Chapter XXXIII
Three days later, early in the morning, all six hundred and fifty-one new disciples were summoned to the empty flat on the mountainside. Bi Xiu announced the decision of the group, and published the list of groups and the description of the group.
In order to facilitate the management of cultivation, all the disciples were divided into ten groups this time. There were sixty-five disciples in each of the first to ninth groups, of which fifteen were in the early stage of Qi refining, twenty in the middle stage of Qi refining, and thirty in the end of Qi refining, and there were sixty-six disciples in the tenth group, one more mid-stage Qi refining disciple than the other groups.
In each group, Bi Xiu designated a disciple at the end of Qi refining and a disciple at the middle stage of Qi refining as the principal and deputy management disciples, who were responsible for managing the disciples of the group and arranging the affairs of the group. The main steward is mainly in charge of the disciples at the end of the group's qi refining, and the deputy steward is mainly in charge of the disciples in the middle and early stages of qi refining in the group.
Bi Xiu gave a brief introduction and encouragement to these steward disciples in turn, and the introduced steward disciples also came out one after another, clasped their fists and saluted, and made a appearance.
With the successive appearances of the disciples of the stewards above, some monks in the audience who had debuted early and had a wide range of knowledge also discussed, and exchanged information about these stewards with the surrounding monks. Because everyone is basically unfamiliar, there is no sound transmission to cover up.
In the competition, the ** person who left a deep impression on Wang Xian also became a disciple of the steward as expected.
The white-clothed elegant young monk Huang Jie became the first group of deputy stewards, and I heard that he was the grandson of the sect master of a first-class sect in the Xia Kingdom, and the black-robed middle-aged monk Dai Haijun became the fourth group of deputy stewards, and I heard that he was the son of the head of the Dai family, the four major Xiuzhen families in the Xia Kingdom.
Ren Xing was assigned to the ninth group as a manager, and in the final battle, he defeated his opponent with two mysterious weapons and rich experience in the final battle, and ranked among the top ten in the final stage of Qi refining. Zhu Xia was in the first group, and she showed super strength in the early stage of qi refining, and she was likely to become the first disciple among the early stage qi refining cultivators to step into the middle stage of qi refining.
Wang Xian was assigned to the tenth group, and when he saw Guo Yuan, the deputy steward of the tenth group, coming out of the ranks, he couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that this person was the girl in white who had fought against Wang Xian, and I heard that she performed well in the next few competitions, but Wang Xian didn't pay much attention to it, and sure enough, she had reservations when she competed with Wang Xian.
Wang first observed, as Bi Xiu said, the disciples in charge were all the stronger ones who showed strength in this competition. When the group was divided, due consideration was given to the balance of strength of each group, but it was slightly in order.
The first group of stewards was the strongest, and then weakened in the tenth group. Of course, this is only the strength of the steward, and compared to the huge team of more than 60 people in each group, it is difficult to say the real overall strength comparison of each group.
Wang Xian smiled bitterly, he relied on the talisman to pass the test from time to time, and he really didn't leave a good impression on Bi Xiu and everyone, the exercises are weak and the swordsmanship is weak, and no one knows when you will run out of talismans. It's no wonder that when he reported his name, many people around him looked at him with a little disdain, which made Wang Xian a little displeased.
Next, Bi Xiu announced the list of deacon disciples in each group who found the errand of the sect, a total of **ten, less than one-sixth, most of them are those who do not have enough background, not many spirit stones, and relatively weak mana.
Finally, Bi Xiu explained the task ranking method of each group after grouping. Huatianzong has issued a unified sect task reward list in the whole sect, and for the non-routine tasks undertaken by the sect, according to the difficulty and degree of risk, there are different spirit stone rewards to encourage disciples at all levels of the sect to complete.
These tasks are divided into the outer list that is open in the whole sect and the inner list that is only open in the inner gate, and the outer list tasks are generally within the influence of the sect, which can be completed or not, and it is beneficial to the sect to complete, and it is not a big problem to complete it.
The inner list is not limited, but it is more difficult and more dangerous, and it has a greater impact on the power and honor of the sect.
The outer list is at the deacon disciples who are responsible for the release and statistics of the tasks in South China Peak, and the disciples read the jade slips, receive the tasks, report the tasks after completion, receive the rewards, and all look for the deacon disciples. Once the task is claimed by the disciple, it will be temporarily sealed immediately, and will not be opened unless the news of the disciple's mission failure is confirmed.
