Chapter 388 Lu Sizhong: Despise Chu Ning, Understand Chu Ning, Become Chu Ning
Holy city.
Chu Ning came out of the shop and didn't see Gongsun Jin. He thought he had gone to deal with the three little guys.
After a moment of silence for the three little guys, Chu Ning was not in a hurry to go to Danta to find the sect leader.
I have been in seclusion for too long these years, and when I hear the voices of people around me, I suddenly feel a sense of awkwardness.
He is cultivating immortality, not cutting off human desires.
The higher you practice, the more transcendent you become, and you become just a tiny group of beings.
However, Chu Ning doesn't like this feeling. Cultivation is not for loneliness. At least he doesn't want to live such a lonely cultivation life for the time being.
Just strolling in the streets of the holy city, watching the monks coming and going, and the shouts of the waiters in front of the shops.
The monks passing by, seeing Chu Ning, a Divine Transformation monk, just looked at him with awe and did not stop to look at him out of curiosity.
In the Holy City, Divine Transformation cultivators are still very common, and since Chu Ning changed his appearance, these cultivators did not recognize his identity.
Listening to the bargaining between shopkeepers and passers-by, and hearing a few monks chatting in the tavern and teahouse, Chu Ning suddenly felt that these people were quite happy.
Most of these people will never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in their entire lives, but they also have goals to strive for and do not have to waste time.
But at his current stage, the only thing that can accompany him more is time.
Accompanying time and loneliness.
Is this really the life he wants? Chu Ning was a little confused. On the side of the road, a group of people hurried past with sad faces.
"The ancestor of the Su family is gone!"
"Is this true? Then the Su family will be in decline."
"It is certain that they will decline, but the Su family still has two Nascent Soul cultivators. Although they have lost their ancestor, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so they can still hold on."
"I'm afraid the Su family's ancestor didn't leave with peace of mind. The third generation of the Su family hasn't grown up yet, and the two Yuanying masters are both in their twilight years."
…
The discussion of the crowd made Chu Ning's eyes clear. After a while, he laughed at himself and said, "I am becoming more and more hypocritical."
The most important thing for cultivation is a firm determination.
Being able to reach this point is the envy of many people and the lifelong expectation of many monks.
What's wrong with being alone? What's wrong with being accompanied by time? It's not good to be sad about the passing of time.
…
…
Danta.
When Xie Jingxing saw Chu Ning, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He could sense that Chu Ning's temperament had changed a little.
However, Xie Jingxing did not think much about it and just thought that the Saint Master gave Chu Ning some advice.
"Have you seen the Holy Master?"
"Um."
"You are lucky. I have never met the Holy Master alone."
Xie Jingxing's tone was a little sour. He had lived for nearly five thousand years and had only seen the Saint Master once. That time, the Saint Master appeared at the Danta Conference and he saw him from a distance.
"Let's go. I will take you to meet some seniors in Danyu."
Chu Ning followed his clan leader into the upper echelons of Danta and met many senior veterans.
"This is the leader of the Xuandan Sect."
Chu Ning greeted respectfully with a smile.
"This is the leader of the Fanlu Sect."
"This is Grandmaster Ouyang."
…
The identities of these old men are so great that the Dan Realm would tremble just by stomping their feet.
Either they are the leader of a super sect or they are at the grandmaster level.
Chu Ning felt that his face was about to freeze from smiling. In front of these people, he was really just a junior.
These old men were also very kind to Chu Ning, and several of them even enthusiastically took Chu Ning aside and talked to him for a long time.
There is a sense of intimacy between elders and their younger generations that they haven't seen for a long time.
Facing these old seniors, Chu Ning had to smile carefully. After an hour, he was finally liberated.
On the next floor of Danta, Chu Ning met Lu Sizhong and others.
Only then did I realize that the reason why so many big names showed up in the Holy City this time was because the "Discussion on the Way and Refining the Theory" held once every thousand years was about to begin.
There are six major alchemy schools in Danyu, and none of them are willing to give in to the other. Such debates and competitions are common in Danyu, but most of the time they are small-scale. The "Debate on the Way of Alchemy" is the most influential debate in the entire Danyu.
The competition is held once every thousand years. Those who can be identified on the stage are all powerful masters who have reached the stage of transformation of spirits. They are also quick-witted and are among the most resourceful of the six schools.
"No wonder a senior stopped me earlier and kept asking me what I thought of Fan School's alchemy."
Chu Ning then realized that Danshan Sect was part of the Fan Sect, so he would naturally stand on the side of the Fan Sect.
Theory of Fan School: There is no trick to refining the elixir, it only requires hard work.
"Your Lu family is the Qipai faction. Who did the Qipai faction arrange to participate in the debate this time?"
Chu Ning asked curiously, and Lu Sizhong rolled his eyes: "You are here to gather information, but it doesn't hurt to tell you. This time, I will be the one to debate on the Truth Platform. You have seen my eloquence. I have contributed greatly to your being able to borrow so many spirit crystals."
Lu Sizhong patted his chest with a look of confidence. The Lu family was a representative family of the weapon school. As the young master of the Lu family and a powerful spirit-transforming cultivator, Lu Sizhong was qualified to participate.
But being eligible to participate is one thing, and whether or not to participate is another.
Logically speaking, those who participated in the debate were all strong people from various factions who specialized in theoretical research, but Lu Sizhong was obviously not one of them.
"Speak human language." Chu Ning directly interrupted Lu Sizhong's bragging.
