Chapter 35: The Gambler
The road to cultivation is extremely difficult, and people who are in a high-ranking sect, although they have a sect to rely on, the internal competition is actually more cruel. For example, for the Zhongnan faction, there are thousands of disciples in the door, and those who can really be valued by those masters and heads can be counted with a single hand.
Except for those disciples who were relied on by the sect, the life of the other cultivators was actually not good at all, not only did they have to compete for all kinds of limited resources, but they also did whatever it took to achieve their goals.
Lin Xiu was in Xiaoquan Peak, he didn't feel such a fight, and on top of the other four peaks, there was an open and secret battle between disciples almost every day, and from time to time, one or two people disappeared from the mountain inexplicably, this kind of thing is even more common, if it is not the core disciples in the door, those masters don't bother to ask at all, and if they die, they will die a few, anyway, it will not be of much use in the future.
Cultivators in this class are all looking forward day and night to the day when their cultivation will be able to improve by leaps and bounds, and then they will be appreciated by the master, even if it is a casual boast, then the reputation of this disciple among the senior brothers will immediately skyrocket.
And today, in front of everyone in the Zhongnan faction, Lin Xiu actually got the favor of Master Meng Yang, look at what it means, in the next four years, Master Meng Yang must be vigorously cultivating him. While those white-clothed disciples looked down on Lin Xiu, they were also jealous, because in this way, wouldn't this waste Lin Xiu have two masters, why can't we touch this kind of good thing. It would be good if Lin Xiu had that qualification, but he didn't even have the slightest talent and potential.
While annoyed that Lin Xiu had taken shit luck, the white-clothed disciples of the Zhongnan faction were gradually divided into three types of people.
The first wave should have the largest number of people, and they all thought that Fang Yangming, who had followed Master Huang Lang to cultivate in the forbidden land of the back mountain, would be the strongest person in white clothes in the Zhongnan faction no matter what.
The second wave was originally supposed to be two kinds of people, but now that Li Yiqun and Murong Wanting were about to start dual cultivation, they immediately merged into one and became strong supporters of the two.
The third type of disciple is considered neutral, they don't dare to approach either side rashly, they just want to be able to live a safe life in the door.
There is an unwritten rule in the Xiuzhen sect, that is, among the disciples, regardless of age and gender, and regardless of the time of entry, as long as the strength is the strongest, then this disciple is the senior brother of everyone.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to decide the senior brother in a large sect, because as a fellow sect, the sect will not allow those powerful disciples to fight each other. But right now, the Zhongnan faction, no, it is the four major sects of the Zhao Kingdom that have all got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that is, the "Qingxuanfeng Duel" four years later, when the time comes, all the strong young disciples of the four major sects will come forward, and it will be clear who is the first.
And before that, choosing who to support is particularly important for those disciples at the bottom. Because, as long as you choose the right person and behave diligently enough in front of the target you choose in the early stage, then once that target becomes the senior brother and living senior sister of your own sect, the subsequent benefits will come over one after another.
But once you choose the wrong one, you are likely to be snubbed and even retaliated against.
It is too difficult to get ahead in the cultivation realm, these cultivators have to grasp every opportunity around them, and it is not difficult to imagine how the undercurrent will be surging behind the scenes in addition to the things on the surface in the competition four years later.
After Meng Yang sent Lin Xiu back to Xiaoquan Peak, he said: "Lin Xiu, every other day in the future, I will come to Xiaoquan Peak to pick you up and take you to the Xueyue Peak Hidden Scripture Pavilion, you can go through the books there casually, if I don't have time, I will let Su Jiu pick you up." ”
Lin Xiu suddenly felt a little strange, because this time, when he heard Su Jiu's name again, there was not the slightest fluctuation in his heart, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Master Mengyang." ”
Meng Yang didn't say anything more, turned around and left Xiaoquan Peak.
Just as Lin Xiu was about to turn around, suddenly, three Zhongnan Sect disciples dressed in white flew down in front of Lin Xiu.
Raising his eyes, Lin Xiu couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, he found that the faces of these three people were all shrouded in a layer of gray mist, and they couldn't see their faces at all.
