73 Qi Lock, Qi Vortex
Everyone nodded.
They all knew that every sect had a different operating method. It was very normal to screen elites and nurture them. After all, the sect’s resources were limited. It was impossible for every disciple to be nurtured by the sect.
Therefore, the Red Tiger Sect adopted three years of training as a night patroller to select elites worth nurturing. Then, they would focus on nurturing these elites. It would also let these elites feel the importance the sect placed on them, allowing them to have a sense of belonging to the sect.
“Contribution points are equally important in the upper sect. It’s still the key to exchanging for various cultivation techniques, weapons, and cultivation resources. If you want to increase your position, such as advancing to an Elder, you also need a large number of contribution points. Apart from carrying out missions, the way to obtain contribution points is mainly through cultivation.” The inner sect disciple surnamed Su continued.
“You can obtain contribution points by cultivating?”
Everyone was shocked.
“That’s right.”
The inner sect disciple surnamed Su had already expected everyone’s reaction. It was the same when he went up the mountain back then. He said with a smile, “I just said that the most important thing for inner sect disciples in the sect is to cultivate! The contribution points you can obtain from cultivating are even more than the contribution points you can obtain from carrying out missions. For example, as long as you break through to the Martial Entry-Level and enter the Qi Martial Realm, you can immediately obtain 10,000 contribution points.”
When everyone heard this, they all revealed surprised expressions.
10,000 contribution points…
To most night patrollers, they had to carry out missions for at least a year to obtain so many contribution points.
However, to inner sect disciples, they could obtain 10,000 contribution points with just one breakthrough!
Such a difference…
They didn’t know what to say.
“10,000 contribution points is a lot of contribution points in the lower sect and Golden Cloud City, but in the upper sect, many cultivation resources are usually bought with thousands of contribution points. There are also quite a lot of resources that are worth tens of thousands of contribution points.
“Apart from obtaining contribution points when you break through to the Qi Martial Realm at the Martial Entry-Level, you will also continue to obtain contribution points every time you advance after you reach the Qi Martial Realm. You will know the exact situation after you break through to the Qi Martial Realm.
“Just remember this. The most important thing for inner sect disciples in the sect is to cultivate! The mission is secondary. Even if you don’t do a single mission, there won’t be any problems. Of course, if the sect has any important actions, we can’t refuse.”
They all nodded.
They had understood. The sect had given them good treatment. When the sect needed them to do something, they were duty-bound.
Xiao Shi felt that the way inner sect disciples focused on cultivation was quite suitable for him. There was no need to take the risk to fight outside. He could cultivate steadily in the sect and obtain contribution points through cultivation.
It was very comfortable.
Of course, for some people who liked to fight and take risks, they would be a little bored.
Just like that, under the explanation of the inner sect disciple surnamed Su, Xiao Shi and the others had a certain understanding of the upper sect. Then, they received the inner sect disciple’s token and the inner sect disciple’s exclusive robe one after another. At the same time, they also had a residence in the upper sect.
The exclusive robes of inner sect disciples were not ordinary clothes. Instead, it was clothes that belonged to the Qi Martial Realm. However, they could only use the effect of the robe after reaching the Qi Martial Realm.
Other than that, what everyone looked forward to the most was the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm!
Till now, all of them had basically reached the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level. They were only lacking the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm.
The method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm was usually a secret in the various sects. Only by becoming an inner sect disciple that the sect focused on nurturing could they obtain a way to break through to the Qi Martial Realm.
When they successfully received the jade slip that recorded the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm, they all returned to their rooms and could not wait to check.
Xiao Shi was also very concerned about the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm. After picking up the jade slip, he immediately began to read it seriously. It was not until late at night that Xiao Shi finally understood the contents of the jade slip.
The entire jade slip slowly dissipated in his hand.
This kind of jade slip could only be checked once. After checking, the jade slip would disappear. Therefore, when he first checked, he had to remember everything in it.
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. The information recorded in the jade slip echoed in his mind.
The breakthrough to the Qi Martial Realm was more complicated than he had imagined. The entire breakthrough was divided into two steps.
The first step was to find the Qi Lock hidden in his body through his Qi and blood.
The so-called Qi Lock was a type of shackle hidden in a person’s body. Ordinary people could not see or sense its existence. Only when one reached the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level could they use their blood and qi to search their body and find it.
The second step is to break the Qi Lock after finding it, and open the Qi vortex sealed by the Qi Lock.
Qi Vortex was the hidden point of Qi acquisition in a person’s body. It contained a mysterious power. After activating it, the level of life would be changed.
This was also the biggest difference between the Martial Entry-Level and the Qi Martial Realm. The Martial Entry-Level cultivated the accumulation of blood and qi. What the Qi Martial Realm cultivated was to continuously break the Qi Lock and open the Qi vortex sealed by the Qi Lock.
Only by activating his Qi vortex could he obtain the core power of the Qi Martial Realm from the Qi vortex—
Qi force!
As for the strength of the qi force, Xiao Shi was deeply touched. This was a power that far exceeded the level of blood and qi.
“Then, I’ll use my blood and qi to sense and find the hidden Qi lock in my body now.” Xiao Shi immediately used his blood and Qi to find the Qi Lock according to the method recorded in the jade slip.
According to the description in the jade slip, often, the richer the Qi and blood, the easier it would be to find the Qi Lock. With his blood and qi, he believed that it would not be difficult to find these Qi locks.
“Let’s begin!”
Xiao Shi’s mind stirred.
The blood and qi in his body seemed to have formed a shocking wave that surged into the sky and surged towards various parts of his body like an avalanche. As the blood and qi in his body erupted, waves spread out along his body like a powerful searchlight, illuminating the Qi locks hidden in his body and emerging from his body.
These Qi Locks covered every part of Xiao Shi’s body. Be it his meridians, flesh, or internal organs, there were Qi Locks.
At first glance, Xiao Shi felt as if his entire body was covered in dense shackles. Behind each Qi lock was a Qi vortex. What the Qi Martial Realm needed to do was to break these Qi Locks one by one and open one Qi vortex after another.
