Chapter 450: Is it necessary to tell who is the master and who is the apprentice?
After watching Jian Xin and others leave, Li Yanmo felt a little itchy and wanted to take a look around the site of the Daomen Competition to see if there was anything interesting. Relying on Nuyao's method of exchanging golden elixirs, he made a lot of extra money and his wallet was extremely fat.
Just when Li Yanmo was wondering where to start his shopping, he noticed Miao Qianqian had a conflicted look on her face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Yanmo thought about it and then responded, "Xiao Miao, you also want to participate in the Dao Sect Competition, right? Why don't you go and sign up with them?"
Miao Qianqian hesitated for a moment and then said what she was thinking, "Sister Cui and the others are not here for fun. They are shouldering a heavy responsibility. If I go with them, I'm afraid I will hinder them and cause loopholes in your plan, Master."
After spending some time together, Miao Qianqian already had a general understanding of the strength of the geniuses sent by super sects such as Cui Yuer for further studies.
Simply put, it is a god.
It’s either the Supreme Golden Elixir or the peak of foundation building that is holding back the Supreme Golden Elixir.
Miao Qianqian is very aware of her own strength. She has a completely different style from Cui Yuer and the others. If she goes into battle with the Xutian Taoist tradition, people will only suspect that she is an impostor.
"Xiao Miao, they are just going there to play."
“Ah, this…”
“But since you don’t want to sign up for the Taoist competition with the Xutian Taoist school, you can use others, such as the Qingshan Taoist school or the Chongshan Taoist school,” Li Yanmo raised his hand and waved, motioning Miao Qianqian to follow.
Miao Qianqian nodded immediately and followed Li Yanmo.
The entire giant tower is divided into three areas: the golden area where super sects are entrenched, the silver area where first-rate sects compete with each other, and the rest is the outer area where second-rate, third-rate and inferior sects are crowded together.
As the organizers of the Taoist Competition, the seventy-two super sects naturally do not need to go through the registration process. The first-rate sects can enjoy the treatment of Taoist envoys personally coming to their door to collect the list of contestants, while sects below the first-rate level need to go to a special location to register.
Of course, as the most grand and largest competition in Taoism, there will naturally not be the noisy situation of people crowding and queuing.
Li Yanmo and Miao Qianqian quickly arrived at the registration location.
However, it seemed that they came at the wrong time, as the staff of the Taoist competition was arguing with another boy who looked only fourteen years old.
"Master Huanling, how dare you, a cultivator in the Fusion Stage, disguise yourself as a Qi Training cultivator to participate in the Dao Sect Competition! If you want to bully the younger generation, you should also disguise yourself as a Golden Core Stage cultivator!"
"There are too many Jindan-stage monsters. I'm afraid of a car accident!"
The fourteen-year-old boy put his hands on his hips and spoke with confidence.
Of course, the result was that he was dragged away. Before leaving, the fourteen-year-old boy was still shouting, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't bully the young man because he is poor."
Judging from the gossip of others, the Taoist Priest Huanling seems to be three thousand years old. For those in the fusion stage, there is no difference between thirty years and thirty days.
"Hello, we are here to register."
Li Yanmo curiously glanced in the direction where the Taoist Priest Huanling was dragged away, waved to the staff member who was sighing, and his eyes moved down to the jade token on the staff member's waist.
There are four divine beasts carved on the jade pendant, which are the symbol of the super sect Four Sacred Sects. The man's name, Huo Lei, is also engraved on the jade pendant.
Huo Lei first glanced at Li Yanmo, his brows slightly raised, "Spiritual energy leaking, a Qi training cultivator?"
Huo Lei glanced at Miao Qianqian who was in the Nascent Soul stage.
In less than a second, Huo Lei understood the situation and asked the two men what their sects were.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yanmo reported to Chongshan Taoist Sect. Huo Lei didn't remember which sect Chongshan Taoist Sect was, so he made two jade tokens on the spot. He gave the jade token for the contestant in the Qi training field competition to Li Yanmo, and gave the jade token for the master's seat to Miao Qianqian.
One is practicing Qi, the other is Yuanying. Is there any need to ask who is the master and who is the apprentice?
"The preliminary round of the competition will be held tomorrow morning. You two only need to show your jade cards and a special person will lead the way for you."
It was also the first time for Li Yanmo and Miao Qianqian to attend the Taoist competition. They didn’t think too much about it. After saying thank you, they put the jade token away and turned to the street market where the Taoist competition was held.
Although the various sects had just established their bases, the streets were already bustling with people coming and going.
In order to promote and strengthen their own Taoist traditions, each sect displays the name of its sect in the most conspicuous way, including super sects.
"Master, all the goods are very cheap and they are all signed," Miao Qianqian whispered.
After Miao Qianqian said this, Li Yanmo also noticed these details.
Pills, magic weapons, and even some spiritual plants have the names of the corresponding sects on them, as if they were afraid that they would be forgotten.
The goods we see now are very cheap, with prices far below the market value, which is a complete loss-making business.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yanmo understood the cause and effect.
The first-rate sects do not lack spirit stones. To be more precise, they do not lack spirit stones from the sects below the first-rate. They are standing in front of the gate leading to the ranks of super sects. What they care about is only to strengthen their own Taoist lineage and join the ranks of super sects.
The most convenient and effective way to strengthen one's own Taoist tradition is to absorb other Taoist traditions with potential.
They adopted the most unpretentious way to implement their plan, which was to distribute large quantities of their own Taoist magic weapons, elixirs and other things that could enhance the strength of monks.
It is no wonder that those sects with poor Taoist traditions want to get the opportunity to participate in the Taoist competition even if they are beaten to a bloody pulp.
Powerful sects have the opportunity to absorb other sects with potential, while weak but potential sects get the opportunity to strengthen themselves.
For Taoism, this is a very benign state of coexistence.
For Dayu, despite some flaws, it is also the most practical operating model.
But thinking from a long-term perspective, this is not a good trend. No matter how great the potential is, it cannot resist the temptation of reaching the sky in one step. The result is that the Taoist sects with potential will eventually become clichés and become vassals of those powerful Taoist sects.
It would be great if there were “coal bosses” who had no intention of absorbing those potential sects and only wanted to spend money to destroy those sects.
Li Yanmo took out the talisman and contacted Shen Ziqing immediately.
"Second brother, we can start planning now. Arrange people to move the goods from Tianxu Tower here. Remember to be low-key in handing over those cultivation resources to those sects with weak traditions. If necessary, openly display the sign of Tianxu Tower to attract the attention of other sects."
"Master, please leave this matter to me."
Shen Ziqing put down the talisman in his hand and was about to speak when Kong Pu and others spoke first.
"Oh - Lord Li is too polite. It is our super sect's duty to support those sects with potential! We will pay for the supplies!"
