Chapter 309 Walking on Thin Ice

In Ningxuan Sect, whether it is the three thousand menial disciples, the five thousand outer disciples, or the eight hundred inner disciples with some status.

As long as they are cultivators at the stage of Qi Refining, in theory, they are qualified to participate in this grand event.

They all have the possibility of soaring to the sky in the Dragon Gate Meeting and changing their own path of cultivation.

However, when the sect announced that the trial venue of this Dragon Gate Meeting was set on the "No. 2 Trial Island".

The entire sect seemed to have been hit by a "heavenly secret method" and exploded instantly.

The news spread quickly to every corner of the sect like a whirlwind, but what followed was a completely different scene from the past:

The number of people who signed up to participate was greatly reduced, far less than the bustling and enthusiastic registration in previous years.

The second trial island is not a good place.

After all, this place really kills people.

Although it is only an island with a radius of 500 miles, it hides deadly crises everywhere.

Although the sect has prepared a life-saving trump card, the relocation token, to ensure the safety of the disciples.

But if you really fall into a desperate situation, you will not even have the chance to crush the relocation token.

For example, if a young cultivator who is only at the fifth level of Qi training is extremely unlucky and is randomly relocated to the lair of a first-level peak monster.

That is simply a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand even a face-to-face encounter and will be torn into pieces by the ferocious monster in an instant and die directly.

In this way, after weighing the pros and cons, only 1,200 people gritted their teeth and signed up for the original 8,000 or 9,000 Qi training disciples.

In previous years, this number could easily exceed 2,000.

However, this also reflects the strength of the disciples participating in the Longmen meeting from the side.

If you look closely at these registered disciples, you will find that most of them are elite disciples above the sixth level of Qi training.

They all know very well that this Longmen meeting is a rare opportunity for them.

Even if you try your best, you can't get into the top ten, but as long as you can be among the top 100, it's a pretty good result.

For those menial disciples, once they achieve good results in the Longmen meeting, they can immediately get rid of their menial status and become outer disciples.

And if outer disciples can stand out in the meeting, they also have the opportunity to be promoted to inner disciples, obtain more cultivation resources and higher status.

In addition, the sect has also prepared a large number of magic tools and spirit stones as rewards.

This is very attractive for any disciple.

If a menial disciple is lucky enough to get a particularly high ranking in the meeting.

Maybe he can be noticed by the foundation-building master and accepted as a personal disciple.

That's really a step to heaven, with a promising future!

As for whether the loss of so many disciples will have an impact on the two Jindan battles in the sect?

In fact, this impact is minimal.

After all, the Qi Refining disciples of Ningxuan Sect were recruited to go to the battlefield.

This is mainly to sharpen themselves and supervise the battle, and their role on the battlefield is very limited.

The ones who really play a key role in the Jindan battle are the masters at the hall master level, the elder level and the powerful Jindan real people.

The mere Qi Refining cultivators are just a drop in the ocean in such a high-end battlefield.

Their power is too small to have a substantial impact on the Jindan battle.

Qi Refining cultivators cannot become "Dao soldiers". No matter how many of them are gathered, they can only affect the cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building.

Even when facing the more powerful cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, they can hardly pose a real threat.

Because the battle formation formed by these Qi Refining cultivators, no matter how many people there are, still has fatal flaws.

They simply cannot condense their mana to the extreme state.

In terms of flexibility and tacit understanding of cooperation, it is impossible to be seamless and flawless.

Unless they are a group of "Dao soldiers" who have been running in for dozens or hundreds of years.

Once the "Dao soldiers" are formed, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and they even have the terrifying power to surround and kill high-level cultivators.

However, how easy is it to cultivate such powerful Dao soldiers?

Even a Jindan sect like Ningxuan Sect does not have the means and resources to cultivate them.

Not to mention the powerful battle formations and ‘Dao Bing’ techniques that go with them.

After all, Dao Bing can fight against high-level cultivators head-on.

What is a high-level cultivator? It refers to powerful cultivators like Jindan Zhenren.

Such powerful ‘Dao Bing’ is generally only available to forces at the Yuanying level.

Now, the registration list for the Longmen Club has been confirmed.

And the news that this grand event will officially start in three days has also been spread.

For a time, undercurrents surged throughout the Ningxuan Sect.

Many foundation-building cultivators and core figures of various camps began to make their own calculations in their hearts.

......

The night at ‘Qingyun Peak’ was deep, and only a hint of dim light was still visible in the hall of Qingchen.

Xu Jiuling appeared outside the hall, with a few inexplicable meanings on his face.

He smiled and said, "In two days, Junior Brother Qing will host the Longmen meeting. This is a great event. Senior Brother, congratulations first!"

Qing Chen shook his head and said, "It's like walking on thin ice. Senior Brother, why did you come here at night?"

Xu Jiuling said, "We are all family, so there is no need to say those polite words. To be honest, Senior Brother, I came here today to ask for something."

As he spoke, he slowly took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Qingchen,

"Here are the names of several disciples. When you check these disciples entering the 'No. 2 Trial Island' the day after tomorrow, please be a little more convenient and turn a blind eye to them."

Qingchen frowned: "Brother, this Longmen meeting only takes place once every ten years! It also involves ten foundation-building pills, sect status and many rewards.

If this kind of trick is done at such a critical moment, if it is exposed, I will instantly become the public enemy of all Qi-refining disciples in the sect!"

Xu Jiuling was stunned at first after hearing Qingchen's words, and then he raised his head and laughed.

After laughing, he said: "It seems that Junior Brother has never participated in this Longmen meeting, so he doesn't know the twists and turns inside.

Some of these ten foundation-building pills are reserved for the real "dark horse", and the others are for people valued by the major camps.

We must increase the possibility of obtaining the ten foundation-building pills, and also ensure that we occupy more top 100 positions on the Longmen Gold List.

Junior Brother, don't worry, as long as you don't "find faults" at that time, the examiners will not say anything.

The deacons responsible for checking the storage bags dare not say anything. This matter has long been an unspoken rule of the sect.

Junior Brother, remember that the sect is not just about fighting and killing, but also about "human relations and worldly affairs"!

Qing Chen stood quietly in place, his eyes flickered slightly, and bowed his hands and said:

"In that case, thank you for your teachings, Senior Brother."
