Chapter 30: The Ancient Nine Reappears
Gu Qingling was the inner disciple of Ziqing Palace, but these outer disciples all admired him very much, because although he looked unkind, he was actually extremely warm in his heart. Many inner disciples of the Tianqian Sect would look down on the outer disciples because their status was nobler than them, but Gu Qingling would not. On the contrary, he would also help some disciples when their cultivation was at a bottleneck. Therefore, even though Gu Qingling was not their senior brother, they would still call him the third senior brother.
Gu Qingling slowly walked up from the steps of the Kunlun Realm and heard someone in the crowd shouting his name.
Gu Qingling indifferently turned his head and glanced at the crowd.
"Xiao Qian, is your posture of practicing swords roasting chicken? Gu Qingling drank it lightly.
The disciple named by Gu Qingling was also one of the people who called the third senior brother just now.
He knew that Gu Qingling was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and on the surface he was scolding him, but in fact, he was correcting his actions. His face was slightly red, and he hurriedly squatted down the horse, looking serious and hardworking.
"Where is your leading senior brother?" Gu Qingling looked at the scattered team, their sword practice was very scattered, because one of the leading inner disciples did not have it.
"Third Senior Brother, the head of the sect asked all the inner disciples to go to the Ziqing Palace to gather, and our senior brother also went. Someone in the crowd replied loudly.
"Assemble?" Gu Qingling frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that it was because of the Tianshan Sect's recruitment of disciples this time.
He muttered to himself and walked straight past the side of the line, just as he was about to report on the mission down the mountain.
"The inner disciples of the Qianmen are really good that day, you see how majestic the third senior brother is. Someone in the crowd was whispering.
"Yes, look at our inner senior brother of the Dikun Sect, although he is also an inner disciple, he can't compare with their Tianqian Sect!"
"What do you know? I heard that the third senior brother also participated in the selection of the inner disciples of the Tianqian Sect before becoming an inner disciple? So he is very kind to us inner disciples!" Someone is gossiping about Gu Qingling's past.
"Yes, I must also pass this year's selection of disciples from the inner sect of Tianqianmen. One of the disciples wiped his sweat, and he stared at the sword in his hand, every move and style extremely serious.
"Come on, with your talent, it's better to be an outer disciple. You don't know that not everyone can go up to that Wutai. Someone behind him sneered.
Yes, it is not easy to be an inner disciple.
Gu Qingling entered the Golden Immortal, and his hearing was naturally more sensitive than ordinary people, and he listened to the whispers of those disciples, and remembered something a long, long time ago.
The inner disciples of the Tianshan Sect are not all able to be. It's not enough for you to have strength, you have to have talent.
The lower limit of the inner disciple of the Tianshan Sect must be a lower immortal, but if you have a great talent, even if you have not yet ascended, they will make you an inner disciple.
There are only two ways to become a disciple of the Tianqian Sect of the Tianshan Sect, the first is to take the touchstone test when participating in the selection of disciples of the Tianshan Sect. However, there are very few people who can pass the touchstone test in the past hundred years, especially in recent years, and only a handful of people can pass the touchstone test every time, so no one even wants to participate in the touchstone test anymore.
On the one hand, it is almost impossible, and on the other hand, it is afraid of knowing that you have no talent and give up.
And the so-called selection of inner disciples only gave them a glimmer of hope. It needs to pick one of the five current Tianqianmen inner disciples, and defeat him head-on or get his approval before it can become an inner disciple.
When Yu Ziqing left the Tianshan Sect, there were more than 70 inner disciples, but only ten people have been added so far, which shows how difficult it is to become an inner disciple.
Gu Qingling was just an ordinary outer disciple at the beginning, and he was one of the few ten.
These disciples obviously didn't understand yet, they thought that as long as they worked hard enough, they would be able to become the high-ranking inner disciple and become the elite of the sect. As everyone knows, without talent, no matter how hard they work the day after tomorrow, it will only be in vain, and they will never even be able to reach the level of the Golden Immortal.
Someone once said that only when you reach the Golden Immortal can you be considered a cultivator. If you don't even have the talent to reach the Golden Immortal, why bother cultivating the Immortal?
