Although Yaochi Banquet has the word "banquet" in its name, it actually does not just involve inviting a group of people to eat and drink.
Normally, the Yaochi Banquet lasts for about thirty-five days, but occasionally, under certain special circumstances, it can be extended to fifty days.
During this period of time, the Fairy Palace will provide all participants with logistical materials including accommodation, cultivation resources, spiritual food supplements, etc. At the same time, powerful persons and even venerables from the Fairy Palace will also open lectures to impart karma and enlightenment.
.
Of course, these are actually nothing to those top-ranked Soul Condensing Realm monks.
After all, they are all geniuses in their own sects. Whether it is logistical supplies or answers to questions about exercises, their own sects will definitely be able to satisfy them. So in fact, this benefit is for those cultivators ranked lower on the Heavenly Ranking.
As well as the junior brothers and sisters who followed as followers.
What the monks at the top are really interested in are the two large-scale events that run through the entire Yaochi Banquet.
Entry qualifications for Fengyuntai and Lingxi Realm.
Let’s talk about the spiritual breath realm first.
This is a special secret realm controlled by the Fairy Palace.
The reason why I say it is special is because the spiritual energy content of this secret realm is more than a hundred times that of the overall environment of the mysterious realm, so that the entire secret realm is filled with extremely exaggerated spiritual plants and spirit beasts, and even the streams in the secret realm are all.
It is formed by the condensation of extremely pure spiritual energy.
It can be said that in this secret realm, every breath you take is equivalent to a stick of incense meditating in the mysterious realm.
As long as you can enter it and practice for one day, it is equivalent to nine hundred days of practice in the mysterious world. This is almost two and a half years of practice!
Of course, no one dares to do this.
Because the monk's body cannot bear it.
Such a large amount of spiritual energy pouring into the body of a Soul Condensing Realm monk in an instant will not bring a sense of satisfaction, but it will very likely completely burst your body in an instant. Therefore, monks who have always entered the spiritual breath secret realm
, will not choose to practice in it, but mainly collect various spiritual plants, capture spiritual beasts, and collect spiritual liquid. They will even try to avoid fighting in the spiritual breath territory.
Because every collision and fluctuation caused by Zhenqi will increase the destructive power several times, which may eventually lead to some unpredictable consequences.
From Su Anran's understanding, it was probably a dust explosion.
The Secret Realm of Spiritual Breath in the Fairy Palace is usually opened after the Yaochi Banquet. The maintenance time of each opening is seven days. Only monks above the Soul Condensation Stage and below the Transformation Stage can enter, and although this secret realm is controlled by
The Fairy Palace has control over it, but in fact the Fairy Palace does not know the specific operation of this secret realm, but it can only be opened once in five hundred years, and only fifty people can enter each time.
The Fairy Palace has always been sure to occupy twenty places. After all, it is the property of one's own sect.
Therefore, what other monks compete for is the last thirty places.
According to past practice, Wanshilou will make the first correction to the Heavenly Ranking at the end of the Yaochi Banquet, so the thirty places will be admitted directly according to the top thirty on the Heavenly Ranking - however, in previous years, because of Shi Dao
No Confucian monks will come to participate in the Yaochi Banquet, and some female monks don't like the routine of the Fairy Palace very much, so it is often necessary to use some other means to ensure the birth of these thirty places.
This is also the origin of Fengyuntai.
In the early days, the Fairy Palace held Yaochi banquets, but they didn’t have the confidence to invite the powerful ones from the Heavenly Ranking. Even when invitations were sent out, not many people came. It was only later that the reputation gradually spread, and uninvited guests began to appear.
Later, in order to fill up the "hundred seats" gimmick, the Fairy Palace had to set up an arena to give the monks who were not invited a chance to enter the Yaochi Banquet.
However, every time the Yaochi Banquet is held, the number of vacancies is not fixed.
Sometimes, when invitations are sent out and at least ninety people come, there are still ten vacant places.
Sometimes, only forty or fifty people may come, so there will be as many as fifty or sixty vacant places.
But this time it's different.
This is the only grand event since the Fairy Palace held the Yaochi Banquet, where all the people who received the invitation letter were present, and even people from the Buddhist and Confucian schools came.
So this time, the Yaochi Banquet canceled the "Little Fengyuntai" competition, but the internal competition to enter the Spiritual Breathing Secret Realm of Fengyuntai was not cancelled.
The top ten seats are definitely guaranteed.
But for the twenty seats at the back, I'm afraid this time it will really be a bloody battle.
Even because there are people coming from five Buddhist and Confucian sects, including the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, Xiaoleiyin Temple, Huanxi Sect, Baijiayuan, and Zhuzi Academy, I am afraid that several more places will be squeezed out.
So Niyue doesn't care about Fengyuntai, because no one is stupid enough to challenge her, and even if she is, she is still within the top ten.
But Mu Xue, who was ranked seventeenth, was not stable.
Xue Bin of Ziyun Jiange obviously has a trump card and plans to make a splash on the stage.
