Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 4: Differences Between Equipment
The Qingheng Sect basically ignores its outer disciples, and even continues to exploit them.

but!

When the outer disciples had just entered the Qi Refining stage.

The sect will also give some rewards, which can be considered an investment in the disciples.

Although the items were few, they were quite important to Zhang Yan, a disciple who had no power, influence, or backing.

I cleaned my face.

Zhang Yan walked out of the room and happened to see Old Lin also coming out.

"Shall we go?" Old Lin greeted him with practiced ease.

I'm going to take Zhang Yan to work with me.

But suddenly, he froze on the spot, staring intently at Zhang Yan.

"You...have mastered Qi!"

Old Lin's voice sounded somewhat indifferent.

"It's just a fluke!"

Zhang Yan bowed and did not deny it.

He couldn't hide his level of cultivation, or perhaps he didn't intend to.

"lucky!!!"

"This is unbelievable! How come I've never been lucky enough to escape this fate!"

Old Lin scoffed at Zhang Yan's use of the word "luck."

He was no novice in cultivation; he had been on the path of immortality for decades. He showed Elder Lin that there was no such thing as luck in advancing one's cultivation.

"Since that's the case, Junior Brother Zhang, you should hurry to the sect. Only after you obtain the Jade Disc Talisman will you be considered a true member of the immortal sect." Although shocked by Zhang Yan's cultivation speed, Elder Lin quickly adjusted his state and even addressed him as Junior Brother.

The attitude is completely different from before.

"Mr. Lin, there's no need for that. Please just call me Zhang Yan." Zhang Yan quickly declined.

"How can that be? You were a mortal before, but now you are a cultivator. You should be treated as fellow disciples."

"Now that Junior Brother Zhang has entered the realm, he must be heading to the sect. I won't keep you any longer, you should go quickly."

Mr. Lin completely disagreed with Zhang Yan's statement.

He still called Zhang Yan his junior brother.

Zhang Yan no longer tried to stop him.

However, they still maintained the proper etiquette for juniors.

After leaving the manor and getting his bearings, Zhang Yan headed straight for the outer gate.

I don't know if it's because I successfully practiced Qi cultivation.

Zhang Yanlian felt that the surrounding environment had improved a lot, and the air was particularly fresh.

Along the way, the overgrown weeds and the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs did not affect his good mood in the slightest.

"finally reached."

I glanced at the three characters "General Affairs Hall".

Zhang Yan straightened his clothes and then quickly went inside.

The General Affairs Hall was small, and there was only a middle-aged Taoist priest leaning on the counter. When he saw Zhang Yan enter, he looked up at him.

"Junior brother, what brings you here?" The middle-aged Taoist priest asked with a smile as soon as he saw Zhang Yan.

"Greetings, Senior Brother. I have just entered the Dao through Qi Refining today and have come to receive the sect's benefits," Zhang Yan said hastily, bowing to the middle-aged Daoist.

"So it's a newly initiated junior brother!"

"I remember the new disciple has only been in the sect for two months, and you've already achieved Qi Refining and entered the Dao! Congratulations!" The middle-aged Daoist offered his congratulations, then continued, "May I ask which master you, junior brother?"

"I have no master; I'm just an outer disciple. I'm currently a spirit farmer in the spirit plant garden." Zhang Yan didn't hide his situation.

"Without a master, you actually achieved Qi Refining and Dao in just two months! Junior Brother is truly a genius!" After saying this, the middle-aged Taoist quickly verified Zhang Yan's identity and then took out a jade talisman and a storage bag, handing them over.

"The benefits that outer disciples receive upon entering the Dao through Qi Refining include a storage bag, two Daoist robes, a jade talisman, 100 contribution points, and the ability to learn two spells for free at Wudao Peak."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Having received the reward, Zhang Yan quickly expressed his gratitude.

The Taoist robe has already been placed in the storage bag.

The jade talisman is an identification mark of the Qingheng Sect and can also be considered a magic artifact. It can store contribution points and, in times of crisis, can activate a protective shield that can withstand a late-stage Qi Refining attack while releasing a marking spell to mark the enemy.

If it were to be sold, this single jade talisman could fetch dozens of spirit stones.

Of course.

This is one's own identity document; basically, no one would take it out to sell.

Moreover, the Qingheng Sect strictly forbids such behavior. If discovered, the practitioner's cultivation will be immediately revoked and they will be expelled from the sect. In serious cases, they may even face a fate worse than death. "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Zhang Yan received the benefits, thanked the middle-aged Taoist priest, and then turned to leave.

And after Zhang Yan left.

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at his back as if he were thinking about something.

Finally, he shook his head slightly: "Never mind, never mind, he's just an outer disciple after all."

……

I came out of the General Affairs Hall.

Zhang Yan touched the storage bag at his waist, feeling an indescribable excitement.

As he expected.

Whether it's a storage bag or a talisman.

They're all equipment!

[Name]: Basic Storage Bag

[Quality]: Gray
[Equipment Effect]: Any part of the body can become an entrance/exit for a storage bag.

【Name】：Famous Brand Jade Talisman
[Quality]: Green
[Equipment Effect]: Increases defense effect by 10%, provides a defense shield, and a mark.

"Something's wrong."

Looking at the descriptions on the two pieces of equipment, Zhang Yan frowned.

Especially that famous jade talisman.

It turned out to be a green-grade piece of equipment.

However, what puzzled him was that although the attributes on this equipment were powerful, they were different from those on the Jade Slip for Transferring Power and the Spirit Hoe.

The jade slip containing the transmission of skills contains the entry for "Minor Success in Changchun Gong".

The Spirit Hoe even includes two profession-specific entries: Spirit Plant Identification and Spirit Plant Maintenance.

The green equipment only had the original affixes of this magical artifact.

This made him a little strange.

"Could there be some difference between these two magical artifacts?"

Zhang Yan frowned, pondering carefully.

Finally, he suddenly woke up.

These two magical artifacts seem to be different from the previous two.

Those two magical artifacts were both secondhand.

But these two magical artifacts are different now.

Both of these magical artifacts are standard sect artifacts; they are entirely new magical artifacts.

Nobody has ever used it.

"I see!"

"Therefore, the mastery of the Changchun Technique, as well as the cultivation and identification of spiritual plants, are actually based on the experience of the previous owner!"

Think of this.

Zhang Yan suddenly understood.

"If that's the case, then I'll need to collect more secondhand magical artifacts!"

"As long as I have enough secondhand magical artifacts, I can always pick out some useful entries!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan suddenly limped.

They did not return to the plant garden.

Instead, they headed straight for the sect's market.

The Qingheng Sect is a large sect.

The sect has tens of thousands of disciples, a Golden Core ancestor in charge, occupies two countries, and even engages in inter-state trade.

Therefore, their sect had a market where disciples could exchange goods and services.

Although it can't compare to a dedicated market town.

However, there are relatively few counterfeit products here, and the quality is guaranteed.

Some items are sold much cheaper than outside, so many outer disciples even go so far as to search for secondhand magical artifacts in the sect's market and sell them in the outside market.

You can earn a lot of spirit stones in one go.

Zhang Yan originally had no interest in the sect's market, but now that he knew that second-hand magical artifacts were useful to him, he naturally had to take a look!
