Under Tang Tian's insistence, a one-year contract was signed with Gu Xiaoxue at a price of one billion spirit jade per month.

Tang Tian entrusted the remaining procedures to Li Hong, so he didn't have to go there himself.

He didn't want to see Zhongyang, that greedy guy with ill intentions.

After the transaction was completed, 12 billion yuan was deposited into Tang Tian's account, and he also gained 1.2 million consumption points.

It's good to have a win-win situation.

Tang Tian was very happy.

Gu Xiaoxue also seemed very happy.

Of course, with over 10 billion spirit jade, it was enough for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to smoothly cultivate to the Transcending Tribulation stage.

After everyone was happy, Tang Tian returned to his previous life.

That night, he used 1 million consumption points to exchange for a seventh-grade physique.

Crane Physique.

This physique didn't give Tang Tian any inherited secret techniques, but it had some traits exclusive to cranes.

The most obvious one was a stronger affinity with nature, making cultivation easier and further increasing Tang Tian's cultivation speed.

After a few days, his cultivation at the early stage of Foundation Building had completely stabilized and was steadily advancing towards the mid stage of Foundation Building.

A few days later, Prince Yu came to visit.

Tang Tian warmly invited him in, and the two chatted about interesting things happening in the sect.

After seeing the two sisters, Lan Yu and Lv Zhu, Prince Yu praised, "Tang brother, your taste is as excellent as ever."

Tang Tian didn't deny it. The more the outside world's perception deviated from reality, the safer his situation would be.

"So this is what Purple Bamboo Courtyard looks like."

Prince Yu sighed, "Tang brother, I have to say, you've hit the jackpot."

"Just this Nianquan Ancient Well alone is worth more than the price you paid."

Tang Tian was stunned, "Then why didn't anyone rent it before?"

Prince Yu smiled and said, "Purple Bamboo Courtyard has only recently opened, and few people know the specific situation inside."

"Those who do know are not very interested; they have better places."

"And I guess many people didn't expect Nianquan Ancient Well to have grown to its current state."

Tang Tian rubbed his chin, "From what you're saying, it seems like you know a lot about Purple Bamboo Courtyard?"

Prince Yu nodded, "I heard about it by chance before."

"This Purple Bamboo Forest actually belonged to a person named Zhulin Daoist. He planted each of those purple bamboos outside."

"Purple Bamboo Courtyard was also built by him, and he has been living here in seclusion."

Tang Tian frowned slightly, "What about him?"

Prince Yu sighed lightly, "He's dead."

"Over a hundred years ago, he died in the midst of power struggles."

"Later, Qingyue Sect sealed off this place until recently when it was just opened to the public."

Tang Tian fell silent.

He never expected Purple Bamboo Courtyard to have such a history.

That Zhulin Daoist must have been a person who sought peace, as can be seen from the layout inside Purple Bamboo Courtyard, which exuded a strong worldly atmosphere.

Clearly, it was meant for enjoying one's later years.

Such a person could actually die in the midst of power struggles.

It's really lamentable.

"You know all these things too?"

Tang Tian was somewhat surprised.

After these two encounters, he found that Prince Yu seemed to be an all-knowing person, able to talk about anything.

"I'm interested in ancient things."

Prince Yu smiled, "Cultivation is also a way of life. Although it seems detached, it cannot be separated from the realm of life."

"If you cultivate diligently every day, you will lose the joy of life."

"Occasionally going out and seeing the outside world is also a special kind of cultivation."

Tang Tian was taken aback. He didn't expect Prince Yu to say such philosophical words.

Of course, everyone has their own understanding of cultivation. Some people like the hustle and bustle, while others prefer to cultivate alone. It's not necessarily about who is right or wrong.

Just focus on doing one's own thing.

"By the way, there will be some excitement in the sect in a few days. Tang brother, do you want to go and take a look?"

Prince Yu asked.

Tang Tian was stunned, "What exciting event?"

Prince Yu shook his head, "You really don't know anything that's happening outside, do you? The first internal disciple assessment of the year is about to begin. I heard it's going to be intense. Don't you know?"

Tang Tian couldn't help but be surprised.

He really didn't know about this.

The internal disciple assessment of the Qingyue Sect takes place four times a year.

Once at the end of each season, in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

This is one of the most lively events in the Qingyue Sect. Whenever this time comes, many elders and disciples go to watch, not only to enjoy the spectacle, but also to see if there are any talented disciples worth paying attention to.

They are the future of the sect.

Thinking of this, Tang Tian couldn't help but think about his own status in the sect, still an outer disciple.

After breaking through the Foundation Building stage, he can participate in the internal disciple assessment.

"Tang Xiong, aren't you interested?" Prince Yu asked when he saw Tang Tian's silence.

Tang Tian smiled and said, "I'm actually not very fond of joining in the excitement."

"But you're right, occasionally going out for a walk is also a special kind of cultivation."

Prince Yu immediately laughed, "That's right, what's the point of staying at home all day?"

"Although those disciples are only at the Foundation Building stage, it's quite interesting to watch them fight. Maybe you can find some good talents for yourself."

Tang Tian touched his nose.

"If that's the case, then I should be the one being watched."

Prince Yu: ...

That's right, Tang Tian decided to participate in the internal disciple assessment.

Although relying on his status as an honorary disciple has already given him a position far superior to that of an internal disciple, he has an inexplicable obsession in his heart. Honorary status is all virtual, only internal and core disciples are real identities.

"Sorry, I don't really know your true strength."

Prince Yu said awkwardly.

Tang Tian smiled and said it didn't matter, then he asked him about the specific details of the assessment.

The internal disciple assessment of the Qingyue Sect is divided into five major areas: East, West, South, North Peaks, and the Main Peak, which are unrelated to each other.

This is because there are too many people participating in the assessment, and it's better to separate them. The competition for future core disciples will be held together.

Tang Tian is located at the foot of the South Peak, so if he participates, he will be assigned to the South Peak area.

The content of the assessment is different every year. According to Prince Yu, the assessment project for the spring season in the South Peak this year is called the Battle for Flags.

They have designated a very large area and placed various flags within this area.

As long as one can successfully defend their own flag before the assessment ends, they will pass the assessment and be promoted to an internal disciple.

"There are four types of flags: copper, silver, gold, and king."

"Each type of flag can promote one to an internal disciple, but the additional rewards represented by different flags are different."

"Copper flags are the worst, king flags are the best."

"Moreover, the better the flag you obtain, the more attention you will receive from the sect. It is even possible for some powerful elders to accept you as a direct disciple on the spot."

Prince Yu explained.

Tang Tian nodded silently. This rule can effectively distinguish the strong from the weak, and the process will definitely be intense.

"Do you have any goals, Tang Xiong?" Prince Yu asked with a smile.

Tang Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Can we use special means?"

If it can be solved with money, then anything is fine.

If not, then just get a copper flag and pass the assessment.

Prince Yu understood Tang Tian's meaning and shook his fan, "According to the rules, forming groups is not allowed."

"But I believe that where there are great rewards, there will be brave men."

"But Tang Xiong, you should be prepared. There is only one king flag, and it will be quite difficult to obtain it without paying a sufficient price."

Tang Tian suddenly laughed.

"That's good."

"Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem."

Prince Yu laughed helplessly.

He could already imagine what kind of scene the upcoming internal disciple assessment would be.
