Volume 5: The First Song 378: One Hundred Years of Acceptance (I)
With the rare spirit grass and vine flower as the main material, you can refine an elixir called "Mu Qing Dan", this kind of elixir is not of great use to the daily practice of the monk, but its medicinal effect can make the monk who is in the fourth layer of refining qi and has not been able to break through for a long time to break free from the shackles of the "Little Five Passes" as soon as possible, so many disciples who are trapped in the Little Five Passes in the sect are eager to get this elixir, but because the spirit grass of the Roll Vine Flower is also used to refine the Zhuji Dan, there are very few people who are really willing to refine the Mu Qing Dan with the Roll Vine Flower.
Before the five of Qian Chao broke through the small five levels, because they didn't have many vine flowers in their hands, they wanted to save them for refining the Zhuji Dan in the future, so they didn't refine Mu Qingdan, and after they broke through the small five levels, this Mu Qing Dan had no effect on them, so they didn't refine it, but recently Qian Chao found Yan Xuan and asked her to refine a few.
Now the vine flowers are not uncommon for the five people of Qian Chao, in the cave under Qian Chao's residence, as long as there are spirit stones, there can be continuous output of vine flowers, so Yan Xuan agreed, and within a few days, he sent the refined Mu Qingdan to Qian Chao.
After sending Yan Xuan away, Qian Chao took Mu Qingdan to Bibo Lake in Shuiyun Valley, of course, these Mu Qingdan were not for him to use, but to give them to Shen Wei, who was trapped in Xiaowuguan, to deal with the Qin family, Shen Weili was more urgent than the five of them, if he couldn't break through, then the pressure to deal with the Qin family in the future would be completely borne by Qian Chao and Tang Ping.
Qian Chao flew all the way, and in the place where the Qi refining disciples of Bibo Lake lived, he actually saw a somewhat familiar figure entering Shen Wei's residence in front of him.
Qian Chao concluded that the woman must be one of the Wu sisters who had just met on the Chengguan En test a while ago, but looking at the back, he couldn't tell whether it was Wu Ruishan or Wu Ruiyuan.
When he was hesitating whether to come back another day, Qian Chao found that the woman had come out of Shen Wei's residence again, and according to the time she had been inside, she couldn't talk a few words, why did she have to leave early? At this time, he could see the face, and Qian Chao also recognized that the woman was Wu Ruiyuan, the sister of the Wu sisters, and the woman was very reluctant after she walked out, with a lonely and melancholy face, she kept looking back when she got up and flew away, and finally flew away.
This is...... Didn't talk about it or didn't talk about it?
As early as when they were in Youming Valley, the Wu sisters were very close to Shen Wei, and they saw the three of them together during the day, but later Qian Chao found out that the sisters cooperated with Qin Suiyi, because they had to deal with Qin Suiyu, and at the same time, Qian Chao had to use Shen Wei's hand, so this matter was informed to Shen Wei, and it was because of this that Shen Wei broke off his friendship with these two women, today this Wu Ruiyuan actually came to Shen Wei but left without talking a few words, is it that this woman can't let go of the old love with Shen Wei and Shen Wei can't forget the betrayal of these two daughters?
Qian Chao knocked on the door of Shen Wei's courtyard, and a somewhat impatient voice came from inside:
"I've said it all, don't come back in the future."
It was Shen Wei's voice, although he said this, the door still opened, and when Shen Weili looked at the Qian Chao with a strange face in front of the door, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said:
"Eh, I didn't expect it to be Brother Qian, please come in."
Money tide says:
"Brother Shen, I saw that Miss Wu, why did you drive her away early?"
