Chapter 251 Doubts
Ning Wuque's expression did not change, and he said with a slight smile: "No, it's the disciples of your sect who are really extraordinary." The harmonious atmosphere disappointed those golden elixir masters and divine soul masters who wanted to see his joke.
Next, Shi Xuan and Ning Wuque both became spectators with calm faces, because the two sects had precedents in the front, and they were followed by disciples in the Qi-entraining stage and disciples in the out-of-body stage. The Luofu Sect and the Nether Sect had a win and a draw, but the Qiyao Sword Formation of those disciples in the out-of-body period was too fierce in the early stage and was unable to sustain its strength. They lost to the Nether Sect's three pairs of black and white ghost soldiers who joined forces, allowing them to Very depressed.
The Yaowang Sect and the Yingzhou Sect also had one win and one loss. Only the Guanghan Sect defeated the Tianhuo Sect twice, which made Lu Xiangrong look unhappy. Because the two sects' techniques restrained each other, and they competed for their cultivation strength, the Guanghan Sect was able to win both games. Well, that means that the disciples of Tianhuo Sect are really going to lose.
The only thing that makes Shi Xuan regretful is that these are not true disciples, so he cannot experience Guanghan Qi, Bingpo Qi, Tianhuo Qi, Sun Fire, Huangquan Qi, Luofu Qi, Piaomiao Qi, etc. The mystery of the true energy cultivated by various schools of truth.
After these three competitions were over, Qiao Mubai said: "The disciples of each sect in the out-of-body stage have exhausted a lot and it is difficult to continue, so this competition will end here. Do you have any opinions?"
The golden elixir masters of other sects looked at the pale faces and sweat beads of the disciples in the out-of-body stage behind them. Naturally, they could not say anything to continue the fight, which disappointed the monks and casual cultivators of the small and medium-sized sects. They thought they had failed. A battle between disciples in the Qiao stage will be extremely boring. You use your small magical powers and I use low-level magical weapons. The result is unexpected, but it is a lot of fun. Although the Penglai Sect's Azure Dragon Sword Formation destroyed the Blood Demon Sect's Flesh Hell Formation is the most exciting. , but the next three matches were all full of tricks, not much worse than the first match. Now that I had just started to look interesting, but there was no trace behind, I had to sigh.
"Since everyone has no objections, the Golden Elixir Ceremony of Senior Brother Shen will end here." Qiao Mubai announced, and the leader Shen Xianyun also stood up and saluted the monks.
Shi Xuan secretly laughed in his heart. He should set off some fireworks at this time. He didn't know how the fireworks produced by the Xian family were any different from the fireworks he had seen in his previous life.

The Emerald Valley of the Louvre.
After finishing the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Shi Xuan returned to his residence with several disciples. Because all the disciples in the out-of-body period were exhausted, and Ren Shuiyao had not yet woken up, Shi Xuan said to them: "You guys have a good rest today, and we will return to the sect tomorrow."
These disciples in the out-of-body stage, led by Li Bingnan and Jiang Nianqiao, bowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your careful teaching during this period, so that we have a chance to win." At the same time, they took out the Yimu Qinglong Sword, although there were some Reluctant to part with it, but still resolutely handed it out and prepared to return it to Uncle Shi.
Shi Xuan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry for now, maybe there will be something useful on the way, and it won't be too late to return it to me when you return to the sect." In the doubtful expressions of these disciples, Shi Xuan continued: "You guys I am very satisfied with your performance this time. It is worthy of my teaching the sword formation to you. Especially the two nephews Zhou Banyu and Ren Shuiyao. It is commendable that they could calm down quickly when they first encountered such a terrifying and bloody environment. Of course, several other disciples also got rid of the emotional interference later, which was very good." Shi Xuan has always been generous in praising the good performance of his disciples, which is different from his own master in this regard.
Hearing Shi Xuan's praise, these disciples were extremely happy. They had defeated a powerful opponent and received praise from their respected elders. These disciples who had only been practicing Taoism for a short time could not hold back their joy. Some of them were grateful to Master Shi for his praise. , there were people laughing and joking about the scene at that time, but the most talked about was Zhou Banyu, who was praised by Uncle Shi.
For example, Jiang Nianqiao walked half a circle around Zhou Banyu, looked him up and down, rubbed his small and smooth chin with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Well, Senior Brother Zhou has the best courage and temperament. As expected, people have no appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Hehe, the little girl was impressed." But he couldn't hold on to that tone.
Zhou Banyu scratched his head a little shyly, but before he could say anything, Li Bingnan interjected: "That's right, Banyu, you really exceeded my expectations. At that time, the place was full of flesh and blood, the blood clots on the ground were squirming, and on the opposite side was another You seem to be an unkillable monster, but you are not afraid at all, and you are extremely calm and make suggestions. Brother, I have to write a word of gratitude." As he said it, he smiled and said thank you. Speaking of which, Zhou Banyu was the two main contributors to this. One of them, so several others also came over to say thank you, but the young man couldn't save face, so he couldn't say a solemn and formal thank you, so he had to use a method similar to Jiang Nianqiao's to include his gratitude in ridicule.
