Chapter 165: Sixth?
Pulsatilla and Qingluo sat at the table, staring at each other speechlessly, as if they had been decades past. It's just that everything around is completely different from the past, the aura is so rich that it doesn't seem to be true, even the tables and chairs are made of fine wood, and they can be used as low-grade magic weapons with a little refining. But all this is just ordinary furnishings in the Sanqing Palace, and Pulsatilla and Qingluo are just new disciples in the Sanqing Palace.
Qingluo hooked a strand of long hair on her forehead, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said, "Old Bai, you said that we have been cultivating for almost a hundred years, how do you know now that cultivation can be so comfortable?"
Pulsatilla shook his head with a wry smile: "Hey, it's funny to say, when I was still in my humble cave mansion, I thought I was already mixing well, who knows, after coming to this Sanqing Palace, I knew that my previous life was really penance." ”
Qingluo burst out laughing: "It should be our luck, we can actually have the opportunity to worship under the Sanqing Palace, in order to enjoy such treatment, change to other sects, I don't know if we can enter it." ”
Sanqing Palace's selection of talents is unique, at the beginning, in the Star City, just by meeting and chatting a few words, he was able to draw up a list of disciples to recruit, so that all the scattered cultivators who participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference were a little dumbfounded, and they thought that they had met a swaggering person this time. But the Jindan monks on the table can't be faked, but they decided on the entry candidates so hastily, which still made most people a little confused.
However, when they stepped into the teleportation array, they felt a huge shock. After that, I came to Fangcun Mountain, experienced what is called a fairyland on earth, and realized how lucky I was.
"Hey, but speaking of which, that Gu Xiong is really lucky, he only came to the Fangcun Mountain District for a few months, and he was able to be promoted to Jindan, and since then he has been out of the ranks of ordinary disciples and has been on duty in the Foreign Affairs Hall. A look of envy appeared on Qingluo's face, and she said faintly.
Pulsatilla didn't have any envy: "This can only be said that the fate has arrived, when that Gu Xiong was on the edge of the North Sea, he was a famous scattered cultivator within a radius of thousands of miles." Traveling the world with a pair of children, you can still practice smoothly to the consummation of foundation building, which is much stronger than those of us who are bored and ascetic. And he's not very old, twenty years younger than us, and he has a bright future!"
Qingluo sighed: "I'm just talking, there is envy, but it's more of a sense of urgency." We have been here for almost a year in the Sanqing Palace, and even those outer disciples have many of them who have entered the Qi cultivation period, and our cultivation has not made much progress. I'm afraid that I'll be chased after me, won't I be laughed at?"
Pulsatilla pondered for a while and said, "You're just worrying too much. Our Sanqing Palace is not like those ordinary sects, and it does not pay attention to how profound the cultivation must be, as long as the age is reached, there is naturally an opportunity to cultivate intensively, which is not in a hurry. Besides, the elixir and spirit stones distributed in the palace are not small, even if everyone has to bear a certain errand, it is also a matter of drought and flood to ensure income, and there will definitely be nothing wrong. ”
Qingluo nodded: "I'm not complaining about anything, I'm just anxious, our cultivation is similar, you are just half a point higher than me." But that Gu Xiong just has more opportunities than us, why hasn't our opportunity come yet?"
Pulsatilla's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of what he can achieve, and like Gu Xiong, he is just a kick at the door of the Jindan period, but he can't always step on it, and he has been hovering on the threshold for several years. If it weren't for his calm mind, he would probably have collapsed and given up a long time ago.
Qingluo is okay, there is still room for cultivation to rise, but there is not much space, and it will not be able to reach the peak of the foundation building period in a few months and not be able to make an inch. She was already anxious now, for fear that she would be like a pulsatilla, trapped on this threshold for I don't know how many years, which was the most torturous for a female cultivator like her.
