When Niu Xiaosheng held three sticks of fragrance and worshiped the statue of the ancestor along with the people around him, he suddenly felt as if there was a pair of eyes watching him in the dark. This gaze was ethereal and traceless, but it was real.
existence, and the fragrance in the hand began to burn faster, and the white smoke rose straight up and merged into the clouds on the roof of the Grandmaster's Hall.
When the fragrance in everyone's hands burns out, the ceremony ends, and the next step is to select people from the five peaks.
"Master, why are you here?"
Seeing Chen Pan appear, Niu Xiaosheng walked over quickly.
"Elder brother asked me to come over and select people for Longhu Peak."
Chen Pan showed a wry smile. This was definitely not a good job. After all, it related to the freshman competition in half a year and the allocation of resources for the next five years. If you do it well, it is your duty. If you don't do it well, you will definitely be blamed.
"Okay, now that everyone from each peak is here, let's get started. According to the ranking of each peak in previous years, five people will be selected first for the main peak."
The representative of the main peak was a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe. He came out and read out five names. People whose names were read came out one after another and walked up to the man with excitement on their faces.
Niu Xiaosheng immediately recognized that these five people were all people with superior qualifications or understanding in the third level, or both.
"That's too much. You selected the five best young people at once and didn't even leave any of them for us?"
A burly man with a curly beard muttered in a low voice, but his voice was still clearly heard by everyone present.
Only the man in Taoist robes on the main peak seemed not to have heard. With a smile on his face, he led five disciples to the side, followed by the second-ranked Yuhua Peak. This was a beautiful woman wearing a palace skirt, with her clothes wrapped around her shoulders.
The delicate collarbone can hold two eggs, and her smile is charming and makes people's hearts flutter.
The woman's eyes swept over the five people and waved to them. The five people immediately drifted over uncontrollably.
Next is Qingniu Peak, which ranks third. Speaking of Qingniu Peak and Niu Xiaosheng, there is some connection between them. Huo Lei and others who were responsible for escorting the caravan in Youzhou that day were all disciples of Qingniu Peak.
At this time, the person who came out to select people was Huo Yuan, the elder of the Huo family in Qingniu Peak.
"I don't know how Qingniu Peak will deal with the disappearance of Huo Lei and others. I have to find an opportunity to find out."
Niu Xiaosheng lowered his head and thought, and the figures of several women appeared in his mind.
After completing the selection at Qingniu Peak, we arrived at Longhu Peak. Although it was not at the bottom, it was almost there. After all, the qualifications of today's new batch of disciples were generally lower than those in previous years, and the first three peaks selected the better ones among them.
After leaving, naturally the only things left behind are ordinary items.
Chen Pan looked at the crowd several times and finally selected five people, including Niu Wanwan and the Daya sisters, while Liu Sheng, Lu Qing, Yang Xiaoxin and Gao Miaomiao had all been selected.
Among them, Liu Sheng entered the main peak, Jinding Peak, because his qualifications and understanding were both superior, Lu Qing and Gao Miaomiao entered Yuhua Peak, and Yang Xiaoxin entered Qingniu Peak.
It can be said that these children from Heishui County have almost taken up all the spiritual energy there, and their qualifications are very good.
The last person to choose was Zixia Peak, which was at the bottom of the five peaks. Perhaps out of a mentality of showing off, Zixia Peak only sent one disciple of an elder to choose people, and that disciple also randomly selected five people and then withdrew.
The remaining people who are not selected by the Five Peaks will be arranged to practice in the outer hall, which is equivalent to the outer disciples. The skills and resources they practice cannot be compared with those of the Five Peaks disciples, and they are also responsible for tedious sundries.
Among the 80,000 disciples of Dao First Palace, two-thirds are actually outer hall disciples. These disciples are scattered within the five peaks and are responsible for various tasks, such as planting elixirs, raising spirit beasts in captivity, and stationing outside, etc.
Of course, this does not mean that they will never be able to become disciples of Wufeng. As long as they pass the assessment set by Wufeng, they can become disciples of Wufeng, but this is definitely not an easy task.
"Little Sage, I plan to stay in seclusion for a while to learn the techniques. I will leave it to you to choose someone tomorrow."
On the way back, Chen Pan said to Niu Xiaosheng.
He had just become a martial arts sect and needed to re-select martial arts to practice and improve his strength. He really didn't have any extra time to waste on such things. In fact, if his senior brother hadn't told him, he would not have accepted such a task at all.
"Yes, Master."
Niu Xiaosheng responded.
"Don't be burdened. The result won't be too bad anyway. It will be beneficial to you."
Chen Pan continued.
Those who are selected into Longhu Peak do not need to go to the outer hall, and will naturally feel grateful to Niu Xiaosheng who selected them.
Returning to Longhu Peak, Chen Pan jumped into the air and left. Niu Xiaosheng asked his eldest sister to take the eldest sisters back to his courtyard first, while he took the two new disciples to his residence.
At the beginning of the creation of Dao Yi Palace, the Patriarch used his great supernatural power to gather thirty-six earth veins of all sizes in the entire mountain range into the five peaks, and used a large formation to lock the vitality emitted by these earth veins, thus creating a good environment inside the mountain gate.
The training environment.
Dragon Tiger Peak contains one large earth vein, two medium-sized earth veins and three small earth veins. These six earth veins nourish the life of the entire Dragon Tiger Peak.
Depending on the location within the peak, the living environment is also different. As new disciples who have entered the peak, their living place is only slightly better than the people in the outer hall. They will not have a house with a small earth line like Niu Xiaosheng. There are even some in the garden.
There is also a small exclusive spiritual field.
Seeing Niu Wanwan leaving from another stone path with the two girls, the two looked at each other behind Niu Xiaosheng. The young man who was about fourteen or fifteen years old raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what you call me, senior brother?"
"My name is Niu Xiaosheng."
Niu Xiaosheng didn't put on airs and said politely.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Niu. I hope that Senior Brother will take good care of you in the future."
As he said that, the young man took out a brocade box from the package and handed it to Niu Xiaosheng, "These are some specialties brought by my junior brother from home. They are not valuable. Please accept them with a smile from my senior brother."
Niu Xiaosheng remembered that this young man's name was Zhou Xingyun. Judging from his temperament, he was obviously a member of a noble family. Not only did he appear to be very sophisticated in his conversation, but he was also very polite.
In comparison, the other person looked much more immature. When he saw Zhou Xingyun giving the gift, his face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, his eyes flickered, and he finally looked at his toes.
Niu Xiaosheng waved his hand, "We are all from the same sect, so there is no need for souvenirs. I will take you to where you live first."
After saying that, he led the way.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xingyun's face froze slightly, then he glared at the man next to him and chased after him with the brocade box.
