Chapter 64 Lecture

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, Tang Jie devoted himself to cultivating, but his progress was extremely slow.

Since the cultivator has entered the ninth rank, every step is extremely difficult. If you have to make a division, you can roughly understand it like this.

Before Transcendence, no matter how you practice, you can do it, the only difference is in the speed; after entering the Hundred Refinement, you may not be able to get down within ten years, but at least you can speed it up with medicine; A once-in-a-thousand-year genius will take at least several years to achieve success. It is not uncommon for those with insufficient qualifications to fail for decades. But as long as you are willing to spend time, you can actually pass these nine ranks.

It will be different when enlightenment is achieved. From this point on, there is a possibility of failure in cultivation. Although the chance of failure in Enlightenment is not too high, at least 20% of enlightened people fail every year. After enlightenment, there are three dry kalpas, and the failure rate of this step has increased to 40%. After two rounds of elimination, half of the people who can reach the peak are actually left. Passing this level is to attack Tianxin, and the failure rate of Tianxin is 60%, so those who can enter Tianxin, usually only 30% of the original people are left.

But this is only a theory, and it cannot be achieved in practice.

Because before the impact on Tianxin, there is still a chance to fail again, but the chance of success is even lower, and from the beginning of Chongtianxin, life is in danger, especially the two passes between Xinmo and Zifu. The way of death disappears, because of this, not everyone dares to attack the realm of Tianxin, and many practitioners often stop at the peak of escape.

That's why there are tens of thousands of detached mortals, but only a few hundred in Tianxin.

Those who dare to pursue the immortal path with their lives are limited in the end, and the number of real people who fail to achieve this fall every year due to the impact of higher realms from the major factions has never been many.

The Xiyue Sect has a pure orthodoxy, and has many ways to resist the demons. The danger of passing the demon period is less than other sects. Therefore, there are a large number of middle-level Tianxin, which has laid a sufficient foundation for the later true king. There are only four True Monarchs of the Moon Sect so far, the same number as Tianshen Palace. Even Ming Yekong is still in the process of attacking the True Monarchs. It has not yet finished, and the consequences are unknown.

The journey to immortality is so difficult that even Tang Jie couldn't help but think, don't think that once you have a secret realm, you will be able to travel to immortality without hindrance, everything is just the beginning.

After practicing for a while today, I suddenly heard someone exchange outside the cave: "Is Junior Brother Tang Jie here?"

When I got out of the cave, I saw a young man standing outside the cave. Tang Jie recognized this person as Wang Yong, he had been in the sect for fifteen years, and he had changed his cultivation level four times. Because he lived nearby, Tang Jie had visited him when he came, so he knew each other.

Seeing Wang Yong at this moment, Tang Jie opened the magic circle to welcome him in: "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

Wang Yong said with a smile: "Teacher Chang gave a lecture today,

Therefore, I invite you to listen to the lecture. "

"Teacher Chang giving lectures?" Tang Jie was taken aback, but then he realized that he was referring to Chang Tianshui, the first deputy hall master.

Lectures are common in the Xiyue Sect. If disciples have any questions after graduating from the academy, and there is no guidance from a master, they can only answer questions by listening to lectures. Listening is not in vain, but needs to be contributed.

Lecturers need to be approved by the training hall to be qualified to give lectures. Generally speaking, at least the governor is required. Otherwise, everyone can go to give lectures, and things will be messed up.

This is also a way for high-level cultivators to get contributions. Usually, each person only needs to receive ten points of contribution for a class, and one hundred people can get one thousand points of contribution. Success, that is, 400 points of contribution, is much more convenient than going out to perform tasks, and the key is decent.

Of course, you can also charge more, but if the charge is too high, there may be fewer disciples who come to listen, and the income will decrease instead. Therefore, the specific measurement depends on each individual. The current general price is 10 points of contribution, such as the nineteen Tiankui, it is hard to say, 20 or even 100 points are not equal, the problem is that there is a price but no market, Tiankui will not give lectures easily .

Chang Tianshui is the first deputy head of the secret hall, and considering that Xu Baibing hardly cares about matters, he is also the real head of the secret hall. This person gives lectures once a year. On the one hand, it is to teach the disciples in the class, and on the other hand, it is also to give everyone a chance to know himself. As for contribution, in his capacity, he doesn't care much.

