Back at his residence, Yanxuan thought about some of the things Qian Chao said today. He didn't understand a lot, so he wanted to ask Tang Ping for clarification.
"A Ping, what did Qian Chao say today? I don't understand very well." Yanxuan asked Tang Ping after returning to his residence. It's no wonder that Yanxuan had always been a weakling living in a deep house. The girl, what little she knew about things in the Five Spirits Sect was told to her by Tang Ping. She had never heard of what Qian Chao and Tang Ping said today, so she finally couldn't hold back and asked questions after she returned. .
It happened that Tang Ping also wanted to talk to Yanxuan about this matter. After all, Yanxuan still had a place in Qian Chao's plan that didn't seem too reliable at the moment.
"Sister Yan, just ask, I just want to talk to you about this matter."
"Well, let's talk about the spiritual vein first. You can't find that spiritual vein, but you can find that Qian Chao. Is the spiritual vein really that important to that Qian Chao?" Yanxuan asked.
"Yes, it should be very important to him. Sister Yan, you also practiced at that spiritual vein today. How do you feel?"
"The harvest is not small. I feel that practicing in that spiritual vein will make much greater progress than practicing in other places."
"Yes, that's why, Sister Yan, your qualifications are very good, and mine are also pretty good. In fact, both of us should be able to become Qi Refining disciples and enter the inner sect of the sect regardless of whether we have the spiritual veins. But According to what that kid Qian said, his qualifications are acceptable, which is the worst kind. You can bring him here or not during the first selection. It all depends on the wishes of the person who presides over the first selection. , it is not easy for him to come here, and he wants to enter the inner gate to continue practicing. He suffers from his poor spiritual roots, so he has been painstakingly searching for spiritual veins in the past two months. Without this spiritual vein, it can be said that it is difficult for him to enter the inner gate. It’s even more difficult, almost hopeless. But now that he has this spiritual vein, it can be said that that boy has almost stepped into the inner door with one leg. So do you think this spiritual vein is important to that boy Qian?”
"Oh, that's it. If there is such a benefit, why would he also bring us with him? He has to have a plan, right?" Yanxuan thought for a while and said.
"Yes, that boy does have an agenda. He can be considered sincere to us by doing this. Well, Sister Yan, let me ask you first, what do you think of Qian Chao?" Tang Ping asked without answering. road.
"Looking at people? I haven't had any contact with outsiders at home, but I think this Qian Chao is very smart, almost like you."
"That's right, that kid is indeed very smart, not to mention he's about the same as me. I feel like I'm not as good as that kid in some areas. By the way, Sister Yan, do you know that kid can also fight?" Tang Ping suddenly thought of what she had done when she came. Yanxuan had not yet gotten into the car at that time, so he did not know about the fight between Qian Chao and Liang Bake.
"Fight? Him? He seems to be a weak man, but he can still fight with others?" Yanxuan didn't believe it.
"Ha! That's interesting. Let me tell you." With that, Tang Ping told Yan Xuan the ins and outs of the fight between Qian Chao and Liang Bake on the bronze carriage. After hearing this, Yanxuan was stunned. Thinking about the impression she had received from Qian Chao several times, he was very smart but still very polite and polite. It was really different from what Tang Ping described.
"I didn't expect," Yanxuan murmured, "that he could be so cruel!"
"You didn't expect that I was shocked at the time." Tang Ping said.
"I think this Qian Chao is a little scared of people, A Ping, do you think this Qian Chao... um... is reliable? Doesn't he have some plans for you?" Yanxuan said.
"What he plans to do, even without me, he can probably do it with his cleverness. Sister Yan, do you know why he came to me?"
Yanxuan shook his head.
"The fact that he found me has something to do with my family background, but it doesn't matter much. The main reason is probably that this guy thinks that I am more similar to him."
"Oh? What do you say?" Yanxuan asked curiously.
"Hmm... He and I are both a bit smart and wary of people, but we don't have any intention of harming others. In these aspects, he and I are somewhat similar."
Yanxuan nodded vaguely after hearing this.
Tang Ping continued: "If he really wants to take advantage of me, if he doesn't say anything else, he has been here for two months and he would already be running around me, but look at him. Not counting today, when have you ever seen him except when eating?" After saying this, Tang Ping was afraid that Yanxuan would think too much, so she said seriously, "Sister Yan, after saying this, don't think too much about it. I was the only child in the family since I was a child. Although there were many people serving in the family, I was also quite lonely. Later it was discovered that I had spiritual roots and I was brought back to the family, but I was not liked by the family. Children of the same age began to be You tried to bully me but you got bullied by me in the end. We fought and fought. It was quite lively, but there was no one to play with. It was quite lonely and boring. It was that money boy who inspired me to make friends. I really took advantage of you. As friends, it would be in vain if you think too much about us."
After hearing this, Yanxuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I won't be too worried."
"Well, that's good. Sister Yan, look, he not only told you and me about this spiritual vein, but also that Brother Lu. That Brother Lu seems to be a nice person, but he doesn't seem to have a very bright mind. I guess that money The boy didn't tell him in detail, but he took him to practice there. Brother Lu's origin is not a family of practitioners, he is just a commoner hunter family in the world. What do you think Brother Qian wants to do with Brother Lu? ?”
