Chapter 33: The Annual Challenge

In the winter of Xuanwu 10007, on the eve of the Xuanwu Festival, in the territory of the Dayu Kingdom, the Xuanwu Gate of the peaks of Longhu Mountain ushered in the annual challenge. The challenge is divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and elite disciples, because of the different cultivation levels, the high-level ones cannot take the initiative to challenge the low-level disciples, for example: the elite disciples cannot challenge the inner disciples and the outer disciples.

Such a challenge is held once a year in the Xuanwu Sect, and the top ten in the challenge will be rewarded accordingly to encourage the disciples to cultivate.

Li Jun ran to Xiao Chu Hao's dormitory and asked with a smile: "Chu Hao, are you participating in the challenge this year? The rewards for the top three can be very tempting, this year's prizes have been announced, and the top ten disciples will be rewarded with a three-grade pill and a Xuan-level primary exercise." What a big ** is this? Don't you participate? But I've heard that the first prize will be a four-grade pill and a Xuanwu sword, such a reward is not much, if you don't participate, don't regret it?"

Li Jun, who was smiling, stood in front of Xiao Chuhao, wave after wave, encouraging Xiao Chuhao to participate in the competition, because after Li Jun became friends with Xiao Chuhao, he knew that Xiao Chuhao's cultivation was much higher than his own, and he was already a Xuan Ling cultivator, so he would ** Xiao Chuhao participate in the competition.

In Li Jun's heart, Xiao Chu Hao can't use the three-pin pill, Xiao Chuhao will definitely be his own after getting it, and it will be easy to use when he breaks through, Xiao Chuhao's cultivation is Xuanling, and the pill he needs is four-grade, and it is useless to eat the three-pin pill.

The pills on the Xuanwu Continent are divided into ten grades, one to eight are mortal, nine are holy pills, and ten are divine pills. But in the thousands of years on the Xuanwu Continent, there has been no pill above the holy grade, because the alchemist is a very rare profession, and the cultivation has to keep up, so the profession of the alchemist has become a treasure, and there is no saint-level alchemist on the continent at this time. Because a saint-level alchemist not only needs a holy prescription but also the strength of a Xuan Sheng, both of which are indispensable.

Xiao Chuhao looked at Li Jun's obscene appearance, laughed in his heart, and asked: "I said fat brother, you can participate if you want to, why do you have to pull me?" Li Jun looked at Xiao Chuhao's expression, stepped forward and said: "Isn't it a long time since my brother broke through, just waiting for that three-pin pill, but my brother's strength, you know, will definitely not be able to get the ranking, so the pill has nothing to do with me, so I came to beg you! How can I help! ”

Li Jun's ** did have an effect on Xiao Chu Hao, the four-grade pill is definitely a good thing, and there are also four-grade Xuanwu swords that can be obtained, Xiao Chuhao has not had a good sword so far, and the four-grade Xuanwu sword is also very powerful for Xiao Chu Hao.

The weapons on the Xuanwu Continent are also graded, which are similar to pills, and are divided into one to eight grades, holy products and divine weapons. However, holy and divine weapons are too rare, and even a four-grade sect in Xuanwu Sect does not have a single holy weapon, only an eight-grade weapon left by the ancestor of the founding sect.

The same alchemist and alchemist on the Xuanwu Continent are very rare, there will not be a single alchemist and a refiner among 100,000 people, and the rare Cheng dΓΉ has already surpassed the pill and the weapon itself.

Alchemists and refiners must be classified by grade, the level of medicine or instrument that can refine one to three grades is primary, the level that can refine four to six grades is intermediate, and the level of refining seven to eight grades is advanced, and then there are holy and divine alchemists and refiners, at this time on the Xuanwu Continent, the holy and divine refiners and refiners have become extinct, and I have never heard of anyone who has reached this level. Even the presidents of the Alchemist Guild and the Alchemist Guild were only high-level.

Xiao Chuhao sat on the bed, looked at Li Jun's anxious appearance, and asked, "Tell me about the people who participated in the competition this time?" ”

Hearing Xiao Chuhao ask himself, Li Jun seemed to have succeeded in his treacherous scheme, he smiled, stepped forward and said, "I knew that you kid would be tempted, you just fooled me, right?" Pretend to be indifferent, kid, you are so foolish as a brother, right?"

Li Jun said: "Brother, but there are indeed a few powerful ones this time, and their cultivation is similar to yours, because your cultivation has reached the top level of the inner disciples, and if you break through, you will enter the ranks of elite disciples." ”

"These people have Zhao Sihai Xuanling Third Order, Li Wei Xuanling Second Order, Feng Haiyang Xuanling Second Order, Sun Shizhong Xuanling Third Order, and Qian Shicheng Xuanling Second Stage, these people have been in the inner gate for three years, these five people are the top three popular people this time, so you must be careful, but it shouldn't be difficult with your ability!

