Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 151 Beginning

In the Hall of Merit.

Looking at the strange forty or fifty people, Sun Tong knew for the first time that there were so many different arts.

But thinking of Xuanhuang's instructions, she said, "Do you have any regrets in not letting you participate in this competition?"

These people were not high in cultivation and introverted in character, so after Sun Tong asked, no one stood up to answer on behalf of everyone.

Sun Tong was well prepared and continued: "Master Xuan said that Qingyun Mountain is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized, and the future is infinitely bright.

But the initial stage inevitably requires reconstruction. You are all talents, so don’t care about temporary gains and losses. Cultivation is a road with no end in sight. Don’t fight for a moment, we fight for a lifetime. "

"So, let me ask again, are you willing to join the Hall of Merit?"

"willing."

"I am willing."

It was impossible not to speak at this moment, so everyone spoke one after another.

"Very good. Since you have all chosen to join, I welcome you on behalf of Master Xuan. We will all be colleagues from now on, so don't be too nervous.

The Hall of Merit is the department that manages Qingyun Mountain for Master Xuan. From now on, your resources will be allocated according to your contribution..."

Sun Tong told everyone the rules again.

"Now, start registering one by one according to your specialties. Then you can tell me what resources and materials you need. If I can't solve it, there are still Xuan Masters, and you can also publish tasks to the outside world.

In short, I will try my best to meet everyone's requirements, and your job is to practice and study Baiyi. "

Sun Tong looked at everyone's cultivation level again. Generally speaking, it was very low. However, the poisonous and witchcraft skills were still the highest, which was only at the third level.

As for the monks on Qingyun Mountain, except for the Hall of Merit and Virtue, the service staff of all major forces all start at the fourth level.

That's right, even the service personnel of the four major forces start on the fourth floor.

Because Qingyun Mountain condenses luck and faith, as long as you stay here, you will be pushed by luck and faith.

Therefore, the major forces can only select the best from the best, and service personnel also start at the fourth level.

Besides, the so-called service is actually very simple.

When spiritual talismans have spiritual plants, magic plants, and ferocious beast furs as materials, some simple talismans are no longer so precious among big forces.

For example, dust removal talismans, cleaning talismans, etc. are the main talismans for leveling up by talisman masters. Talisman masters in major forces will start with these simple talismans.

Therefore, many such talismans will be accumulated.

Very cheap, even cheaper to buy in-house.

You don't even need points. After all, you are practicing. The materials are provided by the big forces for you to practice. However, the talisman you drew will be taken back by the big forces, or taken back in proportion, such as one to nine.

A simple talisman can complete a day's work without delaying the master's practice.

Therefore, after selecting the best among the best, Qingyun Mountain has now entered the fourth level.

Even in the Hall of Merit, it has reached the starting four levels.

Regardless of the talent of the empresses recruited by Sun Tong, this is compared to Qingyun Mountain where there are numerous kings.

Compared with the monks in Nanshi, the ladies in Merit Hall are not inferior in talent.

What's more, the luck and belief blessing here are much stronger than those of casual cultivators, and even the big forces dare not compare.

In other words, the leaders of big forces can compare their luck with the people in the Hall of Merit and Virtue.

There is no shortage of elixirs and exercises, so they naturally make rapid progress.

Sun Tong, the strongest, is now at the seventh level of body refining and the fourth level of law fusion and mind refining.

With Xuanhuang occasionally cooking for her, and Jianmu taking her to experience God's will, Sun Tong's cultivation level is no less than the top ten figures from all major forces.

She also refined the wisdom of the Annunciation Crow. Strictly speaking, if Sun Tong borrowed the ability of the Annunciation Crow, her true strength would rank in the top five in Qingyun Mountain.

The only ones who are threatening are Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Looking at these Baiyi cultivators, Sun Tong felt that the average cultivation level of Merit Hall had been lowered again.

Therefore, he said: "Although you are experts in hundreds of arts, don't forget your cultivation. Remember that cultivation is everything. Without strong cultivation, everything is empty talk. An advanced master of hundreds of arts cannot make a first-level extraordinary skill."

These words made everyone blush.

Only when you climb Qingyun Mountain do you know how many masters there are.

Anyway, walking from the bottom of the mountain, I met many monks, and each monk gave him the feeling of being overwhelmed by the top of the mountain.

"Yes."

Everyone knows their shortcomings, and the general manager’s education is right.

"Okay, let's get familiar with each other for a while. Then..." Sun Tong said with a smile: "Then the first benefit of joining the Hall of Merit is here. We can enter the dreamland at will to watch the competition of this competition."

Today is their entry day and the start of the Qingyun Mountain Hundred Arts Competition.

