Volume 1 Visiting the Heart
Without the fetters of the Xie family's sisters and brothers, it didn't take long for Ming Xuan to return to his long-lost division.
Qingyangmen is still as lively as ever, and Sunset Peak is still as deserted as ever.
Looking at the familiar scene around him, Ming Xuan felt warm, thinking that he was involved in the rivers and lakes at the beginning of the year, ignorant and cautious, unsociable, and rejected people thousands of miles away, and later came to the Sunset Peak that everyone disliked under pressure, if he hadn't met this group of kind and enthusiastic brothers, he might not have become what he would become.
But all the disciples who can enter Qingyangmen are all extraordinary, and they are arrogant, and Ming Xuan was so maverick back then, if he is in the other seven peaks, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get along with others, and if he doesn't do well, there will be many contradictions, and only in this group of "outcasts" in Sunset Peak, he can find his true self, encourage each other, and grow together, but now all the brothers and sisters still can't escape the arrangement of fate, and they go their own way, only he still sticks to the long journey of cultivation.
"I don't know if the pill has been cultivated or not, can Elder Chang Feng's illness be cured?" Ming Xuan couldn't help but worry, although Chang Feng was his mentor, but because of his seniority, the disciples of Sunset Peak called him Elder Chang Feng.
It stands to reason that he should go to visit Elder Chang Feng as soon as he returns, but the place of refining medicine is in Tianxuan Peak, and Elder Chang Feng should also be there, and it is not too early, so he has to go back to Sun Peak first, and after settling down, he will enter the peak early in the morning to pay a visit.
After a night without saying anything, Ming Xuan got up early and went out after cleaning up.
When he arrived at Tianxuan Peak, it was still early, but the disciples had already started their morning class for a day, and the sound of swords came and went, which was very pleasant, and seeing unfamiliar faces, several distracted disciples couldn't help but look at him curiously.
"Sunset Peak disciple Ming Xuan pays a visit to Elder Chang Xin!" After the briefing, he didn't expect that it was Elder Chang Xin who received him personally.
"Ming Xuan is back! Not bad, yes! This trip actually broke through the spirit in one fell swoop, it's gratifying!" Chang Xin saw Ming Xuan's cultivation at a glance, and his face was full of happy smiles.
"The disciple is stupid, and he has to make this breakthrough with all his might, and I hope that he will not insult the teacher. "In front of Elder Chang Xin, how dare Ming Xuan hold it up.
"This is too modest, among the disciples of your current class, as far as I know, there are only a few people who have broken through the spirit now, and most of them have just broken through, and the realm is still unstable, I am afraid that there is no one who can reach the strength of your realm, if this is still dull, then the other disciples will not have a way to live!hahaha!" Chang Xin smiled knowingly, although Ming Xuan did not belong to Tianxuan Peak, he was a disciple of the outer courtyard of Qingyang Sect after all, and he was the chief elder of this outer courtyard, and the disciple was able to achieve such an achievement, he was naturally happy in his heart.
"Elder praised!" Ming Xuan replied calmly, his heart was like water, and he did not feel complacent because he was affirmed by the Chief Elder, and even Chang Xin had to show an appreciative gaze at this concentration.
"I'm afraid you're here for Senior Brother Chang Feng, right?" Chang Xin naturally knew his intention.
"Elder Mingjian, I don't know what Elder Changfeng's situation is now?" Ming Xuan asked with a slight apprehension, his concern overflowing.
"Thanks to your gift of Blood Bodhi, with the joint efforts of several of our elders, the elixir was finally successfully refined two months ago!" Chang Xin said with relief.
"Then Elder Changfeng, has he recovered?" Rao is calm as Ming Xuan was also happy after hearing this.
"Senior Brother Chang Feng has also taken the pill, but his injury has been delayed for too long, and he can only come to the doctor slowly for a long time, and now he is in retreat, slowly digesting the medicinal power to cure the condition, we can do everything we can, and then it is up to him. Chang Xin said softly.
I see, but I don't know how long this retreat will last. Mingxuan was a little disappointed, but fortunately everything was developing for the better.
"You don't have to worry about the Changfeng thing, after so many years have passed, we haven't given up, what is a little retreat? You still have to concentrate on cultivation, after all, the day of promotion and selection is just around the corner. "I can be remembered by my disciples, and Chang Xin is sincerely happy for Chang Feng, but now is not the time.
"Promotion selection?" Ming Xuan was confused.
"Don't you know?"
"Disciple...... What should the disciple know?" Ming Xuan was naturally even more confused.
"Oh, it's no wonder, you are practicing at Sunset Peak, there are few disciples, Chang Feng is negligent in guidance, and it's normal for you not to know. Chang Xin suddenly figured out the reason.
"Please make it clear to the elders!" seemed to be an important matter, and Ming Xuan didn't dare to delay.
