When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 105 The magical power 'Earth Magic'!
Li Fan knew that among the thousands of sect rules, there was a rule that challenged the elder status once in a century.

Every hundred years, the elders in the sect will challenge. The rule is that the elders with lower rankings can challenge the elders with higher rankings. If they win, the order of status in the sect will change, and the power and affairs controlled will also change. There will be changes.

Not only the lower-ranking elders can challenge the higher-ranking elders, but the outstanding direct disciples who have appeared in the past hundred years can also challenge the lower-ranked elders in the sect if their strength has been promoted to the Golden Core stage.

If they win, the lower-ranked elders will be replaced by the newly-rising Golden Core disciples.

Under such sect rules, the elders in the sect dare not relax too much.

Yi Chaosheng told Li Fan this when he started. At that time, there were still seven years before the elders challenge once in a hundred years.

Now nearly four years have passed since Li Fan started. After waiting for the sect competition in two and a half years, it will be time for the elders to challenge him not long after.

Because the latest sect competition was approaching the elder challenge, a warm-up was formed.

For example, almost everyone in the sect knows that the seventh elder Song Yunhua has risen strongly and is working hard. In the elder challenge, he will definitely challenge the sixth elder and gain a higher status.

Therefore, in the sect competition, if the direct disciples of Song Yunhua Tianwen Peak can beat the direct disciples of the Sixth Elder Tianhong Peak, then Song Yunhua will have the advantage and the upper hand in terms of momentum.

This is also the reason why it is said that the sect competition is a warm-up for the elders’ challenge.

After Li Fan thought about the sect competition and the elders' challenge in his mind, he asked Yi Chaosheng: "Master, what is the format of this sect competition?"

"How are the rewards distributed?"

He asked this because the Wandao Sect's sect competitions did not stick to formalities. Sometimes they were competitions in the ring, and sometimes they were survival in forbidden areas. The formats varied, depending on how the head and elders arranged it.

Yi Chaosheng said: "This is not a secret. Let me tell you first."

"This year's competition will probably be a competition in the martial arts arena, and it will mainly involve drawing lots."

"But unlike previous years, this year, in addition to competing as an individual, the leader has new ideas and will also join in team battles and cooperative challenges."

"You should also know that although the leader is old, he always has a lot of new ideas. We haven't yet said how he will be arranged in the end. The news will not be officially announced until a few months before the sect competition."

"The specific situation will have to be seen at that time."

Li Fan nodded slightly.

He has also heard that in the sect competition, the leader Gongsun Sihua likes to add some new things the most, rather than simple fighting and repetition.

The head of Wandao Sect has a very active mind and will join in whenever he comes up with any novel ideas.

The disciples in the sect have all adapted to it after practicing for so many years.

Don't guess what the leader is thinking. It's hard to understand even if you keep guessing. Let's talk about the specific rules when the time comes.

Yi Chaosheng continued: "As for the reward, it is quite clear."

"The top three in the foundation-building period disciple competition will be rewarded with an earth evil magic weapon, as well as heavenly and earthly treasures, basalt gold, and a bottle of precious elixir 'Shenhua Dan' that increases spiritual consciousness."

"What the top three will get is not fixed. The top disciple will choose the reward first, followed by No. 2, and then No. 3."

"It stands to reason that even if you rank third, you may still get Xuanwu Fine Gold. The value of these three rewards is almost the same. However, to be cautious, you still have to strive for the first place, so that you are most certain to get the 'Xuanwu Fine Gold'. "

Li Fan nodded deeply.

Basalt gold, as a treasure of heaven and earth, is the best material for defensive magic weapons.

Among them, as long as a little basaltic gold is added to the magical weapon, not only the total spiritual power and defensive capabilities will be greatly improved, but it can also accommodate more restrictions.

It can be said that if you want to refine a magic weapon of the earth evil level, in addition to incorporating enough restrictions, you must also add at least some heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as basalt fine gold to the material.

Its value can be imagined.

Yi Chaosheng looked at Li Fan and said: "Li Fan, I just wanted to inform you in advance about this competition, but I didn't expect you to win any place in it. After all, your previous level was just foundation building." In the early stage, and among the disciples who participated in the competition, there are many who are in the late stage of foundation building, so I don’t think you have much chance.”

