Xianjue

Chapter 173
Leaving Elder Wan Jian's cave, Yu Xiu didn't waste any time, most of the time he hid in the cave to practice, only Little Panda sometimes couldn't bear the loneliness and would sneak out to play.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, which meant that when Xiu went out again, his strength had already reached the peak of the early stage of foundation establishment, especially the advice given to him by Elder Wan Jian before, which benefited him a lot.

And at this time, Liang Zhi also approached the door, seeing Yu Xiu who had finally left the customs, Liang Zhi also laughed and scolded: "Old Jiu, you are more and more like the old seven and the old eight. If you have nothing to do, just hide in the cave and practice."

Yu Xiu also chuckled: "Third senior brother, my strength is still very weak. If I don't hurry up to practice, I will only be thrown further and further away by you senior brothers. And if I don't take advantage of this time to practice more, in case I get caught by those people again in the future." What should I do if the surging disciple comes to the door?"

"Come on, now almost all the disciples of Xuanqingmen are scolding you for being a coward. After hiding for so long, no one has responded to the challenge. Those who have called the challenge have also issued the challenge, standing in front of your door and scolding you!" Even scolded, but also really calm enough."

Liangzhi also sighed and said.

"Ahem, senior brother, haven't you heard a saying? Only by enduring hardships can you become a master." Yu Xiu said with a serious face.

"Damn, old nine, what kind of fallacy are you talking about? It's obvious that you have to endure hardships to become a master." Liangzhi rolled his eyes directly.

"Forget it, forget it, stop joking with you boy, what about the old seven and the eighth, those two guys haven't come out yet?" Liangzhi also looked at the other two caves not far away.

"I don't know about that, don't you know if you knock on the door?" Yu Xiu also grinned, then shrugged.

"Hmph, don't ask, these two guys must have forgotten again." Liang Zhi said through gritted teeth, then walked quickly to the two caves, and shouted loudly: "Lao Qi Lao Ba, it's time to leave the customs." gone."

After a while, the two caves were opened, Xiao Lin and Si Pei both looked at Liang Zhi resentfully, Xiao Lin even said: "Brother, don't you know that shouting like this can easily drive us cultivators into a mad state? "

Liangzhi just gave him a blank look: "Demented? I think if you don't come out again, I'm afraid you really are deranged."

Si Pei glanced at Liang Zhi with a wry smile, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what day is it today, you called us out in such a hurry."

"What day?" Liang Zhi glanced at the two of them, "In two days, Qingyun will discuss the Tao. What day do you say?"

"Qingyun discusses the Tao?"

Both Xiao Lin and Si Pei looked at each other, and then there was a hint of helplessness and a wry smile on their faces: "Why are we two going to this year's Qingyun Discussion?"

"If you don't look for the two of you, who are you looking for? Senior brother and second senior brother haven't come back yet. Fourth senior brother is in the back mountain. Fifth senior brother never likes to participate in these things. Sixth senior brother was tricked by us last time. This time he beat him You won’t even die, there are only two of you left, and you still want to escape?”

Liangzhi glared at the two of them and said, "Oh, by the way, there is another old nine this year."

"Qingyun discusses Taoism?" Yu Xiu's expression also changed. He only heard him mention it when he went to Elder Wan Jian last time. He didn't expect it to be a few days later.

"By the way, senior brother, what is Qingyun's theory of Taoism, and what's its use?" Yu Xiu asked with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Lao Jiu hasn't figured out Qing Yun's theory yet, Lao Qi and Lao Ba, you two, tell him." Liangzhi glanced at Yu Xiu, and also gave a wry smile.

"Qingyun Discussion is a grand meeting of our Xuanqing Sect every five years. It is actually a competition to verify the strength of our disciples. The Xuanqing rankings generally fluctuate greatly during this period. Every time there will be some dark horses with little reputation. , the competition is fierce." Xiao Lin laughed.

"Like junior brother, who is ranked in the Xuanqing list but is questioned by others. This grand event like Qingyun Lundao is an excellent opportunity to prove the way. As long as you beat the disciple who was originally ranked 98th at the top, then Xiaoxiao Naturally, the rats won't dare to bother you anymore." Si Pei also laughed.

"Yes, no one in the sect has seen you show your strength. Naturally, some people will be dissatisfied with you. In addition, the close relationship between you and Yaolin, the old nine, is on the cusp. As long as you have With strength, I can guarantee that no one dares to say a word." Liang Zhi also nodded.

Strength is respected, the strong is king, and the weak prey on the strong. This Yu Xiu naturally understands, but he also understands that this Qingyun theory is definitely full of challenges for him.

"Senior brother, do I have to go to this Qingyun Discussion?" Yu Xiu also asked with a dry smile.

