According to the usual practice, after the disciples of the Qingyun Sect reach the fourth level of Yuqing's object-repelling realm, if their master does not reward them with flying magic weapons, they must go out to find materials to forge them.
There were several more cultivators in the Expelling Realm at Dazhu Peak, so naturally they had to consider the issue of the magical weapons in their hands.
The magic weapon has a huge effect on increasing the combat power of the monks, and is also the basis for flying in the air, so it is naturally very important and indispensable.
Qingyun Sect Because of the ancient sword of Zhu Xian, most of the disciples choose sword-shaped magic weapons. It is not an exaggeration to say that Qingyun Sect is Qingyun Sword Sect.
Recently, the first field of Dazhu Peak has been giving me a headache.
Logically speaking, it is a good thing that the cultivation level of his disciples has improved, but the sudden appearance of four or five disciples who need to go out to find materials to sacrifice and refine magic weapons gives them a headache.
Mainly, I am still worried about the safety of my disciples after they leave the mountain.
Three or two old disciples like Du Bishu are nothing. Anyway, they are not young. They would have grown up if they had been outside for decades. Even if they have little experience in walking outside, as long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter powerful demonic monks,
The basic problem is not big.
But Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were too young, one was eleven and the other twelve, and Tian Buyi had no brain problems. It was too risky to allow such young disciples to go out to practice.
"Since it's not safe, don't go out!"
Lei Hu was very speechless. While having a group meal in Shoujing Hall, he asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, is it really good for disciples who have reached the Expelling Object Realm to refine magic weapons themselves?"
"What do you mean by this?"
Tian Buyi said dissatisfied: "This is a rule passed down from our ancestors!"
"I don't think it's necessary. It feels like a waste of good materials!"
Lei Hu, however, didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It's better to practice with ordinary materials under the guidance of the teacher. When you become stronger and become more proficient in refining magical weapons, the magical weapons you create will be better?"
In other words, he is very puzzled by this rule of Qingyun Sect.
The mere cultivators of the Expulsion Realm are nothing at all. The magical weapons they refine are quite ordinary, and as Lei Hu said, they are a complete waste of precious materials.
In the original work, Du Bishu's dice magic weapon is the most unique, and the refining materials used are quite good according to Du Bishu. However, his dice magic weapon did not have much effect in the end.
With Du Bishu's cultivation level at that time when he had just entered the realm of expelling objects, no matter how good the materials were, what quality of magic weapon could he refine?
If you follow what Lei Hu said, you should not rush to refine the magic weapon first, but practice with ordinary materials while improving your cultivation. After your cultivation reaches the sixth or seventh level of the Jade Clear Realm, you can then use precious materials to refine the magic weapon.
The weapon, whether it is the refining technique or the power of the magic weapon, will be completely different.
Even if it is not comparable to those famous magic weapons, at least it will perform well when fighting with monks of the same generation, instead of being as indifferent as the original work.
More importantly, if all Qingyun Sect disciples are treated the same way, then no matter how crude the magic weapon refined by the disciple is, it is at least a comfortable use of his own hard work.
But the problem is that some disciples are very popular with their elders, and they are often rewarded with high-level magic weapons or even magic weapons before they even start their apprenticeship. Unlike ordinary disciples who have to refine crude and low-grade magic weapons by themselves, it is simply unfair treatment.
How come some disciples can get good things at the level of magic weapons, while other disciples can work hard to refine junk magic weapons that are not powerful enough?
At present, the Qingyun Sect is so popular that all internal conflicts should be hidden under the bright surface. However, once the Qingyun Sect declines, such internal conflicts will inevitably break out.
Lei Hu was not polite at all. He mentioned these considerations casually, and finally said with a smile: "I think it is best to start refining magic weapons from the sixth level of Yuqing Realm. Master and Master, what do you think?"
The atmosphere in the dining hall suddenly became very quiet.
Tian Buyi and Suru looked at each other, how could they imagine that the problem Lei Hu mentioned did exist, and they didn't believe it if no one had any complaints.
Of course, the one who should have a headache about this matter is the head Daoxuan. The discussion at this time is whether the tradition of Dazhu Peak should be continued.
Tian Buyi was very patient with Lei Hu and did not get angry as some of his disciples thought, although Lei Hu's "alarmism" made him unhappy.
"This is a move made by the ancestors of the sect after considering the experience and growth of the disciples!"
He asked directly: "If you don't have experience and practice, if you encounter a demonic traitor in the future, you won't be able to fight back!"
"yes!"
Suru also smiled and explained: "It's not easy to grow without seeing and experiencing things outside. After all, Qingyun Sect is too comfortable!"
"I still don't think there's any need to be so anxious!"
Lei Hu smiled and said: "To be honest, the fourth level of Yuqing's object-repelling realm is enough to deal with people in the world. If you really encounter a troublesome demon monk, you may not be able to escape, right?"
To be honest, it was hard for him to understand that Qingyun Sect, the largest sect in the righteous way, would care for its disciples. Even Jianghu sects would not be so careless.
