Venerable Tongming watched the two Qi Refining Realm disciples competing in the field, with focused eyes, no distractions, and numb expressions.
What?
You said that lights come on every now and then, making it easily distracting?
Who do you look down on?
I am a Spirit Transformation, and a mere two or three... four or five... a dozen disciples have achieved Golden Core, who has never seen it before!
Oh, you've never seen one so dense?
Neither did I...
A dozen Golden Core are naturally nothing, and he really doesn't take them seriously.
But in less than half a month, Nine Mountains Sect actually had a dozen new Golden Core monks...
One egg a day, just like an old hen laying eggs...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa also raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Seeking Immortality Island, with a frown on his face and no smile at all, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
Venerable Tongming's eyes are even deeper:
This Zheng Sect Leader knows how to make people angry.
The other Nascent Soul who were watching the ceremony were not focused on the competing disciples at this time, but were all whispering;
"Fourteen, I remember Nine Mountains Sect Golden Core, that's all, right?"
"Doubled?"
"Not only that, I see that among these fourteen Golden Core, there are actually seven Upper-Grade Golden Core! If time passes, there will not be seven more Nascent Soul Cultivator? Now these Nine Mountains Sect are only five Nascent Soul, right?"
After saying this, all Nascent Soul's eyes fell on Zheng Dharma Body.
Among the group of people sitting here, there are two Spirit Transformation, and most of the others are Nascent Soul.
Only Zheng Fa is the youngest, and his cultivation level is no more than Golden Core, so he feels a little out of place sitting inside.
But at this moment, he seemed to be attracting the most attention.
The Golden Core brilliance from the distance shone on him, shining brightly and making it unforgettable.
Only that frown made everyone murmur in their hearts--
This Nine Mountains Sect is too pitiful, right?
There is so much more material to build from.
Are you still frowning like this?
So dissatisfied?
Everyone couldn't help but start to reflect:
Could it be that we have too low expectations for our disciples?
Didn't you see Nine Mountains Sect is so prosperous now?
Is it true that a strict teacher makes a good disciple?
Zheng Fa really didn't know that his expression could deceive the disciples of other sects.
He was indeed a little disappointed.
Only half of these fourteen disciples condensed into Upper-Grade Golden Core, which was actually a little lower than what he expected.
Ordinarily, this ratio would definitely be considered a great joy for any Xuanwei sect.
But Nine Mountains Sect is different after all.
After <Golden Core Engineering>, all the twelve Golden Core methods have become more and more perfect.
Forget it.
Even the principles of Golden Core are understood by these disciples, and there are basically no doubts in their minds.
Of course, this does not guarantee that everyone will form Upper-Grade Golden Core.
The problem is - simplification.
The effect of process simplification can be calculated using a very simple probability question:
If there are twenty steps that need to be performed, and the yield rate of each step is 90%, then the total yield rate is probably a little more than 10%.
If it is simplified to only ten processes, the total yield rate will be more than 30%.
There will be an improvement of about three times.
Of course, Core Formation is not that simple - he cannot reduce each method by half. The so-called "yield rate" is different from Method Formula. The monks' own conditions are different, and there is no accurate measurement, so naturally it cannot be calculated clearly.
But the principle is roughly the same.
On the other hand, having fewer steps has another benefit:
Because the Core Formation process consumes spiritual power and Divine Soul, this leads to the fact that the more steps there are, the less control the monk has over the Core Formation process. Naturally, the "yield rate" is actually getting lower and lower.
With fewer steps, there is no such risk.
Therefore, Zheng Fa thinks that the proportion of... Upper-Grade Golden Core should be higher.
After thinking about it, Zheng Fa shook his head, thinking that this was the first large-scale practice of <Golden Core Engineering>, and it could not completely achieve the ideal situation. On the other hand, the conditions of each Foundation Establishment Realm disciple were different, and some people's Dao foundation was too imperfect, which might have a great impact.
He planned to wait for these disciples to come out of seclusion, summarize them one by one, further improve the theory of <Golden Core Engineering>, and improve these Golden Core methods again.
In the future, Foundation Establishment will have <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method>, Core Formation will have <Golden Core Engineering>... then it will be another story!
As for those disciples who have not formed Upper-Grade Golden Core, Xuanwei monks may feel that they are hopeless Nascent Soul...
But <Nine-Turn Golden Core Method> might be able to bring some surprises to Zheng Fa.
