Chapter Forty-Eight: The Great Comparison of Sects
"She is like a fish in water in Cangyun Sect, and most of the Qi cultivation stage disciples dare not touch her edge. ”
"Oh~ She actually has this ability?"
"She and I also entered the Herb Peak, and they were also not favored by the Jindan Elders, but she somehow became the concubine of the only Jindan Stage Elder on the Herb Peak who developed the Poison Pill, becoming a Poison Cultivator, and she was very ruthless. This time, when you go to Cangyun Sect, you must be careful of her. ”
"Well, she and we have a life and death holiday, and it is also her credit that our family was forced to flee the family, and we almost died, and we can't turn the conflict into a jade silk. Did she embarrass you at Herb Peak?"
"At first, I was troubled a few times, but then I tried to avoid contact with her, and the Cangyun Sect has strict rules and regulations, and it does not allow infighting between disciples, so it has been safe for the past three years. ”
"She's like an appendage, a rat in the gutter, ready to give us a fatal blow at any time, I must find a chance to get rid of her!" Xue Ying gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"I won't stop you, but you have to be extra careful. Anything about her is poisonous, including her body. Hey, there's a little ant on your shoulder, and it seems like you've been staring at me. ”
Xue Ying thought of the ability of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and thought happily - God really favored me, she was a poisonous cultivator, and she gave me a snow lotus that is invincible to all poisons. Hearing Xue Han talk about the little ant, he laughed and said,
"Haha, you just found it, it's been paying attention to you for a long time! ”
The little ant snorted arrogantly, "I'm the first brother of the Sky Swallowing Ant, and I like to eat and purify spiritual liquids. Although your talent for alchemy is good, I must be stronger than you, hum......"
Xue Ying saw that the little ant was going to say something out of tune, so she quickly covered its mouth to prevent it from continuing to brag and talk big, and said to Xue Han with a smirk, "Don't be like it, it's all studying and experimenting around me, and I haven't seen much of the world." ”
"Haha, it's the mule or the horse that comes out to slip around, let's just have a competition, you don't have to worry about it!" Xue Han became interested in the little ant.
The little ant struggled to break free of Xue Ying's palm, snorted and panted, jumped onto Xue Han's shoulder again, and glared at Xue Ying fiercely, "That's it, Xue Han, it's still you and my appetite, let's compare them now." ”
"Okay!" one person and one worm walked out of the house like this, leaving Xue Ying alone in the empty room. I went and didn't come back until the early morning of the next day.
"Xiao Ying, the first brother is very powerful, the extracted spiritual liquid has zero impurities, which is difficult for even the Dan Dao master to do, and it is not limited to the formula of the predecessors, it is very thoughtful. ”
"Really? It's been messing around all day, and I've never seen the finished product. Xue Ying had to look at the little ant with admiration.
"Well, but its current understanding of medicinal herbs comes from your daily lectures, and its reserves are not rich enough. I'd like to bring it to me and tell him all the herbs in the Herb Illustrated Book. ”
Xue Ying didn't make a decision for the little ant, but asked, "First brother, are you willing to go?" If you agree, I can pick you up in front of the sect Dabi." ”
"I'm willing, the first brother wants to become a Dan Dao master!" the little ant stepped on Xue Han's shoulders on his four legs, and raised his head to declare. Xue Ying and Xue Han were both amused by the little ant's small expression.
——
Half a month later, Xue Ying and the three were summoned to Elder Deng's house. After everyone arrived, Elder Deng motioned to the waiter to speak with his eyes.
"Yesterday, the participants of all sects have gathered in Cangyun Sect, and at eight o'clock this morning, you will gather at the peak of Cangyun Peak, and you are about to start the sect competition. ”
"If you have anything to pack up, hurry up and come back here at 7:50. Elder Deng spoke.
"Yes!" the three of them replied with their heads bowed and shouted.
Xue Ying first went to Herb Peak to pick up the little ants, and then went non-stop to inform the news of the gathering of the three members of the Su Nu Sword Sect before rushing back to Elder Deng's house. Ouyang Han and Deng Mingwen arrived early, and compared to their calmness, Xue Ying seemed flustered and hurried.
Elder Deng glanced at Xue Ying unhappily, but he didn't say anything, and led the three of them to the top of Cangyun Peak.
The peak of Cangyun Peak
In the center of the north side are four elegant and simple chairs, the legs of which are intricately carved with black patterns, and the back seats are rounded and shiny. In contrast, the south chairs are much more austere, with dozens of them in a circle, facing a large circular platform in the center.
Except for the four chairs in the center of the north face, many of the other chairs were occupied by older monks, behind whom stood three or five young monks, and in front of them were sectarian flags with distinctive characteristics.
Xue Ying noticed at a glance the flag erected in front of the second seat in the north from the east: a meteor shining with white light divided the black flag into two halves from the middle, like a sharp sword cutting through the dark night sky, with an indomitable momentum and determination to die, giving people a strong visual impact.
Elder Deng walked straight to the back of the flag and sat down, and Xue Ying and the three of them stood behind him with their hands down. Soon, three other chairs also welcomed their owners.