Let Qian Chao into the room, and after pouring tea, Shen Wei said with a wry smile:
"The past is unbearable, Brother Qian, I am not broad-minded, and I can't forget what happened in the past, so ...... What's more, she has a good future now, not only has she broken through the small five levels, but she has also performed well in the Chengguan Grace Test, it is said that in a few days, there will be an Elder Jiedan in your Jiuxuan who will accept her as a disciple, and she will definitely have her status in the Five Spirits Sect in the future. I'm different, not only did I not pass the five levels, but I will ...... in the future I am destined to fight to the end with the Qin family, who knows what will happen in the end, so more is better than less. ”
Qian Chao took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Brother Shen does this somewhat I don't agree with it, well, although I don't know what is going on between you and the Wu sisters, but in my opinion, the two sisters are different, this Wu Ruiyuan girl's temperament is weak, and her sister is even stronger, they did have dealings with Qin Suiyu in Youming Valley at the beginning, that is Qin Suixu who they were worried about if they couldn't pass the opening ceremony, but what they wanted was not you, and they didn't have the intention of harming you at all, I don't think Brother Shen always cares about this. And I don't think that Wu Ruiyuan will be the one among their sisters who has the idea to cooperate with Qin Suiyu, she should have listened to her sister in everything before, well, of course, Brother Shen knows the two of them best, and knows more than me. Since we entered the Five Spirits Sect and really started to practice, the two sisters have separated, Wu Ruishan is in the Imperial Spirit Sect, Wu Ruiyuan is in our Jiuxuan, Chengguan Entry I have seen the two of them shoot, and then I inquired, these two sisters have never been together since they entered different sects, let alone go out to do things for the Worship Academy, almost like strangers, maybe it is because of you that the two sisters have such a change, Brother Shen might as well talk to this Wu girl again, so as not to regret it in the future. ”
Shen Weili looked at Qian Chao a little strangely after hearing this, and said:
"Brother Qian, when did you start to the hearts of these three aunts and six women, and I won't hide it from you, both sisters have come to me, Wu Ruishan has come once, Wu Ruiyuan has come over every once in a while, Brother Qian, of course I know what you just said, but I don't even know when to break through the small five levels, why bother to trouble myself, not to mention that it will also drag her down."
Qian Chao smiled, it was not false for Shen Wei to say just now that he was not a broad-minded person, he was now still angry about the Wu sisters because of their past affair with Qin Suiyu, and secondly, the two sisters had broken through the small five levels, especially the younger sister Wu Ruiyuan's good performance in the ring of the Chengguan Ensian test made him ashamed of himself, so he was reluctant to contact the sisters again.
"Brother Shen, I came today to find you something, and in the future, I can't deal with the Qin family without Brother Shen, Tang Ping came to Brother Shen a while ago, I might as well tell you that Uncle Tang's predecessors have already agreed, as long as Brother Shen's cultivation breaks through the small five levels, Senior Tang will find a good teacher for you......"
"Alas, I expected it, a few people treated me well, I am very grateful, but it's a pity that this little five levels, hum, it's really hard!"
"Brother Shen, please take a look." Qian Chao said and put a small crystal bottle on the table, which contained more than a dozen small black and purple pills.
"What is this?"
"Mu Qingdan, Brother Shen must have heard of it, this is what I asked Sister Yan to refine specifically for Brother Shen, the materials are not easy to come by, taking this pill is useful for Brother Shen to break through the bottleneck of the Little Five Levels......"
Now Shen Weili became excited, he stared at the small bottle on the table for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Qian Chao, suddenly got up and saluted respectfully, and said:
"Thank you, Brother Qian, keep in mind the kindness of the five of you!"
……
The Chengguan Grace test is over, and the matter of dealing with Jing Ji, Jin Zhang and Tian Du has also come to an end, and then there is only one lively thing left for the five people of Qian Chao in a short period of time, that is, a hundred years of dedication.
It is rumored that a hundred years of worship is a kind of ancient ceremony, and there was it after the millennium war, when there were five major sects in the world, which were the remaining five sects in the world except for the Five Spirit Sects.
The strength of the major sects is inevitably different from each other, even if there are only two of them, there will be strong and weak, and the five major sects coexisted in the world at that time, among which there will be the strongest ones, and there will definitely be those who are not convinced. In the cultivation world, although there are rules to follow within each sect or family, but on the whole, the entire cultivation world can still be regarded as a wild land to win by strength, the most powerful sect relies on its own strength to those who are weaker than their own sects to give demand, once made those weak sects miserable, for a long time, in the case of one side not restraining and the other side is becoming more and more dissatisfied, there will inevitably be disputes erupting, in the past five major sects in the Middle Continent era staged I don't know how many times to merge vertically and horizontally, The drama of conquest and killing, I don't know how many times it has reshaped the strength map of Middle-earth.
Now it is impossible to find out which war it is, the strength ranking between the five major sects has changed again, but this time the final winning sect no longer let the failed sect offer spirit stone treasures as compensation as before, this time they are asking for disciples, it must be those disciples with outstanding spiritual root qualifications, and this kind of thing is not just a one-time end, and it will come again every hundred years after that, this is the prototype of the beginning of the centennial dedication.
