297. The Villain Elder in the Cultivation World (13) (1/2)
Every five years, the young people under the age of thirty will be gathered together for a competition in the world of cultivation. No matter whether they are from a large or small sect or even a casual cultivator, as long as they are not over the age limit, they can all participate.
As the richest sect in the world of cultivation, Tianye Sect not only has a lot of spiritual stones, but also owns a secret realm. When the time comes, Tianye Sect will specially make a pass, first measure the bones, and then use a spiritual stone to exchange for the pass.
The world of cultivation has a large population, and there are often more than 10,000 applicants at the beginning. These people will be teleported to the secret realm, where some spiritual beasts, various rare flowers and plants, and poisonous substances have long been raised. The pass in everyone's hand represents their qualifications. After the pass is taken away and destroyed, the young cultivators without the pass will be automatically teleported outside by the secret realm until the final fifty people are selected for this competition, and then the official competition will begin in Tianye Sect.
When Tianye Sect announced that it could start, countless young cultivators went to Tianye City, including Gu Yuling naturally.
She had never been to the secret realm, and her cultivation was too low. When she thought about competing with so many people, she immediately felt timid. The master did not come out this time, and only the youngest third sister came with her.
Gu Yuling didn't like the third sister very much, always thinking that she was too masculine, and the master obviously liked the third sister more but was indifferent to her, which made her very sad.
But now, at a glance, the only familiar one is the third senior sister. Gu Yuling gritted her teeth and went to the third senior sister who was wearing the same disciple uniform as herself, and asked softly: "Senior sister, when we get to the secret realm, should we go together?"
"Hmm?"
The third senior sister frowned and looked at the little junior sister in front of her. Although she didn't like Gu Yuling very much, at least the master had specifically asked him to take good care of the junior sister before leaving, so she just frowned slightly and asked: "Are you afraid?"
Forget it, at worst she would take Gu Yuling with her. Although this little junior sister looked too tacky and had a timid personality, she was still her junior sister after all. If she was afraid, she, as a senior sister, would of course protect her.
"No."
Looking at the cold and hard expression of the third senior sister, Gu Yuling's eyes darkened, and her heart was full of dissatisfaction.
She was just a woman who couldn't even sew, why did she always look at her so high and mighty?
Gu Yuling was unwilling to admit that she was not afraid. Fortunately, she had not intended to say this reason. She just said softly in a very gentle tone: "I am not afraid, but I heard that the third sister did not know the way. I thought that if the two of us were traveling together, I could help you lead the way."
The third sister did not expect this reason, and did not think much about it. She relaxed and waved her hand carelessly: "Nothing, I will just wander around in the secret realm. Even if I meet someone from other sects, the worst that can happen is that I will rob his pass. When the time comes, the secret realm will naturally send us out."
Although she did not intend to accept the kindness of this junior sister, the third sister's expression had softened a lot, and she even felt guilty for secretly thinking that the junior sister was too shy before.
She was obviously very kind, fortunately she did not say it before.
Gu Yuling, who had no idea that she had been promoted to kind in the heart of the third sister, froze. She never expected that things would turn out like this.
She had said before that she was not afraid anymore, so naturally she could not say anything else. She had to go back to her seat and sit down. However, she waited until she reached the secret realm with a very stiff expression.
She was on her way, and so were Gu Xingxue and Wei Mingyan.
They were different from other casual cultivators. They bought a flying boat directly, and it was the largest and most luxurious one.
Along the way, when the people on other small flying boats saw this flying boat, which was like a giant shark compared to a small koi, they could not help but take a second look.
Which sect is this? It is so luxurious.
Gu Xingxue had never been to the cultivation world before, and did not know what the value of a flying boat was equivalent to, but she knew that this flying boat alone cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.
For Gu Xingxue, who only the head of a family could have double-digit spirit stones, she was a little confused by Wei Mingyan's extravagant spending.
The most confused thing was yet to come.
The white-robed immortal stood on the deck, looking at the expressions outside, and said in a calm voice: "If you can make it to the last fifty who stay, I will give you two foundation-building pills."
Gu Xingxue, who had been calm all these days, was stunned.
If this flying boat is expensive, the foundation-building pill is a hundred times more expensive than it.
The flying boat can only be used for flying, but the foundation-building pill can allow people who have not yet built a foundation to build a foundation directly, and from then on completely get rid of the mortal body, and add a hundred-year longevity technique out of thin air.
Gu Xingxue, who had just broken through the foundation-building not long ago, naturally did not need these, but she also had a pair of parents, all of whom were not destined to the Great Dao. If there were no accidents, they would definitely be separated by Yin and Yang in the future.
