22: Qing Yuan Jue Jiuzhou Chronicle
In the end, only five people passed the assessment.
The reward of one Marrow Cleansing Pill was also very tempting.
The other assessors, although they did not pass, there was nothing they could do.
This assessment was truly a bit inhumane.
Hundreds of people gathered.
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over them, and a clear voice rang out: "Alright, next, everyone go to the New Disciple Hall for identity registration."
After speaking, the middle-aged man stepped towards the Sect gate.
Han Li and his group followed behind, a mighty procession.
The other Disciples of Qingyuan Sect separated into two sides, heading towards the Sect gate together.
Passing through the Sect gate, their gaze stretched into the distance.
In the distance, palaces and pavilions stood tall, clouds and mists swirled, and towering, majestic peaks rose, exuding a grand Aura.
"This is Qingyuan Sect..."
"The Aura of Qing Province's largest School is truly magnificent!"
Han Li sighed in his heart.
Immediately, he withdrew his gaze and continued forward.
The Martial Dao would also begin here!
This was the first Martial Dao School he had encountered.
If his second uncle hadn't brought him here to participate in the assessment, he would probably still be cooped up in a mountain gully.
This world was far more exciting than he had imagined... Qingyuan Sect, New Disciple Hall.
Han Li and hundreds of new Disciples arrived in front of the hall.
The three-zhang-high hall was entirely black.
One by one, the new Disciples, led by a dedicated person from Qingyuan Sect, stepped into the hall.
Looking up, the dome inside the hall shimmered with starlight, and the entire New Disciple Hall was clean and tidy.
Registering and receiving an identity token.
This was the first step to entering the Sect.
Lined up, the Disciples quickly registered one by one.
They were the first batch of new Disciples in five years.
There would be more new Disciples tomorrow and the day after.
In front of the window, Han Li received his identity token and the reward for passing the second stage.
There were also some other items.
Two sets of clothes and two booklets.
These were basically the items new Disciples were to receive.
After receiving the new Disciple items, Han Li queued up to the side.
The identity token was green.
Through understanding, Han Li also learned some of Qingyuan Sect's rules and regulations.
New Disciples were uniformly Outer Sect Disciples of Qingyuan Sect.
Only by Cultivating to the Vein Opening Realm could one become an Inner Sect Disciple.
Above Inner Sect Disciples, there were also True Disciples.
These were the strongest Disciples of Qingyuan Sect.
Only by Cultivating to the Innate Realm could one become a True Disciple.
The treatment in all aspects was almost beyond imagination.
True Disciples were the core of the School.
As for other aspects of the situation, Han Li was temporarily unclear.
Of the two booklets in his hand, one was Qingyuan Sect's Cultivation Technique.
The Qing Yuan Skill.
However, it was only a portion; this part of the Qing Yuan Skill could only be Cultivated to the Vein Opening Realm, not to the Innate Realm.
Only by becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of the Vein Opening Realm could one obtain the School's subsequent Cultivation Technique.
This was also a protective measure.
To ensure the core of the School.
Besides the Cultivation Technique, the other booklet was a book titled Records of the Nine Provinces.
Han Li also read a few pages; it was roughly a book covering the geography of the Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty.
The Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty were vast in territory.
Han Li also planned to read it carefully and absorb this information, which would be very convenient for his travels in the future... The new Disciple procedures were handled quickly.
All hundreds of new Disciples completed their procedures.
In the end, Han Li and the three other people with exceptional talent stayed behind, while the other new Disciples were taken to the special living quarters for new Disciples.
Watching the other new Disciples leave, the middle-aged man turned to look at Han Li and the other three.
On the first day of opening, four individuals with exceptional talent appeared, surpassing the records of previous sessions.
Looking at Han Li and the three others, the middle-aged man's face showed a warm smile.
"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Wu, Wu Yuan, and I am a Manager of Qingyuan Sect."
"Greetings, Manager Wu!"
Han Li and the three others spoke simultaneously.
Manager Wu's face showed a friendly smile, and then he continued: "I kept you four because of your exceptional talent. With exceptional talent, you can become Disciples of the Sect Elders. It's already late today, I will take you to rest later, and I will come again early tomorrow morning. At that time, arrangements will be made, do you understand?"
"Understood." x 4.
"Very good, now I will take you to rest first." Manager Wu nodded, then turned and left the New Disciple Hall.
Han Li and the three others followed behind, leaving the New Disciple Hall together... Soon, under the guidance of Manager Wu, they arrived in front of a courtyard.
