Chapter 159: Challenges
To the outer courtyard of the Taoist Palace, the miscellaneous hall.
A young disciple in white followed behind the two deacons of the blue-clothed Academy Palace and walked into the hall.
This young disciple in white was very young, only about twenty-one or twelve years old, with thin eyebrows, as narrow as a sword, and always had a look of arrogance on his face.
After coming to the miscellaneous hall, the three of them came to a counter somewhere at the back of the hall, and the white-clothed young disciple said to a middle-aged man in blue behind the counter: "Deacon Ge, have you collected all the three pills that Senior Brother Qiu asked you to collect?"
"It's all right. ”
The blue-clothed deacon saw the arrival of the young man in white, obviously his identity and strength were much higher than the other party, but he still had a humble expression, he reached out and carefully took out three pill bottles from under the counter, one red, one blue and one purple, and handed them to the young man in white together, and said: "This is the Three Insects and Three Flower Pills, each of which is a rare and difficult to find poison when taken separately, but it is a great tonic when taken together, but the effect of the medicine is a little violent, please tell Qiu Gongzi to be careful when taking it." ”
"You don't have to worry about this. ”
With a flick of his hand, the young man in white put the three pill bottles on the counter into the storage bag together, and then took out a money bag from the storage bag: "This is the final payment, a total of 70,000 merit coins, plus the 30,000 that I paid you before, the cost of buying these three insects and three flower pills has been paid off, but this time you have done Senior Brother Qiu a great favor, once he breaks through to the early stage of the Seven Layers of the Easy Realm, defeats Gu Tianya and becomes the first disciple of the outer court, he will definitely remember your favor." ”
"Well said, well said!"
The blue-clothed deacon took the silver bag, opened it in front of him, counted it, and counted it, it was indeed 70,000 merit coins, and immediately said with a smile on his face.
To tell the truth, these three insects and three flower pills are really not easy to collect, and it took him a lot of effort to collect them with great difficulty, in order not to earn that little merit coin, but to make friends with the 'Senior Brother Qiu' in the mouth of the young man in white.
As for the small ring list in the outer courtyard of the Taoist Palace, because it is changed every half a year, the original No. 1 'Yan Shou' Lei Chuandeng has joined the inner courtyard, and the first is empty, and the eighth-ranked 'white-clothed' Lan Wuxin died in the Lingwu Mountain Range, so now there are only eight people in the top ten of the small ring list in the outer courtyard.
Among these eight people, it is recognized that the most qualified to compete for the first place in this year's small ring list is Gu Tianya, who ranked second in the original outer court, and Qiu Qiwen, who ranked third in the 'Flying Spirit Sword'.
Once one of the two can win the first place in this year's small ring list, they will definitely enter the inner courtyard soon, and with their talent and hard work, their status will definitely be far above this 'Deacon Ge' in the future, so he will definitely be willing to make friends in advance.
Obviously, in order to compete for the ranking on the small ring list, not only Xiao Mo, a disciple who participated in the small ring list for the first time, is actively preparing for the battle, but even those who were originally on the small ring list did not dare to slack off, and even paid more attention to it, trying all kinds of ways to increase their strength.
After all, if others lose, they will lose, but they are all people who are already famous, once they fail, they fall into the ranking, which is equivalent to losing all face, and the status of the resources in hand will also be lost.
No one can stand such consequences.
Therefore, in the last period of time before the small ring list was held, everyone showed their magical powers, either cultivating frantically, or trying all kinds of other ways to increase their strength......
'Flying Spirit Sword' Qiu Qiwen is like this, he wants to use the power of the elixir to break through the sevenfold realm of the Easy Realm as soon as possible, defeat Gu Tianya, and win the first place.
And the 'Red Flame Spear' Gu Tianya is said to have gone to the depths of the Lingwu Mountain Range to retreat three months ago, and he has not come back yet, I don't know what secret technique he is cultivating, which is obviously not trivial.