And I'm afraid there are many people who have the same idea as him.
Not to mention, the telepathy that Miaoxin revealed in front of Su Anran was even more shuddering - for Naiyue and Helianwei, it was not fear, but excitement, and they were naturally eager.
Fight with Miao Xin once to see how mysterious the Buddhist mind is. But people like Yu An, Ye Yunchi, Su Xiaoxiao and others are not excited, but scared. They don't want to fight with Miao Xin at all.
The shadow of a person's famous tree, the reputation of his mind is as thunderous as thunder in the mysterious world.
So everyone has everyone's concerns.
Nai Yue opened the door for Mu Xue. No matter what the reason was, it was undoubtedly very beneficial to Su Anran's sword cultivator who came to visit her family.
Because after Mu Xue showed her hand, Su Anran's bright eyes made everyone present know.
There is drama.
As expected, Su Anran did not hide his secrets, but began to put forward some ideas regarding the characteristics of Mu Xue's sword energy.
Although these ideas are only suitable for Mu Xue's performance, under the premise of drawing parallels, others are not without gains, just more or less.
So in the next few days, Mu Xue did not go back to her villa, but stayed temporarily in Su Anran's villa.
Although she boasted that her sword energy was powerful enough to kill people, after seeing Su Anran's explosive sword energy, she no longer dared to say that her sword energy was powerful enough to kill people. The only remaining advantage was,
It's just that she can condense sword energy very quickly, a few points faster than Su Anran.
So under Su Anran's suggestion, Mu Xue began to focus on improving the penetrability of his sword energy instead of purely pursuing power and lethality.
Power and lethality are the main areas of attack that many sword cultivators who focus on practicing sword energy will focus on.
But Su Anran felt that these people were putting the cart before the horse.
In terms of power, is it comparable to sword skills?
In terms of lethality, is it comparable to sword control?
Sword energy was first developed because of its unexpected characteristics and penetrating power.
But I don’t know where to start. Sword cultivators who practice sword energy have also begun to pursue power. Su Anran feels that this is probably related to the rise of Lingjian Villa. After all, Lingjian Villa has always been famous for the power of sword energy, and there is even "
The famous stunt of "the sword energy stretches across three thousand miles".
Therefore, many sword cultivators later began to pursue the power of sword energy.
The result can be imagined.
Especially later, after Su Anran's sword energy methods began to spread in the mysterious world, to a certain extent, it actually fostered this unhealthy trend.
It's not that Su Anran's sword energy cultivation method is not possible, but that there are too few people who can truly reach Su Anran's level.
After all, Su Anran was able to display grenade sword energy and nuclear bomb sword energy purely because he had minored in the "True Essence Breathing Method" - from the beginning, the amount of true energy contained in his body was more than five times that of other monks in the mysterious world.
, this is the confidence that Su Anran can use his sword energy to create a mushroom cloud.
Su Anran would not dare to say such things as bringing things right.
But through Mu Xue, Su Anran still wanted the sword cultivators who majored in sword energy in the Xuan Realm to have a consciousness that the essence of sword energy should actually be studied in terms of penetrating power. Just like his third senior sister Tang Shiyun, her
The sword energy is not based on lethality, but on the extremely terrifying and sharp penetration: many people think that her sword immortal order is because it is powerful enough, but in fact, in the eyes of other sword immortals, it is really
Terror is the penetrating power hidden in the bright sword light.
As the official start time of the Yaochi Banquet approaches, more and more invited talents are arriving one after another.
During this period, Xue Bin came twice more, but was blocked by Mu Xue each time.
Su Anran knew that Mu Xue was temporarily living in his villa to practice in order to deal with Xue Bin, so Su Anran did not stop Mu Xue's behavior. After all, she was the one whom Nai Yue personally asked for help, so she always likes to treat people according to their close relationship.
Su Anran, who had judged his position, naturally couldn't go to see Xue Bin, so he let Mu Xue be the villain.
In addition to Xue Bin, Nai Yue, Ye Yunchi, He Lianwei and others also came to visit from time to time.
On the contrary, Su Xiaoxiao, Yan Yunzhi, Yan Yunying and others have not come since that day.
The former is because they are not familiar with Su Anran - Su Anran recognizes Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao cannot recognize Su Anran; the latter is because the identity gap is too big, so they naturally have some respect for Su Anran.
mentality, so naturally I feel embarrassed to come and disturb you.
Those who had the same idea were probably Yu An and other sword cultivators who had met each other that day.
However, the little monk Miaoyan came here every day as always. If Miaoxin hadn't warned him not to stay at Su Anran's place, I'm afraid the little monk Miaoyan wouldn't have wanted to go back at all. Because according to him, they, the Great Sun Tathagata,
The disciples of the sect have to be trained in Miaoxin every day until they complain incessantly.
Normally, monks do morning and evening classes, and then have a rare rest time at noon. In the morning and afternoon, they mainly copy sutras and chant Buddha's name. Even if they want to practice exercises, they usually choose one of the time periods in the morning or afternoon.
