Early the next morning, he came to the kitchen, and at this time several disciples of the Refining Hall were already eating.

In addition to Qin Fengming's three disciples who helped in the refining room, there were more than 20 disciples in the refining hall who were responsible for inspection, duty, cleaning, eating and other miscellaneous duties in the refining hall.

Grab the food, sit down at a table, and eat slowly.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a disciple behind me say, "Senior Brother Wang, have you heard of it, in three months, this sect will conduct a selection competition between low-level disciples. I heard that the rewards for this competition are very generous. ”

"Of course I know about this, I heard that in this selection, in addition to getting a high-grade magic weapon, the shortlisted disciples can also be rewarded with a foundation building pill, which is a pill that has a great effect on breaking through the peak of the qi gathering period and entering the realm of the foundation building period. Senior Brother Wang said, and his tone couldn't help but show a hint of envy.

"However, I don't have the slightest chance in this competition, Senior Brother Wang works hard, and there is still great hope. ”

"Hehe, what hope can I have, although I am in the eighth-layer realm, but if I want to compete with the ninth-layer and the Great Perfection realm senior brothers, I am so good, how can I have the slightest hope of winning, I still don't have illusions. Senior Brother Wang said with a smile.

When Qin Fengming heard this, he was stunned, what kind of selection? And Zhuji Dan? He hadn't heard of any recent selections in the sect, so he turned around, and when he saw the two of them, they both knew each other, so he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I don't know, what is the selection you just talked about? Can you tell Senior Brother?"

"Haha, it turned out to be Senior Brother Qin, and I don't complain that you don't know, you have always been either cultivating or helping Uncle Fei in the refining room, so there are many things in the sect that are not as well-informed as me. It's no secret, so I'll tell my junior brother about it. ”

Then, Senior Brother Wang and the person just now, you and I, will talk about it. Qin Fengming listened carefully, and slowly had a general understanding of the so-called selection.

Speaking of this selection, we have to start with the Great Liang Kingdom's cultivation of the immortal realm.

There are three first-class sects in the entire Great Liang Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm, namely: Chasing Wind Valley, Wangting Mountain, and Xiaoyao Gate; in addition to these three first-class sects, there are five sects that are slightly inferior and are listed as second-rate sects, they are: Luoxia Sect, Crouching Tiger Mountain, Exorcism Gate, Blood Refining Sect and Taixu Gate.

The entire Great Liang Kingdom was jointly controlled by these eight sects.

When it comes to cultivating immortals, it is inseparable from spirit stones, and the generation of spirit stones has to talk about spirit stone mines. There are a total of 19 large spirit stone mines in the entire Daliang country, and the various spirit stones produced by these 19 deposits are comparable in quantity and quality.

Of course, in addition to these nineteen large spirit stone mines, there are also many small spirit stone mines, and the spirit stones produced by those small spirit stone mines are not comparable in quality and output compared with the big spirit stone mines. These small spirit stone mines are owned by many immortal cultivation families and major sects.

Two or three thousand years ago, as far as the spirit stone mine belonged, a great war was fought in the entire Great Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, and the monks were killed and injured countless times.

Zuihou, the high-ranking monks of various sects combined, called back and forth like this, the problem was not solved, and it also brought immeasurable losses to the Great Liang State Cultivation Immortal Realm. After joint consultation, a more feasible solution was finally come up.

That is, three of the sects with infant cultivators were listed as a level, and ten of the nineteen Great Spirit Stone Mines were taken out, and among them, they could select disciples to compete in martial arts, and the winner would occupy four of them, and the rest would each occupy three.

The remaining five sects were listed as one rank and competed for the remaining nine, with the first place occupying three of them, the second and third places each occupying two, and the remaining ones each occupying one.

But this is not a permanent occupation, but a fight every thirty years.

The competition is that the disciples of the five factions participate in the on-site competition, and only the disciples of the Qi Gathering Period can be selected to participate each time. Each sect can only produce forty disciples at a time. The five factions took turns to hold this competition, and this competition would be held at the Blood Refining Gate.

Seeing that the thirty-year period was about to expire, the high-level leaders of the Luoxia Sect decided to conduct a competition between the disciples of the Qi Gathering Period to select the disciples who would participate in this battle.

The time of this competition is set for three months later. The selected disciples will also be specially instructed by the uncle in the foundation building period for half a year, and then participate in the competition for the spirit stone mine a year later.

In order to encourage powerful disciples to participate, the high-level leaders of the Luoxia Sect took out the Tsukuji Dan as a reward for the winner. Use this as an incentive to stimulate those disciples of the Ninth Layer Realm and the Great Perfection Realm during the Qi Gathering Period to participate.

Zhuji Dan, as the name suggests, is a kind of pill taken by immortal cultivators when building the foundation. This elixir can help the monk to increase the success rate of foundation building.

But for most monks, it is that they take Tsukidan, and whether they can build a foundation smoothly depends on their chances, but if they do not take Tsukidan, it is impossible to build a foundation successfully. Unless there are special circumstances, such as swallowing some kind of spirit grass.

To refine the Zhuji Dan, the spiritual grass required is extremely precious, even the various sects do not have enough materials to refine enough Zhuji Dan for the disciples to take.

Therefore, if the disciples of each sect want to obtain the Zhuji Dan, they must either be extremely talented in cultivation and have excellent spiritual root attributes, or they must have made outstanding contributions to the sect, such as handing in an extremely precious material, or discovering a cherished elixir that is hundreds or thousands of years old.

For a sect with thousands of disciples, only one-tenth of the disciples who have the opportunity to take the Tsukidan account for one-tenth, and those who can successfully build the foundation are less than one-tenth of the disciples who take the Tsukidan. It is conceivable that it is difficult for the monks to build the foundation.

But as long as the monk succeeds in building the foundation, then he will really step into the door of cultivating immortals, and his lifespan will be more than double the original, and his mana will be more powerful.

Therefore, the disciples of the Qi Gathering Period, the desire for Zhuji Dan is extremely urgent.

This time, the selection of low-level disciples of the Luoxia Sect stipulates that only disciples who have reached the eighth-level realm of the Qi Gathering Period and are not more than thirty years old are eligible to participate.

Although it was stipulated that all eighth-layer realm disciples could participate, no one would have any hope for eighth-layer realm disciples.

The competition between low-level monks, under the same magic weapons and spell conditions, is mainly to see whose mana is profound, and only those who are deep have the hope of winning. Therefore, in the past competitions of disciples from all walks of life, Zuihou won the Great Perfection Realm disciples in the Qi Gathering Period, and represented the Luoxia Sect to participate in the competition for the Spirit Stone Mine.

But there are also occasional ninth-layer disciples in the Qi Gathering Period who win, and as for the eighth-layer realm, it has never appeared. There is no other reason, there are hundreds or thousands of peak disciples in the Qi-gathering period of the Luoxia Sect, and if you want to stand out from the many Great Perfection disciples, the difficulty can be imagined.
