Ren Jingshan slowly spit out these four words from her rosy little mouth.
The expression is solemn.
Something that could make Sister Ren feel solemn would definitely not be a simple trip or a battle.
The four words "life and death are self-conceited" also explain two meanings of this trip.
The first meaning is that this trip is extremely dangerous.
The second meaning is that the sects participating in this resource battle may not have a good relationship with each other. The conflict that broke out was not like a "play" like a competition, but a real fight!
Xi Zhong frowned slightly and asked softly: "Master, can you tell me the details of this trip?"
When Ren Jingshan heard Xi Zhong's question, she knew that Xi Zhong was definitely going to attend.
But she didn't feel anything was wrong.
As a disciple, I am indeed qualified to participate in the competition for resources in this sect.
And it’s impossible not to engage in actual combat, otherwise it will be just a showpiece with empty cultivation.
After all, competition between sects cannot be brought to the fore. Only fighting can make people grow.
Only monks who grow up in battle can go further on the road.
Ren Jingshan then slowly explained to Xi Zhong the details of this battle for sect resources, and even introduced the origin and history of the "Black Flame Crystal Mountain" in detail.
This time the battle for resources in the Black Flame Crystal Mountains involves a total of seven sects participating, and these seven sects also include the Beast Control Sect.
The names of these seven sects are Tianzhenhai City, Yaowang Valley, Qingjian Sect, Yunhai Palace, Vast Vast Sect, Beast Control Sect, and Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.
Each of these seven sects will dispatch a chief disciple to lead the team, as well as three core old disciples, and ten new disciples.
These ten new disciples can be chosen by any sect. You can choose the top ones or the bottom ones.
Of course, even if you are all trash monks, people won't mind and will be happy instead.
Because this way they have fewer rivals competing for resources.
If there are fewer people eating a big pie, then each sect will naturally receive more resources on average.
Hearing this, Xi Zhong asked: "Then who does our sect plan to send to the Black Flame Crystal Mountains?"
Ren Jingshan thought for a while and said: "Originally, Zhao Yuanming was chosen as the chief disciple to lead the team. After all, Zhao Yuanming is stronger than Situ Yang. However, it is said that Zhao Yuanming is in retreat, preparing to attack the late stage of the Spiritual Void Realm, so he was chosen.
The candidate was changed to Situ Yang, the chief disciple who brought us into the sect in the first place. I am too lazy to remember the names of the next three core disciples, but I do remember a few names among the new disciples."
"They are Yuan Qiong, Su Nian, Wu Mei, Shi Jingtian, Lu Jie, and Wubeng. I am too lazy to remember the rest. These are all people who had contact with you during the assessment."
Xi Zhong was a little helpless.
Sister Ren, you... you really only remember those people who are related to Xi Zhong, and don't remember people who have nothing to do with Xi Zhong. You are too lazy to remember. This is too true.
Xi Zhong asked curiously: "Master, what is the final result of the fourth assessment?"
Ren Jingshan said softly: "I'm too lazy to look."
Xi Zhong: "..."
Sister Ren seems to have such a temperament, she never seems to pay attention to anything that has nothing to do with her.
Ren Jingshan then continued to explain the resources of the Black Flame Crystal Mountains.
Black Flame Crystal Mountain Range, as its name suggests, this mountain range is rich in something called "Black Flame Crystal".
Black Flame Crystal is a high-level material that can be used to refine jade stones and magic weapons.
The jade spirit stone is the most basic universal currency in the world of immortality.
To put it bluntly, this place is like something called a "mine" in Xi Zhong's previous life, so those sects are naturally unwilling to let such a place go.
Ren Jingshan paused for a moment, and then continued: "In the Black Flame Crystal Mountains, there is not only the Black Flame Crystal that is worthy of being snatched by the monk sect, but there is another thing that is even more precious, and that thing is called '
"Golden Flame Crystal" is a higher-grade thing than Black Flame Crystal. In addition to being needed to refine high-level magic weapons, this kind of Golden Flame Crystal can also be refined into a kind of "Golden Crystal Spiritual Stone".
Things, and the gold crystal spirit stone is also a kind of currency, but this kind of currency commonly used in the world of immortality is more precious than the jade spirit stone."
Xi Zhong nodded slowly, probably understanding the meaning.
It seems that if I want to make a lot of money during this trip, I have to pay attention to see if there are any golden flame crystals, and if there are any, try my best to grab them.
As the lowest-priced common currency in the world of immortality, the Jade Spirit Stone is so precious, so how precious is the Gold Crystal Spirit Stone, which is one level higher than the Jade Spirit Stone?
All in all, Black Flame Crystal is a good thing, but Golden Flame Crystal is an even better thing.
Ren Jingshan continued: "The black flame crystal and the golden flame crystal are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The rank determines the value of that thing. Anyway, as long as it is a disciple who has contributed during this trip and can come back alive.
, then you can get rewards from the sect."
