Volume 1 Demon Sword Chapter 22 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Xia Chun followed the great elder all the way to the sword, and he could feel the grandeur of the Qi Gathering Hall from afar, the prosperity of the main hall, the prosperity of the people, since it was different from the Xiaoyao Palace, and flew a distance, and suddenly saw two big stone lions squatting at the door of the main hall, three beast head gates, and there were more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the door, but the main gate was not opened, only the east and west corner doors had people in and out. There is a plaque above the main entrance, and the plaque has three big characters of "Gathering Qi Palace".
Xia Chun thought, "This Qi Gathering Hall is really worthy of being the place of the Great Elder. Thinking about it, I continued to move forward, not far away, it is still three gates, the main hall of the Qi Gathering Palace, the main gate looks out, the bucket tile loach ridge above, the door and window, are all finely carved fresh patterns, and there is no vermilion powder decoration, a color of water mill group wall, below the white stone platform, chiseled into passionflower pattern. Looking left and right, all are snow-white stone powder walls, and the bottom is full of tiger skin stones, and they are built with the momentum. Looking ahead, I saw the white stone, or like a ghost, or like a beast, arched vertically and horizontally, with moss spots on it, covered with vines, and the bluestone slab path was slightly exposed. Entering the courtyard, I saw the beautiful trees and green onions, the strange flowers were shining, and a clear stream flowed from the depths of the flowers and trees to the stone gaps. A few steps further, gradually to the north, flat and wide, both sides of the flying building plugged in the air, carved embroidered sill, all hidden between the mountain trees. Looking down at it, then the clear stream is pouring snow, the stone pierces the clouds, the white stone is the column, the edge of the pond is embraced, the stone bridge is three ports, the beast face is spitting, and there is a pavilion on the bridge. But he did not enter the main gate, but entered the west corner gate. The Great Elder directly raised his feet and entered, Xia Chun hurriedly followed, Xia Chun, who had been in Xiao Se's Xiaoyao Hall for a long time, felt very curious about this magnificent everything, and kept looking around, looking extremely excited, and the disciples behind were also very curious about the new Xia Chun, and hurried forward.
"Great Elder, your Qi Gathering Hall is much more majestic than our Joyful Palace. Xia Chun's eyes have never rested all the way through, and he has no ability to resist this beautiful scenery.
"Haha, Xia Chunna, you will have time to watch in the future, you must know that the Xiaoyao Hall back then was much more luxurious than my Qi Gathering Palace, and you will treat this as your own home in the future, don't have the slightest restraint." The Great Elder was not surprised at all by Xia Chun's reaction, every disciple who had been in the Hall of Joy for a long time had such a reaction when he came to the Hall of Gathering Qi.
"Well, Great Elder, where does the disciple live? This Qi Gathering Hall is so big, I'm afraid of getting lost. Xia Chun scratched his head embarrassedly, his sense of direction was too poor, if he walked around in this Qi Gathering Hall alone, he might not be able to find his way back.
"Come, come with me, and I will take you to the disciple's dwelling. The Great Elder kindly led Xia Chun to the apse. It may be because of the relationship between the Great Elder and the Sixth Elder that he is so kind to Xia Chun, or it may be because of Xia Chun's potential, the Great Elder does not participate in the open and secret battles of the Nine Swords Sect, and is bent on developing the sect, he only cares about whether it is beneficial to the Nine Swords Sect, as long as the disciples with good potential can be taken care of well in the Great Elder.
"Eh, who do you say this female disciple is making the Great Elder so happy?" the group of disciples who followed behind couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"It is said that he is a disciple of the Xiaoyao Temple. ”
"Haha, I thought it was who?"
"My Qi Gathering Hall is not a place where you can stay in the Freedom Palace, give her some color. ”
"Hehe, that's what I mean. "After knowing that Xia Chun was a disciple of the Xiaoyao Palace, these disciples became a little unscrupulous.
Xia Chun heard the conversation of this group of people, and he didn't know what this group of people were going to do to himself, it seemed that this path of cultivation in the Qi Gathering Hall would not be so dull.
"Girl, as soon as you came in with your front foot, you made an enemy, and you have some fun these days. The Sword Demon teased Xia Chun, not at all worried about what those people would do to Xia Chun.
"Hmph! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, just to add some fun to my boring monastic life. ”
.......
"Come, Xia Chun, the front is the usual residence of the disciples, but you can't live here, come with me. The Great Elder pointed to a courtyard in front of him.
"Ah, Great Elder, why don't I stay here, it's good to be with my brothers and sisters. "To be honest, Xia Chun still hopes to live with those disciples, so that it will be more convenient for them to come to find trouble for themselves.
"After all, you were sent by that old man, I want to ensure your safety, I know better than anyone else about the disciples of my Qi Gathering Hall, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, if you live in it, then you can pay it back." "The Great Elder knows the disciples of the Qi Gathering Hall well, so he doesn't plan to let Xia Chun live here.
"It's okay, I think life has to be a little challenging to be interesting, otherwise it would be boring, Great Elder, you have to believe me, don't forget that I am now a ninth-order primordial god refining realm powerhouse, hehe. ”
"Okay, okay, okay! I can't help you, you can choose a yard first. ”
"Oh yes, Great Elder, there are some empty courtyards here. Xia Chun saw that the Great Elder had agreed to live here, and his heart was full of expectations.
