Ancestor Above

"Which way do you want to go?"

Faced with this question, Lu Wenen fell into contemplation.

At seventeen, he is sensible.

He knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill was not easy to come by, but it was an indispensable item for continuing to move forward on the avenue. Naturally, he had thought about these things in his heart.

The two paths mentioned by Zhang Shiman are consistent in some aspects, but in the final analysis there are always some differences.

Qingfengmen has 20,000 cultivators in the Qi-refining stage, and there are 5,000 people who meet the requirements for participating in the martial arts competition every year. In such a big comparison, how difficult is it to become one of the five people who can finally get the Foundation Establishment Pill?

In the last big competition, Lu Wenen couldn't see it in person, but I heard that all the cultivators who broke into the top 20 were all monks who practiced the ninth level of Qi.

Before the age of thirty-five, those who can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi practice are not mediocre. Ordinary qi-refining cultivators usually reach this level when they are fifty or sixty years old - this is quite good, for example, Lu Xueting is like this. And now Lu Mingling, the most famous among the younger generation of cultivators in the Lu family, would be almost forty-five years old when he reached the ninth level of Qi practice.

In previous years, in the Qingfengmen's competition, twenty or thirty geniuses who were much more outstanding than Lu Mingling emerged every time, which showed the foundation of Feiyun Prefecture's largest cultivation force.

Moreover, the final winners, all of them are the upper-level people with exercises, instruments, spells, and fighting techniques.

What Lu Wenen cultivated was the 'Qingyuan Sutra', which was a combination of water and wood exercises, which matched his water-wood spiritual roots, but after all, it was only a top-grade exercise. The other 'Zhengqing Sword Sutra' that he cultivated is a wonderful product. It is the kendo method that Qingfeng Sect is good at. It is naturally difficult for outer disciples to touch it, but inner disciples are basically everyone.

Magical implements...special spells...don't even mention these. It's not too bad. After all, he also has family support behind him, which may be better than the average inner disciple.

But how can it be compared with the direct descendants of the big figures in the sect and the descendants of famous families? Moreover, sometimes these two identities overlap, which is even more terrifying.

Although rare, there are always. They are practicing top-notch exercises, and they have top-quality instruments handed down from their families and teachers. Their talents are definitely not bad, and their efforts are not lacking...

In fact, in every sect competition, it is these people who compete for the top five.

Not only can you get the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the key is to shine for a while and raise your reputation.

Lu Wenen admits that his efforts will not lose to others, and his talent may not be bad, but the others... can't compare.

It is very difficult to win against such an opponent.

In this way, it seems that the second way, that is, queuing up to receive the Foundation Establishment Dan, may be more reliable?

But think about it, it's actually difficult.

The merits of Qingfengmen, its value can basically be equated with Lingshi. Ten thousand meritorious deeds are ten thousand spirit stones. Moreover, relatively speaking, meritorious deeds are a little harder than Lingshi.

Either take out what the sect needs, contribute to the sect, and obtain merits;

The advantage is that with 10,000 meritorious deeds, you can basically exchange for Foundation Establishment Dan, as long as you line up. Unlike the outside world, holding 10,000 spirit stones often can't buy goods.

Can a qi practice cultivator want to make 10,000 meritorious deeds? Without background, ten lives may not be enough.

But despite this, some people with family support and reliable masters, maybe they can really save 10,000 merits before the age of 60. But every fifteen years, that is, the second year after the martial arts competition, a batch of foundation building pills will be released, usually seven or eight. There are 10,000 meritorious disciples, definitely more than this number.

Who is that for? Qingfeng Sect General Affairs Elder has the final say.

The talent, age, whether he has made a major contribution, what kind of family relationship... etc. These factors determine who will eventually get the precious Foundation Establishment Dan among the people who can also make 10,000 meritorious deeds.

Either way is difficult.

Zhang Shiman's voice sounded again: "My teacher suggests that you take the second path, which is to praise meritorious deeds."

"Please master."

"You are talented and smart, and you are willing to work hard, but compared with the disciples who are the direct descendants of the elders in the sect and the disciples from the big clans, it is too difficult to beat the competition. If you can achieve the training before the age of thirty-five At the ninth level of Qi, at such a young age, if you have unlimited potential, and if you have accumulated enough merits, maybe I can find some connections as a teacher, and ask for a foundation pill for the pill that will be issued sixteen years later."

"But... In the past twelve years, the disciple has only accumulated two hundred merits... There are still sixteen years, and it is easier said than done if you want to accumulate ten thousand?"

"It depends on the ability of your Lu family." Zhang Shiman said, "If you can have 8,000 meritorious deeds by then, I can borrow you 2,000 for the teacher to make up the gap. No matter how much, the teacher can't do anything."

Zhang Shiman was just a cultivator in the foundation-building period. He could promise to make up for the gap of 2,000, and he had done his best. Lu Wenen also knew that he could not ask for too much.

With a heavy heart, Lu Wenen gritted his teeth and said, "Then, the disciple wants to sign up and participate in this sect's trip to northern Xinjiang!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Zhang Shiman's face sank, "The number of places for this trip to Northern Xinjiang has already been decided within the sect, and there is no need for a young true disciple like you to participate. I know you are in a hurry, but I will tell you. The meaning of these is to let you pass a message to the Lu family behind you, and prepare more things within fifteen years, not to let you go to the northern border to die!"

"I understand the kindness of the master." Lu Wenen was in a hurry, and bowed again, "I know the situation of my family, I can help a little, but certainly not a lot. What's more, my cultivator, I myself How can we not fight? Killing a white ghost will give you ten merits; killing a snow witch will give you fifty merits. If you kill five hundred white ghosts, I will be able to collect ten thousand merits!"

Zhang Shiman laughed angrily: "I'll go to Northern Xinjiang for my teacher. It's not certain whether I can kill a hundred white ghosts. Why do you kill five hundred?"

Lu Wen'en is still very serious: "Participate in a patrol outside the city, you can get 50 merits; conduct a close-up investigation, you can get 300 to 600 merits; participate in a front-line battle, you can get additional merit rewards, the specific amount depends on the results of the battle. …”

Zhang Shiman's face became more and more gloomy.

"The disciple also knows that with my current strength, if I want to participate in a major war, I can accumulate 10,000 merits, which is a fantasy. But this is an excellent opportunity to accumulate merits. Every time the white ghost travels south, I will bring A huge disaster, but for my cultivator, isn’t it a big opportunity? It’s rare to see it once in a few decades, and I don’t want to miss it.”

"You're only seventeen years old, and it's not yet time to take this bloody road."

"A trip to the avenue, why is there an easy way to travel?"

"Ah..." Zhang Shiman sighed and said, "You are so enlightened at such an age, stronger than I was back then."

"Then master agrees?"

"No." Zhang Shiman said, "Just let you go to Northern Xinjiang, then your Lu family knows, don't you want to hate me? I will send a letter to your grandmother Lu Ranting to make it clear. If she agrees , I won't stop you any more."
