Chapter 76 Entering the Inner Gate

Mu Yunshu was dumbfounded.

She stood there blankly, her face full of disbelief.

When he sneaked into the Xuanwang Mansion of the Kingdom of Daughters half a year ago, Ye Chunyang had just broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining. Now, only half a year later, he broke through again and defeated all the contestants? This speed is incredible.

But this kid is as stupid as a piece of wood on weekdays, and he is also a four-spiritual root, the lowest qualification in the world of cultivation. How could he reach such a high level in just half a year?

"Is there any secret behind this kid?"

Mu Yunshu frowned, and couldn't help but think of the black-clothed man in the Tianmai Treasury again, and felt that Ye Chunyang was more and more strange.

"Humph! Last time, relying on the power of Elder Qing Chong, you escaped a disaster. This time you came to the door yourself. I want to see whether you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid!"

Mu Yunshu's face was cold, and she had a deep obsession in exploring Ye Chunyang.

Thinking of this, she immediately quickened her pace and walked towards the front hall.

After a series of promotions and eliminations, there were only a hundred disciples left in each copper hall. In the ten copper halls combined, there were only a thousand disciples who could enter the inner gate.

Ye Chunyang stood in the crowd in a low profile. Others looked at him with surprise. No one knew how this unknown fool passed the test. Even the crowd did not see how he made a move. Every contestant who played against him was defeated inexplicably.

"I really can't tell that you are so well hidden."

Just as Ye Chunyang stood in silence, a clear voice suddenly came from the back, with a hint of sarcasm in the words.

Ye Chunyang's heart sank. He didn't expect that enemies would meet on such a narrow road. He could actually meet Mu Yunshu in such an occasion. From his tone, it seemed that he still had doubts about himself.

And last time in Qingchong Cave, he rejected her master and apprentice in public. Could it be that Elder Hongye asked her to trouble him this time?

"Hehe...it turns out to be Senior Sister Yunshu. Junior brother is here to greet you."

Ye Chunyang laughed and laughed, but he was secretly alert in his heart. This little goblin seemed careless and eccentric, but in fact she was meticulous. If he was not careful, she might really find out something.

"Hmph! How dare I let you greet me, Elder Qingchong's disciple?" Mu Yunshu said sourly.

Her words shocked everyone, and they looked at Ye Chunyang more strangely. They could never have thought that such a person who was obviously a cook with a big spoon on his back was actually a disciple of an elder in the magic power period. Could it be that he had real power? He had been playing the pig to eat the tiger, instead of winning by a narrow margin?

Everyone took a breath of cold air and unconsciously became in awe of Ye Chunyang.

"Senior sister, that's not right. If it weren't for the protection of senior sister, Chunyang would have died in the hands of the demons."

Ye Chunyang touched his nose and practiced Tai Chi with Mu Yunshu.

Mu Yunshu snorted coldly and looked him up and down. He seemed calm on the surface, but was actually shocked in his heart.

Although he knew that only those who reached the eighth level of Qi Refining would be eligible to participate in the selection of high-level menials, he still felt unbelievable when he saw it with his own eyes. He was more determined to explore Ye Chunyang's mind.

Ye Chunyang frowned secretly. This girl had never given up her suspicion of him. But he was not an ordinary person. If she wanted to see his background, she would need to practice for hundreds of years.

So, Ye Chunyang was just like usual, showing a simple and honest look, and just smiled silly and looked at her.

However, after looking at him, Mu Yunshu walked to an elder in the copper hall and talked to him.

This elder was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. He didn't care about these disciples in the Qi Refining period at all. His face remained arrogant and indifferent. But after listening to what Mu Yunshu said, he actually nodded with a relaxed look, and then looked at Ye Chunyang.

Ye Chunyang frowned, trouble is coming!

At this time, the elder in the foundation building period looked at him, and Mu Yunshu next to him also smiled after he finished speaking. This situation might be a bit bad.

"Everyone present is the winner of the competition. From now on, you can freely enter and exit the inner gate, and take up certain positions in it to get rewards." The elder in the foundation building period waved his hand and gave each person a token, then pointed at Ye Chunyang and said, "You, team up with Junior Brother Mu, and wait for her dispatch."

Ye Chunyang's face looked ugly.

This elder in the foundation building period made this arrangement. Ye Chunyang knew that it was Mu Yunshu's doing. With the support of Elder Hongye behind her, this elder in the foundation building period naturally did not dare to offend, but he never expected that this little girl would tie him up to her side so that she could monitor him at all times.

After the elder in the foundation building period announced the fall, Mu Yunshu made a face at him as if he had won a battle, looking very proud.

Ye Chunyang was secretly distressed. Although this little sister had no ill intentions, it would be a big trouble if she continued to doubt him. It seemed that he would need to find a way to solve it in the future. At present, due to the situation, he had to silently follow the other party's flying tool to fly out of the bronze hall.

…

After passing through the bronze hall, Ye Chunyang saw a series of pavilions and terraces. The three temples around it formed a tripod, surrounding countless courtyards. Obviously, this was the real core of the inner gate, the Lingtian, Yunxiao, and Xingwu Halls.