"This is where you will temporarily rest. There are plenty of rooms inside, and someone will deliver food to you later. Rest well." Manager Wu said, looking at Han Li and the three others.
Han Li and the others nodded, and then Manager Wu left.
Watching Manager Wu leave, the fatty was the first to push open the courtyard gate and step into the courtyard.
Han Li and the other two followed closely, stepping into the courtyard.
The courtyard was quite large, with some flowers and plants planted inside, and a large tree in the courtyard.
There were even more rooms.
There were seven or eight rooms.
Entering the courtyard, the four looked at each other.
"Let me introduce myself, my surname is Chen, my name is Chen Dongfeng, I am fifteen this year, my goal is to become a top Martial Dao expert in the world, and to sleep with the most beautiful women in the world."
The fatty said with a laugh, introducing himself.
Han Li: "..."
The young man in white: "..."
The young girl: "..."
This goal... was truly "simple and unadorned"!
Looking at the fatty, Han Li smiled in his heart; this guy seemed quite easygoing.
"What about you guys, aren't you going to introduce yourselves?"
Looking at Han Li and the other two, Chen Dongfeng blinked.
The young girl's face was flushed, and she spoke timidly: "I... my name is Yang Qi, my goal is... is to become a Martial Dao expert."
"Bai Wushuang." The young man in white spoke, his expression indifferent.
"Han Li." Han Li also reported his name.
Chen Dongfeng nodded.
"Alright, we can consider ourselves acquainted. From today on, we are all fellow Senior Brothers of the same School. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word. Within the scope of my ability, I will certainly not refuse."
Chen Dongfeng patted his chest and said with a laugh.
Han Li nodded, Yang Qi also nodded, while Bai Wushuang had an indifferent expression.
At this moment, Chen Dongfeng took out a small golden pouch. With a movement of the pouch, all the clothes and items in his hand were stored inside, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
"hundred treasure sack!"
Looking at the golden pouch Chen Dongfeng put away, Bai Wushuang spoke.
"Hehe, you have good eyesight, don't you? That's right, it's a hundred treasure sack, given to me by my dad." Chen Dongfeng said with a smile.
"This thing, isn't it the Storage Pouch from novels..."
Looking at the hundred treasure sack Chen Dongfeng put away, a light flashed in Han Li's eyes.
This was the first time he had seen it; he had never seen one before.
Advanced goods!
At this moment, Yang Qi also revealed a pouch, and the next second, the items in her hand were stored into the pouch.
Immediately after, Bai Wushuang also took out a similar pouch and stored his items inside.
Han Li: "..."
Goodness, so I'm the only poor one... Looking at the three successively taking out hundred treasure sacks to put away their things, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.
These three guys all came from extraordinary backgrounds.
To have such Advanced goods, they definitely weren't ordinary people.
"Brother Han, why don't you put yours away?" Chen Dongfeng looked at him.
Bai Wushuang and Yang Qi also looked at him.
Han Li: "..."
"I come from humble origins; I don't have such a thing."
Han Li spoke openly and frankly.
Hearing this, the three suddenly understood.
Chen Dongfeng looked at him and said: "It's alright, this thing isn't much. Coming from humble origins isn't a disgrace. Once you become a Disciple of an Elder, they will definitely give you one."
"I'm going to rest." Bai Wushuang spoke, then found a room and entered it.
"Then... then I'm also going to rest." Yang Qi spoke, and saying so, she also chose a room.
"Let's chat later when we eat, I'm a bit tired too." Chen Dongfeng spoke, and casually entered a room.
Han Li also followed and entered another room.
In the room, there was only one bed, and the bedding on the bed was complete.
Sitting on the bed, Han Li temporarily put down the two sets of clothes and picked up the Records of the Nine Provinces to read.
Reading carefully, Han Li also became clear about the geography of the Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty.
The vastness of the Nine Provinces was beyond imagination.
In the Records of the Nine Provinces, besides describing the Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty, there were also some strange occurrences.
Such as some Forbidden Grounds.
And some extremely peculiar places.
The one that left the deepest impression on Han Li was Dark City.
This was a very peculiar place, a land of eternal night.
There was no daytime, only night.
And Dark City also had an extremely terrifying Forbidden Ground, the Thunderous Ruins.
A place teeming with demons.
This place left a strong impression on him.
However, it was too far away, and he definitely couldn't go there for now. He would go when he achieved a certain level of success in the future.
After finishing the Records of the Nine Provinces, Han Li's gaze fell upon the Qing Yuan Skill.
This was the only Cultivation Technique he had encountered so far.
With the Qing Yuan Skill, he could Cultivate True Qi and Breakthrough to a higher level.
