Chapter 161: Eight Halls and Three Mountains
"Originally, Jingsi Hall was also counted among them, but I heard that a hundred years ago, the master there dismissed all the disciples in the hall in a fit of anger, so Jingsi Hall was removed from the Eight Great Halls, and Xuanqing Hall replaced Jingsi Hall, becoming the head of the Eight Great Halls, and adding Qiubai Hall to it.

"And the Chengqian Mountains have Fengyue Hall, Suhe Hall, Mingjing Hall, the Sun Moon Mountain is not big, there are only Qiubai Hall and Suspense Hall, the Chengqian Mountain and the Sun Moon Mountain are mainly many medicine fields, many mountains are suitable for cultivation and retreat, and the materials and construction are not as good as the Fuyuan Mountains where we are located."
"The eight elders of the Eight Great Hall, the one who manages the Xuanqing Hall is Guan Yun Zhenren, he is also the master of Mo Jingru and Mu Jinlan, my master is the Yufeng Zhenren of the Xuanlan Hall, and Su Zhuohua's master is the flower aunt of the Xuanzhi Hall."
"Hua Gu is Uncle Su's master?" Ling Motang's eyes widened: "Why don't I know this?" β
Qin Xue glanced at Ling Motang: "There are so many things you don't know, Senior Sister Su can intersect with you, most of them because her master likes you, so she looks at you differently." β
"You go on." Ling Motang rubbed his temples, he was still too young, why didn't he think to ask Su Zhuohua who his master was, and he didn't know if Su Zhuohua had a little report on her beating her with Hua Gu.
"Over the years, the competition between the eight halls has intensified, especially Xuanqing Hall and Xuanzhi Hall, there is a faint meaning of competition, and the relationship between Hua Gu and Elder Guan Yun is not very good, but whatever Elder Guan Yun suggests, Hua Gu will be opposed."
"And the head of the family, as the junior brother of these eight elders, has a very embarrassing position, and he can't help anyone, but he puts his daughter Mu Jinlan in Xuanqing Hall, which means that the head of the family is actually biased towards Xuanqing Hall."
Ling Motang thought to herself, she could see this through the incident of the altar last time, and the head of the sect couldn't say anything in front of his eight senior brothers: "But how did he become the head of the sect like this?" β
"There is an unwritten rule in the Liuyun Sect, that is, those who are not the hall masters should be in charge." Qin Xue explained: "Don't look at the high status of the head of a faction, in fact, this is not the case, the hall master has more real power, and the head of the sect is just a person who deals with daily trivial matters and communicates with other sects on face." β
Ling Motang said lightly, if you look at it this way, the identity of the head of the family is equivalent to the king of the United Kingdom, who only bears "ceremonial duties" and is a "virtual monarch".
Ling Motang asked again: "I heard that the Liuyun Sect already has eight young disciples who have broken through the foundation building period, which of the elders' disciples are they, how come I have never seen them?" β
"It is said that the young disciples are not young, most of them are in their fifties, and they can only belong to mediocre qualifications before they enter the initial level of foundation building in their fifties, and there is no great possibility to seek further progress, so Liuyun Sect only arranged a cave for them, and they didn't pay much attention to those eight disciples, and some of the disciples who have not entered the foundation building at the age of forty or fifty have gone down the mountain to marry wives and have children, and some have stayed in Liuyun Sect to do some small stewards and guard the mountain gate."
"The Liuyun Sect used to sit firmly at the head of the Seven Great Sects, but it withered a hundred years ago, and there have been no particularly qualified disciples over the years, and there is a tendency to be surpassed by other sects."
"And now Senior Sister Su is only double ten, there are faint signs of breaking through the foundation, if it goes on at this rate, Senior Sister Su is very likely to be able to reach the Jindan stage, you must know how much to measure whether a sect has strength, to see how many cultivators in a sect are above the Jindan stage and how many can become cultivators above the Jindan stage, so this retreat of Senior Sister Su is very much concerned by the halls and the head of the sect, especially Hua Gu's face is bright, after all, she is her own disciple."
Ling Motang listened to Qin Xue's analysis and roughly understood a little more in his heart: "So, Xuanqing Hall can't sit still, Elder Guan Yun should urgently hope that Mo Jingru and Mu Jinlan will make a breakthrough." β
Qin Xue said lightly: "Not only Xuanqing Hall can't sit still, but the other halls can't sit still, they all want their disciples to break through quickly, and they can strive for greater benefits in the sect, after all, the higher the strength of a hall, the higher his status in the sect, and the more resources such as pills and magic weapons will be shared." β
"I heard from Master that Elder Guan Yun intended to let Mo Jingru and Mu Jinlan go to Luoxia Peak in the Sun Moon Mountain to break through, and my master also hoped that I could catch up with Senior Sister Su's progress, so that I would retreat and cultivate in a few days, and I also decided to retreat, I didn't want to be left behind, and I didn't want to disappoint Master."
"I see." Ling Motang patted Qin Xue on the shoulder and encouraged her: "Then you have to cultivate hard, don't embarrass me, the next time we meet, I hope you have broken through the foundation." β
"That's what I'm going to say, I don't know how long my retreat will take, I hope you'll be an inner disciple when I get out, don't let me down." Qin Xue was a little worried about Ling Motang: "Without me and Senior Sister Su to help you, you have to protect yourself and don't let people bully you." β
Ling Motang waved his hand and patted his chest: "Don't worry, the powerful horns of the Liuyun Sect have gone to cultivate, how can anyone take care of not getting along with me, an outer disciple, I will devote myself to cultivation every day, and when you and Uncle Su are out of the customs, I will invite you to drink the best and strongest wine in the world." β
Qin Xue let out a long sigh, looked at the sunset that was about to set, and slowly got up: "It's not early, I'll go back to pack my things, I'm afraid that I will also rush to the Sun Moon Mountain to cultivate in the next three days." β
Ling Motang knew that most of the cultivators' retreats ranged from half a year to a year, and this time they were estimated to be separated for a long time, and they were reluctant to give up, but they didn't show anything on their faces, they only giggled and said, "Go, go, go." β
"This is a hundred taels of silver tickets, I know that the rest of your money is used by you to buy materials, and I don't have much silver around me, that's all, you take it to turn around first, since you want to make a fortune, then I will definitely help you." Qin Xue stuffed the silver ticket into Ling Motang's hand, and wanted to open her mouth to tell Ling Motang a few more words, but found that she had already said everything she had to say, and it was just a repetition that was boring.
Ling Motang was moved in his heart, pulled Qin Xue into his arms, and rubbed his chin on Qin Xue's shoulder: "If I were a man, I would definitely marry you." β
Qin Xue patted Ling Motang on the back and whispered slowly in Ling Motang's ear: "If you are a man, I will not marry you to death, scoundrel." β
"Holy!" Ling Motang pushed Qin Xue away, covered his heart and reprimanded: "So that's how you see me!" She pointed at Qin Xue's head, and her voice was aggrieved.
Qin Xue took a sip and rolled her eyes: "Let's go, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." "Flick your sleeves and leave, the red dress swings back and forth in the wind, it looks good.
Ling Motang laughed loudly behind Qin Xue and said, "Wait for your good news, you'd better hurry up and get out of the level, don't be caught up by me." "When Qin Xue breaks through the foundation, that is also the time for her Ling Motang to shine.
