In the quiet room of Xuanjizi.

Xuanjizi sat cross-legged on the futon, Tie Yumo and Su Xing knelt in front of Xuanjizi anxiously, they were all a little confused, they didn't know what the master had called the two of them to do?

Xuan Jizi said lightly: "Yu Mo and Su Xing, how do you two feel after listening to the speech of the junior brother today?"

Tie Yumo and Su Xing glanced at each other, and Tie Yumo spoke first: "Master, Yu Mo has always known that the little junior brother is talented and thoughtful, but he didn't expect him to grow to this extent.

His speech today is a deep shame to the disciples. As a senior disciple of Xuanjizi, I have never thought about the future of the Xuanji faction so carefully, and after listening to the little junior brother today, I suddenly have a feeling of enlightenment, clear direction, and know the method!

Master, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate hard to improve my realm, and at the same time, I will strive to break through the refining level, share my worries for Master, and set an example for my junior disciples, and I will definitely not disappoint Master's expectations!"

Su Xing also said solemnly: "Master, the apprentice was too lazy in the past, pursued casualness, greedy for pleasure, and neglected cultivation and alchemy skill improvement, which disappointed you, in the future, I will take care of my heart and work hard, and I will definitely not disappoint your old man again." ”

Xuanjizi shook his head and said: "Yu Mo, Su Xing, I asked you to come here alone for the teacher today, not to let you do a review, because you have already done a good job, and the reason why you haven't made further progress is because you haven't thought about what to do in the future before becoming a teacher."

Now that the idea of the revival plan of the Xuanji faction has been proposed, it still needs to be further improved and promoted, and the energy of the teacher is really not enough, I hope that the two of you can take on more responsibilities for the sect in the future, and the sect will give you greater power and more resource support. ”

Tie Yumo raised his head and looked at Xuanjizi and said, "Master, I don't think the revival plan is mainly in charge of the third junior brother, seventh junior brother, eighth junior brother, and junior junior brother? ”

Xuanjizi glared and said, "You two are the two people with the highest cultivation level in the Xuanji faction besides me, and several of them have low cultivation, so they can only do some basic work in the early stage."

In the future, there will be more time to retreat for teachers and go out to find opportunities, and the Xuanji faction still needs the two of you to take charge, why do you despise yourself so much?

In the future, the burden on the two of you will be heavier, and I hope that you will quickly improve your realm, and secondly, you will take on more management responsibilities.

Tie Yumo and Su Xing hurriedly said: "The disciple knows his mistake and obeys the teacher's orders!"

Xuanjizi nodded and said: "The Refining Peak and the Alchemy Peak are the foundation of the future growth of the Xuanji Sect, and this arrangement in the early stage is for fear that the two of you will be too distracted by the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and delay your cultivation."

In the early stage of the Chamber of Commerce, there are third, seventh, eighth and Tianhuo, and they should be on the right track soon. The task of the two of you is to improve the cultivation realm as soon as possible, and improve the level of refining weapons and alchemy.

Within five years, Yu Mo must be proficient in refining spiritual weapons, and Su Xing must be able to refine at least the Five Rank Pills, so that when the Xiuzhen trade path matures, we will have the goods we can get our hands on in exchange for more resources. ”

Xuanjizi took out two Qiankun bags from his sleeves and threw them to the two of them and said: "Since the two of you are related to the future development of the sect, the sect will naturally not be stingy with investment, there are some refining tools and alchemy materials here, you two take them to practice, I hope you two will reach the realm I said as soon as possible." ”

Tie Yumo opened the Qiankun bag, and inside was seventy catties of copper mother and five hundred catties of cold iron, as well as a piece of markinged metal that looked like gold and silver mixed together, as well as some other refining materials.

Tie Yumo's hand trembled a little and took out the piece of markinged metal that was slightly larger than a goose egg, and his voice was a little out of tune: "Master, this is Gengxin Jin! It is a material that can be used to refine immortal weapons, you let me use it to practice?"

Xuan Jizi smiled: "Of course, it's not just about training! You and Su Xing have both reached the Jindan stage, it's time to have your own exclusive spiritual weapon, use these materials to refine a suitable weapon for the two of you! As for what weapon to refine, the two of you will discuss it yourself."

