As soon as Li Ping'an received the order of being a master, a patrolling disciple came to knock on the door and conveyed the order of Miaoyun Palace.
——He is a qualified inner disciple and must participate in this competition.
Li Ping'an stuffed two spirit stones into the mountain patrol disciples and asked some basic information about the competition.
Although most of the disciples who patrol the mountain are outside disciples, they are all well-informed people. They also know that Li Ping'an has a profound background, so they know everything and answer questions.
After a while, Li Pingan slumped back on the recliner and felt worried for a while.
Disciples are the future of the sect, they are the Golden Crow Corpse of Chenshi in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World. Those who can be selected into the inner sect of Wanyun Sect to follow the immortals to practice are all human Huaguduo with excellent qualifications.
In short, the most inferior among the inner disciples are the proud ones at the village and town level.
——The disciple who fought with him and Mu Ningning back then was not included in this list. The other party was more like a handyman disciple in Yaochen Peak.
If calculated based on the number of Liuyunguan disciples selected into the inner sect, less than a hundred disciples have joined the inner sect in the past twenty years.
But in fact, there are more than two hundred inner disciples who are going to participate in this competition, and half of them are fairy boys and young men who were found by the Immortal Wan Yun Sect during his travels, so they directly avoided Liuyun Temple.
These two hundred or so people have different levels of cultivation.
Among the fairy seedlings cultivated in each peak, there are many who have entered the Void Refining Realm after practicing for more than ten years, and a very small number of them can reach the early stage of the Hezhen Realm;
Disciples who have been initiated for less than ten years are not below the Ningguang realm, and most of them are in the late Ningguang stage.
Li Ping'an and Mu Ningning are the disciples who have the shortest time to get started.
In response to this situation, the sect has actually considered that the competition will be divided into three rankings of heaven, earth and people. Those who have been in the game for more than ten years will participate in the competition on the heaven list, those who have been in the game for less than ten years and more than five years will participate in the earth ranking test, and those who have been in the game for less than five years will participate in the competition.
People list competition.
The top three on the human list can participate in the local ranking competition, and the top ten on the local ranking can enter the sky ranking.
'The priest girl is very ambitious and has a strong temper. If she doesn't get into the top three this time, I'm afraid it will affect her Taoism.'
Li Pingan thought like this, and unconsciously thought more about Mu Ningning.
Furthermore, he has had too few fights in the past three years, which is also a hidden danger. He also needs to find a few suitable opponents to practice with.
As for Mu Ningning, Li Pingan has a way to ensure that she gets into the top three on the list.
While Li Ping'an was thinking, he suddenly noticed that the master's aura was approaching quickly.
He turned around and saw that his master had changed into a faded dress with a stand-up collar, and his long hair was simply tied into a ponytail.
The upper half of the long skirt is slim-fitting, wrapping up a woman's beautiful figure, while the lower half has a pleated skirt, and is paired with thin trousers made of cloud gauze texture.
This seems to be the fairyland disciple uniform inside the sect.
"Come with me," Qing Su said, "I'll teach you how to fight with others."
Li Ping'an stood up and followed Qing Su, feeling happy in his heart.
Now that he has a master, he no longer has to rely on himself to figure out everything.
…
Inside Wanyun Palace.
The head master picked up the teacup and took a sip.
During today's discussion, two of the three deputy heads came and were sitting on the stone chairs to the left and right of the head master.
Nine of the eighteen inner sect council elders came, also arranged on the left and right, ready to discuss how to proceed with this internal disciple competition.
The competition between new inner sect disciples takes place once every twenty years. This is a rare lively event within the sect, and it is also a rare major event that requires the headmaster to discuss with the inner sect elders.
The current head of Wanyun Sect has always maintained a middle-aged appearance, and his voice is quite gentle when he speaks, somewhat like a humble gentleman.
The leader smiled and said: "Will the elders come up with a charter for this competition among new disciples?"
"Hi!"
There were five big and three thick old immortals who raised their voices:
"What are the rules and regulations? What was done before, what should we do now!
"Set up an arena and let the disciples compete. Everyone just takes this opportunity to be lively and get together to drink and chat. How wonderful!"
