23: Chapter 23 True Inheritance Benefits
Just as Chu Feng shattered the bronze mirror...
On the Dao of Talismans Leaderboard of the Duobao Immortal Tower, which could only be viewed by one person, a name quietly appeared.
Duobao Dao of Talismans Leaderboard.
First Place: Chu Feng. [Reward: Thunder Dragon Bloodline.]
Second Place: Daoist Duobao.
Third Place...
Duobao Sect, Duobao Peak, Duobao Hall.
"This boy's talent in the Dao of Talismans is too monstrous; he must be protected."
After Daoist Duobao finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and sent out a message.
...
"What? He reached Foundation Establishment?"
Inside the main hall, Tang Yanrou was shocked once again.
Although she had also passed the assessment and reached Foundation Establishment,
she was originally at Qi Refinement Perfection; even without a reward, she could have reached Foundation Establishment very quickly.
But what about Chu Feng?
He was only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement before.
To go directly from the seventh level of Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment—what kind of Opportunity reward did he receive?
Just then.
The purple-robed Cultivator Luo Feng appeared at the entrance of the passage.
His gaze swept over the three people in the hall.
That's right, only three people passed the True Disciple assessment this time.
When his gaze fell on Chu Feng and he sensed his aura, his eyebrows jumped violently, and he was secretly alarmed: 'Second level of Foundation Establishment? How many points did this candidate actually get? Could it be ninety points?'
Luo Feng never expected that,
in the assessment he was responsible for this time, there would be such a Genius with incredible talent in the Dao of Talismans!
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Luo Feng spoke, "A True Disciple of Duobao Pavilion is, in the end, just a title."
"You were able to stand out through layers of assessments, so your natural talents are all extraordinary. Today I ask you: are you willing to officially join the Duobao Sect and become a member of the True Disciples?"
His gentle voice echoed slowly through the main hall.
The male Foundation Establishment Cultivator hardly hesitated, bowing as he responded in unison: "This Disciple is willing!"
Tang Yanrou also followed with a crisp voice: "This Disciple is willing."
Then, everyone's gaze converged on Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not dare to delay and hurriedly spoke: "This Disciple is willing."
*Whoosh—*
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, Luo Feng flicked his sleeve, and three soft light orbs appeared out of thin air, slowly floating in front of the three of them.
"This is the Duobao Sect true disciple jade token; it not only represents your status within the Duobao Sect but also has many uses."
"Becoming a True Disciple of the Duobao Sect is only a new starting point on your path of cultivation. Remember to guard against arrogance and rashness. The world is vast; I hope you maintain your original intentions and go further and more steadily on the immortal path."
"Alright, all of you sit down. Since you have just become True Disciples, you must have many questions. You may ask them now."
The male Foundation Establishment Cultivator was the first to stand and ask, "Senior, may I ask what the treatment for a True Disciple is, and what responsibilities we need to undertake?"
Chu Feng also immediately pricked up his ears.
This information concerned his future cultivation in the Duobao Sect; he could not afford to be careless with a single word.
Luo Feng slowly said, "The treatment for a Duobao Sect True Disciple is far beyond what a Guest Elder can compare to. Before you came for the assessment, you must have heard some rumors."
After speaking, he flipped his palm, and three streaks of white light emerged from his palm.
Three Jade Slips suspended in the light then gently floated onto the table in front of Chu Feng's group, making a soft "click."
"These Jade Slips contain detailed records of the True Disciple treatment and related rules."
"Look over them carefully after you return and make sure to memorize them. For now, I will pick a few core benefits to tell you about."
At this point, Luo Feng's expression turned solemn, and his tone gained a bit more majesty: "Duobao Pavilion is an industry of the Duobao Sect, spread across the five continents and four seas, with a profound Foundation."
"Although you have just become True Disciples and your cultivation is still shallow—the highest being only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment—your current status is equivalent to that of a Golden Core Pavilion Master of a branch pavilion."