Because of this, it is a relatively important thing for him to give lectures. Of course, Tang Jie can not go, but with Tang Jie's temperament, it is almost impossible.

So at this moment, after hearing what Wang Yong said, Tang Jie hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, brother, I will go there right now."

After changing his clothes, Tang Jie followed Wang Yong and left Xianquan Peak towards Tianji Peak.

When we arrived at the Tianji Hall, we saw that there were only dozens of people in the square in front of the Tianji Hall, and a case was placed near the gate of the hall. This was the place for lectures.

Surprised in his heart, he asked Wang Yong, "Why are you so talented?"

Wang Yong replied: "Because of teaching newcomers, Hall Master Chang usually only teaches Nine Revolutions."

"So that's how it is." Tang Jie understood.

Since the content is limited, the audience is naturally limited invisibly. In addition, there will always be some people who do not receive timely news, so the future is also normal. But from this point of view, the head of the regular hall should not be the kind of person who has a particularly big airs, otherwise, if he is good at the top, he will be bad at the bottom. It is entirely possible for him to alarm more than 3,000 people in the secret hall with a single lecture. arrived.

Thinking of this, Tang Jie already had a good impression of the Chang Hall Master.

He and Wang Yong found a place to sit down, and a rotating disciple came over and deducted ten points from each of them. When the lecture time came, one of them walked out of the hall. With a green face and long beard, he was surprisingly tall. He also wore a simple long crown on his head, which made him look a little taller.

This person is Chang Tianshui.

Because he wanted to remember this person's image, Tang Jie couldn't help but take a few more glances, Chang Tianshui felt something, turned his head to look at Tang Jie, his eyes were cold, Tang Jie felt as if he was in an ice cave. No, the real ice cave will no longer make Tang Jie feel cold, but Chang Tianshui's glance makes all his resistance disappear, and the whole body can't help shaking, just for a moment, there are patches of ice between his eyebrows. Frost.

Fortunately, Chang Tianshui seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly smiled. This smile was like a spring breeze, and the frost disintegrated. Only then did Tang Jie get rid of the endless cold, and his heart couldn't help trembling. Even in He Chong and Xie Fengtang's body, he has never felt such a strong consciousness, it can only be said that this person's strength is stronger than the two of them.

As for Feng Hongluan and the others in Mingyekong, they have already cultivated to the point where their energy is restrained and back to nature, so it is normal that this situation will not happen.

At this moment, Chang Tianshui sat down in front of the case, and said in a loud voice: "Ordinary people say that cultivation starts from the Lingtai. For me, cultivation starts from the ninth turn. The way of the nine turns is like a plant rooted in the soil, and what you cultivate is the root." Therefore, it is the most important thing, and you should act carefully and choose carefully..."

This person didn't talk nonsense, he just came up to give lectures, explaining all kinds of things about Nine Revolutions one by one.

In terms of the level of lectures, this person is actually not as good as Xiyue lecturer, and he doesn't understand any profound and simple truths at all, but as the peak of Tianxin, this person's knowledge is much better than ordinary lecturers. In particular, some problems may not matter now, but will affect the future, those lecturers may not know, but Chang Tianshui is very clear.

The so-called road can't get narrower and narrower, we need to start with these small details to remove all hidden dangers as much as possible.

At this moment, Tang Jie was listening and matching what Xie Fengtang had taught him. Some things Xie Fengtang had said, and some things he had missed, or he didn’t know about them. By comparing the two, Tang Jie became more and more aware of what was important. What doesn't matter.

Chang Tianshui taught this class for an entire hour and a half, and Tang Jie only felt that he had benefited a lot. He originally had the idea of ​​spending ten contribution points to get to know his boss, but now he feels that these ten contribution points are really cheap. If those casual cultivators can take this lesson, I don't know how much they can improve.

At this moment, after Chang Tianshui finished speaking, he gave everyone a chance to ask questions. He didn't get up and leave until all the questions were answered.

Seeing Chang Tianshui leave, Wang Yong asked Tang Jie with a smile: "How?"

Tang Jie said from the bottom of his heart: "It's wonderful. When I was in Xiyue College, I was taught by a real person. At that time, I thought it was enough. I just realized today that each has different cultivation and different understanding. If you want to The best thing to gain is to learn from the best of all schools of thought. From today on, whenever real people have lessons, I will definitely come to listen to them.”