If there was this foundation-building pill...
If you say that Gu Xingxue doesn't want it, that's a lie, they are her parents, the ones who gave birth to her and raised her.
Perhaps seeing the hesitation on Gu Xingxue's face, Wei Mingyan added: "If you feel embarrassed, when you go to the secret realm, if a disciple of Tianye Sect is in danger of life, you save him, it will be considered as repaying me." Gu Xingxue looked at the handsome white-clothed immortal in front of him in confusion: "But you and Tianye Sect..." Didn't they say that Wei Mingyan had already betrayed Tianye Sect? "No need to ask more questions, if they are in danger of life, you save them, if not, don't hold back."
Wei Mingyan looked calm and added: "The world of cultivation is not as beautiful as you think. If you have more evil minds in it, if you fail, not only will you not get the Foundation Establishment Pill, but you will also be severely punished."
Gu Xingxue pursed her lips slightly, held her sword and saluted: "Yes."
She was not afraid of the upcoming battle, but was full of excitement about the bloodshed. This little spark of excitement was now completely ignited by Wei Mingyan's two Foundation Establishment Pills.
***
Wei Mingyan's timing was perfect. Within a stick of incense upon arrival, the group of young cultivators were teleported into the arena, including Gu Xingxue.
Those with flying boats parked in the sky waiting for their disciples, while those without flying boats could only wait below.
Tianye Sect's flying boat was also there, but not many people paid attention to the big flying boat that usually always attracted people's attention this time. Almost everyone went to look at the super big flying boat next to them.
It was just the junior's first competition. Tianye Sect did not send many important people. Those with insufficient cultivation would naturally focus on external objects. They couldn't help but frequently looked at the big flying boat on the side.
Many people have seen this flying boat in Tianbao Pavilion before, and it sells for eight thousand spirit stones. Although Tianye Sect can definitely get it, why don't they buy some elixirs with these eight thousand spirit stones.
Therefore, this super expensive flying boat has remained until today.
I never expected that one day it would actually be sold.
"Senior brother, do you know what sect that Feizhou next door belongs to?"
"let me see……"
The senior brother wearing the disciple's uniform found the jade book. The bright golden fonts were floating in the air. After a few quick searches, he quickly found the name.
"Xu Ling Sect?"
Several disciples looked at each other in confusion: "Why have you never heard of this sect before?"
"But to be able to spend so many spiritual stones to buy a flying boat, one must have a lot of background."
"How many disciples have entered their sect?"
The senior brother holding the jade book read it again, and his usually steady face showed confusion: "A disciple?"
"With such a big flying boat, how come only one disciple participated in the competition?"
"It's strange. Don't they have any young disciples in their sect?"
"It's hard to say. I heard that there were several hidden sects before the mortal world and the world of cultivation were separated. However, they gradually disappeared because the world of cultivation was separated. Could it be them?"
Several disciples discussed for a while, and finally the senior brother made the decision: "If it is really a hidden sect, there must be great people among them, and the disciples must be outstanding. When the results come out, if there is Xu Ling among the fifty juniors, Zong, we will go to see you in the name of congratulations and see the cultivation of the Xu Ling Sect. "
This method is indeed the best, and everyone else nodded in agreement, temporarily suppressing their curiosity and waiting for the end of the competition.
Gu Yuling in the secret realm was also looking forward to the end of the competition. She was teleported directly to a swamp. There happened to be a big rock nearby. As soon as she hid behind her, she heard someone talking.
Gu Yuling was immediately happy when she heard the voice of a man. Just as she was patting the dust on her skirt and about to come out from behind the stone where she was hiding, she heard a scream.
She paused and looked over in panic, but she could only see one of the cultivators pulling out the sword inserted in the heart of the other cultivator.
Blood splattered on the ground. After the man was completely dead and all the spiritual stones on his body were taken away, the cultivator took off the pass on his body and destroyed it. At the same time that the pass was destroyed, the cultivator's The corpse was also teleported out.
Gu Yuling was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, and she watched the cultivator look around fiercely, as if she saw another cultivator, and walked over covertly with a sword in hand.
He clearly came here to kill people and seize treasures.
From the moment she saw this scene, Gu Yuling stayed aside and didn't dare to show her head. Fortunately, she brought some luggage and there was no one around here. She ate when she was hungry and drank water when she was thirsty, so she spent this time safely. some days.
Elsewhere in the secret realm, Gu Xingxue once again rescued a cultivator wearing Tianye Sect disciple uniform. When he thanked him, he nodded indifferently and left with his sword.