In the cultivation world, for a sect, what kind of treasure is not as precious as a promising disciple with good qualifications, because these people are likely to grow into pillars of talent in the future, such a request is naturally reluctant for the failed sect, but it has already been defeated, and if you don't agree, there is a danger of being wiped out, so you have to agree, but this will also lay the root of the later disputes.
This kind of situation where the five major sects would have to fight once every few years and then the winner asked the loser for a disciple was retained, and it was not until the later "Battle across the Sea" that this situation changed.
The battle across the sea completely changed the pattern of the entire Central Continent, and the Five Spirits Sect was founded in this war, and after the war across the sea, the Central Continent changed from only five major sects to six sects in the world today. For a long period of time, the original five major sects have joined forces to jointly attack the Five Spirits Sect, intending to destroy it and restore the previous strength pattern of the Central Continent, and the cultivation world of the Central Continent has changed from the melee of the original five sects to the "Five Sects Fighting Spirits", and they are in alliance with each other to deal with the relationship between the Five Spirits Sect, so it is rare for the powerful sects to let the weak sects contribute disciples.
But it turns out that the Five Spirits Sect can even defeat the exotic monks who come across the sea, and it is really not something that the other five sects can deal with together, no matter how the five major sects were at the beginning, and the good news was frequent, and no matter how badly the Five Spirits Sect began to lose and retreat, it was the coalition of the five major sects that finally returned, and I don't know how many times after the failure of the joint crusade against the Five Spirits Sect, the five major sects finally realized that they had to accept the fact that the Five Spirits Sect existed, so the "Five Sects Fighting Spirits" thing stopped.
Without the war, the relationship between the remaining five major sects is no longer an alliance, and there are still different strengths between them, strong and weak, so ...... Will you fight or not fight in the future?
Fighting, there will inevitably be mutual damage, the Five Spirits Sect has always been in the south of the Central Continent, if the remaining five sects are in a mess, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Five Spirits Sect, so the strongest of the five sects is always hesitating;
If you don't fight, although there has been an alliance between the five sects, there are more contradictions and discord between each other, and they are still accumulating, and to a certain extent, they can't be solved without fighting.
In the end, at that time, the strength was at the bottom, that is, the weakest Mu Yangzong came up with a way to protect himself, Mu Yangzong took the initiative to pick some eye-catching gentlemen in the sect and sent them to the most powerful lion forest at that time, saying that he was willing to serve the lion forest as the head of the world's sect and only the head of the horse, and sent the blood relatives and nephews of several elders in his sect to compete with the disciples of the lion forest, if the disciples of Mu Yangzong were lucky to win, they would return afterwards, and if they were defeated, they would stay in the lion forest to practice, In fact, it is used as a hostage, so that it can not only express Mu Yangzong's intention of subduing, but also not hurt his face too much, after all, those disciples who stayed were forced to stay because they failed, and said that every hundred years, they would send disciples to concoct Yunyun in the same way.
Mu Yangzong did this only to protect himself in a possible big war, after all, he had already expressed his obedience to the most powerful sect, at least in a few sects really fought, the most powerful lion forest at that time would not attack Mu Yangzong, but Mu Yangzong's actions caused a series of effects, following Mu Yangzong, the strength of the penultimate Motianya also expressed its submission to the most powerful lion forest at that time, and it continued like this, At that time, Meng Cailou, whose strength was only under the Lion Forest, had to put away all his plans when he could not deal with the Lion Forest independently, and also sent a disciple of his own sect with an unusual identity to the Lion Forest.
Since then, this method has been retained by these five major sects, and it is the gentlemen who are sent out, not the elite disciples in their own sects, and they are not distressed, this is one of them; The second is that these gentlemen and elders are all important people with status and status in their original sects, and the descendants of these people are held in their own sects, and if they have any plans, they will inevitably be afraid of this.
The Lion Forest calmly accepted those sent to the door, and stipulated that it should be carried out once every hundred years, and this is the beginning of the current hundred years of dedication.
Maybe no one thought that it would be the most powerful Mu Yang Sect that bowed down to the big sect at the beginning, but in fact, in the past long years, with the growth of strength, the five major sects were all once strong, and the other four sects were oppressed, and they all accepted the hundred years of the remaining four sects with peace of mind, and of course, they all obediently sent their own sects to others thousands of miles away.
The Five Spirits Sect was the only exception, and in the past years, those five sects had not been accepted to the Five Spirits Sect no matter what.
