Chapter 293: The General Academy Competition and the Five Elements Sun-Moon Sword Formation
“Dean, you mean, I also want to participate in the competition?”
Hearing what Dean Gong said, Zhou Ling was quite surprised.
I didn’t expect that I would now become a teacher in the inner courtyard and have to participate in the competition.
For this Jiutian Sword Academy competition, the reason why Dean Gong asked Zhou Ling to go is because this competition is special.
It's not just a competition between Taoist disciples.
At the same time, there are also competitions between teachers and students.
The reason why it is called the General Hospital Competition.
This competition was held between Taoist temples in various fairy cities.
And in Qingyun Immortal City, in the competition between the four avenues last year, Jiutian Sword Academy won.
Therefore, Jiutian Sword Academy represented Qingyun Immortal City in the battle.
This competition is not only closely related to Jiutian Sword Academy, but also closely related to Qingyun Immortal City.
The reason why I say this.
It is mainly related to the system of the Dao League.
Now the Dao League controls the ratings of all fairy cities.
The level of the fairy city is not static.
Every ten years, there will be a competition.
There are two main aspects.
The first is the number of realms opened up by aristocratic families. This is also one of the reasons why Tiangong Division will assist other aristocratic families in opening up realms.
The second is the grade of the Taoist temple. The higher the grade of the Taoist temple, the higher the score the fairy city will receive.
Each fairy city can only have one Taoist temple representing the fairy city in each session.
If you excel in both areas.
Then the fairy city will be improved.
For example, Qingyun Immortal City was originally at the fourth level, but it will be upgraded to the fifth level.
As long as it is promoted to the fifth-level Immortal City, the Dao Alliance will have extremely amazing means to enhance the power of the rules of the Immortal City.
This will be of great help to the monks and the resources of the fairy city.
Qingyun Immortal City is only a fourth-grade Immortal City now, and the power of rules it contains does not have the ability to impact the realm of divine transformation.
So the monks who have reached the peak of Nascent Soul can only go to a higher-level fairy city to attack the gods.
But each fairy city has its own power, and other Nascent Soul monks will not be easily allowed to survive the tribulation in the fairy city.
After all, transforming the Divine Thunder Tribulation will greatly consume the original rules of the fairy city.
This is not good for the local monks in the fairy city.
Of course, these are still far from Zhou Ling.
It’s just that this general academy competition is related to the score of Immortal City, so there is also a Taoist academy teaching competition.
There are only two places in Jiutian Sword Academy this year.
“Originally, the quota this time was given to other teachers, but since you already have the Five Elements Wanxiang, this quota will be given to you!”
"The other one is me."
Dean Gong looked at Zhou Ling with his beautiful eyes and said aloud.
"Dean, what are the rewards for this kind of competition in the Fairy City General Hospital?"
Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.
Although he is now in charge of the Tiangong Department, he should do his part for Qingyun Immortal City.
But now he is too busy with all kinds of things, so he has time to participate in this kind of competition.
After all, the Zhou family is only a foundation-building family now. This kind of thing should be left to the Yuanying family and other forces to worry about.
"There will naturally be rewards. If you win, in addition to getting a lot of points, you can also get valuable materials such as the Infant Transformation Pill."
"If you can help me get the Infant Transformation Pill Dan, of course I want to thank you too!”
“And if we can win, the level of Qingyun Immortal City Jiutian Sword Academy will also be improved, and the Taoist teachers and disciples will benefit!”
Dean Gong glanced at Zhou Ling with his beautiful eyes and said with a slight smile.
Having been with Zhou Ling for a long time, she also knows Zhou Ling's character.
This guy is not a gentleman. He will not do anything without profit.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately straightened up his expression, nodded and said, "If the dean asks me to participate, then of course I am obligated."
He also knows that dean Gong is now For those who have advanced to the Golden Pill stage, if the reward this time includes the Infant Transformation Pill, then of course you can’t miss it.
After all, it is impossible for the Dao League to allow such a high-level strategic resource as Huaying Dan to circulate in the market.
It can only be obtained through the formal channels of Daomeng.
"Dean, where will this competition be held and what method of fighting will be used?"
Following Dean Gong's words, Zhou Ling continued to ask.
To avoid the embarrassment of not participating just now.
If it was about Qingyun Immortal City and Jiutian Sword Academy, he had no interest.
But of course he wants to help with Dean Gong’s matters.
After all, it was thanks to the help of Dean Gong that the swordsmanship reached this stage.
"This competition will be held in Qingyang Immortal City in March next year."
"At that time, representatives of the Taoist academies from the Immortal City of Level 3 and above will participate."
The dean of the palace said so.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned and asked directly, "Dean, the Taoist temple in Qingyang Immortal City also wants to participate?"
