Esteem Truth Temple's Nascent Soul Ceremony

Since Xiao Chen was delayed for some time on the road, it was already noon the next day.

There is only one day left until Nascent Soul Ceremony starts.

At this time, a large number of monks have also gathered on Red Flower Island.

A large part of them came from Listening Wave Island, and more monks are on their way.

Judging from the results, Esteem Truth Temple's plan to attract popularity is very successful.

In order to better guide the casual cultivators who came to participate in the ceremony, many disciples wearing uniform Magic Robe worked in pairs.

Scattered at different intersections, hand out simple picture albums with the Nascent Soul Ceremony process written on them.

Xiao Chen took the album and read it roughly.

It turns out that the entire Red Flower Island has now been simply divided into three parts.

They are Core Area where the ceremony was officially held, the banquet area specially built next to it, and the peripheral trading area.

Core Area is not open to the public, only monks with invitation letters can enter.

Running tables have been prepared in the banquet area, and everyone can come and dine for free during a specific time period.

In addition, the rest of the island is considered a trading area, and everyone can move around freely.

"This division method is really crude."

Xiao Chen seems a little surprising at first, but after thinking about it, Esteem Truth Temple is a new force after all, and there is not much time to prepare.

It's actually good to do this, it's simple and clear.

Anyway, most monks come here for True Monarch Preaching and don't particularly care about the surrounding environment.

Even for casual cultivators, there are no expensive shops or inns here. They can find a place to rest or set up street stalls to trade on their own, which will be more comfortable.

As for the other major forces, they will naturally be hosted by Core Area.

"Just in time, I'll go check out those street stalls too."

Xiao Chen was thinking about Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf, so he did not go to practice, but wandered around the outer area of the island.

He soon discovered that although Esteem Truth Temple did not clearly specify the area for setting up stalls.

However, most of the vendors spontaneously concentrated in a basin on the east side of the island, and few people set up stalls in other places.

So most of the casual cultivators also concentrated in the basin, carefully selecting and bargaining.

Some vendors even chose to stay outside at first, but later took the initiative to come over with their spiritual objects.

As soon as we walked into the basin, Xiao Chen heard all kinds of enthusiastic greetings.

"Top Five Lights Profound Water, sold at a cheap price!"

"The best Ice Spirit Pearl is being sold at a loss, only 10,000 Spirit Stone is needed."

"Take a look, take a look, here are all high-quality products Mind-Boosting Pill, take a bottle back to the younger generation at home."

"Don't miss it if you pass by! Top-Grade Magical Artifact is on sale at half price, 80% new Flowing Cloud Sword, only 5,000 Spirit Stone!"

Oh?

When he heard about the discount, Xiao Chen glanced at it with interest.

It turned out that what the other party was selling was actually the real thing!

With his eyesight, he could tell that the Top-Grade Magical Artifact on the stall was of exquisite workmanship and of genuine quality Higher Vehicle.

I can't say that Southern Domain and Top-Grade Magical Artifact were very scarce, but they were generally not easy to sell and almost had to rely on auctions.

Nowadays, it is displayed on the street stalls like Chinese cabbage.

There are different types to choose from, and the price is actually half the price.

Although Xiao Chen can also see that they are all second-hand old Law Artifact, he still feels a little emotional.

If it were still Southern Domain, a second-hand Flowing Cloud Sword of such quality would still dare to sell for 10,000 Spirit Stone, and there would be no worries about not being able to sell it.

Unfortunately, today is different from the past.

Today's Xiao Chen, let alone Top-Grade Magical Artifact, cannot catch his eye even the ordinary Spirit Artifact.

Speaking of Spirit Artifact, he suddenly thought that he might start preparing a new Spirit Artifact.

Previously, I was limited by Total True Essence, and the few Spirit Artifact I already had on me couldn't be used.

But now as he continues to make breakthroughs in cultivation, he can finally start to consider adding Spirit Artifact to himself again.

"Purple Flower Twisted Leaf, Fine Flower Twisted Leaf, Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf..."

Huh?

Xiao Chen was thinking about Spirit Artifact, when suddenly his ears moved and he captured the key information.

Looking up and to the right, I saw a dealer selling different Spirit Herb, among which he happened to have the Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf I needed.

