"Oh right, father, I often hear cousin mention the Scarlet Sun Sect. He said that when he was fifteen, he was prepared to join the Scarlet Sun Sect to learn immortal skills.”Since Liu Feixue was bored and couldn't fall asleep, she asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Speaking of the Scarlet Sun Sect, it is definitely the number one cultivation sect in Ganxi County. Even in the entire Qinzhou Province, it is quite powerful. For example, in our Xinglong City, there are only your grandfather and Zhang Hailuo at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, there are at least hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Scarlet Sun Sect.”Liu Tianyu thought for a moment and said.
Liu Feixue was also secretly shocked. She had never left Xinglong City before and thought that a Foundation Establishment cultivator was considered an expert. However, when she heard the strength of the Scarlet Sun Sect, she guessed that her grandfather was not much.
"Father, why don't you go to the Scarlet Sun Sect? Is there a restriction?" Liu Feixue asked again," Also, from Father's tone, it seems that there are cultivation sects that are stronger than the Scarlet Sun Sect. Why did cousin only choose the Scarlet Sun Sect?”
Liu Tianyu smiled and stroked Liu Feixue's hair lovingly. He was very satisfied with his obedient and smart son.
Liu Tianyu sighed and smiled bitterly,""There are currently eight prefectures in the world. The Qin Prefecture is located in the Central Plains and is the wealthiest prefecture in the world. In our Qin Prefecture, there is only one immortal cultivation sect that can be considered the number one, and that is the famous 'Vital Energy Sect', followed by the' Scarlet Sun Sect 'and the' Cold Mountain Sect'. In terms of strength, the Scarlet Sun Sect and the Cold Mountain Hall are basically equal.”
"Since that's the case, why didn't cousin join the Vital Energy Sect, but instead chose the Scarlet Sun Sect?”Liu Feixue asked in confusion.
"This is related to the location of Xinglong City. Xinglong City belongs to Ganxi County, which is a county controlled by the Red Sun Sect. If you don't want to go far away, you should naturally go to the Red Sun Sect in Ganxi County. Besides, the Red Sun Sect has very strict jurisdiction over the county. The so-called government is actually an organization of power formed by the outer disciples of the Red Sun Sect. If you find someone with potential to go to another sect, I'm afraid they will inevitably intercept and kill him.”Liu Tianyu explained.
"So powerful?"
"Yes, but in terms of strength, the Vital Energy Sect is still the most powerful. The Qin Province has a total of nine counties, seven of which belong to the Vital Energy Sect. As a result, they have the thickest foundation and can recruit the most talented disciples every year.”Liu Tianyu said.
"I see. I seem to understand now. In other words, in Ganxi County, the Scarlet Sun Sect is the king and the boss, right?”Liu Feixue asked.
"That's right." Liu Tianyu nodded.
Liu Feixue was excited. In the cultivation novels she had read before, most of the cultivation sects had little to do with the secular world. At most, they would do some business. However, that was not the case in this world. In order to continue the development of the sects, these cultivation sects even controlled the secular states. In this way, they did not have to worry about the end of the generation of disciples. The stronger the sect, the more prosperous it would be. It was really a one-stop plan. It was indeed much more brilliant.
To be honest, these Immortal Cultivation sects were even more powerful than the emperor. After all, they could do more and were more terrifying.
In this case, those so-called cultivation families or small sects were simply unable to compete with these large cultivation sects. The Zhang and Liu families were very powerful in Xinglong City, but they were nothing outside of Xinglong City.
Thinking of this, Liu Feixue had the urge to go to the Scarlet Sun Sect. After all, studying in such a cultivation sect was definitely better than blindly searching.
"Father, how can I enter the Scarlet Sun Sect?”
" This is both simple and difficult. The first method is to pay 100 low-grade spirit stones and become an outer disciple of the Scarlet Sun Sect. If you perform well, you have the chance to become an inner disciple. For example, Zhang Beijun of the Zhang family is like this.”Liu Tianyu looked at Liu Feixue," Son, if you are really interested, when you are fifteen years old, I will gather 100 low-grade spirit stones for you and let you study at the Scarlet Sun Sect. Maybe you can test your true spirit root there."”
