Chapter 606: Sect Competition
For his new disciple, Li Qing definitely tried his best.
He gave Li Yuhuan enough pills for her Qi refining period, which was enough for her to make rapid progress in this realm and quickly reach perfection.
In addition, he also selected a Thunder Dao Kung Fu from the sect's Kung Fu Hall that was enough for her to practice to the elixir formation stage, called "Lei Ji Gong"!
Although this exercise is not the top-level cultivation method, it is still quite good. The records in it are quite comprehensive, ranging from Thunder Dao spells to magical powers used in the foundation building stage.
"I see that you don't have a magical weapon on hand yet. Tell me what kind of magical weapon you want, and I will refine one for you."
Li Qing's spiritual peak has reopened a small cave, which is where Li Yuhuan practices daily.
Li Yuhuan's eyes lit up when she heard what her master said, and she immediately said:
"Master, I want a bow-like magical weapon. I have practiced archery for a period of time in the world!"
Li Qing nodded and did not refuse. For him now, refining any magical weapon is just a matter of effort.
But he didn't want Li Yuhuan to develop this habit of getting something for nothing, so Li Qing said:
"I will help you refine a lightning bow later, but there are two conditions. The first is that you collect the materials yourself. I will refine the quality of the magic weapon for you according to the grade of the materials you collected. ”
"The second condition is that within three months of entry, you need to stand out in the competition and become an inner disciple!"
"The number of foundation-building pills in the sect is not large. Even I cannot misappropriate the sect's important materials to you at will."
Hearing this, Li Yuhuan did not show any disappointment. Instead, he asked happily:
"I understand, Master!"
"By the way, Master, do you think that as long as the materials I collect are good enough, I can refine even the best magical weapons?"
Li Yuhuan blinked and looked at Li Qing, looking very expectant.
"Haha, it's natural. You don't need to worry about my master's skill in weapon refining!" Li Qing responded with a chuckle.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Yuhuan clasped his fists excitedly, and then took out a piece of charred wood from the storage bag.
This was somewhat beyond Li Qing's expectation. He didn't expect Li Yuhuan to come up with a weapon refining material so quickly.
But soon, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Hey, this is actually a piece of lightning-struck wood!"
The so-called lightning-struck wood is a material that can be formed from trees struck by lightning.
Ordinary trees are struck by lightning, which is naturally nothing and cannot be used to refine magic weapons.
But if the spiritual tree is struck by lightning, the lightning-strike wood formed in this way can become a material for refining magic weapons.
And the older the spirit tree is, the better the quality of the material is!
Li Qing took the extremely charred piece of wood from Li Yuhuan's hand and couldn't help but nodded and commented:
"Well, this piece of lightning struck wood is in good condition. Although I can't tell what kind of spiritual tree it was when it was alive, it should be about three hundred years old."
"If it can be supplemented by the tendons of some second-level monster beast, it should not be difficult to refine a top-quality magic weapon."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuhuan lowered his head in frustration and said, "Don't tell me whether I can deal with the second-order monster. It's probably not easy to find such a monster in the Qingling Territory now."
"That's something you have to consider yourself. I won't provide you with any help with the refining materials."
"But I can remind you that there are a lot of spiritual materials in the sect's treasury. If you can't find the second-level monsters in the wild, you can also consider accumulating contribution points to exchange them in the treasury."
As he said that, Li Qing suddenly thought that in the warehouse excavated before, there were several tendons of the second-order demon python, which were most suitable to be used as bow strings.
It's just that Li Qing didn't go any further. He didn't plan to give Li Yuhuan any more help, and wanted to use this to hone his opponent's abilities.
The quality of the final magical weapon depends entirely on the spiritual materials collected by Li Yuhuan himself. This is also a test.
Anyway, in Li Qing's eyes, this mere three-hundred-year-old piece of lightning-struck wood is not a precious thing. Although it is rarer, its value is just that.
In this way, after the sect's opening ceremony, Lingyun Sect was finally on the right track.
Various resources are continuously sent to me from various immortal cultivating families, including spiritual stones, spiritual gold, etc. The variety is quite rich.
The wanted hunt for some remnants of the Shangqing Sect was also going on intensively. During this period, some disciples who had the luck to escape were actually found. All of them were captured and sent to the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect to await execution.
As for the sect internally, because of the inner sect competition three months later, all the new disciples stepped up their efforts to perform.
Some people work hard to improve their cultivation, some study various spells to improve their combat effectiveness, and some people camp around to accumulate sect contributions in exchange for magic weapons or talismans in case of emergencies. .
All in all, the entire sect began to prosper as a result.
After all, although it sounds like there is only one word difference between outer disciples and inner disciples, the difference in treatment is not small at all!
First of all, outer disciples receive very few spiritual stones and elixirs on a daily basis, and most of the tasks they receive are hard work with low returns, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and of little profit.