Currently, the most anticipated event in Qingyun Mountain is naturally the upcoming competition.

To watch the first round of competition, each monk needs to spend one point, and one point can only watch ten monks' dream bubbles.

So if you want to see more, you still need to continue spending money.

But the Hall of Merit does not need these.

Sun Tong and others will also participate in the meeting, and Gongde Hall will serve as the supervisor of this meeting.

Although in the dream, there is a dream gate that controls everything and no one can cheat.

But there still have to be procedures, and if someone is absolutely unfair, you can report it to yourself.

You can even report the four major forces.

call!
  The rookies who had just joined the job, after being given a lecture by General Manager Sun, returned to the homes of the employees of the Gongde Hall not far away.

Then he immediately fell asleep and watched the start of the competition.

……

Time and space shift.

In the dream gate, the monks who competed and the monks who paid to watch all entered the dream.

From the outside, there are countless flashing bubbles, and each bubble is a monk.

The bubbles formed a large lake like a lake. In the center of the lake, a figure appeared, it was Wang Zihao.

He was pulled out of his dream bubble by the dream door, and then the dream door transformed into a hosting platform, with Wang Zihao standing on the stage.

There is no audience under the stage... there is no humanoid audience.

But there are dense bubbles, and the dream bubbles are monks.

The monks looked at Wang Zihao on the stage from their own dream bubbles, which was like actually looking at the stage from the audience, even more clearly.

And it's not crowded. Everyone has their own dream bubble. It's a big space and not crowded at all.

And here, the bubble is opened up by the door of dreams to the ability to communicate.

The outside world can distinguish people by looking at them, but the telepathic identification here is more accurate than looking at people.

I saw only a few bubbles surrounding each other.

"You can only watch ten points per point. I heard that there are nearly ten thousand people participating in this event. If I watch them all, I won't have enough points." A bubble made waves. "You can finish watching everyone, just watch what you care about. Or just watch the exciting competitions of major projects. Can you watch it all?" said a bubble nearby.

"I said? Why are there so many people participating? I thought there were not many people, but there are nearly 10,000 people."

"Mainly, the monks from Nan City can also participate. The number of people in Qingyun Mountain is currently balanced, with a full count of 30,000 people, just not too much.

It will not increase in the future, but there are many in Nanshi, and monks are constantly coming. I heard that in Nanshi today, the number of advanced monks alone is nearly 300,000. Think about it. "

"Good guy, it's been a long time since I went down to Qingyun Mountain to Nanshi. Are there so many people?"

"Nan City continues to expand and never stops. The urban area continues to grow. I heard from friends that it is expected that in the next few years, when the number of monks reaches one million, they will enter the Qingyun Mountain model, and those who cannot gain a foothold will withdraw from Nan City."

"With so many people, it wouldn't be enough if all the monks from Xia Kingdom came, right?"

One bubble asked, the ratio between monks and ordinary people is one in a thousand, and one in a thousand people has the talent for cultivation.

That means one billion people.

The entire Xia Kingdom does not necessarily have one billion people at present.

"It can't be calculated like this. One thousandth is other places. Although Nan City does not have the concentration of luck and belief blessing like Qingyun Mountain, it is much better than other places. The current ratio of monks in Nan City is 500 to one, which is higher than the average One thousandth is less than half.”

The man added: "Besides, this is a plan for the next ten years, and it cannot be achieved in a short time. Besides, don't forget the small world, everyone.

From now on, the creatures in the small world will also make a pilgrimage to Qingyun Mountain and then settle in Nanshi.

...I don’t think there are many monks with one million people. If the small world is more connected, it won’t be surprising that there are tens of millions of monks in Nanshi. "

Everyone was stunned.

"It's really possible when you say that. It makes sense if the time is extended by ten years. Nanshi is indeed different and better than other places."

In the entire Blue Star, the ratio of monks is about one thousandth, and in some places it may be several thousand to one.

Nanshi's current ratio is 500 to one, but this is because there are too many monks coming, so Nanshi can neutralize it.

The indigenous residents of Nan City are still being condensed and transformed by luck. Some old people cannot transform much, but newborns and children will be pushed by luck and develop talents for cultivation.

That's what changes from field to field.

There are monks around you all day long. When there are more monks, their own aura will change the surrounding environment.

"Of these ten thousand people participating, at least half will be eliminated after one round, and at most one thousand will be left after the second round. The last one thousand people will be the peak showdown of the five major categories, as well as some smaller categories."

"I heard that the magic potion Zhang Huaque, the madman Yuan Tianchun, the chemical engineering doctor, the wild Taoist priest, etc. have all participated. The masters from the big forces have also come out. I don't know if I can place a bet. I am optimistic about the madman Yuan Tianchun."

