April 15th.
Jade Dragon City, East Square.
Today is the day when Nanyu City Wenyuan Order is open for competition, but to Lu Li's surprise, the place is not as lively as he imagined. At least, there is no sign of a huge crowd.
There are only more than 300 foundation-building monks, and only a few of them are at the peak of foundation-building.
In fact, Lu Li had a misunderstanding. Although there were many monks in Nebula Kingdom, there were not many who built foundations. Especially for casual cultivators, it was quite difficult to build foundations.
What's more, the rules of this competition are so cruel that most monks who have reached the peak don't want to take this risk anymore.
After all, even the Wenyuan Terrace Trial at the foundation-building level cannot allow people to directly reach the sky and achieve the golden elixir cultivation level in one step. At most, it will only reach the peak of foundation-building.
That crucial step depends on yourself.
If it is possible to directly achieve the Golden Elixir, I am afraid that these monks who have reached the peak of their abilities will still have to earn a piece of Wenyuan Token even if they sharpen their heads.
Therefore, the current situation has been created, with very few monks at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
And almost all of them are old guys who have already stepped into the coffin, thinking that with their own efforts, it is impossible to reach the peak and perfection in this life.
Of course, in addition to the few at the peak of foundation building, there are also very few monks in the early stage of foundation building. Most of the reasons are that they believe that their cultivation is at the bottom during the foundation building period and they dare not go in to compete.
Therefore, after cutting off the head and tail, there are only a few people left.
The square is very large, and more than 300 people will not be crowded in it at all. The people from Yuxu Palace have not yet arrived, and at this time, everyone is pointing around a giant stone sculpture.
The stone sculpture itself is more than thirty feet tall, and coupled with the ten-foot-tall square seat, it makes people feel inexplicably inferior and oppressive.
"Old man, the man on this stone sculpture looks young. Have you heard of his origin?" Lu Li looked up at the stone sculpture and asked Wu De curiously.
Judging from the fact that the other person is only half a hundred years old, he must be an extraordinary person to be engraved here, right?
Yu Wenwen, Yue Hong, and Xiao Ling also looked at Wu De at the same time when they heard this.
Wu De waved his hands in disinterest and said disapprovingly, "Isn't this guy just Lin Yu? What's all the fuss about."
"Lin Yu?"
"You forgot, someone came from the north and killed ten thousand monsters with one sword!" Wu De reminded.
"Hiss! Is this him you're talking about?" Lu Li looked in disbelief.
"Of course, otherwise who would be qualified to erect a statue in the first city of Nebula."
"So this is ah."
Hearing what Wu De said, Lu Li couldn't help but look at the statue a few more times, and secretly admired it in his heart. According to Wu De, if it hadn't been for this person at the beginning, there would probably be no place for the human race in Nandou today.
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed and he asked again, "Then now he..."
When Wu De heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared unnaturally, "Why are you so troubled? Just take care of yourself..."
At this moment, Yu Wenwen suddenly took over the words, "Lin Yu! Could it be that he is the founder of the legendary Shenjian Pavilion?"
Wu De glanced at Yu Wenwen, "You boy, you do have some knowledge. He is indeed the founder of the Shenjian Pavilion, but he is just an arrogant maniac, not worth a penny..."
"..."
Just as Lu Li and the others were talking secretly, two shadows suddenly flashed over from the street to the east. Before anyone could react, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of the stone statue.
When everyone saw this, they were all shocked, and they all saluted respectfully: "Senior!"
There is no doubt that an expert from Yuxu Palace is here.
One is tall and the other is short, and both look to be over seventy years old. The taller one is wearing a blue Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and looks like an immortal.
Wearing a short coat of coarse linen, with a sallow complexion and trousers rolled up to his knees, he looked like an old farmer.
At this time, Lu Li looked a little excited. He was staring at the old farmer, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't shout out.
The old farmer seemed to feel something, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Lu Li through the crowd in front of him.
Seeing this, the old man frowned at first, then whispered to the green-robed Taoist next to him, and then walked towards Lu Li.
Seeing this, everyone in Lu Li's direction was stunned for a moment. They all thought it was coming towards him, and they all saluted respectfully with expectant expressions on their faces.
But the old man kept going all the way to the end.
Lu Li did not dare to neglect him. Before the other party could get closer, he took the initiative to greet him and said respectfully, "Young man, Lu Li, I have met my senior."
The old man looked Lu Li up and down, and said with a look of disbelief on his face, "I thought I was mistaken, but I didn't expect that it was really you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him was very envious, but Yu Wenwen showed a meaningful expression.
Lu Li nodded, "It is indeed a junior. The kindness of the senior's help that day will never be forgotten by the junior. I didn't expect to see the senior here today."
The old man smiled lightly and said, "This is fate, but your boy's growth rate is really beyond my expectation."
Then he looked back and looked into the distance, "How about taking a step to talk?"
Lu Li naturally would not refuse, "Senior, please."
The old man nodded, put one hand behind his back, and walked slowly towards the distance. Lu Li quickly followed and came to a deserted stone step. The old man sat down and patted the stone step next to him, "Sit down. .”
After Lu Li sat down, the old man said, "Didn't I give you a token at the beginning? Why didn't you come to Yuxu Palace? Did you join other first-rate forces?"
Lu Li shook his head quickly, "No, we were attacked by sea beasts at sea..."
Lu Li picked some key points and recounted what happened at that time before continuing, "Senior knows that my cultivation level was too low at that time, and Taihua Palace was too far away from Xingyun Palace..."
Hearing what Lu Li said, the old man couldn't help but soften a little, "So, you haven't joined any other forces in Nandou?"
Lu Li shook his head, "Senior clearly knows that after this junior achieved some success, he joined Feihe Sect, and then due to some things, he moved to Xuanyue Kingdom and joined Spirit Beast Mountain.
However, Spirit Beast Mountain suspected that this junior had unknown origins, was suspicious of me, and even planned to murder this junior, so I took the initiative to leave Spirit Beast Mountain after not staying long..."
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but frown secretly, "Feihe Sect is not bad, it is under the jurisdiction of my Yuxu Palace, but this Spirit Beast Mountain..."
After pondering for a moment, the old man suddenly asked, "Since you have been in Spirit Beast Mountain, you must have heard of Xie Changan, right?"
"Xie Chang'an?"
Lu Li was slightly startled and said a little strangely, "I do know you, senior. Do you have a grudge against him?"
"That's not the case. This person is very friendly and has some friendship with me. If what you say is true, I will accept you into the Yuxu Palace after I ask him for confirmation. Is that possible?"
"Senior, actually, I don't really want to join the sect..." In the past, Lu Li would naturally have wished for it, but now, he feels that it is good to be free outside alone.
The old farmer said unexpectedly, "Boy, you have to think about it. Although your cultivation is progressing very quickly now, do you know how difficult it is to condense the golden elixir..."
