Chapter 23: Overcharged by three or five buckets
The Spirit Sword Sect has not held an Immortal Ascension Conference for more than a hundred years, but now that it has opened, it is an astonishingly good harvest.
There were a total of 17 testers who left Taoyuan Village and walked on the final stretch of the road. Thanks to Wang Lu, 15 of the 17 have passed the test. Except for two unlucky guys who gave up early,
Even Hai Yunfan, Zhu Qin, Wang Zhong and others struggled to crawl out of a certain ice cave after the separation of heaven and earth, and walked all the way to the end.
With one sword, the four major caves penetrated, and the entire road to immortality was cut in half. Everyone passed the test unconditionally...
This unexpected joy is simply dizzying. However, on the other side, there is a quarrel within the Spirit Sword Sect. If the previous problems such as Taoyuan Village were just a problem of ringworm and scabies, now this great harvest scene has become a thorn in the side.
The severe pain in the bones, this kind of thing even the master of Miao Miao Peak cannot make a decision on, and the result is naturally noisy to the Star Peak of Lingjian Mountain where the master is located.
At the top of the Star Peak, in the small room where the master discussed matters, the nine elders of Tianjian Hall (currently) gathered together in one room.
The first elder, the current leader Feng Yin, was in the first place, but he closed his eyes and meditated, silently. The second elder Liu Xian was so angry that he slapped the armrest of the seat repeatedly and roared.
"I have already said that I can't let that woman do whatever she wants! That idiot has a bad mind! You insist on condoning her, and you insist on believing in her humanistic innovations! As expected, something went wrong! Tell me, how will it end now?
?”
The other elders had different expressions, but no one wanted to get involved in this mess.
Only a lively girl at the bottom smiled and smoothed things over: "Second Senior Brother, please calm down. After all, you are also the teacher of the inner disciples. As a teacher, you must pay attention to self-discipline. Besides, it will not help even if you blame Fifth Senior Sister now."
Seeing that pretty smiling face, Liu Xian couldn't get angry. He just shook his head and complained: "Little junior sister, you said it lightly, it's not your turn to have a headache now..."
The girl continued to snicker: "Hey, who made you the master of Piaomiao Peak? I'm just the master of Xiaoyao Peak. If you ask me, you might as well just accept them all. It just so happens that our Spirit Sword Sect's people are dying, and there are fifteen more people."
People can also be lively.”
Liu Xian raised his eyebrows and stared: "Junior sister, don't be joking! I have experienced more than a hundred years in Piaomiao Peak, and I only have thirty-four inner disciples. Now there are fifteen more newcomers, wouldn't it cause chaos! It turns out that there are fifteen more newcomers.
The plan is that if a dozen or so people make it to the end, it will be good, and we will make an exception and carefully select three or five people...but they were fucked by that woman, and now there is no way to end it!"
The Sixth Elder Lu Li, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, slowly said: "Not to mention anything else, the sect's resources cannot support fifteen more inner disciples. Although our Spirit Sword Sect has plenty of time, we cannot afford to waste it."
Liu Xian nodded repeatedly and said to junior sister Hua Yun: "Look, even junior brother Lu Li said this, what else do you have to say, junior sister?"
The junior sister stuck out her tongue: "The people in charge of the financial power have spoken. What else can I, a soft-spoken person, say? I made Senior Brother Lu Li angry. If our Xiaoyao Peak's budget is cut this year, I will do it."
There’s no time to sing.”
Lu Li was angry and funny: "Look at what you said, little junior sister, when did I cut your budget? When did I say no to you when you asked for money?"
"Hmph, last time I wanted to buy the Aurora Diamond, didn't you approve it?"
"...There is no point in using public funds to buy jewelry for yourself!?"
"Ahem!"
At this time, the great elder who was at the top finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, don't argue. This matter cannot be left unchecked, but we need to come up with a practical plan on how to solve it. You said that all fifteen people cannot be recruited into Piaomiao Peak. I agree, but
What's next? There has to be a way to deal with it."
Several elders looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. Everyone has a way, but if you can convince everyone here, you don't have the confidence.
As a result, the Sixth Elder spoke again: "According to my calculations, it is naturally impossible to integrate all fifteen people into Piaomiao Peak... But there will be no problem if they join Xiaoyao Peak. The sect's resources can fully support it."
No matter which sect it is, there is a world of difference between the inner and outer sects. The Spirit Sword Sect pursues an elite policy, and this is especially true in a place with a declining population. The inner sect has thirty-four disciples, but the outer sect has more than two hundred disciples.
The resources invested by the sects in the two differed by more than ten times.
However, the Lingjian Sect may be able to support the expenses of fifteen outer disciples, but a certain junior sister Hua Yun, who is also the master of Xiaoyao Peak, has given up.
"What do you mean, stinky old six? Are you treating me, Xiaoyao Peak, as a scrap shop!?"
Lu Li quickly waved his hand and explained: "I am only providing a solution from the perspective of the sect's resources. Junior sister, please don't misunderstand..."
