Ye Ming asked: "What is the potential list?"
Huang Xiaowu became more energetic and said: "Senior Brother Ye, our Tiangang Sect has several lists, which are actually annual strength rankings. The rankings of outer disciples are called potential, and the rewards for the top ten are simply terrifying. The rankings for the top ten disciples are simply terrifying. One person is worth one billion Tiangang coins."
"That's the Tiangang coin, the currency of the Tiangang continent. One Tiangang coin can be exchanged for a hundred amethyst coins," Huang Xiaowu said excitedly, "That's a lot of money."
"What's on the list above?" Ye Ming asked.
"The ranking of inner disciples is called the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Because the top rankings are occupied by direct disciples. Of course, the rewards are also high. The first place can get 10 billion Tiangang coins."
"It's even more powerful at the top. The direct disciples are called the Life and Death List. Because they are all disciples of the elders, the elders often use this to understand their grudges, so the mortality rate is very high. But the rewards are naturally higher. The top ones are the True Succession List and the Elite List. The rewards are too high to be described.”
Speaking of this, Huang Xiaowu lowered his voice and said: "Senior brother, among the elders of our Tiangang Sect, we also have superiority and inferiority. The elders of the outer sect, the elders of the inner sect, the discussion elders of the lower house, the discussion elders of the upper house, the authority elders, and the cardinal elders , one level has more power than the first level. Senior brother is a genius, and soon an elder will come to visit, hoping to recruit you as a disciple."
"When the time comes, senior brother must be calm and don't agree easily. No matter how good the other party's offer is, as long as he is not the deliberating elder, he will not agree."
Ye Ming laughed and asked: "How many elders are there?"
Huang Xiaowu: "Among the deliberative elders, there are a fixed number of 800 elders in the lower dean and a fixed number of 150 in the upper dean. There are even fewer at the top. There are 25 authoritative elders, five of whom are also Cardinal Elder. By the way, the leader himself is called the Cardinal Elder, and one person has the authority of two cardinal elders."
Ye Ming nodded: "It seems that only the authoritative elders and cardinal elders are the real core of Tiangang Sect. So, do the authoritative elders accept disciples?"
Huang Xiaowu said: "The authoritative elders generally do not accept disciples. However, under the authoritative elders, there are usually some elders from the upper and lower houses who are their people. So if a certain council elder accepts you as a direct disciple, you are equivalent to belonging to a certain group. Under the command of an authoritative elder. If you have good qualifications and perform well, you may even be accepted as a disciple by the authoritative elder at some point."
Ye Ming nodded. He needed to explain these things to Yu Lingjiao and the others, so as not to become a disciple casually.
Sure enough, just as Huang Xiaowu said, the next day, an inner disciple came and handed a letter to Ye Ming.
The general content is that the person who sent the letter is an inner sect elder who has a high prestige in the sect, and he is a Taoist monk. In short, he wants to accept Ye Ming as his disciple.
Ye Ming replied with a letter and said that he still wanted to think about it.
Then one after another, Ye Ming received dozens of letters, including inner sect elders, outer sect elders, and even two discussion elders.
Ye Ming is not critical, he always says to consider it. During this period, he asked everyone to practice with peace of mind and wait for the final ranking results.
During this period, Ye Ming continued to practice the third level of Taiyi Cave Spiritual Art to predict the enemy's opportunity. The first and second levels are respectively to recite the Dharma and the Dharma in front of the recitation.
The third level was too difficult. Ye Ming had previously decided to use the seven-element array to integrate it into the magic, and use the calculation array to anticipate the enemy's opportunities. But this move is difficult.
For more than a month, he kept trying and making improvements. It was only recently that he made some progress and used his magic power to create a seven-yuan calculation array.
Now, Ye Ming just needs to stand there without thinking if an enemy attacks. Before the enemy takes action, the Seven-Yuan Calculation Formation will make a judgment and automatically use mana to make the best judgment.
Of course, the Seven-Yuan Arithmetic Array will collect a large amount of actual combat data in the future, so that it can truly predict the enemy's opportunities. Now, it is not very naive, and it is still early to reach perfection.
But this does not prevent Ye Ming from practicing the third level of the Dharma King Realm, the Pure Dharma Realm.
There are four levels in Dharma King Realm, namely refining method, spiritual method, pure method, and fusion method. Generally speaking, people only reach the second level of cultivation before they hit the realm of gods and humans. Almost no one dares to touch the pure method and the fusion method. Even if they do, they still can't do it, and they have to give up in the end.
Even for the second-level spiritual method and the first-level refining method, most people can only do the method before reciting it and preliminary refining the method. They are unable to achieve Ye Ming's ability to predict the enemy's opportunity and use the Taiyi Melting Technique. Refined to the seventh level, the mana can be summoned to a state without impurities.
Ye Ming laid a solid foundation, which will naturally be of great help to his subsequent practice. For example, this Pure Technique, because his original Taiyi Melting Technique reached the seventh level of perfection, he was able to get twice the result with half the effort.
The practice of pure Dharma lies in making the Dharma power pure, making the physical body cease to exist, and possessing a true Dharma body.
