"Now the Alchemy Sect is not strict and its strength has been greatly reduced. A few years ago, there was a high-grade Jindan Daoist who passed away. Now there is only one high-grade Jindan Daoist left affiliated with the sect. The major sects are very resentful about this. It's just that There is one sect among the twelve small sects, named Yuhua. Not long ago, there were monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm who were all top-grade golden elixirs. They also accepted a Tianlinggen disciple whose strength was comparable to that of the Danling Sect. This one goes up and down, and the elixir Lingzong is unable to support the names of the four major sects.”
Zhao Ning saw that his area was gradually surrounded by black stones, so he simply gave up on the white stones in this area and looked for another place.
"Then what should we do when one of the four major sects changes?
Qin Keyuan saw that she had found another way, and he smiled and said, "Challenge, sacrifice to heaven, and declare to the world of cultivation."
After the words fell, Zhao Ning found that this child had contacted the previous Heizi, and it was as if she had fallen into a trap instead of avoiding him, completely blocking Bai Zi.
Zhao Ning was silent and bowed to Qin Keyuan, "Zhao Ning lost."
"It's already excellent. Kunxu's overall situation is like a chess game. Every chess piece cannot be alone. You and I are both in the game."
Qin Keyuan poured a cup of tea by himself.
"The Yuhua Sect's challenge is set for three years and will be hosted by the Qingxiao Sect. By then, all eight hundred sects will come to watch. But there is no rush to prepare for this now. I will go to the Yuhua Sect to congratulate Yunwei Zhenren's gold medal on behalf of the sect in the near future. Dan Grand Ceremony, a hundred days of banquet for the grand ceremony, and none of you will be in the sect during these hundred days."
"Zhao Ning wishes senior all the best for this trip."
"Half a decade later, the Qingxiao Sect, the other two major sects, and the twelve smaller sects successively opened orders to recruit immortals. Only the Qingxiao Sect retained two places for ancient Taoist monks."
Although she had already promised Qin Keyuan, her heart was still trembling at this moment. She looked at Qin Keyuan, who happened to be looking down.
"The places are scarce and the competition is fierce. It's up to you to fight for it."
"Zhao Ning will definitely live up to senior's expectations. I hope that after a hundred days, Zhao Ning can call senior uncle."
Chapter 062 (bug fix)
Qin Keyuan stayed at Kongzhao Mountain for three days to give advice on the difficulties in Zhao Ning's practice.
In another seven days, Zhao Ning sealed the ban on Zhaoshan Mountain and went down the mountain to see the Immortal Recruitment Ceremony of each major sect.
It took about a few hours to walk against the wind from Kongzhao Mountain to Guiyuan City. This time, unlike the last time I came to Guiyuan City, I was worried about Jia Rui's possible appearance and walked in a hurry. But now Jia Rui is digging for resistance in the new secret realm and has no chance to come. Zhao Ning had a leisurely walk if he was in trouble.
Halfway through the journey, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest on the side of the road. Zhao Ning turned around and saw an ebony tiger cat jumping towards him from the tree.
Spiritual light emerged, and in mid-air, the ebony tiger cat was wrapped in a spiritual power ball.
This ebony tiger cat should not be old, with a big and round head and medium-long limbs. It is wrapped in a spiritual power ball. It also shakes its tail and makes a coquettish cry towards Zhao Ning. The sound is louder than that of an ordinary domestic cat. The voice was rougher.
The Ebony Tiger Cat is a small spiritual beast that is rare in the world of Kunxu Cultivation. It is not very intelligent and is usually the pet of young ladies and wives of Cultivation families.
"Don't, don't hurt the little black tiger!"
Sure enough, a figure rushed over from the forest. It was a girl about the same age as Zhao Ning. She was on the second level of Qi training. She was wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt. Maybe she was in a hurry, so she held her thighs and gasped when she landed. Angry.
"Fairy, don't blame me. This is my spiritual beast. It's a bit playful and has no intention of attacking the fairy."
"It's okay."
Zhao Ning had no intention of competing with the little spiritual beast. She lost her spiritual power and the little tiger cat fell to the ground with a splat.
