"This..., forget it, junior brother will always know in the future, let me tell you a little bit first." After Li Zong hesitated for a while, he did not refuse.
"This sect has always had a small competition every year, and a trial every three years. The small competition is a matter for each branch. It is just to roughly test the disciples' cultivation and mastery of spells and secrets, and then make decisions based on the situation.
There are elders who will award certain rewards. Although this kind of competition does not have many benefits, it is generally amicable. As for the three-year competition, it is completely different. It is a real competition that all spiritual disciples in the entire sect must participate in.
One hundred core disciples of the entire sect will be selected, and their names will be imprinted on the Taiyin Monument in the sect for all disciples to look up to. More importantly, these core disciples will be specially trained by the sect in the next three years.
The higher the ranking, the more rewards you can receive. Of course, the results of the comprehensive competition will directly determine how much resources each branch can occupy in the sect in the future. Even the spiritual masters will pay attention to the competition.
Absolutely. As far as I know, the Jiuying lineage has been at the bottom of the competition for more than ten years in a row. As a result, the sect resources that you Jiuying has obtained have naturally been the least, but the more this happens, the less
The harder it is to stand up. And although this competition is presided over by a spiritual master, the real battle between spiritual disciples is so vicious. It is common for people to miss and hurt others during the competition, or even kill their opponents by mistake.
.So this great competition is about life and death, and some people call it the 'Blood Challenge'." Li Zong said many words in one breath, and Liu Ming nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"Well, Xiao Bi, what I know about Da Jie is pretty much the same as what I know about it. But what about the life and death trial? This little brother only hears people mention his name occasionally." Liu Ming asked again.
"The trial of life and death only involves our Barbarian Ghost Sect. It is a trial jointly held by the five major sects of the Daxuan Kingdom. It also determines the strength of the sects and ultimately determines the status of each sect in the Daxuan Kingdom.
A kind of competition for ranking. Therefore, the cruelty and fierceness of this trial are far beyond what we and other disciples imagined. If someone is injured or killed in the competition, it only happens occasionally. Then in the trial of life and death, how can the disciples of various sects survive?
Those who come back, but often less than half, are truly on the line of life and death. Over the past hundreds of years, our sect has always performed poorly in life and death trials, often ranking last." Li Zong said with a sigh.
"This trial of life and death is so dangerous. How are the disciples selected to participate in the competition? Most disciples will not be willing to take the initiative to participate." Liu Ming couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.
"Hehe, even though this life-and-death trial is extremely dangerous, as long as you can come back alive, the benefits you can get are so great that you and I can't imagine. As far as I know, most of the masters and uncles from all branches are
Disciples who had witnessed the trial of life and death back then. Therefore, even if ordinary disciples want to participate, they are not qualified. Those who can participate in this trial can only be the top ten core disciples on the Taiyin Monument. And as long as they can get the top ten
Position, any disciple will soar to the sky, and in the remaining one year, he will receive the best training from the sect at all costs, so as to strive for greater benefits for the entire sect in Daxuan Kingdom." Li Zong replied without thinking.
road.
"That's it. Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for your advice." After Liu Ming heard this, he thought for a moment and immediately thanked him sincerely.
"Haha, it's nothing. I also hit it off very well with my junior brother. By the way, when you go to take over the sect's routine tasks later, if you want to pick a better task, you might as well report my name to me and give it to me secretly.
Assigning tasks to the deacon is a little beneficial, and he will be able to fulfill his wish when the time comes." After Li Zong laughed, he winked at him again, which was quite humorous.
Liu Ming smiled, thanked "Senior Brother Li" again, and joined the long queue without stopping.
At this time, people were coming in and out of the hall on the first floor from time to time. The team was moving very fast, and soon it was Liu Ming's turn.
In front of him was a slightly bald middle-aged man wearing deacon's attire.
But Liu Ming didn't have any spiritual stones to bribe the deacon in front of him, so he naturally wouldn't mention Li Zong's name. He just handed over the nameplate that he had prepared and said honestly:
"I am a new disciple, here to lead the sect's routine tasks."
"Oh, it turns out you are the new junior brother. Let me see what other tasks I can do now." The bald deacon acted very kindly. After taking the nameplate, he immediately began to quickly read a thick book next to him.
"The only two options suitable for new disciples now are wood cutting at Tianzhu Peak and farming at Nanling Valley. I wonder which one would you like to choose?" The bald deacon paused for a moment before raising his head and asking.
"What, cutting firewood and farming?" Liu Ming almost thought he heard it wrong.