But when Zhou Banyu heard Li Bingnan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face began to turn pale. Jiang Nianqiao, Li Bingnan and others looked strange. Li Bingnan asked: "Banyu, what's wrong with you? Are you suffering from internal injuries?" You won't get hurt on the fighting stage. Besides, even if there are internal injuries, wouldn't an expert like Uncle Shi not be able to see it?
Zhou Banyu covered his mouth and shook his head, then said vaguely: "It was nothing at first, but when you mentioned the scene before, Bingnan, I immediately felt that it was so bloody and terrifying!" Cold sweat broke out on his face, and he looked uncomfortable. It seemed like he was lying. Even at the end of the sentence, he was retching, as if he still found the scene disgusting.
Li Bingnan, Jiang Nianqiao and others opened their mouths wide and looked at each other with incredible expressions. Although they and others were scared at the time, they forgot about it after winning. They didn't think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, they were bold at the time. Zhou Banyu, who was calm, now had an expression of fear and abnormality. What could this be? !
Shi Xuan couldn't help laughing. He smiled and shook his head. According to the previous life, Zhou Banyu belonged to the type with a fear reflex arc that was too long. For him, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. At the same time, he waved and said: "You guys also We are all tired, let’s go down and rest.”
The disciples in the out-of-body stage really felt very tired, so they resigned together. Li Bingnan helped Zhou Banyu back to their respective courtyards to rest. However, the two disciples in the entrainment stage, Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu, stood there motionless and opened their mouths several times to speak. .
Shi Xuan glanced at them and said calmly: "Senior nephew Luo, you performed well today."
Luo Banyu took this opportunity, stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Master, that's a compliment. However, I have something to ask Master Master." While speaking, he glanced at Tang Youqiu, who knowingly left the room for the time being.
"As long as it doesn't involve sect secrets, you can just ask." Shi Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Luo Banshan briefly recounted his past with a little confusion and a little indignation, and finally asked: "Uncle Shi, I really don't know what I did wrong. Why do the elders of the sect always treat me badly?" Turn a blind eye?"
Shi Xuan knew the problem, but it was difficult to say it directly when it came to the way the sect cultivated disciples. So he first told Luo Banshan the good and bad aspects of the elixir, and then said: "Maybe Luo Senior Nephew You were eager to advance and used too many pills, leaving some hidden dangers, so the sect will have to observe it for a while. "
When Luo Banshan heard Shi Xuan's anatomy analysis, he recalled the sermons he had heard from his elders and senior brothers. They all talked about the disadvantages of elixirs and advised disciples to use them with caution and not to exceed their own control ability. But at that time, he Immersed in the rapid improvement of cultivation brought by the elixir, he did not take these warnings to heart. Unexpectedly, he planted the root of disaster. His lips trembled slightly and he asked: "Uncle Shi, can the disciple be saved? What needs to be done? What?" He has practiced Taoism for more than a century, so he naturally doesn't want all his previous efforts and efforts to be in vain.
Shi Xuan nodded to reassure Luo Banshan, and then slowly said: "If you take a shortcut, you will naturally have to pay a price, but sometimes this price requires a lot of effort to make up for, and sometimes this price is difficult to make up for. You This situation is okay, it belongs to the previous category. As long as you can calm down, polish yourself, spend twenty or thirty years to enhance your control ability, and finally rely on your own strength to achieve the soul, of course. There are masters and elders who accept you as their disciples.”
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your advice. My nephew will definitely polish himself!" Luo Banshan looked excited and saw the way forward. He was only in his eighties and had plenty of time to make up for the cost of taking shortcuts. It's not too late to make up for it!
When Luo Banshan resigned, Tang Youqiu walked in. Her expression changed uncertainly. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Shi, I have something that I need to tell you. Should I tell you something or not?"
"But it doesn't matter." Shi Xuan looked at Tang Youqiu with a smile.
Tang Youqiu's beautiful eyes did not flinch and said: "Uncle Shi, during today's ceremony, did you deliberately anger Ning Wuque in the end?" It was referring to Shi Xuan's last tit-for-tat sentence, "I accept the concession."
"Oh? Why can't I protect the image of the sect?" Shi Xuan took a sip from the teacup. Instead of answering directly, he wanted to see what else Tang Youqiu could say.
Tang Youqiu seemed to have gone through it in his mind and said smoothly: "When I met Ning Wuque a few days ago, my nephew looked at his behavior and felt that he and your uncle should have some personal grudges, and maybe he would attack you on the way home. It's unknown, but due to the default rule that high-level monks from several major sects cannot attack low-level monks unless they are in direct conflict, no matter how crazy Ning Wuque is, the possibility of taking action is at most 20%. In this case, most people would not. You should try to avoid his sharp edges and avoid irritating him. Unexpectedly, Uncle Master, you are tit-for-tat and have no scruples. This is by no means a simple way to maintain the image of the sect, so Youqiu feels that Uncle Master, you are deliberately irritating Ning Wuque. "
"Haha, what's the benefit of irritating him to me? He is a top-grade golden elixir? Even ten Shi's tied together are no match for him." Shi Xuan continued to ask calmly.
Tang Youqiu showed a confident smile: "Although my disciple has not seen any contact between my uncle and the sect, there have been several golden elixir masters visiting me these days. Perhaps, uncle, you want to solve the hidden danger once and for all."
Shi Xuan chuckled and said, "You can see it, nephew Tang, but can't Ning Wuque see it?"
Tang Youqiu was stunned for a moment.
