The main peak of the sword mound, the meeting hall.

Shangguan Deyin, dressed in white, sat on the top of the ladder as the sect master. The aisle gathered the elders of the sect, the deacons and many core disciples of the inner sect. Only the elders, deacons, and chief disciples were seated. Qi Qi sat behind the elders and deacons.

"There is only one thing that summons you today. I decided to revise the rule that no male disciples are accepted in the sect. ”

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole house was in a riot.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

Han Ji stood up and said, "Sect Master, it is a matter of such a major matter as the recruitment of disciples, how can it be easily modified? If you let the male disciples come in, I am afraid that the disciples in the sect will be uneven." ”

Others chimed in.

Shangguan Deyin raised his eyebrows, "When I decided not to accept male disciples, you obstructed it in every possible way, but now that I have changed, you don't want to." What's the matter?

"At that time, I was also arrogant, but now I see the advantages of the sect master's decision, and I have come to my senses. ”

"Recruit male disciples widely, the level of the younger generation of the sect will only be stronger and more stable, and there is not necessarily a mixture of good and bad. In the first eight years that I succeeded to the throne, the male and female disciples in the sect were equal, and the strength of the sect was at its peak, and it was powerful in all directions, which everyone can see. ”

"But, but..."

At this time, Tang Yue stood up and said, "Sect Master, now that we female disciples in the sect are used to this kind of life, if you suddenly let the male disciples join, I'm afraid that we will not be able to adapt to it, that may not only fail to improve the strength of the younger generation of the sect, but will have an impact." ”

Shangguan Deyin smiled slightly, "Really? How do you get along with my junior brother Qi Qi? Does his presence have an impact on you? Is the influence good or bad?"

"Sect Master, this..."Tang Yue was silent. Qi Qi was of course an exception, his presence inspired her to work harder to cultivate, using him as a benchmark, and wanting to surpass him. Before he came, she was the first person of the younger generation of Sword Shrine, with a bright halo, and the arrival of Qi Qi threw her to the bottom, and she was thinking about regaining her own "throne" all the time. Qi Qi's existence, although it has an impact on her, is definitely a benign influence. Merely...

She added, "Sect Master. Senior Brother Qi Qi is a special case, although he is an extremely brilliant category among male disciples, but Sect Master, you definitely can't guarantee that every male disciple who joins the sect will be as good as Senior Brother Qi Qi, right?"

Shangguan Deyin's eyes shot at Tang Yue, "But it won't all be inferior, will it?"

"This..."

"Well, I know that this rule has been in place for ten years, and everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of environment, and it is inevitable that they will not adapt to it if they suddenly make adjustments. But this decision has to be made after all, and if it is delayed, it is not necessarily what it will be. Besides, now that we all want to return the sword mound to its former glory, it must be imperative to recruit students. So, this matter is decided!"

The room was silent, but in the end, no one objected.

Seeing this, Shangguan Deyin and his junior brother exchanged a tacit understanding and smiled.

······

Jade Girl Peak, wooden house.

"Senior sister, you are still as capable and decisive as ever!" Qi Qi's eyebrows danced.

Shangguan Deyin chuckled, "I still have a time to be more decisive!"

"So that's the end of the matter now, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"In this way, the strength of the sect's disciples will definitely be significantly improved. The male disciples recruited must not be bad as long as they are trained by good students. Senior sister, you were able to lift the sword mound to that height in the past, and now you will definitely be able to!"

"Senior brother believe in me, I will definitely do it!"

"Hey, hey. ”

"But... The revitalization of the sect must not only be in the morning and night, but also in the long run. I can't guarantee what will happen along the way. ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. No matter what happens, I will do my best to assist Senior Sister!"

"Thank you, junior brother. ”

"However, Senior Sister, I have dealt a heavy blow to the punishment heaven of the Hehuan Sect, will they be angry and take revenge on the Sword Shrine?"

A cold light flashed in Shangguan Deyin's eyes, "They can, but they don't dare." ”

"Why?"

"Although my sword mound is in decline now, the basic foundation is still there. If they want to completely erase the sword mound, they will inevitably lose their vitality. That undoubtedly gave the other five sects an opportunity to take advantage of. They won't take that risk. ”

Qi Qi nodded.

Shangguan Deyin groaned, "But... The suppression of us is indispensable. They will rob our Sword Shrine of its students, as well as its cultivation resources. In the long run, our sword shrine will be gradually smoothed. ”

"Then senior sister, can I help in any way?"

"Yes, but I don't really want you to go. ”

"Why?"

"Places where there are spiritual herbs and other spiritual elixirs are bred with some strange monsters, and the danger is not lower than that of martial artists. And every time it is time to mine, many sects in the rivers and lakes will send disciples to fight, and there will be a bloody battle. If you go, it will be dangerous. ”

"Senior sister, you shouldn't be so sentimental. Walking in the rivers and lakes, danger is unavoidable. If you are afraid of death because you are afraid of death, it will be difficult for you to grow in cultivation. How can you not understand this truth when you have reached this height?"

"I know, it's just... I can't see you hurt, junior brother. ”

Qi Qi chuckled, "You've even seen my near-death appearance, what else can't you accept? As long as the extent of my injuries doesn't exceed near-death." ”

"Qi Qi!" Shangguan Deyin was so anxious that he called out the name of his junior brother, "How can you make a joke like this?!"

Qi Qi sat down beside her senior sister and naturally held her hand, "Okay, senior sister, you can agree." I promise you, no matter what you do, I'll come back to you in the end, okay?"