After thinking about this, Zheng Fa looked up and saw the Nascent Soul Cultivator around him looking at him, which was quite strange.
"You guys look at me like this..." he asked blankly, "Is the competition over?"
"Huh?"
Everyone turned around and saw the winning disciple standing in the theater with his hands on his hips, his expression lonely, aggrieved, and boring.
After the sports meeting is over, it is the commendation meeting. After Hundred Immortals Assembly is over, it is naturally the same!
Hundred Immortals Assembly is divided into three groups: Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refinement Realm. The top eight in each group will be rewarded by Venerable Tongming.
Zheng Fa looked at Seventh Young Master standing on the stage stupidly and shook his head:
This guy actually ranks seventh in the Qi Refinement Realm category!
Hundred Immortals Alliance's generation of disciples has a worrying quality!
But it's quite understandable when I think about it--
Not to mention Seventh Young Master's cultivation reached Late Stage of Qi Refinement Realm, and apart from the Nine Mountains Sect's disciples, his Talisman Arts attainments reached Hundred Immortals Alliance, which is definitely among the best.
But... Talisman Arts has an extremely advantageous position among the disciples of the Qi Refinement Realm. After all, Law Treasure can only be played after Golden Core.
In addition, this person is now quite popular in the Azure Wood Sect, and Azure Wood Sect is good at alchemy.
Zheng Fa has watched Seventh Young Master's competition: This man is a krypton gold and medicine warrior!
Those who are higher in cultivation than him don't have as many spiritual talismans as he does, those who have the same number of spiritual talismans as him don't have as many elixirs as him, and those who even have more elixirs than he do, they can't admit defeat as quickly as he does!
Venerable Tongming distributed various rewards such as Spirit Stone treasures to these disciples, and felt a little awkward - because he could feel that everyone seemed to be a little absent-minded.
So does he.
Because they are all waiting for the next project - Nine Mountains Sect's new Golden Core Ceremony.
This was also suggested by Uncle-Master Pang. He felt that Zheng Fa Core Formation should have celebrated, but Zheng Fa refused at that time. After all, when he took over as Sect Leader, there was a celebration. The time difference between the two was very short, and Zheng Fa was not willing to bother.
Now that there are fourteen more Golden Core monks in the sect, their strength has been greatly enhanced. Why not take advantage of the excitement of the Nine Mountains Realm and hold a big one.
Zheng Fa After thinking about it for two days, he agreed - it's human nature to show off after a breakthrough in cultivation, right?
He cannot deprive the new Golden Core disciples of this fun.
What surprised him was that Venerable Tongming and the others were actually quite interested.
Therefore, after this Hundred Immortals Alliance commendation meeting, there is the Nine Mountains Sect Golden Core celebration.
After Seventh Young Master and the others received their rewards, Nine Mountains Sect and the fourteen newly promoted Golden Core lined up and walked to the stage. They had just advanced and their auras had not yet completely calmed down. They walked together with overwhelming momentum.
Even Nascent Soul, who was watching the ceremony, could not help but hold their breath at this moment and looked at these disciples with complicated eyes.
The leader among the fourteen people is none other than Sun Daoyu, the disciple of Uncle-Master Pang. He is married to Upper-Grade Golden Core and has great prestige among his disciples, so he is the leader among them.
At this moment, Sun Daoyu was no longer as calm as before. He had a silly smile on his face. As soon as he saw Zheng Fa, he couldn't help but grin, which showed that he was happy in his heart.
In the audience, Uncle-Master Pang and Zhou Ganyuan looked at this disciple, their faces turning into chrysanthemums.
Golden Core Ceremony, in fact, it is not comparable to the commendation meeting just now - because there are no rewards.
The most important thing is to let all the disciples meet these new Golden Core disciples, and at the same time, change their waistbands to those of True Disciple.
Zheng Fa handed the newly made waist tag to Sun Daoyu. Sun Daoyu took the waist tag and rubbed it carefully with his fingers. His eyes were a little red.
Zheng Fa patted his shoulder and pushed him forward gently.
Sun Daoyu took two steps and stood in front of Zheng Dharma Body, facing the bustling crowd of the Nine Mountains Sect disciples and other outside monks.
First, the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect saluted him. "Congratulations, senior brother, on your achievement of Golden Core and your honor as True Disciple!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound shook all directions.
Sun Daoyu quickly returned the gift.
Then came the foreign monks who were watching the ceremony and congratulating him.