He immediately stepped forward. "Give me a pound of Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf, how many Spirit Stone?"

The hawker saw the customers coming, but did not directly quote the price.

Instead, he smiled and explained, "Senior, we sell the leaves by portions, so a portion costs one thousand Spirit Stone."

Huh?

Xiao Chen Looking carefully, there are bundles of twisted leaves tied in advance on the red cloth at your feet.

Each bundle contains three different twist leaves, which are sold together.

Oh my god, there is even a bundled sale?

Divine Sense scanned and Xiao Chen found that there were only one or two Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf in each bundle.

It takes almost a kilogram to arrange Infant Nurturing Altar, which means you need to buy ten bundles.

Of course, 10,000 Spirit Stone is not too much, he can definitely afford it.

The question is why is this happening?

Xiao Chen pretended to be dissatisfied and asked about the situation, "We used to sell them individually. Do you think I don't understand the market?"

The hawker quickly explained, "Oh, how dare I deceive my senior."

"Seniors don't know. They were sold individually before, but since the beginning of last year, there has been a shortage of Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf on the market."

"Until now, they are sold in bundles in stores of all sizes."

"I heard someone say before that many places in the west are even out of stock."

It seems that there is something wrong, but this vendor should know very little.

Xiao Chen did not deliberately embarrass him, and directly bought ten bundles of 10,000 Spirit Stone to solve the last auxiliary material.

In this way, he only has the last piece of Nine Aperture Lucid Jade left, and he can gather all the spiritual materials to arrange Infant Nurturing Altar.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen feels very good.

I decided to give myself a day off, browse the different street stalls, and buy some delicious food to reward myself.

It's not a problem to be busy practicing all the time. Now that everything is out, let's relax.

As time goes by, new vendors continue to arrive.

Even at night, various Spirit Fire or Dharma lamps are lit up in the basin.

The next day.

After shopping around all night, Xiao Chen headed to the banquet area, ready to observe the latest situation.

The back of the previous simple picture book also included the process arrangement of Nascent Soul Ceremony.

On the first day of the ceremony, Esteem Truth Temple will first entertain guests with invitation letters at Core Area.

The conversation with True Monarch Preaching will not officially begin until the conversation with Core Area is over.

However, as for the specific time, Esteem Truth Temple deliberately did not explain it, whetting everyone's appetite.

However, they are quite generous when it comes to food.

All kinds of Second-Order Spirit Meat, Spirit Wine, Spirit Tea are available in unlimited quantities.

In addition, every monk who comes to the banquet area can receive a small Third-Order Spirit Fruit individually.

.

While Xiao Chen was tasting different dishes one by one.

In the newly built palace of Core Area, digital Nascent Soul True Lord gathered together.

Esteem Truth Temple The newly promoted Purple Sun True Monarch is wearing a bright red ceremonial robe and sitting on the center seat.

On both sides were Compassion Sea representatives of almost all Daoist Sect forces, basically the ones who had just participated in the auction.

Even Illuminating Void Sect sent Mirror Reflection True Monarch here.

Only neutral parties such as Jade Leaf Commerce Association and Spirit Communication Pavilion are excluded.

Although from the bottom of my heart, Five Great Sects and Illuminating Void Sect had some difficulty dealing with each other before.

Faced with the new arrival, Esteem Truth Temple who wants to occupy Southern Marsh Sea is not very favorable either.

But everyone still sat together politely, showing no signs of alienation or exclusion on the surface.

In Eastern Domain, Nascent Soul True Lord generally will not easily fight with monks of the same level, and try not to make grudges.

The reason is actually the same as Southern Domain's Golden Core True Person rarely fights with each other.

Everyone has finally cultivated to the level of Nascent Soul, and is now considered a decent person in Eastern Domain.

The journey along the way is not easy for anyone, and there is no need to resort to fighting and killing to solve problems.

What if there was an accidental death and hundreds of years of practice were ruined?

Therefore, even though he did not want to see anyone competing for resources, Five Great Sects still chose to contact him first.

Nascent Soul Ceremony came to join Purple Sun True Monarch to support him.

But the person speaking on behalf of Esteem Truth Temple right now is not Purple Sun True Monarch.

