Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 225: Seven Outer Courtyards
Ning Fa and a member of the Ning family named Ning Yangcai followed the chubby, round-faced young man named Gao.

Ning Yangcai comes from the lineage of the Great Elder. He has just turned nineteen years old and is at the sixth level of Qi training.

This man looked simple and honest, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.

The round-faced young man summoned a magical vessel that looked like a wooden boat and carried the two of them into the mountain gate.

This person is at the seventh level of Qi training, has a smile on his face, and seems easy to get along with.

After a few words, he became familiar with Ning Fa and the others. They introduced themselves to each other. The round-faced young man was named Gao Tong.

Gao Tong smiled and said, "Two fellow Nings, you are really lucky to be assigned to our Yunlan Academy. You should know that among the seven outer academies, our Yunlan Academy is ranked in the top three in terms of strength. However, there are many high-quality sect missions that only our Yunlan Academy can have, and it is easier to obtain sect contribution points."

"Every year, there are some outstanding brothers who are promoted from our Yunlan Academy to inner disciples. Whether in terms of number or proportion, they are definitely among the top seven in our outer sect academies."

"For example, Uncle Chu, the White Phoenix Fairy who just became one of the Seven Heroes of our Huayu Sect last year, was originally from our Yunlan Academy."

Qualcomm talked incessantly.

Ning Fa listened carefully. Although he had received a lot of information about Huayu Sect from Wei Shiqin in advance, it was definitely not as detailed as what Gao Tong, the outer disciple, knew.

First of all, the disciples of Huayu Sect can be simply divided into menial disciples, outer disciples, and inner disciples.

Above the inner disciples are the true disciples.

Disciples of different ranks receive vastly different treatment and status in the sect.

Therefore, every disciple tried his best to climb up.

Outer disciples make up the majority of Huayu Sect's disciples and are not managed in a unified manner.

Instead, it is divided into seven outer courtyards: Guyun Courtyard, Xinghan Courtyard, Yunlan Courtyard, Yushu Courtyard, Xianlin Courtyard, Chenhan Courtyard, and Lingxi Courtyard.

Each outer courtyard has thousands of outer disciples and has a certain degree of independence.

One of the main differences lies in the sect mission that Gao Tong just mentioned.

Each outer courtyard has some sect missions that are unique to it, which have a great impact on the outer disciples.

Because in Huayu Sect, sect contribution points are too important, even more important than spirit stones.

Not only can you use contribution points to exchange for some elixirs, magic tools and other spiritual items.

The outer disciples' stay, departure and promotion also depend on their contribution points.

For example, if you want to be promoted to an inner disciple, one of the hard conditions is to have enough contribution points.

However, the contribution point requirements for outer disciples with different qualifications are also different.

Basically, the better the qualifications, the fewer contribution points are required, and vice versa.

In addition, there are minimum contribution point requirements.

If an outer sect disciple fails to obtain the minimum contribution points required by the sect within two years, he will be demoted to a menial disciple, and it will be difficult for him to make a breakthrough.

Therefore, the first priority of every outer disciple is to obtain sect contribution points.

Moreover, the sect has certain preferential treatment for new outer disciples.

During the first ten years of joining the sect, the sect will only deduct a small amount of contribution points, leaving you with more time for cultivation.

But after ten years, if you have not yet been promoted to the inner gate, the contribution points deducted will be doubled.

After ten years, it will double again, and the contribution points that need to be deducted every two years will reach a level that ordinary disciples cannot afford at all.

So basically no one can stay in the outer sect for twenty years.

The main way to obtain contribution points is through sect tasks.

Such as guarding the medicinal garden, planting spiritual rice, cleaning the mountain gate, feeding spiritual beasts, capturing monsters, searching for natural treasures, going down the mountain to eliminate monsters...

There are even dangerous tasks like being a drug tester, testing the newly developed elixirs at the inner sect Danding Peak.

Although the contribution points are very high, most outer disciples are reluctant to take the test, because most drug trials have serious side effects. In addition to various sect tasks, the sect also has lectures on the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

There are not only popular professions such as alchemy, weapon refining, formation, talismans, spiritual plants, etc., but also very rare professions in the outside world such as beast taming, spiritual mine exploration, astrology, divination, insect taming, spiritual wine brewing, pharmacology, spiritual embroidery, etc.

However, if you want to learn these hundreds of skills, especially the popular ones, you still need to spend contribution points.

But if you learn something, you can earn contribution points in return.

This made Ning Fa's heart move.

For example, in alchemy, if you perform well in the alchemy lecture, the alchemist may give you some simple alchemy tasks, which are relatively technically demanding tasks with high contribution points.

This is Ningfa’s specialty.

So when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Ning Yangcai listened carefully with his eyes wide open, afraid of missing a single word.

But he looked very nervous, especially when he heard that there was a possibility of being demoted to a menial disciple.

Gao Tong smiled and comforted: "Brother Yangcai, don't worry too much. With your earth spirit roots close to the aptitude of high-grade spirit roots, as long as you practice normally, you will be able to get a large amount of contribution points after the realm breakthrough, which will be enough for you to worry for a long time."

Ning Yangcai's expression looked much better after hearing this, but he was still very nervous and forced a smile.

Gao Tong looked at Ning Fa again and said enviously, "Brother Ning Fa, although you are already at the ninth level of Qi training and can no longer obtain contribution points for realm breakthroughs, but with your cultivation strength, you will definitely be very popular in our Yunlan Academy in the future. I estimate that many people will come to you to form a team to complete some more difficult sect tasks."

Ning Fa's heart moved and he began to ask some concerned questions.

Qualcomm has a detailed answer that knows everything.

Soon after, a towering and majestic mountain appeared in front of us.

The peak is about a thousand feet high, with immortal air rising and rays of light shining. Towers and palaces are looming on the top of the mountain, which is magnificent.

Gao Tong smiled and said, "This is Yunlan Peak, the main peak of our Yunlan Academy. You two will come here often in the future. After all, we have to come here to receive and settle sect missions."

As if responding to what he said.

There were numerous rays of light of different colors rushing towards this peak, there were more than a hundred of them.

Gao Tong flew with the two of them to a platform on the top of the mountain and landed, and was about to move forward.

"Quack!"

A huge fiery red bird landed and a square-faced man as tall as an iron tower jumped down from it.

He was walking forward at a rapid pace, but when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ning Fa and the others, he let out a light exclamation.

Then he stretched out his hand, and with a flash of red light, a fire snake formed by spiritual power suddenly formed.

With a whoosh, it shot towards Ning Fa.

Ning Fa, who was talking to Gao Tong, looked slightly changed.

He snapped his fingers, lightning appeared, and a silver lightning ball collided with the fire snake.

"boom"

After a crash, both of them disappeared into nothingness.

Ning Fa and the square-faced man's expressions changed slightly.

"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"

Ning Fa looked at the square-faced man with a bad expression.

This person is at the ninth level of Qi training, but his aura is much stronger than that of ordinary Qi training practitioners, and he is only half a step away from building a foundation.
