Holding the ID badge in hand, Yan Li infused some vigor in it and was pleased to see a s.h.i.+mmer and a few lines of white characters appearing on it:

Name: Yan Li

Ranking: Out-door disciple of Dahuang Palace

Address: 45, Human Section, Outdoor Yard

Credit Points: 0

Yan Li knew that there was an intricate vigor array inside the badge which made it this magical.

On Tianhuang land, aside from martial artists, there were also elixir makers, array builders and weapon creators.

For people who practiced martial arts, elixirs were a necessity which could not only strengthen their bodies, increase their vigor and also detoxicate and cure wounds, so elixir makers were both well-paid and highly-respected.

Array builders didn't fall short, either. Since they could set up some awe-inspiring vigor arrays that connected the Heaven and the Earth by using bizarre tricks of their own. For example, the giant vigor array covering the testing forest was made by the many array builders of Dahuang Palace together.

As for weapon creators, just like the name suggested, they created weapons.

Xue Zhan and others were all curious after seeing what happened to Yan Li's badge, so he told them what to do and they all followed suit; soon, they were able to see their own information on the badges as well.

“Haha, I'm living in the same yard with Elder Brother Yan!” Xue Zhan yelled with excitement upon having his badge activated.

Joining the clan, they would have to start calling each other by Elder Brother or Younger Brother now. A person with lower skills would normally call the person with higher skills “Eldet Brother”, since Yan Li was more skilled than Xue Zhan, and Xue Zhan being head over heels for him, it'd be natural for him to call Yan Li “Elder Brother Yan” instead of “Brother Yan”.

The out-door disciples had to share a yard with others, while the in-door disciples got to have their own places. Yan Li knew so because he had lived here in the past life.

Every yard was equipped with a vigor array that could absorb and form vigor. The density of the vigor in out-door disciples' yards was twice that of the outside world, which was to say, even as an out-door disciple, one could improve twice as fast as those who didn't join the clan.

The vigor was even denser, where the in-door disciples lived! What's more, once being promoted to the elite disciple, you'd be given one of the vigor caves by the clan; and when you finally made it to the core, you could just claim a mountain among the Dahuang Range and have all the vigor there to yourself. Imagine what that would do to a person's skills.

“You get what you deserve” --this was how the clan worked, and what exactly pushed disciples of every ranking to practice harder and become better and stronger.

“I'm in 46, Human Section!” Lin Wu called out.

“Me, too!”

“Hehe, Younger Sister Situ and I will be in 47!” Yao Ling said with a smile.

Pouting, Situ Xue retorted, “Why do I get to be Younger Sister and you Elder Sister?”

Seeing this, everyone let out a hearty chuckle.

Guided by other disciples, Yan Li and his friends came to the Human Section of the Outdoor Yard. Every courtyard was delicately built and had two rooms and one living room, completed with a s.p.a.cious front yard which could be used for martial practice.

After settling down, Yan Li went down the mountain to tell Wu Zhongmou that the out-door disciples were not allowed to bring their servants or family, not until you got promoted to the indoor disciples and had your own yards.

“Young Master, you pa.s.sed the test, didn't you?” Wu Zhongmou knew he had been enlisted as soon as he saw Yan Li decked out in a cyan martial attire.

“I did! I'll be practicing in Dahuang Palace for a while before getting promoted and having you and Ling Er come live with me there.”

“It'd be like a snap of fingers for you to reach Yuan realm.” Wu Zhongmou flattered.

Yan Li put on a serious look, and waved Wu Zhongmou over to whisper something to him.

Yan Li only stayed in Luoxia Town for less than an hour before taking his Bladeless Sword back to Dahuang Palace. Seeing him off, Ling Er, who had been around and serving Yan Li since she was eight, couldn't help but tear up.

“It's okay, little Ling Er. Our Young Master will soon become an indoor disciple and you will be serving him again by then.”

“Really, Uncle Wu?” Ling Er asked, looking up with teary eyes, all innocent.

“Hehe, don't you believe me, sweetie? When did I ever lie to you?”

“Okay, I understand.” She nodded firmly, as if thinking of something.

　　 …………

Once he came back to his yard, Yan Li was ready to practice right away, not daring to waste a single second, for one must be powerful enough to actually achieve something.

Xue Zhan was nowhere to be seen, Yan Li thought he'd either be saying goodbye to his family or visiting someone else's yard.

Sitting cross-legged, Yan Li started meditating almost instantly.

It would take too much time following the guidance of Mixed Yuan Cla.s.sic, so he chose to practice the skills in Catching Sky Fire, which featured the absorption of fire elements and was one of a few royal martial cla.s.sics suitable for people in Lianqi realm to follow.

Concentrated, Yan Li was quick to sense the fire elements in the void and many more to come thanks to the vigor array here.

He stopped two hours later, feeling himself one step closer to reaching the Yuan realm while the vigor inside him on the verge of forming a sea of vigor.

Yan Li thought to himself, “Will the number of the Mixed Yuan elements double here since the amount of vigor has doubled.”

He was in meditation again, sensing those extremely rare Mixed Yuan elements.

With a clearer mind, Yan Li was quick to detect the five common elements and even some darkness ones that began to gather around him.

“Is that….?” Yan Li was surprised to sense a thick ball of the Mixed Yuan elements in his chest, which reminded him that he had killed a thorn-bush leopard during the test and kept its core with him all this time.

“What if…those Mixed Yuan elements are all from that leopard's core?” Yan Li quickly stopped meditating and took the leopard's core out, putting it in his hand; then, as soon as the meditation resumed, Yan Li sensed over a hundred Mixed Yuan elements inside the second-level creature's core, whereas it took him days to only get a dozen of them when he first began practicing the Mixed Yuan Cla.s.sic.

This was fantastic! Though Yan Li wasn't sure if it was the case for all magic creatures' cores or if it was only a thorn-bush leopard thing. However, he couldn't care that much now.

Using the method from the Mixed Yuan Cla.s.sic, Yan Li absorbed all the Mixed Yuan elements from the leopard's core, which were enough to form a trace of Mixed Yuan vigor inside him.

Having something in his mind, Yan Li utilized the Mixed Yuan vigor and then pointed at the ground.

“Poof!”

At this moment, Yan Li felt as if his finger was made of iron, easily thrusting a hole through the hard rock as if it were a chunk of tofu.Lifting his finger, Yan Li gawped at how powerful this skill was--even a punch thrown by a Yuan realm master at full throttle couldn't possibly cause such a damage. Now, Yan Li had another card up in the sleeve.
