"Is the Sword Peak Competition about to start again?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously. He had lived in the cave for a long time and rarely went out. He was a little dull about the affairs of the sect.
"Yes, it will start in less than March."
"What are Junior Brother Lu's plans this time?"
"Here is the big competition at Sword Peak. I am already a Nascent Soul cultivator. Isn't it inappropriate to compare myself with the other pill-forming disciples at Sword Peak?"
Lu Xuan asked after considering it.
Although there were Nascent Soul cultivators participating in the two previous competitions he had participated in, the number was very small. He maintained his identity and planned to give up his qualifications to participate in the competition this time.
"Indeed, there are very few Yuanying fellow disciples who are willing to participate in previous competitions, and they have basically just been promoted to the Yuanying realm not long ago."
Yuan Rong said with a smile.
"Usually those lower-ranked Sword Peaks, under pressure, send Nascent Soul monks who are proficient in one or more cultivation techniques to improve their scores in the competition."
"However, since the resources controlled by the Nascent Soul Realm are far greater than those of the Core Formation, the requirements for the elders of the Sword Palace to score have also been increased."
"After Junior Brother Lu improved the sixth-grade Killing and Prison Sword Grass, there will be no ranking pressure on our Real Sword Peak this time. Junior Brother can choose not to participate."
"good."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
Although he is fully confident to continue to get first-class scores in spiritual planting, spiritual brewing, and talisman making, since there is no ranking pressure in Jianfeng, there is no need for him to bully the juniors who form pills.
"I can't help it. Although I don't have to participate in person, I can still decide the ranking of Sword Peak."
He thought proudly in his heart.
The emergence of the life-killing and prison-suppressing sword grass had such a far-reaching impact that it greatly improved his status within the Sword Sect.
After Yuan Rong said goodbye and left, he thought for a while and summoned his three disciples to come to the cave.
"Meet the Master!"
The three of them saluted together.
"Will you three participate in this Sword Peak Competition?"
"Back to Master, I plan to participate and compete with the other powerful sword cultivators from Sword Peak."
Li Haotian has devoted his whole life to swordsmanship. Although he is still in the early stage of forming pills, his swordsmanship skills are not weaker than those of his fellow sects. In addition, the thundering sword and gallbladder treasure previously given by Lu Xuan has further improved his swordsmanship. After learning about the Jianfeng Competition,
My heart is eager to try.
"good."
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
The senior disciple in front of me has extremely rich combat experience and should be able to obtain a good rating.
"I will give you a fifth-grade white bone killing sword grass. The quality is better than those cultivated by other sword cultivators in the sect. Let's see if you can master it completely in the competition."
Lu Xuan took out a sword grass with pure killing intent and handed it to Li Haotian.
"What matters is participation, not ranking."
He instructed softly.
"Thank you Master!"
Li Haotian took the Senbai Sword Grass and bowed his head heavily, with endless gratitude in his tone.
"Master, Senior Sister Chen and I are only at the foundation-building level, can we still participate in the Sword Peak Competition?"
Mu Yuanping pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.
"You two are not good at fighting, but you can choose one or two cultivation skills to see if you can pass the initial screening of Jianfeng."
Lu Xuan smiled.
If you want to participate in the Jianfeng Competition, you must first obtain the qualifications from Jianfeng.
Among the two, Mu Yuanping's spiritual cultivation level has improved rapidly under his careful guidance over the years, and he should be able to get a good rating.
As for Chen Qingshuang, when she was still an outer disciple, she had a lot of experience in making talismans. After joining Lu Xuan's sect, she occasionally held small talisman-making exchange meetings, and she was responsible for helping organize the contents of the meetings.
When you have any questions, you can also get personal guidance from Lu Xuan, who has a good level of skills in several fourth-grade sword talismans such as Xiaohai Sword Talisman and Da Sun Sword Talisman.
What's more important is that he is a three-person master, so there is no way he could fail Huanzhen Sword Peak's initial screening.
"I have been in the cave for the past three months, and I have chosen the type I want to participate in. I will teach you a lesson. An unknown smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
"Yes! Master!"
The three of them were still immersed in joy and had no idea what the tutoring Lu Xuan said meant.
In the next three months, Lu Xuan was idle and bored. He frequently summoned the three of them and arranged various intense and targeted tasks to make the three of them improve rapidly in swordsmanship, talisman making, and spiritual brewing.
promote.
Soon, the day came for the official start of the Jianfeng Competition.
The first thing to start with is the strength of the major Jianfeng disciples.
Each Sword Peak sends out ten of its most outstanding disciples from the front, middle and back of the Dan Formation to compete at the same level.
Li Haotian successfully obtained the qualification and returned to the cave within three days to report his results to Lu Xuan.
"This disciple has no face to face the master and has not entered the final top ten of his sect in the early stage of pill formation."
A trace of shame appeared on his cold face.
"Nine Sword Peaks, there are ninety of the best early Dan Formation disciples participating. You can get more than twenty, which is already quite good."
Lu Xuan comforted.
This ranking is already third among the ten members of Huanzhen Sword Peak. With Li Haotian's qualifications, it is extremely difficult to achieve this ranking.
"Try to enter the top ten in the next Sword Peak Competition."
Lu Xuan encouraged.
"Yes! I will definitely live up to Master's trust!"
Li Haotian said decisively.
Soon, the ratings of Mu Yuanping and Chen Qingshuang were also released.
Mu Yuanping received a B-low score in the spirit-planting skills competition, while Chen Qingshuang received a C-level score in the talisman-making section.
When the two of them came back to visit Lu Xuan, they were both a little embarrassed and felt that they had lost the face of their master.
Lu Xuan comforted them one by one.
He was quite satisfied with their results.
After all, the Sword Sect is a behemoth in the world of cultivation, and the geniuses of the major sword peaks are like crucian carp crossing the river. The two of them have achieved such good results with the foundation-building realm, and their performance is already very good.
Deep in the Sword Palace.
Jian Huanzhen arrived immediately, chose a conspicuous location, sat down lazily, quietly tasted the Huanzhen sword liquid, and waited for the other eight sword masters to come over.
"It's true that Junior Brother is coming earlier and earlier. It's different if you have confidence."
An old man in coarse linen clothes and waving a cattail leaf fan slowly walked in.
In his impression, in the previous Jianfeng competitions, Jian was always the last one to arrive, and left in a hurry after announcing his ranking. He had never been so enthusiastic as these two times, and he wished he could live in the Sword Palace.
"I'm really envious. I don't know what kind of luck I had, but I managed to find such a lucky general like Junior Brother Lu."
"In this competition, Jianfeng is really going to climb up again."
Several sword masters came in one after another and sighed with emotion.
Everyone couldn't stand how proud Jian was, and they all wanted to replace him. They just wished they hadn't attended the All Souls Conference and brought Lu Xuan under their sword peak.
After the nine people arrived, the sword boy followed closely and appeared in front of everyone.
"I will announce the rankings for this Sword Peak Competition."
"First, rush to the Void Sword Peak."
Everyone's expressions were as usual, Chongxu Sword Peak had been monopolizing the number one position for who knows how many years, and the other eight sword peaks didn't even pose any threat to it.
"Second, Baigong Sword Peak."
"Fifth, the True Sword Peak."
"really-"
Several people looked at Jian Huazhen, who had an even bigger smile on his face, and they all had different emotions in their hearts.
"Everyone, I accept it."
The sword actually turned around in his hand, and he smiled happily.
