Chapter 76: Promoted to Outer Disciple

  "Qin Yong." Qin Yong said his name.

  At this time, the two duty elders finally reacted and looked at Qin Yong with a surprised face.

  "You're Qin Yong!" The elder who spoke first raised an eyebrow, and it wasn't until he was about to take down the name that he listened more seriously to Qin Yong's words, only then realizing that the person in front of him was indeed the recently famous Qin Yong from the outer sect.

  "To be valued by Liu Yan is indeed a testament to one's abilities." Another elder on duty also nodded in agreement.

  The two of them were outer gate elders, and they didn't need to be too polite when addressing Liu Yan, but nor did they dare show any disrespect. Although they had reached middle age and their cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Xuanwu realm, their actual strength was still somewhat higher. However, facing a genius like Liu Yan, they were still far inferior, and even if they actually fought, the possibility of defeat would be greater than victory. Outer gate elders were merely former inner gate disciples who had failed and stayed in the sect instead of returning to their families, and this didn't necessarily mean that their status was very high. To occupy a certain position within the sect, one had to be at least an inner gate elder, like Zhou Bo's family. Outer gate elders often felt somewhat inferior when facing inner gate disciples, let alone others.

  "Alright, the name is engraved, this is your outer gate token, take it." The elder who spoke first handed over the token to Qin Yong after engraving the name, saying: "The miscellaneous work token is just for fooling people, but the outer gate token is your pass to enter the Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion, and it's also a certificate for level tasks and receiving consumption contribution points, don't be careless."

  "As soon as you become an outer disciple, you will have 3,000 contribution points, which can be exchanged for cultivation resources and techniques. This benefit is only available now that you have become an outer disciple, and in the future, you can only obtain 100 contribution points from the sect every month. If you want to get more, you can only go to the task hall. These 3,000 contribution points are very important, and you must make good use of them, especially to exchange for a cultivation technique. The 'Practicing Qi' technique has already fallen behind at the outer disciple level." Another elder on duty also reminded him.

  "Thank you for your guidance, venerable elders." Qin Yong immediately cupped his hands in gratitude.

  The duty elder originally didn't need to say so much, the reason why he specially instructed and reminded was actually because of Liu Yan's sake. Otherwise, a person who had just become an outer door disciple, the duty elder wouldn't even bother to remember his name, let alone give him advice.

  "Alright, if you go to the Scripture Pavilion now, there is still some time for you to choose your skills and martial techniques. However, it's best not to rush into things at once, take a few more days to think about it, and choose what suits yourself the most."

  The two duty elders nodded and indicated that Qin Yong could go down. They said that it was already rare to get this far, and as for more hints, the two duty elders didn't have any thoughts about it either. Previously, they had said so much because of Liu Yan's sake, but Qin Yong was Qin Yong, and Liu Yan was Liu Yan. Even if rumors were circulating outside that Qin Yong was helping Liu Yan, and Liu Yan valued Qin Yong, it was just a rumor after all.

  Qin Yong thanked him again and left the Outer Gate Elder Hall, then followed the direction to head towards the Scripture Storage Pavilion. The Outer Gate Elder Hall was unfamiliar to Qin Yong, so he had invited someone to guide him, but the Scripture Storage Pavilion was different, it was the central hub of the entire Yunhai Sect, not located in the outer gate area, but rather in the inner gate region.

  This scripture pavilion is actually a place to store secret books of Gongfa and Wugong, the contribution points of inner and outer door disciples are almost spent here and in the Treasure Pavilion. As for the core disciples, their Gongfa and Wugong are no longer obtained here, but in the true foundation of Yunhai Sect, Qin Yong is not qualified to know these things yet.

  It was said to be the inner gate area, but in fact it was just at the entrance of the inner gate area. Qin Yong quickly arrived at the place. From a distance, Qin Yong saw the Scripture Pavilion, and with each step he took, his emotions became more agitated. In the end, he stood still for a moment to adjust his mood before entering the Scripture Pavilion.

  The Scripture Pavilion has a total of seven floors, where the first three floors are the place for outer door disciples to choose their skills and martial arts, and the top four floors are the place for inner door disciples to choose their skills and martial arts. At the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, Qin Yong saw an old man who was dozing off, seemingly just an ordinary sleepy old man. However, Qin Yong did not dare to show any disrespect or laziness, as this old man was the guardian of the Scripture Pavilion, a high-ranking elder among the inner door elders with extremely strong abilities. At this moment, he seemed to be asleep, but if there were any irregular movements, he would immediately detect them.

  Qin Yong had already learned some information about this old man from Liu Yan, whose name was unclear, and everyone only called him the attic elder. His cultivation was above the Tianwu realm, making him a true strongman. He wasn't difficult to get along with, mainly because he was always sleeping, and wouldn't bother with disciples who entered the scripture storage building. However, if someone broke the rules of the scripture storage building, they would be severely punished by the attic elder, sometimes even being killed directly, but Yunhai Sect had never investigated anything.

  Everyone understands that no matter how arrogant they are inside and outside the door, they must behave themselves when they arrive at the Scripture Pavilion. Some people have thoughts about the powerful pavilion elder and think of ways to flatter them, but the pavilion elder is completely indifferent. After a long time, those people also give up on this idea.

  At this time, Qin Yong saw the elder of the pavilion, although he saw him dozing off and didn't see his appearance at all. Qin Yong still took out the outer sect token and slightly bowed to the dozing pavilion elder: "Outer sect disciple Qin Yong, this time I have come to enter the Scripture Storage Pavilion to choose a technique or martial skill."

  After finishing, Qin Yong waited for a moment and saw that the old man in the pavilion still had no reaction. Qin Yong was not disappointed, but instead bowed slightly to the old man and said: "Thank you, Pavilion Elder, I'll go in now."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yong stepped into the Scripture Storage Pavilion. This action also fell into the eyes of the inner and outer door disciples, who shook their heads and whispered to each other in disapproval. At this moment, they all knew that from the beginning, there was a formation array on the identity token of the outer door disciples, which allowed them to enter the Scripture Storage Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion. If not, they would not have been able to enter at all. Therefore, whether or not to greet the pavilion elder was unimportant, especially when everyone discovered that regardless of whether they greeted him or not, the pavilion elder did not react, and over time, no one did it anymore. Now, seeing Qin Yong's behavior, everyone suddenly started mocking him in secret, without realizing that they had done the same thing when they first arrived here.

  Qin Yong also roughly knew the situation, but didn't mind. Just now, Qin Yong clearly felt that the old man on the attic seemed to be sleeping yet not sleeping, with a kind of mysterious subtlety that blended into the universe. Qin Yong had a feeling that the old man on the attic was watching them, no matter what, as long as he did what he should do, he wouldn't go wrong.

  At this time, entering the Scripture Pavilion, Qin Yong did not head towards the stairs. The second floor of the Scripture Pavilion corresponded to the Xuanwu Realm outer disciples, and now Qin Yong was only at the Qi Wu Realm, only having the qualification to choose from the first floor. Qin Yong wasn't disappointed about this either. While martial techniques were definitely better on higher floors, cultivation methods weren't necessarily so. And as for martial techniques, Qin Yong didn't urgently need them right now; the purpose of this trip was actually to cultivate his inner energy method.
