Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 729 – Sudden Invasion

After the exam was over, new initiates were guided into the sect. Tang Ting and Miaomiao however, were sent to the inner part of the city.

While Sima Yi was guiding Miaomiao and Tang Ting to their new residence, he warned them.

”You two didn ’t climb the sect from the bottom, so you might not know the culture here. Did your parents tell you what you need to know? ”

Tang Ting snorted, ”Already did. My dad told me everything I need to know. ”

Miaomiao already heard everything from Mao Shan and Mao Cheng. He was aware of the restrictions and rules.

There could only be 1,000 inner disciples in the entire sect, and everyone was ranked by their seats. To gain a better ranking, inner disciples had to challenge the others in a duel to claim their seat ranking. However, by challenging someone, one had to put a wager as a fee while the challenged didn ’t need to put anything on the line other than their rank.

However, there was a kick. An inner disciple could only challenge another disciple to a fight once a month. The higher the rankings, the higher the wager the challenger had to prepare beforehand. Therefore, a ranking promotion duel was money-consuming.

In addition, every quarter, the 10 strongest outer disciples got to challenge the weakest 10 inner disciples to claim their titles and the inner disciple promotion. Thus, the competition was fierce among the inner disciple ’s rankings as they avoided being pushed down to the bottom seats.

Being an inner disciple also had its perks. The first boon was the standard ranking rewards every inner disciple could gain. The 1,000th ranker could earn one spirit stone while the first ranker earned 1,000 spirit stones every day.

The second benefit was the Celestial Sword Sect ’s library. Every quarter, any inner disciple could copy a manual from the library, and the sect ’s library contained a hundred thousand sword techniques, cultivation methods, and records of history. Every inner disciple could learn a lot by getting their hands on the books there.

Aside from books and cultivation resources, elders often held lectures for inner disciples. Top rankers could also request a private lecture once every month from one of the elders.

From the local cultivators ’ perspective, being an inner disciple was like being a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer in the modern world. Everybody aspired to become one of the Celestial Sword Sect ’s members to become strong and rich.

Meanwhile, each elder could only accept up to five core disciples, and no disciple could fight them for their seats. The only way to become a core disciple was to become one of the top rankers among inner disciples and receive an invitation from an elder.

”I know. I ’ll be careful, ” Miaomiao assured Sima Yi.

Although the rules forced all inner disciples to be competitive, Miaomiao only saw the culture as small games for kids. He only cared about the abnormal laws that every inner disciple here cultivated.

Sima Yi glanced at Miaomiao ’s waists and didn ’t see a sword. He sighed and warned him.