His tone was full of doubts, what is the situation in other immortal cities? ?
He doesn’t know much about it in detail, but he has been to Qingyang Immortal City and met some disciples of Qingyang Immortal City Taoist Academy.
Their cultivation level is much higher than that of the disciples of Qingyun Immortal City Taoist Academy.
The overall cultivation level of teaching is also much higher.
Fighting against Qingyang Immortal City Taoist Academy, other immortal cities definitely have no chance of winning.
"The participants this time are the disciples of the inner courtyard. Each Taoist academy has four quotas, plus two teaching quotas."
"The disciples of the inner courtyard are all foundation-building monks. In terms of teaching, It is stipulated that it can only be the cultivation of golden elixir."
Dean Gong replied.
He looked relaxed and didn't seem to have much fear of the Taoist temple in Qingyang Immortal City.
Zhou Ling can also understand this. After all, the dean is a late-stage Jindan cultivator and a three-level and four-step sword cultivator. Even if he goes up against a Nascent Soul cultivator, he may not suffer a loss.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling felt that if he participated in the competition as a teacher, he would be at a huge loss.
The opponents he faced were all Golden Core cultivators.
But now I am no longer a Taoist disciple.
Even in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, he was already a teacher in the inner courtyard, and his status as a disciple was gone forever.
"Hey, it's a pity. If it had been done earlier, then I would have participated as a disciple, that would have been perfect!"
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
"Dean, my cultivation is only in the late stage of foundation building. Can I be included in the disciple quota?"
After thinking about it, Zhou Ling asked with a smile.
After all, I am not very young, so this operation is reasonable and reasonable.
And against other foundation-building monks, he was very confident.
But when you meet a Golden elixir monk, the early stage of the Golden elixir is relatively easy.
With Dean Gong’s level of cultivation, he has no chance of winning.
“No!”
Dean Palace shook his head, then glared at him and said, "As a sword cultivator, you naturally have to face difficulties, so there is a reason to pick on the weak!"
"In this competition, It’s also an opportunity for you to practice swordsmanship.”
“In addition, the two of us will join forces, so you don’t have to worry too much!”
In her opinion, although Zhou Ling is just a man. He is in the late stage of foundation building, but he has understood the Five Elements and All-Seeing Sword Intent, so he will have no problem dealing with the early stage monks of the Golden Core.
And this time they are joining forces to fight against the enemy. The two have similar sword intentions. Together, they will be more powerful.
This was one of the reasons why she chose Zhou Ling.
“Join forces?”
Zhou Ling looked puzzled.
Afterwards, Dean Gong told Zhou Ling the details of the competition in the main hospital.
This competition is not a one-man battle. Rather, it takes the Taoist temple as a whole.
The four participating disciples and two instructors all competed at the same time.
Disciples compete with disciples, and teachers compete with teachers.
Finally, the overall score is based on ranking.
According to what Dean Gong said, the four disciples have already practiced a set of second-level top-quality combined fencing formations.
If it can be used stably, it will be powerful enough to deal with the golden elixir monks.
From Dean Gong’s tone, she seemed to be very confident.
"Dean, is there a suitable sword formation between us?"
Zhou Ling asked.
Fighting against the Golden Core cultivator, he felt that his confidence was still a little lacking.
He didn't want to hold back the Dean of the Palace at the critical moment!
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the Palace Dean's beautiful eyes were clear and her eyebrows were slightly raised, knowing that Zhou Ling was trying to figure out the swordsmanship in her hand again.
But that doesn’t matter. She wants to train Zhou Ling to become a five-level sword cultivator, so she won’t skimp on sword techniques.
At Zhou Ling's level of cultivation, it would be very difficult to make further progress without the guidance of a famous teacher.
This is also the reason why casual cultivators want to join aristocratic families.
In addition to not having enough resources for casual cultivators, the key point is that they have no inherited cultivation techniques.
There are very few casual cultivators who can reach the realm of golden elixir.
"I happen to have a Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation in my hand, which is suitable for the two of us!"
Dean Gong smiled, and then handed a jade slip to Zhou Ling.
"Take a look first, and if you don't understand anything, ask me again!"
"Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation!"
Zhou Ling took the jade slip, curiosity flashed in his eyes color.
"The five elements circulate, condense the sun and moon sword soul, and turn into the sword energy of the sword domain!"
Zhou Ling looked at the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and after seeing the content of the sword formula inside, he immediately understood the white palace Why did the dean choose this sword technique?
This Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation can be said to be tailor-made for him, using the Five Elements Sword Qi to condense the Sun Soul.
The Dean of the Palace condensed the soul of the moon, the sun and the moon into one, and condensed the soul of the sword of heaven and earth, and the power was greatly increased.
