This shows how significant the difference is between having a renowned teacher and not having one.
There is no external disturbance and resources are plentiful.
This allowed Lin Xiuyuan to cultivate without distraction, and with a peaceful Dao heart, his cultivation level improved much faster than it should have been.
Every so often, it was clear that Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level had increased significantly.
...
Three years later.
Lin Xiuyuan paused his cultivation, made some preparations, and then headed straight for the main peak's martial arts arena.
The competition is being held today, and it is very necessary for Lin Xiuyuan to participate.
The major competition is basically a stage for the older disciples, while the minor competition is a stage for the newly recruited disciples.
Because the smaller competition is not like the larger competition, where the best winner is determined through layers of selection.
The smaller competition follows a group system, dividing participants into different groups based on their realm or peak ranking each time.
The main purpose is to assess the disciples' cultivation progress, so with Lin Xiuyuan's combat strength, he will definitely be able to achieve a top ranking and obtain a considerable reward.
Furthermore, the ranking of the main peak is based primarily on a comparison of large and small teams, which is used to upgrade resource levels, as well as to eliminate, demote, or reassign individuals...
Therefore, it is necessary for all the main peak disciples to participate in these competitions, including Lin Xiuyuan.
Coincidentally, this time the competition is organized by group, with the contestants ranked according to their skill level and similarity.
In the end, after several days of fighting, Lin Xiuyuan unsurprisingly won first place in his group and received the group's first-place reward: a bottle of high-grade Yangfa Pill and two hundred contribution points.
Afterwards, Lin Xiuyuan's ranking on the main peak improved by about ten places, from 589 to 576!
However, the ranking rewards for the main peak are only awarded once per tier. Only those who reach the top 500 can receive the ranking rewards again, and then the top 300...
"Sigh, the gap between people is really quite large. We're all top talents of the main peak, but the difference is just too big! When we entered the main peak at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it took us about twenty or thirty years to successfully break into the top seven hundred... But this Lingxiao talent achieved the ultimate ranking that was almost at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage as soon as he entered the main peak..."
"It seems that there are still more than half a year before he passes the probationary period..."
"Those who can achieve such a level in the newly advanced stage are all at the late Foundation Establishment stage upon entering the main peak, while he only recently broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage when he entered the main peak. Now it seems that his cultivation is still quite a distance away from the high-mid stage..."
"Such combat power and such talent are truly beyond the reach of others."
"Being in the same year as him is our misfortune. It seems that no matter how hard we try, the top-tier resources for our cohort are out of our reach..."
"This person has already become a legend on our main peak!!"
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan dominate the competition, defeating all disciples of the same realm, whether from other lineages or the Yunxiao lineage known for its combat prowess, none were his match.
This amazed countless people, even though they had witnessed Lin Xiuyuan's combat prowess in the competition earlier and felt that this scene was somewhat natural.
But seeing something like this again is still shocking.
Because Lin Xiuyuan is a newly recruited disciple, he is easily overlooked under such a dazzling aura.
But whenever I think about it, I can't suppress the shock in my heart...
...
Lin Xiuyuan returned from the main peak and planned to continue his seclusion.
Over the past three years, with the assistance of abundant resources, his magical power has successfully reached the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment period and is accumulating towards the higher stage.
Within ten years, it is estimated that this stage of accumulation will be completed, and after reaching the high level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it will be able to make an attempt to advance to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm and composed, slowly ascending to the cave on his sword. He had fought hard for this goal many times, and everything would eventually fall into place.
However, upon returning to the cave, they unexpectedly encountered someone.
"Hey? Qingxue, what are you doing here? Were you waiting for me?"
When Lin Xiuyuan returned to his cave, he saw two disciples guarding the mountain floating in the air not far away. His gaze then shifted downwards, and he saw a little girl standing in front of the door. He was taken aback.
Nearly thirty or forty years have passed since their first meeting, but Zhou Qingxue is still a young girl with a touch of naivety in her eyes.
She is still in the Qi Refining stage, currently a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, but has not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The Zhou family is currently unable to send her directly to the main peak, so she has not entered the Cloud Soaring Sect and plans to stay in the family to cultivate until she is able to participate in the Grand Competition to try to enter the main peak before coming to the sect.
Therefore, if Zhou Qingxue wanted to come to the Yunxiao Sect, she could only find someone to vouch for her and register, and then be guarded here.
Therefore, this is indeed a rare occurrence.
"Hey, Xiu Yuan, you're amazing! You've already won first place in the small competition group? Tsk tsk, you still have about half a year before you pass the newcomer stage, right? I bet you'll create another legend."
"The events of the last competition are enough to become a legend! Not to mention the talent for talisman cultivation that you, Cousin Xiuyuan, displayed. Even Sister Qiuhe wasn't this amazing back then. You'll probably become a legend in the Cloud Soaring Sect in the future. You're truly unprecedented and unparalleled. You're amazing, my Cousin Xiuyuan!!"
Zhou Qingxue was examining a communication jade slip when Lin Xiuyuan arrived nearby without her noticing until he asked her a question, at which point she came to her senses.
Zhou Qingxue exclaimed in astonishment.
