Along the way, Sebastian also gave a rough explanation of the rules of the spiritual apprentice list. The ranking of the spiritual apprentice list was direct, and it was based on the first-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples‘ strength.
Every three months, there would be a competition among the first-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples. Then, the ranking on the competition would be reflected on the spiritual apprentice list. Naturally, the higher the ranking, the better the rewards. However, the rewards each time would be different, and Sebastian was also not aware of what the sect would give next. The most recent competition just ended a few days ago, which meant the ranking on the spiritual apprentice list that Caspian saw just now was the latest one. Therefore, the next ranking competition would be held three months later.
“Three months…” Caspian quietly pondered.
Sebastian could guess Caspian’s thoughts, and favonovel.com could not help but remind Caspian, “Casper, although your performance was outstanding during the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, you must know those who enter the sect are surely geniuses. It hasn’t been long since you entered the sect, and unlike those disciples ranked at the top of the list, some of them are in this realm for more than ten years, which means they’re experienced. Hence, you should improve your realm first. Then, you can start doing more sect’s missions. Once you become stronger, you can join the competition to get the ranking. After all, as long as you‘re a first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, you can join the competition for the spiritual apprentice list ranking, and there’s no age limitation.”
Caspian knew that Sebastian looked out for him, so favonovel.com did not refute. He was aware that favonovel.com did not have much time to wait around. Moreover, especially after discovering that the Great Oceans Sect much likely added fuel to the fire behind the scenes when favonovel.com was drugged and wronged that year, Caspian knew that favonovel.com could not dilly-dally anymore.
At that moment, his opponents were not only Carson and his father but also the Great Oceans Sect! Although the Great Oceans Sect was not within Earlington of Efrax, Caspian was aware that the Great Oceans Sect’s status was on par with the Heavenly Stars Sect’s. Thus, why would Caspian feel that favonovel.com had enough time when favonovel.com needed to face such a colossus?
Besides that, Carson had the Demon Python Form, and such a physique was in line with the Great Oceans Sect’s practice. Thus, Carson would immediately be trained by the Great Oceans Sect as an elite once favonovel.com entered the sect. On the contrary, Caspian was still an ordinary disciple. With such an opponent, Caspian could not relax even for the slightest bit.
Caspian tucked the thoughts deep in his heart, and under Sebastian’s guidance, they arrived at the reception area for the new disciples. Caspian’s identification process went smoothly with Sebastian, an outer disciple, being by his side.
After making sure that there was no error, Caspian received his ade identification badge, a booklet on the Heavenly Stars Sect’s introductory martial skills, a Heavenly Stars Sect’s apprentice robe, and a few talismans. Besides that, Caspian also received a blue spirit stone.
“Casper, as you’re an apprentice, you can come here and collect a spirit stone for training. Don‘t you forget about it,” Sebastian reminded Caspian.
“Mhm…” Caspian nodded.
Next, following Sebastian’s direction, Caspian squeezed a drop of blood on the jade identification badge. In that instant, the blood was absorbed by the jade card, and at the same time, a faint brilliant light appeared on the surface.
Soon, Caspian’s name appeared on the jade plate. However, as favonovel.com was still using the fake identity of the Lawrence family’s son-in-law, the name of his identification badge was Casper Montgomery instead of Caspian Montgomery.
Additionally, the jade identification badge also marked that favonovel.com was an apprentice. Then, Caspian flipped the jade card over and saw the number 15 on its back.
Caspian knew that it might be the sect contribution points that favonovel.com had. However, Caspian was baffled as Maisie and Sebastian informed favonovel.com that those newly-entered disciples would only get ten contribution points. He would have to collect the points as favonovel.com completed the sect missions gradually. Surprisingly, Caspian had five extra points. These five points should not be underestimated as, firstly, getting sect contribution points was extremely hard, and it was even more so for new disciples.
Usually, those new disciples would spend at least half a month each month for the first few years in the sect to complete sect missions, and some even longer. Even so, the sect contribution points earned each month became part of the deduction, and there was no balance at all. However, Caspian was different. As soon as favonovel.com entered the sect, Caspian received five extra contribution points, which meant favonovel.com did not need to do any sect mission for at least a month. One month of uninterrupted cultivation was crucial for a new disciple as it could often widen the gap in their realm.
When Sebastian noticed that Caspian had 15 sect contribution points, his eyes flashed with a look of admiration. On the other hand, Caspian remained calm, and favonovel.com turned to the male disciple that gave favonovel.com his jade identification badge and politely asked, “Hello, may I know why I have five extra sect contribution points?”
As Caspian was polite and was even accompanied by an outer disciple, the male disciple was also extremely courteous and replied, ”Newcomers that received more contribution points than others are usually because they have made contributions or achieved great results, so the sect awards them. Why don’t you try to recall if you’ve made any contribution or achieved any results before you enter the sect?”
When the male disciple said that, Caspian quickly understood. The five extra contribution points were probably rewarded because of his outstanding achievement during the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony. He received more than 9000 points back then, proving that his martial skills were shockingly exceptional, and many sects were after him. Therefore, it was natural that Caspian received extra sect contribution points with his score.
After leading Caspian away from the reception area, Sebastian brought Caspian toward the gate of the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Soon, they arrived before a courtyard. At that time, there was no one around the place, and Sebastian pointed at the square and said, “Casper, as an apprentice, you’ll be temporarily living with other apprentices in a compound. Usually, there’ll be six apprentices sharing the same palace. However, following the ascension of your realm and you becoming an outer disciple, inner disciple, elite disciple, core disciple, and true disciple, not only will the sect reward you with your own place, you can even choose to be at the mountain top or industrial area.”
“Sharing a place…” Caspian frowned, but it was not because favonovel.com was worried about the noises. After all, when favonovel.com marched with the military, tens of thousands of people would live together. Instead, Caspian was mainly concerned about not entering the Tower of Life for training as favonovel.com wished. If Caspian disappeared under everyone’s watchful eyes, it would surely be troublesome regardless of who knew about the secret treasure favonovel.com had with him.
Caspian hid the emotion well. Although living together with other apprentices might be inconvenient, Caspian had already thought of a way to quickly fix the problem.
”The sect has a regulation where outer disciples aren’t allowed to enter the accommodation of an apprentice. Hence, it’s not convenient for me to enter,” before Sebastian left, favonovel.com even exhorted Caspian again, “Casper, remember that different disciples have different access areas. You must be careful and not overstep your boundaries! The deduction of some sect contribution points is minor, but being expelled by the sect is a major problem.”
