Chapter 43: The Aftermath
The next day, another note came in, and Guo Yuan, the deputy manager of the group, came to visit, and Wang Xian hurriedly welcomed him in.
The two saluted and sat down, and Guo Yuan smiled and said, "Daoist friends haven't seen each other for two years, and their cultivation has improved a lot." ”
Wang Xian also smiled slightly: "Daoyou also has obvious improvement." ”
Wang Xian knew that the other party could see that his own cultivation had reached the realm of consummation in the middle stage of qi refining. After two years of cultivation, Guo Yuan had also broken through from the fourth layer in the middle stage of qi refining to the fifth layer.
Generally speaking, the gas refining period takes at least four or five years from the early stage to the middle stage or from the middle stage to the end stage, and many people have no chance, and it is common for them to not be able to break through for decades or even a lifetime.
However, once it breaks through to the beginning, middle and end of the qi refining period, it is a matter of time before the corresponding breakthroughs at the three levels of consolidation, maturity and consummation are made in each period. As long as there are no accidents in cultivation, you will be able to achieve it.
Guo Yuan's breakthrough is relatively fast, Wang Xian's breakthrough is even faster, and the cultivators who can enter Huatian Sect are all outstanding choices, and it is not uncommon to be fast here.
Guo Yuan said: "Two years ago, we talked about not wanting this group to rank at the bottom of the task spirit stone list, but this group has been like this for half a year, which made me worry for a while. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Yuan paused, stared at Wang Xian with a pair of big eyes for a while, as if he wanted to see something, and seeing that Wang Xian still had a calm and calm expression, he continued: "Fortunately, there was a big change in the ranking yesterday afternoon, and the steward of this group informed me that the number of spirit stones in this group suddenly rose from 2.8 million to 5.8 million, and it became the sixth place. ”
Wang Xian still replied without waves: "Oh, there is such a thing, not bad." ”
Guo Yuan said: "The strange thing is that I don't know who completed the 3 million task this time, and the No. 18 task on the task list is just 3 million, and it was also announced that it was off the list yesterday after the recent closure." Judging from the changes on the list, some people in this group have completed the No. 18 task of the 37th line, and some good people from other groups have also come to inquire about the steward and me, but we don't know who it is. ”
Wang Xian looked at him left and right, and said: "It's always a blessing that this group can not be left behind, and the sect does not announce this aspect of the content, so it must have been considered." ”
Guo Yuan saw that Wang Xian didn't react, so he no longer doubted it. Below the middle stage of Qi refining in this group, the most incomprehensible thing for her was Wang Xian, the former opponent. When the two competed, she felt that Wang Xian was likely to hide a lot of means.
Since someone in this group completed the task of the 37th line, the steward asked her to see if it was possible for someone in the mid-term group to complete it, and if she could find out, it would be best to be willing to cooperate and form a team. She thought that she might as well come over and test Wang Xian.
In fact, Wang Qingfu didn't really expect to find these people among the mid-stage Qi refining cultivators. These people were able to destroy three Qi Refining Terminal Stage Cultivators, and he took it for granted that he secretly searched and tested among the Qi Refining Terminal Stage Cultivators, but the result was definitely nothing to gain.
Guo Yuan had more contact with the steward Wang Qingfu, and also learned a lot about the situation, so he chatted with Wang Xian. This group is the same as other groups, the completion of the task list is mainly based on the steward, supplemented by the deputy steward, and some people in the group are organized to complete it in teams. There are more than 6,000 missions on the mission list, ranked by task bounty.
After everyone's analysis, they basically believed that the first 1,100 or so tasks could only be completed by dispatching at least four or more monks at the end of Qi refining; the last 800 or so tasks could be completed by dispatching only three or four monks at the end of Qi refining; and a large number of tasks in the middle could be completed by multiple mid-stage Qi refining monks in a team, or one or two at the end of Qi refining.
Except for many monks who don't want to complete the task, monks who want to complete the task will generally find a steward or deputy steward to sign up, and the steward will recommend them to form a team. Everyone basically doesn't know each other when they first arrive, so it saves a lot of trouble, of course, with the exception of individual acquaintances who know each other and form their own teams.
Guo Yuan chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left, and Wang sent out the door first.
Wang Xian knew that Guo Yuan had the intention of asking him to sign up, but did not respond to whether to sign up. Judging from the completion of the task of this group, it is difficult to obtain a reward that satisfies oneself by cooperating with other monks, and it is easy to reveal the secrets of one's own high strength in the law.
The opponent that Wang wants to challenge first is at least the cultivation at the end of Qi refining, so that he can better temper himself. If he signs up, Guo Yuan is likely to form a team to go together, and it is too eye-catching to act with the deputy steward.
It can be estimated from the situation of each group that all the monks who often move around with the deputy steward have participated in the mission together, and they are also the strongest and most striking monks in the group.
Huang Jie in the first group and Dai Haijun in the fourth group selected the two or three strongest mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivators in the group to form a team together, and specifically selected 1,200 previous missions, which were the most famous among the mid-stage Qi Refining Monks.
The next morning, Wang Xian was meditating and practicing, and received a transmission note, it turned out that Ren Xing and Zhu Xia came together, Wang Xian smiled and greeted the door, the three of them finished saluting, introduced the front hall, and sat down around the table. Wang Xian first hugged his fists and congratulated Zhu Xia: "Congratulations to Daoyou for finally breaking through the early stage of qi refining and reaching the middle stage of qi refining. ”
Zhu Xia replied: "It's also fortunate that we cooperated to win the Qianyuan Dan last time, and it wasn't until half a year ago that I found the opportunity to break through, and with the help of the Qianyuan Dan, I finally succeeded in breaking through the bottleneck." ”
The breakthrough from the early stage to the middle stage, like the breakthrough in other periods, is a matter of course, just like the fetal movement in October, the qi is not there, and it is more dangerous to forcibly break through, and the last time Wang first broke through, he had a deep experience.
Zhu Xia smiled again and said, "Wang Daoyou and Ren Daoyou are also very fast." ”
Wang Xian had already seen that Ren Xing had broken through to the eighth layer realm at the end of qi refining, and compared to the seventh layer two years ago, he had indeed entered the realm faster, but Zhu Xia and Ren Xing had also seen that Wang Xian had reached the sixth layer of the middle stage of qi refining. In the past two years, the three of them have made a relatively rapid breakthrough, and they can't help but rejoice together.
Speaking of the breakthrough, Ren Xing, because he was the ninth group of stewards, had contact with other groups of stewards, so he continued to talk about the topic.
When I first arrived at South China Peak two years ago, among the managers of each group at the end of gas refining, the first six groups were the ninth layer of the gas refining period, the seventh and eighth groups were the eighth layer, and the ninth and tenth groups were the seventh layer.
The stewards of the ten groups were basically ranked in order of strength and weakness reflected in the competition at that time, and it can be said that they represented the strongest strength of the new disciples of the entire South China Peak at that time.
In the past two years, the seven or eight groups of stewards have reached the ninth layer, the ninth group of Ren Xing has reached the eighth layer, and only Wang Qingfu of the tenth group of Wang Xian is still on the seventh layer.
Moreover, in addition to the stewards, there were also six members of the final stage of Qi refining in each group who had also reached the eighth layer, two each in the first and fourth groups, and one each in the second and third groups. In this way, the strength of the first and fourth groups is ranked in the top two, and the tenth group has been at the bottom.
