Chapter 500: Signs and Carelessness
The results of the main sect's assessment were completely expected by Chen Yuan.
In the previous 27 selection tests, the proportion of disciples who had reached the foundation building period had increased compared to previous years, but after all, cultivation was related to the disciple's personal qualifications, and it took time to accumulate, so the increase in this proportion was not large.
However, in the main sect assessment, which attaches more importance to the comprehension, potential, and plasticity of the disciples, this improvement rate is a bit amazing.
A total of forty-seven people passed the main sect examination, and they also won four of the five personal disciple places.
You must know that in the previous assessments, the largest number of people who passed the 27th assignment was only 11 people.
Even so, Ling Daozun was still not satisfied, and arrogantly scolded the disciples of the elixir department who failed to get the quota of the personal inheritance.
Forty-seven places passed, which is not only the highest number in the history of 27 assignments, but also the highest number of people who have passed the assessment in all the years of distribution.
Ling Daozun's secret joy was not without melancholy: he knew that this brilliant number might be about to become a huge soundβthe next disciples would not be fortunate enough to have Chen Yuan's supervision.
The great success of the twenty-seven assignments in the assessment test once again proved Chen Yuan's ability, but in addition, the sect's contribution points were meaningless to the current Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan, who was about to ascend to the position of the sect master, did not need to care too much about the recognition of others.
On that night, when there were still three days before the succession ceremony, Ling Daozun came to find Chen Yuan.
These days, Chen Yuan is busy learning the etiquette and procedures in the ceremony, and he is very busy.
These are very meaningless things in Chen Yuan's opinion, but the so-called majesty and sacredness have to rely on these vain things to decorate.
In fact, if Chen Yuan could choose by himself, he would rather everyone sit down and have a drink and a meal, and then Xu Fu shook his hand and said, "Young man do a good job", this is how good it should be to complete the succession.
It is said that these cumbersome etiquette and procedures were also set by a certain former sect master, and I don't know which senior was stimulated to have to get along with the junior......
Finally, there was time to rest, but seeing Ling Daozun visiting, Chen Yuan still cheered up and asked with a smile, "Are you talking about the main sect's assessment?"
"I've heard that forty-seven people have passed, and it's a good job!"
Although Ling Daozun had heard a lot of compliments from other sect heads these days, seeing Chen Yuan say this, Ling Daozun still felt very proud, and waved his hand to show humility: "...... have won awards."
"Uh, what's the award, I mean I did a good job......"
Ling Daozun was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that the guy in front of him still had a twenty-seven assigned teaching supervisor position.
After being speechless for a long time, Ling Daozun remembered his intention: "The old man is here, I have something else to tell you, I have been busy with the main sect assessment some time ago, so I just remembered it." β
"Oh, what's the matter?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Before the old man led the team to set off from Ming Yuan Peak, I received a message that there were signs that the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had been transferred unexplained, and the old man suspected that they were trying to take advantage of the opportunity for you to take over and make some trouble on the border, so as to embarrass you......"
"Are they holding a grudge against me for not sending them an invitation?" Chen Yuan laughed, "Thank you Daozun for your reminder, I will draw Sect Master Xu's attention." β
It's just that the next day, before Chen Yuan could tell Xu Buyi about it, he ushered in a group of friends from afar.
Seeing the fat man he hadn't seen for a long time, Chen Yuan was full of joy.
"Yo, look who this is, our good girl is here too. β
Chen Yuan picked up the little girl who ran to call her godfather, and turned around several times in a row, making her giggle, and Xiuxiu, who was sitting on the side dressed as a graceful lady, looked at this scene with a smile, but the fat man came up with an unhappy face and wanted to break Chen Yuan's hands.
"Hey, you pay attention, men and women don't kiss. β
Chen Yuan's face darkened, handed Xiao Shizhu to Xiuxiu, and said with disdain: "Look at you, what kind of dirty thoughts are in your head......
After the greetings, Chen Yuan had to say goodbye and leave.
You must know that there have been many guests from Lian Tianfeng recently, except for the twenty-seventh person who sent him and the fat man's family who were personally greeted by Chen Yuan, even the heads of the other factions have not been able to get this kind of treatment.
But just before leaving, the fat man's words made Chen Yuan vigilant.
"I felt like something wasn't right lately, like something was going to happen. The fat man said worriedly.
"What's wrong?"
"Some time ago, when I was preparing a gift for you, I found that the prices of healing pills, finished magic weapons, and various Dao talismans on the market have risen sharply recently. β
"Curious, I sent someone to investigate and found that most of these things were acquired by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Medicine God Sect, and the Spirit Refining Sect, and I always felt that they were secretly planning something. β
"I think it's best for Ying Tianzong to be on guard recently. β
Chen Yuan was silent for a moment and nodded: "I know, don't worry, this matter is left to me, you must be tired from coming from afar, I'll take you to rest first." β
However, Chen Yuan was not as relieved as he said, and after settling Li Chun's family, Chen Yuan hurriedly rushed to Xu Buying.
The successive reminders from the two parties made Chen Yuan vigilant.
"I've also heard about the movements of the Ten Thousand Swords Medicine God and other sects. β
Compared with Chen Yuan's anxiety, Xu Bucheng seemed much calmer.
"Every time a sect master takes over such a major event, this kind of situation always happens," Xu Buyi picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, then said, "Just like when the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect changes, we Ying Tianzong will also take precautions. β
"Because at this time, I don't know what kind of temperament and character the new sect master of the other party is, in order to prevent the new official from taking office impulsively, corresponding precautions are indispensable. β
Xu Buyi finally put down the teacup and said, "But this time their reaction is indeed a bit excessive, I will tell my disciples to pay more attention." β
Xu Buyi was completely blinded by his own inertial thinking this time, and when he was in power, although there was occasional friction between several major sects, it was generally peaceful.
The reason is very simple, everyone's strength is about the same, and no one will risk losing both sides to start the war lightly.
Even if it is a few alliances on the opposite side, they are not afraid, because those who look like they are separated, it is impossible for anyone to take the lead with the risk of losing their strength, and in the end, they let others pick peaches.
However, the only thing Xu did not expect was that for a person who was shrouded in dying despair, there was no reason to speak of when faced with the only chance of life, especially if this person had the ability to wage war.
