He cooperated with Shen Wang’s disguise and did not mention his real name.
The Steward Pavilion manages the logistics and other affairs of the entire Sect. Shen Wang’s identity verification and some matters related to Inner Sect Disciples are handled here.
The process is not complicated: registering information, obtaining an identity token, receiving the basic supplies for Inner Sect Disciples, and being allotted a courtyard for Inner Sect Disciples, then it’s complete.
From then on, Shen Wang became an Inner Sect Disciple of the Array Refining Pavilion, officially a disciple of the Hundred Refining Sect, using the identity of Wang Sheng.
However, his situation as an Inner Sect Disciple is quite special. Previously, he was neither an Outer Disciple nor a descendant of a Hundred Refining Sect Elder or Steward, so he must participate in an Inner Sect Disciple assessment.
This kind of assessment is not difficult for Shen Wang; he just needs to participate once alongside those promoted Outer Disciples.
Shen Wang’s luck is quite good; the latest Inner Sect Disciple entry assessment happens to be in three days, he just needs to go through it then.
Old Liu’s investigation into his situation will still take a few days, so Shen Wang is not planning to go to Hundred Refinements City again but directly follows Li Yuanliu to the Inner Sect Disciple residences mid-mountain.
Only True Disciples, High-Level Stewards, Elders of the Hundred Refining Sect have their own Cave Mansions, while other disciples and mid- to low-level Stewards have courtyards.
The courtyards for Inner Sect Disciples are concentrated mid-mountain, divided into pavilions, arranged very neatly, built squarely, unlike the randomness of the Void Sect.
Hundred Refinement Mountain is a thousand zhang high, a huge mountain, and the thousand courtyards of the Inner Sect do not seem crowded. The courtyards are divided into three grades, with the variation in area aside, the concentration of Spiritual Qi and the strength of arrays will change.
Between the various courtyards, various living and combat places are also arranged, especially a series of dark red arenas that stand out, with cheers occasionally ringing out, making it quite lively.
Li Yuanliu explained to Shen Wang as they walked: "The villas are divided into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. The Spiritual Qi concentration is two, four, and eight times. Ordinary Inner Sect Disciples can only live in human-grade villas. To live in better ones, you must spend a certain number of contribution points."
He pointed to the arenas between the villas: "Besides contributions, there is another channel. Do you see this thing? This thing is called the Hundred Battles Arena."
Shen Wang nodded: "I have heard of it."
"Our Hundred Refining Sect may seem famous for artifact refining, but the requirements for strength are not low. It’s even higher than many sects. To promote the improvement of disciple strength, such arenas were established."
Li Yuanliu laughed: "This thing is a special Magical Artifact and will automatically repair itself even if destroyed. There are a total of eight, and you can challenge the disciples on the Hundred Battles Ranking at any time, and they mostly cannot refuse."
"The Hundred Battles Ranking..."
Shen Wang thought of some previous rumors and pondered: "Does this ranking have the Celestial List and Earth List, where ranking at the corresponding positions allows enjoying mid to upper-grade villas?"
"Yes, the top ten on the Celestial List and the top twenty on the Earth List can live in such villas for a month as long as they rank each month, and they can continue as long as they maintain their ranking."
Li Yuanliu smiled: "Besides that, these thirty people also have other very generous rewards, hence the fierce competition. The Body Refining Pavilion, Qi Cultivation Pavilion, and Artifact Refining Pavilion disciples are all keen on competing."
"Then I’m interested as well."
Shen Wang laughed: "I should be able to directly challenge the people on the Celestial List, right?" Content originally comes from novel·fire·net
He intended to stir things up, but also wanted to avoid some troubles.
And here is practically the best place for him to stir things up; he just needs to challenge those guys from the Body Refining Pavilion, reasonably and openly to embarrass them.
The higher-ups probably won’t be able to say anything.
"Of course you can. Moreover, this arena has restrictions: the Magical Artifacts, Puppets, etc., used cannot exceed one, and mid-grade Tiered Talismans cannot exceed three. Therefore, it’s always been an advantage for the Body Refining Pavilion."
Li Yuanliu said meaningfully: "It’s also very suitable for you."
Shen Wang said: "Where do I register?"
"There’s a building next to the arena called Hundred Battles Tower, you register there."
Li Yuanliu said this: "You don’t need to rush. Since you haven’t completed the entry assessment, your identity hasn’t been fully transferred, so you probably can’t register yet."
Shen Wang was speechless: "Then why did you say it?"
"Why are you in a hurry? It’s only a few days. Even if you can participate now, you won’t be able to move into an upper-class villa until next month."
Li Yuanliu shook his head.
"Alright, just inform me during the assessment."
Shen Wang stopped walking.
"Your token will remind you."
Li Yuanliu said: "Within the Sect and within a thousand miles, you can use this token to transmit information and contact others. To contact someone, you just need to make a mark in advance."
"Oh, this token has quite a few functions."
Shen Wang took out his silver token, engraved with many runes, a special Magical Artifact.
It’s said that there are eight hundred Inner Sect Disciples, and everyone has such a token. Other Stewards have one too, showing the Sect’s wealth.
"Our Hundred Refining Sect is best at artifact refining, and this communication token has many functions. Study it when you go back, and you’ll find out."
Li Yuanliu said proudly.
"Thank you, you guided me into the Outer Pavilion and Inner Sect, it’s such fate, come, I’ll treat you to a drink."
Shen Wang saw some restaurants and inns between the villas and wanted to treat Li Yuanliu to get more information smoothly.
"Then I won’t be polite, the drinks at the Inner Sect restaurants have good things."
Li Yuanliu smiled meaningfully.
"You order, I’ll treat."
Shen Wang said generously, having just sold off some items and regained a wave of wealth, with quite a few Spirit Stones on him now.
