Chapter 164: Magic

Gu Xiong's way of dealing with the people on the cliff was a little cruel, but Qin Guan couldn't control it anymore, and he didn't want to care about it, after all, this was revenge, and the resentment in his heart had been held back for more than ten years. Moreover, Qin Guan is not a person of the Holy Mother, and he still has pity for a person who is full of evil. According to his thoughts, it is not a pity for the people on the cliff to die, and Gu Xiong has great potential, exchanging a worthless person for a loyal disciple of the sect, this transaction is a big profit for Qin Guan.

Gu Xiong also did not live up to Qin Guan's trust, and after solving the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for a long time, the bottleneck of cultivation, which had lacked a little opportunity, was actually solved like this, and the cultivation suddenly entered the Jindan stage from the foundation building, and the process was a little incredible, which made the rest of the monks of the Sanqing Palace a little envious in their hearts.

Min Hui said to Gu Qinfang a little sourly: "Second sister, why did people enter the Jindan period so smoothly, they just slaughtered an enemy, closed a pass, and broke through the bottleneck so easily." Once I came here, I went into retreat for two years in a row before I could be regarded as entering the Jindan stage from the foundation building, which is really a bit unfair!"

Gu Qinfang was playing against Liao Xingchen, he didn't raise his eyes to look at Min Hui, he twisted a chess piece and thought for a while, and then said lightly: "People have greater potential than you, and they work harder than you." You don't want to think about how much thought and energy it took me and your eldest brother to enter the Jindan stage from the time you introduced qi into your body to now. But if you look at other people, with two children, you can still practice hard all the way for decades, neither delaying the future of your own children nor delaying your own practice, you are embarrassed to compare with others. ”

Liao Xingchen smiled and said, "I said third brother, don't be sour, no matter what, you are dozens of years older than him, why are you still like a child who can't grab candy to eat." If you feel that your cultivation is about to be caught up by others, what is the reason for you to work hard to cultivate and complain about the rapid entry of others here?"

Min Hui sighed, his brothers and sisters didn't comfort him, and they spoke for others, which really broke his heart, but there was no way, he was still sighing, it was better to hurry up and cultivate as soon as possible. If you wait until others really catch up with you, you won't be able to say anything at that time, and your face will be lost.

Qin Guan had been prepared for Gu Xiong's breakthrough for a long time, and when he first met Gu Xiong, he noticed that his mood hindered the breakthrough of cultivation, and it was even more difficult to break through after being depressed for a long time. The people on the cliff were caught by the people of the Sanqing Palace this time, and it was also a coincidence, just to solve Gu Xiong's mental depression, after this barrier was swept away, Gu Xiong was naturally able to enter the golden pill period, and there was no need for extra external force to add it, the condensed golden pill was large and round, and the spiritual power contained in it was much richer than that of ordinary monks.

Since Gu Xiong has entered the Jindan stage, and although his age is not large, he is also twice as much as the three generations of disciples, according to Qin Guan's thoughts, age is the difference between the disciples of different sects in the Sanqing Palace, not just the cultivation realm. Therefore, Qin Guan listed Gu Xiong as a new second-generation elder to work in Luo Nan's Foreign Affairs Hall.

Seeing that Gu Xiong had only joined the Sanqing Palace for less than half a year, he was able to have such a big entry, and the rest of the hundreds of scattered cultivation disciples who entered the Sanqing Palace together all expressed envy, and there was very little jealousy, after all, when they had not joined the Sanqing Palace, they were famous figures among the scattered cultivators, even if they did not join the Sanqing Palace, they would be able to enter the Jindan period in a few decades. However, they didn't understand that if Sanqing Palace hadn't captured the people on the cliff this time, Gu Xiong might have been suppressed by the hatred in his heart for the rest of his life in the foundation building period, and he would not be able to advance an inch.

Gu Xiong's formation of the Jindan this time also had a huge repercussion among the outer disciples, and it was also an incentive for them, after all, they were all people who entered the Sanqing Palace at the same time, although they had practiced decades earlier than them, but if they could also be promoted to Jindan monks within a few decades, then the lifespan would be hundreds of years longer, and this life would be worth it.

