Chapter 160 - My Krune! (1/2)
Krune spent the last night cultivating and decided to leave the next day to take a look around the sect. Lakin and everyone else had already taken their own IDs and could walk around the Outer and Inner Sect too. The wisps wouldn't need to be afraid of anyone attacking them here, so almost every single one of them was out at the moment.
Lakin immediately left to go find where Cassy was, Dier had stayed with Ao's batch, so he wasn't there to start with. Krune noticed that there wasn't anything better to do and also left to take a look around. After checking the information about the facilities available for Inner Sect disciples, Krune decided to pass by the Cultivation Rooms first.
The cultivation rooms of the Inner Sect had Spiritual Energy Gathering Formations at the Nine Silver Stars level, which was impressive for someone Like Krune. The best one he found before was in the Mercenary Guild Headquarters in Yule Continent, and that one was still at the normal Stars level.
When Krune arrived at the facility, he noticed that he needed to pay Divine Merit Points for the time of use. One hour costs 100 Merit Points, and he has 2000 at the moment, which is the number that all Inner Sect Disciples who join for the first time have. Although he didn't have much, he still decided to pay for an hour to see how good it was.
The menial disciple responsible for taking care of the counter noticed Krune approaching and got a fright!
”The Sect Master's Disciple!”
Everyone around heard the menial disciple words and immediately looked over.
”So that is the Sect Master's very first disciple.”
”I wonder why the Sect Master would accept a wisp as a disciple, though.”
”At first, I thought it was a mistake, but two days had already passed, and nothing changed. That means that the Sect Master really selected him.”
Krune could hear all the voices around him and sighed. That's why he didn't want to be the Sect Master's disciple. Still, now it was too late to care about that.
He then entered the room and started to cultivate so that he could see the difference. Suddenly, Krune's eyes lit up!
”Unbelievable! Cultivating inside here is the same as if I use Rank Five Spirit Stones without stop! Although it is a Nine Silver Stars Formation, it doesn't change the fact that it is still at the Silver level. I wonder just how good are the ones at the Gold Stars level. From what I found in the Sect's network, Gold Stars Formations are only available for Core and Legacy Disciples, though.”
Krune already checked what was necessary to enter the Core Sect.
First, one had to be at least in the Core Formation Stage, anyone below that, even the Sect Master's disciple himself, wouldn't be allowed to enter.
Second, there is another exam that happens every year for the Inner Sect Core Formation Realm cultivators to take. If they pass, they can enter the Core Sect. Still, it wasn't easy.
The number that was accepted every year wasn't anything higher than 20 or 30 contestants. Don't think that this number is anything significant. One must remember that every ten years, a big batch of Inner Sect disciples join the Divine Path Sect. The proportion of Inner and Core disciple is only around 1/100, which means that the Inner Sect has at least 100 times more disciples than the Core.
Krune used every single second available to him to cultivate so that he wouldn't lose his points for nothing. When he left his room, he felt that there were even more people and demon beasts here now, and all of them were looking at him. Krune pretended that it wasn't his problem and decided to go to the next place.
After taking a teleport formation, he arrived at the Cultivation Pavillion, a gigantic building with hundreds of thousands of cultivation techniques, skills, and even some forbidden arts and soul cultivation techniques. Compared to this place, the old Rainbow Sect dimension Books Hall looked more like a small hut.
Once again, everyone present there at the moment noticed his presence, and soon, a crowd formed around Krune. He then arrived at the counter and paid 500 merit points, which would give him the chance to look through the techniques available for one hour too. After entering a private room, Krune activated the monitor in front of him and noticed that it had several filters.
One of the filters even considered the race that the disciple was from, which immediately picked Krune's attention.
”Could it be that it has wisps included?”
Krune then started to look for the wisps in that filter, and sure enough, the wisp race was also listed there.
”Does it mean that the Divine Path Sect has cultivation techniques suited for wisps too?”
Krune then immediately selected 'search,' and just a second later, three options appeared for him. The very first one made his mouth twitch a little, though.
Myriad Wisps Technique, by Krune.
”That old geezer is quite fast, isn't he?”
The other two options were.
Myriad Energies Technique, the common one, of course.
and...
Soon to Die Wisp Technique, by Ian.
Krune couldn't help but think that the name was very well fit for wisps. They have small life spans, after all. However, that wasn't the reason why this technique was called like this.
