Chapter 4.1: The Blue Investment!
Profound Sun Sect.
Zichen Peak.
This is where the outer sect disciples receive their sect stipends and undergo their examinations to advance to the inner sect.
On most days, the number of people coming for the inner sect examinations is not high, so the peak is usually quite desolate.
But today was different.
Today was the monthly stipend distribution day.
Tens of thousands of outer sect disciples swarmed the peak.
By the time Li Xun arrived, it was already late, and the number of people had dwindled significantly compared to earlier in the day.
Standing on a platform, he glanced at the two large halls ahead.
One hall was the Hall of Transmission, and the other was the Hall of Examinations.
The Hall of Transmission was where stipends were distributed and where elders lectured and transmitted teachings.
The Hall of Examinations, as the name suggested, was for examinations.
At this moment, there were still people on duty at the Hall of Transmission, but the Hall of Examinations had already activated its protective formation, barring any entry.
“It seems I can’t become an inner sect disciple today,” Li Xun sighed softly and walked into the Hall of Transmission.
Inside, he went directly to a counter. Behind it, an outer sect disciple was dozing off.
Thud, thud, thud!
Li Xun knocked on the counter, saying, “Junior brother, I’m here to collect my sect stipend.”
“Huh?”
The disciple jolted awake, wiping drool from his mouth.
His initially irritated expression softened upon recognizing Li Xun.
Although Li Xun kept a low profile, his reputation was well known.
Having reached the tenth level of the Body Refinement realm within just two years, he was considered a genius.
It was almost certain he would become an inner sect disciple soon.
Who would dare to offend a future inner sect disciple?
“So, it’s Senior Brother Li Xun.”
The disciple’s face brightened with a smile as he fetched a dusty bag from beneath the counter and handed it over.
Then, as if recalling something, he retrieved a few extra spirit stones from another bag and added them to Li Xun’s, before handing it over again.
“Senior Brother, here is your stipend, please take it.”
“Hmm.”
Li Xun nodded, casually taking the bag.
He didn’t comment on the disciple’s actions, as this was a common occurrence.
The sect overlooked such minor incidents, and the unlucky ones just had to accept it.
After storing the bag in his storage ring, Li Xun turned to leave.
“Storage ring!”
The disciple’s eyes gleamed with envy as he glanced at the ring on Li Xun’s finger before quickly averting his gaze.
