Chapter 31: The Sword Cultivator is Really Terrible

visa? What is a visa?

Never heard of it?

Ning Mingmei: "Do you know how the Qingji Sect was established?"

As a spy, Bai Bugui certainly knew that it was the third time that Tianmen collapsed.

Tianmen collapsed three times. Although it sounds like a shoddy project, the reasons for the three collapses were different.

The first collapse occurred in the ancient times, when nothing bad had happened yet. Chaos gave birth to all things, yin and yang were balanced, there were gods and demons. Compared with the gods and demons, the other races are just ants running on the grassland.

The gods and demons fought in the heaven, the demon died, and the gods fell. The gates of heaven collapsed and the pure air that originally belonged only to heaven filled the universe.

The resources for spiritual practice are unprecedentedly abundant. All species in the lower world have obtained enough spiritual energy for cultivation.

The first time the sky gate collapsed, it collapsed and achieved the redistribution of spiritual resources, which is a good thing - Ning Ming Mei Yu.

The second collapse of Tianmen was caused by the descendants of the gods.

To put it simply, all races are trying to ascend to the heaven, and the descendants of the gods who nominally own the heaven are unbalanced. Of course, there is no balance between different races.

To put it simply, what happened later was a fight among the six realms. More than half of the sky gate collapsed, and the fragments of the demon sealed by the fallen gods were awakened. The descendants of the gods have also lived in seclusion since then. Some of them have guarded the fragments of the Heavenly Demon for generations. In addition, they also wanted to avoid the disgust and accountability of various races.

Although all races participated in this battle and enjoyed it very much, the cause was that you, the descendants of the gods, were unwilling to divide the territory.

And in this war, there were traces of something that would appear later: evil.

The third collapse of Tianmen occurred after the second collapse.

The second collapse was just the beginning, and it continued to collapse slowly. At the same time, the war in the second collapse has made the various races irreconcilable, especially the cultivation world and the demon world, which have caused countless casualties. All walks of life are thinking about opening the Heavenly Gate again and letting their people take advantage of it.

And the spiritual energy is not as much as before. The scarcity of resources increases hatred.

Some people sacrificed tens of thousands of people and wiped out an entire clan in order to open the Gate of Heaven.

The gate of heaven opened a little. It was at this time that evil was born, from the abyss at the end of the underworld and connected to the heaven.

Then the war began. In war, very few powerful people are willing to fight the enemy. Everyone is vying to ascend to heaven. After much fighting and sacrifice, the Heavenly Gate was finally completely crushed.

Evil things also emerged.

A bigger war broke out.

The Qingji Sect, Yanyun Tower, Minghua Valley, Yinbing Pavilion...these major sects were born at this time. They each had their own leader who stood up and lit torches in the chaos.

I don't ascend, I follow the righteous path, I kill evil things, I guard the six realms!

In addition, there is one more person.

The last goddess of the gods.

The descendant of the gods was the fuse for the second collapse of the Heavenly Gate, but she sacrificed herself to the sword of the gods, killed the monster, and sealed the abyss of the underworld. Her death nourished all things and ended the Third Collapse War.

But after her death, small wars did not stop. Even if everyone says that the sky has collapsed, no one can ascend anymore. But both the immortals and demons believe that there is still a way.

The war between cultivators and the demon world has never stopped. Instead, the situation became more serious due to the collapse of Tianmen… This is a story for later.

However, as an ignorant disciple, Bai Bugui certainly could not show off his erudition. He said: "I only have a vague understanding..."

Ning Mingmei: "Then come back once you understand it."

……Hold.

Bai Bugui immediately changed his words: "When I was in the mortal world, I admired Qingji Sect for a long time. Therefore, I know it very well."

Ning Mingmei leaned back, quite casually: "Then you analyze the direct cause of the third collapse of the Tianmen."

How should he analyze this?

Bai Bugui created his own character as a half-demon boy who has been rejected by the villagers since childhood. After his mother's death, the half-demon boy suddenly discovered his own physical condition and was terrified. He was driven out of the village for saving people and has been wandering in various fairy cities ever since.

How much knowledge can a street kid have? What should I do to avoid ruining my image?