But that’s not what Miaoxin does.
In the morning, everyone will start fighting her after getting up. Only those who can catch her three moves can rest, otherwise they will have to complete a series of expedited training arranged by her. There is no rest time at noon, but in the afternoon
Everyone started to take action and continued to compete with Miaoxin to maintain their skills. Then at night, they had to accept Miaoxin's assessment again. Only those who passed could go to sleep.
For those who fail to pass two tests a day, the next step will be to double the training courses.
The little monk Miaoyan relied on his Vajra body to forcibly support Miaoxin's three moves, so he was able to gain a brief period of happiness. However, when he went back at night, he still had to receive Miaoxin's iron fist education.
In his own words, he regretted coming to attend this Yaochi banquet. He might as well have stayed in the sect and read Buddhist scriptures.
But when Su Anran asked him why he came to attend the Yaochi Banquet, he said shyly that it was because he hadn't seen Su Anran for a long time. He only heard all the news about Su Anran from his senior brother who came back from traveling down the mountain.
Yes, so this time he heard that Su Anran had won the first place on the Heavenly Ranking and was coming to attend the Yaochi Banquet, so he followed him.
For this reason, he practiced very seriously for a period of time, and then won the place for this trip.
With Miaoyan's temperament that doesn't like fighting, it's really hard for him to be willing to practice and fight for one of the six places on the trip.
The other person who comes to Lanzhuyuan every day is Su Yanran.
She will bring information about the daily progress of the Yaochi Banquet, which is collected continuously by the Fairy Palace every day.
For example, the strategy of the three major aristocratic families against Ji Si has reached a fever pitch. Dongfang Yue has officially revealed his character as a big devil, which makes the two sisters Ximen'e and Nangong Qianying breathless, and they have to join forces.
contend.
But even so, he is still no match for Dongfang Yue.
Because Dongfang Yue directly hinted that whether it was the Nangong family or the Ximen family, if they were willing to be humble and small, it was not impossible for Jisna to have a concubine.
However, the space around Ji Si is limited, and it is impossible to let people enter the lintel without restriction.
She completely considers herself to be an important woman.
As a result, sisters Ximen'e and Nangong Qianying, who had only formed an alliance for less than two days, completely declared that they had fallen out with each other.
It's a very poor skill, but sisters Ximen'e and Nangong Qianying really do it. It is said that even Ji Si admires Dongfang Yue with admiration.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Si will probably choose to marry the Dongfang family. As for whether the one who can still enter is the Ximen family or the Nangong family, it is still full of suspense.
In addition to this news, another news brought by Su Yanran was that there was a conflict between Baijiayuan and Zhuzi Academy.
The trigger was Su Anran.
For some unknown reason, the disciples of Zhuzi Academy showed hostility towards Su Anran, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Baijiayuan.
After all, Su Anran also played a key role in the demon chaos in Nanzhou, so almost all Nanzhou sects have to bear this responsibility.
So, Baijiayuan simply put all the old and new grudges to rest. If Gong Xiaotang hadn't led someone to stop him in time, I'm afraid that the most serious accident in history would have happened before the Yaochi Banquet officially started. After all, Ling was there at that time.
Sects such as Jianshan Villa, Tianshan Sect, Nangong Family, and Dahuang City have all chosen to side with Baijiayuan, and the various schools have almost become public enemies in the Xuanjie.
But what people didn't expect was that the Zhuzi Academy had no fear of this, and even expected to learn from them one by one on the Fengyuntai.
As a result, those monks who had nothing to do with themselves began to look forward to this year's Fengyuntai competition.
This had to make Su Anran quite emotional.
The Yaochi Banquet has not officially started yet, but the fighting spirit of all parties is already so high.
And in this warm atmosphere, the Yaochi Banquet that the entire Xuanjie human race had been waiting for was finally officially held.
One hundred and thirty people were officially seated.
More than forty-five sects are involved.
This is the only time since the Fairy Palace has held so many Yaochi banquets that all seats are fully occupied.
And on the day when the Yaochi Banquet officially began, the Fairy Palace also broke their traditional rules.
This time, the Fairy Palace canonized two saints.
Apart from the original one, the newly canonized saint is the only disciple of the Fairy Palace who has been on the Heavenly Ranking this time.
Su Yanran.
Thirty-eight on the list.
However, no one cares about her ranking and strength.
What people really care about is her other identity.
One of Su Anran's few friends in the mysterious world.
With this identity alone, from the moment Su Yanran was canonized as a saint by the Fairy Palace, her name officially spread throughout the Xuan Realm.
As a result, many monks in the Xuan Realm felt a little sad: "It is indeed a fairy palace with a wide range of friends."
But no matter what other monks think, this incident does prove Su Anran's influence in the mysterious world from the side.
Natural disaster. Su Anran is no longer the young monk who was forced by other monks to take care of the overall situation.