"However, your cultivation talent impressed me with admiration... I really didn't expect that you could reach the middle stage of foundation building so quickly."

"In this way, you have enough conditions to compete for the top three."

"After all, there is a huge gap between the early stage of foundation establishment and the late stage of foundation establishment. But in the middle stage of foundation establishment, there is still a certain chance to challenge the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment."

"As a master, I was also a little negligent. I didn't pay attention to your cultivation progress. I am a little incompetent."

"I will use this competition to make you a promise."

"If you can compete for the top three in the sect, then I will think of a way to find for you the heavenly material and earthly treasure 'Taiyi Divine Water' that is sealed in the Jade Palace on the third floor of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra. In this way, You already have the sealing items for your second-story jade palace and third-story jade palace."

"Even if you don't get the top three rankings, as long as you show enough strength, I still have a reason to help you find this object, which can save you a lot of resources, energy and time."

When Li Fan heard this, his heart moved.

In Wandao Sect, the elders have established a rule that they will not give too many resources to disciples for no reason.

In addition to the cultivation techniques and the supplies of materials for cultivating immortals, the elders will only give some rewards if things are done well. This is an established rule.

Yi Chaosheng said that it was very generous to help Li Fan get the Taiyi Divine Water.

The price of such heavenly and earthly treasures is difficult to estimate. It is probably equivalent to an earthly evil magic weapon, which costs tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones at least.

Yi Chaosheng is willing to make such a promise, which is a huge reward.

Li Fan nodded deeply and said, "Thank you, Master."

"I also want to use this competition to see what level my own strength is among the foundation-building disciples."

"If you don't compare, you won't be tempered, and you won't be able to expose your own shortcomings and shortcomings. My original intention is not to focus on the ranking of the sect competition, but to see where I stand among the ten thousand sects. What position and what shortcomings are there? Can they be exposed so that I can take a step further?"

When Yi Chaosheng heard this, he looked very much in agreement.

He stroked his beard and said, "Not bad, not bad."

"Fan'er, in addition to your amazing talent, your Taoist heart is also very strong."

"That's the mentality you should have."

"Wanting to win but not afraid of losing is the best state of mind."

Yi Chaosheng was very satisfied.

"Okay, I have told you everything I need to say. There are still two and a half years until the sect competition. You should prepare well."

"But on weekdays, you practice too hard. On weekdays, you should find some time to communicate with outstanding classmates among your peers, or participate in some affairs in the sect as a break."

"Relaxation, day and night, this is the way of nature." Yi Chaosheng said.

Li Fan's heart moved slightly.

"I took note of it," Li Fan said.

"Okay, go about your business. If you have any difficulties in practice, feel free to ask me." Yi Chaosheng nodded with satisfaction.

After Yi Chaosheng encouraged Li Fan a few more words, he turned around and left, entering the main hall of Tianxiao Palace.

Li Fan watched Yi Chaosheng enter Tianxiao Palace.

In his mind, he was thinking about the sect competition in two years' time.

"In two and a half years, although it is impossible to advance to the late stage of foundation building, I have been able to make many breakthroughs in Taoism."

"My advantage is not my current level, but my Taoism."

"Haha, two and a half years has been enough for me to become stronger. I just need to follow the steps step by step. I don't need to pay too much attention to the sect competition. As long as I do what I need to do every day, as time goes by, I can accumulate Advantage."

Li Fan thought.

He felt very certain in his heart.

Don’t think too much about the future, just do it and that’s it.

Li Fan adjusted his mood.

He decided to take a trip to the back mountain.

Li Fan wanted to try his new magical power 'Earth Movement' to test its function.

...

Tianxiao Peak, back mountain.

Zihua Mountain where Wandao Sect is located occupies a huge area, and the mountains behind each Elder Peak are also very large, almost the size of other small sects.

Li Fan came to the back mountain and found a place with few people.

Surrounded by dense forests, the tree canopies block out the sky and the sun. They are all towering giant trees. There are various shrubs below, and you can smell the aroma of earth when you breathe.

Li Fan stood on the mountain, sensing the earth's magical power.

Miraculous powers are not Taoist techniques and do not require spiritual power. They are instinctive to use, just like when a person learns to walk. They are very natural and can be used at any time.

