The fear of cultivating immortals comes from insufficient firepower

Li Xiaofan was stunned by the sect leader's first words.

He did not expect that the sect leader would convene a meeting of elders to hold a competition between sect disciples.

I thought that these people would not want me to participate! I don't want to waste the talisman I worked so hard on just for a useless contest.

Just when Li Xiaofan was thinking, the third elder of Baizhang Peak spoke.

"Sect Master Qi, what is there to discuss? Didn't we hold disciple competitions every year in the past?"

"Let's just follow the old routine and let those outstanding disciples sign up and then organize a competition, okay?"

When the others heard this, a few nodded in agreement.

However, the sect leader shook his head.

"No, every competition in the past was attended by disciples from your four major peaks."

"As for the disciples from Medicine Refining Peak, Forging Peak, and Spirit Talisman Peak, they haven't participated in this kind of competition for many years."

After speaking, the sect leader gestured to the second elder with his hand.

"During this period, the second elder came to me. He said that except for the disciples from the four major mountain peaks, the disciples from the other three mountain peaks are somewhat unwilling to make progress."

"I spend a lot of time on refining alchemy and refining weapons every day, and I have gradually lost interest in cultivation. I have almost broken the pot."

After hearing this, an old man wearing Taoist robes and a tall, muscular middle-aged man opposite him lowered their heads.

These two people are the Peak Master of the Medicine Refining Peak and the Peak Master of the Forging Peak.

After looking at the two of them, the sect leader continued to speak.

"Therefore, the second elder proposed that in this year's disciple competition, the disciples from these three peaks should no longer be spectators. They should be allowed to participate, in order to stimulate these disciples' enthusiasm for cultivation."

"I think the second elder's suggestion is good, so I called everyone here to hear your opinions."

After hearing this, a group of Feng Clan elders began to think deeply. Some seemed to have something to say, but they were hesitant.

However, at this moment, Li Xiaofan raised his hand.

"Sect Master, this junior has something to ask!"

The sect leader did not refuse, but nodded and agreed with Li Xiaofan to continue.

"Seniors all know that whether it is refining alchemy, refining weapons or drawing talismans, it requires a lot of time to study and study. Therefore, such disciples do not have much time to practice fighting skills."

"So this type of disciples probably know in their hearts that their strength is really not as good as the disciples who specialize in immortality in other mountains. Even if they take the stage, they are likely to end in failure."

"Some people may even get hurt or make a fool of themselves if they lose miserably."

"So this junior would like to ask, what if these disciples know that they might make a fool of themselves if they go on stage, so they refuse to participate in the competition? Does the sect want to force these disciples to go on stage?"

After Li Xiaofan finished speaking, the sect leader and a group of elders also started thinking.

This is indeed true, everyone has self-respect.

Most of the disciples from the Medicine Refining Peak and the Forging Peak were assigned to these peaks because of their poor talents.

They may feel a little unhappy if the sect now forces them to participate in a competition.

So if these people fail and make a fool of themselves, will they cause harm to the disciples' hearts?

This is indeed a question worth thinking about.

However, the second elder stopped after hearing this. The reason why he spent so much time persuading the sect leader was of course to avenge the "one shot of revenge" he suffered last time at Lingfu Peak.

To put it bluntly, he wanted the sect leader to issue an order to force all the disciples on the mountain to participate in the competition.

In this way, his disciples from Hundred Swords Peak can legitimately defeat the three losers from Lingfu Peak.

Not only would this make Old Hu sad, but the other party would not be able to fight back.

He thought that the sect competition was open to the public, and if he lost, he could only blame himself for his lack of academic skills.

But now Li Xiaofan's words actually made the sect leader a little shaken. How could the second elder allow this?

"Li Xiaofan, what you said is pure nonsense."

"Yes, the strength of these disciples is indeed weaker than that of the disciples from the Four Mountains."

"But it's because of this that we need to encourage them to practice hard. If they can't accept failure at all, then there's no point in cultivating as immortals. It's better to go back and be mortals."

I have to say that what the second elder said makes sense.

The sect leader also nodded after hearing this.

"The second elder is right, cultivating immortality is extremely difficult. If you dare not face up to this failure, these disciples will be so disappointing."

When the old monkey heard this, his face suddenly showed a proud look.

But the next moment, the sect leader's words made his smile freeze again.

"Of course, what Li Xiaofan said must also be taken into consideration. If a disciple really doesn't want to compete and just concentrates on other things."

"But we force him to fight against a powerful disciple. This may trigger the disciple's sense of belonging to the sect. We must find a way."

After the sect leader finished speaking, everyone thought for a while.

The fourth elder of Baihua Peak spoke at this time.

"Sect Master, do you think this is okay? Set a threshold specifically for the disciples of these three peaks."

"As long as they participate in the competition and get a good ranking, we will give these disciples a reward. What do you think?"

The sect leader shook his head after hearing this.

"No, this is unfair to the other disciples of the Four Peaks. If they know that the disciples who are lower than themselves are rewarded, but I am not, then it is time for the disciples of the Four Peaks to be dissatisfied."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what the Peak Master said was right.

On the other side, Li Xiaofan looked at the group of elders.

I thought it was a waste of time here, so I might as well go back and practice.

Ever since, Li Xiaofan spoke again.

"Sect Master, actually this matter is not difficult to handle."

Sect Master: "Oh! Do you have a solution? Tell me quickly."

Li Xiaofan nodded: "Sect Master, actually you have been talking for a long time, but you just want to let the disciples of Sanfeng understand the importance of cultivation through fighting, and not to be too obsessed with alchemy and forging."

The sect master nodded again after hearing this. This is exactly what he thought.

Li Xiaofan continued: "In that case, let us simply let the three peaks of Lingfu Peak, Medicine Refining Peak and Forging Peak hold a separate competition."

"In this way, the disciples of Sanfeng will not feel that there is no hope of winning, and maybe they will be willing to compete."

The sect leader patted his thigh after hearing this.

"That's right! In this way, if the disciples from these three peaks get good rankings and the sect gives them rewards, the disciples from the other four peaks will have nothing to say!"

When the second elder heard this, he immediately quit.

If the four major peaks and the other three peaks don't compete together, wouldn't his plan be in vain?

"Sect Master, I think this matter is inappropriate. How can a sect hold two unrelated competitions? Isn't this a joke?"

However, the sect leader waved his hand.

"The second elder is worrying too much. Why should others speak out about our family's affairs?"

"This matter has been settled. The four major peaks and the other three peaks will hold their own competitions."

After speaking, the sect leader looked at the second elder and elder Sun respectively.

"Okay, everyone, listen to your orders. I now announce that the second elder will be solely responsible for the competition among the disciples of the four major mountain peaks."

"Including the registration of disciples, the determination of victory and defeat, and the selection of prizes, the second elder is responsible for everything."

"As for the competition between the disciples of Medicine Refining Peak, Forging Peak and Spirit Talisman Peak, Elder Sun will be solely responsible for it."

"It also includes the registration of disciples, as well as the determination of victory and defeat and the selection of prizes."

"In addition, other elders must have full authority to help the two elders complete this matter without making any mistakes."

After listening, all the peak masters and elders stood up and bowed to the sect leader.

"Follow the order of the suzerain."
