Chapter 33 Outer Sect Exchange Meet

Outer Sect Exchange Meet

“I’ll listen to First Elder’s orders.” Nan Shan lowered his head and hid his emotions.

He heard the First Elder slowly ask him if he was willing to participate in the Outer Sect exchange.

“Heavens! Why can’t this good thing fall into my lap?”

“Put your pillow higher when you sleep at night. This opportunity might be yours in your dreams.”

“He passed the difficult and hell challenges to qualify for this exchange. Why don’t you give it a try if you’re unhappy?”

“I heard that every time the disciples who are qualified to participate in the Outer Sect exchange meet come back, they have a greater understanding of the path of cultivation. Those with high comprehension ability can even directly increase their strength by a small realm.”

“Isn’t that so? He has five elemental spiritual meridians and is qualified for the exchange. I’m afraid that we won’t be able to catch up with him even if we try to flatter him.”

Nan Shan had good ears and eyes. Although he did not know what the Outer Dect exchange was about, he had a general idea after hearing the discussions of the other disciples.

“Thank you for your kindness, First Elder. I will not let you down.” Without thinking, Nan Shan agreed.

The First Elder laughed. Seeing Nan Shan being so decisive, his impression of him improved.

A genius who was talented, hardworking, and even knew how to repay kindness would definitely have limitless achievements in the future.

The resources he had invested in Nan Shan were for two reasons. One was to reduce the obstacles in the cultivation of the rare Five Element spirit veins, and the other was for his own selfish reasons.

If Nan Shan really makes some achievements in the future, it could be considered a good relationship.

After getting Nan Shan’s affirmative answer, the First Elder turned around and said some meaningless words before letting everyone go.

A full seven days holiday, coupled with the Outer Sect exchange meet, the disciples who had heavy homework in the past years were free, so it could be imagined that the Outer Sect exchange meet this time would definitely be the focus of everyone’s attention.

Even if they couldnot participate, it was good to have some fun while watching.

None of the troubles had anything to do with Nan Shan. He politely rejected a few disciples who wanted to get close to him and hurried back to his residence.

After closing the door, he immediately sat

cross-legged on the bed and began to comprehend the nine tribulations mental cultivation method.

One had to know that this was a cultivation

technique that was a hundred times more valuable than the water element cultivation

technique.

Not only did it mean that it was of a higher

grade, but it also meant that one would need to spend ten to a hundred times more energy to master it.

If it was someone else, even if this mental cultivation method was placed in front of them, they might not be able to get started in their entire life.

However, for Nan Shan, it was not a problem at

all.

With the system’s analysis, he could

understand those profound and obscure words

without any obstacles. At the same time, his cultivation speed was also incomparable to

ordinary people.

For the entire night, Nan Shan sat cross-legged

on the bed, not moving at all.

It was not until the sky gradually brightened that he opened his eyes, feeling unusually

tired.

‘As expected of a cultivation technique that is a hundred times more powerful than the water element cultivation technique. If you want to cultivate it to its maximum level, it can be said that you will have to go through nine different trials and tribulations.

‘After each tribulation, one’s strength will

increase by several times. It might even be possible to say that there will be a qualitative

change.

‘It seems that the saying that one can become an immortal after experiencing the nine tribulations is not empty talk. However, cultivation has to be done slowly and steadily. I

can’t be greedy and advance rashly. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial to me.’

Nan Shan made up his mind and activated the nine tribulations mental cultivation method.

The first tribulation was known as the tribulation of knowledge.

As the name implied, the first level’s

tribulation was to change a cultivator’s perception.

All cultivators were born from the bitter

cultivation of mortals. Emotions, greed, obsession, and hatred were things that spanned across a person’s life.

Life was inevitably affected by all kinds of

emotions, be it greed or paranoia, and there would always be imperfections.

These also became ties, the troubles of the

secular world rooted in the bottom of the heart, greatly hindering the road of cultivation. What the tribulation of knowledge required was

for a cultivator to get rid of the thoughts of being a mortal. The difference between it and cutting off the seven emotions and six desires was that the standard of successfully cultivating the first level of the nine tribulations mental cultivation method was to integrate and master it.

Knowing the ways of the world but not

knowing the ways of the world, confirming one’s identity as a mortal, but also understanding the cognitive system of

cultivators, this was the meaning of the Tribulation of knowledge.

‘I’m done for, I ran. When I was in school, I

was pretty bad at philosophy. I wonder if that Outer Sect exchange will give me any inspiration.’

Nan Shan sat on his bed and thought hard for a

long time, but he still couldnot figure out how to pass the knowledge ordeal perfectly. He could only pack up a little and prepare to go to

the Outer Sect exchange meet. Unexpectedly, Nan Shan had just arrived at the main peak when he was shocked by the aura of

the five elements that was drifting in all directions.

At the same time he was sent flying, the Golden Bell shield silently covered him, allowing him to land steadily and not fall awkwardly on the ground.

“Hahaha, I’m sorry, Junior Brother. I was in

the middle of a fierce battle and accidentally injured you.”

A young man with a big shoulder and a round

waist landed beside Nan Shan and clumsily helped him up.

Nan Shan saw that this senior brother looked

simple and honest, and the muscles on his dark skin were exaggerated. He was an earth element master.

“How is it? are you hurt anywhere? I’m Liu

Dazhuang. I apologize for my rudeness just now.”

Liu Dazhuang cupped his fists and bowed to Nan Shan.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s my fault for not paying attention. By the way, Senior Brother, I’m here to participate in this Outer Sect exchange meeting. May I know where the main venue is?” Nan Shan’s spiritual Qi trembled and swept away the dust that had stuck to the corner of

his clothes. He then returned the greeting.

“Sure, I’ll take you there.” Liu Dazhuang grabbed Nan Shan.

Before he could react, he felt his vision blur,

and he was directly brought to the main peak’s

venue.

This was an open and flat land, with some

flowers and trees adorning it. Because the main peak was high enough, clouds and mist lingered around it. Such a scene was enough to make people click their tongues in wonder.

“Little Junior Brother, seeing that your cultivation level is still shallow, this must be your first time coming to the Outer Sect exchange meet, right? Let me tell you, there’s a monster at the gathering this time. I think he

was discovered by the First Elder of the

resource Hall, and he actually has five elemental spiritual meridians!” “We’ve already discussed it. Who cares if he has the five elements spirit vein or not, we’ll have to show him some power!”

Liu Dazhuang was a warm-hearted person and explained to Nan Shan in detail. However, when his words fell into Nan Shan’s

ears, he really did not know whether to laugh

or cry.

Nan Shan hesitated for a moment, then took two steps back.

His senior brother Liu was more than two meters tall, and his entire body was as solid

and heavy as an iron tower. If he were to accidentally get punched or kicked, he would definitely suffer physical pain. “We’ve been cultivating hard for decades, but we’re only at the beginner level, and we can only cultivate the techniques that are compatible with our own aura. On the other hand, the five-element spiritual meridians were born from the mother’s womb, and he

was destined to be a genius. This world is really

unfair!”

Liu Dazhuang grumbled in a low voice.

He didnot know why, but he felt an

inexplicable sense of familiarity towards this

Little Junior Brother he had just met. He was pleasing to the eye!

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s not fair. Since Senior Brother Liu or whatever still has some

matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Nan Shan suddenly saw Jiang Congshuang in

the crowd and his eyes lit up.
