Bai Shan was surprised and said: "You don't even know this."
Zhan Chen blushed and said, "Yeah, I didn't understand."
"The ranking of inner sect disciples is held every five hundred years to test the strength of the inner sect disciples, and then determine the ranking among the top one thousand disciples based on the results of the competition. The number of people participating in the disciple ranking battle each time is between two
When there are three thousand people, they are basically people who are absolutely confident in their own strength."
“So is there any benefit to being ranked high?”
Bai Shan nodded and said: "Of course, those at the top can get a large number of merit point rewards. The most important thing is that in all ranking battles, respected elders from the sect will come to watch the battle. Anyone who is chosen by them can
He was directly accepted as a registered disciple and has a bright future."
"Are there any benefits to being a registered disciple?"
"Yes, as a registered disciple, you have the right to enter the upper hanging island where the elders live. You can participate in the elders' daily sermons and acquire a lot of cultivation knowledge, thereby shortening the time to break through the Dharmakaya realm. Being able to get close to the elders is also of great benefit. If you can ask for
If you win their favor, you will be given a large amount of training materials, and many elders of our sect are from the top ten families. If you can be favored by an elder of the Bai family, you can also go to the hanging island of our Bai family.
It’s time to play.” Bai Shan smiled.
"Can I enter the hanging island of the ten major families?" Zhan Chen's eyes lit up. For him, the most urgent thing now is to get in touch with Xu Liyan and understand her current situation.
"It seems that I have to participate in this ranking competition, and to get the ranking, it is best to attract the attention of an elder from the Xu family!" Zhan Chen secretly made up his mind.
Bai Shan saw his expression and said: "Zhan Chen, it's okay for you to participate in the ranking battle to experience it, but I told you to keep a low profile, because Li Shaobai is also a disciple of the inner sect, and he is very likely to participate in this event.
In this ranking match, you are likely to meet unexpectedly on the field, and I'm afraid he will think of you again. Li Shaobai will retaliate, and your life will be in danger again."
Zhan Chen didn't listen to her words, but was thinking: "Li Shaobai may participate in the qualifying competition, and then Xu Liyan may also participate. If so, I should go!"
Thinking of this, he said: "Thank you, Sister Bai, for the reminder - By the way, Sister Bai, are you planning to participate in this competition?"
"Of course, speaking of which, I am still a little nervous, because after all, I have just broken through to the realm of Mingfa Dzogchen, and this is my first time participating in a ranking match." Bai Shan smiled.
"So when exactly will the ranking battle be held?"
"Next March, wait for the specific notice. It will be posted on the bulletin board of the new city. Zhan Chen, I still want to participate from your tone. I advise you to give up this idea. It is impossible for you to join the intermediate level of Mingfa with your strength.
The first thousand people, so it’s better to practice steadily.”
Knowing her good intentions, Zhan Chen said, "Okay, Sister Bai, I'll go back first."
"All right."
Zhan Chen left Baishan's residence and returned to his home to start practicing quietly, sorting out and consolidating the gains from the previous period of training, and preparing for the next inner sect disciple ranking competition. Although he probably won the first place with his current cultivation level
There won't be any big problems, but he still has the idea of doing his best.
Just as Zhan Chen was preparing for the battle, Xu Liyan finally came out of seclusion. As soon as she came out of seclusion, she was invited to Xu Jing's presence by the serving maid.
Xu Jing looked at his daughter whom he had not seen for a thousand years, couldn't help but nodded, showed a smile, and said: "Yanyan, this is probably the hardest time you have ever worked hard. In such a short period of time, you have been promoted from the basic level of Mingfa to Mingfa."
The Dzogchen realm shows how talented you are, but you were too playful in the past, which is why your cultivation grew slowly."
Xu Liyan smiled and said: "Dad taught me a lesson, so my daughter has changed her ways."
