LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 25 Qianfan fights against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat
"Two qi refining thirteenth floor, eleven qi refining twelfth floor, five qi refining eleventh floor."
In other words, if Wang Li didn't participate, Huang Fenggu would just be a 13th-level Qi Refiner for appearance this time.
And among the disciples on the twelfth floor of Qi Refining, only those two from the Chen family and one other high-level disciple have been on the twelfth floor for some years, and the others are all new to the twelfth floor. The lineup really makes people feel insecure. .
Regarding this, Wang Li even cursed in his heart: It's too bad.
Since the Chen family and Uncle Chen attach so much importance to this trial, the team they assembled should not have only this number of people and this level, you can believe it. Compared with the other six factions, this is probably not the rhythm of being tortured by blood.
Other sects Wang Li didn't dare to say, but he knew something about the Moon Sect. At least seven thirteenth-floor masters participated in the trial, and many of them were descendants of the alchemy stage. They are not the same kind of people as your Chen family, who are related households.
Originally thought that participating in the trial ten years in advance would be much safer, and it would be much easier to get more spiritual herbs; unexpectedly, Huang Fenggu himself was not strong enough to search for a fortune before the forbidden area was closed and the magic way invaded, instead he let it go fish.
No wonder the Zheyue Sect is always at the head of the seven sects.
The greater the investment, the greater the reward.
"By the way, where is Senior Brother Xiang Zhili? Why didn't you see this hidden boss? Could it be that he joined Huangfeng Valley before the next blood ban trial?"
It is possible.
After all, Xiang Zhili is the only surviving Great Cultivator of the Transformation Stage in the human world. Even if he explores the ancient forbidden places in the world of cultivating immortals and finds suitable space nodes, it is impossible to stay in the same place for too long. Having been able to take root in Huangfeng Valley for ten years, he already has a lot of respect for the Scarlet Forbidden Land, which is an ancient style forbidden place.
Without giving Wang Li too much time to lose his mind, Master Zhong launched his own uniquely charming lectures and encouragement, which brought the morale to a small peak. After that, two deacon disciples each held a tray and entered the hall.
"On the left is a middle-grade spirit stone, each person can choose one; on the right is a high-level magic weapon, each person can receive one. Here, I wish you an early triumph in advance, and build a foundation."
There's nothing to say about Lingshi, it's a colorful plate.
Many high-level instruments are packed in a special storage bag.
Ordinary storage bags, which can be taken out by a cultivator's spiritual consciousness, but this storage bag needs to be used to dig out the shrunk objects inside, and it can prevent the spiritual consciousness of ordinary monks. Only the spiritual consciousness of Dan Qi and above can see through this cover. Low-level monks can only roughly judge through touch.
Wang Li has such a storage bag in his hand.
Where did it come from?
I bought it from Uncle Chen, it's not expensive, only more than 50 spirit stones. My heart ached for the three minutes when he bought it.
"Thank you, Master."
The people who risked their lives to participate in the trial were just hoping to sell themselves for a good price. A group of people lined up to get the spirit stone and magic weapon, everyone's face was full of joy, among them Wang Li was the worst.
With several large patches on his underwear, he was more humble and finally stepped forward to choose something. However, the incomparably excited look with rubbing hands and green eyeballs caused a group of juniors at the 12th level of Qi refining to look inexplicably strange, and another teammate at the 13th level of Qi refining. There was a flash of disdain in his eyes. .
"Boy, don't embarrass me."
Suddenly, a familiar sound transmission sounded in my ear.
Wang Li turned his head and saw Uncle Chen and another middle-aged fat man from the Chen family entered the hall at the entrance of the hall.
Fatty Chen is called Chen Lao Wu, ah, no, it should be said to be the fifth child of the Chen family, and Chen Lao Wu is what the Chen family called him. Uncle Chen is ranked fourth.
