Chapter 73
Lingxian Valley, the core of the sect, on the square opposite the Zangshu Pavilion, was supposed to be a place where inner sect disciples taught and lectured, but at this moment, dozens of foundation-building monks in red robes gathered, sitting quietly On a round stone bench, listen to a Jindan real person in a yellow robe talk about the experience and precautions of forming alchemy.

Zheng Xingping also sat below, listening carefully.

"Immortals and Taoists do not have spirits, accumulating qi to believe it is true, exhaling from the sun into the moon, breathing and storing, the vital qi is combined into constellations, the purple smoke is above and below the three plain clouds, irrigating the five flowers and planting spiritual roots, and the seven liquid holes are flowing into the hut. Ji Zi embraces Huang and enters the dantian, and the dark room illuminates the sun gate... These formulas should be understood in this way..."

The Daoist Jindan who stood in front spoke in a colorful manner, and the foundation-building cultivator sitting below was mesmerized and fascinated.I don't know how long it took, but the Daoist Jindan who was lecturing suddenly stopped talking: "Okay, that's the end of the lecturing, and then let's talk about recruiting disciples."

The foundation-building monks below woke up one by one and stared at each other intently.

Daoist Jindan looked about fifty years old, with a square face, red face, and dignified face. He said in a deep voice: "This time, it is not my idea to invite you to accept apprentices, but it is the request of the head of the real person. I need more of you." Contribute, each person accepts at least one disciple, so as to better support the younger generation and carry forward the sect."

Having just said this, a young-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator stood up, unwilling to reconcile, and asked: "Master Li, do you have to accept apprentices? Can you accept it?"

Daoist Jindan shook his head resolutely: "If you don't accept it, you must accept it! Our Jindanzong has no outstanding disciples in the past 20 years. If we don't cultivate them carefully, we will be left behind by the rest of the sects. You don't want our sect to decline day by day. , and finally reduced to a second- and third-rate sect, right?"

The young monk argued: "Uncle, I still have to practice in seclusion. How can I teach my disciples Kung Fu? It's not worthwhile to teach the disciples and delay the master!"

Daoist Jindan snorted coldly and said: "Teaching a disciple can exhaust you to death? What's the reason for retreating? No matter how busy you are, you still have to set aside one or two hours a month to patiently guide your disciples to practice. The so-called ten-year tree, a hundred-year Only by persevering and persevering in cultivating people can we cultivate outstanding disciples. If we want our Golden Alchemy Sect to flourish, we need everyone to make efforts."

The young Foundation Establishment quibbled: "But there are more than 40 Foundation Establishment monks in this sect, and only thirty of them have come now. What about the rest of them? They didn't even come. Shouldn't they recruit disciples? Are they so cheap?"

Jindan Daoist said: "Those people have gone out to practice, who knows when they will come back! If they go away for ten years and don't return, how can they recruit disciples? Isn't it delaying good seedlings?"

The young disciple was still gritted his teeth and said, "Not everyone has gone out to practice! There are still others who haven't gone out! I know that Senior Sister Lan will stay at home for retreat. If I had known that I would also choose to retreat, there would not be so many Bad thing."

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, Master Jindan couldn't help but glared at him: "Are you talking about Lan Xingshang? It's not like you don't know that Xiaolan has reached the peak of foundation establishment, and it seems that she has reached the foundation establishment Dzogchen, but I can't find the way back, I've been so worried all these years, how can I have the heart to recruit disciples?"

The young Foundation Establishment is still stubborn: "Uncle Li, you can't treat me differently. Even if I'm only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, I'm still very annoyed. I can't take care of my own cultivation. I really don't want to take care of my disciples. Can I spend two years?" Take it again?"

Daoist Jindan's face was serious, and he said: "No, the head master said that all foundation-building monks must recruit disciples, without exception. Don't worry about Lan Xingshang, I will pick a disciple for her later. , I think she dares to refuse! Don't talk so much nonsense, you can't push it away if you want to!"

Seeing that there was no room for manoeuvre, the young Zhu Ji fell silent, and sat back with his lips pouted.

At this time, someone asked again: "Uncle Li, the disciples who will participate in the big competition will come later. In what order should we choose? Who will be picked first and who will be picked last? What if there is a conflict? What if there is a fight?"

Daoist Jindan raised his voice and said: "Still according to the old rules, those with higher levels of skill are selected first, those with lower levels are selected later, and those with the same level are selected according to age. The younger ones are chosen first, and the older ones are chosen later!"

An old Foundation Establishment cultivator showed displeasure on his face, and complained in a low voice: "It's another trick! I'm just a few years older, and I suffer every time! The last time the Zongmen Annual Blessing was issued, I was in the second place. The last one! I didn’t expect it to be like this now, even if I want to recruit a wishful disciple, I can’t choose!”

