The selection of the main peak finally came to a successful conclusion in a harmonious atmosphere, and it could be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the top leaders of each sect have left, Lingtian Pavilion has to start the final and most important step of selection: deciding on the retention and distribution of participating disciples.
After many rounds of competition, Ren Hailiu, who had played against Liu Yuan, won the first place.
Liu Yuan's outstanding performance is also obvious to all, although he stopped at eight points and four points. But among the fifth to eighth places, it ended up in a relatively high sixth position.
Mu Bingcheng lost to Liu Yuan when he entered the 16th and 8th place, but for some reason, he was promoted as the best two among the losers, thus entering the final top ten. How much of this is due to performance in battle, and how much is due to family relationships, is unknown.
The formal selection is still taking place in the huge square of Tianshu Peak. Except for Mu Bingcheng who was seriously injured and unable to attend, the other nine new disciples were all present.
Among them, there are five disciples of the Ren family, three disciples of the Mu family, and Liu Yuan is the only disciple with a foreign surname. This ratio is similar to previous years.
As usual, the disciple surnamed Mu was inferior to the Ren family by one position, and the first place was also taken away by Ren Hailiu, which made the pavilion master Mu Qinghe feel a little ashamed.
However, in the pavilion master's speech, he still emphasized that Lingtian Pavilion belongs to the same family, and hoped that all new disciples would cherish the opportunity at the main peak, abandon family prejudices, and work together to promote Lingtian Pavilion to greatness.
After these scenes were said, the main event was about to begin, and now everyone woke up. As usual, the top three promotions have the initiative to choose, while the following disciples face the choice of major peaks. Of course, they also have the right to say no.
The first place winner, Ren Hailiu, took the lead in choosing Tianlu Peak, which has the most outstanding skills in weapon refining. Peak Director Qian Chong was naturally happy with his success.
Next, several promoted disciples who were ranked in front of Liu Yuan found their destinations one after another in the "courtesy" of the major peaks. Through Mu Qinghe's mediation, the major peaks were distributed as equally as possible, which can be regarded as a harmonious whole.
When it was Liu Yuan's turn, the main peaks were not as active as before. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that although his performance was good, he was still a low-grade fake spiritual root. Mu Yuandi was the first to express his opinion. There was an agreement in advance. Since Liu Yuan had passed the selection, it was natural that Mu Yuandi would take the initiative to recommend him and find a place for him:
Tianyou Peak.
When Mu Yuandi said this, Tianyou Peak Peak Master Mu Yezhou was not happy. If Liu Yuan was chosen, it would be difficult to accept the next seven to ten people. However, Tianqin and Tianyou have always had a close relationship. After Mu Yuandi broke through Nascent Soul, Tianyou became the last main peak without Nascent Soul, and it also needed to rely on Tianqin for three points.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Yezhou was ready to accept Liu Yuan generously. At this time another voice sounded.
"Wait a minute, Ye Zhou. It's better for me to stay here. Everyone, do you have any objections?"
The person who spoke was Tianji Fengfeng's director Shi Dao. Everyone was shocked. Logically speaking, Tianji Peak should be able to accept one more person. If Liu Yuan is accepted, it means that the seventh to tenth Tianji will no longer be involved.
For a pseudo spiritual root...
Does this kid have any special talents? But that is a pseudo-spiritual root after all. This disadvantage will become more and more obvious as the practice deepens, because each level after foundation building requires more and more massive spiritual energy to support. The grade of the spiritual root determines the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. This is an unchangeable fact.
However, Ren Shidao seemed to be confident. He blinked at Liu Yuan, who was shocked in his heart. This was the signal agreed upon by Ren Jingzong. He recalled the agreement made when Jingzong, the director of Wenhui Pavilion, taught the spirit contract technique.
The first is to wipe out the grievances with Ren Tianqing. The second is to join his recommendation rather than follow Mu Yuandi's arrangements.
This was just right, as he had no good impression of Mu Yuandi in the first place. And Tianji Peak is where the Tianji Map comes from. Liu Yuan even had a hunch that Ren Jingzong seemed to have already made tailor-made arrangements for the best place for him.
Thinking of this, he immediately bowed to Tianji Peak's chief teacher: "This disciple has admired Tianji Peak for a long time and is about to worship him."
Mu Yuandi frowned and looked at Ren Shidao, who was calm and calm. In the end, he didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence. On the other hand, Mu Yezhou secretly thanked Ren Shidao for "cutting off".
After several rounds of intricate negotiations between several peak masters, the ownership of all the top ten promoted disciples was finally settled. However, Mu Bingcheng, who had not recovered from his injuries, finally joined Tianyou Peak.
Liu Yuan joined Tianji Peak as the only disciple with a foreign surname this time.
The song ends and everyone disperses. Just when Director Feng Shidao was about to lead Liu Yuan and all the disciples back to 8 Tianji Peak. Liu Yuan suddenly made a request:
"I would like to ask Master, once I enter Tianji Peak this time, will it be inconvenient to come out again, because I still have some unfinished business, disciple."
"Haha, my Tianji Peak is not a prison," Ren Shidao laughed dumbly, "You can go back and take care of yourself. This is human nature."
"However," the Tianji Peak Master immediately said seriously, "according to convention, disciples after entering the main peak must undergo a one-year retreat to correct the foundation of cultivation and prepare for foundation building. Therefore, I hope that you will Likewise, after other things are settled, you have to focus on nothing else.”
Liu Yuan naturally understood these truths and nodded in agreement.
"This is your senior brother Wu, and he is also my eldest disciple," Master Ren pointed out one person, "After you have finished your secular affairs, you can send him the transmission note and he will lead you up the mountain."
Wu Darong was two heads taller than Liu Yuan, with a square face and dark skin. He smiled at Liu Yuan in a friendly manner. After the two exchanged transmission notes, he patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder, "I saw your fight, really good!"
In this way, Liu Yuan bid farewell to the people of Tianji Peak and returned to the Wenhui Pavilion of the Ren family. A group of Wenhui Pavilion disciples immediately gathered around him.
Since they already know the news of his promotion, everyone's attitude has become completely different from before. Liu Yuan, who was once a transparent man, has now become a star-studded existence. He will flatter Liu Yuan as if he is not asking for spiritual stones. submerged.
"Zheng Jing, come and save me," Liu Yuan finally saw an acquaintance, Zheng Jing, whom he had fought with in the Trial Valley. So grab this life-saving straw quickly.
"Liu...Liu"
"Liu...Venerable Liu," Zheng Jing was about to call Liu Yuan as before, but suddenly realized something was wrong and stammered out such a title.
Liu Yuan suddenly realized that there was an insurmountable gap between him, Zheng Jing, and these low-level deacon disciples. This is a boundary that he doesn't care about, but the other party must not break away from.
He was already a disciple of the main peak, a core disciple that Zheng Jing did not dare to call by his first name.
Gone are the days of fighting side by side.
That’s all.
He looked at Zheng Jing, who was always in love, and heard the flattering voices of lower-level disciples in his ears, and suddenly felt tired.
It's not that I'm tired of these people, after all, once upon a time, I was one of them. What he is tired of is this hierarchical world, which cannot be avoided in both the secular world and the world of cultivation.
Just leave. Some things can never go back.
He found an excuse to say goodbye to everyone, and said goodbye to Wenhui Pavilion where he had lived for three years. Ren Jingzong was nowhere to be seen, so Liu Yuan had no choice but to bow solemnly to the east three times.
From now on, I will start a new chapter!
