Chapter 1129 Selection
Chapter 1129 Selection
"Elder Lu."
When we walked into the hall, the elders inside greeted us warmly.
Although they are also in the Foundation Establishment stage, they are all inner sect elders, and their status in the Qinglin Sect is lower than Lu Luan.
Looking at Lu Luan, the elders inside all revealed deep envy in their eyes.
"Elder Li, Elder Wan..."
Lu Luan bowed in return.
"Elder Lu, you came here for..."
Some elders began to ask Lu Luan why he came.
Lu Luan is now a true elder, and he would not come here to do things without any reason.
Lu Luan smiled and said, "My fellow elders, I came here to recruit more than 20 disciples to my Qingyun Peak."
"Elder Lu, are you going to recruit disciples?"
Everyone was shocked to hear the news.
"Not bad." Lu Luan nodded with a smile.
"Elder Lu, aren't you going to continue traveling?" These people were very surprised at his decision, because judging from his past, Lu Luan was always a restless person. Those who paid attention to him in the sect were also secretly guessing that he would not stay in the sect for long this time and would leave again, looking for opportunities to reach a higher level.
"Well, I will stay in the sect from now on. I have been traveling outside for so many years and nearly lost my life several times. I am tired and exhausted. I will stay in the sect and make contributions. It is also good. After all, I have broken through to the foundation-building stage. My wish has come true. Moreover, I have a hunch that getting the Yi Mu Na Qi Jue has exhausted my luck. If I go out again, my luck will not be so good, and it is even possible that I will never come back. In cultivation, you must have a sense of relaxation and tension, and learn to control your desires. With my qualifications and age, there is no hope for the golden elixir. Why not stay in the sect and enjoy my 200 years of life in peace and stability."
Lu Luan looked relieved at this moment.
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The most difficult thing in life is to be content. Most of those who pursue higher realms end up dead. Too much desire will eventually leave people with nothing.
Seeing that Lu Luan had such an understanding, the elders were more impressed in their hearts. This greatly changed their perception of Lu Luan. Before this, everyone believed that Lu Luan was a complete lunatic in cultivation, and they were thinking that Lu Luan's next step should be to refine his spiritual roots.
Lu Luan's move also brought him closer to everyone. It turned out that this cultivation fanatic was just an ordinary person like everyone else, except that he practiced harder and had better luck.
After everyone recovered from their surprise, they quickly said, "That's right, those who are content can have a good ending."
An elder stepped forward and whispered, "Elder Lu, your decision is right. You brought back a copy of the top yellow-level technique. I'm afraid some of the strong men in the sect are eyeing you. As soon as you leave the sect, someone might attack you, or even search your soul to see if there are any other secrets in your memory."
"Yes, some of the strong men in the sect have very vicious minds. They dare not attack you in the sect, but if you leave the sect, that may not be the case. However, even in the sect, you have to be more careful." Someone else reminded him.
"My elders, I will pay attention."
Lu Luan looked solemn.
He had already considered these things before deciding to hand over the Yi Mu Na Qi Jue to the sect. Although there would be trouble, in order to maintain his current normal practice track, he finally decided to hand it over to the sect.
Moreover, as long as they are within the sect, I believe no one will find fault with him. Now the entire sect knows his contribution. If something happens in the sect, the morale of the entire sect will be greatly shaken, which will affect the spiritual power generated, which is what the leader of the Qinglin Sect does not want to see.
"Elder Lu, you are a true elder, so you should be qualified to recruit disciples from the core disciples. How many places have you been allocated?"
An elder took him to sit down next to him and asked while pouring tea.
Lu Luan picked up the teacup and replied, "Elder Wang gave me five."
In Qinglin Sect, Elder Wang is now his backer.
"Not bad, you are able to recruit five core disciples with yellow-level spiritual roots. These people will all be your helpers in the future." Everyone said enviously. They did not have the qualifications to recruit core disciples, and of course the core disciples usually looked down on them.
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Luan said bitterly: "I have been to the core hall, but those core disciples don't seem to want to join my Qingyun Peak."
"Most of the core disciples in the sect are descendants of elders and core disciples, and they are arrogant and proud."
