Chapter 119: Outer Court Disciple

Chapter 119: Outer Court Disciple

“Do you need more food, brother? You did miss last night’s dinner and today’s breakfast, after all.” Yu Rou asked him after feeding him 3 bowls of soup.

“Thank you, and no, I don’t,” Yuan said.

“Okay, then I’ll leave you alone for now.”

After Yu Rou left the room, Yuan began cultivating by absorbing the spiritual energy in the room, and he would cultivate until the following morning when Yu Rou returned to his room with breakfast in her hands.

After breakfast, Yuan went back into Cultivation Online to check whether there were more people who’d passed the examination, but alas, there has yet to be another participant who’d passed the disciple examination besides him.

Seeing this, Yuan went back into his small room and reread the rule book one more time before logging off and spending the rest of his time cultivating in the real world.

Yuan would repeat this for the next four days until he could finally see other participants who had passed the examination appear at the gathering area, and he’d also managed to reach the 6th Spirit Apprentice during this time.

However, since there are still 3 days before the lecture, Yuan did not linger around and logged off to cultivate some more in the real world.

After waiting for a grand total of 7 days, once the disciple examination had officially ended and all of the participants who’d passed the exam gathered in the Dragon Essence Temple, Yuan finally emerged from his small room and blended in with the crowd of new disciples while waiting for the lecture to begin.

There were a little over 300 disciples there, and considering how there were tens of thousands of people that had participated in the disciple examination from the beginning, it showed just how difficult the disciple examination truly was to the rest of the world.

Yuan looked around, and there were a few familiar faces that he recognized from the disciple examination, and one of them was Fairy Min, who’d displayed an impressive performance during the third examination and definitely one of the most prominent figures there.

Meanwhile, Fairy Min was also looking around with her small head turning left and right, seemingly trying to find a certain individual.

However, when she couldn’t see this person she was looking for, a puzzled and surprised look appeared on her face.

‘Where is that person with the black jade mask? Surely, he didn’t fail the disciple examination, right? Not only was he a Spirit Warrior but he also had an unfathomable aura! There’s no way someone like that could possibly fail the disciple examination!’ Min Li pondered to herself when she could not see a man wearing a black jade mask in the crowd.

However, little did she know that Yuan was standing only a few feet away from her. Though, not only did Yuan change his appearance but he also consumed the Pill of Concealment that disguised his cultivation and aura, so it was only natural that Min Li did not recognize him.

After standing around for a few minutes, one of the sect elders appeared before them and said, “All of you new disciples, follow me to the lecture site!”

“Yes, Senior!”

The disciples then followed the sect elder like a group of ducklings.

Sometime later, they arrived at this large building and entered it. Once inside, they all took a seat and waited for the sect elder.

“First and foremost, allow me to congratulate you all on passing the disciple examination and becoming a disciple of the Dragon Essence Temple! Out of 54 thousand Cultivators that participated in the disciple examination, only 310 of you have managed to become a disciple! This is something you should be proud of!”

“For this lecture, I’ll be talking mostly about a few sect rules and a few general things you need to know as a disciple of the Dragon Essence Temple!”

“Let me begin with your status as an Outer Court disciple.”

“While you are a disciple of the great Dragon Essence Temple and you should feel proud, just remember that there is always someone better than you and that you are only an Outer Court disciple! If you see a Senior, be it a fellow disciple or a sect elder, be courteous and greet them! If a Senior asks you a question, answer them! In the cultivation world and not just the sect, respecting your Seniors will go a long way!”

“As an Outer Court disciple, do not expect any support from the sect when it comes to resources until you are an Inner Court disciple! If you want resources, work for them! The Dragon Essence Temple has over 100,000 disciples, which means resources are scarce and only those who are worthy will be supported! Although you may have become a disciple, you have not yet contributed to the sect, so do not expect the sect to hand out free food!”

“Now many of you should be wondering how you can obtain resources in the sect. Allow me to introduce you to the Contribution Hall, where you can spend your contribution points for resources and treasures alike. There are three different Contribution Halls, each located within their own court, so the Outer Court will have their own Contribution Hall whilst Inner Court will also have one.”

“The difference between each Contribution Halls are the resources you can obtain from them, meaning you will be able to obtain more valuable treasures in the Inner Court compared to the Outer Court, as this is a privilege for those who’d earned it and an incentive for you to climb higher in the sect and the cultivation world!”

The disciples swallowed nervously after hearing the sect elders’ words.

“How does one obtain contribution points, Senior?” One of the disciples raised his hands to ask.

“There are many methods you can use to obtain contribution points. You do missions for the sect, you sell treasures you don’t need, and you can even ask for them from your fellow disciples,” said the sect elder.
