Nine Tribulations True Immortal

Chapter 990
"I haven't answered Xue Yingluo yet!" Dongli Hermit smiled bitterly: "To be honest, she used retreat as an excuse to transfer the position of Palace Master to our Ice Sect in advance, making it difficult for us to refuse. After all, they are also trying to hit the bottleneck. Try to get one more Nascent Soul cultivator in our faction. We should cooperate both emotionally and rationally..."

"But the problem now is: Over the years, the talents of our Ice Sect disciples have been adjusted to zero. There is no master who has reached the alchemy stage of Dzogchen, and there are only two of them in the late stage of alchemy. A martial lunatic who only knows how to practice and fight is not suitable for the post of master of the palace."

"Over the years, although we ice sect elders have tried their best to find talents, it takes time for young disciples to grow up. Just like Xi'er, she has reached the Dzogchen cultivation level of the crystal transformation stage after only ten years of entry. Given time, It is believed that she can also advance to the alchemy stage within five years and become the elder of the palace. With her talent and speed of cultivation, she is expected to reach the late stage of alchemy within 30 years. At that time, she will take over the position of palace master The best candidate for her...but right now, she is only at the Dzogchen stage, not even an elder, so she has no qualifications at all!"

The hermit Dongli also slapped the table indignantly and said: "And Xue Yingluo proposed to hand over the post of Palace Master at this critical moment, probably because of this, and deliberately came to join us in the army!"

After Qin Yuxuan heard this, his eyes rolled, and Fang asked with some doubts: "Senior Dongli, if you can't propose a suitable candidate, how will things develop?"

"If we can't come up with a convincing candidate, then it is estimated that people from the Xue Yingluo will ask Xue Yingluo's junior sister, Xue Yingxiu, who is also a Dzogchen cultivation base in the alchemy period, to be the palace master. She was He has been serving as Xue Yingluo's deputy, assisting her in handling the affairs of the palace, and is also quite prestigious among the disciples, and can be regarded as a suitable candidate to take over as the palace lord... However, in this way, since we, the Ice Sect, cannot propose a suitable candidate. According to the original "Ice and Snow Covenant" agreement, the master of the Ice Spirit Palace after Xue Yingxiu will still be a person from the Xue faction, and will not return to us until the next master. In the hands of the Bing faction...but I don't know how many years later! By then, I am afraid that the important positions in the entire Ice Spirit Palace will be controlled by the people of the Xue faction!" Dongli said with a long sigh at this time.

After Qin Yuxuan heard about it, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that there would be such a conspiracy in it for a seemingly simple closed-door training, and then handing over the position of Palace Master in advance.This really made him witness a palace fight scene in the world of cultivating immortals!
So he couldn't help asking: "Senior Dongli, as one of the elders of the Ice Spirit Palace, can't you stand up and be the palace master? You are already in the middle stage of alchemy, and you are only one step away from the late stage of alchemy. Although it is not as strong as that of Xue Yingxiu, it should be qualified to be the Palace Master!"

Dongli Hermit shook his head and said: "This is not possible! If it was in a peaceful and prosperous age, with my cultivation base in the middle stage of alchemy, with the support of the Presbyterian Church and the Ice Sect, it is not impossible to be reluctant to take the position. Palace Master. But the problem is that we are now facing the catastrophe of the war between righteousness and demons. Whether it is my strength or the ability to coordinate and plan the overall situation, it is not enough to convince the crowd, and it is not enough to lead the Ice Spirit Palace through this disaster... …If Xue Yingluo hadn't seen this, she wouldn't have offered to transfer the position of Palace Master. Otherwise, it would have been making wedding clothes for others."

Speaking of this, she also said seriously: "Nephew Qin, you don't have to worry too much about my position as the Palace Master of the Ice Spirit Palace! If it's not possible, it doesn't matter if Xue Yingxiu is the Palace Master. When the enemy is at hand, forgive her for not daring to do anything to suppress us and cause civil strife. I think you should focus on Xi'er!"

After hearing this, Qin Yuxuan's face also turned cold.Apart from investigating the matter of his mother's hairpin, he was most concerned about Yun Zhongxi's situation.So, he immediately asked: "Senior Dongli, before the disciple entered the Ice Spirit Palace, I heard a few people from the Spirit Beast Mountain chatting in Yanjing City, and one of them, He Zhiyuan, was in front of his senior brother. Threatening to pursue Xi'er. After entering the noble sect, I heard from others that it seems that there is not only one person pursuing Xi'er, and there are many outstanding male disciples from the sect who have plans for her... What is going on here? ? You must know that Xi'er and I have been engaged to each other for a long time!"

Before Dongli Hermit could answer, Bing Jing'er couldn't help interjecting: "Fellow Daoist Qin! Speaking of which, it's because Junior Sister Xi's performance in recent years has been too dazzling... There are even rumors that she is the next Bingling Palace The strongest contender for the Palace Master. In this way, other sects will naturally spend a lot of effort to find out about her, understand her characteristics of martial arts, and her temperament, in order to prepare for future needs... So, soon someone I found out that the reason why she practiced the ice-type kung fu so quickly was because of her icy muscles and bone physique. After the news spread, many high-level monks who wanted to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage felt very bad for her. For the sake of it! He Zhiyuan, as you said, is actually the weakest person among the alchemy cultivators who are pursuing her!"

"What? Advance to the Nascent Soul Stage? A monk in the Alchemy Stage wants to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, doesn't he mainly rely on himself to break through the bottleneck? At most, he needs to take pills. What does it have to do with Xi'er's icy muscles and bones? "After hearing this, Qin Yuxuan couldn't help being stunned.

"It has a lot to do with it!" At this time, the hermit Dongli sighed and said, "Nephew Qin, do you know what is the biggest difficulty for a monk in the alchemy stage to be promoted to a monk in the Yuanying stage?"

"This... Could it be that your cultivation level is not enough? You require too much spiritual power?" Qin Yuxuan frowned.

"No! When they retreated and attacked, of course their cultivation had reached the alchemy stage of Dzogchen, otherwise they would not have dared to try it!" Dongli hermit shook his head and said.

"Could it be that it is too difficult to break through some bottleneck?" After thinking for a while, he guessed again.

"No! Although it is indeed necessary to hit the bottleneck, but in terms of this obstacle alone, the difficulty of forming a pill with a crystal is similar to that of a baby with a broken pill! You can handle it!" Dongli Hermit shook his head again.

"What kind of difficulty is that?" Qin Yuxuan really couldn't figure it out now.

"The catastrophe of the heart demon! This is the most difficult thing!" The hermit Dongli stood up at this time and said slowly: "When the broken pill transforms into a baby, the body will have severe pain. At the same time, there will be illusions in front of the eyes, and the whole person's mind They will all be in an illusion. At this time, the catastrophe of the demons begins... The monk will experience what he fears the most in the illusion, and it will be so realistic that he will not feel that this is an illusion. If he If your will is not strong enough to resist the erosion of your inner demons, you will go mad and fail to advance."

"After failing to advance to the rank, those who are light will drop a small realm and become monks in the late stage of alchemy, and those who are serious will even go insane and go crazy... But from the records of ten thousand years, every one hundred alchemy stage Among the consummated monks, there are only one or two cases that can successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage. The losers are depressed and have many sequelae. Almost no one can recover after the failure of the attack, and succeed in hitting the bottleneck again." Dongli hermit sighed.
