Two days had passed...

The news of the outer disciple selection exam of the Beyond Earth Sect had become the hot news of the day in the past two days. That was because, among the more than two thousand apprentice disciples, only a few hundred people had passed the entrance examination to be the outer disciples of the sect.

Those who passed the selection received both resources and intermediate-level martial skills textbooks, including better living than before.

That made people who were not disciples of the sect and the apprentice disciples who did not pass the selection a little jealous of what those who passed the exams received. But even then, those who did not pass did not think of giving up at all. Instead, it motivated them to practice more diligently so that next time they would be one of those who passed.

As for the large and small sects who had heard the information from Zheng-Fu at that time, when they returned to their sects, they immediately brought the matter to the meeting to find an agreement on this matter. The outcome of the meeting was not that different among every sect. That was to visit the Tian-Tang Clan to build a good relationship.

But to visit the Tian-Tang Clan this time, they also had to have a gift with them. And that caused all the sects to have a chaotic movement to find a gift.

In a tavern in a city in the middle of the desert in the southwest of Blueland...

"Did you hear about In-See City?"

"Of course, the news has been so popular. Everyone knows that In-See City is now as big as the capital city. There is also a martial arts training sect called... called..."

"The Beyond Earth Sect!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Beyond Earth Sect… It is said that the person who becomes a disciple of that sect can, in just a short time, become a skilful cultivator!"

"Really?"

"Yes! I am thinking of going to try and apply as well. But I don't know if I'll pass or not."

"Why? Is it so difficult?"

"Of course. Seems that the one who can pass has to have the qualifications that the sect has set. But if anyone fails the exam, they will get some gifts back home as well, to encourage them to come and take the exam next time."

"Wow! I can't miss this. When will they open for applications again?"

"In the next six months!"

"Come on, guys. I will train hard during these six months. Do my best!"

"Tsk! What the hell is the Beyond Earth Sect? Give it a big name... Just a new sect!"

"That's right, Second Senior Brother, it's just a newly opened sect. How can they be compared with our Desert Valley Sect!?"

"I think you should be careful with your mouth. Even if it's a new sect, it seems that the sectmaster is not inferior to our master. Even the elders are of the same level as well. And most importantly, from the reports we received in the past when our people were attacked, In-See City at the time was full of skilful cultivators, maybe even more than in the capital city."

"That isn't true, Big Senior Brother. It was just a rumour. Besides, those who came back to report us are just lame-ass bastards bragging about themselves. How can they be compared to us?"

After the villagers finished speaking, three young men, the direct disciples of the Desert Valley Sectmaster, spoke up. Two of those three also showed insanely insulting expressions. But the eldest of them did not think so because he was the one who was aware and thought a lot about the consequences that would befall them if they played the wrong game.

These three were known as the Three Desert Wolves and were well known to the people in this area for their strength and the ultimate combination attack. Moreover, they had already destroyed many well-known desert bandits' dens. Even if they were not good people, they were not completely bad.

Back to In-See City...

After the Beyond Earth Sect was established, the various clan heads that had moved into Eagle City sent many of their youths into the sect in the hopes that those people would become skilled and famous. Besides, they no longer needed to waste a lot of resources to aid in cultivation like before.

This could be called a two-way benefit, even though not all the youths who were sent to apply to become the Beyond Earth Sect's disciples would be able to pass the tests. And the number of people who passed was much less than those who failed.

For those who passed the test and became the disciples of the sect, most of them would become apprentice disciples first. There were only a few dozen outstanding and talented people who were promoted to outer disciples without having to take the promotion exam.

In the meeting hall of the Beyond Earth Sect...

Today, at the sect, there were many skilful martial arts cultivators from various famous sects who came to visit, causing the inside of the conference hall to be filled with people. And these people also brought various gifts to give for building good relationships. But in fact, they only came to check the strength and collect information about this Beyond Earth Sect.

"I, the First Elder of the Sunflower Sect, brought a gift, 100-year-old fragrant sandalwood, to Sectmaster Dong, sir."

"I, the Second Elder of the Firmament Storm Sect, brought the gift of the Golden Strom Goose Egg to give to Sectmaster Dong, sir."

"Huh! It's just something that can be found in general. The lower sects would probably be able to find just that!" Suddenly, as the representatives from the various sects were giving Dong-Kuang the presents they had prepared, a middle-aged man spoke with a contemptuous look at those things.

You...!

"Is that the Third Elder from the Desert Valley Sect?"

"Why did the Desert Valley Sect even come here?"

