【Task】:
Sign in on the Baiyang Peak Platform.
Reward: 500 gold, 100 prestige, 20 daily achievement points, unlock filial piety daily task
Suo Ya didn't expect this daily reward would be so generous, turned out to be 100 prestige, moreover, aside from doing nothing, it also unlocks another daily task!
He only needs 500 prestige and he can start to cultivate smoothly across foundation building (provided he can procure the necessary resources and cultivation scriptures)... There are hundreds of thousands of disciples in the outer sect of Baiyun Sect, and it is estimated that not all will breakthrough to foundation building.
Suo Ya back then has pretty bad qualifications and he was only able to reach the 5th layer of Qi training because his parents are deacons of the outer door and foundation building cultivators. In order to make Suo Ya reach his current level, Suo Neyo and Wang Siqi spent a lot of money.
Qi training resources are so precious, let alone foundation grade materials?
As far as Suo Ya knew, his father, Suo Neyo, was using the majority of their family's income to seek further breakthroughs in cultivation. Suo Neyo was once a rising star, but he could only stay at foundation even with his adventurous heart. Suo Ya's mother didn't even try to breakthrough further but she still uses many resources, just to maintain her strength.
But what he didn't expect was this task is like welfare given directly, this system is too generous, right?
Suo Ya felt that he had to climb on the platform everyday, otherwise his conscience would be disturbed.
Suo Ya silently reigned in his delight and moved forward again. The outer disciples who were watching the play around them, made way for Suo Ya to walk over.
Suo Ya didn't notice it at first, but as he moved closer and closer to the platform, he finally noticed that something's wrong.
How come no one stopped him?
This shouldn't be, normally, shouldn't a few more outer disciples jump out and not let him go to the platform? There are many disciples of the eighth level of qi training listening to the sermons below. How can they let him, a new unknown disciple, go to the platform so easily? His gut soon had a weird feeling about this.
He walked and walked until the platform was in front of him, but the people in front didn't even move to stop him.
Suo Ya was now getting more anxious: Get up, brothers and sisters! What about your dignity?! Can you just let me go to the platform like this so easily? He was ready to cross a sea of blades and climb a mountain of swords, just to get the innate divine set, and that's your response?! Treat me as air?!
He walked very slowly, intentionally waiting for someone to jump out and stop him, but no one did until he finally reached the steps under the platform.
He was slightly disappointed as he turned his head behind him, and saw all the brothers and sisters looking at him admiringly. He was a little unwilling to let go though, so he planned to try breaking the net and killing the fish one last time.
He looked around, smiled and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, I'm going up now?"
"(Come on and stop me! Hurry up! Haven't got all day!)" Suo Ya thought to himself.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
At this time, a senior sister who reached the eighth layer of qi training smiled and said: "Junior brother, go up, Lin Gang is already one of the best among us. If you can defeat him so easily, none of us can gain a victory over you, so we won't stop you anymore."
"Yes, junior brother, the way you apply your strength in the realm of transformation is indeed extraordinary. After this sermon, I hope to discuss with junior brother."
"…"
One by one, the brothers and sisters were asking to discuss with him, thus he felt some happiness in his heart. Was the strength of that senior brother already so fierce? Anyways, he can only get achievement points from a task once a day, so having rabbits in multiple forests is better than having all of them in his basket right now.
Suo Ya was slightly happy as he looked at Lin Gang again. When Lin Gang saw this, he smiled back honestly: "Junior Brother, if you have time, we can continue to learn from each other."
Suo Ya beamed out a wide smile that almost reached his ears: "Thank you brothers and sisters for your love, since that's the case, then I'll go up."
He turned his head to the front, and continued up the steps of the platform happily.
The climb was not long, and he soon found himself atop the platform of Baiyang Peak. The platform was a huge square with futons placed squarely, one after another. In front of the futons, there was a higher platform, which should be where the preaching elder sat. But now, it is currently empty.
There were already quite a few people sitting on the futons. He found that the closer the futon was to the raised platform, the stronger the disciples were. There were even several disciples who made Suo Ya feel a very dangerous atmosphere. Not much weaker than himself.
Some of these disciples gather in twos or threes, exchanging their cultivation experience, yet some were alone with their eyes closed, meditating. After Suo Ya came up, someone looked over.
After seeing him, some disciples were stunned, some were puzzled, and some frowned.
"I can't discern his cultivation!"
"What's the situation? Who is this swordless dude that just came up? The people below didn't stop him?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? How could the people below watch an unknown disciple come up? They must have tried to stop him."
As soon as these words came out, many people looked surprised, but more people looked at Suo Ya, and their eyes shined with a curious glint.
The disciples sitting on the inner side had more inquisitive and interested expressions, while the disciples near the outer edge were more wary.
There are only so many places on the platform, and every month it is always full of people. Every one person that climbs up, means that somebody else has to go down. Since this junior brother can come up through the obstacles of so many disciples below, it shows that his strength is certainly not weak. In general, the disciples in the inner circle won’t have to worry about going down, but the outer circle is worried: If they are kicked off the platform, they would lose face and losing face is even more scary than dying to them.
Suo Ya looked at the placed futons on the platform, thought about it, and concluded that it was better to not be too high profile. The brothers and sisters inside seemed to be quite fierce. Just find a place outside and sit. In any case, he won't be staying in qi training for long.
After all, meals needs to be eaten slowly, and goals need to be realized one by one. Today, Suo Ya is very satisfied with the thought of the daily prestige reward. Furthermore, he was only in the middle of the mountain just a month ago. This progress is already big enough for him.
So, Suo Ya casually found a nearby seat and sat down happily. Sign in!
Mission accomplished! He will be able to buy a blueprint for a foundation building abode soon!
Upon finding out that Suo Ya quietly sat down on an empty futon, those eyes that were looking at him gradually retreated, but Suo Ya felt that someone was still watching him, and he was a little eager to show his hand. I wonder if anyone will challenge him? If there is, he will have 5 more points.
As for taking the initiative to challenge other people, Suo Ya never thought about it. He dare not take such high profile actions!
He waited for a long time, and no one challenged him rashly, but as time went by, more and more disciples came to the platform. Seeing his new face, these people paid more attention to him.
As more and more people arrived on the platform, the futons were gradually filling up. The monks sitting inside was still relaxed, but the monks sitting outside were already getting restless when they saw the new face Suo Ya.
This restlessness finally erupted at this moment, when Suo Ya heard a cold voice: "This junior brother, you are occupying my seat."
Suo Ya turned his head and saw a handsome young man looking at him coldly.
Eight layer of Qi practice. But more confident and certainly much stronger than the last guy.
Finally! Do you know that I've almost slept while waiting for this tension to go off?!
Suo Ya stood up and said while smiling dangerously: "Hello, senior brother, I'm just warming this place up for you, but first, let's see if your sword skills are cold enough to not get burnt here."
