Wonderland

Chapter 174
It's really useless for them, the elders of the outer sect, to quarrel here. No matter what the result of their discussion is, that Uncle Su can overturn it with a word.

What made them fear the most was that this Uncle Su was not from a cultivator family, but from an out-and-out casual cultivator, and he had never had a dual cultivator partner since he was cultivating, so he had no descendants, let alone the family. talk about.

For a long time, although this Uncle Su didn't say anything, he was already extremely dissatisfied with the power of the big families in Dancao Mountain, but he had a deep scheming heart, and he didn't tell the truth about many things. Too much meddling in the affairs of the sect, so it has been peaceful all the time.

But Master Changqing doesn't think that Uncle Su will always be like this, and judging from his nearly 200 years of life experience, this Uncle Su is probably waiting for an opportunity, and the reduction in the number of Foundation Establishment Pills this time may be a That opportunity.

Master Changqing is well aware of this, although he also wants to bring more benefits to the family, but at this juncture, he also knows the truth of being wise and protecting himself, so he chose to wait and see.

Her Highness Cuixia and Tao Ling also looked on coldly. She had long been displeased with these old guys in front of her, but she also did not plan to make such a head, and as her true disciple, it was inevitable that she wanted to reverse the current situation in Dancao Mountain. A little too arrogant.

Besides, her identity this time is just to represent her master Wu Daozi to convey the refining situation of the Foundation Establishment Pill this time. As for how the subsequent Foundation Establishment Pills will be distributed, she doesn't care.

Suddenly, the temperature in the Cuixia Palace dropped sharply, and the whole hall seemed to change from a scorching summer to a bitterly cold winter at this instant, and everyone's expressions changed.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the Cuixia Palace, and in the center of the hall, a ball of light shining with misty blue light suddenly appeared. This ball of light stretched rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a human shape. The horrified eyes became clearer, and soon a middle-aged monk in his forties appeared in front of everyone.

This person has a white face and no beard, with a slender body, his hands behind his back, and a smile on his face with regular features.

With the appearance of this person, an astonishing spiritual pressure suddenly swept across the entire Cuixia Palace.

Everyone, including Daoist Changqing, couldn't help but stand up after seeing the face of the person coming, and bowed in salute one after another.

"See Uncle Su."

"See Master Su."

"Get up." The white-faced monk looked around at the crowd before saying calmly, and following his words, the huge spiritual pressure covering his body began to dissipate, and all the people who bowed their hands and saluted breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came here as Xiaohan's light-transformed shadow clone to convey the decree of the ancestor Tianyi."

"Disciple waits to respect the decree of the Dharma." Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down and bowed down, their faces full of respect.

Patriarch Tianyi is the only Yuanying Patriarch in the entire Dancao Mountain. In a sense, most of the reason why Dancao Mountain has been able to prosper for so long is because of the presence of this Yuanying Patriarch.

Facing Patriarch Tianyi, even Daoist Changchun, as the head of Dancao Mountain, would not dare to neglect in the slightest. For anyone in Dancao Mountain, in front of this Patriarch, they are like floating clouds, and life and death depend on it. in a moment.

Seeing everyone kneeling and worshiping, the white-faced monk showed satisfaction on his face, and said lightly: "The purple spirit flowers obtained in this catacomb trial have decreased by more than [-]% compared to previous years. Besides the Dan, the rest of the Foundation Establishment Pills that have been practiced are [-]% less than before."

"This is also due to the rise and fall of heaven's luck, and it cannot be resolved by manpower. However, the reduction in the number of foundation building pills will inevitably lead to the failure of a considerable number of disciples in our sect's outer sect who meet the foundation building conditions because they cannot obtain foundation building pills." It is impossible to successfully build a foundation.”

"For many years, the cultivation resources of Dancao Mountain have been favored by the families, resulting in unfair distribution and endless resentment among low-level disciples."

Speaking of this, the white-faced monk glanced coldly at the crowd. The elders of the outer sect shook their bodies when they heard the words, showing their inner uneasiness, but none of them dared to look up at the white-faced monk, let alone speak out to refute.

With a sneer, the white-faced monk continued: "In view of this, the ancestor decided to open the "Five Hell Illusion" for the continued development of the sect. Anyone who can pass through the three realms can get a foundation-building pill, and from today Since then, the "Five Prisons Illusion" has been opened once a year.

"The distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills is determined by the number of people who pass through the Illusory Realm of the Five Hells, and the previous standards for the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills will be invalidated."

"Open the illusion of the five prisons?" Hearing this, Master Changchun's old face, which had not moved for decades, suddenly changed drastically.

"Uncle Su, the illusion of the Five Hells is extremely dangerous. Although there will be no danger to life, once the customs clearance fails, it will definitely have a profound impact on the monk's own Taoism. After the birth of the baby, it was announced to suspend the trial of the illusion of the five prisons, now?"

The white-faced monk looked at Master Changqing expressionlessly, and said calmly: "This decision was made by Patriarch Tianyi, Wang Daoxuan, are you questioning Patriarch's decision?"

Immortal Changqing was so scared that his face paled. He quickly knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed again and again, and begged for sins again and again. At this moment, he felt extremely regretful, questioning Patriarch Tianyi. Although he is the head of Dancao Mountain, once he angers Patriarch Tianyi, it will be absolutely unreasonable.

