chapter 5 - You haven’t practiced enough!
Three hours passed.
The temporary tokens for the first batch of Outer Sect Disciples reached their time limit.
Everyone who returned to the Cultivation Hall had rosy complexions and looked radiant.
“This Illusion Realm Cultivation truly lives up to its reputation!”
“Not only is the Cultivation effect good, but the process is also very interesting!”
“I truly envy the Inner Sect Disciples; they get to enjoy such benefits every day!”
“It’s a pity we only have five days to come here to Cultivate.”
“Yes! And the daily token limit is only three hours…”
“I’m just a little short on Spirit Stones to buy a Golden Core Stage mount! How annoying!”
“Alas, if only there was a small Illusion Tower.”
“That thing costs 100 Spirit Stones per unit, too expensive!”
…
The Outer Sect Disciples whispered among themselves, looking at the large Illusion Tower in the center with eyes full of reluctance.
The large Illusion Tower in the Cultivation Hall allows ten thousand people to enter the Illusion Realm simultaneously, facilitating unified Cultivation and guidance.
The Sect also sells small Illusion Towers.
However, a price of 100 Spirit Stones per unit was an ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ astronomical figure for ordinary Outer Sect Disciples.
Lu Ze, standing on the high platform, heard them and cleared his throat:
“Fellow Disciples, I happen to have a batch of temporary tokens here that are unlimited in duration for five days, but they can only be used to enter “Demon Sect Escape,” and the price is only 1 Spirit Stone.”
Lu Ze slowly raised a single finger.
The eyes of the Outer Sect Disciples below went wide.
If it weren't for their financial embarrassment, they would probably be scrambling to buy it even if someone were selling a 100 Spirit Stone small Illusion Tower on the spot.
At this moment, they were excited, and Lu Ze told them they could play for five days for 1 Spirit Stone. Did such a thing still need consideration?
“I’ll buy it!”
“I’ll buy it too!”
“Does anyone have extra Spirit Stones? Lend me one first, and I’ll pay it back when I return.”
“Senior Brother Lu, I’m going back to get some Spirit Stones… Can you save a token for me?”
…
Everyone’s eyes were bright; at this moment, Lu Ze looked like a great Saint in their eyes.
“No worries, no worries. There are plenty of these temporary tokens. You can go back and get them, then come back.”
Lu Ze waved his hand.
He had anticipated this matter long ago.
The Outer Sect Disciples’ tokens only had a three-hour limit per day.
That wouldn’t do; the mission required them to be idle for a full five days. How could they leave after three hours?
Besides making games, Lu Ze had been tirelessly making temporary tokens for the past three days, all for this moment.
Looking at the people in the Cultivation Hall, and their expressions of regarding him as a Saint, Lu Ze knew he had succeeded.
“Bah! What kind of broken Cultivation is this? It’s not at all like what the Inner Sect Disciples use. Are you looking down on us Outer Sect Disciples, specifically choosing inferior ones for us?”
Among the crowd, Wang Ba, who had been scowling, suddenly lashed out.
Among the many joyful Outer Sect Disciples, he was the only one with a grim expression.
The reason was simple: he ranked second to last in “Demon Sect Escape.”
His poor performance was one thing, but this Illusion Realm also publicly displayed the rankings, making everyone laugh at him.
A few days ago, Wang Ba had already experienced the basic movement technique Cultivation Illusion Realm through his elder brother’s connections;
It was completely different from the current “Demon Sect Escape”!
He was very dissatisfied with his current results.
He felt that if it were the Cultivation Illusion Realm used by Inner Sect Disciples, he would definitely come out on top!
Wang Ba’s remarks immediately drew dissatisfaction from the surrounding Disciples.
“What’s wrong with ‘Demon Sect Escape’?”
“Even if my knowledge is shallow, I admit it. Today’s Cultivation has given me a lot of gains!”
“I once heard an Inner Sect Senior Brother talk about Illusion Trial, and it’s far less enjoyable than today’s experience!”
“Brother Wang, are you saying this because your own Cultivation results aren’t good?”
…
Everyone chattered, making Wang Ba’s face flush red.
“Pigs can’t appreciate fine food. I won’t stoop to your level, you frogs in a well.”
Wang Ba gritted his teeth.
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes, looking at the loudly arguing Wang Ba.
When it comes to games, not everyone has talent.
