Chapter 103 Channels for Advancement to the Inner Gate
Chapter 103 Channels for Advancement to the Inner Gate
The main hall of Qinglu Sect.
Gao Yunrui and other high-level officials of Qinglu Sect gathered together, but everyone's face looked unhappy, and some even showed a hint of worry. The reason for all this was the result of this true teaching trial.
This time, the trial of the true teachings was ambushed by an unknown force, resulting in serious losses of outstanding disciples in the sect. Among the top nine true teaching seeds, 4 died, 3 were seriously injured, and only 2 returned safely.
Among the four people who fell, included were the two true seeds of the Foundation Establishment Period who were ranked 4nd and 2rd. Although the lives of the three seriously injured people were saved, their injuries were too severe and had damaged their foundations. Unless there are rare materials and treasures that can repair the damaged foundations, there is no possibility of further progress.
This means that out of the nine true seeds, seven were killed in this trial. Add to that the other inner disciples who also suffered heavy casualties. This is a huge loss, and it is equivalent to wiping out an entire generation of Qinglu Sect.
Fortunately, He Shaogang, who was the most promising, was safe and sound, and Yuan Niya also returned safely. It was a blessing in disguise that these two youngest true seeds escaped the disaster.
However, He Shaogang and Yuan Niya alone cannot support the entire Qinglu Sect. If the Qinglu Sect still had a Yuanying ancestor, it would give the Qinglu Sect time to continue to cultivate a new generation, but...
Gao Yunrui looked at the report in his hand and clenched his fists. His heart was filled with anxiety at the moment. The large-scale loss of elite disciples in the sect this time was equivalent to forcing Qinglu Sect into a dead end. The only way to resolve this crisis was to successfully refine the Ningying Pill and he, Gao Yunrui, would step into the Nascent Soul stage.
"Let everyone in."
Gao Yunrui sighed, and then the disciples who were taking part in the true teaching trial entered the hall. Looking at the sparse crowd, the Qinglu Sect's high-level officials present felt a sense of sadness in their hearts, because this was the future of the Qinglu Sect.
"Now I announce the official list of true disciples!" Gao Yunrui glanced at the disciples in the hall and began to announce the final results of this true disciple trial.
"He Shaogang!"
The first name Gao Yunrui called out was He Shaogang. No one was surprised by this. He Shaogang's performance this time was perfect. Not only did he complete the task smoothly, but he also killed a foundation-building killer by crossing levels. Although there were foundation-building protectors assisted him, this was enough to prove He Shaogang's talent.
Upon hearing his name, He Shaogang immediately stepped out and received the token representing a true disciple from Gao Yunrui.
"My disciple, work hard. The future of Qinglu Sect depends on you." Gao Yunrui said in a gentle tone. Qinglu Sect suffered a great disaster, and the younger generation was almost wiped out. Now Gao Yunrui can only count on this disciple. With the talent shown by He Shaogang, he may be able to turn the tide and hold up the banner of the younger generation of Qinglu Sect.
"Disciple will do his best." He Shaogang looked solemn.
Most of the outstanding disciples of the younger generation of Qinglu Sect have been killed. Naturally, the genius He Shaogang will be valued more and more. He will also gain more power, and it will become easier to destroy Qinglu Sect.
If there was no bug with Gu Mo, this plan would be absolutely perfect. But now what He Shaogang wanted to do most was to get rid of Gu Mo.
If Gu Mo lives one more day, He Shaogang will be filled with anxiety and uneasiness. However, the plan for Gu Mo has already been planned. It's just that He Shaogang wants to make sure it is foolproof this time, so it will take more time.
"Yuan Niya!"
After He Shaogang stepped down, Gao Yunrui immediately announced the name of the second true disciple. With the fall of the second and third true seeds, Yuan Niya's ranking directly dropped to second.
In other words, even if those two had not died, Yuan Niya's performance this time was enough to make her rank second. She also successfully completed the trial mission and killed two Qi training great perfection cultivators and several Qi training late stage cultivators. Although this record was not as amazing as He Shaogang's killing of the foundation building cultivators.
That was also an extremely amazing record. After all, Yuan Niya was only a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Killing a cultivator at the great perfection of Qi Refining was not much worse than He Shaogang.
"Yes, you have the style of your master back then."
Gao Yunrui took out the True Disciple Order, handed it to Yuan Niya, and praised. Killing a Qi Refining Great Perfection at the sixth level, Gao Yunrui remembered that Yuan Niya's master Zhuo Suzhu had such a record.
