Chapter 265 Outer Courtyard

After coming out, both of them couldn't help but sigh. Cultivation is like this. In the same environment, some people's cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds, while others stagnate for some reason. The cultivation environment of Qingfeng Hall is indeed better, but not everyone can adapt to it. Some people may be stuck for several years because of a small problem and cannot break through.

Every year, the disciples who enter the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard and can break through to the Qi Refining Stage generally break through one after another within the first twenty years or so. After this peak period, the number is extremely small. Because at this stage, many people are over 40 or 50 years old, and their physical fitness begins to gradually decline. Even if they can barely break through the Qi Refining Stage, they have no future in this life, so they give up and are not active in cultivation, just messing around in the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard.

There are many such people in each batch of disciples, accounting for nearly half of the total number. Some of them are too poor to break through, some have delayed time and passed the best age, some cannot afford to buy Qi Condensation Pills, some have something wrong with their elders, and there are more who are simply lazy and have no desire to improve. Because of this, the Miscellaneous Affairs Court has accumulated tens of thousands of disciples.

For example, Ma Hai, who had a conflict with Qingyang last time, barely got a place in the Immortal Gate because of his relationship with Qingyu Sanren of the Talisman Court. However, the resources are limited. Qingyu Sanren is too busy taking care of his own descendants, so how can he spend energy on Ma Hai? Therefore, Ma Hai's current cultivation is all obtained by hanging around in the Miscellaneous Affairs Court for more than 20 years.

There are many people like him in the Miscellaneous Affairs Court. At the age of more than 40, he has no competitiveness. If he can get a Qi Condensation Pill in a short time, he may be able to go to the outer courtyard. Otherwise, he can only hang around in the Miscellaneous Affairs Court until he dies.

Of course, Mu Leng and Sang Qinglan are still young, and there is still a lot of time in the future. No one can guarantee that they will not be able to break through. After sighing, the two came to the main hall of the Miscellaneous Affairs Court, found Senior Brother Ding Sijinding who was responsible for the daily management of the disciples, and reported their breakthrough to the Qi Refining Stage.

It has been more than three years since Qingyang and Lu Dingshan entered the sect. Every three years, hundreds of new disciples will enter the errand hall. A group of new people joined in the past few months. Now they are no longer new disciples.

Among the errand disciples who entered the sect, Qingyang and Lu Dingshan, although they are not the fastest to break through the cultivation, they are also very advanced among the hundreds of disciples. No more than 20 people are faster than them. Such disciples may not be worse than themselves in the future, so Senior Brother Ding is very polite to them.

Especially when he checked Qingyang's information, he saw that Qingyang only took more than three years to break through from the sixth level of Kaimai Realm to the Qi Refining Stage. He is only 19 years old this year, which shocked him greatly. Such a speed is rare even among the direct descendants of the heads of various academies. Could it be that this kid is also the illegitimate son of a certain academy master?

In any case, these two people have a promising future and their future achievements will not be lower than theirs. If the opportunity comes, it is not impossible for them to break through to the foundation building stage. So Senior Brother Ding did not dare to neglect it, and quickly registered the two of them, and then personally led them to the outer courtyard of Qingfeng Hall.

The outer courtyard is also on this hill, not far from the errand yard, just over an hour's journey. Ding Sijin brought Qingyang and Lu Dingshan and soon arrived at the outer courtyard.

The environment of the outer courtyard is better than that of the errand yard. The size of the courtyard here is at least two or three times that of the errand yard. It has all the functions it should have, and it is more complete.

The number of outer courtyard disciples of Qingfeng Hall exceeds 6,000, which is not much less than that of the errand yard, so the entire outer courtyard occupies a much larger area than the errand yard, and it looks much more spectacular. The spiritual energy around the outer courtyard is rich, which is better than the cultivation environment of the errand yard.

The layout of the outer courtyard is similar to that of the errand yard. The main hall of the outer courtyard is also in the middle, and outside are layers of small courtyards where the outer courtyard disciples live. The only difference is that the deacons and stewards who handle the sundries in the main hall here are all uncles in the foundation-building period. Yes, the outer courtyard disciples are already in the Qi Refining stage. If they are managed by some Qi Refining cultivators, they may not be able to control them.

The person in charge of the daily management of the outer courtyard disciples is a senior uncle named Deng. Senior Brother Ding took Qingyang and Lu Dingshan to Senior Uncle Deng before leaving.

Senior Uncle Deng is also familiar with this kind of thing. He first briefly introduced some of the treatment and routine details of the outer courtyard to them, and then gave each of them a lot of things.

The most important of them is the identity token of the two people, from menial disciples to outer courtyard disciples, and the second is a jade talisman, which is a token of the Transmission Institute. With this thing, you can go to the Transmission Institute to choose a Qi Refining stage or above. This is the only free opportunity. If you need it in the future, you can only spend spirit stones to buy it yourself.

In addition to these things, there is also a control talisman for the formation outside the small courtyard, and the first year of benefits after becoming an outer courtyard disciple is four spirit stones and four Qi Gathering Pills used to improve cultivation.

This amount is certainly not enough for a Qi-refining cultivator, but the sect has 6,000 outer disciples alone, and all the resources needed added up to a huge number, so the sect can only guarantee some of the most basic needs. If that is still not enough, you will need to take on some outer sect missions yourself, or find other ways to earn money.

After doing all this, Qingyang and Lu Dingshan will be the outer courtyard disciples of Qingfeng Hall in the future. The situation in other aspects of the outer courtyard is similar to that of the errand courtyard. The two went together to collect some common living supplies, and then returned to their own courtyards.

The area of ​​this courtyard is two or three times larger than that of the errand courtyard, and the layout inside is more exquisite. This courtyard not only has those basic functions, but also has some special rooms, such as a training ground, a pill room, etc., and even a place for feeding spirit beasts.

It is true that the higher the cultivation, the better the treatment. Such a courtyard is almost catching up with the manors of the wealthy in the secular world. However, for cultivators, these are all external things, and cultivation is the foundation. If you pay too much attention to these external conditions, you will sooner or later lose yourself in enjoyment.

Qingyang is used to a hard life, so he will not be confused by these external things. He took his things into the house and settled down in this courtyard.

Looking at this courtyard that belongs to him, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh that he was also a Qi-refining cultivator, and had become an outer disciple of Qingfeng Palace. From then on, he had a place in this immortal sect.