The elders also expressed their understanding of this.
In fact, they themselves may not necessarily want their descendants to worship on the peak of Lu Luan.
"Dear elders, many of our inner disciples have not yet become disciples," Lu Luan asked.
"Well, 80% left."
After an elder who looked like a woman answered, she waved her hand and a dense list of names appeared in front of her.
These are the inner disciples who have not yet become disciples.
The woman said, "Elder Lu, please choose some for yourself. After you have chosen, I will call them over and you can check them again."
There were simply too many of these inner disciples, and their talents were almost the same anyway, so Lu Luan didn't want to choose too many. He drew a few drops of water from the teacup and waved them out. The water drops shattered in the air, and then shattered again, eventually dispersing into hundreds of small drops of water that fell on those names.
Lu Luan said: "Just choose them."
To be the one who stands on the top of your own mountain, you also need an opportunity.
He selected more than a hundred people and waited for them to arrive before making the selection.
"Okay, Elder Lu, wait a moment, I will send a message to them right away."
The woman smiled and nodded, then picked out the names of those people. With a thought, a string of information spread out here.
At the same time, around Qinglin Gate and outside Qinglin Gate, the tokens on the waists of many inner disciples made sounds.
"Elder Lu Yang is going to accept disciples, and he wants to recruit twenty disciples."
"But is it Elder Lu Yang who brought the top yellow-level technique to the sect?"
"Well, that's him."
"Elder Lu Yang and I both have superior spiritual roots. He was able to break through to the foundation-building stage. If I could become his disciple, would I also have a chance to break through? The life span of a person in the foundation-building stage is about two hundred years."
"Elder Lu Yang is a true elder."
"Let's go to the inner gate hall. We can't keep Elder Lu waiting for too long..."
After receiving this information, many disciples put down what they were doing and flew towards the inner gate hall.
The identity of a true elder is very attractive to these disciples. Even though Lu Luan is not a true elder, there are still many disciples willing to join his mountain.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, more than two hundred disciples were standing outside the inner gate hall.
Looking at those excited faces, Lu Luan was a little stunned. Compared with the treatment he received in the core hall, it was completely a world of difference.
Moreover, he had originally selected only about a hundred people, but now there are more than two hundred of them, which is double the number.
Some of the inner disciples actually did not receive any notification from the elders, but after hearing about it from their good friends, they followed along.
There are too many disciples in the sect now, and the resources they are allocated on a daily basis are becoming less and less. It is even more difficult to find a master with profound skills. If you want to achieve higher achievements in the sect, you have to seize every opportunity.
Although Lu Luan was only in the initial stage of foundation building, he was still a true elder, and they flocked to him.
"Elder Lu, what are you going to choose?"
The elders on both sides asked him with a smile.
Lu Luan said helplessly: "With so many people, we can only have a competition."
Or they compete among themselves.
An elder beside him nodded: "That's good too. If they compete with each other, we can see clearly the details of their cultivation."
Lu Luan stood up.
When the inner sect disciples gathered in the inner sect hall saw that he was about to speak, they all immediately fell silent.
Watching him expectantly.
Lu Luan glanced at them and said, "Dear disciples, follow me to Qingyun Peak now. After the competition is over, I will select fifty people to be my disciples."
Seeing so many people responded to him, Lu Luan added more places.
When he was in the Haoyue Sect, he had led hundreds of thousands of disciples, so it was naturally no problem for him to lead only dozens of disciples now.
"Thank you, Elder Lu."
Hearing that fifty more disciples were needed, all the inner disciples who had rushed over showed surprise. There were only about two hundred people now, and it was almost one in four to be chosen, so the competition was far less intense than usual. Moreover, they could become disciples of the true elders.
All of a sudden, all the disciples felt that they had found a big bargain. This was a huge adventure.
"Elder Li, please help me find a few miscellaneous elders to go to Qingyun Peak to host the competition later."
Lu Luan turned around and asked an elder for help.
"No problem, leave it to me, I will bring the elder to you soon."
The elder agreed.
"Thank you."
"My dear elders, I will get busy now."
"Come with me," after saying goodbye, Lu Luan called out to the inner disciples in front of him and took them to fly to Qingyun Peak.
