Chapter 407 The Daughter of the True Immortal
Just as Jiang Yujiu was flying down in the colorful mist, she didn't know that the so-called unknown number one on the list had already arrived at a maple forest on a high mountain and was looking at her from afar.
“The mentality of practitioners today is indeed much calmer.”
In comparison, those practitioners who received his small gifts in ancient times were more "bitter and vengeful".
He withdrew his gaze and looked into the depths of the starry sky again.
On the fourth planet of Yuyao, Gu Wangjun, who has the help of the 'Ring Grandpa', is studying at school honestly.
During the day, he practiced the "Basic Qi Training Method" and the swordsmanship in the "Refining Yin-Shiming Sword Sutra". After school, he went home and asked Leng Rou for advice on how to make talismans.
Of course, Leng Rou would always make some sarcastic remarks every time she answered his questions. After all, his talent in swordsmanship was really average.
This guy is in such a state, having missed the opportunity to learn from the Sword Ancestor, yet he still pretends to be calm and unconcerned.
It's like a pig with a green onion in its nose pretending to be an elephant!
I get angry every time I think about it.
In this situation, Gu Wangjun finally couldn't hold back and started to quarrel with her, and the filter he had when they first met was completely shattered.
But overall, Leng Rou, the 'ring grandpa', is quite responsible except for his foul mouth.
In addition, although Gu Wangjun's talent in swordsmanship is average, he is quite talented in making talismans.
With Leng Rou's guidance, he should be able to make basic non-lethal talismans, such as cleaning talismans, heating talismans, etc. after a while.
The talisman paper needed to draw basic talismans is quite cheap. Although the spiritual ink is more expensive, as long as the success rate of talisman making is above 10%, there is still a certain profit.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
There is no such thing as pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face. After all, even the biggest boss in his mind, the planetary guardian You Hao, has been brought down and will soon be taken back to the Sword Sect for trial.
As for picking up bargains on the black market or visiting the remains of ancient cave dwellings, that is even more impossible.
How could an ordinary student have access to the so-called "black market"?
As a habitable planet with a relatively recent ecological transformation, Yuyao's fourth planet did not have any ancient caves waiting for him to explore...
So apart from the fact that his cultivation progress was a little faster than before and that he had learned a sword scripture and the method of making talismans, his life was actually no different from before.
In fact, because there is more to learn every day, I am as tired as a dog these two days.
Moreover, the sword skills in "Refining Yin-Shiming Sword Sutra" were too difficult. He hadn't made any progress in two days, so now he didn't even want to touch the sword!
At this point, Gu Wangjun, who once fantasized about being the protagonist of the "loser" story, finally faced reality.
Although sword cultivation is good, it is not what I want to do. I'd better focus on making talismans.
Perhaps I am the protagonist of the 'daily flow'?
This is quite normal. After all, who hasn't fantasized about being the protagonist? As long as you are not as "determined" as Jiuyu, it generally won't have any impact.
Then he glanced at the other two lucky ones.
There was no difference either. Both of them studied hard in school, and one of them even made a small fortune by collecting 'Sword Ancestor Snowflakes'.
"..."
It's quite good at seizing opportunities.
"It's still a lot worse than Yunlu and Xiao Fan." Xu Xing commented.
Even Jiang Yujiu was still a long way behind them. After all, he was an inner sect disciple of the Immortal Sect and a charm cultivator who had reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.
"Maybe things will be different later." Xu Xing smiled and disappeared.
What happens at one moment is not indicative of what will happen in the future.
……
……
The Patriarch's Cave.
Mei Zu was no longer dressed in the same way as before, but had changed into a very loose and casual goose yellow pajamas, which was extremely simple and elegant.
But the charm revealed in those sparkling eyes had not diminished in the slightest. She leaned diagonally on the soft couch, and the delicate collarbone at the collar was as white as the cold moon.
Yawning lazily, she chuckled and said, "Brother Dao is back."
"Ah."
Xu Xing looked at her strangely and sat down on the mahogany chair.
"I dressed up specially yesterday. I am usually alone, so of course I do whatever is comfortable for me." Mei Zu took the initiative to explain, and then asked curiously, "Isn't Sword Master like this in private?"
"Well...if you are curious, you can ask Senior Sister yourself."
"She wouldn't tell me." She waved her hand. "I always thought she was really aloof."
The spiritual network is really a good thing, otherwise the Sword Master would not have revealed his true identity so quickly.
Xu Xing did not comment. He had heard this many times.
Senior sister was indeed pretending at the beginning, but after going through some things, she really didn’t like to talk much anymore.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late, come on and continue our 'dual cultivation'." Mei Zu sat up.
Double cultivation...
Xu Xing was too lazy to say anything more: "If there is still no progress in the next two days, then I have to go back and prepare for the 'Immortal Sect Competition'."
In fact, he also had a hunch that it would be difficult to gain anything in such a short time.
