Xiao Han thought to himself. According to the inner disciples, becoming an outer disciple was equivalent to attaining a higher level in the martial dao. They would be groomed by the sect and would be given elixirs every month. They could even choose martial techniques and secret manuals. That's great …
"Xiao Han!" At this moment, a supervisor looked at Xiao Han with a sharp gaze.
"Oh?" Xiao Han was stunned.
"Xiao Han, from today onwards, you are an outer disciple of our Cloud Rain Sect.
Our Cloud Rain Sect is one of the top five sects in Beacon Fire Empire. All of our disciples are extraordinary.
You will be respected when you travel the pugilistic world.
You must pay attention to your health and bearing in the future. Everything you say and do is not to be trifled with.
You must not tarnish the reputation of Cloud Rain Sect.
Most importantly, you must not collude with the demon race!
The demon race is the natural enemy of the human race. Any disciple of our Cloud Rain Sect, from the core disciple to the inner disciple, must draw their sword and slash the moment they encounter a demon race. They must not be soft-hearted or be bewitched by the demon race. Do you understand? "
"Oh, I know about this. The Demon Clan feeds on the brains of humans. They are extremely cruel and violent. If I encounter the Demon Clan, I will naturally strike first. Oh, no, I should strike first. Otherwise, if my brain is sucked by them, it will not be a joke." Xiao Han nodded in agreement.
"Mm, that's fine.
Also, you relied on precious resources to complete your Bone Burst. You can say that you have no martial dao foundation. Therefore, you must not be complacent.
After all, martial dao is still dependent on talent and perception. "Another supervisor looked at Xiao Han with disgust.
Xiao Han looked at the supervisor's gaze and his heart skipped a beat … Could it be that because of my poor background, these people are going against me?
One of the managers said with a smile after looking at his face.
"Xiao Han, don't think too much. The sect will give you all the benefits that you deserve.
However, you must remember that Cloud Rain Sect has a large number of outer disciples and the competition is extremely intense. The sect will only focus on nurturing the outstanding ones.
We will not spend too much manpower and resources to nurture those mediocre ones.
Survival of the fittest.
All in all, as long as you have a future, the sect will not care about your background.
Alright, I'll get someone to bring you to collect your benefits and arrange a place for you to stay. "
After saying that, the manager looked at the edge of the square.
The young men and women who had stopped to watch turned around and left.
"These fellows …" The manager could not help but laugh. Soon after, he waved his hand at a young man at the edge of the square who did not intend to leave.
"Ah Chou, come here."
"Oh, yes, Manager." The young man walked over as if he was flying.
"Xiao Han, this is Ah Chou. He can be considered as your Senior Brother. His cultivation has also reached the peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm. He is a very good person." The manager introduced him to Xiao Han with a smile.
"Huh?
Ah Chou? "
Xiao Han looked up and saw that the young man was tall and slender. He was full of energy and his breathing was steady. However, his face was completely ruined.
There was a large red scar on his face, like some kind of tinea. It took up three-quarters of his face, and even his nose and lips were covered by the tinea.
The tinea was not only red and very eye-catching, there were even small protruding beans on it. It looked very disgusting.
"This … Ah Chou … no wonder this person is called Ah Chou … he, he is indeed very ugly …" Xiao Han muttered in his heart. But soon after, he thought, "I am just a live target. I don't have a good background. What right do I have to talk about other people's beauty or ugliness?" With this thought, Xiao Han smiled at Ah Chou.
"Senior Brother Ah Chou, I am Xiao Han. I just entered the outer sect. Please take care of me."
"Ha, Junior Brother Xiao Han. You flatter me."
Ah Chou looked at Xiao Han's face and found that there was no obvious disdain or disgust in Xiao Han's eyes. Thus, he was very happy and spoke politely to Xiao Han.
"En. Hahaha, Ah Chou, I see that you and Xiao Han hit it off quite well.
Then you can bring Xiao Han to collect his benefits.
Also, tell Xiao Han some of the outer sect rules. "A manager smiled and waved his hand at Xiao Han and Ah Chou." Go, go. "
"Junior Brother Xiao Han, please follow me." Ah Chou warmly greeted Xiao Han.
"Alright." Xiao Han followed Ah Chou and left the plaza.
"Hahahaha, look. One is of lowly birth and is a live target. The other is extremely ugly. These two people really appreciate each other. Birds of a feather flock together."
"Hahahahaha."
The three managers couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Han was brought by Ah Chou and left the plaza. They stepped onto a large road.
They walked along the large road.
This large road was very wide. It could at least allow ten horses to run side by side. The road was clean and spotless.
Countless thousand year old trees were planted on both sides of the road. It was full of antiquity.
Wisps of immortal qi floated around Xiao Han's body. It was faintly discernible.