By the way, in their spare time, they will each create a top-level magic weapon for the third and eighth children, and in the future, the two of them will often go out with the Xuanji caravan, and they can't do it without a good blade. ”

Tie Yumo shook his head, returned the Qiankun bag to Xuanjizi and said, "Master, I can't ask for this, if my second junior brother and I use up the copper mother and cold iron, what will the other junior brothers do?"

Xuan Jizi said with some emotion: "Boss, you really have the style of an eldest brother. You don't have to think about the spiritual weapons of your junior disciples first, they won't be able to reach the Jindan stage for a while, and there is no such urgent need for the time being.

The two of you will become strong first, and in the future, you will get good materials and then add them to the treasury of the sect, and then there will be a teacher, so it's a big deal to sell a few favorite spiritual weapons, and you don't have to think about the matter of property. ”

Xuanjizi said to Su Xing, who was looking at the large number of elixirs in the Qiankun bag in a daze: "Second brother, you go to refine the elixir well, don't be a fool of yourself, waste these elixirs, and blow your head off as a teacher."

After practicing the medicine, you keep one percent for yourself, and hand over the rest back to the treasury, and after practicing these elixirs, it is estimated that you will be able to refine the five-grade pill, and there will be a heavy reward for the teacher at that time. ”

Tie Yumo and Su Xing both felt their noses sour, and the gloomy mood in the morning because of the revival plan immediately dissipated, and the two of them bowed to the master gratefully.

Tie Yumo and Su Xing said in unison: "Master, your great trust, the disciples will not dare to forget it for a moment, and it will not let you down!"

After the morning meeting, Tianhuo returned to his residence, and when he was giving a speech just now, the whole person was full of excitement, tension and a sense of achievement, and he naturally felt energetic and full of vitality.

After the excitement, coupled with the recent exertion, Tianhuo only felt tired to death! He fell into bed and began to sleep with his head covered, sleeping from noon until midnight before waking up, missing lunch and dinner.

Tianhuo was so thirsty that he got up and went to the table to find water to drink, and finally touched a teapot, there was still more than half a pot of warm water in it, Tianhuo hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured it into the spout, finally relieving the thirst in his throat.

Tianhuo was just about to put down the kettle in his hand, when he suddenly heard a voice in the darkness opposite, "Are you awake?"

Frightened, Tianhuo almost smashed the kettle in his hand, but fortunately he felt that the sound was a little familiar, so he stopped in time.

Tianhuo put down the kettle, rubbed the three fingers of his right hand, and a flame came out of his fingers, quickly illuminating the surroundings of the table.

Tianhuo saw the big fat man Lu Qiming sitting opposite the table by the light of the fire, he lit the oil lamp on the table angrily and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, you want to scare people to death! ”

Lu Qiming's face was tight, there was some sadness in his eyes, he took out a food box from his side and put it on the table and said, "Are you hungry? This is the dinner that Lao Ba prepared for you, eat it quickly." ”

Tianhuo was really hungry at this time, so he hurriedly opened the food box and took out two dishes, one soup and a large bowl of japonica rice from it, all of which were good spiritual food to replenish vitality and spiritual weapons.

Although the food was already cold, Tianhuo was so hungry that he didn't care at all, and quickly pulled most of the bowl of japonica rice, and felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach.

At this time, Tianhuo noticed that Lu Qiming was still in a daze and sad on the other side, he stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Sixth Senior Brother, you won't wait from dinner until now, right?"

Lu Qiming nodded and said, "Yes, after I came, I found that you were still sleeping, and I wanted to wait for you to wake up and eat together, but I didn't expect to wait until now." ”

Tianhuo put down his chopsticks, took out another bowl of japonica rice from the food box and put it in front of Lu Qiming, handed the chopsticks and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, don't get entangled, let's eat together." I'm sorry to keep you waiting for me so long. ”

Lu Qiming glanced at the japonica rice sadly and said, "Little junior brother, you can eat it yourself, senior brother has no appetite." ”

Tianhuo hurriedly stood up, walked around the table, walked in front of Lu Qiming, put the back of his hand on Lu Qiming's forehead and asked, "Sixth Senior Brother, are you sick?

Lu Qiming slapped Tianhuo's hand away and said, "Come less, I can't eat it sadly, and it has nothing to do with my body." ”

As soon as Tianhuo heard Lu Qiming say this, he hurriedly sat next to Lu Qiming and asked, "What can make my wide-hearted and fat sixth senior brother so sad, let me hear about it?"