"The Immortal Sect Competition... I remember that in the last Immortal Sect Competition, the Sword Sect ranked first in terms of overall performance."
The main reason was that Jian Zun often showed off her apprentice in the group during that period.
"Well, the Hehuan Sect is the last one." Xu Xing reminded.
"Yeah, both of our families are number one!" Mei Zu said nonchalantly.
"..."
With such an old ancestor, it’s no wonder that the contestants from the Hehuan Sect are so useless.
"My disciples and grandchildren are not good at fighting, so I won't force them."
There is no need to mention the charm cultivators and the gradually declining joy cultivators. Although the celestial cultivators have great advantages over ordinary practitioners, they are only limited to ordinary practitioners.
Those who can participate in the Immortal Sect Competition are all the best of the younger generation, a small group of the most outstanding people in the Taixuan Realm.
The advantage of celestial practitioners is really not that great.
As for those who truly realized the inheritance of "true self", there are only two among the younger generation of Hehuan Sect.
One of them met Chi Jiuyu and they didn't fight each other, and the other one met a Taoist disciple of Tai Shang Taoist Sect, so they didn't fight each other either.
"But Yinxue was very unhappy. She even came back specially to bring all the contestants from last time for special training. The ranking of Hehuan Sect should be higher this time."
"If it's Yinxue... that's not surprising."
In addition to having a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Ji Yinxue is also an extremely strong-willed person. She has always regarded Xu Xianning as her nemesis, but unfortunately she has never won.
In other words, among the Dongzhen or Tongxuan of her generation, there is no one who is not inferior to Xu Xianning.
"By the way, how is Xian Ning now?" Since they were talking about this, Mei Zu just asked this question.
She was not very familiar with Xu Xing’s other disciples, but Xu Xianning was an exception.
There's nothing we can do about it, it's because our own disciples always cause trouble for others.
After a few interactions, even though they were not familiar with each other, they became familiar with each other.
"Almost done, I'll be back in a while."
"So fast?" Mei Zu was a little surprised. "How sure are you?"
"It's hard to predict, but I think it's just a ray of hope."
Countless practitioners have come forward one after another, practicing day and night, making all kinds of calculations, all for the sake of this glimmer of hope.
"I hope she can..."
At this point, Mei Zu could only offer this blessing.
Afterwards, the two of them once again began to try to figure out a way to resolve the "Daowang".
"Brother, what do you plan to name the shortcut method we used earlier?"
"It's not perfect yet, so I haven't thought about it... Do you have any suggestions?" "How about calling it 'The Method of Killing Me and Transcending'?"
"Transcendence... have you been thinking about this for a long time?"
"Hmm~"
…………
In the blink of an eye, it was two days later.
On this day, two special guests came to the Sword Sect, and even the Sect Master Du Ruoheng came out to receive them personally.
"Brother Du, long time no see, how are you these days?"
In a hall used to receive foreign guests, a Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, was smiling.
The dark green Taoist crown was adorned with yin-yang jade pendants, and cloud patterns could be faintly seen embroidered on the corners of his robe.
He has a sage-like demeanor and an extraordinary posture.
It was the leader of the Tai Shang Taoist Sect - Cheng Junming.
Long time no see you*!
Pretending to be a decent person.
Du Ruoheng secretly complained in his heart, but because there were other people around, he restrained himself and did not lose his composure.
"Everything is fine. I haven't seen Brother Cheng for a long time. His cultivation has become more and more profound."
As he spoke, his peripheral vision noticed the young woman with fair skin and bright eyes standing next to him.
He was wearing a blue-grey Taoist robe, with an expressionless face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes like deep springs.
Zhao Ruohan, the newly promoted disciple of the Taishang Taoist sect.
Twenty-five years old, in the early stage of transformation, she is the daughter of Patriarch Hongzun.
The daughter of a true immortal is naturally extraordinary. She is born with all kinds of strange visions and has innate supernatural powers.
However, in order to prevent his innate strength from affecting his path, his special abilities were sealed by Grandmaster Hongzun when he was a child.
This level of cultivation was gained through hard work!
I have to say, Grandmaster Hongzun is still strong despite his old age...
Cough!
I am speaking nonsense, please don’t blame me, Master!
In short, this Taoist is one of the biggest opponents of the Sword Sect in this Immortal Sect Competition!
She is in the Spirit Transformation Stage and has unlocked some of her innate magical powers!
"I wonder who this is..."
Although he had found out the answer long ago, Du Ruoheng still asked in a pretentious manner.
Cheng Junming secretly despised Du Ruoheng's behavior in his heart, but he also pretended to be serious and flicked his whisk: "This is my Taishang Dao Sect's new disciple, Zhao Ruohan."
Daozi is considered the successor to the future sect leader, but there is more than one.
"Greetings, Sect Master." Zhao Ruohan stood up and bowed.
