After the banquet, Yang Zhen declined Dou Manxiong's invitation to return to Wushui County, and walked into Zhao Yue'er's mansion with the other party's envious and jealous eyes.
As soon as he entered the door, he was surprised to find that there was another person in the house.
"Sister Zixue, are you back too?"
Zixue smiled and nodded gently.
"Senior sister, why don't you attend the dinner?"
"Sister, I don't like this kind of entertainment. It's not like you don't know." Zhao Yue'er walked out of the back room, shook Zixue's arm and begged: "Sister, I don't want to be the host of this temple anymore. It's so boring to eat and talk with those people. !".
Zixue stroked her hair lovingly: "Okay, okay. After you come out of Panxi Mountain, wherever you want to go, I won't bother to care about you."
The little girl took off her attire as a spectator and kept only the white silk shirt. Her waist was as slim as a willow, and she was lazily and charmingly naive. Seeing Yang Zhen moving her index finger, she wished she could go up and take Zixue's place, so that she could hug him. A caress in the arms.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Yue'er, are all these people here for Panxi Mountain?"
Zhao Yue'er was not surprised: "Did that guy Dou Manxiong tell you?"
"No," Yang Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "The fat man refused to say anything. I made my own guess. However, I don't know why they insisted on taking a post in Wushan County."
"Let Sister Zixue tell you about this!" Zhao Yuer said with a smile.
Zixue stayed here originally because she wanted to talk about this matter. Hearing this, she smiled sweetly and said slowly:
"The sect allocated fifty of the two hundred places in Panxi Mountain specifically for Wushan County. The reason is that Wushan County is closest to Panxi Mountain, as you said, it is close to the water and the towers, so it should have enjoyed some benefits. "
"Secondly, in this negotiation in the Eastern Territory, Wushan County, as the host, performed its duties well, so I will reward you with this."
"But..." She changed the topic, but Yang Zhen quickly understood the real reason.
"The 150 people from the sect will naturally be selected from the entire sect and the winners will be selected. The 50 people from Wushan County can only be selected from Wushan County, and the registration qualifications are also restricted -"
"All foundation-building monks who are normally registered in Wushan County, regardless of gender or age, can participate. The registration fee is one medium-grade spiritual stone. In addition, in Wushan County, including the sect's foundation-building monks who serve in the Wushui County Hall, Disciples are also eligible to participate."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized.
There are less than a hundred foundation-building monks in the entire Wushan County, and including today's outsiders, there are only a hundred or twenty or thirty. Compared to the selection of only 150 people from the entire sect, the difficulty is countless times lower!
No wonder the Wushan County Temple had dozens of deputy museum leaders, deputy director subjects, and other foundation-building monks overnight. They all came here to sign up for the election and take advantage of this!
"Choose one of two or three. These people come to our Wushan County and have a lot of hope." Yang Zhen said with emotion.
Even so, he didn't think that Mu Tianlu and Lan Caifang, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment disciples, would definitely win in Wushan County.
"It's not about choosing one of two or three, but choosing 100% of them all," Zixue said with a trace of sarcasm on her lips: "Everyone of the monks at today's dinner must choose. Otherwise, why would their family spend so much effort!"
"How to guarantee this?" Yang Zhen asked with interest: "You can't cheat!"
"It's just cheating, cheating openly." Zixue said with a smile: "Today's dinner, there was a person named Jin Zhangeng, do you have any impressions, junior brother?"
How could Yang Zhen not be impressed? Sitting at the bottom, next to Zhao Yue'er, he was the first person to be introduced. Of course he remembered it.
"This person has completed his foundation building. I feel that he is very strong."
"That's right! He was fifth in the Eastern Territory Competition two years ago, and is known as the number one person below the Yunxiao Sect's Zifu."
Yang Zhen had heard about the Eastern Territory Competition not long after she came to the sect, but it was still too far away from her at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Every ten years, all the countries in the Eastern Region, including relatively independent powers such as Sangzhou and the Island Alliance, will select a number of foundation-building monks under the age of forty to go to Zhou Kingdom to participate in a fighting competition.
Performing well in the fight will not only bring honor to one's own country, but also have the opportunity to enter a secret realm in the Zhou Kingdom to learn Taoism. The top three will also receive personal guidance from the god-forming ancestor of the Eastern Region, which can be described as a great blessing!
This tradition has lasted for more than two thousand years. It not only greatly improved the prestige of the Zhou Kingdom, but also helped various countries contact each other and resolve conflicts. It can be said to be the largest event in the Eastern Region.
Naturally, this has also become the best stage for the proud men from all over the world to compete with each other and surpass the others with their skills!
After finishing fifth in such a competition, Jin Zhan Geng's strength is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary foundation-building perfectionists!
Although Yang Zhen has entered the foundation building stage and her strength is no longer the same as it was three months ago, but compared with such a person, the gap is probably a huge difference.
"If you are so powerful, you still need to come to Wushan County to grab a spot?" After listening to Zixue's introduction, he was even more confused.
"Jin Zhangen came here to set a benchmark." Zixue said leisurely.
It turns out that the selection in Wushan County is divided into two stages. First, they are divided into three levels according to their cultivation level: the early stage, the middle stage and the late stage of foundation building. Those who pass the test of the Nine-Nine Illusion Formation will then fight against Jin Zhangen.
The ranking is determined based on the length of time each person persists and their performance in the battle.
As for defeating him, no one would think so.
"With so many people fighting against him, how many days will it take? Won't this guy get tired?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
"Jin Zhangeng's strength is far stronger than you think," Zixue said with a smile: "Most monks are afraid that they will not last three breaths under his hands, so it won't take long and won't consume much of his energy."
"Now, have you figured it out?" Zixue asked with a smile.
Yang Zhen understood.
Jin Zhangeng is extremely powerful and can completely control the rhythm of the entire fight.
In other words, who he plays for, how long he plays, and whether someone performs well or poorly are all under his control.
In this way, he will naturally decide who can pass and who cannot.
"Among the fifty people the sect gave to Wushan County, thirty-five were in the early stage of foundation building, ten were in the middle stage, and five were in the later stage. Tonight's banquet includes Jin Zhangen, you and Dou Manxiong, and there are four people in total. In the late stage of foundation building, eight people are in the middle stage of foundation building, and 28 are in the early stage. Therefore, the number of places reserved for Wushan County locals is actually only ten people."
"Of course, for a border county, ten places are already very good."
Zixue said finally.
Yang Zhen was silent.
This rule may sound fair, but it is actually prepared for the wealthy children of the sect. You can't even fault the whole process.
As for Wushan County appointing so many deputy positions at once, is that a big deal?
It is indeed an aboveboard cheating!
This is very similar to those carrot jobs in the previous life!
