Chapter 36: The Ten Heavenly Pride

Xiang Pingfan's worry was right, Wang Xiaoran really didn't take his reminder to heart, Wang Xiaoran's goal was the ultimate championship reward, how could he easily give up the game.

The distance between the Dan Pavilion and the square is not too far, Wang Xiaoran followed the army out of the square, and after turning two or three paths, a magnificent hall appeared in front of Wang Xiaoran's eyes.

The shape of the main hall has the shadow of the palace in ancient times, the four corners of the roof of the throne are semicircular, and the purple-red bricks and tiles set off a domineering and noble atmosphere.

On both sides of the main entrance of the main hall is a huge furnace, the body of which is more than a meter high, and its whole body exudes purple light.

There is a plaque hanging above the main entrance, on which the two big characters of Dan Pavilion are written in cursive, after Wang Xiaoran saw these two big characters, he felt that the person who wrote these two big characters was absolutely very human, and the words all revealed a misty and dusty meaning, which just matched the image of Dan Pavilion.

Walking into the interior of the Dan Pavilion, there is no splendid decoration inside, only a huge cupola furnace erected in the center, and a square counter surrounding the Dan furnace.

There is a plaque on each of the square counters, on which are written four groups of words: inner door, outer door, task, and reward.

Wang Xiaoran followed the disciples who participated in the first round of assessment to the front of the counter with the words "reward" written on the plaque, lined up in turn, and received the wrapped rewards handed out by the Taoist children wearing old Taoist robes in the counter.

There are not many items to be rewarded, and they are not very precious, just five Hui Yuan Pills, this kind of pill is of little use to these disciples who can successfully pass the first round of assessment, and it has some effect on those disciples who are just getting started.

Even if there is no use, these disciples who have passed the assessment are still happy to run to receive it, firstly, this is the proof that they have passed the assessment, and secondly, they can use it to reward their subordinates if they don't need it, so that their subordinates can work harder for them.

After receiving the rewards of the Dan Pavilion, Wang Xiaoran followed the team to the Hall of Instruments and the Beast Mansion as he could, and received the other two rewards respectively.

The reward of the Instrument Hall is a random five kinds of refining materials, most of which are common things in the cultivation world, there are few rare materials, and there is no Wang Xiaoran among the disciples who get those rare materials.

It is worth mentioning that the beast mansion, the disciples who went to the beast mansion are all geniuses who have passed the three assessments, among these disciples, except for Wang Xiaoran, they have heard a little about each other, and along the way, you have never stopped saying polite words to me.

Because of this, without acquaintances, Wang Xiaoran, who has been unknown, has become a little outstanding.

Although the time of the three rounds of assessment is not long, it is not short, which is enough for them to have a certain understanding of Wang Xiaoran, and Wang Xiaoran can come this far, which is enough to prove that Wang Xiaoran's talent belongs to the demon level.

But it is precisely because of this that everyone tacitly distanced themselves from Wang Xiaoran, showing that they did not want to make friends with Wang Xiaoran.

Xiang Pingfan told Wang Xiaoran before not to be too conspicuous tomorrow, just admit defeat directly in the first game, as for the specific reason, he didn't tell Wang Xiaoran, and now he encountered the cold treatment of these disciples, Wang Xiaoran vaguely felt that his invisible performance seemed to offend something terrible.

"No matter who you are or how powerful you are, as long as you don't provoke me, if you hate me for my performance in Dabi, I will let you know what it costs me to provoke me. Walking behind these less than a hundred disciples on the way to the beast mansion, Wang Xiaoran thought to himself.

When he arrived at the Beast's Mansion, Wang Xiaoran came to the Beast's Mansion to line up in front of the counter where the rewards were issued, and waited silently for the disciples in the Beast's Mansion who were responsible for distributing the rewards to him.

The beast mansion, the instrument hall and the Dan Pavilion are the three huge forces in the hidden gates, whether it is the shape of the mansion or the dress of the disciples, the only difference is the logo ornaments inside the door outside their door.

The ornament of the Dan Pavilion is the Dan furnace, the ornament of the instrument hall is a huge instrument tripod, and the ornament of the beast house is a beast statue that Wang Xiaoran has never seen.

Since Wang Xiaoran had come here behind those disciples before, when queuing, Wang Xiaoran did not fight or grab, and took the initiative to stand in the last position.

