"It's done, Dad, Mom hasn't come back from Aunt Ying's place yet."
Sun Furong said.
Sun Sen nodded and said, "I'm going to treat Junior Brother Shen to dinner today. You go and bring out the dinner! Let's eat it in Peach Grove!"
He walked towards the peach forest, and Shen Long quickly followed.
There is a blue stone table and several blue stone benches placed in the peach forest, with a set of red sandalwood tea sets placed on them. There are many green peaches hanging on the peach trees, which are not yet ripe.
Disciples born at home all live with their parents. If there are two monks, the Yuling Sect will provide a residence. The conditions of the residence depend on the disciple's cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the better the conditions of the residence.
Sun Sen sat down, asked Shen Long to sit down, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shen Long.
"Junior Brother Shen, I have nothing to entertain you. It's just a simple meal. Please don't dislike it."
Sun Sen said.
"Senior Brother Sun, you're welcome. You can treat me to dinner. I'm happy before it's too late!"
Shen Long said sincerely.
"The competition will be held in a few days. Junior Brother Shen should be able to participate!"
Sun Sen took a sip of spiritual tea and said casually.
Shen Long nodded and said, "Well, does Junior Sister Sun also want to participate?"
Disciples under the age of sixty can participate in the competition, and Sun Sen is already over sixty.
"Rong'er's cultivation level is too low and there is no way to get into the top fifty. There is no need to participate."
Sun Sen said.
Sun Furong is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the chance of getting into the top fifty is too low. If she participates in the competition now, she will only expose her strength and spiritual beasts and insects prematurely. It is better to participate in the next competition and be more confident then. .
The competition has not yet been held, but the powerful Qi Refining monks have already attracted attention. If they know what spiritual beasts and insects their competitors are raising, they can take precautions in advance and make it easier to deal with them.
Some Qi refining monks don't want to expose their strength too early, and focus on cultivating quietly, and then get a good ranking in the small competition.
"Senior Brother Sun, I heard from Junior Brother Qian that you have participated in many small competitions and once ranked among the top twenty. Can you give me some advice? This is my first time participating in a small competition and I have no experience."
Shen Long said politely.
"The competition will be hosted by Master Liu or Master Xu. They will compete in pairs. The winner will advance to the next round, and the loser will be eliminated. The disciples who advance to the last round will go to the Thousand Demons Tower. They will be ranked according to the number of levels and time they have cleared. It is fair and just. "
Sun Sen said slowly that in the first two small competitions, the disciples who were able to advance to the top fifty had at least the eighth level of Qi Refining and a late first-order spiritual beast. A few disciples had high-grade magic weapons.
"What's the strength of the 50th place finisher in the first two competitions?"
Shen Long asked.
"I thought you would ask about the strength of the first placer."
Sun Sen smiled slightly.
"I can't even get into the top fifty, so there's no point asking for the first place. My advantage is the five first-level Dzogchen spells. It's difficult to get into the top thirty, let alone the first place."
Shen Long is self-aware, and having disciples at home has a natural advantage. After they detect their spiritual roots, their parents will choose their natal spiritual beasts for them. They just need to practice with peace of mind, and their parents will provide resources for cultivating immortals.
Some family disciples inherit a late-stage first-order spirit beast and spirit insect when they are born. Spirit beasts, spirit insects and spirit birds can be inherited. Some monks will pass the spirit beasts and spirit insects to their descendants before they are incarnated. In addition, In addition, some monks know that they cannot advance to a higher realm, so they will pass on their spiritual beasts and insects to their descendants or disciples.
As a result, the number of family-born disciples is generally higher than that of new disciples.
Shen Long inquired with Qian Dafu. In the first two competitions, the top 20 had late-stage first-order spiritual beasts, and a few disciples also had high-grade magic weapons.
In order to ensure relative fairness and safety, Xiao Bi is not allowed to use second-level talismans and talismans, and there is no need to use them to break into the Thousand Demons Tower. Otherwise, ordinary disciples will have no way to get ahead.
"The fifty contestants in the first two competitions all have reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and all have mid-first-order spirit beasts. Three years have passed, and their spirit beasts may have advanced to the late first-order. The competition is not easy, but Some disciples looked down upon the little things Xiao Bi rewarded.
Go out to perform tasks, earn good deeds, and prepare to exchange for foundation-building pills. "
Sun Sen took out a blue jade slip, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "Junior Brother Shen, this is the list of disciples who won the rankings in the previous two competitions, including their cultivation base, used magic weapons, spiritual insects and beasts , all the techniques you have mastered are introduced, you should use them.”
Shen Long was a little surprised. This information was valuable and had a certain reference value for him. Sun Sen took the initiative to give it to him, which made him a little confused.
He didn't have any friendship with Sun Sen. It was really strange that Sun Sen took the initiative to show his kindness.
Sun Sen saw the confusion in Shen Long's heart and explained: "I heard that you have practiced the five first-level spells to perfection, and I would like to ask you to give Ronger some advice."
