"What, you want to participate too?" asked Xuantian in surprise.

"Yes, my cultivation is the same as Zhan Chen's, and the elder assessment held today does not limit the participants, so I should also have the opportunity to participate in the future. Zhou Ziru replied calmly.

Xuantian had listened to his words, and his face became even more ugly. If it was chaotic and the rules were all messed up, he knew that with Xuan Haoran's opening, the elder selection system that had maintained the Xuandao Sect for thousands of years would be changed.

At this time, Xuan Haoran said on the side: "Senior Brother Tianzeng, since Zhou Ziru wants to participate in the assessment, how about letting him try?"

"Okay then! Your sect master has spoken, what else can I do?" Xuan Tianzeng's words smelled of broken jars.

At this time, Zhan Chen had already retreated to the audience, and Su Yun immediately stepped forward and said with concern: "Zhan Chen, it was so dangerous just now, I have been nervous for you for a long time!"

Zhan Chen looked at her and smiled: "Yun'er, do you see that I came back unsafely, and I still won?"

"Well, that's fine, we're going to go back tonight and celebrate. ”

At this time, Xuan Tianzeng's voice came from the center of the viewing platform: "Kong Mengda, you go up and face off against Zhou Ziru." ”

Zhan Chen couldn't help but look at the personable and calm Zhou Ziru standing in Taichung again, and muttered, "Who is Zhou Ziru this time? ”

Su Yun on the side heard this, and said: "I heard it just now, this Zhou Ziru is the leader of the younger generation among the elite disciples in the sect today, and ah, he is the same age as you!"

"Oh?" Zhan Chen looked at her in surprise and asked, "He's the same age as me?"

"Well, yes, you say it's a coincidence?"

Zhan Chen couldn't help but be silent, he had gone through a lot of hardships along the way, and there were many adventures to accompany him, so he had achieved what he is today, it can be said that before he met Zhou Ziru, he had never met a person like himself, who could cultivate to the realm of Emperor Wu at such an age, but he didn't expect that today, he met a genius here who could be comparable to himself.

At this time, the game had already begun, and standing opposite Zhou Ziru was a burly, powerful middle-aged elder, and the aura emanating from his body was even more dangerous than that Feng Tianming that Zhan Chen had just fought against. Obviously, Xuantian didn't want the same thing to happen again, so he arranged an unusually powerful opponent for Zhou Ziru.

And the strange thing was that Zhou Ziru, who was standing opposite Elder Kong Mengda, was still calm and chic, and Zhan Chen couldn't find any nervous look on his face at all.

The two took out their swords and confronted each other like this, looking at each other, Kong Mengda saw that he had not stepped forward for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Zhou Ziru, why don't you do it yet? Do you still let the old man wait for you?"

Zhou Ziru actually gave him a sword salute politely, and said with a smile: "Then Elder Kong, the disciple is offended!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come on!" Elder Kong was obviously a cheerful person, and he couldn't stand Zhou Ziru's sour energy, so he couldn't help scolding.

"Flying a sword!" Just as Elder Kong's words fell, Zhou Ziru's long sword suddenly came out of its sheath.

All the people only saw a miserable white cold light flash, and then an astonishing scene happened, on the arm where Kong Mengda grabbed the sword, a layer of white frost gradually spread, and finally wrapped his entire right arm, and formed a thick layer of ice.

"Is this the power of the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique?" Zhan Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and with the sword just now, he was able to capture the trajectory of this Zhou Ziru's sword. If he wanted to avoid that sword, he had to react in the shortest possible time, and he thought to himself that it would be difficult to do so without using the "Eye of the Dao" supernatural power. So, once again, I took a deep look at Zhou Ziru, who was still an elegant and smiling appearance, and had a hunch that this peer might be a strong competitor for me in the future.

At this time, Kong Mengda was horrified to find that his entire arm had been frozen by the cold, and he couldn't move a bit. Although he didn't want to admit the fact that he had failed, he had to sigh faintly and say, "I'm defeated!"

Only then did the audience realize that the powerful Elder Kong was actually defeated by Zhou Ziru with a sword, and there was another uproar, and some of the fans present even let out exaggerated screams, constantly shouting Senior Brother Zhou's name.

Zhou Ziru turned his head and smiled gently at these women, which was simply coquettish.

At this time, Xuan Tianzeng's old thing's face became more and more difficult to look at, and he did not announce the results of the game for a long time. At this time, Xuan Haoran reminded on the other side: "Senior Brother Tianzeng, it's time for you to announce the result!"

"I declare...... Zhou Ziru passed the assessment. Xuantian had struggled to squeeze these words out of his mouth, and then he left everyone behind and walked away, causing several people sitting in the elder's seat with him to be at a loss and look at each other.

