The seven elders were suspended in the air, looking at the 3,821 new people with kindness in their eyes.
In front of them were piles of small boxes, which were the benefits for the 3,821 people today.
The elder who was teaching skills stretched out his hand, and a small rosewood box floated beside him. He pointed his finger, and with a creaking sound, the small box opened.
A three-foot-three-meter-long sword flew into his hand.
Everyone stared at the elder, staring at the ancient and mysterious scabbard, and saw the elder smiled slightly: "This is a yellow-grade top-grade sword made by our Dan Ding Divine Sect for our disciples. It is made by melting the essence of a hundred golds and using our Dan Ding Divine Sect's unique secret technique. This sword can be regarded as the best among yellow-grade weapons."
After saying this, the elder drew out his precious sword with a clang. With a sound of gold and jade, a rainbow of seven colors lit up the entire wide courtyard. This brilliance made everyone's eyes shine brightly.
"This kind of sword can easily pierce the Xuanjiang battle robe and can restrain ghosts and gods. It is a sharp weapon for self-defense."
Everyone understood that this sword was a priceless treasure in the country, a priceless treasure that could be passed down to future generations.
As he spoke, the elder held up a green robe and said, "This is the clothing for our Dan Ding Divine Sect's outer disciples. It is made of Tian Ding Mountain silver silkworms and 108 other kinds of demon beast silk threads. When worn, it protects against cold and heat, all kinds of poisons, and all kinds of diseases. It has the same defensive power as a four-star Xuan Jiang battle robe."
After hearing the introduction of these two treasures, almost everyone's eyes widened. No wonder it was so difficult to enter the Danding Divine Sect. Just think about how countless resources are needed to create these things.
There are thirty-six empires and one hundred and eight kingdoms. Even for kings, it is a luxury for them to have a piece of clothing like this.
"There are also six Danding Juxuan Pills and one Danding Qingling Pill in here. This is your one-month supply of pills."
Hearing this, the eyes of the disciples of Daxing Kingdom sparkled even more: "Do you know that our country's famous prince has such a Danding Qingling Pill at home? If anyone is sick, just let him smell it and the pain will be cured. It is the most precious treasure of the famous prince."
"I didn't expect that I would only get one month's supply of pills here. The Danding Divine Sect is really generous."
"Yes, no wonder those disciples in the country are reluctant to go back after coming to Danding Divine Sect. Think about how rich the profound energy is here, think about how long one can live by practicing here, think about how the sect is a blessed place, who would be willing to leave here?"
"One hundred thousand outer disciples, we have to stand out among these one hundred thousand people."
All the disciples were very excited. The benefits they received today were priceless treasures in the empire below. To be honest, even a large state or county would not be as valuable as the things that were casually distributed today.
After everyone's excitement had subsided, the elder who was teaching the skills said that they would take their benefits back in a while, get their own key, and drip blood to acknowledge the cave as their master, and the cave would be theirs.
Everyone happily took their belongings, dripped blood on the key to recognize its ownership, and followed the key to find their own cave.
In addition to these benefits, the top 100 will also receive enviable rewards. This is the sect’s teaching to its disciples. Here, if you have a high status, your resources will be richer than others.
When it came to Ye Xiangyang, the elder who was teaching him skills was all smiles. This kid was truly a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years. You should know that most of the people taking the test were seventeen or eighteen years old. How old is Ye Xiangyang now? At most he has just turned sixteen.
The difference of two years in age makes a world of difference. This kid’s talents shocked the seven of them.
A command arrow was passed over, asking the outer disciple who followed him to go and claim his own prize: one of the eight great martial arts of the Danding Divine Sect, and the most top-notch treasure in the outer courtyard.
Not to mention the outer court disciples, even the inner court disciples would be jealous of this kind of reward. You have to know that these eight martial arts are all earth-level martial arts, and practicing them can increase one's training speed.
Originally, only core disciples could practice this, but now a small outer disciple, and a new outer disciple at that, has this unique opportunity.
Ye Xiangyang followed the disciple who led the way through corridors and pavilions, passed rockery, climbed wooden bridges, and passed more than a dozen moon gates. They came to a tall three-story building. On the building there was a large plaque more than ten feet long with three words written on it: Sutra Repository.
Needless to say, this is where the outer courtyard of Danding Divine Sect collects precious martial arts.
The disciple from the outer courtyard gave some instructions and let Ye Xiangyang go in by himself.
Ye Xiangyang walked ten feet away from the Sutra Repository. Buzz, an incomparably huge force of heaven and earth condensed into a large formation, completely protecting the Sutra Repository.
The formation formed a lock in front of Ye Xiangyang. Ye Xiangyang understood that this was a request for him to pass the command arrow up. Ye Xiangyang inserted the command arrow into the lock of the formation. Buzz, the golden formation churned, and after a few breaths, it became a small door.
Ye Xiangyang entered the Sutra Repository through this small door.
This is the top floor of the Sutra Library, where eight jade tablets are suspended. They are the size of a palm and sparkle with crystal clear white light.