But Crane Cry True Monarch, who was sitting next to his left hand. "What do you fellow Daoists think of the proposal I just made?"

He just introduced Ancient Times, the rules for setting up a new sect and welcoming guests from all over the world.

The specific approach is to set up Eight Great Arenas.

The various forces present here have presented different spiritual objects as rewards for different arenas, and announced them in advance.

Initially, Arena King was assumed by Esteem Truth Temple Disciple, responsible for guarding the ring.

Eight Great Arenas is free to challenge, and you can go on stage to fight for any reward you like.

In this way, we can prove that our own magic technique Divine Ability is not weaker than others.

If the challenger wins, it becomes the new Arena King.

After three days, whoever defends the arena will receive corresponding rewards.

"I think Crane Daoist Friend is a great idea!"

Mirror Reflection True Monarch immediately agreed.

But the other True Lord were silent, seeming to be thinking, but they frequently communicated with each other through their eyes.

"Well, Crane Daoist Friend's proposal is really good."

Iron Fan True Monarch from the Azure Sea Immortal Sect was the first to speak. He affirmed it first, and then changed the topic. "But, I still don't understand something."

"After all, Guiguan has just established its sect, and I heard that there are not many disciples in the sect."

"If we have to take turns fighting like this, wouldn't it be easy to suffer losses?"

After all, if someone else joins forces to target them, all Esteem Truth Temple Disciple will be shot down.

Not only does this fail to prove the power of one's own magic, but it also brings disgrace.

Of course, Iron Fan True Monarch is not reminding you out of good intentions.

But he really didn't understand why Esteem Truth Temple would make such a proposal, which was obviously not conducive to them.

When your opponent looks like they're being stupid, it's best to err on the side of caution and not think they really are.

Especially for a sect, the probability of making mistakes is much lower than that of an individual.

"Thank you Daoist Iron Fan for your concern."

Crane Cry True Monarch smiled and explained, "But, although the qualifications of several of my disciples are average, they still have some experience in fighting."

"Besides, I am relatively confident in my Esteem Truth Temple and Law Technique."

He said it euphemistically, but what he meant more confidently was: Our sect Law Technique is very powerful and we are not afraid of you taking action against us.

Hearing this, Five Great Sects fell into silence again.

They really don't know much about Esteem Truth Temple, so they are somewhat unsure of the other party's reality.

What if the eight arenas are all filled with disciples of Esteem Truth Temple, then wouldn't the opponent step on them and become famous in one battle?

This possibility is of course relatively low, after all, they do not feel that their own inheritance is weaker than others.

But considering this proposal, it was proposed by Esteem Truth Temple.

Then the other party must have come prepared and had to guard against it.

"Haha, Crane Daoist Friend is quite confident in his disciples."

Qian Shu True Monarch of Thousand Machines Valley praised it, and then asked, "It's just that we only have seven stores in total here. If we want to set up Eight Directions Arena, wouldn't it be uneven?"

"The extra spiritual object is not suitable no matter who it is."

"In my opinion, it's better to find a different way."

The rewards in this kind of arena must not be too shabby, so his proposal also makes some sense.

"Daoist Qian Shu's concerns are indeed justified."

Crane Cry True Monarch nodded in agreement. "But it has been an ancient rule for a new sect to open a mountain gate, set up an arena, and welcome guests from all directions."

"It's up to us to bear this shortage of spiritual things."

He answered quickly, obviously having already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Crane Daoist Friend is really grand!"

Yunfeng True Monarch from the Ink Barrier Sect said, "But it seems a little inappropriate to do this."

"After all, this is the first time Guiguan has communicated with us since its establishment."

"If it's up to Guan Guan to shoulder the responsibility for the spiritual things, wouldn't it seem like we're crowding out new colleagues?"

"Of course, I believe Crane Daoist Friend has good intentions, but I am afraid that if the news spreads, the casual cultivators outside will not understand and cause some misunderstanding."

"So in my opinion, it's better to follow what Daoist Qian Shu said and change it in a different way."

They still haven't thought clearly about Esteem Truth Temple's intention of doing this.

But it doesn't matter. If you can't figure it out, just change it and don't follow the script prepared by the other party in advance.

