Chapter 878 Unsheathing

Just as Mr. Xun was about to say something to Mo Hua, footsteps were heard outside the door. Head Taixu walked in with black hair and a ruddy face, but his brows were furrowed.

Seeing Mo Hua in the house, Master Taixu was obviously a little surprised.

Mo Hua quickly stood up and saluted, 'Hello, Master.'

'Well, okay.' Head Taixu's attitude towards Mo Hua was very gentle.

'I returned the big dog before, but since you weren't here, I tied it up in front of the library for you.' Mo Hua said.

The head of Taixu looked subtle.

He couldn't understand.

What a rebellious and strange beast, how come it is like a big guard dog when it comes to this kid Mo Hua...

Is it really like adding brine to some tofu and reducing one thing to another?
'Okay.' Head Taixu didn't show his thoughts, and only nodded slightly on the surface.

Mr. Xun glanced at Master Taixu and patted Mo Hua on the shoulder, 'That's all you learned today. You can go back first.'

Mo Hua also knew that Old Mr.

Then Mo Hua receded.

Mr. Xun stood up and carefully put away the formations he had drawn in ink one by one.

The head of Taixu looked on silently and couldn't help but said in his heart:
'As expected of the ancestor, he can really keep his composure. At this time, he still has the leisure to teach his disciples how to learn formations...'

The treatment of Mo Hua, the child, would be an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor's biological son.

After Mr. Xun cleared the desk, the two got down to business.

'The meeting of the Qianxue Pavilion has been decided. The sword discussion meeting will be advanced, the quota will be relaxed, and the order of the sects will be changed starting from this meeting...'

'I've known for a long time that I had to change it, but I didn't expect that I would really do it this time...'

The head of Taixu placed a jade slip on the table and presented it to Mr. Xun.

'The four major sects have already prepared for this Qianxue Pavilion meeting, but Tai'amen, Chongxumen, and my Taixumen, including some sects that are at odds with the four major sects, were the last to know about it. Caught off guard.'

'But the initiative is originally in the hands of others. Even if we object, it is useless...'

Mr. Xun picked up the jade slip and glanced at it briefly. He looked as usual and seemed not surprised. Then he turned his head and looked at Master Taixu:
'What do you want to do?'

The head of Taixu suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but when Mr. Xun asked, he could only bite the bullet and said:

'I have tried my best to arrange it.'

'This Dao Discussion Conference is of vital importance, so the merits awarded to disciples have increased by 40% compared to before.'

'Those who can participate in the sword discussion have already arranged for Taoist elders to take them to Demon Refining Mountain to hone their tactics.'

'The rest of the Dan array talisman has also been selected from the outstanding disciples of this year, and will be personally guided by the sect elders. They must be able to win a certain ranking in the Tao Discussion Conference and stabilize the order of Taixu Sect...'

'Other trivial affairs of the sect have also been temporarily suspended, and everything has been given way for this Dao Discussion Conference...'

…

The head of Taixu spoke in a very orderly manner.

Mr. Xun nodded slightly.

After Master Taixu finished speaking, he sighed, 'It's just that this time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.'

He pointed at the jade slip, 'These moves of the four major sects seem to be just normal changes in the regulations, but every move is inserted into the gate of life.'

'Taixu Sect is a little better, but for Tai'amen and Chongxu Sect, it is extremely dangerous...'

'The sword discussion is brought forward, which means there is less time to prepare, and they no longer have the opportunity to mediate.'

'The relaxation of the quota will make it even worse for them who are already short of manpower.'

'And this time, the rankings will begin.'

'Judging from the current situation, not to mention Tai'amen and Chongxumen, even my Taixumen wants to keep the position of the 'Eight Gates', but it is very difficult...'

When the matter of 'ranking' was mentioned, the head of Taixu looked solemn.

'If the Eighth Gate cannot maintain its position, generally speaking, it will fall to the 'Twelfth Rank'...'

'But when I think about it carefully, it's not that simple.'

'Although the Eight Gates are actually higher than the Twelve Gates, in name, the two are equal and there is no distinction between them.'

'To enter the twelfth stream, you must have a 'specialty' in Taoism. Either swordsmanship, Taoism, or the sect's inner alchemy array and talismans, and have profound attainments...'

'My Taixu Sect's background is not bad, but in terms of 'specialties', it may not be as good as these existing twelve-rate sects.'

'If you fall from the Eig
00000000000000000000000
…

After that, the atmosphere in Taixu Sect suddenly became tense.

Everyone seems to know that this conference on Taoism is of extraordinary significance.

Murong Caiyun, a disciple of Shangguan Xu in the late stage of foundation building, in order to prepare for the upcoming sword discussion conference, he hunts monsters every day, sharpens his tactics, and cultivates a tacit understanding between each other.

Mo Hua's mid-term foundation-building disciples were not so busy because they did not need to attend the Tao Discussion Conference, but the atmosphere among the disciples was still a bit solemn.

