Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 161 The Current Situation of the Ten Disciples
  Tianjiao Tower, which is affiliated to Qingyun Mountain Merit Hall.

This is the largest place in the entire Qingyun Mountain. It is a place with a high level of consumption and the most satisfactory environment and various services.

The services include various news and unique elixirs, various delicacies cooked by ferocious beasts, spiritual plants, etc.

Tianjiaolou's food has recently reached a new level. Five of the top ten in the Baiyi Competition were recruited by Tianjiaolou.

Spiritual chefs, spiritual chefs, etc., even old wines and fruit wines are sold here.

It can also be said that the recruited monks of various arts have greatly supplemented the growth of some industries affiliated with the Hall of Merit.

"Dong dong!"

In a private room near the window, you can look down at the beautiful scenery of Qingyun Mountain.

Beside the window, Wu Gang and Jin Ning were communicating.

Hearing the knock on the door, Wu Gang said: "Come in."

"Creak" the door opened, and three people came in. They were Taoist Master Ma, Du Ming and Zhao Long.

The five people have two identities. Taoist leader Ma and Du Ming are currently the top leaders of the Taoist sect, while Jin Ning, Wu Gang, and Zhao Long are the current top leaders of the Martial Arts Alliance.

But they also have another identity, they are the top ten disciples of Master Xuan.

It's been a long time since we got together. The New Year is approaching, and in addition to the previous Baiyi Competition, it happened that they were all in Qingyun Mountain.

Five other people.

The identities of Yan Lai, Jiutong, Minghui and Sun Hui are too sensitive.

The four of them crowded together would trigger unnecessary associations.

These four people were not invited. They were all their bosses or seniors. It was too depressing to call these four people here.

Besides, the four of them were very busy, and unlike themselves and others, they couldn't spare some time to get together.

The last one, Song Hongliang, did not attend the gathering because he was still in the blood moon world.

This time it was just the five of them in Qingyun Mountain.

"Everyone is here, sit down, sit down. It's been a long time since we got together."

Wu Gang is the initiator of this event and invites everyone to sit down.

"Yes, several months." Taoist Master Ma said after sitting down.

After a brief exchange, Taoist Master Ma said: "I heard that your Martial Arts League just finished its meeting, year-end summary?"

Although they belong to two companies, there is fierce competition.

But the other identities of the five of them allow the five of them to break the constraints of the two major forces and exchange some information that is not considered a secret of their respective forces.

"It's the end of the year, so I've made some rules by the way." Speaking of which, Wu Gang asked: "By the way, are there many people in your Nanshi Gym?"

"Why aren't there more? Your martial arts alliance is spread all over the world. Although our gyms are not as numerous as yours, there are still quite a few. Gym members from all over the world come to make pilgrimages every day." Taoist priest Ma said.

"Oh? How did you solve it?" Jin Ning asked with interest.

"How to solve it? Of course it is screening. We will try our best to draw them into the Taoist sect if they are talented or have good abilities. We will ignore the rest." Taoist Master Ma said.

"No?" Jin Ning asked in confusion: "Didn't your Taoist tacitly acknowledge the gym? It is a branch of your Taoist sect? How can you ignore it?"

"You also said acquiescence. It is acquiescence, not an upright admission. This acquiescence can be used flexibly. For example, if someone is talented, we will recruit him.

If your talent or your character or your will is not up to your standards, we will naturally not care. If you don't care, will we be treated as fools? "

"what?"

Jin Ning was stunned: "That's it."

Seeing Jin Ning's expression and Wu Gang's frown, Taoist Master Ma continued:

"Is it because there are too many martial arts monks coming to Nan City? In order to inherit the resources of the martial arts gym, you chose to recognize the various martial arts gyms as your branches. So now there are too many martial arts monks coming, and even conflicts have arisen. You are starting to feel uncomfortable. ?”

The two of them didn't reply, but with dejected looks, Daoist Ma and Du Ming knew that they had guessed correctly.

"If we don't say that your background is not good, you are far behind our Taoist sect. Even if we don't accept the various gyms, we are still a big force, but you can't do it. If you don't accept the various martial arts gyms, you will just be a small martial arts gym in Nan City. .”

Du Ming also answered: "You can't accept it. If you accept it, you will get benefits, but you will also have to bear the disadvantages. This is inevitable."

"It's not bad." Wu Gang shook his head and said:

"It's just that the rules were not formulated at the beginning, and there were a few bugs. But this is the only way to go. Every force has to go through it when it starts. I don't think it's a big deal.

The advantage is even greater. The advantage is that we have no shortage of manpower, and we can screen out those who are worthy of the effort. After some forging and tempering, we will become an elite monk. "

Director Ma nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. Your previous management was too rough and you underestimated human nature too much. Presumably there are many so-called moths involved in the elite of your headquarters, right?"