"We, Wan Jianfeng, must send some disciples there, and we have all been there, senior brother. You are new here, so naturally you have to see the world." Liangzhi squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Then it looks like I have to go." Yu Xiu looked at Liangzhi and the others helplessly, and said with a wry smile.

"Ahem, Lao Jiu's understanding is not bad." Si Pei also said with a smile.

"Then tell me what the rules are. You don't cheat people like this." Yu Xiu looked at these senior brothers who were laughing, and was also a little speechless.

"The rules are very simple. The so-called discussion is actually a challenge. A person with a low ranking challenges a person with a high ranking, and a person without a ranking challenges a person with a ranking." Liangzhi also said.

Hearing Liang Zhi's words, Yu Xiu was even more weeping. Isn't this a way to cheat him? I don't know how many disciples want to challenge him.

"What if there are too many challengers." Yu Xiu said with a sad face.

"Haha, there are two ways to do this. One is, junior brother, you challenge the higher-ranked people on the Xuanqing Ranking. As long as you challenge people who are ranked higher than you, those challengers will naturally not be able to challenge you. If you challenge the ranking A higher person succeeds, so that not only can you get a higher ranking, but also make the person who wants to challenge you quit. Of course, this is only possible if the person you want to challenge accepts your challenge." Liangzhi held back said with a smile.

"Then there is another way?" Yu Xiu was still crying.

"There is another way that is simple. You just accept one of the challengers directly. If there are too many challengers who want to challenge you, you only need to randomly pick three challenges from them, but the three you pick It must be those who are the strongest among your challengers. Generally speaking, the three strongest people are selected by others to challenge you." Liangzhi said again.

Hearing this, Yu Xiu withdrew his last little thought, and asked again: "Is there anything special to pay attention to at that time?"

"There's nothing special about it. It's just that Qingyun can't use external force when discussing Taoism, such as Taoist talismans. I don't need to say more about this, and there is no killing, just click and stop." Liangzhi shook his head.

"By the way, why didn't I see your names on the Xuanqing list?" Yu Xiu also asked with a smile, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Logically speaking, the strength of these senior brothers should be stronger than Yu Xiuzhi, but Yu Xiu didn't see their names on the Xuanqing list that day, which seemed a little strange.

"Ahem, senior brother, we don't like to be famous. In the past Qingyun Discussion, we just went to see it on behalf of Wan Jianfeng, and didn't participate in the challenge. Besides, senior brother, we don't have any great records on weekdays, so naturally we don't have Xuan clear rankings."

Liang Zhi said with a smile.

"Brothers, haven't you all taken over the mission? With your strength, it will definitely be reflected in the mission. Xuan Qingbang can even know my performance in the mission. It's impossible for you not to know?"

Yu Xiu also said with disbelief.

"Old Ninth Brother, you are really wrong in this way. Senior Brother, we, except the first and second senior brothers who are not in the sect, the rest of the senior brothers don't like to fight. Although we usually have tasks, our performance is not as good as yours. The reason why you were able to enter the Xuanqing list is actually because your strength when doing the mission is stronger than your current real cultivation base, which belongs to leapfrog killing the enemy, so the evaluation of comprehensive combat power is strong, not necessarily cultivation base Those who are tall will definitely be ranked on the Xuanqing list."

Xiao Lin also said the same.

"That's right, and Lao Jiu, you should know that the Xuanqing ranking is just a comparison of strength. Some really powerful characters may not necessarily be on this Xuanqing ranking, because they usually don't show their strength easily, especially this one. Although the Xuanqing list is very famous, it is easy to leak your true strength, and the ranking on the Xuanqing list is not necessarily accurate, there are many people who will more or less hide their strength."

Si Pei also nodded.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Yu Xiu also nodded. After thinking about it carefully, what they said made sense. Under normal circumstances, a person would not reveal all his strength.

"Well, Lao Jiu, you don't have to think too much about these things, just let it take its course. The Xuanqing List may be very important in the hearts of many people, but it is just a false name to us. Our Wan Jianfeng In fact, the big reason why the reputation of the school is not as good as other main peaks is because few of our Wan Jianfeng disciples are ranked on the Xuanqing list."

Liang Zhi smiled and patted Yu Xiu on the shoulder.

"By the way, I heard that you have some conflicts with that Sun Zhifei from the Palace of Punishment. I don't know if he will be in trouble this time, so you should be prepared, Junior Brother."

Liangzhi reminded at the same time.

"It's natural, brother, don't worry, I will know how to do it." Yu Xiu also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's all go back and prepare. Our Wan Jianfeng has been ridiculed for so many years, and you two guys won't say that, learn from the old nine and give me a place in the back."

Liangzhi glared at Xiao Lin and Si Pei.

"Haha..." Yu Xiu snickered.
