Chapter 8-for-tat
Following behind Elder Mu Yun, a group of young men came to the foot of a mountain. The Qingxiao Sword Sect is the only martial arts sect within a radius of 10,000 miles, and its interior covers an extremely vast area. Within the sect, there are not only all kinds of buildings with different styles, but even mountains and rivers, like an independent small world.
In fact, the Qingxiao Sword Sect was a super giant thousands of years ago, and its foundation strength was extremely profound. It's just that now it has declined and has been reduced to a second-rate sect.
But even so, the Qingxiao Sword Sect still retained a lot of inheritance. At least within this radius, it has a supreme position.
Everyone came to the foot of the mountain, and Ning Xuanyuan looked up. I saw the mountain peaks in front of me towering into the clouds, and standing in front of them, people felt like the mountains were looking up. The mountainside is shrouded in clouds and mist, and some buildings can be faintly seen, like a beautiful picture.
Ning Xuanyuan's eyes couldn't help but glow with a touch of shock. Growing up on the modern earth, where has he ever seen such a fairyland-like place. On Earth, with the development of technology, the natural environment has been destroyed to an outrageous level. Sooner or later, humanity will pay a terrible price for its greed.
"From today onwards, you are the outer disciples of the Qingxiao Sword Sect. And this is where you go about your daily life. Elder Mu Yun, who was walking in front of everyone, stopped, then pointed ahead and spoke.
Ning Xuanyuan looked in the direction of Elder Mu Yun's finger, and his face suddenly froze. At the foot of the hill ahead, there is a row of simple thatched huts. The mountain wind is howling and shaking, giving people a sense of crumbling. People can't help but worry about whether the wind will be blown down if the wind is stronger.
"Isn't it?Elder Muyun, we usually live in this kind of place?" Pang Zi looked ahead a little dumbfounded, and then grinned. And the other teenagers couldn't help but complain at this time. This kind of environment is very different from what they imagined.
"Quiet. Elder Mu Yun flicked his robe and shouted coldly. Suddenly, the gossiping teenagers were silenced, but there was still a dissatisfied expression on their faces.
"This is the Qingxiao Sword Sect, not your own family. If you are not satisfied with the conditions here, you can leave now. Elder Mu Yun said coldly.
When many teenagers heard this, they were silent. They finally passed the three rounds of assessment and became official sect disciples, how could they give up so easily.
"Elder Muyun. Ning Xuanyuan glanced into the distance, and then asked. "I see that those thatched huts are empty, do we mean that we are the only ones who live there, and where do the other brothers live?"
"It's ridiculous, you're a newcomer who has just started, do you want to compare with us old men?" A voice came, and the person who spoke was none other than the outer disciple who had been angered by Ning Xuanyuan before.
This person's name is Chen Zifan, and he is quite strong among the outer disciples. In the second round of assessment, Ning Xuanyuan made him look dull, so he spoke sarcastically at this time.
"This senior brother. Ning Xuanyuan looked at Chen Zifan, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant. "According to what you said, the treatment of the disciples of the Qingxiao Sword Sect is not based on seniority, but as far as I know, within the sect, strength has always been respected, right?"
After reading so many novels in his previous life, Ning Xuanyuan naturally knew that in this kind of world where martial arts are respected, strength has always been paramount. As for status, it can't be said useless, but at least it doesn't matter.
"Hmph!" Chen Zifan snorted coldly, looked at Ning Xuanyuan with cold eyes and said. "You are right about this, within the sect, strength is respected. The stronger the strength, the better the treatment enjoyed. As for seniority.......
A look of disdain flashed in Chen Zifan's eyes, and he said arrogantly: "Do you think you have the qualifications to compare with us old men?"
Ning Xuanyuan smiled when he heard this, and did not show annoyance, but said lightly: "I'm just a new disciple, I just entered the sect today, if I can compare with my senior brother now, then my senior brother's cultivation over the years will inevitably be too wasteful." ”
When the people around heard this, their eyes suddenly froze. Ning Xuanyuan's tone was quite flat, but in a simple sentence, there was an air of arrogance,-for-tat, which was extremely obvious.
Pang Zi's face changed suddenly, and he quietly pulled Ning Xuanyuan's sleeve. That Chen Zifan's strength is not bad, he has just entered the sect, and his heels have not yet stood firm, if he offends these veteran disciples, he is afraid that these newcomers will suffer.
Chen Zifan's eyes suddenly narrowed, a cold light flashed under his eyes, he stared at Ning Xuanyuan coldly, suddenly smiled, and said, "Ning Xuanyuan, interesting, I remember you." ”
"That's your pleasure. Ning Xuanyuan glanced at Chen Zifan, just an outer disciple, he would not despise it, but there was no need to be afraid. Besides, with Elder Mu Yun present, could he still dare to deal with himself blatantly?