Xuan Haoran looked at his distant back, shook his head with a secret smile, and muttered: "Senior brother, senior brother, you always obstruct the reform plan I proposed, your temperament should also be changed, the times are changing, our Xuandao Sect must also make changes, Chen Chen Xiangyin will only be hesitant." ”

Xuan Tianzeng's sudden departure made the assessment ceremony seem unsatisfactory, and Xuan Haoran had to walk to the center of the viewing platform again and said to everyone: " Ladies and gentlemen, today is a festive day, as the sect master, I am proud to be able to witness the birth of two new young elders in our sect, and I also want to announce to you that this kind of examination is just the beginning, it is an attempt, in the future, we will more liberalize the sect elder assessment system, no longer only promote elders based on qualifications and cultivation, but for all elite disciples, everyone work hard, maybe in the near future, you will also stand on this viewing platform!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a long burst of applause and cheers on the field, and many people who had stayed in the elite disciple stage for a long time were eager to try.

And through this assessment, the names of Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru also completely resounded throughout the Xuandao Sect, the same youth, the same outstanding strength, the two of them were praised by the people in the sect as the Xuandao double pride.

Let's say that Zhan Chen passed the elder's assessment and was summoned by Xuan Haoran again. After the two of them finished saluting, Xuan Haoran asked, "Zhan Chen, do you have any specialties, such as alchemy or refining?"

Zhan Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Sect Master, I am good at refining pills. ”

"Oh, that's great!" Xuan Haoran was overjoyed, the talents of alchemy were in high demand no matter which sect they went to. So he hurriedly said: "Either I write a letter of recommendation, and you go to Nanhua Peak Chu Danqing Lao'er to perform your duties?"

"Zhan Chen is at the disposal of the sect master. ”

"Okay, that's it, you can go to the House of Elders tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, Zhan Chen came to the House of Elders, and the elders there handed him an identity jade plate and a Qiankun bag. When he opened the Qiankun bag, he immediately saw this month's Yulu: 50,000 top-grade Yuan Stones, and ten bottles of the fifth-grade top-grade pill Kunyun Dan used to assist in cultivation, just enough for a month.

After putting these things away, another disciple stepped forward and took him to the top of Nanhua Peak, where the spiritual mist was shrouded, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the birds and beasts were heard crying, and it was a good place with beautiful scenery.

The disciple took him directly to the place where the elder lived, and saw that there were several elegant courtyards in the place where the mountains and rivers were by. The guards introduced him to several vacant rooms in turn. In the end, Zhan Chen chose a courtyard adjacent to the stream, thinking that there were mountains and rivers here, and Su Yun would definitely like it.

The guards also told him many things, such as that after becoming an elder, he could go to the inner gate to accept disciples, and an ordinary elder could accept up to ten apprentices, and these apprentices could be responsible for taking care of the elders' daily life, serving the elders' servitudes, etc., and of course, they could also not accept apprentices, and simply asked the sect to assign a few guards to themselves every month to take care of some chores such as the courtyard.

When Zhan Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was not the kind of person who was used to being taken care of, nor was he the kind of person who liked to accept apprentices to show off, in his opinion, accepting apprentices would only delay his cultivation time in vain.

As for the courtyard, leave it to Su Yun, anyway, she likes to fiddle with those flowers and plants or take care of housework in her spare time, if a few people do all this, she is not happy.

After calling the guard disciple who was acting as a guide away, Zhan Chen rushed to Yingke Peak and picked Su Yun back. Sure enough, when Su Yun saw this beautiful courtyard, her eyes immediately flashed with joy, and she immediately took care of it up and down.

Zhan Chen looked at her figure shuttling between the flowers and rockeries like a warbler, and couldn't help laughing: "How is it? wife, are you quite satisfied with this place?"

"Well, Zhan Chen, you are so good, I am proud to have a husband like you!" Su Yun said excitedly.

"By the way, have you done anything to join the Xuandao Sect?"

"It's done, according to my cultivation, I can only be an inner disciple first. ”

"Yun'er, it doesn't matter, with your husband here, I dare to guarantee that in a few years, I will be able to make you an elite disciple!" Zhan Chen said confidently, he would refine the Nine Transformation Golden Pill and help Su Yun break through.

Su Yun glanced at him and said, "You think I'm just like you, a cultivator?

"I don't care—my cultivation speed won't slow. Zhan Chen immediately lost his confidence.

Su Yun smiled slightly and said, "Husband, I know that you are good to me, but do you know? I don't want to be a drag on you, if that's the case, it's better not to be with you from the beginning?"

Zhan Chen listened to her words, silent, with mixed feelings in his heart, he understood that Su Yun was making a sacrifice in order to be with him. Yes, Su Yun is right, if he wants to be distracted to help Su Yun improve his cultivation, it will inevitably consume a lot of his time and energy, and it will inevitably affect his progress to become stronger.

"Okay, I'm now a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Xuandao Sect, and I can cultivate myself, and with such a good cultivation environment, at least it's much stronger than the Lanfeng Sect, isn't it?

Zhan Chen listened to her half-joking, and finally smiled, and said, "Yun'er, it's good to have you!"

The two settled down, and Zhan Chen thought that he should go to see his top boss Chu Danqing immediately, because from tomorrow onwards, he would have to work under this great elder, if he didn't leave a good impression on this big Buddha, then as long as the other party gave you a little little shoes to wear, you wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

So, he left the house again and went straight to the Purple Smoke Hall where Chu Danqing was, still wondering as he walked, "What kind of person is this Great Elder?"