Shangguan Deyin also clenched his junior brother's hand, "This is what you said, no matter what, it will be fine." ”

Qi Qi nodded and said with a smile, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"Okay, you come with me," Shangguan Deyin pulled Qi Qi to a corner of the house, where a wooden cabinet was placed.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Deyin opened the cabinet and took out a pair of silver-white armor from it.

"You wear this armor, and ordinary knives and guns will hurt you no longer. ”

Qi Qi took it and asked, "This is Senior Sister yours, right?"

Shangguan Deyin nodded, "Hmm." ”

"Then I can't ask for it, you can keep it. Qi Qi pushed the armor back, but the senior sister didn't answer.

"If you give it to you, you will take it, since you call me senior sister, I am your elder, don't you listen to the elders?"

"This..."

"And as long as I don't experience any tragic battles, I won't need this armor, you will leave the sect soon, give you the best. ”

"Well, okay, thank you, senior sister. ”

Shangguan Deyin touched his junior brother's head, "I'm your senior sister, don't thank me." ”

"Hehe," Qi Qi sneered.

"Senior brother, you haven't cultivated the Fa yet, have you?"

"Hmm," Qi Qi nodded.

Shangguan Deyin handed a volume of jade slips to his junior disciple, "This is the "Xuanyang Sutra", and it is also the top exercise, which I obtained when I went out to practice, and the "Xuanhan Sutra" I practiced was also obtained together at that time. The Eight Extremes Sword you cultivated, as well as your fighting style, are very suitable for cultivating this Xuanyang Sutra, refining a mouthful of Xuanyang Fierce Qi in your body, and defeating the enemy!"

Qi Qi didn't hesitate and took it, "The master told me back then, if you don't encounter an exercise that you really like and is suitable for, don't rush to cultivate true qi, although that will bring a temporary increase in combat power, but in the long run, it will not be beneficial at all." Now that my senior sister has given me this volume of the Xuanyang Sutra, it is really just right. Senior brother thanked senior sister!"

said that he bowed heavily to his senior sister.

Shangguan Deyin frowned and said, "Didn't I say don't say thank you, why do you always do it against me?"

Qi Qi said solemnly, "Such a heavy object, I have to thank you." ”

Shangguan Deyin couldn't help it, so he had to glare at him, "Although this Xuanyang Sutra is extremely powerful, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it needs to cooperate with extremely positive herbs or environments in order to truly stimulate the Xuanyang Sutra and refine the Xuanyang Fierce Qi." Now there is only one Heavenly Grass in the sect, which is extremely positive, at most it can help you get started, and slightly cultivate your true qi in the dantian. If you cultivate for a long time, you still need to look for it vigorously, otherwise no matter how good this Xuanyang Sutra is, it will be difficult to play a role. I neither support nor oppose your choice of this Xuanyang Sutra, and the final decision is up to you. ”

"Is this so..."Qi Qi thought for a moment and said, "The Xuanyang Sutra is such a top-notch exercise, and it is so suitable for me, it is impossible to meet, although it is extremely difficult to cultivate, but it is not impossible, I decided to leave it at that." ”

"Well, although there are not many resources in the sect that can help you cultivate the Xuanyang Sutra at the moment, I will do my best to find it for you. ”

"Thank you, senior sister. ”

"Since you have decided to leave the sect to compete for cultivation resources, then you will go to Taishan in a month's time, in the east of Zhongchao Province, eight hundred miles away from here, about two or three days away. The grass on the mountain matures in March every year. This grass has a promoting effect on the refining of true qi by martial artists, and it is a good cultivation aid. ”

"Okay, senior sister, I'll listen to you. ”

"You don't have to worry that the people who go to Taishan to compete for the land Yancao will have a strength far beyond yours, because over the years, the people in the rivers and lakes have formed a certain tacit understanding, and people with a certain strength have participated in the competition for a certain degree of precious cultivation resources. Because there are many cultivation resources on this river and lake that are more precious than Diyancao, if these powerhouses give up the precious ones and choose the less good Diyancao, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for them. Of course, there are always some people who like to go off the beaten path, so you must pay more attention when you arrive. You can't bring it back, but you have to come back well. You know what?"

"I will, senior sister. ”

"Then you can use it to cultivate the Xuanyang Sutra in this month's time, that Heavenly Grass is enough for you to get started. ”

"Senior sister... The only Heavenly Grass in the sect, I'll just take it like this, and the same sect will be dissatisfied, right?"

Shangguan Deyin chuckled, "You don't have to worry about this, Xun Tiancao is not an ordinary cultivation aid, it is extremely positive, and it is only applicable to very few situations." It is worth mentioning that it was found by me six years ago in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion in the sect, and if it weren't for your appearance, it might have been shelved for even longer. ”

"So that's the case, then senior sister, do you remember where you got the Heavenly Grass at that time, and I should be able to go there to find the Heavenly Grass in the future, right?"

Shangguan Deyin shook his head, "That was the spoils that the other party lost to me when I was fighting with others, and I didn't know that you would be able to use it now, so I didn't ask." ”

"This is natural, if the senior sister can predict the future, it will be strange. Qi Qi chuckled.

Shangguan Deyin frowned and pinched his junior brother's ears, "You dare to say that senior sister is a weirdo?

Qi Qi smiled, "Don't dare, don't dare!Senior sister, let go!"

"Hmph!" Shangguan Deyin clasped his hands to his chest.

Qi Qi said with a smile, "Senior Sister is really cute like this, you are usually cold, if you let other people in the sect see you like this, I believe their expressions will be very exciting." ”

"You still dare to joke about Senior Sister?" Shangguan Deyin glared.

"Don't dare, senior sister, I'll go to practice first!" he said, and slipped away as if he had fled.

Looking at the back of his junior brother leaving, Shangguan Deyin snorted, and slowly, a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes...
