Chapter 37

The once-a-year inner sect trial came to an end.

As the entrance to the forbidden area opened, the disciples of the Divine Will Sect walked out through the light screen one by one.

Many of them had unsightly expressions.

Li Ming and Chen Qingke both had calm expressions.

The group of disciples who had ambushed them but failed wore unfriendly expressions on their faces.

However, there was nothing they could do. They had been tricked in the inner sect trial because they were not strong enough, so they could only suffer in silence.

The elite senior brother said, “In an orderly manner, hand over your storage bags for registration.”

He stood with the other foundation establishment senior disciples in two rows, counting the harvests of the inner sect disciples that had participated in the inner sect trial.

An inner sect disciple handed over a storage bag.

The elite senior brother’s divine sense swept through it and he said indifferently, “Mo Yun, 75 spiritual fruits, 300 spiritual herbs…”

At the same time, he had also took half of these resources.

As the disciples walked by, they compared their gains.

Soon, it was Li Ming and Chen Qingke’s turn.

“Li Ming, 2721 spiritual fruits, four mu of spiritual grass, one spiritual tree…”

“Chen Qingke, 2580 spiritual fruits, five mu of spiritual grass, and one portion of spiritual spring…”

When the two foundation establishment senior brothers said their count out loud, they were also shocked.

Compared to the other disciples, the amount of resources these two had obtained was not just a little more.

If they remembered correctly, these two were a team, weren’t they?

The rest of the disciples all looked at him and sighed.

Only the group of disciples who were lying in ambush were aggrieved. They were only focused on ambushing others in this trial and in the end, they got almost nothing.

The final result was calculated.

Naturally, Li Ming and Chen Qingke’s team of two received the most resources. They were ranked first and second respectively.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Li Ming.”

“Congratulations, Junior Sister Chen Qingke.”

In the arena, the foundation establishment senior brothers all smiled and congratulated them.

The golden core elder could not help but nod at Chen Qingke in a friendly manner.

Within a year of entering the sect, her cultivation speed was unparalleled.

It was especially excellent of her to be able to get first place in this kind of trial.

The elite senior brother immediately announced after the inventory check was done.

“The results of the inner sect trial are out.”

“First place in comprehensive resources is Junior Brother Li Ming, second place is Junior Sister Chen Qingke, and third place is Junior Brother Fang Yuan.”

“The three of you can follow me to the treasure vault to choose a treasure. The rest of you can leave after handing over half of your resources!”

Fang Yuan, who had been selected for third place, was extremely excited.

After the resources that Li Ming and Chen Qingke had obtained during the inner sect trial were announced, nobody had any doubt that they would take first and second place.

In reality, even if Li Ming and Chen Qingke handed over half of the resources, they would each still have more than twice as much as Fang Yuan.

After all, the two of them had worked together and intercepted so many people.

Although they had offended many disciples, if it was based on the huge difference in strength, these offenses might become capital to show off in the future.

After elite senior brother’s announcement.

Li Ming had won first place in this year’s inner sect trial.

Everyone looked at him with envy.

That was first place! Not only had he received so many resources, but he could also choose a treasure from the treasure vault.

Even the word “envious” was honestly not enough to describe what the other disciples were feeling right now.

“Sigh, that guy is really lucky.”

“He’s just enjoying all the hard work that Junior Sister Chen Qingke put in.”

“What is he even capable of? What is he capable of…”

In their eyes, Chen Qingke’s strength was outstanding, and Fang Yuan was also an outstanding inner disciple who had perfected his qi refinement.

As for Li Ming, a ninth-level qi refinement cultivator, they saw him as someone who merely benefited from picking up the scraps.

In particular, some of the senior brothers who had perfected the qi refinement stage were envious of Li Ming. If it was not for Li Ming’s sudden appearance, they might have managed to get into the top three.

Li Ming did not care about the looks of envy directed toward him.

This time, when he and Junior Sister Chen formed a team, it was indeed his junior sister who contributed more.