"Whether the reward you receive is generous or not depends on how much you contribute in this battle."
Xi Zhong nodded slowly again.
This kind of experience seems to be the so-called "reward based on merit". Whoever contributes more will receive more rewards.
Xi Zhong suddenly seemed to remember something and suddenly asked: "Master, do you understand the relationship between the sects here? For example, which sect dislikes our sect more?"
Ren Jingshan blinked her beautiful and clear eyes, and then said: "The relationship between Zhentian Haicheng and our Beast Control Sect is not very good."
"Why?" Xi Zhong was curious.
Ren Jingshan said calmly: "Previously, all the sects gathered together to start a meeting, and then the elder in charge of Zhentianhai City came to talk to me. I thought he was agitated and directly injured him."
Xi Zhong: "..."
What else can be said besides a thumbs up?
This is Sister Ren.
Xi Zhong stood up immediately, and then said with a smile: "In that case, I will go find someone tomorrow to ask for the detailed information of this trip. Master, I am afraid that the information you have here is not comprehensive."
Ren Jingshan nodded, not angry, because she didn't care about these things in the first place. If Xi Zhong hadn't been nominated by the old examiner who presided over the third assessment this time, Ren Jingshan wouldn't have learned about the black flames.
Things about the Crystal Mountain Range.
Xi Zhong walked out of the room and was about to walk towards his room when he saw Xiao Ping'er wearing a nightgown sitting on the stone steps. The bright moonlight shone on Xiao Ping'er, making Xiao Ping'er look like a
Little fairy.
Xiao Ping'er, who is only thirteen years old, has grown suddenly in height after opening her spiritual roots. Although she looks like a little lolita because of her cute smiling face, if you only look at her delicate body that has gradually become slimmer from a distance, in fact,
She already looks like an ordinary girl of fifteen or sixteen in the secular world.
In the secular world, girls of that age are almost always ready to get married or even already married and have children.
The background of this world of cultivating immortals is, after all, something similar to ancient times.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Ping'er put her little chin on her knees, and her other little hand was writing and drawing on the bluestone board. She didn't know what to write, and she was mumbling some words in her little mouth.
Xi Zhong walked gently behind Xiao Ping'er, then squatted down and covered Xiao Ping'er's eyes with his hands. Xiao Ping'er let out a surprised "Ah" sound.
Xi Zhong smiled and asked, "Guess who I am?"
Xiao Ping'er instantly pouted her mouth and stopped talking.
Then Xi Zhong felt that his palms were slightly moist.
Xi Zhong quickly took his hand back, and it turned out that Xiao Ping'er was crying.
"What's wrong? Who has offended you?" Xi Zhong asked with concern.
Xiao Ping'er snorted, then pouted, blinked his eyes and shed tears, ignoring Xi Zhong.
Xi Zhong knew that Xiao Ping'er was angry with him.
He had not been with her for more than ten days because he had taken part in the assessment, and after coming back, in less than a few days, Xi Zhong went into seclusion and practiced how to control spiritual power, and finally had to go to the Imperial Tomb Ghost.
Sister Qingyi from the Chao Gang got the exquisite green lotus treasure, and now she is finally back.
But he immediately discussed the matter with Ren Jingshan and was left out of the treatment of Xiao Ping'er.
Xi Zhong thought for a while, and finally held Xiao Ping'er in his arms and asked softly: "It's brother Xi Zhong's fault. Brother Xi Zhong shouldn't neglect Xiao Ping'er."
His tone was as if he was coaxing his own daughter.
As a result, Xiao Ping'er's delicate little nose wrinkled even more, and she quickly broke away from Xi Zhong's arms, then ran to the stone steps behind a pillar and sat down, still ignoring Xi Zhong.
Xi Zhong was completely at his wits end.
He doesn't know how to coax girls.
Now being able to guess the reason for Xiao Ping'er's anger is already the result of Xi Zhong's hard work.
But Xi Zhong heard a saying, "A good girl is afraid of being harassed by a man."
Xi Zhong feels that this sentence is not only applicable to the relationship between men and women, but also to the relationship between brothers and sisters.
As long as I apologize sincerely, Xiao Ping'er will definitely forgive me.
Then Xi Zhong moved his butt again, and then came to Xiao Ping'er's side.
Xiao Ping'er glared at Xi Zhong, then snorted again and turned his head away from looking at Xi Zhong.
Xi Zhong could only say flatteringly: "Brother Xi Zhong knows that he is wrong. When he comes back this time, he will definitely be able to accompany Xiao Ping'er and make delicious food for you. Have you ever eaten something called a 'lollipop'?"
When Xiao Ping'er heard the word "lollipop", her little ears perked up, but then she turned her head away and ignored Xi Zhong.
But Xi Zhong smiled.
Lollipop, there's something about it.
I'm not afraid that the girl will be angry, but I'm afraid that the girl won't respond.
This is a saying taught by Xi Zhong, a "love sage" in the company in his previous life.