Other than that, there were rows upon rows of shops.
Xiao Han took a slight breath and smelled a thick medicinal fragrance in the air. It made him feel relaxed and happy.
The passersby were all young talents.
The men were either vigorous and ferocious, or like the reincarnation of a wild beast. Some were elegant and graceful, some were cold and aloof. The women were beautiful, the daughter of a humble family, the heroine.
These men and women were dragons and phoenixes among men!
They were all outer sect disciples. Not only were their physical bodies fuller than any inner sect disciple that Xiao Han had seen before, but their spirit and bearing were also a cut above others.
"Tsk tsk. This atmosphere …" Xiao Han couldn't help but exclaim.
"Junior Brother Xiao Han, how is the outer sect atmosphere?" Ah Chou smiled.
"Good. Very good.
No wonder all the inner sect disciples want to enter the outer sect at all costs.
That's great.
There's a sense of transcendence everywhere. "Xiao Han nodded sincerely.
"That's right." Ah Chou nodded too.
"Xiao Han, let me tell you. You've been an outer sect disciple for a few years and have some experience. When you go out in the future, you'll be respected everywhere."
After a pause, Ah Chou introduced again.
"Xiao Han, our Cloud Rain Sect has a total of ten outer sect peaks like this. They are called the 'Ten Outer Sect Peaks'. On each peak, there are about 2000 outer sect disciples."
"What?
Ten Outer Sect Peaks?
Over 2000 disciples on each peak?
Tsk tsk. Wouldn't the entire Cloud Rain Sect have over 20,000 outer sect disciples? "Xiao Han was shocked.
"Yes.
Xiao Han, the competition between the Ten Outer Sect Peaks can be said to be intense. Our peak is slightly weaker. Among the Ten Peaks, we're probably ranked seventh or eighth.
If it wasn't for the support of the two geniuses, Senior Brother Ling Feiyu and Senior Brother Meng Ran, I'm afraid our ranking would drop.
However, Senior Brother Ling and Senior Brother Meng might enter the inner sect at any time. By then, our peak might be at the bottom. "Ah Chou revealed a worried expression.
"Oh … I see." Xiao Han nodded. Then, he had a thought and said softly.
"Senior Brother Ah Chou, I want to ask about someone."
"Who?
Who do you want to ask about?
Xiao Han, I've been in the outer sect for five years. Putting aside everything else, I know a lot of people.
Who do you want to ask about? "Ah Chou said.
"Is there an outer sect disciple called 'Xue Jianfeng'?" Xiao Han's voice trembled slightly.
"Xue Jianfeng?" Ah Chou paused and said with widened eyes.
"That's one of the top figures among the outer sect disciples!
A prodigy who entered the outer sect three years ago. Now, he's already starting to change his blood. His fleshly body is about to be tempered to the point of showing off his abilities. He's only eighteen years old, right? His sword skills are unparalleled and has already reached the qualifications to enter the inner sect. However, he's arrogant and unruly. He claims that he wants to absorb true energy into his body. After he reaches the true energy realm, he will grandly become an inner sect disciple. He might even directly ascend and become a true disciple. "
"Why? Xiao Han, you know Xue Jianfeng?
He's a super expert of the ten peaks in the outer sect, the strongest peak.
If you have a friendship with him, then your future will be very good. In the outer sect, no one will dare to provoke you. Even some inner sect disciples will have to give you face. "Ah Chou looked at Xiao Han and said.
"So powerful …" Xiao Han licked his lips. "Senior Brother Ah Chou, you misunderstood. I don't know him.
I'm just asking casually.
I'm just a live target. How could I know such a person with such great talent? "
"That's true.
Xue Jianfeng is too arrogant and has very few friends.
Maybe geniuses have very few friends. "Ah Chou chuckled and said.
Suddenly, Xiao Han murmured in an extremely low voice.
"Xue Jianfeng … I lost a very precious thing. One day, I must get it back from him."
"Xiao Han, what did you say?" Ah Chou asked suspiciously.
"Oh … nothing, nothing," Xiao Han quickly said.
"Oh right, Senior Brother Ah Chou, what other rules are there in the outer sect? Tell me about them."
"There aren't any special rules.
In fact … "Ah Chou lowered his voice and said.
"Rules are all fake. As long as one is powerful, who cares about rules. Rules my ass.
But between outer sect disciples, private fights are strictly forbidden. If there's enmity or hatred, both sides must discuss beforehand and settle it on the stage.
For example, if I offended other outer sect disciples, according to the rules, they can't beat me up in front of me. If they want to fight me, they must get my permission. Both sides will agree on a time and fight on the stage to decide the winner. "
"Ha … that's a good rule." Xiao Han laughed.
