"There is no requirement for the number of people!" Guo Ying'er said in surprise, "Is the sect so generous this year?"
"It seems that there were only three or four places in previous years?" Zhao Ning said hesitantly, thinking about the news he had heard before.
"There are only three." A male outer sect disciple next to him, who was at the seventh level of Qi training, said smoothly, "One is a new disciple and two are outer sect disciples."
"So few?!" Yun Jinfan covered his mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, "But there are three to four thousand people in the outer gate!"
The male disciple shrugged, "Otherwise, the inner sect would not be so easy to enter. And if you pass the second round, you can directly enter the Nine Peaks inheritance and worship Jindan Master as your teacher, which is equivalent to rising above the Qingyun in one step. In previous years, there were Many senior brothers and sisters from the inner sect participated in the sect competition."
"Then they took up our quota." Yun Jinfan said unhappily. Suddenly he remembered something, glanced at Zhao Ning furtively, pursed his lips in embarrassment and bowed his head and stopped talking.
However, Zhao Ning didn't pay attention to her look. The male disciples also had eyes full of the writings on the stone tablets and just said to themselves, "That's not true. The nominal disciples of the inner sect will not participate in the first round and will directly enter the second round. The one who comes out on top in the second round will get the opportunity to inherit and become a disciple, and it will not occupy the quota for outer disciples and new disciples."
"It means that only one nominal disciple of the inner sect can be selected." Guo Ying'er suddenly understood. She tugged on Zhao Ning's sleeves and said, "There is a chance."
When the male disciple heard Guo Ying'er's words, he turned to look at Zhao Ning strangely. But Zhao Ning was wearing an ordinary bamboo green gradually dyed gauze skirt and did not have an identity token. However, there are only inner disciples in Qingxiao Sect who can not wear disciples. He was stunned and quickly saluted Zhao Ning, "Sister, I'm sorry."
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Thanks for clarifying. I don't know how to call it?"
"The Fourteenth Peak of the Outer Sect, Huo Hui."
"Junior Brother Huo, he seems to be very familiar with this little Bi."
Huo Hui sighed and said, "It has been twenty-one years since I joined the sect. This is my second experience."
Immortal cultivators have no time to practice. Twenty-one years is like a snap of the fingers, nourishing the inner organs of the body with spiritual energy. Even though the spiritual stage has not yet been built and the transformation has not been completely transformed, the appearance remains in the youth. Only after half a century, the body gradually Appearing old.
"Twenty-one years is nothing. I have already lived forty-one years. I have experienced it three times. I only care about this present moment." Another disciple also interjected. He looked middle-aged and his cultivation level was higher than Huo Hui's. , he raised his hand towards Zhao Ninggong, "I'm new to you, the young senior sister. I haven't seen any of the senior sisters who were named in previous years. Could it be that she just joined this year?"
Zhao Ning only nodded without further explanation.
The middle-aged disciple did not hesitate to ask more questions, so he rushed ahead of Huo Hui and introduced, "Senior Sister, the number of places in the inner sect of the sect has always been small. I am afraid that the rules today are not being relaxed, but rather because I am afraid that no one will meet the conditions."
Guo Ying'er and Yun Jinfan looked at each other, and Yun Jinfan said quickly, "It's just a map of a secret realm, what's so difficult about it?"
The middle-aged disciple added, "It's because this secret realm is not another secret realm of cultivation, but a newly discovered secret realm."
Zhao Ning was slightly startled, "Could it be the place where the entrance to the secret realm collapsed during the time when the summoning order came out."
"Exactly." Huo Hui answered, "This new secret realm is the Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Caves. Because of the thousands of roads and caves in the secret realm, it is like a maze."
"But after I heard that the new secret realm has been stabilized, it has been hung in the General Affairs Hall as a small secret realm for experience."
"That was a few months ago. Several batches of fellow sects entered, but none of them could fully understand the secret realm. So the entrance to the secret realm was closed a month ago. At that time, some people speculated that it was for a sect competition. Now, it is true. "
Yun Jinfan frowned, "It's so annoying to let these first batches of people get the upper hand."
The middle-aged disciple smiled and said nothing.
The meaning of this smile made Yun Jinfan very uncomfortable. Guo Ying'er defended her and stared at the two of them, "Brother, why don't you explain more clearly."
"Junior sister Guo." Zhao Ning held her back, "There's still the first round."
"Exactly." Huo Hui replied, "In the first round, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of outer disciples who signed up. There is no hierarchy under Qi training. It is extremely difficult to join fifteen people competing on the same stage. If If we can advance, this little advantage won’t make much of a difference.”
Guo Ying'er grasped the key point and said in surprise, "If I were less lucky and drew a senior brother and sister who have perfected their Qi training, wouldn't I just step down?"
The middle-aged disciple said in a long voice, "Fate - Luck -"
"This is not fair. This is simply a competition between the brothers and sisters who have perfected their Qi. We have no chance of winning!" Yun Jinfan complained.
Huo Hui said, "You two junior sisters, don't worry. You are new disciples. There were five places left for you in the first round. If you choose five out of twenty, your chances are far greater than mine. You can seize it."