Among the disciples of the Tianshan Sect, there are countless people who are lower immortals, and they have broken their heads and want to go to the next level, but many of them can only stop here in this life and become cannon fodder of the Tianshan Sect.
Gu Qingling climbed the stairs, the stone steps of the Tianshan faction were all made of marble as white as jade, and even the palaces of the Tianshan faction were mostly white buildings. Therefore, this Kunlun realm is also known as the Heavenly Palace, because it is spotless, white as snow, like a paradise in the clouds.
"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Gu, you actually came back alive!" The two disciples, who were also wearing white robes, took a look at Gu Qingling around the corner.
The man's face was extremely familiar, because it was he who trembled under Yu Ziqing's sword more than ten years ago. At this moment, he had already regained his original arrogant appearance, looking at Gu Qingling in front of him.
More than ten years have passed, and he is still hovering at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and he has never been able to enter the realm of the Xuan Immortal. And in the eyes of all the elders, the talent of this senior brother was even below Gu Qingling. This is also the reason why Gu Jiu regards Gu Qingling as a thorn in his side.
And there is also a thin man beside Gu Jiu, he is Gu Jiu's lackey, often patting his ass, and he is also the seventeenth disciple of Tianqianmen, Li Tianyi. At this moment, he was hiding behind Gu Jiu, and the dog was also staring at Gu Qingling with squinted eyes.
For Gu Jiu's sneering greeting, Gu Qingling didn't care. He knew that Gu Jiu didn't want to see him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Yes, how many people in the world can help me? Gu Qingling's words were extremely arrogant, but he also had his own confidence.
There are very few Xuan Immortals in each sect, and they are all elder-level figures, so it is naturally impossible to easily do something to a junior. And among the Golden Immortals, Gu Qingling was almost invincible, or he thought that he was the best among the disciples of the younger generation.
Gu Jiu's face was by no means good-looking, he knew that Gu Qingling had something to say in his words, and he was mocking that he was not his opponent.
It has been almost 50 years since Gu Jiu entered the Tianshan Gate, while Gu Qingling has only been twenty years. When Yu Ziqing was still there, Gu Jiu didn't discover Gu Qingling's talent. He only regarded Yu Ziqing as his only opponent, but he didn't expect that the two of them were so different that he would never be able to catch up with him.
But it's okay, Yu Ziqing is gone, and he is the most talented disciple of the Tianshan Sect. But he didn't expect that at a fairy sword conference ten years ago, Gu Qingling only surprised the four with his skill of Heavenly Technique, so that he could directly replace the three disciples who died under Yu Ziqing's sword with Gu Jiu from an ordinary outer disciple.
Gu Jiu knew that Gu Qingling was not not not talented, he just didn't fight. At the beginning, he did not choose to participate in the touchstone test, and he chose to hide after learning the Heavenly Secret in the Tianqing Palace.
"What an arrogant tone. Gu Jiu snorted coldly, he knew that Gu Qingling was saying that he couldn't do anything about him. However, he really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defeat Gu Qingling completely, "Don't think that you are invincible, you must know that among the many disciples of our Tianshan Sect, there is one person that you will never be able to surpass." ”
Gu Qingling naturally knew who Gu Jiu was talking about.
In fact, Gu Qingling himself also has his own thoughts, twelve years ago, he participated in the battle to intercept Yu Ziqing from going down the mountain.
He was also one of those many disciples, at that time he learned the Imperial Heavenly Secret from the Tianqing Palace, but chose to become an ordinary disciple. Because he didn't want to enter the intriguing crowd for the title of so-called inner disciple.
The so-called inner disciples are just to compare whose talent is higher, who can become the pride in the eyes of the master, a good seedling.
Whatever the reason for his initial establishment, now the inner disciples of the Tianqian Sect have been reduced to a joke.
He is willing to be a little disciple, practice swords every day, and chat with his senior brothers. However, those disciples who practiced swords with him died and were wounded, and Yu Ziqing, who was holding the Dugu Sword in the crowd, seemed to be in a no-man's land, he was the initiator of that killing.