In particular, some disciples with good family backgrounds and deep backgrounds, who knew the inside story from their clans, were even more worried about the situation of the Taixu Sect.

The interests of the sect are closely related to these disciples.

They don't want to go through all the hard work to get into the 'eight gates' when they get started.

As a result, once I graduated, I became an ordinary disciple of 'Hundred Schools of Practical Learning'.

It's just that they are only in the middle stage of foundation building. Although they are impatient, they can't help.

Mo Hua is still practicing the formation.

However, the sword discussion conference started first, and the ranking weight of the sword discussion conference was higher than that of other Tao discussion conferences.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while, then went to Mr. Xun and asked:

'Old sir, can I participate in the sword discussion conference?'

He thought he might be able to help.

Mr. Xun was startled and immediately shook his head and said:
'You are only in the middle stage of foundation building, why are you joining in the fun...'

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the middle stage of foundation building in Mo Hua did not seem to be the middle stage of foundation building in the ordinary sense.

Especially when I think of the “accomplishments” of ink painting:
In the records of Daotingsi, there are a series of 'evil' criminal cultivators who were arrested and evil cultivators who acted cruelly.

It also includes murderous demons such as 'Fire Buddha'.

Not to mention, the almost unbelievable 'great achievements' of setting up a large formation and killing the big demon were found in Tongxian City before I sent people to find out...

Mr. Xun looked at the white and cute ink paintings in front of him, and it was difficult to connect these things with him.

But the 'rumors' in Tongxian City are hard to say, but Daotingsi's records are not false.

Most of what's going on here is probably true.

Mr. Xun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: 'The Sword Discussion Conference is not that simple.'

Mo Hua is puzzled.

Mr. Xun looked at Mo Hua and patiently explained:
'Your spiritual roots are not good, the level of your skills is limited, and the number of spiritual power you have cultivated is less than others, so your spiritual power is naturally low.'

'In addition, his cultivation is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. At least in terms of spiritual power, it is more than a step behind those geniuses who are in the later stage of Foundation Establishment or even at the peak of Foundation Establishment.'

'As for the Sword Conference, there are many competitions. Your meager spiritual power cannot withstand the consumption.'

'Once your spiritual power is used up, no matter how many tricks you have, you won't be able to use it. In the end, you will have to admit defeat.'

When Mr. Xun said this, his eyes were slightly solemn:

'I know that if you can get along like a fish in water outside and deal with those evil cultivators, evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, you must have a lot of trump cards in your hand.'

'But you have to understand that there is a difference between overt and covert situations.'

'When you go out to do things in secret, your methods will be hidden and have miraculous effects.'

'But the Sword Discussion Conference is tomorrow, and it's attracting everyone's attention. There are so many people watching. If your trump card is revealed once, everyone will be watching.'

'Others will prepare in advance and then plot against you and target you.'

'What's more, there are so many games to be played in the Sword Discussion Conference. No matter how many cards you have, if you reveal them in one game, sooner or later they will be exposed.'

'In the end, all your tricks have been seen through, how can you still fight?'

Mo Hua looked solemn, but at the same time he was also a little confused and asked: 'Old sir, other sect geniuses, they also have trump cards, aren't they afraid of being exposed?'

'They are different from you...' Mr. Xun said, 'Their trump card, in the final analysis, is nothing more than their cultivation realm and superior Taoism...'

'This is hard power. Even if we are exposed, it will not be easy to defeat them head-on.'

'But you are different. Can your trump cards be shown to others? Do you dare to let others see them? You didn't even show them to me...'

Mr. Xun looked at Mo Hua silently.

Mo Hua lowered his head in embarrassment.

Mr. Xun did not pursue further, but continued: 'So, although you have many methods, your cultivation base is too shallow, and you are very afraid of being targeted. If you want to win, you must hide your trump cards. Don't use them unless you have to.' ”

'If you rush to participate in this sword discussion conference, even if you can help a little, it will not be of much significance. It is even very likely that the gain will outweigh the loss...'

Mr. Xun said earnestly and thoughtfully.

Mo Hua looked serious and nodded.

The ancestor is worthy of being an ancestor, and the problem is indeed far-reaching.

This also gave him a wake-up call.

My spiritual power is low and I am afraid of being consumed by others.

He has many cards, but he is afraid of being targeted.

If in the future, I really want to stand in front of thousands of people, I will have to find a way to solve these shortcomings.

You must also arrange your trump cards reasonably.

It is easy not to use it, but once it is used, it must be finalized to determine the outcome.

It's best not to let others see the clues.

He hadn't thought about any of this carefully beforehand.

'Old sir, I understand.' Mo Hua nodded.

Mr. Xun nodded happily and said in a broad voice:

'I said, if you learn the formation well, it will be the greatest help. You don't have to worry about other things, not to mention...'

Old Mr. My talents and abilities are all top-notch, so don’t worry.”

Mo Hua nodded and said, 'Yeah!'

…

About half a month later, the first 'Sword Discussion Conference' of great significance since the sect's restructuring began in Qianxue Prefecture.

