At this moment, a green shadow suddenly flashed above the hall. Daoist Dao Xuan flashed in from outside and said,""Everyone's here, right?"
All the disciples bowed in unison and said,"Greetings, Immortal Sect Master."”
Daoist Dao Xuan smiled slightly and walked back to his seat. He glanced at Daoist Cang Song, who immediately walked forward and said in a clear voice,""Everyone, you are all outstanding figures of the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect. It has been more than 2,000 years since our Qingyun lineage was established. We are the orthodox Daoist and the leader of the righteous path. However, the ancients had a saying: industry thrives on diligence, leisure on play. There is also a saying: sail against the current, do not advance or retreat. In order to warn the future generations and guide the younger disciples, our sect's ancestors passed down the grand event of the Seven Lineages Martial Competition.”
The disciples of the Cloud Sect exclaimed in surprise. The 20th session, if calculated once every 60 years, was 1,200 years.
Daoist Cang Song looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction and said,""Today, under the leadership of our sect master senior brother, our Qingyun Sect has prospered and far surpassed our previous life. There are countless outstanding people in the younger generation. Therefore, after the discussion between the Sect Leader and the various Branch Masters, the number of people in the examination was increased to sixty-four, so as to avoid the regret of losing a pearl in the vast sea. The number of people in this test had doubled, so there were some changes in the drawing of lots. "Everyone, please take a look." As he spoke, he pointed to the empty space on the right side of the hall. Everyone looked over and saw a big red wooden box placed there. It was square, and there was only a small hole on the side that allowed one arm to enter.
" There are sixty-three wax pills in the mahogany box, each of which is wrapped with a note with numbers from one to sixty-three written on it." The disciples suddenly made a commotion, but Daoist Cang Song ignored them and said,""After the drawing of lots is completed, the number will be used as the basis for the competition. Number 1 will fight against 64, number 2 against 63, number 3 against 62, and so on. In the second round, the winner of number 1 and 64 will fight against the winner of number 2 and 63, and so on until the final battle. Do you understand?"
" However, this isn't a difficult thing. Among the 63 wax pills, as long as any disciple draws one, it will be extremely lucky. Because there is no opponent for number 64, he will get a bye." Venerable Cang Song continued.”
As soon as he said this, there was another uproar among the Qingyun Sect disciples. However, the Qingyun Sect was a famous sect after all, and their upbringing was very strict. Although this method seemed quite funny, no one objected.
Daoist Dao Xuan stood up and looked around. As the sect master, he was instantly silent. Daoist Dao Xuan nodded. Everyone went to draw lots.”
In the hall, everyone's eyes fell on the mahogany box. First, nine disciples from the Long Gate walked out and walked to the box in turn. Each of them took out a wax pill, followed by the disciples from the Dragon Peak.
Lingxuan took a few more glances at Master Shuiyue and saw that she was around 30 years old. She was similar to Master's wife, Su Ru. She had an oval face, thin eyebrows, and a nose. Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and lively. She was wearing a moon-white Daoist robe and looked charming. Behind her, there was no elder standing. Instead, there was a female disciple. She was dressed in snow-white clothes and had an extremely beautiful appearance. She carried a long sword on her back. The sheath and hilt were sky blue in color. The color was bright and there was a faint light flowing. One look and one could tell that it was an immortal treasure. Ling Xuan guessed that this person was Lu Xueqi, and she was indeed a beauty.
Just as he was lost in thought, the young woman seemed to have sensed his gaze and suddenly turned her head. Her gaze was like lightning as she stared coldly at Lingxuan. Lingxuan's heart trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and his face turned extremely red. Hence, he quickly went up to draw lots. The woman in white standing behind Master Shuiyue lowered her head and said to Master Shuiyue. Master Shuiyue nodded,"You should go too."
The white-robed woman nodded and walked to the group of women from Small Bamboo Peak. She smiled with Wen Min and the others before walking to the side of the mahogany box and pulling out the last nine wax pills.
At this moment, in the main hall, all the disciples were checking the wax pills. The elders sitting on the seats could not help but become nervous. They all stared at their disciples, hoping that their disciples would draw a good lot. If they drew a note, it would naturally be the best.
As if responding to the feelings of the masters, the young Qingyun Sect disciples in the hall spoke up one by one,
It's twenty-six."
"How much is 33 for me?"
It's forty-seven. I wonder what number the opponent is, let me calculate…"
However, after looking at the disciples talking for a long time, no one said that they had drawn the precious number one note.
Daoist Cang Song frowned, coughed twice, and said loudly,""Who drew lot number one?"
