Chapter 67: Sect rewards
Top grade marksmanship skill.
Altogether nine super grade martial skills were recorded in the mountain valley, situated at the back of the Zhentian martial court, but none of them was actually a marksmanship skill, and if a Wudao master wanted to practice a marksmanship skill, he could choose only a top grade marksmanship skill.
"You will have to wait till you step into the Zhenling mystical realm in order to use this Qian Dragon Spear efficiently, so until then, you should learn a top grade marksmanship skill."
Baiyun Zong said.
Now Long Yu realized why Baiyun Zong said to him to use a top grade marksmanship skill "temporarily."
It was necessary to practice a top grade marksmanship skill completely, but Long Yu must wait till he would step into Zhenling mystical realm.
But stepping into Zhenling mystical realm was not an easy matter, and at least it couldn't be achieved in a short time, therefore, Long Yu needed a top grade marksmanship skill in order to familiarize himself with Qian Dragon spear.
"When I further go with the practice of Qian Dragon Spear, the most important thing would be the imposing aura. But since I have comprehended the Zhentian world influence, even if I haven't practiced a marksmanship skill, I should be able to display very strong strength with Qian Dragon Spear."
Long Yu thought to himself and then took his leave from Baiyun Zong.
Baiyun Zong always said to him that 'time waits for none', so he would have to rely on his own hard work.
He could feel that Qian Dragon Spear seemed to hide some secret, but at present, he was unable to understand it, and only after stepping into Zhenling mystical realm, he would be able to figure it out.
Somehow, Long Yu always felt that this Qian Dragon Spear seemed to have its own intelligence, but that intelligence was hidden deep within, so he was unable to notice it.
Soon, Long Yu descended the mountain and arrived at the Martial Court.
Bu Xing, clad in a black tight dress, was standing near the cliff of the Martial Court and was looking at the sea of clouds, and his stature attracted the attention of the disciples of Zhentian Sect moving here and there in the surroundings.
The identity of Bu Xing was so great that almost every disciple of Zhentian Sect knew him!
At this point, they saw Bu Xing standing here, and it seemed that he was waiting for someone, and now they were curious, but they actually didn't know who exactly was he waiting for?
Perhaps he had developed a liking for some beautiful woman?
And when the figure of Long Yu appeared there, the eyes of many people shone brightly.
"When did this boy come back? I have heard that Long Yu is very strong, has defeated Feng Yun unexpectedly, and has become the 10th ranked core disciple."
"Feng Yun died in Yu Guan city, but I have got the news that he was actually killed by the collaboration of the people of three respected clans of Yu Guan city. I would say Long Yu picked up a bargain at most."
"I also think so, but due to this alone, he has managed to suddenly become the 10th ranked core disciple, this is really unfair!"
"After two days, rewards will be given to the core disciples for this month. I guess Long Yu will really pick up a big bargain!"
In Zhentian Sect, each disciple could get rewards that sect provided.
The outer disciples of the Sect could get a low-grade immortality pill after every three months.
The inner disciples could get a low-grade good immortality pill after every two months, or a high-grade good immortality pill, chosen by themselves, after every four months.
And, in the case of the core disciples, the higher the rank, the more would be the rewards.
For example, Long Yu was now 10th ranked core disciple, then he could get a top grade immortality pill every month, or if he could maintain this position for three months, then he could get a top grade battle weapon.
And if he maintained this position for six months, then he could get a super grade immortality pill, and if he maintained his position for one year, then he could get a super grade battle weapon.
Besides the immortality pills and battle weapons, the core disciples also received certain other rewards that greatly helped them in their cultivation.
Certainly, according to the provisions of the Sect, every disciple, while receiving the reward, must simultaneously accept certain tasks to perform, for example, the task of collecting certain medicinal herbs, killing some ominous beasts, chasing down rebel disciples, apprehending the enemies of the Sect and so on.
Once a core disciple completed his allotted task, then it would guarantee the payment of the next reward to him. And if the task was not completed, the next reward would not be paid to him, whereas a new task would be allotted to him to perform.
Although, Long Yu joined the sect only three months ago, but he was different from an ordinary disciple. He was too quick to progress and didn't have too many exchanges with ordinary disciples.
He didn't go to receive any sect rewards, naturally had not completed any task for the Sect either.
And now, in two days, he would receive the reward for being a core disciple, and it would naturally help him to enhance his strength, and simultaneously would also get a certain task to perform for the Sect.
The higher the rank of the core disciple, the better would be the reward, and tougher would be the task to perform!
Because of this, many people were jealous of Long Yu.
They thought that depending on his current strength, Long Yu actually did not have the qualifications to become the 10th ranked core disciple, and in two days, the core disciples were going to receive rewards according to their rankings, so they didn't feel well regarding this matter!
Meanwhile, Long Yu arrived and looked at people in the surrounding, and noticed from their facial expressions that they didn't appear well and were somewhat bewildered.
The 10th ranked core disciple would receive the reward?
Long Yu, of course, knew that sect provided rewards to the core disciples, but at that time, he was a little bit surprised, because he substituted Feng Yun and directly became the 10th ranked core disciple.
Regarding this, he didn't think much and just walked towards Bu Xing and greeted him loudly.
"Senior Bu."
Long Yu waved.
