Chapter 82
These five jade slips are the five foundation building classics that I asked Li Yiyang to collect in Fang City last time I came, one for each of the five elements, which is exactly the genus of my five elements. I have the Dao Yuan Sutra in my hand, so naturally I won't practice it deeply, but I can use it as a cover-up.
Although this kind of classic book is not a Xuangong Dafa, it is also extremely rare in the cultivation world. The disciples of the big sect have the true transmission of Xuangong, but they don't know how to do it. However, the huge scattered cultivators are eager to pursue it, and would rather go bankrupt than seek it.
These five classics have not yet been able to enter Li Yiyang's eyes, but it still took a huge amount of Yuan Jing to buy them. Even if I am a VIP of Wushanfang City, the discount is huge, but the Yuan Crystal sold by the talisman last time was also a fine flower.
I thanked Li Yiyang again, and seeing that he was still consolidating and building the foundation, I didn't bother anymore, and left after the fact.
I didn't rush back to the cave mansion, but went straight to visit my senior brother An Chan.
When he arrived at the "Scorching Fire Peak" where An Cicada was, he raised his hand and sent out a transmission note. After a while, I saw a fiery red light coming in the blink of an eye, and the light disappeared, revealing an old man in red clothes and white eyebrows.
I saluted respectfully and said, "Mo Fan greets Senior Brother!"
An Chan gave a smile and said, "Little junior brother, don't be formal, I've been looking forward to you for a long time." I also think that if you don't go out again, I'm afraid I'm going to break into your Fanyin Pavilion. ”
I looked puzzled, and was about to ask the reason, when An Chan was suddenly taken aback, pointed at me and said, "Senior brother, you... You... Are you in the middle of the foundation?"
I scratched my scalp and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "The one who broke through by luck a month ago is still far from my senior brother and sister." ”
An Cicada couldn't close her mouth in shock, and said for a while: "If I remember correctly, you broke through the foundation building realm in the Spirit Beast Garden, and it has only been a few months before you broke the mirror again." With your Five Spirit Root qualifications, it is simply appalling that you have such a cultivation speed. ”
I feel bitter in my heart, it seems that this is really difficult to explain, but the "Daoyuan Sutra" must not be made public. In the end, I had no choice but to ask questions and not know, and it was inexplicable to pretend to be my own family.
Fortunately, An Chan didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, he was shocked, admired, and finally said: "I still have doubts, since the junior brother has made another breakthrough, it can't be said that it should be the junior brother's fate." After that, he didn't explain, and pulled me straight to his cave.
Entering the cave, the guest and the host sat down, and their own maidservants came to offer fragrant tea and spiritual fruits. The maid is first-class, and An Chan was supposed to settle for me, but I politely refused. I am indifferent by nature, I don't like servants to serve, and I have many secrets on my body, and I have to guard against anyone to find out.
While tasting tea, An Cicada continued what he had just said.
An Chan said: "It's been nearly two years since my junior brother got started, I don't know how much I know about the "Five Peaks Competition"?"
I suddenly realized in my heart, it turned out that An Cicada was looking for me for the matter of the Five Peaks Competition, but I really didn't know much about it, so I could take this opportunity to ask An Cicada for advice.
At that moment, he said: "Senior brother is ashamed, I only know that this is a grand event for me to arrange seats among the five peaks, and the rest is really known to chat, and I am about to ask my senior brother for advice." ”
An Chan smiled and asked: "Did the junior brother receive the invitation to the "Heroes Banquet", this "Heroes Banquet" was hosted by Jin Ruifeng, I don't know which true legend of Jin Ruifeng?"
"Senior Brother expected it to be good, and it was Senior Brother Jin Ruifeng Xue Youjie who sent an invitation to him. I replied calmly.
"Oh, is it? No wonder, the Xue family has always had a lot of authority in Jin Ruifeng, and it is appropriate for the Xue family to host it. An Cicada showed that it was indeed so.
After taking a sip of fragrant tea, An Chan continued to speak, this time telling the origin of the "Five Peaks Competition" as it is. I also finally understood why each peak attached so much importance to the five peaks.
If you want to say that the Five Mountains Temple, it was originally a loose cultivation organization, but its history is very long, dating back to tens of millions of years ago. At that time, the spiritual power of the Northern Star was about to run out, and the ancient factions successively migrated to the alien planet to find another place to establish a faction.
But there are always some people who are nostalgic for their homeland and feel that there is no hope of enlightenment, so they stay in the North Star for the rest of their lives. These people left the sect, but in their homeland they were reduced to scattered cultivation, and they were the initiators of the original Five Mountains Temple.