She had been the one to attract a lot of the firepower.

However, he had at least used his divine sense and thought of such an ingenious plan.

After the other disciples left, Li Ming, Chen Qingke, and Fang Yuan stayed where they were.

The golden core stage elder looked at the three of them and nodded in approval.

These three people were the top three of this year’s inner sect trial and would most likely be future mainstays of the sect.

Of course, Li Ming’s story was a little exaggerated.

However, seeing that he had returned to the path of qi cultivation, the golden core stage elder also held an encouraging attitude toward him.

The Divine Will Sect could not really support the cultivation of a body tempering disciple.

“Don’t move around. I’ll bring you to the sect’s treasury.”

As he spoke, the golden core elder waved his hand.

The three of them seemed to be riding on clouds and mist as the golden core elder flicked his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, they flew past several mountain peaks and arrived at a slightly shorter peak.

When they landed on the ground, they all sighed at the power of the golden core elder.

The golden core elder flashed his token to the disciple who was guarding the treasure vault, and then led the three disciples to the underground treasure vault.

After passing through a path with tall flames on both sides, they arrived at a grand hall that was decorated with pearls.

The hall was filled with the splendor of treasures.

On the shelves, there were all kinds of treasures and magical artifacts.

“This is the outermost layer of our sect’s treasure vault,” the golden core stage elder introduced. “You can choose any item you want and come to me to register it as yours.”

“In the future, you must work hard in your cultivation and not let down the sect’s trust.”

The three of them shouted, “Yes!”

Then, the golden core stage elder walked out of the hall and let them choose.

After the elder left, Li Ming and Chen Qingke looked at each other and smiled. They had indeed gained a lot this time.

Just the half of the resources that they obtained in the secret realm were already a lot.

Now, they even got to choose a treasure from the sect’s treasure vault.

“Senior brother, I see that other than magical artifacts and medicinal pills, there are also some cultivation techniques and secret techniques here. You have yet to choose a cultivation technique yet, so you can go and look through the ones here.” Chen Qingke, who knew Li Ming’s situation very well, gave him a suggestion.

“I’ll take a look.”

Li Ming nodded.

Chen Qingke pointed to the other side. “Senior brother, I’ll go over there and take a look.”

“Sure, let’s split up and look around.”

Li Ming went to another area of the treasury leisurely.

Li Ming walked past the shelves, the treasures on which glowed with a divine charm and luster under the shine of the pearls.

Many of them were magical artifacts suitable for those at the foundation establishment stage.

“The sect is really considerate. However, I’m mainly focused on body cultivation now, so I don’t have much need for magical artifacts.”

Looking at these treasures, it was really too much for the eyes to take in.

Even the treasures in the outermost treasury of the sect were extremely precious to many.

For example, the thousand-year-old ice lingzhi was of great help to some ice-attribute cultivators.

Or the demon-subduing banner that carried the faint sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling and was very suitable for cultivators who specialized in array formations.

Li Ming did not hurry as he looked through the treasures around him. He looked around and walked to the cultivation techniques area.

Looking at the cultivation techniques, all of them were very renowned.

Among them, there were some high-level qi cultivation techniques.

All of a sudden, he saw a cultivation technique that was related to the cultivation of the divine soul, Soul Refining Art!

A cultivation technique for cultivating the soul was not common. He did not expect to replace one here.

Li Ming happened to want one, so he immediately picked it up and read it.

He discovered that there were restrictions under the cover of the cultivation technique, but the first few pages could be flipped through at will.

He took a look and confirmed that it was indeed a cultivation technique for cultivating the divine soul. Furthermore, it was at least a cultivation technique for the foundation establishment stage.

Li Ming was delighted to replace this here.

With this, he no longer needed to go to the scripture depository to try and look for a good divine soul cultivation technique.

Those that could be placed in the sect’s treasury were probably better than those in the scripture depository anyway.

“This is it.”

Li Ming immediately decided that he would be choosing to take away this cultivation technique.
