Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

A day passed in a flash.

That morning, a disciple came to Wanning Palace to deliver a message, saying that the headmaster asked Lu Li and Uncle Jiu to go to Wanfu Palace to discuss matters.

The two guessed that it should be about the Taoist competition.

After all, there are only ten days left before it starts.

The two of them dropped what they were doing and rushed over.

As soon as I entered the Wanfu Palace, I saw that the elders had already arrived and were chatting and laughing with Master Qin.

Seeing Uncle Jiu and Lu Li coming together, Master Qin asked with concern.

"Ajiu, didn't you go into seclusion to consolidate your cultivation? Xiaoli can take care of this matter."

Uncle Jiu replied respectfully.

“Master, my cultivation has stabilized, and I just happened to come here with Xiao Li after receiving the message.

If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."

"Well, with you here, the four Jindan Zhenren in our Maoshan have gathered together."

The other elders also smiled at this moment.

Who doesn't want their sect to become more and more powerful?

Maoshan originally had nine elders, and later Lu Li and Uncle Jiu also joined in.

After Shi Jian entered the Jindan stage, he was also placed in the Punishment Hall as an elder.

So currently there are a total of twelve elders in Maoshan.

Among them, three are in the Jindan stage, and the remaining nine are in the late foundation building stage.

Maoshan's apparent strength is considered to be a top-notch sect in the spiritual world.

After Lu Li and Uncle Jiu sat down.

Master Qin said on it:

“Everyone knows that the Dao Sect Competition will begin in a dozen days.

Many sects have already arrived.

They are all placed on the fifth peak.

Fifth Elder, please tell us about their situation first."

The fifth elder is a chubby old man who usually smiles at everyone and seems harmless.

That's why he was put in charge of Maoshan's external affairs.

But Lu Li knew that among the nine old men in Maoshan, except for Elder Cui, the other one was really straightforward.

The other eight are all smiling tigers.

“There are a total of forty major sects that are eligible to participate in the Taoist Competition.

Twenty-five have arrived at the headquarters so far, and another fifteen have been notified that they are on the way.

It will probably arrive in the next few days.

I will be responsible for personally receiving these forty sects.

We invited fifteen sects that are friendly with Maoshan to watch the battle.

There are also more than thirty independent cultivators.

They were all received by Chizuru.

There was also a small sect, and Lu Li took a family of individual guests away personally.

Currently living in Ermao Peak. ”

After the fifth elder finished speaking, Master Qin looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li knew that the Fifth Elder was talking about the Zhuge brothers and Ao Tianlong and his daughter.

He nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.

Master Qin then turned around and asked.

“Have the stands for individual tourists been set up?

There may also be many believers who will come.”

“Master, everything has been arranged.

The newly built viewing stands and competition arenas are already being inspected one by one.

The location is at our martial arts training ground at Damao Peak."

The fifth elder replied confidently.

"Good! The five elders from the five peaks will be credited with a great achievement for the successful holding of the competition this time."

Master Qin smiled happily.

The fifth elder was so happy that he couldn't even see.

"Master, let's not talk about whether we have achieved any merit or not, can you please reward us with a few Soul-Enriching Pills made by Hua Ling?

That pill would really be effective if you take it when your soul is injured.

We can even produce the herbs ourselves.”

Master Qin did not make the decision for Hua Ling but looked in the direction of Uncle Jiu first.

That is Hua Ling’s master.

How could Uncle Jiu, who understood Master Qin's thoughts, not give him face?

He immediately said, “No problem, I’ll make the decision for Hua Ling.

As long as Fifth Uncle is willing to provide the herbs, I will refine a furnace for you without having to give you a few pills."

“It’s a deal, Jiu’s demeanor is indeed extraordinary.

The headmaster has indeed accepted a good disciple."

When Master Qin saw that Uncle Jiu was giving him so much face, he couldn't stop laughing.

“Okay, since the visitors can be arranged, I won’t ask any more questions.

