In the past hundred years, the Emei Sword Sect has grown stronger and stronger.
Although it is far from being comparable to Western Buddhism, it is no less than the number of disciples recruited by many powerful monasteries.
At this time, Mount Emei is no longer as deserted as before. Between the peaks shrouded in spiritual mist, you can see a few sword lights streaking through the void from time to time. They are some disciples flying with swords.
Nowadays, Qi Yuan can be regarded as the veritable ancestor of the sect, with three thousand disciples and seventy-two who have mastered the art of swordsmanship.
Of course, these were words he showed off when he was drinking with Master Gao Yan, and the specific number of people was certainly not these.
The most important reason why he was able to recruit so many talented disciples in a mere hundred years is that more and more gods under the Kitchen God Division are stationed in all parts of the lower world. These gods are Qi Yuan
Observing the conditions of children in ordinary people's homes, one can naturally easily recruit many outstanding disciples.
Although these gods' not very good eyesight will definitely miss a large part of the talented people, Qi Yuan has never thought about catching all the talented people in the world, so he doesn't care much about it.
The Emei Sword Sect receives thirty or forty disciples every year. Over the years, the number has actually exceeded three thousand.
It's just that the outer sect controls the situation and filters out some disciples who are not suitable to enter the inner sect to receive the inheritance of swordsmanship, so there are really only about 3,000 inner sect disciples.
Among these disciples, there are high and low levels of cultivation, and there are fast and slow progress. Disciples like Duan Lei who worshiped him earlier have already reached the peak of practice, and have understood their own swordsmanship. They only have to accumulate perfection.
, you can overcome the calamity and become an immortal.
Guo Xiaoshan, who was brought back by Qi Yuan at the same time as Duan Lei, spent hundreds of years just realizing the way of swordsmanship.
This speed is decades slower than Duan Lei.
However, compared to the outside world, compared with most Qi practitioners, it can still be regarded as rapid progress.
The main reason is that Qi Yuan secretly gave this simple and honest disciple a little help. Otherwise, given his temperament, it may take hundreds of years for him to cultivate to the present level.
Although it was only a short time for Guo Xiaoshan to understand the way of swordsmanship, his progress speed increased immediately after he realized it.
This kid's foundation is too solid. The heavy sword in his hand has also been cultivated by his hundreds of years of true energy. It has truly taken the shape of a sword, but it still looks like a sword embryo.
However, there is an aura as thick as a mountain, which makes people dare not underestimate it.
If he could use the power of the Tribulation Thunder to re-temper this heavy sword when he was overcoming the tribulation, he would not only be able to reshape the sword, but also refine it into a spiritual treasure in one fell swoop. This would be his chance.
Among the remaining disciples, there are dozens of people who have understood the way of swordsmanship, hundreds of people who have practiced to the realm of refining the void, and the vast majority of disciples who are in the realm of transformation into gods.
This still does not include Qi Yi, Deng Chanyu and others.
Because they have all become immortals, including Li Yingqi and He Linger, Qi Yuan has now trained four sword immortals.
The reason why the rest of the disciples, such as Duan Lei who have understood the way of swordsmanship, have not yet become immortals is because Qi Yuan wants them to accumulate for a longer period of time, and it is also because he has reduced the resources to cultivate them.
If Qi Yi and the others were trained according to the original training method and provided with a large amount of cultivation resources, many of these disciples would definitely become immortals.
However, Qi Yuan now has too many disciples, and he can no longer provide unlimited supply of their disciples' needs. In order to take care of more disciples, and to keep the flow of water flowing smoothly, Qi Yuan learned to plan carefully and follow the cultivation progress and Taoist behavior of his disciples.
Practice to allocate some resources.
If you feel that the resources are not enough and you want to get more things, then you need to rely on merit in exchange.
There are many ways to gain merit.
You can choose to do tasks within the sect, such as helping to teach new disciples, taking care of the elixir garden, refining flying swords and elixirs, learning spiritual cooking skills, cooking spiritual meals for other disciples to eat, etc.
You can gain some merits and then go to the Hall of Merit to exchange for practice resources.
As for outside the sect, it is even simpler. Whether it is elixirs picked during travels or other weapon refining materials, you can come back to exchange for merit.
However, the greatest contribution is to protect the common people of the human race and kill the monsters that cause harm to the world. If the physical bodies of these monsters can be brought back, it will be of greater use.
Demon elixirs can be used to refine elixirs, scales, armor, claws, fur and bones can be used to refine magic weapons and magical weapons, and flesh and blood can also be used to make spiritual meals.
In short, the Emei Sword Sect is a place where all resources can be used rationally. As long as the disciples are willing to work hard and make progress, they will not have to worry about earning training resources.
Among all the resources that can be redeemed by the Emei Sword Sect, the most popular among the disciples is the spiritual meal made by their master, Master Qi.
These spiritual meals are not only delicious, but also have various miraculous effects. Whether it is to increase mana, strengthen the body and enhance the power of the soul, they are all available, and their effects are far better than those made by the disciples of the Lingshan Hall.
Among them, the most popular dish among disciples is the Enlightenment Balls.
It’s not that there isn’t anything more effective than this spiritual meal, but this spiritual meal is most useful to these disciples who have not yet become immortals.
Enlightenment balls are minced with the meat of demon immortals and mixed with many precious elixirs. Qi Yuan also stripped some Tao charm from the bodies of demon immortals and blended them into the meatballs, so that disciples who have never been enlightened can feel the Tao charm.
Let them reduce the difficulty of enlightenment.
