In the early morning, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant in the medicine garden. Xing Tian, wearing a brand-new outer disciple uniform, walked outside Han Buping's house, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Elder Han, this disciple needs to take a day off."
"Ask for leave?" Han Buping walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, looked at Xing Tian who was in formal clothes outside the door, but thought of something and said: "Oh, I forgot, today is the fifteenth day of the month, and it is the ground ranking competition.
What about today? You want to try it too?"
"Disciples know that the sect will give out rewards in order of ranking on the local list. If there is such an opportunity, it is natural to give it a try!" Xing Tian said with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead. In a few days, you may have to go out with me. I want to say hello to you in advance and don't run around!" Han Buping waved his hand with a smile, signaling Xing Tian to leave.
When Xing Tian left the medicine garden, Han Buping gave a sinister laugh and returned to his room. He took out a piece of paper-like thing from a hidden compartment, but this thing was more flexible than paper. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a piece of paper.
Human skin.
On this human skin, there were many small words written with unknown ink, but Han Buping held this human skin as if he was holding a treasure.
"There is one more medicine that can make up all the formulas in this ancient prescription, but this last medicine is a bit difficult to handle. The pure yin body virgin essence and blood, doesn't this medicine need to be used as a guide? This
It's not a big deal at first, but if others know that I have done such an evil thing, I will definitely die. So when the time comes to practice the life-extending and rejuvenating pill, I will kill that boy Xingtian. In this way, the secret will never be revealed.
People will find out!" At this time, a sickly smile appeared on Han Buping's face.
…
The outer sect of Guashan Sect, Wudou Pavilion.
Here is a huge platform. The ground is paved with bluestone. It is about a hundred feet away. On one side of the platform, there is a huge stone tablet with many names hanging on it.
This is the list of places.
The stone tablet can accommodate 300 names. In other words, if you want to be on the list, you must be ranked within 300 of the 3,000 disciples of the outer sect. As long as the disciples are on the list, they will receive additional rewards every month.
Pills, martial arts, and even personal guidance from some elders.
In addition to the actual benefits that can be seen, as long as you are on the list, you will also get something very important.
That is reputation.
In life, the most important thing is face. Everyone wants to be recognized by others when walking on the road, and then look at them with envy and respect.
Just like at this moment, some disciples who are ranked on the ground list come from the bottom of the mountain. They will be recognized by other disciples immediately, and then they will salute respectfully. When people pass by, they will also cast envious eyes.
But Xingtian felt that this was not the original intention of the existence of the Dibang.
Both Lao Ya and Master Qu Chong have said that the path of martial arts is endless. After exploring for a lifetime, you will find that you have just begun to get a glimpse of the door. But often when you are old, you need to work hard if you want to go further than others.
It's like walking up an endless staircase. In the limited time, all you can do is go further than others.
The Earth Ranking is to encourage students to explore and move forward. This is its true value.
At this moment, Xingtian stood in front of the big monument on the ground list with his hands behind his back and looked up at it for a long time, thinking to himself. And his actions also attracted many people to criticize him.
"Look, this kid is fascinated here. It's probably his first time to participate in the Earth Ranking Competition. I'm very impressed by it!" said a disciple.
"When I saw the Earth Ranking for the first time, who wouldn't be fascinated by it? Now that kid is probably imagining what kind of glory he would have if he could be on the Earth Ranking." Another disciple laughed.
"Don't underestimate those who have started in the past few months. I heard that Xu Jiang, who started more than a few months ago, broke into the top 100 in the land ranking competition last month. Such achievements
, it has not appeared in the outer sect of Guashan Sect for several years." said a female disciple.
"I also know this person. That Xu Jiang is the disciple of Elder Yu and the cousin of Senior Brother Chu Yingjie. It is reasonable for such a person to be on the list. By the way, I also heard that Xu Jiang is also with
A disciple who entered the school later than him made an appointment to compete in this place ranking competition, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"It's absolutely true that this matter has spread. After all, our Guashan Outer Gate is such a big place. Once such interesting things are exposed, the whole city will know about it. But the one who competed with Xu Jiang
The disciple is said to be unknown, but I think this is more boring than fighting!" A disciple was obviously biased towards Xu Jiang.
There were obviously many disciples who had the same idea. These few people were chatting happily. When they looked at the Dibang stone tablet again, they found that the young disciple who had been looking up quietly below was no longer there.
At this moment, Xing Tian had already walked to an open space with few people and was waiting. He heard the words of those people just now, not because of how good his ears were, but because those people spoke loudly.
Xing Tian was not worried about the competition with Xu Jiang. If he had not understood Vajra Prajna Palm, the outcome would have been difficult to predict. However, after three months of practice with the old futon monk in his dream, he had absolute confidence to defeat Xu Jiang in one fell swoop.
River.
Vajra Prajna Palm, if divided by levels, is definitely the highest martial art that can be practiced in the body tempering realm. To be honest, after enlightenment in March in the dream, Xing Tian already had a very thorough understanding of the palm technique, but he
However, his body has not been strengthened much by this. His current cultivation level is still at the minor level of the Body Tempering Realm. However, with hard training and various elixirs, he is not far away from breaking through to the Great Body Tempering Realm. And with the deepening of cultivation,
This Vajra Prajna Palm is enough to support Xing Tian to practice until he reaches the perfection of the body tempering state.