Although she is the daughter of a true immortal, she is still young, and the person in front of her is the leader of the immortal sect, so she naturally cannot be impolite.
"Don't be so polite, Daozi." Du Ruoheng said hurriedly.
When Zhao Ruohan took his seat again, he coughed lightly and said, "The ancestors have agreed that the division of the contestants in this Immortal Sect Competition will remain the same as in previous years."
As the first and second in the last Immortal Sect Competition.
According to the rules, this year's Immortal Sect Competition will be organized by the Sword Sect and the Supreme Taoist Sect.
However, this time it is special, and the specific methods and rules still need to wait for the master to agree on them.
However, we can first determine the candidates who will participate in the Immortal Sect Competition. There are a few who can be "recommended" without participating in the selection.
"This is the first edition list of my Sword Sect contestants."
Du Ruoheng handed Cheng Junming a piece of jade the size of a book page, on which the names of the contestants were written in golden letters.
Zhao Ruohan, who had been sitting there like a piece of wood, finally moved and looked at the jade slab.
Soon she locked onto her target!
Chi Jiuyu was in the second row, which was the Nascent Soul level row.
Her breathing stagnated, and she clenched her fists. She couldn't help but ask, "She has reached the Spiritual Transformation stage, so why is she still in the Nascent Soul stage?"
Chi Jiuyu, who had transformed into a spirit, ran to Yuanying...
Go beat the baby?
"The contestants are divided into groups based on both realm and age." Du Ruoheng explained with a smile, "Junior Master was promoted to the Spiritualization Stage at the age of 22, and he is only 23 years old now. Taking all factors into consideration, he should be classified in the Nascent Soul Stage."
Du Ruoheng couldn't help feeling secretly happy when he saw Cheng Junming's frozen expression out of the corner of his eye.
It must be said that Junior Uncle Master really brings honor to the Sword Sect!
It's a pity that her personality is a little abstract. If she were a little more normal, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to take over the position of the Sword Sect's leader...
"This is not appropriate. After all, he has already reached the spiritual level. It might be unfair for him to go to the Nascent Soul group..." Cheng Junming frowned.
What the hell is this competition even for? Just give the first place to Chi Jiuyu!
"It has always been divided this way, so how can it be said to be unfair?"
Even though his junior uncle always coveted the position of the sect leader which he had not yet warmed up to, he still had to fight for it.
"Is it fair to let a 23-year-old junior master fight those youngsters who are 25, 26, 30, 40, or even almost 60 years old?!"
Don't say I disagree!
I’m afraid even the Sword Master wouldn’t agree, not even the Sword Ancestor Master would agree!
It’s all about reason!
"The Immortal Sect Competition is meant to help the younger generation recognize themselves and to gain experience. If a person in the Spiritualization Stage goes to the Nascent Soul Stage, I'm afraid that he won't be able to gain the effect of training..."
"We have practiced for the same number of years, why not? Besides, Junior Master has defeated many Divine Transformation masters when he was still in the Nascent Soul stage. The Nascent Soul stage is actually not that far behind the Divine Transformation stage."
Can that be the same? !
Those alien gods are as weak as dogs. Why don't you try to defeat one of the gods participating in the Immortal Sect Competition? !
The two argued endlessly.
Zhao Ruohan stared at Chi Jiuyu's name on the jade plate for a long time, then stood up suddenly.
Du Ruoheng and Cheng Junming paused and looked at her together.
Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips: "I want to go out for a walk."
The two looked at each other, and finally Du Ruoheng said, "Daozi, please do as you please."
After getting the consent, Zhao Ruohan walked out immediately.
As she came outside the hall, a curtain of light rose up, directly blocking out all movement inside.
Without anyone around, the two clan leaders can finally act freely!
However, Zhao Ruohan ignored all this, took out her cell phone and rushed somewhere.
Yuanying Group...
A peerless genius like Chi Jiuyu must have an unparalleled heart of Taoism. How could he be willing to go and bully those Yuanying groups!
He immediately sent a message to his twin brother.
Xiao Zhao, who was practicing in silence, said: "Brother, I have arrived at the Sword Sect"
Xiao Zhao, who was practicing in silence, said: "I will go to see Chi Jiuyu who beat you like a dog last time."
Xiao Zhao who was practicing in silence: "I will definitely avenge you"
Brother: "Who the hell got beaten like a dog? I just lost by chance. Do you understand?!"
Brother: "/voice"
Brother: "/voice"
Zhao Ruohan didn't care and didn't click on the voice message. After all, her brother was a person who always spoke hard but was soft on the heart.
Mother said that after he was hung up and beaten like a dog by Chi Jiuyu during the last Immortal Sect Competition, he hid in a corner and cried by himself.
Xiao Zhao who was practicing in silence: "Don't worry, I understand everything"
Brother: "/voice" (End of this chapter)
