Chapter 57: Forget Yourself
In the Infinite Valley, Qiu Ye stood in the square with his hands behind his back, and all kinds of resources had been piled up in front of him.
The battle situation changed like lightning, and the Infinite Valley was defeated in a hurry.
From Xu Tu's shock to being killed by a cute bear, it was just a matter of an instant, Jin Enming would never have imagined that Wuliang Gu would be defeated so completely in a flash.
The Infinite Valley is just an inconspicuous puppet sect under the feet of the Duobao Sect, even in the Eastern Tomb, a sect like them without a Yuanying Monk is not a powerful sect.
Garbage is garbage, but the Infinite Valley has been passed down for hundreds of years after all. As the old saying goes, a broken home is worth a lot!
Jin Enming fled in a hurry, only having time to take away the spirit stones in stock, and the remaining ten thousand belongings could only be left for the mountain gate as trophies.
Now these trophies honestly ran in front of Deacon Qiu, and when Qiu Ye saw it, his heart was already happy.
To say that there are actually no high-quality products among these trophies, they are just some ordinary materials that all sects will always have - magic weapons, spiritual weapons, materials and pills.
There are more than 1,000 disciples in the Infinite Valley, and if they want to maintain normal operation, the reserve of daily consumables is indispensable, and all kinds of items as task rewards must be prepared. No matter how frugal the Jin family father and son are, at most they are just pressing the price, but the things that should be prepared cannot be left unprepared, but who knows that in the end, they are cheaper than their opponents.
Qiu Ye swept around the resources on the ground, glanced at the more than twenty Qiu family disciples, and slowly spoke: "You have worked hard, this task has been completed well, and after you go back, the family will have another reward." β
There was a cheer from the crowd, and all the smiles of satisfaction were on their faces.
After the cheers stopped, Deacon Qiu continued: "Although this harvest is the blessing of the elders of our family who sacrificed their lives, we must also be careful, there are so many eyes watching outside, it has been overdone, and the face of the master is not good-looking!"
Everyone nodded yes.
"So, we have one last mission. Deacon Qiu's face suddenly became a little cold.
There was silence for a while, and under the gaze of everyone, Qiu Ye gave the order slowly but firmly:
"Enter the ruins! Dig the river! Flood the valley!"
γγγγγγ
"Senior brother, do you know that since the day I entered the Qingling Sect, all the ways of life have been blocked?" Li Xiaofei looked at Qian Yang with a sad face.
"Huh, how do you say that?" Qian Yang never expected that Li Xiaofei would be a heavy cannon as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li Xiaofei smiled bitterly: "I was born in a small family, and the situation of the family is not as good as day by day, there are only a dozen people left in the entire family, and the highest cultivation is only in the late stage of qi refining." Many years ago, the Qingling Sect had already begun to reduce the number of places allocated to my family year by year until it was completely abolished, and when it came to me, it happened to be the last one!"
"Before I came, the elders of my family looked forward to me, hoping that I could soar to the sky and revive the family. I also thought that I could get everything I wanted by working hard. Speaking of this, Li Xiaofei showed a wry smile: "But later I learned that from the day I joined the sect, going home was a doomed ending. β
"This ......" Qian Yang didn't know how to persuade him, and he held back for a long time before saying: "There is really no way to do this kind of thing, besides, it ...... now."
Li Xiaofei snorted and interrupted Qian Yang's words: "Qualifications? If the qualifications are really inferior to others, what else do I have to complain about?"
"Huh?" Qian Yang was stunned, Li Xiaofei's words greatly surprised him. Because in his impression, Li Xiaofei's ups and downs over the years are all in line with his mediocre qualifications. But today, looking at Li Xiaofei's meaning, he doesn't seem to agree with the biggest label on his head!
Confusion flashed in Li Xiaofei's eyes, and he continued, "Senior brother, do you think the entrance assessment of the Qingling Sect is fair?"
Qian Yang thought for a moment and replied: "I think it's okay! The rules are set there, twenty spirit stones, a year's time, even if you cultivate to the third level of qi refining, even if you pass the level, don't complain if you can't cultivate, this is already a rare fair thing in the world." β
"Twenty spirit stones?one year?three layers of qi refining?" Li Xiaofei shook his head: "Senior brother is naΓ―ve, these are not certain deaths." If there is only one thing that is truly condemned to death, it is that the sect is only ready to admit ten people every year. β
"Uh......" Qian Yang was stunned for a moment, and if he thought about it carefully, it might be true.
"Does it mean that with the resource reserves of the sect, it only plans to accept about ten people every year, so it has estimated a standard so that about ten disciples who participate in the assessment can pass?"
Li Xiaofei nodded: "That's right." β
"That's no problem!" Qian Yang's mind was still clear at this time: "Anyway, among those hundred people, if your qualifications can be ranked in the top ten, you can get started." β
Li Xiaofei smiled: "I originally thought it was the case, people have better qualifications than me, what do I have to complain about." But then I learned that the truth of the matter was not at all. β
"Huh, what do you say?" Qian Yang's eyes widened.
