72 Advancement to the Inner Sect

Spring passed and autumn came.

Three years passed in a flash.

Under the setting sun, the afterglow shone on the mountain path, as if it had draped an orange gauze over the mountain rocks and steps. It added a hint of holiness. It was as if walking on it and stepping on the sunlight could lead to glory. Just like Xiao Shi and the others, who were led up the mountain by the sect’s elder.

After three years of service, these night patrollers with 20,000 contribution points would enter the upper sect today and officially become inner sect disciples of the Red Tiger Sect.

The Red Tiger Sect was built on Nanlie Mountain. With the mountainside as the boundary, it formed a dividing line that divided the entire sect into upper and lower sects. The outer sect disciples were all in the lower sects below the mountainside. Only inner disciples and core disciples were qualified to enter the upper sect.

It could be said that the upper sect was the core position of the Red Tiger Sect.

Under the lead of the sect elder, Xiao Shi and the others followed the mountain stairs. The trees on both sides of the mountain path were covered in shade. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, causing the leaves to sway. There were also birds chirping softly. It was as if they were congratulating them.

“We’re finally up the mountain.” Yang Zhen, who was walking with Xiao Shi, looked excited.

From outer sect disciples to night patrollers to inner sect disciples, this advancement process was not easy. Especially for ordinary night patrollers like them. Usually, less than one-fifth of the night patrollers in Team D could gather twenty thousand contribution points in three years.

If he did not have enough contribution points and could not advance to an inner sect disciple, he could only continue to stay in the Night Patrol Division as a night patroller.

To most people, their goal was naturally to become inner sect disciples.

Not only was the position of an inner sect disciple higher in the Red Tiger Sect, but they were also valued by the sect. They would have more time to cultivate and not have to carry out missions every ten days like the night patroller.

Of course, most importantly, only by becoming an inner sect disciple could he obtain the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm from the sect.

Some night patrollers had even reached the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level. However, they could not obtain a way to break through to the Qi Martial Realm and could only stay at the Martial Entry-Level for the rest of their lives.

“From now on, we will no longer be night patrollers but inner sect disciples of the Red Tiger Sect!” Wang Changhuan was also very excited. However, after looking at the figure walking in front of Xiao Shi, he smiled and said, “Of course, the captain will be an even more powerful core disciple!” 𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

The captain he was talking about was no longer the narrow-eyed man from before.

A year after Xiao Shi and the others became night patrollers, the narrow-eyed man had already reached his three-year tenure. It was said that he had directly advanced to become a core personal disciple.

At the same time, the captain of Team A, the purple-haired woman, advanced with the squinty-eyed man. As for the captains of the other two teams, they were all people who could no longer advance to the inner sect and would always be night patrollers.

After the squinty-eyed man advanced, the captain of Team D was also replaced by Cen Qingci!

Originally, Cen Qingci could have been the captain of Team A. However, she did not like the atmosphere of Team A. She preferred Team D’s leisurely (salted fish) life. Hence, she decisively chose to be the captain of Team D.

Xiao Shi was Cen Qingci’s close brother. After Cen Qingci became the captain of Team D, his life naturally improved greatly. In terms of missions, he could accept any mission he wanted.

Life was very comfortable.

Even Yang Zhen, Wang Changhuan, and the others beside him were all under his care. They had been living very well in the past two years.

Now, as they walked forward, they passed through the mountain gate. They had successfully arrived at the Red Tiger Sect’s upper sect!

The entire upper sect was much more imposing than their previous lower sect. Pavilions and buildings sat in an orderly manner. Under the illumination of the setting sun, it was quite flavorful.

An inner sect disciple in red had been waiting here for a long time. He bowed respectfully to the elder who had led Xiao Shi and the others here. “Greetings, Elder.”

The elder who had brought Xiao Shi and the others nodded slightly. “Cen Qingci, follow me. You can arrange the rest.” After saying that, he brought Cen Qingci away alone. This time, Cen Qingci would be directly promoted to a core disciple. Naturally, her treatment would be different from inner sect disciples like them.

“Junior Brothers, please follow me.” This inner sect disciple in charge of receiving Xiao Shi and the others had a square face and a medial-class figure. His surname was Su. He led everyone into the sect.

He explained to everyone. “From now on, you will no longer be night patrollers, but inner sect disciples of our Red Tiger Sect. Now, I’ll tell you the rules of the upper sect and what inner sect disciples need to do.

“There are not many rules in the sect. The main thing is that killing is prohibited. You have to remember this. Every inner sect disciple is extremely valued by the sect. If there’s a conflict with the other disciples, you can get the sect to mediate. Remember not to fight. This is the greatest taboo of the sect.”

Xiao Shi and the others nodded. They had long known that the sect’s attitude towards inner sect disciples and night patrollers was different.

So what if the night patroller died? The sect had never cared about the life and death of the night patroller. Only a genius like Cen Qingci would attract the attention of the sect. They would not care about ordinary night patrollers.

However, inner sect disciples were extremely important talents to the sect. They were also someone the sect focused on nurturing. Every one of them was very important. The sect would never allow inner sect disciples to kill each other.

“There’s not much for what inner sect disciples need to do. There’s only one thing. That’s… cultivate!” The inner sect disciple surnamed Su continued. “Although there are missions in our upper sect, these missions are not mandatory. Just like the missions in the lower sect, you can accept them freely.

“However, before accepting the mission, the sect will first evaluate if you have enough strength to complete the mission. If the evaluation doesn’t pass, you won’t be able to accept the mission. For example, Martial Entry-Level inner sect disciples like you who have just entered can’t accept missions. This is also a form of protection for inner sect disciples from the sect.”

Xiao Shi and the others had an indescribable feeling about this.

They felt that the sect treated the night patrollers and inner sect disciples like their own sons and wild children. The difference was too great!

The night patrollers had to complete a mission every ten days. Regardless of whether they had the ability to complete it, they had to do it.

If inner sect disciples wanted to accept missions, the sect would first evaluate them based on their strength. If the sect felt that they were not strong enough, they would not let them accept missions. They’re afraid they’ll die out there.

Such a difference made everyone a little uncomfortable. After all, they had been night patrollers for three years. Now that they had just turned from wild children to biological sons, they were a little flattered by this treatment.

“Actually, that’s normal.” The inner sect disciple surnamed Su seemed to know what everyone was thinking and smiled. “The night patroller is actually a test and screening by the sect. Only by passing the test and passing the screening can the sect nurture the elites.”