Xiao Chu Hao frowned slightly, it is indeed not difficult for him to enter the top ten, but if he wants to win the first place, it is indeed a little difficult, he has been in the Xuanwu Gate for almost a year, and the level has only broken through three levels, and now he is Xuanling Intermediate, but this speed is too slow, if he continues like this, he will cultivate to the level of the Supreme and above, and it is estimated that he will be 100 years old! By then, it will be too late, let alone control his own destiny as a strong man!

Li Jun noticed Xiao Chuhao's expression, and wondered if Xiao Chuhao didn't want to participate in the competition, or if he had any doubts? Then he asked: "Brother, why don't you feel unhappy?

Xiao Chu Hao smiled bitterly and sighed: "Big brother, you can't solve this matter, I'm worried about my cultivation speed, I've only broken through two stages in more than a year, if it goes on like this, when will I become a strong person!"

Li Jun's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Brother, be content, how old are you! Now you are the primary level of Xuanling, look at me, I am almost fourteen years old, I am only the ninth order of Xuanjiang, are you still not satisfied?"

Xiao Chuhao looked at Li Jun and said: "Big brother, the two of us live in different environments, you won't starve if you don't cultivate, but I'm different, my family is poor, my father and sister are waiting for me to feed me, and the whole village has to rely on me, so I'm under too much pressure, unlike your carefree life, you can do whatever you want every day, I practice every day except for cultivation, and the only time I have is to chat and fart with you." ”

Of course, Li Jun knows Xiao Chuhao's difficulties, but there is not much he can help, so he can only wait to help this little brother in the future!

Xiao Chu Hao and Li Jun walked towards the place where they registered, the place where they signed up was the inner hall, the inner hall was dedicated to managing the inner door disciples, the inner hall was managed by the eight elders of the inner gate, the eight elders were Wu Dayong, Wu Dayong's cultivation was the senior level of the Xuanhuang Emperor, Wu Dayong was not good at management, and he only knew cultivation every day.

Li Jun has been running around the inner door for a long time, knowing that there are many people in Li Jundao, but Xiao Chuhao is different and rarely goes out, there are very few people who know Xiao Chuhao, only some high-level people know Xiao Chuhao, who is usually inconspicuous, only knows to squat in the dormitory to practice, if it is not for Xiao Chuhao to have a token, others will not know that there is such a person.

Li Jun signed up for the competition first, and when he arrived at Xiao Chuhao, he reached out and took out the token and handed it to the steward, the steward looked at Xiao Chuhao's age, and then looked at the name and age on the token, and felt a little strange, this steward is a person from the inner hall, and he has never seen Xiao Chuhao himself, because Xiao Chuhao's monthly benefits are all received by Li Jun, and even the inner hall rarely goes, so the steward does not know Xiao Chuhao.

After signing up, Li Jun took Xiao Chuhao to walk around the inner door, and happily took Xiao Chuhao to drink in the dormitory, because the competition time was set for three days, and the final final still had half a month to go.

At this time, on the Xuanwu Peak, on the tall and majestic hall, there were three people sitting and one standing, the three people sitting were the backers of the Xuanwu Gate, the three Taishang elders of the Xuanwu Gate, and the one standing was the sect master Lin Fei.

Yu Qiushui was anxious, and asked Lin Fei, "Has Chu Hao's kid signed up?" Lin Fei hurriedly replied: "Back to the ancestor, Chu Hao has already signed up just now, but I feel that he has reached the Xuanling intermediate level at this time, it shouldn't be difficult to win the competition, Chu Hao has reached the standard of an elite disciple, do you want him to transfer to the team of an elite disciple?"

Yu Qiushui and the three of them did not feel happy and lost, they looked at Lin Fei expressionlessly, Yu Qiushui looked at Lin Nan and Lin Zecheng, and said: "How is it, almost, right? In fact, if this child is taught by me, in more than a year, he will definitely break through the first order, this kid has good qualifications, but he has too little experience, and now he is in a hurry to decide, now he is only twelve years old, otherwise the slower he will improve, and it will be too late to make a decision." The three of us have been inspecting for a year, and this kid is practicing very seriously, and I think this kid is very suitable for me. ”

The three old guys, none of them are good-tempered, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, especially Lin Nan, as a senior brother, always thinks that he is higher than Qiushui and Lin Zecheng, and directly said with white eyes: "I said junior sister, this is not right, I think this child is very suitable for me to teach, if I bring it, this child can definitely improve two stages in more than a year." ”

The three of them did not give in to each other, competing with each other, and the final result was still in accordance with the rules set a year ago, the competition was over, the three elders were directly accepted as disciples, and there were three elders who each took two years, after six years, to see who taught well, Xiao Chuhao is whose apprentice, and six years later it happened to be Xiao Chuhao's coming-of-age ceremony.