"It seems they don't like interacting with anyone, right?"

The representatives from the various sects were gossiping about the representative from the Desert Valley Sect. Everyone knew that this sect did not like having a good relationship with anyone. Then why did he come here today?

And if he came to hand gifts like everyone else, this matter would definitely be big news about how the Desert Valley Sect, who did not like to have a relationship with anyone, came here and did this.

"Why!? You guys think our sect doesn't interact with anyone? The reason we don't mess with anyone is that they aren't worthy of getting to know!" said the middle-aged man angrily, hearing the conversations of representatives from different sects.

"Calm down, Elder. They're just wondering. They don't think badly or anything. Please calm down first. By the way, what gift are you going to give to Sectmaster Dong? May I, Ku-Zhang-Xi of the Rainy Cloud Sect, have a look?" At the same time that the middle-aged man finished speaking, another middle-aged man from the Rainy Cloud Sect spoke up.

"Tsk! If Master Ku-Zhang-Xi wants to see it, then yes. The gift that the Desert Valley Sect brought to Sectmaster Dong today is this one: the desert ivy calabash carafe, which inside contains 100-year-old liquor fermented from fifty different herbs," said the middle-aged man, taking out the calabash carafe with pride in what he had brought.

Huh...?

"Desert ivy calabash carafe!!?"

"It isn't true, is it? Is that really a desert ivy calabash carafe? It is said that this desert ivy calabash only spawned in the Immortal Caves under the desert. In a hundred years, it will only produce one calabash fruit. And its fruit, if used as a container for fermenting liquor, will help make the liquor taste better and also gain energy from the earth element!"

"This is a really rare thing!!!"

Everyone's expressions immediately turned into shock when knowing what the middle-aged man had brought, except for Dong-Kuang, who still showed a calm expression as before, and seemed bored as well. The other people around Dong-Kuang were not much different because these items were not of any significance compared to what Zheng-Fu had.

"Thank you very much, Elder Master, for such a great gift. And thanks so much to the elders for representing every sect. I, Dong-Kuang, Sectmaster of the Beyond Earth Sect, am very pleased. And to express gratitude, our sect also has gifts for everyone."

Clap, clap, clap!!!

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

As soon as Dong-Kuang finished his words with a signal clapping his hands, several young men were holding out small boxes and walked to stop in front of representatives from various sects before sending them to those people and walking away.

"What is this thing?"

Suspicion arose immediately when everyone received a small box. They were not very large, like a ring box, one per person, which filled their minds with curiosity about what was inside. And all of a sudden...

"This is...!!!"

A startled cry rang out after a representative from one of the sects opened the box anxiously and curiously. Then others started to open it up to see what was inside which caused the man to shout out loud like that.

"This is an elemental spiritual stone!!?"

Elemental spiritual stone!!?

When a voice sounded, a second voice followed closely. That made people who had not opened it yet hurry to open their own boxes. They found that within the box they were holding was also an elemental spiritual stone.

"That's right, that's an elemental spiritual stone. Even though it's a bit small, it's a thank-you gift for everyone who came today. And for those who will stay here before leaving, our sect has already prepared accommodation. You can inform our people.

As for those who will leave, Dan-Chun-Gu will send you off," Dong-Kuang said politely and smoothly, but it was hidden with awe and power, which caused all the people to fall into a spell that they could not resist.

"If so, I may have to trouble the Sect Master!"

"Me too!!!"

"Me too!!!"

After that, the representatives of each sect dispersed to rest in the rooms that were provided for them. Those rooms were quite large, suitable for the position, or even maybe too good. And all this had to be thanks to Xiao-Jiang's assistance in finding all the beautiful things to decorate.

Not only the items inside these rooms but also all the construction equipment and decorations, which Xiao-Jiang and Lao-Ying-Ba helped to provide, made everything beautiful like this.

When everyone had dispersed to their rooms, Dong-Kuang and the group continued to have a meeting. Its main issues were to speed up the training of new arrivals to become stronger as quickly as possible. There were many obstacles in training them, but definitely not about resources, because Zheng-Fu had them unlimited.

The main obstacle was the limitation of each person's abilities and background, as everyone had different abilities and talents. Some were good, some were medium, and some developed slowly. Therefore, it was their main topic in this meeting.

Another problem that troubled everyone was that they had never been through an instructional system before, so they did not know how to proceed further. All that they knew was the general training that they had given the people of the Tian-Tang Clan while they were at the clan. It might not be able to be used in the sect's training, even though they were similar.