"Therefore, the contribution points and benefits you receive each year are also issued according to the specifications of a Golden Core Pavilion Master."
As soon as these words were spoken,
Chu Feng's breathing hitched.
The male Cultivator at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment next to him showed an even greater look of wild joy.
A Golden Core Pavilion Master!
That was not something an ordinary Golden Core Immortal Master could compare to.
The resources such a figure could obtain every year could be described as massive.
To be able to enjoy the same treatment just after becoming a True Disciple was simply a joy from the heavens.
Compared to Chu Feng and the other man,
Tang Yanrou's expression was calm, her face showing no ripples; she clearly knew this already.
Luo Feng took in everyone's reactions and continued, "Second is the resource purchase authority."
"All resources in the Duobao Pavilion treasury, except for a few restricted treasures and forbidden techniques, can be purchased by you, whether they are healing Medicinal Pills, rare Materials, high-Rank Magic Treasures, or top-tier Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals."
"They can be exchanged not only with contribution points but also with Spirit Stones or other Heaven And Earth Treasures, without being restricted by contribution points."
"Third concerns the safety of your cultivation, which is particularly important."
"As a True Disciple, as long as your cultivation has not reached the Golden Core Realm, you can apply for a dao protector."
"A dao protector is at least at the Golden Core Stage, sufficient to deal with most dangers on the path of cultivation. Only after you Breakthrough to the Golden Core and your Foundation is stable will the dao protector's mission be considered complete."
"Fourth is travel convenience. You can ride all flying boats of Duobao Pavilion traveling between the five continents and four seas for free with your true disciple jade token, without needing to report. If there is an urgent matter, you can also directly call upon a corresponding flying boat within your own authority."
Chu Feng was a bit dazed, Luo Feng's words echoing repeatedly in his mind, feeling as if everything was a dream.
The other Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was so excited that his body trembled slightly and his breathing was rapid; he was clearly lightheaded from this overly generous treatment.
Just then.
Tang Yanrou, who had been quiet, suddenly looked up, her spiritual eyes blinking as she broke the silence: "Elder Luo, could you tell me the True Disciple Rank I obtained from the assessment?"
Hearing this, Chu Feng also looked at Luo Feng, his eyes showing confusion and a bit of helplessness.
He never expected that True Disciples were also divided into Ranks.
If Tang Yanrou hadn't asked, he probably would have been kept in the dark the whole time.
The waters of Duobao Pavilion were indeed deeper than he had imagined.
Luo Feng smiled and looked at Tang Yanrou, saying, "Little girl, you know quite a lot."
"Alright, let me tell you all about it."
"Duobao Sect True Disciples are divided into four Ranks, corresponding to Yellow-Rank Disciples, Black-Rank Disciples, Earth-Rank Disciples, and Heaven-Rank Disciples."
"Generally speaking, those who pass the assessment are Yellow-Rank Disciples. Only if the assessment results are particularly outstanding is it possible to become a Black-Rank Disciple."
"In recorded history, over tens of thousands of years, those who could directly become Black-Rank Disciples number fewer than a hundred."
"Therefore, all three of you are merely Yellow-Rank Disciples."
While speaking, Luo Feng subconsciously looked at Chu Feng, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Logically, to receive a reward that caused one's level to soar from the seventh level of Qi Refinement to the second level of Foundation Establishment, his assessment score must have been very high.
He could almost have become a Black-Rank Disciple.
However, the higher-ups had given them all the uniform status of Yellow-Rank Disciples.
Of course, Luo Feng could only bury this doubt in his heart.
"Then how should we promote from Yellow-Rank?" Tang Yanrou nodded slightly and then followed up with a question.
Luo Feng shook his head with a smile, his tone carrying a bit of mystery: "The method of promotion cannot be explained in a few words, and besides, it is too early to tell you now."
"When you return here in the future, you will naturally know. Even if I explained it in detail now, you might not understand, and it would instead easily distract you and hinder your cultivation."
"Are there any more questions?"