In addition to these people, the rest of the people on the small ring list are also working hard to cultivate, accumulate strength, and strive to be a blockbuster and go further on the small ring list in half a month.
Knowing that 'Senior Brother Qiu' had been waiting for these three insects and three flower pills for a long time, after the young man in white put away the three pill bottles, he no longer slackened off, and walked towards the outside of the miscellaneous hall with the two deacons of the blue-clothed school palace.
As they walked, suddenly the three of them were stunned.
Because a person was walking towards them, also dressed in an ordinary white-clothed outer courtyard disciple uniform, wasn't it Xiao Mo who was about to come to the Miscellaneous Hall to receive his four-month ration?
The three of them glanced at each other, and the young man in white suddenly glanced at the two deacons in blue behind him.
The two blue-clothed deacons understood in an instant, nodded immediately, grinned, and suddenly jumped and blocked the door of the miscellaneous hall, just in front of Xiao Mo, who was about to enter the door.
"Hey, isn't this the new outer court disciple who said that he wanted us to look good? Why, I haven't seen us for so long, and you forgot about us?"
"That's right......"
Another blue-clothed deacon held his chin and pretended to be contemplative: "Yes, I went to distribute rations in the past few months, and I don't seem to have seen this person in the Jiasan Academy, it seems that he is a turtle with a shrunken head." Why, if you want to come directly to this miscellaneous hall to get it, bypass our level, how can it be so good!"
As he spoke, the eyes of the two blue-clothed deacons became fierce.
As the deacons of the Outer Court of the Supreme Daoist Palace, their task is to distribute resource rations to all the disciples of the Outer Court, and this resource ration is collected from the Miscellaneous Hall at one time, and then distributed by them in batches.
And the rest, part of it was handed over to the elders of the school palace, so that they could turn a blind eye to this matter, and the other part was given to the top ten disciples on the small ring list, so that they would not interfere in this matter, as long as the golden-veined disciples did not interfere, the rest of them would not have the guts and courage, even if they had the courage and courage, they would not have the strength.
As for the last small part, it is up to them to fill their own pockets.
Xiao Mo wanted to bypass them and come directly to the miscellaneous hall to collect it, which was equivalent to moving their cheese and breaking the rules of the Zhidao Palace, if he didn't see it, it would be fine, since he saw it, how could they spare it?
Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him with some confusion.
At first, he didn't recognize it, but when he heard the other party say the word 'ration', it dawned on him that he finally remembered who the three people in front of him were.
At the beginning, it was these three people who went to the Jiasan School together to distribute resource rations to Xiao Mo and them, obviously two bottles of Xiao Ding Soul Pill per month, and the ration of one hundred meritorious iron coins, they were forced to shrink by half, and when someone questioned it, they were seriously injured on the spot.
This anger was unbearable for Xiao Mo at that time, but knowing that his strength was not as good as others, he forcibly suppressed it, but before the other party left, he asked the other party to leave his name, saying that one day, he would definitely challenge them to repay the humiliation of the day.
At that time, the three of them all looked at Xiao Mo with the expression of a fool, and finally laughed sarcastically, leaving their names without care, obviously not taking the challenge of an ordinary outer court disciple like Xiao Mo in their eyes at all.
But he didn't expect that the road was narrow, and he was only short of pills for a while, and he thought that there were still four months of rations that he hadn't received, so he came to the miscellaneous hall to get it, and he happened to meet these three people.
Xiao Mo's gaze swept over the two blue-clothed deacons and the white-clothed disciple in the outer courtyard behind them.
The two blue-clothed deacons, one Huang Haoxuan and the other Bi Kunpeng, are both deacons in the Miscellaneous Hall of the Outer Courtyard of the Daoist Palace, and the young disciple in white behind the two is a veteran disciple of the outer courtyard, and he is also slightly famous on the small ring list, ranking about seventy or eighty, it seems to be called Shu Qisheng.
