Even if he had some mysterious reason for cultivating to the Fifth Rank Warrior, such talent had no further potential for advancement, and resources spent on him would be a waste.
As for the outer disciples, it was still better. Even if they were given the treatment of inner disciples, the resources were limited, and even if they were supported for nothing, they could still afford it.
Supporting a disciple who might be a pharmacist, they were willing to take a gamble, but not anymore.
Hu Chi and the others wanted to say something, but they were also stopped by their elders.
This promise could not be given lightly. The resources for a core disciple were very abundant, and using them on someone with no talent, they naturally did not agree.
Moreover, with Ye Feng's talent, giving him the treatment of an inner disciple was already a favor.
Bai Lingyu and the others could not contradict their elders, but when they looked at Ye Feng, a hint of shame flashed in their eyes. After all, Ye Feng had not only saved their lives but was also a pharmacist!
Guo Zhen Shan and the others had another reason for doing this: they did not believe Ye Feng was a pharmacist. How precious were pharmacists? Ye Feng was only seventeen years old, how could he possibly be a pharmacist? Besides, according to the brothers, Ye Feng was a body cultivator. If a body cultivator could have the strength of the seventh or eighth rank, it was understandable.
But what good was having great strength? With such talent, he would only stop at the Fifth Rank and would never advance further. Once Bai Lingyu and the others reached the Sixth Rank, they would surely far surpass Ye Feng.
Originally, Guo Zhen Shan and the others, after hearing Bai Lingyu's account, had high hopes for Ye Feng. But now, the talent Ye Feng displayed was so different that they could not adapt.
If it weren't for Ye Feng saving their lives, they probably wouldn't even give him the treatment of an inner disciple.
In their view, the treatment of an inner disciple was a form of compensation for Ye Feng's act of saving their lives.
At this moment, it didn't matter which sect Ye Feng joined.
"Brother, if you join our Lan Shui Sect, I'll share half of my resources with you!"
"Yes, Brother Ye, I'll do the same!"
"Right..."
They could not contradict their elders, but they still spoke up. They could not control the sect's resources, but they could control their own.
"Nonsense..."
...
Guo Zhen Shan and Hu Yao immediately shouted angrily when they heard Bai Lingyu's words.
The resources of core disciples were only slightly less than theirs. Dividing such resources in half would affect their cultivation, and Guo Zhen Shan and the others would not allow it.
The young men waiting for the assessment below thought differently from Bai Lingyu and the others. They all looked at Ye Feng with envy.
Why did they join the sect? For nothing else but resources!
So, identity was not important; the resources obtained were the most important. The resources of an inner disciple were ten times those of an outer disciple. Even if they passed the assessment, they would only be outer disciples. Inner disciples were something even the outer sect managers could only look up to, and one had to show exceptional talent and strength to join the inner sect.
And all of this, Ye Feng could achieve immediately.
Even the chief examiner of Ye Feng's team showed a surprised look.
If Ye Feng had talent, this condition would not be excessive. The key was that Ye Feng had no talent at all! He had withdrawn the condition for this reason. Therefore, he could not understand why the inner sect elders would offer such a condition.
And the core disciples were even more willing to share half of their resources. The resources of core disciples were ten times those of inner disciples, and even half of the resources made them drool.
"Brother Hu, Brother Bai, Brother Zhou, Brother Li, thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining a sect. Please understand!"
Neither Guo Zhen Shan's words nor Bai Lingyu's words affected Ye Feng. Bai Lingyu and the others sincerely invited him and offered such conditions, and because of their relationship, he did not know how to refuse. But when Guo Zhen Shan and the others changed the conditions, Ye Feng felt a sense of relief and naturally refused.
"Brother Ye! You..."
Bai Lingyu and the others wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Feng's determined gaze, they swallowed their words.
In their minds, Ye Feng's choice meant that the conditions offered by their sect were not enough. After all, would someone like Ye Feng join the outer sect?
Even they would not join the outer sect, so after saying half of their words, they could only sigh inwardly.
Guo Zhen Shan and the others did not care. Ye Feng's talent determined his future, so after Ye Feng refused, none of them tried to persuade him further. If it weren't for the possibility that Ye Feng was a pharmacist, they probably wouldn't even give him the treatment of an outer disciple.
The sect's resources could not be wasted.
"Brother Ye, you can actually join the Loose Cultivators' Alliance. The alliance is a loose organization with no requirements for cultivators and does not impose any conditions..."
After Ye Feng refused, Zhou Yue hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Hearing Zhou Yue's words, Ye Feng was taken aback and slowly nodded.
He now had some understanding of the Loose Cultivators' Alliance. The alliance was divided into inner and outer alliances. The inner alliance consisted of disciples cultivated by the Loose Cultivators' Alliance, similar to a sect. The outer alliance consisted of loose cultivators, and the alliance did not impose any constraints on any outer alliance cultivators.
Zhou Yue was an inner alliance disciple, and the ordinary cultivators were outer alliance disciples. It was not that they did not want to join the inner alliance, but they were not qualified. Those who could join the inner alliance were all talented cultivators.
Although these loose cultivators were not very useful, they had the advantage of numbers. Therefore, the Loose Cultivators' Alliance had the most materials and treasures, and its information was the most extensive.
Even many sects bought information from them.
Loose cultivators who discovered dangerous places or valuable items could sell them to the Loose Cultivators' Alliance, and if they lacked something, they could buy it from the alliance.
They could also post tasks on the Loose Cultivators' Alliance to acquire what they needed. After all, human resources are limited, and exchanging for what is needed is inevitable.
For loose cultivators, the Loose Cultivators' Alliance was more like a comprehensive trading market, only charging a certain intermediary fee.
One could say that the Loose Cultivators' Alliance was somewhat similar to the Tian Bao Pavilion, but it was more oriented towards ordinary cultivators, while the Tian Bao Pavilion was oriented towards high-level cultivators. It was like the difference between a supermarket and a shopping center.
To enter this large trading market, one had to register as a member of the Loose Cultivators' Alliance.
Since he had already been eliminated, Ye Feng naturally had no reason to stay. Besides, he had only participated in the test to know his own attributes.
Although his talent was only second-class, he was still satisfied. It was just that his physical attributes gave him a headache.
Five elements balanced, which made him somewhat helpless. Although he could cultivate all five elements' techniques and skills, this balanced attribute made it difficult for him to achieve much in techniques and skills.
Should he always cultivate basic techniques?
No, having an attribute meant he could cultivate attribute techniques...
As Ye Feng walked, he thought hard, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
In three months, he had cultivated from nothing to the Sixth Rank Warrior, and his body cultivation had reached an unprecedented level. His development had already transcended the norm.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye..."
As Ye Feng was walking back, he suddenly heard Bai Lingyu and the others calling him from behind.
Ye Feng turned around and saw Bai Lingyu, Hu Chi, and the others quickly flying over.
"Sister Qian, Brother Bai, Brother Hu, Brother Zhou, Brother Li!"
Seeing them, Ye Feng greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Ye, this... it's our fault..."
"Brothers, do you think I can't cultivate without the resources of a sect?"
Hearing their words, how could Ye Feng not understand their meaning? So, he smiled and said.