"Little Black Tiger, come here quickly!"
The little tiger cat fell to the ground and was a little confused. It shook its head and stood up. Without even looking at its owner, it ran happily to Zhao Ning's feet. It rubbed its little head back and forth on the crook of Zhao Ning's calf, meowing non-stop.
"Little black tiger!" The owner of the tiger cat was embarrassed. He handed over to Zhao Ninggong and went to catch the little guy himself. The little tiger cat was picked up, with its paws still hooked on the hem of Zhao Ning's clothes. The look of reluctance left the tiger cat owner speechless. Feeling embarrassed, he simply started talking to Zhao Ning.
"The fairy is making fun of me. I am Guo Ying'er of Cangcuishan. I am going to Guiyuan City to participate in the Immortal Recruitment Ceremony of the three major sects. Looking at the appearance of the fairy, I think it is the same. Why don't we go together on the journey."
Zhao Ning agreed to Guo Ying'er's suggestion and simply said her name. She saw that the little tiger cat in her arms was meowing at her.
"Ebony tiger cats are not common in the world of Kunxu cultivation. This one looks like a small leopard with thunder patterns between its eyebrows. It seems to be no ordinary spiritual beast."
The two talked as they walked.
"Of course." Guo Ying'er was excited when talking about the tiger cat, "My brother brought it back from the Xunlei Valley in Bianzhou Cultivation World. It is born with the power of controlling thunder."
Bianzhou Cultivation Realm, according to the Jiuzhou Continent Chronicles, is in the northeast of the mainland, separated from Kunxu Cultivation Realm by the insurmountable Qianren Mountains. If you can bring back a young tiger cat from here, it is probably at least the foundation-building realm.
In the world of cultivation, there are very few monks in the foundation-building realm. Even those who exist are quite famous, and I have never heard of any of them coming from Green Mountain.
Before Zhao Ning could say anything, the little tiger cat seemed to understand Guo Ying'er's showoff, wagging its tail, the thunder pattern between its eyebrows flashed, and with a crackling sound, a bolt of lightning came down.
Zhao Ning was stunned, and Guo Ying'er was also stiff. The little tiger cat's fur exploded with smoke, and the lightning bolt didn't even turn around, but hit the little tiger cat directly.
"Ahem..." Guo Ying'er covered up her embarrassment and quickly smoothed the explosion on the little tiger cat's body. After coaxing the little tiger cat, she said to Zhao Ning sheepishly, "It's just that the thunder control is not very accurate. "Obviously, the little guy wanted to show off his ability to control thunder to Zhao Ning. He originally wanted to chop the tree on the roadside, but ended up hitting his head. At this time, the little tiger cat stopped making troubles and nestled in the arms of its owner, covering its face.
Zhao Ning changed the topic very considerately, "I heard from the fairy that the fairy brother must be a powerful man, but I don't know where the sect is practicing in the fairy brother?"
Guo Ying'er has always been proud of her brother, and her tone of voice was full of admiration, "The four major sects, Qingxiao Sect. I plan to attend the Qingxiao Sect's Dharma Assembly this time."
Zhao Ning was a little surprised. Not only were they on the same journey, but they also had the same goal. "The creatures in Guanxian Yintang have pure spiritual essences. I think if they have excellent spiritual roots and qualifications, they will definitely be able to make all their wishes come true."
Guo Ying'er smiled even brighter.
Along the way to the gate of Guiyuan City, there were many cultivators coming from all directions. Before entering the city, they heard the roar of people in the city.
"Ah? You want to sign up for the Qingxiao Sect Ancient Trail quota!" Guo Ying'er kept talking all the way. The words "brother" and "Qingxiao Sect" were overlapped together, which seemed to open a valve for her to talk like a flood. Regarding her situation, Zhao Ning Almost everything was understood clearly, but it was Zhao Ning's situation. It wasn't until Guo Ying'er at the city gate that she knew that Zhao Ning also wanted to report to Qingxiao Sect, or the ancient way!
Afraid of alarming the surrounding monks, Guo Ying'er covered her mouth and moved closer to Zhao Ning, "It's hard to compete for the places in the ancient path that come first, and I also heard that many sects may not recruit ancient path monks now."