Speaking of this, Tang Jie paused for a moment, then suddenly bowed to Wang Yong and said, "Thank you, brother, for your reminder!"

Wang Yong laughed and said, "Don't think it's that simple. Do you think everyone is the head of the regular hall? Not everyone is so generous and gives lectures without reservation."

Speaking of which, Wang Yong had already told Tang Jie that he learned something from listening to lectures. There are all kinds of people from the Huanghuang sect of the Xiyue sect, mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are always some guys who don't really teach skills, and just use some methods that everyone knows to deal with people.

If you want to get their insights from such people, you often can't do it in one or two classes, but you have to listen to it repeatedly. No matter how stupid real people are, it is impossible for them to make the content of their lectures exactly the same every time, and there will always be times when they accidentally reveal their words. In these countless word leaks, the disciples can get a glimpse of the door.

The training hall stipulates that polyphony is not allowed in each lecture, in order to give students this opportunity.

And the more times you go, those people are familiar with you, maybe they will pass on some secrets.

It is in the process of accumulating over time that everyone can get something of real value.

Hearing these words, Tang Jie also felt deeply: "I thought that after leaving the academy, there would be no such things about study. Why did I feel like I entered a bigger academy after joining the Moon Cleansing Sect?"

Wang Yong laughed loudly: "Cultivation is everywhere, how can there be a division of schools, junior brother, you are too rigid."

Tang Jie replied solemnly: "I'm the one who sticks to the rules."

Now that he has decided to attend more lectures, Tang Jie can no longer just practice hard in the cave like before. A ten-point contribution for a class is not much, but if you listen to every class, it is really a lot.

Thinking of this, Tang Jie finally understood why the Moon-washing faction was like this. To put it bluntly, everyone was forced to work hard to earn contribution points, that is, to work for the Moon-washing faction. He couldn't help laughing and said: "If this is the case, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the hall to have a look."

The central hall is where the mission of the secret hall is located. Tang Jie has joined the Xiyue sect for three months and has not really entered here. Accompanied by Wang Yong at this moment, the two came to the hall and saw a hexagonal crystal in the hall. Rotating in the air, sweeping out rows of subtitles from time to time, it is all kinds of tasks issued by the secret hall, and the contribution points vary depending on the content.

According to Wang Yong's introduction, Tang Jie knew that there are generally two types of missions in the secret hall, one is the mission under the hall, which is the mission of the secret hall itself; the other is the private mission, that is, some practitioners in the secret hall may have something to do To entrust others to do it, you are willing to pay a certain contribution point to entrust.

In addition to this, there is actually another kind of task, which is the task of other halls. Sometimes there are some special circumstances that may require the help of people from other halls, and they will also be sent here.

At this moment, Tang Jie and Wang Yong were looking for interesting tasks, and an old man came not far away.

The old man was withered, and the skin all over his body was wrinkled like an orange. When Wang Yong saw this person, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Disciple Wang Yong has met Governor Yu!"

When Tang Jie heard this, he hurriedly bowed to salute.

The old man surnamed Yu nodded after hearing this, showing a hint of a smirk: "You don't need to be too polite, I just listened to Master Chang's lecture, I think you two have a lot of feelings, and you seem to have understanding, yes , That’s right. Just three days later, I’m going to give lectures, and I think you two are quite spiritual, so why not come and listen.”

As soon as Wang Yong heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Senior Yu, disciple..."

The old man surnamed Yu's expression became serious: "Why? Look down on me, Yu Yan? Or do you think that I, Yu Yan, have four hundred years of experience in cultivation and are not enough to teach you?"

Wang Yong was taken aback: "Disciple dare not!"

The old man Yu snorted: "This old man thinks highly of you, so don't show shame!"

As he said, he waved his sleeves and left.

Seeing the old man leave, Wang Yong sighed helplessly: "Oh, what a pity, why did he get caught by him."

Tang Jie saw the bitterness on his face, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, isn't it a good thing to invite us to attend the class? Why are you..."

"Hey!" Wang Yong sighed, "Do you still remember what I just told you? There are always some people..."

A light flashed in Tang Jie's heart, and he said in a low voice: "There are always some people who don't give lectures sincerely? Don't teach them how to do it, and cherish it with a broom?"

