Zhao Yan felt that he had been walking between the second and third doors for a particularly long time.

At least it was much longer than walking among those Qi cultivators.

Although Zhao Yan was confident that he could defeat any of them, it was indeed a little uncomfortable to be stared at by the unkind eyes of more than a dozen foundation building stage monks.

Especially since there were two powerhouses in the late stage of foundation building among them, Zhao Yan felt that they all wanted to stop Zhao Yan at the moment.

Zhao Yan knew that this was the xenophobia in their hearts again.

There is also a possibility that Zhao Yan was accompanied by Qi Xingyang and the three of them, which made them jealous.

You must know that in the eyes of the Zhuji monks, the Jindan monks have a very high status, and the people who can let the three Jindan monks accompany them to meet the patriarch must be extremely valued people.

And such a person, but a stranger, they will definitely develop a jealous psychology.

They still didn't know that Zhao Yan came from the outside world, and if they knew, they would definitely be even more dissatisfied.

Finally walked through the second courtyard, and when Zhao Yan raised his feet and was about to step into the third door, he was stopped by Qi Xingyang.

"Wait a minute!" Qi Xingyan said, and a token had already appeared in his hand.

The token is golden yellow, resembling a Chinese knot, and the character "Qi" is engraved in the center of the token.

Qi Xingyan shook the token at the gate, only to hear the sound of "hum", Zhao Yan found that the portal in front of him was like opening a curtain of light, and the scene in front of him immediately became clearer.

Zhao Yan was a little surprised, just now he was only paying attention to those foundation building monks, but he ignored this wide open portal, and there was actually a layer of enchantment blocking it.

"Hahahaha ......"

There was a burst of laughter from behind him.

"Where did the soil buns come from, I don't even know that the family has enchantment protection?"

"I don't think I'm from the countryside, I haven't seen the world, and I'm okay, but my brain seems to be a little bad. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, he is accompanied by three elders, can he be an ordinary person?"

"Three elders are amazing, have you forgotten the last time you came?"

"That's right, the person who came last time seems to have been driven away again!"

......

Zhao Yan didn't care about these people's discussions, but the "person last time" they said aroused Zhao Yan's interest.

"See, someone else has been here before me, who could it be?"

"Mr. Zhao, you can go in!" Qi Xingyan said as he looked at Zhao Yan, who was a little stunned.

"Uh...... Thank you!" Zhao Yan thanked very politely, and at the same time raised his foot.

At this time, it was the turn of the foundation building monks to be surprised.

They actually heard Qi Xingyan call Zhao Yan Mr.?

It seems to be very respectful, but this has never happened.

Even the person who came here last time only brought him over, but his attitude was like facing a junior.

"This person seems to be very different this time, huh?"

"What if it's different? Could it be that the patriarch will still keep him?"

"Go and tell Master Xingyu and Brother Chan. ”

"There's no need, it's just a child!"

"What's the point, don't you see the attitude of the elders towards him?

"Yes, maybe he may take the place of the two, so let's go and inform them!"

......

Zhao Yan couldn't hear the discussions of these people outside, because he had already entered the third courtyard.

It was completely different from what he imagined, there were no Jindan monks in this third courtyard, but this made Zhao Yan relax a lot.

When he faced those foundation building monks before, his pressure was big enough, and if there was another group of golden pills, then he wouldn't be even more unbearable.

In fact, according to Zhao Yan's previous personality, there should not be such emotions.

However, this time is different from the past, and the world he is in now is completely a closed space, and everything is under the control of others.

In the outside world, no matter how crazy you are, it's a big deal to throw your hands and run, but here it's different, no matter where you go, it's under the control of others.

Therefore, even the most arrogant person must recognize and act, and if he still shows arrogance in this situation, it is stupid.

Therefore, since Zhao Yan saw Qi Xingyan and them, he has always been humble and polite.

At this moment, directly opposite Zhao Yan is an antique building, which is actually the main hall of the family.

Before he even entered the door, he could already feel a powerful aura rushing from inside the main hall.

It's just that this powerful aura is not so sharp, and it is the power that naturally exudes from the strong man.

From this aura, Zhao Yan could judge that there were not just one or two Jindan monks in this, but at least more than five.

"Squeak!" The door of the main hall opened, and when Zhao Yan saw the scene inside the main hall, it really confirmed his inference.

There were actually seven strong people in the whole one, all of them were Jindan, and in Zhao Yan's sense, these seven Jindan monks were all stronger than Qi Xingyan and the three of them.

Sitting in the middle of the main hall is an old man with white hair and deep eyes, at first glance, it is still the old fairy who is still the fairy wind and bones in the TV.

On each side of the main hall sat three strong men, on the left was a black-faced old man and two old women, and on the right were two middle-aged men and a young woman with the appearance of a beautiful woman.

As soon as he opened the door, when the old man saw Zhao Yan, he was smiling, and until Zhao Yan came to the center of the main hall, he was still full of spring breeze.

The six people on both sides were not as friendly as the old man, and they looked at Zhao Yan expressionlessly, as if they had a lot of questions.

As soon as Zhao Yan walked to the center of the main hall, he immediately clasped his fists with both hands and said to the old man: "Junior Zhao Yan, I have seen Senior Qi!"

