"Xi Yan, I don't want you to leave." Luo Wanyin watched Ruan Xi Yan pack her things, feeling a little down.
Ruan Xiyan ruffled her hair. "It's not like it's gone."
"You need to be careful with your body's poisonous constitution. If anything seems wrong, come to the inner sect and find me. I'll help you suppress it," Ruan Xiyan instructed. "Don't let anyone bully you while I'm gone."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wanyin smiled and said, "I know, Xiyan, no one dares to bully me."
Ruan Xiyan left the disciples' courtyard and saw Jun Yu waiting outside as soon as she stepped out.
She stepped forward, puzzled. "What are you doing here?"
"I'll wait for you." Jun Yu's voice was gentle. "Let's go, I'll take you to the inner sect."
Ruan Xiyan followed Jun Yu toward the inner gate.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Back when I first entered the outer sect, you were the one who led me to the disciples' quarters. Now, in the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and it's you who are leading me to the inner sect again."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yu smiled and said, "It seems that my connection with Ayan is quite deep."
The two chatted casually as they crossed the plank road separating the two mountains and stepped onto the mountain where the inner gate was located.
The outer gate and the inner gate are not far apart, but they are not close either.
The inner sect's territory is larger than the outer sect's, but there are far fewer inner sect disciples than outer sect disciples. The environment is also more secluded and quiet, making it more suitable for calming down and focusing on cultivation.
Unlike the outer sect, the inner sect disciples each have their own room and a private courtyard.
Whether it's cultivation resources or their daily living quarters, inner disciples are treated much better than outer disciples, which explains why so many disciples desperately try to squeeze into the inner sect.
Jun Yu slowly introduced some things about the inner sect.
"Whenever a new inner disciple arrives, the inner sect will conduct an assessment. It's called an assessment, but it's actually just a simple test of the new inner disciple's specific abilities."
"Assessment? What kind of assessment?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
"There are three types of assessments: tests of strength, alchemy, and weapon crafting. It is not necessary to pass all three assessments."
"As long as one of the assessment criteria is met, it is acceptable. Generally, people who can accumulate a million ice points have certain extraordinary abilities and can pass this assessment."
"So it's just a formality. In order to encourage the new inner disciples, the inner sect will give some Ice Points as a reward to anyone who passes the test."
"This is to express the importance and high regard we have for our inner disciples."
Ruan Xiyan blinked and looked at Jun Yu, as if she had just thought of something. "Can the Ice Points from the assessment rewards be accumulated?"
When Junyu heard her ask that question, he immediately guessed what she was thinking and replied with a smile, "Of course."
"By passing one assessment, you can obtain the ice score corresponding to that assessment; by passing two assessments, you can obtain the ice score for both assessments, and so on."
Ruan Xiyan's eyes sparkled.
The assessment is quite fair; you earn points based on your abilities.
The more skilled a person is, the more ice points they can obtain.
She remembered Qiqi mentioning that the inner cultivation grounds of the Ice Feather Palace also required Ice Points.
Furthermore, the number of ice-breaking points required is no less than that required at the outer gate.
Therefore, the more ice-free points you have, the better.
"The inner disciples' assessment is tomorrow. It's getting late today, so I'll take Ayan to her lodgings to rest first."
"Ayan, make sure you get plenty of rest. Make a fortune at the General Ice Points assessment tomorrow." Jun Yu smiled gently.
"Don't worry, it'll be a piece of cake, a breeze." Ruan Xiyan smiled, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Alchemy and weapon crafting are her specialties, and these ice points are practically handed to her for free. How could she let them slip away!
The next morning.
In a spacious area paved with pure white jade within the inner sect, many inner sect disciples had gathered.
This is the martial arts training ground, where inner disciples usually spar and compete, or where important events are held.
The elder in charge of the assessment was already seated on the high platform, with one empty seat in the middle.
A large number of inner disciples gathered below to watch.
The assessment for inner disciples was nothing new.
Whenever a disciple from the outer sect meets the requirements to enter the inner sect, an assessment test will be initiated.
However, this time is different from the past. I heard that a new disciple who has only been in the outer sect of Ice Feather Palace for less than three months has already accumulated enough Ice Points to become an inner disciple.
This was unprecedented in the Ice Feather Palace, naturally arousing the curiosity of many people, who all wanted to come and see who had such great abilities.
Moreover, this assessment has even alarmed the Palace Master, who will personally conduct this inner sect assessment.
It's easy to imagine how much the Palace Master valued that new disciple.
Besides Ruan Xiyan, fourteen other people also met the requirements for inner sect ice points this time.
However, among the fifteen people who participated in the assessment test, only Ruan Xiyan was a new disciple who joined the sect this year.
The other disciples were all veteran disciples who had been in the outer sect for two or three years, or even three or four years.
As everyone looked at the fifteen outer disciples standing on the stage, Yu Huaiting, the Palace Master of Bingyu Palace, slowly walked up to the high platform and sat down in the center of the platform.
Several inner sect elders stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Palace Master."
The other disciples also bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Palace Master."
Yu Huaiting waved his hand at the elders, "Please sit down."
He looked at the fifteen disciples below who were preparing for the assessment and began to explain the assessment rules, "There are three types of assessments in total."
"You only need to pass any one of the tests to become a formal disciple of my inner sect."
"The first test is the power crystal pillar in front of you. The levels engraved on the pillar are level one, level two, level three, level four, and level five."
"Each level represents a different level of power. During the assessment later, you will need to concentrate your power and strike the crystal pillar with all your might."
"Based on the strength of your power, the corresponding level on the crystal pillar will light up."
"Level one is the basic standard that you inner disciples must reach. As long as you can make the crystal pillar light up, you will have passed the test."
"Each level on the crystal pillar corresponds to a certain number of ice points as a reward. Level 1 is 10,000 ice points, level 2 is 20,000 ice points, level 3 is 30,000 ice points, level 4 is 40,000 ice points, and level 5 is 50,000 ice points."
"How many Ice Points you can get depends on how many levels of Light you can achieve," Yu Huaiting said in a deep voice.
He turned his gaze to the two tables on the left and right, which held a medicine-refining cauldron and a weapon-refining cauldron, as well as some basic materials needed for refining medicine and weapons.