Liu Feixue thought for a moment and immediately rejected this idea. Putting aside the fact that 100 low-grade spirit stones was a huge amount of money for a small clan like the Liu family, the miscellaneous tasks that he had to do after becoming an outer disciple would waste a lot of time. If that was the case, he might as well cultivate on his own.
"Isn't there a second method?”
"Yes, the second method is to participate in the annual Black Tortoise Spirit Crystal Test of the Scarlet Sun Sect.”Liu Tianyu sighed. He was obviously confused about his son's future.
"What is the Xuanwu Spiritual Crystal Test?" Liu Feixue asked in confusion.
"The Seven-colored Spirit Crystal can be used to test a child's spirit root, while the Black Tortoise Spirit Crystal can test a child's cultivation potential.”Liu Tianyu explained," Every spring, the Scarlet Sun Sect will set up Black Tortoise Spirit Crystals in various towns in Ganxi County. Then, children between the ages of 10 and 15 will take the test. If they pass, they will automatically be eligible for the Scarlet Sun Sect's preliminary selection at the age of 15. They will go to the Celestial Mountain where the Scarlet Sun Sect is located to take the real test. Once they pass, they will be an inner sect disciple. They don't have to do any chores and can focus on cultivation.”
"So, cousin has already passed the test of the Black Tortoise Spirit Crystal?”Liu Feixue asked.
" That's right. Black Tortoise Spirit Crystals are divided into four grades: low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Generally speaking, reaching the third qi layer at the age of ten is considered qualified, and it is possible for the low-grade Black Tortoise Spirit Crystal to shine. Reaching the fourth qi layer at the age of ten is possible for the middle-grade spirit crystal to shine. Reaching the fifth qi layer is possible for the top-grade spirit crystal to shine. As for the top-grade spirit crystal, it is possible for it to shine only when reaching the eighth qi layer at the age of ten. Your cousin is exactly ten years old this year. He had already tested it in the spring, and it actually made the high-grade Spiritual Crystal light up. Therefore, he had already been selected by the Scarlet Sun Sect. He was only waiting for the age of fifteen to go to the Scarlet Sun Sect to participate in the final selection.”Liu Tianyu nodded.
"Why does it have to be fifteen?”
"I'm not too sure about this. It's said that fifteen years old is a dividing line. There are many geniuses like your cousin who reached the fifth qi layer at the age of ten, but there are very few who can maintain their level at fifteen. However, there was an exception. It was mainly used to light up the top-grade Black Tortoise Spirit Crystal. Regardless of whether you were fifteen years old or not, you could directly become an inner sect disciple. There was even no need for the final selection.”Liu Tianyu thought for a moment and said.
Liu Feixue finally understood why her father couldn't go to the Scarlet Sun Sect. With her father's talent, although he looked quite outstanding in Xinglong City, it was said that he had just reached the first qi layer when he was ten years old. Now, he was already in his thirties, and his cultivation was only at the eighth qi layer. Moreover, it was still doubtful whether he could continue to improve. The Scarlet Sun Sect would definitely not want such a person.
"I heard from cousin that the Scarlet Sun Sect seems to have a Demon Subduing Hall, right? Then what is it for?" Since he had already asked, he would ask everything clearly. He did not know if he would still be free in the future.
"The Demon Subduing Hall is a place that all cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage of the Scarlet Sun Sect yearn for the most. Entering there indicates that you have stepped onto a broad path and will receive the strong support and guidance of the seniors of the Scarlet Sun Sect. You can even obtain a cultivation technique that is suitable for you earlier, or even a life-bound magical treasure. However, in order to enter the Demon Subduing Hall, one had to be at least at the tenth qi layer by the age of fifteen. This was only the foundation. Even if one's cultivation had reached the tenth qi layer, if they were defeated in an actual battle during the entrance examination, they would still not be able to enter. That place was the best place to combine actual combat and cultivation, which was very beneficial to immortal cultivators.”Liu Tianyu had once dreamed of becoming a disciple of the Scarlet Sun Sect and even dreamed of joining the Demon Subduing Hall. Therefore, he knew these things very well.