And if you can become an inner disciple, then these benefits will be greatly improved.
In addition, the sect has set up four halls for alchemy, weapons, arrays and talismans. If you want to learn these immortal cultivation skills, you must become an inner disciple! .
Of course, some people come to the sect with skills and know a little bit of alchemy and weapon refining.
For these disciples, the sect has also set very loose conditions for them to become inner disciples.
If they cannot stand out in the inner sect competition, these people can also go to various halls to pass the assessment of refining weapons or alchemy, and they can also become inner disciples through this channel.
However, if you become an inner disciple in this way, you will lose one benefit, that is, you will not be able to obtain the foundation-building pill awarded by the sect!
After all, the foundation-building pill is only a reward for those core disciples who pass the inner sect competition!
Of course, if these people with immortal cultivation skills really pass the assessment and become inner disciples, it will become much easier to accumulate contributions in the future, and the possibility of obtaining the foundation-building pill is still very high.
In short, Lingyun Sect has set up a very perfect promotion path for low-level disciples.
As long as you are a useful person, you don't have to worry about not being appreciated. Whether it is the secondary cultivation of refining tools or alchemy or other immortal cultivation skills, there will be a place for you to use your skills.
Especially now that there are two Jindan ancestors in Lingyun Sect, who are good at refining tools and drawing talismans respectively, they all know how important it is to have an immortal cultivation skill, so they will naturally not treat them unfairly.
In this way, during these three months, all the new disciples have been very busy and fulfilling.
With the help of the abundant spiritual environment and various resources in the sect, some people have shown unparalleled cultivation talents and their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.
Most people have entered the realm of the late stage of Qi Refining, and some have even stepped onto the steps of the ninth and tenth levels of the Qi Refining Stage. They are full of confidence in getting a place as an inner disciple.
During this period, Li Yuhuan finally collected a python tendon.
This is a Qingming python in the late stage of the first stage. Its python tendons are extremely flexible and can be regarded as a good material for refining magic tools.
"Master, I have tried my best to get only one python tendon like this during this period." Li Yuhuan handed the arc-long green python tendon to Li Qing in frustration.
"Well, a late-stage Qingming python is pretty good." Li Qing nodded, and then continued: "Come back in two days to get the magic weapon."
"Thank you, Master!" Li Yuhuan nodded respectfully.
Two days later, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Li Qing's cave.
Soon, two spiritual energy vortices suddenly formed between the surrounding heaven and earth, and poured directly into Li Qing's cave.
[Successfully refined a top-grade magic weapon: Thunder Bow, rewarded with 18 years of life! ]
[Successfully refined a top-grade magic weapon: Thunder Arrow, rewarded with 20 years of life! ]
Yes, in these two days, Li Qing not only refined a top-grade magic weapon Thunder Bow, but also specially refined an arrow for his disciple!
The grade of an arrow is a top-grade magic weapon. When used together with the lightning bow, which is also a top-grade magic weapon, its power will definitely not be inferior to that of a top-grade magic weapon.
"Xiao Huan, come to my cave!" Li Qing sent a divine thought to a cave on the hillside of Lingfeng Mountain.
Li Yuhuan had already sensed the movement above Lingfeng Mountain just now. She was overjoyed and rushed to her master's cave.
"Master, is my magic weapon ready?"
Looking at his disciple's expectant expression, Li Qing chuckled and said:
"Take it. As long as you put the bowstring on this lightning bow, you can inject your own lightning attribute magic power, so that the arrows shot out will carry the power of lightning, and the lethality is quite good!"
As he said, Li Qing threw the lightning bow to his disciple.
Li Yuhuan took the black bow with great surprise. The black bow was engraved with inconspicuous dark purple veins, which spread to the green bowstring to form a whole.
After receiving the Lightning Bow, Li Yuhuan could not wait to try to pull the bowstring.
When the bowstring was slightly stretched, she felt the magic power in her body faintly flowing out and injected into the big bow.
On the black bow, the dark purple veins glowed with spiritual light, as if they contained a secret power.
"Thank you, Master!"
This bow was very easy to pull, and Li Yuhuan couldn't stop smiling.
But this was not over yet. Next, Li Qing took out another slender arrow.
This was a dark purple arrow, with a unified spiritual pattern engraved from the arrowhead to the tail.
After seeing the arrow that Li Qing took out, Li Yuhuan's eyes lit up, and she felt that she was about to be overwhelmed by happiness.
"Master, is this spiritual arrow also for me?"
"Hahaha, with it, I will definitely be able to win the first place in this inner sect competition!"
But Li Qing shook his head and said:
"You are dreaming. This thunder arrow is a matching magic weapon for the Thunder Bow. It is also of the top grade. If it is combined together, its power is not inferior to the top grade magic weapon."
"It is really bullying others to let you take it to the inner sect competition."
