Chapter 39: Retreat and Practice
"All the disciples gather in the sect square!" A divine thought emanated from the main hall of the Returning Dao Sect and spread to the entire mountain gate of the Returning Dao Sect, which was the message of the elders of the Returning Dao Sect to the disciples in the sect.
As this divine thought passed, some of the disciples walked out of the retreat cave and flew towards the main hall of the Returning Dao Sect.
If an elder recites a summoning, every disciple must be present, which is the rule of the Returning Dao sect.
On the cliff wall, when he felt the call of this divine thought, Zhang Fan's cave stone was pushed away, and after Zhang Fan came out of the cave, he summoned Li Jiu's cave a few times, and after a while, Li Jiu also walked out of the cave.
Just when the two of them walked out of the cave, another divine thought came out of the valley, which was the same as the meaning of the first divine thought, that is, to call all the disciples to gather in the valley.
In the past, there were often elders of the Returning Dao Sect who sent messages to the disciples in the sect, but it was not uncommon for an elder in the sect to communicate at the same time.
Maybe the sect elder was about to convey something important, both of them thought so and flew down the cliff.
When Zhang Fan and the others flew to the square, all the disciples had already gathered in the square at this time, and several elders were standing in front of the disciples, and it seemed that Zhang Fan and the two were the last disciples.
Glancing at Zhang Fan, who was late, an elder said angrily: "Next time, if you are late again, don't come."
Zhang Fan and the two hurriedly nodded yes, and then stood in the team. Because Zhang Fan didn't know anyone except Li Jiu, he was a fresh face, so many disciples were looking at him.
Zhang Fan didn't care, but closed his eyes and waited quietly.
In front of the main hall in the square, an old man squinted his eyes and scanned the crowd below.
Although the distance was far, Zhang Fan still felt the unfathomable momentum of this elder, and his cultivation must be above the Qi refining period.
Zhang Fan asked Li Jiu, "Senior Brother Li Jiu, who is that elder in the palace?"
"That's our Great Elder Meng Yu of the Returning Dao Sect, and he is the most powerful of all the elders, because our Returning Dao Sect Sect Master is in retreat all year round, so the Great Elder of the Returning Dao Sect has always been in charge of the dots. ”
Li Jiu was already surprised by the performance of this fellow disciple in his heart, and estimated that Zhang Fan might really be like he said, where in the sect he retreated for a few years before leaving the mountain, otherwise, how could he not even know the great elder of the sect.
Looking at the aura of the old man and elder in front of the palace, Zhang Fan felt as if there was an invisible oppression on his body, so he asked again: "Senior brother, what kind of cultivation does this great elder have?"
"The cultivation of the Great Elder, except for the sect master of retreat, is the strongest among all the elders, and it is said that it is in the late stage of foundation building, but no one knows how much."
Li Jiu's words also revealed an expression of awe towards this Great Elder, and it could be seen that this Great Elder was also quite powerful in the Returning Dao Sect.
Although Zhang Fan's current cultivation is only in the middle of the Qi Refining Period, he is still very clear about the realm division of the Cultivation Realm, in the same realm, a monk in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period can resist ten disciples in the middle of the Qi Refining Period.
If it is a foundation building stage cultivator, even a hundred disciples in the late stage of the Qi refining period are not opponents, this is where the difference in the realm lies, which is why the disciples of the Qi refining stage are sincerely afraid of high-level disciples.
"Then what about the sect master of our Returning Dao Sect, and what kind of cultivation is the sect master of our Returning Dao Sect?" Zhang Fan continued.
Although he was already an inner disciple of the Returning Dao Sect, Zhang Fan still didn't even know who the sect master of the Returning Dao Sect was.
"Our sect master has returned to Hongfei to cultivate as a high power, and he has reached the Dan stage, and he is the only monk in the Dan stage of our Daoist Sect. However, the sect master does not ask about the world and retreats all year round, and it is difficult for us disciples to see him in ordinary times. ”
It can be seen that Li Jiu's patience is very good, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been impatient with his fellow disciples who didn't even know these things.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Meng Yucai stood up from the chair.
