92: On the first day of initiation, I became an inner disciple! Who else!!!

By the time Chen De returned to Qing Yuzi’s residence, it was already evening.

Outside, before Chen De even entered, he saw the disciple he was scheduled to meet already sitting there, waiting.

From his appearance, it was clear he had been waiting for a long time.

However, to Chen De, as an Outer Sect Elder, did he have a habit of arriving early?

Seeing Chen De return, the disciple stood up and bowed slightly, “Greetings, Elder Qing Yuzi!”

As an Inner Sect Disciple, in theory, his status was not much lower than an Outer Sect Elder.

But an Elder was an Elder after all; in terms of seniority and rank, they were still one level higher than these Inner Sect Disciples.

Moreover, Qing Yuzi also came from the Inner Sect, and his cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Opening Realm.

Among the Outer Sect Elders, he was considered a relatively high-ranking expert.

If nothing unexpected happened, with his talent, it would be difficult for him to break through to the Myriad Transformation Realm before the stipulated age.

In the end, he would probably have a similar arrangement to Qing Yuzi, coming to the Outer Sect to be an Elder.

So, maintaining a good relationship with Qing Yuzi was not a bad thing.

Suddenly!

Chen De, with lightning speed, did something that this Inner Sect Disciple could never have imagined in his wildest dreams.

Chen De reached out, patted the Inner Sect Disciple’s head, and said with satisfaction, “Not bad, so obedient!”

As he spoke, he didn’t forget to continue his actions.

This extremely humiliating action and provocative words ignited the Inner Sect Disciple’s anger.

“Damn it, you called me here just to pat my head and humiliate me, is that it?”

Just as he was about to raise his head and glare angrily at Chen De!

Chen De grabbed his skull and pulled hard.

Intense pain surged through him, making him want to scream.

At this moment, a thick stream of black liquid surged into his mouth.

Now, he couldn’t make a sound.

He only saw Chen De’s gaze, which disregarded all life.

That gaze was so calm it sent shivers down his spine!

The last thought in this Inner Sect Disciple’s mind before he completely lost consciousness was:

“What is he doing?”

“Is he trying to kill me?”

“How dare he?!”

Unfortunately, he would never have the chance to know the answer to that question.

Under Chen De’s benevolent gaze, this Inner Sect Disciple quickly completed his transformation.

Chen De then shifted slightly and transferred into the Inner Sect Disciple’s body.

The disciple trembled slightly, opened his eyes, and said, “I am now an Inner Sect Disciple!”

And Chen De, because of this, gained a lot of information about Inner Sect Disciples.

He had indeed received some information about the Inner Sect from Qing Yuzi.

But Qing Yuzi had been away from the Inner Sect for an unknown number of years, and the people inside had changed several times over.

Furthermore, as an Outer Sect Elder, Qing Yuzi had few connections with the Inner Sect.

Qing Yuzi’s intelligence was long outdated.

This disciple’s name was Shen Xu, and Chen De learned from his memories about the current power divisions within the Inner Sect and a series of rule changes over the years.

First, regarding strength, among the Inner Sect Disciples, he was truly at the very bottom.

If nothing unexpected happened, his final performance might even be worse than Qing Yuzi’s.

Some of the powerful Inner Sect Disciples were even opponents Chen De couldn’t defeat.

For example, some of the top-ranked disciples had already broken through to the Myriad Transformation Realm.

Unlike the Outer Sect, there was a ranking system for cultivation within the Inner Sect.

The top three on the list were all existences in the Myriad Transformation Realm.

Above Inner Sect Disciples were True Disciple.

In the Tianyan Sect, the position of Sect Master was selected from among the True Disciple.

Every True Disciple had the right to contend for the Sect Master position.

The status of a True Disciple had no age limit; it would not be revoked after reaching a certain age.

Instead, it would only be revoked after a Sect Master was elected from that group of True Disciple.

The remaining True Disciple would then have their status revoked and remain in the Inner Sect to serve as Inner Sect Elder.

Regarding the application requirements for promotion to True Disciple, there were only two conditions.

One was that they must have completed ten years as a disciple in the Tianyan Sect.

The other was that they must have broken through to the Myriad Transformation Realm during their time as an Inner Sect Disciple.

However, those assessments were like a game; there was no need to worry about failing them.

To put it bluntly, it was an opportunity for the sect to implicitly grant benefits through the guise of an assessment.

It couldn’t even be considered a test.

If one failed to break through to the Myriad Transformation Realm during their time as an Inner Sect Disciple, then even if they broke through to the Myriad Transformation Realm later, their treatment would still improve, but they could only remain in the Inner Sect as an Elder.

Alternatively, some True Disciple who were not interested in competing for the Sect Master position could skip the competition and directly serve as an Inner Sect Elder.

The status of a True Disciple, for other Myriad Transformation Realm cultivators within the sect, merely offered an additional opportunity and qualification to compete for the Sect Master position.

Of course, if someone could break through to the Void Union Realm, then regardless of whether they had the True Disciple status, they could directly and unconditionally become the Sect Master.

Those in the top three of the rankings were only one step away from becoming True Disciple.

There was no specific time for the True Disciple assessment, as it was uncertain how long it would take for one to appear.

Generally, applications and assessments could be done at any time.

For those individuals, they only needed to submit a promotion application to the sect to immediately become True Disciple.

The reason those individuals were currently delaying their promotion was because of the upcoming Inner Sect martial arts competition.

The top three would receive five, three, and one superior spirit medicine, respectively.

Therefore, they were eyeing this reward and chose to temporarily delay their promotion.

Because once they were promoted to True Disciple, they would not be able to participate in this Inner Sect Disciple competition.

But if they did participate in this competition, the rewards for the top three were absolutely guaranteed.

Then, upon being promoted to True Disciple again, they would receive another reward from the sect.

This way, they could receive two rewards consecutively.

When Chen De uncovered this information, his eyes turned red.

Five plus three plus one equals nine superior spirit medicine.

This could complete ninety percent of Chen De’s breakthrough stage.

It would have been fine if Chen De hadn't known about this news, but since he did, he had to get involved somehow.

“The treasures of the world belong to the virtuous!”

“Isn’t he, Chen De, virtuous enough?”

These spirit medicines should belong to Chen De; no one could take Chen De’s things away.

The moment he learned this news, a ‘virtuous’ plan emerged in Chen De’s mind.

Chen De dared to say that this method was so ‘virtuous’ that it would definitely get all those spirit medicines into his hands.

Suddenly, Chen De felt as if these spirit medicines were already in his grasp.

Chen De understood that this was the call of those superior spirit medicine from a distant place.

However, Chen De was not in a hurry right now, because Chen De did not intend to use superior spirit medicine during the Demon Spirit Realm stage anymore.

Because tonight, Chen De was going to make a hefty profit from these adorable Outer Sect Disciples.

Chen De estimated that under his series of operations and ‘virtuous’ enlightenment, those Outer Sect Disciples could completely cover all the spirit medicines Chen De needed for the Demon Spirit Realm stage.

Since that was the case, there was no need to waste superior spirit medicine.

Otherwise, once he broke through to the Demon Transformation Realm, what use would superior spirit medicine be to Chen De?

Given this, Chen De would first…
