The old man on the stage listened to the discussions below, sighed inwardly, and turned to another topic.
"In the war between the two clans, countless monks died every day. Countless strong men also emerged among our human clan. The rankings on the merit list change from time to time, but the Seven Yuan True Lord at the top of the Nascent Soul and Qin Yu Zhenren at the top of the Golden Pill.
The ranking of the two has never changed."
The monks in the audience nodded in agreement. Since the outbreak of the war, the names of these two people have become more and more famous.
"There are ten thousand monks on the merit list. It seems like there are a lot of places, but this list is common to all ten continents. It is very difficult to leave a name on the list."
"That's it for the Nascent Soul List. The number of Nascent Soul Lords is already scarce. So far, the total number of Nascent Soul Lords participating in the war is only three to four thousand. The most fierce competition is the list of the Golden Core Stage."
"Among the 10,000 Jindan cultivators on the list, we in Yanzhou account for nearly 2,000. The recently famous Master Qingzhu, Sanshi Sanren, and Fairy Miaofa are all cultivators in Fenglei Island."
Xu Chunniang was picking spiritual materials in front of a stall under the teahouse. She overheard her name and looked calm.
Since she first appeared on the merit list with the title of Miaofa more than two months ago, her ranking has continued to rise.
From the 10,000th place at the beginning to more than 900th place now, the rise is so fast that it is staggering.
News and rumors about her, including the magical weapons and various methods she used, as well as the tiger-like spiritual beasts that were always around her, gradually spread, and she was talked about by the monks on Fenglei Island.
After Xu Chunniang selected the spiritual materials, she paid and left.
Since Master Miaofa became famous, in order to reduce trouble, she no longer took Xiao Juzi and Xiao Bai with her when she went out, nor did she rent an inn, but bought a house.
She walked towards the courtyard and saw from a distance a middle-aged male cultivator standing in front of the courtyard door.
The middle-aged male cultivator noticed something and looked at her with a friendly smile.
"Fairy Miaofa, we meet again."
Xu Chunniang frowned without leaving any trace. Half a month ago, this person came to her and invited her to some kind of discussion meeting.
At that time, she refused because she had no time. She never thought that today, half a month later, this person would come to her again.
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and said with a slightly cold attitude, "If you still invite me to attend the discussion meeting, there is no need to say more."
After three months of unremitting efforts, she now has as many as 90,000 merit points.
All of them are exchanged for top-quality spiritual stones, which can be exchanged for nine pieces.
Including the original four coins in her hand, there are thirteen coins in total.
It's just that among these thirteen pieces, three are small orange pieces. They really belong to Xu Chunniang, but there are only ten pieces.
Ten top-quality spiritual stones can barely raise one level of cultivation, which is still far from the Nascent Soul stage.
She was busy earning merit, so she declined the invitation from the middle-aged male cultivator without much thought.
The middle-aged male cultivator seemed to have expected to be rejected. His expression did not change at all when he heard this, and he said with a smile.
"Why should Fairy Miaofa refuse in a hurry? In addition to Jindan Zhenren, many Nascent Soul Lords are also invited to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference. If the fairy goes to the Dao Discussion Conference, she will definitely gain something."
Xu Chunniang was still indifferent. This forum on Taoism sounds like what it sounds like. In the name of inviting monks on the merit list to discuss Taoism, it is actually just the Zhuque Zhu family of Yanzhou Ancestral Island, trying to attract guests.
Just buy people's hearts.
Seeing her silence, the middle-aged male cultivator's expression froze slightly, and he finally gritted his teeth as he remembered the news he heard from the Zhou family.
"I heard that Fairy Miaofa is very interested in the Kunlun Fairy Mountain to the west of Ximing. The Zhu family hosted a discussion meeting where monks from all over the world gathered. There may be news about the Kunlun Fairy Mountain."
Xu Chunniang's face turned cold and she looked at the male cultivator in front of her with obvious displeasure in her eyes.
Being stared at so directly, the middle-aged male cultivator suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly explained.
"Fairy, please don't get angry. I didn't mean to find out about the fairy. I just happened to be a guest at Zhou's house a few days ago and mentioned this matter accidentally."
Feeling that the pressure around him was slightly reduced, he felt relieved, but he couldn't help feeling depressed and curious.
Obviously they are both at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, so why is there such a big difference?
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and finally asked, "When will the Tao discussion be held?"
The middle-aged male cultivator's eyes lit up, "In three days, it will be held on Yanzhou Ancestral Island. If the fairy is interested, he can use this jade token to enter the Ancestral Island and participate in the Dao Discussion Meeting.
In addition to discussions on Taoism, a small auction will be held on the island, and you can also enter with this jade token."
Xu Chunniang glanced at the red jade token in the opponent's hand and took it.
The middle-aged male cultivator felt relieved, and after being reminded of the rules of the Taoism Forum, he left wisely.
Xu Chunniang put away her token, drew a formation, and stepped into the courtyard.
The Taoist Forum will be held in three days, and she has to rest for the next two days, so she will go to find out if there is any definite news about Ximing and Kunlun.
If the Zhu family really wanted to recruit them, they would simply refuse them when the time came.
In the past few months, her reputation has grown rapidly, and more and more aristocratic families have offered her olive branches. Xu Chunniang avoided them whenever she could, and rejected those who couldn't.
Compared to those aristocratic families, the Zhu family was just more powerful. The human race was at war with the sea monsters, and it was the time to hire people. The Zhu family was the number one family in Yanzhou, so they would not embarrass her because of this matter.
Xu Chunniang calmed down a little and went back to her room to start repairing the formation plate.
Three days later, Xu Chunniang walked towards the teleportation hall with Xiao Juzi and Xiao Bai, receiving countless looks along the way.
The iconic orange-striped tiger beast, as well as the white mouse lying lazily on the tiger's back, made the surrounding monks instantly identify Xu Chunniang's identity, and their expressions were full of respect and envy.
"The tiger beast at the third level of the golden elixir, and the snow-white rat beast at the foundation stage, she is... Fairy Miaofa!"
"Fairy Miaofa entered the merit list in just two or three months, but she has made great progress all the way, from ten thousand to one thousand, and I don't know how many people's jaws dropped!"
"Fairy Miaofa has always kept a low profile. It seems that the direction he is going is towards the Teleportation Hall. Could it be that he has taken on another meritorious mission? However, the sea monsters seem to have stopped a lot recently."
"Have you forgotten what day today is? The Zhu family of Yanzhou's ancestral island has set up a Taoist seminar on the island and invites all the monks on the merit list to participate. I guess Fairy Miaofa's trip is to go to the ancestral island to participate in the Taoist seminar.
Will do."
There was even more envy on everyone's faces. Ancestral Island is the foundation of all islands and has a transcendent status. Not everyone can go there at will.
In addition to the Yuanying monks, only monks recognized by the Zhu family can set foot in it.
In their view, it is a great honor to be invited to the ancestral island.
Facing the envious looks of others, Xu Chunniang stepped into the teleportation hall and showed the red jade token in her hand.