His voice was loud and clear, suppressing all other voices. The hall fell silent. After a long time, a small voice suddenly came from the crowd. It carried a trace of surprise and caution, as if even he himself did not believe it."Martial Uncle Ashen Pine is here."
Everyone looked over and was shocked to see Zhang Xiaofan standing in the crowd with a note in his hand. He was stunned as he looked at Tian Buyi and said timidly,"
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on this unremarkable disciple of the Big Bamboo Peak. Tian Buyi and Su Ru exchanged glances, and Su Ru smiled and nodded.
Everyone from Big Bamboo Peak was all smiles as they surrounded Zhang Xiaofan. Ling Xuan patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder heavily and smiled."Brat, I didn't know you were so lucky!”
Zhang Xiaofan also smiled.
At this moment, Daoist Cang Song frowned and said loudly," However, the drawing of lots has been completed. Disciples, come to me later and report your names according to your lot numbers. Later, you will use the red list to post them. Then, you will know who your opponents are. Now, please speak, Sect Leader Senior Brother."
When the originally noisy disciples heard that Sect Master Daoist Dao Xuan was going to come out and speak, they all quieted down. Daoist Dao Xuan stood up from his seat and slowly walked in front of everyone. He swept his gaze across the disciples and said,"Everyone, you're all elites of the younger generation in our Qingyun Sect. Your aptitude and talent are all outstanding. "In the future, the seats and elders of the Qingyun Sect's various lineages, and even my position as sect master, will very likely be taken up by the best of you.”
The disciples of the Green Cloud Sect stirred, and many of them revealed excited expressions.
Daoist Dao Xuan revealed a kind smile. If you want to reach this step and sit in the seats of the elders behind me, you'll have to work harder.”
"Yes," everyone replied in unison.
Daoist Dao Xuan covered his long beard with his hand and nodded. He said seriously,""My Qingyun Sect has always been a famous righteous path ever since Patriarch Qingyun Zi established the sect. Now, we're already the leader of the righteous path in the world's cultivation path. In today's world, the righteous path flourished, the evil spirits retreated, and the world enjoyed peace. However, the remaining evil cultivators of the demonic path are treacherous and vicious. They are not dead yet. In recent years, they seem to be restless. At this time, it is even more necessary for us righteous path people to eliminate the evil. Therefore, everyone must concentrate on cultivating and strengthen our resolve. As long as we are strong and independent, the evil path will not have any openings!”
"We will follow the Sect Master's instructions!" the disciples shouted.”
Daoist Dao Xuan smiled. There's another thing I want to announce to everyone: "In order to encourage the Qingyun Sect disciples to work hard and cultivate, I discussed with the elders and decided that starting from this Seven Lineage Martial Competition, the final winner will be given a small reward every time after the martial arts competition.”
There was a commotion among the Cloud Disciples.
Daoist Dao Xuan looked at these young disciples and said with a smile,""The prize this time is the Six Directions Mirror.
"What is it?" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this thing before. He could not help but look to his side and saw that Tian Ling 'er, Du Bishu, and the others were also confused. The young disciples from the other lineages around him did not seem to know either. However, Qi Hao, Song Daren, Wen Min, and the other disciples who had been in the sect for a long time changed their expressions. There was a rare excitement and yearning on their faces.
Only Lingxuan only smiled faintly, indicating that he was not interested.
Tian Ling 'er and the others also noticed that Eldest Senior Brother and the others seemed to know something. They leaned over and asked quietly,""Eldest Senior Brother, what is a mirror?”
Song Daren said in a low voice," The Six Directions Mirror is a magic weapon passed down by our sect's tenth generation ancestor, Immortal Wu Fangzi. I've never seen its exact appearance, but I've heard from my master before that it's one of our sect's rare treasures. It's extremely powerful and has a wonderful feature. As long as the user's spiritual power is strong enough, the Six Directions Mirror can reflect all attacks and be invincible.”
Everyone's jaws dropped. Du Bi Shu stuttered, Wouldn't he be invincible?"
"Song Daren shrugged his shoulders and looked exactly like that. I'm not sure either, but Master can't be wrong. This time," he glanced at Daoist Dao Xuan and lowered his voice. This time, Sect Master and Master seemed to have invested a lot!”
Everyone's expressions were a little strange. Most of them seemed to be secretly swallowing their saliva. It seemed that even cultivators would inevitably be tempted by the rare treasures in front of them.
Daoist Dao Xuan paused for a moment and smiled as he watched the young disciples discuss animatedly. After a while, he said,"Alright, that's about it. Go back and rest. The competition will begin tomorrow morning.”
The Green Cloud disciples bowed in unison and said in unison,"Yes, Immortal Sect Master."