Glancing at the disciples in the square, Meng Yulang said: "This time I summoned you here, mainly to tell you one thing, in order to speed up your cultivation progress, all the disciples of the Returning Dao Sect will go to the Gathering Spirit Valley to cultivate in the next three months, and they are not allowed to step out of the mountain gate, whoever dares to violate it will be severely punished!"
Before Meng Yu's words were finished, these disciples in the square suddenly began to whisper. "Cultivating in the Gathering Spirit Valley? Why do you want to cultivate in the Gathering Spirit Valley for no reason? Is something going to happen?"
Meng Yu frowned, looked at the disciples who were whispering, and suddenly those disciples closed their mouths and stopped talking.
"Not only that, but the supply of spirit stones for each disciple has increased to one per month, of course, these spirit stones are not for nothing, if those disciples do not break through after three months, they will be expelled from the sect, you know. ”
After Meng Yu said this, these disciples suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and began to talk in a whisper again.
"What, a disciple who doesn't break through for three months will be expelled, I stayed in the middle of the Qi Refining Period for more than three years, and now I am told to reach the late stage of the Qi Refining Period in just three months, this is simply impossible. ”
"Yes, if you can break through, you will break through a long time ago, who would want to stay in the original realm. Several disciples from the early stage of the Qi refining period said.
Several Qi Refining Stage disciples thought of the key to this, and said in a low voice of indignation: "This is clearly an excuse to squeeze us low-level disciples out of the sect. ”
Qi refining stage cultivators like them, who have a low level of cultivation, if they leave the sect, they will completely become grassroots cultivators with no sect and no sect.
Although this Guidao Sect is only a second-rate sect, as long as it is a disciple of the Guidao Sect, he can receive spirit stones to cultivate every three months, but if he leaves the sect, he will not even have the spirit stones for cultivation at that time.
Therefore, these low-level Qi Refining Stage disciples were naturally extremely sensitive to Meng Yu's words.
The discussions of these low-level disciples were all heard by Meng Yu, but Meng Yu ignored these statements.
In Meng Yu's heart, these low-level disciples are inferior in qualifications, have no cultivation value, and are simply a group of wastes that waste the sect's spirit stones, and every spirit stone in the Returning Dao Sect is not easy to come by, so the sect should put the spirit stones on the disciples who are worthy of cultivation.
Meng Yu continued to say expressionlessly: "Our Returning Dao Sect does not have spiritual vein resources, and now the supply of spiritual stones in the sect is tight, and the sect master instructed our elders to cut some of the disciples in the sect and remove the merits. Leave the excess resources for those qualified disciples to cultivate.
Therefore, I now make corresponding cultivation requirements according to your different cultivation behaviors, disciples in the early stage of the Qi Refining Period must reach the middle stage of the Qi Refining Period, and disciples in the middle of the Qi Refining Period must break through to the late stage of the Qi Refining Period.
As for the disciples in the late stage of the Qi refining period, foundation building is a big threshold, and it is not easy to cross, and I don't force you, but you must also make some progress. ”
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of some disciples in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period were obviously light, as long as they were disciples in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, they could continue to stay in the sect regardless of whether they broke through or not.
Hearing Meng Yu say this, everyone knew that it was impossible to change this decision, and some disciples in the early and middle stages of the Qi Refining Stage had a look of despair on their faces, as if they had seen the end of their expulsion from the sect.
Unlike those disciples who were full of despair, when he heard this, Zhang Fan's heart was relieved.
He has a Qiankun bag on his body, and he is the same wherever he cultivates, and now he is still worried about Chen Li and Peng Cheng in the sect, so it would naturally be great if he could leave the Guidao Sect in advance.
Meng Yu finally looked at those dejected disciples and said: "If you still can't break through after doing this, it means that you have no chance with Xiuzhen, and staying in the sect is not a human way, not only is it a waste of time, but you are also looked down upon everywhere, you just go back to the world and stay there." ”
