Lonely Immortal

Spring passes and autumn comes, a year passes quickly, and the Taoist Competition is coming.

Zhang Zhiwen was sitting on an airship at this time. This airship is a magical weapon that also incorporates Xuanmen Taoism. Although it is not comparable to the airships of the sects, it can still be regarded as something with some appearance. This kind of flying magical weapon is generally used by sects. There is still no such thing, and Xuan Dan Sect also has such an airship because of its historical origins.

At this time, there were already many people on the airship, the leader of which was naturally Gao Wukong, the head of Xuandan Sect, followed by Yang Linchen, Liu Suifeng and others. In addition, there were more than a dozen monks who had just advanced to the first level of Taoism. Naturally, these monks succeeded in breaking through the Dao root because they took Zhang Zhiwen's elixir. This allowed the Xuan Dan Sect's number of monks participating in the Dao Tradition Competition to increase from four to nearly twenty.

According to the words of the leader Gao Wukong, this is simply God's will, and Zhang Zhiwen is undoubtedly a nobleman of Xuandan Sect, and these dozen monks are all under fifty years old, so the lineup of Xuandan Sect is already quite impressive. , seems to be no less inferior than the middle sect.

Then the leader Gao Wukong is of course very proud and full of enthusiasm. He is full of confidence in this Taoist competition. In his opinion, if there are no surprises, in the competition between the alchemy group and the weapon refining group, Xuan Dan Sect can definitely do it. Got the top three positions, because these more than ten monks are either alchemy or weapon. It is more powerful than ordinary middle-level sects. For example, the Wanji Sect does not have as many alchemists and weapon refiners as the Xuandan Sect. As for other Taoist methods, that is not what the Xuandan Sect needs to consider. If Dao achieves certain good results, then promotion to the middle sect is almost a sure thing!

"Come on, everyone has worked hard. Let's have some tea..."

The leader, Gao Wukong, was in a happy mood. He sat at the head of the table, then raised his tea cup and invited everyone to drink together. Everyone also raised their glasses in return. The atmosphere was quite relaxed and harmonious. Even in Gaochang, the leader Gao Wukong was not like before. Even with that gloomy look on his face, everyone seemed to like him a lot. This is how people feel refreshed during happy events.

"The Taoist Competition is held once a hundred years. According to past practice, each Taoist Competition is divided into regions. Our Xuandan Sect is in Ding Wei, and Ding Wei also has ten medium-sized sects, so naturally we will participate in There is a grand competition for the Taoism of D, and there are ten directions in A, B, C, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin Renkui, that is, ten regions..."

The leader, Gao Wukong, took advantage of the time when the airship was heading towards its destination. He began to tell some things about the Taoist Competition. In fact, many people knew about these things, but the leader, Gao Wukong, also wanted to talk about it as a routine. , so he continued, "Of course, in addition to the regional competition, the competition in each region The Taoist competition is also conducted in groups, with ten groups in total. There is naturally a competition among the ten Taoist sects. Each group has a Taoist envoy from the top ten immortal sects responsible for supervising and judging. After the disciples of each sect participate in the competition, see The final ranking determines the ranking of the sect.”

Zhang Zhiwen also heard what the head Gao Wukong said, because before coming, the head Gao Wukong took Yang Linchen and others to talk to him about this matter alone, and because of the elixir, the head Gao Wu Sora also specially praised Zhang a lot. Zhiwen, but praise is praise, the leader Gao Wukong is not a penny, and Zhang Zhiwen generally has a little understanding of this old guy. This guy talks nicely and is picky about things, but that's it. Otherwise, how could this old guy do it? Be the leader?

"Originally, our Xuandan Sect is relatively weak, because in terms of the number of people in the alchemy group and the weapon refining group, there are still many sects that surpass us. If the number of people is small, the points we get will definitely be lower, unless we can show up. Extremely powerful and outstanding disciples, but even so, it is impossible for one of us to beat ten others. Here, there is naturally a problem with the calculation of scores. "

When the leader Gao Wukong said this, he glanced at Zhang Zhiwen subconsciously, and then clearly showed an expression of appreciation, but Zhang Zhiwen knew very well that this old guy was very picky and would only praise people and would not give any benefits, otherwise he would An alchemy furnace or something like that would be fine, right? But the old guy didn't give him anything, and looking at the old guy's proud look now, it's not hard to see that he is a little more confident now, because there are more than ten more disciples who can participate in the Taoist competition, so there is less need to rely on him. Zhang Zhiwen and others.

Sure enough, the leader Gao Wukong said again: "This score is actually very simple. Generally speaking, we don't need to know too much about other Taoist competitions, because we basically participate in the alchemy and weapon refining competitions. Of course, some people will participate in other Taoist competitions." If there is a method competition, then let him do it. Let’s talk about how the scores for the alchemy and weapon refining tests are determined, and the calculation of the scores for alchemy and weapon refining is not the same. More, that is to say, the score is ten points out of ten, and then every alchemist or weapon refiner who refines a foundation-building elixir or magic weapon can get a passing score of six points, and then it depends on the quality adjustment score. , look at it, if just one more disciple joins, you can get almost six points for free, does that mean the pressure on our Xuan Dan Sect is reduced?"

The words of the leader Gao Wukong are quite reasonable, because even if you get full marks, you can only defeat about one and a half contestants, and now there are nearly twenty disciples of Xuandan Sect who can participate in the Taoist competition. , and almost all of them are alchemy or weapon refining, so they can basically be very arrogant in the alchemy group and the weapon refining group, and there are basically no opponents who can compete with the Xuan Dan Sect.