The faces of these people are also quite solemn - Golden Core is considered a figure in the Xuanwei Realm, not to mention Upper-Grade Golden Core, who is expected to become a good talent of Nascent Soul.
Even those Nascent Soul secretly remember the face of Sun Daoyu.
After the seven disciples received their badges and received congratulations from everyone, the face of the eighth disciple was no longer purely happy... but also a little ashamed.
Because what he condensed is just one Mid-Grade Golden Core.
The disciples who followed him could not hide their dejection.
Venerable Tongming and others watched in the audience, feeling even more weird:
Mid-Grade Golden Core It's a close call, but is it necessary?
Huh?
Why are you Nine Mountains Sect more angry than the other?
Venerable Tongming turned around, looked at the elite disciples he had brought, and secretly calculated in his mind that among the hundreds of Golden Core monks, there were no more than fifteen Upper-Grade Golden Core!
This is the essence of his Hundred Immortals Alliance disciples from several generations!
When I look at the disciple's face on the stage, I feel very angry!
Zheng Fa understands this disciple's frustration...
He patted the man on the shoulder, smiled, and said, "After you go back, summarize the mistakes you made during the Core Formation process, so that future disciples can learn some lessons."
The disciple in front of him lowered his head and spoke in an angry tone, but did not refuse. He even said, "Yes, I cannot compare to Senior Brother Sun and the others. It would be good if I could make some contribution to the sect and give a few reminders to the juniors."
Obviously, he really understands what Zheng Fa is thinking.
Zheng Fa felt relieved, slapped him hard, and said with a smile, "Core Formation It's just a little worse, but it's not irreversible."
The disciple suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa, and saw him smiling at him and nodding lightly.
"... Yes!"
The disciple immediately became excited.
Venerable Tongming and others in the audience were even more confused...
No, please explain to me, what does Dan Cheng Wu regret mean?
What does it mean to be able to recover?
Zheng Fa These words are simply nonsense.
But unfortunately, when Zheng Fa said this, not only this disciple, but also several disciples behind the team all beamed with joy, without any doubt at all.
Venerable Tongming:...
He feels that there is something wrong with these Nine Mountains Realm people...
What Zheng Fa said is naturally <Nine-Turn Golden Core Method>.
The group of disciples received their waist badges and walked behind the high platform, where the older generation of Golden Core disciples gathered.
Nine Mountains Sect's Golden Core disciples originally only had a dozen or so, but now there are twice as many, and the changes are very noticeable.
What's more, among the previous disciples of Golden Core, apart from Senior Sister Yuan, Upper-Grade Golden Core had only one other male disciple.
Now that there are seven more Upper-Grade Golden Core, the strength is more than doubled?
Sun Daoyu As they approached, the faces of these older generation Golden Core disciples couldn't help but look a little gloomy... After all, their Golden Core quality was relatively low.
Looking at their faces, Sun Daoyu understood in his heart and said softly, "Brother, why are you doing this?"
"Huh?"
"I thought I wasted all these years in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but with the breakthrough of Sect Leader, I can achieve Upper-Grade Golden Core... Now Sect Leader is already Golden Core Stage. If I achieve Nascent Soul, think about it..."
He didn't finish his words, but the faces of the old disciples around him changed, and they seemed to understand what he meant immediately.
Think again about what Zheng Fa said to that Mid-Grade Golden Core disciple just now...
In an instant, these old disciples who were still a little lonely just now looked at Zheng Fa, wishing they could achieve Sect Leader in one day, Golden Core Completion in three days, and Nascent Soul in three days...
Let people like them also enjoy the joy of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!
After the ceremony, Zheng Fa walked off the stage and specially thanked everyone Nascent Soul from the outside world for watching the ceremony.
"What does this mean? We are lucky to see so many talented people."
There was Nascent Soul Cultivator who said with a genuine smile.
"Exactly! There are so many Upper-Grade Golden Cores in Guizong, which opened my eyes!"
"It's not a worthwhile trip, it's not a worthwhile trip!"
Everyone also praised Golden Core Ceremony. Obviously, they felt that they had gained more knowledge and were very satisfied with the Nine Mountains Sect being able to participate this time.
The only one who is not satisfied is Venerable Tongming...
He looked at these people with confusion in his eyes:
What's the point of this trip?
Isn't it that I invited you here to watch the ceremony Hundred Immortals Assembly?
