When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 85 A secret!The hidden talent selection of Wandaomen
After Li Fan heard this, he became excited instantly.

"Are these two really the most difficult among fourth- and fifth-level Taoist arts?" Li Fan asked.

The manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion frowned and said, "Can I still lie to you?"

"The Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique is a very difficult one among the fifth-level Taoist techniques. Even the monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment will not choose it easily. Besides, you are in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. If you want to practice well, I don't think you can do it."

"The same goes for the Tiangang Golden Armor Technique."

"Okay! Great!" Li Fan's eyes lit up.

"I really have a good eye, and I picked the two most difficult Taoist techniques at the first glance. This is really suitable for me."

After hearing what Li Fan said, the manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion widened his eyes and looked at Li Fan as if he were a madman.

The steward probably felt in his heart that what he said just now was in vain, right?
These days, are there still people who are so temperamental and brave enough to overcome difficulties?

Li Fan noticed that the manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion had a strange look in his eyes.

Li Fan laughed and said: "I have a quirk, that is, I want to do things that are difficult in the eyes of others. If I can do it if others can't, doesn't it make me look awesome?"

"I'm not worried about the difficulty of Taoism. On the contrary, I feel happy when I see the difficulty. I can't help myself."

Li Fan said this to give a reason.

The real reason is that these Taoist techniques are difficult for others, but they are not difficult for Li Fan!

The more this kind of Taoism, the more successful the practice is, the more the gap between you and others can be widened.

After listening to Li Fan's words, the manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion couldn't help but shake his head.

"There really is everyone."

"Okay, I've told you everything I need to say. If you still plan to practice these two Taoist techniques, I can't stop you." He said.

The manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion entered the secret room at the back, and after a while, he took out two jade slips.

"This is a Taoist jade slip. The Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique has two thousand, five hundred and fifty good merits, and the Tiangang Golden Armor Technique has one thousand, three hundred and thirty fifty good merits." said the manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

He put the jade slip on the table and said: "If you don't succeed in practice in the future, don't blame me. I have advised you."

"Okay! It doesn't matter." Li Fan said.

Li Fan knew that the manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was enthusiastic and had no ill intentions. In fact, his heart was still good for him.

It's just that Li Fan has a white bead mark. The more difficult things he does, the more he can use his own advantages. This is something that this steward cannot know.

Li Fan used his identity token and placed it on the jade token.

The operation token of the manager of Zangjing Pavilion.

"Identity: Li Fan, a direct disciple of Tianxiao Peak

Redeem magic:

Level 550 Taoist Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique, [-] good deeds
Fourth-level Taoist Tiangang Golden Armor Technique, 350 good deeds

Delivery is complete. "

Li Fan's identity token and the jade tablet on the table of the Sutra Pavilion were recorded at the same time, and Li Fan also transferred [-] good deeds.

"Fifth-level Taoism is a bit expensive." Li Fan thought to himself.

The most expensive Taoist skill he had ever bought was the Fireball Technique, a third-level Taoist skill that cost more than 400 spirit stones.

For the fifth-level Taoism purchased today, one good deed is about two spiritual stones, and one fifth-level Taoism is [-] spiritual stones.

It is more than ten times that of fireball.

But it's worth it.

Li Fan took away the Taoist jade slip.

"Is this Tianxiao Peak's direct disciple Li Fan?" asked the manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

"I remember you."

"I've been in this Sutra Pavilion, just call me Taoist Yi Er. If you really master these two Taoist techniques in the future, remember to come to me and tell me."

Yi Er said, he paused, and said: "I don't want you to run away in vain. If you really succeed in cultivation, I have some more valuable information for you to tell you. Just consider it as the price to satisfy my curiosity."

Li Fan nodded when he heard this.

"If you are successful in practice, I will remember this and come to visit the Taoist Master." Li Fan handed over his hand.

Otoji nodded.

Li Fan turned around and left the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

Yi Er took a deep look at Li Fan's leaving figure.

"I don't know if he is a kid who doesn't know how high the sky is, but he is really a gifted person."

