Chapter 6: Skills are not pressing
For another three months, Lu Xiaoan successively gathered three hundred and sixty-one magic needles, which left him with only sixteen spirit stones.
This time, Lu Xiaoan was indeed a little anxious, if someone was careful, they would wonder where an outer disciple got so many spirit stones. But fortunately, no one paid attention to him, and even Elder Chen didn't know how many magic needles he had refined, which was Lu Xiaoan's caution.
After having three hundred and sixty-one magic needles, Lu Xiaoan's cultivation speed was several times faster, so fast that he himself was a little frightened, because it was a suspicious thing to suddenly cultivate so fast.
But Lu Xiaoan can't stop cultivating because of this!
Cultivation is inherently acting against the sky, and if you even have to look ahead and backward in your cultivation, then it is really better to go home and farm.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoan did not slow down his cultivation speed for fear of being suspected, anyway, basically no one dealt with him, and in addition to cultivation, he worked for the sect to earn spirit stones.
After another half a year, Duxian Gate ushered in the annual big competition in the door.
The world of monks is not so peaceful, so each sect will find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the disciples in the sect. Crossing the immortal gate is the right way, so the competition is all up to the point, and basically no one will die.
In addition to exercising the disciple's fighting strength, the inner door competition is also a shortcut for the outer disciple to become a formal disciple, as long as he is favored by the inner door elder in the competition, he can directly become a formal disciple.
Therefore, it is also very important for the inner disciples to become more important than the outer disciples, and it can even be said that there is only one way left for some outer disciples to become official disciples.
Of course, the main cultivation of the inner Dabi is still the formal disciples, and the formal disciples can not only become core disciples through this springboard, but also have rewards, and the outer disciples have nothing.
However, Lu Xiaoan does not have the luxury of becoming an official disciple through the big competition in the door, first, his strength is not enough, in addition to cultivation, his fighting skills are all on a magic spear, which is definitely impossible to use.
In addition, he couldn't explain why he suddenly cultivated so fast, and he couldn't bet that the sect didn't care about this. If he really had any chance, it was most likely to be captured, because his qualifications were terrible as soon as he was tested.
The big competition in the door starts with the outer disciples with low cultivation, and the competition of the outer disciples is held in the outer square where the disciples are accepted, not to mention the master, many elders have not come, that is, on the last day, some elders will come to see if there are any disciples who are pleasing to the eye, after all, the outer disciples are really not worth the waste of time by these elders.
A sect with the largest number of disciples outside the sect must have the most, so the entire square is divided into thirty pieces of space one zhang wide and three zhang long, so that sixty disciples can compete at the same time, which greatly saves time.
Moreover, the competition of outer disciples is not mandatory, you can go up if you want, and if you win, you will be given a jade talisman to enter the next round, and if you lose, you can continue to challenge.
Under normal circumstances, new disciples will not participate in the challenge in the first few years, because the cultivation level is still low, and the challenge is not interesting. And then like Lu Xiaoan before, he wouldn't challenge, and after cultivating for so long, he was still so low, and he was embarrassed to be embarrassed.
Lu Xiaoan has never participated in the competition in the door before, but this year he plans to make an appearance. Because he felt that his cultivation could not be hidden all the time, so it would be beneficial to expose it a little bit. It would be surprising if he had always given the worst impression and suddenly became a full-fledged disciple.
Of course, Lu Xiaoan's concerns may also be fighting wits and courage with the air as before, but it is always right to be cautious.
If you don't reach the Tongmai realm, you can't see through the level of Qi cultivator's cultivation at a glance, so the disciples will expose their cultivation when they enter the competition.
The competition of qi practitioners generally ends quickly, and those who think they are strong will definitely be the first to enter the competition.
At the end of the first day of the competition, the eighth and seventh layers of Qi training basically entered the next round, and on the second day, Lu Xiaoan finally entered. He looked at a disciple of the fifth level of Qi cultivation, this disciple had lost before, and when he entered again, Lu Xiaoan walked in with him at the same time.
The fifth level of Qi cultivation is also a level that is more suitable for his current cultivation, at least it will not make people feel impossible.
Of course, people who are familiar with Lu Xiaoan are still very surprised, no, some people laughed and said: "Lu Xiaoan actually participated in the competition in the door." ”
"Did I hear it wrong, what did he just say about his cultivation?"