"Is this a novice benefit?" Yun Jinfan murmured.
Huo Hui was confused, but he also deduce some meaning and praised with a smile, "What junior sister said is so insightful."
Guo Ying'er raised her eyes and saw many senior brothers and sisters with advanced cultivation walking towards the General Affairs Hall. "It's over, it's all over. They all seem to be at the top level of Qi training. How can this compare?" She approached Yun Jinfan and tried to seek advice. Consensus, "Jinfan, why don't we practice for ten years, or wait until we are promoted to foundation building and directly enter the inner sect? There are so many senior brothers and sisters, I'm a little timid."
Yun Jinfan also stared at the door of the palace, hesitant.
Zhao Ning pondered, "I'm afraid it's not that easy to be promoted to Foundation Establishment. You can see the rewards written down later."
The last row of small characters on the stele reads, "If you pass the first round, you will be rewarded with three foundation-building elixirs, one heart-protecting fruit, and two spiritual weapons and robes. If you pass the second round, enter the inner gate and enter the Nine Peaks inheritance. Choose a real person as your teacher.”
The Foundation Establishment Pill increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment. Taking three pills at a time is the physical limit, which can increase the chance by about 30%. The Heart-Bearing Fruit can protect the mind and prevent the inner demons from suddenly arising when a breakthrough is made, which will lead to failure to build the foundation and destroy the foundation instead. Not to mention the secondary spiritual weapons and robes, they are all treasures during the Qi refining period.
Using the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Heart-Safe Fruit as rewards in the first round is probably another opportunity for the outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect.
"Building the foundation." The middle-aged disciple sighed, "If you can build the foundation by yourself without relying on elixirs, what a talent it must be. Only those who are proud of heaven can have the opportunity to try it. Take the foundation-building elixir. , a contribution of 10,000 points is exchanged, and ordinary tasks only cost dozens or hundreds of points, and it takes years and months to save up enough. Why not fight... Hey, where are you going, junior sister?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yun Jinfan running towards the General Affairs Hall.
Guo Ying'er was surprised and surprised, "Jin Fan is so straightforward. I have never seen her so active in practice."
At this time, many people also went to the General Affairs Hall. Huo Hui and the middle-aged disciple bowed their hands to Zhao Ningwei, "Sister, we also went to the hall to sign up."
Zhao Ning nodded and saw several people walking away. Guo Ying'er was still beside her and asked her, "Have you not decided whether to sign up yet?"
Guo Ying'er was confused, "Actually, I have the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Zhao Ning was speechless, "..." I almost forgot that Guo Congheng was a prominent figure in the inner sect.
"It's also good to discuss with others." Zhao Ning still suggested that she go.
Guo Yinger thought for a long time until Yun Jinfan came out of the General Affairs Hall.
She pulled Yun Jinfan and said, "Jinfan, why are you so impatient? Are you doing it for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Yun Jinfan muttered, "No. I can't help it. I'm actually too lazy to move. I just... I want to take first place." Looking at her expression and words, Zhao Ning guessed that the mysterious person accompanying her was giving her some advice.
When it comes to spiritual practice, Yun Jinfan's attitude is much lazier than Guo Ying'er's. Is he so eager to enter the inner sect and become a disciple? But with that mysterious person here, the Qingxiao Sect’s inherited techniques shouldn’t be able to catch their eyes, right?
Perhaps the people around him were shocked by this confidence in "taking first place", and they all looked this way.
Yun Jinfan immediately ducked into the underground hole and pulled Guo Ying'er to run into the hall. Even though Guo Ying'er said, "There are seven or eight advanced Qi practitioners among the new disciples. I'm afraid it will be a waste of practice time to participate." Yun Jinfan Jiao Shouting, "Just treat it as accompanying me!"
Zhao Ning followed him into the General Affairs Hall and wrote down his name on the sect's small list. This book was only used by the inner sect. There were three people on it. Zhao Ning didn't recognize them. He only saw one of them with Yunxiaofeng San in front of his name. Character.
"Yunxiao Peak." Zhao Ning whispered.
What I was thinking about was that I didn't know how Senior Qin was getting promoted.
Chapter 099
The second highest peak of Yunxiao Peak.
Zhao Ning looked up at the foot of the mountain. This mountain peak is particularly steep, with jagged rocks, steep cliffs, and dense broad-leaved forests covering a small amount of land. A narrow plank road winds up from the bottom of the cliff and disappears into the clouds. Don't know the end.
The mountains are pristine and silent, with no ordinary insects or birds chirping.
I think Qin Keyuan is still in retreat.
"Who are you?" Suddenly a childish voice came.
But he saw two small heads sticking out from behind a crooked stone tablet, which were two demon spirits.
The two demon spirits are growing better than Chi Xiaofeng, and they already look like two or three-year-old human children. The only difference from human children is that there are elixirs growing on their bare heads. One is a ginseng flower and the other is a Ganoderma lucidum grass.
