Flying Clouds in Another World

The sect entrance test was held over three days, corresponding to the selection of three levels of disciples: registered disciples, outer disciples, and inner disciples.

On the first day, more than 3,000 people were selected from nearly 10,000 applicants to obtain the qualification of registered disciples. In order to obtain the qualification, one must reach the Great Perfection of the Entry Realm and must not be over 17 years old.

The reason why warriors in this world are called martial artists rather than martial artists is because martial arts training is based on refining the external spiritual energy into the internal vital energy. The amount of vital energy that can be stored and called up in the body is the so-called level of cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the more vital energy can be refined, the better the skills can improve the body functions corresponding to one's constitution, and the more and more exquisite the secret methods of cultivation that can be used.

The speed of practicing most martial arts in this world is similar for people with ordinary talents. If you practice directly based on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it will take about a year just to generate the energy to reach the entry level. It will take ten years to reach the tenth level of the entry level. It will take twenty years to reach the apprentice level, and so on. The time consumed will double for each level. If you practice with crystals rich in spiritual energy, the time will be shortened by half. If you are extremely wealthy and use top-quality crystals to practice, the time will be shortened by half again.

Therefore, those who can improve their cultivation to the disciple level at the age of seventeen are either extremely talented in martial arts or have wealthy families.

Liu Feiyun naturally passed the trial for registered disciples easily.

On the second day, the test to select more than 1,000 of the 3,000 people to become outer disciples began. Although Liu Feiyun felt some pressure, he still passed the test smoothly.

The third day was the most crucial day for Liu Feiyun. Whether he could successfully become an inner disciple and be chosen as a personal disciple by the master of cultivation depended on his performance today.

Early in the morning of that day, Liu Qianqian accompanied Liu Feiyun to the starting point of the trial road. His little follower Liu Shihu also participated in the trial with him.

This Liu Shuhu is his childhood friend, and will be his personal bodyguard in the future. The reason why he has such a status is that his father has saved the master several times and his sister was Liu Feiyun's personal maid. His own talent in martial arts is also extremely outstanding. Under the personal guidance of Liu Feiyun's father, a powerful cultivator, and the accumulation of the Liu family's massive resources, not only has his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, but his actual combat power is far beyond that of martial artists of the same level. The reason why he came to Miyun Sect to worship another master this time was largely to take care of Liu Feiyun in the sect. Of course, this is also a rare opportunity for him.

To put it simply, the inner disciple trials were very simple. They were to pass through layers of levels, and the rankings were arranged according to the order in which they reached the end of the trials. The first 300 or so people who arrived automatically qualified to become inner disciples, and had the opportunity to become direct disciples, while the people who came later could only become outer disciples.

After the masters who intend to recruit disciples have finished their selection, the rest will be the disciples of this session.

"Shihu, no matter what method you use, you must get your master into the top 351. It doesn't matter even if you yourself cannot become an inner disciple." Liu Qianqian was instructing Liu Shihu.

"Miss! Any method is really acceptable. As for the ranking, I don't care. I already have the Earl as my master, so why would I care if I can have another Xiuzun as my master!"

"It's good that you know! As long as no one is killed, I can handle it for you. Just go ahead and do it. But you have to be smart. Who can be seriously injured? Who can't be seriously injured? You have to know it in your mind. Do you understand?"

"Miss, don't worry. I know what I am doing. I will make sure that you can enter the top 351. I don't really care about those so-called martial arts geniuses."

"Don't be careless. Those who can enter the top 1,000 will have some support. Your task is to help your master enter the top 351. Don't be too ostentatious. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Miss, don't worry.

Liu Feiyun sighed in his heart after hearing this. It seems that there is no absolute fairness anywhere. The so-called various methods are essentially to delay or even force other participants to withdraw from the trial. Isn't this obviously cheating? However, Miyun also acquiesces to this behavior, because the inner disciple trial is not only about the level of personal cultivation and the strength of combat power. Unless someone is extremely talented and has a strong personal combat power, he can ignore the interference or even obstruction of some people. Most people have to properly handle the relationship with people who are similar to themselves in ranking. Or form an alliance, over-obstruct, or join a force, or at the cost of giving up the qualification to become an inner disciple, get the support of certain forces, so as to obtain more cultivation resources in the future sect cultivation. How to choose depends on everyone's positioning of their own strength and the level of the goal they pursue.

The hour of Chen had arrived, and the inner sect trial officially began. The trial route was dozens of miles long and divided into ten levels.

The first level is called the Thousand Gold Stone. Each person needs to carry a stone roughly equal to their own weight and walk ten miles. However, at the start, the contestants can pay to reduce the weight of the stones they need to carry. For every ten taels of gold, one pound of weight can be reduced, until all the weight is reduced. In addition, there are wheelbarrows for sale at the starting point. The ten-mile road is flat, so it is very convenient to use a wheelbarrow. However, the number of wheels is limited, only 100, and the highest bidder can get one, with a minimum price of 100 taels of gold.

"One ounce of gold for one ounce of stone. What an expensive stone! Black! Black! It's really black." Liu Feiyun was also secretly shocked: No wonder Uncle Master Zheng Zhou is so greedy for money, it turns out this is the tradition of the Miyun Sect!

Carrying a stone of the same weight as one's body and walking ten miles forward is not a very difficult test for most martial artists who have reached the fourth level of the disciple realm. However, it will greatly affect the speed of moving forward and the ranking behind. In order to save time to reach the end of the trial and to rank higher in the end, the children of wealthy families have paid to buy stones to reduce or even completely avoid the weight so that they can walk lightly. Even some people who don't have much money will buy a car alone or in partnership.

The thousands of people who participated in the inner sect trials were only eight or nine years old, and the oldest was only seventeen years old at most. Their weights ranged from dozens of kilograms to more than a hundred kilograms. Their total weight was at least 70,000 to 80,000 kilograms. As long as a load-bearing stone weighing ten thousand kilograms was sold, it would be 100,000 taels of gold. Even if it was a hundred small carts, at least ten thousand taels of gold could be obtained.

Sure enough, as soon as the trial began, small mountains of gold and silver, as well as piles of crystals and various valuables, quickly piled up at the entrance.
