"Is this serious?"
"My disciple sent someone to check. It is indeed among the top twenty. It cannot be wrong."
Zhao Chun, a disciple in the middle stage of Qi training in the inner sect, has climbed to the sect's dangerous place and ranked 19th. This kind of situation has not happened in the Lingzhen sect for more than a hundred years. As a result, the news spread very quickly. In one day, it was known to the whole sect and reached Du Fan's ears. He did not dare to be careless. After investigating and confirming it, he immediately informed Li Shu.
"I actually missed it. Is it a relic?" Because of his mysterious spiritual roots, Li Shu really didn't care much about Zhao Chun, his disciple. She is not the only one. There are many disciples under her, and it is impossible to give them advice one by one. They all wait for them to achieve foundation building before they get some favor and receive them to teach.
Although there are not many disciples in the sect who have reached the top of the list, there are always a few, but they all rank in the eighth or ninth place, which is not very impressive. Zhao Chun scored nineteen in one fell swoop, and even Li Shu was quite surprised.
Du Fanzhi asked in a low voice: "Do you need a disciple to contact you?"
"This matter is not urgent." Li Shu waved his hand and replied: "It won't be too late to make contact again when the competition is held. After all, he is my sect. Since he has some skills, he may be able to provide some help."
"You only need to handle the conference affairs well, and don't worry about the rest. When Zi Xun breaks through the Ning Yuan, the situation is complete." The eldest disciple Huo Zi Xun has already reached the peak of the late foundation building stage. This time he retreats to do the right thing. After being promoted to Ning Yuan, once the master and apprentice are in the Ning Yuan stage, they will be the absolute leader in the Ling Zhen Sect. However, he was very regretful that he did not win the Purple Rose Branch. He only knew that Chi Song died, and he did not know who took the treasure away.
Du Fanzhi understood the importance and replied in a low voice. He also reported some inner sect chores before bidding farewell to his teacher and leaving the hall.
As soon as I left the palace, I met a woman with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and no makeup on. Du Fanzhi said hurriedly: "Senior sister is here."
This woman is Li Shu's second disciple, Liu Xuan, who is also a monk in the late stage of foundation building, second only to Huo Zixun in his sect. He was away from home all year round and rarely returned to the sect. He rarely intervened in power struggles and was devoted to the Tao. That's why Du Fanzhi fell into Li Shu's eyes.
"Yes." She nodded slightly and said warmly: "This time I return to the sect, I am here to pay my respects to the master."
"As it should be, then Junior Brother, I will leave without disturbing you." Du Fanzhi resigned as he was told. Before he could move away, he heard Liu Xuan ask: "Recently, the sect has a saying that there is a person in the inner sect. Disciple, have you ever heard of me breaking into the top twenty schools in Sansan Stone Forest?"
Du Fanzhi didn't know why she became interested in this matter, so he replied: "Sister, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but this disciple is also a disciple of Master, and is in his 19th year."
"We are actually from the same sect." Liu Xuan's eyes widened slightly, with a smile on her face, "In that case, we should look for a chance to meet him."
"That's easy. Junior brother will set up a competition in the Yuangu Dojo to determine the twenty people who will go to the Hundred Sects Meeting. Nineteen junior sisters will also come. Then just invite senior sisters to come in person." In words, he said The invitation was given to Liu Xuan, who indeed had an extraordinary position among the inner sect disciples. With his ability to dominate the formation, he could be considered to have gained some respect for the conference.
This matter may have been caused by Zhao Shun, but she herself did not know it.
After breaking into the realm of sword light, she returned to her residence and closed the door. She only knew that the outside world was talking about her, but she didn't know that she had become a semi-popular figure, and many disciples in the inner sect also looked at her with suspicion. See.
In addition, after getting on the list, he also received five hundred stones from the sect. Although it was not much, it could still fill some of his needs.
