Chapter 247 Above the Ceremony
The sky is clear and cloudless.
Miluo Peak is full of strange flowers, including red, pink, blue, and purple...the flowers are in clusters, colorful, and have wonderful fragrance, which makes people feel comfortable.
A sapphire step fell from the top of the peak. It stood in the sky, surrounded by clear springs in the air. Shi Xuan led ten disciples, guided by the monks of the Luofu Sect, and walked up the steps to the top of Miluo Peak deep in the white clouds. go.
The leading monk secretly glanced at Shi Xuan from time to time, his eyes full of reverence and yearning, and at the same time, he kept walking up the steps.
The sapphire steps seemed extremely long, but Shi Xuan only took five steps and found that he had reached the top of Miluo Peak. On Miluo Peak, white cranes danced and chirped, and other immortal and auspicious beasts wandered among the white clouds. A road paved with sapphire stretched from the edge of the peak to the hall that looked like an immortal palace.
After entering the main hall, there were already inner disciples of the Luofu Sect waiting for them. A female disciple wearing a pink dress came up and said, "Junior Mei Leer, Senior Shi, please follow me forward."
Shi Xuan nodded, and under the leadership of Mei Leer, he walked to a green bamboo table on the first left hand side of the main hall. Behind the green bamboo table was an apricot-yellow futon. Mei Leer smiled politely and said: "Senior Shi, please sit here." As for Luo Banshan, Tang Youqiu, Jiang Nianqiao and others, they could only wait behind Shi Xuan.
Hearing this, Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon, while Mei Leer brought out a white jade plate from nowhere, with a simple and elegant set of teacups and teapots on it. She skillfully made tea for Shi Xuan, and then stood delicately on Shi Xuan's right hand with her head held high and her back straight. It seemed that she would be solely responsible for Shi Xuan's case from now on.
Shi Xuan had already looked at this hall. There were two to three hundred desks in two rows inside. This showed that in addition to the eight major sects, there were many other small and medium-sized sects and casual cultivators.
I just don’t know how this order is arranged. If we look at the strength of the sects, the Penglai sect no longer has an advantage compared to the top-grade golden elixir. Compared with the real people above Yuanshen, Meng Nishang of the Guanghan sect has suffered three heavenly tribulations. If it is based on the previous Shi Xuan didn't know where the cultivators who came to congratulate him would rank, so Shi Xuan was a little confused as to why the Penglai sect was still ranked first without a doubt. Could it be that there were two pure Yang magic weapons? Could it be based on the results of the last Cangmang Dharma Assembly?
There were already many monks sitting in the main hall. Dong Yuanzi, whom Shi Xuan knew, was sitting behind the second table opposite. Seeing Shi Xuan looking at him, he smiled and nodded in response. Lou Yizhi sat under Shi Xuan, Gong Xujing and The other six female disciples were standing behind her. When Shi Xuan looked over, she nodded as well, but her face was still as cold as ice.
Shi Xuan didn't recognize any of the other small and medium-sized sect monks and casual cultivators sitting in the middle and back of the hall. Next to the big white jade chair above the main hall, there was a young man in Confucian robes and ribbons standing there, leaning slightly to the side, his eyes seemed to be open or closed.
After a while, Ning Wuque, who was wearing a pure white robe, and a handsome purple-haired young man in a black royal robe came hand in hand. The purple-haired monk's eyes flashed with strange lights, and the colors changed continuously. If any monk was overestimating his abilities, Looking at the past, he even felt like his soul was separated. He walked straight to the table opposite Shi Xuan and sat down. He looked at the void in front of him with concentration, as if he was isolated from this world. This was exactly what Dong Yuanzi mentioned yesterday. , the reincarnation king who the Nether Sect came to congratulate this time ranked first in the mobile rankings today.
Among the eight disciples he led, two were entrainers and six were out-of-body. Half were in black robes and half were in white robes. However, they were all filled with Yin Qi, and they were unable to contain this special aura even after thinking about it.
Ning Wuque sat under Lou Yi. He didn't even look at Shi Xuan. Behind him were the eight dull guards in red armor, a middle-aged charioteer, and eight beautiful maids.
Afterwards, Xu Yu, who was dressed in plain white, and Lu Xiangrong, who was wearing red Taoist robes, came with the disciples of their respective sects. Xu Yu sat under Ning Wuque, and Lu Xiangrong, a veteran middle-grade golden elixir monk from Tianhuo Sect, sat under Dong Yuanzi. Also a few years ago, Tianhuo Sect finally produced a high-grade golden elixir. Song Wenyao, the Heavenly Fire Immortal.
When the tables in the main hall were all filled with monks, a clear sound resounded through the sky, and then one after another, nine times later, a man in his thirties wearing a Liangyi Taoist robe walked in. He was tall, His face was as sharp as a knife, and there was a hint of leisure in his composure.
Seeing him coming in, the man in Confucian robes first raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Shen for achieving the Golden Elixir." Then all the monks sitting cross-legged stood up, whether they were the Golden Elixir Grandmaster or the Divine Soul Stage monks, they all shouted in unison. Said: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shen (senior) for achieving the Golden Elixir."
Shen Xianyun walked slowly to the big white jade chair amidst congratulations, then turned around and cupped his hands and said: "Shen Xianyun thanks all fellow Taoists. Please sit down."
