"Well, okay! Chuncheng, I didn't expect that you would be the one in charge here this time!" Tong Lie looked at the visitor and smiled, and then said: "Well, come on, Chuncheng, let me introduce you.
This is the disciple I have accepted, Situ Ming!" Then he said to Situ Ming: "Ming'er, this is your senior brother Chuncheng. His master Kong Xiu is already a master in the late stage of infant transformation! And your senior brother Chuncheng's body is
Your cultivation has reached the state of mind cultivation, and your strength is still above that of a teacher. The most important thing is that your senior brother has only been practicing for more than eighty years, but you are among the many young masters in Qiming Peak! In the future, you can
I need to ask your senior brother Chuncheng for more advice."
"Senior Brother Chuncheng! Hello!" Situ Ming heard the master's introduction and felt envious in his heart. Then, he came over to meet and greet him honestly.
"Junior Brother Situ, hello, haha, I didn't know that my uncle has accepted a disciple here, so I didn't bring you any meeting gifts. I'll make up for it when we meet next time!" Chuncheng looked at Situ Ming a little bit.
Said embarrassedly.
After the two got to know each other, Tong Lie continued to ask: "Chuncheng, what did your master do? Why is he willing to let you come here to see the treasure pavilion?"
"Uncle, please don't mention it. The disciple is filled with bitterness when he mentions it! Two months ago, when the disciple was sparring with Junior Brother Xie Baochuan from Wangtian Peak, he was seriously injured by accident. This was nothing.
Yes, when the two were competing, they were inevitably caught off guard, but somehow the master found out about it. As a result, the master was very angry, and then he went to Master Xuan Ning and told him that he sent his disciples here.
!" Chuncheng said and sighed: "It's a pity that Zhenpin Pavilion only changes its personnel once every fifty years. There are still thirty years before the centenary competition in Mount Jiuhua. The disciples have no chance to catch up. Alas.
!”
"Haha, Xie Baochuan, that boy is also very strong, but he was seriously injured by you. Well, it seems that he has secretly developed some unique skills, and then he deliberately showed off when competing with others and wanted to show off his skills.
In the end, I didn't expect that the power was greater than you thought, so I seriously injured the person!" Tong Lie looked at Chuncheng's frustrated look and said, but after he finished speaking, he said again: "Don't deny it, but, by the way,
You are back. If I were your master, I would send you here as well. The Hundred Years Competition is just a ranking battle between the new disciples in the sect, but the most important thing is the ranking battle between the nine peaks. Now
, with such a trump card like you, naturally we have to hide it first, and then we can decide the outcome in a battle!"
"Nine Peaks Ranking Competition! Uncle Master, you haven't returned to the mountain for a long time, so you don't know that fifteen years ago, Guanting Peak recruited a peerless talent. It only took thirteen years to form a pill. Many
People say privately that in the Jiuhua Mountain Competition thirty years later, he will definitely reach the stage of conceiving a baby or even transforming into a baby, so he will definitely be the first one!" Chuncheng said with some jealousy.
"Ah, after thirteen years of pill formation, it seems that Guanting Peak will lose the title of the century-old peak this time. What a pity!" Hearing what Chuncheng said, Tong Lie sighed slightly.
At this time, Situ Ming asked in confusion: "Master, what is the Hundred Years Competition? What is the Nine Peaks Competition? What a pity, isn't it just a competition!"
Chuncheng heard Situ Ming's inquiry and without waiting for Tong Lie's reply, he said: "Junior Brother Situ, let me tell you! These two competitions are not trivial matters. First of all, the Centennial Competition is held once every hundred years in Jiuhua Mountain.
The martial arts competition is restricted to only disciples who have entered the martial arts competition within a hundred years. There are no restrictions on the number of participants or their cultivation level. Therefore, any new disciple will have a chance to participate in the competition! As long as he can enter the top ten,
Then you will get good rewards, magic weapons, and elixirs! Of course, if you give up the rewards, you can also ask any elder to teach you a unique skill.
The Nine Peaks Competition is even more demanding. It is also held every hundred years. Only those disciples who have never participated in the Nine Peaks Competition before can participate. Those who have participated cannot participate. However, there are several situations.
Exceptions, first of all, people who have cultivated to the realm of refining gods are not allowed to participate. Of course, if you have cultivated to the realm of refining gods within a hundred years, you are allowed to participate. Secondly, people who have practiced for more than three hundred years are not allowed to participate. Finally, if you participate in nine
The number of people in the peak competition cannot exceed five people per peak, so of course the number of people allowed is smaller!
Although the requirements are harsh, the reward for getting first place is also very generous. Not only will you win the title of the first peak of Jiuhua, but also within a hundred years, you will have an additional share of the treasures of heaven, material and earth in the door!" After finishing speaking,
An excited look appeared on Chuncheng's face.
Although personal rankings can get good rewards, they are nothing more than magic weapons and elixirs, and they are limited to the same. But compared to the hundred-year genius treasure quota, it is just drizzle. What kind of talent is there?