"If this kid can really master the Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique, then you can consider recommending him to that Taoist technique. Maybe he can give me an unexpected surprise."

Otoji touched the one-character horizontal whiskers with one finger and said.

After walking out of the Sutra Pavilion, Li Fan slowly calmed down.

He stood at the door of the Sutra Pavilion and began to make arrangements for the next time in his mind.

"The Qijue Sword has been successfully refined. The next step is to refine the defensive magic weapon Mingjing Liuguang Armor in the foundation stage, and the auxiliary magic weapon Shie Jinghui Mingxin Pendant."

"There are 180 eight restraints on the Mingjing Liuguang Armor, and 150 eight restraints on the Purifying Heart Pendant. The two magic weapons can be successfully refined within three months. After that, there will be two hours free every day. You can practice the Fire Phoenix in your daily schedule. Burning Heaven Technique.”

"The daily practice arrangements are still as before. I practice the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra for six hours a day. The rest of the time remains as per the original arrangements. I dedicate three days every month to do sect tasks and accumulate good deeds. , take one day a month to relax, take a walk or meet with classmates to expand your network."

"My arrangement is perfect." Li Fan couldn't help but smile.

Li Fan felt that among all the newly promoted disciples of Wandao Sect, he might be the one with the most abundant life.

Although Li Fan is also busy, he is not running around for immediate things, but paving the way for the future and making plans. This level is much higher than other Wandao Sect disciples.

Let’s not talk about it, just take Lin Xuxian from Tianshan Peak. He is also in the early stage of foundation building and is also a direct disciple. Lin Xuxian doesn’t have much savings and has been worrying about the cultivation resources for the next month.

Lin Xuxian's senior brothers and sisters are better, but they are not much better.

The Wandao Sect's systems such as the Shan Gong Pavilion and the Sutra Pavilion must have been designed by experts who are proficient in numerology. The mission rewards given to all sect members can be said to be generous, but no one can save up the Shan Gong Pavilion and spend whatever they earn. How much does it fall?

Except for disciples like Li Fan who entered the sect with the qualifications to cultivate immortals, the rest of the disciples were extremely short of time and were on the verge of collapse but couldn't.

Of course, it is precisely because of this design that all the disciples of Wandao Sect have become very capable and never procrastinate in doing things. One year for them is equivalent to three years on the Luo Xing Islands. It is tiring and hard, but The growth is really rapid.

Li Fan somewhat understood why Lin Suqiu, an outer disciple of Wandao Sect who persuaded him to quit when he was on Lingcha Island, was so grateful to the sect.

It does make sense.

This may be the result that the founder of Wandao Sect wanted after careful consideration. To some extent, this is also the well-intentioned result of the descendants of the sect.

Li Fan thought of these.

"Haha, fortunately, I was prepared in advance. As long as I don't let up, I can do three years of casual cultivation in one year here." Li Fan smiled and withdrew his thoughts.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Is this Senior Brother Li Fan of Tianxiao Peak? Please stay!"

Li Fan stopped when he heard this, stood still and turned around.

"Are you...Hu Feng?" Li Fan said.

The person who came was none other than Li Fan, who had just entered the Wandao Sect and was responsible for guiding him to the inner disciple Hu Feng.

Hu Feng nodded, and suddenly the skin on his face moved a few times, and he squeezed out a smile that was a little stiff and ugly.

Li Fan looked at Hu Feng with this strange expression and felt a little strange. He didn't know what he wanted to do.

Hu Feng took a few steps forward and came to Li Fan.

"Senior Brother Li, I greeted you when you entered. At that time, I didn't know that you and Elder Yi had made an agreement. I may not have greeted you well that day. Senior Brother, please forgive me."

"I have gone to the foot of Tianxiao Peak to look for you twice before, but the handyman disciple said that you have been practicing Qing Dynasty, so I didn't bother you."

"It's a coincidence that I met you this time."

Hu Feng said this and took out a paper bag from the storage bag.

