Chapter 249 Just an Ordinary Top Grade One
Three months later!
Forty-sixth year of Chu Yuanli.
Middle peak.
The elders of the six peaks gathered here to discuss matters regarding the newcomer competition.
The Danshan Sect will definitely participate in the competition for newcomers in the Dan Territory, and this time it will be an internal selection within the sect.
Each of the six peaks recommends a new disciple, and the top two represent the sect in the newcomer competition.
This time, the quotas for the two newcomers to participate in the newcomer competition were determined.
All the elders present knew that one of the spots was for the new disciple of the Second Peak, leaving the Five Peaks to compete for the last remaining spot.
Obtaining this quota means that you can get the resources of the sect.
Qi Shiyun stood alone in the main hall and ignored the other elders. The elders of other peaks also heard about the replacement of new people at the Sixth Peak, but this matter involved the grudges between the Fifth and Sixth Peaks, and they did not care. Good to intervene.
Soon, Xie Jingxing, the leader of Danshan Sect, appeared in the main hall.
"This time our sect has two places to participate in the newcomer competition. One of the places belongs to Zhang Sheng, a disciple of the Second Peak. Do you elders have any objections?"
None of the elders objected.
Xie Jingxing nodded, then looked at the elders and said, "We are summoned this time to decide on the second quota. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Sect Master, just follow the past rules. Whoever can refine the elixir of higher quality will be given the quota."
In the past selection process, Danshan Sect directly asked new disciples to compete in the alchemy competition, so that all peaks could be convinced.
"etc!"
Qi Shiyun spoke, and many elders present looked at Qi Shiyun instantly. It seemed that there was something good to watch.
"Sect Master, my disciple Chu Ning originally refined the high-grade Yanzhuan Dan in Yinxinyuan. He is a new disciple of the genius level. The sect also made an agreement at the beginning that it would do its best to train my disciple. Why did it change its mind later?"
"Elder Qi's words are wrong."
Yan Chenjing spoke: "At first, it was because Zhang Sheng from the Second Peak did not show his potential. Now Zhang Sheng is able to refine fifth-grade elixirs, but our sect only gives one of the two quotas to a genius disciple. The other spot is competed by newcomers from each peak."
This selection model of Danshan Sect also prevents new disciples from feeling resentful and feeling that the sect does not give them a chance.
Originally, when Zhang Sheng did not suddenly emerge, Chu Ning was the number one seed player, and this time the rookie competition was also handled by Sixth Peak.
But now the situation has changed. Zhang Sheng suddenly emerged and became the second peak to take the lead.
"Since we have made an agreement, how can we change our minds at the last minute? If orders are changed overnight, where is the prestige of the sect?"
"What does this have to do with changing the order from morning to night? Elder Qi must not be alarmist. If your disciple Chu Ning is really capable, it is not impossible to compete for the remaining spot."
Yan Chenjing snorted coldly. He had no problem with Chu Ning, but he had a big problem with Sixth Peak.
Originally, there was no other way. The sect needed Chu Ning, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
But the more he endured it, the more uncomfortable he felt, especially since the sect had been saying that he was confused. How could he be confused?
It's that old guy Qin Libang who is too cunning.
Now that Zhang Sheng has appeared on the second peak, he has to breathe a sigh of relief.
Didn't your Sixth Peak want to rob people? It's better now. If Chu Ning can't break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, then your Sixth Peak is incompetent.
"Elder Yan, the newcomer competition affects the entire sect, so we should not have any personal emotions." Another elder of the Sixth Peak advised.
"Humph, I don't have any personal emotions. I always do things for the interests of the sect. Is it possible that you can guarantee that Chu Ning will definitely achieve a C-level result in the competition?"
Yan Chenjing's words made other peak elders twitch at the corners of their mouths. Lao Yan had no personal emotions.
Even if you feed the broken baby fruit to the dog, you won't give it to the sixth peak.
This word has spread throughout the sect.
"Elder Qi, as Chu Ning is a disciple of my Danshan Sect, the sect will naturally not treat him badly. The sect will not take back the alchemy materials originally prepared for him."
Xie Jingxing, the sect leader of Danshan Sect, smiled and said, as the sect leader, he treats all peaks equally. Elder Yan is not willing to take out the Broken Baby Fruit, and he, as the sect leader, cannot force him.
Elder Yan was so offended by the Sixth Peak that he occasionally heard the phrase "Elder Yan is confused" at the Middle Peak.
"Sect Master, my disciple Chu Ning has decided to give up the selection of new members this time. As for the medicinal materials given by the sect, I have also entrusted me as the master to return them to the sect."
Qi Shiyun spoke calmly, and the elders present were not surprised because they had heard the news before.
"Elder Qi, why do you do this?"
Xie Jingxing persuaded Chu Ning, saying that Chu Ning was able to refine the top-grade Zhu Yan Dan at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and his talent in alchemy was indeed good. However, there were only two hundred years left before the competition, and he was worried that he would not have enough time to train Chu Ning.
In the eyes of other elders, Qi Shiyun's behavior was clearly a show of grudge.
It's unwise for a monk in the late stage of spiritual transformation to be so vindictive.
"Misleading people."