The Mighty Flame Slash, the Wind-Controlling God-Shocking Art, the Eternal Thick Earth Fist, the Ten Thousand Trees Living Spirit Seal, the Thousand Water Waves Palm, the Sun-Rising Golden Sword Art, the Ice-Slaying Immortal Art, and the Thousand Thunders-Breaking Demon Seal; these are the eight great martial arts of the Danding Divine Sect. The Danding Divine Sect relies on these eight great martial arts to maintain its reputation and prestige in the Xuanwu Continent for thousands of years.
Ye Xiangyang's choice was simple: he didn't need to consider Thousand Thunders Breaking Demon Seal, Ice Killing Immortal Art, Sun Golden Sword Art, Mighty Spirit Flame Slash, and Controlling Wind to Shock the Gods Art. He didn't have such spiritual roots, so it was almost impossible for him to practice them well.
There are only three left: Eternal Thick Earth Fist, Thousand Water Waves Palm, and Ten Thousand Trees Living Spirits Seal.
Ye Xiangyang was thinking about which of these three options to choose.
Heaven, earth, and man, besides heaven, there is earth. Only with the vastness of the earth can the earth support all living things. In addition, there are thousands of miles of spiritual soil on the earth, and the earth element is inexhaustible.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Changsheng Thick Earth Fist.
The jade token was grabbed in his hand and turned into millions of light spots, which started from his right hand and came to his mind. The Eternal Thick Earth Fist actually squeezed out the other martial arts techniques in his brain, and revolved around the Xuanshen Tiangong and Wushen Tiangong, flashing with brilliant light.
The rest of the jade tokens dimmed and disappeared.
It turns out that these jade plaques are energy changes, yet they are so lifelike.
Ye Xiangyang was wrapped in energy, and when he opened his eyes, he was outside the formation.
The outer disciples who led him were full of admiration, thinking that this kid was really blessed to be able to obtain one of the eight great martial arts as soon as he arrived at the sect. This was the most generous reward in the past few hundred years.
He smiled and said to Ye Xiangyang: "Congratulations, Junior Brother. Congratulations, Junior Brother. Did you succeed?"
Ye Xiangyang smiled slightly, took out the three jade bottles of Qingxin Pills he had refined, and handed them to the senior brother: "Senior brother, I know you are not short of pills. This is the upper-middle-grade Qingxin Pill of the yellow rank that I refined during the assessment a few days ago. I will present it to you."
When this man heard this, his hands trembled. He had heard that the three Qingxin Pills refined by Ye Xiangyang almost reached the advanced yellow level, but this guy just gave them to him.
Currently, among the outer disciples of Danding Divine Sect, there are no more than three thousand who can refine middle-grade yellow-grade medicines, and no more than three hundred who can refine high-grade yellow-grade medicines.
Wealth, elixirs, and Dharma companions are the eternal themes in the martial arts world. These three elixirs are definitely a treat for an adult.
As he pushed it out, he said, "Junior brother, this, this, this is so embarrassing."
Ye Xiangyang handed it to him readily: "There will be many things that I will need you to take care of in the future, this is nothing."
The senior brother nodded excitedly: "Junior brother, let me tell you, when new people come, they generally have to join a faction of outer disciples. If they take the initiative to join, they will contribute less resources. If they are forced to join the faction by them, I am afraid that the resources will be taken away and there will be very few left."
Ye Xiangyang's eyes lit up: "Oh, the sect has such rules, does that mean the sect doesn't care?"
"The sect is also a martial arts world. Just think about it. Among the 100,000 outer disciples, there are only 5,000 inner disciples, 300 core disciples, and more than 20 saint sons and saint daughters. Which one of them is not a genius from various countries? When a genius comes here, he has to grow on his own. If you don't have the ability, you will only be bullied by others."
Ye Xiangyang nodded. This senior brother is right. If so many martial artists say that there is no mutual oppression and restraint, no one will believe it. The fight between disciples is a competition. You can resolve the grudges. It is like raising a Gu. The strongest one left is the Saint Son of the sect.
Ye Xiangyang understood in an instant that the cruelty of the Danding Divine Sect was even stronger than that of the countries. No wonder few disciples who came to the Danding Divine Sect returned. Others made progress, and if you did not, you would be left behind. A little difference would change the world.
He bowed to the outer disciple and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
The outer disciple quickly returned the greeting: "Brother, the largest force in our sect is called the Tiandihui, which was formed by our First Saint Son, implying the control of heaven and earth; the second largest force is called the Shenlonghui, and the third largest force is called the Baihuhui. These three forces are equally matched..."
Through his explanation, Ye Xiangyang gradually understood the complex relationships among the various disciples of the Danding Divine Sect. It could even be said that one move could affect the entire body, and various forces were deeply rooted.
Arriving at the treasure trove, Ye Xiangyang was led to the third floor. The higher the floor, the more precious the treasures.
This floor contains twelve mysterious pills, three weapons, various minerals, and some strange things.
Here Ye Xiangyang actually discovered the four great evils he had heard about in the Jiuzhou Empire: the Thousand-Year-Old Green Blood, the Black Magic Mirror, the Gold and Iron Furnace, plus the Nine-headed Snake that his own Xuanwu swallowed.
Others may not dare to take these things, so why should I not dare to take them? These things are prepared for me.
Thinking of this, he reached out his hand towards the Millennium Green Blood.
