As the chief senior brother, Qiu Changtian not only went to the lecture room regularly to listen to the lectures given by Master Ziwei, but also had to come back to lecture and answer questions for his junior brothers and sisters.
The reason is simple: Master Ziwei must accept disciples in every generation.
After so many generations, the number of disciples has already exceeded a hundred, and it would definitely be too crowded if they were all crowded into the lecture room.
Therefore, in each generation, only the chief disciple can listen to the sutras in the lecture room.
The rest of the junior students could only wait for the chief senior brother to finish listening and then come back to teach and answer questions on his behalf.
Of course, Xu Yinglian, who possesses a heart with seven orifices, is an exception - he has precious qualifications for practicing Taoism and can enjoy privileges in Kunlun.
In the lecture room, all the cushions are divided into two rows on the left and right, and their order is also particular.
The disciples in the Jindan stage are on the left, and the disciples in the foundation-building stage are on the right. The disciples with good qualifications are in front, and the disciples with poor qualifications are in the back.
In addition, the cushions at the front of the two rows on the left and right were prepared for the two strongest chief disciples among all the Jindan and foundation-building stages.
Therefore, these two people have another nickname, called "Big Chief".
Although the others are the best among their peers, they are still ranked according to seniority in front of the headmaster and can only be regarded as "small chiefs".
After the opening ceremony, Qiu Changtian came to listen to the sutras for the first time as a formal disciple. He was chosen by Master Ziwei to sit on the second cushion on the right row, which made the others envious and sad.
The senior brother who was originally ranked second on the right row was forced to give up the cushion. He was unwilling and had a gloomy look on his face, but was glared at fiercely by the chief Foundation Establishment Stage master in front of him, Senior Brother Xu Changqing. He lowered his head in a hurry and dared not to show any more anger.
Qiu Changtian took his cushion and apologized. He then forced a smile and said it was okay, and went to sit on the third cushion at the back.
As for Xu Yinglian, if she were to be divided based on her qualifications, she should sit behind Qiu Changtian, on the third cushion.
But Master Ziwei knew that she was too competitive and had even developed a deep obsession with Qiu Changtian.
If she were allowed to sit behind Qiu Changtian and preach a few more times, this girl would probably be dead.
She vomited blood, gnashed her teeth, became possessed, and shouted three times, "If there is pity, why does autumn come?" Then she died, and her soul went to the underworld.
Therefore, he ordered her to bring a cushion over and sit on the right side of Qiu Changtian in the third row.
Xu Yinglian was a little confused, but since it was her master's order, she sat to Qiu Changtian's right with a calm expression.
After Master Ziwei finished his lecture, everyone felt unsatisfied and reluctant to leave.
Qiu Changtian stayed, obviously having something to say.
Seeing that he didn't leave, Xu Yinglian asked in a low voice:
"Brother?"
Qiu Changtian signaled her not to ask too many questions and just listen from the side.
Master Ziwei sat quietly for a moment, closed his eyes and asked:
"What is it?"
"Master," Qiu Changtian bowed sincerely, "I want to go out and gain experience."
Upon hearing this, Master Ziwei raised his eyelids to look at him and asked in surprise:
"Are you short of spirit stones?"
Qiu Changtian's expression remained unchanged as he said:
"Disciple wants to do his best for the sect."
Master Ziwei sneered and shook his head.
In today's world of cultivation, there are many sects, and the paths of outer disciples and inner disciples are completely different.
Outer disciples have poor aptitude and limited resources. The speed of extending their lifespan through normal practice cannot keep up with the speed at which their lifespan is consumed, so they must go out to gain experience and complete tasks assigned by their master, searching for relics left over from the ancient Chanjie and seeking adventure.
Inner sect disciples have excellent qualifications and are given ample resources by the sect. The spirit gathering formation in the cave where they live is open twelve hours a day and is not closed even if they leave. Therefore, unless they encounter a bottleneck, they are all like the Sword God of Shilipo, and they can't wait to stay in the sect and practice to the maximum level before going out.
Therefore, Master Ziwei judged that Qiu Changtian wanted to go out to get some treasures or spiritual stones... You are only at the Qi Refining stage, what treasures do you want? It is probably to exchange for spiritual stones.