There is a monk.

"Qingyun Mountain is not good, but there is a handicap in Nanshi that you can bet on. However, it is useless to bet on Yuan Tianchun. There are not many people participating in the formation method. He is also much better than the others, and the one who opens the handicap is not stupid. , there may be a handling fee if you invest in Yuan Tianchun."

"Yes, there is a tit-for-tat confrontation between masters of elixirs and big forces and magic medicine Zhang Huaque, and Talisman is a fierce comparison between doctors of chemical engineering, wild Taoists, and major forces, especially Confucianism. Is it a formation? Not many people participated, and Yuan Tianchun came out forcefully too much."

There are still handicaps, and there are gamblers everywhere, and they can't be banned.

"What about beast control? Who do you like?"

The five major projects this time are elixir, weapon, talisman, control, and spirit, but what everyone is most concerned about is the elixir, beast control, and spiritual plant. Although there are three major techniques released by Xuanhuang.

Unfortunately, the time is too short and there has not been much breakthrough yet.

The ones who are favored in terms of beast control are Sun Bole and the others from the Beast Control Sect.

Everyone was optimistic about the planting and cultivation of spiritual plants. Unfortunately, Wang Zihao was the host and could not participate this time.

What remains is the competition between the major forces.

The major forces have strengths in every aspect, but everyone prefers to see geniuses emerge from casual cultivators, which may be more immersive.

-

"Hello fellow Taoists, I am Wang Zihao, the host of this competition. Thank you all for your participation... Under the supreme instruction of Master Xuan, the supervision of Merit Hall, and the four major forces... A total of 9739 people participated in this competition, including 2034 alchemists. , Talisman 3637 people..."

With Wang Zihao's introduction, the competition officially began.

When everyone heard that there were 3637 people participating in the Talisman Festival, they were surprised that so many people participated.

Could it be that everyone who knows a little bit about how to draw talismans has participated?

Talisman is the most complete one in Xuanhuang's creation system, and it is also the one that has been popularized very early, so it has the most.

Secondly, alchemy, this existed before Xuanhuang established Qingyun Mountain, so there are many.

Originally there were more, but this still eliminated the previous assembly line products such as Dahuan Dan. The participants this time were all monks of Qingyun Mountain's new alchemy method.

It is no longer an assembly line, but the refining of a personal alchemy furnace.

I don’t know if it’s progress or regression.

But if you want to refine the elixirs that monks need, especially new elixirs, there is really no assembly line. It all depends on their control capabilities.

Maybe streamlining will gradually become more common in the future, but it’s not possible yet.

Those participating in the competition all have their own special skills, which are difficult to streamline and they are still exploring.

"It's begun, it's begun."

When Wang Zihao gave the order, the monks participating in the alchemy began the first round of competition.

Countless lights appeared in their dream bubbles, and then the lights flickered and turned into elixirs that looked extremely real.

The first step is to identify. Each type needs to be carefully identified, and the properties of the medicine and the direction of meridian tropism should be stated. If you are capable enough, you can also tell the rise and fall, as well as the preparation method. In short, it is very personalized.

As the center, the Dream Gate will select the top 1,000 people in the alchemy competition and then proceed to the second round.

The same is true for talismans, but the comparison is not about identifying elixirs, but about directly operating them.

Start with simple charms and work your way up to more difficult ones.

In the first round of Talisman, two people in particular attracted everyone's attention.

One is a wild Taoist priest, and the other is a doctor of chemical engineering.

When everyone saw the comparison of drawing talismans, someone murmured dissatisfiedly: "I beat these two people, but how can I compete in drawing talisman? Their specialty is studying new materials. Can they compare to the masters of the major forces in drawing talisman?"

Many people were dissatisfied when they found out that this was a competition.

"What's the competition for the Talisman Competition? Why don't you tell me what it's for?"

"But, but, they, they..." The man hesitated.

Indeed, what is the talisman competition if it is not better than the talisman competition?
  Than innovation?

You can experiment and innovate with elixirs, you can innovate with talisman materials, but what about innovating talisman spiritual patterns?

Three hundred and sixty-five runes are the basic runes deduced by Xuanhuang.

As I said before, runes are a condensation of rules, and it requires masters to sum up their insights and then work backwards.

It is impossible for a weak person to deduce the spiritual patterns condensed by rules.

So, it seems that the two of them innovated the material, but strictly speaking it's really not a big deal.

What is precious to them is their ability to constantly research, such as the rune magic weapon that the chemical doctor wants, the talisman treasure that the wild Taoist wants to study, etc.

This is where the genius of the two people is reflected. When they competed in drawing talismans, they really couldn't compare to the powerful old talisman master.