Lu Qiming looked at Tianhuo with resentment and said, "Little junior brother, you tell me the truth, am I the most useless one among the senior brothers?"

Tianhuo touched his head in some surprise and said, "How can there be such a thing!" Sixth Senior Brother, who said what did this and make you unhappy? Although you are a kind person and do not like to compete with others, your cultivation and conduct are definitely outstanding among the senior brothers, could it be that the second senior brother bullied you? I will help you get angry!"

Lu Qiming shook his head and said, "It's not the second senior brother. ”

"Who is that? Dare to bully my sixth senior brother, he doesn't want to mess around!"

"Yes, Master. ”

"Uh!" Tianhuo was choked all of a sudden, he grabbed the rice bowl in a daze, and continued to start shoeing up the japonica rice, if it was the master who cleaned up the sixth senior brother, Tianhuo really didn't dare to care, pretend not to hear.

Lu Qiming grabbed Tianhuo's collar and said, "And you, junior brother, are also accomplices!"

Tianhuo was reluctant to hear it, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, don't you wronged me, I have been sleeping all day today, when did I bully you?"

Lu Qiming put his big face in front of Tianhuo, looked a little hideous in the light, and said: "Then tell me, all the senior brothers are either in charge of the situation alone or in important positions, why do I only have one sentence 'responsible for the defense of the main peak'? Could this be the master's idea alone?"

Tianhuo blinked his eyes, and immediately understood what Lu Qiming was struggling with.

Tianhuo smiled dryly: "Sixth Senior Brother, don't be impulsive, haven't you heard a word?"

"What word?"

"Henchman!"

"What do you mean?"

Tianhuo had already organized his words at this time, pushed away Lu Qiming's big face and said: "What is a confidant? It is the person who is the most confidant! Divided into those senior brothers of the side peak, what are you jealous of? He was expelled from the center of power early, and he will only be the master of a peak in the future, so don't think about the position of the head of the family." ”

After hearing this, Lu Qiming thought for a while, felt that what Tianhuo said was very reasonable, nodded and said: "Okay, even if there are no seven senior brothers on the side peak, there are still third, fourth, and seventh senior brothers in the main peak, they are all better than me, and their responsibilities and powers are also greater than mine!"

Tianhuo stood up, made a very sad expression and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, what a shrewd person you are usually, why did you let jealousy blind you today?

The third senior brother will definitely be the head of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce in the future, and he will not change him if he is given a head; the fourth senior brother has both ability and political integrity, but he is too strict and harsh, and the Xuanji faction still needs a relatively relaxed environment in the early stage of development, so he is not suitable to be the head. ”

The sadness in Lu Qiming's eyes was quickly replaced by excitement, and he hurriedly said, "Then there is also the seventh senior brother!"

Tianhuo said with a smile: "Although Senior Brother Seventh is talented and full of wisdom, he is not good at expressing himself, which is his weakness. ”

Lu Qiming stood up and asked loudly, "What about me?"

"You?" Tianhuo looked Lu Qiming up and down and said, "Well, the sixth senior brother is a person who can be completely trusted by the master.

That's why Master appointed you to protect the Dharma of the main peak, and put his own safety and the safety of the Xuanji Sect's central land in your hands, this is the real 'henchman'! What qualifications do you say you have to feel sorry for yourself here?"

Lu Qiming couldn't help but his eyebrows fluttered: "Little junior brother, what you said is true? It seems that I am the most important person in the master's heart!

Tianhuo's mouth was wide open, and it was not easy to mess around with this question, and his brain was running rapidly.

Lu Qiming looked surprised and hesitant when he looked at Tianhuo, and his fat face immediately pulled down and said, "Little junior brother, isn't this question difficult to answer?

Tianhuo immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm evaluating when the sixth senior brother will become the leader." ”

Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it settled? Tell me quickly, when will I be the leader?"

Tianhuo Xinyi said: "At present, the cultivation realm of the senior brother and the second senior brother is still a big realm higher than yours, if the master wants to appoint the acting head in the short term, it must be the senior brother or the second senior brother, but if the sixth senior brother, your cultivation can catch up with the senior brother and them, I think you can't run away from the position of the head of the house." ”

Lu Qiming rolled up his sleeves excitedly and said: "Yes, yes, now the cultivation of the senior brother and the second senior brother is still higher than mine, if you let the master give me the position of head now, the master and his old man will be embarrassed, I am embarrassed, I have to be considerate of his old man."

