Elder Meng took him directly to the affairs hall and told him on the way that the deputy peak master had something to do with him. He also said that the peak master had already gone into seclusion and had made arrangements before the retreat. No matter he saw any high-level monks in the peak, he did not need to go.

Just kneel down on one knee and bow your hands.

Yan Zixiu was happy to accept this "special treatment": "Thank you Peak Master for your kindness, and thank you Elder Meng for informing me."

The two landed on the platform outside the highest level of the affairs hall and entered the elders' meeting hall.

The hall is extremely high and wide, with a sapphire floor and two rows of white jade pillars supporting a golden dome. A red-rimmed silk carpet leads directly from the door to the throne of the peak master. There is a person sitting on the auxiliary seat next to the throne, with a gloomy face and deep eyes.

Guess, it should be the deputy peak master.

On both sides of the carpet, there are more than 200 golden spiritual chairs, but only a dozen Jindan monks are sitting on them. The rest are empty.

Elder Meng stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Please report to the Deputy Peak Master, Yan Ziling will bring you here." Then he stood up and sat down aside.

Yan Zixiu stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I've met the deputy peak master, I've met all the elders."

Although it was the etiquette authorized by the peak master, some elders still disagreed and snorted a few times from their nostrils.

The gloomy-faced deputy peak master forced out a smile: "No courtesy. Xiaoyou Yan, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Deputy Peak Master." Yan Zixiu didn't care about the dissatisfaction of the elders and sat down on the golden silk spiritual chair without being humble or arrogant.

"Young friend Yan, my name is Zheng Qing. I invite you to come here this time because I have something important to discuss." Venerable Zheng Qing's words were very polite. I guess there is something important.

Yan Zixiu cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions, Deputy Peak Master."

"Young Yan has just arrived, so you may not know some things yet. Our Shenxiao Sect encourages competition, not only externally, but also internally. These eight peaks often challenge each other. The loser must give up some benefits."

Yan Zixiu thought to himself, could there be other peaks coming to challenge Dancao Peak?

Sure enough, Venerable Zhengqing said: "According to the rules of the sect, challenges cannot be avoided. Challengers can use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, choose their own strengths and avoid the other party's strengths. Therefore, no one who comes to challenge our Alchemy Peak will choose alchemy.

"

That's right, who would compete with Dancaofeng in refining elixirs?

"The challenged one has two choices. The first is to give up the fight. The price is that whatever the challenger wins, the challenged party will pay according to the price. This is called self-defeat without fighting. The second is to fight. If there is a fight, there are three options.

Result: First, if you fail, you will be compensated at half of the winnings. So fighting is better than not fighting, at least you don’t have to pay that much."

"The second is to fight in a draw, and the challenger will keep the prize. The third is to win in a fight, and the challenger will have to double the compensation."

Yan Zixiu said: "In this way, if you avoid war, you will lose everything. If you fight, there will be advantages or less disadvantages."

Venerable Zhengqing nodded and said, "That's exactly it."

"Please tell me, Deputy Peak Master, how big will the lottery prize be?"

"About one-tenth of the challenger's total resources."

When Yan Zixiu heard this, he felt that the Shenxiao sect knew how to play. This was to encourage everyone to develop in an all-round way and increase their strength. Let each mountaintop have ideas to challenge others, but also guard against challenges from others.

Moreover, the lottery number is one-tenth of the overall strength, which is not a small proportion. It doesn't matter if you lose once, if you lose too much, you may be removed from the eight peaks. It can be seen that being the peak leader is not that easy.

"This time, Miaole Peak comes to challenge. The prize is twenty peaks and twenty medium-sized spiritual veins. If we give up, we will give this number to the opponent. If we lose, we will give the opponent ten peaks and ten medium-sized spiritual veins. Fight.

If we win, the opponent will give us twenty peaks and twenty medium-sized spiritual veins. If we win, the opponent will give us forty peaks and forty medium-sized spiritual veins." Deputy Peak Master Zhengqing took the trouble to introduce the details of the challenge.

The name of Miaolefeng attracted his attention. Could it be that he specialized in music?

The price of twenty mountain peaks and twenty medium-sized spiritual veins is really not small.

One medium-sized spiritual vein on a mountain peak can supply a golden elixir stage monk. This plus or minus affects the interests of twenty to forty golden elixir stage elders.

