umulating enough points, they could exchange for sect goods or manuals which were unavailable to non-sect individuals.

As the evening approached, Li Fuchen put on his outer sect disciple attire and headed towards one of the food halls in the outer sect district.

This food hall was situated in the 2nd grade disciples’ sector, it has a total of 3 floors and was already packed with people.
The first floor provided complimentary normal meals, the second floor provides nutritional meals that required 1 silver coin, and the third floor offered high class meals for 1 gold coin.

Normal meals referred to meals that were slightly better than the average household’s, 1 meat and 1 vegetable.
Nutritional meals were much lavishing and was about the same standard as the meals Li Fuchen had back at home.
As for high class meals, Li Fuchen only had a chance to eat those during special occasions.

After pondering for some time, Li Fuchen decided to go for the 2nd floor.
Even though normal meals were free, but it contained too little nutrition, and were only suitable for average people.

After ordering a meal, Li Fuchen found a spot to sit down.
He suddenly overheard gossips from the other tables.

“Have you heard? One of the outer sect’s 10 prodigies, Guan Xue, cultivated the White Wave Technique to the fifth rank.”

“You are joking right? Didn’t she just entered the Cang Lan Sect 4 months ago?”

“What’s wrong with only 4 months? Guan Xue has a 4 star water bone frame and cultivating water based techniques would only require half the time normally needed.”

“White Wave Technique, fifth rank?” Li Fuchen was astonished, he clearly remembered, Guan Xue used nearly 1 year to cultivate the Water Moon Technique to the fifth rank.
It is understandable as the Water Moon Technique was just a high-tier, yellow class technique, but how can it be comparable to the White Wave Technique, which was a peak-tier, yellow class technique.

“Perhaps it is due to both the Water Moon and White Wave Techniques being water based techniques and have many similarities.”

Li Fuchen couldn’t have know, how good Guan Xue’s innate perception was.
Everyone had their own secrets, just like himself.
Had it not been for the genius contest, none would have known his cultivation rank and sword arts rank.

After dinner, Li Fuchen returned to his personal courtyard.
Before it got late, Li Fuchen practiced his Red Jade Sword Style, followed by the routine cultivation of the Red Jade Technique.

The next morning, Li Fuchen arrived at the outer sect disciple’s great hall.

Outer sect Great Elder, Xiao Changfeng stood at the front of everyone and pointed towards a long table, “My Cang Lan Sect has a total of 10 sect entry techniques.
You can pick any one that is either of your preference or has a similar trait to your previous cultivation technique.
Take extra care and consideration before picking the entry technique; otherwise, it may delay your time for cultivation.”

“Alright then, form groups of ten and proceed over in your groups.
Once you pick your entry techniques, you may go to the side hall.” Xiao Changfeng said while standing at the side.

After queuing for nearly an hour, it was time Li Fuchen’s group to pick their entry technique.

“Purple Qi Technique, pure yet powerful.”

“Evergreen Technique, balanced and placid.”

“Iron Shell Technique, ferocious tyranny.”

“White Wave Technique, gentle and adaptable like water”

“Scarlet Fire Technique, violent and rampant.”

…

(TL note: They didn’t say anything about the other 5 techniques)

Ten different techniques, each unique in their own ways.
Had these techniques been brought out to the public, it would most definitely instigate a bloody war between the clans.
In the Cang Lan Sect however, these were just entry ranked techniques that were free for anyone to cultivate.

After looking through every technique, Li Fuchen finally picked the Scarlet Fire Technique.

There were two reasons for him choosing the Scarlet Fire Technique:

Firstly, his current cultivation technique was also fire based, the Red Jade Technique.
Thus, it would ease the difficulty of the Scarlet Fire Technique due to their similarities.

Secondly, the Cang Lan Sect had two ultimate techniques, they are the True Cang Lan Technique and the True Inferno Technique.
Had he picked any other techniques, the path towards learning the True Inferno Technique would be cut off, even though he was still far from being able to cultivate it.
