Chapter 57: Participating Teams
The next day, Zhong Yunhai took Lu Tong and Fu Yang to the elders' hall early.
Lu Tong came to the Elders' Hall for the first time since he joined the sect, and yesterday he was still thinking about how brilliant and magnificent this Hall of Deliberation was, but now when he really came here, Lu Tong was a little disappointed, saying that it was the Hall of Deliberations, but in fact, it was a very large room. The sleek round wooden table is surrounded by eight chairs that exude a quaint atmosphere, the round table xiangshang is a three-level jade step, the jade step xiangshang is a huge jade wall, the wall is carved with a natural landscape, five flashing silver waterfalls fall from mid-air, converge in the center of a deep pool, five huge water columns emerge from the center of the deep pool are more than three feet above the water surface, and the top of the jade wall is eight large characters that are full of agility and are blue-green and slowly flowing:" The silver waterfall goes straight down, and the clear spring soars to the sky. Underneath the jade walls are two huge wooden round stools, exuding an aura of vicissitudes.
"The eight chairs correspond to the eight Great Elders of the Great Jiedan, and the two huge wooden round stools should be prepared for the Yuanying Elders, this is where the highest levels of the Qingquan Sect gather together to discuss important matters, and there seems to be nothing unusual. Lu Tong said secretly in his heart.
But when he approached the wooden table, after a careful inspection, it suddenly dawned on him, the simpler the more things have a deep connotation, the wooden round table chair used in this meeting is actually made of dragon wood, the breath emitted by this dragon wood itself has the effect of purifying the body and mind, nourishing vitality, ordinary monks want to have a piece to wear on their bodies, meditate and nourish their qi, and this dragon wood grows extremely slowly, it is only a thousand years to have the thickness of an arm, and it is not a problem for more than a dozen people to sit around this huge dragon wooden table in front of him, I really don't know how many years it has grown, how did the Qingquan Sect find it, and place this thing hereγ
"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Lu. Seeing Lu Tong looking at the Panlong wooden table in a slight trance, Fu Yang reminded him in time.
"Senior brother has been here before?" Lu Tong looked at Panlongmu and asked Fu Yang.
"Not really, but I've heard others talk about the structure of this council hall, and I'm just prepared for it. Fu Yang replied.
Lu Tong nodded, and then looked at the crowd on the other side of the main hall, when they came in, there were already more than 20 people waiting there in groups of three or five, Lu Tong observed slightly, among the disciples in the Qi cultivation period, he only saw Yuan Feng and Lei Kun standing alone in the corner, he had never seen the rest of the disciples, he knew several foundation building monks, Zhong Yunhai was standing with Huang Wanxing, Hao Lianfeng, and Meng Wenyu and talking about something in a whisper.
"Senior brother, why did so many senior brothers and sisters appear in this sect all at once, and many junior brothers have never met. Lu Tong asked Fu Yang in a low voice.
"It's no wonder that you rarely show up in the sect, and the senior brothers and sisters present rarely walk around outside, so it's not surprising that you don't know each other. β
Fu Yang opened his mouth to reply, and then whispered to Lu Tong:
"In fact, among these dozen people, only five of them are most likely to enter the Yunyang Ghost Tomb to find the heart of the spiritual vein, if it weren't for Senior Brother Zhong Biao and several other top disciples who fell in the Wurime Mountain Range a few years ago, it would not be the turn of disciples like you and me to participate in this Ten Sects Martial Arts!" Fu Yang sighed when he said this, and then introduced it to Lu Tong in a low voice.
"See the one with the black mask over there?" Fu Yang motioned with his eyes to Lu Tong to look ahead to the left.
Lu Tong followed Fu Yang's gaze, and saw a slightly tall disciple with a black mask on his face, Lu Tong just wanted to release his divine sense to see his true face clearly, so he heard Fu Yang on one side say:
"Senior Brother Lu, don't waste your efforts, that black mask was given by the Supreme Elder of this sect, Jin Dan and below will not see his true face clearly, and if you use your divine sense to investigate, it will make Senior Brother Lei Heng unhappy. β
"Senior Brother Lei Heng?" Lu Tong looked puzzled.