"Huh, you see, the courtyard here represents disciples of different strengths from top to bottom, and the foot of the mountain is the residence of ordinary disciples, the higher you go, the stronger the strength of the disciples, and the courtyard on the top of the mountain is the residence of the first disciple of my Qi Gathering Palace, Lingfeng," said the Great Elder suddenly sighed, and continued, "Eh, but then the world suddenly evaporated, no one knows his whereabouts, life and death are unknown, but unfortunately, he is also a ninth-order primordial god." ”
"Great Elder, don't be sad, Senior Sister will definitely be fine," Xia Chun also comforted the Great Elder at the right time, "By the way, Great Elder, is there anyone living there now?"
"No one lives, no one dares to live, she was the leader among the disciples of my Qi Gathering Hall back then, even if she is gone, no one dares to disrespect her. ”
Tears flashed in the Great Elder's eyes, after all, he treated Lingfeng as if it were his own child, and this sudden disappearance was also a little unacceptable to him.
"Great Elder, I have a reluctant request, I want to live there, is it okay?" Xia Chun arched his hand.
"En, do you want to live in Lingfeng?" The Great Elder's eyes were full of doubts, he didn't understand what Xia Chun was doing, the Great Elder hesitated for a few breaths, and slowly spoke, "Okay, it's empty and empty, it's okay for you to live in, but if you do this, you will be targeted by all the disciples of the Qi Gathering Hall, you have to think about it carefully." ”
"I've thought it through, Grand Elder. ”
"Alright then, I'll take you to meet the disciples of the Qi Gathering Hall first. ”
The Great Elder instructed the disciples to assemble in the martial arts arena.
On the way to the martial arts arena, the Great Elder patiently introduced Xia Chun to several of the more powerful disciples of the Qi Gathering Palace, "I have countless disciples in the Qi Gathering Hall, if you want to talk about strength, of course Lingfeng must be ranked first, and Piaoxue is second, she reached the level of an eighth-order primordial god five years ago, and her strength is also outstanding among the disciples, you have to be careful, but she usually doesn't care about the competition for fame and fortune among the disciples, she is dedicated to cultivation, and only thinks about surpassing the spiritual wind." After the drifting snow are Lingnan and Liu Yang, these two people broke through to the realm of refining gods a year ago, and both of them are seventh-order primordial gods, tied for third, these two people have very small hearts, and they can't tolerate a little sand in their eyes. ”
"Great Elder, is the ranking among the disciples divided by strength?" Xia Chun interrupted.
"Speaking of which, I forgot to tell you, there is an alchemy list in the Qi Gathering Palace, and there are only a hundred places on this alchemy list, and all the disciples want to have a place on this alchemy list. There are also rules in this, that is, low-ranked ones can skip the ranks to challenge high-ranked, but high-ranked ones can't take the initiative to challenge low-ranking ones, and can only passively fight, which can be regarded as indirect protection of disciples with lower strength. ”
"In that case, Great Elder, how many disciples of the God Refining Realm are there in this Qi Gathering Hall. ”
"I know what you're thinking, so you can arrange how to challenge this alchemy list for yourself."
"Hehe, after all, I have just broken through to the refining of gods, and I can't afford to provoke me if my strength is too strong. Being seen through by the Great Elder, his face was full of embarrassment.
"The total number of disciples in my Qi Gathering Hall is more than three thousand, but most of the disciples are stuck in the Qi Transformation Realm, and there are only two hundred disciples in the God Refining Realm. ”
"Wow, there are so many God Refining Realm powerhouses, so how should I challenge. Xia Chun was still given to Xia Zhi by this number, and now he understands why the previous disciples spoke out after knowing that they were Xiaoyao Palace, after all, the disciples of Xiaoyao Hall counted themselves as only ten, and those in the realm of refining gods were only one, how could they compare with the Qi Gathering Palace.
"In addition to the rankings of the one hundred alchemy lists, that is the ranking of the thousand alchemy lists, and this alchemy list is below this alchemy list, but there is a variable in this alchemy list, that is, there is a disciple of the Qi Transformation Realm. ”
"What? A person in the Qi Transformation Realm can enter the alchemy list of the powerhouses of the God Refining Realm? Isn't it said that there is a world of difference between the Qi Transformation Realm and the God Refining Realm?"
"You're right, but, that disciple is quite special, that is, he doesn't cultivate with spiritual power, but with his physical body, and his physical body is extremely terrifying, and ordinary disciples in the God Refining Realm can't break through his defenses. ”
"Cultivating the flesh, that's a relatively old way of cultivating, this way is more difficult to progress, but the strength is very terrifying, you can skip the level or even kill people by two levels, I have only seen this kind of person before I ascended, I didn't expect this kind of genius to have this kind of genius in this Qi Gathering Palace, it's amazing." The sword demon's voice came out suddenly.
"How strong is the cultivation body?" Xia Chun didn't respond to what the Sword Demon said, but secretly remembered it in his heart.
"Let me tell you this, the attacks of ordinary cultivators in the God Refining Realm cannot break through the defenses on the surface of his body, but he also has a disadvantage, that is, he cannot use spiritual power outside his body, that is to say, he cannot use long-distance spiritual power attacks. ”
"That's okay, I thought such a person was really invincible. ”
"Then don't underestimate him, he is ranked eightieth on the alchemy list with the strength of the Qi Transformation Realm, and you will meet him sooner or later. ”
"Then I won't release water, I must defeat this person!" Xia Chun swore an oath.
......
In the martial arts training field, there were three thousand disciples, and the scene was extremely huge, which made Xia Chun's pressure increase sharply.
"Silence!" the Great Elder stretched out his hand to signal the disciples below to be quiet.