"Let's wait until the summoning order is activated and then take a look." Zhao Ning looked up at the word "Guiyuan" dancing on the tower. "Until that moment, no one knows the real situation."
The two of them were destined to be together, and they booked a place together in an inn near the central square of Guiyuan City. The rooms in all the inns were full these days, but fortunately, both Zhao Ning and Guo Ying'er needed spiritual stones, so they added some spiritual stones to settle down. Not only can you stay in a room with good conditions, but you can also have the best view of the central square.
As a few days passed, more and more monks gathered in the central square. The monks who came late simply meditated on the spot in the central square, waiting for the major sects to issue orders to recruit immortals. They even set up a gambling table next to the square to see where the people were. A sect was the first to come to Guiyuancheng to issue an order to recruit immortals.
That morning, Zhao Ning opened her eyes from practicing. The little tiger cat got into her room again and had fun running around on the furniture in the room. It pounced forward and pounced on the window, but the window happened to be open. Yan Shi, as soon as he was suspended in the air, all the hair on his body exploded, and he let out a miserable meow.
Fortunately, there was no more tragic landing sound, and the little tiger cat slowly floated back wrapped in the aura.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, I think I heard the scream of the little black tiger!" Guo Ying'er ran in nervously, saw the little tiger cat with fried fur in the aura ball, hugged it back angrily and laughed, and said to Zhao Ning , "This little guy came to you again. Zhao Ning, you must have some magical cat-attracting physique."
Zhao Ning smiled and didn't answer, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of light flying from the sky outside the window. It was the foundation-building monk.
Zhao Ning approached the window, and Guo Ying'er also noticed her movements. This sight was a surprise, "The first summoning order!"
The stream of light stopped over the central square, and a monk in blue robes appeared with a flying sword on his feet. As soon as this person appeared, all the cultivators in the central square stood up.
"It's the Frost Sect!"
"Oh, hate it, I'm pressing on the Yuhua Sect, my spirit stone!" Guo Ying'er muttered, and she pressed her elbow against Zhao Ning, "Are you going to press on it?"
"It was pressed, and it was hit." Zhao Ning nodded, and then said calmly under Guo Ying'er's gossipy eyes, "Because all my sects pressed a spiritual stone."
Guo Ying'er was stunned for a moment, laughed and cursed, "Zhao Ning, I thought you didn't know how to joke."
Zhao Ning responded with a smile, but the monk in the sky did not cast the summoning order for a long time, and even simply sat cross-legged on the long sword.
"What is this?" Guo Ying'er was a little confused. She looked at the sky and saw that it was already the end of the Chen hour. She murmured, "Are you looking for a good time?"
Just when the monks in the central square were as confused as she was, after a tea break, another stream of light flew from the sky. The stream of light stopped next to the previous foundation-building monk, and a female cultivator with a green gauze appeared. The two greeted each other. , the female cultivator also meditated on the flying sword together.
"Xuanfeng Sect!" It is also one of the twelve sects.
Seeing their postures, although the people below were anxious, they did not dare to make any noise. After all, the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm was overhead, and the Qi Training Realm was unable to resist at all.
After another half tea time, three streams of light appeared in the sky, and I was meditating at high altitude as before.
Guo Ying'er looked away, "I'm afraid all the major sects have agreed to jointly issue an order to recruit immortals. Zhao Ning, is there someone in your sect? How come you can win such an outrageous bet?"
Zhao Ning was helpless. She had an unexpected but reasonable feeling. She really didn't expect this to happen. It was a complete accident.
An hour later, the twelve sects and the three major sects all arrived. When they were greeting each other in the sky, Guo Ying'er stroked the cat's back and glanced at the gambling table not far away. The spiritual stones on the gambling table were piled up. He looked at the banker who was vomiting blood and said, "See, Zhao Ning, I think this expert needs to run away, so hurry up and get the spirit stone back."
Zhao Ning did not answer, and her eyes fell in the air. She saw a foundation-building monk wearing the uniform of an inner disciple of the Qingxiao Sect whom she had seen in the Bagua Soul Refining Array. His name seemed to be Luo Ce.
