On the way back, Yuan Chaoxi explained the rules of the "Seven Star Yaocai" conference to Bai Liming, Zuo Sisi, and Zhou Jiang.
The "Seven Stars Yaocai" Conference is a grand gathering for competition among the palaces of the Taiyi Sect. It is held every seven years and is hosted by each palace in turn. This session was held in Tianji Palace.
The "Seven Stars Yaocai" conference mainly examines the cultivation strength of low-level disciples in the Zhengjue Realm and the Humility Realm, and is divided into two methods: team battles and individual battles.
In the Real Realm and above, if the power of magic is powerful, there will be no magic competition, but sitting down to discuss the Tao, teaching the Dharma and studying the Tao.
In the team battle, ten people from each palace and realm are selected and divided into two groups, A and B. Group B of each palace will compete first, and the winning group will be selected to advance to Group A. The Tianshu Palace in Group B will have a bye.
As for the individual battle, three people are selected from the eight A-teams, for a total of twenty-four people to compete.
Bai Liming wondered: "Why does Tianshu Palace have the right to have a bye? Instead of drawing lots or taking turns in each session, this is too unfair."
Yuan Chaoxi snorted angrily: "Hmph, who gave Tianshu Palace a special status? It is the main court of the Taoist sect. All the ancestors after the Seventh Patriarch came from the Li family of Tianshu Palace."
"Li family?" Bai Liming asked doubtfully, and Yuan Chaoxi continued:
"Yes, they are the descendants of the Seventh Patriarch, Zhongtianshu Palace Taoist Patriarch. Although the Taoist sect's rules stipulate that the person with the highest realm is the prerequisite for becoming the Patriarch."
"But it is strange to say that the people with the highest realm after the Seventh Patriarch mostly come from the Li family. Occasionally, there are star kings from other palaces with outstanding magic power, but they have never surpassed the Li family. Even if they have the same realm, the Li family is in the main court, and the ancestor
This position can only be held by him."
"There is quite a hint of hereditary neglect. To use an inappropriate analogy, the Li family in Tianshu Palace is like the emperor of the great earthquake dynasty, while the other palaces are like the vassal kings who have separated themselves from each other."
Everyone was in awe after hearing this.
Zuo Sisi smiled and said: "The analogy Yuan Daoyou just gave is much more appropriate than those given by General Zhou."
Zhou Jiang immediately questioned: "Why is my analogy not appropriate enough?"
Zuo Sisi pretended to be profound and said: "For example, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth."
Everyone laughed together.
Baili Ming changed the subject and said: "As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Now that we have obtained the star iron, the refining of the magical weapon must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Bailiming, Yuan Chaoxi and Zuo Sisi nodded in agreement, Bailiming said:
"I learned from the Taoist books that refining the original spiritual object is the basis for advancing to the realm of humility. The original spiritual object needs to be refined with five elements. The quality of the five elements determines the future evolution of the original spiritual object.
the height of."
"Although the Taoist sect will also provide them, they are all ordinary things. We have star iron, and the other spiritual materials with the four attributes of wood, water, fire, and earth need to try our best to find higher quality things."
Yuan Chaoxi said: "Bai Liming is right. When the selection within the sect is over, we will go searching together."
Zuo Sisi nodded and said: "That's true, but with our strength, if we search in those caves and dangerous places, we may never return. It seems that we can only try our luck in the market within the Taoist gate."
General Zhou also grinned and said: "We have gained a lot from this experience. We can exchange demon pills and elixirs for it. I heard that the market in Tianquan Palace is quite large and has all kinds of spiritual materials. We can
Go there and try your luck."
Baili Ming praised: "Brother Zhou's words are reasonable, but we can't expect too much. We are lucky to be able to find one or two high-quality materials that are suitable for fusion."
Yuan Chaoxi continued: "Well, but these are a bit far-fetched. The smelting embryo is also crucial. When the time comes, I will ask my father to come forward and ask Elder Cao of Fire Turtle Island to help us refine it to ensure that it is foolproof."