Those disciples who have already understood the way of swordsmanship can speed up their own enlightenment by eating it.
Moreover, these small meatballs taste delicious, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, full of meaty aroma, and extremely chewy. It can be said that you will feel refreshed after eating one, and your thoughts will be clear after eating two. If you eat three, it will be so delicious.
I want to be immortal and I can't stop.
Not only does it speed up their enlightenment a lot, but even the soul will be integrated into it with a warm force, enhancing the power of the soul. It is simply the best of spiritual food.
It's a pity that the ingredients required for this kind of enlightenment balls are too rare. Even the Emei Sword Sect has not killed a few demons and immortals in these years. Moreover, the merits required for this spiritual meal are not something that ordinary disciples can bear.
.
Therefore, although all the disciples yearn for this spiritual meal, not many of them have actually eaten it.
Now, under the arrangement of Qi Yuan, the Emei Sword Sect, in addition to the swordsmanship techniques that every disciple must learn, there are also many disciples who have also practiced some other skills.
In addition to the common alchemy and weapon refining, there are also things such as cultivating elixirs, searching for spiritual veins and minerals, making spiritual talismans, studying sword formations, etc.
Of course, what is most sought after by disciples is learning the cooking method of Lingshan.
After all, their master is the head of the Heavenly Kitchen God Division and the head of the Kitchen Gods in the world. The entire spiritual meal system was created by the master. Of course, these disciples are honored.
It's just that there are not many people who are particularly talented in cooking and can devote a lot of energy to practicing cooking besides practicing. This makes the disciples of Lingshan Hall very valued within the sect, and
Their path to achievement is also easier.
Because there are many ways to obtain cultivation resources, the disciples of the Emei Sword Sect can cultivate very quickly.
Especially from the perspective of the entire sect, being able to train so many disciples to this point within a short period of a hundred years has surprised many gods who know the situation of the Emei Sword Sect.
If those disciples who have already understood the way of swordsmanship have accumulated enough skills to survive the catastrophe and achieve immortality, then the strength of the Emei Sword Sect will increase by leaps and bounds.
This makes the elders such as Jinling Holy Mother especially happy.
They had never thought that Qi Yuan could achieve this in just over a hundred years, which was far beyond their expectations.
However, some people are happy and some are worried.
As their current biggest competitor, the Yuqing lineage is not very happy.
Although they don't know the specific strength of the Emei Sword Sect, they have paid attention to Qi Yuan's Emei Sword Sect since Zhou Zhen, Huang Long's disciple, lost to Yang Chan's disciples a few years ago.
The reason why we focus on Qi Yuan is because on a windy and dark night decades ago, Qi Yuan dispelled the defensiveness of his little junior sister with some sweet words, and then someone took advantage of the opportunity.
After succeeding, he cooked the raw rice into cooked rice, and then naturally became a Taoist couple with his junior sister.
Although this incident made Yang Jian want to beat Qi Yuan into a pig's head when he saw him, the deal was already done and Yang Jian had no choice but to approve the marriage.
Over the years, Yang Chan spent most of her time practicing in Mount Emei, and her disciple Magu was also taught by her and Qi Yuan.
In less than a hundred years, Qi Yuan used a large amount of resources to forcibly upgrade the cultivation level given by Magu to the realm of immortals.
Of course, most of the resources used were obtained from the cave of Huanglong Master in Erxian Mountain. If Master Huanglong knew about this, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
After becoming an immortal, Magu is not as sharp as the Sword Immortal in terms of fighting skills, but her magic power is extremely tough and her ability to continue fighting can last for a long time.
Moreover, practicing in the Emei Sword Sect has never left her without the training of combat. Whether she is sparring with the disciples in the sect or traveling outside with her, she can gain a lot of combat experience.
In addition, Qi Yuan specially borrowed a lot of spiritual treasures for her to protect her. If she still loses like this, there will be nothing to say.
In fact, Master Huanglong also had this in mind. Over the years, he lived in Chi Jingjie's dojo and borrowed a lot of resources from his fellow Taoists to train his disciples into immortals.
And in order to avoid being unexpectedly visited by Magu, he borrowed several spiritual treasures from his apprentice early on, including not only the innate spiritual treasure Yin-Yang Mirror of Akari Seiko, but also the Fantian Seal of Guangchengzi.
Came over.
With these powerful spiritual treasures in hand, Master Huanglong believed that he had a 100% chance of winning. Zhou Yong was even more confident and vowed to take back his master's dojo.
As a result, when they saw Magu carrying the Lingbao Four Elephant Pagoda on her head, the plain Yunjie flag on her body, the Dragon and Tiger Ruyi in her hand, the lotus lantern hanging in front of her, and the Xiantian Yiqi Shang around her waist,
When I was clearing the talisman, I almost lost my breath.
That's it, Magu actually still has several innate spiritual treasures that haven't been revealed yet.
Under the protection of so many innate spiritual treasures, Magu easily won the battle, but it also made the Yuqing lineage completely focus on Qi Yuan.
They didn't expect Qi Yuan to be able to borrow so many innate spiritual treasures. It seemed that Qi Baimei's connections were far more powerful than they thought.
As a result, when their idea came to Qi Yuan, they discovered that the Emei Sword Sect had already developed a trend of prosperity.
It is even more prosperous than the many dojos in their Yuqing lineage put together.
After all, among the disciples they assigned to spread their branches, the largest number of disciples they had accepted in the past hundred years was only thirty or fifty. Compared with the thousands of disciples in Emei, it was simply incomparable.
