After they came out, they could not help feeling that cultivation was like this. Under the same environment, some people made rapid progress in cultivation, while others stagnated for some reason. The cultivation environment of Qingfeng hall is really good, but not everyone can adapt. Some people may be stuck for several years because of a small problem.

The disciples who enter the factotum every year who can break through the gas refining period will generally break through one after another in the first 20 years inland. After this peak, the number will be very small. Because at this stage, many people are over 40 or 50 years old, and their physical fitness begins to decline gradually. Needless to say, even if they can barely break through the Qi refining period, they have no future in their life. Therefore, they break cans and fall, and their cultivation is not active. They just live in the factotum.

There are many such people in each group of disciples, accounting for nearly half of the total. Some are too poor to break through, some are delayed beyond the best age, some can't afford to buy condensing Qi pills, some have changes in the elders, and more are just lazy and have no upward heart. Because of this, the factotum will have tens of thousands of disciples.

For example, Ma Hai, who had a conflict with Qingyang last time, reluctantly won a place in the immortal gate because of his relationship with Qingyu Sanren in the talisman Institute, but the resources are limited. It's too late for Qingyu Sanren to take care of his immediate descendants. How can he spend more energy for MA Hai? Therefore, Ma Hai's current accomplishments are based on his own experience in the factotum for more than 20 years.

There are many people like him in the factotum. He is in his early 40s and has little competitiveness. If he can get a condensate pill in a short time, he may be able to walk in the outer yard, otherwise he will have to stay in the factotum until he dies.

Of course, Muling and sang Qinglan are still young. There will be a lot of time in the future. No one can guarantee that they will not break through. With emotion, they went to the hall of the factotum, found senior brother Ding Sijin, who was responsible for the daily management of the disciples, and reported that they had broken through the gas refining period.

More than three years have passed since Qingyang and Luding mountain were introduced. Every three years, hundreds of new disciples will come back to the factotum. A few months ago, a group of new disciples joined. Now they are no longer new disciples.

Although they are not the fastest to break through the cultivation among the group of entry-level factotum disciples of Qingyang and Luding mountain, they are especially ahead among the hundreds of disciples. No more than 20 people can surpass them. Such a disciple may not achieve worse than himself in the future, so elder martial brother Ding is very polite to them.

Especially when he found the data of Qingyang, he saw that Qingyang had only spent more than three years to break through from the sixth floor of Kaimai territory to the gas refining period. He was only 19 years old this year, which shocked him. Such a speed is very rare even among the direct children of the heads of various academies. Is this boy also the illegitimate son of which head of the academies?

In any case, these two people have a promising future, and their future achievements will not be lower than themselves. If the opportunity comes, it is not impossible to break through the foundation period. So elder martial brother Ding didn't dare to neglect. He quickly registered them and took them to the outer courtyard of Qingfeng hall.

The outer courtyard is also on the top of the mountain. It is not far from the factotum. It is only more than an hour's journey. Ding Sijin soon came to the outer courtyard with Qingyang and Luding mountain.

The environment of the outer courtyard is better than that of the factotum. The courtyard here is at least two or three times the size of the factotum. It also has all the functions and is more complete.

The number of disciples in the outer courtyard of Qingfeng hall is more than 6000, which is not much less than that of the factotum. Therefore, the area of the whole outer courtyard is much larger than that of the factotum, which also looks spectacular. The outer courtyard is full of aura, which is better than the cultivation environment of the factotum.

The layout of the outer courtyard is similar to that of the factotum. The main hall of the outer courtyard is also in the middle. Outside, there are layers of small courtyards where the disciples of the outer courtyard live. The only difference is that the Deacon and steward handling sundries in the main hall here are martial uncles during the foundation period. Also, the disciples of the outer courtyard are in the Qi refining period. If they are managed by some Qi practitioners, they may not be able to manage them.

A martial uncle surnamed Deng is responsible for the daily management of disciples in the outer courtyard. Senior brother Ding led Qingyang and Lu Dingshan to martial uncle Deng before leaving.

Uncle Deng is also familiar with this kind of thing. He first briefly introduced them to the treatment and rules of the outer court, and then sent a lot of things to everyone.

The most important of them is their identity token. They changed from a factotum disciple to a disciple of the outer court, followed by a jade amulet, which is a keepsake of the Chuangong Academy. With this thing, you can go to the Chuangong academy to choose a skill more than the Qi refining period. This is a free opportunity. If you still need it in the future, you can only buy it yourself.

In addition to these things, there is also a control sign for the array outside the small courtyard and the welfare for the first year after becoming a disciple of the outer courtyard. It is four spirit stones and four Qi gathering pills used to improve cultivation.

Of course, this is not enough for a gas refining friar. However, the sect has 6000 external disciples alone. All the resources needed add up to a large number, so the sect can only ensure some of the most basic needs. If it is not enough, it needs to take some external tasks or find other ways to earn money.

After all this, Qingyang and Luding mountain will be the disciples of the outer courtyard of Qingfeng hall. Other aspects of the outer courtyard are similar to those of the factotum. They went to get some common living materials together, and then they went back to their assigned courtyard.

The area of this small courtyard is two or three times larger than that of the factotum, and the layout inside is more exquisite. This small courtyard not only has those basic functions, but also has some rooms with special functions, such as practice field, pill room, etc., and even places for feeding spirit beasts.

As expected, the higher the cultivation, the better the treatment. Such a yard is about to catch up with the manors of those rich gentry in the secular world. However, for monks, these are external things, and cultivation is the fundamental. If they pay too much attention to these external conditions, they will lose in enjoyment sooner or later.

Qingyang is used to a hard life, but he won't be confused by these foreign things. He took his things to the house and settled down in the yard.

Looking at his own yard, Qingyang couldn't help feeling that he was also a gas refining Friar and became an external disciple of Qingfeng hall. From then on, he also had a place in the immortal gate.