Daoist Jindan couldn't stand the complaints, so his face turned red immediately, and he looked at him sternly: "Zhao Xingyu, who made you last? If you don't want to be last, then work hard and enter the middle stage of foundation establishment as soon as possible. In the late stage of foundation establishment, won’t you be able to rank ahead of others? Your own skill is poor, and you are still in the early stage of foundation establishment at such an advanced age, so don’t complain too much, find your own reasons!”

Hearing this, the old-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly shrank, and he didn't dare to say a word with his head down.

Since everyone has to recruit disciples, and there is a certain order for recruiting disciples, the rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators have nothing to complain about, so the next topic changed.

A monk with golden eyebrows said with a smile: "Why don't we guess who can get the first place in this competition? Let me open a gamble, shall we?"

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators laughed: "Qian Xinghua, you are going to gamble again, are you short of spirit stones again? We won't be fooled and won't play with you anymore!"

The golden-browed Qian Xinghua laughed and said, "This time I don't earn a piece of Lingshi. If everyone bets wrong, how about giving the extra Lingshi to the disciple who is number one in the competition? I don't want to do anything else." , even if it’s just for fun, to form a good relationship with the most potential disciple in this big competition.” As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and drew out a long list in the wind, which was clearly the outer disciples he had made a long time ago. Skill leaderboard, and even the odds have been marked.

From top to bottom, Hu Yundao with the highest skill ranks first, and the odds are [-] to [-].

Wei Yunfeng, who has the second highest skill, is ranked second, and the odds are [-] to [-].

Then the odds increased successively, and at Qin Di's place, it was already three hundred for one loss.

"Okay, let's start betting, Uncle Li, why don't you come in and try your luck?"

The red-faced Golden Core cultivator glanced at the long list, and said, "I don't have a spirit stone with me. I drew a seventh-level spirit talisman a few days ago, or should I bet it on you?"

"Ah? Seventh-order talisman?" Many foundation-builder cultivators were alarmed when they heard that there was a seventh-order talisman.

The seventh-order talisman is already a high-level talisman. If it is activated, it is equivalent to a blow from a Jindan real person.This is a rare treasure!When going out, no one has troubles. It would be great to have a high-level talisman for protection!

Qian Xinghua was in a bit of a dilemma: "Uncle, if this seventh-level talisman is sold outside, it can sell at least a thousand high-grade spirit stones. Your bet is too big. If I win, I can't pay it back." Get up?"

The golden core monk laughed and said: "If I win, you don't need to take out the spirit stones, just give me all the wrong bets."

"What if you lose?"

"Whoever wins will take it away, and I don't need to subsidize the difference!"

"Okay, then you are the first to bet. Let me tell you first, you can't choose No.1 on the leaderboard, otherwise this game will not be playable."

"Then I'll bet on No.2! Wei Yunfeng! I've seen this kid before. He has a first-grade fire spirit root. He has pretty good aptitude and a resolute personality. He will become a great weapon in the future. As for that Hu Yundao, I don't like it very much."

Qian Xinghua took the treasure talisman and put it away carefully, but she felt unspeakable regret in her heart: "What am I doing? Why do I say that I gave it to the first disciple in the Dabi? If I don't say it, I will If I had the chance to accept this talisman, I would be a bitch!"

The foundation-building monks present were a little excited when they saw the seventh-level talisman, so they placed bets one after another, and they were generous, fearing that the bet would be less and the talisman would belong to someone else.

"I will offer 100 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones, and bet No.1 Hu Yundao!"

"I also bet on Hu Yundao, two hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"

"Five hundred middle-grade spirit stones! Bet Hu Yundao,"

"I have a fifth-order array here. Let's see how much Lingshi is worth. I want to bet on Hu Yundao too!"

"Hey, the fifth-order hidden formation? This is a treasure that you have spent two years refining, are you willing?"

"I don't want the child to be unable to trap the wolf. I will fight for the seventh-level talisman! If I lose, I will make another one. I believe that with my peak foundation-building cultivation, I can refine it in more than a year."

"I'll give you a discount of 130 high-level spirit stones, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, at this price."

At least half of the thirty people bet on Hu Yundao, and the rest also bet on the top disciples on the ranking list. No.2 must not be bet. No.1 Hu Yundao competed fiercely. If he wanted to win the seventh-order talisman, the highest one had already bet 150 top-grade spirit stones.Some foundation-building cultivators have too shallow pockets and not many spirit stones, so they can only choose three or four on the ranking list, hoping to try their luck.

Zheng Xingping also chose Gu Yunyu, who was ranked third, because this kid came from a family of cultivators and is a top-level second-rank spiritual root. He has made rapid progress in the past three years, and he might be able to get the first place in the competition.

As for the disciples ranked below the tenth place, no one is selected, let alone a new disciple like Qin Di who is ranked first after the thousandth place. If he wants to get the first place in the competition, it is not a dream, the sun rises from the west?

After all the bets were finished, some were elated, some were worried, and some regretted it, wishing to get back the spirit stone, but they couldn't save face.
