For more than half a month after that, Wang Lu and Wen Bao stayed at Rujia Inn (shamelessly), and settled down to work on writing.

After many protests failed, the proprietress didn't bother to care. She boiled some radishes and cabbage in plain water and fed them to these two useless scholars every day, which was regarded as fulfilling her duty as teammates.

In the past half month, disciples of the Lingjian Sect have been returning to the mountains from all over Cangxi Prefecture. Since Lingxi Town is a necessary transit point connecting the mountains and the mountains, the disciples cannot avoid meeting each other.

The disciples who have returned from the field are as if they were completely different from a year ago. Most of them will practice according to the instruction manual issued by the master. They will have a rare experience and will mature quickly. After this year's rapid growth,

, the self-confidence of these disciples also doubled, and it was difficult for them to greet each other when they met.

It is inevitable that they will show their sharpness and cause some friction. Of course, at the foot of Lingjian Mountain, a big fight is not enough, but it is inevitable to have an occasional quarrel. After all, almost everyone has had adventures in the past year, and the order that was originally determined on the mountain is

It has been disrupted for a long time. It is a good time to reshuffle the cards. Everyone is a little dissatisfied.

The Spirit Sword Sect is not the type of sect that has a strict hierarchy and wants to mark everyone's position, but each disciple will have a vague positioning of himself and others, who is stronger than him and who is weaker than him.

The attitude towards these people... is almost certain. Although the Spirit Sword Sect does not advocate this, it is probably a concept engraved in the bones of Kyushu people, and it is not easy to reverse.

In the past half month, Wang Lu had watched with great interest the countless quarrels between these little brats.

Of course, most of the quarrels are nothing more than bragging and gossiping. Some said that they defeated a high-level foundation-building cult demon last month, and some said that they killed an inner alchemy monster... and so on.

Some said that they had met the favor of the Xudan female cultivator, and they felt lingering and sad for a while.

The stories were exciting each time. Wang Lu just listened without saying a word. However, Wen Bao, who was determined to write a shocking and unique book, was scratching his head and overjoyed. He sighed repeatedly that indeed wisdom existed among the people, and he was doing it right.

I was worried about how to write those arrogant and cool jokes, but I never thought that I could listen to them endlessly while drinking tea in the hotel lobby...

Of course, in addition to listening to stories, there are also many useful gains. After a year of experience, these disciples also exchanged a lot of information with each other. For example, which senior brother and sister had an amazing adventure in which place, which makes people feel ashamed.

Sorry, any junior brother almost fell into the ruins of an ancient tomb. Thanks to the auspicious stars and heavenly signs, he did not die prematurely...

Besides gossip, there is comparison. Most of these disciples are overconfident and dissatisfied with each other. However, during the gossip transfer, through constant comparison with each other, some consensus has been formed. That is, after this year, a few people

His gains are indeed far better than those of others. In short, he is a superman. Although he and others are confident, they have no chance of winning against those supermen.

For example, a true disciple who was working on a manuscript in an inn was an example. Although he looked amiable and nothing special, and he spent most of his time at his desk writing. But for some reason, as long as he got a little closer, he could feel a stagnant aura.

, making people breathless and unable to help but bow their heads.

Fortunately, the disciples have gained a lot of knowledge in the past year, and after some discussion, they came to the conclusion: this is the legendary leadership temperament. During the year under the mountain, many high-ranking people he met had similar temperaments.

, such as emperors, generals, or heads of sects. So people speculated that Wang Lu had run some kind of organization this year. But no one could guess that before returning to the mountain, Wang Lu already had hundreds of people under his command.

Ten thousand believers, almost all the grassroots of the entire Ming Dynasty are under control

For a person with this kind of temperament, no matter how bad his own cultivation level is, he can't be much worse. What's more, Wang Lu has always been known as an expert in experience, whether it was the road to immortality back then, or the sky-breaking score increase in Xiao Qingyun.

The journey has made people believe that after this year of experience, his gains are definitely not small, and they are likely to exceed the limits of people's imagination... What's more, no matter how controversial he is when he enters the mountain, he is still a genuine disciple.

If you are an inner or outer person, there is no need to feel uncomfortable with him.

However, even Wang Lu was not ranked first on the list of supermen recognized by his disciples.

"If I have to say number one, it should be the true disciple Liuli Xian."

During the more than half a month that Wang Lu stayed at the inn, this was the sentence he heard the most.

As for how the woman nicknamed Xiao Liuli achieved such impressive achievements...

"Why? Because she single-handedly killed the twelve blood cloud demons in the Xueyun Gorge. Those twelve demons were all at the peak of foundation building and even at the realm of virtual core. She, a girl who was building foundation on the spot, beat them until they howled like ghosts and wolves. She didn't even have the power to fight.

The power to fight back... It is said that even the Shengjing Immortal Sect was shocked by this battle."

"Yes, yes, a few years ago, Fairy Qionghua appeared in Shengjing. She claimed that she could rival Xudan monks with her low-grade foundation-building cultivation. Then she proudly announced it to the world, and she seemed to be the leader of the younger generation.

It seems like it’s nothing big now.”

"Hey, how on earth do you use the Foundation Establishment and Void-Slaying Pill..."

The disciples sighed while discussing, but Wang Lu, who was listening quietly beside him, found it funny.

It's just a Xudan. What's there to say? Our Zhi Sect can easily pick out a dozen Xudan elders. But when they don't do things well and are slapped by me, how many of them dare to defect to other sects?

Why don't you continue it honestly, and then sigh with emotion that the thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness?

The Jiuzhou Continent is so vast that even the relatively remote Cangxi Prefecture is simply boundless for monks in the qi training and foundation building stages. There are countless monks on this land, and they have extremely different spiritual powers.

