Chapter 1: The Star Picking Sect
The Star Picking Sect, located in the East Continent of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, is one of several prestigious martial arts sects in the East Continent.
There are many disciples in the Star Picking Sect, and there are nearly 8,000 miscellaneous disciples alone, and if you add other kinds of disciples and personnel, there are as many as 10,000 people in the entire Star Picking Sect.
There are not 1,000 martial arts sects in Dongzhou, but 800, and more than 10,000 martial arts sects in the entire Dongzhou are less than a handful of them. In many other martial arts sects, there are only a few thousand disciples, and only a few dozen.
And how big is Dongzhou - hundreds of millions of square kilometers!
Among these many martial arts sects, there are very few giants like the Star Picking Sect, and all of them are existences that deter thousands of miles.
The Star Picking Sect is bounded by the Lingxi River and is divided into north and south banks.
The north bank occupies a vast area and has abundant spiritual energy, and all the disciples above the inner gate of the sect live on the north bank, while the miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples are only worthy of living on the south bank.
At this time, at the foot of a mountain somewhere on the south bank of the Star Picking Sect, several anxious shouts came from outside a wooden house.
"Xiaobai!
Standing outside the door and shouting was Chen Hai, who was also a disciple of the outer sect with Ye Xiaobai.
Chen Hai was dressed in a green shirt, looking like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, not fat or thin, and his appearance was average. In the Star Picking Sect, all the outer disciples wore cyan robes to show their identity.
After shouting, Chen Hai waited outside the courtyard gate for half a quarter of an hour, and the wooden door he was anxiously staring at came from a creak and slowly opened.
The reason why Chen Hai stood outside the courtyard for a long time instead of stepping forward and knocking on the door was because there were clear regulations in the Star Picking Sect that if he broke in and disturbed others' cultivation, he would be severely punished.
The reason why the Star Picking Sect has such a rule is because the place of residence is often a retreat place for cultivators, especially the outer disciples in the sect, who almost all of them participate in the practice of enlightenment and retreat and practice in their own huts.
If the ordinary cultivation is disturbed, it is fine, but if it is interrupted at a critical moment, it is tantamount to cutting off one's future, and it will often evolve into a situation of non-ending.
Chen Hai is a cautious and old-fashioned personality on weekdays, even if he and Ye Xiaobai are already good friends, he is not willing to violate the rules of the sect at will-even if he is convinced that Ye Xiaobai is just sleeping lazily in the house......
The door opened, and I saw a young man of the same age as Chen Hai walking out of the house, it was Ye Xiaobai who Chen Hai shouted.
opened the door, Ye Xiaobai leaned on the door frame, looking sleepy-eyed, obviously just getting up.
Seeing Ye Xiaobai appear, Chen Hai hurriedly walked to Ye Xiaobai's side and said, "Xiaobai, you are really sleeping lazy! How can we be so lazy as martial artists! We should work hard to cultivate and strive to become an inner disciple as soon as possible!"
"Yes.... Be. ”
Leaning against the door frame, Ye Xiaobai replied with a lazy expression, and half-squinted one eye.
The heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary-these should not have anything to do with Ye Xiaobai......
Ye Xiaobai's appearance can only be regarded as above average, and at most he can be called handsome. tied his hair casually behind his back, dressed in a green shirt, with a black trouser belt tied around his waist, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
If Ye Xiaobai really has anything different, it is probably that there is an occasional trace of vicissitudes and cynicism in his eyes.
"I really like the warm sun in the morning, and I like the feeling of the small sunlight shining on my body. ”
Chen Hai stood aside, looking at the lazy Ye Xiaobai with an anxious face, while Ye Xiaobai was stretching his waist comfortably, while pretending to talk to himself.
"Xiaobai, did you listen to ......?"
"Ann, Ann. ”
Seeing Ye Xiaobai's appearance, Chen Hai wanted to continue to remind himself of this little friend, but Ye Xiaobai had already interrupted him.
For Chen Hai, Ye Xiaobai can be said to know very well, old-fashioned and cautious but warm-hearted.
Putting a hand on Chen Hai's shoulder, Ye Xiaobai spoke: "Xiaohai, I understand your kindness. Isn't it the task of the sect, don't worry, the surname Liao can't do anything to me. ”
After speaking, Ye Xiaobai nodded at Chen Hai and patted him on the shoulder twice, with a look of affirmation and encouragement in his eyes.
"Xiaobai, I should be older than you......"
"Know, don't worry, I'll take care of you. ”
Ye Xiaobai completely ignored Chen Hai's defense, and patted Chen Hai on the shoulder a few times one after another, his eyes were like elders looking at juniors, full of love and encouragement.
"You have only become a second-level cultivator, and you have been promoted to the outer gate later than me, I am now a fifth-layer mortal, and I am one year older than you, it should be me who takes care of you." You should call me Senior Brother. ”
Chen Hai's expression was serious and serious, as if he wanted to clarify a certain fact as much as possible.