"There is a problem this time."
There was an elder who acted rigorously and muttered a few times:
"Disciple of the Patriarch, Uncle Dazhi has only been a disciple for three to five years. Does he want to participate in this competition?"
Some elders couldn't help but laugh and said: "You asked Uncle Dazhi to go to the competition to bully the juniors? Uncle Dazhi is now a Yuanxian."
"Hiss—Uncle Dazhi's qualifications are so terrifying! It's only been three years, right?"
"Qualification is one thing, the teachings of the ancestor are more important. Of course, it also depends on his excellent qualifications and great luck."
"Speaking of this great fortune, the bottleneck of poor Taoists has been slightly loosened. If Uncle Dazhi can really bring about the fortune of all members of Wanyun Sect, then we all owe Master Uncle Dazhi a huge favor!"
"You can't say that. We are all members of the same family, so we don't owe anything... But Uncle Dazhi is really interesting. Pindao drinks and has fun with him, and he can always come up with all kinds of tricks."
"cough!"
Seeing that the elders had gone off topic, the leader cleared his throat and said with a smile:
"Elders, we have to set the rules for the competition today and discuss business matters first."
Deputy Head Mo Yi looked at a certain elder in the corner. The latter groaned a few times, with a thoughtful expression on his face, deliberately attracting the attention of the elders around him.
Then, the elder said slowly:
"Wouldn't it be against the rules of the sect if we don't allow Uncle Dazhi to participate in this competition? Could it be that Uncle Dazhi has a grudge?"
An elder from Tianxian smiled and said: "Uncle Dazhi doesn't like to fight with a group of young people, right?"
The elder said again: "Having said that, we should still invite Uncle Dazhi. In my humble opinion, it is better to set up a Hunyuan Ranking in addition to the three rankings of heaven, earth and people, and let the top ten in the heaven rankings
Or if the top five are to join the Hunyuan Ranking, Uncle Dazhi will be in this Hunyuan Ranking and play a game or two?"
The famous young-looking and fair-haired old immortal opened his eyes and scolded directly: "What nonsense! Let a group of juniors fight with their master? Junior Brother Bi! You can even think of it!"
The elder said again: "Senior brother, I am only acting according to the sect rules. Following the sect rules in everything is an order given by the three ancestors!"
After hearing this, the other immortal elders said nothing more.
Another deputy head said in a deep voice: "Let Junior Brother Dazhi compete with other disciples, it would be a disgrace to his status, and it might make Patriarch Kongming unhappy."
——In order to preserve the authority of the head, the head and deputy head collectively refer to Li Dazhi as ‘junior brother’. The Wanyun Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the actual seniority of the current head and deputy head is slightly lower than that of Li Dazhi.
"Hehehe," the leader smiled with narrowed eyes, "This matter is not difficult to handle."
All the immortals looked over.
The leader picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, and continued:
"What the elders think, one is that the new disciple Li Dazhi needs to participate in this competition, and the other is that the founder's disciple Li Dazhi's participation in the competition is disrespectful.
"Then let's unite our opinions.
"Junior Brother Dazhi will prepare for this competition, so he can be considered as participating in this competition.
"That's it, Fanshi Palace, Yangyun Palace, and Miaoyun Palace will fully assist Junior Brother Dazhi.
"This competition will be more lively, allowing the sects that our Wan Yun Sect has good relations with to have a look at our Wan Yun Sect's style.
"In that case, pass on the order from my head."
As soon as these words came out, all the elders knew what was going on.
Elder Bi in the corner looked increasingly ugly.
His original intention was to let Li Dazhi compete with other disciples in order to lose Li Dazhi's identity;
The leader was so powerful that he not only protected Li Dazhi, but also pulled him out to prepare for the competition, and even asked three of the six palaces to fully assist him.
"Head!"
Elder Bi stood up and said: "Although Master Dazhi is extremely talented, he has only been in the profession for three years and has always..."
The leader glanced over with a smile, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Have I asked the elders for their opinions?"
Elder Bi frowned tightly.
Deputy Sect Leader Mo Yi opened his eyes and said: "The Sect Leader's order has been issued and we must obey it."