Zheng Fa said a few words to everyone before talking about his purpose:
"My name is Nine Mountains Sect Economic Development Island. Marketplace will be opened today. At that time, a small auction will be held. If you are interested, you may wish to come and take a look."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Zheng Fa took out some colorful brochures from behind, handed them to them and said:
"These are the auction items prepared by our sect. By the way, our sect accepts both Spirit Stone and Law Treasure. If you want to sell something through our sect, you can also go to Senior Sister Zhang."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
Seeing him leaving, everyone gathered together and briefly looked through the various auction items in the book. After reading, they all shook their heads.
"This Nine Mountains Realm doesn't seem to have any good stuff? Why are there so many External Core?"
"Hmm, these Law Treasure seem to be from the Great Freedom Demon Cult?"
"I remember this coffin belongs to Bronze Coffin Elder."
"Actually, it's not that bad. Nine Mountains Sect's background is not very deep."
Everyone nodded. After this Golden Core Ceremony, their expectations for the Nine Mountains Sect suddenly became much higher.
Looking at this booklet now, I feel a little disappointed.
Venerable Tongming also said, "Nine Mountains Realm wants to be poor. Many things have to be purchased through me, Hundred Immortals Alliance."
Hearing this, other Nascent Soul Cultivator also understood that Nine Mountains Sect probably didn't have many good things.
Needless to say, my heart suddenly felt a lot more balanced...
"Then are you going?"
"I'm not going, I don't have anything else I want."
"I'm not interested."
"I want to go take a look. Great Freedom Demon Cult and Law Treasure also have their own unique features."
"I also want to buy some thunder spiritual materials."
Venerable Tongming estimated that most of the people were not interested in this auction.
He looked at Venerable Chengkong on the side and saw that this person didn't even read the pamphlet...
Seemingly noticing his gaze, Venerable Chengkong smiled and explained, "This Nine Mountains Realm is the thunder-type thunder material, which is interesting, but the one they auctioned is of no use to me."
His tone was lazy, and he seemed to disdain this so-called auction.
But Venerable Tongming also understands him...
After joining Supreme Dao, you don't need a little beating.
Isn't it in vain that you found such a big backer?
Don't say you didn't say it in front of Zheng Fa, just in front of him, how dare Zheng Fa say anything?
To be honest, he didn't plan to go either.
As Spirit Transformation, the things in this are of no use to him.
But Venerable Tongming was not in a hurry to leave. After all, some of the Hundred Immortals Alliance's disciples and elders also wanted to have a look at the auction.
What's more, there is Economic Development Island and Marketplace, so it will only be delayed for a few more days, and he is not in a hurry.
At night, he heard a sudden cry from outside the surrounding yard.
He frowned, and Divine Sense knew upon closer inspection that these were two Foundation Establishment disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance talking.
"You mean, those Nine Mountains disciples' ability to condense Upper-Grade Golden Core has something to do with those External Core?"
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"How can this be false? My uncle's sister-in-law's brother used to be Nine Mountains Sect!" I heard another voice plausibly saying, "I can find out clearly!"
"Every one of this batch of the Nine Mountains Sect's Golden Core disciples has participated in some <Golden Core Engineering> course!"
"What is Golden Core Engineering?"
"How do I know this? I just know that those External Core are also related to Golden Core Engineering!"
Venerable Tongming was stunned, his face immediately became serious, and he continued to listen.
"Is this true?"
"You don't believe it? Just so, do you have Spirit Stone on you? Lend it to me and I'll go to the auction to see if I can buy a External Core!"
"... No borrowing!"
The two of them pulled each other away, Venerable Tongming looked at the beams, and had some concerns in his heart.
Three days later, on Economic Development Island, the door of a wide two-story wooden building was bustling with people.
Venerable Tongming pinched it, came to the door, looked into the building, and couldn't help being stunned:
Hey, didn't you say you don't have anything you want?
That one is you!
Did you say you were not interested?
He saw with his own eyes that all those Nascent Soul who could not be described before were walking in one by one!
"Tongming, what are you doing standing here?"
Behind him, a slightly familiar voice came, but he didn't dare to recognize it.
He turned around suddenly and saw Venerable Chengkong standing behind him, walking towards the building.
"Envoy? Are you here to participate in the auction too?"
"Hmm."
"You're not..."
"Huh?"
Venerable Chengkong glanced at him, Venerable Tongming had to shut his mouth, and he could understand Venerable Chengkong:
Become Supreme Dao, and I won't go back on my word and call a deer a horse...
Could it be that finding such a big backer was in vain?
He didn't dare to say anything.