Bai Bugui's mind raced wildly for a while, and finally, he said carefully: "Master, it's because everyone is only thinking about themselves."

"Um?"

"The direct cause of the third collapse of the Heavenly Gate was that there was only a tiny gap left. Everyone was afraid that they would not be able to ascend, so they all squeezed into the Heavenly Gate. If everyone could trust each other, help each other, care for each other, and protect the Heavenly Gate together, this would not happen." Bai Bugui said, "Just like when I was a child in the village, everyone was afraid of me. I was also afraid of being hated by them, so I didn't dare to use my abilities to help them. After arriving at the Qingji Sect, my fellow brothers and sisters are all very kind. So, here, I want to help everyone even more, especially to help my master who brought me back."

When arguing any issue, always include an analysis of yourself to arouse Ning Mingmei's sympathy, um.

After saying that, Bai Bugui shut up and pretended to be his master's well-behaved big dog.

These words will definitely arouse Ning Mingmei's concern.

Ning Mingmei: "Oh? That's how you see it. It's not like that."

?

For the next five minutes, Bai Bugui was numb.

"The reason why Tianmen collapsed is that no one in Tianmen set up an ascension visa. Everyone wants to escape to the heaven."

"If someone conducts a qualification review of the purpose and background of the person who ascends, and sets a review period before the ascension and a probation period during the ascension, these problems will be solved."

"At the same time, those who ascended but could not contribute to the heavens will be sent back to the lower world at an appropriate time to ensure that the resources of the heavens are not abused."

…I seem to gradually understand what a visa is.

"A few days ago, Sect Leader Qi came to me just to talk to me about the visa issue." Ning Mingmei changed the subject.

The real purpose was revealed, and Bai Bugui's back tensed up: "Master..."

Ning Mingmei shamelessly borrowed Qi Miancheng's name: "You know the situation of Piao Miao Peak. You also know the situation of Qing Ji Sect. The establishment of Qing Ji Sect is inseparable from the strong support of several local immortal cities and the human world. In this process, the demon world did not contribute at all. Half-demons were not originally included in our enrollment plan."

Bai Bugui: "Master, but I..."

"To be honest, the directors of Qingji Sect are not very happy about using the resources of the human world and the fairy world to raise half-demons. After graduation, the human cultivators of Qingji Sect have to go to the human world or the fairy city to make contributions. What about you half-demons? Who can guarantee that after you learn our core technology, you will not have no gratitude at all and take it back to the demon world?"

It turned out that she doubted his loyalty. That's easy. Bai Bugui immediately expressed his loyalty: "Master, I have no father or mother, no place to come from, and no place to go. The only thing I have is the Qingji Sect."

I, Bai Bugui, swear to be loyal to the Qing Ji Sect until death. Ning Mingmei must be very moved to hear that... huh?

What's going on with this chilly feeling?

"Immigration intention? You can't stay." Ning Mingmei said, "I let you come to Qingji Sect to study. It's a gift to you to squeeze out the academic resources of the locals in Qingji Sect. Qingji Sect already has so many local students, and there are only so many job opportunities. Do you dare to stay and compete with the locals for jobs?"

How dare you?

This completely confused Bai Bugui. He numbed his tongue and said, "Master, I..."

After a long while, he managed to utter: "But Master, if I return to the demon world, I will have no place to stay!"

This is my last act of pitifulness, Master!

Ning Mingmei stared at him through his glasses for a long time, staring at Bai Bugui until he was almost out of his wits.

"There are actually a few half-demons in the Qingji Sect who are in a similar situation as you. There have been a lot of reports of people like you in the sect recently. So Sect Leader Qi and I are planning to set up a rule to deal with your issues." Ning Mingmei said, "Xiaobai."

The unrestrained Bai Bugui shuddered.

"You have been in Piao Miao Peak for seventeen years, right? You haven't achieved any outstanding results in these seventeen years. As for you half-demons, our current plan is to strengthen the review. We ensure that the half-demons who are sincere in learning can be admitted, and those with impure intentions will be kicked out." Ning Mingmei said lightly, "This visa is used to manage these. Speaking of which, it was because I came out of seclusion too late. I didn't even know that Qingji Sect had privately implemented this system for your good five years ago."

ah? Five years ago? Bai Bugui doesn’t know this either.