"Stop talking about this, let's talk about your sect, why didn't you see the summary meeting?"

Wu Gang stopped talking.

Besides, it’s to expose one’s own family.

"We..." Seeing that Wu Gang didn't say anything, Taoist Master Ma didn't ask further questions. Instead, he replied: "All plans are being implemented. There is no need to hold a summary meeting. Our internal system is very systematic and smooth."

This is the foundation of a great sect that has a long-lasting foundation.

"What do you think about Yuan Tianchun being accepted as a registered disciple by Master Xuan?"

As the exchange deepened, Zhao Long asked.

This is a recent sensation in Qingyun Mountain, and as the top ten disciples, they are very concerned about it.

Strictly speaking, Yuan Tianchun bowed three times and kowtowed to Master Xuan, and Master Xuan did not stop him.

Although they are among the top ten disciples, they are still entry-level disciples.

But Master Xuan never accepted their apprenticeship ceremony.

Even if Master Xuan has admitted it, after all, there is no ceremony, and it always feels incomplete without the ceremony.

Although not long ago he said he had a preference for ten people.

When the ten of them reach the tenth level of melting the law and refining the mind, Master Xuan will help them reach the eleventh level of melting the law and refining the mind.

But, it’s still a ceremony.

Without the apprenticeship ceremony, it just feels incomplete.

Perhaps the ceremony was still formalistic before, but after the strange recovery and the gathering of Qingyun Mountain's luck, the ceremony became very important.

If they worship Xuanhuang three times and kowtow nine times, their luck will be even stronger.

"What do you think? Master Xuan's emphasis on Baiyi is worth pondering. As entry-level disciples, we may also need to make some progress in this aspect."

Taoist Master Ma continued: "I don't want to be told that a great disciple of Master Xuan has not learned any of Master Xuan's traditions. He only knows how to practice but does not carry forward Master Xuan's traditions."

The so-called Taoism is the entire essence of a patriarch.

Xuanhuang's Taoism is his three fundamental methods and the creation of some hundreds of arts.

If a disciple only learns the cultivation method from the teacher and does not carry forward the teacher's orthodoxy, he will definitely be rejected.

It can be compared to the prehistoric times and the Three Pure dynasties.

The leader of the Tongtian Sect is invincible in formation swordsmanship, and his disciples are also masters of formations and swordsmanship.

Yuanshi Tianzun is the strongest in refining weapons and talismans, and his disciples are all founders of the sect in terms of weapon refining and talismans.

"Master Xuan..." Zhao Long shook his head depressedly. Master Xuan is too exaggerated. He knows everything, and everyone is the founder of Taoism.

What should I do myself?
  I am really just good at cultivation.

Seeing the frowning expressions of the three members of the Martial Arts Alliance, Taoist Master Ma thought from the perspective of fellow disciples, rather than the identities of the two major forces.

He said: "The magical power of gold and fire in the furnace of heaven and earth that you have comprehended is very good at refining weapons and elixirs, and martial arts is the way of conquest and the way of defeating enemies. I wonder if you have heard of the discussion between your chief executive and Wang Zihao?"

"Senior brother, are you talking about the Qi Sea Sacrifice Refining Technique?" Zhao Long asked, and all the senior brothers called him.

"No, no, no, I'm not a senior brother. Don't scream. Our senior brother is Jin Ning. Haha..." Taoist Master Ma looked at Jin Ning and said with a smile.

Jing Ning smiled and felt embarrassed, remembering the days when he was deceived by these old foxes.

"Master Ma, don't say those nonsense, continue." Jin Ning said with a blush.

"Okay." Taoist Master Ma continued: "After the black gold appeared, why did you, General Manager Sun Hui, go to Xu Chaoju immediately? Didn't you see the emergence of black gold? Combined with Wang Zihao's conjecture, General Manager Sun Hui saw a feasible way. . I think this is your opportunity too.”

Zhao Long, Jin Ning, and Wu Gang were silent.

Regarding the attacks of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, there are currently three monks that can borrow them.

One is the ability to swallow, the second is the gold and fire attack, and the third is the ability to suppress and seal.

This is a means of attack, defense is another matter.

As Taoist Master Ma said, they have used the golden fire attack many times, and it is indeed an extraordinary fire power.

Before, I only thought about killing enemies.

But Taoist Master Ma is right, why can't you refine weapons when killing enemies?

Golden Fire is a weakened version of the branch of Samadhi True Fire.

The reason why it is a branch is that the combination of essence fire, air fire, and divine fire is the true fire of samadhi.

Currently it is just a weakened version of Essence Fire.

It is said that the mature version is the third level of essence fire.

Then the third level essence fire, the third level qi fire, and the third level divine fire are combined into the fourth level samadhi true fire.