"Elder Mu Yun, I see that there are still many pavilions on this mountain, can't we live there?" Ning Xuanyuan no longer paid attention to Chen Zifan, turned his head to look at Elder Mu Yun, and asked.
Elder Mu Yun looked at Ning Xuanyuan, and his face was filled with interest. He is the outer elder of the sect, and he is responsible for the assessment of new disciples in each session. Over the years, I have also seen many arrogant people. After all, being able to pass the layers of assessments and become an official disciple of the Qingxiao Sword Sect is naturally not bad, and he does have the capital to be proud of.
However, no matter how high the talent is, they will know it after entering the sect. Their little talent is not enough to support their pride. Every time a newcomer enters, the old disciples will suppress them for various reasons. For this situation, the sect knows it in his heart, but he closes his eyes and closes his eyes, as long as he doesn't make too much trouble, he won't ask.
Because this is also equivalent to a kind of tempering in disguise, which can let these arrogant little guys know that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky.
Ning Xuanyuan can be said to have the best results among the newcomers in this class, but he is also the most arrogant. During the assessment, he dared to provoke the veteran disciples, and now that he had just entered the sect, he confronted Chen Zifan-for-tat and refused to let him go.
A little guy who has not yet formally cultivated and has not even stepped into the realm of self-cultivation, where does this self-confidence come from?
"Absolutely. Elder Mu Yun suppressed what he was thinking, then looked at Ning Xuanyuan and said. "However, you need to fight for it yourself!"
"Fight for it yourself?" Ning Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, and his expression was puzzled. "How to fight?"
"Of course, it is based on strength. Elder Mu Yun said in a deep voice. "Within the sect, the cultivation resources are extremely rich, but if you want to obtain them, you must have extraordinary strength. In the Qingxiao Sword Sect, everything speaks with strength. If you want to get a better cultivation environment and resources, you have to work hard to get it yourself. ”
"From here, the higher you go, the better the living environment will be, and the more cultivation resources you can enjoy. However, you need to rely on your own strength to get it all. ”
"In this mountain range, all the outer disciples of the Qingxiao Sword Sect live. But in addition to them, there are also a large number of demon beasts. Those demon beasts, the higher they go, the stronger they are. Wherever you want to live, you have to go there on your own. And challenge the original owner of that dwelling. As long as the challenge is successful, you can get everything from the loser, including the cultivation resources he enjoys. ”
Ning Xuanyuan slowly exhaled a breath and understood. In the Qingxiao Sword Sect, if you want to enjoy any treatment, you have to fight and grab it yourself. The rules are simple and direct, rough and domineering. The strong are high, and the weak are as humble as ants. But it has to be said that this kind of incentive is the most effective.
"Do you all understand?" Elder Mu Yun's gaze swept over the many teenagers in the field, his eyes sharp. "You are now a disciple of the Qingxiao Sword Sect, and your previous identity and background are penniless here. If you want to get it, you can grab it yourself. As long as your strength is strong enough, everything in the sect can be taken and desired. On the contrary, if you are a waste, then you only deserve to live in this kind of place, and no one will pity you. ”
"Understood. Many teenagers nodded their heads, their eyes faintly fiery flashing. Young and frivolous, they should be enthusiastic, the reason why they want to enter the Qingxiao Sword Sect is naturally to become strong. Elder Mu Yun's words not only did not make them feel resigned, but instead aroused the fighting spirit in their hearts.
"Ning Xuanyuan. A voice came, and Chen Zifan's gaze fell on Ning Xuanyuan's body, with a proud expression. Even if you do well in the exam, it doesn't mean anything. Now you only deserve to live in this kind of place. ”
Ning Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, he looked at Chen Zifan, and immediately grinned: "That's right, I can only live at the foot of the mountain now, but so what? One day I will leave here and go higher and farther than you." It's you, who are now proud and high-spirited in front of me, but if one day, when I challenge you, I'm afraid you will have no face to see people. ”
"This guy is really arrogant. Many eyes looked at Ning Xuanyuan, and in the face of Chen Zifan, he didn't back down at all. Was he really confident, or was he too arrogant?
"Idiot!" Zhou Xuan in the crowd said coldly, not hiding his voice. A disciple who has just started dares to confront the old man head-on, what is it if he is not a fool?
Chen Zifan's expression was extremely cold at this time, and then he nodded slightly.
"Challenge me? Okay, I'll wait for you. I hope you can hurry up, otherwise, after I become an inner disciple, you won't have that chance. ”
This mountain is only the abode of the outer disciples, and they will leave after being promoted to the inner disciples.
"Don't worry, it won't be long. Ning Xuanyuan smiled lightly, and his smile was full of strong confidence.
