Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 8 Lu Qingshan's Weakness
As a result, when the "Seven Realms Discussion" version came out, the players suddenly realized that even compared with the NPCs of the same generation, they were just passers-by who were ruthlessly beaten by the NPCs in various ways.
Of course, among such a large number of players, there are always some with extraordinary talents.
In the previous life, there was a player who successfully joined the Dao Sect through the Seven Realms Discussion.
Although rare, they do exist.
The only exception is the Sword Sect.
Yes, in the Seven Realms Discussion, no sword-cultivating player can enter the Sword Sect.
Including Lu Qingshan, he also failed - he was eliminated in the second round of re-examination.
No one joins the Sword Sect. This is a regret in the hearts of all sword-cultivating players, and it is also a regret for Lu Qingshan.
As for the reason, it’s not that sword-cultivating players are inferior to players from other schools.
It all stems from the Sword Sect’s almost paranoid threshold for recruiting disciples.
To enter the Dao Sect is like ascending to heaven.
Then, entering the Sword Sect is harder than ascending to heaven.
Because, as the dominant sect in the Eastern Region and the holy land of sword practitioners in the world, the total number of people in the Sword Sect has never exceeded five thousand!
What is the concept?
An ordinary third or fourth rank sect would definitely have a total population of more than 5,000.
Among the Taoist sects, Taiqing Palace has the largest number of disciples. Even if we only count the core disciples, there are more than 5,000 people. If we include the outer disciples, sect management personnel, etc., the total number of people in Taiqing Palace will reach one million.
Although both are Taoist sects, the Sword Sect is able to dominate an area with only 5,000 people. This is truly a wonder in the world.
What you can't get is always the best, so the Sword Sect has become the white moonlight in the hearts of countless sword players.
Faced with the opportunity to start over, Lu Qingshan was not willing to play a supporting role again, and even more unwilling to pass by the Sword Sect without joining.
This is also the reason why he has been willing to be a casual cultivator until now.
If you want to join a sect, you must join the best sect.
If you join a second-rate sect, the secret techniques you can learn will all be second-rate skills. What's the point of learning them?
…
Bei Ming Zhen Zun asked: "Do you know why I called you here this time?"
Lu Qingshan was stunned, then shook his head.
"I am from Taiqing Palace." Bei Ming Zhenzun said softly.
A strange light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.
It is not surprising that a great cultivator of the Lianxu realm who is proficient in thunder magic is from the Southern Region and was born in the Taiqing Palace of the Taoist sect, which is famous for its thunder magic.
"According to the news from my sect, Daxia attaches great importance to this Seven Realms Discussion. It is unimaginable for ordinary people. In addition to the rewards given to individual cultivators on the surface, there are many invisible factors such as resource allocation hidden in it. If the people of Qingzhou Zhishou Tower can get a good ranking in the Seven Realms Discussion, it will be a great achievement for us."
"We value these things as much as we do." Bei Ming Zhen Zun said word by word, "The three of us have decided to select a young cultivator from our Qingzhou Zhishou Tower and devote resources to training him so that he can get a good ranking in the Seven Realms. But as you know, due to the special nature of our Zhishou Tower, most of the cultivators in the tower are old and mature, and there are few young cultivators."
"After careful consideration, I recommended you to the host!" Bei Ming Zhen Zun looked at Lu Qingshan's handsome face, his eyes full of admiration, "As far as I know, you seem to be only eighteen years old this year. An eighteen-year-old in the middle stage of the Golden Core is definitely a genius in the entire human race."
A year ago, Bei Ming Zhen Zun's evaluation of Lu Qingshan was only among the best.
But after Lu Qingshan advanced to the middle stage of Golden Core at an unimaginable speed, his evaluation of Lu Qingshan had already reached the highest level.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
He didn't expect that there would be such extra treatment.
However, this was exactly what he wanted, so he agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan agreed, Bei Ming Zhen Zun nodded slightly, "What the host means is that as long as you can rank among the top 10,000 in the Southern Region, it will be a great achievement. We can give you an extra three spirit crystals as a reward!"
The top ten thousand in the Southern Region is Qingzhou Zhishoulou’s requirement and expectation for Lu Qingshan.
"Three spirit crystals?" Lu Qingshan was shocked.
The three posters really spent a lot of money.
Even for the reward of the Seven Realms Discussion, one has to be in the top ten thousand in the overall ranking to receive one spirit crystal.
As for Bei Ming Zhen Zun, as long as he ranks among the top ten thousand in the Southern Territory, he will be rewarded with three spirit crystals.
"Yes, three spirit crystals." Bei Ming Zhen Zun nodded slightly and repeated it again, then sighed with some regret and said: "It's a pity that this Seventh Domain Discussion came too early. At the age of eighteen, he is in the middle stage of the Golden Core. In terms of talent alone, he is more than the top ten thousand in the Southern Domain."
In his eyes, in terms of cultivation aptitude alone, Lu Qingshan is definitely one of the top people in the seven realms.
It’s a pity that this is a discussion among the seven realms, and what is being compared is combat power and aptitude.
Lu Qingshan was silent.
This is also the problem that troubles him .
The advancement of the Seven Realms Discussion meant that he had nine years less time to prepare.
With the ability to quickly improve his cultivation brought by the attribute panel and the unparalleled sword talent bestowed by his natural sword species, he has almost no shortcomings in terms of talent.
But he has a major weakness.
——The practice time is too short.
He has only been practicing for three years, and his real age is less than nineteen years old.
The age limit for discussing the Dao in the Seven Realms is under fifty years old.
For ordinary monks, there is no such concept as time.
After all, in the world of cultivators, it is common to spend one or two years refining a magical weapon.
However, for a talented cultivator, especially in the early stages, it is absolutely necessary to look at him with new eyes after not seeing him for three days.
Take Lu Qingshan himself for example. He can now easily kill himself from a year ago.
Of course, his situation is rather extreme, and other talented monks probably cannot achieve this level.
But for talented cultivators, their combat power and cultivation will undergo earth-shaking changes every year, which is a real reality.
The gap between geniuses is not that big. You have only practiced for three years. How can you defeat a genius who has practiced for thirty years?
It's that simple.
"The strength of a cultivator is determined by his cultivation, spells, and artistic conception. Your cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core is far superior to most cultivators. At least it shouldn't be a problem for you to sweep across the younger generation of Qingzhou."
“However, there is still a huge gap between sweeping the younger generation of Qingzhou and being in the top ten thousand in the Southern Region. Next, we will try our best to allow you to improve your strength to another level within half a year.” Bei Ming Zhenzun explained.
This is the benefit of demonstrating your strength.
If you try to be low-key and hide your strength too much, you will not be able to attract other people's attention and will lose many potential opportunities to exchange advantages.
Therefore, in this regard, Lu Qingshan has never deliberately concealed anything.
However, even so, Bei Ming Zhenzun still underestimated him.
He only saw Lu Qingshan's cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he didn't know that Lu Qingshan had already mastered the upper-level killing sword intent and the embryonic form of the true meaning of the origin.
Moreover, in terms of magic, Lu Qingshan is proficient in two secret sword techniques.
Even though he had only practiced for three years, being among the top ten thousand in the Southern Territory was still a piece of cake for Lu Qingshan!