Di Bao doesn't know how many magic weapons and elixirs he can refine. Moreover, as long as Jiu Feng ranks victorious, it will be equivalent to a display of personal strength, which will naturally be recognized by discerning people. By then, it will be clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.
"So that's it! Thanks for the advice, senior brother!" Situ Ming said after nodding.
"Okay, Chuncheng, then I will leave the Treasure Pavilion to you. I will take Ming'er back to Qiming Peak to practice! You should also practice well. There are still thirty years left, and you will strive to step into the realm of transformation.
When the time comes, we will give Qiming Peak a good face. Speaking of which, Qiming Peak has not won the first place for a long time!" After watching his apprentice and Chuncheng finish chatting, Tong Lie stood up.
Speak up.
"Uncle, please rest assured. This disciple will definitely work hard and win the title of Jiuhua's first peak when the time comes!" Chuncheng said confidently.
"Well, Ming'er, let's go!" Tong Lie nodded and said, and then left the Treasure Pavilion with Situ Ming.
**********
Qiming Peak, one of the nine peaks of Mount Jiuhua, is located to the west of Mount Jiuhua. It is called Qiming Peak, which means opening up the brightness of the east. Qiming Peak is the smallest peak among the nine peaks of Mount Jiuhua, but its status has never been dared by anyone.
I'm looking down on it. Moreover, the disciples of Qiming Peak have always been selected by the disciples of Qiming Peak themselves, and new disciples will not be invited to join Qiming Peak. The current peak master of Qiming Peak, Xuan Ning, is a master with the realm of trance.
, the monastic community gave him the nickname Blood Robe Xuanning.
"Ming'er, the current peak master Xuan Ning is an old-fashioned man who is serious about his words. I always call him master when I see him. So after arriving at Qiming Peak, you must behave yourself. Also, don't follow others.
There's a quarrel!" Tong Lie flew into the sky with Situ Ming, constantly urging Situ Ming.
"Master, I know, I will not cause trouble! By the way, Master, why do I feel that you are afraid of Peak Master Xuan Ning!" Situ Ming didn't know Xuan Ning's past deeds, so he was very surprised by his master's reaction.
.
"Huh, scared, there are a few people in Jiuhua Mountain who are not afraid of Xuan Ning! Forget it, you will know after you see him!" Seeing that they had arrived at Qiming Peak, Tong Lie said in a hurry, and then took him with him
Situ Ming fell down together.
Many people saw Tong Lie falling and came over one after another, calling him uncle with smiles. It can be seen that Tong Lie's seniority seems to be quite high in Qiming Peak, but Situ Ming found it very strange, because these people shouted "Uncle" in their mouths.
Uncle Master, but there was not much respect for the elders on his face! But Tong Lie responded with a smile without mind at all. At the same time, he introduced Situ Ming to everyone. When he heard that Situ Ming was Tong Lie’s disciple,
Everyone's faces showed an indescribable expression, as if they were surprised, but also a bit sarcastic, so Situ Ming didn't know for a moment whether they were sarcastic or surprised.
After getting rid of everyone's entanglement, Tong Lie took Situ Ming and two people straight to the main hall of Qiming Peak, Qiming Palace. At first glance, Qiming Palace was very big. It was initially estimated that it was 20 meters high and more than 300 meters long.
It was still cylindrical, and the surrounding walls were covered with reliefs. Tong Lie introduced to Situ Ming that these reliefs were actually part of a very powerful formation.
When they arrived outside the hall, Tong Lie said again: "Ming'er, this is the place where Jiuhua Mountain's secret books are stored, the Qiming Hall, and the Peak Master is inside. I will take you to see the Peak Master, and then you can follow me.
Master lives here to practice! Remember, don’t act arbitrarily.”
With that said, Tong Lie tidied his clothes, and then took Situ Ming into the Qiming Hall. There were many people on each floor reading books. Situ Ming couldn't see through anyone's cultivation level.
This shows how strong they are. After the two of them reached the fourth floor, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, holding a book in his hand, and reading with his head down. Tong Lie stopped and then
He knelt down respectfully and said: "Disciple Tong Lie and disciple Situ Ming pay homage to Master Xuan Ning! Disciple was ordered to go down the mountain to guard the treasure pavilion for fifty years, and he came back here to resume his duties!"
Following Tong Lie, Situ Ming also knelt down. When Tong Lie finished speaking, the man reading the book raised his head. Although Situ Ming was kneeling, he still glanced furtively. This man was quite elegant, with slender eyebrows.
There was still a touch of Confucianism in the room, sitting there quietly, giving people the feeling of a learned Confucian scholar, very much like his father when he was studying. As Situ Ming looked at it, Xuan Ning also spoke:
"Tong Lie, get up! Is the little guy behind you your new apprentice Situ Ming?"
Tong Lie stood up first, and then said: "Come back to Master, it's my junior disciple, my name is Situ Ming!" After that, he whispered to Situ Ming: "Who told you to get up? Kneel down and kowtow to Master.