Root qualifications, wisdom and understanding, core skills, holding treasures... At the same level, the strength can vary ten to a hundred times, and there is no reference value at all.

It is also a virtual elixir. Even the most ineffective virtual elixir of the Spirit Sword Sect can easily defeat more than ten virtual elixirs like Ye Chuchen's. Not to mention other things, let's take a certain public official Mu Xiao as an example.

He is a standard Void Pill cultivator, neither strong nor weak, and there is no way that Qionghua Fairy from Shengjing Immortal Sect can compete with her with her low-grade Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Realm cannot represent strength, and apart from that, there is no universal standard that can concisely measure a monk's strength. This problem widely exists in all discussions among Spirit Sword disciples. Disciples often fall into chaos when talking to each other.

Among, for example...

"I defeated a high-grade foundation-building demon cultivator last month. What qualifications do you have to act rampant in front of me?"

"Isn't it amazing how high-grade foundation-building troops are? Junior sister Zhao Youxin and I defeated four high-grade foundation-building troops together. Is that twice as many as yours?"

"Your high-quality foundation building is not of good quality, but you have the nerve to show it off? I am a famous demon cultivator."

"I'm not weak here either. Even if my cultivation level is a little frivolous, the magic weapon I have is genuine."

"The demon weapons here are not weak either..."

"My side is two against four."

"Nonsense, as long as the Liangyi Sword Formation of our Spirit Sword Sect is used properly, the strength will not only be doubled, but those evil sects have evil intentions when they cooperate, and their strength is not one in ten. What you call two against four is actually only two against two-fifths."

"If ten don't save one, your mother"

"Your mother"

Then there was the endless biting. The debaters on both sides quickly escalated from the debate to personal attacks. Then, before they almost came to blows, the boss's wife grabbed her by the neck and threw them out one by one.

When they got up and walked back in disgrace, they found Wang Lu, who was sitting in the corner working on a manuscript, standing up.

"I said so."

As soon as Wang Lu opened his mouth, the lobby of the inn fell silent. Although he was not ranked the highest in the list of supermen, at this moment, he was undoubtedly the most famous, and his leadership qualities were so intimidating that people did not dare to disobey him.

"Don't you think you are stupid? You know that judging strength based on cultivation realm is unreliable, but you still insist on discussing strength based on cultivation realm every time."

The disciples were questioned by Wang Lu and murmured for a while. Finally, someone whispered: "There is nothing we can do. In addition to the realm of cultivation, it is even more unreliable to compete with other conditions. There is no particularly reasonable standard for evaluating strength."

Wang Lu snorted: "It's stupid. There is no standard. Just create one yourself. What's so difficult about it?"

The disciples looked at each other in confusion, feeling that Wang Lu's statement was original but absurd.

"How to create this?"

Wang Lu sighed, looked at the disciple who asked the question with an indescribable look of contempt, then walked to the middle of the hall, found a table, and took out a pen and paper.

"It's very simple, let's set the standard value first."

"Standard value?" The disciples asked curiously and quickly gathered around.

Wang Lu nodded and explained: "That is, first design a monk who is mediocre in all aspects in this realm. For example..."

Wang Lu said while drawing a little man on the paper.

The disciples asked in confusion: "Who is this?"

"This is Xiao Ming."

"...Xiao Ming?"

"Well, Xiao Ming is an ordinary monk who can be seen everywhere in the world of immortality. His cultivation is the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and his spiritual root is the seventh level three-attribute miscellaneous spiritual root. As a monk of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, he possesses low-level core skills.

, three medium-grade magic weapons, and more than ten low-grade elixirs... That's about it, such monks are probably the most common in Kyushu, right?"

The disciples next to him discussed it and nodded.

Indeed, although he is extremely shabby compared to the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, the disciples who are used to the sufferings of the people have deeply realized that shabbyness is the common situation in the world of immortality. Xiao Ming looks poor, but in fact he is even more poor than him.

There are also many monks who are reluctant to build the foundation. Because the spiritual root level is too poor, their lifespan will be exhausted when they build the foundation, and all their abilities are in the depletion stage. They are far from the young monk Wang Lu wrote on the paper.

In comparison. In addition, although mid-grade magic weapons are not uncommon, holding three of them is very good, and more than ten low-grade elixirs are the icing on the cake...

Wang Lu said: "Then we set Xiao Ming to the standard value, which means that a standard ninth-grade foundation-building monk should look like this. Then, we set another monk, for example, this is Xiao Gang."

As he spoke, Wang Lu drew another little man, which looked very similar to Xiao Ming.

"Xiao Gang is also a mediocre monk who can be seen everywhere in Jiuzhou Continent, but unlike Xiao Ming, he is at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment... As for the skills and equipment, I won't list them in detail. The principle is the same. So if Xiao Ming and Xiao Gang fight, basically

Shang Xiaogang's chance of winning is over 80%, is that okay?"

All the disciples nodded. Although they were in the same realm and were only one level apart, the difference didn't seem big. But since other conditions were basically the same, the gap at this level was huge. Taking into account various random factors, Xiaogang's chance of winning would be 80%.

above.

Wang Lu smiled, took up his pen and made some changes to the information under Xiao Ming's portrait: "Then let's assume that what Xiao Ming owns is not a medium-grade magic weapon, but a high-grade magic weapon. What will happen?"

The disciples were stunned for a moment when asked, and then started discussing, and the result of the discussion was...

"Then the odds of winning are probably 50-50."

Wang Lu nodded: "In other words, Xiao Ming, who has a high-grade magic weapon, is qualified to challenge the first-grade weapon, so..."

Wang Lu took up his pen and added a few strokes after the Ninth Grade of Foundation Establishment on Xiao Ming's information column, and it became: Ninth Grade of Foundation Establishment fl.
