Jianzhou is located in the northern part of Yue State, and its area ranks second among the thirteen states. Its territory is mostly mountains and hills, sparsely populated, and it also borders the neighboring Yuanwu State.
The Taiyue Mountains are located in the west of Jianzhou, with a radius of thousands of miles. Not only are all kinds of beasts and raptors emerging endlessly, it is an untouched primitive mountain forest, and there are even occasional rumors of woodcutters and hunters claiming to see gods and monsters, which even covered the place. A veil of mystery.
The worldly people naturally would not have imagined that the entire central part of the mountain range had been occupied by Huangfeng Valley, one of the seven sects of cultivating immortals, for thousands of years.
Seen from above, this place is no different from other mountains, with steep mountains and lush trees, but in fact it is covered by a huge array of strange gates, which are all illusions. There are countless towers, halls, and some immortal cultivators who are stepping on leaf-shaped instruments, flying around in the low altitude, constantly busy.
The current head of Huangfeng Valley, Zhong Lingdao, is more than a hundred years old, but he is still a middle-aged man with three long beards. He is a person who cultivated in the late foundation period, and he is calm in nature, good at organization, and has a high prestige in the sect. , the elders in the sect and his brothers are extremely convinced of him.
But this always calm and confident Master Zhong, now frowned, sitting on the main seat in the main hall, looking helpless at the middle-aged man and an old man who were arguing fiercely in front of him, but There are more than a dozen monks with different expressions sitting on both sides of the main hall. These people are all the management staff of Huangfeng Valley.
"Senior Brother Murong! The recipients of the Foundation Establishment Pill have been assigned months ago, but now they cancel the one for my grandnephew and give it to a casual cultivator. This is too unreasonable!" The old man was full of anger The middle-aged scholar with white face and beard shouted.
Really surprising, this old man is obviously much older than the middle-aged man, but he still wants to call him senior brother!
"Junior Brother Ye, didn't this happen by accident? It's only once in hundreds of years like this that someone comes to us with an Immortal Ascension Order. How can we ignore it? We have to give someone a Foundation Establishment Pill." Ah!" The middle-aged scholar said slowly with his expression unchanged.
"But this person is not a member of the Xiuxian family at all, but a casual cultivator. I also want to give him a foundation building pill? I think it is enough to just let him get started, so that he can be regarded as a source of good fortune!" the old man said. He argued red-faced.
"Junior Brother Ye, you can't say that! How do you know that his ancestors are not members of the Cultivation Clan? Maybe it's just that the Cultivator's family fell and became a casual Cultivator! Besides, who can guarantee that his family will not decline for a long time! Maybe Ye Junior brother¡¯s Ye family will also go down one day, is it true that when the descendants of the Ye family come to the door with the promotion order, we people in Huangfeng Valley should not give the foundation building pill, just let him get started? If the junior brother If you dare to swear this oath in front of everyone, I, Murong Shan, will turn around and leave, never mentioning the matter of building Jidan again."
The middle-aged man talked eloquently, and the old man's face turned white and blue, and he was speechless.
How dare the old man swear such a promise of endless troubles! Besides, even if he did, it's just that the guy in front of him who didn't see eye to eye with him just let go, who knows if anyone else will come out again?
"But why, must it be my nephew's grain to give up? Can't other people do it?" The old man asked loudly, not reconciled.
"This grandnephew, who has to ask my junior, is too disappointing! He actually ranked so low in the test." The middle-aged man shook his head with regret.
Seeing the person on the opposite side pretending so much, the old man hated it so much that his teeth itch! But it's about the interests of my grandnephew, so I don't care about other things, I still try my best to distinguish: "My nephew's ranking is indeed a bit late, but he is not the last person in taking the foundation pill! Aren't there two other people? "
"Junior Brother is right, there are two other people who ranked behind Ling's grandnephew in the test, but the situation of these two people is really special! Only Junior Brother Ye's grandnephew will be wronged!" The middle-aged man regretted. Said in a tone.
"What's so special? If you don't give me a convincing reason, I will definitely not be able to swallow this breath!" The old man was also anxious, and let out harsh words.
"Nonsense! What can't you swallow? These two people are indeed special. I nodded and agreed to skip them and directly choose the nephew of the younger brother. As for the reason! I will explain it to you even if the younger brother doesn't ask. "
Zhong Lingdao saw that the old man really didn't want to talk, so his face sank, and he scolded a few words.