After all the monks were seated, Shen Xianyun sat upright in the white jade chair. The man in Confucian robes walked to the middle and faced Shen Xianyun: "Junior brother Qiao Mu Bai Dai sect congratulates senior brother for achieving the golden elixir." He clapped his hands, and two inner disciples came holding two jade boxes. Next to Shen Xianyun, the jade box was presented respectfully.
Shi Xuan thought in his heart, it turns out that this is Qiao Mubai, the sword-playing maniac. Listening to his voice, he is afraid that he is the golden elixir master who taught him a lesson in Tianji City for his arrogance. He is now ranked fourth on the Tianji Ranking, but judging from his expression , I am afraid that he is much more arrogant than himself and says arrogant things. I really don’t know who is talking about whom.
When Qiao Mubai finished congratulating him, Mei Leer motioned for Shi Xuan to step forward. Shi Xuan stood up slowly, took Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu to the middle aisle, bowed his hands to Shen Xianyun and said, "Junior Penglai Sect Shi Xuan congratulates Senior Shen on behalf of the sect for achieving the Golden Elixir." Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu bent down and saluted. Then he walked up holding the congratulatory gift carefully selected by Lingxing.
The small and medium-sized sects and casual cultivators below immediately focused their attention on Shi Xuan. In the past two days, it was rumored that the first swordsman below the Golden Core level had mastered sword light differentiation. They were shocked and inexplicable, and Shi Xuan was shocked. Xuan lives in seclusion and is difficult to visit, so naturally he has to take a closer look now.
Shen Xianyun silently accepted the congratulatory gift, and then said lightly: "Shen, thank you Penglai sect." After a pause, he continued: "I wonder if your master is okay?" He knew about Mo Yuan's achievement as a Yin Shen. , but that’s all I can ask at this time.
Shi Xuan replied respectfully: "My master, everything is well. I have told this junior that if Senior Shen achieves the Golden Elixir, he must come in person to send congratulations."
Shen Xianyun smiled and said, "Okay, very good." It was quite self-deprecating.
Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Shi Xuan saluted again and walked behind his desk, passing Qiao Mubai side by side. Then Shi Xuan's consciousness sensed Qiao Mubai's words: "If you can restrain your arrogance, then It’s quite good to understand the secrets of Jianguang’s differentiation over the years.”
Shi Xuan could only say: "Senior, you are so complimentary." If Qiao Mubai had been present at that time, he would not have been able to hide the secret of his true and false sword light differentiation from him. After all, although Lou Yizhi was a top-grade golden elixir, he could only become an elixir at a low level. However, his swordsmanship is no better than that of Qiao Mubai, the master of swordsmanship who has mastered the differentiation of sword light.
Qiao Mubai snorted: "How can we, swordsmen, be so hypocritical? We can't restrain our arrogance and go to other extremes. You have to remember this." He seemed to be quite interested in being a teacher. However, since he saw Shi Xuan being too arrogant and gave him a lesson, he knew that this was in line with his character. Of course, it is also certain that he hates evil as much as he hates it.
"Yes." Shi Xuan replied politely, then sat cross-legged and watched the sects and casual cultivators coming up to congratulate him one by one.
The congratulations were not over until the sun was shining brightly at noon. Then the disciples and maids of the Luofu Sect filed in holding jade plates with flat peaches and other fairy and spiritual fruits on them. Although they were no longer of much use to monks like Shi Xuan, they tasted really good, so Shi Xuan didn't show off at all. Tasting it without ceremony, it seemed very free and comfortable among most of the formal monks.
Uncle Shi took the lead, and disciples such as Tang Youqiu and Jiang Nianqiao also took the fairy fruits and ate them. These fairy fruits and spiritual fruits had a great effect on clearing the soul and strengthening the body. Of course, after they came down, they still had to practice digestion step by step. Otherwise the benefits turn into harms.
In the aisle, some Luofu sect maids began to dance. Next to Shi Xuan was Lou Yizhi, who really couldn't chat. He could only watch the immortals dance and eat the flat peach fairy fruit.
A quarter of an hour later, the Luofu disciples and maids filed in again and took away the jade plate. At this time, Qiao Mubai stood up and said loudly: "The eight major sects of ours made an agreement the day before yesterday to let the disciples compete after the ceremony today, so that they can gain more experience in fighting, so as not to suffer disadvantages when traveling outside in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the monks and casual cultivators of the small and medium-sized sects were all happy. It was an unexpected joy to see the eight major sects competing. Although their cultivation level was much higher than those of the disciples, there was no need to pry into anything, but these major sects How the sect cultivates disciples can still allow them to learn something from the performance of the eight major sects' disciples, and accumulate experience for their own sect or their own disciples. Another reason for excitement is that watching the excitement is indeed a good thing, and it can be regarded as the Little Cangmang Dharma Assembly.
After Qiao Mubai finished speaking, he pointed his hand, and the hall corridor emitted a misty clear light, and then gathered upwards, and finally turned into a sky-fighting platform with a radius of dozens of feet above, with a winding step on each side. Down.
"I wonder which sect's disciples are willing to come first?" Qiao Mubai looked at the monks from the other seven sects.
Ning Wuque stood up without hesitation: "My Blood Demon Sect is willing, but our designated opponent is the Penglai Sect." As he spoke, he looked at Shi Xuan with a mocking smile, a crazy flame burning in his eyes.
Huh, the other monks outside the eight sects all took a breath. They didn't expect to be so tense from the beginning, but it's right to think about it. Shi Xuan of the Penglai sect has a hatred for the Blood Demon Sect.
Qiao Mubai looked at Shi Xuan and asked, "I wonder if the Penglai faction is willing to fight?"
