Chapter Fifty-One: Distant Anxiety

  Each newly promoted outer sect disciple, after assessment, will have a mentor from the sect to evaluate their strength, talent and performance. Of course, the mentors will not explicitly give specific opinions, the final review result is whether this mentor is willing to accept you as his disciple or not.

  Once a new outer door disciple has obtained recognition from multiple masters, he will have the right to choose.

  It's like Fang Tian Nan and Gu Xiao Fan, who have more than one master willing to take them in as disciples. So, these two can also choose their own masters according to their wishes.

  If you don't have a mentor who favors you, then it can only be determined afterwards by relying on your own relationships or giving the mentor some gifts for accepting disciples. In fact, many outer sect disciples do not receive guidance from their mentors at all.

  Even so, the identity of an outer sect disciple is extremely important for the vast majority of cultivating youngsters. At least, with this identity, the people around you and the social circle you come into contact with are all outer sect disciples within the sect. As long as your interpersonal relationships are not too bad, you can accumulate some cultivation experience passed down by the masters, which is far superior to that of ordinary disciples.

  。。。。。。

  Fang Tiannan defeated Wu Yunbao in the test of new disciples outside the gate and rose to fame overnight.

  It's not that there weren't any newly promoted outer sect disciples who had won against their opponents in the assessment. However, Wu Yunbiao's reputation was loud enough, and his strength was also at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, whereas Fang Tian Nan was a person who relied on accumulating 1,000 contribution points from the sect to be promoted as an outer sect disciple.

  Such a huge disparity and an astonishing result are what made Fang Tian Nan's case sensational.

  After the new entrance test, Fang Tian Nan's reputation had already spread among the outer disciples. There were hardly anyone who didn't know that there was such a person as Fang Tian Nan. Some people admired him, some doubted him, and some were angry with him. In short, people of different identities and powers showed completely different attitudes towards him.

  Fang Tiannan, however, was too distracted to pay attention to this.

  For the entire afternoon, Fang Tian Nan could be said to have spent all his time with Gu Xiao Fan. At first, Fang Tian Nan wasn't quite clear about it, but now he had discovered that his residence was actually very close to Gu Xiao Fan's place. It was probably a coincidence, and since they were both under the same mentor, Wang Ji Dong, they naturally ended up together.

  Through their conversation, Fang Tian Nan roughly understood that Gu Xiao Fan's identity would not be as simple as a newly joined outer sect disciple. It seemed that Gu Xiao Fan had a very wide range of sources for many things related to the outer sect disciples.

  It seems that Fang Tian Nan has already offended the three Wu brothers, and Gu Xiao Fan's side has a lot of information about them.

  "If you think that Wu Yunbao's defeat this time will make him let go so easily, then you are greatly mistaken." Gu Xiao Fan said with a solemn expression, patting his chest.

  "What else does he want?" Fang Tian Nan was speechless. "Is he going to find Wu Yun Cai, or even the inner disciple Wu Yun Tian, to take revenge on me?"

  "This isn't the case." Gu Xiao Fan thought for a moment, then said, "It's not that I'm saying you're not strong enough, but for now, to deal with someone like you, Wu Yun Cai and Wu Yun Tian don't need to take action. You should know, the three Wu brothers' reputation is very loud, and there are many helpers gathered around them. If you think one Wu Yun Bao can't defeat you, then what about three or five of them?"

  "Huh?..." Fang Tian Nan suddenly understood a bit, "You mean to say, they'll gather a few people, then find an opportunity, and together make a sneak attack on me?"

  "Crack!" Gu Xiao Fan snapped his fingers and said with praise, "You're right, but there's no reward."

  It seemed that Gu Xiao Fan had noticed Fang Tian Nan's concern, and he continued to explain, "However, within the sect's territory, which is just this area at the foot of the mountain, even in Qing Yun Town, people like Wu Yun Biao are unlikely to take action against you. What you need to be careful about is when you leave the sect..."

  "For example?" Fang Tian Nan asked.

  "Really?" Gu Xiao Fan was taken aback, his eyes wide with surprise as he stared at Fang Tian Nan and asked, "You don't even know this?"

  Fang Tian Nan shook his head decisively, and even rolled his eyes at Gu Xiao Fan, as if to say, "You think every new outer sect disciple is like you, a 'know-it-all'?"