When Wang Xiaoran came to the counter, the Taoist boy who handed out the reward glanced at Wang Xiaoran, and then took out a black bag from under the counter with a strange face and handed it to Wang Xiaoran.

These Dao Tong would take a look at the appearance of the receiving disciples before handing out the rewards, and they were not qualified to go to watch the Hidden Gate Great Competition, and they did not know which disciples were who received the rewards.

And these disciples who have been rewarded by Dabi do not have an exclusive identity token in the hidden door due to the fact that they have not entered the hidden door for less than three years, and even if they are full of three years, there are few people who will get the exclusive token of the identity of the hidden disciples, and most of them return to their respective doors and receive the identity token in the door.

Without an exclusive identity token, these Dao Tong could not be sure if the disciple who came to receive the reward was really the disciple who received the reward.

In order to prevent the reward from being fraudulently claimed, someone in the Hidden Gate is responsible for handing over the portraits of the disciples of Dabi Shengli to the authorities of the various departments responsible for distributing the rewards, and these people in power will hand over the rewards and the portraits of these disciples to these Taoist boys who distribute the rewards.

And the person in charge of this matter, after handing over the portrait to the authorities of the various departments, will quietly follow behind the disciples who receive the reward, making sure that it is the disciples themselves who receive the reward.

After Wang Xiaoran took the reward that Dao Tong handed over to him, he dismantled the reward on the spot.

The Dao Tong who distributed the reward had a strange expression on his face, looking at Wang Xiaoran's eyes, knowing that his reward was very likely to be tampered with.

The disciples who also came to receive the reward saw Wang Xiaoran's move, and they all showed disdain, and there was nothing wrong with opening the reward on the spot, but everyone held their own identities, and their actions would be relatively hidden when they checked it, so as not to be seen by others.

This is the case when the Dan Pavilion and the Instrument Hall are like this, after all the disciples receive their rewards, they will quickly and tacitly go to a relatively remote corner, secretly open the package of the rewards, take a look at the rewards inside, and after knowing what the rewards are inside, they will return to the disciple stream as if nothing happened.

While Wang Xiaoran's act of opening the black bag containing his reward in public aroused the contempt of all the disciples, the face of the Taoist boy who distributed the reward changed greatly.

"It turned out that the reward for passing the third assessment turned out to be animal dung. Wang Xiaoran glanced at the inside of the black bag that he had opened to hold his own reward, there was a transparent plastic bag inside, and the transparent plastic bag was wrapped in a cloud of dripping feces, Wang Xiaoran couldn't tell whether this was human feces or animal feces, in line with the saying that people are high-level animals, Wang Xiaoran summarized it as animal feces.

"What? The reward is animal dung?" Wang Xiaoran's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the disciple who had not had time to check what his reward was opened in public regardless of his own image.

Those disciples who had received it earlier already knew what their reward was, and looked at Wang Xiaoran with a strange expression.

"Nonsense, where did the animal feces come from, it's obviously a money mink, although it's not a particularly precious spirit animal, but it's still good to help find treasures on weekdays. ”

"I'll just say that the Hidden Sect won't deceive our disciples like this, the rewards for the third round of assessment are indeed all kinds of spirit beasts, and mine is still the more cherished Tongtian Mouse. ”

......

Soon, the hall of the beast mansion was filled with all kinds of voices reporting their rewards, and without exception, all of them got relatively satisfied spirit beasts.

After some commotion, these disciples also realized something, and they all looked at Wang Xiaoran with pity.

Obviously, among all the people present, only Wang Xiaoran's reward was a pile of animal feces, which means that Wang Xiaoran's reward was tampered with.

The one who can give Wang Xiaoran's reward is definitely not an ordinary character like Daotong, at least a big man in an important position like the inner door protector.

In the hidden door, there are two deputy door masters below the door master, and then there are the Dan master, the instrument master, the beast master, the array master, the Fu master, the law master, the treasure master and the eight god masters, each god has two deputy god masters, under which are the Taishang Elders, the Keqing Elders, the Inner Gate Elders and the Outer Gate Elders, under the elders are the Inner Gate Protector and the Outer Gate Protector, and then the Inner Door Team Leader and Xiang Pingfan's Outer Gate Team Leader.