"Whatever." Seeing that he was unwilling to admit it, Master Ziwei did not expose him, "Go to the Deacon Hall to get the order to leave the mountain."
"Master," Qiu Changtian continued, "I want to take Junior Sister Ying Lian with me."
Xu Yinglian:?
"Why is that?" Master Ziwei asked again.
Why? The synchronization value is only 77% left. I have to brush it back. Don’t I have to rely on this junior sister?
“Master, this is also my selfish desire.” Qiu Changtian said with a wry smile, “If I encounter a fortuitous encounter outside and my cultivation level increases dramatically, I’m afraid that my junior sister will not accept it…”
"Who do you say is dissatisfied?" Xu Yinglian was furious.
"Then let me put it another way." Qiu Changtian immediately changed his words, "If I encounter a fortuitous encounter outside, I am currently at the Qi Refining Stage, and my magic power is low, so I may not be able to cope with it. If I can get help from Junior Sister Ying Lian, my chances of success will be greater."
Xu Yinglian's anger gradually subsided and he kept it to himself.
Master Ziwei pondered for a moment and said with a smile:
"You have thought it through. But...if you really encounter an adventure, are you willing to share it with your junior sister? Aren't you afraid that she will surpass you because of this?"
You have to know that the situation inside the Kunlun sect is fine, but the outside world of cultivation is completely a jungle. Killing people and stealing treasures is commonplace, and no government will care... Where do the government come from for cultivators?
It's common sense that when you discover a great adventure, you want to keep it to yourself.
"Of course." Qiu Changtian said seriously, "If Junior Sister can improve her cultivation through the adventure and surpass me, that would be a good thing."
"Why?" Xu Yinglian asked in disbelief.
Qiu Changtian smiled faintly and said:
"It's really lonely to walk alone on the road of cultivation. With a junior sister accompanying me, I have no regrets."
What if I have been training outside for too long and no one is showing off, so the synchronization value goes down?
Xu Yinglian was stunned and speechless. His anger had completely disappeared, replaced by a complex expression of deep thought.
[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]
"Good!" Master Ziwei clapped his hands and smiled, praisingly, "Since you have this intention, I will not stop you."
He waved his sleeves and a sword came down from the hall, saying:
"This is the sect's most precious treasure, the Taiyi Fenguang Sword. I will lend it to you temporarily to ensure that you can travel without any worries."
Qiu Changtian was shocked: Taiyi Fenguang Sword is a famous immortal sword!
It has already become famous in the ancient battle of Chanjie. It is an extremely powerful sword that is far beyond the tenth level and cannot be measured by tier!
He wanted to confirm it, but was afraid that it would be inconsistent with his character, so he maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Master, for lending me your sword."
Xu Yinglian next to him was also shocked and hesitated to speak.
After the two left, Master Ziwei was silent for a moment, then slowly picked up the whisk beside the lotus platform and whispered:
"Trouble and delusion cause the body and mind to suffer. How can one find peace and tranquility if greed and desire are not extinguished?"
As soon as Qiu Changtian left Yuxu Palace, he was grabbed from behind by Xu Yinglian.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Yinglian frowned and asked, "Going out for training? What's the point of training in the Qi Refining Stage? Without a flying sword, I'm afraid you won't even be able to defeat the martial artists in Jianghu."
I went out to get spirit stones... Qiu Changtian certainly couldn't say that, otherwise Xu Yinglian would definitely say "I'll lend it to you" or "Tell me what you need it for first."
So he just smiled faintly and asked, "Are you scared?"
Xu Yinglian:? ! !
She almost jumped up.
It’s strange to say, but as someone with a very sharp mind, I can see through people and things as clearly as seeing through fire.
Because I see through it, it's boring.
Because it is boring, it is cold.
Even with these few words from his senior brother, Xu Yinglian knew that it was a simple provocation, but he couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, which kept surging to his head like an erupting volcano.
"What are you afraid of?" She sneered, "My senior brother was too nervous because it was his first time going out, so he had to drag me along. He wanted to borrow me to give him courage, right?"
"You've discovered all this." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.
His teasing tone, as if teasing a girl, made Xu Yinglian even more annoyed.
