"There's one more here."
The disciple in charge of the test gave Li Boyang a strange look, seemingly curious that he hadn't had his talent tested at his age. However, he clearly recognized Ye Qingwu and didn't dare say anything when he saw that she had brought him. He gestured for Li Boyang to come up for the test.
In fact, bloodline talent testing is very common. After all, bloodline-based cultivation systems are the mainstream now, and there are talent testing facilities in almost every city.
Li Boyang stepped forward and reached his hand onto the dark stone.
As soon as he placed his hand on it, he felt a surge of energy from the stone enter his body, quickly circulate through his bloodstream, and then disappear without a trace.
The dark stone did not react at all.
The disciple in charge looked at Ye Qingwu and said, "This senior brother has no talent."
Just as I expected.
Li Boyang was not surprised by this result. His talent for traversing worlds did not come from his bloodline, nor did he have any innate physique, so it was not surprising that he did not have any talent.
After Li Boyang's test, the disciple who presided over the test saw the children with their heads down, who hadn't shown any talent. Having clearly experienced this situation many times before, he offered words of comfort:
"Alright, all the tests are done. Don't be discouraged if you don't have talent. You can become a strong person through your own efforts."
Ye Qingwu was actually quite curious about Li Boyang's lack of talent, as she was the one who introduced him to the profession and naturally knew about him.
Ye Qingwu was curious: Li Boyang was 34 years old but had not yet entered the Qi Refining Realm, and he had no talent whatsoever. Why did the previous sect leader accept him as a disciple?
Although curious, Ye Qingwu did not ask directly. After Li Boyang finished the test, she took him to the mountainside of Donghua Peak.
This is a continuous residential area, with one seven- or eight-story building after another made of blue bricks. Each floor has a separate suite, all in a classical style, but the environment is not as nice as Yingkeju.
If Yingkeju is a villa area, then this is a commercial residential area.
The people living here are all outer disciples of Donghua Peak. Uncle Li was assigned a separate room. Since it is a cultivation sect, it is not necessary for several people to be crammed together.
After leading Li Boyang to his suite, Ye Qingwu took out a thread-bound book and said:
"Memorize this as soon as possible. Before, ignorance was no excuse, but if you commit a crime after a week, it won't be so easy."
Li Boyang turned the thread-bound book over and saw the words "Dongyang School Rules" written in large characters, with "Latest Revised Edition" written below them in smaller characters.
Ye Qingwu tossed another iron plaque to Li Boyang and continued coldly, "You have a week to adjust. This is your token. Go to the Mission Hall in a week to collect your mission."
Seeing Ye Qingwu leave, Li Boyang turned around and went back to his suite.

Chapter 63 The Elder's Sudden Visit
Seven days.
The seven days that Dongyang gave Li Boyang were not meant to be spent idly for seven days.
These seven days are for him to familiarize himself with the sect.
Like the children selected from Yunhua, Zhenghua, Donghua, and the Three Kingdoms, they used these seven days to learn about the sect's system, rules, building layout, and so on.
"This is outrageous! They've made us escort the goods twice in a row."
"Don't even mention it, there are people who are even worse off than us. I heard that several of Feng Yu's group died while they went to pick meteor grass on the cliff."
"No way."
"Of course it's true. Ever since Elder Sun left, life has become increasingly difficult."
"I heard it's because the higher-ups are unwilling to relinquish power, and we've just been caught in the crossfire."
The next morning, Li Boyang, who had just finished his morning exercise, saw more than a dozen outer sect disciples who looked travel-worn and dusty, and it seemed that they had just returned from carrying out sect missions.
Listening to the disciples' muttering, Li Boyang felt something was off, but he didn't pay it any mind.
Seven days passed by little by little.
On the first day, he memorized the entire set of rules, which was essential, as only in this way could he gain maximum freedom within the limits permitted by the rules.
The next day, he toured the Dongyang Sect's architectural complex, except for the forbidden areas, and learned that the more important functional buildings in the Dongyang Sect were roughly divided into the Mission Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Inheritance Hall, Weapon Pavilion, Medicine Pavilion, and Scripture Pavilion.
The Mission Hall is mainly where sects issue missions and disciples receive missions. Outer disciples of the Dongyang Sect must complete one mission assigned by the sect each month.
After each mission is completed, the sect will provide compensation in spirit stones based on the difficulty of the mission. Then, the disciple can choose to rest for two months or continue to accept the next mission.
Yuan Stones can not only accelerate cultivation, but also serve as a universal currency. The Yuan Stones issued by the Dongyang Sect are all processed, and each one weighs exactly one or two ounces.
Yuan stones are further divided into superior, medium, and inferior grades based on their quality.
The Enforcement Hall is primarily responsible for supervising the sect rules and punishing violators, handling complaints from disciples, maintaining public order, and hunting down traitors.
The Inheritance Hall is where martial arts techniques are passed down. The martial arts classics for the Acquired Realm are available for free. When a disciple enters the Qi Refining Realm, they can choose one martial arts classic for free. If they want to read more, they will have to use spirit stones to borrow it.
As for the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Bo didn't ask. Cultivation emphasizes being down-to-earth and avoids being overly ambitious. It's not too late to learn about it when you reach the Qi Refining Realm.
The Weaponry Pavilion is where weapons are forged. Both outer and inner disciples can order weapons from the Weaponry Pavilion, but it costs money, specifically Yuan Stones.
The main function of the Medicine Pavilion is to heal injuries, not to cure diseases. It also sells medicines for treating injuries. Come to think of it, the Dongyang Sect is a cultivation sect, and martial artists don't get sick so easily.
The Sutra Repository is a rather interesting place. Li Boyang actually prefers to call it a library. It doesn't contain martial arts manuals, but rather classics from various schools of thought and strange tales from the three kingdoms of Yunhua, Zhenghua, and Donghua.