Of course, this step of practice is much more difficult than the second level of spiritual practice. Ye Ming does not expect to complete it in three to five months. He is ready to chew hard bones.
More than a month has passed and the results are finally out. On the day when the list was announced, Ye Ming had no one to show up, he went alone.
The list is very large, placed directly on a huge stone tablet, and can be seen clearly from miles away.
Ye Ming took a look and saw that he was not the first person on the list, and he was not even in the top three. The first place was a guy named Su Lie, with a terrifying score of 750 points.
The second person's name is Shifa Dao, with 739 points; the third person's name is Yuan Jigu, with 705 points.
And Ye Ming ranked fourth, with a score of 700 points. If he had challenged the God Lord's puppet in actual combat, it would have been no problem to squeeze into the top three, and even first place wouldn't have been difficult. However, he restrained himself at that time and hid his strength.
The list came out, and countless elders rushed to the residence of the top 100 people. Of course, most elders would not even dare to think about the top ten.
For example, Ye Ming, after the list came out, no one sent him letters anymore. Because at his level, only the council elders are qualified to accept him as a disciple, and even the inner sect elders dare not come to recruit him.
On the list, Yu Lingjiao and the others are basically in the top 100, some are in the dozens, some are more than 100, and a few are more than 200.
Now Ye Ming knows that before, a group of geniuses were taken to the pillared hall to be tested. That was only a part of the test. I am afraid it was not even a tenth at that time. Presumably several batches of geniuses were brought there for testing.
No matter what, the top 200 results are already remarkable. After all, this time only more than 1,800 people became outer disciples. There were more servant disciples, numbering 180,000 or 90,000.
After Ye Ming returned to his residence, he gathered everyone together. Ye Ming's suggestion is that the last step is to be the elder of the school. After all, there are only so many in the first two hundred, and even the dean of the lower house won’t be able to divide them enough. Ranking within a hundred, the last is the elder of the school dean.
Huang Xiaowu said that the powerful elders usually compete for the top ten disciples.
Everyone went back to their respective places, waiting for news.
In the past three days, no letter has been sent. On the fourth day, an elder came. However, this elder was not there to accept him as his disciple, but to spread the message on his behalf.
It turned out that one of the powerful elders named Leng Yunfeng hoped to accept Ye Ming as his direct disciple.
Ye Mingxin said that there were only twenty-five authoritative elders, and they were proper high-level people, so he agreed at that time. Afterwards, he followed the elder to the residence of Elder Leng Yunfeng.
The place where the authoritative elders live is the location with the best scenery and the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Tiangang Continent.
The elder took Ye Ming and flew thousands of miles before entering a mountainous area with beautiful scenery, where a large river passed through the canyon.
Who would have thought that after entering the mountainous area, they flew another three thousand miles before entering a fairyland-like area. The elder told him that the big river was the dividing line between the elder Leng Yunfeng's residence. The place where this authoritative elder lives is his private property with a radius of eight thousand miles.
Ye Ming was secretly speechless, thinking that it would be good to have power.
Finally, we landed on a high peak. There was only a simple stone house on the peak, and the surrounding area was deserted, like a place of cultivation.
The elder landed in front of the stone house and said, "Mr. Leng, we've brought him here."
"Go back." A cold voice came from the stone house.
The elder bowed, turned around and left.
"Come in." The other party said.
Ye Ming walked into the stone house. There was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged inside. He was wearing a blue robe and his hair was hanging down. He was very simple. His voice was cold, but his appearance was friendly. It was obvious that he was young and an extremely handsome man.
"You are Ye Ming, you got fourth place, which is very good." He said.
"I've met the elder." Ye Ming saluted.
"My name is Leng Yunfeng, one of the twenty-five authoritative elders, and I intend to accept you as my disciple. If you are willing to come, it seems that you have agreed." He said.
Ye Ming: "Yes, the disciple is willing to worship you as his teacher."
"Have any other elders approached you before this?" he asked.
Ye Ming: "There was it before the ranking, but not after the ranking."
Leng Yunfeng smiled: "I fought with others to get the qualification to accept you as my disciple. Alas, the top three are all gone by a few cardinals."
Ye Ming couldn't help but be curious: "Elder..."
"Call me Master from now on."
"Master." Ye Ming changed his words, but was secretly alarmed in his heart. The other party ordered him to call him master. This is the rhythm of a disciple who enters the house.
He continued to ask: "We recruit new disciples every ten years. Do the cardinals and elders accept the top few as disciples for the first time? In this case, wouldn't it mean that we will accept a large number of disciples in hundreds of years?"
Leng Yunfeng laughed "haha": "In our Tiangang Sect, 700 points is a threshold. If it does not exceed 700 points, the cardinals and elders will not accept disciples. This year is good, there are three students with more than 700 points. And you, no more, no less, exactly seven hundred. If you have one more point, you won’t have my share and will be snatched away by the cardinals.”
"But, Cardinal, I'm lucky to have snatched you. Others can only ask for less than 700 points."
Ye Ming scratched his head and thought, "One point difference, does it make a difference?"
