Ye Shu practiced for several days, but Yan Changlan did not come. He was a little confused, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to Baixiao Sect and his party.
When he got to the bottom of the mountain, he still asked people to go up the mountain to pass the news. Not long after, Yan Changlan came down in person.
Yan Changlan walked in a hurry.
He knew that Ye Shu took the initiative to come and was very happy at first, but then he worried about whether something happened to Ye Shu, so he hurriedly came down.
Ye Shu looked Yan Changlan up and down, and when he saw that he was fine, he was about to go back.
Yan Changlan was stunned: "Ah Zhuo?" Then he suddenly reacted and couldn't help but smile, "Originally, I was going to go to Ah Zhuo's place to take a medicinal bath yesterday, but Master asked me to practice in the sect because of something, so I Gone."
Ye Shu stopped and said, "What's the matter?"
Whenever Yan Changlan was cared for by Ye Shu, he was very happy and replied: "This is a competition held once every ten years by the sect."
Ye Shu thought for a moment and understood.
The Ye family, where he lived in his previous life, was determined to win in order to protect the younger generations of the clan. They also held clan competitions every few years, not only to allocate resources, but also to allow clan members to learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths.
This is the grand competition held once every ten years in the Baixiao Sect, so it seems that this is also the case.
Yan Changlan said: "Originally, it takes ten years for a new disciple to achieve some success after entering the school. Therefore, he will definitely not be able to participate in this first competition. However, the master said that I have reached the third level of Qi Refining, so naturally this competition will also be required." participated."
Ye Shu nodded: "Is the reward generous?"
Yan Changlan said: "There are several kinds of rewards to choose from, ranging from elixirs, magic weapons, heavenly materials and earthly treasures to exercises. If I win, what does Ah Zhuo want?"
Ye Shu said: "I don't think the skills can be passed on to others. The skills here are not very useful to you and me. But if you win, you don't have to choose the elixirs and magic weapons. There are useful things in the treasures of heaven, materials and earth. You can choose one." Pick, if there is nothing available, then pick another sword technique, which will corroborate with your wind and thunder sword technique, and it can also improve your strength."
Yan Changlan listened to Ye Shu's instructions and knew that they were good advice, so he seriously agreed: "Don't worry, A Zhuo, I understand."
Ye Shu was also quite relieved about him, so he didn't say much.
Yan Changlan added: "When the competition comes, as a direct disciple, I can invite people to join the sect to watch the competition. When the time comes, I would like to invite A-Zhuo to come and watch me compete. I don't know..."
Ye Shu thought for a while and agreed: "I just want to see how good you are when fighting with others."
The smile on Yan Changlan's face deepened: "I will not let A Zhuo down."
After it was settled, Ye Shu left.
There are still many things that need to be prepared for the Baixiao Sect Grand Competition. It will be ten days before the actual competition begins.
·
Ye Shu still transformed into "Shi Zhuo" and came to the gate of Baixiao Sect before the start of the competition.
Because the competition is coming soon, many guests from Baixiao Sect are here. Except for some invited people, they are people from other sects, big and small. In particular, the Shimen Sect and the Blood Knife Sect, which stand side by side with the Baixiao Sect, are even more powerful. They lead many outstanding disciples here and also show the strength of their sects.
Ye Shu stood aside and was not close to those people from big and small forces.
Yan Changlan had already prepared. Although he was in the spotlight today and could not come to pick him up in person, he had arranged for Xiao Ming, who was most valued by him, to wait early. Xiao Ming was also very familiar with Ye Shu's appearance. When he saw him arriving, he immediately walked out to meet him.
Xiao Ming cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist Shi is here? Xiao is here to invite Friend Shi to the mountain on the order of the senior brother."
Ye Shu nodded: "Let's go."
Xiao Ming didn't say much nonsense, and quietly entered Baixiao Sect with Ye Shu from the other side.
After walking for a while, Ye Shu followed Xiao Ming to a vast field.
