Bamboo Mound

Seeing this, Ning Chang knew that he was of no use to Ning Chang, so he decided to take a walk around the sect first.

While we're at it, we'll also get rid of the Xuan Shui Turtle and Xuan Shui Snake, leaving only the turtle shell to use as material for crafting armor later.

Having made up his mind, Ning Chang nodded to Ge Shu one last time, then looked around for directions and headed into Medicine King Valley.

After waiting a while longer, and with dozens of elders standing in the square, the escape lights from all sides finally stopped!

Then Ge Shu gently waved and took the lead into the open gate of the secret realm.

Countless streaks of light followed closely behind, flashing from the plaza into the portal!

......

That Hidden Knowledge Stone is indeed a wondrous substance. Ever since Ning Tongyu transmitted the map of Medicine King Valley into his mind, whenever he needed to determine a location, he only needed to think for a moment and the entire landscape of Medicine King Valley would instantly appear clearly!

Shifting his attention away from the map in his mind, Ning Chang found himself in front of this somewhat rough-looking white stone square, which covered an area of ​​about four or five hectares!

This plaza stands right in the center of the three areas divided by the river!

Outwards are several rings of identical houses, and beyond that are endless fields, planted with all sorts of different kinds of spiritual plants, occupying the entire area!

Looking back at the area in front of them, the sheer size of the white stone plaza suggests that it is not particularly welcoming to the newly arrived disciples.

Without any cultivation or footwork skills, just walking around here once or twice would be a great torture for the legs and feet.

With just a casual glance, one can see the clear road marks on the white stone, worn smooth by countless footsteps.

What puzzled him was that although the marks were obvious, they were relative to the rough texture of the surrounding area, which looked as if it had just been mined from the mountain rocks.

In any case, it didn't feel like it had been trampled for thousands of years; it felt like only a few months had passed!

After realizing that he had been standing there with his hands clasped for a while, Ning Changcai finally moved under the questioning gazes of several passing disciples.

The outermost edge of White Stone Plaza consists of several steps, and then dozens of meters inwards, there are buildings. The overall materials used are different from those of the plaza, but they are still rough and the materials are indistinguishable from stone and jade.

However, it is also clear that a lot of effort was put into the carving, making it a large-scale version of the frosted material.

Several halls and structures are interconnected, forming a large circle around the entire square, with the activity plaza in various senses located in the center.

In the center of the square, covering an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, was a battle arena with dozens of arenas.

At a glance, you can see the purpose of the design: the sides of the arena are smooth, and there is a gap where it connects to the plaza. When needed, it can be lowered completely to create a large arena!

However, there were only a few arenas with people on them at the moment, and they were all battles between people at the Spirit Fusion Realm, which were not very exciting.

Once Ning Chang entered the square, he realized it had suddenly become lively, even somewhat comparable to the daily life in Wangzhou City!

While keeping an eye on the flow of people, Ning Chang walked around the square and found that even in a space of this size, there were only five different structures.

Arranged clockwise are the alchemy room, the herb plantation, the discipline hall, the bounty hall, and the exchange hall.

From the conversations of the disciples passing by, he roughly understood the functions of the alchemy room and the herb garden.

In Medicine King Valley, there are special places for alchemy, which can be rented using merit points.

It likely contains an alchemy furnace, as well as a specially designed environment to assist in alchemy!

Furthermore, it was divided into several tiers, but he didn't hear anything about the specifics on the way, and it had nothing to do with him.

The Herb Planting Office is responsible for collecting and distributing spiritual plants and seeds to all disciples, and is the main way for outer disciples and prospective disciples to obtain merit points.

Prospective disciples have one chance to receive spirit plant seeds and various tools for free; after that, they will have to exchange them using merit points.

What surprised him even more was that in Medicine King Valley, even prospective disciples who had just joined the sect yesterday were given their own personal space bags!

There are even initial resources of one hundred spirit stones and three bottles of Tier 1 Spirit Gathering Pills!

However, most of the prospective disciples have not yet attained any cultivation level, so it is likely that they have not yet received any initial instruction.

As for the other three buildings, you can tell what they are for just by looking at their names.

Among them, the alchemy room and the exchange hall alone occupy two-thirds of the entire building area!

Of the remaining portion, the Discipline Hall occupied only 30% of the space, and it was also the place with the fewest people coming and going in the entire square. Only a few disciples dressed in blue and white robes could be seen coming and going in twos and threes, all with expressionless faces.

The other seven parts are the bounty hall, next to the exchange hall, while the medicinal plant area is located in the middle of the alchemy room, which is quite convenient in terms of function.

After completing this round, Ning Chang arrived at the exchange hall under the watchful eyes of all the disciples.

No wonder he attracted attention; it was truly because he had forgotten to ask Ning Tongyu for the sect's robes.

Even the other prospective disciples who joined the sect at the same time as him were given special prospective sect robes, but he still wore that indigo robe, walking among a crowd of people dressed primarily in green...

Even the disciples of the Discipline Hall dressed in blue sect robes kept staring at him on the way. If he hadn't been at the Spirit Platform Realm, he probably would have been stopped and questioned earlier!

What Ning Chang didn't know was that in Medicine King Valley, most disciples who had reached the Spirit Platform Realm had already successfully advanced to inner disciples, and it was quite common for inner disciples to change their clothes and not wear the sect robes.

When there are no other matters, the sect generally does not concern itself with the clothing of inner disciples. However, outer disciples and prospective disciples are required to wear sect robes at all times, regardless of the reason.

However, the fact that inner disciples could dress freely was not known to outer disciples, which is why outer disciples and prospective disciples paid attention to Ning Chang.

As for the disciples of the Discipline Hall, although they suspected that Ning Chang was an inner disciple, they did not see any identity jade token on him, which was why they paid attention to Ning Chang.

Although rare, the Discipline Hall has indeed recorded such cases: inner disciples went out without wearing their sect robes and forgot to wear their identity jade tokens.

In such situations, according to regulations, one should observe the words and actions of suspicious individuals to determine whether they are outsiders.

Ning Chang's calm and leisurely demeanor, unlike those of unaffiliated cultivators, yet his cautious and hesitant manner, as if visiting the main square for the first time, left them unsure of what to do.

After all, although it was recorded in the Discipline Hall, this was the first time they had ever seen it.

So they simply set up a small team, pretending to patrol, to keep a close watch on Ning Chang's movements, which was also a way of fulfilling their duties.