Crane Cry True Monarch Hearing this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: It sounds nice, but it doesn't use the misunderstandings of the casual cultivators outside. You don't welcome us in the first place.

But don't mention it, Yunfeng True Monarch's words are so high-sounding that it's really hard to refute.

"Fellow Daoist Yunfeng That's wrong!"

However, Purple Sun True Monarch, who was sitting in the chair, smiled slightly and stood up.

He first looked around.

Then he stretched out his hand and bowed to the sky, and the sound was like a loud bell, "Since Dao Ancestor recreated the world, Eight Directions Arena has been passed down to the world."

"East Suppressing Azure Sea Dragon Qi, West Leading Kunlun earth veins, South Connecting Li Fire Essence Soul, north of Xuanming True Intention, the four upright and four corners coincide with the movement of the sky, and they are also the foundation for me, Daoist Sect, to establish the sect."

"Although I, Esteem Truth Temple, am a newly established one, all the members of the sect, Law Succession, inherit the ancient system."

"If we change the rules, wouldn't it become known as if we don't know the ancient etiquette? It would make people all over the world doubt that I, Esteem Truth Temple, are not orthodox."

Having said this, Purple Sun True Monarch looked around again.

The voice became calm again. "Of course, times have changed, and I know that these ancient rituals are no longer popular in the outside world."

"But after all, this is a courtesy that I, Esteem Truth Temple, have passed down from generation to generation. As the younger generation, I can't help but respect it."

"I believe Fellow Daoist Yunfeng and all fellow Daoists can understand and won't insist on changing the rules and deliberately make things difficult for us, right?"

Well said!

Crane Cry True Monarch secretly shouted good in his heart.

On the surface, he retorted, "Hey, what Junior Brother Ziyang said is serious."

"Fellow Daoist Yunfeng has made it very clear just now. We are all Daoist Sect, so we will naturally unite and help each other."

"But then again."

"Fellow Daoist Yunfeng also said that those casual cultivators like to think wildly."

"If we use any other method, I'm afraid they will misunderstand and spread rumors about big sects uniting to suppress emerging forces."

"This Youyou mouth is really difficult to guard against."

"Fellow Daoist Yunfeng You think so?"

.

Hearing this question, Yunfeng True Monarch people felt numb.

No, is this what I just said?

But with all this hard work, he couldn't lie on the spot and deny what he said personally, "Ahem, what Crane Daoist Friend said is absolutely true."

As soon as he relented, the tacit understanding Five Great Sects had formed in private became difficult to maintain.

Besides, just now Purple Sun True Monarch also brought out the banner of ancient rituals and occupied the great righteousness in the discourse.

If they continue to oppose the establishment of an arena, it will really be a case of exclusion.

Everyone here is a decent person, so naturally they care about face, and no one wants to bear such a bad reputation.

But the problem is, you can't really fully comply with Esteem Truth Temple's wishes, right?

Gang Yuan True Monarch looked to the left, Iron Fan True Monarch was staring at the tea cup and studying the pattern on it.

Looking to the right again, Qian Shu True Monarch was observing the dragon and phoenix patterns carved on the pillars.

The two of them have already spoken once, and if they open their mouths again, they will inevitably sound aggressive. At this moment, they are only responsible for watching the show.

Yunfeng True Monarch has already relented, so naturally he can no longer object.

Treading Frost True Monarch of Cloud Wave Sword Abode is in retreat, and this time it is Surging Wave True Monarch.

He had just broken through Nascent Soul not long ago, so he had almost no tacit understanding with them and lacked experience in this area.

After looking around, Gang Yuan True Monarch realized that at this moment, he, a Body Refining warrior, had to rely on him to figure out a solution.

Isn't this making things difficult for people?

In the past, he mostly relied on his fists to solve problems, and basically didn't do this kind of work that required the use of his brain.

The sequence of speeches from the beginning is enough to prove this point.

Phew~!

A gust of breeze blew by, no one spoke in the hall, and an awkward atmosphere began to develop.

"Well, this, I think, let's just fight in the ring. It's actually not impossible."

Gang Yuan True Monarch said intermittently to delay thinking.