Seeing Chen Hai's serious face, Ye Xiaobai continued: "Young people, don't be too entangled in these problems, you have to do more practical things, and only by working hard can you prosper the country!"
Looking at Ye Xiaobai, Chen Hai looked helpless, he really didn't know what to say......
Metamorphosis is the minimum standard for becoming an outer disciple of the Star Picking Sect, and Ye Xiaobai was successfully promoted from a miscellaneous disciple to an outer disciple a year ago.
There are many disciples in the Star Picking Sect, which are divided into miscellaneous servants, outer gates, and inner gates......
The realm of cultivation can be divided into the realm of forging the body, the realm of gathering spirits, the realm of metamorphosis, the realm of heaven and man, and so on.
The realm of forging the body, as the name suggests, is a realm of exercising and boiling muscles and bones, and multiplying internal strength. Ordinary Body Forging Realm martial artists don't even have the qualifications to become miscellaneous disciples in the Star Picking Sect.
In the Star Picking Sect, the minimum requirement to become a miscellaneous disciple is to cultivate to reach the Gathering Spirit Realm within the age of eighteen!
When the flesh reaches a limit, breaks through the shackles of the flesh, communicates with heaven and earth, exhales aura, and turns aura into true element, it is the realm of gathering spirits.
Forging the body realm to the spirit gathering realm is a qualitative leap, and in the world, the spirit gathering realm is also called the innate realm.
If a miscellaneous disciple is over eighteen years old and still fails to break through to the Gathering Spirit Realm, the outcome he faces is to be kicked out of the Star Picking Sect.
In the Star Picking Sect, there are nearly 8,000 miscellaneous disciples, which is the largest group in the Star Picking Sect, which is almost 8,000 martial artists in the Spirit Gathering Realm!
There are 8,000 miscellaneous disciples, 6,000 outer disciples, and only 300 inner disciples!
Of the three hundred inner disciples, there are not many of them, but there are not many of them!
If an outer disciple wants to become an inner disciple, he has to defeat an inner disciple and replace him!
Miscellaneous disciples need to break through to the Gathering Spirit Realm before the age of eighteen, while outer disciples need to cultivate above the Mortal Realm, and as for the inner disciples, all of them are in the Heavenly and Human Realm!
Depending on the level of the disciples, the cultivation resources given within the sect are naturally very different.
For example, for miscellaneous disciples, the sect will only give five lower-grade spirit stones every month for cultivation resources, and they also need to complete various miscellaneous tasks.
Not to mention the cultivation resources of miscellaneous disciples, even the cultivation time is also small. Miscellaneous servants are just miscellaneous people, and they are not really disciples of the Star Picking Sect.
Only when he was promoted from a miscellaneous servant to the outer gate could he be regarded as stepping into the gate of the Star Picking Sect with both feet.
The outer disciples can obtain a hundred lower-grade spirit stones every month, and in addition to regular sect tasks, the outer disciples do not need to do any sect chores.
And the inner disciples can get a hundred medium-grade spirit stones every month!
One hundred medium-grade spirit stones is equivalent to a full 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Lingshi is mined in the Lingshi vein, and according to the different qualities, it is divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and superb, and the exchange ratio between each grade is one to one hundred.
Spirit stones are the universal currency of the cultivation world, which can be used to buy and sell items, and can also be used to absorb cultivation.
Of course, the standard spirit stones used as currency are generally not used for absorption and cultivation, and the spirit stones used for absorption and cultivation are basically broken spirit stones, that is, spirit stones of irregular size.
Directly absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone to cultivate is a rather extravagant thing, and it is a local tyrant's behavior.
If the outer disciples are the real disciples of the Star Picking Sect, then the inner disciples are the mainstay of the Star Picking Sect, and they have really been valued and cultivated by the sect.
In addition to talent, the most important thing in cultivation is cultivation resources.
Wealth is the law of the land, and wealth comes first.
The higher you climb, the more abundant the cultivation resources you can obtain, so almost all of the more than 10,000 disciples of the Star Picking Sect have sharpened their heads and are desperately trying to climb upward.
The miscellaneous disciples want to become outer disciples, the outer disciples want to be promoted to the inner door, and the inner disciples dare not slack off at all, there are more genius disciples above who overwhelm them, and there are outer disciples below who are all like wolves and tigers coveting their positions, and they may take their place at any time!
It is this kind of strict hierarchy and survival of the fittest that has made the Star Picking Sect talented in large numbers, and together with the other three sects, it has become a giant of the Martial Dao Immortal Sect that has stood in Dongzhou for thousands of years.
And as a super sect, the Star Picking Sect has so much authority and power that it makes Ye Xiaobai, a traverser, dumbfounded.
The country is not the pinnacle of power in this world at all, and a powerful warrior monk can completely destroy a country with one person!
Only a sect like the Star Picking Sect is the true overlord of this world, high above it, controlling the life and death fate of hundreds of millions of living beings.