Li Fan sensed the magical power of earth magic, and a force surged out from deep within his body.

At Li Fan's feet, the soil parted like waves, and Li Fan sank into the soil.

Li Fan entered the soil, but his spiritual consciousness could still perceive everything around him.

The tangled roots of giant trees that penetrated deep into the earth, the rocks under the soil, and even the golden cicadas and squirming earthworms hidden deep in the soil all clearly appeared in Li Fan's spiritual perception.

Li Fan's figure moved quickly in the soil. Although he was in it, he did not feel stuffy at all, and he was not contaminated at all. Under the magical power of earth magic, Li Fan freely shuttled underground, and the soil seemed to be conscious in front of Li Fan. Separate so that he can move freely within it.

Li Fan felt like he was consuming some energy, just like running in small steps, but the speed was much faster than running.This kind of experience was quite novel, so Li Fan experienced it for a while longer, regardless of where it was above, and just started swimming deep underground.

"It's not just a matter of words for a cultivator of immortality to ascend to the blue sky and fall to the underworld. As long as his magical power and Taoist skills are powerful enough, he can do it." Li Fan thought happily.

Li Fan was in a good mood at this time, and he also let go of himself a little, using his earth skills to move freely through the earth and rocks underground, enjoying the pleasure brought by his new ability.

During his swim, he even discovered that there was a vein rich in silver under the back mountain.

This would be a great discovery in the mortal world, and it would be a very important thing to focus on mining. However, in the world of immortality, no one values ​​these things, and it is not even worth destroying the original natural scenery of the back mountain for this mineral vein.

Li Fan took a good swim until he felt a little tired physically.

Only then did Li Fan control the surrounding earth and rocks to separate and float upward quickly.

Finally, Li Fan emerged from the underground.

The place where he is is a very primitive jungle.

Li Fan flew out of the mud, but his body was spotless.

He stood with his feet on the ground, feeling the experience of using the Earth Technique just now.

"I just swam underground and was able to hold two incense sticks. Although I was a little tired, if I kept swimming until my strength was exhausted, I could at least last two more incense sticks."

"The speed of the terrain is not slow. It is about one-third of the speed of the sword. It is at least three to five times faster than the speed of a mortal horse running long distances."

"This magical power is worth it. If you encounter danger in the future, you will have another way to deal with your opponents if you use earth magic." Li Fan thought to himself.

He is summarizing the characteristics of ground-level magic.

suddenly!

Li Fan suddenly heard someone shouting and yelling not far from here, and there was the sound of flying swords clashing.

Li Fan turned his eyes and immediately looked in that direction.

"Sounds like monks fighting?"

"The area within Zihua Mountain is occupied by Wandao Sect disciples. Other monks are not allowed to enter. However, private fights are prohibited among disciples within the sect. If you have any grudges, please go to the Martial Arts Arena to apply for a competition."

"There's a fight here, what's going on?"

Li Fan was curious.

This is the back mountain of Tianxiao Peak. As a direct disciple of Tianxiao Peak, Li Fan should take a look and take care of things if they happen.

The place where the sound of fighting was heard was not far away. Li Fan thought for a moment, and without wielding a sword, he used the Wandering Dragon Cloud Step. His body was like a swimming dragon, shrinking into an inch, towards the place where the sound of fighting was heard. Rush in the direction.

Li Fan walked quickly and soon came to the place where the abnormal situation occurred.

When he acted, he used the breath-containing technique.

All he saw ahead was a lake in the forest, with an open space next to the lake.

There are really people fighting here!

The ones who took action were four inner disciples.

To be precise, it was three inner disciples who were besieging another female inner disciple.

These four people were all wearing red clothes, and three of them were obviously on one side. There were two men and one woman in total. The sword was attacking the fourth person present - a female disciple who was also wearing red clothes and looked about 24 or [-] years old. .

When Li Fan came here, he did not take action directly, but observed it.

Li Fan has never seen these four inner disciples before, they all have unfamiliar faces.

The female disciple being besieged has a somewhat strange appearance. She is very slim and tall. At first glance, her appearance is very stunning, but her beauty is cold and distant, and does not make people get close to her.

