The current head of the Shangsun family, Shangsun Yao, is a gray-haired old man who has no need to be energetic, and at this time he is sitting in the spectator facing south, and there is a man in a strong suit about thirty years old standing on the side, who is his eldest apprentice Wei Kang.

"Master, the junior brother who was guarding the door just now came to report that he had met Mr. Daguan's invitation."

"What?"

Shangsun was startled and was about to stand up, but Wei Kang immediately whispered: "When Mr. Daguan came over, he specially instructed the two junior disciples not to make a noise......

Shangsun sat back down and nodded knowingly.

"Mr. Daguan has traveled all over the world, and his whereabouts are uncertain, so he must have come quietly this time, and he doesn't want to attract the attention of others......"

Shangsun Qian pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "You ask the juniors and disciples to be careful, don't neglect the distinguished guests." ”

Since Mr. Daguan is unwilling to publicize it, then they will naturally not have no eyesight to cause trouble to others. However, Mr. Taguan seldom showed up, and he did not know which of the guests who came to the conference was him......

The Shangsun family is not an uninformed small family, and it will naturally not be at a loss when encountering this situation, so it is only necessary to instruct the disciples to entertain carefully without any problems.

Soon the sun was rising overhead, and Yu Xia, who was sitting in the audience, felt more and more unbearable heat.

"Sixteen casters are invited to draw lots!"

Wei Kang stood on the platform, and next to him was a disciple of the Shangsun family who was also wearing a strong suit, holding a lottery holder in his hand.

Sixteen casters took the stage and drew lots in turn to determine the location of their furnaces.

Sixteen casting furnaces correspond to the sixteen numbers of "Qian, Li, Xun, Gen, Jie, Ren, Zi, Zhi, Kun, Kan, Zhen, Dui, Xing, Non-human Hexagram, He, and Qi".

"Do you know the origin of the numbers of these sixteen furnaces?" Chen Daoren pointed to the sixteen casting furnaces below.

Yu Xia had long been accustomed to Chen Daoren's behavior of testing himself from time to time, so he nodded immediately.

"This is the sixteen trigrams of Zhou Tian, there is a theory that the sixty-four changes of Fuxi gossip, in fact, should be sixteen trigrams, and now the gossip used by feng shui masters is actually the acquired gossip, the innate gossip has almost been lost, people only know its name but do not know its usage."

Chen Daoren nodded, "In fact, many Xuan masters don't even know much about the innate gossip, today's Senwu Continent is very different from thousands of years ago, and the lost gossip is beyond the scope of today's human calculations, even if you can, it is useless." ”

Saying that, Chen Daoren glanced at Yu Xia with satisfaction, "If you want to say that it is quite worry-free to accept you as an apprentice, at least I don't need to teach the basic classics, and even you may know more than me, and I can sometimes learn from you." ”

Yu Xia smiled, "Then Master, if you encounter something you don't understand, you have to be ashamed to ask." ”

The master and apprentice joked a few words, and the sixteen Xuan Masters at the bottom had already stood in front of the casting furnace that they had won by lot.

Yu Xia glanced at it and sighed lightly.

"Master, look there, there is a second-grade Xuan Master."

Chen Daoren glanced in the direction she was pointing and nodded slightly, "Because most of the caster's energy is on the caster, it's common for a caster to be a little sluggish in cultivation. ”

"No, Master, except for him, everyone else at the bottom is four grades, and those two are still five grades, I see that the two disciples who greeted guests in front of the Sun Family Temple are also five grades, which is completely opposite to what you said......

Yu Xia didn't agree with Chen Daoren's statement, at least what she saw in her eyes was that the cultivator of the caster was much higher than that of ordinary Xuan masters.

Chen Daoren snorted disdainfully, "Look there, the old man sitting at the front is the head of the Shangsun family, Shangsun Fu, a great weaponist. ”

Yu Xia looked in the direction of the highest south, and there was indeed an old man with gray hair in brocade clothes sitting there, Yu Xia briefly observed the fluctuations of the vitality around him, it should be the major cultivation of the Sixth Rank Dao.

"Six pins?"

Chen Daoren nodded, and glanced at her with appreciation, "You already have a glazed Dao heart, and you are more sensitive to all kinds of vitality between heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that now you can easily see through the level of a Xuan Master who has cultivated to a higher level than you." ”

Yu Xia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that her insight was indeed much stronger than at the beginning, but even so, she still couldn't see through Chen Daoren's cultivation, could it be ......

Yu Xia quietly looked at Chen Daoren for a moment, but heard Chen Daoren sneer.

"You can see through them, it's not all because of your good eyes, there is another point, their cultivation seems to be profound, but in fact they are vulnerable."

How so?

Yu Xia was about to be puzzled, so he listened to Chen Daoren explain to her: "Most of the Xuanshi seeking the Tao are mainly based on their own cultivation, and a few people can take care of others at the same time. can do it all well, just like the Ling Ruzi in the Qing Palace in the Nine Heavens, who is a rare character. Most Xuan Masters should be the same as that second-grade Xuan Master, if they want to forge their tools well, they will inevitably delay their cultivation. ”

"Other people's cultivation is high, and they all rely on the secret treasure of the pill to pile up."

Yu Xia suddenly realized.

No wonder she felt that although the cultivation of those casters was not low, the sense of oppression given to her was very small, if the casters could cast good magic weapons, the remuneration would not be low, since they had plenty of money, they naturally had the ability to prepare the elixir secret treasure for themselves to improve their cultivation.

"Aren't they worried about burying hidden dangers for their future practice?"

Yu Xia couldn't figure it out again.

Chen Daoren sighed, "You can't have both cultivation and casting, they choose to use the pill pile to cultivate, it's just to be able to cast better." They came to participate in this casting conference in order to further their progress in the path of casting, not to improve their cultivation. ”

This is tantamount to sacrificing the way to seek the Tao in the future.

"This is also the reason why there has not been a casting master for thousands of years."

After all, just relying on the accumulation of elixir secret treasures to cultivate is not the right way after all, and the elixir secret treasure will be used too much sooner or later, and sooner or later, there will be a day when it will not work.

"Then Master, since you have enough cultivation to be able to cast a good magic weapon, then that second-grade Xuan Master has an obvious disadvantage compared to these people of the fourth and fifth grades."

There are actually not many people in the field who have the same idea as Yu Xia.

There was already a discussion about it when the casters took the stage to draw lots.

"The second-grade Xuanshi also dares to compete on stage? Isn't this self-inflicted? ”

"Yes, although it is said that cultivation does not mean the level of casting, but if the cultivation is so low, the vitality that can be fused into the magic weapon will be much less."

"His invitations can't be stolen, right?"

……

The bearded scumbag who was standing in the "stop" position, and the second-grade Xuanshi, who was about thirty years old, was unaware of the discussions of others, but a young man in a long robe on the side of the audience clearly heard it.

"Don't be angry, don't get angry, don't talk about the short and long with different fools, come on, it's not too late."