"Senior Brother Lei Heng and Senior Brother Lei Kun on the corner are both descendants of Elder Yuanying surnamed Lei of this sect, but this person's spiritual root is the same as you, it is the Five Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Root, slightly better than you, and the water attribute is slightly prominent, such a qualification is extremely slow to cultivate, even inferior to Lei Kun, who is a few years younger than him, but this Senior Brother Lei Heng is also extremely tenacious, with the help of the elixir of the Yuanying elders, he quickly entered the state of great perfection in the Qi training period, but you must not look down on him because of this, since the time of taking the first elixir, this person has made a heavy oath, he will not take off the mask in this life, and he will only live to strengthen the Qingquan Sect in this life, such a person deserves our respectγ β
Fu Yang lowered his voice to the lowest level and then said in Lu Tong's ear: "I don't know which sect elder came out of the mouth, Senior Brother Lei Heng has taken too much pills, and his cultivation in this life will reach the stage of knot pills at most, and he will never exceed half a step of knot pills. β
After hearing this, Lu Tong also frowned, it seems that what Blood Remnant Yang said is not bad at all, it is best not to take any elixir to quickly improve cultivation during the Qi cultivation period, I don't know if Ding Tie has eaten the stone melon he gave him? But after thinking about it, during the Dan Period, there were thousands of monks in the Qingquan Sect, and there were only eight people in the Dan Period, and a few of the outward disciples like him could reach the Dan Stage in their lifetime, and all the outward disciples did not want to take the elixir, but they just had no way to get it.
"And Lei Kun in the corner over there, although he only has an eighth-layer Qi cultivation cultivation, but Lei Linggen is special, that is, ordinary Qi cultivation tenth-layer cultivators are not necessarily his opponents, this Lei Heng and Lei Kun are almost certain to win two places to enter the Yunyang Ghost Tomb. β
Lu Tong glanced at Lei Kun in the corner, and Lei Kun nodded at Lu Tong rarely.
Fu Yang paused slightly and continued:
"The slightly ruddy monk over there is named Hao Tianyu, it is said that he is a child of Hao Lianfeng's mortal realm, he just entered the tenth layer of cultivation half a year ago, four spiritual roots, and his qualifications are not good, and it is estimated that he has also taken pills or spiritual fruits that rapidly improve his cultivation, and he is the oldest among us, just on the verge of overage, and he can basically be sure to win a place in the competition. β
Seeing Lu Tong glance at Hao Tianyu a few times, Fu Yang continued:
"And Senior Sister Huang Youqian over there, Senior Brother Yuan Feng Yuan, although they have the same cultivation as me, they have entered the ninth layer of qi cultivation as early as three years ago, and it is estimated that they are not far from stepping into the tenth layer, and the two of them can basically be sure to win two places, except for these five people, other participating disciples like us, it is estimated that they have a long experience and increase their experience, if they want to win a place to enter, in addition to strength, they must also have luck. β
After listening to Fu Yang's explanation of these participating disciples, Lu Tong just wanted to ask about something else, but when he saw a commotion in everyone, they all fell silent, and Lu Tong also quickly closed his mouth and stood up, looking outside the main hall.
I saw Hao Qiuyuan, Baili Wentian, and Chu Xiong quickly entering the main hall.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly paid homage: "See the head, deputy head, and Elder Chu." β
"Let's all get up! This time the ten sects will be martial, related to the future of the sect, the sect will be led by Hao Zhangmen to participate, and I hope that all the children will work hard, hoping that more people can win the quota to enter the Yunyang ghost mound, and bring back more spiritual vein hearts to the sect. The disciples of the second round will be given heavy rewards respectively, for the disciples who can enter the Yunyang Ghost Tomb and come back safely, for the disciples who can get back the heart of the spiritual vein, the Elder Taishang of this sect will personally receive them, and the rewards will be decided by the Elder Taishang, and the specific matters of the 'Ten Sects Huiwu' will be conveyed by the Elder Chu of this sect. After Baili Wentian stood still, he quickly said to everyone.