As one of the seven major sects, Huatianzong has a large sphere of influence and many tasks. The sect will not announce the completion of the task by the disciples, and only the high-level members of the sect above the Jindan period can check it, but each summit will announce the total number of reward spirit stones for each group of the peak to complete the task.
First, to encourage each group to compete; second, to encourage each group to cooperate to win more tasks, after all, many tasks are too risky and difficult to rely on the strength of one person, and are suitable for several people to cooperate to complete; third, the number of spirit stones for each group and individual to complete the task can compare their contribution and strength, which is beneficial to obtaining more sect resources and high-level appreciation.
For the disciples of South China Peak, if they can build a foundation and become official disciples of the outer gate, the sect will assign these formal disciples to the four major peaks of the outer gate, and the elders of the Jindan period will select the disciples.
The reward for the task is completely incomparable with the reward received by the deacon's disciples for performing routine tasks, and the reward is at least dozens of times higher than the reward. For monks who don't want to be deacon's disciples, spend a lot of time on cultivation, and are strapped for money, this is an effective choice to obtain the spirit stones needed for cultivation.
After Bi Xiu announced the ranking method of each group's tasks, and encouraged each group to cultivate well and complete more sect tasks, he announced the distribution of disciple robes, and then disbanded, and he left first. At this time, several deacon disciples began to give each of them three sets of cyan robes, which were the same style as the green robes of the deacon disciples during the Qi refining period.
The robe is made of comfortable fabric, the color is heavy, and the chest is embroidered with the logo of Huatianzong. A cloud floats on the word "mountain" in the shape of a mountain, and five peaks appear in the shape of the mountain, the middle one is the highest peak, Tianyuan Peak, and the next two verticals are two superimposed peaks to represent the other four peaks.
After the competition, some deacons and disciples visually inspected the figures of these beginner monks and wrote down the size according to the results of the competition. Most of the disciples were quite excited to receive their robes, and they began to talk in groups and returned to their residences one after another.
On the way back to his residence, Wang Xian pondered, cultivation and completing the tasks of the sect are very important, without a good foundation of cultivation and strength, it is risky to complete the task, but just cultivating has strength, and completing the task is not ideal, and it is not conducive to the development of the sect in the future.
However, Wang Xian already has enough spirit stones in his hands, and the top priority is to cultivate Huatian Gong and Huatian Sword, as much as possible to impact the end of Qi refining, change the unfavorable situation of his own weak martial arts, weak swordsmanship, and excessive reliance on runes, and the completion of the task can be slowed down first, and it is not too late to catch up later.
On the second day of returning to his residence, Wang Xian came to Guo Yuan's residence and entered the transmission note, Guo Yuan quickly opened the door, smiled and said to Wang Xian: "Fellow Daoists, please come in." ”
Wang first hugged Guo Yuan and saluted, entered the residence, and the two sat around the table.
Wang Xian said: "Congratulations to Daoyou, you have to be appointed deputy steward of this group. ”
Guo Yuan smiled and shook his head and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, the poor Dao is just a fluke, the Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger in the middle stage of this peak qi refining group is this group, and there is no shortage of people who are better than the poor Dao, just say that you are not under me." ”
Wang Xian said with a sigh: "Daoyou is too humble, I don't know what your friends plan to do in the future?"
Guo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Cultivate for a while first, and then see the opportunity to complete some tasks." I guess the same is true for Daoyou, right?"
Seeing that Wang nodded first, Guo Yuan said again: "Daoyou should know that the strength of this group seems to be slightly inferior to other groups, although Poor Dao is not interested in fighting to win, but if the task is ranked at the bottom, everyone will not look good, and I hope that Daoyou will help you at that time." ”
Wang Xian nodded and said, "Since they are in the same group, they should be in the same boat." ”
Next, Guo Yuan said that after coming back yesterday, he had met with the steward of this group, and the steward of the tenth group was named Wang Qingfu, who was not tall and slightly chubby and was a monk at the end of the Qi refining period, with two low-level mystical weapons in the top ten in the competition, a golden sword, a golden net, both offensive and defensive.
Guo Yuan also mentioned that he would visit several mid-stage Qi refining disciples in his group who were slightly stronger in the past two days to ask for help. The two chatted a little more about their understanding of Hua Tianzong and what they had seen in the cultivation realm, and Wang Xian took his leave and returned to his residence.
Most of the new disciples of South China Peak, like Wang Xian, did not rush to make friends with the same group of monks in the group and form a team to receive tasks after returning, but began to concentrate on cultivation.
