Chapter 2238 - 2241: Am I a Connected Insider?

After hearing the innkeeper's words, most of these low-level disciples from faraway places decided to stay after discussing among themselves.

The Xuanyuan Inn indeed has a gathering of Spiritual Energy, making it clearly an excellent place for cultivation and rest.

While ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones seem like a lot, it isn't excessive enough to make these powerful figures of the lower realms feel the pain.

Qin Tian currently doesn't feel much about High Grade Spirit Stones either; his Storage Bag contains millions of them, so he can easily afford tens of thousands.

Earlier, he saw Suo Xin and the two others offering tokens and directly entering the Outer Disciple area.

He had a token from Shenyue, but after some hesitation, he chose not to use it and decided to stay temporarily with Xu San.

What's the point of going in before the selection day?

However, in the evening, Qin Tian overheard some explosive news at the inn.

It turns out those with tokens could directly enter the Outer Disciple area because they had connections!

These connections refer to when Elder of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect discovers promising cultivation talents during their travels or by chance elsewhere and grants them tokens in advance, indicating they would receive preferential treatment at the selection.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was stunned.

So, he realizes he is actually a connection?

Shenyue arranged a connection token for him?

Two days later, on the 14th of August, Qin Tian planned to test this.

When Xu San went to register, Qin Tian didn't; instead, he headed directly towards the passage leading to the Outer Disciple area.

"What's your business here? Not everyone can enter!"

Two Outer Disciples stopped Qin Tian.

Qin Tian showed his token.

"Oh?!"

The two were immediately stunned upon seeing the token in Qin Tian's hand.

Suddenly, their superior attitude changed to an ingratiating smile, saying, "Please, please, please, the Outer Gathering Area is just ahead, and if you're heading to the Inner Sect, you'd need to go three miles up."

Qin Tian was briefly caught off guard by their sudden change of attitude.

Wait, weren't there a few people with tokens who just went inside? I didn't see these two ingratiate themselves to them like they did to me.

"Safe travels, senior brother."

As Qin Tian walked inside in a daze, the two Outer Disciples sweetly called out.

What's going on?

Qin Tian looked at the token in his hand.

What exactly is Shenyue's position within Xuanyuan Immortal Sect?

Why does it seem that he has an unusual status, giving him the ability to acquire a token for me?

Moreover, this silver token indeed seems different from the others...

Filled with immense curiosity, Qin Tian proceeded towards the Outer Disciple Gathering Area.

Inside was spacious, with rows of Practice Rooms seemingly constructed from multicolored Spirit Stones.

Training here undoubtedly achieves twice the results with half the effort.

The further he went inside, the denser the buildings became, and Qin Tian saw many people chatting and laughing as they paced past him.

Among them were seemingly young people in their thirties and forties and also elderly white-bearded men appearing in their seventies and eighties, some bonding as close friends, a sight that made Qin Tian feel slightly unreal.

Earlier, Shenyue had given him a token, indicating he should proceed inside.

Then Shenyue told Qin Tian not to reveal that the token was given by him…

Inside, Qin Tian was unsure what Shenyue planned.

However, seeing this situation, it seemed he could use this token to continue towards the Inner Sect?

Earlier, those two Outer Disciples had explained to Qin Tian how to get to the Inner Sect.

Thinking this, Qin Tian passed through the Outer Disciple residential area swiftly, arriving at the main entrance of the Inner Disciple zone.

"Do you have a token?"

At the inner entrance, a guardian dressed in white was also present.

This white-clad disciple's garment was adorned with gold trimmings and embroidered with the Inner Sect characters on the chest, undoubtedly displaying a more prestigious status than those of the Outer Disciples.

Qin Tian showed his token.

The Inner Disciple instantly brightened up upon seeing it and said, "Then, please proceed inside. Today and tomorrow, Inner Sect Disciples have pre-selections. You're among the first batch to arrive. Since you have the Silver Token, it's presumed your backing is substantial, and this master selection would be merely a formality. Please go inside."

Unexpectedly, upon displaying the Silver Token, this Inner Disciple was also quite respectful to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian replied and walked towards a palace within.

This palace was smaller than those in the Spiritual Domain but exuded an aura of serene immortality.

Upon entering, Qin Tian found seven or eight people already seated, quietly drinking tea.

As Qin Tian entered, a servant at the entrance promptly guided him to a rear seat, saying, "Young Master, please have some tea and wait."

Qin Tian was still a bit dazed.

He inquired of the servant, "What am I waiting for here? Is the disciple selection today?"

Surprised, the servant replied, "Young Master, do you not know the purpose of your visit here?"

Seeing Qin Tian remain silent, the servant continued, "Only those with Silver Tokens can come here. The Elders and Exalted Ones of our Immortal Sect can conduct pre-selections for those with Silver Tokens, chosen ones merely have a ceremony at tomorrow's selection assembly..."

"Oh, I see, thank you."

The servant's explanation confirmed Qin Tian's suspicions.

Shenyue had given him a token but hadn't explained much, leading Qin Tian here by accident.

Could this mean Shenyue intended for him to be pre-selected today?

Since he was here, he decided to take things as they came, opting not to overthink.

Having a Silver Token allowing for early selection surely was a favorable opportunity, and Qin Tian wouldn't willingly give it up.

After all, to advance rapidly in the Immortal Domain, securing a skilled master and obtaining more Cultivation Immortality Resources is the fastest approach.

Including Qin Tian, eight people were in the hall, waiting for over two hours until noon when finally sounds were heard outside.

"Haha... The prosperity of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect relies on the annual selection of elite disciples. Today and tomorrow should see the arrival of all those with Silver Tokens. I've heard eight are already present today, so why don't we make some selections and see."

A hearty, clear voice was heard as more than ten people walked in from outside the hall.