"This... I really don't understand." Yanxuan said.
"This involves some things after entering the inner sect. After we enter the inner sect, we are regarded as Qi refining disciples. This Qi refining stage is divided into nine levels. The first two levels are to lay the foundation. We must be honest in the master's sect. Just stay still. During this period, the spiritual stones and elixirs we use for practice are provided by the sect. Although they are not many, they are enough."
"When our cultivation reaches the third level of Qi Refining, the number of spiritual stones and elixirs provided by the sect will remain unchanged, but our cultivation needs will be more, so what the sect provides will not be enough. At this time, from In order to get more spiritual stones, Qi Refining disciples starting from the third level have to go to a place called Jingshiyuan within the sect to do the work. After the tasks they receive are completed, Jingshiyuan will adjust the difficulty of the tasks we have completed. We are given different rewards, which are usually just spiritual stones. Although they are not many, they are very important to Qi refining disciples."
"That Qian boy, there is an elder who was also a monk of our Wuling Sect, a Qi Refining monk, with average cultivation. The last time his elder went out to do errands for Jingshiyuan, he encountered danger on the way, and ended up with him. His companions abandoned him in order to protect themselves, and as a result, his elder was seriously injured, and the injury was still in the Dantian, which cut off his elder's way of continuing to practice, so that his elder became discouraged and left the sect to return to Qian. Home."
"What Qian Chao told me today is that he wants to find four people who know the inside and outside of Youming Valley to practice together. After entering the inner gate and reaching the third level of Qi Refining, everyone will still go to the Consul of Jingshiyuan to do it together. This will help The benefits are shared by everyone, and when there are difficulties, we all work together, and no one will make the same mistake as his elder."
"That's right," Yanxuan nodded, "but why do we need five people? Isn't it better to have more people to do things?"
"This is not very clear. I know that the sect's Jingshiyuan's tasks for Qi Refining disciples are simple and can be done by one person. The most difficult tasks are done by five people in groups. The more difficult tasks are not given to Qi Refining disciples. I did it, and let those monks with higher cultivation levels do it. I don’t know why the most difficult task must be limited to five people.”
"So that's the case."
"By the way, Sister Yan, since he invited both of us over and made it clear that he wanted to invite both of us to participate, what do you think?"
"Well, this is a really good idea. If you are with him, then so am I. It is better to be of one mind and one heart than to be separated. But... you and I plus Brother Lu and Qian Chao, there are only four of us?"
"Well, that boy Qian said he has someone chosen, but it still depends on whether he is willing or not. But with that boy's shrewdness, I guess it should be about the same."
"Oh? Who is it?" Yanxuan asked.
"It's a man named Li Jian. Do you know this person?"
"Li Jian? I don't remember such a person." Yanxuan said.
"That man is tall and big, about the same height as Brother Lu, but thinner than Brother Lu. He always seems to have a straight face. I didn't have much impression of this man at first, but he is a character who is not easy to mess with. When someone tried to bully him when he first got on the carriage, he immediately gave him a lesson. I don’t know why Qian Chao chose him. The boy just said that Li Jian was different from ordinary people. Look, but that boy Qian was watching. He is indeed better than me in terms of people, so he shouldn't be too far behind."
Yanxuan nodded after hearing this.
"Actually, I poured cold water on that money boy."
"Oh? Why? Is there anything wrong with what he thinks?"
"Sister Yan, what he thought was good, but he missed the most important point."
"What's the most important?" Yanxuan asked.
"His spiritual root," Tang Ping said, "according to what he said, his spiritual root can be said to be the worst in the spiritual world. Even if he finds the spiritual vein and can use it to enter the inner gate, His spiritual roots still wouldn't show any improvement. He thought that we, the third level of Qi Refining, were working together to earn spiritual stones for the Jingshi Institute, but our spiritual roots were poor and our cultivation speed would be slow. What if we, the third level of Qi Refining, were If he is still spinning around on the first and second levels of Qi Refining after reaching the level, then he can’t keep up with us. Or maybe we have already reached the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, and he has just refined the third level. At that time, we go to Jingshiyuan to get things done. He still won't take him. In short, as the initiator of this matter, if his cultivation speed is too slow, this matter will be a bit unreliable."
"That's true. Then... what did he say?" Yanxuan asked.
"He said that he has thought about this matter and can't think of any good solution at the moment. But he has found the spiritual veins. There will definitely be a way to solve this matter in the future and it won't be a hindrance."
"Then...A Ping, what do you think?"
"To be honest, Sister Yan, I hope this boy can find a way. Well, it should be about the same. Since I met this boy, he has always surprised people. I hope this matter will not be a problem for him. You know, Sister Yan , after he said this, I really hope that in the future practice, there will be a few people who know the basics and retreat together. I still have a lot of things I haven’t told you. It makes me feel bad when I think about it. It’s all between them adults. But I, a junior, have to bear the responsibility for all the dirty work. In the future, it will be good to have a few friends around to come up with ideas together."
Yanxuan nodded after hearing this, and didn't ask Tang Ping if there was anything else he didn't want to say. If he wanted to say something, Tang Ping would naturally say it, but she still said: "No matter what happens in the future, I will give you some respect later." The two of us must do the things the Council does together."
Tang Ping smiled and replied: "Of course."