Hearing the sect leader's praise, a happy smile immediately appeared on Yuan Niya's little face. Seeing this, Gao Yunrui smiled. Not only were their battle records similar, but their personalities were also 70% similar.
"Ye Yuqi!"
After Yuan Niya, Gao Yunrui announced the name of the third true disciple. Originally, Ye Yuqi's ranking had fallen outside the top nine. If this ambush had not happened, Ye Yuqi would have had a high probability of missing out on the position of true disciple. However, the death of the top-ranked true disciple seed this time allowed Ye Yuqi's ranking to rise and he directly rushed to third place.
"I've met the sect master!"
Ye Yuqi stepped forward and bowed, his expression neither happy nor sad, because his mind was a little confused at the moment. Before the True Transmission Trial, Ye Yuqi spent all his money to hire a killer organization to kill Yuan Niya, and then this big kill happened.
This made Ye Yuqi make some associations between the two, although he felt that it was impossible that this incident was caused by him ordering someone to kill Yuan Niya.
But if the sect knew about this, he would definitely die. Now the sect was fully investigating the force that attacked them. If Ye Yuqi was exposed, he would definitely be considered a spy of that force by the sect.
"Practice well. The future of the sect is in your hands." Gao Yunrui handed over the true transmission token and gave a few simple words of encouragement.
Although Ye Yuqi's performance is not as good as He Shaogang and Yuan Niya, and there is even a huge gap, the other party was once a top-ranked inner disciple. Gao Yunrui is still looking forward to Ye Yuqi's future achievements.
After Ye Yuqi, the gap between the next true disciples and He Shaogang and Yuan Niya is as huge as a cliff. It is no exaggeration to say that these true disciples have slim hopes of entering the Golden Core realm in the future, and this is when the sect provides them with some resources for forming a Golden Core.
However, the number of true disciples in the sect is fixed at nine, and even if there is an accident, the number of disciples will not be reduced. However, this batch of true disciples should become the worst batch in the history of Qinglu Sect in terms of overall strength.
"You nine people will be the true disciples of my Qinglu Sect from now on. Your every move represents the honor and disgrace of the sect. I hope you will practice well and not bring shame to the sect." After announcing the list of true disciples, Gao Yunrui warned the nine people in front of him.
"Yes!"
The nine people responded in unison. "I have one more announcement to make." After completing the promotion ceremony for the true disciples, Gao Yunrui spoke again, "Three months later, the sect will hold a competition for outer disciples. The top ten in this competition will be able to enter the inner sect."
This true teaching trial resulted in serious casualties among the inner disciples, so Gao Yunrui naturally had to replenish them. To replenish the inner disciples, he usually looked for talented young people from the mortal world.
But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Every time Qinglu Sect recruits disciples, it is considered a good harvest if one or two can enter the inner gate. Most of the time, there is not even one.
Slowly searching among the mortal world is obviously not suitable for the current situation of Qinglu Sect, so Gao Yunrui chose to select directly from the outer disciples.
This ambush caused some panic in the entire sect. The inner disciples suffered huge losses, but the outer disciples also suffered huge losses. After all, every inner disciple who participated in the trial would hire a few assistants, and these assistants were basically outer disciples.
Therefore, the number of outer disciples killed this time was several times that of inner disciples. It was just that the number of outer disciples in Qinglu Sect was large, so the overall loss rate was not as serious as that of inner disciples.
Gao Yunrui now opened a channel for outer disciples to enter the inner sect, also with the intention of appeasing those disciples. Afterwards, Gao Yunrui would also conduct a competition for menial disciples and select some of them to become outer disciples.
Sure enough, as the news spread, all the outer disciples were excited. Normally, the only way for an outer disciple to become an inner disciple is to become a foundation-building cultivator and enjoy the treatment of an inner disciple in the name of a sect deacon.
However, with the talents of outer disciples, it is not impossible to achieve foundation building, but it is extremely difficult.
Now the sect has directly provided a channel for promotion, how can this not surprise people, especially some outer disciples who are quite powerful, who secretly regard the top ten in this competition as their own possession.
"It's an opportunity for the outer disciples to compete." Gu Mo thought to himself as he looked at the message sent by Yuan Niya.
If he could become an inner disciple with the help of this competition, then He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi would need to be more cautious if they wanted to touch him.
Gu Mo knew the true origins of He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi, and they would definitely think of ways to get rid of him. One of them was the first true disciple, and the other was the sect steward. Gu Mo was currently an outer sect disciple, and he would be at a disadvantage facing the two.
