The Immortal Cultivator System

CHAPTRE 3

It was rare to hear about the Treasure Elder, the old man had always stayed inside his training hall. But what was surprising was not only hearing about him, but also hearing about how he almost died from the mysterious evil energy.

After this event the Sect Elders were all summoned by the Sect Chief for a secret meeting, and no disciples were told what happened during this meeting. Strange, so strange that most students had no interest in doing anything other than trying to figure out what was happening.

That might explain why a Disciple from the Sect brought a lower ranked Disciple with him to do his work for him. He had been assigned by one of the Elders to act as a guide for the new member who showed great promise this time around. For this time the sect did not recruit useless trash, but his disciple was in no mood to deal with this.

Now both he and the lower ranked disciples that he had forced to come with him found themselves in front of a small wooden house.

"Go inside and tell the person what he needs to know. And hurry up with it, he is the last and my patience has been tested those few hours." Said the high-ranking disciple. The other disciple simply nodded, too afraid to speak and opened the door. The two of them were greeted with the sight of Jian doing some very intense physical training. He had tested his new Soul Heritage, and had not expected people to come to this new home.

"Hmm, hi .... Jian, right? I'm here to tell you that you have been accepted as an outer disciple by the sect. You showed incredible willpower during the exam, so the Sect wants you to train to be strong. If you reach the normal level that an outer disciple has in a short period of time, the Sect will be ready to promote you into an Inner Disciple. As an outer disciple you do not have access to many things, except for the Thousand Flowers Forest, which is located only a few hundred meters away from the East Gate of the Headquarters. You can ask for directions to some older students if you need help. That'sthat's all. " Said the student. It wasn't exactly how he was supposed to do something, but he was afraid that the other disciples would be angry with him if he took his time with Jian.

Jian just nodded, a little confused. He did not even know what the Thousand Flowers Forest was.

Seeing that Jian understood him, the disciple said goodbye to him as he and the higher ranked disciple left. Be it Jian or that frightened disciple, none of them knew that the higher ranked disciple named Jin Wang was very surprised when he saw Jian.

'Am I dreaming ?! Do I really feel Soul Heritage ?! There should be no mistake, it was indeed a Soul Inheritance. But it was strange, I did not read the report about him, but it turned out that he took a will test, even though he had Soul Heritage? And he also practiced like that .... Even I won't be able to train so intensely. After all his body was a bit thin, so if he was used to training like that, wouldn't he have to be a little more impressive? ... Too many questions, I don't like this. ' Thought Jin Wang. He still decided to forget about it, because he still had to find out what happened during the meeting.

Now alone again, Jian returned to his training. The Soul Heirloom was actually much more useful than he thought. Pain tolerance was very useful, but the fact that he could train without feeling any fatigue was what made him so overpowered. Most cultivators, at least he thought that was the case, had never trained their bodies. One can become extremely strong even while having a thin body. The physique was seen as insignificant by most cultivators, or at least the one Jian saw. However the system told him that if he continued to train like this, it would greatly help him on his cultivation path. Apparently having a strong body would help him cultivate faster and would also give him an advantage if he had to learn some physical styles.

Jian began to trust the system blindly, so he did not question his words, only following them like a dog.

Nevertheless he could not train forever, he had to explore the territory of the Sect a little. He wanted to know what the Forest was, and also wanted to know if Li Kuo had been chosen. So Jian left his little house and walked down the street until he reached the main courtyard. There are lots of houses around and shops too. Jian could also see some disciples fighting each other in some sort of arena near the gate that led to a higher level of territory.

Jian had some experience when it came to finding information, and therefore he went straight to one of the shop owners, another disciple who made money by selling some alchemy ingredients to another disciple.

"Hello fellow students. I came to you because I needed information. I wonder what the Thousand Flowers Forest is, I'm rather new here." Jian said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Hm .... It costs 5 Sect Tokens." Said another student. Jian was very surprised for a moment, it was evident that the store owner wanted some money in return for the info, but Jian had no idea what the Token Sect was.

"You don't know what that is, do you? That is the currency we use here in the sect. Some tokens are given to students as a salary, but it is not much, and because you are new you have not received a salary. No Tokens, no info. " Said the shopkeeper, his voice turned cold in the end.

Jian lowered his head and left. If he had no money, he would not be able to earn anything, he knew that because everyone in this Sect was greedy. But contrary to his expectations, two passing disciples came to his aid.

“You want to know what the Thousand Flowers Forest is? It was just a huge forest filled with many different flowers used in alchemy. It also has some Beasts, usually we hunt them to become stronger.” Said one of them. Jian looked pensive for a moment before he bowed and thanked his disciple.