There are high platforms on all sides here, and many large and small forces are arranged to take their seats according to their strength. The disciples of Baixiao Sect are concentrated in the east, and they are separated by differences such as the top of each mountain, whether they are disciples, and the level of disciples.
As a direct disciple of Xiao Yufeng, Yan Changlan can naturally choose the area of Xiao Yufeng to sit.
As the Foundation Establishment Master, Xiaoyu Peak Peak Master, like other peak masters, went to the first high platform and sat with the leader of Baixiao Sect and other upper-level people, not with their disciples.
Therefore, in fact, Yan Changlan is the person with the highest status in Xiaoyu Peak and can arrange all affairs.
Yan Changlan saw Ye Shu and stood up to greet him.
Ye Shu nodded and sat next to Yan Changlan.
Although several other direct disciples were called direct disciples, they knew that their status was far inferior to that of Yan Changlan, so although they were curious about it, they did not dare to ask more questions. Wang Min, Gong Jianzhang, Wei Yi and others knew that Yan Changlan was actually very generous, but since Yan Changlan didn't take the initiative to mention it, they couldn't ask more questions, so they had to quietly pull Xiao Ming aside and ask about him.
Xiao Ming was also worried that these fellow disciples might accidentally offend others, so he whispered: "This fellow Taoist Shi Zhuo is a close friend of the senior brother, and there is also a master weapon refiner behind him..." Speaking of "the weapon refiner" When he said three words, his voice was lowered to almost nothing. After receiving the stunned looks from his fellow disciples, he continued, "... Therefore, we must respect this person and do not displease the senior brother. "
Wang Min and others are not ungrateful people, so of course they agreed repeatedly.
Afterwards, they became more cautious when treating Ye Shu.
Seeing these disciples acting like this, Ye Shu said to Yan Changlan: "Xiao Ming under you is quite useful."
It is true that Xiao Ming's actions are not as good as those loyal subordinates carefully cultivated by the Ye family in his previous life, but it is also comforting to be able to do so just by relying on his own observation.
Yan Changlan nodded: "He does use it very well. You should pay more attention to it in the future."
Ye Shu agreed with what Yan Changlan said.
Nowadays, in their practice, they cannot do many trivial matters by themselves. It would be great to have someone who can do it. It is rare to see someone like Xiao Ming who can carry it clearly and use it easily.
Seeing this, Yan Changlan couldn't help but smile and said: "I thought that if I can come across something that Junior Brother Xiao can use during the training, I will leave it for him as a gift. If Ah Zhuo likes him, when will he have free time? , refine a few magic weapons for him and let him take them back to the Xiao family, and he will definitely be devoted to you, A-Zhuo."
Ye Shu said: "What's so difficult about this? If you don't practice for a long time, your hands will become raw. It's hard to get rid of the refined ones for a while, so giving him a few pieces doesn't mean anything."
Yan Changlan knew that this matter was easy for Ye Shu, so he suggested it. Now Ye Shu didn't even want to agree, his heart felt warm, and his eyes also felt warm.
Ye Shu had already put the matter aside and told him instead: "After the competition, you come to take a medicinal bath every few days. Don't forget it."
Yan Changlan smiled and said, "I will never forget it."
The two people spoke in a friendly manner, which made the fellow disciples who respected Yan Changlan more and more curious, especially Wei Yi, who almost scratched his head and scratched his head, feeling very itchy. However, no matter how anxious he was, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to hold it in. Fortunately, not long after, the competition officially started, which brought everyone's attention back.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the huge field below.
The first thing to start was the competition between the outer disciples.
Since the beginning, only this competition every ten years can allow the outer sect disciples with insufficient cultivation to enter the inner sect. It also allows them to see how big the gap between the outer sect and the inner sect is, and makes them have a deeper feeling in their hearts. How eager, wanting to try his best to squeeze in through the inner door.
Nowadays, the outer sect disciples compete not only to win the rewards after the competition, but also to perform their best and let their abilities fall in the eyes of the elders who they would never see in ordinary times, in order to win their favor.
