The selection rules and all procedures of the Sword Competition were formulated by Fenglian Xiaozu at the beginning of the establishment of Tianjianmen thousands of years ago.
Tianjianmen is undoubtedly a sect of swordsmanship, but as a sect that can gain a foothold in the world of comprehension, it must have all the internal organs. The swordsmanship of Lianjiange focuses on attacking, while defending swords focuses on defense, Xiujiange is better at formations, and medicine pavilion weakens swordsmanship, and focuses on refining alchemy and mechanisms. In the early years, there were often battles between the sects of self-cultivation, and the demon realm and the ghost realm often invaded. If you want to defend the sect and defend against foreign enemies, it is not advisable to rely on a strong attack. You must have both offense and defense, and each has its own division of labor. Therefore, in the early years, the four pavilions were of equal status.
However, nowadays, the spiritual energy of the Cultivation Continent has increased, and the Demon Realm and Ghost Realm dare not easily invade. Various sects argue with each other, and the wars are reduced. Therefore, Tianjianmen pays more and more attention to personal cultivation, and Xiujian Pavilion and Medicine Pavilion are gradually declining.
Especially after Master Yuying took over as the head of the sect, as a sword idiot, he believed that the strength of the sword was the foundation, and he even ignored the Xiujian Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion. Things just keep popping up.
Xiao Kui suffered a big loss in Yi Xichen's hands not long ago, and immediately stood up to confront him: "Yi Xichen, don't talk about Xiaozu!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp gaze made him shiver. - The person staring at him is none other than Qiu Jian, the elder of the Sword Refinement Pavilion. He was naturally angry when he heard that his disciple dared to speak disrespect to Xiaozu.
Xiao Kui shrank his neck, and hurriedly said something to remedy: "Xiaozu is naturally wise, but the world today is not the world of the past. The world is changing, and the Medicine Pavilion and Xiujian Pavilion have long lost their glory. Adapting to current events is the foundation of the sect. the foundation."
Yi Xichen calmly said, "Senior Brother Xiao means that our disciples in the sword pavilion and medicine pavilion are not as good as they used to be?"
"Of course it's not as good! Back then, the Seven-Star Formation of Xiujian Pavilion was able to trap the Demon God Zhu Jiuyin. Back then, Medicine Pavilion was able to refine the Demon God's Dan Yuan, what about now?"
Xiao Kui's remarks are not out of nothing. Now Xiujian Pavilion and Medicine Pavilion are indeed declining, but this is not the fault of the two pavilions. Due to the lack of attention from the sect master, the disciples with high qualifications were snatched away by the Lianjiange and Shoujiange, and the remaining disciples were originally inferior to others. Furthermore, at the beginning, the best swords in Tianjianmen were given to Xiujiange, the most spiritual disciple of Medicine Pavilion, but now, there are fewer and fewer cases between Xiujiange and Medicine Pavilion, and it is inevitable that they will decline.
Yi Xichen sneered back: "Then Huaya, who was in the Sword Refinement Pavilion at that time, was able to fight against the Black Demon with one person. Can Senior Brother Xiao have this strength? Is the Sword Refinement Pavilion not as good as it used to be?"
"You!" Xiao Kui stared in anger.
Huaya Zhenren is now a powerful person. He is the same as the eldest grandson Zijun. Looking at the thousand-year history of Tianjianmen, Huaya Zhenren's strength is probably only second to Fenglian Xiaozu. Not to mention Xiao Kui, even Lu Ziyao, even the real head Yuying, is far inferior to the real Huaya, and it is ridiculous and generous to dare to compare with him. But Xiao Kui's example is also extreme, so Yi Xichen's words really make sense.
The eldest grandson Zijun: "Hehe."
This kind of sarcasm made Xiao Kui's head heat up, and his tongue began to knot again for a while. He was speechless in a hurry, and Wang Qingqiao and others hurriedly pulled him back.
Gongsun Di, the eldest disciple of Shoujiange, said: "In the past thousand years, a lot of things have happened in the world of self-cultivation, and there have been many changes in my Tianjianmen. I believe Junior Brother Yi will not deny it. The rules of the Sword Competition were indeed set by the little ancestor back then. Yes, but at the beginning, the sword competition was just a trial for the disciples, and there were not many immortal materials as rewards. Now, the disciples who won the sword competition represent the strength of my Tianjianmen, and I will participate in the world in the future. Only the top five disciples at the Sword Competition are eligible to participate in the conference and the Demon Fighting Battle. Since the rules have changed, why can't they be changed in a more reasonable direction?"
Immortal Yuying nodded, expressing her approval of what he said.
In fact, Tianjianmen did not expressly stipulate what should be done to the winner of the sword competition. However, after thousands of years, many things have become unwritten rules. In Tianjianmen, the Bijian Conference is the largest internal selection, then the Bijian Conference selects the strong, and only the strong can get more opportunities, which is also the principle of heaven.
Zhao Xiang, a disciple of Lianjian Pavilion, said: "Master, looking at the previous year's sword competition, the top five have been swept up by the disciples of Lianjian Pavilion and Shoujian Pavilion, and in the past 100 years, the disciples of Medicine Pavilion have never won the first place. 10. This is enough to show that there are drawbacks in the early selection of the Sword Competition."
In fact, Zhao Xiang is the one who is more anxious than Xiao Kui and Gongsun Di. He ranked seventh in the Sword Refinement Pavilion. He was not on the list of twenty people. If the rules were not changed, he would not even be eligible to enter the Sword Competition. But he is confident that he can be ranked in the top 20 disciples of the whole mountain without a problem.
Sun Xiaoqian of Medicine Pavilion was so anxious that he was about to cry again.
