Chapter 471: Advancement to the Inner Court

After a transaction, everyone got what they wanted, so they said goodbye and left. Qingyang also returned to his tent in the Qingfeng Palace, where he sat cross-legged until dawn.

The next morning, Elder Wusi and four foundation-building monks from the Qingfeng Palace came to the residence together and notified everyone to pack up. After a while, Elder Wusi would take everyone back to the Qingfeng Palace.

One day and two nights passed, and those trial disciples who needed to break through had already done so. Their breakthroughs were all natural, and they only needed the final push, so they all broke through in just one day, with almost no time wasted.

Half an hour later, everyone had packed up, and Elder Wusi released the spiritual weapon, the Swift Wind Shuttle, and flew towards the Qingfeng Palace with five foundation-building monks and a group of trial disciples.

There were eighty people when they came, but only seventy-one were left when they returned. Nine trial disciples were lost, and two or three of the remaining disciples were even injured. However, everyone was in high spirits. First, they were proud of the great victory of Qingfeng Hall this time. Second, almost everyone's strength had greatly improved, and one year was equivalent to several years.

Another more important reason was the harvest of this trial. On average, everyone got nearly three hundred spirit stones. Although it was not comparable to Qingyang, it was much more generous than before. Some trial disciples even owed a lot of foreign debts before coming. Even if the part handed over to the sect was deducted, the remaining amount was equivalent to their income in the past ten years. If they followed the routine in the sect, how long would it take to save so many spirit stones?

The return speed was faster than the arrival. At dusk on the second day, the Swift Wind Shuttle finally took everyone back to Qingfeng Hall. Perhaps they had received the news in advance. Qingfeng Hall actually opened its immortal gate. The deputy head of the sect, Qingjing Sanren, personally led the main figures of the various courtyards of Qingfeng Hall to stand outside the mountain gate to welcome them.

After a round of greetings, Qingjing Sanren praised and encouraged everyone, especially Qingyang, the biggest contributor. He was very proud of his ability to judge people. If he hadn't given Qingyang the Demon Seeking Order, how could he have such a harvest?

The reward method announced by Elder Wusi before was naturally recognized. Qingjing Sanren didn't hesitate at all and cashed all the rewards on the spot. Qingyang and others were directly promoted to the inner courtyard.

Qingyang was not used to this lively scene. Finally, when the welcome party was over, Qingyang returned to the outer courtyard with other trial disciples here. Now Qingyang is also a disciple of the inner courtyard, but he didn't rush to move there, but went to see his old friend first.

After a year, Lu Dingshan's cultivation has been improved to the fourth level of Qi Refining. Because he gave the Demon Seeking Order to Chen Biwang, he got 300 spirit stones, which is a lot of wealth for Qi Refining cultivators. Now he has no shortage of elixirs in cultivation, and his strength is improving rapidly.

However, this speed is too slow compared to Qingyang. When they first met in Yuling City, Qingyang's cultivation was several levels lower than his. As a result, after a few years, Qingyang not only surpassed him in cultivation, but even advanced to the inner courtyard earlier. Thinking about it makes people envious.

Lu Dingshan is a straightforward person. As Qingyang's friend, he is only happy and blessed. He will regard Qingyang as his goal to catch up, but he will not be jealous of it.

Chen Biwang's cultivation broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining in Chaos Demon Valley. His performance in this trial was very average. He ranked after the 50th place, and he did not have the quota for early promotion to the inner courtyard. However, the sixth level of Qi Refining is not far from the late stage of Qi Refining. It is not very difficult for him to be promoted to the inner courtyard. It is estimated that it will not take much time for Qingyang to see him in the inner courtyard.

Tian Shengcai's cultivation is still at the third level of Qi Refining. Perhaps because of his old age and lack of potential, the speed of cultivation improvement has been very slow in recent years. It is estimated that Tian Shengcai himself has given up. He is now fifty years old, and his remaining life span is less than half. Even if he continues to practice, he will not be able to break through the foundation building stage in this life. It is estimated that it will not take long for them to find a way out.

As for Muleng and Sang Qinglan, they are still struggling in the chores courtyard. Qingyang did not disturb them. Now the gap between Qingyang and them is getting bigger and bigger. If he went, he would not only have nothing to say, but it would easily cause them to be sad, which is not a good thing for both sides.

After visiting several friends, Qingyang returned to his residence in the outer courtyard, packed up the things inside, and then packed them and carried them to the inner courtyard. Even the half-grown spiritual herbs planted in the spiritual field in the courtyard were dug out with roots and mud, ready to be transplanted to the new residence.

The inner courtyard is at the foot of the main peak of Qingfeng Palace, a long distance away from the outer courtyard. After several hours, Qingyang came to the outer periphery of the inner courtyard. This is a relatively important position in Qingfeng Palace, and the management is relatively strict. As soon as he entered this area, a disciple came forward to intercept him.

The entire Qingfeng Palace had heard about the trial in Chaos Demon Valley, and also knew that some of the trial disciples were directly promoted to the inner courtyard. Qingyang reported his name, and the inner courtyard disciple who intercepted him immediately changed his attitude and personally took Qingyang to the inner courtyard to handle the formalities.

The environment of the inner courtyard is much better than that of the outer courtyard. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is picturesque. Even the spiritual energy seems to be richer than other places. Huge courtyards are hidden behind towering ancient trees, beside strange peaks and rocks, and beside rivers, lakes and streams, adding a bit of tranquility to people's mood.

The inner courtyard disciple first brought Qingyang to the inner courtyard's office hall and found Uncle Du, who was in charge of daily management of the inner courtyard, to go through the formalities. There is a fixed process for this kind of thing. Uncle Du first registered Qingyang and issued an identity token and inner courtyard disciple uniforms.

Then Qingyang introduced the treatment and management details of the inner courtyard, allocated the control symbol of the residence and the benefits of becoming an inner courtyard disciple in the first year, twelve spirit stones, and six better quality Qi Gathering Pills.

The outer courtyard disciples only had four spirit stones per year, but when they came to the inner courtyard disciples, they directly doubled, twelve per year, which was a generous treatment. The number of Qi Gathering Pills also increased by two. Although the increase in number was not too much, the quality was much better than before.

With the improvement of strength and drug resistance, the medicinal power of Qi Gathering Pills became less and less obvious. In the early stage of Qi training, dozens of Qi Gathering Pills may be enough to improve one level of cultivation. In the middle stage of Qi training, hundreds or even more are needed. In the late stage of Qi training, more are needed. For each level of cultivation, hundreds of Qi Gathering Pills may not be enough.

A better quality Qi Gathering Pill can make up for this shortcoming. Sometimes the effect of a high-quality Qi Gathering Pill is one and a half to two times that of an ordinary Qi Gathering Pill. Therefore, for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, high-quality Qi Gathering Pills are a particularly sought-after item.