Yan Changlan also knew something about the sect's grand competition. At this time, he explained to Ye Shu: "Outer disciples must have a level of Qi refining before they can participate in the competition. Those who have just introduced Qi into the body cannot participate. In Baixiao Sect, there must be Only those on the third level of Qi Refining and passing the test can enter the inner gate. Therefore, usually those who participate in the outer gate competition are mostly monks on the first and second levels of Qi Refining. However, there will also be monks on the third level of Qi Refining to show themselves through the competition. , in order to enter the inner door more smoothly."
While Ye Shu listened to Yan Changlan's explanation, he watched the two monks competing below who had jumped onto the field.
For Ye Shu, the competition between the outer disciples was really nothing to watch.
Between the first and second levels of Qi Refining, the spells practiced by these disciples are very simple. If they are like Yan Changlan, who are skilled in swords or other weapons, after they are used, unless their own attributes are as special as Yan Changlan, they will be different from those in the martial arts world. no big difference. Or they may use some talisman methods, and the movement and movements of you and me are not fast. Sometimes, even after two or three rounds, the battle is over - without him, the magic power is exhausted.
Ye Shu once led countless golden elixir Yuanying and even higher realm cultivation masters to perish together in a great battle. Such power was overwhelming and sealed the world, and now looking at such a simple battle...he naturally had no interest.
However, in order to increase Yan Changlan's knowledge, after Yan Changlan explained the rules of the competition to Ye Shu, Ye Shu explained to Yan Changlan some common techniques used by monks, which were much better than those used by the outer disciples who were fighting, but There may be some similarities in principle. Yan Changlan listened carefully and benefited a lot.
Except for Yan Changlan who listened carefully, Xiao Ming, who was closest to them, heard something unknowingly and couldn't help but feel horrified. Although he couldn't understand many of them, the ones he could understand often gave him enlightenment and pointed him to a higher level of spiritual practice! Such an opportunity was very rare. Although Xiao Ming felt more and more that Ye Shu was not simple, he still took the opportunity to listen carefully. Even if he didn't understand, he would write it down for later understanding.
Ye Shu also noticed Xiao Ming's movements and ignored them.
What he explains is all related to Yan Changlan. If Xiao Ming can get some insights from it, it is his blessing, and he will not begrudge this insight.
Yan Changlan also noticed that Xiao Ming was listening. He was a generous man and let him go.
Just like that, when the battle between all the outer disciples ended and the ten winners were finally selected, both Yan Changlan and Xiao Ming were still satisfied with what they heard and got a lot of benefits from it.
The top ten of these outer disciples were all monks at the third level of Qi Refining. The spells they cast were much stronger than those at the first and second levels of Qi Refining, but they were still nothing in Ye Shu's eyes. At this moment, the top three monks among them were spotted by some inner sect elders on the spot. As soon as they entered the inner sect, they would temporarily accept them as registered disciples. If they enter the country quickly in the future, they may be converted into personal disciples.
Even so, these three outer sect disciples can be regarded as reaching the sky in one step, and their futures are promising. The competition between the outer sect disciples has therefore attracted those outer sect disciples more and more.
Even the outer sect disciples could use this to get the eyes of the inner sect elders. When the inner sect disciples held a big competition, everyone's mood was different.
Yan Changlan said: "If an inner sect disciple stays at the fourth level of Qi Refining for fifty years and cannot enter, he will automatically become an outer sect elder. If he reaches the sixth level of qi refining, he will automatically become an inner sect elder. Therefore, the inner sect competition Among them, the monks who participate in the battle are mainly the third-level Qi Refining monks, and then there are the relatively new fourth-level Qi Refining monks. As for the disciples of the fifth-level Qi Refining... Although they can participate in the competition, generally speaking, even if they win, The final reward is of little use to them, so they tend not to bully the small."
Ye Shu seemed to understand something.
Yan Changlan said as expected: "Ah Zhuo, this is my first time participating in the competition, but I want to get a better ranking."