In his opinion, this so-called sect mission should probably be a mission such as standing guard or patrolling the mountains. How could it be connected with the two things he heard?
"I know that junior brother is a little confused, but after accepting the mission, you will naturally know what is going on." The bald deacon was not surprised by this, but said with a hint of mystery on his face.
"Then choose farming." Liu Ming was still full of doubts, but he could only forcefully choose one of them.
Anyway, he once planted half an acre of cereals in a place like Ji Island.
"The routine tasks of farming must be completed within three days, otherwise it will be considered a failure."
Upon hearing this, the bald deacon picked up the nameplate, pressed it down somewhere on the book, and spoke with unusual proficiency.
After Liu Ming took the nameplate and left the team confused, he remembered that he didn't know where the so-called Nanling Valley was.
He wanted to go back and ask the deacon, but saw that another disciple had already stood in front of him, and the whole queue had grown longer. He couldn't help but shook his head.
But when he turned his eyes and suddenly saw Li Zong still staying near the gate, his eyes lit up and he walked over.
"Junior Brother Bai, which routine task have you received? Don't feed the spirit beasts, that is the most troublesome task!" When Li Zong saw Liu Ming coming over, he immediately took the initiative to say hello.
"Senior Brother Li, it's great that you haven't left yet. What I've been given is not to feed the spirit beasts, but to farm. But I don't know where the Nanling Valley is where the farming is."
"Farming! Well, this task is not very good, but it is not very bad either. How about Nanling Valley? I have a map of the sect that I drew in the early years. It is useless to keep it now, so I will just give it to you.
Give it to my junior brother." Li Zong thought for a moment, then took out a map drawn with animal skin from his body and threw it to Liu Ming.
"Thank you, senior brother. You're welcome. By the way, senior brother Li. What's going on in this kind of field? Since there is Bigu Pill here, does our sect still need ordinary food?" Liu Ming thought after receiving the map.
He was overjoyed, thanked him, and asked with some doubts.
"Hehe, when I first entered the sect and heard about the mission of this sect, I was just like you. Don't worry, once you get there, you will naturally understand what is going on, and maybe you can even fall into some problems.
It's good." Hearing this, Li Zong chuckled and did not answer his question directly.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming naturally found it hard to ask further, so he immediately thanked the other party again, then said goodbye and left.
As soon as he walked outside the door, he made a small cloud of gray with his hand and cast a spell, then flew away with his soaring spell.
Following the instructions on the map he had just obtained, Liu Ming drove the clouds and flew over several mountains in succession, finally landing in a small valley.
Not far in front of where he landed, there were acres of square fields, which amounted to more than a hundred acres.
Some people wearing the clothes of inner disciples were waving light silver hoes in the fields, as if they were busy doing something like ordinary farmers.
When Liu Ming was looking at it in confusion, suddenly a light cough came from behind him.
Although the sound was not loud, there was no warning in advance. Liu Ming was immediately frightened and turned around hurriedly.
I saw an old man with dark skin appearing behind him at some point. He was slightly bowed and holding a burnt yellow tobacco stick in his hand. He looked at him up and down expressionlessly.
"New disciple!"
"Yes, senior?"
Although the other party was inconspicuous, for some reason it gave Liu Ming an indescribable sense of depression, causing him to involuntarily call himself a junior.
"Hmph, how could those guys in the Deacon Hall send a novice like you here and treat my place like this? Forget it, you take this thing and be responsible for one of them like them. It must be done within three days.
I am responsible for hoeing the field for me, digging it into the soil half a foot deep, and there is not a single weed. If you can't finish it, get out of here immediately, and don't let me see you here again in the future." The old farmer said coldly, and raised the soil with one hand.
After touching it at his waist, he somehow took out a hoe made of high silver and threw it in front of Liu Ming.
This scene made Liu Ming stunned.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go to work? This is a storage charm. You can't use it unless you are a spiritual master or above." After the old farmer said something impatiently, he turned around and walked away. What happened?
After taking a step, a black cloud appeared under him and flew away into a dense forest nearby.
"Storage Talisman"
At this time, Liu Ming still didn't know that the other party was really a spiritual master. He immediately murmured a few times, leaned over and took the silver hoe on the ground in his hand, and walked towards a nearby deserted field without daring to be careless.
This acre of land may not seem big, but it is covered with weeds that are over a foot tall, almost crowding every inch of the field.
After Liu Ming moved his hands and feet for a while, he raised the hoe with both hands and dropped it hard.