Sure enough, some Jindan-level elders were already shouting: "As soon as our peak master went into seclusion, Miaole Peak came knocking on our door. It's really too much of a deception!"

Some worriedly said: "Miaolefeng's sound-killing skills are invisible and intangible, and they hurt people invisibly. They must not be underestimated. Whether it is a group attack or a single kill, it is extremely powerful."

"Then Miaole Peak is so annoying. They even sent a Qi-training monk to challenge us. If we don't fight or lose, not only will we lose resources, but we won't have the face to see anyone!"

"We can also send Qi-training monks to fight." An elder looked at Yan Zixiu intentionally or unintentionally.

Venerable Zhengqing allowed everyone to discuss it.

When everyone stopped talking, he spoke: "Young friend Yan, you have heard it, right?"

Yan Zixiu understood that this was not to allow him to fight: "I have heard the report to the deputy peak master. There are two things I don't understand, and I would like to ask the deputy peak master to make it clear."

"That's what you say."

"First, why did the other party challenge us as soon as the peak master retreated? Second, has Miaole Peak come to challenge us before?"

Deputy Peak Master Zhengqing said helplessly: "Normally it is not convenient for you to know about this matter. But since you asked, I have to tell you. Then the Peak Master of Miaole Peak has always been interested in our Peak Master. So these two of yours

The problem is actually a problem.”

Yan Zixiu understood. In the past, the other party did not challenge for Gao Yingying's sake. Probably because Gao Yingying never gave a response, the other party became a little angry and wanted to take revenge. But he didn't want to get things done, so he did this.

Once out.

"Yan Xiaoyou, I heard that you are also good at music?" Deputy Peak Master Zhengqing got to the point.

"I can't say I'm good at it. I know a little bit about it."

Elder Meng said: "Yan Xiaoyou is so humble. The Taiyin Spiritual Tree owned by Venerable Feiguang was brought back to life by Yan Xiaoyou with just one song."

"Is this happening?" Some of the Jindanqi elders present here had just returned to the mountain and didn't know about this yet. After hearing this, they couldn't help but look at the young monk.

"Of course." Elder Meng said as if he had seen it with his own eyes; "This matter has spread widely. Miaole Peak sent a Qi-training monk to challenge him. Maybe he heard the news, felt dissatisfied, and did it intentionally.

.”

An elder agreed: "Elder Meng's words make sense. If they had a way to play a song to revive the Taiyin Spirit Tree, they would have gone to receive the reward long ago. Yan Xiaoyou's show of skill really outclassed them. Haha."

"Yan Xiaoyou, are you willing to fight against those who come from Miaole Peak?" Deputy Peak Master Zhengqing showed off his cards and added, "Since the Peak Master is in seclusion, the elders meeting has decided that as long as you go out to fight, even if you lose, you will be rewarded with a small spirit.

If you win a battle, you will be rewarded with one medium-sized spiritual vein, and your contribution points will be 100,000 points. If you win a battle, you will be rewarded with two medium-sized spiritual veins, and your contribution points will be 200,000 points."

This is a big investment. A medium-sized spiritual vein can produce a golden elixir monk, and this does not include contribution points.

Some elders looked envious. Although they each have a medium-sized spiritual vein, what about their relatives and friends? When a golden elixir monk walks out, he is the overlord of the party.

Yan Zixiu didn't care about these spiritual veins and contribution points, but he couldn't show it. He just said calmly: "Reporting to the deputy peak master, my character is not to cause trouble and I am not afraid of trouble. Now that the challenge has come, I will meet with you.

It doesn’t matter if you know how to do it.”

"Okay!" Venerable Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he agreed. If Yan Zixiu really disagreed, he had no choice. Because the peak master also told him when he handed over the affairs before retreating, not to embarrass little friend Yan.

That's why the process of inviting Yan Zixiu to come was so polite.

On the other hand, seeing that Yan Zixiu seemed unmoved by the reward, Venerable Zhengqing was a little surprised: "If you have any other requests, feel free to put them forward."

"I hope to know the details of the other party. Only by knowing ourselves and the other side can we win every battle."

Venerable Zhengqing performed a water mirror technique, and saw a young female cultivator appear on the screen. She had a slender head and furrowed eyebrows, and her expression seemed to be both happy and angry: "This girl's name is Dongxue. She is in the Dzogchen state of Qi training, which is wonderful music."

She is the disciple of Master Feng. She has a profound knowledge of music. Therefore, her heart is high and her eyes are higher than the top."
