The Immortal Cultivator System

CHAPTRE 7

Since Li Kuo was still unconscious, Jian brought him back to the Outer Pavilion. He then went to the shopping section of the Outer Court and sold flowers to a disciple. He wanted to sell the corpse of the beast as well, but as soon as he showed it, a passing disciple put his hand on the table, preventing the shopkeeper from picking it up.

"Hey, I don't want to disturb, yet I see that you have twenty Iron Rabbit corpses and the corpse of the White Demon Wing Bird. You can sell it to our little friend here, or you can give it to me. Said the disciple. Jian was completely flustered, but the shopkeeper quickly threw his face away when the other disciples glanced at him.

[Name: Peng Fu

Age: 26

Rank: Core Qi Step 5

Martial Spirit: None

Soul Inheritance: None

Unique Technique: None

Mind: Greed]

"give it to you? Why would I do that?" Ask Jian. The shopkeeper wanted to tell him that what he said was disrespectful but the other disciples stopped him.

"You know, I am a subordinate of the Inner Disciple named Huang Lei. And he would be very happy to receive the corpse since the core contained within that body could help him in his cultivation. Instead, Huang Lei will treat you as a younger brother, who will give you special status. "The disciple said.

'Huh .... The system? I was a little lost there. '

[Without seeing this Huang Lei, I can't tell you his level. However the shopkeeper looked frightened, so this Huang Lei should be quite strong. The corpses are useless to you, and you don't need that much money as the outer disciples will soon receive their salaries. ]

' Wait what ?! '

[A random disciple you met while walking towards the store said so. ]

Jian was shocked when he heard this, but this meant that he had to accept the disciple's offer. He just wished he hadn't wasted those precious corpses.

"OKAY. I'll give it to you." Said Jian. The disciple looked a little stunned for a moment but he quickly picked up the corpse and placed it inside the spatial ring.

"It's nice to see you have a different brain than the other Outer Pupils." The disciple said before he left. Jian turned to the shopkeeper as he was still a little confused and the shopkeeper smiled at him.

"You're pretty smart, recruit. You know, this guy spends his time doing things like this, and he's not the only one. Strong Inner Disciples like to make small groups of their followers. Yet this Huang Lei was an unknown person, not even a single person knew his strength as he usually kept to himself and he did not have many followers. Last I heard, that man Zhao Shu became his follower because Huang Lei was his family friend. " Sais the shop owner.

Jian was now completely shocked, this was beyond his imagination. He will be a follower of the man who has had a rival as a follower. Although ever since Zhao Shu joined him, Huang Lei should not have been weak, so Jian was pretty sure he did not waste his corpse.

Since he had nothing else to do in the Outer Court, he left and returned home. As soon as he got home, Jian only thought about it ..... Cultivating. The process of absorbing Qi and purifying it was a long and painful process for the Qi Core Realm Cultivators, which was why it was all they did. However Jian could cultivate all the time and had pain tolerance. He had the advantage of a high rank cultivator without being one.

He was confident he could break through to the Second Step before the tournament. At that time he would be getting closer and closer to Zhao Shu's level. Even if Zhao Shu was still much stronger than him. If he could learn Sword Style, he could easily defeat Zhao Shu because he had the Red Sky Broken Sword. Although Zhao Shu had Martial Spirit and most likely had some good equipment.

So Jian practiced for an entire week, effectively breaking through the Second Step. He had stopped after a week since he had decided to train a little with the Red Sky Broken Sword. He also wanted to check on Li Kuo, who must have recovered.

Jian ran all the way to the Outer Pavilion and actually met Jin Wang on the way.

[Name: Jin Wang

Age: 18

Rank: Mortal Realm Half Step

Martial Spirit: None

Soul Inheritance: None

Unique Technique: Three Jades Formation

Thoughts: Curious]

'This person is definitely not someone I can disturb.' Thought Jian.

"Oh yes, you are a lazy man who does not want to act as my guide! I found out when I saw the student you brought with you a few days later." Said Jian in an indifferent manner. Jin Wang was not even angry with this, which added to the shock his followers felt.

"This is me. By the way, I'm Jin Wang, you better remember my name." Jin Wang said before he left. Jian simply nodded and continued running towards the Outer Pavilion.

While his followers were wondering who this Jian really was, Jin Wang laughed like a madman in his mind.

' I know that ! I know there's something strange about this guy! That day I actually felt a Soul Inheritance in his body. And he had already made it through the Second Step. He didn't have heaven-defying talent, but he was quite good. If you add his Soul Heritage to this ..... Hmm I have to keep an eye on this guy. ' Jin Wang thought before he turned to one of his followers.

"Tian Zhou's. This Jian is the Outer Disciple. Therefore, he was bound to spend his time in the Outer Court and the Thousand Flowers Forest. Since you are Elder Hou Fei's disciple, you can keep an eye on the child. If anyone chooses to fight with him, help him if he cannot defend himself. " Said Jin Wang. He only said this as if it was an everyday matter, but his words left his followers completely dumbfounded. In the days that followed, Jian's name must have been on everyone's tongues because Jin Wang was attracted to him.