Elder Bi cupped his hands, turned around and threw away his sleeves.
The headmaster sighed softly, patted Deputy Headmaster Mo Yi twice on the arm, and said warmly:
"Three years have passed. It is no longer possible to hide the fact that our Wan Yun Sect has acquired a disciple of Qi Lun. Many sects are talking about it. Now there is no need to hide it.
"Everyone, please be prepared.
"Great luck can bring opportunities, but it can also bring dangers. We, the Wanyun Sect, should unite as one to deal with possible disasters, so that we can enjoy the opportunity of prosperity."
All the elders stood up and bowed:
"Follow the master's orders."
…
An unnamed mountain top, near the cave of Master Qingsu and his apprentice.
Li Pingan stood in the clearing in the forest, with several fairy weapons suspended in front of him, including long swords, double knives, spears, and meteor hammers. These were all weapons that Li Pingan used more easily.
But Li Ping'an somewhat didn't understand the request made by his master just now.
‘Choose a weapon and use it as a natal magic weapon for sacrifice.’
Why do we have to use weapons in fighting?
Isn't the fighting routine of Qi Masters all about throwing magic weapons and weapons out to hit people?
He looked up at Master, who was standing on the treetop with his hands folded, and asked: "Master, do I have to choose?"
Qingsu asked back: "Don't you like fighting with others?"
"I can't say whether I like this or not," Li Ping'an said with a wry smile, "The purpose of practicing fighting skills is to protect one's own Taoism. Disciples know that, but...most fighting skills just use magic weapons, why use weapons?"
Qingsu blinked: "Then do you have a powerful magic weapon?"
Li Pingan glanced at the dozen or so fairy treasures hidden on his body.
The treasures that can attract the attention of immortals should at least be acquired spiritual treasures, or special immortal treasures. If these immortal treasures are given to Yuanxian, they are quite good for real immortals, but my master should not be interested in them.
Li Pingan said honestly: "No."
Qingsu raised her chin: "Choose a weapon."
"Hey, yes," Li Ping'an didn't dare to delay any longer. He thought about it carefully and took hold of the fairy treasure spear.
It makes sense for him to choose a long gun.
The first is that among all his immortal treasures, this spear is of the best quality;
The second is that I personally think that using a gun is the most handsome.
Qing Su's figure fell from the treetops, her hands were held empty, the fairy light flowed, and wisps of clouds and mist gathered into the shape of a fairy spear.
"Fight me with all your strength," Qing Su said, "I'll test your fighting skills."
"yes!"
Li Ping'an threw the spear in his hand into the air, raised his sword fingers with both hands, put his left hand behind his back, and stood in front of him with his right hand. The magic power around his body was like a river rushing, and the aura on his forehead flickered like a candlelight!
His sword finger rotated in front of his nose, and the spear in the air rotated with a "wuwuwu" sound. As he pointed forward, the spear shot towards Qingsu like an arrow.
There was a roaring sound in the forest!
Qingsu gathered her immortal power, controlled her strength, and the cloud gun spun rapidly from her palm.
The sword finger of Li Ping'an's left hand hidden behind his back shook slightly, and the immortal treasure spear was divided into five, and the shadows of the five spears were like a group of snakes dancing wildly.
Qing Su's figure rotates like a dance, with shadows of clouds and spears all over her body.
One attack and one defense, the two masters and disciples have already clashed!
Just after hearing a few bangs, the incoming gun figures were repelled, and Li Ping'an was shaken and leaned back.
Qing Su, with a figure as strong as the wind, approached Li Ping'an with a cloud gun in hand. She did not cast any magic spells or use any magical power. She was imitating the attack power of a Void Refiner and a Qi Refiner.
Li Ping'an took advantage of the situation and turned over backwards, tapping his toes lightly on the ground, his tied up long hair flowing slightly, and he made complicated handprints with both hands very quickly.
Peng!
Li Ping'an's figure actually turned into five, and at the same time, he held forward a virtual spear, and four spear shadows shot towards Qing Su's back.
Qingsu's eyes lit up.