If the 20 contestants are really selected by strength, I am afraid that only Tian Linggen's eldest grandson Zijun can occupy a place for the Medicine Pavilion, and the other places will be robbed by the Lianjiange and Shoujiange. The disciples of the medicine pavilion participated in the conference, and they did not want to stand out in the cultivation world, but the rewards of those spirit stones and immortal materials, if they missed it, it would be difficult to obtain them in the future.
Yi Xichen said: "Brother Zhao means that our Medicine Pavilion and Xiujian Pavilion are not as powerful as Lianjian Pavilion and Shoujian Pavilion?"
Zhao Xiang sneered: "Isn't this obvious?"
Xiao Kui's anger was much smoother now, and he began to jump again: "Don't Junior Brother Yi think that's the case? Your medicine pavilion can even choose a pseudo-spiritual root into the top five. We have a pseudo-sect in the top 20 of Tianjianmen. Linggen, it's a joke!"
This is simply heart-wrenching. The lack of talent has always been a pain in Yi Xichen's heart, and he couldn't help frowning at this time.
Seeing that his disciple was being bullied, Yaobudu jumped like thunder: "Xiao Kui! What are you? My chosen disciple, it's your turn to tell me what to do! Should I give up the position of the elder of the Yaoge Pavilion? is you!"
After all, Xiao Kui didn't dare to confront the elders of the first pavilion, so he could only embarrassedly said: "Disciple dare not."
Yi Xichen said: "Dare to ask the brothers, which one is weaker than the disciples of Xiujiange and Yaoge?"
In fact, if it were left as usual, the disciples of Xiujian Pavilion would be looked down upon by the other two pavilions, and at the same time they also looked down on Medicine Pavilion. But now they are forced to stand on the same front as Medicine Pavilion, because they are really selected according to their strength, not only the number of places in Medicine Pavilion will be greatly damaged, but the number of places in Xiujian Pavilion will also be greatly reduced.
"Of course it's the Medicine Pavilion!"
"So, which is stronger between Jianjian Pavilion and Shoujian Pavilion?"
Now Lianjian Pavilion and Shoujian Pavilion are on the same front, and more than a dozen disciples look at each other and do not speak, for fear of being caught in his alienation scheme.
Yi Xichen then said to himself: "It should be the Lianjian Pavilion that is slightly better, what do you think?"
The disciples of the Lianjian Pavilion agreed, and the disciples of the Shoujian Pavilion did not dare to refute it.
"Okay." Yi Xichen said, "Right now, you brothers have objections to the rules of the Sword Contest, that is, you think that the weak will occupy the magpie's nest, so let us send someone from the Medicine Pavilion and your Sword Refinement Pavilion to have a test to see who is stronger. Who is weaker? Can you guys still approve of such a method?"
Xiao Kui hurriedly said, "Wouldn't it be unfair if you sent your eldest grandson Zijun!"
The eldest grandson Zijun sneered: "Am I not a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion?"
Although Gongsun Di didn't know how powerful the eldest grandson Zijun was, but the fact that the eldest grandson was born in the sky was in front of him, and he also thought it was inappropriate: "Junior brother eldest grandson does not represent the strength of Yaoge."
"I won't send the eldest grandson Zijun." Yi Xichen said, "Now it's not the strongest, but the weaker than the weak. Then send the fifth-ranked disciple of your Sword Refinement Pavilion and the fifth-ranked disciple of our Medicine Pavilion. , If we win, it means that the brothers think that the medicine pavilion is not as good as the sword pavilion.
Qiu Jian, the elder of Lianjian Pavilion, said, "It's possible."
The elder of Shoujiange, Lin Zhenyi, responded quickly: "Xichen's words are indeed feasible. If we continue to hold on to it, it will inevitably delay the schedule of the sword competition. Why don't you just do as he said."
Not to mention the fifth to fifth, that is, the fifth to tenth, they also have a plan. This suggestion made by Yi Xichen is simply to make profit for Jianjian Pavilion and Shoujian Pavilion.
The elder Wan Jin of Xiujian Pavilion was worried and stared at Yi Xichen anxiously. Even if the medicine is not poisonous, he is holding on to his goatee, not knowing what medicine is sold in the gourd of his beloved disciple.
"Senior Brother Xiao also said just now that all of my pseudo-spiritual roots have been selected into the top five of the Medicine Pavilion. It can be seen that my talent is low, and the fifth of the Medicine Pavilion is me. Which senior brother of the Lianjian Pavilion will compete with me?"
In fact, although Yi Xichen is not very talented, he is diligent in practice and ranks second only to the eldest grandson Zijun in the Medicine Pavilion. It's just because they haven't played against each other before, other than the medicine pavilion disciples, they don't know about it, so they won't question it.
Since it has already been said that there will be a test, although Xiao Kui is eager to go out and show Yi Xichen some color in person, the dignity of Jianjian Pavilion is also there, and it will not bully people with the stronger than the weak. Qiu Jiandao: "My fifth-ranked disciple in the Sword Refinement Pavilion is Wang Qingqiao."
Wang Qingqiao immediately came out, and Qi Yu held his sword proudly: "It's up to me to learn Junior Brother Yi's brilliant tricks."
Yi Xichen didn't rush: "No rush, let's talk about the rules first. If I lose, the rules of the sword competition can be discussed again. What if I win?"
Wang Qingqiao did not dare to be the master, and turned his attention to the elders.
The real person Yuying said strangely: "If you win, the conference will be held as usual."
"It's not fair." Yi Xichen said, "The conference should have been held as usual, but these senior brothers made trouble, and then the trouble happened again. If I win, it means that our Medicine Pavilion disciples are not inferior to the other senior brothers. I hope The head can also consider at his discretion whether the divisions assigned to us on weekdays should be revised."
When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