Most of the sect's foundation-building monks were led by Luo Ce, who took the lead and introduced them to the eager monks in the central square.
"The Immortal Recruitment Order is held once every ten years. This time, twelve sects and three major sects are being held at the same time. If you participate in one, you cannot participate in the other. Please choose carefully, monks."
As soon as this was said, the central square was filled with uproar, which abruptly reduced the chance of everyone present to enter the sect by half.
Many people were dissatisfied with this arrangement, but some people had already expected it. After all, it was unusual for fifteen sects to arrive at the same time.
Such rules did not affect Zhao Ning and Guo Ying'er. It was not until the noise in the central square calmed down that Luo Ce continued, "In this recruitment order, there are twenty people in each order. Those who have heavenly spiritual roots or who have been promoted before the age of thirty are Basic practitioners are not included in the quota, nor are ancient monks."
This arrangement was like before, and I was thinking about which sect to choose, the three major sects with ancient inheritance and rich resources, or the twelve sects with relatively low requirements and low competition.
Luo Ce signaled to the people in the sky, only to see fifteen people scattered in a circle, fifteen summoning orders shot into the air, and instantly fifteen beams of light of different colors entered the sky.
"The minimum requirements for the twelve sects are three spiritual roots, and the bone age for those who have not practiced cultivation should not exceed twenty years. The bone age for the early, middle and high stages of Qi refining increases by ten years in sequence."
"The minimum requirements of the three major sects are pseudo-double spiritual roots. At least the second line of spiritual roots is three times stronger than the remaining one line of spiritual roots. The bone age requirements are the same as those of the twelve sects."
"If you are interested in a sect, please enter the teleportation beam. This recruitment order will be open for seven days. Please don't waste the time."
When he spoke, Guo Ying'er was worried about Zhao Ning, "What should I do? It seems that we really don't want to recruit ancient monks anymore. Zhao Ning, then you..."
"Where are the ancient path monks! Our spiritual roots are not good. We don't care about three spiritual roots or pseudo-double spiritual roots. We just want to know how many ancient path quotas each sect has!" Someone finally shouted out in the central square, and there were many random voices. Respond.
The foundation-building monks in the sky looked at each other. The first Hanshuang Sect monk who arrived in Guiyuan City said, "The Hanshuang Sect does not recruit ancient ways!"
The second Xuanfengmen also stepped forward, "Xuanfengmen doesn't want to attack!"
Immediately afterwards, ten sects came forward, all saying the same two words, "No move!"
The central square was almost about to explode. It seemed that there was only one fuse left. After all, this was only the twelve sects. They had recruited few people in previous years. Everyone's eyes were bright on the three major sects.
The scalps of Fentian Clan and Luoxia Sect were numb, their eyes met, and they glanced at Luo Ce who was smiling and silent. They rolled their eyes and said two words, "No move!"
Zhao Ning's arms were so painful from being pinched by Guo Ying'er, "Qingxiao Sect is the only one left, could it be..."
"Why?!" The central square exploded, and people questioned one after another. Everyone knew for sure that these fifteen sects had just made up their minds not to recruit, and it didn't matter whether Qingxiao Sect said it or not.
"Don't you, the fifteen sects, look down on the ancient Taoism? The ancient Taoism has been formed since ancient times and has been passed down since ancient times. It is disrespectful to heaven and man to forcefully cut off the inheritance of the Taoism!"
"Yes! Why don't you want the ancient path? We casual cultivators are not afraid of the test of heart inquiry, but you don't give me any chance. You are trying to cut off the ancient path, which is an act against heaven!"
Seeing that the noise and curses were getting worse, Luo Ce stood up slowly, and met the white eyes of the two monks from Burning Heaven Clan and Luoxia Sect.
He said, "Qingxiao Sect has two places."
The sound in the central square suddenly stopped.
Luo Ce added, "I would also like to ask everyone who is interested to learn from the Blue Dome Light Pillar..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw half of the monks in the central square pushing and shoving their way into the Blue Dome Light Pillar Teleportation Formation.
