Chapter 25 - Breakthrough!
Ye Tian Yun had now returned back to his cultivation abode and was thinking about Elder Mu's actions from earlier.
He had wild guesses regarding the turnout of events. In his opinion, he wasn't someone who would repay kindness thousandfold, if this Elder Mu ever came in between his goals, he won't hesitate to take him out.
He sat down and thought of his upcoming plans. Two months from now would be the Inner Court Entrance Hunt.
In his previous life, this was also the event where Fang Chen had revealed his cultivation at 6th Realm of Qi Refining and was promoted to the Inner Court Disciple rank, though his limelight was overshadowed by another person, who against all odds, had become the Number One Disciple Of Outer Court, Xiao Ming.
In mere five months after entering the sect, he had reached the top of the Outer Court with the cultivation of 8th Level of Qi Refining.
He would then make his name as the most talented disciple Gracious Sword Sect had ever produced.
Suddenly, while Ye Tian Yun was lost in his thoughts, a sudden prompt focused his attention in front of him.
*Ding*

*bzz*
At that time, the Qi Gathering Pills in Ye Tian Yun's hands were being refined and absorbed by his dantian.
His refining speed was extremely fast and it exceeded common sense. Normally, it would take at least one month to refine and absorb one high tier Qi Gathering Pill.
However, looking at it now, it was already half-way refined just after just one day, and Ye Tian Yun's dantian that felt like a never-ending cave also had a feeling of being full.
And like this, Ye Tian Yun continued his cultivation for the next two months.
*whoosh*
[Congratulations Host, you have successfully advanced to Third Level Qi Stabilization Realm!]
Ye Tian Yun suddenly opened his eyes, an indescribable expression hung on his face.
"I succeeded. The feeling after breakthrough is the second-best in the world!" Ye Tian Yun was incomparably joyful. He jumped down from the bed, and as he walked around, he sized up his body.
"This is a really strong feeling. Endless amounts of Qi is surging into my body, as though it was going to break through my body."
This feeling was really great to even a genius like Ye Tian Yun. The Qi in his Dantian was very dense and it was beyond imagination.
'It's time for a good show!'
…
The Gracious Sword Sect's disciple recruitment only happened once in three years and every time, it lasted for about a month.
After five months of this recruitment, the entrance exam for the inner court would start. It was called the Inner Court Entrance Hunt!
The exam location was a huge underground palace below each peak. Within the main hall of the underground hall, the number of people went beyond four thousand. And this did not include even a single disciple from other Peaks!
Most of the people there were at the 6th level of the Qi Refining realm because everyone knew that the inner disciple exam required one to be at least in the 6th level to pass.
However, there was also a small portion of disciples at the 5th level and they wanted to try to pass it within the confusion. There were people like that every year, but most of them ended with failures.
They were not mediocre people who trained slowly, and in fact, some of them were even geniuses.
But they intentionally waited until they were at the 5th level of the Qi Refining realm before participating in the inner disciple exam. The reason? For the reward.
When one reached the 5th level, they could start training cultivation manuals.
Cultivation Manuals were very strong attacking methods. Not only could they thoroughly display strength, they could also make people gain power that exceeded the limits of their body.
Because of that, cultivation manuals were very precious, and even the rich and powerful families that had existed for generations didn't have them. That was the reason why all sorts of families had to send their young generations into various sects for cultivation.
In every sect, there were a large number of cultivation manuals, and within the Gracious Sword Sect, as long as you become an Inner Court disciple, you could start cultivating the cultivation manuals.
They were also divided into ranks, and from the weakest to the strongest, there were nine ranks.
Within the Inner court, the best martial skill book was only a rank 3 one.
But, within the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, the top three person to pass it would get a rank 4 cultivation manual
That was why those people would rather train in the outer court and not enter the inner court.. It was for the rank 4 martial skill book.