After practicing intensively for more than a month at home, Zhao Chun's aura became calmer and stronger. Zhao Chun narrowed her eyes and was quite confident about the competition. With her current methods, the disciples at the seventh level of Qi training are not afraid at all, and they may be able to compete with the eighth level. .
While Zhao Chun was practicing, Cuicui also found out who was participating in the competition and told her as if taking credit.
Among the four elders, except Qiu Yingying, who had no disciples, Li Shu had nineteen disciples, and together with her, a total of eight people participated in the war. Wu Yunzhang had three disciples, and one participated in the war. The most important was Ge Xingchao, who had more than three hundred disciples, and participated in the war. The number is one hundred and fifty. There is also Zheng Chenqing, who was personally taught by the headmaster and has only reached the ninth level of Qi training.
Zhao Shun originally thought that Li Shu had many disciples, but he didn't expect that Ge Xingchao had 300 disciples. Later, I learned that the sect had ordered that disciples with double spiritual roots must be accepted as disciples of elders after entering the inner sect. Qiu Yingying was still young and refused to accept disciples. Wu Yunzhang was obsessed with refining weapons and did not want to be accepted as disciples. Li Shu was very good at accepting disciples. If Qiu Yingying had not spoken out, he would not have accepted Zhao Chun. Therefore, Ge Xingchao had no choice but to follow the sect's laws and recruit many disciples.
A total of one hundred and sixty-two people came to the competition, of which fifty-five were in the late stage of Qi training and were the focus of this battle. There were also eight people at the ninth level of Qi training, almost half of the twenty places were confirmed.
These disciples may be surprised that Zhao Chun is ranked 19th on the list, but they do not really regard him as an opponent. He is only at the sixth level of Qi training, and it is difficult for him to be in the eyes of others.
The competition is held in the Round Drum Dojo, next to General Guantian. It is named after a huge round stone placed in the ground that looks like a big drum.
Those who come to this conference are all disciples of the elders, possessing dual spiritual roots, and are genius disciples in the eyes of others. Therefore, in addition to a few foundation-building disciples from the inner sect who came to watch, there were also many people from the outer sect. However, they were unable to receive Du Fan's invitation and could not sit down, so they could only gather in the outer circle of the dojo.
Three senior sisters and Zhou Pianran also arrived. They took special leave today to come and support Zhao Chun in the audience.
Zhao Shun looked over and saw Cao Wenguan, the receptionist, standing next to Cui Lan'e, whispering to her from time to time, and he seemed to be very familiar with her.
On the high pavilion stage, Meng Han and Xu Feng sat together. After he returned to the sect, he was summoned by Zhao Shun and found out that he had returned to the sect. He was relieved. The first reason for coming here this time was for Du The second reason Fan Zhi invited was for Zhao Chun, and he was fully confident that she could win the place in the Hundred Sects Chaohui.
Du Fanzhi was occupying the main seat, leaving an empty one next to him. Everyone was still confused, but suddenly they heard some fragrant fragrance drifting into the pavilion, and a woman Pingting walked in. Some people were surprised to hear: "It's Master Liu Alchemy who has arrived. !”
The elder personally passed it on to the first level. What really makes the inner disciples admire is Liu Xuan's exquisite alchemy skills. At a young age, she is already a third-level alchemy master of the Huang rank, and can refine the elixirs used in the foundation building period. If he is promoted to Ningyuan and reaches the second level, he can make elixirs for the elders of the sect. The Lingzhen sect's alchemy path was declining, and it took a long time for Liu Xuan to appear, so he was highly regarded in every possible way.
She nodded to everyone, walked slowly into the seat, and said with a smile: "I was delayed today to start the furnace, so I asked my Taoist friends to wait."
Everyone said it was okay, then they saw Du Fanzhi raising his hand and saying: "Senior sister is here, let's start immediately."
As soon as these words came out, the bell-ringing disciples took the signal and rang the big copper bell on the high platform, followed by two rows of big drums. The spectators became interested in the battle and raised their arms and shouted. The atmosphere was high for a while, and the disciples who participated in the battle were excited. open.