What made Lin Xiu even more puzzled was that one of them stepped forward and arched his hand to Lin Xiu and said, "Senior Brother Lin, Xu, Lu, and Zhao, come to visit." ”
After Lin Xiu thought about it, he immediately understood that one of these three people was surnamed Xu, one was surnamed Zhao, and one was surnamed Lu, and what was on their faces should be some kind of spell to cover their faces. The three of them came with their faces hidden, most likely because there was something unspeakable.
Lin Xiu didn't panic, but responded: "Lin Xiu has seen the three senior brothers, I don't know what the three of them are doing?"
The white-clothed disciple surnamed Xu continued, "Senior Brother Lin, we have a gift for you. ”
As he spoke, the white-clothed disciple next to him, who didn't know whether his surname was Lu or Zhao, took out a piece of light green hook jade and handed it to Lin Xiu.
The surnamed Xu said: "This is a jade spell, which can resist the full force attack below the seventh layer of condensation three times, and resist the full force attack below the seventh layer of condensation and below the realm once. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, he secretly thought, "Such a thing is simply the treasure of the condensation period, why would they give it to me?"
Probably seeing Lin Xiu's doubts, the disciple surnamed Xu said: "Senior Brother Lin, don't think about it, we are different from other white clothes, you are extremely optimistic about Senior Brother Lin, and I only hope that if Senior Brother Lin can soar one day in the future, don't forget the three of us." ”
The man next to him continued: "Yes, Senior Brother Lin can get the personal inheritance of Master Meng Yang, and his future achievements may not be worse than that Fang Yangming, this jade talisman was obtained by the three of us united and used a lot of savings, Senior Brother Lin, don't forget it." ”
In the cultivation realm, there is a saying called "support the bold and starve to death the timid", and it is the same in the Zhongnan faction, in addition to those who go with the flow, there are also some bold people, they will not easily follow the stream, but according to their own judgment, choose some characters or forces that others will not choose and dare not choose to rely on.
Lin Xiu has no talent, and he has seen his potential today. But from another point of view, are all those powerful cultivators in the world all extremely talented? No, what cultivation of immortals pays the most attention to is chance. Lin Xiu was almost driven away twice when he came to Zhong Nanshan, but he actually saved the day both times, and now he has been guaranteed by Master Meng Yang.
Bright-eyed people know that people like Lin Xiu will either remain a wreck in the future, or they will soar into the sky. And once such a person gains power, then his revenge will be so cruel that it is outrageous, and in the same way, if anyone has helped him in the early stage, then the benefits after he has gained power will be infinitely doubled.
Of course, it takes not only courage to make such an investment, but also to be extra cautious, so this Xu, Lu, and Zhao will hide their appearances, as long as they are not discovered, even if Lin Xiu does not become a climate in the future, they can still maneuver in front of other forces.
But these three people are extremely bold after all, if this is known, their fate in the Zhongnan faction will be extremely miserable.
At that moment, Lin Xiu couldn't think about it, so the three of them gave up their hands and left, and then left quickly. And Lin Xiu pondered it carefully, and also guessed the reason why the three of them gave gifts.
He returned to his attic and said secretly: "It seems that in the Xiuzhen Sect, as long as you can get the attention of the master, the benefits will come really quickly." Hmph, whatever, someone gives a gift to the door, and if you don't accept it, it's a violent thing. ”
After thinking about it, Lin Xiu put the jade talisman into his sleeve pocket, then sat cross-legged on the bed, put his hand into his arms, held the black brush and said in his heart: "Senior, thank you for your help today." ”
"You don't have to be polite with me. ”
Hearing this voice, Lin Xiu's body immediately shook, because it was the voice of the head Zhao Yuqi who came from the brush.
Just when Lin Xiu was panicking, the voice in the black brush came again: "Don't panic, I just secretly took away a trace of his vitality when Zhao Yuqi was looking into your whole body, and with this vitality, I can talk to you for a short time." ”
Lin Xiu took a deep breath at this time.
The voice continued to say in Lin Xiu's mind: "When Zhao Yuqi used the search ** to scan your whole body, I also saw through his soul memory, and I have something to tell you." ”
"Please give me advice. Lin Xiu said respectfully.