It was only after she entered the secret realm that she realized that for some casual cultivators, this was not a competition, but a hunting ground that could be very fruitful. For them, the disciples of the sect were as easy to pick as flowers in the greenhouse. Wow, it's so simple.
Gu Xingxue was on guard when she was desired for the first time. She was not polite to him. If there was someone who wanted to kill someone to seize the treasure, he would just kill him with one sword. If he just wanted to compete, he would be better than the previous one. The loser would destroy it himself. The pass order is sent out.
She held the sword and looked at the Chengxiao Sect disciple who was washing his hands by the stream with his back to her. This was the second time that Gu Xingxue couldn't see someone else's cultivation level. This proved that this person's cultivation level was above hers. One of them was also a disciple of Tianye Sect. He was seriously injured in a sneak attack but was saved by her. He destroyed the pass and said crisply: "Is it a competition?"
The female disciple turned around, and her beautiful face immediately showed joy.
"Snow!!!!"
***
"...Chengxiao Sect disciple Yan Gui has returned, Xu Ling Sect disciple Gu Xingxue, and Yuxue Sect disciple Gu Yuling...can enter the Tianye Sect to compete."
The sound echoed in the air and reached everyone's ears. Wei Mingyan handed over a jade box and watched Gu Xingxue take it.
"There is still half a month until the official competition. You can go down to the world now and bring your parents to the world of cultivation."
As he spoke, he motioned to the two cultivators who were standing respectfully at the side to come forward: "This is the puppet I just bought for my master. It is made of spiritual stones and has been cultivated in the Golden Core stage. It only listens to your orders. With them by your side, I You can feel more at ease.”
Gu Xingxue, who was a little startled when he heard his sister's name, glanced at Wei Mingyan, who had no expression in front of him, with a complicated expression, and bowed and accepted.
"Thank you, Master."
The second day, the mortal world
In the yard of the Gu family, Mrs. Sanfang walked out of the yard proudly, turned around and glanced disdainfully at the maid behind her who was looking at her angrily, and left straight away.
Not long after she left, Gu Qi returned to the courtyard with a gloomy face, waved away the servants who saluted him, and walked into the house while rubbing his brows tiredly.
As soon as Gu's mother saw her husband, she quickly stood up and greeted him, her eyes full of expectation: "How is it?"
Gu Qi shook her head: "Father can't help it. He just said that Xingxue is not the daughter of our Gu family."
Gu's mother's tears fell immediately, and she lay on the table crying sadly: "You said what evil did we do when we went to snow? It was just that we encountered that kind of thing before, but now we have finally improved, and we actually said... There is no Xu Ling Sect in the world of cultivation..."
"And Yu Ling, couldn't it be better if she only sent us a private message to say this matter? Why did she tell all her relatives about it? Just now, the third sister-in-law came to my room again, and every word she said touched my heart. My father also told me about it. No matter, is our Xingxue really just leaving it alone and not looking for it..."
She had been crying since she received the letter, but Gu Yuling almost had a letter in hand. The letter also specifically mentioned the news that her sister was missing and the Xu Ling Sect did not exist at all, saying that she was asking the elders to find a solution.
But they are all mortals, so how can they think of a good solution.
As long as Gu Yuling thought about her family and her sister, she would have known that this kind of thing could not be spread to outsiders at will. It was enough to pass it on to Grandpa Gu, who was the head of the family. She specially wrote a letter to pass it on to Qifang, who had never dealt with it. What's going on with the third bedroom?
In doing so, he almost trampled on Qifang's face and Gu Xingxue's feet. No wonder the third lady, who had stopped doing business since Qifang gave birth to two daughters who went to the world of cultivation, straightened her back and taunted her.
Now that she has received the letter, she naturally knows that the two daughters of the Gu family, Gu Xingxue, are missing, and Gu Yuling and Qifang are not of the same mind.
In this case, why are you afraid of what they will do?
Thinking of the sarcastic and sneering look of the third sister-in-law, Gu's mother doubted for the first time whether the child she raised as her biological daughter was still the same as she remembered.
Gu Qi was about to comfort him when a noisy sound suddenly came from outside. He frowned and was about to scold him a few times when he saw the most favored maid beside the madam running over with a face full of joy, holding up her skirt and stepping over the threshold. Kneeling in front of the two of them.
"Master! Madam!! Our lady is back!!"
"Miss Eleven is back!!"
The author has something to say: Yes, Jinjiang smoked again, and he is still getting used to it calmly. I won’t give out red envelopes again tomorrow, okay?
Red envelopes will be distributed to the top ten little angels (to occupy the top ten in Jinjiang, it must be true love)
