The jade slip introduced many aspects of the four main branches, with the most attention naturally focused on resources, where the competition was also the fiercest.
A small competition is held every three years, and a large competition is held every ten years, which establishes the ranking of disciples in each lineage and grants them three different levels of rewards.
Alternatively, improving your ranking in the Trial Towers of each lineage will also result in an increase in your resource tier.
Now, as a newly promoted disciple of Lingxiao, Lin Xiuyuan has a protection period of about ten years. During these ten years, he can enjoy two bottles of Yangfa Pills, as well as five-grade Golden Yuan Pills and five thousand spirit stones every year for his cultivation without having to compete for rankings.
And this is only the third tier of reward!
Lin Xiuyuan originally thought that this was already the best resources available for the main lineage disciples to cultivate.
Surprisingly, this is only the third tier...
Among these, these resource allocations are only secondary; as the core of the main line of cultivation, they are naturally complete in all aspects.
In addition to resource allocation, all the true teachings passed down within the sect are open to the public, and each branch has elders or highly accomplished senior brothers who give lectures every month. There are even secret techniques and Taoist methods taught in the dojo, etc.
However, if Lin Xiuyuan is unable to maintain his current ranking in the small competition after the ten-year period, he will not even receive the third-tier reward. In the end, he will only receive a basic resource distribution: a few bottles of high-grade Golden Essence Pills and less than three thousand spirit stones... only slightly higher than when he was at Nine Heavens Mountain.
However, if one improves their ranking and meets the examination standards of the Deacon Hall, they can be promoted to the second tier of resource allocation.
Conversely... if a disciple's ranking remains outside the top 300 for a continuous cycle, that is, a cycle of 30 years, and during the ten minor competitions and three major competitions, their ranking remains unchanged or even drops, and their performance in the trial towers of each lineage is lagging behind, then their disciple status will be revoked, and depending on the circumstances, they will be directly transferred to a sect or sent to the outside world.
After all, resources are limited, and there's only so much of it. It's impossible to supply every disciple indefinitely; it can only be a matter of survival of the fittest.
The same applies to the various stewards of the inner and outer sects. During the Foundation Establishment stage, they are assigned to various positions to serve the sect, as well as to guard various sect headquarters, merchant guilds, spirit mines, and herb gardens in different places...
If someone can persevere in their cultivation and reach the Purple Mansion stage, they will be promoted to an outer sect steward, or return to the sect to take charge of affairs in a region, or take charge of affairs in various places outside the sect...
However, if one can continue to make steady progress within the main lineage, one will naturally receive higher-level resources for cultivation in the future. If one even steps into the ranks of the top geniuses, one may be able to obtain resources to directly reach the Golden Core stage! Moreover, after completing the cultivation of the main lineage, one can either be promoted to the Inner Sect Elder Hall or Inner Sect Steward, which will naturally broaden one's path considerably.
Thus, one can imagine how fierce the competition is within the main branch!
"The Trial Tower? This thing seems pretty good. It looks like contribution points are very useful among the inner disciples!"
Lin Xiuyuan murmured.
The jade slip roughly describes that after becoming a disciple of the main lineage, a certain number of contribution points are required for everything from monthly lectures at the Daoist temple to exchanging for any secret techniques or Daoist methods. Furthermore, contribution points can be used to exchange for various rare resources, and even to persuade elders in the sect to grant them a chance to receive guidance.
It's clear that within the main lineage, contribution points are probably more useful than spirit stones!
The second thing that caught Lin Xiuyuan's attention was the Trial Tower. Aside from the talisman summoning missions, this place was a great source of contribution points. Each main lineage had one, corresponding to alchemy, talisman, array formation, and so on, serving as a testing and training ground, and playing a significant role.
After all, not every disciple is good at combat. If they cannot achieve excellent rankings in the minor and major competitions, then achieving a good result in the Trial Tower is equivalent to an excellent result in the major competition.
It can only be said that the Cloud Soaring Sect, as a large sect, possesses a powerful foundation and has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years. It has extensive experience in cultivating disciples and has a complete and well-developed promotion system. In this way, it cultivates outstanding disciples, continues the sect's legacy, and safeguards the foundation of a large power!
However, the situation was somewhat different from what Lin Xiuyuan had expected. He thought that being in the main branch would be similar to being in Jiuxiao Mountain, where he only needed to focus on cultivation.
However, the competition is indeed quite fierce.
However you look at it from any perspective, this system is extremely fair and perfect, providing an excellent training environment that is very suitable for elite disciples to cultivate diligently and strive for excellence.
Lin Xiuyuan was very satisfied with this, and immediately felt a sense of pressure and eagerness to try.
Lin Xiuyuan had originally thought that entering the main branch would allow him to cultivate in peace and be free from external disturbances, especially the pressure from the Han family. Now it seemed that such peace was no longer possible...
However, the four main peaks are ultimately the core training sequence of the entire sect. Although the competition is fierce, it still maintains relative fairness.
Even if the Han family wanted to cause him trouble, they wouldn't be able to use their family's influence to suppress him openly.
This is a bit more troublesome than expected, but with such a good cultivation environment, these troubles are nothing.
Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself, "Although this cultivation environment is somewhat different from what I expected and may cause more trouble, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for me."
"Now that I am a disciple of the main lineage, there is no need to hide anything. I can reveal a lot! With my current strength, I am already far ahead among the newcomers. Moreover, with my rate of improvement, I will surely be able to steadily progress until I reach the optimal training sequence. This is my opportunity to soar on my path!"