Of course, these are all things for later. What Xingtian has to do now is to defeat Xu Jiang.
Just as Xing Tian was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard someone say: "Master Lingjian is here. The number one person in the outer sect, Senior Brother Liu, is indeed a master!"
Xing Tian looked up, and sure enough he saw a young man wearing a green disciple uniform slowly walking onto the platform. This man looked elegant, with a long sword at his waist, and behind him was a monkey scratching his head and ears, but he was very eye-catching.
.
Xing Tian has also heard of Master Lingjian Liu Wujian. He is the number one disciple of the outer sect. He has occupied the first place on the earth rankings for a year. If nothing happens, if he is allowed to occupy the position for another year, he will be 100% able to do so.
Enter the inner door.
This Liu Wujian didn't have any airs. After he walked up, he stood proudly. The disciples around him all consciously made a space for the number one person in the outer sect.
Next, listening to the free introductions from the disciples around him, Xing Tian also saw all the disciples who ranked high on the local rankings coming. Basically, the top twenty were all here. Of course, apart from the twenty, the top three hundred were also here.
The ones inside had arrived a long time ago, but their appearance was obviously not as impressive as the top twenty disciples.
"Look, it's Senior Sister Gongsun. She is so pretty and fragrant. She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in my outer sect!" A disciple shouted as he looked at a woman walking slowly with a short sword on her waist.
"Look at what you are like, Brother Zhu. This Senior Sister Gongsun is as fierce as Senior Brother Liu. She has occupied the second place in the land rankings for a year. She is skilled and beautiful. We can just look up to you. You kid has nothing else."
You're crazy, otherwise I won't spare you, senior brother!" Another disciple also laughed.
Like Liu Wujian, Gongsun Zhi was also surrounded by a distance of two to three meters, and other disciples did not even have the courage to stand next to them.
At this moment, two more disciples came up, causing another wave of commotion.
"Look, look, this is Senior Brother Chu Yingjie who is ranked third on the Earth Ranking. It is said that he has finally broken through to the acupoint opening realm during this retreat. I don't know when we will be able to reach that point in cultivation.
.”
"Senior Brother Chu Yingjie is extremely talented. It only took a little more than two years after entering the outer sect to cultivate to the point of opening acupuncture points. At this speed alone, he can be ranked in the top three!"
"Look who is following Senior Brother Chu?"
"That's Senior Brother Xu Jiang, Senior Brother Chu's cousin. He also ranked among the top 100 on the Earth Ranking last month..."
"This has happened. It seems that another genius-level figure is about to emerge among the outer sect!"
As the disciples on the Earth Ranking arrived one by one, discussions broke out around him. Xing Tian stood in the crowd and just looked at Xu Jiang, who was arrogant and proud.
Of course, Xing Tian has also observed Chu Yingjie. There is no doubt that with his current level of cultivation, he may not be able to make even one move in the opponent's hands. The opponent has only just broken through to the acupoint opening realm, while Yu Tonghai has already opened the acupuncture point.
Having achieved great success in the acupuncture realm, I am afraid that I still have a long way to go to avenge the palm strike on the day of the martial arts test.
As time goes by, more and more people are on this huge platform. Even if not all the three thousand disciples of the outer sect come, at least more than two thousand come, not to mention many deacons and elders are also here, so it is
There was a lot of excitement and excitement. However, Xing Tian did not see Yu Tonghai coming. Perhaps the latter had something to do and was unable to come.
In the center of the platform, there is a fighting platform, which is made of extremely hard corundum stone. All competitions can be held on it. For the competition on the Earth Ranking, disciples other than the three hundred on the Earth Ranking can choose any one on the list to compete.
If you win the challenge, you will replace it. If you lose, you will naturally go back and forth. However, it is inevitable to be embarrassed in public. And because there have been casualties in the ground ranking competition, after all, swords, fists, and kicks have no eyes.
, so if you are not a disciple who has a certain degree of confidence in your own cultivation, you will not easily challenge the disciples on the list.
When the time was almost up, some of the deacons and elders who were responsible for the competition on the local ranking jumped up to the high platform and asked if any disciples came to challenge the disciples on the ranking.
The scene fell into a brief silence, but soon, some disciples who thought they were extraordinary and wanted to become famous in a battle came to the martial arts platform and challenged a certain disciple on the list by name. Generally speaking, the ground list
All the famous disciples will accept the challenge, but there are very few who can actually be knocked off the list.
Any disciple who can be on the Earth Ranking still has two skills. The existence of the Earth Ranking itself is a judgment of strength. For a time, there were fierce battles on the field. There were at least five or six battles. The strength of the people on the stage was all
In the Body Tempering Realm, and there are only a few in the early stage, most of them have cultivation levels of Xiaocheng or above. There are even many disciples who have completed the Body Tempering Realm and the Dzogchen Realm on stage. There is a competition, and it is still a challenge from a Dzogchen Body Tempering Realm disciple.
A disciple who was ranked thirty-one on the local ranking list. After the latter came on stage, he actually used Qigong to knock the former off the ring with one palm, causing a lot of commotion.
Qigong is a martial art that can only be practiced by warriors in the Breath Controlling Realm. In other words, this disciple who is ranked thirty-one is already a Breath Controlling Realm warrior.