"Alright, we're here. Xiao Han, I'll bring you in to collect your welfare first." Ah Chou brought Xiao Han outside a magnificent building.
The two walked in one after the other.
Ah Chou stepped forward and helped Xiao Han with some procedures, and took out a brocade bag.
"Xiao Han, open the bag yourself. This is the basic welfare. You can collect it once a month." Ah Chou smiled and said.
"Look at it as we walk. I'll bring you to where you live now.
Oh, there's a key in the bag. It's the key to the courtyard gate that was given to you.
The place you live is not far from where I live.
It's good that we can take care of each other.
I'll bring you there now. "
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Ah Chou to take care of everything." Xiao Han smiled and opened the bag.
The bag wasn't big. There was only a string of coins, a small booklet and a key inside.
"Huh?" Xiao Han was stunned.
"Why aren't there any medicinal pills?
I heard that outer sect disciples get medicinal pills every month. "
"Xiao Han, do you see that string of 'True Martial Coins'?
That's the currency of our Fire Beacon Empire's martial dao sects.
With 'True Martial Coins', you can go to any martial dao sect in Fire Beacon Empire to buy medicinal pills, martial arts manuals, weapons, secret realm maps … This is the hard currency of us martial artists.
Look at the shops over there. There's a medicinal pill shop, a weapon shop, and the street stalls over there.
Some outer sect disciples will set up street stalls and sell martial arts manuals, all kinds of materials, herbs, rare treasures … As long as you have enough 'True Martial Coins', there's nothing you can't buy. "Ah Chou started introducing non-stop.
"Oh … So it's not just medicinal pills, but coins …" Xiao Han suddenly realized. He looked at the string of 'True Martial Coins'. There were about 100 of them.
"Every month, 100 'True Martial Coins' is the basic welfare of us outer sect disciples." Ah Chou grinned and said.
"The ten peaks of the outer sect, the disciples of each peak receive different basic welfare every month.
For example, our peak can only be ranked seventh or eighth among the ten peaks. Then, the basic welfare we receive is only 100 'True Martial Coins'.
As for the peak that is ranked at the top, tsk tsk, let me tell you, just the peak that Xue Jianfeng is at, any outer sect disciple can get 1000 True Martial Coins every month … "
"What?
Our peak gets 100 every month, and they get 1000 every month?
What kind of logic is this?
The difference is ten times! "Xiao Han immediately cried out.
"Who asked us to be weak?
Don't blame the heavens and blame others. There's no fairness in this world. Whoever's fist is bigger will get more benefits.
I've already looked down on it. "
Ah Chou smiled helplessly. "Alright, Xiao Han, cultivate well. As long as you're strong enough, you'll have plenty of opportunities to earn True Martial Coins in the future."
"Also, that booklet mainly introduces the basic knowledge of the physical body realm of martial dao, as well as the general geographical situation of our world, the customs, the empire's sects … When you go back and have time, study it again." Ah Chou continued.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll bring you to the peak where the martial arts scriptures are stored to receive the Viscera Refining Realm's breathing technique. You can also choose a martial skill."
"Martial skill?
That's great!
Until now, I only know the 'Barbaric Bull Bone Forging Fist'. It's said that it's only a basic body refining technique and not worth mentioning. "Xiao Han said excitedly.
"Of course, any martial skill in the Martial Skill Pavilion is many times better than the 'Barbaric Bull Bone Forging Fist'." Ah Chou nodded repeatedly.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at a vast area with birds chirping and fragrant flowers, green vines intertwining, and lush vegetation.
Between the trees, they could see many houses with red walls and green tiles.
Every house had a large courtyard, and it seemed to be even more luxurious than the rich families in the secular world.
From time to time, there were sika deer, monkeys, antelopes, and other docile animals walking around in the forest, not afraid of humans.
There was the fragrance of plants in the air, and Xiao Han felt refreshed just by taking a breath of the air.
Not long after, Ah Chou brought Xiao Han to a maple leaf forest. In the depths of the forest, there was a luxurious and spacious courtyard.
Curved eaves, glazed tiles, and white stone steps. It actually gave off a feeling of splendor and splendor.
Xiao Han's eyes widened.
When he was a live target, he lived in a simple and crude stilt house, and he lived in groups. Compared to this courtyard in front of him, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Xiao Han, this is the benefit of being an outer sect disciple. This courtyard belongs to you now.
Quickly take out the key and open the door. "Ah Chou patted Xiao Han's shoulder and said.
He opened the door.
What entered his eyes was a large garden and a small scale martial training field.
The garden took up a few acres, and the martial training field was also a few acres in size.
There were pavilions everywhere, bamboo swayed, and water trickled. The air was enshrouded with an immortal aura.
Xiao Han swallowed his saliva looking at it.
