Xiao Baiyu looked at Lu Ping with a smile and said, "This is the third time we have met?"
Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "More than that!"
Xiao Baiyu smiled, and said directly: "Although Xiao has already overestimated your growth enough, it seems that it is still far from enough. Your rise is just like the sect you belong to, which is beyond everyone's expectations. outside."
Lu Ping smiled and didn't speak, Xiao Baiyu didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Everyone has seen that the True Spirit Sect will rise in Beihai, but no one would have thought that the number of high-ranking monks of the True Spirit Sect will reach Such a terrifying number, if it weren’t for the lack of foundation of the True Spirit Sect, the short rise time, and the unreasonable distribution of the steps of each generation of Dharma Aspect monks, the number of Dharma Aspect monks in your school alone is enough to compete with the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, Tianxuanzong, and Tianxuan Sect. The Yuezong and other large and established sects are on a par."
This point Xiao Baiyu is very suitable for the reality of the True Spirit Sect. Now there are only three monks left in the first generation of the True Spirit Sect, but the number of monks in the second generation of Dharma Aspects has reached nine, and in the third generation, the monks of the True Spirit Sect appeared After a blowout, there are now more than fifteen monks who have reached the phase of Dharma, headed by Lu Tianping and Yin Tianchu, and this number is still growing.
And this is only the direct monks cultivated by the True Spirit Sect. If Xiang Lou, Lei Di, Qinghu and other outer elders are added, the scale of the True Spirit Sect's monks will be even larger. After the war, the tyrannical strength displayed by the True Spirit Sect will shock the entire cultivation world.
In fact, the True Spirit Sect has also realized this problem. The appearance of a large number of Dharma Aspect monks can certainly make the True Spirit Sect flourish for a while, but a large group of Dharma Aspect monks will inevitably occupy a large amount of cultivation resources of the sect, but the Beihai cultivation world is another one. This makes the already tight situation even more embarrassing until it affects the training of the younger generation.
The inheritance of the sect is always a long-term plan, such an unrestrained expansion of the sect's strength will inevitably lead to the lack of sufficient training resources for the disciples of the sect who are rising and falling behind each generation.
A sect with a truly profound background will control the number of Dharma monks within the sect very well. There may be many monks who are expected to advance to the Dharma phase, but they will always make them compete with each other, and then select more outstanding disciples to train them with all their strength.
In this way, although it is possible to reduce the number of Dharma monks that may appear in the sect, it can save a large amount of cultivation resources to train future generations, and at the same time, it can also reserve part of the cultivation resources for emergencies.
Of course, there may be some disciples who have their own experiences. After being quietly given up by the sect, they successfully advanced through their own efforts, so that they can gain a powerful combat power without paying too much from the sect. All sects are welcome.
Only in this way can a sect be able to carry out a good inheritance and replacement under the condition of limited supply of cultivation resources, and at the same time, when the sect is facing a crisis, it can cultivate a large number of Dharma monks in a short period of time to help the sect through the crisis. difficulties.
Now the fourth-generation monks of the True Spirit Sect have gradually grown up, and the more outstanding ones have begun to enter the threshold of the late forging alchemy stage.
Although the fourth generation of monks can't compare with the third generation with so many amazing monks, there are also many disciples who are favored by the sect.
However, Lu Ping has already received news from the head master that the sect is only planning to select fifteen to twenty of the best monks among the fourth-generation disciples to establish them as direct disciples so that they can compete with each other and lay a solid foundation, and then select out of them to stand out The ten to twelve disciples in the school are fully cultivating and helping them to condense their Dharma images.
It can be said that the head of the sect, Liu Tianling, has a very precise grasp of the True Spirit Sect. She did not aim too high because of the expansion of the sect's strength, especially the blowout of the third generation of disciples, Faxiang monks. The number of dharma appearances, the whole planning process is expected to take 50 to 100 years, and the fourth-generation disciples of the True Spirit Sect will start the beginning of the advanced dharma appearance period.
Lu Ping smiled and said: "Thank you for your advice, senior, but this time senior Xiao came to see this junior, but he just wanted to talk about some plans for the development of the sect?"
Xiao Baiyu smiled and said: "Of course not. Xiao said this because he felt that your sect is an ambitious sect. It should not only focus on a corner of Beihai, but should focus on the entire cultivation world."
Lu Ping was not overwhelmed by Xiao Baiyu's words, but said more calmly: "Ideals cannot be divorced from reality. It is already difficult for the True Spirit Sect to maintain its position in Beihai. I am afraid that things outside Beihai are mostly Too much heart but not enough strength.”
The color of admiration in Xiao Baiyu's eyes became stronger, and he said: "This is because the noble sect has underestimated itself. With the current strength of the noble sect, there is a lot to do in the cultivation world, and as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The true spirit sect If you want to be safe and secure in Beihai, you need others to agree to it."
Lu Ping's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Baiyu had expected that Lu Ping would ask such a question, and immediately replied: "Two meanings: the first is from the True Spirit Sect itself; the second is from Xiaoyou himself."
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details!"