Her expression also looked cold and arrogant.

At this time, the female disciple was surrounded by three inner disciples and could barely hold on, but she still managed to hold on.

Her strength was at the level of Qi Refining Stage, but it seemed that she had some skills with her hands. Although she was embarrassed in one-on-three situations, she still persevered.

Li Fan observed for a moment and understood.

Although the scene is a battle of skills, it is not dangerous.

Neither the three inner disciples nor the female disciple with a arrogant and cool expression killed anyone.

It doesn't look like a life and death fight, but more like a martial arts competition, with a slight bottom line.

Li Fan understood in his heart.

Not surprisingly, these people must have had a conflict and started fighting over a disagreement.

There are sect rules in Wandao Sect that prohibit private fights among disciples. Seeing that these people have violated the sect rules.

However, although this sect rule will be punished, it can still be undone. If you kill or injure a disciple of your own sect, the punishment will be severe.

It seems that these people are also sensible. Although they took action, they did not kill.

While observing, the offense and defense of several people on the field suddenly changed.

The cold, arrogant and beautiful female disciple was forced to panic by the opponent's three flying swords. She suddenly gritted her teeth and made fierce moves with the flying swords.

This brings out the fire.

The three people on the opposite side exclaimed and scolded them angrily. After a moment of confusion, the murderous aura in their sword moves began to rise.

When Li Fan saw it, he shook his head slightly and sighed.

If you are fighting against each other, just do it. Why are you so cruel?
Li Fan was ready to come out and drink.

After all, they are all inner disciples of the sect, and the conflict broke out in the mountains behind Tianxiao Peak. If someone is really killed, Yi Chaosheng, the elder of Tianxiao Peak, will not look good. As a direct disciple, Li Fan still has to To maintain the order of Tianxiao Peak.

Li Fan was about to come forward when suddenly his heart moved.

He took back his half-stepped left foot.

"Who dares to fight privately within the sect?"

"Are you treating the rules as child's play?"

"Don't you want to stay among the ten thousand gates?"

A sharp voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a purple figure appeared from nowhere and landed in the clearing of the lake in the forest.

The person coming is not Li Fan.

Instead, he was a fat man with fair skin wearing the purple robe of his direct disciple.

Li Fan has seen this person before.

When Li Fan first entered the sect, Ma Yudong from the Discipline Department was the direct disciple of the fourth elder of Tianyun Peak who was troublesome to Li Fan at the entrance of the Tianyun Peak Council Hall.

When Li Fan first started, he had a good attitude towards others, but he still found trouble with Ma Yudong.

However, Li Fan argued hard and argued that Ma Yudong's idea was very unreasonable.

But he didn't expect that Ma Yudong would appear here at this time.

Li Fan stood next to a big tree.

He didn't deliberately hide his figure.

But because of the breath-containing technique that he had already transformed into, Li Fan just stood like this, and the few people present would not notice him.

"Is it Ma Yudong from the Discipline Department? Why did he come to the back mountain of Tianxiao Peak and meet these inner disciples fighting among themselves?" Li Fan thought to himself.

He squinted his eyes, thinking there might be something good to watch.

lakeside.

Seeing that they were direct disciples of the Department of Discipline, the few people who took action quickly put away their flying swords.

Among the three inner disciples who besieged the cold and arrogant woman, the leader's face changed several times before finally revealing a smile.

He walked up to Ma Yudong, raised his hands and said, "Is it Brother Discipline Sima?"

"We are not fighting, but discussing."

"Recently, Junior Sister Leng Yueyun got a set of sword manuals, which said that she can control flying swords and not be afraid of group battles. We were very interested when we heard about it, so we competed with Junior Sister Leng to hone her sword-controlling skills."

"Senior brother, look, didn't we have nothing to do just now?"

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Ma Yudong rolled his eyes upward, pretending to be angry.

The inner disciple who spoke immediately said with a smile:

"Junior brother, I am Yin Zhangxin. In the sect, I have always been close to senior brother Qi Weigong from the Discipline Department."

"Senior Brother Ma, we have nothing to do here. We are just practicing sword-controlling skills. Do you think that's the end of it?"

As Yin Zhangxin spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his waist and stuffed it into Ma Yudong's hand.