"I heard that you like spiritual planting, senior brother. I did a sect mission before and got a pack of seeds of the fourth-level elixir Ye Shenhua. I haven't reached this level of spiritual planting myself, so I can't use it. Why don't I give it to senior brother? You can make the most of it."

Hu Feng said and handed the paper bag to Li Fan.

Li Fan understood it at a glance.

Hu Feng is giving a gift!
Wandaomen needs resources everywhere. Although the seeds of the fourth-level elixir are not as valuable as the elixir itself, it is still a good deed. How can it not be used?
However, Li Fan saw that Hu Feng's expression was unnatural, and his gestures and techniques for giving things were quite unfamiliar. It was obvious that this inner disciple seldom did such things as gift-giving, and even resisted a little, showing a certain attitude in every aspect. The stock is awkward.

Seeing Hu Feng like this, Li Fan sighed.

"Hu Feng, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to resort to these pretense."

After hearing this, Hu Feng's face suddenly turned red and then turned white.

He pursed his lips and said, "I was not polite to you, senior brother, so just think of it as my apology. Please accept it."

Li Fan shook his head slightly.

"Hu Feng, it really doesn't have to be like this. I have been here at Wandao Sect for three months, and I have some understanding of the way people behave here. All disciples do this to strangers and even fellow disciples who are not familiar with them."

"There is nothing worthy of apology in the first place. You did nothing wrong. You were neither unreasonable nor contemptuous that day."

"And I can see that you are not good at giving gifts and asking for favors, and it seems that you are not well-off either."

Li Fan looked at the seeds in Hu Feng's hand.

Yes, Li Fan has never seen anyone give gifts or seeds in his life.

This is obviously a sign of having to make do with it if you don't have enough money.

Hu Feng's face turned red and he remained silent.

Seeing him like this, Li Fan sighed.

"If anything happens, just tell me directly. If nothing happens, I will go back to Tianxiao Peak to practice." Li Fan said.

Hu Feng stood there motionless, and Li Fan didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, he shook his head and prepared to leave.

"Senior Brother Li, I want to join your service!" Hu Feng shouted suddenly.

Li Fan stopped and looked at Hu Feng, with a somewhat surprised look in his eyes.

Hu Feng finally mustered up the courage to say this. His face was already red, but his words were much fluent.

"Senior Brother Li, I want to join you!"

"Although I am an inner disciple, I come from a humble background and my family cannot give me much support."

"Fortunately, I have some spiritual qualifications and a good foundation. I was accepted into the Wandao Sect and became an inner disciple."

"However, the pressure to survive among thousands of sects is too great. I have no foundation, so I can only squeeze myself. I only sleep two or three hours a day, constantly complete sect tasks, accumulate good deeds, and move forward step by step."

"It's just that I can't hold on any longer."

Hu Feng was quite excited when he said this.

"I don't want to blame the Wandao Sect. I have really grown a lot here, but the rules here are clear and cruel. As an inner disciple, I am exhausted every day. If there is a slight mistake, I may not have enough resources to practice. Once I don't have enough access, then I If you fail to pass the assessment of inner disciples, you will either be persuaded by the sect to withdraw, or you will be assigned a resource point that the sect does not care about to guard."

"I shoulder the expectations of my family and must not fall behind among the inner disciples."

Li Fan looked into Hu Feng's eyes and felt that he was very serious.

"Aren't all inner disciples like this?" Li Fan asked.

Hu Feng took a deep breath and said: "If it were a completely fair competition among the inner sect, it would be fine if I lost, but in fact it is not the case."

"The rules of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, the sect is the largest, followed by the head, elders, inner and outer sect deacons, inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, etc."

"The most precious resource for everyone in the sect is actually time."

"Master, the time of the elders is extremely precious, so some things will be handed over to the people below, sometimes to a direct disciple, sometimes to the deacons of the inner and outer sects."

"The direct disciples, the deacons of the inner and outer sects, also need to cultivate themselves, so they will use some unimportant tasks as good deeds or directly hand them over to the disciples below."

