Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"Dean, are you saying that I also want to take part in the competition?"

Zhou Ling was quite surprised when he heard Dean Gong's words.

He didn't expect that he would now become a teacher in the inner courtyard and have to take part in the competition.

The reason why Dean Gong asked Zhou Ling to go to this Jiutian Sword Academy competition was because this competition was special.

It's not just a competition between Taoist disciples.

There are also competitions between teachers and students.

The reason why it is called the General Hospital Competition.

This time, the competition was held between Taoist temples in various immortal cities.

In Qingyun Immortal City, the Jiutian Sword Academy won the competition among the four major academies last year.

Therefore, Jiutian Sword Academy represented Qingyun Immortal City in the battle.

This competition is not only related to Jiutian Sword Academy, but also closely related to Qingyun Immortal City.

The reason why I say so.

Mainly it has to do with the system of the Dao League.

Now the Dao League controls the ratings of all fairy cities.

The level of the fairy city is not static.

Every ten years, there will be a competition.

There are two main aspects.

The first is the number of realms opened up by aristocratic families. This is one of the reasons why Tiangong Si will assist other aristocratic families in opening up realms.

The second is the level of the Taoist temple. The higher the level of the Taoist temple, the higher the rating the fairy city will receive.

Each fairy city can only have one Taoist temple representing the fairy city in each session.

If in both areas, perform well.

Then the fairy city will be improved.

For example, Qingyun Immortal City was originally at the fourth level, but it will be upgraded to the fifth level.

As long as it is promoted to the fifth-level Immortal City, the Dao Alliance will have extremely amazing means to enhance the power of the rules of the Immortal City.

This will be of great help to the monks and the resources of the fairy city.

For example, Qingyun Immortal City is only a fourth-grade Immortal City now, and the power of rules it contains does not have the ability to impact the realm of divine transformation.

Therefore, if a monk has reached the peak of Yuanying and wants to become a god, he can only go to a higher-level fairy city.

But each fairy city has its own power, and other Nascent Soul monks will not be easily allowed to survive the tribulation in the fairy city.

After all, transforming the Divine Thunder Tribulation will greatly consume the original rules of the fairy city.

This is not good for the local monks in the fairy city.

Of course, these are still far from Zhou Ling.

It's just that this general academy competition is related to the Immortal City's score, so there is also a Taoist academy teaching competition.

There are only two places in Jiutian Sword Academy this year.

"Originally, the quota this time was given to other teachers, but since you already have five elements and all phenomena, this quota will be given to you!"

"The other one is me."

Dean Palace looked at Zhou Ling with beautiful eyes and said aloud.

"Dean, what are the rewards for this kind of competition in the Fairy City General Academy?"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but asked.

Although he is now in charge of the Tiangong Department, he should do his part for Qingyun Immortal City.

But now he is too busy with all kinds of things, so he has time to participate in this kind of competition.

After all, the Zhou family is only a foundation-building family now, so this kind of thing should be left to the Yuanying family and other forces to worry about.

"There will naturally be rewards. If you win, in addition to getting a lot of points, you can also get valuable materials such as the Infant Transformation Pill."

"If you can help me obtain the Infant Transformation Pill, then of course I would also like to thank you!"

"And if we can win, the level of Jiutian Sword Academy in Qingyun Immortal City will also be improved, and both the Taoist teachers and disciples will benefit!"

Dean Gong glanced at Zhou Ling with his beautiful eyes and said with a slight smile.

Having been with Zhou Ling for a long time, she also knows Zhou Ling's character.

This kid is not a gentleman. He will not do anything without profit.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately straightened his expression, nodded and said, "If the dean asks me to participate, then I will naturally be obliged to do so."

He also knew that Dean Gong was currently in the late stage of Golden Elixir cultivation. If the reward this time included the Infant Transformation Pill, he couldn't miss it.

After all, it is impossible for the Dao League to allow such a high-level strategic resource as Huaying Dan to circulate in the market.

It can only be obtained through the formal channels of Daomeng.

"Dean, where will this competition take place and what method will it take?"

Following Dean Gong's words, Zhou Ling continued to ask.

To avoid the embarrassment of not participating just now.

If it was about Qingyun Immortal City and Jiutian Sword Academy, he had no interest.

But he naturally wanted to help with the matters concerning the Palace Director.

After all, it was thanks to the help of Dean Gong that the swordsmanship reached this stage.

"This competition will be held in Qingyang Fairy City in March next year."

"At that time, all Taoist representatives from the third-grade and above immortal cities will participate."

The dean of the palace said so.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned and asked directly, "Dean, will the Taoist Academy in Qingyang Immortal City also participate?"