He walked away and approached the arena. He wanted to see how the other disciples fought. After all he was not a fighter and wanted to know how strong others were compared to him. The answer is ... Not many. They only used Qi to improve themselves, but did not know any techniques.

Still they were quite amazing in Jian's eyes. He still did not know how to cultivate, so what they did was impossible for him.

[Teacher, cultivation is not the hardest thing. To reach the first step, you only need to meditate and find your Qi Core. After that you just need to absorb the Qi and direct it to your core to become stronger. ]

Jian gasped when he heard this, but then he really wanted to insult the system.

'Why didn't you tell me earlier ?! And don't tell me I didn't ask! '

[You didn't ask.]

"Dian !!! You are here too !!!"

Turning around he saw Li Kuo running towards him, while the other disciples looked at him like he was crazy.

"I think you haven't been accepted because I can't find you around the Outer Disciples pavilion. Although I now thought about it, some of the older disciples told me that a recruit had been sent to live somewhere else because there was no place left in the pavilion. ”Say Li Kuo once arrived at Jian.

"Oh, so that's the reason. Can I take you around this pavilion later? I wonder where the others live." Jian said with a relaxed smile. Li Kuo replied to him and the two of them sat down. They began to watch some older disciples fighting, while others glared at them. If Li Kuo and Jian were closer, they would have already heard what others were talking about.

"The poor recruits, they still think that they can afford to be friendly with each other. Wait until they learn about the Outer Tournament." Said a disciple carelessly while laughing.

"Yes, they would become enemies in an instant when they heard about the competition. Outer Disciples can't afford to be friends with anyone." Said another student.

Li Kuo and Jian were unaware of what was being said, too immersed in their observations. They were actually tempted by the fights between the older disciples. To them they looked like superhumans, even though they were actually too weak to even be useful to the Sect.

Just as they were about to leave, Jian and his new best friend were shocked to see the arrogant old man the other day. He still walked as if the entire world had to adore him while surrounded by a group of fangirls, despite the group becoming increasingly thin.

"So he was there too. At least it proves he can back up his words. He's strong enough to be accepted." Said Jian. Li Kuo nodded and the two of them ignored him until he actually went to the two older disciples and asked them to argue with him.

"Is he crazy?! We are only recruits, we cannot fight older disciples, even if they are only Outer Disciples. Plus both of them were Qi Core Realm cultivators. From what I saw earlier they were most likely Qi Core Second Step Cultivators. Against them it was suicide. " Calls Li Kuo. Jian who was behind him was confused by his words until the system explained what he meant.

[Qi Core is the first Realm cultivator who can access. As soon as one entered the first step of this realm, their Qi core opened and they absorbed the Qi to advance through the other steps. Although some people with extraordinary talent or enormous Core Qi needed to absorb Qi to force open their Core, they did not, which also means that they will open their core in the next step and not in the first step. Usually the only way to do so was to use the Qi Core Realm medicine. Because one should only absorb Qi after opening their core and absorbing it by themselves without saying the open core could be dangerous. ]

Hearing this Jian nodded and tried to understand what he was hearing but a new voice interrupted him.

“That's where you're wrong, recruit.” Said an older disciple who came to sit beside Li Kuo and Jian. Now that he had returned to his senses, Jian could see that the fight was about to start and many disciples had decided to sit around the arena.

" How is what ?" Asked Li Kuo who was sure the arrogant man would be killed soon. The older disciple simply pointed to the arena, just as the fight began. Li Kuo and Jian had just turned their heads so two screams sounded.

Jian's eyes widened comically as he saw the two older disciples handing their bottoms over to them.

"This person is Zhao Shu, the little genius of the Zhao Warrior Tribe. He was already a Qi Core Fourth Step Cultivator. He was already strong enough to qualify in the tournament and become the Inner Disciple. Plus he also had a Martial Spirit called the Purple Hell Butterfly. With this he was already considered a valuable Sect disciple. " Said the student.

To Li Kuo and Jian, time seemed to stop. As they watched Zhao Shu beat the two disciples to death, they were reminded of the fact that not all recruits were like him. Compared to them, Zhao Shu was an elephant, and they were ants.

They both had strong wills, and that was why they decided to make Zhao Shu a goal to achieve. They should be as strong as him.

He was arrogant, and very disgusting. But he was strong enough for them to respect him.

Zhao Shu, as if he knew they were thinking about it, threw the two disciples towards Li Kuo and Jian. He then shot towards them, using everything he had to get as quickly as possible, causing the other disciples to be completely amazed in front of him.

Just as he was about to send the two disciples back with a powerful kick, he and Jian looked up. Lightning appeared between them as they stared at each other. And at this moment Jian decided.

Zhao Shu was now his rival!