Without further ado, junior brother, have you finished eating? I have taken all the rest of the food, and I will practice hard overnight, and strive to catch up with the realm of senior brother and them as soon as possible, and then the master will be able to pass on the position of head to me along the river, haha!"

Lu Qiming quickly put the two dishes and one soup on the table and his own bowl of japonica rice into the food box, and rushed down the small building like a gust of wind, and the heavy footsteps quickly disappeared.

Tianhuo shouted at Lu Qiming's back: "Sixth Senior Brother, I'm optimistic about you, come on!"

Lu Qiming made a gesture from afar.

Tianhuo took a long breath, looked at the small half bowl of rice left on the table, and decided to finish it, he poured out some residual tea from the teapot and began to send it to his mouth, finally coaxing the sensitive, pure, and blood-boiling Sixth Senior Brother away.

When Tianhuo ate the last bite of rice, Xuanjizi's voice sounded in his ears: "You've finished eating, right? Next time, dare to talk nonsense behind your back, and I will beat you up for the teacher! ”

Tianhuo's face turned red, knowing that the words of the sixth senior brother just now had actually been heard by the master, and it seemed that he had to be cleaned up again, Tianhuo hurriedly changed his clothes and walked towards Xuanjizi's residence.

Tianhuo was a little apprehensive along the way, and he didn't know how Xuanjizi was going to punish himself.

After entering Xuanjizi's quiet room, Xuanjizi sat cross-legged on the futon, with a half-foot-sized bronze hall model on her side, and Tianhuo's eyes lit up, this should be the best spiritual weapon cave.

Xuanjizi motioned for Tianhuo to sit down, and Tianhuo honestly knelt on the futon, bowing his head, looking honest and obedient.

Xuanjizi laughed: "What's wrong? You know it's wrong? Aren't you very good at analyzing? Guess the intention of being a teacher clearly, then guess what I called you to do here?"

Tianhuo raised his head with a bitter face and said, "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. Just now, I saw that Senior Brother Six was depressed, and I tried to encourage him to come, and I didn't think about arranging you behind my back.

You also know that Senior Brother Sixth has a pure heart, he treats you like a father, and he cares most about what you think of him, so he will be depressed today.

However, after some persuasion from the apprentices, the sixth senior brother has rekindled his fighting spirit, and I believe that he will be able to break through the Jindan stage soon, maybe sooner than the fifth senior brother!"

Xuanjizi nodded and said: "Qiming is a good boy, but he is a little lazy and greedy, and he has no quarrel with the world, it is good that you can stimulate his fighting spirit, I am looking forward to seeing more disciples advance to the Jindan stage." ”

Tianhuo saw that Xuanjizi was not ready to clean himself up, and immediately said with a shy face: "Master, what are you letting the apprentice do so late? The apprentice really can't guess! ”

Xuanjizi said: "Tianhuo, in this Xuanji faction's revival plan, everyone has a direction and responsibility, and even my work, you have arranged it for me, so why don't you have your own arrangements?"

Tianhuo's face fell: "Master, why do you always keep an eye on me, if I can write out the Xuanji revival plan, I will already be greatly injured, you will let me go, let me rest for a few years, and ......"

"Huh?" Xuanjizi snorted coldly.

Tianhuo immediately made a big turn and said, "I'll make a name for you." ”

Xuanjizi said, "What kind of name are you going to make to show me?"

Tianhuo pondered for a moment and said: "Within half a year, you will be promoted to the foundation building period, and you will be promoted to the Jindan period in three years, and then you can contribute to the gang." ”

Xuanjizi shook his head and said, "No, I made a bet with someone for the teacher, saying that you can build a successful foundation in four months." ”

Tianhuo protested: "Four months is really not enough! Master, you often teach us that the way of cultivating the truth and not reaching it quickly, how can you bet on the safety and future of your precious apprentice? I don't recognize this gamble!"