Ning Mingmei: "This was done in private, in order to conceal your half-demon identity and to allow you to be treated equally with other disciples, so it was not made public. You should be grateful."

Bai Bugui: "Master...what is this visa?"

Now that it has happened, be open-minded and ask for advice. As an undercover agent, Bai Bugui has always been good at adapting.

Soon, he obtained the following information.

First, visas are not issued to humans, but are specifically issued to disciples from outside world. Only outside disciples with a visa can legally study in Qingji Sect.

Second, before a visa is issued, the applicant’s background will be reviewed and an interview assessment will be conducted. Visas are valid for a limited time. The shortest visa is one year and the longest is fifty years.

The shortest visa is one year? What can you do in the world of immortal cultivation in one year? Bai Bugui thought in confusion.

It takes half a year just to explore this secret realm.

This year should be a fictitious reference. There shouldn't be any unlucky person who only has a one-year contract.

Third, from now on, every time he entered Qingji Sect, his visa would be checked. Once your visa expires...

He will never be able to enter the country again!

Ning Mingmei said, "In addition, Qingji Sect has an outstanding talent visa. As long as you are recognized as an outstanding talent, you can apply for a permanent residence certificate for Piaomiao Peak. Of course, in order to apply for this, you need three letters of recommendation. One of them must be from your master."

Permanent residence, at least there is still this way... Bai Bugui just breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Mingmei: "But I will only write a letter of recommendation to one disciple every fifty years."

And I can’t tell whether it’s a good push or a bad push.

Bai Bugui smiled again at this time: "Master, I will definitely do my best. I will go and write the visa application first. Thank you Master for giving me this opportunity!"

Having said so much, it simply means that you cannot enter or leave Qingji Sect before you get a visa. Bai Bugui thought so.

It’s just submitting an application, the result should be available soon, right?

Ning Mingmei: "But I have to say something first."

?

"The visa has a quota limit. Qingji Sect has a total of... foreign students. Only... foreign students can get visas. Some of them... some... some still. This is also for the consideration of recruiting elite talents. Therefore, during the review, we will consider your contribution potential. It also depends on the recommendation of the tutor."

Bai Bugui’s face turned pale instantly.

70% elimination rate?

And why are those “international students” more capable than each other? Is he going to compete with them for that 30% retention rate?

Bai Bugui never thought of asking Qi Miancheng whether he had a visa or not. Firstly, he was not in a position to ask, and secondly, why would Ning Mingmei need to lie to him about such a thing?

If you doubt his identity, just torture him. Why go through so much trouble and come up with something new?

What normal purpose could there be in this?

Ning Mingmei got up from the bed, put on his boots and said, "That's it. You'll need to digest what I said today for a while. Send me the visa application within this month."

It's quite hard to digest and quite disastrous...wait!

What was the original purpose of his trip?

What about the topic? What kind of work can you do? And now there is an extra visa, Bai Bugui’s resume is blank. If he can’t get a new project, he will just be kicked out!

Bai Bugui was extremely anxious, but Ning Mingmei ignored him. He put on his coat, stood up from the jade bed and walked outside.

By the time Bai Bugui reacted, Ning Mingmei had already walked out of the snow cave. He hurried to catch up.

"It's time to come and see the results of my disciples' work."

The two came to the pavilion on the edge of the cliff. Looking down, you can just see the venue where Lin Heting and others are giving their report.

The conclusion section draws to a close. Lin Heting returned to the stage and said to the disciples below, "Now it's time for the question-and-answer session."

As the speech went on, the disciples in the audience became quieter and quieter, which made Lin Heting more nervous. The further he went, the more he looked up at the sky and didn't notice how many people were in the audience.

Now take a look.

How come... there are so many people!

The disciples below the stage were so dense that for a moment Lin Heting couldn't count whether there were more than three hundred or five hundred people. At this moment, five hundred people were looking at him quietly.

No one spoke.