Now I don't know how many times the strength of the Mu Yang Sect has reached its peak, the current Mu Yang Sect is more powerful and greedy than any previous great sect in its heyday, they seem to be like a giant beast that can never eat enough to keep eating the other four sects, the first one that can't bear it is the Nine Immortals. Later, Mu Yangzong provoked the relationship between the Sky Cliff and the Nine Eternal Plains, provoked a war between the two sects, and prepared to completely swallow it in one fell swoop while the Nine Eternal Plains were weak.
In the end, Jiu Gen Yuan reached an alliance with the Five Spirits Sect in order to protect himself, and he preserved himself under the strong intervention of the Five Spirits Sect. But then no one expected that Mu Yangzong's eyes were on the Sky Cliff that had been greatly damaged because of the battle with the Nine Immortals, this move made the other four sects vigilant, who knows which day Mu Yangzong will hit his head with the idea, and the amazing strength of the Five Spirits Sect in the matter of preserving the Nine Immortals, so there is a time when the four sects also sent people to the Five Spirits Sect to do a hundred years of dedication, among which the Nine Immortals were very simple, ignoring Mu Yangzong and directly sending his disciples to the Five Spirits Sect to practice, Although the other three sects rode the wall, they all used the Five Spirits Sect to contain the Muyang Sect.
This is also why after Jin Zhang's misdeeds in the Five Spirits Sect were exposed, the high-level leaders of the Lion Forest were furious and almost had to let the Five Spirits Sect deal with him.
The Five Spirits Sect is the first time to carry out this hundred years of dedication, in fact, the liveliness of this hundred years of acceptance is far less than the Chengguan Grace Test just past, and immediately after the Chengguan Grace Test, there was a major event involving the Tian family, the sect and the Lion Forest, so this Centennial Acceptance was postponed, and now everything is handled properly, naturally this Hundred Years of Acceptance has been put on the agenda.
And just a few days before the centennial acceptance was to be carried out, Tang Ping found his sixth grandfather at night.
"Sixth Grandpa, would you like to ask us a favor?"
Hearing this, Tang Bonian asked with some vigilance:
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Isn't it going to be a hundred years of acceptance, I heard that the stay of those people depends on the competition, so a few of us also want to go to the competition, can you arrange it for us."
Tang Bonian looked at Tang Ping a little strangely and asked:
"What's your idea?"
"It's nothing, I just want to compete with that Jin Zhang from the Lion Forest in the ring."
"Hmph, compare one by one, isn't it revenge? No, what if you kill him in the ring, the sect has already negotiated with the Lion Forest, and promised to let this kid go, and he can't make any extraneous branches. ”
Tang Ping was immediately unconvinced and said:
"That's right, we just want to take revenge, although Jing Jian was abolished and cultivated this time, he will definitely live a very nourishing life for the rest of his life. Although Tian Du was imprisoned, he was the safest, and we never saw or touched him. There is only one Jin Zhang left, and I want you to let it go. We paid a lot of price that night, Boy Qian was seriously injured, Brother Li was seriously injured, and Brother Lu was also injured a lot, all of them let you either release or protect them, and you all got the benefits, why don't you let us get out of the evil anger in our hearts! ”
"Alas, girl, have you gained less this time? Besides, the sect has given you a lot of rewards this time, which is to compensate you, why are you still not satisfied. Well, a hundred years of acceptance, this is the first time in the sect, those who stay and those who are going to leave have been agreed, and when the time comes, who will compete on the stage has also been booked, and then change, this is not in accordance with the rules! ”
"Hmph, I broke into someone else's cave at night and demolished the house, why didn't you know the rules at that time, but now I have been taught a lesson......"
"You ......," said Tom Bonian angrily, "you little brute! The old man didn't do that for you, why did he still use this to arrange me! ”
"That's right, Sixth Grandpa, I know that you are for me, so you just break the rules for me again, go and arrange it for us, you should always let me vent the anger in my heart, otherwise how uncomfortable it will be, where else can I find him when that kid leaves?"
In the end, under Tang Ping's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Tang Bonian said helplessly:
"Okay, okay, I'll try ......"
"Great, Sixth Grandpa, there are three of us who want to do something with him, the first is me, the second is Qian Boy, and the third is Lu Pingchuan, don't make a mistake about this order."
"Why are there three again? Forget it, girl, you have to promise me one thing, Jin Zhang must live after the competition, understand? ”
"Understood, understood!"