"Practice the fifth layer of qi, it seems to be. ”
"He actually practiced the fifth layer of qi, my God, I feel like I'm going to go crazy. ”
"Can he be bullied by Li Shuo all the time when he practices the fifth layer of qi?"
"It doesn't seem strange, Li Shuo...... There are three of them, and Lu Xiaoan has always been relatively cowardly!"
"Then how did he think of participating in the men's competition this time?"
"Could it be because Li Shuo is gone, no one really bullies him now. ”
Lu Xiaoan was not affected by these words, and he decided that it was time to change the people's opinions of him.
There is no numerical value for qualifications, which reflects how much you are and how much I am, this is just an approximation, so Lu Xiaoan's slow cultivation before can also be attributed to being bullied by Li Shuo and them, and he didn't have much time to cultivate.
In this way, it would be nothing for Lu Xiaoan to behave a little more normally.
It's just that Lu Xiaoan didn't expect that the miscellaneous elder who was a referee in a nearby field heard these words, and he was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Lu Xiaoan to have a fifth-level cultivation of Qi training. If this is the case, then Lu Xiaoan can't get rid of suspicion, and he also heard that Lu Xiaoan had refined some magic weapon before.
Although he was skeptical, the miscellaneous elders did not dare to terminate the competition because of this, in the final analysis, the lack of a few outer disciples was a trivial matter after all.
After a burst of discussion, the disciple opposite Lu Xiaoan patted the storage bag and took out a magic sword, after all, the magic sword is the most popular among disciples.
The rules of the competition for outer disciples are more restrictive than those for regular disciples, first of all, they cannot use talismans. Because the cultivation of outer disciples is low, many times a talisman can determine the outcome of the battle. Moreover, talismans are not cheap, and there is no reward for this kind of competition except that they may be selected by the elders on the last day, so everyone doesn't want to waste it.
Most of these low-level magic weapons were refined in batches by the sect, so Lu Xiaoan didn't need to worry, and directly took out Li Shuo's magic sword.
In fact, if it weren't for the other party taking the magic sword out, Lu Xiaoan wouldn't have used the magic sword, but the ordinary sword would be cut off in the face of the magic sword, and he couldn't use it at all. In this battle, Lu Xiaoan was planning to win, so he could only use the magic sword.
The competition is nothing to look at, and it is even very boring, because you can't use talismans, and the spiritual power of the qi practitioner can't cast powerful spells, so the two of them can only slash around with swords, and the comparison is nothing more than whose cultivation is deeper or the moves are more subtle.
But once you reach the Tongmai realm, you can control the flying sword or use spells, and the sword moves you learn now are basically useless. Therefore, except for those who have no hope of becoming a formal disciple through normal cultivation, few people will specialize in swordsmanship or anything, after all, cultivating swordsmanship is also time-consuming, and it is better to seize the time to cultivate if you have that energy, cultivation is the foundation.
It's really ugly for two people who don't know how to use swordsmanship, except that they are faster and have more strength, but they are no different from ordinary people, and they may not be as good.
Lu Xiaoan used a slightly stronger cultivation than the other party, and a few swords made the opponent's mouth numb, and then a sword shook off the opponent's magic sword, and this competition naturally won.
Lu Xiao'an battled wits with the air, pretending to be a little excited, and Xiao Ai despised in his mind: "Your swordsmanship is not as ornamental as my previous world. ”
Lu Xiaoan defended: "We naturally have exquisite swordsmanship, but we just don't have time to learn it." ”
Xiao Ai: "Why don't I teach you the swordsmanship of our world, which is simple but practical, as long as you master a few movement essentials, you can learn it quickly, and then you can win it instantly when you compete with opponents of this level." ”
Lu Xiaoan exclaimed: "Isn't that the world of science and technology, and you also have swordsmanship?"
Xiao Ai: "We call it swordsmanship, and after the technology reaches a certain level, it can also enhance people's physical strength by modifying genes, so hand-to-hand combat will often happen, but we use knives more, because practice has proved that knives are more lethal than swords." ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "Is that so, then I will switch to a knife in the future." ”
Xiao Ai: "Your world is different, if the sword flies in the sky, I can't guarantee that the sword will be better than the sword." ”
Lu Xiaoan asked, "Is that knife technique easy to learn?"
Xiao Ai: "Almost, it's all some power skills." ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "That's all learned, there are many skills and don't pressure the body, the more life-saving means the better, and it is inevitable that there will be a time when the bullets run out in the future." ”