Seeing that Zhong Lingdao said the same thing, the old man shuddered! He only knew that during the test, there should be two people behind his nephew and grandson. As for who they were, he really didn't know, and this was what made him really angry! Is there really any exception, so that the always fair and strict head will also be partial?
Zhong Lingdao waved his handWaving, signaling the middle-aged scholar to sit back in his original position, he sighed and said:
"Junior Brother Ye, I'm afraid I'm really going to wrong my nephew this time! Of the other two, one is the only descendant of Uncle Hongfu in the secular world, so although the little girl failed the test originally, I still picked her out at the beginning. After coming out, he was included in the list of Jidan taking. Presumably, Junior Brother Ye will not cancel this person's Jidan, right?"
When the old man heard Hong Fu's name, he was taken aback, his face changed drastically, and he became terrified.
"Since I am a descendant of Uncle Hongfu, of course I should take care of him. How can I be so disrespectful to my elders! I am convinced of this person's arrangement." The old man said with a pale face.
Sect Master Zhong, it is not surprising to see the old man's expression like this, after all, as the only female surname among the monks in Huangfeng Valley's alchemy stage, who here does not know the temper of this Uncle Hongfu! If the little girl is really deprived of her foundation building qualifications, don't say that the old man will be unlucky, I am afraid that even I, the head of the sect, will not have a good life in the future!
"Is there another person?" The old man was still a bit unwilling to give up. Although he knew that the remaining person must have a good reason, he still asked with a fluke mentality.
"The remaining one has a different spirit root of the wind attribute, do you think this is enough reason?" Zhong Lingdao said slowly, twisting his long beard.
Upon hearing this, the old man fell silent. There is such a clear text in Huangfenggu's gate rules: Those with heavenly roots and strange spirit roots will be given priority in building foundations. This is nothing to complain about!
But his grandnephew, although he is not his own grandson, since the day he entered the house, he has watched him grow up day by day, and he is closer to him than his own grandson, how could he bear to tell him the news that his foundation establishment qualification was revoked!
"Then, is my nephew really hopeless? You know, if I wait another ten years, my nephew will miss the best foundation-building period, and there is no hope of entering the foundation-building period in this life!" It was a bit desolate, and it provoked a lot of whispers among the people sitting next to it.
"Junior Brother Ye, there is actually no way!" An old man with a gloomy face and a hooked nose stood up and comforted the old man surnamed Ye.
"What? Brother Wu still has a solution?" Hearing this, the old man surnamed Ye cheered up. This Senior Brother Wu in the door is famous for his resourcefulness, so maybe he really has something to do!
The old man surnamed Wu smiled slightly, and did not answer the question right away. Instead, he turned his head to salute Zhong Lingdao, and asked loudly, "May I ask the master, has the spiritual root attribute of this person who holds the ascending order been tested? how?"
"It doesn't seem to be very good! Brother Wang, you personally brought the people and conducted the test. Tell me!" Zhong Lingdao said to someone in the row on the left.
"Yes, senior brother! A light green middle-aged man stood up and said lightly:
"This person is not very old, about eighteen or nineteen years old, at the early stage of the ninth level of the wood attribute basic technique, and the four attributes of the spiritual root attribute lack gold, which belongs to a pseudo-spiritual root. Judging from the overall judgment, this person should be of low aptitude, but should be Had adventures and been able to practice diligently, otherwise we would not be able to achieve the current state. If there is no other opportunity, basically in this life, we can only practice the basic skills to the eleventh or second level, and cannot enter the foundation-building stage. Even if we take a foundation-building pill Dan, but the possibility of entering the foundation building stage is only one percent"
"Okay!" The old man surnamed Wu interrupted loudly before the junior brother Wang finished speaking.
"What's good?" The old man surnamed Ye asked helplessly.
Others also looked at the old man surnamed Wu with doubts on their faces, only Zhong Lingdao frowned slightly, guessing something in his heart.
"I would like to ask the head brother, if someone who comes here voluntarily gives up taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, does it count as a breach of our promise!" said the old man surnamed Wu.
"Of course, but no one is allowed to use threats or coercion to do this, otherwise the reputation of our Yellow Maple Valley will be ruined!" Master Zhong woke up gently.
"Hehe! Please rest assured, the master, of course!" The old man surnamed Wu smiled slightly, then turned his head and said to the old man surnamed Ye:
"Junior Brother Ye, you don't mind spending some money to buy his Foundation Establishment Pill? You must know that his aptitude is so low, and the success rate of Foundation Establishment is even pitiful. There should be a great chance that he will give up the Foundation Establishment Pill. In exchange for something more practical!" The old man surnamed Wu looked confident.
