Tang Qingyuan expressed no objection to the candidate proposed by the elders, but in fact he could not express any opinions.

When entering the sword cave, you naturally have to take into account the interests of multiple parties. Balancing the interests of all parties is also one of the most important tasks of Tang Qingyuan, the head of the sect.

These elders have complex chains of interest behind them, including the interests of some forces in Zhongzhou they represent, as well as some of their more private interests. For example, what they said about Hu Xiu came from the Hu family at the foot of the mountain, and the elder Hu was also surnamed Hu, and the relationship between them was self-evident. As for Elder Xue, his Taoist partner came from the Luo family.

In fact, since the number of people entering the Sword Test Cave was set, everyone has already figured out who will eventually be included in this list. The principle of being selected is that no elder can return empty-handed and cannot take too much.

Every time the Qingling Sect enters the sword test cave, there are twenty places. According to convention, each of the four foreign elders will take away three places. The remaining eight are left for the head and the direct elders. The distribution ratio is determined, and then everyone will praise each other and don’t make things difficult for anyone. Everyone will be harmonious and solve the problem. How great!

Don’t think that the leader has taken less. After all, the organizer of the Sword Test Cave Trial is from Zhongzhou and can give Qingling Sect twenty places, most of which will be due to the relationship between the elders of the other surname.

However, the situation this time is a little different from usual. There are only fifteen places left for the twenty places this year. The other five have been given to Wulianggu by Tang Qingyuan, which is the price for Tang Xiaoguo and others to enter the ruins. Tang Qingyuan sat there today and did not speak, actually because he wanted to see the attitude of the elders. He wanted to know whether the elders planned to let Tang Qingyuan pay this price himself or everyone would bear it together.

One or two quotas are actually not important. What Tang Qingyuan wants to see is the attitude of the elders towards this matter, or the attitude of some of the big guys behind them towards him, Tang Qingyuan.

The four elders talked nonstop all the time, but seeing that the number of candidates they recommended was more than ten, Elder Qingyan couldn't sit still.

"That child Chen Wanhui has actually refined the ninth level of Qi! He has only been in the school for more than three years, right?" The person who spoke was Elder Ning.

Elder Chen continued: "The child got some benefits when he went out last time, and his cultivation level increased very quickly, but he was still a young man's character, so he was a little bit reluctant to enter the sword test cave. Although his cousin Chen Wantong's cultivation level was slightly lower than his, he was a mature and persistent person, so he was a suitable candidate.

At this time, Elder Qingyan found an opportunity to speak: "The Chen Wantong from the Internal Affairs Hall? If his cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining can enter the Sword Test Cave, wouldn't it make people laugh at me as if there was no one in the Qingling Sect?"

Elder Chen shook his head: "Elder Qingyan's words are not bad. What you need to try the sword cave is not only cultivation. Mindness, combat power, and even fortune are indispensable. Besides, my Qingling Sect is arrogant to Dongyu, so how can a slut dare to laugh at me?"

Qing Yan's voice became more and more sharp: "The quota is limited. If he could go to the trial, how can we explain to other disciples?"

Elder Chen chuckled: "My junior sister is so serious. What an eye-opener who dares to care about you, do you have to explain?"

"Please be careful with your words, Elder Chen!" Qing Yan didn't accept his trick.

"Who is Elder Qingyan planning to recommend to go to the Sword Cave?" Elder Chen's face was calm.

Elder Qingyan widened his eyes: "Old Lintou must keep the quota for him, right?"

"That's natural." Elder Chen had no objection to this.

"The two Qi Refining Boys in My Sword Movement Hall must have quotas?" Qing Yan said again.

"This... it's up to the head. I don't think they have a reason to go there. If you say Tian Sheng goes to the sword cave, I would agree with it." Elder Chen received it.

"You know that Tian Yan has built a foundation, but you still ask what she does! I only talk about the quota of the two boys under my sect." Qing Yan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Seeing this situation, Elder Xue, who was standing beside him, quickly got up to smooth things out: "I think you don't have to argue. We have already nominated twelve people just now. Add to the three people that Elder Qingyan said just now, aren't it just enough to get fifteen people? Why not just make up like this?"

If Qingyan was a little afraid of Elder Chen, she would not be sympathetic to Elder Xue: "If you say you are determined, you will be determined. Elder Xue is so capable!"

Elder Xue narrowed his eyes: "Where does Elder Qingyan get angry?"

"You all mentioned three people, but you still have to count the old head Lin as what I proposed?" Qing Yan slapped the table.

"If you don't want Lao Lin to go, tell the leader, why are you trying to get angry at me?" Elder Xue is not a good-looking lamp.

Qing Yan snorted heavily: "When did I say I didn't want Lao Lin to go? If he doesn't go, wouldn't you go for him?"