"Well, do you remember? You told me before you went into seclusion that you would give me a thousand years to increase my cultivation. After I came out of seclusion, I would marry Mr. Li. This thing should be fulfilled."
Xu Liyan said: "Dad, I promised you, but at that time I said that I would consider marriage only after I improve my cultivation, but I did not say that I must marry Li Shaobai!"
Xu Jing was furious after hearing this, stood up and said, "How can marriage be a trivial matter? Your father has already made the decision for you, and I have invited Li Shaobai over today." He turned around and faced the person behind him.
A door called: "Master Li, come out."
The door opened, and Li Shaobai walked out. He came to Xu Jing, saluted, and said: "Junior, I pay my respects to Uncle Xu."
Xu Jing said: "Shaobai, I will make the decision for you today about your marriage to my daughter. Do you have any objections?"
Li Shaobai's face showed a look of ecstasy, but he still wanted to show off and said: "Uncle Xu, of course I am completely satisfied, but Yanyan seems to have some prejudices against me."
Xu Liyan interjected: "Wrong, I am full of prejudice against you!"
"Yanyan, wanton!" Xu Jing shouted.
"Uncle Xu, don't be angry. I will tell Yanyan clearly. I believe she will understand my sincerity towards her."
"You should give up." Xu Liyan turned away and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Li Shaobai still had a smile on his face and walked up to her and said: "Yanyan, you have to know that the alliance between our Li family and your Xu family is the general trend. What will be the consequences of your stubborn resistance in the end?"
"It's not sweet to be coercive. Even if I marry you under pressure, I won't really give you good things. You won't get it after all!" Xu Liyan said.
Li Shaobai sighed and asked: "Yanyan, I really don't understand what hatred I have against you? Why do you reject me so much?"
“If you don’t like it, you don’t like it!”
"Then what do you need me to do to change this stubborn and hopeless idea?"
Xu Liyan originally wanted to fight to the end, but after hearing Li Shaobai's words, she couldn't help but feel moved, and said: "Li Shaobai, in my mind, my man must be an upright man, so his cultivation must be the strongest, yours
His cultivation level is only Dharma Enlightenment and Dzogchen, but I still look down upon him!"
Xu Jing said: "Yanyan, this is your fault. Li Shaobai has unlimited potential and is expected to be promoted to the ultimate realm of Wanfa in the future. Why don't you think highly of him?"
"Dad, you say he is good, but you also have to prove it. Aren't you most concerned about the potential of a cultivator? So I also accepted your influence and took this as the standard for my future husband."
Li Shaobai interrupted their conversation and asked Xu Liyan: "Yanyan, tell me what you want me to do before you are willing to marry me."
Xu Liyan rolled her eyes and replied: "Li Shaobai, dad said you have amazing potential, and now there is a chance to verify your strength. A year from now, aren't we going to hold a ranking competition? As long as you can compete in the ranking competition
If you get first place in the competition, I will admit that you have extraordinary qualifications, and I will depend on you for everything at that time."
"Okay, first place is first place. Isn't it easy for me to take first place?" Li Shaobai immediately agreed.
Xu Jing also nodded and said: "That's very good, Shaobai. The day you win the competition will be the wedding day between our Xu family and your Li family."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu!" Li Shaobai said happily.
At this time, Xu Liyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: "I finally got through it. Li Shaobai, you want to get the first place, but don't forget that there is me. I won't let you get what you want. I want to win the first place."
I will defeat you, a playboy, in the competition, and I will make you convinced!"
"Uncle Xu, I'll take my leave first!" Li Shaobai hurriedly bid farewell to Xu Jing. At this time, he also had to prepare for the future ranking competition. Although as the young master of the Li family, he has absolute confidence in his own strength, but
After all, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the inner sect, and this first place cannot be achieved just by taking it.
Zhan Chen, Xu Liyan and Li Shaobai each had their own plans and were making final preparations for the upcoming ranking match. Time passed day by day, like running water, and before they knew it, the start of the match was approaching.