The Lingtian Hall mainly collected spells, the Yunxiao Hall collected magic weapons, and the Xingwu Hall collected talismans. Disciples exchanged their contribution points for what they needed, but after all, the treasures collected here were all high-level treasures, and the contribution points exchanged were naturally more expensive. This was also the reason why there were so many servants in the inner gate.

After a pavilion was built, a young man of the eighth level of Qi Refining came up to greet him. Through the introduction, Ye Chunyang knew that this person was responsible for guiding new disciples. Through this work, he could also get some contribution points. From this, he knew the rules of the inner sect better. Anyone who wanted to get corresponding benefits here could only rely on himself.

"The residence of the new disciples is in the southeast courtyard. Each person has an independent room. Please follow me, fellow disciples."

After the guiding young man said, he led everyone to a courtyard.

Unlike the deserted outer gate, the inner gate seemed much more lively, and the spiritual energy was far more abundant than the outer gate. Along the way, Ye Chunyang saw many disciples flying in the air, going back and forth between the three halls.

But one of the places with the largest number of people was the Contribution Courtyard, which was the place to receive tasks and exchange contribution points. According to the guiding young man, in order to obtain contribution points, there would be disciples coming here every day to receive tasks, and even some uncles in the foundation-building period would appear, but they had all left the duties of chores and practiced freely in the sect.

Of course, some foundation-building disciples chose to stay in the sect as steward elders in order to get rewards. The elder who was responsible for registering the competition before was one of them.

Listening to the introduction of the guiding youth, Ye Chunyang also got to know the inner gate. Under his guidance, they soon came to the courtyard in the southeast area and assigned residences to everyone.

"You have just passed the competition assessment, so you can rest for one night. Go to the Contribution Court tomorrow to receive miscellaneous tasks so that you can get contribution points to exchange for treasures in the three halls."

After the guiding youth finished speaking, he said goodbye to everyone and went to other courtyards alone.

At this time, everyone had chosen their own residences and closed their breath.

Ye Chunyang also found a relatively secluded house and prepared to leave.

Perhaps because it was the area for new disciples, although the spiritual energy here was not as good as other places, it was much better than the outer gate, and more suitable for him to secretly cultivate spiritual herbs and make pills.

However, just as he turned around, someone suddenly patted his shoulder, and a silver bell-like laughter came from behind him: "Junior Brother Chunyang, I am going to Lingtian Palace tomorrow. Since the elders have arranged you to be my deputy, shouldn't you go with me?"

Mu Yunshu's smile was quite gloating.

Ye Chunyang was unwilling to be the follower of this little goblin, but it was not the time to tear his face apart, so he had to grin and nodded with a straightforward face: "Senior Sister has something to say, Chunyang will obey it."

Mu Yunshu smiled with satisfaction, and finally looked at him before putting his hands behind his back and leaving leisurely.

Ye Chunyang sighed helplessly and returned to his room silently.

But he did not notice that when he left, there was a gloomy look behind him looking at him, revealing a sinister murderous intent.

"Ye Chunyang... Let me see what you can do to make Junior Sister Yunshu pay so much attention to you!"

Lin Zhen clenched his fists, his face was ferocious. He thought that he could win the favor of Mu Yunshu by telling him about Ye Chunyang's lucky winning streak as a joke, but he never thought that he would take it so seriously after hearing about this kid, and even brought him with him, which made him jealous.

...

Ye Chunyang naturally didn't know Lin Zhen's hatred for him. After closing the door, he carefully checked the room.

After being promoted to a senior servant in the inner gate, the conditions in all aspects were obviously much better than those in the outer gate.

The wooden house he lived in in the outer gate had only a small backyard, while this place was wide in front and back, and there was an independent small garden to absorb natural spiritual energy. The residents could arrange forbidden methods in the garden by themselves, making it their own place for cultivation, which was very beneficial for both cultivation and alchemy.

What made Ye Chunyang most satisfied was that this garden was not only full of birdsong and flowers, but also closed on all sides. In the future, as long as the forbidden methods were arranged, he could offer sacrifices to Ye Xiaobao and plant spiritual herbs here without being discovered.

Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang immediately sat cross-legged, took out the "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate", and sacrificed an intermediate forbidden method from it.

The "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate" has a total of 38 forbidden methods, all of which are the five elements of the Tianmai Treasure House that day. Now he just put it to use. Under the urging of his spiritual power, a hazy halo instantly enveloped the garden, isolating all fluctuations here. Even if outsiders pass by, they can only see a faint layer of clouds and cannot see the scene inside.

After hiding this place well, Ye Chunyang moved his mind, and Ye Xiaobao appeared in a physical form.

At this time, Ye Xiaobao has certainly reached the initial stage of foundation building.

After summoning him out, Ye Chunyang handed him the spirit spoon and dozens of spirit grass seeds, asking him to open up a spirit field in the garden to plant, while his main body was in the pavilion to regulate his breath and nourish his qi. The two bodies, one static and one moving, complement each other.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is ten times more abundant than that of the outer gate. He firmly believes that the spiritual herbs cultivated will have more abundant medicinal properties.
