Chapter 239 Preparation

Li Bingnan looked at Zhou Banyu, Ren Shimei, Jiang Shimei and others, and saw the surprise in their eyes. Although he was not a Jindan Grandmaster, he was one of the best choices besides the Jindan Grandmaster. Whether in terms of strength, status, or possible achievements in the future, Uncle Shi was the best among the Penglai Sect's Soul Stage. Even the disciples regarded him as a Jindan Grandmaster. The only thing to worry about was that Uncle Shi was in the period of impacting the Jindan, and he might not be able to spare the time to recruit disciples. In this regard, he was not as good as those who had been in the Soul Stage for many years. They needed to make plans for the future and wanted to train some good disciples.

For Li Bingnan and Zhou Banyu, Uncle Shi's name had long been well-known, but what left a deeper impression on them was the high praise of Uncle Shi by Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde, who even praised him more than Xie Fangwei, the Jindan Grandmaster, which made them puzzled.

Shi Xuan walked to the podium and looked at the disciples below: "I believe everyone is clear about this mission. I won't waste your time. Let's start now." Yesterday, Shi Xuan participated in the ceremony of Yu Ruoshui's promotion to a true disciple, and accompanied her to choose spiritual tools and magic tools. She finally knew who Jiang Zhenren was. Unfortunately, her master Yue Wanyin has not returned since she went out decades ago. If her name had not changed in the sect inheritance book, Shi Xuan would have thought she had died. However, if Yue Wanyin had not used the longevity elixir, then in another forty or fifty years, she would have reached the end of her life.

"Yes." Hundreds of disciples responded in unison.

Shi Xuan's selection criteria are very simple. Disciples who don't like to cause trouble are fine. It's not like choosing disciples for yourself, so why is it so complicated? However, you still have to pay attention to the balance between men and women, otherwise taking a group of male and female disciples out will make other sects misunderstand that Penglai Sect has merged with Tianhuo Sect and Guanghan Sect.

As Shi Xuan's eyes swept over the inner disciples in the first row, those disciples all showed nervous and expectant expressions, holding their breath, fearing that they would be excluded if they performed badly compared to others.

"What's your name?" Shi Xuan looked at a middle-aged inner disciple and said. The reason why he was chosen was because he had an extraordinary demeanor, a good appearance, and his cultivation was also perfect in the Qi Induction Stage. No matter from which aspect, he would not lose face for the Luofu Sect if he came to the Luofu Sect. As for how long he had been lingering in the Qi Induction Stage, that was not what Shi Xuan cared about. He was just an inner disciple and would not be compared with the cultivators who had already broken through to the Soul Stage.

The middle-aged disciple had practiced for so many years after all. Although he was also nervous, excited, and happy, he was able to restrain himself on the surface and said seriously: "Reporting to Master Shi, this disciple is Luo Banshan."

Shi Xuan nodded: "Are you willing to follow me to the Luofu Sect?"

Luo Banshan took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement: "Disciple is willing." Then he walked out and stood aside, not disturbing Uncle Shi to continue observing other disciples.

Shi Xuan looked at the twenty or so inner disciples again, and finally stared at a beautiful girl in a yellow shirt and said, "I wonder what this nephew's name is? Are you willing to follow me to Luofu Sect?" She looked very dignified and generous.

The girl in the yellow shirt had a clear and pleasant voice: "Disciple Tang Youqiu is willing to follow you, Master Shi, to Luofu Sect." Her cultivation level was only a small success in the Qi Induction Stage. I think she will go out to travel after completing this good deed task. However, compared with other inner disciples with higher cultivation levels than her, she seemed more calm and composed, as if she had an aura that could suppress the situation.

Now the two inner disciples have been selected. The other inner disciples are extremely disappointed. They broke through to the Qi Induction Stage at different times, but the only thing in common is that they were not accepted as disciples by the elders of the Soul Stage and the Golden Core Grandmaster. In other words, they either took shortcuts in their cultivation or had some problems with their character, including Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu, who were selected by Shi Xuan. Of course, if they are family members, they can also find a master through connections.

Shi Xuan walked past the first row and came to the outer disciples. When they saw Shi Xuan coming, they could not control their emotions more than the inner disciples. Some were nervous and at a loss, some did not dare to look up, and of course, there were also those who behaved calmly and calmly.

However, the selection of outer disciples was simpler than that of inner disciples, because Shi Xuan's consciousness had already sensed their discussions just now, and he had a plan in mind, so he walked directly to Li Bingnan, Zhou Banyu and others, "You two, report your names." Shi Xuan looked at them calmly.

Li Bingnan happily bowed and said, "Uncle Shi, I am your disciple Li Bingnan, this is Zhou Banyu. We are all willing to follow you to Luofu Sect."

Zhou Banyu followed closely behind, his voice quite low: "Disciple Zhou Banyu greets Uncle Shi."

"Well, all of you please stand up." Shi Xuan nodded, causing the other outer disciples to be envious and jealous. Could it be that Uncle Shi was doing this for the sake of their friend's master? Does it mean that people with connections are given priority everywhere? ! In fact, for Shi Xuan, excluding those who like to cause trouble, it doesn't matter who he chooses, so it's better to choose someone he remembers.