Li Xiaofei pursed his lips: "In fact, according to the current standards of the sect, it is impossible for the passing rate of disciples to participate in the assessment to reach one-tenth. Normally, if it takes twenty spirit stones to reach the third level of qi refining in a year, there will be at most three or four people out of a hundred people. And as far as I know, that year, there were only three disciples who really passed the assessment by their own qualifications, one was Senior Brother You, and the other two were Senior Brother Luo Tong and Chu Nan!"
"Huh?" Qian Yang's face turned red unconsciously, he knew very well what his qualifications were, if he hadn't gambled on a prehistoric ancient coin, his cultivation speed might not even be comparable to Li Xiaofei.
However, Qian Yang was not embarrassed by this, the money he used to buy prehistoric ancient coins came from the twenty spirit stones given by the sect, and he was able to succeed by his own ability and a little luck, and there was nothing to be told about. Can you listen to the meaning of Li Xiaofei's words, those people who passed the assessment back then seem to have another way?
Li Xiaofei continued: "Except for the three senior brothers, everyone else has heels in the sect. Who can finally pass the assessment has been decided a long time ago, as long as the qualifications are not too unbearable, just stuff something for them secretly. And those of us who have no roots and no roots, unless we have the qualifications to defy the sky like a senior brother, we are just running away. β
Hearing this, Qian Yang's brows locked. To be honest, Li Xiaofei's words have been believed by eight points at this time, similar to this kind of unspoken rule has existed since ancient times, otherwise there would be no such word as "Yu Yin".
And Qian Yang still clearly remembered that when he almost failed the assessment, Tang Xiaoguo also planned to stuff him with some spirit stones, what she said at that time was: Although the door rules do not allow spirit stones for new beginner disciples, it is not a big deal!
It's not a big deal!
Qian Yang felt a little bored, but he still asked, "Is there any basis for what senior brother said?"
Li Xiaofei shook his head: "What is the basis for this kind of thing, and where is the basis for it? Senior Brother has already advanced to Jindan, and Senior Brother Luo Tong and Senior Brother Chu Nan are also already in the middle and late stages of foundation building. And what about the others who passed the test that year?"
"What about the others?" asked Qian Yang.
"The one with the highest cultivation has just entered the late stage of Qi refining, and he still relies on an antique that he has been rewarded by his family. If they say that their qualifications are similar to those of Senior Brother and others, do they believe it themselves?" Li Xiaofei showed mockery on his face: "Don't say that they can't compare to Senior Brother, and even I, the eliminated handyman, can't compare! If the assessment back then is really fair, I believe that at least among the top ten, there will be a place for me!"
Qian Yang was silent, he didn't know what to say, let alone what to say. And the demons in his heart suddenly churned, and after tossing, the color seemed to become even darker.
"Alas!" Qian Yang sighed: "The things of the year have passed, and the junior and junior brothers have now become deacons, so don't worry about it anymore!"
"Deacon, do you know how I came to be a deacon?" Li Xiaofei was a little excited.
Qian Yang shook his head.
Li Xiaofei sighed and said, "I think at the beginning, I stayed in the door and became a handyman. At that time, I thought that as long as I work hard and behave well, sooner or later I will wait for the opportunity. What should I do if I don't have cultivation resources? Then I don't cultivate! I get up early every day and work late at night, doing the work of three people by myself, regardless of remuneration or hard work, in order to be able to enter the eyes of a big man one day. β
"But as the days passed, no one remembered me except when I was working. In the end, I still relied on the slight affection between my family and the Hu family many years ago and asked for Deacon Hu in the mission hall. At first, Deacon Hu didn't bother to pay attention to me, but in the end, I couldn't help it, so he asked me, 'Do you listen?' Of course I said obedient! β
Of course, Qian Yang knew that Li Xiaofei had done the work of handing over the task in the mission hall, but he didn't know that the position of this temporary worker was so bumpy, and he vaguely remembered that Li Xiaofei seemed to be under a lot of pressure at that time, and the whole person was in a state of chaos.
Li Xiaofei continued: "That job is extremely cumbersome, and it only pays five spirit stones a month. But even so, I am very satisfied. It doesn't matter if the spirit stones are not enough, I will find time to make recovery crystals by myself to make up for them, anyway, I don't have much time to cultivate, and I can't spend many spirit stones at all. β
"I still often think back to that period of time should be the most fulfilling period I lived, although I was tired and tired, and I couldn't even see the future, but I was really satisfied, because I at least knew what I was doing every day, and I was at least living in flesh and blood. β
Qian Yang nodded, he understood what Li Xiaofei meant, once upon a time, it was also the state of life that he envied.
"And what happened later?" asked Qian Yang.
"Later?" Li Xiaofei raised his head and looked hard at the ceiling, sniffling before continuing: "Senior brother must know that I can get this position because I am obedient, if I am disobedient, then they will not give me a way to live." No matter how hard I work, I can't get half a good word, even if I cultivate enough, I can't wear back the green robe. Later, I figured out that as long as I still wanted to stay in the Qingling Sect, there would always be only one way in front of me, and that was ...... Forget yourself!"