"The seven peaks of Qingyang plus the sunset peak rate belong to the outer courtyard of Qingyangmen, responsible for the cultivation and selection of new disciples, you know, although hundreds of disciples enter the door to practice every year, but there are rankings and eliminations every year, so there are still not many people who can really become disciples of the outer courtyard of Qingyangmen, this is just the rules of the outer courtyard, and if you want to become a disciple of the inner courtyard of Qingyangmen, you must advance to the level of the spirit, in today's world, there are not many martial cultivators, but there is no one in a thousand who can advance to the spirit, even if it is a big sect like our Qingyangmen, there are not many disciples at the level of the spirit, and these talents are the core disciples of my Qingyangmen。 "Qingyangmen's selection of materials is extremely strict, and the cultivation is well-organized, but the disciples who can be promoted to the spirit also have to be one out of ten, which shows that it is not easy to cultivate the disciples of the spirit.
"Does the elder mean that the disciple is already an inner court disciple?" Ming Xuan somewhat understood, he had also understood these before, but he didn't know anything about it.
"It's not quite, but you already have the qualifications to become an inner court disciple, every year in the golden autumn of September, the inner court will hold a promotion selection, all the outer court disciples who break through the spirit can participate, after that, you will become a real inner court disciple, and be cultivated by the core of Qingyang Gate. Chang Xin patiently explained to him.
"Since becoming a spirit is already one in a thousand, and there is naturally nothing to say about talent and cultivation, why do you still have to select?" Ming Xuan was very puzzled, when he became a disciple of the outer court, he had no interruption in the ranking every year, and he didn't think that he would have to accept the selection to become a disciple of the inner court.
"Disciples who can enter the Qingyang Gate to practice, there are no poor qualifications, let alone formal disciples, but the annual ranking is still cruel, the purpose is to urge everyone to continue to work hard to cultivate, although talent is important, but the acquired effort is even more important! Of course, to be able to promote the spirit, talent and hard work are indispensable, but there is still a difference between high and low, a disciple like you who broke through the spirit at a young age is naturally the best of the best, but there are also many disciples who have practiced for decades before they can barely advance to the spirit level, and even those who have practiced for a longer time, then the difference naturally exists, and the better disciples will undoubtedly be trained more generously, which is understandable, every sect is like this. Chang Xin patiently explained to him.
"Since everyone has been promoted to a spirit master, the strength is a matter of self-determination, it seems that there is no need for such a selection, right?" Ming Xuan still didn't understand very well, the so-called Dao method is natural, the deeper the cultivation, the more he can appreciate the true meaning, for this kind of deliberate hostile competition between the same sect, he seems to be a little repulsed.
"Talent and hard work are important, but this is not the whole of cultivation, a person's conduct is the most important, no virtue is a mediocre person, no virtue is a beautiful person, a virtuous person is a heavenly man, no virtue is a curse, a person with bad conduct, if there is talent, not only with people is not beneficial, but harmful to the world, promotion and selection not only study the strength of each disciple, understanding, Adaptability tests his character even more, this is the purpose of promotion and selection, and disciples with bad conduct will not only not become disciples of the inner court, but will also be reprimanded, and in serious cases, they will be expelled from the sect with their martial arts abolished! Qingyang Sect will never allow its disciples to be evil in the world!" Elder Chang Xin admonished.
Since promotion selection has existed for hundreds of years, it is justified in its existence.
"I see, but I don't know what form this promotion and selection will take, and the disciples should make some preparations. Ming Xuan really didn't know anything about this.
"There is no fixed pattern for promotion selection, it will vary from year to year, so there is nothing to learn from, you don't need to be overly nervous, just be normal!, but this selection is very important for the spirit disciples who want to enter the inner court, and the importance is no less than your entry selection, or even more important, because the better you perform in the selection, the more attention you will receive from the Qingyang Sect, and the better you will get rewards!" Chang Xin kindly reminded.
"After all, it's still a test of strength, so wouldn't it be that some people deliberately don't participate in the selection of the year after breaking through the spirit in order to perform better in the promotion selection, quietly accumulate strength, and wait until the strength is enough to make a move, and the performance will naturally be better." "For better returns, the necessary little tricks are very effective.
"Your fears are valid and have been made before, but few people would choose to do so now. Chang Xin said with a smile.
"Oh?" It seems that the promotion selection also takes this issue into account.
"This explanation is a bit cumbersome, there is a detailed record of promotion selection in the library of Tianxuan Peak, you can go and see it, there should be all the answers to the doubts in your heart. "Chang Xin is busy with affairs, but he doesn't have so much effort to make such a detailed speech for Mingxuan.
"Disciple knows!" Ming Xuan replied with a bow.
Tianxuan Peak's library Pavilion Mingxuan is no stranger, and he didn't come back then, but most of the books he consulted were martial arts, especially about dual cultivation, and occasionally he would read some books on strange things, but he really didn't see much about the spirit, because at that time, the spirit seemed a little far away to him.
The books on the spirit side had a special file, and Ming Xuan quickly found them, and the promotion selection was placed in the first column of the bookshelf.