Then Shi Xuan looked at the female disciple named Ren and the female disciple named Jiang: "What are your names?"

The female disciples surnamed Ren and Jiang were shocked at first and couldn't believe it. Then they turned their heads and looked around. When they found that Uncle Shi was indeed asking them, they stepped forward with ecstasy and excitement and bowed: "Disciple Ren Shuiyao (Jiang) Nian Qiao) is willing." Then the two of them walked briskly next to Luo Banshan, Tang Youqiu and others under the envious eyes of other outer disciples.

After that, Shi Xuan selected four outer disciples, two men and two women. Without exception, they were both excited and excited.

"Okay, I have chosen the disciples for this mission. The other nephews should not delay." After Shi Xuan finished speaking in a calm tone, he waved his sleeves and a breeze rose under the feet of the ten disciples. Get up and take them to Tianji Peak with you.

"Hey, I really took advantage of Li Bingnan." Jin Leiyu said angrily.

Although another outer disciple could not hide his disappointment, he still said: "But Uncle Shi is quite fair. Except for Li Bingnan and Zhou Banyu, the other six disciples are all unrelated disciples."

"Junior Sister Ren and Junior Sister Jiang are so lucky. Maybe they will be favored by Uncle Meng Shi on the way. Hey, why don't you choose us." During the discussion, the disciples left dejectedly.

…………

Tianji Peak Shixuan Cave.

Just like Mo Yuan before, Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on his futon, looked at the ten disciples across from him, and said: "This time, on behalf of the sect, going to the Luofu Sect to congratulate is a matter of honor for the sect. Therefore, I have no choice but to pay tribute to you." Make some explanations.”

Under the leadership of Tang Youqiu, these disciples all said in unison: "Uncle Shi, please give me some advice. Disciples are all ears."

Shi Xuan nodded and spoke slowly: "First, when you arrive at the Luofu Sect, speak less and listen more, and don't cause trouble. Second, try not to act alone. Third, ordinary minor matters are decided by the two nephews Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu. There is no need to come here." My Lord." In fact, what Shi Xuan wants to say most is: follow the command in all actions.

"Disciple, I obey." Luo Banshan and others replied respectfully.

Shi Xuan saw a few people looking a little confused, so he asked: "Do you have any questions about these three points?"

Li Bingnan hesitated and said: "Reporting to Uncle Shi, the disciples are all confident not to cause trouble, but what if other disciples get into trouble with us? I heard that the Blood Demon Sect and Netherworld Sect will send people to congratulate this time. of."

Shi Xuan smiled and said: "I have already considered this. I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If you offend me, I will fight back. As long as we are reasonable, we don't have to be timid and flinch when we are provoked. People laughed at my Penglai sect for being timid and weak." When he knew that both the Blood Demon Sect and the Netherworld Sect would send people, Shi Xuan was worried that there would be some minor troubles, but there would be no life-and-death attacks in the Luofu Sect. This matter can only be done on the stage of fighting.

Several disciples looked at each other with a smile. It would be extremely embarrassing if someone didn't retaliate when they were scolded or hit.

Shi Xuan waited for them to calm down a bit, then smiled and said: "Senior Nephew Luo and Nephew Tang have both been Qi-Entraining Stage monks for many years. No matter in terms of cultivation or experience in fighting, I am not worried that you will fall behind. On the other hand, many of the eight apprentice nephews from the outer sect are just starting out, and they can easily suffer if something happens." At this point, Shi Xuan paused.

Li Bingnan and Zhou Banyu just felt that Uncle Shi was caring about them and others, and they felt warm in their hearts. However, Ren Shuiyao, Jiang Nianqiao and other smart-thinking girls sensed the implication of Shi Xuan's words, and they were afraid that he wanted to give some relief to themselves and others. Good thing, so while my heart feels warm, my face is also filled with joy and excitement.

"There are only seven days until the Golden Elixir Ceremony, but I cannot improve your cultivation level in such a short period of time. However, I happen to have a set of flying swords and their sword array. If you practice well these days, we can work together. It will be no problem to deal with a Qi-entraining monk next time," Shi Xuan said slowly.

Of course, those monks in the Qi-inducing stage can only have a small degree of Qi-guiding, and they have not even mastered the natal magic weapon. After all, there is a huge gap between the out-of-body stage and the Qi-inducing stage, which cannot be completely compensated by Shi Xuan's flying swords and sword formations. In fact, Even the kind of monk who has not achieved much success in channeling qi, as long as he can calm down and concentrate on defense, he can wear out these disciples in the out-of-body stage until they are exhausted. They are not using the power of true qi to control flying. Swords cannot last long.

Jiang Nianqiao was shocked and blurted out: "Uncle Shi, are you going to give us a flying sword?" They have only been in the industry for six years, and most of them only have the low-grade magical weapon of the green steel sword they are issued.

Shi Xuan shook his head and cursed with a smile: "How can such a good thing come from? I have never encountered it before. I am just lending it to you temporarily."

Seeing that Shi Xuan's easy-going attitude was not the kind of condescending or indifferent, Jiang Nianqiao also let go of his restraint and said with a smile: "Despite this, I still have to thank Uncle Shi. The sword array passed down by your old man is definitely good." It’s extremely powerful.”