Originally, Gu Mo planned to show his strength as a spiritual plant master to Qi Chunde, the elder spiritual plant master, to see if the other party would make an exception and accept him. Gu Mo, who successfully condensed his spiritual consciousness, can now use some methods of a second-level spiritual plant master.
With the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage and the ability to condense spiritual consciousness, with such talent, there should be great hope if one makes a slight exception.
As long as he could become Qi Chunde's disciple, even if Gu Mo had a Jindan elder as his backer, he would be able to better deal with the threats from He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi.
But now Gu Mo saw a better way, which is to become an inner disciple through this competition. Although there is still a gap between the inner disciples and the direct disciples of the Jindan elder.
But the good thing is that Gu Mo doesn't have to reveal too many cards. Like Elder Qi showing off his ability as a spiritual plant master, that would require exposing the fact that Gu Mo is concentrating his spiritual consciousness. When the news gets out and He Shaogang knows about it, the other party will definitely be on guard against this move when he wants to deal with him.
This is equivalent to Gu Mo losing a trump card.
As for participating in the outer sect competition, with Gu Mo's current combat power, he can definitely kill his way through the entire outer sect competition, unless a foundation-building cultivator appears in the outer sect competition, but this is obviously impossible.
As for the exposure of his cultivation level due to participating in the martial arts competition, he has the elixir that the sect master rewarded him with before. Moreover, Gu Mo is now practicing the Breath-Containing Technique and has mastered the complete Breath-Containing Technique. Gu Mo can already push the Breath-Containing Technique to the great perfection realm.
When the great success level of Breath-Concealing Technique is performed, even the cultivators in the Golden Core Realm will not be able to see through Gu Mo's true intentions. By then, Gu Mo will be able to hide even his spiritual power in the form of mist.
The more Gu Mo hides, the more cards he will have in his hand to save his life when facing danger in the future.
After digesting the message sent by Yuan Niya, Gu Mo put away the communication jade talisman and planted a sunflower seed. After returning to his spiritual field, Gu Mo planted all the sunflowers as soon as possible.
At the same time, as the defense of the spiritual field increases, Gu Mo also plans to increase the number of sunflowers. Previously, Gu Mo planted 15 sunflowers in the spiritual field. This time, Gu Mo plans to increase the number of sunflowers to 30.
Becoming an inner disciple makes He Shaogang wary, but this is only a temporary solution. If he really wants to resolve the crisis, improving his own strength is the only way out.
Gu Mo's strength is directly related to the sunflower. The sun essence condensed by the sunflower can be used to upgrade and purchase plants, and it can also increase Gu Mo's cultivation speed.
Gu Mo is now just one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and entering the seventh level of Qi Refining. Once Gu Mo enters the late stage of Qi Refining, there will be no more bottlenecks before building the foundation. As long as there is enough solar essence, Gu Mo can quickly enter the great perfection of Qi Refining.
It will take a long time for an average Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator to enter the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, because at this stage, the Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator needs to condense all the gaseous spiritual power in the body into mist, which is a relatively time-consuming process.
Of course, this process can be accelerated with the help of spiritual stones, elixirs or natural treasures, but the spiritual power in Gu Mo's body has already been in a mist state. Therefore, when he stepped into the ninth level of Qi Refining, he did not need to wait at all and could directly enter the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection.
After that, as long as Gu Mo can get a piece of tier 2 spiritual field and obtain a complete tier 2 solar essence, he can become a foundation-building cultivator without any obstacles.
Speaking of spiritual fields, Yuan Niya successfully became a true disciple, and Gu Mo and Chu Feifei both received generous contributions from the sect. It can be said that Gu Mo is not far from exchanging for a 2nd-level spiritual field. It seems that the top ten in this outer sect competition will not only be able to enter the inner sect, but will also be rewarded with a contribution from the sect.
By then, Gu Mo should be able to collect enough sect contribution to exchange for a tier 2 spiritual field.
In addition, Gu Mo has another way to obtain the second-level complete solar essence without using the second-level spiritual field. That is the 2 medium-grade spiritual stones he just obtained. Burying the 2 medium-grade spiritual stones in the flowerpot can definitely create spiritual power to the level of a second-level spiritual field in a short period of time.
There will be absolutely no problem in planting the level 2 sunflowers and condensing several complete level 2 solar essences.
These 50 mid-grade spirit stones are also a card in Gu Mo's hand. If he really encounters any critical situation, Gu Mo will choose to use these 50 precious mid-grade spirit stones to condense a complete second-level solar essence and allow himself to directly enter the foundation-building period.