According to Xiao Chen, there are seven brothers in his father's generation who are suitable for cultivating immortals. Except for the third child who died young, the others are still alive. The eldest is the current head of the Chen family, the second is in charge of the family's spiritual mine, the most talented Uncle Chen has settled down in the sect, the fifth is like a housekeeper to manage the family business, the sixth who is not bad in talent is busy improving his cultivation, and the youngest It didn't take long for the old Qi to build a foundation.
The father of Chen Qiaotian and Chen Qiaoqian's brothers and sisters is Chen Laoliu who is a little younger than Chen Shishu and Chen Fatty, but his cultivation talent is much better than Chen Fatty, and the latecomers are about to catch up. Not surprisingly, these two years will be able to enter the middle stage of foundation establishment.
"Greetings to Uncle Chen, and Uncle Chen!"
Under normal circumstances, members of the Xiuxian family were not allowed to enter and leave the Qipai mountain gate at will, but the Chen family was a bit special because this family was bound to Huangfeng Valley. During the foundation building period of the Chen family, although he didn't work in Huangfeng Valley, he was still a member of the sect.
“Not bad”
It can be seen that Uncle Chen is a well-measured person, he respects Wang Li's privacy in public, and he is very measured in what should be said and what should not be said.
If it were an ordinary elder, they might directly praise Wang Li, for example: You are very good, you have been able to reach your current level from an introductory disciple at the ninth level of Qi refining in just over two years.
This seems to be a compliment, but it is actually setting the person being praised on the fire.
The old bottom has been leaked.
Wang Li's camouflage is self-defeating, and if not done well, it will cause unnecessary vigilance and even hostility among Huang Fenggu's teammates. Let go of the excuse of the old Yin coin.
"It's just like this after so many years of hard work. If you want a magic weapon, you can't use a magic weapon, and if you want a spirit stone, you can't have a spirit stone. The magic skills are also poor. Disciple, I am ashamed."
Only a child who can cry can have milk. Someone deeply understands this truth.
And the state he wants to achieve is to be mistaken for being hungry even when he is full.
"Choose your magic weapon."
Uncle Chen said calmly. At the same time, together with Fatty Chen, they clasped their fists and bowed to the bell master above.
The head is also a gift in return.
Wang Li didn't think much, so he put his gloved right hand into the storage bag, and touched each of them one by one in a small circle, but he felt uncomfortable, because no matter whether it was a magic weapon, a long sword or a knife, it couldn't break the pouch on his right hand. This glove is waterproof.
Play wool!
Have all the good things been touched by the people in front?
His eyes became inexplicably resentful.
Careless.
You shouldn't be modest.
What kind of tricks are you playing? This is it.
He didn't think his high-level magic weapon glove was so powerful, but even this glove couldn't compare to it. It was conceivable that the things he had touched in the storage bag in front of him were all kinds of things.
"Cough cough."
Although Wang Li was the last one to touch the treasure, he was still fiddling with it after a long time, and the foundation-builders in the temple were more or less impatient. However, the two members of the Chen family were watching from the side, and they couldn't scold them, so they could only cough a few times, tactfully urging someone to move faster.
It's all waiting for you.
"Uncle Chen"
But someone felt wronged, so unwilling.
At this moment, a slightly old but energetic voice came from his ear:
"Continue to the right, the seventh one, that should be what you want!"
Wang Li was shocked when he heard the sound, but the expression on his face remained the same, that miserable and tragic look.
one two three
Got it!
This touch is so hard, why does it feel like a villain?
Wait, it's not a puppet, is it?
After taking it out, it was really a good thing he had been thinking about for a long time, the third-level puppet. (Tiannan's world of cultivating immortals is so graded. Looking at the entire world of cultivating immortals, it should be called a top-level puppet.)
Don't need to think too much, this thing is definitely something of that young master Lin taught by Qianzhu, it seems that the Chen family is not kidding this time.
And if this thing falls into his hands, doesn't it mean that he and the Chen family are getting more and more entangled?
"Oh, I'm really unlucky, what should I do!"
Even if you get a good thing, you have to say it badly. This kind of change of direction gives other people a certain confidence in the good character. Wang Li loves doing it the most.