To Qin Guan's surprise, Gu Xiong's exemplary behavior this time really stimulated a wave of enthusiasm for cultivation among the disciples, and even more than a dozen old inner disciples said that they could not fall behind Gu Xiong, and began to cultivate more diligently.

The double happiness is that after Yu Rou took action to solve the pollen toxin in Song Lian and Shoujing's bodies, Song Lian and Shoujing were already on the threshold of the Jindan period, and they were only one foot away from the door, and after more than two months of retreat, they entered the Jindan stage one after another. At this moment, among the three generations of disciples, there were two Jindan early stage monks, and for the rest of the disciples, it was another shock. And what's even worse than Gu Xiong's time is that Shoujing and Song Lian have been with them day and night for decades, they know each other very well, and their feelings are also very deep, since Shoujing and Song Lian can be trapped in a year without cultivation, and then break through the golden pill, then how can people who have not encountered any disasters for so long be able to lag behind?

After Shoujing and Song Lian stepped into the Jindan period, they came to the council hall and met with Qin Guan and other elders. Seeing the two disciples so promising, even Qin Guan couldn't help but sigh and said: "At the beginning, I asked you to follow a few elders to the Star City to recruit disciples, so that you could see the trivial matters of Hongchen, so as to pave the way for your promotion to the Jindan period in the future." Unexpectedly, it actually caused you to encounter such a strange thing, delayed for more than a year and nearly two years. But fortunately, God is pitiful, after all, it is the emperor who pays off, your efforts have not been in vain, and the past two years have been hard, and there is finally a harvest. ”

After sighing for a while, helping the two of them up, Qin Guan said again: "Since you are now a Jindan monk, then you can take on the miscellaneous affairs of the sect, and you can no longer claim to be an ordinary disciple like before." ”

Shou Jing and Song Lian said yes, waiting for Qin Guan to assign them to be in charge of something.

Qin Guan touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and first said to Shoujing, who had a calm face: "Shoujing, as the third generation of my Sanqing Palace's eldest disciple, you have more responsibilities than anyone else. And you are a role model for these disciples, even Yu Wei, who entered the Jindan stage one step ahead of you, can also be used as an example for you. It's not a light burden on your shoulders. In this way, I also know your temperament, be cautious, although your behavior is square, but there is no lack of flexibility, it is very suitable to help Elder Qingxuan. Qingxuan, you see I'll hand over Shoujing to you first, what do you think?"

Although Qing Xuan's cultivation was only in the middle stage of Jindan, he was not outstanding among the Jindan elders, and he was also older when he entered cultivation, so his potential was much worse. But among these Jindan elders, his prestige was beyond the reach of all Jindan elders, after all, the nickname of "Elder Iron Mask" was widely circulated among the disciples.

Qing Xuan stood up and bowed and said, "Obey the palace master's decree." ”

Then he said to Shoujing: "Shoujing, since you have now entered the Jindan period, the palace requires you to follow me to practice in the Discipline Hall, and you must abide by the door rules in the future, otherwise the punishment will be doubled." ”

Although the tone was not particularly harsh, the words that came out still made the people present murmur in their hearts: "I didn't expect that Qingxuan, this person, could speak like this to the most valued disciple of the palace master in front of the palace master, and he was really ruthless." ”

Shoujing's face was very calm, and after saying yes, he stood behind Qing Xuan, not affected by Qing Xuan's words in the slightest.

Qin Guan nodded with satisfaction, after all, he still had a little bit of caution, Shou Jing was his most optimistic successor, if he encountered something in the future and could not manage the Sanqing Palace, he would have to let Shou Jing come forward to rule the sect. If the Shoujing is arranged in other halls first, then it must be a little uncomfortable in the hearts of others, so it is better to arrange it directly in the most important precept hall in the sect. In this way, it not only shows Qin Guan's attitude, which is cultivated by Shoujing as his successor, but also because Qingxuan's person is old-fashioned and upright, and he will not have any tendencies, so Qin Guan is also the most assured here in Qingxuan.

The rest of the elders didn't say anything on the surface, but they also secretly wondered in private: "Is there any deep meaning in the palace master's arrangement?"

Qin Guan didn't care about the thoughts of the people present, nodded at Song Lian and said, "Song Lian, where do you think you are suitable to go?" He directly asked Song Lian's opinion this time, and he didn't have the same assignment as he did to Shoujing just now.