The old man on Elder Deng's left was dressed in black, with a silver sword pattern printed on his chest, his expression was serious and meticulous, and he closed his eyes after saying hello to Elder Deng, ignoring the noise of the outside world. The three disciples behind him were also expressionless, holding a sword in one hand and placing the other at their side, their eyes looking firmly ahead.
The old man on Elder Deng's right was white-haired and white-clothed, holding a whisk in his hand, his face was soft, and he was a fairy wind and bones, it was Mo Wentian, the sect leader of the Cangyun Sect. There were three disciples standing behind him, and their faces were full of joy and excitement when they were in such close contact with the sect master.
The old man on the westernmost chair had a fierce face, holding a poison-tailed scorpion in his arms, and a white crane standing on his shoulder, this combination has to be said to be very strange. The three disciples behind him were dressed differently and had different demeanors, and the only common feature was that they were all accompanied by spirit beasts.
At eight o'clock, a monk of Zhuji, who was about twenty-three or four years old, with black hair draped vertically over his shoulders, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, deep black eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, stepped forward, with a cold, arrogant and lonely charming temperament.
"Xie Jinglin, a disciple of the Refining Instrument Peak, visited the sect master and met the elders. ”
Mo Wentian nodded slightly, brushed the dust and said, "Let's start!"
"Yes, the disciple obeys!"
Xie Jinglin bowed to Mo Wentian again before walking to the center of the round platform and facing the people in the south and said, "In the past, we used the method of the ring competition to determine the winner, and distributed the cultivation resources according to the level of the fighting method, so that the strength of the disciples could not be fully considered.
Therefore, this year, it will be decided by the joint discussion of the sect masters of the four major sects, and all the participating disciples will go to a newly discovered ancient cultivation cave mansion to judge your ranking according to your gains.
I would like to make three points here, first: for the sake of fairness and justice, no one knows in advance about the method of this sect competition except for the sect masters of the four major sects, and the value of your harvest is jointly estimated by the representatives of the four major sects;
Second, the Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion that you are about to explore was discovered by the disciples of the Cangyun Sect, and a hidden formation was set up outside it, so you have to hand over half of your gains;
Thirdly, this Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion is not in the outside space, it needs to be teleported into it by special means, and it is very old, and the spiritual power of the disciples above the cultivation period can make it collapse and shatter, so everyone needs to be cautious when using the treasures.
No one knows what is going on inside, and there are both opportunities and dangers, so you can consider whether or not to participate. ”
Xie Jinglin's voice fell, and the crowd instantly became lively.
Elder Deng turned around, "The sect master didn't tell me about this beforehand, what do you three think, are you willing to take risks for the sect?"
Without thinking, Zhou Mingwen took the lead in replying, "The disciple is duty-bound. ”
Elder Deng nodded with satisfaction, "What about you?"
"Disciple is willing!" the two said in unison, their tones firm.
"Okay, you deserve to be an outstanding disciple of my Meteor Sect, half of the harvest you got this time is all your own!"
"Thank you, brother!"
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
Elder Deng's expression became serious, "You deserve it. However, if you snatch the opportunity by your ability, I don't force you to help each other, at least you can't kill each other, understand? Otherwise, the Sect's Discipline Department will be dealt with strictly!"
"Yes!" Elder Deng's fierce words made the hearts of the three of them feel cold.
Elder Deng's face softened at this time, "Well, you guys have a good rest first, let's get ready!"
When Xue Ying was closing her eyes and recuperating, she always felt that there was a malicious gaze staring at her firmly, as if she was staring at her prey.
She frowned uncomfortably, and suddenly opened her eyes to see that a woman in a purple dress and a veil was also looking over, and she looked at each other for a while. Despite the veil, Xue Ying could sense that the other party was sneering, and a strange and eerie feeling arose.
Half an hour later, Xie Jinglin came to the stage again, "Ready Daoist friends can follow me to my destination." We can support the opening of the cave space for a month, and all Taoist friends will calculate the time and come out on time, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
Xie Jinglin took the lead in leaving, and the participating disciples immediately followed, and after the disciples left, the representatives of the sect began to greet each other.
Xue Ying's Imperial Envoy Fengyun Sword was in the middle of the team, and the woman in purple followed closely, always at a short distance from Xue Ying.
After about two hours, the group stopped in an endless desert. The place was deserted, not a single weed was to be seen, only sand and gravel and whirlwinds blew from time to time.
Xie Jinglin shouted loudly, "This is it! There is an overlap in the space here, it is due to the influence of the Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion, everyone must move carefully."
The disciples of the Cangyun Sect have already opened the formation for you, and the moment the space of the two places is separated, you will quickly rush in, and you will not wait!"
"Senior, how do you judge the separation of space?"
"The overlap of space will bring vertigo to everyone, the senses of time and space intertwined, and when you have a clear mind, you will rush straight forward. If you still can't tell the difference, don't worry, I'll give you a signal. ”
Xue Ying had a special feeling for the intersection of time and space at this moment, and every once in a while, she had the feeling of being in the ancient period, as if she was hearing a conversation between the ancients.
"It's now, everyone hurry up and get in, and the exit will open again at the same time in a month!"