"When I first started, I never thought about this matter from this aspect. After all, my family was too small and no one knew about these things. When I realized it, the other inner disciples around me were all related to some direct disciples, or Deacons build relationships and are able to take well-paying assignments from them.”

"This does not violate the rules of the sect. It can only be said to be a matter of human nature. I accepted it, but I didn't understand this at the time. When I came to my senses, I was already outside the network."

"There are missions with rich rewards, which either require superb skills, are completed by a team, or are assigned directly from above."

"Being outside my network, I had no choice but to take on some trivial tasks. Although it was not difficult, there were too few good deeds, so I had to rely on quantity, which in turn delayed my practice time."

"I have seen this clearly. If some changes don't happen, I will definitely not be able to pass the next inner examination."

When Li Fan heard this, he already understood.

"So, I am the latest direct disciple to enter Tianxiao Peak, and I am not familiar with people around me, and you want to take refuge in me because of this?" Li Fan asked.

Hu Feng nodded.

He said: "All Elder Peaks will have matters that the elders are responsible for. These matters are usually handed over to the direct disciples. Elder Yi did not have direct disciples before, and the inner sect deacons were responsible for handling them. Now that Senior Brother Li is apprenticed to Elder Yi, this matter must be dealt with It will be handed over to you.”

"I know Senior Brother Li may not trust me yet, but it doesn't matter. As long as you give me a chance, I will prove my worth!"

"Others are not more diligent than me. I even work harder than others and do things more efficiently. It's just that I was a step slower before and now I'm passive."

"If Senior Brother Li is willing to accept me, I, Hu Feng, will go through fire and water for you."

Hu Feng clasped his hands and said to Li Fan.

Li Fan raised his eyebrows and realized a lot in an instant.

"There are still such operations in Wandao Sect... but it is not unexpected. After all, someone has told me that Wandao Sect is also a sect, but sects are also made up of people. Wherever there are people, human kindness and sophistication are indispensable."

"However, this should not be understood simply by using four words: human nature and sophistication."

Li Fan's mind jumped quickly and he thought of many things at once.

"Hu Feng's words are reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing false about them. There is a network of connections in the sect, but it does not violate the rules of the sect."

"No...it can even be said that this is not a hidden rule, but an explicit rule."

"The headmaster and the elders must be well aware of these things, but they do not manage them, which shows that this is tacit approval, and the original intention should be... to cultivate the abilities of disciples at all levels!"

"According to what Hu Feng said, direct disciples can get the most resources, and then allocate them to the inner disciples and outer disciples below. This in itself is training the direct disciples to manage subordinates and identify talents, and exercise the ability to organize a group. And the relationship network cultivated by direct disciples, if they become elders or even leaders in the future, this will be the real team that manages the sect."

"After all, there are people doing things everywhere in the sect, and the status and influence of the sect are not just a matter of putting a title on your head, and someone will immediately obey you, but you need to be cultivated and established bit by bit. prestige."

"I speculate that all direct disciples have such a network of connections behind them... Of course, some will do well, some will do poorly, and some will know but have no intention of doing it."

"No one will point this out. In fact, the upper echelons of the sect are observing the disciples' ability to see through the rules and use them."

"When you think about it, it's quite wonderful."

Li Fan's perspective was not that of Hu Feng's, but that he looked down after raising his awareness.

Hu Feng only wanted a specific thing to defect to, for a mission with higher rewards, but what Li Fan saw was the talent cultivation of Wandao Sect hidden under the bright rules.

After thinking about this, Li Fan felt more and more that the founder of the Wandao Sect, the person who established the rules, had extremely far-reaching thoughts.

Li Fan realized this in a moment.

His mind returned to the matter of Hu Feng.

Li Fan knew that Hu Feng had sincerely surrendered to him, and there was no such thing as a false defection.

Firstly, there is nothing about Li Fan that makes other big figures in the sect secretly plot against him. Secondly, with Hu Feng’s clumsy gift-giving method and the appalling gift of elixir seeds, someone really wants to plot against Li Fan. But if Li Fan has a little bit You won't have the brainpower to do this.

Li Fan also had some sympathy for Hu Feng.