"Wen Siheng." Ning Mingmei's voice came from Wen Siheng's palace bell.

Ahhhh! How come this palace bell can make sounds now!

This sound frightened Wen Siheng so much that he shivered. Ning Mingmei said in a steady and calm voice: "Ask Lin Heting this question."

Ning Mingmei: "These disciples are too immature. During the rehearsal, they didn't even arrange a few people to ask questions."

If Bai Bugui wasn't here too, the system would really want to electrocute Ning Mingmei.

However, Bai Bugui could not see Ning Mingmei's reaction. His mind was completely shocked by the number of people in the square.

More than five hundred people!

When did Piaomiao Peak, with only twenty or so survivors, become so lively?

He was still counting in shock when Wen Siheng spoke up: "I have a question. How were the relative coefficients of attraction of several major scenic spots in Yaochuan City assumed?"

Under normal circumstances, Lin Heting would definitely be unhappy if asked questions by Wen Siheng. But in the quiet moment, Wen Siheng's voice was like the sound of nature. Lin Heting calmed his mind: "This question..."

He answered the question quickly. The three people on the stage looked at each other.

A question and answer is available. While Master is away, we should finish our work quickly——

Then there was an overwhelming sound from the audience.

“I have a question!”

"What made you think of doing this report?"

"Is the number of shops in Baishaxi in Yaochuan City really distributed like this? Which one is better?"

“This is so interesting!”

"Why do you say that the demon tribe has more benefits than disadvantages on Yaochuan City's tourism performance? Aren't they all said to be lawless?"

"How do you use spiritual power to carve on this bamboo board? I want to learn it too!"

For a moment, the trio was overwhelmed by an overwhelming number of questions. All the disciples of Piaomiao Peak stood up to maintain order.

Enthusiastic, so enthusiastic! The enthusiasm was so great that even the three of them could hardly handle it. Lin Heting shouted in a hoarse voice: "Time is limited, we can only answer twenty questions, twenty!"

"We have another lecture in half a month!" Lao Liu shouted.

"Master..." said Fang Wuyu's disciple.

This sound allowed Fang Wuyu to regain his composure. He touched the heater in his hand and said coldly, "That's all."

Piao Miao Peak is really too stingy and has no organizational experience at all. Look, everyone is crowding to the front of the stage to ask questions. The straw platform was almost crushed. It's nothing like Baiyun Peak.

Dozens of people who didn't get a chance to ask questions surrounded the other disciples of Piaomiao Peak. To their surprise, these disciples were also able to answer their questions.

After all, the weekly group meetings are not held in vain.

"My cousin opened a shop in Yaochuan City. I went to Yaochuan City during the Chinese New Year. Your content is so real that it seems like I have lived there for hundreds of years!"

"I have thought about these questions before, but never once have they appeared so clearly before my eyes!"

"Brother, is this how the auction house makes money? Let me make a note... and this thing, will it appreciate in value?"

Fang Wuyu's disciple: "Master, I also want to go up and ask a question..."

She then shrank back under Fang Wuyu's murderous gaze.

Fang Wu Yu was so angry that he couldn't control himself because his own disciple also betrayed him.

Is it really that interesting? The knot is over, still asking questions? If he hadn't been waiting for Ning Mingmei, he would have left too.

Fang Wu Yu endured for a while, and finally most of the people in the venue left reluctantly.

Talking as we walked.

"I just wanted to come and have some fun, but it turned out really well."

"It makes my blood boil. I also want to open a store in Yaochuan City!"

"I have to wait half a month for the next one? Why can't it be updated daily?"

"I never thought that Piao Miao Peak, which usually keeps quiet, would not only save people and make contributions after going out, but also make so many new discoveries!" A disciple from Tiantai Peak said to the people around him, "This Piao Miao Peak is really hidden!"

"The Sword-wielding Elder is very different from what was rumored."

Most of these disciples came from the inner sect, and a small number came from the outer sect.

They come from different peaks of Qingji Sect. Qizhen Peak, Qingxue Peak, Jixian Peak, Xiangguang Peak... They originally came here to watch the fun, but now, they will rush back with their own gains.