Xuanjizi waved his hand and said: "Don't shout, your qualifications and progress, the teacher is very clear, you have reached one hundred and eight veins in the expansion period, and you have reached the nine layers of the five lakes and four seas in the sea melting period, both times have caused changes in heaven and earth, if it weren't for the teacher to help you cover up in time, I'm afraid you would have already encountered an accident."

The teacher was afraid that you would go all the way to the extreme, and every time you were promoted, it would cause changes in the heavens and the earth, so before you found a way to help you cover up your cultivation, the teacher did not urge you to speed up your cultivation progress.

However, now the exclusive spiritual weapon refined for you by the master is basically formed, and after three months, you can wear it on your body after you reach the ninth level of qi training, and you will not be afraid of others seeing your true realm in the future.

This time, I called you four months to advance to the foundation building period, and I didn't ask you to take risks as a teacher, this is for you. ”

After speaking, Xuanjizi picked up the cave spirit weapon on his side and threw it to Tianhuo, Tianhuo hurriedly reached out to catch it, although he knew that this kind of spirit weapon could not be broken at all, but he still made a hurry.

Tianhuo holds this Dongfu spiritual weapon, can't put it down, the spiritual charm from the spiritual weapon makes Tianhuo's heart moved, on the exquisite copper hall model, beams, columns, steps, ornaments are complete, and even there are three small words on the temple door - "Qinghua Palace", Tianhuo really wants to hurry into the cave to have a look.

Xuanjizi said: "You take care of the affairs at hand, and tomorrow you will take Qinghua Hall and your seventh senior brother to the Xuanji Cave in the back mountain to settle down, where the aura is strong and can give birth to this treasure."

Then you enter the Qinghua Hall for three months of retreat, and within three months you must reach the ninth level of Qi training, and then the Master will give you a great transformation. ”

Tianhuo's eyes lit up and said, "What kind of creation? Master gave me the news in advance!"

Xuanjizi sighed and said, "Let me tell you, lest you be restless and delay your cultivation."

Three months later, the officials of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will hold a foundation building conference once every ten years, which is a benefit given by the imperial family to the sects loyal to the imperial court.

The time we have joined the Imperial Alliance is too short, and there is only one place, but it just so happens that you are the only one on the mountain who is in the Qi refining period. The winning monks of this tournament will be rewarded with Tsukidan. ”

Tianhuo pursed his lips and said, "Can the Zhuji Dan refined by the imperial alchemist be as good as the master's refinement?"

Xuanjizi smiled: "It's really not as good as refining for the teacher." However, the first place in the conference will be rewarded with a 'Tianzhu Dan', the second and third places will be rewarded with a 'Earth Zhudan', and the fourth to seventh place will be rewarded with a 'Human Zhudan'. The master couldn't refine these three kinds of pills, because the master really couldn't get that wisp of the three talents. ”

Tianhuo's eyes lit up: "These three pills sound so powerful, what's the use?"

Xuanji said: "The effect is similar to that of ordinary Tsukidan, but it can help monks break through the pole!"

After the isolation of the Three Realms, the cultivation method of the human world was gradually lost, and the ten thousand methods were exhausted, in order to adapt to such a situation, the various sects worked hard to simplify the cultivation exercises and reduce the difficulty of cultivation, so that the previous normal promotion every nine days has become every six promotions.

That is to say, the ninety promotion of the Tuomai has become the sixty veins of the Tuomai to advance to the Ronghai Period, and the five lakes and four seas have also become five lakes and one sea during the previous Ronghai period, and the nine turns of Qi training have also become the six turns of Qi training, and the foundation can be built with nine layers, and the nine layers of the foundation have also become the six layers of the foundation condensing Jindan.

Only some of the major sects' personal lineages, cores, and a small number of inner disciples are still pursuing extreme advancement.

Tianhuo was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Then I must take the first place this time!"

Xuanjizi said: "Well, Tianhuo, I am optimistic about you for the teacher! However, the Foundation Building Conference is a conference that brings together the geniuses of the Qi refining period of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and the master does not ask you to take the first place, as long as you can enter the top seven and obtain an elixir that can break through the number of poles, in terms of your qualifications, the chance of reaching the number of poles will definitely be much greater than theirs." ”

Tianhuo looked at the cave spirit weapon in his hand, and said confidently: "With the help of this baby, the apprentice will definitely be able to reach the ninth level of qi cultivation within three months, and in the same situation, the apprentice is really not afraid of anyone!"