"Dean, with this Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation, can we deal with the peak Golden Core cultivators?"
"But if the opponent is two peak Golden Core cultivators, then I Isn’t it a hindrance to the dean?”
Zhou Ling asked again.
Dean Palace shook his head and said, "Even two monks at the peak of Golden Core may not be able to defeat us if they cannot condense the formation."
"Of course, in the next three months or so, Time, we have to master the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ling was even more surprised. The dean's expectations for him were too high.
He actually had to defeat the peak golden elixir cultivator.
“Dean, it’s not that I don’t have confidence in this sword formation, it’s just that I have only cultivated in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If I meet a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, I will definitely not be my opponent!”
Zhou Ling said with a wry smile, asking Dean Gong not to have too high expectations of himself.
“Don’t worry, not every Taoist temple will send two peak Golden Core monks. Even if you encounter the middle stage of the Golden Core, if your Five Elements and All-Seeing Sword Intent is well used, there is no chance of winning!”
"Treat it as a competition to sharpen your swordsmanship!"
Dean Gong said with a relaxed expression.
"Will this work?"
Zhou Ling said helplessly.
He thinks he has always been very low-key.
Why does the dean think that he can deal with the middle-stage Jindan monks?
This is obviously unreasonable!
“There are a total of 128 Taoist temples participating this time. As long as we can enter the top 16, we will win!”
Dean Gong seemed to have great confidence in Zhou Ling.
The Five Elements Sword Domain is almost invincible in the realm of foundation building.
Even if it is against an ordinary golden elixir in the early stage, it will not suffer a loss.
Coupled with my own cooperation, it would be barely enough to deal with two peak Jindans.
After all, this competition is extremely important to any Taoist school.
Therefore, the teachers who participated in the competition must have high strength in all aspects.
Of course, their goal is to enter the top 16, that is enough.
"Don't worry, Dean, I will do my best! I won't let you down!"
Zhou Ling nodded and said.
Anyway, this is the situation, and it is impossible to back down.
The next step is to go all out.
Fortunately, there are still three months left, which is enough to upgrade one's cultivation to the ninth level of foundation building, and then stabilize the Five Elements Sword Intent and the Five Elements Sun-Moon Sword Formation.
With the cooperation of the dean, it won’t be too miserable!
“You don’t need to be too nervous. I still say the same thing, just hone your swordsmanship and actual combat level.”
Dean Gong didn’t want Zhou Ling to feel too much. A lot of pressure.
"Yes, Dean!"
Zhou Ling nodded.
"Next, we need to pay more attention to the practice of the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation. Make sure that within two days, you can enter the Sword Shadow Jade and practice with me once!"
Before leaving, Gong The dean warned him again.
Zhou Ling naturally agreed.
But this time is not easy to arrange!
It can only be arranged at night!
·······.
When I got home, my mother was already cleaning up with people.
There are only three days until the Little New Year.
The Taoist temple has also begun to have a holiday.
Zhou Ling first inspected the workshop for a while.
Now the workshop has doubled in size, and a large number of Nine Sun Bamboo trees are planted around it.
The fire attribute aura in the workshop has also been greatly improved.
Allows the mana of the monks in the workshop to be quickly restored, which also improves efficiency accordingly.
As the demand for third-level treasures increases, Zhou Ling feels that he has less and less time now.
I was also thinking about whether to hire another third-level weapon refiner.
But now the family already has a third-level formation mage, Deacon Luo.
Hiring another third-level weapon refiner will increase the cost a lot.
After all, the worship of a third-level weapon refiner is equivalent to the worship of ten second-level weapon refiners.
Considering that the current family background is not enough, it is still a bit heavy to bear the burden of two third-level worshipers at once.
Zhou Ling could only work hard on himself first and squeeze out more time to refine the third-level treasure.
Back in the yard, Wang Xin was chatting with brother and sister He Zijian.
The brothers and sister are not going back this year and plan to celebrate the New Year at Zhou's house.
After the Taoist temple had a holiday, they moved here.
Seeing Zhou Ling's arrival, the three of them also exchanged a few words.
He Zijian was also filled with emotion.
Now he is only on the third level of foundation building, and his cultivation has been far behind Zhou Ling.
But now he no longer asks for trouble in comparison with monsters like Zhou Ling.
The reason why I came to the Zhou family to celebrate the New Year this time is that they are all acquaintances from Lingxia Fairy City.
In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhou Ling about some sword training methods.
During this period, he also encountered a bottleneck in practicing swordsmanship.
And Zhou Ling is now a teacher in the inner courtyard of Jiutian Sword Academy, and is fully qualified to teach him.
Hearing He Zijian’s request, Zhou Ling asked them to come to the family’s small square.