Song Lian lowered his head and thought for a while, then arched his hand and said, "Palace Master, I want to follow Elder Min to manage the treasury. ”

This was beyond Qin Guan's expectations, he also thought that Song Lian had grown up with his grandfather Song Dongshu since he was a child, and he had been immersed in alchemy for so long, so why did he have to choose the Alchemy Hall, how could he choose such a boring place as Min Hui's mansion.

Min Hui was also at a loss, and said in a lost voice: "Ah, you want to come to me?!" was patted on the shoulder by Gu Qinfang, and then said like a dream: "Song Lian, can I ask why?" and turned his head to look at Song Dongshu's face, but Song Dongshu smiled and didn't look angry at all.

Qin Guan also nodded and said, "I think everyone here also wants to know what you think, Song Lian, tell me." ”

Song Lian also said with a calm face as if he was quiet: "Palace Master, elders, although I have been following my grandfather for a long time, and I am also a beginner in alchemy, but I don't have a special talent in alchemy, and no matter how much time is consumed, I can't reach my grandfather's height, so it is better to go to the place I am interested in to learn." In the past two years of cultivation, I found that I was very interested in the number of techniques, and the one in the palace who had a little study of the number of techniques was Elder Min Hui, so I wanted to learn from Elder Min Hui. ”

Qin Guan nodded, he didn't expect that Song Lian, who had studied alchemy with Song Dongshu since he was a child, was not particularly interested in alchemy, but instead became interested in Min Hui's mathematics. Min Hui's technical and mathematical knowledge was not revealed much, and if Qin Guan had not fully understood what everyone in the sect was good at, he would definitely have ignored Min Hui's strengths.

The so-called arithmetic, in fact, is not only arithmetic, but also divination and qi, etc., which is a complex subject. And Min Hui's number of techniques is second to none in the Sanqing Palace, perhaps because this knowledge is too profound, and Min Hui's research time also takes up a lot of cultivation time, so Xiuwei ranks in the back row among the many elders of the Sanqing Palace.

Min Hui suddenly realized: "I said why did you always ask me some questions about the number of techniques a few days ago, and I still wondered, how to make alchemy and have to calculate the auspicious time, but I didn't expect you to be interested in the number of techniques." That's a good feeling.,Now I don't have to study it in the room by myself.,And you can help me do the math.,I think it's good.,That's good.。 ”

Qin Guan said with a smile: "Since Elder Min Hui has also agreed, then you can study under Elder Min Hui of the Mansion Treasury." However, we have to say it in advance, the number of techniques is vast and profound, and the knowledge contained in them is also very extensive, so don't delay your practice because you are obsessed with research. ”

Song Lian said yes and promised: "Palace Master, I will definitely not delay my cultivation, please rest assured." ”

Qin Guan nodded, expressing satisfaction, and then glanced at Min Hui again, smiling without saying a word.

Although his words were said to Song Lian on the surface, everyone who heard them knew that they also had a warning to Min Hui, after all, although Min Hui was among the many elders, his cultivation was not short, but his cultivation was not outstanding, and he even said that his progress was slow, and Qin Guan couldn't help but worry that he would be trapped in the realm of the middle stage of the Jindan for the rest of his life.

Min Hui blushed, sat in his seat for a long time and didn't speak, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Could it be that my current cultivation is so bad? Even the palace master is already about to warn me?"

Liao Xingchen and Gu Qinfang glanced at each other and sighed silently. Originally, Min Hui liked the number of techniques, and they all supported it, but they never thought that it would be extremely time-consuming to study the number of techniques, and it would take a day or two to deduce a simple matter, so Min Hui's cultivation has always been the slowest among the three of them. Moreover, when he was in Danghai City, Min Hui was the person in charge of most of the affairs in the Governor's Mansion, and he was unable to practice for a lot of time. Therefore, Liao Xingchen and Gu Qinfang also apologized a lot to Min Hui, but just because the two of them were spurring Min Hui behind, Min Hui still did not make an inch of progress as always. Well, now that Min Hui has arranged Song Lian by his side, he doesn't have to worry about Min Hui spending too much time studying alone, some simple calculations, just let Song Lian practice directly, and Min Hui will be able to have more time to cultivate, so that he won't be delayed for too much time in the middle of Jindan.
