73: Air lock, air vortex

Everyone nodded.

They all knew that each sect had different operating methods.

Selecting elites for cultivation was very normal.

After all, the sect's resources were limited.

It was impossible for every disciple to receive cultivation from the sect.

Thus, the Red Tiger Sect adopted a method of using three years of Night Watch life to temper and select worthy elites, and then they would focus on cultivating these elites.

They would also let these elites feel the sect's Pay attention to for them, thereby allowing them to develop a sense of belonging to the sect.

"Contribution points are equally important in the Upper Sect."

"They are still the key to exchanging for various cultivation techniques, weapons, and cultivation resources."

"If you want to advance your position, such as being promoted to Elder, you also need a large number of contribution points."

"And the ways to obtain contribution points, besides performing missions, are mainly through cultivation."

The Inner Sect Disciple surnamed Su continued.

"You can get contribution points through cultivation?"

Everyone was very surprised by this.

"That's right."

The Inner Sect Disciple surnamed Su had long anticipated everyone's reaction.

He was the same when he first came to the mountain.

He said with a smile.

"I just said that for us Inner Sect Disciples, the most important thing in the sect is cultivation!"

"The contribution points that can be obtained through cultivation are even more than the contribution points from performing missions."

"For example, if you now break through Entering Martial Realm and step into Qi Martial Realm, you will immediately receive ten thousand contribution points."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Ten thousand contribution points... For most Night Watch, it would take at least a year or more of missions to obtain so many contribution points.

But for Inner Sect Disciples... it was just a single breakthrough in realm, and they could directly obtain ten thousand contribution points!

Such a difference... already left them speechless.

"Although ten thousand contribution points are a considerable amount in the Lower Sect and Jin Yun City, in the Upper Sect, the purchase of many cultivation resources often starts at several thousand contribution points, and there are quite a few resources that start at tens of thousands of contribution points."

"At the same time, in addition to receiving contribution points when you break through from Entering Martial Realm to Qi Martial Realm, once you reach Qi Martial Realm, you will continue to receive contribution points with every advancement you make. You will know the specifics after you break through to Qi Martial Realm."

"In short, you must remember."

"For us Inner Sect Disciples in the sect, the most important thing is cultivation!"

"Missions are secondary."

"Even if you don't do a single mission, there won't be any problems."

"Of course..."

"If the sect has any important actions, we cannot refuse."

Everyone nodded.

They also understood.

The sect gave them good treatment, and when the sect needed them to do things, they also had an unshirkable responsibility.

Xiao Shi felt that this method of Inner Sect Disciples focusing on cultivation was quite suitable for him.

He didn't have to venture out to fight and kill; he could just cultivate steadily within the sect and gain contribution points through cultivation.

It was very comfortable.

Of course, for some people who liked fighting and adventure, it would be a bit boring.

Just like that, under the explanation of the Inner Sect Disciple surnamed Su, Xiao Shi and the others gradually gained some understanding of the Upper Sect.

Afterward, they successively received their Inner Sect Disciple tokens and exclusive robes, and also had residences in the Upper Sect.

The exclusive robes of Inner Sect Disciples were not ordinary clothes.

Instead, they were clothes of the Qi Martial Realm level.

However, one had to reach Qi Martial Realm to unleash the robes' effects.

Besides that.

What everyone looked forward to most was the method for breaking through to Qi Martial Realm!

By now... most of them had already reached Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level.

They were just missing the method for breaking through to Qi Martial Realm.

The method for breaking through to Qi Martial Realm was usually a secret in various sects.

Only by becoming a key Inner Sect Disciple cultivated by the sect could one obtain the method for breaking through to Qi Martial Realm.

After they successfully received the jade slip recording the method for breaking through to Qi Martial Realm.

They all returned to their respective rooms, eager to examine it.

Xiao Shi was also very concerned about the method for breaking through to Qi Martial Realm.

After picking up the jade slip, he immediately began to examine it carefully.

It wasn't until late at night that Xiao Shi finally thoroughly understood the contents of the jade slip.

And the entire jade slip slowly dissipated in his hand.

This type of jade slip could only be viewed once.

After viewing.

The jade slip would disappear.

Therefore, when viewing it for the first time, one needed to remember everything within it.

Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

Numerous messages recorded in the jade slip echoed in his mind.

The breakthrough to Qi Martial Realm was more complex than he had imagined.

The entire breakthrough was divided into two steps.

The first step.

Using Qi and blood, find the Qi Lock hidden within the body.

The so-called Qi Lock is a kind of shackle hidden within the human body. Ordinary people cannot see it or perceive its existence. Only by reaching Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level can one use Qi and blood to search for it within the body and find it.

The second step.

After finding the Qi Lock, break it open to activate the Qi Vortex sealed by the Qi Lock.

The Qi Vortex is a hidden point of Qi absorption within the human body, possessing mysterious power. Once activated, the level of life will be changed.

The biggest difference between Entering Martial Realm and Qi Martial Realm also lies here.

Entering Martial Realm cultivates the accumulation of Qi and blood.

While Qi Martial Realm cultivates continuously breaking open Qi Locks and activating the Qi Vortex sealed by the Qi Lock.

Only by activating the Qi Vortex.

Can one obtain the core power of Qi Martial Realm from the Qi Vortex —

Qi Strength!

Xiao Shi had a deep understanding of the power of Qi Strength.

This was a higher level of power that far surpassed Qi and blood.

"Then..."

"I will now first use Qi and blood to sense and find the Qi Lock hidden within my body..."

Xiao Shi immediately followed the method recorded in the jade slip, using his own Qi and blood to search for the Qi Lock.

According to the jade slip's description.

The denser the Qi and blood, the easier it would be to find the Qi Lock.

With his Qi and blood... he believed it wouldn't be difficult to find these Qi Locks.

"Let's begin!"

Xiao Shi's mind stirred.

The Qi and blood within his body seemed to form a monstrous wave that surged up, rushing madly towards all parts of his body like an overwhelming torrent.

Under the eruption of Qi and blood within his body, waves of power spread throughout his entire body, like powerful searchlights, illuminating and revealing the hidden Qi Locks one by one, causing them to emerge from within his body.

These Qi Locks were distributed throughout Xiao Shi's entire body, whether in his meridians, flesh and blood, or internal organs, all contained Qi Locks.

At first glance... Xiao Shi felt as if his entire body was wrapped in dense shackles.

And behind each Qi Lock, a Qi Vortex was sealed!

What Qi Martial Realm cultivators had to do was to break open these Qi Locks one by one and activate one Qi Vortex after another!