The so-called outer gate is actually the person who is responsible for managing the related affairs of these disciples who have been in the school for less than three years, as well as the communication with the secular world.

"Oh, so that's the case, the rewards of the beast house are the same as the rewards of the Instrument Palace, they are all random, so it seems that my idea is indeed a bit back, otherwise this pile of animal feces can't be randomly on me." After many disciples revealed what kind of spirit beast their reward was, Wang Xiaoran's performance was extremely calm, which made people scratch their heads.

Wang Xiaoran didn't make trouble because of his reward, and this matter passed so plainly.

After receiving the reward, less than a hundred disciples who passed the third round of assessment returned to their residences to prepare for tomorrow's competition.

In the depths of a magnificent temple at the inner gate of the Hidden Gate, a middle-aged man dressed as an elder of the inner gate of the Hidden Gate bent down in front of a young man who was cross-legged on a futon.

"Is the matter done?, what kind of performance does that Wang Xiaoran have?" the young man looked at the middle-aged man indifferently and asked coldly.

"Back to the young master, everything is done, and the king endured it without saying a word. In the face of the young man's inquiry, the middle-aged man bent back.

"Oh?" Hearing the middle-aged man's response, the young man's face showed a somewhat surprised expression, and he closed his eyes thoughtfully.

Seeing the young man behaving like this, the middle-aged man didn't bother, bowed respectfully to the young man, and then quietly retreated.

"I hope you can figure out what you should do, otherwise as long as you are in the hidden door for a day, I will let you know what life is better than death!" After the middle-aged man withdrew, the young man opened his eyes and sneered to himself.

On the other side, Wang Xiaoran, who came to the Hidden Gate for the first time, broke away from the crowd of disciples who had returned to his residence, and came to the square where he had participated in the assessment before, and Xiang Pingfan had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Let's go, because you are a disciple I recruited in the secular world, and your identity is still different from those disciples who have been in the world for less than three years, so I haven't arranged a place for you to live for the time being, so you can live with me.

After you have joined the Hidden Gate for three years, you will be given a residence in the Inner Gate. As soon as he saw Wang Xiaoran, Xiang Pingfan took the initiative to greet him.

"Hmm. Wang Xiaoran nodded.

Subsequently, Wang Xiaoran followed Xiang Pingfan to Xiang Pingfan's residence in Yinmen.

It was a modest mud-tiled bungalow, less than forty square meters in size, with nothing but a bed and a few futons.

Wang Xiaoran and Xiang Pingfan didn't even look at the bed, and directly sat cross-legged on the futon, meditating and cultivating.

"Team leader, can you tell me about the deeds of these disciples who have not been in the school for three years?" After sitting down on the futon, Wang Xiaoran asked a little impatiently.

Glancing at Wang Xiaoran, Xiang Pingfan sighed in his heart, understanding what he had told Wang Xiaoran before, but Wang Xiaoran didn't listen to a word.

Since Wang Xiaoran took the initiative to ask, Xiang Pingfan had no reason to refuse, so he could only roughly tell Wang Xiaoran what he wanted to know.

Among the disciples who have been in the field for less than three years, a Tianjiao list will be released every year, and this Tianjiao list has only ten seats, representing the strongest combat power of these three batches of disciples who have been in the field for less than three years.

Wang Xiaoran: The people who occupy the Tianjiao list this time are all old disciples who have been in the beginner for three years.

Leng Xi, the first on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Shenwu, and the middle stage of Huadan.

Xiang Feiyun, the second on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Shenwu, and the middle stage of Huadan.

Lu Yuyu, the third on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Xianwu, and the middle stage of Huadan.

Wang Qi, the fourth on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Shenwu, and the early stage of Huadan.

Gu Changfeng, fifth on the Tianjiao list, Xianwu initiate, early stage of Huadan.

Liang Ji, the sixth on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Xianwu, and the early stage of Huadan.

Ouyang Zi, seventh on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Shenwu, in the early stage of Huadan.

Li Yuan, eighth on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Shenwu, and the early stage of Huadan.

Yang Yan, the ninth on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Xianwu, and the early stage of Huadan.

Zhou Sikai, tenth on the Tianjiao list, a fellow practitioner of Shenwu, and the early stage of Huadan.

The Tianjiao on the top ten Tianjiao lists almost includes all the disciples who have broken through to the Huadan realm among the three batches of disciples who have been in the beginner for less than three years.

