Chapter 453

Li Bingnan, Zhou Banyu, Junior Sister Ren, Junior Sister Jiang, and the others looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Although it was not Jindan Grandmaster, it was one of the best choices besides Jindan Grandmaster. Whether it was strength, status, or possible achievements in the future, Martial Uncle Shi was second to none in Penglai's Spirit Stage. Even the disciples faintly regarded him as Jindan Grandmaster. The only worry was that Martial Uncle Shi was in the period of breaking through to the Jindan Stage, so he might not be able to divert his attention to accept disciples. In this regard, he could not be compared with those Spirit Stage cultivators who had been cultivating for many years. They needed to plan for the future and want to train some good disciples.

For Li Bingnan and Zhou Banyu, Martial Uncle Shi's name had long resounded like thunder in their ears, but what left a deeper impression on them was Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde's reverence for Martial Uncle Shi. The degree of reverence was even higher than their reverence for Xie Fangwei, a Jindan Stage master. This really puzzled them.

Shi Xuan walked to the podium and looked at the disciples below. "I believe everyone is clear about the task this time. I will not waste your time. Let's start now." Yesterday, Shi Xuan attended the ceremony of Yu Ruoshui's promotion to a successor disciple and accompanied her to choose spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and so on. She finally knew who Immortal Jiang was. Unfortunately, her master Yue Wanyin had not returned since she went out a few decades ago. If her name on the sect's inheritance book had not changed, Shi Xuan would have thought that she had died. However, if Yue Wanyin did not take the life-prolonging elixir, then in another forty or fifty years, she would also reach the end of her life.

"Yes." Hundreds of disciples responded in unison.

Shi Xuan's selection criteria were very simple. It was fine as long as the disciples did not like to cause trouble. He was not choosing disciples for himself, so there was no need to be so complicated. However, he still needed to pay attention to the balance between men and women. Otherwise, if he brought a group of male and female disciples, other sects would misunderstand that Penglai had merged with the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Guang Han Sect.

As Shi Xuan's eyes swept over the inner disciples in the first row, they all showed nervous and expectant expressions. They all held their breath, for fear that they would be excluded if they did something different from the others.

"What's your name?" Shi Xuan asked as he looked at a middle-aged inner disciple. The reason why he chose him was because he had an extraordinary bearing, good looks, and his cultivation was also at the peak of the Qi Drawing Realm. No matter how you looked at it, he would not lose face for the Luofu Sect if he went to the Luofu Sect. As for how long he had been in the Qi Drawing Realm, that was not something that Shi Xuan cared about. He was merely an inner disciple, so he would not be compared to cultivators who had already broken through to the Divine Soul Stage.

In any case, that middle-aged disciple had cultivated for many years. Although he was also nervous, excited, and happy, he could still restrain himself on the surface. He said in a serious manner, "Reporting to Chief Shi, disciple is Luo Banshan."

Shi Xuan nodded. "Are you willing to follow me to the Luofu Sect?"

Luo Banshan secretly took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. "Disciple is willing." Then, he walked out and stood to the side, not disturbing Martial Uncle Shi from observing the other disciples.

Shi Xuan looked at the twenty or so inner disciples again. Finally, he stared at a beautiful girl in a light yellow robe and said, "May I know your name? Are you willing to follow me to the Luofu Sect? "She looked very dignified and generous.

The girl in the light yellow robe had a clear and melodious voice. "Disciple Tang Youqiu is willing to follow you to the Luofu Sect, Chief Shi." Her cultivation was only at the primary level of the Qi Drawing Realm. Presumably, after completing this Karma task, she would go out to travel. However, compared to the other inner disciples whose cultivation was higher than hers, she appeared to be calmer and calmer, as if she had an aura that could suppress the situation.

Now that the two inner disciples had been selected, the other inner disciples were extremely disappointed. They had broken through to the Qi Drawing Realm at different times, but the only thing they had in common was that they were not accepted as disciples by the elders of the God Soul Stage and Jindan Grandmaster. In other words, they either used tricks in their cultivation, or there was something wrong with their temperament. This included Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu, who were selected by Shi Xuan. Of course, if they were from a family, they could also find a master through their connections.

Shi Shuan walked past the first row and arrived at the outer sect disciples. When they saw Shi Shuan walking over, they were even more unable to control their emotions compared to the inner sect disciples. Some were so nervous that they didn't know what to do, some didn't even dare to raise their heads to look at him. Of course, there were also some who were calm and composed.

However, the selection of the outer disciples was easier than that of the inner disciples because Shi Xuan had already sensed their discussion with his Divine Sense. He already had a plan in mind, so he directly walked in front of Li Bingnan and Zhou Banyu. "You two, tell me your names." Shi Xuan looked at them calmly.

Li Bingnan happily bowed and said, "Uncle Shi, I am Li Bingnan, and this is Zhou Banyu. We are all willing to follow you to the Luofu Sect. "

Zhou Banyu followed closely behind and said in a low voice, "Disciple Zhou Banyu greets Uncle Shi."

"Well, all of you come forward." Shi Xuan nodded, which made the other outer disciples envious and jealous. Could it be that Uncle Shi was doing this for the sake of their good friend's master? Could it be that people with connections always took priority wherever they went?! In fact, for Shi Xuan, excluding those who liked to cause trouble, it was the same no matter who he chose. Naturally, it was better to choose those who had a good impression of him.