He understood Hu Feng's situation very well.

If his uncle hadn't led him to cultivate immortality back then, Li Fan himself might have been in the same situation as Hu Feng.

Li Fan thought of his uncle Li Yuan and sighed softly in his heart.

However, although Li Fan was moved, he had his own rules of conduct.

He has sympathy, but he will not be soft-hearted and lower his standards just because of sympathy. Instead, he will act in accordance with his own principles.

Li Fan asked: "What special skills, Taoist skills, talents do you have?"

"If I promise you, what support can you provide me?"

Hu Feng felt uneasy when he saw that Li Fan had not agreed.

When he heard Li Fan ask this question, he suddenly felt hopeful again.

"Senior Brother Li, I am at the door and can do things for you and save your time. In addition..."

Hu Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "In addition, although my Hu family is a small family, it has a unique ability to raise various spiritual insects. Those spiritual insects have their own uses. Although the grade is not high, their specific effects are beneficial to many people." Things help.”

"I have a talent for cultivating spiritual insects. Not only do I like it, but I am also good at it. I have also thought about cultivating spiritual insects and selling them to obtain some resources among the Ten Thousand Sects."

"only……"

Hu Feng said this with a bitter look on his face, and said: "It's just that I'm exhausted for good deeds and don't have the extra resources and time to cultivate spiritual insects. I just thought about it and let it go."

"Huh?" When Li Fan heard this, his heart moved.

Li Fan knows that all kinds of spiritual insects in the world of immortality are really very useful things!
Spirit insects, in the world of immortality, are different from spirit beasts and spirit pets, and are an independent category.

Spiritual beasts and spiritual pets are generally birds and beasts.

This kind of spiritual beasts and spiritual pets have quite strong offensive abilities or innate magical powers, which is equivalent to an extra combat power for the monks.

Some sects even elevate the status of spiritual beasts and spiritual pets to a level as important as the monks' own cultivation.

For example, the Beast Control Sect and the Beast King Sect.

Spirit insects are another story.

Generally speaking, spirit insects do not have very strong attack power. Because they are small in size, few monks keep spirit insects as pets.

But the scope of application of spiritual insects is many.

As far as the spiritual insects that Li Fan knows, there are the guide bees that explore and guide the way, the brewing insects that can brew fairy wine, the wire scorpions that can decompose broken magic weapons and recycle them, and so on.

There are many types of spiritual insects, most of them are auxiliary, but if used properly, they will have unexpected effects.

However, raising spiritual insects requires special talent, carefulness, and is trivial and labor-intensive, so few monks study it.

At this time, Li Fan heard that Hu Feng had the ability to cultivate spiritual insects, and he felt that Hu Feng could be used.

"What is the highest level of spiritual insects you can cultivate?" Li Fan asked.

"Third level, some special varieties of fourth level can also be tried. There is about [-]% chance of successful cultivation, [-]% certainty." Hu Feng replied.

Li Fan listened and nodded slightly.

"Okay, you can be considered a capable person."

"I agree to today's matter."

Hu Feng immediately showed joy.

Li Fan said: "I don't have many rules. I just don't like betrayal by others."

"I allow you to make mistakes when you do things, but you can't deceive me."

Hu Feng said immediately: "I understand."

He thought for a moment and said: "Senior brother, in fact, all disciples of Wandao Sect have their own information networks. If I get any new information, or think it is useful to you, I will summarize it regularly and inform senior brother."

Li Fan nodded.

He did not doubt Hu Feng's ability in this area.

Li Fan feels that no one in this world is a fool, but everyone's reaction speed is different. This may be due to the family's teachings, but rarely due to talent.

After all, Hu Feng's life in Wandao Sect was not satisfactory, but in Luo Xing Islands, he was a little genius. How could his qualifications be worse?
Hu Feng suffered the loss of poor information and would always have to make up for it.

Even if you can't build other connections, there must be latecomers who have your own connections.

Li Fan said a few words, agreed on a method of contact with Hu Feng, and then left Tianzun Peak with his sword.

Return to Tianxiao Peak.
