Record of Ascension by Hundred Refiners

Hearing this sound, the three of them were stunned, and hurriedly released their consciousness. They saw an old man with a gray beard standing in front of the attic door.

This old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with a rosy complexion and a expectant look on his face. However, he was also gleaming and looked extremely strong. His cultivation had reached the peak of foundation building.

Since someone is coming to visit, the three of them will not refuse. They are here just to inquire about information. Since someone comes to visit, they cannot turn them away.

"Haha, since Taoist friends are here to visit, I will go out to greet you immediately."

Qin Fengming's eyes flashed, and Xiao Jinxuan understood it. After a moment's pause, he immediately laughed and said. At the same time, the three of them stood up together and walked out of the attic one after another.

"Gu Jingzhang came uninvited. I hope the three fellow Taoists won't take it personally."

Seeing the three people coming out, the old man who called himself Gu Jingzhang immediately clasped his fists and said kindly to Yan.

"No, I just came here, and I was looking for a fellow Taoist to discuss something, but I didn't want to take care of my fellow Taoist, but I came here first. This is not a place to talk. Please come inside and talk, fellow Taoist."

Xiao Jinxuan was also a man who had seen the world, and he immediately spoke very steadily.

The four of them entered the attic, and the guests and hosts took their seats. Without waiting for instructions, the girl who called Cai'er had already prepared the fragrant tea, placed it in front of the four of them very quickly, and then retreated behind the screen.

"The three fellow Taoists are very familiar to each other. I guess they are not fellow Taoists nearby. I wonder how they are called?" As soon as they sat down, the monk surnamed Gu smiled slightly.

"Gu Daoyouguo has a sharp gaze. The three of us are not monks here."

Xiao Jinxuan said, pointed at Qin Fengming and Qin Fengming, and then said:

"This is Fellow Daoist Wei, and this is Xiao's nephew. We came here only when we were traveling together. We accidentally got the news that a martial arts competition was held here, so we came here to take a look. But for this conference, The three of us have never fully understood it, so I would like to ask fellow Taoist friends to clear up some of our doubts."

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are asking the right person. I am a person from Huangye Mountain thousands of miles away from here. I have been here for more than a hundred years. I have already participated in two such competitions held by the Xiao family. , but we know the internal reasons very well..."

When the monk surnamed Gu heard Xiao Jinxuan's question, his spirits immediately perked up and he looked extremely energetic. He smiled and explained eloquently.

After the old man surnamed Gu explained in detail, Qin Fengming and the others finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Xiao family here, and they also had a complete understanding of the martial arts tournament here.

It turns out that the Xiao clan in Qianhuzhou holds a competition among the foundation-building monks within the clan every fifty years, and the subjects of the competition are the many clan branches outside the Xiao family.

The results of this competition will determine the number of highly qualified disciples that each branch of the clan can send to the clan to receive unified training from the clan.

These quotas are extremely important for each clan branch, because as long as they enter the clan and receive training, their chances of successfully entering the realm of becoming an immortal will reach 50%.

At the same time, when the clan vigorously cultivates them, they will also provide guidance on the art of alchemy, and there will be enough spiritual grass for them to refine it themselves. This is an indescribable temptation for the Xiao clan who has been refining alchemy for a long time.

In the face of so many benefits, each clan branch is willing to spare no effort to fight for it in exchange for more children from their own clan to enter the clan.

At the same time, in order to enhance the actual combat experience of the clan members, the clan specifically allows each clan branch to invite a monk with a surname other than Xiao to participate in the clan competition. Each family is limited to three places. During the competition, except for magic weapons, they cannot be used. , other means can be used.

The martial arts competition that the Xiao family will hold here is specifically for the intra-clan competition that the Xiao clan will hold in six months.

The three of them were also very grateful to the monk surnamed Gu for his detailed explanation. After that, the four of them discussed their cultivation experiences with each other, and then Qin Fengming and the other two sent the old man surnamed Gu out of the attic.

After some conversation, Qin Fengming turned to the old man named Gu and said,

It seemed that he didn't care much about the quota for the competition, and he came here just for the gift prepared by the Xiao family.

But the old man surnamed Gu did not elaborate on what the gift was.

Back in the room, Qin Fengming casually set up a small restriction. This restriction can block other monks' spiritual exploration and has a sound insulation effect.

With this restricted defense, Qin Fengming and the three of them started talking with great confidence.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what are your plans for this situation?"

"Haha, my uncle and nephew will follow the arrangements of fellow Taoist Wei. If you have any ideas, please tell me." Xiao Jinxuan hesitated for a moment and then said immediately.

Although he had a plan in his mind, he was still very sensible and did not say it directly in front of this middle-aged monk.

"Now that we are here, we might as well participate in this competition. If we are selected, we can directly follow the people of the Xiao family here to the Xiao clan. At that time, fellow Taoists can act according to their circumstances to find the leader of the Xiao clan. The person explained his purpose of coming, what do fellow Daoist Xiao think?"

"That's very good. It can also save me a lot of trouble waiting on the road. This matter requires Fellow Daoist Wei to take a lot of trouble. I, the Xiao family, will definitely feel great virtue."

Xiao Jinxuan had already intended this, and upon hearing it, he immediately agreed.

"Haha, since Wei has promised to do his best to facilitate the trip of fellow Taoist Taoist, he will do his best. However, if he really comes to the Xiao clan, and asks fellow Taoist to hide Wei, just say that the wise uncle and nephew came here alone, Wei will I feel deeply righteous.”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant. After a moment, he nodded and said firmly:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I, Xiao Jinxuan, hereby swear that I, the Xiao family, only have gratitude in my heart for Fellow Daoist, and I will never mean any disrespect."

As he spoke, he actually made a hand seal and swore an oath to the inner demon. Although this kind of oath cannot be compared with the blood curse, for those who cultivate immortality, if they do not act according to their words, they will definitely suffer from it.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan acting like this, Qin Fengming did not say anything to stop him. After the other party finished acting, he smiled slightly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is serious. I think that the three of you and I have shared joys and sorrows, gone through hardships, and walked on the edge of hell several times. It can be said that we have experienced life and death together. Wei naturally trusts fellow Taoist as a person. No matter where he is in the future, Wei will definitely not trust him." forget."

Qin Fengming made the matter clear at this time because he wanted to be cautious. Thinking of the giant Xiao clan in Qianhuzhou, he felt depressed.

Not to mention the Huaying cultivators, there are also Chengdan cultivators everywhere in the sect. Even in the inconspicuous Xiao family branch here, there are three Chengdan cultivators in charge. If you are not careful in the Xiao family, It is possible to fall and die.