Therefore, Xuan Dan Sect is basically guaranteed to win this Taoist competition, but the leader Gao Wukong said: "Of course, in the end we must still calculate the total score. After all, other sects are not idlers, but you don't have to I'm too worried. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's take Wan Jizong as an example. I think there are only about ten sects that can participate in the Taoist competition, right? Wan Jizong is also at the bottom. It is a middle-level sect, and Wan Jizong mainly inherits the Tao method of alchemy and weapon refining, but it seems that only seven or eight disciples can participate in alchemy and weapon refining, and the rest are probably participating in other Tao method competitions. , let’s not say more, as long as we win Wan Jizong, other sects will basically not have a problem, because there are no disciples from other sects to compete with us in the way of earning alchemy and the way of weapon..."

Although the head Gao Wukong is stingy, he still knows the situation of the Taoist Competition very well. The biggest enemy in the Taoist Competition is obviously Wan Jizong, because Wan Jizong also focuses on Dan Dao and Qi Dao. Of course, , their Wan Jizong is a hodgepodge, not as specialized as the Xuan Dan Sect. As for other sects, even if some disciples participate in the alchemy and weapon refining competitions, the number of people is too small, and they may not be able to compete with the Xuan Dan Sect.

Everyone felt much more at ease when they heard what the leader said, because everyone could understand that this was clearly a win-win situation.

"However, I have to say it back. If Wan Jizong or other sects send out one or two monsters, that's not necessarily the case. And such monster disciples must be extremely powerful monks in the way of alchemy or weapons, then If they win the first place in the competition group, this will be a bonus Yes, but the extra points are only 10 full points. Even if both groups get first place, it will be 40 points more. We have twice as many people as them. Ten disciples can just come out to compete. , that’s sixty points, I still don’t believe that Wan Jizong can make a difference?”

The leader, Gao Wukong, pretended to tell everyone not to take it lightly at first, but as he said it, he felt that he was sure of victory and there was no need to worry about anything. This old guy had a very calm personality, but even so, he could not bear it. He couldn't help but make a show of it. This shows how advantageous Xuan Dan Sect's current situation is. Ten disciples, as long as they can successfully refine the foundation-building elixir or foundation-building magic weapon, they can get a basic score of 120 points. However, no matter how hard Wan Jizong works, he can only have a dozen disciples at most. To participate in the competition, they only have a basic score of sixty or seventy points, and then it seems that no matter how they win a good ranking, it will be of no avail.

The leader Gao Wukong is so confident, and the disciples are naturally full of confidence. The other monks participating in the Taoist competition this time are not very old, and most of them are cultivators who have just broken through from the Qi refining stage to foundation building. Because, and because of the help of Zhang Zhiwen, a great nobleman, they immediately obtained the first-level Dan Dao or the first-level Weapon Dao, and then they could participate in such a grand competition. They were also full of ambitions and determined to win.

For a time, everyone was very high-spirited, and the leader Gao Wukong said: "Actually, our Xuandan Sect has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and it is a big sect, so I feel that in this Taoist competition, we must not only win , we need to win big, so that we can let those self-righteous mid-level sects see if our Xuandan Sect is still a disgrace to the past, so, Everyone, we must perform well in this Taoist competition. Not to mention Wan Jizong, we can also compete with other mid-level sects, and the ten major immortal sects have Taoist envoys coming to watch. If we perform well, we will be able to make all the top ten immortal sects take a high look at our Xuan Dan Sect. Don’t think that our Xuan Dan Sect is still the same Xuan Dan Sect..."

The leader Gao Wukong became more and more excited as he talked, but yes, the Xuandan Sect had been silent and lonely for so many years, and now he had a chance to rise again. However, at this time, the leader Gao Wukong did not mention Zhang Zhiwen at all. Okay, this old guy is worthy of being the leader. He is going to take the credit anyway. Although he has not burned bridges, it is well known to everyone who passes by.

But at this moment, other people seemed to have been attracted by the words of the leader Gao Wukong, and naturally they didn't take Zhang Zhiwen seriously, because in their view, Zhang Zhiwen was a fellow disciple with a good heart, and he was also willing to take Some preserved elixirs with Taoist meaning were given to everyone to enhance the Taoist intention, but they felt that Zhang Zhiwen was just a second-level Taoist root, not that powerful, because there were Liu Suifeng, Gao Chang, and others who were more powerful than him. There is Yang Linchen.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen just hid his Dao roots. There is no need for him to take the initiative to show the Dao roots of Dan Dao and Qi Dao now.

But it was obvious that both the Xuan Dan Sect and its leader Gao Wukong had considerable ambitions. Only Gao Chang curled his lips in disapproval and murmured in a low voice: "Tsk, wait until the competition is over." It’s not too late to brag, so what if you beat Wan Jizong? In the end, you will definitely be relatively low in the end. Unless you get the first place in the middle sect, I think it’s ridiculous to say these big words now..."

Of course, he said this very quietly, and only Zhang Zhiwen next to him could hear it. Then Gao Chang continued to mutter dissatisfiedly: "Besides, isn't this all the credit of Brother Zhiwen? You are all getting carried away now. It was not good in the beginning. Frowning? Really..."

Zhang Zhiwen didn't really care when he heard that. It didn't matter if the sect leader Gao Wukong was stingy. Since Xuandan Sect was doing well now, he was relieved. If Xuandan Sect could be promoted to a medium-level sect, it would be good for him, Zhang Zhiwen and Qin Luoyun. There was no need to bother with the sect leader Gao Wukong.