"Good, good!" The old man said three good words in a row.

Whether it was Zhao Yan himself, the six people on either side, or the three Qi Xingyan standing at the door, they didn't understand what the three "good" words of the old man meant.

"What's the environment outside now?" the old man didn't say a word, and asked directly about the situation outside.

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment at this question, and then replied respectfully: "Now the outside environment is gradually getting better, but compared with here, there is still a big gap, I think it will take at least twenty years to catch up here." ”

Zhao Yan knew what the old man's problem meant, of course, it was the problem of the cultivation environment.

Since twenty years ago, the earth's heaven and earth environment has been constantly improving, and twenty years have passed, and now the outside has allowed the existence of strong foundations.

However, if you want to achieve an environment that can withstand the strong people of Jindan, it is definitely not something that can be done in twenty years, Zhao Yan's answer is a bit exaggerated.

"But I think it won't take 20 years. ”

"Fifty years ago, when our people went outside to purchase supplies, the outside environment was not yet able to cultivate normally, but now they have allowed the existence of the foundation building powerhouse, and the change is not unpleasant. ”

Obviously, the old man had already seen Zhao Yan's cultivation, and Zhao Yan was not curious about this.

As an old man at the peak of Jindan, he couldn't see that Zhao Yan's cultivation was a strange thing.

However, the old man's words also confirmed Zhao Yan's previous guess that these people did go out to buy supplies regularly.

What made Zhao Yan wonder was why it was so long once in fifty years.

"Before, it should have been the seniors who gave an order to Qi Xingyi's three seniors to allow the juniors to enter the small world, right? ”

"The younger generation came here to retrieve those national treasures in China, and I don't know if the seniors are willing to return them to the younger generation. ”

Zhao Yan is really bold, he just said a few words and started asking for things?

"Bold!" The middle-aged man with long hair sitting in the first seat on the right scolded, "As soon as you come here, you ask for something, where do you think this is?"

"Senior, I'm just here to retrieve something that belongs to Huaxia, what's wrong?" Zhao Yan asked in surprise.

"How do you know that we are not from Huaxia?" the long-haired man continued to ask.

"Oh?" Zhao Yan got the information he wanted to know, so he continued to ask: "May I ask you, senior, you said that you are from Huaxia, when did you enter here?"

As soon as Zhao Yan's question came out, the long-haired man's eyes looked at the old man on the main seat, and he wanted to ask if this question could be answered.

The old man said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much about those broken copper and iron, I invited Xiaoyou to come, but in fact, I have other plans." ”

If the people of the Dishanggu family heard this, they didn't know how to feel, the heirloom of their family was actually called broken copper and iron by the old man.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man with long hair said something strange to the old man, but he no longer spoke, but withdrew his emotions and sat down directly.

Zhao Yan was curious about the old man: "Does the seniors want the juniors to come here for another purpose?"

"Haha, we'll talk about this later, I'll introduce you to the six elders now. ”

The old man stood up directly from the main seat, walked to the black-faced old man on the left, and said with a smile: "This is the great elder of my Qi family, Qi Tongshan. ”

Zhao Yan looked at the black-faced old man, it was really black, if he didn't have a Chinese face, Zhao Yan would really think that he was inhuman.

However, since the old man introduced it so solemnly, and the other party was still the great elder of the Qi family, of course Zhao Yan had to respect him.

"Zhao Yan has seen the Great Elder!" Zhao Yan said with a respectful fist clench.

"No need to be polite!" Qi Tongshan responded seriously.

Zhao Yan doesn't care about Qi Tongshan's attitude, everyone has their own personality, maybe people's personalities are like this.

Immediately afterwards, the old man continued to introduce the second elder, the second old woman sitting on the left: "This is Qi Ying, the second elder of our Qi family. ”

......

In this way, the old man introduced the remaining four elders one by one.

The third elder Qi Jingyan, the fourth elder Qi Tonglin, and the fifth elder Qi Tonghai.

When he introduced the Sixth Elder, that is, the beautiful young woman, Zhao Yan finally saw a smiling face.

"What a handsome young man, I didn't expect that the place outside that hides dirt and dirt can give birth to an extraordinary boy like you!" said Sixth Elder Qi Jiaying with a stunning smile on her face.

Zhao Yan could tell the authenticity of this smiling face.

Qi Jiaying's surprise is true, but happiness is not the original intention.

As for why she is like this, it is unknown.

Zhao Yan couldn't see any joy from the six elders, but he found their attitude towards his arrival.

Although the three old men on the left did not express their welcome, they did not show rejection, while the two middle-aged men on the right were very displeased with Zhao Yan.

As for this young woman, Zhao Yan is really not sure, the so-called woman's heart is like the sea deep, not to mention that the other party is still a woman in the realm of Jindan.

After the introduction, the old man returned to his main seat, glanced at everyone with a smile, and finally said to Zhao Yan: "In three months, we will send some people to participate in the Immortal Gate Grand Competition once every fifty years, and the old man hopes to invite you to participate on behalf of my Qi family?"

"What?!" everyone at the scene shouted these two words in unison, including Zhao Yan.