Later, in order to exchange their needs, these people built a fang market, which is the predecessor of "Wushanfang City".
Because the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Northern Star were basically exploited by the major ancient sects, they were no longer suitable for the cultivation of powerful cultivators. However, because the spiritual veins near Fang City were not outstanding, they were preserved, and at that time, they became a rare place full of vitality in the Northern Star.
Therefore, these scattered cultivators chose the nearest place of Lingxiu and took root in this place according to the attributes of the vitality. The scope of the Five Mountains View Sect, of course, is not only the five main peaks, in fact, there are countless spiritual veins of various systems large and small, and the five main peaks are just more concentrated and rich in spiritual veins.
With the spread of the fame of Fang City, this beautiful place finally became a paradise in the cultivation world at that time. More and more casual cultivators are converging here, and even if there are many spiritual veins, they are not as great as people's desires and ambitions. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are battles.
In order to occupy more places of spiritual beauty and obtain more cultivation resources, these scattered cultivators actually used the Five Elements Exercises as a link and spontaneously united together, forming the original Five Peaks Rank. The five peaks are all leaders of the upper realm powers, and they have gathered many middle and low realm monks, as if they have become five sects.
The perennial fighting between the five peaks has lasted for countless years, and countless elite monks have fallen. This place is no longer a paradise in the cultivation world, but a battlefield of disorderly killing and aggression.
Finally, one day, someone got tired of it. A relatively respectable and powerful predecessor came out to stop the fighting and looting, and proposed to establish rules and regulations. Thus, the Five Mountains View was born.
In order to balance the distribution of resources, Daneng proposed the "Five Peaks Ratio" and allocated resources in a ranking manner. The initial limit for participation was that each peak would be filled with ten people, and the number of winners would be ranked again, and it would be rearranged every 100 years.
But with the drastic changes in the Ten Thousand Worlds Void, all the powers have soared, and the original rules have long since changed. Nowadays, there are still ten people from each peak, and the peak can be recommended and compared, regardless of formality, as long as the number of people is met. The time limit has also been changed to be scheduled every 50 years.
However, the Jindan and above monks have great fighting power, and a mistake may cause heavy losses, so all peaks have tacitly agreed to limit the cultivation of the disciples who participated in the Great Competition to the foundation building period. In this way, the potential of the low-level disciples of each peak can be revealed, and secondly, if there is an accident, the powerful cultivator can also deal with it in time, so as not to cause evil consequences.
Later, each peak tacitly sent characters such as the True Disciples of the Five Peaks. After all, relatively speaking, true disciples have more advantages than ordinary inner disciples in terms of cultivation and exercises, and they can compete for the ideal ranking within the peak.
And the current ranking has not only affected the distribution of spiritual vein resources, but even includes the distribution of the income of the sect industry in Wushanfang City, as well as the distribution of a large number of cultivation resources obtained by the mortal world. It can be said that with the increase of resources, today's "Five Peaks Competition" is more fierce than the original competition.
As for the allocation of resources, Zu Feng does not participate in the competition, but because of his special status, he can still monopolize thirty percent of the resources. The first place in the five peaks can also monopolize three percent of the resources, while the second place can account for two percent, and the third place can only account for one. The most pitiful ones are the fourth and fifth, and they can only take half of the resources each.
Cultivation resources are closely related to the development potential of the disciples of each peak, so in each big competition, each peak will send the most powerful foundation building disciples in order to seek a good ranking.
I was silent when I heard it, it seems that the truth that people die for wealth and birds die for food is also very applicable to the cultivation world.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior brother, I don't know what the previous ranking of my Tianhuo Peak was?"
An Cicada showed a ray of loneliness, sighed for a long time, and then said: "In the Five Peaks Competition, nine out of ten times Jin Ruifeng won the championship, followed by Mu Ling Peak. The other three peaks of ours have to compete for this third seat. ”
"The best result of our Tianhuo Peak in the past thousand years is that we won the second place when the master built the foundation. The senior brother is not talented, and he also participated in the big competition that year, but he only won the third place. And in the past two big competitions, my Tianhuo Peak has not achieved the top three twice, and Shui Miao Peak is ranked last. ”
"It's so bad!" I sighed.
