PDLP Chapter 29 The Change at the Peak of Fire
Chapter 29 The Change at the Peak of Fire
Lin Yuan originally planned to cultivate his fifth spirit rune before going to see his teacher, Zheng Wenyan.
But plans are no match for changes.
The next day, his identity token received a message from the sect.
All disciples of Xinhuo Peak who have embarked on cultivation must go to the Dao Asking Academy, as the sect has an important matter to announce.
This is something we absolutely cannot miss.
Lin Yuan was quite helpless.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter if we get caught." After a year of living together, Lin Yuan had developed a certain level of trust in the Sword Sect.
The next morning.
Lin Yuan, Lin Chao, and Wang Qiudao walked out of the room at almost the same time.
Eight or nine months ago, Wang Qiudao completed the basic course and came to Zheng Wenyan's seat to listen to his lectures.
He has changed a lot in the past year, becoming much more confident.
"Good morning, Brother Lin Chao and Brother Lin Yuan," Wang Qiudao greeted them.
"Good morning, Brother Wang." After Lin Yuanxiu released his spiritual runes, he became even more perceptive. Previously, he had occasionally felt that Wang Qiudao's gaze towards him was complex, containing both envy and deeply hidden jealousy.
Now I'm not emotional anymore, it's like looking at a stranger.
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Lin Yuan naturally had to respond.
Lin Chao also said, "Good morning, Brother Wang. Let's go to the Daoist Academy together!"
His relationship with Wang Qiudao was getting better and better.
The two often exchanged ideas about supernatural abilities.
Of course, in most cases it was Wang Qiudao who took the initiative to request it.
Lin Chao did not refuse.
The three of them went to the Daoist Academy together.
The three of them talked the whole way.
"I wonder why the sect has summoned all of us at once?" Lin Chao was very curious, as he had no idea why.
This happened very suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiudao said as if it were unintentional: "I guess it might be related to cultivation resources. The sect recruits us to join in order to compete for future fortune."
"While we have a considerable amount of resources now, they are ultimately just ordinary resources. Clearly, they are insufficient to compete for destiny. Naturally, we need to increase our cultivation resources, but I don't know how to do so!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan glanced at Wang Qiudao, somewhat surprised.
This analysis is quite logical and reasonable; it doesn't seem like speculation at all, but rather like knowing some inside information.
He thought for a moment and decided to pay more attention to Wang Qiudao, but still said, "We'll know when we get there!"
Not long after, the three entered the Dao Seeking Academy.
At this time, the Dao Asking Academy was arguably the most bustling place since the sect's founding.
All the disciples who embarked on their spiritual practice came.
Zheng Wenyan, as the teacher, had already arrived.
Lin Yuan and the other two found a futon and sat down.
This time, the prayer cushions inside the palace were almost full.
Soon it was time for regular classes.
Zheng Wenyan glanced at the many disciples, and after confirming that everyone was present, nodded and got straight to the point: "I suppose you are all curious as to why the sect has suddenly summoned us?"
Many disciples nodded subconsciously.
"It's good news." Zheng Wenyan didn't keep them in suspense. "The sect has decided to increase its resource investment in Xinhuo Peak, and not just a little bit, but two to three times as much as before. The most outstanding disciples will receive about five times the original basic resources."
boom!
Immediately, all the disciples were in an uproar.
It should be noted that the Sword Sect has extremely abundant basic resources. At the Flame Peak, as long as you perform well enough, you will not lack cultivation resources for three years.
As a result, resources can be increased several times over, which is truly astonishing.
Lin Yuan glanced at Wang Qiudao with a meaningful look in his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Wang Qiudao was completely unaware of what was happening and was exchanging words with Lin Chao.
"Teacher, how are these resources distributed? Are they added directly to the basic resources?" a disciple immediately asked.
Zheng Wenyan shook his head and said, "These resources are not related to basic resources, nor are they rewards for completing assignments. They will be separate and distributed independently, which is why I have summoned you here today."
However, these words did not dampen the enthusiasm of many disciples.
Regardless of how they obtained it, as long as they had a channel, that was enough for them.
Everyone looked at Zheng Wenyan, hoping he would explain.
Zheng Wenyan continued, "The newly invested resources will be divided into several parts."
"Many people are probably familiar with the Trial Tower. Some resources are put into the Trial Tower, and you will get corresponding cultivation resources by challenging the Trial Tower."
He then explained what the Trial Tower actually was.
The Trial Tower has nine levels, each with enemies of varying strength. Disciples can enter to challenge them and obtain resources.
It is said that only the top combatants among those at the ninth level of the Fetal Breathing stage can pass through the ninth level.
This is something you only get after you formally enter the program and join the various peaks.
It has now been moved ahead of schedule to Xinhuo Peak.
"The Trial Tower of the Flame Peak has been weakened, with only six levels in total. Theoretically, the highest level requires combat strength at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage to pass. If you can pass it before leaving the Flame Peak, you will receive a large amount of rewards."
"Furthermore, the Trial Tower will rank players based on the number of floors cleared and their speed, with different rankings receiving different rewards. Rewards are settled every three months, and the rewards are quite substantial. If you want them, then go and conquer the tower as fast as you can!"
"Theoretically speaking, the first place in the Trial Tower each time will receive 3000 sect contribution points."
"Furthermore, the ranking is based on the entire Xinhuo Peak, and your competitors are also disciples of the entire Xinhuo Peak."
Upon hearing this, the disciples began to discuss it amongst themselves.
The number of disciples who have entered the ranks of cultivators at the entire Xinhuo Peak, regardless of whether they are from the inner or outer sects, is approximately 5000.
Achieving a good ranking among 5000 people is no easy feat.
This reward is destined to be hard to obtain.
"Teacher, is this the only way to obtain resources?" someone asked.
"Of course not." Zheng Wenyan shook his head. "In addition, you will receive a large reward for breaking through to the fourth level of Fetal Breathing before leaving Xinhuo Peak. The reward will increase for each subsequent level you break through, and it can be combined with the academic rewards."
"The specific rewards will be sent to your identity token later, and you can check them yourself."
"In addition, a competition will be held every year, with different rewards based on the rankings."
"There will be rewards for each improvement in supernatural abilities cultivation."
"..."
Zheng Wenyan explained a wide range of reward methods at once, covering all aspects.
The sect has gone all out this time.
But the most important things are still the Trial Tower and cultivation improvement.
However, this is not the end.
"These are all rewards that can be obtained by improving oneself. After discussion within the sect, some sect missions will be distributed to the Flame Peak. As long as a disciple embarks on cultivation, he or she must complete at least two missions each year."
"You can accept more missions, but you can't accept fewer. If you don't complete them, you won't be able to enter the Trial Tower or be ranked in cultivation."
The Sword Sect protects an area spanning thousands of miles.
Disciples will go to handle matters that mortals cannot handle.
However, previously, the tasks were handled by disciples who had left Xinhuo Peak and joined the various main peaks.
The sect has now delegated the task.
Is the spiritual energy about to be cut off, so some of the training has been brought forward?