Huang Haoxuan, Bi Kunpeng, Shu Qisheng!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He is not a person who will repay him, but he also has his own bottom line, and there is no doubt that these three people have stepped on his bottom line.
It's just a matter of deduction, bullying others, thinking that if he enters the school palace for a few more years, his cultivation is more advanced, and his exercises are more exquisite, he can teach and question their outer court disciples at will, which Xiao Mo can't tolerate.
Originally, Xiao Mo thought that when he had achieved a little success in his cultivation, he would go to them for trouble, but he didn't expect that because of Xiao Shenjian's matter, he was under too much pressure, and he only wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, so he closed and retreated, and forgot about them for the time being, but today he came to the front by himself.
Squinting his eyes, Xiao Mo looked at the three people opposite.
In the past, Xiao Mo's cultivation was still shallow, and he couldn't see the specific cultivation of the three of them, but now, he has been promoted to the early stage of the sixth stage of the Escape Realm, even among the disciples of the outer courtyard of the Daoist Palace, he is also among the best, plus the soul perception is strong, so he can finally roughly guess the specific cultivation of the three people.
Among the three of them, the blue-clothed deacon on the left was the most powerful, probably around the beginning of the Sevenfold Realm of Freedom.
The blue-clothed deacon on the right has a slightly lower strength, but he also has the sixfold peak of the Escape Realm.
As for Shu Qisheng, a young disciple in white, he only has the strength of the middle stage of the Sixfold Realm in the Escape Realm, and among the three, he is considered to be at the bottom.
But no matter what, the cultivation of the three of them is higher than Xiao Mo.
In this regard, Xiao Mo is not surprised.
The deacons of the outer court of the Zhidao Palace are promoted from the disciples of the outer court who cannot be promoted to the inner court, even if their qualifications are low, but they have stayed in the Zhidao Palace for at least more than ten years, more than ten years, as long as they are willing to work hard and have some resources, it is normal to cultivate to the sixth or seventh strength of the Xiaoyao Realm.
It would be strange if he didn't even have the strength of the six or seven levels of the Easy Realm.
On the contrary, it was Shu Qisheng, the young disciple in white, who was very young, and had reached the middle stage of the sixfold stage of the Freedom Realm, and was famous in the small ring, which could be said to have a great future, far above the two blue-clothed deacons.
Although his cultivation is a little lower now, it is only a matter of one or two years to catch up, as long as he is promoted to the inner court, his status will be reversed, no wonder his cultivation is higher, but the two blue-clothed deacons are very polite to him, and among the three, he is faintly the leader.
"But ......"
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo sneered.
The strength of the three of them is good, and in the past, he was indeed not an opponent, but the problem is that he is no longer the hairy boy who didn't know anything when he first joined the Academy.
The so-called not seeing each other for a day, such as every three autumns or more than four months, is also the time to let these three people see their means, just as a warm-up game before the start of the small ring list, let yourself also see how your strength is, and what position you can rank on the small ring list.
Thinking like this, Xiao Mo made a decision in an instant, he looked at the three people opposite, and said in a deep voice: "But I still remember the agreement in the first three schools, I said that today's humiliation will snow one day, and now, it's time." ”
He didn't enter the chores hall again, but turned around and walked towards a dense forest on the left: "If you have the guts, then come!"
The two blue-clothed deacons, as well as the white-clothed young disciple, the three of them glanced at each other, looked at each other, and suddenly couldn't help but burst into a burst of laughter: "Hahaha...... He really dared to challenge us, well, very good, today's young people really don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Thinking of this, the three of them showed a hint of excitement in their eyes: "Let's go, it's okay, go and meet this kid and see what confidence he has!"
Saying that, the three of them did not hesitate, and directly chased Xiao Mo's figure towards the dense forest.
ps: second update.
Calculated, during the New Year's Festival, a total of seven watches were owed, and one watch was made up yesterday, which is the second watch of compensation, and there are five watches.