"The winner of this competition will receive a Domain Envoy Order from the Danta Association."
Lu Sizhong told the truth, that he would participate in the debate and was targeting the envoy from the domain.
Of the nine Domain Envoy Tokens, three are with the Danta Association and are arranged by the Danta Association. The Dao Debate and Refining Discussion, which is held once every thousand years, has a huge influence in the Dan Domain, so it is normal for the winner to get a Domain Envoy Token.
"You want to win?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Who doesn't want to win? Even if it's not for the Domain Envoy Order, being able to win on the Stage of Truth is the supreme honor."
Winning in the field of debate and theory means that the school represented will have a theoretical advantage for the next thousand years.
The advantage of a theory having an advantage is that it will influence the new generation of alchemists in the alchemy field's understanding of alchemy, and then they will join the sect of that theory.
Any sect that wants to survive for a long time needs a constant supply of fresh blood, and if it wants to remain prosperous, it must recruit many talented disciples.
"Don't underestimate the influence of this theory of distinguishing the way and refining the theory. It will have a huge impact on all the sects in the Dan domain."
Lu Sizhong was afraid that Chu Ning didn't understand, so he specifically explained it seriously. Chu Ning curled his lips. How could he not know the power of ideological theory?
Ideological theories can influence a whole generation.
Whether it is an ordinary person or a monk, it is the same.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Do you want to win this debate?" Chu Ning asked with a smile.
"You said it as if you had a way to make me win."
"I can't guarantee that you will win, but at least I can give you a better chance of winning."
Debate.
Chu Ning was also a member of the debate team in his previous life at university.
Use his spear to attack his shield.
This is the best way to play in a debate, but not many people can do it.
The next best option is to blur the topic, expand the scope of the topic, generalize, and replace concepts, which is sophistry.
The most useful technique is to ask questions continuously until the opponent is speechless, but this requires the ability to quickly catch the loopholes in the opponent's words, which requires on-the-spot performance.
But the most powerful tactic in a debate is actually personal attack!
In previous life, debates at universities did not allow personal attacks, but there were no such restrictions on the debate stage. Chu Ning had seen the video of the previous session, and several people had just started to rant at the end of the debate.
"Give me some pointers."
Lu Sizhong was humble and eager to learn. He knew that Chu Ning would not do anything without a purpose.
"Go to Sihai Trading Company and ask for information about the contestants from other schools who will be participating in this year's debate on Dao and Refining. Not to mention that the list has not been announced yet, there are only a few people who are qualified to participate. Get all of their information."
"If you are not familiar with Sihai Trading Company, I can help you get it done, but the spirit crystals..."
"Spirit crystals are not a problem." Lu Sizhong said proudly.
Chu Ning nodded and continued to transmit: "Then there will be no problem. Let's get the information of those people first, and then we can analyze them one by one to find out their weaknesses."
"weakness?"
"I'll teach you once I get the information."
One day later, after Lu Sizhong paid 20,000 spirit crystals and Chu Ning gave 10,000 spirit crystals to Sihai Trading Company, Sihai Trading Company sent information about 30 powerful gods in Dan Domain through the spirit network.
These are all people who may be able to participate in this debate and discussion.
"After reading this person's profile, did you find any weaknesses?"
"No, isn't this normal? It took 1,200 years to break through to become a sixth-rank alchemist."
"Look carefully. He was only a fourth-rank alchemist in the first eight hundred years. Isn't this the problem?"
"What's the problem?" Lu Sizhong asked humbly.
"Why was he only a fourth-rank alchemist for the first eight hundred years? Could it be that he didn't join a sect for the first eight hundred years and relied on his own cultivation without even a good alchemy furnace? Later, he joined the Seven Star Sect and received a reward from the sect. With a good alchemy furnace, his alchemy skills were able to improve."
"This is too far-fetched." Lu Sizhong frowned.
"How are the Dao-discrimination and Refining Theory selected?"
"All alchemists above the third rank in the Dan Domain will be able to listen to the debate outside the Dan Tower. Based on the debates they hear from each faction, they will vote to select the winner."
Lu Sizhong looked at Chu Ning strangely. Chu Ning should know this rule.
"That's it. You don't care whether it's far-fetched or not. As long as you have enough momentum and a high attitude, you can seize the bottleneck period of these contestants to attack them. The alchemists who voted will not care whether it's far-fetched or not. They only hear that your words are true, so they will naturally believe you."
"Is this really possible?"
"If you don't believe it, forget it." Chu Ning rolled his eyes.
"I...I just think this is a little immoral."
"goodbye!"
Chu Ning clasped his fists, turned around and left.
"Alas, I was just being polite. Brother Chu, why do you have to do this? Please teach me, Brother Chu."
"Don't you think it's immoral?"
"That thing is useless."
It has to be said that Lu Sizhong was also influenced by Chu Ning. The young master of the Lu family was originally such an upright person. But after witnessing Chu Ning's several outrageous actions, he also had an epiphany.
As long as I have no morals, others cannot criticize me on the basis of morality! Brother Chu, this is a very good thing to say!
…
…
One month later! Lu Sizhong and Chu Ning analyzed all the opponents and worked out the countermeasures.
The conference on debate and discussion is about to open.
Xie Jingxing found Chu Ning and said slowly, "This time, it's our Danshan Sect's turn to compete in the Dao Debate and Refining Competition. I don't want to call other elders. You have good eloquence, so you should go this time."
Chu Ning: ...