After Baili Wentian finished speaking, Lu Tong made a slight calculation, this time, the 'Ten Sects Huiwu' Qingquan Sect sent a total of two elders in the late stage of the Jiedan, four monks in the late stage of foundation building, and twenty-six top disciples in the Qi refining period to participate, which can be described as unprecedentedly powerful, accounting for almost one-third of the Qingquan Sect's high-level strength, it seems that the rest of the shili who participated in the 'Ten Sects Huiwu' will also send a team that is not weaker than the sect to participate, and in the next game, you can't be careless at all, if you are a little negligent, you may be defeated, and your previous efforts will be wasted.
After Chu Xiong listened to Baili Wentian, he took a step forward and said quickly and briefly: "This time, a total of two hundred and sixty disciples from the ten sects who are above the eighth level of the Qi cultivation period participated. Ten sects will be martial', in order for the ten sects to have a guaranteed quota to enter the Yunyang ghost mound, each sect determines two disciples by themselves, do not participate in the competition, and directly promote, after comprehensive consideration, the sect determines that the disciples who are directly promoted are Lei Heng and Hao Tianyu, and the remaining two hundred and forty disciples of the ten sects will draw lots for the knockout round to compete for another thirty places, and the winner of the first round of zuihou will win the place to enter the Yunyang ghost mound. β
Then Chu Xiong explained in detail the lottery rules in the 'Ten Sects of Martial Arts', the situation of the matches in the knockout round, and other details, after speaking, Chu Xiong stood aside and waited for the head of the sect to issue the departure order.
Hao Qiuyuan stood on the jade steps, looked at the twenty-six top disciples in the Qi cultivation period below, a look of determination appeared on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Disciples, the 'Ten Sects Huiwu' is once in two hundred years, not everyone has the opportunity to participate, for the sake of the Qingquan Sect, but also for yourself, take advantage of this opportunity and set off." β
After Hao Qiuyuan finished speaking, he took a step and walked quickly towards the Panlong wooden table.
This is the second time Lu Tong has listened to this Hao master's speech, and it is still so short and powerful, because this head of the sect has risked his life to fight with the head of the Tianfu Sect, for this person, Lu Tong is full of gratitude in his heart.
"Are you Lu Tong?" When Hao Qiuyuan passed by Lu Tong's side, he glanced at Lu Tong's right shoulder, a faint look of disappointment appeared on his face, and he suddenly asked.
"Junior, Lu Tong, I am grateful for the grace of the head of the family. β
When Lu Tong lowered his head and answered, he saw the look of disappointment on Hao Qiuyuan's face, although he was wronged, it was inconvenient to explain, and he could only prove it to the head with practical actions when he was meeting the martial arts.
"It is the duty of the head of this sect to protect the disciples, you should take good control of yourself, and don't let the head of this sect down. β
At this time, Hao Qiuyuan was also muttering secretly in his heart: "It is impossible for this junior disciple named Lu Tong to deliberately hide his cultivation at this time, after all, it is also a genius to go from the sixth layer to the eighth layer in three years, although he has greater hopes for him, but after all, the cultivation time is too short, and he can only look at the performance of this disciple in the future." β
Hao Qiuyuan walked quickly to the side of the Panlong Wooden Table, holding the table with both hands, and infusing mana, only to see the huge Territory Dragon Wooden Table slowly crack from the middle, and a large teleportation array shone brightly in the exclamations of all the top disciples.
"Up to seven people at a time, target the Su family, let's go. After Hao Qiuyuan finished speaking, he led Hao Lianfeng and the remaining five Qi cultivation stage disciples to stand on the teleportation array, and with the flash of light, it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and then everyone left the Qingquan Sect Elder Council Hall in four batches through the teleportation array, Lu Tong left with the master, Huang Wanxing and others, and when everyone disappeared, the light of the teleportation circle receded, and the coiling dragon wooden table slowly docked together, and the entire council hall returned to silence.