Meanwhile Jian reached the Outer Pavilion and found Li Kuo's training in the open. For some reason he looked stressed, but Jian was not very aware of it.

"Hey, you idiot!" Shouted Jian. He was a little surprised when some of the older disciples glared at him. Seeing this, Li Kuo quickly walked up to him and greeted him.

“Hei. I didn't see you in the last days. Since you made it through the second step, I guess you practiced like a lunatic.” Li Kuo said, as the two of them sat on the bench.

"Well what can I say, I need to train for the tournament. We both need to be inner disciples. Once we become inner disciples we can accept the mission and have access to some better things, at least that's what the store owner told me. "Say Jian. Li Kuo nodded, even though he looked like he wasn't really listening. He then raised his head and exclaimed.

"Jian, I've been promoted as an inner disciple!"

"..... Huh huh? Can you repeat it? It's like you said you were promoted to .... YOU HAVE?!" Shouted Jian, his voice was so high that Li Kuo had to put his hands on his ears.

"Yes .... Don't ask me how it happened. I think some of the elders found out about the ice block we left behind and traced it back to me. That's a good thing, but the problem is that I'm still weak. I will be bullied by other inner disciples, whom I believe in. " Said Li Kuo, who was slightly depressed.

"yeah! Don't worry about that. I will qualify for the tournament and become an inner disciple. That way I can help you. I also became a follower of some mysterious Inner Disciples. His name is Huang Lei, maybe you can get his help after you step into the Inner Court. "Say Jian. Li Kuo wondered how Jian could become a follower, but he knew the boy himself had no answer.

"Well, I can only hope you join me soon. I have to go to the Inner Palace today." Said Li Kuo. He gripped onto Jian's arm and the two of them nodded at each other before Li Kuo left.

Now that he had seen Li Kuo, Jian decided to return home. The day that the outer disciples would receive their salaries was near, and Jian wanted to slightly train with the sword.

So when he returned home he did just that, only he actually practiced under the waterfall, because for some reason the dirty energy of this waterfall called out to him. He had ignored her while cultivating but now he could no longer.

He did not realize that during the few days he trained in the waterfall, the Red Sky Broken Sword was slightly repaired.

Finally the day arrived and Jian got up early to get to the Outer Court. Once there he saw that many Outer Disciples were standing in rows, not even moving in the slightest as several Elders started to appear one by one.

'So I arrived just before it started.' Thought Jian as he aligned with the other disciples. A few minutes later, all the Elders had arrived and a man Jian recognized started talking to the Outer Disciple.

"You all trained hard during those last months, therefore the Sect has decided to reward you even more. Not only will you receive 500 Sect Tokens, you will also receive a Qi Refinement Pill, and a Third Step Core Qi at that!" Wei Fang said. This is not much for Inner Disciples, but for Outer Disciples it is very useful. A First Step Cultivator could reach the 2nd step instantly if he ate this pill.

Jian's eyes shone when he heard this, although they widened when he saw that Wei Fang's eyes were fixed on him for a few seconds.

' What has happened ?!' Ask Jian. When Wei Fang looked at him, it felt like someone was trying to pierce through his soul.

[He knows you have a Soul Inheritance, he's trying to discover what it is. But he is not strong enough to get information about you as long as you don't want to. ]

Once again thanking whoever gave him this System, Jian focused on Wei Fang.

"As you all know, the Outer Tournament will start in three days. During this tournament if you can reach the Top 10, you will be promoted to an Inner Student. If you can reach the Top 3, you will receive guidance from one of the Gate Elders. The disciple who would become the number one would also be awarded the Qi Core 4th Step Soul Pellet to help him grow stronger. "Say Wei Fang. As soon as his punishment ended, the disciples cheered and he frowned. Since they were too eager to listen again, the Elders left.

As soon as Jian received 500 tokens and the Qi Refinement Pill, he prepared to return home. But a group of older disciples blocked his path.

"Hey, aren't you a follower of Li Kuo?" Ask the group leader. Some of the older disciples laughed seeing this, as this man was clearly unaware of who Jian was. They, on the other hand, are aware because people know to travel quickly but not for everyone.

"What's? His followers, what makes you think I'm his followers?" Jian asked, which earned him a slap from the leader who was a Step 3 Core Qi Warrior.

“Don't pretend to be stupid, you little dog! You obviously became his follower because you were close to him. And you can't be her friend because you're so behind her.” Excited the Leader. Jian frowned, unable to understand what the man meant by this.

"What are you talking about? Why do you think I support him?" Jian asked, which earned him a second slap.

"Are you done playing dumb?! It is easy to see that you are his follower because you are an unknown outer disciple and he is now an inner disciple. Also because of the unique technique he practiced, there were rumors about him becoming a private disciple of the Elder Gate! "