But he didn't know that the corner of the mouth of a figure on the square outside the hall was twitching.
At the gate of the hall, seeing that Wang Li had chosen the magic weapon and the spirit stone, Master Chen immediately said via voice transmission: "Come out, I have something to tell you."
Sure enough, cheap is not so easy to account for.
Wang Li first saluted Master Zhong and all the masters and uncles who established the foundation, and then quickly followed the two uncles Chen out of the hall and came to an old man.
With a three-inch white beard and an immortal demeanor, he can compete with his cheap teacher, old man Wu.
With just one glance, after confirming the eyes, you know that you are someone you can't afford to offend.
Because not mentioning the respectful attitude of Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen towards this man, just the sharp eyes that saw through his whole body and even internal organs at a glance made him shudder and shudder.
Dan period!
"Boy Wang, this is my Chen family's Dinghaishenzhen, the grandfather of the two of us."
"Disciple Wang Li, pay homage to Master Chen! May the master be blessed like an endless sea, and live longer than Mount Taiyue!"
Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, Grandfather Chen: "."
This is the first time I have encountered such a smelly and shameless person. But never mind, it sounds pretty good.
"You boy, stop flattering me."
Uncle Chen hadn't finished speaking when he was hit on the back of the head by an invisible mana force, and the old man gave him a faint glance.
And with just one glance, the uncle, who was quite strong outside, immediately misfired.
"Ahem, Wang boy, the fourth brother should have told you before, this time to enter the forbidden area, in addition to getting more spiritual herbs needed in the door, we also have to get as much as possible the two pairs of thousand star grass and Nuanyang fruit. Do you still remember the miraculously effective elixir in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment?"
While speaking, a sound insulation technique was released.
"Keep it in mind."
By the way, does he dare to forget? Can you forget?
"Boy, don't think that my Chen family is like you, and doesn't respect you. The world of cultivating immortals is like this. No matter whether the famous family is upright or the evil heretic, what you pursue is the survival of the fittest and go against the sky. Cultivation is like this. The competition for medicine spirit stones is also like this, Qianfan fights against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."
Uncle Chen was lifted, but his expression was rarely serious:
"Bring me those two precious medicines, and I personally owe you a favor. If you fail in foundation establishment this time, I will get you another foundation establishment pill! If you succeed this time, I will give you another one." A high-quality top-level magic weapon and three bottles of Qi Gathering Pills suitable for the early stage of foundation establishment!"
The chips are not too big.
But Wang Li was not happy but worried: If you are playing with me, the conditions are so high, isn't that place very dangerous?
"Master, I am very curious about the two master uncles. It is such an important trial. Why are there only eighteen people participating this time?"
In fact, I wanted to ask why the Chen family only sent three people including him.
What can Uncle Chen say?
Could it be that the last time I lost almost nothing?
Otherwise, how could it be his turn to guard the mountain gate.
In the last blood ban trial, the Chen family went to seven disciples who were above the eleventh floor of the Qi refining period, and one of them was an elite of the thirteenth floor of Qi refining, but in the end only one came out and hid next to the outer eleventh floor Yes, the loss is not insignificant.
So this time, he changed his mind and focused more on people outside the clan, and Wang Li was one of the candidates Chen Shishu valued. To be precise, he was one of the candidates for the next trial in the forbidden area.
It's just that Wang Li's cultivation base grew too fast, which surprised Chen Shishu and even the Chen family.
In the original plot, in the next blood ban trial, Huang Fenggu lost a lot, and the ancestor Li Huayuan who led the team even lost the iron essence that had been refined for more than ten years, so one can imagine the result of the Chen family's fall. .
"Eighteen people, that's a lot."
The previous round with the largest number of people was only twenty-one people, and it was the last trial when the Chen family dispatched a large number of people.
You know, before the incentive policy was introduced to stimulate the enthusiasm of low-level disciples, there were only eleven or two people on average, and at least two people signed up voluntarily; even after the incentive policy was introduced, the average number was only fifteen or sixteen. The first time they were able to come up with a lineup of eighteen people, it was their Chen family who took the lead in bringing out Wang Xiao, Xue Pan, and a certain Wang.