She looked at the white hair of the pulsatilla, and her heart was worried. Pulsatilla was not called Pulsatilla before, he was dignified and handsome. It's just that because of a trivial matter, I had a quarrel with a sect monk who came out to practice, and I was framed and lost a lot of my lifespan, so I ended up where I am now. And the reason for the discord was because of her Qingluo, so Qingluo decided that Pulsatilla was her true son at that time. But Pulsatilla because his appearance is old and his lifespan is not much, so he has rejected Qingluo again and again, just maintaining a confidant relationship with Qingluo, and not going deep, for fear that he will one day exhaust his life, leaving Qingluo alone to stand alone, it is too cruel.
Qingluo said: "Hey, Lao Bai, you 。。。。。。 You still have more than ten years left in your life, right? The foundation building monk only has a hundred and twenty years of life, and if you don't hurry up, you can 。。。。。。 She couldn't say the following words, although her heart was cramping, but she still had to pretend to be calm on her face.
Pulsatilla smiled indifferently: "Everyone has a life, maybe I am such a fate." No matter how anxious I am, it may be even more futile? ”
The two men fell silent for a moment.
This kind of conversation is not only between Qingluo and Pulsatilla, but also between the rest of the new disciples, but the rest of the people may not be as tortuous as what these two people have experienced, but there is no lack of anxiety.
Qin Guan is still well aware of all the movements in the palace, and if such an anxious atmosphere is used properly, it may be an encouragement. But he saw that a few disciples were so anxious that they almost went mad, and their cultivation had regressed by half a point, so he felt that he couldn't ignore it. But he still didn't know how to start with such a thing, after all, his cultivation was all feng shui, and he had cultivated to the Jindan stage without even having a threshold. And the threshold of the Jindan period was also passed without danger, and not too much time was wasted.
However, he has no way, it doesn't mean that the rest of the people in the Sanqing Palace can't do it. For example, Gu Qinfang, the person with the highest cultivation in the Sanqing Palace and the most enthusiastic about cultivation, proposed a solution to Qin Guan, which was to let these restless disciples find a skill and calm down to meditate. In this way, no matter how anxious you are, you can be relieved. And Gu Qinfang himself, who also had such a period of time, wanted to practice hard, but his cultivation could not make an inch, but fortunately, he inadvertently practiced painting, and was able to calm down in the splashing of ink and was promoted to the Jindan period.
Qin Guan heard this, this method is good, and the two Jindan female cultivators in the palace are also experts in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are much more elegant than the rest of the elder coarse, which is just used to nourish the mind and calm the qi, and it also saves these disciples from being too anxious and harming their own cultivation.
The time of a person in practice is always measured in years, and a retreat may be a few years, but this is only for people who are not in a high realm. If it is a monk who is in the upper stage of Jindan, the ascetic can continue to retreat for twenty or thirty years, and he will not go out without breaking through. The disciples of the Sanqing Palace have been cultivating hard year after year, striving to form a golden pill as soon as possible, which is their greatest vision.
Perhaps because of the disappearance of a dark leader of Lingyin Building, the Foreign Affairs Hall led by Luo Nan often went out to inquire about the news, and even one of the three times he could meet someone from Lingyin Building, and he thought that the north altar of Lingyin Building was provoked by Sanqing Palace, and he made a wish to wipe out Sanqing Palace. And you have to find the traces of the people on the cliff, after all, it is a person who has mastered a lot of secrets of the Lingyin Building, even if you run away without permission and want to get out of the Lingyin Building, you have to find the person by digging three feet into the ground, otherwise the news of the Lingyin Building is revealed, and it must be difficult to have a place in the North Sea. Moreover, there are dozens of large and small sects controlled by Lingyin Lou in private, and there are almost hundreds of thousands of monks in total. Such a large group of monks, if they are all like the people on the cliff who can't see people alive or dead, wouldn't it be difficult for the master of the North Altar to do it. Therefore, he sent a lot of meticulous spies out to investigate, and further instigated the struggle between the Chongxumen and the Lingying Sect, which caused the Beihai cultivation world to be very chaotic, so as to fish in troubled waters.
"Palace Master, if we continue like this, the people of Lingyin Tower will turn Beihai upside down, and we will have no place to stand. Even if the Gu Deputy Palace Master is promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage, we don't dare to rashly show off the signboard!" Luo Nan took Jia Yi and the others to report the news to Qin Guan.