Xiao Lingzhi also shouted in a mocking tone, "This is the first mountain of Uncle Master, no trespassing allowed!"
Zhao Ning knelt down and smiled, "Are you guarding the mountain for Uncle Qin?" He turned over his hands and took out two Qi Gathering Pills, indicating to give them to them.
The eyes of the two little demon spirits were widened, and they swallowed hard. Unable to resist the temptation, they pushed over each other, grabbed the Qi Gathering Pill and stuffed it into their mouths. After swallowing it wholeheartedly, they said vaguely, "The spiritual energy of the mountain." Rich, the leader allows us to practice here, and we must also do things for the leader."
"That's right." Little Ganoderma nodded her little head.
"Even if Sister Fairy is good-looking and gives us delicious Qi Gathering Pills, we can't just let you in." Ginseng Ginseng raised her chin like a grown-up.
"That's right." Xiao Lingzhi agreed.
Zhao Ning stretched out her hand and patted their heads, "Of course I won't disturb Uncle Qin."
His eyes fell on the crooked stone tablet. It had no words and was covered with moss and vines. When he noticed the gaze, two little demon spirits jumped behind the stone tablet and put their backs against the back of the stone tablet to straighten it. .
Xiao Lingzhi stuck out her tongue, "We were not the ones who knocked it down."
Little Ginseng pouted, "We are good demon spirits, and Oxfam is very helpful."
"I think you just feel guilty after eating too much." Suddenly a voice came from behind, with a lazy and joking tone.
Zhao Ning stood up and bowed his hands in salute, "Uncle Ji, long time no see."
The person coming was none other than Ji Xiu.
As soon as the two little demon spirits saw Ji Xiu, they jumped three feet high and burrowed into the grass, chirping, "Let's go, let's go, we're eating monsters!"
Ji Xiu only threatened them and did not actually pursue them. He allowed the two little demon spirits to run very fast, but the words in the little demon spirits' mouths were somewhat embarrassing. He touched his nose and explained, "I don't want to eat them. They are the demon spirits of the main peak. The elders of the main peak often come in and out, scaring them to run around. There are also many elders in other peaks who are true heirs, but senior brother is the one who is deserted and often sneaks in to steal the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Senior brother never cares."
He looked at Zhao Ning, "Why is little fairy Zhao Ning here?"
Even though Zhao Ning entered the inner gate, Ji Xiu still liked to call Zhao Ning like this. Zhao Ning said calmly, "Uncle Master has been in seclusion for several months and there is no news, so Zhao Ning wanted to come and have a look."
"Nothing." Ji Xiu shook his fan, "It's only been a few months. The deeper the cultivation path, the longer the retreat. Months, years, or even decades are normal. Senior brother's attack on the golden elixir this time, if It's not a good thing to leave the seclusion without any sound or vision."
"Let's go. Little Fairy Zhao Ning, I'm going to Chixiao Peak, can we go there together?"
Zhao Ning nodded, walked beside him and asked, "How long will Master Qin be in retreat this time?"
"It can be as short as one or two years, or as long as three to five years. It all depends on how difficult it is for senior brother to form the elixir." Ji Xiu put his hands behind his back and tapped his back with a folding fan, "But senior brother... it's difficult."
He turned sideways and looked at Zhao Ning strangely, "I remember you guys were having a competition recently, you ask..."
He spoke in a long tone, swayed around Zhao Ning and appeared on the other side, "Do you want to take your senior brother as your disciple?"
Zhao Ning rarely showed a hint of shame when his thoughts were exposed, but he pretended to be calm, "Uncle Qin, a man of extraordinary talent, punishes evil and promotes good, a proud man of heaven, if he can become his master, Zhao Ning will be happy. "
Unexpectedly, Ji Xiu burst out laughing. Zhao's concentration collapsed, but his mind was clear and he just asked, "What is Uncle Ji laughing at?"
Ji Xiu realized something and stopped laughing quickly, "Little fairy is not laughing at you, but your description, punishing evil and promoting good, aside, this 'unparalleled talent', 'the proud son of the emperor' is nothing to do with my senior brother Qin." It doesn’t matter. Do you know what skills my senior brother practices?"
Zhao Ning hesitated, "I once heard my uncle mention the true solution of Yu Yu Tianhe."
"Good fellow, it's true that senior brother took care of me, and I know it." Ji Xiu mumbled twice, coughed slightly to cover it up, and then continued, "Then have you heard the true interpretation of Yu Yu Tianhe in the Zongmen Kung Fu Hall?"
Zhao Ning shook his head. When he first heard the name, he decided that it was strange. The first practice of a sect was neither the nine inherited skills nor the well-known supreme method of the soul.
"Because this is not a skill at all."
But he didn't expect Ji Xiu's words to be like thunder on the ground, how could he practice if he didn't have the skills.
"This is a notebook of the practice. The practice itself is called Yu Yutianhe Hunyuan Lingzhuan. The notebook states that it is a great law of ancient gods and humans. The prerequisites for practice are not the five elements, nor the talent, nor the physical constitution. It can even be heard in court. Tao Xi becomes a saint."