"In Zhao Yuqi's memory, I saw the so-called sword qi technique you cultivated, in fact, it was a spirit sword flow secret method of the Zhongnan faction, called the 'Four Elephants Sword Technique', and those masters of the Zhongnan faction have practiced it, but without the map you saw, they can only be regarded as beginners. ”
Lin Xiu thought for a moment and asked, "Then according to the seniors, what is the power of this Four Elephants Sword Technique?"
The gloomy voice let out a faint sneer, "This kind of thing belongs to the sword qi technique in the spirit sword flow, that is to say, no matter what level you cultivate, it will be more convenient to use, in terms of power, it was quite reluctant before the Yuan Infant Stage, but as long as it is slightly adjusted, hum, this Four Elephants Sword Technique can become a sword qi technique that is unmatched." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiu was a little excited in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest eagerness, instead he didn't pick up the conversation, but asked, "Senior, I can't detect the cultivation and spiritual power in my body now, is it also related to this Four Elephants Sword Technique?"
"Yes, the true power of the Four Elephants Sword Technique will only appear after the Void Realm, but I don't know why, on you, the Four Elephants Sword Technique has also shown some might, however, your cultivation is always insufficient, so the spiritual power and cultivation on your body are controlled by the method of the Four Elephant Sword Technique, but this is okay, because this control will not affect your actual situation, and it can also hide your cultivation, so as not to consume my vitality again. ”
At this point, Lin Xiu asked at the right time, "Then how should this Four Elephant Sword Technique be improved?"
For Lin Xiu's scheming, the person hidden in the brush not only did not dislike it, but appreciated it very much, he smiled lightly: "The method is actually extremely simple, as long as you run the method in reverse, and then change the sword finger to a snap of the finger, the power will naturally skyrocket." ”
"Reverse operation method?" Lin Xiu was a little puzzled, the sword finger was changed to a snap of the finger, this method was just a change in the method of urging the spell, Lin Xiu was not so strange, but if the spiritual power was reversed, could the Four Elephant Sword Technique still be used?
"Hmph, of course you can't do it, but as long as I'm here, it's easy to help you guard the acupoints and meridians, you can just practice with confidence, and in the future, when your strength is enough, you can control everything." ”
Lin Xiu nodded, and then he suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "Senior, have you seen Zhao Yuqi's memory, do you know what he did to Brother Shangguan?"
The voice paused, and then said slowly: "Don't approach that Shangguan Yuhu in the future, that person no longer exists." ”
"What?" Lin Xiu was at a loss.
"I don't have time to explain to you if it's superfluous, Lin Xiu, you remember, in four years, you will be selected by the Four Great Sects anyway to go to the Cold Mountain Heavenly Vein, where there is something that will be very useful to you and me. ”
Lin Xiu was still thinking about Shangguan Yuhu at this time, and his expression was a little sluggish.
The voice said again: "The cultivation realm is a very cruel place, no one can guarantee that they will survive tomorrow, especially a person like Shangguan Yuhu who is extremely talented and has a not stable personality, you don't have to be sad, in the future, you will encounter a lot of this kind of thing, in short, in the past four years, you must enter the spirit body space more, I will do my best to help you, and strive for four years later, you can cultivate to the great consummation of the Qi Condensation Period." Hmph, sixteen-year-old Condensation Great Perfection Cultivation, Lin Xiu, do you know that such a good thing is not something that anyone can encounter. ”
"The juniors obeyed. Lin Xiu said.
"There's one more thing you have to do for me. The man said, "Zhao Yuqi is just a knotted period, he scans my soul, and he can't see anything at all, but if one day, this memory is seen by his bullshit ancestors, my whereabouts may be exposed, so you must kill this person for me in the future, in addition, take care of the little thing next to you, it is not ordinary." ”
The voice in his head faded and faded completely.
At this moment, Lin Xiu's mind was full of Shangguan's brother's hearty smile, he couldn't forget Shangguan's kindness to him, and listening to the meaning of his predecessors, Shangguan Yuhu was probably more auspicious now, in an instant, the hatred in Lin Xiu's heart reached its peak, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuqi, I want you to be destroyed! (It feels good to write Zhixuan now, so the content of each chapter is relatively long, I hope you will support more, I will work harder to write, two more guarantees every day, so that you can appreciate it steadily, continue to ask for collections and recommendations, friends who want water experience to post in the comment area, whether your comments are praised or scolded, are very important to me, thank you.) )
