The Peak of the Flying Stone was located on the west side of the Qing-Yun Sect, and its Qi was so abundant that it ranked a the top three for amount On top of the peak stood the Grand Hall of Promotions, a hall that was used for the sole purpose ofthe capabilities of an outer court disciple after they had satisfied the e tier four

A disciple would only be accepted into the inner court if they passed the assessment process, where an inner court elder would usually question the disciple's background and evaluate their strength The disciple then had to stand before the Qing-Yun Sect's ancestral memorial and vow to follow the Three Rules and Twelve Ad their very own Soul Lantern in front of it Only then could they beco-Yun

With his hands folded co arrived at the Peak of the Flying Stone at last The path had been a tough journey on its own; branches and thorny vines had long since overrun it, as only a handful of disciples traveled on it every ten years The trek had been an exact ave to its disciples: the path of cultivation is long and arduous

As it was for any sect, it was not the thousand-plus outer court disciples that made or broke the entire sect, but those of the inner court The Qing-Yun Sect had merely a hundred inner court disciples, and when these hundred or so disciples had grown, they would be the ones to either beco the sect's profits and ie, be it indirectly at its various branches and spiritof beasts and demons

The thousand or so outer court disciples would usually return hoe and wealth for the Qing-Yun Sect froe number of them that would die in the course of a Duty Talisman mission

In front of the Grand Hall was a e house with its shape stretching a hundred feet above the ground A Foundation Stage Jiaolong[1] was painted on the front of the druainst it could send the sound traveling hundreds of ”

Next to the druend said that it had been e[2] Nine-Headed Lion King that had been slain by the Qing-Yun Sect's great grand elder Yang Huayu, so Heaven”

Using this particular drue that could reach even the e that declared a new disciple had joined the inner court and that the Qing-Yun Sect's naenerations of cultivators

There were not many people at the Grand Hall of Promotions, and it was sole its front steps, and once they saw Fang Xing, they all began to show curious glances

”Dear shi+xiong, please return back down A person cannot enter the Grand Hall of Pro in a kindly manner Only those outer court disciples in the fourth tier were eligible to co didn't look much older than they were; no matter which way they looked, he did not look like somebody who had already achieved tier four

Fang Xing laughed ”Well said! Here's your reward!” He then threw three Spirit Stones to the

The three all looked at each other, confused by his words and unaware that what they had just spoken filled Fang Xing with great joy It was a given that the Grand Hall could not be entered as anybody pleased; only people like hi said was not incorrect and they thusly deserved a reward

As the san to ignore hirab the pillar-like stick beside the druainst the drum's center

DOOON

The sound was low and heavy like that of thunder, and it reverberated out across the entire sect Fang Xing was so excited that he couldn't stop Note after note, it was as though a thunderstorht in front of the Grand Hall

All three daotong had their eyes wide open in a by those with a e tier four, yet this boy who seee as them was able to sound it out nonstop It was obvious now that he had reached tier four

The nonstop thunderclaps interrupted many of those who had been ioing to become an inner court disciple? Who is it?” Many had been practicing hard to clai the first new disciple to join the inner court, yet it seemed someone else had taken that spot

”It's been less than a year, yet someone is already ready to become an inner court disciple? I wonder if it's someone from the previous batch or if it's a new recruit” Numerous elders had also been surprised and they all looked towards the Peak of the Flying Stone with curiosity

The plump Taoist was still filled with tears of joy, for he knew that it was Fang Xing who had banged the drum

Meng Xuanzhao, on the other hand, was filled with anger during the process of begging with his stern-faced uncle

Within the black bamboo forest, both the yellow-dressed female and the dark-faced man heard the drum sound as well The dark-faced , ”Can't believe we made a bet to see which one of us would becoht that the first person would be that boy with no background or wealth? This is truly e for all of us What do you think, shi+jie Qin?”

”Indeed It's lucky we haven't gotten ourselves on his bad side this tireed and continued with his bitter smile

On the Qing-Yun Sect's main peak—the Peak of Divine Epoch—was a black-haired elder and a white-haired youth seated beneath an ancient giant pine tree Their gaes, and the black-haired elder was visibly frowning at the state of the board while holding a stone piece in his hand It had been ten days since the last stone had been placed on the Weiqi board, and the white-haired youth in contrast had a slight smile on his face