The other dozen or so outer sect elders were all pale, and they didn't dare to take a breath, let alone intercede for Master Changqing, and even a few of them were still secretly happy, after all, Master Changqing had already occupied the head of the sect. Having been in power for more than 60 years, the rest of their family has always been loved.

The white-faced monk looked at everyone coldly, and after a while, he said in a slightly calmer tone: "Get up, the opening of the illusion of the five prisons is to select those with a firm heart from the disciples of the outer sect, and use this method to distribute the buildings. Kidan is also the most fair move, don't think that the ancestors don't know the little ones in the hearts of your big families."

Everyone heard the words and stood up cautiously, but they didn't dare to take a breath, and stood tremblingly with their hands down.

"However, we can't blame you all. When we cultivate, we don't want to disown our own relatives. It is reasonable to use the power in our hands to bias our own clansmen. Patriarch Tianyi also understands this, but Zongmen The selection of talents must not be determined by family relations, if this continues, our Dancao Mountain will inevitably decline and never recover."

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, the white-faced monk continued: "It is imperative to open the illusion of the five prisons, but if all the five realms are opened, it will be too difficult for outer disciples to pass, so anyone who can Those who pass through the three realms can get a foundation-building pill, which is the token of the five prisons. With this, the illusion can be opened. Daoxuan, this matter is up to you to preside over it. The start time is set to be one month later today. .”

Wang Daoxuan took a two-inch long silver token from the white-faced monk, on which was written the word "Five Prisons" in ancient seal characters. After receiving the token, he took a few steps back slowly and stood with his hands down.

"Okay, the patriarch's decree has been passed on to me. I hope that you will not slack off on the patriarch's decree. Next month, when the illusion of the five prisons is closed, this seat will personally go out to distribute the building for the outer disciples who have passed the trial. Kidan, and for the top ten who left the Five Prisons Illusion in the shortest time, Patriarch Tianyi will also distribute three spiritual weapons and seven top-grade magical weapons to motivate the middle and low-level disciples."

"Spiritual weapon?" The eyes of the elders of the outer sect couldn't help showing a scorching color. You must know that the spiritual weapon is also very attractive to them, the elders of the outer sect. Brother Dan, otherwise he would not have many spiritual weapons.

"Furthermore, the top three people who received the spiritual weapon rewards will be personally accepted as registered disciples. Once the foundation is successfully established, they will formally worship under the sect of this seat and become one of the true disciples of this seat." The white-faced monk said another Information that stunned everyone.

"Okay, the patriarch's decree has been passed on, and you must do your best to follow it. If something goes wrong and the patriarch is furious, you can think about the consequences yourself." After the white-faced monk finished speaking, his body began to become blurred again, until finally Dissipated as a cyan light spot.

The cold atmosphere in the Cuixia Palace also disappeared, and everyone stood up one after another, each heaving a sigh of relief.

However, they were not in a good mood. They never dreamed that the illusion of the Five Hells, which had been closed for hundreds of years, would reopen. It seemed that Patriarch Tianyi was determined to rectify the family power in the sect.

This is not a good thing for them. 700 years ago, the ancestor Tianyi had just condensed the Nascent Soul, and at that time, the distribution of Zhuji Dan was based on the disciples of the outer sect during the Qi refining period in the sect. Whether it can be determined by the three realms in the illusion of the five prisons.

Any outer disciple who can successfully pass the three realms will be given a foundation-building pill, and 700 years ago, two or three thousand purple spirit flowers could be picked from each catacomb trial, and the five major sects gave them a pill every year. The foundation building pills issued are all more than a hundred pills.

However, there are less than a hundred disciples from the outer sect who can pass the first three realms of the illusion of five prisons. After Zu was promoted to Yuanying Patriarch, Patriarch Tianyi made a decree after he was promoted to Yuanying Patriarch. In addition to selecting the outer sect disciples in the Qi-refinement period through the illusion of the Five Prisons every year, the major cultivation families can also recommend outstanding ones within the clan. A disciple in the Qi refining period, bestowed with the foundation building pill.

And because the five prison illusions can indeed select excellent outer disciples, but the trials are too harsh, resulting in the collapse of many outer disciples after participating in the trials. An old ancestor decided to cancel it, and the elders of the major outer sects in the sect jointly recommended the disciples of the outer sect to bestow the foundation pill.

In this way, due to the increase in the number of disciples of the Cultivation Clan in Dancao Mountain, they gradually controlled the bottom power of Dancao Mountain, and the distribution of Zhuji Pill also changed. Although the disciple, according to the rules, will be given a Foundation Establishment Pill, it is unknown whether it will actually fall into the hands of these people in the end.

Moreover, the elders of the outer sect with family backgrounds in Dancao Mountain used various means to take the foundation building alchemy that should belong to them from the disciples of the outer sect who entered the sect during the qi refining period through the cave trial. There are or forcibly exchanged at a very small price, such things emerge in endlessly.

However, as an outer sect disciple at the lowest level of the sect in the Qi refining period, with his own background of casual cultivation, although his heart is full of resentment, there is nothing he can do. Last year, there were as many as seven or eight monks in the Qi refining stage who were put on the Lingling Platform.