I really think that the Qingyun Sect’s signboard can cover everything. If you are deliberately targeting it, as long as you keep an eye on the activities of the Qingyun Sect’s disciples who have gone down the mountain to train, you will definitely cause the Qingyun Sect to suffer heavy losses and greatly damage their vitality.
"Isn't it easy to practice?"
Seeing what Master Tian Buyi wanted to say, Lei Hu quickly smiled and said: "Master and Mistress have rich experience and are very familiar with things in the practice world. Let's first summarize the situations that we are likely to encounter when walking outside!"
When he said this, he said with evil intentions: "In order to deepen the memories of your junior fellow apprentices, master and master can invite familiar disciples to set up a trap together, so that your junior fellow apprentices can have a good experience in the sect!"
This idea is really destructive!
Tian Buyi said angrily: "They are all familiar faces, how to operate?"
"Is it possible that there are more than 2,000 members of the Qingyun Sect, and Junior Brother Du and the others don't know each other?"
Lei Hu said disapprovingly: "If it doesn't work, why don't you ask ordinary people outside for help? It's just a preparatory measure. There is no harm in whether it succeeds or not!"
"What you said is quite good!"
Tian Buyi became interested and muttered: "It's just that inviting ordinary people from outside to enter the Qingyun Gate, isn't it a good idea?"
"Master, I have a doubt that I have been keeping in my heart!"
Lei Hu changed the topic and asked: "Isn't Heyang City outside the mountain under the direct jurisdiction of our Qingyun Sect?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tian Buyi rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied: "Qingyunmen is the righteous leader of the spiritual world, how can it be possible to interfere in the city management of ordinary people?"
Damn!
Lei Hu's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were roaring by.
No wonder he always feels that there is something wrong with the organizational structure of Qingyun Sect. Now he understands that Qingyun Sect regards itself as a purely spiritual sect and wants to break away from ordinary people.
But, is it really possible to escape?
For example, in Caomiao Village, where Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were born, their main livelihood was cutting firewood, collecting herbs, and trading with members of the Qingyun Sect.
It's just that this kind of communication is too primitive and too rough. According to the general design of the fairy novels Lei Hu has read, a big spiritual sect like Qingyun Sect must have controlled a large tract of secular territory as nourishment.
The spiritual sects act as a protective umbrella for the secular forces, while the secular forces provide a steady stream of resources, including people and materials, to the spiritual sects.
Among the novels about cultivating immortals that Lei Hu has read in modern times, this kind of power is the most perfect.
However, the organizational structure of Qingyun Sect completely ignored the importance of secular power and territory.
Without loyal and reliable secular forces providing an endless supply of manpower and materials, it would be very difficult for a spiritual sect to fully develop and prosper.
"Master, without the support of secular power and territory, how can Qingyun Sect recruit disciples?"
Lei Hu looked curious and asked directly: "Without secular power as the basis, wouldn't all trivial matters have to be handled by the Qingyun Sect disciples themselves?"
In other words, there are only a few people in the Dazhu Peak lineage, so it's okay to just do it yourself to get enough food and clothing, but it won't work if you switch to Tongtian Peak and Longshou Peak where there are many disciples. You must have disciples who specialize in complex chores, otherwise it will be impossible.
Because dealing with daily chores seriously slows down the progress of cultivation.
"Boy, doing chores is also a kind of spiritual practice!"
Tian Buyi said dissatisfied: "A small part of the Qingyun Sect's chief disciples are descendants of the bloodline of the disciples in the sect, and most of them are disciples who were accepted during their travels!"
have to!
No wonder the Qingyun Sect declined rapidly in the late Zhuxian period. Without a sufficient population base to serve as a foundation, it was not easy to recruit disciples with satisfactory qualifications and backgrounds.
Besides, if you just want to take away a child with empty words, ordinary parents may not agree, even if the monks show off their magical powers, it will be useless.
"Forget it, don't talk about this!"
Lei Hu waved his hand and said helplessly: "Junior Brother Du and the others have just broken through to the Expelling Object Realm. There is no need to be too eager to let them go out to practice. If you want to improve your combat skills, it is easy. You can just join forces with other disciples from other lines to exchange ideas!"
"Don't worry about the other disciples not contributing. For example, regarding our relationship with Longshou Peak, if we invite disciples from Longshou Peak to discuss, neither Junior Brother Du nor the other party will give in!"
snort!
Hearing this, Tian Buyi snorted coldly, with a very ugly expression on his face, and said disdainfully: "Longshou Peak disciple, it's no big deal!"
Although I said this, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that Tian Buyi had some confidence not to rent.
"Thunder Tiger's attention is good!"
Master Suru hurriedly interjected and said with a smile: "We will take the initiative to find other disciples of several lines to compete and learn from each other. We will write down the details so that they can get enough combat training!"
"Then which lineage of disciples do you think is better?"
Facing his wife, Tian Buyi's expression softened and he asked directly: "Don't mention Longshou Peak, I'll be angry!"
"Then Xiaozhufeng's lineage will be fine!"
Suru suggested: "I heard that there is a great genius in Xiaozhufeng!"
When he said this, he looked at Lei Hu subconsciously, with a little bit of teasing...