The tone is full of doubts, what is the situation in other fairy cities?

He didn't know much about it in detail, but he had been to Qingyang Immortal City and met some disciples from Qingyang Immortal City Taoist Academy.

Their cultivation level is much higher than that of the disciples of Qingyun Immortal City Taoist Academy.

The overall cultivation level of teaching is also much higher.

Facing Qingyang Immortal City Taoist Academy, other immortal cities definitely have no chance of winning.

"The participants this time are the disciples of the inner courtyard. Each Taoist academy has four quotas, plus two teaching quotas."

"The disciples in the inner courtyard are all foundation-building monks, and the teaching regulations stipulate that they can only cultivate the golden elixir."

The palace dean replied.

He looked relaxed and didn't seem to have much fear of the Taoist temple in Qingyang Immortal City.

Zhou Ling can understand this. After all, the dean is a late-stage Jindan cultivator and a three-level and four-step sword cultivator. Even if he goes up against a Nascent Soul cultivator, he may not suffer.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling felt that if he participated in the competition as a teacher, he would be at a huge loss.

The opponents he faced were all Golden Core cultivators.

But now he is no longer a Taoist disciple.

Even in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, he was already a teacher in the inner courtyard, and his status as a disciple was gone forever.

"Hey, it's a pity. If it had been done earlier and I had participated as a disciple, that would have been perfect!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

"Dean, my cultivation level is only in the late stage of foundation building. Can I be included in the disciple quota?"

After thinking about it, Zhou Ling asked with a smile.

After all, I am not very young, so this operation is reasonable and reasonable.

And against other foundation-building monks, he was very confident.

But when it comes to Golden Elixir cultivators, the early stage of Golden Elixir is relatively easy.

With Dean Gong's level of cultivation, he has no chance of winning.

"no!"

Dean Palace shook his head, then glared at him and said, "As a sword cultivator, you naturally have to face difficulties, so you have to pick the weakest persimmons to attack!"

"This competition is also an opportunity for you to practice your sword skills."

"Besides, the two of us will join forces, so you don't have to worry too much!"

In her opinion, although Zhou Ling is only in the late stage of foundation building, he has understood the Five Elements and All-Seeing Sword Intent and will have no problem dealing with the early stage cultivators of the Golden Core.

And this time they are fighting against the enemy together. The two have similar sword intentions, so together, their power will be even greater.

This was one of the reasons why she chose Zhou Ling.

"Join forces?"

Zhou Ling looked puzzled.

Later, Dean Gong told Zhou Ling the details of the competition in the main hospital.

This competition is not a one-man battle.

Rather, it takes the Taoist temple as a whole.

There are four participating disciples and two teachers competing at the same time.

Disciples compete with disciples, and teachers compete with teachers.

Finally, the overall score is based on ranking.

According to what Dean Gong said, the four disciples have already practiced a set of second-level top-quality combined fencing formations.

If it can be used stably, it will be powerful enough to deal with the golden elixir monks.

From the tone of the palace director, she seemed to be very confident.

"Dean, is there a suitable sword formation between us?"

Zhou Ling asked.

Against the golden elixir monks, he felt that his confidence was still a little lacking.

He didn't want to hold back the Dean of the Palace at the critical moment!

"Um!"

Hearing this, the Palace Dean's beautiful eyes were clear and her eyebrows slightly raised, knowing that Zhou Ling was trying to trick the swordsmanship in her hand again.

But it doesn't matter. She wants to train Zhou Ling to become a five-level sword cultivator, so she won't be stingy with sword techniques.

At Zhou Ling's level of cultivation, it would be very difficult to make further progress without the guidance of a famous teacher.

This is also the reason why casual cultivators want to join aristocratic families.

Apart from not having enough resources, the key point for casual cultivators is that they have no inherited cultivation techniques.

Loose cultivators who can reach the realm of golden elixir are already very rare.

"I happen to have a Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation in my hand, which is suitable for the two of us!"

Dean Gong smiled and then handed a jade slip to Zhou Ling.

"Take a look first, and if you don't understand anything, ask me again!"

"Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation!"

Zhou Ling took the jade slip, curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"The five elements circulate, condense the sword soul of the sun and moon, and turn it into the sword energy of the sword domain!"

Zhou Ling checked the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and after seeing the contents of the sword formula inside, he immediately understood why the director of the White House chose this sword formula.

This Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation can be said to be tailor-made for him, using the Five Elements Sword Qi to condense the Sun Soul.

The Dean of the Palace condensed the soul of the moon, the sun and the moon into one, condensed the soul of the sword of heaven and earth, and its power was greatly increased.

"Dean, with this Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation, can we deal with the peak Golden Core cultivators?"