Of course, there are still some disciples who have broken through to the Huadan realm, but their strength is not as strong as these ten people, so they are not on the Tianjiao list.

According to Xiang Pingfandao, since those disciples who have been in the beginners for two years have not yet broken through to the realm of Huadan, they basically missed the top ten in this competition, so after a discussion with several leading genius disciples who have been in the beginners for two years, they decided to give up participating in this competition.

Wang Xiaoran was a little glad in his heart, if those genius disciples who had been in the industry for two years also joined this big competition, it was still unknown whether Wang Xiaoran could pass the first assessment.

"Team leader, why are these ten Tianjiao all two kinds of exercises practitioners? Aren't there three or even four kinds of exercises together?" Wang Xiaoran was a little puzzled, these ten Tianjiao were all two kinds of exercises and practitioners, but there was not a single person who practiced the three exercises together.

"Hehe, how can it be so easy to practice the three exercises together, looking at the entire cultivation world, I can't find anyone who can do the three exercises together, after all, the fusion of the soul and the yuan force is too difficult, the fusion of one yuan force is very simple, the fusion of the two yuan forces will divide the soul into two, and it is also an equal and independent two souls, without strong willpower, and enough soul elixir support, don't even think about it, let alone divide the soul into three. Xiang Pingfan didn't know that Wang Xiaoran was a fourth-line initiate, thinking that Wang Xiaoran was more interested in things related to the third-line and fourth-line initiates.

"It seems that after so many years of relaxation and development, the cultivation world has not made much progress in this aspect of multi-line initiation. Wang Xiaoran said secretly in his heart.

Wang Xiaoran also found one of the more strange points, that is, these dual-line initiates all choose Shenyuan and Zhenyuan or Xianyuan and Zhenyuan initiates, no one is a person who is a practitioner of the inner world and Zhenyuan, why no one cultivates the inner world, Wang Xiaoran can only investigate slowly in the future.

"Team leader, do you know what housekeeping methods and hole cards these ten Tianjiao have?" The realm of the top ten Tianjiao is all in the realm of Huadan, three realms higher than Wang Xiaoran, if Wang Xiaoran does not understand all aspects of these ten Tianjiao, there is no hope of victory at all.

"Hehe, I usually stay in the secular world, rarely walk around in the cultivation world, and I don't know very much about their housekeeping methods and hole cards, so it's better not to say it. Xiang Pingfan said with a smile.

Xiang Pingfan's words are true or false, if you want to say that other Tianjiao Xiang Pingfan may really not understand, but that Xiang Feiyun, Wang Xiaoran can be sure that Xiang Pingfan must understand.

Just now, Xiang Pingfan was talking about the top ten Tianjiao, and when he talked about Xiang Feiyun, Xiang Pingfan's face showed a look of pride and pride, which was completely different from the expression of introducing other Tianjiao.

This shows that there must be a relatively close relationship between Xiang Feiyun and Xiang Pingfan, and it is possible that this Xiang Feiyun is Xiang Pingfan's junior, after all, Xiang Pingfan's age is not young.

It's just that Xiang Pingfan doesn't want to talk about it, and Wang Xiaoran can't force it, after all, the relationship between Wang Xiaoran and Xiang Pingfan is just a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the relationship between Xiang Pingfan and Xiang Feiyun is inseparable, and Xiang Pingfan can't expect Wang Xiaoran to be better than Xiang Feiyun.

"It seems that I have to make more preparations tonight, I hope that the secret methods taught to me by the Pangu God are really as Pangu God said, otherwise I will die tomorrow." "The strength of the ten Tianjiao has all reached the realm of Huadan, Wang Xiaoran will not have the expectation of meeting an opponent with a similar realm to himself tomorrow, so he can only prepare for the idea of a disciple of the realm of Huadan.

"Don't bother me, I'm still the same sentence, admit defeat in the first game of tomorrow's competition, this is the best and wisest choice, otherwise you will be burned. Before the two of them entered their respective cultivation states, Xiang Pingfan told Wang Xiaoran again.

"Well, I remember the teachings of the group leader. Wang Xiaoran didn't want Xiang Pingfan to worry too much about himself, so he agreed verbally.

As for whether Wang Xiaoran will really do this, only Wang Xiaoran himself knows.