Then, Shi Xuan looked at the female disciples surnamed Ren and Jiang and asked, "What are your names?"

The female disciples surnamed Ren and Jiang were shocked at first and then looked around. When they found that Uncle Shi was indeed asking them, they stepped forward excitedly and bowed. "Disciple Ren Shuiyao (Jiang Nianqiao) is willing." Then, under the envious gaze of the other outer disciples, they walked briskly to the side of Luo Banshan, Tang Youqiu and the others.

Then, Shi Xuan chose four outer disciples, two male and two female. Without exception, they were all excited and excited.

"Alright, I've chosen the disciple for this mission. Don't delay the other martial nephews. " After Shi Xuan finished speaking in a flat tone, he waved his sleeve and a breeze rose under the feet of the ten disciples, bringing them along with him to the Phecda Peak.

"Alas, Li Bingnan is really lucky." Jin Leiyu said indignantly.

Another outer court disciple couldn't hide his disappointment. But, he still said, "But, Martial Uncle Shi is still fair. Apart from Li Bingnan and Zhou Ban Yu, the other six disciples are not related."

"Junior Sister Ren and Junior Sister Jiang are really lucky. Maybe they will be favored by Uncle Shi on the way. Alas, why didn't he choose us?" In the discussion, the disciples left dejectedly.

…

Shi Xuan's cave residence on the Phecda Peak.

Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on his cattail hassock like Mo Yuan in the past. Looking at the ten disciples opposite him, he said, "This time I represent the sect to congratulate the Luofu Sect. It concerns the dignity of the sect, so I have to give you some explanation."

Under Tang Youqiu's lead, these disciples said in unison, "Uncle Shi, please give us advice. We are all ears."

Shi Xuan nodded and said slowly, "First, when you arrive at the Luofu Sect, talk less and listen more. Don't cause trouble. Second, try not to act alone. Third, Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu, the two martial nephews, can make the decision for small matters. There is no need to look for me." Actually, what Shi Xuan wanted to say the most was: Listen to all instructions.

"Yes, Uncle Shi," Luo Banshan and the others answered respectfully.

Shi Xuan saw that some of them looked confused, so he asked, "About these three points, do you have any questions?"

Li Bingnan hesitated and said, "Uncle Shi, we are confident that we will not cause trouble, but what if the disciples of other sects provoke us? I heard that this time the Blood Demon Sect and the Hades Sect are going to send people to congratulate us. "

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I have already considered this point. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If you offend me, I will definitely fight back. As long as we are in the right, when people offend us, we don't have to be timid and retreat. Otherwise, people will laugh at me, Penglai, for being cowardly and weak." When he knew that the Blood Demon Sect and the Hades Sect were going to send people, Shi Xuan was worried that there would be some small trouble. However, in the Luofu Sect, there would not be any fight to the death. At most, they would have to walk on the battle stage.

The disciples smiled and looked at each other. If they were scolded and didn't fight back when they were hit, that would be extremely embarrassing.

Shi Xuan waited for them to calm down a bit before saying with a smile, "Martial Niece Luo and Martial Niece Tang have both been Qi Drawing Stage cultivators for many years. Whether it is cultivation or battle experience, I am not worried that you will be at a disadvantage. However, among the eight outer sect disciples, there are quite a few who have just entered the sect. If something happens, it will be very easy for you to be at a disadvantage." At this point, Shi Xuan paused.

Li Bingnan and Zhou Banyu only felt that Uncle Shi was concerned about them, so they felt a burst of warmth in their hearts. Ren Shuiyao, Jiang Nianqiao, and the other quick-witted girls could sense the unspoken meaning of Shi Xuan's words. They were afraid that he was going to give them some benefits. Therefore, besides feeling warm in their hearts, their faces also showed faint joy and excitement.

"There are only seven days left until the Golden Core Ceremony. I do not have the means to raise your cultivation in such a short time. However, I happen to have a set of flying swords and a sword array. If you practice well in these few days, you will have no problem dealing with a Qi Drawing Stage cultivator." Shi Xuan slowly said.

Of course, those Qi Drawing Stage cultivators could at most achieve small success in the Qi Drawing Stage. They had not even mastered their natal magic weapons. After all, there was a huge gap between the Qi Drawing Stage and the Out of Aperture Stage. It was not something that Shi Xuan's flying swords and sword array could completely make up for. In fact, even if they were cultivators who had not achieved small success in the Qi Drawing Stage, as long as they could keep their composure and focus on defense, they would be able to exhaust these Out of Aperture Stage disciples. They did not use their Qi to control the flying swords, so it would be difficult for them to last for long.

Jiang Nianqiao was shocked and blurted out, "Uncle Shi, you are going to give us flying swords?" Most of them had only been in the sect for six years, so most of them only had a cyan-steel sword, which was a low-grade magic weapon.

Shi Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "How can such a good thing happen to me? I have never encountered one before. I am only lending it to you temporarily."

Jiang Nianqiao saw that Shi Xuan's attitude was easy-going. He was not arrogant or indifferent. Jiang Nianqiao also let go of her reservations and said with a smile, "Even so, we still have to thank Uncle Shi. The sword array that you passed down must be very powerful."