If we wait any longer, more and more inner disciples will come here.
Then I saw a large group of people flying through Qinglin Gate.
"What is this for?"
Some young core disciples saw this and asked in confusion.
"It's Elder Lu Yang who wants to recruit disciples. He came to the Core Hall to look for them before, but it seems that no core disciples are willing to worship him as a master. So he had to go to the Inner Gate Hall. Can his mountain accommodate so many inner disciples at once?"
Someone in the know answered.
"It's useless to recruit more inner disciples. How many of them will have the opportunity to break through to the foundation-building stage like him? The resources provided by the sect are getting less and less now. Taking in too many disciples will only be a burden."
"Who cares? If you don't have the resources, then go down the mountain and gain experience..."
Everyone was talking about it.
After a while, Lu Luan brought people to Qingyun Peak. After arriving, he immediately activated the large formation on Qingyun Peak to isolate the inner disciples who were coming later.
Those who come late have no chance.
The great formation on his Qingyun Peak is quite powerful. Without his permission, even an elder at the Half-Step Golden Core realm cannot enter.
This alone made many outer and inner sect elders envious.
After the inner disciples who entered felt the concentration of spiritual energy on the mountain, they all secretly made up their minds to stay on Qingyun Peak no matter what.
Those who heard the news and rushed over were blocked by the formation. They were very discouraged and secretly cursed themselves for not coming earlier.
Elder Li was also very quick. Soon he brought a few elders who were usually in charge of the trivial matters of the inner disciples to preside over the next competition for Lu Luan.
Qingyun Peak is a true mountain, with a complete range of venues, including a place specially provided for disciples to compete. A few days of operation is enough for these inner disciples to complete their competition.
After the elders arrived, the competition began.
Lu Luan did not set up a too complicated test. He just divided people of the same age and level of cultivation together. After several competitions, the top thirty would be qualified to join Qingyun Peak. The other twenty would be given to those who were defeated but performed very well, and they would be selected by him.
After three days of competition, the fifty disciples were selected.
Qingyun Peak is very large, and it can easily accommodate 500 people, let alone 50 people.
Lu Luan would naturally not be satisfied with the current number of people. After the resources allocated by the sect came down, the number would be increased little by little, and he would have to start selecting from the menial disciples.
He did not plan to practice in the future, but devoted himself to teaching the disciples on Qingyun Peak.
For him, this process is also a great practice.
"In about a hundred years, the side effects of taking the spirit insects will disappear."
Looking at Qingyun Peak starting to rise, at night, Lu Luan stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the faint lights and said.
Although fifty disciples had joined, Qingyun Peak still seemed very lonely.
Other true teaching mountains have hundreds or thousands of people.
After more than forty years of cultivation, he could feel that the trauma caused by the backlash of the spiritual insects had begun to recover gradually. After a hundred years, it would probably be almost healed. By then, he would be able to practice that earth-level magical power and the earth-level essence-refining technique.
In his current state, practicing magical powers and techniques of this difficulty would yield little results. Since re-cultivation would be helpful for practicing the Daoxuan Sutra, he might as well devote himself to the re-cultivation, experience the process of re-cultivation, and push the Daoxuan Sutra to a more advanced level.
Over the past few decades, with the improvement of the Daoxuan Sutra, his Qi refining strength has improved a lot. While waiting for the spirit insect to backfire and recover, he has tried his best not to waste his precious time.
He planned to stay in Qinglinmen for another hundred years. After the reconstruction was completed after a hundred years, he would prepare to practice the Jinglian Gong method.
"In two years, the Dan fruit will be ripe."
Lu Luan sensed his Huangting. The dan fruit inside was already bright red and emitting an alluring fragrance. It had entered the final stage of maturity.
In order to produce this elixir, Lingyao Cave Heaven put in a lot of effort.
The spiritual medicines he had collected with great effort were almost consumed, and the entire spiritual medicine cave became lifeless. At this time, the cave was still running, squeezing out the last nutrients inside to nourish the elixir fruit.
When the elixir is ripe and you take it, your physical body will improve a lot.
After looking at the elixir, Lu Luan sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the divine power from the bodies of those divine beasts.
