Chapter 183 Selecting a Spiritual Weapon
"You three should stand aside first." The white-faced monk looked at Xiao Lin and the two people beside him and said lightly.
Xiao Lin and the man and woman beside him were the top three of this "Five Prisons Illusion" trial. The man looked to be 23 or 24 years old, with a rough appearance, and what surprised Xiao Lin even more was that he actually had long green hair, which was extremely eye-catching.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, this person must have practiced some special skills to have such a strange appearance.
The woman was charming, with delicate features, fair and shiny skin, and looked to be 22 or 23 years old. Her black hair was casually tied behind her head, adding a bit of pure breath.
A silver hairpin was inserted diagonally on the top of her head, still flashing a faint silver light.
The green-haired man looked at Xiao Lin coldly, his eyes full of provocation, which made Xiao Lin speechless, but after thinking about it, Xiao Lin also understood that this person was dissatisfied with his first place.
Xiao Lin smiled faintly but did not even look at the green-haired man, standing quietly by the side.
The woman looked at Xiao Lin with a curious expression, and then looked at the green-haired man, with a playful look in her eyes.
The White-faced Golden Pill Ancestor looked at the seven people in front of him, pondered for a while, and then waved his hand gently. A star ring on his wrist flashed with a faint green light, and seven magic weapons with various colors of spiritual light suddenly appeared on the red sandalwood table. The seven people happened to be standing in front of the red sandalwood table, and each of them had one in front of them.
"These seven magic weapons are the rewards for your trial this time. As for the foundation-building pill, you can go to the Treasure Hall to collect it yourself."
Hearing this, the seven people collected the magic weapons in front of them with joy. These seven magic weapons included knives and swords, which were all top-grade attack magic weapons. However, being able to get a top-grade magic weapon was enough to make the outer disciples in the Qi Refining Period extremely excited.
After all, the conditions for refining top-grade magic tools are very harsh. The materials from mutant monsters alone make top-grade magic tools extremely rare.
Since Xiao Lin started practicing, he has killed quite a few monsters, but he only has the top-grade magic tool, the Seven Blades Slash. However, Xiao Lin also has a set of teeth and claws of the Demon Fang Black Bat King in his bag. The Demon Fang Black Bat King is also a mutant monster, but Xiao Lin has not yet refined it into a top-grade magic tool.
After the seven people received the top-grade magic tools, the white-faced monk waved his hand and signaled the seven people to leave.
After the seven people left, the white-faced Jindan monk looked at Xiao Lin and the other two, and a hint of warmth rose on his expressionless face.
"Come here, the three of you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin and the other two came to the red sandalwood with respectful faces, and bowed to the white-faced Jindan monk together.
"You can pass the first three prisons of the Five Prisons Illusion, and you can also get the top three results. I think you three are very determined to pursue the Tao, and your minds are also very sensitive. In the cultivation of Taoism, aptitude is important, but it is not the only condition. A firm mind, strong perseverance, and keen insight are indispensable, and you three are undoubtedly outstanding in these aspects."
"I once said that anyone who gets the top three in this Five Prisons Illusion Trial can become my disciple. Are you three willing?"
"Disciple is willing. Disciple greets Master." Xiao Lin and the other two heard the words, and their faces showed surprise, and they bowed.
"Okay, get up. It's not easy to join my sect. I, Su Qingyun, have been practicing Taoism for three hundred years, and I have only seven disciples. The three of you are exactly the number of my two palms. However, you are not my real disciples. Now you are just my registered disciples. After building your foundation, you can come to Qingning Hall on the back mountain of Qingdan Peak by yourself. Then you can pay homage to me and officially join my sect."
After saying that, Su Qingyun waved his sleeves, and three spiritual tools with hazy spiritual light appeared on the red sandalwood table.
A small sword with dark green light, a palm-sized round mirror with hazy green light, and an inch-long jade ruler with faint green light.
"These three spiritual tools have been with me for many years, but with my current cultivation, I naturally don't need them. I will give them to you three. Choose first according to the order of ranking." Su Qingyun glanced at the three people and said softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin immediately stepped forward, placed the prison order in his hand on the red sandalwood table, and then looked at the three spiritual weapons with a hesitant expression on his face.
These three spiritual weapons are all primary spiritual weapons, and there is no difference in grade, which made Xiao Lin not know how to choose.
After a little thought, he gently reached out and took the small sword flashing with dark green light in his hand.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, he already has the spiritual blank of the Spirit Hidden Shield. As long as he can kill a true-level monster in the future and take its spirit and inject it into it, it will be a genuine primary spiritual weapon. Although the Three Yuan Magic Flag is a high-level spiritual weapon, its function is to increase the power of his spells.
So what Xiao Lin still lacks is an offensive spiritual weapon. This dark green small sword is undoubtedly this kind of spiritual weapon. As for the round mirror and jade ruler, judging from its flashing spiritual light, the function of the round mirror should be similar to his own Three Yuan Magic Flag, and the jade ruler is a defensive spiritual weapon.
After Xiao Lin selected the spiritual weapon, the green-haired man walked over impatiently and selected the jade ruler magic weapon. Obviously, he also guessed that this spiritual weapon was a defensive spiritual weapon. Regardless of whether it was a spiritual weapon or a magic weapon, the defensive one was usually more precious and rarer.