"If you want it, then get the top three in the inner sect competition, and I will reward it to you!"
The top three in the inner sect competition! Must get it!
Li Yuhuan's eyes showed a firm look, and then he said to Li Qing: "Disciple will definitely live up to Master's trust!"
After hearing this, Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and said: "Well, you can go back first. The small competition will start in two days. You should do your best."
After the voice fell, Li Qing sent his apprentice away and asked her to go back to prepare for the small competition.
Although she was a registered disciple, Li Qing was actually quite good to his niece and apprentice. At least he could not easily obtain such good practice resources when he was in the Qi Refining Stage.
Looking at Li Yuhuan's leaving figure, Li Qing whispered softly: "Brother, you take good care of your parents in the underworld, and leave your niece to me."
Two days later, the inner sect small competition finally began.
This time, the Jindan ancestor did not show up, but was hosted by the foundation building elders of Lingyun Sect.
However, everyone understands that although there is no Jindan ancestor, there will definitely be Jindan ancestors paying attention to this inner sect small competition.
Just because Li Yuhuan, the registered disciple of Wuji Patriarch, will also participate!
Therefore, many people are ready to perform well in the small competition, hoping to attract the attention of Wuji Patriarch!
What if the Patriarch is optimistic about them and they become his registered disciples? That would be a step to heaven!
Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Li Qing doesn't care about this kind of small competition among sects at all. No matter who stands out, he will not pay too much attention to it, let alone accept another registered disciple.
Compared with these, Li Qing is more concerned about the blood lotus seeds he planted.
"Tsk, although the blood lotus seeds have taken root, they have not sprouted. It's really strange."
"Is it to be planted in water?"
The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth is quite strong. Logically speaking, since the lotus seeds have taken root, they should also sprout!
Li Qing frowned slightly, but thought of some scenes in the Blood Lotus Sect.
"Could it be that this thing must be nourished by blood essence to grow?"
But where can he find so much blood essence now?
Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, thinking seriously.
Soon, he raised his head and looked at the vast and boundless sea in the east.
If you want to cultivate this strange blood lotus, you may really need enough blood essence to serve as its nutrients.
And where does the blood essence come from?
The thing that is least lacking in the boundless sea is sea beasts!
"In this case, I have to transplant it back to the cave. I just don't know what I will get after spending so much effort to cultivate it."
In this way, Li Qing transplanted the blood lotus planted in front of the cave to the medicine field in a secret dark room inside his cave.
In the future, it may be nourished by blood essence, so it is naturally not good to display it openly.
After doing all this, the small competition in the sect finally came to an end.
Twenty people were selected to enter the sect. These people will be rewarded with a foundation-building pill and can start building their foundation at any time.
As for Li Qing's disciple Li Yuhuan, she successfully won the second place in the competition with her thunder spirit root and the top-grade magic weapon Thunder Bow.
It is worth mentioning that she lost to the drug-taking young man in white again. This man is called Jiang Han. This time he completely made a name for himself in the sect and was in the limelight for a while.
Although she successfully entered the top three, Li Yuhuan was not satisfied with the result.
"Master, I only got the second place this time. I lost to Jiang Han again." Li Yuhuan said dejectedly.
In the cave, Li Qing said nonchalantly:
"There are always people who are better than you in the world of immortal cultivation, and even as a teacher, I dare not say that I will not be defeated."
"Second place is already quite good, you must adjust your mentality, do not be arrogant, and do not belittle yourself."
"This thunder arrow is given to you!"
After receiving the thunder arrow, Li Yuhuan's slightly gloomy mood was instantly swept away.
"Thank you, Master, for the arrow!"
"."
After the inner sect competition was over, Lingyun Sect finally had some free time, at least there was nothing to deal with in the short term.
And Li Qing also calmed down and put his energy into cultivation.
Unfortunately, now that he is in the middle stage of Jindan, relying only on meditation to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the progress of cultivation is really slow.
In this regard, Li Qing did not feel very discouraged, knowing that this is a very normal thing.
During this period, he always looked at the boundless sea, his inner thoughts were ups and downs, and the ideas in his mind were also flickering, just like the ebb and flow of the sea.
Now that Lingyun Sect has been rebuilt, his cultivation career has finally opened a new chapter.
He recalled the scenes when he first entered Lingyun Sect. At that time, a fairy ascending meeting had just ended, and he successfully entered the sect with a fairy ascending order.
Then he experienced a series of things in the sect, and finally encountered a disaster and was completely destroyed by the Chi Mo clan and Shangqing Sect.
"When I first entered the sect, I was only in the Qi Refining Stage, but now I have become a patriarch. This change is really huge!"
Li Qing sighed, and had a real feeling about the passage of time.
"Huh, the road is long!"
Volume 4, The Wind and Cloud of the Immortal Sect, finished!
