Chapter 238 Time Is Like Water, Covering up Reputation
Unexpectedly, Shen Xianyun could no longer hold back and chose to achieve the middle-grade golden elixir. It was a pity. However, according to the master's instructions before leaving, Shi Xuan decided to ask the leader this time to congratulate him on behalf of his sect. If If you feel that you are not the master of Jindan, then you can be your deputy.
Thinking like this, Shi Xuan set up his escape light and headed towards Tianshu Peak. Who would have thought that just as he landed on the top of the peak, he heard a familiar voice that contained surprise: "Shi Xuan, have you come to Tianji Peak too?" It was Yu Ruoshui who had a smile like a flower, bright eyes and white teeth.
"Ruoshui, why did you suddenly return to the sect? Could it be?" Shi Xuan looked at Yu Ruoshui and was a little surprised. In the sect, his consciousness usually only covered a few feet, but he didn't notice her before. Now he looked carefully Looking at her, I felt that she was becoming more energetic, youthful and beautiful, and she no longer had the pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on her body.
Yu Ruoshui smiled happily and said: "Well, I just broke through to the soul stage, so I returned to the sect." But as he said that, his expression showed a little sadness, and he sighed, "But my parents both passed away half a year ago. I settled down in front of their graves, and I didn’t expect that it wouldn’t take long for me to break through so naturally.”
"Uncle and aunt have passed away, Ruoshui, don't be sad. You have stayed in the Qi-entraining period for more than fifty years, and now you have a breakthrough, it is really gratifying." Shi Xuan said with a solemn expression, "By the way, you were in the century-old period. Those who have broken through to the divine soul stage should be able to become true disciples, but I don’t know which technique to choose?”
Yu Ruoshui blurted out: "It's Uncle Yong's sword-box-refining technique." After saying it, he smiled sheepishly, "I've been thinking about this technique for a long time."
Shi Xuan nodded: "You have a strong temper and like to be straightforward. In addition, you like swordsmanship. Practicing this skill complements each other." But Shi Xuan heard that the "Secret Immortal Slaying Sword Box" is to be warmed in the Dantian. I don’t know if there is any conflict between Yu Jiantai’s sword box and Yu Ruoshui’s natal magic weapon Sanyang Golden Crow Sword. However, judging from Master Yong’s occasional words, it should be able to be solved, so Shi Xuan did not treat these unfounded worries. Tell Yu Ruoshui.
The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Shi Xuan smiled and said: "I am here to be recruited by the master, so I don't dare to stay longer. I will visit you in your cave later." After showing the aura of creation to Master Jiang that time, he did With the endorsement, Shi Xuan felt relieved and prepared to show this aura of creation to several of his friends to increase their accumulation. For example, he showed it to Xie Fangwei before. Thinking of the expression of Xie Fangwei, who was always calm and calm, Shi Xuan Just want to laugh.
The most important way to behave in the world is to keep things going. As long as it doesn't involve your own secrets, Shi Xuan will not keep it secret, so that other friends will think of him first when they have something to share.
Yu Ruoshui smiled and joked: "Then I don't dare to delay you, Shi Shouzuo."
…………
When Shi Xuan entered the Jietian Hall, the other leaders, elders, and true disciples in the sect were all present. They were discussing who would go to the Luofu Sect to congratulate Shen Xianyun for achieving the Golden Elixir this time, but most of them were evasive. For the Lord, this kind of thing is of no benefit, and the good deeds are not high, and it is not in the limelight. It is better to stay in the sect and practice.
"Disciple, see the leader." Shi Xuan bowed his hands to the leader Zhang and said in salute. It was only then that his entrance attracted the attention of others, who all looked at him, as if they wanted to blame the matter on Shi Xuan.
Head Zhang nodded: "Shi Xuan, I asked you to come here this time because Shen Xianyun of the Luofu Sect has achieved the golden elixir. We have decided to send a leader or elder to congratulate you. What do you think?"
Before anyone else could speak, Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Senior Shen and my master have been close friends for many years, so my master once told his disciples that if senior Shen achieves the golden elixir, he must go to congratulate and applaud him on his behalf. Make disciples whole."
As soon as he said this, the leaders, elders, and true disciples around him all laughed. He didn't expect anyone to be so active this time, so he didn't have to worry now.
Head Zhang looked around at the people below: "Shishou said that he is willing to go on behalf of the sect. Do you have any opinions?"
"Reporting to the leader, no." Everyone replied in unison. This kind of scene rarely happened in Jietian Palace, which made the leader Zhang smile.
Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Head Zhang smiled and said: "Lingxing will prepare the gifts. Shi Xuan, you go and choose two inner disciples and eight outer disciples to go together." After all, as a large sect, the Luofu Sect The congratulatory representative cannot be alone, there must always be some disciples accompanying him.
"After receiving the master's decree, I wonder when the disciples will set off?" Shi Xuan asked.
"The Golden Elixir Ceremony is scheduled for ten days, but you are going through the teleportation array. Let's set off in five days." Head Zhang touched his white eyebrows and said.
Coming out of the Jietian Hall, Shi Xuan asked Lingxing to put the matter of selecting disciples on the list of good deeds, and scheduled it to be held in the Yaoguang Peak Tingdao Hall in three days, while he went to Yu Ruoshui Cave Mansion.
…………
Three days later, Yaoguang Peak listened to the Taoist Hall.
In the main hall, there were hundreds of outer disciples and about twenty inner disciples. The others didn't want to come, but because they had already taken over other good deeds tasks, they didn't have enough time, so they could only beat their chests and beat their chests.