But for someone with Wang Ba’s results, it’s probably not just a lack of gaming talent, but also an unstable foundation in his own Cultivation Technique.
The few Outer Sect Disciples who also ranked at the bottom were equally elated, discussing their feelings while playing the game with those around them. How were they like Wang Ba?
Looking at his walking posture and breathing frequency, it was likely that Wang Ba’s Cultivation was mostly piled up by Heaven And Earth Treasure, making it very unstable.
“Instead of questioning ‘Demon Sect Escape,’ you should practice Suiyun Technique more.”
Lu Ze looked at Wang Ba with a half-smile.
The latter became even angrier, veins bulging: “You’re just at Qi Refining Third Level. Don’t think that just because you got lucky and became a Named Disciple, you can lord over me! When I enter the Inner Sect someday, I will definitely make you regret it!”
Lu Ze’s gaze was calm: “Talk about it when you’ve entered the Inner Sect.”
“You…”
Wang Ba was furious.
If a genuine Inner Sect Disciple had said this, he wouldn’t have dared to say anything.
But Lu Ze was just a Named Disciple, in name only.
Moreover, he was only at Qi Refining Third Level.
Where did he get the courage to speak to him like that?
He immediately pointed at Lu Ze’s nose and roared: “Just you, how dare you say my Suiyun Technique isn’t good enough? This broken Illusion Realm has nothing to do with Suiyun Technique!”
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, he activated Suiyun Technique, and his figure instantly appeared behind Wang Ba.
“Because, if you’re bad, practice more.”
Lu Ze said coldly.
This extreme speed was so fast that few of the Outer Sect Disciples present could even see it clearly.
“My goodness, is this Suiyun Technique at Major Achievement?”
“Indeed, no one who enters the Inner Sect is simple.”
“Strange… I’ve had some interactions with Brother Lu in the past, but I never heard that he was good at movement techniques.”
“Both are Qi Refining, but the difference is truly vast!”
…
Being humiliated like this, Wang Ba’s face alternated between green and red.
He hurriedly turned and left: “Hmph! We’ll see!”
Looking at Wang Ba’s retreating back, Lu Ze found it somewhat amusing.
With such Aptitude, plus such an impatient Heart-Nature, it would be strange if he could enter the Inner Sect.
Lu Ze made up his mind.
If this fellow came for the Trial again, he would definitely design a set of special stages for him, ensuring he firmly held the last-place position.
…
…
Lingxiao Sect, on the Sect Plaza, people came and went.
The Outer Sect Disciples who had just come out of the Artifact Refining Hall Cultivation Hall walked with hurried expressions.
Unlike Inner Sect Disciples, most Outer Sect Disciples did not have Storage Rings on them.
But when coming to the peak to learn, how many people carried Spirit Stones with them?
Therefore, they could only return to the Outer Sect to retrieve Spirit Stones, then go back to buy Lu Ze’s temporary tokens.
Along the way, these Outer Sect Disciples were still enthusiastically discussing their experiences with “Demon Sect Escape,” chatting to satisfy their craving.
“This Trial is really difficult. I wonder when I’ll be able to Breakthrough five hundred steps!”
“I heard Senior Brother Zhang Ming say that after two thousand steps, there will be many Formation traps, making it even more difficult!”
“Two thousand steps… I didn’t expect Senior Brother Zhang Ming to be so talented!”
“As long as we work hard enough, we can definitely break a thousand steps too.”
“I think so too! As long as I pick up more Spirit Stones and buy a top-grade Spirit Beast, I can definitely run much further!”
“I think Magic Treasure is more useful. It’s always good to have an extra life.”
“…I mean, work hard to Cultivate Suiyun Technique!”
“Alas, I truly envy the Inner Sect Disciples, who can enjoy such an Illusion Trial every day!”
…
On the plaza, there were quite a few Inner Sect Disciples.
Xiao Hongzhi was one of them.
He was currently discussing Dao over tea with a fellow Senior Brother when a group of Outer Sect Disciples suddenly walked past with swift steps.
Proper Inner Sect Disciples, whose Cultivation Realm was not low, naturally had senses far superior to Outer Sect Disciples.
The casual chatter of that group of Outer Sect Disciples clearly entered their ears.
The Junior Brother beside him was full of doubt:
“Illusion Trial? Demon Sect Escape? Senior Brother Xiao, have you ever heard of this Trial?”