The junior sister then sat down with an unhappy look on her face, and then said: "Let me tell you, the Immortal Ascension Conference has not successfully recruited anyone for more than a hundred years, so why not just kick all fifteen of them down the mountain?
never mind."
Lu Li had just made Hua Yun angry, and now he agreed very knowingly: "Well, that can save a lot of resources for the sect..."
"Don't come up with random ideas and kick out these fifteen people? Why? According to the rules, they have successfully completed the road to immortality, and even made it to Piaomiao Peak!"
Fang He, the elder in charge of punishment, pointed at Hua Yun and Lu Li angrily: "It would be fine if they were evil sects or small sects that were not on the stage, but for our Spirit Sword Sect to do such a thing, it would simply bring shame to the founder.
!”
Hua Yun stuck out her tongue, not daring to contradict this elder whose majesty was second only to the master's senior brother, but after a while she tilted her head and whispered: "The old stubborn who is destined to live alone..."
Fang He's ears twitched and he was so angry that he died.
Fortunately, the leader spoke in time: "Haha, it's troublesome now. I can't keep it, and I can't take it in. What should I do?"
The second elder, Liu Xian, said very rudely: "In the final analysis, the reason is that the head brother indulges the fifth junior sister too much. Please come up with a plan for this matter!"
"Haha, as for the plan, I do have one. It's actually quite simple. Since we think these fifteen people are too many, let's go and screen them ourselves and remove the unqualified ones."
Fang He, the elder in charge of punishment, frowned: "Master, this is against the rules. Logically speaking, they have passed the test and should not cause any more trouble..."
"The rules also require people to explain them. If you ask me, these fifteen people have not yet passed the path to immortality, because the last link was forcibly interrupted by an irresistible external force, and their trials were not completed in time."
Fang He was dumbfounded: "This is simply unreasonable."
Liu Xianze naturally applauded the leader's suggestion: "How can you use strong words to make sense? It's just good advice! This time the road to immortality has been subject to many changes, and the leader is very kind in not letting them do it all over again."
The top ten elders of Tianjian Hall (now nine), the first and second ranked ones set the tone, what else can the others say? So this time the head office meeting ends here.
Half a day later, the elders of Tianjian Hall gathered at Piaomiao Peak to jointly examine the fifteen test takers who were supposed to pass the test.
——
Most of the fifteen trialists gathered in front of Xuanyun Hall in Piaomiao Peak were filled with anger.
Of course, this is also human nature. Just when you happily thought that the door to immortality had been opened, you were informed that you would need to take an additional test at a moment’s notice. And judging from the lineup of examiners, the elimination rate for this additional test is quite impressive! This is like a wedding night.
When he took off his trousers, picked up his gun and mounted his horse, he opened his hijab and saw his father-in-law smiling with a chrysanthemum face, reaching out to ask for a huge amount of betrothal money, which was unjust. No wonder people were so angry.
But injustice is unfair, and after making a lot of noise, you still have to accept the reality. After all, even the person who is most qualified to make noise is quiet, and the protests of others seem quite unreasonable.
Wang Lu's silence caused many people to lose the opportunity to use the topic. However, this additional test was the most unfair to him, because among the fifteen people, only Wang Lu was able to pass all the levels upright and reach the end. The others were completely
It was just a ride. But Wang Lu's name was clearly on the list of additional candidates. I don't know what the people of the Spirit Sword Sect were thinking. Could it be that they didn't plan to accept any newcomers from the beginning?
Wang Lu didn't know what the Spirit Sword Sect was considering and didn't bother to think about it. For him, who was extremely confident, the more trials the Spirit Sword Sect gave him, the more difficult the trials, and the final victory would be more brilliant. Anyway, Tianlinggen
Who dares to be dissatisfied here?
Therefore, while others gathered in twos and threes in the square in front of Xuanyun Hall to discuss countermeasures, Wang Lu stood alone under a tree and watched coldly. At this time, Xuanyun Hall had not yet opened, and the trial method had not yet been decided. Even his major
The adventurers can't figure out what to do next. How can they end up talking about it? It's just an act of masturbation.
However, I always feel that the future is full of twists and turns, perhaps even more unexpected than expected...
——
While the young people in front of the hall were thinking wildly, time passed by. The door of Xuanyuntang was still not open, and everyone had no choice but to waste time outside.
In Xuanyun Hall, the elders of Tianjian Hall were also anxiously waiting - everyone else had already arrived, waiting for the additional test to begin, but the leader himself had not arrived!
Although people with higher positions will arrive later, which is a common rule in any industry, Master Fengyin never puts on such useless pomp, and his punctuality makes many disciples pale in comparison (especially the five members of the original Tianjian Hall)
Elder). But this time the master was late for half an hour, which was very confusing.
Fourth Elder Zhou Ming was a little impatient and ordered his close disciple: "Liu Li, go see what the leader is doing and invite him over."
A female disciple beside him smiled and nodded, then turned into light and flew away.
Halfway through the incense stick, the female disciple flew back again: "Report to Master, the leader is not found."
"...where did you find it?"
"I don't know either. Master didn't say anything just now."
"You..." Zhou Ming was speechless, and finally shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, sit down."
Chapter completed!