He has been observing the new disciples, and he is more optimistic about Shen Long. Shen Long has practiced five first-level spells in the compound before he was thirty years old. He practices hard and studies seriously. The most important thing is that Shen Long is a San Cultivate your background.
This information is of certain value to Shen Long, but it is of no use to Gu Tianhong, Tang Yuting and other disciples from immortal cultivating families. Their relatives can help collect it.
Sun Sen also gave a copy to Qin Bao, Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang. It was a kind of show of goodwill and a good relationship. Whether the other party would appreciate it or not was another matter.
At this time, Sun Furong came over with food and placed it on the stone table.
Two dishes and one soup, steamed eel, tofu mixed with spring onions and egg drop soup, as well as a bowl of rice, the aroma is fragrant.
"I have heard about Senior Brother Shen's deeds a long time ago. There are many senior brothers and sisters who are no match for Senior Brother Shen. I would like to ask Senior Brother Shen for some advice."
Sun Furong said politely.
"Junior Sister Sun is so complimentary. It's not about giving advice. Let's communicate with each other!"
Shen Long said modestly.
"Let's talk while eating! The vegetables won't taste good when they are cold. We grow the spiritual vegetables ourselves and raise the fish ourselves."
Sun Sen said enthusiastically.
Sun Furong served rice, and the three of them chatted while eating.
Sun Furong has currently practiced two first-level spells to perfection, namely the entanglement technique and the earth wall technique. She has been practicing the fireball technique recently and humbly asked Shen Long for advice.
Shen Long patiently gave instructions. He could see that Sun Furong didn't really need his guidance. She only needed more practice to perfect the fireball technique.
If you think about it, you will know that if Sun Sen can teach new disciples, his basic knowledge must be very solid, but if it is not possible, there are predecessors' experiences in practicing various spells in the Sutra Pavilion, and there are disciples in Yanwu Peak who can exchange their cultivation experiences.
After dinner and chatting over a cup of tea, Shen Long said goodbye and left.
"Rong'er, do you know why dad asked Junior Brother Shen to give you some advice?"
Sun Sen asked.
"My daughter understands that dad wants me to make good friends with Senior Brother Shen. There is no harm in having more friends."
Sun Furong said.
Sun Sen nodded happily and said, "As long as you understand, Junior Brother Gu and Junior Sister Tang, these new disciples from the Immortal Cultivation Family, do not need our help and do not look down upon us. When you advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining, me and Your mother will apply to be transferred to the branch of our sect to work and accumulate good deeds. You can stay in the main altar and practice hard. I hope you can advance to the foundation building stage.".z.
Only when you are in charge of a household do you appreciate the value of firewood and rice, and only when you raise children do you realize the kindness of your parents.
The Yuling Sect has many branches, such as the Spiritual Mine, the Spiritual Medicine Garden, the Spiritual Beast Garden, etc., which need disciples to help them. In order to reduce the pressure on their descendants, many disciples who are born in the family usually transfer to the branches or shops opened by the Yuling Sect. Do things, you will get more good deeds, and you will help future generations redeem the foundation-building pills.
Sun Sen only has one daughter, Sun Furong, so the pressure is less. Lin Cheng has four sons, so the pressure is particularly high.
"My daughter will work hard. Having said that, with Senior Brother Shen's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to advance into the top fifty. Many senior brothers and sisters from the ninth level of Qi Refining have been sent out to work, so I don't know where he can rank."
Sun Furong analyzed.
Sun Sen nodded and said, "I think so too. You have to work hard too. Okay, you can go practice! I'll clean up the dishes."
After returning to his residence, Shen Long walked into the basement, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took out the jade slip given by Sun Sen, and placed it between his eyebrows.
Pass
After a while, Shen Long took off the jade slip with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Xiaobi's top fifty at least have a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining. It does not mean that the higher the cultivation level, the higher the ranking. If the spirit beast is strong, it can still get a good ranking.
Shen Long put away the jade slips and started practicing his skills.
The night passed quickly. Early the next morning, before it was dark, Shen Long went out and walked towards the mountain.
Before he had gone far, Ye Yuqing's voice came from behind: "Junior Brother Shen, good morning!"
Shen Long stopped, turned his head and looked behind him, and saw Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang walking towards him.
"Morning! Senior Sister Ye, Uncle Xu is preaching at Lundao Peak today. I plan to go over and listen. Do you want to go over and listen?"
Shen Long said.
"Junior Brother Qian has already told us that we will go there after breakfast."
Ye Yutang said.
They arrived at Lingshan Pavilion, where only a few disciples were dining.
They had breakfast and left Lingshan Pavilion.
Ye Yutang released Li Huo Falcon and walked onto Li Huo Falcon's back, followed closely by Ye Yuqing and Shen Long.
"Walk!"