An Chan smiled bitterly and said, "It's no wonder that the golden system is sharp, and it is already the head of the five systems. In addition, he has waited for a lot of resources, and his deeds have been even more diligent. Especially whenever the sect enrolls in the ceremony, the good seedlings are almost all snatched away by Zu Feng and Jin Ruifeng, and what is left for the rest of the peaks is mediocre. Over time, the stronger the stronger. Mu Lingfeng's exercises are long, and he has to be helped by the master, and this time the famous chair is also sitting very steadily. ”
"The other three systems, the Tuyuan Peak Technique is heavy, but my Tianhuo Peak is on the mediocre side, and the way of the Shui Miao Peak Formation is exquisite, but the single fighting method is not good at it. Therefore, this third seat is often replaced. ”
Then An Chan looked straight at me and said solemnly: "Therefore, in this third battle, in fact, I have a chance in the three peaks, and the key depends on the person." ”
"What do you mean, senior brother?" I wondered.
An Chan Huer got up, faced the direction of the Golden Flame Palace, and said: "Before the retreat, the master summoned me over, saying that it is not easy to inherit the heavenly fire, and it is even more difficult to get in charge of the master, all because of the lack of external objects. The master instructed me to try my best to seek the third seat in this five-peak competition. But seeing that Dabi is imminent, I haven't even completed the Dabi disciples. ”
I wondered: "My Tianhuo Peak is also full of talents, and there are not a few Jindan and Yuanying monks, can't even find ten foundation building elites?"
An Chan waved his hand and said: "Senior brother doesn't know, cultivation is cultivation, and Taoism is Taoism." There are hundreds of monks in my Heavenly Fire Peak, and there are dozens of monks in the later stage. But these are all people who smash iron and blow furnaces, and they can have the water mill kung fu that they rely on to cultivate now, and they really want to fight with others, but they are afraid that they will not be able to persist for a round. ”
"Huh?" I couldn't believe it.
"Originally, your senior sister Lotus was my leader in heaven and fire, whether it was cultivation or Taoism, but I didn't expect that she would have condensed the golden pill when the dragon and tiger met a few years ago. Hehe, is it really providence, God doesn't bless me with heavenly fire?" An Chan said in a gloomy voice.
"There should be a lot of true legends in my peak, most of them are cultivators, how can I not choose the number of palms?"
"I can't say it, I can only make up the numbers with them. It's just that in this way, I am ashamed of the trust of the master!"
"Why is my brother so sorrowful?" I was puzzled.
An Chan smiled bitterly and explained: "Jin Ruifeng and Mu Lingfeng are rich in resources, and their disciples are also outstanding, not to mention him. In recent years, there has been a disciple of the Earth Plains Peak who was born with a "thick earth body", and his defensive skills can be called invincible, even if he consumes the rest of the disciples, he can consume the rest of the disciples to death. Shui Miao Peak has produced a formation genius, and the formation cultivation has reached the realm of the Void Imperial Array, and the basic spells are also proficient. Compared to that, I have no chance of winning!"
I have been cultivating since I started, and I have rarely inquired about the situation of the disciples of each peak, and I really don't know which Lingxiu disciples are in each peak. Listening to An Chan's words, I knew that the world is big and there are many talents.
Seeing that I bowed my head and was speechless, An Cicada seemed to be mistaken, and suddenly said: "Senior brother, the master once said that the spirit beast park is extremely dangerous, but the junior brother can turn the danger into a disaster and successfully complete the task, which shows that Taoism and wisdom are the best choices, so I recommend you to participate in the big competition." At the beginning, I was worried that my junior brother's cultivation was still low, but now it seems that it is the master's discernment and discernment. ”
I was startled and hurriedly said, "What... What, the senior brother wants me to participate in the big competition? How does this make the junior brother's cultivation inferior, wouldn't it be a mistake to go?"
As if expected, An Cicada reached out and pressed down to let me calm down. Then he said: "Senior brother, cultivation is not just done behind closed doors, but also with peers in order to reach a higher level." You can rest assured, now it is different from the past, and when the Elder Guild of the Great Ancestor Peak came to the venue, it would not cause a disciple to worry about his life. ”
"Besides, this big competition, senior brother, I don't want to be ranked. But if the junior brother is lucky enough to win the third seat, the peak will not hesitate to reward him. Yuan crystals, exercises, ritual instruments, etc., should be taken and demanded. If you can get the first place by luck, you will not only be rewarded in the peak, but you can also go straight to the ancestral peak and enjoy the same treatment as the true legend of the ancestral peak. ”
I was taken aback, and I still remember that Shan Tianxin said that if you want to enjoy the same treatment as the true inheritance of the ancestral peak, you must either make immortal achievements or cultivate to the realm of the Yuan Infant. Then it seems that this achievement in the first place in the Five Peaks Competition can be regarded as an immortal achievement?
I stammered: "Enjoy the same treatment as the true inheritance of Zufeng, so can the "Dao Jing Pavilion" also be watched at will?"
"That's nature!" said Ancida.
"In this case, the little brother is willing to go!"
