The room was simply furnished, with only a bed made of so unknown plant, a simple wooden table, and a few chairs.
"Damn, there’s not even a private bath. Our dorms back in engineering are better than this. And they call this a superpower?" Zhang nglong cursed as he walked out after taking a glance.
Although his requirents for accommodation weren’t particularly high, couldn’t there at least be so basic living facilities? These houses really had almost no function other than sleeping.
"Maybe the sect wants to motivate us to use all the ti we have for cultivation in these three years, aside from sleeping."
"Makes sense. The cleaner the cultivation environnt, the better it is for us to empty our minds and eliminate distractions. Truly, a superpower; they pay attention to every detail."
"Are you trying to brainwash yourself?" Zhang nglong rolled his eyes at the conversations around him, amazed at how they could find excuses for Sunset Sect’s indifference.
"Su Nian, do you know where those outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples stay?" Zhang nglong asked, since Su Nian seed to be the most knowledgeable about Sunset Sect currently.
"My big brother said the other disciples live in the inner layer of Sunset Sect," Su Nian replied. "The entire Sunset Sect is divided into two areas. We are currently in the outer area, which is the residential area for us intern disciples, and we are the majority."
Intern disciples of Sunset Sect usually undergo an assessnt after 3 years. About 10% of them can remain to be promoted to outer sect disciples, while the rest stay until the next batch of new disciples arrives.
At that ti, intern disciples who haven’t beco outer sect disciples will be dismissed, which is why this residential area sees a new group of faces every ti.
Upon being promoted to outer sect disciples, they qualify to enter the inner area of Sunset Sect, where their living conditions will greatly improve. Not only will their living conditions be comprehensive, but they will also have access to more and more cultivation resources.
In other words, most of these intern disciples aren’t really valued within the entire Sunset Sect. Only after becoming outer sect disciples will they be truly considered as part of Sunset Sect.
It’s like those outsourced personnel and official employees in big companies on Earth. Even though they’re supposedly in the sa company, there’s a huge difference in treatnt and rights.
"By the way, Brother Gu Xiao, my big brother also told , if I manage to join Sunset Sect, I must be careful of those official disciples."
"Oh? Why?" Zhang nglong asked. "We shouldn’t co into contact with them, right?"
"Yes, we currently have no way to enter the internal area of Sunset Sect, but they, as official disciples, have very free permissions. At least, except for certain places, they can move freely everywhere, including in the area where we intern disciples live."
"Looks like there are still a few people among this batch of intern disciples who know the rules." Su Nian had just finished his introduction when a voice ca from afar.
Everyone was suddenly drawn to the sound, turning their eyes uniformly toward its source.
The voice had co from the inner area of Sunset Sect!
Only to see dozens of figures approaching them in the sky.
This group was dressed in uniform attire, with an aura behind them akin to the setting sun, leaving a golden trail as the radiance spread across the sky.
"Seems like there’s trouble brewing." Zhang nglong crossed his arms and looked at the group looking down from the sky.
Just from their arrogant expressions, Zhang nglong could tell they were not here with good intentions.
"What? No calling us seniors? The new disciples this year don’t seem to know how to respect their seniors." The leader of the group said sarcastically.
The average strength of this group was around the peak Divine Breath realm, and the leader had even reached the first-grade Divine Cultivator realm.
"Clan Leader, they seem to be outer sect disciples of Sunset Sect." Su Nian noticed their identity cards hanging from their waists.
Just before they dispersed earlier, the elders handed out such cards to everyone; it’s a symbol of their identity. All the intern disciples have a gray Sunset Sect totem on their cards, while these people’s totems are green.
Above them are yellow totems representing inner sect disciples and blue totems for core disciples, while the more advanced direct disciples have red totems.
The elders of Sunset Sect earlier had gold totems on them.
These cards aren’t just a kind of identity symbol; they are also used to store contribution points. Each of the newly joined disciples of Sunset Sect received 100 contribution points.
The use of these contributions is very broad. Within Sunset Sect, they can be exchanged for anything, including martial arts techniques, elixirs, and weapons, and can even be used to access certain special areas.
For instance, if they want to soak in the Sunset River later, it requires consuming 1000 contribution points at once.
For these intern disciples, spending 100 contribution points allows them to enter the inner area for one day, so these contribution points are very valuable.
It’s said that obtaining contribution points is quite difficult; the tasks available for gaining them are challenging, and sotis you can work hard for half a day, even get seriously injured, and end up getting just a couple of contribution points.
So, these initial 100 contribution points already constitute a considerable fortune.
"Dear seniors, we just got here and don’t know the rules. We hope you can pardon us." One intern disciple imdiately voiced sothing high-spirited and diplomatic.
"Of course, we, like you, also started as intern disciples and didn’t know anything at the ti, so naturally we understand," the leading outer sect disciple smiled, "So today we’re here to teach you so rules."
"Please, seniors, enlighten us."
"Since it’s an enlightennt, naturally there must be a cost," that person laughed, "Each intern disciple, 50 contribution points, consider it your tuition."
"What? 50 points? That’s robbery!"
"I get it; these outer sect disciples are here to take advantage during hard tis."
"Why should we? Just because they say we should?"
"That’s exactly what I’m saying!" Su Nian chuckled wryly, "My brother said this is Sunset Sect’s tradition. All intern disciples go through this kind of robbing by higher-level disciples when they first arrive."
"Of course, you can choose not to give," the leading outer sect disciple changed his tone, "Then we’ll show you what Sunset Sect’s rules are like. I’ll give you 5 minutes to think about it."
Imdiately, everyone’s gaze fell on Zhang nglong, and the outer sect disciple also sharply noticed everyone’s stare.
"Oh? So, you seem to be the more authoritative one among this batch of intern disciples, right?" He continued to look down on Zhang nglong, "Then you’ll be responsible for this matter in the future. Each year, you receive 100 contribution points at this ti, and we’ll directly co to you."
"What for?" Zhang nglong pretended not to understand, "For... what... checking out?"
