23: meeting once again..

—-Zhao wang's sister recently became a core disciple..

....

Li fan and Li xiao found their new home easily, the courtyards were in a weird pattern, but after looking at the numbered houses they soon found their's..

Li xiao happily pushes open the wooden Gate and rushed into the courtyard, there was a medium sized pond in the middle surrounded by flowerbeds, there were even two bedrooms which was enough for both of them..

Li fan and li xiao spent the rest of the day exploring the courtyard, they were both excited about their new home, especially Li xiao, she was very happy to be living in a cleaner place with much more room..

She played with xiao Hong next to the small pond as they then ran around the courtyard happily..

....

Li fan sat on his bed in his room, it was still becoming dark out, and he could faintly hear the sounds of Li xiao's laughter..

Li fan then opened his inventory and pulled out the Soul Purifying pill..

A transparent pill instantly appeared in his palms, the pill gave of a faint smell of magical herbs as Li fan rotated it around his fingers...

Li fan didn't think much and threw the pill into his mouth, after a while he felt a burning sensation in his dantian, then the burning sensation went to his heart, and then to his brain..

The process wasn't painful, but the burning sensation was enough to make Li fan grit in pain on his bed, his new bed was already drenched in sweat..

Li fan let out a soft sound as he felt the burning sensation calm down, it was as if he could see the world even clearer, he could even see a brick on the wall very clearly, if he willed it he could see the small ant sized craters on its surface..

Li fan stood up and stretched, his joints cracked slightly as he stood up, even his knees were releasing cracking sounds as if he had cultivated in the lotus position for days, but it was barely 2 minutes...

Li fan threw the drenched bed sheets to the side and pulled out the books inside his storage ring..

He seriously read every book and gained more information on the sect, to become an inner-disciple, one had to reach the 7th stage of the body refining realm, and to reach the core-disciple status, one had to transcend the body refining realm and reach the heavenly Qi realm..

One could gain contribution points as a outer-disciple, but it was slower than inner-disciples and core-disciples who could take missions and gain a lot...

Outer disciples had to either carry water or defeat beasts around the sect to gain contribution points from the outer sect elders..

Li fan thought long and hard about the sect, the main sect area held many martial art techniques, cultivation pills, and many other resources, there were even delicious meals, but they all required contribution points to be bought...

The value of contribution points in the sect was humongous, basically one wouldn't get by without contribution points, which was why those outer disciple carrying water put everything they had into it...

Li fan sighed, killing monsters was better than carrying water up that long mountain step path, even though killing beasts was riskier, it wasn't as boring and tiring as carrying water up the mountain..

.....

"Goodnight brother" Li xiao sat on her bed with xiao Hong next to her and waved to Li fan, Li fan let out a happy breath as he walked out..

With xiao Hong, he could peacefully cultivate, he felt as if the small bird was getting bigger and bigger, he only noticed this each time he cultivated...

The beasts cultivation was truly liked to his, except he was the one who had to cultivate, while they lazy Phoenix slept all day and ate meat..

....

The next morning, Li fan pulled out some meat from his inventory and made xiao Hong cook it for her, he then bid farewell to them and headed out the courtyard...

While on the way, Li fan heard someone calling his name, he was shocked since he wasn't expecting someone to know his name..

"Brother fan, it's me zhao Wang" zhao Wang shouted as he rushed up to Li fan happily...

"Oh, it's brother wang" Li fan sighed as he noticed it was zhao Wang..

"Brother, I wasn't expecting you to really join the sect" zhao Wang said as he scratched his head in embarrassment..

"Hahah I was only lucky" Li fan laughed..

Zhao Wang only laughed lightly, if he didn't respect Li fan he would definitely say..

"My ass, if you were lucky, doesn't that mean I cheated my way into here?"

...

Li fan didn't know where to go, so he just followed zhao Wang towards the sect gates, they happily talked along the way, many outer-disciples seemed to be going the same way as them..

"Brother fan, in the future I hope you can come with me to visit my elder sister, she recently broke through to the heavenly Qi stage and became a core-disciple, she even offered me a home on her mountain peak" zhao Wang said happily as he felt admiration for his sister..

"Oh?" Li fan was shocked, he hadn't expected zhao wang's sister to be a core disciple, if so then he could leave Li xiao with her when ever he went out somewhere, xiao Hong was strong, but since it's cultivation was linked with his, Li fan didn't know it's true strength..

Li fan was only praying that zhao wang's sister wasn't some cold arrogant beauty..

....

"Brother Fan, we will just have to patrol around the sect, the number of beasts or demons killed will equal your contribution points for the day, demons are stronger though so be careful, the sect also doesn't allow disciples to work together for training reasons, we will part ways here" zhao Wang bid farewell to Li fan and rushed out the sect gates with his huge sword...

Li fan looked at the vast forest before him and sighed before rushing out, many other outer-disciples held weapons as they al rushed out independently...

While others held baskets and grumpily walked towards a large spring near the sect...