The five hundred disciples were the only ones who initially knew about the new changes at Piaomiao Peak.

But soon, it will become five thousand, fifty thousand. Even the entire cultivation world.

This is just the beginning.

Fang Wuyu's face turned sour after hearing this. He was about to say "that's all."

Then I heard someone else say.

"It's really good, recommended by Elder Fang!"

Who recommended it? Please don't spread rumors, okay?

Fang Wu Yu turned around to look at the disciple who had spoken, but what he saw was another person.

The beautiful woman in the black and gold robe looked at him with a smile.

Better to be clear and ignorant.

Ning Mingmei: "Elder Fang, thank you for coming. I was busy just now and was unable to welcome you. I didn't expect that Elder Fang would be willing to come to my small report meeting. My humble home is really shining."

The other disciples withdrew tactfully.

Fang Wuyu stared at him for a long time and sneered, "I'm using my reputation to flatter you, Ning Mingmei. You've made progress."

Ning Mingmei: "Hmm?"

He looked innocent. The more Fang Wuyu thought about it, the angrier he became: "This is your conspiracy!"

Ning Mingmei pondered for a while, then suddenly realized, "What did Senior Brother Fang say? I was quick to return the gift, so it became my fault."

Fang Wuyu: ...

Ning Mingmei: "Am I wrong? Elder Fang didn't come here just to watch our report, but to thank me for the gift in return?"

Can't we choose neither? !

Eighteen eyes looked over here worriedly. On Piaomiao Peak, only Ning Mingmei looked radiant and refreshed. Fang Wu Yu pursed his lips and looked at him, then suddenly leaned close to Ning Ming Mei's ear.

This ambiguous posture frightened Fang Wuyu's disciples so much that they took a step back.

Fang Wuyu: "Ning Mingmei. Others can't see it, but I can. There's something very strange on your Piaomiao Peak."

Ning Mingmei's expression remained unchanged: "What's strange about that?"

Fang Wuyu smiled and said, "I will figure it out eventually."

The disciples have limited knowledge, but Fang Wuyu is knowledgeable and experienced. He finished reading today's report, but it was just some strange and lewd techniques, nothing special... at least not so strange that the disciples of Yanyun Tower would come here every day.

So this is strange.

All of your eighteen disciples from Piao Miao Peak have dark circles under their eyes, and it is obvious that they are lacking in energy. Even the disciples of Yanyun Tower are the same.

Ning Mingmei must have used some evil magic!

He is not full of energy, yet he has to come to Ning Mingmei every day. If it’s not because of evil practices, then what could it be?

Ning Mingmei: "If Senior Brother Fang is curious, you might as well come to my place more often."

Come here more often and you will understand.

Fang Wu Yu just smiled and left Ning Mingmei's ear. He walked past Ning Mingmei and went to look at the disciples of Yanyun Tower.

When he looked over, he found that several disciples of Yanyun Tower had taken a step back... What were they doing?

Were you frightened by the intimidating power of the Second Peak Master of Qingji?

Fang Wu Yu would never have imagined that the expression on Yu Niao's face was "The male sword cultivator is so scary."

Before leaving, the elders of Yanyun Tower reminded them that the Qingji Sect was full of sword cultivators and there were many male bronzes. Now it seems that it is true.

Fang Wu Yu looked past the few people and looked at Song Mingke.

"Ming Ke." He said in a gentle voice, "Come here for a moment."

…

At this moment, Tiantai Peak.

Sect Leader Qi ordered the jade slip he had just written to be distributed. The disciple said, "Master, reinforcing the seal of the forbidden area was originally scheduled for next month. Isn't that a bit too urgent?"

"It would be best if we could arrange it sooner." Master Qi said, "I'm going out for a trip next month."

"Where is Master going?" asked his disciple.

Qi Miancheng smiled and said, "My grandmother's house is the 300th birthday of the head of the family. It's not easy for a mortal to live to this age. I have to go there once."

He lowered his head, as if thinking: "Besides, this generation of my grandmother's family has produced a seedling with good roots."

Last name: Lian.

After a while, he looked up and smiled, "You're here?"

The person who walked into the room was extraordinary.

…