"But if the other party is two peak Golden Core cultivators, wouldn't I be holding back the dean?"

Zhou Ling asked again.

Dean Palace shook his head and said, "Even two peak Golden Core cultivators may not be able to defeat us if they cannot condense the formation."

"Of course, in the next three months or so, we have to master the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation together!"

Zhou Ling was even more shocked when he heard this. The dean's expectations for him were too high.

He actually had to defeat the peak golden elixir cultivator.

"Dean, it's not that I don't have confidence in this sword formation, it's just that I have only cultivated in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I will definitely not be a match against a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator!"

Zhou Ling said with a wry smile, asking Dean Gong not to have too high expectations of himself.

"Don't worry, not every Taoist temple will send two monks at the peak of the Golden Core. Even if you encounter the middle stage of the Golden Core, your Five Elements and All-Seeing Sword Intent will be used well, so there is no chance of winning!"

"Treat this as a competition to hone your swordsmanship!"

Dean Palace said with a relaxed expression.

"Is this okay?"

Zhou Ling said helplessly.

He thinks he has always been very low-key.

Why does the dean think that he can deal with the middle-stage Jindan monks?

This is obviously unreasonable!

"There are a total of 128 Taoist temples participating this time. As long as we can enter the top 16, we will win!"

Dean Gong seemed to have great confidence in Zhou Ling.

The Five Elements Sword Domain is almost invincible in the realm of foundation building.

Even if it is against an ordinary golden elixir in the early stage, it will not be a disadvantage.

Coupled with his own cooperation, it would be barely enough to deal with two peak Jindans.

After all, this competition is extremely important to any Taoist academy.

Therefore, the teachers who participate in the competition must be strong in all aspects.

Of course, their goal is to enter the top 16, that's enough.

"Don't worry, Dean, I will do my best! I won't let you down!"

Zhou Ling nodded and said.

Anyway, it's already like this, and it's impossible to retreat at the last minute.

Next, I will do my best.

Fortunately, there are still three months, enough to improve my cultivation to the ninth level of foundation building, and then consolidate the Five Elements Wanxiang Sword Intention and the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation.

With the cooperation of the dean, I don't think it will be too miserable!

"You don't have to be too nervous, I still say that, just treat it as a practice of your swordsmanship and practical level."

Dean Gong didn't want Zhou Ling to feel too much pressure.

"Yes, Dean!"

Zhou Ling nodded.

"Next, you have to pay more attention to the practice of the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation, and make sure that you can enter the Sword Shadow Jade within two days and practice with me once!"

Before leaving, Dean Gong reminded him again.

Zhou Ling naturally agreed.

But it was hard to arrange the time!

It could only be arranged at night!

······.

When I returned home, my mother had already taken people to clean up everywhere.

There were still three days before the Little New Year.

The Taoist temple also began to have holidays.

Zhou Ling first inspected the workshop for a while.

Now the workshop has doubled in size, and a large number of Nine Yang Bamboos have been planted around it.

The fire attribute aura in the workshop has also been greatly improved.

It allows the cultivators in the workshop to recover their mana quickly, and also improves efficiency accordingly.

As the demand for the number of third-level treasures increases, Zhou Ling feels that he has less and less time now.

He is also thinking about whether to hire another third-level refiner.

But now the family already has Deacon Luo, a third-level formation master.

Hiring another third-level refiner will increase the cost a lot.

After all, the offering of a third-level refiner is equivalent to the offering of ten second-level refiners.

Thinking that the family's foundation is not enough now, it is still a big burden to take on two third-level worshippers at once.

Zhou Ling can only work hard first and squeeze out more time to refine the third-level treasure.

Back in the yard, Wang Xinzheng and He Zijian were chatting.

This year, the brothers and sisters will not go back and plan to spend the New Year at Zhou's house.

After the Taoist temple was closed, they moved here.

Seeing Zhou Ling coming, the three of them also exchanged a few words.

He Zijian was also full of emotion in his heart.

Now he is only at the third level of foundation building, and his cultivation has been far behind Zhou Ling.

But now he no longer wants to make trouble by comparing himself with a monster like Zhou Ling.

The reason why he came to Zhou's house to spend the New Year this time is that everyone here is an acquaintance from Lingxia Fairy City.

In addition, he also wants to take this opportunity to ask Zhou Ling about some swordsmanship training methods.

During this period, he also encountered a bottleneck in practicing swordsmanship.

And Zhou Ling is now an inner courtyard instructor of Jiutian Sword Academy, and is fully qualified to teach him.

Hearing He Zijian's request, Zhou Ling asked them to come to the family's small square.