This is a grand event.

The four major sects and the several major families behind them invested a lot of manpower and material resources to hold this sword discussion conference. Not only was it unprecedented in scale and grand, but more monks came to watch the ceremony than before.
000000000000000000000000000
On the border of Qianxue Prefecture, among the many fairy cities, there were huge crowds of people, cars like flowing water, horses like swimming dragons, spiritual beasts and stars, flying boats flying in the sky, and it was very lively.

I really want to see Mo Hua.

Cheng Mo and the others also wanted to drag Mo Hua along to join in the fun.

But Mr. Xun didn't agree. He asked Mo Hua to calm down and learn the formation with peace of mind.

Mo Hua also knew his priorities, so when the entire Qianxue State was in a commotion, he was still sitting alone in the disciple room, silently repeating the most difficult formations among the peaks of the second-grade nineteen patterns. , painted over and over again.

In this state, noisy and calm intertwined.

The sword discussion conference has come to an end.

Not surprisingly, Tai'amen and Chongxumen were defeated miserably.

Their core disciples were almost all wiped out by the Daoting Division's investigation of Yan Zhizhou.

The remaining disciples are unable to support themselves. Even if they try their best, it will be difficult for them to compete with the four major sects, the other eight sects, the twelfth stream, or even some of the top sects among the hundreds of sects of Qianxue.

In addition, the number of places in the Sword Discussion Conference has been expanded this time, which is even worse for them.

This means that they are almost using 'substitutes' and 'cannon fodder' disciples to compete with the 'main force' and 'substitutes' of other sects.

It's a nightmare.

No fight at all.

Therefore, Tai'amen and Chongxumen almost became the biggest losers in this sword discussion conference.

The Taixu Sect is not bad. According to the ranking of swords, it is barely ranked seventh among the eight gates.

Originally, they were always at the bottom, but now they are slightly ahead.

Moreover, this was the ranking achieved under great pressure during the sect's restructuring and in the face of intentional and unintentional targeting and blockage from major sects.

The disciples of Murong Caiyun almost gritted their teeth and fought hard to reach this point.

Even after the competition, many disciples, including Murong Caiyun, fell down due to excessive spiritual power and exhausted meridians, and were sent to the alchemy room for treatment.

The head of Taixu was both pleased and sighing.

'They are all good kids...'

The elders were in the middle, and Master Taixu and Mr. Xun sat opposite each other.

The head of Taixu sighed: 'I come from a noble family and have seen a lot of geniuses. I know that sometimes, the disciples with high spiritual roots are not necessarily that good.'

'As long as the spiritual root is enough, it is the character of the mind, which is very valuable.'

'These disciples, at such a juncture, can withstand the pressure and do their best to win face for our Taixu Sect and maintain their ranking. Regardless of their talents, they are all talents who can be made great in the future...'

Old Mr. Some preferential treatment...'

Head Taixu nodded, 'Okay, I'll give the order right now.'

Then he felt sad again and sighed, 'This time, Tai'amen and Chongxumen will be miserable.'

The Sword Discussion Conference failed, and their rankings had already dropped to no one knows where.

Although this incident had been expected for a long time, when it actually happened, it still made people feel cold all over.

However, the three sects are connected by the same energy, and they are somewhat sympathetic to each other.

In comparison, Taixu Sect's current situation is much better.

But this is only relatively speaking, and it does not mean that you will be able to sit back and relax from now on.

The seventh and eighth are both at the end.

Next, there will be competitions on weapons, elixirs, talismans, and formations.

If the Taixu Sect is stable, it may be able to maintain its current ranking. Even if it slips to eighth, it will still be the eighth gate.

But once something goes wrong and the situation is not stable, the ranking... I really don’t know what it is.

The situation is not optimistic at all.

The head of Taixu was still a little uneasy.

Although the discussion on the elixir formation and talismans is not as weighty as the discussion on swords, it does not take long and the scale is not that large.

But after all, there are four games to discuss, and there are too many variables.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens...

Head Taixu turned his head and looked at Mr. Xun, only to see that Mr. Xun was still drinking tea calmly.

The head of Taixu felt helpless.

This ancestor is really ambitious, and he is not in a hurry at this point.

How did he keep his composure?
Mr. Xun seemed to have read through the thoughts of the head of Taixu. He poured him a cup of tea and said calmly: 'Everything has been done. Now we just have to listen to fate. There is no point in hurrying. Just drink tea.'

Head Taixu could only take the tea cup respectfully and take a sip.

I don't know whether it is bitter or sweet in my mouth, there is no taste.

Mr. Xun was still drinking tea silently, but in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a hint of expectation and edge that was hard to detect.

No one knew that he forged a 'sword'.

He is waiting now.

Waiting for the day when this sword with a sharp edge that can shock the entire Qianxue State will be unsheathed.

After that, Taoism conferences were held step by step one after another.

Finally, two days later, it was time for the Array Discussion Conference.

This also means that this Tao Discussion Conference is about to finally come to an end...