Seeing this, immediately appeared mocking looks on the faces of the people in surroundings. What did this Long Yu think of himself? He greeted Bu Xing by saying Senior Bu and expected him to comply favorably?
Who didn't know about the stubborn nature of Bu Xing, the first core disciple? If it was not the person of his same level, he would not even bother to exchange a word with that person.
Long Yu was definitely going to be humiliated!
What they thought was right, but the action that Bu Xing took at that time, greatly surprised them.
"Brother Long Yu, you came back, take this, this is Ling Han's letter addressed to you."
He moved sideways, waved his arm and threw an envelope towards Long Yu.
Long Yu caught it and casually said: "Thank you, Senior Bu."
"Ha ha, I will go first!"
Bu Xing stubbornly smiled and turned around to leave and instantly disappeared from there!
This made everyone freeze on the spot. Bu Xing was standing here for a long time, could it be that he was actually waiting for Long Yu?
Moreover, just to give a letter to Long Yu, he was personally waiting for him here!
Was there some unique relationship between Long Yu and Bu Xing?
Well, Long Yu also seemed to have certain relations with the elders of the Sect!
Many people thought and guessed correctly that Long Yu surely had some relations with the elders of the Sect and might also be getting various sect resources, and because of all this, his strength was progressing so fast.
Otherwise, how could he double his strength from Wudao fourth layer to the eighth layer in just three months?
Moreover, being only at Wudao eighth layer, how could he possibly replace Feng Yun to become the 10th ranked core disciple?
If Feng Yun died outside leaving his position vacant, why arrangements were not made to increase one rank to every core disciple, vacating the 108th position!
But now, Long Yu was being treated as an exception!
Unfortunately, no matter how the people looked at this thing, Long Yu didn't bother about them at all.
He put Ling Han's letter in his pocket, and stepped into the Martial Court, and moved towards the third floor to choose a top grade marksmanship skill.
The first floor of the Martial Court was the place where Zhentian tactics practice rooms were present, while the second floor was meant for the outer disciples to pick up martial skills to practice.
Long Yu went to the third floor, which was only accessible to inner disciples.
"Hey, Long Yu?"
He just stepped into the third floor, and suddenly, a clear joyful voice fell into his ears.
Long Yu looked up and saw that it was none other than Liao Lele, who had come there to pick up a martial skill for herself!
"Liao Lele, I never expected you to be so fast, and it appears now you are at Wudao sixth layer."
Long Yu saw her, could not help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
It could be said, when he came to Zhentian Sect, he was alone and had no friend. When he was left alone to face Feng Yang, Fang Kang and Feng Yun, this girl was always by his side.
"Are you kidding me? You are at Wudao eighth layer and I am at Wudao sixth layer, and you call me fast?"
Liao Lele lightly snorted, and at that time, her eyes were shining with an inexplicable look as she quickly came in front of Long Yu and looked at him: "Yes, you are really at Wudao eighth layer and also defeated a Wudao ninth layer master like Feng Yun, fierce, so fierce."
"All this actually passed very quickly."
Long Yu smiled.
All this happened only two days ago in Yu Guan city, and he didn't expect the news about that incident to spread so fast in the entire Zhentian Sect.
"The news about Feng Yun's death really circulated fast."
Liao Lele plainly looked at him: "As an exception, you have actually substituted Feng Yun, have become the 10th ranked core disciple, making many core disciples secretly discontented and there's this one fellow who actually went to the Elder's pavilion to put a challenge request against you."
"He has challenged me?"
Long Yu said and was a bit surprised.
"Yes, the challenge is for you, has actually come from a disciple of the 15th rank, and if he defeats you, then you will fall to the 15th rank, and you will miss this month's reward for the core disciple."
Liao Lele explained.
"15th ranked core disciple, Meng Ce."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes.
He had not heard Meng Ce's name before, but his strength should be more than Ling Lie, though should be inferior to Feng Yun.
But since Long Yu was able to defeat Feng Yun, so he certainly was not afraid of Meng Ce.
"Right, do you know what's the reward for 10th ranked core disciple for this month?"
Long Yu asked.
"Yes, it is a top grade immortality pill and an opportunity to practice in Sect Valley for three days!"
Liao Lele said straightforwardly: "If you fall to 15th rank, you will still get the top grade immortality pill, but the time for practicing in Sect Valley will be only for two days."
Sect Valley practice!
Long Yu heard it, and suddenly felt some expectations rising in his heart!
He had also spent some time in Zhentian Sect, of course, he also knew about Sect Valley. A practice place which was only accessible to core disciples, and there, it was very helpful in comprehending the world trend of Zhentian tactics.
In Zhentian Sect, almost more than 80 % disciples had comprehended the Zhentian mysterious mood by practicing in Sect Valley!
"If I can enter Sect Valley to practice, then I can consolidate my comprehension of the world influence, and strengthen the understanding of the repressive laws of the world, to build the foundation of Zhentian domain."
Long Yu thought.
Sect Valley practice was the most important reward for the core disciples of Zhentian Sect, and in its comparison, a top grade immortality pill was nothing.
Because all the core disciples had stepped into Wudao eighth layer, and some had even stepped into Wudao ninth layer, and these immortality pills simply lessened the time of their practice, but couldn't really help in getting a quick breakthrough.
But, by practicing in Sect Valley, if he was able to consolidate his comprehension of Zhentian mood or Zhentian charm, then his battle efficiency would increase tremendously.