She naturally recognized that what Li Ping'an was performing was the Immortal Technique of the Wan Yun Sect, "Cloud Transformation". This technique is extremely difficult to understand. If you practice it to the highest level, you can use the clouds and mist to cast three thousand clones.
At this moment, Li Ping'an's true body is hidden in these five shadows.
A gunshot came from behind, Qing Su jumped up to dodge;
The five "Li Ping'an" rushed forward, grabbed their spears, and chased Qing Su. They smashed, stabbed, picked, and chopped with different trajectories.
Qingsu's body turned back and forth, holding the gun in one hand to block all the incoming shadows.
She drew with the slender fingers of her left hand in the sky, and dozens of large characters of clouds and mist flew to the left and right. After hearing a few bangs and bangs, five phantoms exploded into clouds and mist at the same time.
These clouds and mist did not dissipate, but instead surrounded Qingsu from the front and back.
Qingsu subconsciously wanted to wave away these clouds;
But she remembered that she was competing with her disciples at this moment, so she only used a trace of strength when waving her hands, perfectly simulating the strength of a Qi Refiner in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.
The clouds and mist surged, becoming more and more numerous, and Li Ping'an's voice sounded from all directions:
"Master, you claim to be an immortal, so you didn't capture the disciple. Master, the disciple is about to take action."
"bring it on!"
Qing Su raised her head slightly, with a bit of expectation in her eyes, and added: "I won't hurt you."
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!
There was a loud roar in the forest, and gun shadows shot at Qingsu from all directions!
Qingsu glanced left and right, her cloud gun dancing wildly in her hand, and she tried to repel all the incoming gun figures.
After these gun shadows exploded, they would turn into new clouds. The clouds near Qingsu became thicker and thicker, and the gun whistles around him became louder and louder. There was no trace of Li Ping'an at all.
Every time the cloud gun collides with the gun shadow, it can shake the forest within a hundred feet;
Those gun shadows that are not sealed by Qingsu often explode into layers of smoke and dust when they hit the forest.
The two masters and disciples only had a brief battle of skills, and a forest was almost razed to the ground by their master and disciples.
If someone is fighting outside, they can see eight 'Li Ping'an' at this moment, walking through the clouds and mist with mysterious footwork, waving their spears and shooting out spear shadows, continuously suppressing Qing Su in the center of the clouds and mist.
At this moment, Qing Su felt a little emotional.
As an apprentice... I know a lot of things.
Formation, body skills, and immortal skills all merged together in his hands;
Such a spear array is so unpredictable that it would be difficult for a real Qi Refiner in the Void Refining Realm to deal with it.
that is……
"Too much mana is wasted, and there are still many flaws."
Qing Su said softly, and her figure flashed on the edge of the clouds and mist, making eye contact with a "Li Ping'an", and then struck out with a palm.
boom!
The phantom formed by the clouds and mist exploded, and a flash of green light flew out from it, transforming into Li Ping'an's true form.
Li Ping'an held his chest and took a few steps back. He felt that the master's force was extremely gentle. After it invaded his chest, it spread all over his body in the blink of an eye, making him feel quite comfortable.
Li Ping'an bowed solemnly: "Master, please give me some advice."
"I can't give you any guidance on your spear array."
Qingsu thought for a while:
"Apprentice, your methods are complicated, but they are integrated with each other. It's just that you consume too much mana and you are not good at fighting for a long time.
"What I can teach you now is how to fight the enemy for a long time and how to concentrate your own magic power.
"You don't have to belittle yourself. Just now, in order to break your spear formation, I used magic power comparable to that of a Hezhen Realm disciple."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Master, I have other methods of fighting. Do you want to continue using them?"
Qingsu waved to Li Pingan with great interest: "Come."
"Disciple is offended!"
Li Pingan swallowed a pill to adjust his condition to the best.
Tianxian being a sparring partner was a wonderful thing that he had never dreamed of before.
The two masters and apprentices are fighting again, and the suffering of the flowers and plants in the forest is far from over.
Two hours later.
On a white cloud outside the mountain.
Li Dazhi sighed quietly, with a sad look on his face and a wry smile on his face, carefully considering the words he would use when he spoke later.
