Chapter 128: Five Summits
The Five Summits is a major event of the Xianlan Sect, which is held once every three years. Only disciples below the Avatar Realm can participate, aiming to encourage their disciples to work hard to cultivate.
These five summit martial arts, as the name suggests, all five peaks have to participate, each peak needs to send three disciples, a total of fifteen contestants, a total of eight groups, two by two.
In this way, one group will have one less test taker. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, in a group with few people, the contestants will directly have byes, without having to compete with others, and directly enter the quarterfinals.
After that, the eight participating disciples fought each other until the final champion was born.
The top three of the five summit martial arts will not have any rewards, but they will get a chance to go out to practice.
At that time, the other three factions of the righteous path, the Wushan faction, the Shaoyang faction, and the Lingchao Temple, will also send outstanding disciples of their own sects to go down the mountain to experience with the disciples of the Xianlan Sect.
The content of the experience of going down the mountain is mostly some tasks that are not very dangerous, such as going down the mountain to remove some demons for the villagers, or investigating the traces of the demons of the Demon Sect, or fighting with the little minions of the Demon Sect, in short, there will not be much danger. The purpose of this is to increase the training experience of the disciples, and also to see and appreciate the uniqueness of the exercises of other righteous path sects, so as to learn from each other's strengths.
All the disciples who have gone down the mountain are much stronger than those who have not gone down the mountain in terms of vision, knowledge, and survival ability.
Therefore, although the top three of the five summit martial arts do not have any substantial rewards, there are still many benefits invisibly.
Many disciples did not want to miss this opportunity.
Moreover, this is even more of a battle of honor for the five veins of the Xianlan Sect!
Any disciple who has achieved excellent results in the Five Peak Martial Arts will also have an honor in the lineage to which he belongs. If the disciple of any peak wins the championship, the status of this vein in the sect will also be significantly improved in the future.
The reason why Yuhui Peak is not treated well by other peak disciples is largely because the results of the Five Summits Martial Arts are at the bottom, and it is several years at the bottom, so it is no wonder that they are underestimated.
If Gangfeng can develop so prosperously, it has a lot to do with the excellent results of the disciples of the Wufeng Wuzhong Sect.
And in the last Wufeng Martial Arts, it was Lu Shen, a disciple of Gangfeng, who won the final championship.
"These five summit martial arts, winning the fourth place is the best, the results are in the middle and upper, neither the top nor the bottom, in line with the golden mean. The most important thing is that the top three of the five summit martial arts not only have no rewards, but also have to go out to practice. Although the content of going out to experience is not dangerous, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and there are always accidents in everything, what if you encounter the great devil of the Demon Sect during the training? What if you encounter a peerless demon that is rare in a hundred years during the training? Wouldn't you leave this beautiful world early?"
At the dinner table, Li Changshou gnawed on the pig's trotters in braised sauce, and at the same time, analyzed the pros and cons of the five summit martial arts in depth.
Now there is still a month to go, and the Five Summit Martial Arts are about to begin, and at this time, the Five Summit Martial Arts have naturally become a hot topic among the disciples of the various peaks and veins.
The same is true for Yuhuifeng.
"The junior brother is right. However, all of your big truths are based on the premise that you have the strength to finish fourth. And let's return to the peak, we have been ranked at the bottom of the five summits for several consecutive sessions. If you can get the penultimate result, you will burn high incense, and you still want to win the fourth place? In the words of the little junior brother, you can dream quickly, there is everything in your dreams!" Song Li picked up a piece of steamed abalone, threw it into his mouth in a chic manner, and commented on Li Changshou's words just now while chewing.
Li Changshou glared at him and said, "Senior brother, you have to have ideals to be a man." Before the little junior brother came, our peak did have to be the first to last every time, but now it is different from the past, how good is the luck of the little junior brother, don't you know?
Song Li swallowed the steamed abalone in his mouth, and smiled: "The luck of the little junior brother, naturally, I don't have to say." ”
Li Changshou stroked his palms and smiled: "So I said, this time the five martial arts, the two of us may not be able to, but the little junior brother may be able to explode and become the dark horse in the martial arts of this year's Five Veins Society, and achieve excellent results, even if he wins the championship of the Five Veins Martial Arts, I am not surprised at all." ”
Liu Xiaoxu was eating silently on the side, listening to the more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, and hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, you don't know my strength, champion or something, how can it be? This is not comparable to a newcomer, this time the five summit martial arts, all the disciples below the incarnation realm can participate, there are many disciples in our sect who are in the infancy stage, how can I be their opponent with this superficial cultivation?"
Li Changshou said earnestly: "Little junior brother, you can't be timid. You must know that everything is possible, and you should be indomitable in martial arts, and you must have the courage and determination to do it knowing that you can't do it!"
Liu Xiaoxu rolled his eyes: "It's almost over, you can't beat it, how can I fight?" However, this time the five summits, I will try to get a good ranking." ”
Song Li said from the side: "Yes, just do your best." Speaking of which, your senior brother and I have been unhappy all these years, no matter how big or small the competition, back to the bottom, even the master and his old man are also disgraced. Don't look at the master, he looks quite out of tune, in fact, his temperament is stronger than anyone else, if the little junior brother can get a good ranking in this five-summit martial arts, the master and his old man will definitely be very pleased. ”
A dinner is spent in talking and laughing like this.