Baili Ming and the other three were overjoyed and all clasped their fists in thanks.
After everyone parted, Yuan Chaoxi returned home to meet his father.
Green smoke from the incense burner curled up in Yuan Mansion's study. Yuan Jinsheng's face was filled with a smile. Asked about the process of this experience, Yuan Chaoxi lay carelessly on the lounge chair in the study, talking about nothing.
Yuan Jinsheng knew his daughter's temperament and didn't care. Hearing about the experience, he said with joy: "Xi'er handled the experience well and was not alarmed by changes. She gained a lot. She is much better than when she was a father."
A look of pride appeared on Yuan Chaoxi's face: "Dad, this is the Yangtze River where the waves in front recede, and each wave is higher than the last."
Yuan Jinsheng stroked his beard and smiled: "Xi'er, you can be more powerful than dad, and dad is very happy. Even if you slap me on the beach, it doesn't matter, hahaha!"
Yuan Chaoxi also laughed immediately, but thinking of the strange things that happened in the caves of Qianshan County, she was still a little unsure.
Finally, he asked: "Dad, although this experience was successful and rewarding, my daughter also encountered some puzzling things during the process."
Then, he recounted the strange changes that occurred in his body when he saw Gong Mi manipulating the magic circle in the cave.
After listening to Yuan Chaoxi's story, Yuan Jinsheng was a little stunned for a while, then he thought for a moment and said seriously and solemnly:
"Xi'er, you are older now, and there are some things that I need to let you know."
Yuan Chaoxi looked stunned: "Dad, what is going on?"
After Yuan Jinsheng pondered for a moment, he sighed and said, "Hey, Xi'er, do you know why dad didn't become the lord of Kaiyang Palace?"
Yuan Chaoxi replied: "I heard that it was because my father's cultivation was not as good as Uncle Sheng's, so the old palace master finally reluctantly appointed Uncle Sheng to do it."
Yuan Jinsheng said bitterly: "It's hard to do so, haha, why do so hard? Why can't dad's cultivation be inferior to that of Shengyang? Since I entered the Taoist sect, I have achieved outstanding results all the way, far exceeding those of my peers. I am also strict with myself and myself.
I am tolerant to others and have always had a good reputation in Kaiyang Palace. Everyone is optimistic about me and think that I am the best candidate to be the next Star King of Kaiyang Palace."
"But I didn't expect that in the final blood test, it was found that I carry the heritage of the demon clan. Old Xingjun weighed it again and again, and finally decided on my junior brother Sheng Yang who has a purer bloodline. So, what dad wants to tell you is this
An incomprehensible bloodline.”
Yuan Chaoxi was a little indignant after hearing this, but did not interrupt. After hearing the bloodline, she even had a vague guess.
Yuan Jinsheng sighed and said: "Xi'er, you inherited my bloodline, which showed up when you were one month old. I don't want you to make the same mistake as me again, so from then on, I checked the classics and finally gave you
A bloodline seal is imposed, and when you are promoted to the true realm and can manifest the soul, the power of your bloodline will be integrated with the soul, and no one else will question it when you manifest the soul."
Yuan Chaoxi said in a trembling voice: "Am I a descendant of the demon clan?"
Yuan Jinsheng explained: "Yes, Xi'er, you are a descendant of the demon clan, but you are not a member of the demon clan. Our bloodline is very thin compared to the demon clan, and the Taoist tradition also recognizes our existence, so you don't have to worry about this.
, but if you want to be in a high position, you will be affected."
Yuan Chaoxi smiled miserably and said: "I don't expect to be in a high position, I just want to live a happy life."
Yuan Jinsheng was about to explain something more, but Yuan Chaoxi said:
"Dad, I understand. I don't expect to achieve much. You don't have to bother explaining. I will listen to your advice and carefully control the power of my bloodline before reaching the true state."
Yuan Jinsheng nodded and said: "Dad is very pleased that you have such an idea. Xi'er, life has a long road. As long as you have no knots in your heart, no matter your bloodline or not, you will always reach the top of the Taoist discipleship."