"Cough! Cough!" Tang Qingyuan had to speak out. If this continues, these people will have a tendency to take action. If a regular meeting of the sect and the hall is turned on, the joke will be huge.

"Elders don't have to argue. After all, it's all for the sect. Why hurt your personal friendship?" Tang Qingyuan put on a hat, and the elders calmed down for the time being.

Tang Qingyuan smiled and said calmly, but only he knew what he was thinking.

The four elders did not leave any face for him this time.

Lao Lintou's quota cannot be defeated and no one can take it. The two boys in the Sword Hall can be said to be representative of the combat power of the Qingling Sect's Qi Refining Stage disciples, and the Qingling Sect is still pointing at them to serve. Everyone knows that these three people must enter the Sword Test Cave. Then there are only twelve places left. Now the four elders have successfully arranged the twelve people, each of whom has killed three places, without any intention of concession. In the end, they would rather find an eighth-level Qi Refining Stage to make up the numbers, and no one said that they would leave half for Tang Qingyuan.

Tang Qingyuan knew that this was the elders' dissatisfaction with him lifting the lid of Wuliang Valley, and it was also a disguised warning from the Zhongzhou forces to themselves.

Tang Qingyuan had to admit defeat when his arm was twisting his thighs. But if you hit me with such things, you must give me a sweet date, right? Otherwise, who would be willing to play with you? Your eighth level of Qi refining is the negotiation bottom line left for me, right?

The head of Tang Da was familiar with this kind of thing and saw through the final outcome at a glance. As expected, it was still as boring as ever!

But life is like a play, and I still have to accompany them to perform.

Tang Qingyuan took a sip of tea: "I recently heard that there is a disciple with good cultivation, and he is mature and persistent. Oh, he is even older than the eighth level of Qi refining that Elder Chen mentioned just now. I think it would be nice to ask him to try it."

"Oh? I wonder which sect leader is talking about?" The anxious Elder Hu asked.

Tang Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Qian Yang!"

"Qian Yang?" The four elders looked at each other, and all saw confusion in the eyes of others.

In the end, Elder Hu's spiritual consciousness swept over the thick file, then picked out one from it, looked carefully, and then frowned and handed the paper to Elder Chen.

The paper was Qian Yang's information. The four elders circulated one by one, but no flowers were seen from it.

"Twenty-eight years old, thirteen years old, the ninth level of Qi refining! This..." Elder Chen smacked his lips: "This is old enough, but..."

Tang Qingyuan smiled softly: "Don't Elder Chen likes to be mature? This is quite suitable."

It’s not for the elders to be surprised. Qian Yang’s experience is really too ordinary. It’s really not slow to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in thirteen years. After all, it’s normal to have more than ten or twenty years on a bottleneck card. But this speed is definitely not fast, and it’s not close to outstanding disciples or anything else.

"I have been in the outer gate for thirteen years and am considered an old disciple. Why have I never heard of this person before?" Elder Hu showed doubts.

"Actually, I have never heard of this person before. It must be too ordinary!" Tang Qingyuan naturally would not admit that he had tampered with this resume.

"Oh!" Elder Ning, who was standing beside him, suddenly realized: "Is the head teacher looking for a successor for Lao Lin, right?"

After his words, the others also realized that if they were looking for a successor for Lao Lintou, they would really have no reason to object.

"So that's it. It's hard to say whether Lao Lin can participate in the next trial. It's true that he should find another guide." Elder Xue was speaking.

Tang Qingyuan knew that these people would think so, but he didn't show any expression on his face: "I just have this idea, but I still have to see his performance this time first, and also ask him for his personal opinion."

The elders nodded and said yes, but they didn't agree. When the guide said that it was necessary to respect personal opinions, you can't help yourself. Are you willing to run around and try the sword cave?

"But, this will make Chen Wantong wronged, and I have to ask Elder Chen to comfort him with kind words." Tang Qingyuan looked at Elder Chen.

Elder Chen looked embarrassed: "Wantong has a straightforward personality. If he knew that someone had robbed the quota, he would be afraid that he would not be patient."

Qing Yan, who was standing beside him, choked out with a mouthful of tea: He just said he was mature and steadfast, but now he has changed his personality and is so straightforward. It’s not that shameless, right?

Elder Chen's bottom line was obviously not something that Qing Yan, a younger generation elder, could have predicted. After saying a word, there was no other expression on his face, as if this was the case.

Tang Qingyuan didn't care: "Wantong didn't want to bear it, so let him go to Qian Yang. If that boy named Qian couldn't even pass this level, don't mention any guides. I, Qingling Sect, can't afford to lose that person!"

Elder Chen nodded in agreement. The guide was of great importance and was closely related to the interests of everyone present, so it cannot be determined casually.

Thinking of this, Elder Chen couldn't help but lower his head and carefully studied Qian Yang's resume. After a long time, Elder Chen sighed: "This person named Qian Yang can't see any highlights except the old man!"