Xiao Baiyu talked eloquently: "Let's talk about your faction first. Xiao has also heard about what happened after the treasure ship of your faction went west this time. Although the process was dangerous, in fact, all of your faction and little friend Lu are well prepared. Zong, Xuanling Sect, and Taixuanzong are all just clowns, they can't make a difference, even if the Beihai group is going to come out in full force, the final result is nothing but a near miss."
Lu Ping couldn't help but said, "What exactly do you want to say, senior?"
"Don't your faction think everything is too easy?"
"easy?"
Lu Ping was thoughtful, and said: "Senior refers to..."
Xiao Baiyu smiled and said: "That's right, it's the Crystal Palace! If the Crystal Palace intervenes this time, let alone whether your faction can succeed, what a heavy price will be paid if it succeeds?"
Lu Ping was a little unconvinced, and said: "The reason why our faction set sail for the treasure ship at this time is probably because the Crystal Palace will have no time for him this time."
"Of course it's because Crystal Palace has no time to take care of him, but what about when Crystal Palace withdraws its hand?"
Lu Pingdao: "You mean that the Crystal Palace will return to Beihai?"
Xiao Baiyu took it for granted: "Unless the Crystal Palace can get out of the way, otherwise, with the nature of the Crystal Palace, they will think that the entire overseas cultivation world belongs to it."
Seeing that Lu Ping was silent, Xiao Baiyu continued: "There are still nine large sects in the overseas cultivation world besides the Crystal Palace. I don't know if you have ever noticed that except Fenglei Island and Zifu Pavilion, which are vassals of the Crystal Palace, the remaining seven Among the large sects, only the Zhenling Sect is a local sect in the overseas cultivation world."
Lu Ping was taken aback for a moment, and then Xiao Baiyu continued to say: "Whether it is the Four Great Sects of the South China Sea, or the Sky Splitting Sword Sect of the East China Sea, Xiaoyao Pavilion, if you trace their origins, they can't get along in the middle of the earth, and they were driven to Overseas rebuilt sects, while the local sects in the overseas practice world, Feiling Island, were destroyed four thousand years ago. You have witnessed the disintegration of the Northern League, and there is not even a large local sect in the South China Sea. The largest local sect in the South China Sea, the Yulin School has already reached the qualifications to be promoted to a large sect but has never built a treasure ship until it hooked up with someone from the Yuwen family and wanted to be promoted to the rank of the sect, but unexpectedly caught up with the four major sects in the South China Sea With the Chongtian Pavilion, the Tyrannosaurus Clan intervened in the middle, and the Ocean of Storms leading from the South China Sea to the Middle Earth was completely blocked, so the promotion of the Yulin Sect's sect was naturally impossible."
"Although the True Spirit Sect has successfully promoted to a large sect, in fact the crisis of your Sect may have just begun."
After Xiao Baiyu finished speaking, Lu Ping remained silent at the side, but the affection on his face was changing rapidly, obviously at this time Lu Ping was digesting Xiao Baiyu's previous words in his mind.
There may be exaggeration in Xiao Baiyu's words, especially the demise of the Northern Alliance and the Flying Spirit Sect. Perhaps it was not the Crystal Palace's cleansing of overseas local sects. Judging from the information Lu Ping has, it is especially the fall of the Flying Spirit Sect. , I am afraid that there is another hidden story, but it is true that the Crystal Palace is the main driving force behind the demise of these sects. From this point of view, what Xiao Baiyu said is true, and from Xiao Baiyu's actions, I am afraid that the Sky Splitting Sword Sect has also felt the pressure exerted by the Crystal Palace, so they will spare no effort to try to unite with overseas sects and coastal sects to resist the Crystal Palace.
After a long time, Lu Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Senior still has a reason why I didn't tell this junior about himself."
Xiao Baiyu laughed dumbly, and said: "You and I are well-deserved outstanding monks of our generation. Even when Xiao was like you back then, he might not have achieved your achievements. Even Xiao would have to go into exile for two hundred years. You think Crystal Palace will let you go?"
"One Xiao Baiyu to the Cracking Heaven Sword Sect can make such a big commotion, if another Lu Tianping comes out to the True Spirit Sect,... Hehe, what kind of chaos will the overseas cultivation world be like? The danger will always be stifled in the bud."
Lu Ping smiled slightly, and said: "So, instead of waiting for the opponent to come and kill you, why don't you take the initiative?"
Xiao Baiyu laughed immediately, he knew that Lu Ping might have agreed with his actions.
The two changed the subject at the same time. Lu Ping originally wanted to ask him about the sword fight in Ziyang Palace, but Xiao Baiyu didn't take it seriously. On the banks of the Qingming River, although Xiao once invited Lu Xiaoyou and was rejected once, but this time Xiao still wants to invite Xiaoyou to join us again. Back then, Xiaoyou's cultivation was not good, but now he is very qualified to sit on an equal footing with us. So I hope you can seriously consider it.”
This time, Lu Ping did not immediately refuse as before, but looked at Xiao Baiyu seriously and asked, "What are you planning?"