In the next few days, Liu Xiaoxu devoted himself to cultivation every day to prepare for the five summits in a month.
Before you know it, a month has passed.
The Five Summits, which are only held once every three years, have finally arrived in the ardent anticipation of countless Xianlan Sect disciples.
The venue is located in the square of the main peak.
The square is large enough to accommodate thousands of people, and in the center of the square, a ring is placed.
Early in the morning, the disciples of each peak, under the leadership of their respective seats, came to the main peak square to gather.
Liu Xiaoxu came with Chixuan Dao, accompanied by Song Li and Li Changshou.
At this time, many disciples had already gathered in the square.
From a distance, I saw that the people of Danfeng had come. The person at the head is none other than the first Qi Elder of Danfeng.
Seeing Liu Xiaoxu and his party coming, Elder Qi walked over with a smile, looked Chixuan Dao up and down, and said, "Isn't this Senior Brother Chixuan, I haven't seen you for a year, and you still haven't changed at all." Speaking of which, I really haven't seen you in a long time. ”
Chixuan Daoist laughed: "Blame me, blame me." Senior brother, I returned to the mountain two months ago, and I have not come to visit, when Senior Brother Qi is free one day, Senior Brother I will definitely put on a feast and make amends to Senior Brother Qi. ”
During the conversation, he seemed to be very familiar with Elder Qi.
"Oh yes. Chixuan Dao Chang seemed to remember something, and smiled mysteriously: "Half a year ago, there was one more disciple in my sect, who is very good at cooking, and I have heard that Senior Brother Qi has the best food, if you have time, come to my peak to sit, I will let my disciple cook you a sumptuous meal, and you will not be disappointed." ”
After that, he pulled Liu Xiaoxu in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is my new disciple half a year ago, this person's name is Liu Xiaoxu, and he is a good cook." Xiao Xu, this is the first Qi Elder of Dan Peak, haven't you seen it soon? Your Qi Master Uncle is extremely powerful in alchemy, if you can get a pill and a half medicine from him, it is better than your penance for several years. ”
"Disciple Liu Xiaoxu has seen Elder Qi. Liu Xiaoxu blinked and said with a well-behaved face.
Elder Qi had a strange expression.
Chixuan Daoist thought that he had not seen Liu Xiaoxu's cooking skills, but he didn't know that Liu Xiaoxu had already dealt with him a long time ago. There is also a very deep cooperation between the two.
"Ahem, excuse me. Since your master praised your cooking skills, you must take a good look at it another day. Seeing that Liu Xiaoxu didn't explain the relationship between the two of them to Daoist Chixuan, Elder Qi didn't break it, so he simply did enough tricks, pretending to see Liu Xiaoxu for the first time.
"Xiao Xu, you and your senior brother go around, I have a rare encounter with your Uncle Qi, and I want to chat with him for a while. Chixuan Dao Commander commanded.
Liu Xiaoxu and the three of them hurriedly retired and wandered aside.
At this time, four or five hundred people gathered in the square. In the Danfeng lineage alone, the number of disciples under the sect has already exceeded 100.
Many disciples have their own cave mansions, and they have been practicing in the mansion on weekdays, and rarely show their heads, so many people here have never been seen by Liu Xiaoxu.
This couldn't help but make Liu Xiaoxu secretly amazed.
Unexpectedly, in this huge Xianlan Sect, there were not many people in the various peaks and veins, but with the holding of the five summits, these people came out one after another.
Liu Xiaoxu made a general observation and found that the cultivation of these people was very high, basically above the Yuan Infant Stage, and many of them met the conditions for participating in the Five Summits. It's just that most of these people have experienced several sessions of the Five Summits, and they have long been not interested in this kind of competition. I'm here just to watch the battle.
Instead of fighting, they are more willing to give up the opportunity of this martial arts competition to their younger brothers and sisters.
This is already a common practice in the Xianlan Sect.
In addition to Danfeng, Xiaojing Peak and Gangfeng also gathered a large number of disciples.
Especially on Xiao Jingfeng's side, many of them are fresh faces, and hundreds of female cultivators are standing in one place, curling Tingting, warblers and swallows, which has become the most beautiful scenery in the square.
These female cultivators have been cultivating all year round, and they are all outstanding in terms of figure and appearance, and now so many stunning beauties are gathered in one place, it is almost possible to hold a small beauty contest.
"Wow! That junior sister is so beautiful!"
"You're not right, the junior sister on the left is more beautiful, not only good looking, but also good figure. ”
"Fart, fart, the sister on the right is more beautiful, not only has a good figure, but also has a big butt and is easy to raise. ”
"What you said is not right, the junior sister in the back is more beautiful!"
"Children only do multiple-choice questions, and I think that every junior sister is good-looking!"
"Brother, you're too greedy, so many junior sisters, can you afford to eat your body?"
The male cultivators in the vicinity commented on their heads, their eyes were about to fall out, and when they were arguing, they refused to take their eyes off these female cultivators.
There was a prodigal son who licked his face and stepped forward to talk.
As a result, the woman who was accosted didn't even look at him, and the disciple was bored with the boss, and fled to the side in a gloating coault of countless male cultivators.
With the precedent of the first person, the other male cultivators who originally wanted to come forward to talk to each other stopped their thoughts.
These female cultivators of Xiaojing Peak, although they all look like flowers and jade, they are all ice beauties, but they can't be played with from a distance.