"Hey, no, boy, what do you want to say?"
Obviously, Uncle Chen understood him.
"Uncle, how long will the blood ban trial last if our seven sects mine the elixir in the forbidden area like this? Or, how many times will it be shut down for a while to cultivate health?"
As soon as this remark came out, Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen Wu didn't react, but Old Ancestor Chen's eyes froze.
There was a cloud of uncertainty on the face.
It's not that Wang Li doesn't want to hide his clumsiness, it's just that it's not so difficult for him alone to collect all these elixir within the five-day validity period of the Scarlet Forbidden Land. If the location of the transmission is not good, there will be a lot of troubles.
Unless he gives up going to that place!
But is it possible?
Mo Jiao can leave it to Old Demon Han and Nangong Wan, but he must open the golden treasure box in that place this time and take away the contents!
How could he not be tempted by the inheritance of the great cultivator in the ancient god transformation period?
As Uncle Chen said before: Qianfan fights against the current, if he does not advance, he will retreat.
Why do you suffer yourself and make others cheaper?
If you let everything go, what kind of immortal will you cultivate! Die early, beg!
"Stop the trial? Impossible, this has never happened in the past hundreds of thousands of years, don't think about it, kid."
Wang Li had mentioned this to Chen Shishu in private before, but unfortunately he overestimated Chen Shishu, because now it seems that this person always judges according to past experience and doesn't take it seriously.
Fortunately, Old Ancestor Chen's vision was much higher, and his thoughts were not firm: "Little guy, why do you say that the forbidden land trial will be suspended for a while?"
Why?
In addition to foresight, of course, monks from various sects are taking out less and less spiritual herbs, which is the general trend.
"Just talk about the last fifty years. Fifty years ago, the disciples of the seven sects took out a total of 246 plants; forty-five years ago, 239 plants; forty years ago, 222 Thirteen; thirty-five years ago, two hundred and eighteen.
Until last time, one hundred and eighty-one plants!
And I learned from the classics of the Tianzhi Pavilion in the door that two hundred years ago, the disciples of the seven sects could bring out an average of 400 spiritual herbs!
Half of it is gone!
Isn't this obvious?
If the picking continues, the spirit grass in this forbidden area won't last long, and I'm afraid it will disappear! What is the meaning of the so-called forbidden area trial? "
Can't the smart people of the Seven Schools see this?
There must be something to see through.
Whoever sends the most people and picks the most elixir each time is one of the sensible people among them.
Looking at it this way, there is some reason for concealing the moon sect to grow bigger.
"grandfather!"
Uncle Chen, hurry up.
Uncle Chen Wu is also in a hurry.
The generation of their Chen family has planned a lot, so don't let this cause trouble.
"You are good."
Old Ancestor Chen is not an ignorant person. Everyone is more blinded by past practices, so they only realized the seriousness of the problem after a while.
"Little Si, here are five reasonable instruments and a few talismans. Go and summon all the disciples of the thirteenth level of Qi refining that you like in the sect. This time, let's do it again."
Last time, I was still petty.
"Top-level magic weapon? Primary high-level talisman?"
The magic tools are: a golden bell, a bowl, a dagger, a flying sword, and a gourd. Looking at it from a close distance, the spirituality is not bad, and it is probably at the same level as his Meteorite Shield.
Seeing this, Wang Li heaved a sigh of relief.
The forbidden area is located in Jianzhou where their Yellow Maple Valley is located, and it will take two days to bring a group of disciples there with the method of alchemy monks. Because it is the closest, it arrives one day earlier than the other six factions every time.
In other words, the Chen family still has one day to shake people.
The selected person also has nearly three days to adapt to the newly acquired equipment.
"Boy, I hope your guess is true."
Uncle Chen said depressedly.
"I hope the forbidden area can last a few more rounds!"
Wang Li shrugged.