Ye Yutang's right hand gently patted Li Huo Falcon's back, and Li Huo Falcon flapped its wings lightly, blowing a gust of hot wind and flying high into the sky.
Along the way, they met many Qi-refining monks, most of whom drove spiritual birds to travel.
Shen Long saw Gu Tianhong, who was standing on the back of a golden-winged thunder lion.
Less than half an hour later, they appeared above a 10,000-foot-tall emerald mountain. At the top of the mountain was a vast bluestone square.
In the center of the Bluestone Square, there is a circular high platform more than ten feet in size. Surrounding the high platform are thousands of Yuling Sect disciples, most of whom are Qi Refining monks, and a dozen Foundation-building monks. A large number of Yuling Sect disciples came from all over the place. Come.
Xu Feng is a well-known insect fanatic in the Yuling Sect. Many Yuling Sect disciples encounter difficulties in cultivating spirit insects. When Xu Feng lectures, they hope to answer their confusion.
Shen Long was a little surprised that so many people came. He underestimated Xu Feng's influence.
The Li Huo Falcon landed on the Qingshi Square, Shen Long and the others walked down, and Ye Yutang put away the Li Huo Falcon.
"Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Shen, I'm here!"
A familiar male voice sounded.
Shen Long looked along the source of the sound and saw Qian Dafu.
Shen Long walked over quickly, took out a blue futon, placed it on the ground, and sat on the futon.
"Junior Brother Qian, you came so early!"
Shen Long said in surprise.
"It's rare to see Master Xu giving a lecture, so naturally I have to come a little earlier. Junior Sister Ning came earlier than me."
Qian Dafu pointed in a certain direction and said.
Shen Long looked in the direction pointed by Qian Dafu and saw Ning Qianqian.
Gu Tianhong was talking to Ning Qianqian. The distance was a bit far, and with the chatter of other monks, Shen Long couldn't hear the content of Gu Tianhong and Ning Qianqian's chat.
As far as he knew, Gu Tianhong launched a crazy pursuit of Ning Qianqian.
Ning Qianqian didn't pay much attention to Gu Tianhong. Gu Tianhong often ran into Ning Qianqian. In order to have a common topic, he even bought a gold-winged thunder lion, which stuck to Ning Qianqian like dog skin plaster. Ning Qianqian has always been lukewarm.
"Junior Brother Gu is quite infatuated!"
A rough male voice sounded.
Shen Long turned around and saw Qin Bao.
"Senior Brother Qin, long time no see."
Shen Long said hello.
Qin Bao nodded and said, "Junior Brother Shen, you should be able to participate in the competition! I hope you can get into the top fifty!"
"Thank you for your good wishes from Senior Brother Qin."
Shen Long smiled slightly.
Shen Long and Qin Bao started chatting. It was more than two years since he started. He had little contact with Gu Tianhong, Tang Yuting and other disciples who came from a cultivating family. He had not spoken more than ten sentences in total. He chatted more with Qin Bao, and everyone was familiar with it. He is a casual cultivator and has a greater sense of identity.
After a cup of tea, someone shouted: "Uncle Xu is here."
All the monks stopped talking and looked left and right, looking for Xu Feng.
A golden light appeared in the distant sky, and a flash stopped above Lundao Peak. The light disappeared, and a golden centipede more than ten feet long appeared, with four pairs of thin silver wings on its back, and a row of sickle-like golden centipedes under its abdomen. The claws and antennae are extremely long, and a pair of sharp mouthparts are exposed. The golden centipede has some flame-like lines on its body surface, which are completely natural.
"Second-order eight-winged thunder fire centipede!"
Qian Dafu recognized this strange insect and his face was full of envy. The eight-winged thunder and fire centipede ranked 735th on the list of strange insects in the world and was proficient in both thunder and fire spells.
A dignified-looking man in a yellow shirt sat on the head of the eight-winged thunder-fire centipede. The man in the yellow shirt had more than a dozen spirit beast bags tied around his waist.
The eight-winged thunder fire centipede flew down on the circular high platform, and the man in yellow shirt walked down.
Shen Long and other qi refining disciples stood up one after another, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Greetings to Master Xu."
Xu Feng nodded and patted the golden spirit beast bag on his waist with his right hand. A sound cicada flew out from it and landed in front of him. It was a second-level sound cicada.
Shen Long had often heard Xu Feng mentioned by his classmates. Eighteen generations of Xu Feng's ancestors were disciples of the Yuling Sect and had produced many foundation-building monks. He was a single descendant of the third generation. His grandfather, grandmother, and mother were all foundation-building monks, and they are all still alive.
In terms of net worth alone, Ning Qianqian is far inferior to Xu Feng.
Under the influence of his elders, Xu Feng has shown a keen interest in spiritual insects since he was a child. He inherited many spiritual insects from his grandparents and parents. He has more than ten kinds of second-order spiritual insects in his hands.
Unlike most of the Yuling Sect disciples, Xu Feng chose a spiritual insect as his natal spiritual insect.
