"Elder Wang, does he have an elder who is a Sect Elder?"

Wang Wenbai's identity obviously caused some commotion on the scene.

Corpse-Driving Sect's Elder must be a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, prestigious in status.

Someone has already silently noted his face, not to intentionally curry favor, but at least to ensure not to offend.

Besides You Qingyi and Wang Wenbai, a man named Rong Xuejian also sensed spiritual energy.

He is fair and thin, with a gentle appearance, his Spirit Root belonging to Mid-grade, but not far from the High-grade.

As Lou Yi guessed, sensing spiritual energy and one's talent are positively correlated.

Seeing this, he didn't recklessly step forward.

A Lower-Grade Spirit Root achieving many things that Mid-grade Spirit Roots haven't is quite rare.

If caught by high-ranking sect members' attention, it might not necessarily be a good thing.

No matter how strong a martial arts expert is, they are only slightly larger ants in the eyes of cultivators; they wouldn't be interested.

But a Lower-Grade Spirit Root stronger than many Mid-grade ones defies common sense, perhaps attracting special attention.

Wei Jian appeared apologetic: "This is Senior Brother's fault, I forgot to bring the Purifying God Pills for the junior brothers yesterday.

This Elixir can assist you in sensing spiritual energy, greatly reducing the difficulty. Fortunately, I brought it today."

Everyone: ???

'This Senior Brother is so irresponsible?'

Many showed displeasure but dared not anger this disciple who might reach the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage.

Lou Yi seemed contemplative.

Wei Jian certainly didn't forget; he wouldn't dare, it must be a sect's deliberate test.

On site, Wei Jian waved his hand, and hundreds of light blue small porcelain bottles appeared on the ground, about three inches tall, sealed with wooden stoppers.

"Each junior brother takes one bottle, five pills per bottle, don't take more."

"Junior Sister You, Junior Brother Rong, Junior Brother Wang, follow me to the Cultivation Hall immediately to receive the Profound Yin Technique and other items for Outer Disciples."

"Furthermore, in a few days, the Corpse Forest will open.

Only those who develop Qi Sensing are eligible to enter the Corpse Forest to select their Lifebound Spirit Corpse, otherwise, they must wait until early next month.

Junior brothers and sisters, you must hurry, you only have three months."

After Wei Jian finished, he left with You Qingyi, Wang Wenbai, and Rong Xuejian.

Other new disciples discussed loudly behind.

"This person named Wei, how amusing, forgetting such an important Elixir!

I said, why didn't I sense anything the whole night? If it's really this hard, Corpse-Driving Sect wouldn't recruit disciples at all!"

"Spirit Root is indeed important, those with better talent sense spiritual energy faster than us."

"Where did he hide these Elixir bottles, how did they suddenly appear? I couldn't see where he pulled them from."

"Heh, you don't understand, do you? See the white brocade bag at his waist?

Let me teach you something, it's called a Storage Bag, able to store many things inside!

But this thing is too precious, many True Disciples don't have it, Wei Jian's identity seems not simple..."

Hearing the discussion nearby, Lou Yi's heart moved.

He touched his chest, where a pink brocade bag also lay.

Obtained from having killed that female Daoist from the Five Elements Sect, a trophy.

'It's indeed a Storage Bag.'

Lou Yi had long speculated, now merely confirmed.

Once he truly enters the cultivation path, he will definitely find a way to open the Storage Bag.

That female Daoist seemed extraordinary in background; what treasures could she have left him, Lou Yi was quite anticipating.

That night, Lou Yi continued researching the Energy-Introducing Technique.

With the cultivation technique already mastered, he could constantly guide the spiritual energy from space into his body through the navel.

The slightly cool spiritual energy, initially merging into the body and disappearing without a trace.

But as the amount continued to accumulate, it finally stabilized, forming a small cluster of Qi.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lou Yi frowned, feeling a faint throbbing pain from his abdomen.

Pressing his hand against the abdomen, finding it icy cold, utterly different from the warm sensation elsewhere on the body.

'Yin Spirit Root should absorb Yin Spiritual Qi. This Qi is cold attribute, harmful to the body.'

'Despite my powerful physique, I can feel discomfort; other new disciples surely can't bear it.

Corpse-Driving Sect should have a solution, could it be the Profound Yin Technique?'

Lou Yi's mind surfaced a guess, then stopped practicing.

At that moment, he heard a laughter from a nearby cave: "Hahaha, I also sensed spiritual energy!"

'Oh, it seems the Purifying God Pill is somewhat useful.' Lou Yi looked at the blue bottle in his hand, pondering.

Another day passed.

With the help of the Purifying God Pill, a dozen disciples sensed spiritual energy, Lou Yi remained inactive.

In the following three days, dozens sensed spiritual energy, and Lou Yi took the chance to join them, becoming a formal Outer Disciple of Corpse-Driving Sect.

Wei Jian led all disciples who understood Qi Sensing to Treasure Storage Peak.

Treasure Storage Peak is ten miles from Disciple Peak, over two thousand meters high, one of the tallest peaks in the sect's area.

The mountain houses important halls like Cultivation Hall, Talisman Cauldron Hall, and Spirit Medicine Hall, where Lou Yi and the others were headed to the Cultivation Hall.

"Our sect has thirteen peaks, besides Guest Welcoming Peak, Disciple Peak, Treasure Storage Peak, there's Sect Leader Peak for the Sect Leader, Feishi Peak for Task Hall and Law Enforcement Hall, three Dao Peaks for elders."

"Becoming an Outer Disciple, besides practicing the necessary Profound Yin Technique, Corpse Control Technique, and Rain Technique, you can choose an extra cultivation technique for free.

I suggest you consider carefully, don't rush to decide, wait until you're assured later..."

Wei Jian provided information about Corpse-Driving Sect's rules as they led the way.

"Senior Brother Wei, can only choose one free technique?" someone asked.

"If you breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Middle Stage and become an Inner Sect Disciple, you can choose one more. Breaking through to Late-stage Qi Refining and becoming a True Disciple is the same. Other times, you must buy with contribution.

Not just techniques, Elixirs, talismans, even Spirit Rice you will consume later need to be bought with contribution after three months, Corpse-Driving Sect doesn't raise idlers." Wei Jian said meaningfully.

"But I've heard only Inner Sect Disciples can take tasks to earn contribution." another person asked.

"Outer Disciples can earn contribution too, by farming well," Wei Jian chuckled, "After choosing your techniques, the next step is to receive the Grass Corpse, in Corpse-Driving Sect, everyone has a Lifebound Spirit Corpse."

After receiving the Grass Corpse, most should proceed to claim a Spirit Field.

Each quarter, Outer Disciples undergo a test; those at the top get rewards, those at the bottom face penalties."