  "Alright... " Gu Xiao Fan sighed, saying helplessly, "It seems that I need to give you a good lesson. I really don't know if you've ever read the entrance manual for outer sect disciples, or how one advances to become an outer sect disciple..."

  As he spoke, Gu Xiao Fan began to explain to Fang Tian Nan in a bad mood the rights and obligations of an outer disciple of Qing Yun Sect.

  In terms of benefits, because the accumulated 1,000 contribution points from the ordinary disciple period were confiscated, as long as you didn't commit any serious mistakes during your time as an outer sect disciple, such as doing something that harmed the sect's interests, the sect would provide you with some cultivation resources every month. In this regard, almost every outer sect disciple was the same.

  In addition, as an outer door disciple, you can have a free mentor to guide you in your cultivation. Just like this morning, Mentor Wang Jidong told Fang Tiannan that every month, there will be five fixed days when all his disciples will gather together for cultivation. At that time, if there are any questions or problems with breakthroughs, they can naturally ask. Even during the rest of the time, as long as Fang Tiannan can find a mentor, he can also get enlightenment.

  However, Fang Tiannan was temporarily unclear. Except for the time of intensive training, it was not easy to find a mentor.

  Finally, outer sect disciples can use cheaper contribution points to exchange for their own cultivation needs from the sect.

  In terms of obligations, to improve one's own strength and strive to become a inner disciple as soon as possible is the best return for the sect. At other times, unless the leading instructor has a task and needs to go out to handle affairs, the disciples under his hand will also selectively bring a few people along.

  Let's just consider it as a journey of experience.

  It's just that in daily life, each outer sect disciple has a predetermined task assigned by the sect. Such as sweeping the mountain gate, performing sentry duties and so on. They have little to do with cultivation, but are extremely important for the sect.

  。。。。。。

  "Your meaning is, Wu Yunbao and the others will only make their move when I'm on a mission, right?" Fang Tian Nan pondered and said, "But at that time, won't there be instructors following along as well?"

  "You're really stupid." Gu Xiao Fan helplessly shook his head, "I'm asking you, how many contribution points do you have in your sect now?"

  "Zero." Fang Tian Nan honestly nodded his head.

  "What method do you have to quickly increase your sect's contribution points?" Gu Xiao Fan continued to ask, "You know, wanting to go further on the path of cultivation, talent is one aspect, wealth is also very important. Without sect contribution points, you can't even collect some items from the trading market, there's no capital."

  "This can only be achieved by relying on oneself to go out and gain experience, collecting some materials and exchanging them with the sect." This was exactly what Fang Tian Nan did before.

  "That's why I said, I'm quite skeptical if you've read the beginner's manual or not." Gu Xiao Fan shook his head, took out a small booklet from his pocket, flipped to one of its pages, pointed it at Fang Tian Nan and said, "Here, it is explained that outer sect disciples can take on some tasks by themselves to earn contribution points."

  "Oh?" Fang Tian Nan's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

  After a closer look, it's indeed as Gu Xiao Fan said. The tasks inside have some that are issued by the sect, and also some that are issued by inner disciples, or even outer disciples. The types are varied and numerous, such as seeking out elixirs, herbs, minerals and so on. As for the contribution points, they're determined based on the difficulty of the task.

  "Now you understand, right?" Gu Xiao Fan said calmly, "As long as you accept the next few tasks, there will inevitably come a day when you leave the sect's range. So, Wu Yun Biao and the others' chance has arrived..."

  "I said, you think I'm so capable, but I was actually taught a lesson by Wu Yunbao and others." Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but be speechless.

  "What's wrong with that?" Gu Xiao Fan immediately shrunk his head and said, "I'm just kindly reminding you, okay?"

  "Alright, since you're so kind, then help me with something." Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

  "You, you say?" Gu Xiao Fan suddenly had a very bad premonition.

  "No matter what Wu Yunbao and the others do, for me, increasing my own strength is the most crucial. Fāng Tiān Nán thought for a moment, then said, 'And as for me, what I currently lack the most is battle experience, so... you understand.'"

  At this moment, Gu Xiao Fan couldn't help but let out a mournful cry and hung his head.
