“Good, you have guts! Then I, this Senior Brother, will go first. Don’t run away, hahahaha.”
Jian Renwang laughed and left.
After all, he was not afraid of Ling Xiao escaping.
If one accepted exchanging pointers but refused to participate, it would be considered a loss. At that time, unless Ling Xiao ran away from the Moonlight Sect, he wouldn’t escape the fate of becoming a slave.
After Jian Renwang left, Ling Xiao didn’t stay for long.
In any case, he had no intention of living where the servants lived; it would be a humiliation. Jian Renwang had delivered himself to his doorstep, so he would accept the other party’s kindness.
“Zhao Zhi, Senior Sister Yuling, in this period of time, you have to take care of me. When I, this outer disciple, am bullied, you can’t stay on the sidelines.”
While on the way, Ling Xiao joked to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Ling Xiao, don’t joke around. Although you have not been promoted to the Inner Sect, we know that you are stronger than us.”
Dai Yuling wryly smiled and said: “Merely, in the Inner Sect, there are many people who are stronger than you. You should be more cautious, and it would be best if you didn’t offend the inner disciples, especially the top ten core ones!”
“Senior Sister Lan is also a core disciple, right?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Mmm, Senior Sister Lan is ranked second. To be precise, the full name of the core disciples is the core inner disciples. Those ten are the most outstanding in the Inner Sect.”
Zhao Zhi replied.
“Oh, it turns out to be like this. Then, what about the recent activities of the Inner Sect? Do I, a person that came to participate in the joint training, just accompany the inner disciples?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Recently, there have been no activities in the Inner Sect since everyone is preparing for the ‘Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony’ in two months. Therefore, they won’t easily go out to carry out tasks.”
Zhao Zhi continued: “I have asked those outer disciples that came to participate in the joint training. Other than receiving only the Outer Sect’s salary and no upgrade in outfit, they will be treated as lower-level inner disciples. In other words, you can also accept tasks that only the inner disciples can take.”
“Wait a minute, in other words, we should also get our own cave dwellings, right?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Yes, that’s the rule, but the Inner Main Hall has always been domineering. They basically don’t attach any importance to the outer disciples, so this rule exists in name but not practice,” said Zhao Zhi.
“Hehe, so that’s how it is.”
Ling Xiao smiled and asked again: “In fact, I’m more interested in the Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony. Who will participate from the Inner Sect? Will the top ten core disciples participate?”
“It’s very unlikely.”
Zhao Zhi shook his head. “As far as I know, the Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony is held once a year, and the age limit is for those below thirty; moreover, everyone has just three opportunities, and all the core disciples have already gone three times.”
“Oh, is that so? Then, the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony will be pretty simple.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“Simple?”
Zhao Zhi bitterly smiled and said: “Based on the information gathered from previous ceremonies, I have concluded that if you want to be eligible to participate, your cultivation must be at least at Rank Five Transcendent Realm, i.e. the so-called ‘Extraordinary Strength Realm’.”
“So excessive!”
Ling Xiao frowned. Originally, although he had thought that there would be some restrictions, he had never thought that the competition for the Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony would be so fierce.
Now, it seemed that he had thought too simply.
His cultivation base was not enough. He needed to improve it!
Ling Xiao secretly clenched his fists, but there was no change in his expression.
“Alas, I’m already hopeless.”
Zhao Zhi sighed, summoned his courage, and said: “Fortunately, the age limit is thirty, and I’m still young. Even if I can’t participate now, it doesn’t mean I can’t participate later.”
“Zhao Ci and I are also not eligible.”
Dai Yuling smiled bitterly.
If it was according to the standards of what Zhao Zhi had said, it was no wonder that no outer disciple had ever been qualified to participate in the Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.
Rank Five Transcendent Realm!
This was definitely not a cultivation base that an outer disciple could achieve.
After all, once an outer disciple stepped into the Transcendent Realm, he or she would be impatient to enter the Inner Sect. He wouldn’t remain in the Outer Sect like Ling Xiao.
If it was based on the standard of Rank Five Transcendent Realm, even Ming Tian and Leng Hao wouldn’t have a chance to participate.
Nevertheless, cultivation base alone wasn’t true strength.
Ling Xiao was sure that if Ming Tian and Leng Hao could reach the Rank Four Transcendent Realm within the next two months, they would still be eligible to participate.
The reason why a genius was a genius was that a genius could display more combat power than ordinary martial artists.
Battling higher-ranked people was a simple matter.
“Oh, that’s right! Junior Brother Ling, I wonder if anyone told you that those outer disciples that come to participate in the joint training can get a wooden token for the Inner Moonlight Tower. Didn’t that deacon who led you in give it to you all?”
Zhao Zi suddenly asked.
He was truly worthy of having an Elder Imperial Uncle. He knew more about the Inner Sect joint training than Ling Xiao and the others participating in it.
“A wooden token of the Inner Moonlight Tower?”
Ling Xiao, Jian Xing, and Lin Feng were all surprised.
“I’ve never heard of it!”
Jian Xing said with a bitter smile: “I have already participated in the joint training three times, but no one has ever told me about this. Where did you learn of it?”
“It is included in the regulations of the Inner Sect joint training. It’s a firm rule of the sect. I guess that the Inner Deacon took your tokens and issued them to his own people. After all, even if you are an inner disciple, it’s not easy to enter the Inner Moonlight Tower. The entering frequency and time are also limited.”
Zhao Zhi explained: “I got a copy from my Imperial Uncle. Take this and find that Inner Deacon. In any case, you have to take this opportunity. It’s too precious, especially for you outer disciples.”
“Many thanks, Senior Brother Zhao.”
Because Zhao Zhi had been promoted to the Inner Sect, Ling Xiao and Zhao Zhi’s titles had changed again. This was common sense in the sects.
In fact, Ling Xiao had long wanted to go to the Inner Moonlight Tower. Merely, even after being promoted into the Inner Sect, he would still have to complete tasks and gather sect contribution points for a chance, which was a lot of work. He might as well have completed the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony with the status of an outer disciple first.
Thus, this Inner Sect joint training was an extra chance.
In the Inner Moonlight Tower were rare gold-grade martial arts, superior gold-grade martial arts, and peak gold-grade martial arts.
These were separated by a mysterious formation into three doors.
Since Ling Xiao had already entered Moonlight Tower once, he had already branded the formation in his Landscape Martial Soul, having it analyze and crack it.
In any case, the Landscape Martial Soul was interlinked with his mind and fused with his soul. The Landscape Martial Soul also possessed his knowledge of formation and arrays, so it would be easier to analyze and crack them.
