Lou Xiaoyi thought so, but it didn't matter. But the people around him didn't think so!
Once a Xuanyuan Swordsman entered the rankings, there were only two situations. One was to move forward, and the other was to die for glory!
Occasionally, there would be a situation where they would fall back, but Dafa always moved forward. There had never been a situation where they were kicked out of the rankings!
Lou Xiaoyi was famous, but this time, it wasn't a good name, but a bad one!
Wasn't this a disgrace to the Xuanyuan Swordsman?
Although no one said it to his face, there were still rumors that occasionally reached his ears. Especially those about the last time he met with Ling Ruofeng and the others. They used it as evidence that he didn't want to improve himself, and that he was afraid of retreating!
The world was so strange. Achievements became the wind vane that determined everything. If you were ranked high, there would naturally be a lot of flattery. Saying such words was modesty. If your results weren't good, these words would become cowardice.
Once a person entered the rankings, there would be a lot of gossip. Whether you liked it or not, you would inevitably become the topic of discussion. This was expected. Lou Xiaoyi was thick-skinned and could handle it!
He could, but there were others who couldn't! Letting more External Swords enter the rankings was also a result of cultivating disciples. External Swordsman Sword Qi Soar to the Sky had more than ten positions in the Hall of Appointments. He was in charge of daily cultivation and distribution of resources. There were also other Halls. For example, the Hidden Hall was in charge of law enforcement, the Dark Hall was in charge of sending people to other areas, and the Ming Hall was in charge of imparting skills to cultivators.
This time, Lou Xiaoyi was summoned to the Ming Hall. In fact, his relationship with this Hall wasn't shallow. These days, all the discussions in the Hall of Scriptures were arranged by the Ming Hall. He also received information from the Ming Hall about the time, place, and who would be preaching. Only then could he accurately attend the lectures of different Martial Uncles Jin Dan.
Thus, he had no choice but to go when the Inscription Hall summoned him. In fact, no matter which hall summoned him, he had to go. This was his responsibility as a disciple of Xuanyuan. You can't just take from the sect and not pay back, unless you are so ordinary that people can't remember you …
The Hall Master of Ming Chuan Hall was Gu Shan, a kind-looking man who was also a Jin Dan External Sword. In Xuanyuan Sword School, there was no difference in status between a Swordsman with a job and a non-job. On the contrary, non-job Swordsman had more potential. Their goal was to reach a higher level, and the school didn't want to restrict them with some mundane affairs.
"What has Little Yi been practicing recently? Are there any difficulties in cultivation? If you need someone to give you pointers, I can arrange for an Uncle-Master who is good in this area to give you a lecture. In my External Sword Lineage, the Sect will still be biased in terms of educational resources for talented disciples! "
Lou Xiaoyi hurriedly thanked him. Since ancient times, one would not visit a temple without a cause. There must be a reason for him to be so attentive! Since he had given him this sweet date, the next step should be to reveal his true intentions, right?
"Recently, this disciple has been obsessed with 'Shi' and wants to have a breakthrough in this area. Thus, as long as it is Uncle-Master Gu Cang's lecture, I will definitely go. I have indeed learned many different things and have benefited greatly!"
Gu Shan nodded. "You have chosen well. In the Jin Dan External Sword School, Junior Brother Gu Cang's' Shi 'sword is very famous and is ranked in the top three. There are two others, one is not at the dome and the other is cultivating in seclusion. When they return, I will arrange a few more lectures. I believe that they will be able to satisfy your requirements!"
Lou Xiaoyi was a yes-man. To a superior, after the promise of a sweet date, it was his true intentions.
"There is an exchange mission organized by the Temple of Sangha. It has a history of over ten thousand years and is held every thirty years. It is called 'A Hundred Vying Barges'!
This is limited to the Western Regions and is a Foundation Establishment activity. It gathers all the young talents of the Western Regions and everyone gathers together to improve through competition and get to know each other through competition …
Every time 'A Hundred Vying Barges', my Xuanyuan Sect will send disciples to participate. This time, it is the same. Two of the Internal Sword School will be going and three of my External Sword School will be going. Thus, I thought of you! "
Lou Xiaoyi had a flattered look. "Uncle-Master, this so-called exchange, is there a reason?"
Gu Shan twirled his beard and smiled. "Most of the people who participate are either on the ranking list or have the strength to be on the ranking list. The candidates are not chosen voluntarily but are recommended by the Sect. Thus, there are basically no people who are just there to make up the numbers!
Didn't Little Yi also stay on the ranking list for three years? Thus, I feel that you have the ability to participate! There is no need to be too worried. This is only a local activity in the Western Regions and the number of people who can participate is limited to a hundred. Furthermore, those cultivators who are ranked at the top will not participate. They have their own stage!
The key is the reward!
This time, the reward for 'A Hundred Vying Barges' is a few Force Possession items. They are very precious and suitable for you. Thus, I summoned you. Little Yi, you don't need to thank me! "
Lou Xiaoyi's face was full of joy, but his heart did not match his face. The reward may be one reason, but there was another. This kind of exchange competition could have an effect on a cultivator's ranking in the Foundation Establishment List. It seemed that some big shot of the External Sword School was unhappy and wanted to push him out. If he participated in more similar competitions, he would naturally have a ranking.
Objects with power were one of the most important ways to comprehend power!
Force was not only valued by Swordsman, but also by Dharma Cultivators! Besides comprehending Force by oneself, there was another way to greatly increase a cultivator's success rate in comprehending Force! It was an artifact that was sealed by a high-level cultivator under certain special circumstances. It was not restricted to its form. It could be a rock, a tree branch, a handful of spring water, a magic artifact, a weapon …
This item could provide a cultivator with one or more experiences of Force. It could make something that was usually invisible and intangible appear in front of the cultivator, allowing the cultivator to experience the most realistic baptism of Force!
It was not guaranteed to succeed, but it would definitely increase the cultivator's chances of comprehending Force!
In the Cultivation World, this kind of strange item was very popular. It meant that the cultivator's strength could undergo a qualitative increase! It was not something that could be measured by spirit stones.
In the Cultivation World, Force at a low level and Dao at a high level all required such items to supplement it!
Xuanyuan Swordsman disdained external items. This was their tradition. However, in a sense, because of their weak Dao system, it was very difficult for them to create such items. Combat and non-combat were completely different.
Thus, rather than saying that they disdained it, it was better to say that they could not create Force Possession items!
Grapes that could not be eaten were naturally sour!
However, orthodox Daoist sects were different. They were the best at creating these strange items. A few of the top Dharma Cultivator sects had dabbled in this area. Among them, only Garan Sect specialized in this area!
Garan Force Possession items were the guarantee of quality!
It was also because of this that A Hundred Vying Barges was so precious, causing cultivators to scramble like ducks!