Yan Chenjing also snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied with Sixth Peak, he had no dissatisfaction with Chu Ning. In his opinion, Qi Shiyun did this just for his own face, without caring about the future of his disciples.
Qi Shiyun's eyes narrowed, her expression turned cold, and she stared at Yan Chenjing coldly. Yan Chenjing was stared at by Qi Shiyun, but she felt a little frightened. Qi Shiyun's strength had improved a lot.
He was also in the late stage of becoming a god, and he actually felt the pressure.
"Ahem, everyone is doing it for the sect, don't hurt the harmony."
Xie Jingxing opened his mouth to smooth things over. There was not much difference between Elder Yan and Elder Qi in alchemy, but in terms of cultivation strength, Elder Yan was still inferior to Elder Qi.
"Since Chu Ning has given up on competing for the spot in this newcomer competition, your Sixth Peak will send another newcomer to compete."
Hearing Xie Jingxing's words, the corners of Qi Shiyun's lips raised slightly, but she soon returned to her cool look.
"Since the sect master has agreed to my disciple giving up this newcomer competition, and all the elders have heard it here, if something happens in the future, the sect can no longer force Chu Ning to participate in the newcomer competition."
"Don't worry, a Danshan Sect as big as mine cannot rely on the existence of one disciple for so many years. Elder Qi must not be too confident."
Yan Chenjing responded first. In his opinion, Qi Shiyun took Chu Ning too seriously. With the second peak Zhang Sheng here, Chu Ning's participation in the newcomer competition would not have much impact.
Qi Shiyun ignored Yan Chenjing, but looked at Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing's old eyes narrowed slightly, and he noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, he was not from the Sixth Peak. Before he became the sect leader, he was the Third Peak. Lord, I don’t know much about Qi Shiyun either.
So even though I felt something was wrong, I had to take a stand now.
"This is natural. If Chu Ning doesn't want to participate in the newcomer competition, the sect will not force it."
Qi Shiyun smiled. She had laid the groundwork and was waiting for these words from the sect leader.
When the elders present saw the smile on Qi Shiyun's face, they suddenly had a bad feeling.
"In that case, I will leave first. I will not interfere in the selection of new people."
Qi Shiyun walked towards the outside of the hall. Under the gaze of everyone, she suddenly stopped when she reached the door of the hall.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that the sect will provide medicinal materials for new disciples to refine elixirs within a hundred years, but each medicinal material is limited to one. Once they fail, this treatment will be banned. I don't know if I remember correctly. ?”
In order to train new disciples, Danshan Sect stipulates that new disciples need to refine elixirs. They can get them directly from the Dan Pavilion for free, but they can only get one copy. After the refining is successful, they can continue to go to the Dan Pavilion to get other elixirs. of medicinal materials.
If you are successful all the time, you can keep looking for the elixir pavilion to get it until the hundred-year newcomer period expires.
If any elixir fails to be refined during this period, you will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of this new disciple. If you want to refine the elixir, you need to spend your contribution points to redeem it.
This training model can make the disciples have a sense of belonging to the sect. Otherwise, once they enter the sect, they have to complete the sect's tasks to obtain contribution points and exchange them for medicinal materials. Then the disciples will not have much sense of belonging to the sect.
"Elder Qi remembered correctly, the sect does have such a rule."
One of the elders spoke in affirmation. The people present were all cultivators who had been in the sect for thousands of years. Some of the elders who had confiscated disciples had really forgotten this rule.
"That's no problem." Qi Shiyun nodded: "Then Chu Ning shouldn't have to compensate the sect for the medicinal materials for alchemy. My disciple has refined twelve furnaces of elixirs over the years, all of which are different elixirs. It’s all a success.”
After saying that, Qi Shiyun continued walking towards the outside of the hall.
"Elder Qi, wait!"
An elder in the hall spoke. After Qi Shiyun said this, the elders present had already guessed Qi Shiyun's intention.
The sect master and they were all fooled. Elder Qi did it on purpose, just to force the sect master to say that she would not force her disciple to participate in the newcomer competition.
And now Elder Qi is about to leave and deliberately reveals this information, not just to tell them that her disciple's talent in alchemy is higher than they imagined.
In more than ten years, he has refined twelve batches of different elixirs, and all of them have been successful. This talent is even higher than refining a batch of high-grade beauty-preserving elixirs.
If you want to prevent Elder Qi from achieving his goal, you have to stop calling Elder Qi.
But this is impossible.
It is normal for the six peaks of the sect to compete with each other and even have grievances between the elders. However, when it comes to the interests of the sect, all elders are the same and must safeguard the interests of the sect.
If Chu Ning's talent is really much higher than they expected, then Chu Ning must be allowed to participate in this rookie competition.
"What's the matter with Elder Sun?" Qi Shiyun turned around and asked pretending to be confused.
"Ahem, I'm just curious, what is the quality of the twelve furnaces of elixirs refined by your disciple Chu Ning?"
Elder Sun asked with a smile. At this moment, all the elders' eyes were on Qi Shiyun.
"It's not that high quality."
When Xie Jingxing and Chen Yanjing heard this, they felt slightly relieved.
"That is to say, the furnaces are all of ordinary high-grade quality, and there is not even a furnace of top-grade elixirs." Qi Shiyun added.