Wang Yong nodded, and leaned into Tang Jie's ear and said, "This Yu Yan is like this. Don't look at him who has been practicing for more than 400 years. In fact, he is only at the peak of the mortal world, and he has no hope for his life. Originally I don’t have much ability, but I still want to treat my little ability as a secret.”

Tang Jie smiled and said, "That's normal. Only the poor would want to split a penny into two flowers. The more incompetent people are, the more they take their abilities seriously."

Wang Yong thumped his palms and said: "The problem is that this old boy has no content in his lectures, but he still relies on this to cheat everyone's contributions. If others don't listen to his lectures, he will simply follow his old ways and arrest people everywhere." Come and listen! That's not counting, his class is very expensive, and he has to charge 20 points for a class, what a black heart!"

Tang Jie's face immediately sank.

What are you kidding?

Don't think that the contribution of the Moon Sect is very good.

He had seen those missions just now. Generally, completing a simple mission would only cost 10 or 20 contribution points, and completing a more difficult mission would only cost more than a hundred points. For example, there is a mission to hunt down Anzi of the Beast Lianmen, who is now running around after being identified. If you capture this person alive, you can get 150 points of contribution, and if you kill him, you can get 70 points.

That Anzi is only known to be in the area of ​​Qiongya, and the exact address is unknown. The disciples have to find a way to find him, and it takes so much trouble to get dozens or hundreds of points of contribution. It can be seen that the value of the contribution is really not low.

If it's a lecture of Chang Tianshui's level, not to mention ten o'clock, even one hundred o'clock Tang Jie will admit it, and the old man dares to charge twenty o'clock for his own incompetence, which is simply robbery!

Tang Jie said in a deep voice: "He invited me, so I have to go? Then what if I don't go?"

Wang Yong immediately said: "Hey, he came to invite you, how could he not remember you? If you come, then it's fine. If you don't come, then you won't give him face. Although this old man has no ability , but at least relied on his seniority to become a governor. You must know that the governor can directly assign tasks to you, if you offend him, and he will do something to trick you, it will not be worth the candle!"

Tang Jie asked: "With so many people in the faction, no one cares about him?"

Wang Yong asked back: "He just invited you to attend the lectures, and he didn't violate the rules of the faction. How can he manage it? Even if you are assigned to a dangerous mission, as long as you contribute a lot, it is still not against the rules! As long as you don't If you violate the rules, you will have nothing to do with him, so everyone can only accept this loss."

Tang Jie said indifferently: "I am actually a stubborn person. If others ask for something, just say it well, and I will probably agree. If you use disgusting means to blackmail and extort, you will not obey. He is Governor Yu's lecture Even if he can talk wildly, I don’t want to hear it, so what can he do to me? If there is any troublesome or dangerous task, just throw it over and see if I, Tang Jie, can handle it.”

After saying this, Tang Jie accepted a task casually and left.

Tang Jie received a privately commissioned collection task, which was to collect some rare elixir. It doesn’t matter whether you buy it with spiritual money or find it yourself. Anyway, as long as you hand it over to the entrusting party, you can get 300 points of contribution.

Because of the value of the elixir itself, the contribution points offered by the other party are relatively high, which is equivalent to a certain degree of spiritual money and contribution exchange. Tang Jie had money but no time, so he accepted this task.

Even so, this task took him four days to complete the collection, and he also posted two thousand spiritual coins.

After doing this again and again, when Tang Jie returned to the mountain, Old Yu's class was over.

In fact, this was also intentional by Tang Jie. Although he was not afraid of the old man, he habitually saved some face for others. I was away on a mission and had no time to come back, so it was an explanation to the old man. If he knew how to advance and retreat, he should not bother himself.

But it turns out that people's bottom line is always being broken down.

Tang Jie was still cultivating in the cave that day, and a piece of paper flew over, with a big letter written on it: "There is an order from the Xuanji Palace, go quickly."

This flying paper usually means only one thing: a mandatory task is coming.

In general, there are only two situations in which mandatory tasks need to be issued.

One is that it is more urgent, so it must be arranged in a compulsory way, rather than allowing disciples to choose freely. The second is that it is more difficult to handle. It has not been dealt with for a while, so it can only be arranged for disciples through compulsory arrangements.

The former is okay, the latter is more troublesome.

No need to ask, Tang Jie also knew that what he faced must be the latter situation.