But the first level is also extraordinary!

Taoist Master Ma added: "The sacrificial refining method is very suitable for you. After you obtain the black gold, you can smelt it with the gold fire in the furnace and use your own thoughts to refining it, thus embarking on the path of weapon refining."

"But this kind of sacrifice can only be used to refine one's own magic weapon, right? It can't be done like a weapon refiner, right?" Wu Gang asked.

"Don't be so ambitious. You can refine your natal magic weapon first. Maybe in the process of refining your natal magic weapon, you have figured out other methods of refining it? You can refine your natal magic weapon. I don't believe in ordinary weapons. no."

The three of them nodded sharply after hearing this.

As Taoist Ma said, just start, don't aim too high.

It’s better to have a start than to have no idea at all.

"In addition, the existence of divine fire is the greatest help for you martial arts monks. Divine fire is required for refining weapons, but not for elixir refining? Should you use your own strengths according to your own strengths?" Taoist Master Ma reminded again.

The eyes of the three of them were shining brightly, and their joy was undisguised.

I toasted to Taoist Master Ma frequently and thanked him for his suggestions.

Alchemy and tools are already in place, so take your time.

"Where are you, Taoist Master?" Wu Gang asked.

Elder Ma Dao said calmly: "Pin Dao has researched on alchemy and talismans. In addition to the magical power of Tongtian Jianmu, Lao Dao has also researched on the cultivation of spiritual plants and elixirs. At present, Lao Dao is making progress in these three aspects, and is also working with wild people. Taoist fellow Taoists have communicated and studied animal bone talismans together."

Taoist Master Ma is really knowledgeable and has no worries at all.

"Where is fellow Taoist Du Ming?" Wu Gang asked again.

"Pindao has researched on puppets, and combined them with Jianmu, the king of all spirits, to control Wanzhi. In addition, I have some friendship with Taoist friend Wang Zihao, and I am communicating with him about the cultivation of spiritual plants, and I also use Jianmu's reincarnation ability."

Both have their own specialties and hobbies.

Wu Gang and the other three were a little embarrassed, no wonder they were rude to Wu Fu.

Although Xuanhuang's method has made up for it now, compared with Qi refining and God refining monks, he is still a bit rough and crazy.

"Let me remind you, cultivation and cultivation are still the first goals. Don't lose the big for the small. Alchemy, talismans, etc. are just means, cultivation is the key. Don't spend time on hundreds of arts just because of face, and Forgetting that one’s own cultivation is the key.”

The eldest, Taoist Master Ma still reminded him.

I am afraid that they will lose a lot due to small things.

"Don't worry, Taoist Master Ma, we'll save it. We should practice silent exercises in Baiyi to temper our body and mind. We won't care about one thing at the expense of the other, or lose something big because of something small."

"Ah That's good."

……

Currently, there are ten of them.

Even Jin Ning and Song Hongliang, who have the lowest cultivation levels, are already at the seventh level of body refining.

In other words, the ten major disciples have all entered the late stage with their fortunes gathered together and no shortage of resources and experience.

The difference is the strength of the refining intention.

The three strongest Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are already at the eighth level of Qi Refining and Spirit Refining, close to the ninth level. They are at the seventh level of Fusion of Laws and Intentions, and their Intention Refining has also entered the late stage.

Next is Sun Hui, who is on the seventh level of body refining, but only on the sixth level of fusion of method and mind, and has not reached the late stage of mind refining.

Then there is Taoist Master Ma, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining and has just entered the sixth level of Fusion of Laws and Intentions, which is worse than Sun Hui.

Du Ming and Zhao Long are both at the seventh level of Qi and Body Refining, and the sixth level of Magic Fusion and Intention Refining, similar to Taoist Master Ma.

The weakest remaining ones are Wu Gang, Jin Ning, and Song Hongliang.

The talents and background of the three are the weakest.

Fortunately, I have followed Xuanhuang for a long time, so it is not bad.

Of the three of them, Wu Gang is the strongest, at the seventh level of body refining, and at the fifth level of magic fusion and mind refining.

Jin Ning is on the seventh level of body refining, and the fourth level of method fusion and mind refining, which is still less than the fifth level.

Song Hongliang's body refining is also at the seventh level, but his method fusion and mind refining have just reached the fifth level.

Overall, Jin Ning is the weakest.

But the others are all over forty years old, and Wu Gang, the youngest, is exactly forty years old.

Jin Ning is two years older than Xuan Huang, only twenty-six years old.

He is the youngest, has the least foundation, and has the least accumulation. In the initial stage, he is the first to comprehend and complete the visualization diagram.

But now he is the weakest among the ten.

Everyone else is cashing in on their previous accumulation and foundation, but Jinning is the only one who cannot cash in because there is none.

This is the current situation of the top ten disciples.