If Master Zhang from the Tianshi Mansion comes, remember to tell Xiaoli.

He went with me to greet him.

Xiao Li has received a favor from others, it would be embarrassing if he didn't go."

Lu Li didn't expect that Master Qin was still thinking about this for him.

He stood up and bowed to Master Qin.

He was polite to the fifth elder again.

The fifth elder just received the benefits and agreed with a smile on his face.

"Have you arranged all the disciples who have signed up for your sect?"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

No one spoke.

Shi Jian spoke first upon seeing this: “I only have one disciple, and he has already signed up.

His cultivation is in the middle stage of Qi training."

Uncle Jiu also took over the conversation: "One of my disciples has also reported that his cultivation is in the late stage of Qi training."

Shi Jian was surprised and asked, "Junior brother, you have a disciple in the late stage of Qi training. Who is it?"

He had seen all of Uncle Jiu's disciples in the mountains, but there wasn't even one in the middle stage of Qi training.

“I received him when I was in Renjia Town. When I returned to Maoshan, I asked him to stay and look after the temple for me.

The person who broke through to the late stage of Qi training the year before was called Qiu Sheng. "

Uncle Jiu said proudly.

Shi Jian felt jealous because none of Uncle Jiu's disciples lived up to expectations except for the one named Wencai.

The others have already come forward.

Not to mention Lu Li and Hua Ling, even the foreigner guy looks very smart.

Now there's Qiu Sheng who has unknowingly reached the late stage of Qi training.

And his eldest son and apprentice is still in the middle stage of Qi training in recent years.

How could I, who has been so strong all my life, give birth to such a playboy?

Seeing Shi Jian’s face turn green, Lu Li quickly leaned over.

"Master, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Jian took a deep breath to relieve the stuffiness in his chest.

"I'm fine, just a little out of breath.

Once the meeting is over, Master Uncle has something to tell you."

A stitch in the side? You, a Jindan Zhenren, can also get a stitch in the side.

"Okay, then we'll go back to Wanning Palace together."

Lu Li agreed without asking any questions, because Shi Jian would definitely not harm him anyway.

After everyone had finished reporting, Master Qin fell silent.

"That's it? Look, there isn't even a single disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even if we add the more than 50 third-generation disciples who have reported from outside, the one with the highest cultivation level is Ajiu's disciple.

But can you win the championship in the later stages of Qi training? You decide for yourself."

Definitely not. In the last competition, there were seven or eight people in the late stage of Qi training.

If Shi Jian had not already broken through to the early stage of foundation building at that time.

Even if he knew the "Lightning Thunder Fist", he couldn't guarantee that he could take first place.

After hearing this, Lu Li thought to himself, if only he had left the Novice Village.

Not to mention these third-generation disciples, even if the leaders of these sects come up, they can win the championship themselves.

It’s a pity that I can’t get up there.

All the elders looked ashamed.

Everyone took a look after excluding Uncle Jiu's lineage.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

None of the three generations of Maoshan disciples lived up to their expectations.

If it weren’t for the fact that Uncle Jiu had two or three outstanding disciples.

By the time these people go down to find the ancestor Maoshan will have to be disbanded.

"It's all our incompetence!"

Several elders said with shame on their faces.

Even Shi Jian lowered his head at this moment.

“You have also discovered that if it weren’t for Ajiu’s disciple Lu Li, there would be another flower spirit who can make pills.

It is not certain whether Maoshan will still exist after we old guys retire.

I can’t blame you. It is indeed not easy to practice cultivation nowadays.

It's not just us, I think other sects are not much better.

But these are not reasons, we need to change.

If you don't change, you will die.

Go back and think about what to do, and first deal with the big situation in front of you."

Master Qin said in a serious tone.

Everyone should be.

As the meeting ended, Qin Zhenren let everyone leave.

As soon as they walked out of the palace, Shi Jian pulled Lu Li towards Ermao Peak.

Although Uncle Jiu was curious about what could make Senior Brother Shi Jian so anxious.

But I didn't ask on the way.
