Chapter 370: The Proud Student of the Outer Courtyard

Qingyang packed up a few things and came to the outer courtyard hall with Chen Biwang. The two of them came early. There were not many people in the hall at this time, but the stewards and stewards of the outer courtyard had arrived, and Uncle Deng and Uncle Qi had been waiting inside.

After registering with Uncle Qi, the two stood aside and waited patiently for the arrival of others. As time went by, more and more people gathered in the hall. Not long after, the number of outer courtyard disciples who came to register reached more than 70, all of whom held the Demon Hunting Order. Outside the hall, there were many others who heard the news and came to watch the excitement or to see them off.

Among the more than 70 people, more than 80% of them were at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and most of the rest were at the fifth level of Qi Refining. There were only two or three people at the fourth level of Qi Refining, including Qingyang, and there was no one below the middle stage of Qi Refining. Qingyang couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, otherwise the third level of Qi Refining would be too conspicuous here.

Among these people, there are a few familiar faces, the most conspicuous of which is Qin Ruyan, whose cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. After six years of not seeing each other, Qin Ruyan has become more beautiful. She is a little arrogant and noble, but also has a hint of mature woman's charm. Standing there, she is like a crane standing out among chickens. Many disciples beside her seem to be unable to take their eyes off her.

Deng Changting is naturally indispensable next to Qin Ruyan. His cultivation is still lower than Qin Ruyan, at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Uncle Deng must have spent a lot of effort to get him a Demon Hunting Order.

Another familiar face is Ma Yingjiao. Ma Yingjiao's cultivation is also at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but judging from his aura, he is stronger than Qin Ruyan, who is also at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

In the crowd, Qingyang also saw a more unexpected figure, that is, Tong Yan, a disciple of the inner courtyard. This Tong Yan entered Qingyang in the same batch as Qingyang. At the beginning, because of the qualifications of Tianlinggen, he was directly assigned to the inner courtyard. I didn't expect to meet him again here.

The spiritual roots of heaven can cultivate fast enough. After only a few years, Tong Yan's cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. I am afraid that he is the highest among their batch of disciples. Qingyang used ten years to cultivate from the entry level of cultivation to the fourth level of Qi Refining. He became a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining in his twenties. He was a little complacent at first, but now he is just a turtle's speed compared with others.

Among Qingyang's batch of disciples, there must be more than Tong Yan whose cultivation exceeds the fourth level of Qi Refining. However, the others did not qualify for the trial of Chaos Demon Valley, so they had no chance to appear here. Tong Yan should be the only one who participated in the trial of Chaos Demon Valley as an inner courtyard disciple.

Tong Yan was also a little surprised to see Qingyang, but it was not because he knew Qingyang. Although they entered Qingfeng Hall in the same batch, Tong Yan was a child of destiny, while Qingyang was just an ordinary disciple, so he was naturally not qualified to be remembered by others. Tong Yan was surprised by Qingyang's age and cultivation. It was unexpected that he had reached the middle stage of Qi Refining at the age of more than 20, and it was even more surprising that he could get the Demon Hunting Order. Therefore, he thought Qingyang was the direct descendant of an important figure in Qingfeng Palace.

Among the seventy or so people, Qingyang could only recognize four of them. This could only be blamed on the fact that Qingyang had been in the outer courtyard for a short time, and he usually spent most of his time practicing and rarely went out to socialize with others, so it was reasonable that he knew few people.

Among the remaining people, of course, there were some more outstanding figures. Some of them were powerful at first glance. Although their cultivation was also at the sixth level of Qi Refining, their aura was much higher than that of other disciples at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Qingyang could feel that these people's strength was unfathomable, and they were not much inferior to some cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Chen Biwang had been in the outer courtyard for nearly twenty years, and seemed to know these people better. After his whispered introduction beside him, Qingyang also got to know several of the more outstanding figures.

The one standing in the front, nearly 40 years old, with a fierce face and red hair, is called Tu Honghu. He could have broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining long ago, but because he didn't catch up with the last trial of Chaos Demon Valley and didn't want to miss this one, he deliberately suppressed his cultivation and didn't break through. This person is powerful and is not inferior to ordinary Qi Refining Level 7 cultivators.

Not far from Tu Honghu, his momentum is not inferior to his. His name is Shi Yi. This person not only has excellent qualifications, but also has a deep background. He is the grandson of a department of Qingfeng Hall.

The one who stood next to Qin Ruyan and showed his courtesy from time to time, which made Deng Changting glare at him but the other party could do nothing, is called Kou Yuchang, and there are also foundation-building cultivators in his family. Although he can't walk when he sees a woman, his strength should not be underestimated, and he is not much worse than the previous two.

Surrounded by everyone in the crowd, the one who was about the same age as Qingyang and whose cultivation level was also at the fourth level of Qi Refining was called Ouyang Jing. He was the direct descendant of a certain Jindan elder of the sect and had a powerful backer, otherwise he would not have come to participate in the Chaos Demon Valley Trial at such an age and with such a high level of cultivation.

The one standing behind Ouyang Jing had an aura even stronger than Tu Honghu, Shi Yi and others. His name was Yang Muxin. This person had good aptitude and practiced very hard, but for some reason he encountered a bottleneck in his practice and was stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for nearly ten years without any breakthrough. He is now over fifty years old.

At his age, his potential has been almost used up. If he cannot break through to the late stage of Qi Refining before the age of fifty, the possibility of building a foundation in this life is not great, and the sect will no longer waste resources for them. It is not suitable for them to continue to stay in the outer courtyard. Most people will find a suitable job, or devote themselves to cultivating their offspring, or spend the rest of their lives alone.

However, this time the Chaos Demon Valley trial is an opportunity for him. Yang Muxin still wants to fight for the last time, so he finds a way to get a demon hunting order and prepares to go to Chaos Demon Valley to find opportunities. If it still doesn't work this time, then there is no hope in this life.

Strictly speaking, Qingyang's friend Tian Shengcai is only four or five years younger than Yang Muxin, but his cultivation is much worse than Yang Muxin. So far, he has only the third level of Qi Refining. Yang Muxin still has a chance to fight, but Tian Shengcai basically has no hope in this life. At most, in a few years, he should leave the outer courtyard to make a living.

Although there is no clear regulation, there are some naturally formed unwritten age restrictions between the courtyards of Qingfeng Hall. Because the Servants' Court did not have any benefits, there were no special age requirements, and there was no requirement to leave at a certain age. However, the age of joining the Servants' Court could not be over 40, which was also the restriction when Qingyang and his friends joined the Immortal Sect.