Qin Guan touched his nose and said, "This is a problem, what is the purpose of this Lingyin Tower's people stirring up the Beihai Sea? Although they want to bring all the resources of the overseas cultivation world into their hands, just muddying the water will not achieve their goal." ”
Gu Xiong hesitated at this time, walked out from behind Luo Nan, and said to Qin Guan with his hand: "Palace Master, my subordinates have a little idea. ”
Qin Guan said with a pleasant face: "Gu Xiong, you don't have to claim to be a subordinate, they are all a family, just speak directly." Our Sanqing Palace doesn't have the rules of other sects. ”
Gu Xiong said at this time: "Palace Master, after the chaos in this Beihai comes, even if there are many people dead, it will not attract the attention of others." In this way, wouldn't it be easier for the people of the Lingyin Building to secretly include loose cultivation like me in the applause as before? Could this be the reason why they had to make the Beihai cultivation world chaotic? In order to expand their own strength? Moreover, if they speculated deeply, maybe their appetite was even greater, maybe there were some small and medium-sized sects, and even the main sects would be infiltrated and controlled by the Lingyin Building in this wave of chaos, and finally become lackeys?"
Qin Guan and Luo Nan glanced at each other, their eyes froze, and Qin Guan said in a deep voice: "It's not that this possibility is impossible, and the possibility is indeed not small." I think you also know that when Shen Da and the others went to Xingxing City to recruit disciples, they met a group of disciples of the Lingying Sect on the way, although they were not any inner disciples, but they were all subordinates of Lingyin Tower. It's really hard to imagine that even one of the five major sects in Beihai is at risk of being infiltrated. I don't know what will happen to our Sanqing Palace?"
However, Luo Nan was much more optimistic: "Palace Master, our Sanqing Palace is different from the Lingying Sect, the Lingying Sect is a gate sect that has been operating for more than a thousand years, and there are tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, and it is not difficult to come and get in." Even the high-level real power faction may sell out the interests of the door because of selfish interests. But our Sanqing Palace is different, not only because the Jindan elders in our palace are all innocent people, even if they are newly recruited disciples, they are also screened, and those who can enter Fangcun Mountain are all safe people, and they will not leak into a sieve like the Lingying faction. ”
"Only. He paused, "Palace Master, although we think that there are a lot of people from the Lingyin Building mixed in the Lingying Sect, and it is even possible that the Lingying Sect is a card on the surface of the Lingyin Building, but we really don't have any evidence to prove this matter, and the testimony of Zhu Yang and the others alone is not enough to explain it." And now it's useless to talk about these things, Chongxumen and the Lingying Sect have already played a real fire, and they won't give up if they don't fight to the death, and Lie Yutang originally wanted to be a peacemaker, but now he also left it alone, for fear of being caught in the whirlpool. There are still Bishan and Ten Thousand Demon Valley eyeing each other outside, should we also come up with a charter now, so as to win some benefits for my Sanqing Palace in this chaos?"
Qin Guan hesitated for a moment and asked, "But the strength of our Sanqing Palace is indeed weak now, and it can't even compare to the Pishan Mountain and the Ten Thousand Demon Valley among the five major sects, how can we fight for benefits?"
At this time, Jia Yi said: "Palace master, hall master, these five major sects are sects, but in fact, the Lingying sect and the Chongxu sect are monk sects. And Lie Yutang is just a force gathered by some chambers of commerce, and its own financial resources are outstanding, but its strength is inferior. And the Bishan and the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons are even more unbearable, one is a place where ghosts and monsters gather, and the other is a place where the demon cultivation tribe gathers, it can't be called a sect at all, and it can't even be compared to the Imperial Hall, so it's not a cause for concern. It's just that among these sects, there are also a few Yuanying Monks who exist, although they often don't show up, but when it comes to life and death, it is impossible for those Yuanying Monks to continue to hide, and they will definitely come forward to stop the invasion of other sects. And our Sanqing Palace, what is most lacking now is not the low-level disciples, but the high-end combat power, if there is a Yuanying monk, we can already be regarded as the sixth largest force in the North Sea, except for the elusive Lingyin Building, other sects will not do anything to us at this juncture. ”
