Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Three thousand.

One hundred.

This is a completely disproportionate ratio.

In the living room, six people were gathered around the table in a circle. The only senior brother within the sect was talking animatedly, his saliva flying...

"We must agree on a unified strategy this time. According to the sect's rules, we should support the proactive exchange of jade tokens. I know everyone is very capable, but these are the rules."

"If you don't exchange, others will actively do so. Everyone knows who can counter whom and who can dominate whom. Even if you have sufficient strength, without any preparation, you will struggle fiercely."

"A slight wobble could cause unexpected events. You must take it seriously. These decades pass by in just one go, and missing out would lead to a lifetime of regret, especially for you two!"

"A temporary worker, a labor dispatch!"

"You're still not regularized yet. You must pay more attention. If senior sister doesn't nod, I can't get you into Swordmaster Peak for regularization. These are positions with benefits!"

"Hard work for a few years, happiness for a lifetime, benefiting your descendants. Everyone must give their all..."

Listening, they were stunned.

The girls in the room rarely saw Jiang Feng so serious. Holding a small meeting at home after holding a big meeting outside was standard, given how important this opportunity was for these Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Stage disciples.

Those above the Nascent Soul Stage generally don't worry about cultivation resources. At this realm and below fifty, they are essentially the prime targets for the top influential forces, never mistreated.

Earth Rank magic treasures are good, but they're limited in number. Even if available, they might not suit oneself. The potential increase is limited for them, but the nature is completely different for Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Stage disciples.

Any decent elixir or cultivation technique, even an ordinary magic treasure, can benefit them greatly.

After the opening ceremony, Liu Tangxi returned to her room early, not because she was tired, but because she wouldn't participate in discussions among her junior brothers and sisters. As the Peak Master of Swordmaster Peak, the sect's enforcer, it was impossible for her to show any blatant favoritism.

Although she usually favored this group of younger siblings, when it came to competitions where everyone relied on their skills, she would not utter a single extra word. No matter how events unfolded, she would watch silently from the sidelines, letting events develop as they may.

Thus, led by Jiang Feng, a group sat in the living room, discussing the martial arts gathering, even Lu Luo, seated in a wheelchair, participated in the discussion.

Trivia Fact.

There are now two more names added to the Inner Sect list.

One is Liang Yu.

One is Su Qianlu.

Yes, Liu Tangxi doesn't mistreat anyone.

Since you fell to such a state to save your junior brother, she naturally wouldn't treat you unfairly. Moreover, an agreement had been reached between her and the Fox Clan elder, Xin Yue. Having been taught the mental method, she naturally had to set an example.

Even though they're just registered, they are considered inner sect disciples.

Given Lu Luo's strength, she also had a considerable chance to enter the inner sect. However, now wounded all over, it's estimated that she'll need at least half a year of rest before walking again, so Liu Tangxi straightforwardly registered her under her own name.

"Master is right. The inner and outer sects compete separately. Su Yi and Bai Yu are competing in the outer sect. Master, didn't you meet a group of girls? There are more jade tokens to exchange now, so the possibilities for change have increased."

"Yes, I met a lot outside... What do you mean? They are other sects' senior brothers and sisters, and I was just engaging in friendly exchanges with them!"

Almost got tangled up by Lu Luo's words.

From thirty people, one is selected to enter the inner sect. This ratio is neither tense nor relaxed. Before reaching the main peak, he had slightly investigated the large group of outer sect disciples.

Mostly Foundation Establishment, at least over seventy percent, the rest are mostly lower-grade Core Formation, with mid-grade Core Formation estimated at only about ten percent, and upper-grade Core Formation even less, less than half a percent.

Although this group has broken through to Core Formation, they are mostly older. Those who succeeded in reaching Core Formation below thirty are generally already recruited into the inner sect, and the majority left have average talents, although they still have advantages.

With fifty as the upper limit, the others have longer cultivation time and deeper foundations. Whether it's Bai Yu or Su Yi, they have cultivated for nearly twenty years less than the others, naturally putting them at a disadvantage in a fight.

Bai Yu is actually okay, Jiang Feng isn't too worried. Though this woman doesn't know any profound Daoist skills, she learned some abilities from their own senior sister. A mid-grade Core Formation would shatter just by glancing at her.

Even against someone at the peak of Core Formation, Bai Yu might not lose in a head-on confrontation. What worries him the most...

Is Su Yi with an upper-grade Core Formation.

Su Yi, of Fox Clan origin, theoretically shouldn't be so weak, but there is a significant issue.

She lacks inheritance.

Or rather, after her family's disaster, her inheritance was severed.

Nowadays, she has a cultivation realm but only a preliminary mastery of the Five Elements Daoism, barely grasping one or two. But this is awkward since the water bucket signifies being well-rounded, with no weaknesses, but also means she doesn't have many standout aspects.

Except for her figure.

Back in Qingshui County, Su Yi had discussed this topic with Jiang Feng. At that time, she expressed that she didn't hold much hope for the Nine Peaks Martial Gathering, not because of lack of strength but because such a setting didn't suit her.
