'This Xiao Ming really is trouble attracting thing. How did he survive so long even after offending everyone around him? He didn't have any big background. Does he already have the Token Of Luck? Or else I don't think he can survive with this kind of temperament.' Ye Tian Yun assessed the things he just overheard.

Ye Tian Yun had guessed that most probably these three disciples had gotten into an argument over a pill with Xiao Ming. And since Xiao Ming being an Outer Court Disciple didn't listen to the demands of the Inner Court disciple, he was now in trouble after offending him.

After thinking some more, he thought of testing the waters against the trio in the chain bridge. He wanted to know if they really were expressing their true thoughts or not.

He turned towards the Inner Court disciple, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother. This junior brother is called Fang Chen. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, were you talking about Xiao Ming from the Ninth Peak?"

"Hm? Why do you care?" The Inner Court disciple retorted with an arrogant face. In his eyes, Outer Court disciples weren't worth his time.

"It's nothing, Senior Brother. But I have heard of Xiao Ming, that guy is arrogant as heavens and even thinks no one is better than him. At the Ninth Peak, after he arrived, many old disciples suffered. If not for Seventh Prince Xin Jun's backing, somebody would have already finished him off. I hope Senior Brother can teach him a lesson and let him know his place." Ye Tian Yun tried his best to make himself sound like a pleading poor man. Though he felt like vomiting from his act.

"A lesson? Well, I can only say that he better pray that he doesn't fall in my, Shao An's, hands. He will learn the hard way why one shouldn't mess with the Heavenly League." The Inner Court disciple smirked and moved and the chain bridge had brought them to the Seventh Peak. After getting off, he didn't even look back at Ye Tian Yun and went on his way.

'Is this really the biggest arrogant idiot of the seventh Peak, Fang Chen? Since, when did he turn so respectful?' The two Outer Court disciples gave Ye Tian Yun a weird look and thought.

They were disciples of the Seventh Peak and had heard of an arrogant new disciple who only had a good background but his cultivation talent became mediocre after he suffered Qi deviation.

Feeling the situation a bit incomprehensible, they ignored it and ran back to follow their Senior Brother.

After walking off the chain bridge, what entered his eyes was a spacious, stone platform, and a building stood atop the stone platform.

After observing the hustle-bustle in front of him, Ye Tian Yun came to a sudden understanding, 'So it turned out that this was the location where the disciples of Seventh Peak ordinarily bought and exchanged both medicinal pills and spirit weapons.'

Here, one was able to spend gold and silver to buy medicinal pills and spirit weapons, or they could use materials to exchange for medicinal pills and spirit weapons.

On the northern part of the Gracious Sword Sect, there was the primeval forest, it was the real Gracious Mountain Range, it was inaccessible to commoners and low-level cultivators, and was vast without boundary, and within it were various medicinal materials and ore deposits that were inexhaustible….

Unless a Gracious Sword Sect disciple was born from a rich family, they would all enter the primeval forest to search for materials to exchange for medicinal materials and spirit weapons for cultivation and to increase their strengths.

Of course, within this primeval forest was an exceedingly large amount of savage spirit beasts.

Allegedly, there were even quite a few demon beasts deep within this forest.

So this primeval forest had also become the ordinary location where many Gracious Sword Sect disciples gained experience and trained.

…

Ye Tian Yun roamed around the Seventh Peak. He didn't know where Fang Chen cultivated, nor could he ask someone, this may raise suspicions. However, this situation would have made him worried if he was in any other sect.

In the Gracious Sword Sect, all of the disciples had to fight for their own places of cultivation around the entire Seventh Peak. Anyone could seize a location that was already taken by another, but they must not kill another!

Even new Outer Court disciples had to fight for a place to cultivate.

The powerful disciples took over the best Qi gathering locations, while the low-level disciples had no choice but to cultivate in scarce Qi surroundings.

This also included Fang Chen, who due to his scheming nature, didn't show much of his cultivation. With the 5th Level of Qi Refining level, he could have easily taken over a cultivation area with average Qi density.

Some might say it was stupid, however, his case was different. He was just a pawn in the big scheme of things, and he just didn't want himself to get much attention in terms of talent and cultivation too early before he could find a safe way out of his predicament.

"Looks like the Gracious Sword Sect tacitly consents to the competition between sect disciples…." Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but sigh emotionally in his heart. The environment within the Gracious Sword Sect was similar to the law of survival within nature, the law of the jungle!

He could imagine how some of the good places on Seventh Peak would have surely been already occupied by another.

So if he wanted to find a place with a good environment, then he must use his cultivation prowess to seize it from the grasps of another.

This was something that Yun Tian Yun didn't feel averse to.

This was a world where the strong were respected, and it ran on the basis of survival of the fittest!

"My top priority right now is to find a good place." Ye Tian Yun was clear in his heart that there was no point in thinking too much now, and he must first find a target before taking action.