At this point, it seems that changing the method won't work, so I admit that it's okay to set up an arena.

But fully admitting it was not an option, he had to find a way to disrupt the situation now.

Confuse the originally clear situation as much as possible to complicate it, thereby creating new opportunities.

Gang Yuan True Monarch's thoughts changed rapidly, and suddenly an idea flashed.

So he opened his mouth and asked, "But, I have to confirm the rules of the arena that Crane Daoist Friend just mentioned."

"If I remember correctly, what fellow Daoist said is that Eight Great Arenas is open to everyone's challenge, right?"

Crane Cry True Monarch After hearing this, he pondered for a moment.

But it was indeed what he said, so he nodded. "Yes, Daoist Gang Yuan, but do you have any questions about the rules?"

These rules were indeed passed down from Ancient Times, so there is definitely nothing wrong with them.

"Oh, I don't have any doubts."

Gang Yuan True Monarch smiled, "I am a martial artist, and I usually don't know these ancient rituals. I didn't expect Ancient Times's rules to be so friendly."

"Set up an arena and let everyone challenge."

"It not only demonstrates the exquisiteness of the sect's techniques, but also gives the majority of casual cultivators an opportunity to compete and win treasures."

"I asked why Guiguan has attracted so many casual cultivators to come here. It turns out that it is to benefit everyone."

"Then I will take your place. Thank you very much for your kindness."

Since fighting in the ring is unavoidable, let's make a fuss about it from the people participating.

Increase the number of people participating in the arena from Seven Great Sects to tens of thousands of casual cultivators.

At least it can have the effect of delaying time and rethinking countermeasures.

Crane Cry True Monarch Then he realized that he had gone astray just now.

When Gang Yuan True Monarch said, "Let everyone challenge," he subconsciously thought that the "everyone" the other party meant was everyone present.

Unexpectedly, he actually meant everyone.

Originally, Esteem Truth Temple attracted casual practitioners just to increase its popularity and create a situation where Esteem Truth Temple was very popular.

As a result, it is now being used by the other party.

Crane Cry True Monarch looked at Gang Yuan True Monarch with deep eyes.

I really didn't expect that this seemingly powerful warrior would be so difficult to deal with.

Now it was hard for him to refute what he had nodded, and secondly, it was hard for him to object to the casual cultivators participating in the arena.

In the end, I could only nod my head. "Ahem, fellow Daoist, you are too polite. This is the ancient etiquette, so why bother saying thank you?"

In this case, then agree to it and simply take advantage of Esteem Truth Temple's reputation for treating casual cultivators well.

They were all prepared for Five Great Sects not to cooperate.

The current result is due to Purple Sun True Monarch's on-the-spot performance, which is already very good.

It is nothing more than extending the time by two or three days, which will not affect the overall situation.

Once the general direction is finalized, the rest is easy.

The arena was originally prepared on Red Flower Island, but now there are just a few more contestants.

Then add a game of Selection Match and select some people from the casual cultivators first.

These are insignificant details.

Does anyone really think that casual cultivators can defeat sect disciples?

In the end, those spiritual objects will still be captured by the disciples arranged by Esteem Truth Temple according to the original plan.

At that time, the name Esteem Truth Temple will also be followed by Five Great Sects and spread throughout the entire Compassion Sea instantly.

In order to prevent long nights and long dreams, Crane Cry True Monarch finalized the rewards for each major arena with the other True Lord.

As soon as possible, through Divine Sense Transmission, we arranged for the disciples outside to promote and arrange the selection of casual cultivators.

So when Xiao Chen had a full meal in the banquet area and was about to find a place to rest.

I saw many Esteem Truth Temple Disciple holding brand new notices and posting them everywhere.

He went over and took a look, and it said that Nascent Soul Ceremony would have an additional selection session this time.

All casual cultivators can sign up to participate. As long as they win the competition, they will receive the Spirit Stone reward.

If you can achieve a winning streak, you can also get more Spirit Stone and additional spiritual rewards, and be qualified to participate in the subsequent Attack Arena Segment.

At that time, you can compete with disciples from various major sects to compete for better rewards.

At the same time, the notice also specifically stated, Arena Defense Grand Prize from Eight Great Arenas, as a publicity stunt.