"Brother Zhang, are you here too?" A smart-looking young man greeted a thin monk in the crowd.
The thin monk said with a sly smile: "Jin Leiyu, aren't you here too? Didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to take on some weapon refining tasks?"
"Hehe, how can we miss such a good mission?" Jin Leiyu laughed. Everyone came here enthusiastically, probably with the same idea in mind. Although the merits of this mission are not high and there will be no unexpected gains, it is possible to travel with a great master of the Soul Stage or even a Golden Core Grandmaster. If you perform well on the way, you will be favored by the old man and accepted into the sect, and you will be able to soar to the sky. At worst, you can get private guidance from the seniors, which is also a great help for cultivation.
In fact, in Penglai Sect, most of the Golden Core Grandmasters and Soul Stage elders do not keep much secrets when listening to the sermons in the Dao Hall, except for the specific exercises that cannot be disclosed.
"Brother Jin, do you know which elder is leading this time?" A beautiful girl with a timid expression asked with courage. Several female disciples around her also showed expectations. This was not explained in the merit list. They were new outer disciples who entered the sect and did not have many connections. They could only ask the senior brother who seemed to be well-informed.
Jin Leiyu smiled and said, "Junior Sister Ren, I don't have any news this time, but it doesn't matter, we will know soon. By the way, who are you looking forward to?"
"Of course it's the Jindan Grandmaster, preferably Uncle Xie! If it's not the Jindan Grandmaster, then Uncle Shi is the best!" A rather lively and slim girl behind Junior Sister Ren spoke first, and when she found that she was the only one speaking, she immediately stuck out her pink tongue in embarrassment.
"Haha, Junior Sister Jiang is really quick-witted. You've spoken out what I feel for you. If it's Grandmaster Xie who's leading this time, I'd be so lucky." Jin Leiyu pretended to be secretive, lowered his voice, and said quietly: "I heard that there's an unwritten rule in the sect, that is, all Jindan masters must accept disciples for the sake of inheritance. Among the Jindan masters in the sect, Grandmasters Lingxing and Yongxing each have two or three disciples. Grandmaster Lingri is not in the sect all year round, so we have no chance to meet him. Grandmaster Xie has achieved Jindan for more than 20 years, so it's time for him to accept disciples!" This made the cultivator named Zhang listen carefully, wishing that Jin Leiyu could speak louder.
Junior Sisters Ren and Jiang asked in surprise and expectation: "Really?" The cultivators around them all had the same expression.
"Hahaha, two junior sisters, don't listen to what Jin brags, he's always bragging!" A voice interrupted, it was a young monk with bronze skin, next to him was a tall but dull young man, and his words caused several junior sisters to show puzzled expressions.
"Li Bingnan, who is bragging?!" Jin Leiyu asked angrily!
"Hehe, what sect has an unwritten rule that all Jindan masters must accept disciples for inheritance, I tell you, it's not true! Master Yongxiang Yong has never accepted disciples!" Li Bingnan sneered.
Junior sister Ren asked in a small voice: "Who is Master Yongxiang Yong? Why haven't I heard of him?" She has only been a monk for six years and is only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and Yongxiang has been away from this world for more than twenty years. The various legends about him have long been out of fashion in the world of cultivation. Many of the younger generation of cultivators have never heard of him, and his reputation is always blown away by the wind and rain.
The cultivators around her who had recently entered the sect twice nodded frequently, indicating that they had indeed not heard of it, which made Li Bingnan depressed and loudly said: "Master Yongxiang Yong is the Jindan Grandmaster of Master Lingxing's generation. He was once ranked first on the Tianji List and was the number one swordsman in the world of cultivation!" In fact, he himself also heard Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde mention it, and chatted with those outer disciples who entered the sect earlier, so he knew so much.
"It is true! Back then, the three top-grade Jindan Grandmasters of our Penglai Sect dominated the world of cultivation!" said an outer disciple who had entered the sect for more than 40 years.
After hearing that someone had confirmed it, Junior Sister Ren and the others looked at Jin Leiyu with dissatisfaction. Jin Leiyu's face flushed, and he murmured, "Even if there is no such rule, Uncle Xie may accept disciples. He doesn't even have one yet."
"Who said no? Uncle Xie has accepted Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde as disciples, but it is not announced for the time being. The ceremony will be held after they have completed the Qi Induction." Li Bingnan said proudly.
"What?"
"Why haven't I heard of it?!"
...
When everyone calmed down a little, they felt that Li Bingnan was not lying. Many people here knew Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde, and they knew how their relationship with Li Bingnan was. Li Bingnan would never dare to lie about such a thing. If he was discovered by the people of the sect, he would be severely punished. As for why it was held after the Qi Induction was completed, it can only be said that each Jindan Grandmaster has a different way of examining disciples.
The scene was quiet for a while, filled with all kinds of unspeakable emotions.
At this time, a young monk in a moon-white Taoist robe walked into the Listening Hall.
"Uncle Shi?!" Many disciples shouted in surprise and joy.
PS: I'm going to correct a small bug here. Li Bingnan should call Chi Zhengde and the others "senior brothers and sisters", not "uncle master". I remembered Shi Xuan's situation at that time and forgot that he was a direct disciple of the Jindan master. As for why the outer disciples called Xie Fangwei "grandmaster uncle" and Shi Xuan "uncle master", it was because they didn't understand algebra and only called him according to the original rules of Jindan master uncle and true master uncle.