After the green-haired man selected the jade ruler magic weapon, the woman looked at the green-haired man with a little dissatisfaction, walked forward, and took the round mirror in her hand.
Obviously, the woman also liked the jade ruler spiritual weapon, but it was picked up by the green-haired man first.
"You step aside first." After the three people selected the spiritual weapons, the many outer disciples of the Qi Refining Stage below all showed envious expressions.
If you want to obtain a spiritual weapon in Dancao Mountain by contributing to the sect, you may not be able to get it in your lifetime. Even for Changqing Zhenren and more than a dozen outer sect elders of the sect, they all showed envy when they saw the three spiritual weapons.
However, they dared not set their sights on these three people. These three spiritual weapons were all Su Qingyun's personal belongings. Once someone killed one of the three and obtained the spiritual weapon, as long as he used it, it would be like telling Su Qingyun that your disciple died in my hands.
The outcome of this situation can be imagined. Even if the three were only Su Qingyun's registered disciples, they could not be bullied.
One of the dozen or so outer sect elders had an ugly face, and when Xiao Lin walked up the steps, he recognized Xiao Lin at a glance. It was the man who he had forced to hand over the foundation-building pill with both soft and hard methods, but was finally rejected by the other party.
For this reason, Elder Lan Xin was extremely angry and had issued a wanted order for Xiao Lin within the family. Any disciple in the family who could kill Xiao Lin outside would get a generous reward, but he never dreamed that this unknown little character would make a big splash in the Five Prisons Illusion Trial.
Not only did he enter the top ten, but he also became Su Qingyun's registered disciple. This made him angry and secretly regretful.
However, in Lan Xin's view, although Xiao Lin became Su Qingyun's registered disciple, he might not be able to successfully build his foundation and thus be promoted to a true disciple. Moreover, with the power of the Lan family in Dancao Mountain, Xiao Lin, who was born as a casual cultivator, was not enough to pose a threat to their Lan family.
After all, it was good enough that the Lan family did not cause trouble for him.
Xiao Lin naturally saw Lan Xin's figure among the dozen or so outer sect elders, but Xiao Lin never looked at him from beginning to end, as if he didn't know him at all.
Su Qingyun stood up and looked at the many outer sect disciples in the Qi Refining period on the square.
"The reason why I came here is to announce something. From today on, the annual foundation-building pill will be issued only based on whether or not the five prison illusion trials have been passed. The previous rule of relying on the selection of the elders of the sect to obtain the foundation-building pill will be cancelled."
Su Qingyun's voice was not loud, but it was heard very clearly by everyone.
There was a burst of cheers from below.
Even many outer disciples over 40 or 50 years old had red eyes. They were all victims of the original system. They had waited for decades but still did not get the foundation-building pill, thus missing the best time to build the foundation.
A dozen outer elders also showed embarrassment on their faces. Su Qingyun's words were more like calling their names directly than speaking to many outer disciples.
However, even though they were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
In front of the Golden Pill Ancestor, although they were the outer elders of Dancao Mountain, they did not dare to be disrespectful. After all, the world of cultivation still adheres to the rule that the strong are respected.
After a cup of tea, the noise of the crowd below gradually subsided, and Su Qingyun continued: "Although the old man Tianyi is still in seclusion, what I said is in accordance with his decree, so no one can violate it. Now that the old man's decree has been passed on, I should go back and report."
After speaking, Su Qingyun turned and looked at Xiao Lin and the other two: "You three must practice well and don't be lazy."
"Disciple obeys." Xiao Lin and the other two hurriedly bowed and agreed.
Nodding, Su Qingyun's body appeared with a hazy light green spiritual light, and at the same time a chill spread.
The spiritual light became more and more dense and finally directly wrapped Su Qingyun's whole body in it, but when the spiritual light became extremely dense, it suddenly exploded, and the place where Su Qingyun was originally standing was empty.
"Uncle Su's Lingxuan Water Escape is becoming more and more amazing."
After Su Qingyun left, Changqing Zhenren gave a speech of encouragement to many outer disciples before letting them go.
"Humph, I didn't expect that the first place in the Five Hells Illusion Trial would be unknown. It's probably just luck, right?" Xiao Lin was about to leave when he heard a sarcastic remark from the side.
Xiao Lin's face couldn't help but darken a bit. He didn't need to turn around to know that it was the green-haired man who made the sarcastic remark.
Xiao Lin took a deep look at the green-haired man, but didn't refute him. Xiao Lin didn't take such angry words to heart. After all, he couldn't fight him in this sect.
"Wang Xiangchen, you didn't get the first place, so you feel jealous, right?" Although Xiao Lin didn't refute, the beautiful woman beside him smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.
"Wenmei, in terms of strength, you are almost certain to be in the top ten among the outer disciples. Although you got the third place, it is still acceptable. However, I, Wang Xiangchen, am known as the number one outer disciple. It is a bit embarrassing to lose to an unknown casual cultivator."
"Oh, can you still question his ranking? Maybe he is very talented. I advise you not to humiliate yourself."
