Chapter 30: The Eve of the Competition
In the next few days, Ling Ran never left the secret room again, concentrating on alchemy.
Perhaps because the day was approaching, Xiao Xiao came to visit him only a handful of times, and it was not until the last day that Xiao Xiao appeared with a somewhat tired face.
"Busy man, remember someone here?"
Ling Ran was studying Lao Yantou's notes, and Xiao Xiao finally appeared, and he couldn't help but be sarcastic.
Originally, he said that he would often come to point and point at him, but he didn't see anyone.
Xiao Xiao glanced at him, twisted his narrow shoulders and waist, and grinned,
"How's it going?
"You think it's eating, how can it be so fast, there is a process of digestion after eating. Why are you free to come here today?"
Xiao Xiao, what you think is too beautiful.
"Alas, Ling Tiancai seems to be like this. We're going to have a competition after tonight!"
Xiao Xiao said directly.
So fast!
Ling Ran was shocked, he didn't have any concept of time in the underground secret room, and these days passed in a flash. He really didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"There are so many seniors outside, I won't go up, cheer for you guys in the audience!"
He is very stressed, facing many masters of Danmen, winning or losing is related to the fate of the entire He Yaoju.
"You think I want to,"
Xiao Xiao rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen,
"Those old men of the Danmen are not stupid, they can only participate in the competition from the young juniors inside, and the age needs to be under twenty-five, and the beauty is to look at the strength of the entire sect from the juniors, in fact, it is to grasp the weakness of He Yaoju in this area. ”
Speaking of Danmen's actions, it was cautious, and it was also a kind of jealousy of He Yaoju's former strength, for fear that He Yaoju still had some alchemy masters hidden.
"They are cautious and ruthless, is there any information about the Danmen participants in the competition?"
Since you have to face it, then face it head-on. Before that, you need to know yourself and your opponent.
"We don't know who exactly will be filmed, but judging from the previous information, Danmen has been doing a good job in the cultivation of juniors, and there are many talents, and from now on, ......"
Xiao Xiao told Ling Ran everything she had learned.
Ling Ran thought secretly after hearing this.
The young generation of Danmen is strong, and there are many who are famous.
Wang Bufan, who entered Danmen at the age of seventeen and eight, studied under Jiang Yu, the fourth elder of Danmen, with outstanding talent, arrogant personality, and famous alchemy, which belonged to the kind that became famous at a young age.
Huo Ming, twenty-two years old, is also worshipping under Jiang Yumen, this person has a dull personality, and his talent seems to be average, but he is diligent and single-minded, and he is not interested in anything other than alchemy.
Liu Yan, twenty-two years old, belongs to the number one person of the younger generation of Danmen, and is the closed disciple of Long Qian, the great elder of Danmen, and the outside world has a good evaluation of him, he is humble and demeanor, and he has strength, which is not easy to deal with.
Roughly, Xiao Xiao guessed that these three people would be sent to fight, and the others were either inferior in strength or did not match their age.
"It seems that these three people are our number one mortal enemy, Xiao Xiao, how do they compare to you?"
It's not easy to grasp just how strength is, and it's more intuitive to compare it with Xiao Xiao.
"Well, Wang Bufan and Huo Ming are both below me, but this Liu Yan's strength is elusive, as I said, he is a difficult character to deal with. ”
"You don't have faith over him?"
Xiao Xiao is undoubtedly the strongest alchemist on He Yaoju's side, if Xiao Xiao can't do it, Ling Ran can't think of anyone else who can stand up.
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I'm not completely sure." ”
"Shall I compare myself to them?"
"You shouldn't be able to compare,"
Although it is ruthless, it is all considered from a practical point of view.
Ling Ran's exposure to alchemy was too short, if he was given time, Xiao Xiao believed that with time, he would definitely be able to become a top alchemy master with Ling Ran's qualifications.
"Then how is the strength of our other comrade-in-arms?
Ling Ran was listless, and Xiao Xiao's words directly hit Ling Ran's young heart.
"What comrade-in-arms? His name is He Youyu, the grandson of the Great Elder, not only is his martial arts cultivation outstanding, but he is also very good at alchemy, and he is a rare talent in He Yaoju! If He Yaoju had a few talents like Brother Youyu, he would not have come to this point. ”
Xiao Xiao praised a person like this, Ling Ran was the first time he had seen him, and her eyes lit up when she mentioned He Youyu.
This made Ling Ran a little uncomfortable,
"Such a powerful character, why haven't I heard of you before?"
"Brother Yu has been very low-key over the years, and few people know his true strength until now, and I only found out after I came back, when I left when I was a child, he was still a fat boy, but these days thanks to him helping me, otherwise I really don't know what to do. ”
Speaking of what is more, Xiao Xiao couldn't stop laughing.
Ling Ran always felt awkward when he heard this, so he changed the topic,
"Oh, got it, so who are we going to do tomorrow?"
Ling Ran's tone seemed a little strange, Xiao Xiao also noticed it, she thought Ling Ran was under pressure, and comforted,
"Ling Ran, you don't have to be too stressed, this is my He Yaoju business after all, if you can help me, I will be very happy, if the ending is destined to disappear He Yaoju, then it will disappear, I have dismissed all the clansmen who can be dismissed in the past few days, we are all ready!"
said so, but Xiao Xiao's heart must have thought that He Yaoju could win, and that He Yaoju could regain its former glory.
"We have a great chance of winning! Danmen only knows your strength, and I don't know how much more than I am, as long as I face Liu Yan at that time, then we have a good chance of defeating the remaining two!"
Ling Ran's words are right, now it is equivalent to the enemy is bright and I am dark, as long as Ling Ran is allowed to face Liu Yan, and our inferior horse is against the enemy's superior horse, and make full use of the story of Tian Ji horse racing, the probability of winning is extremely high.
"If you can do this, and then let Brother Yu meet the weaker Wang Bufan, then there is indeed a great chance of winning, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy?"
"Do you know the specific test method for tomorrow?"
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "For the sake of fairness, the specific method will be arranged by the city lord Luo Liuyun, and it will be announced tomorrow." ”
In this way, there is really no good way at the moment, but for the sake of fairness, the method will definitely not be biased, and the battle of tomorrow, it seems that the key lies in the arrangement of this man-to-hand match.
Ling Ran thought secretly in his heart.
"Don't worry too much, Ling Ran, I'm not in a hurry for you, I came here today to tell you about the situation, so that you can rest well today, and you will go to the battlefield tomorrow!"
Xiao Xiao looked relaxed, and in turn persuaded Ling Ran.
Ling Ran could see the burden in Xiao Xiao's heart at a glance, her face was so haggard and she pretended to be calm, this girl was probably tired these days.
Thinking about it, Xiao Xiao arranged him here on purpose, and he didn't really expect Ling Ran to improve by leaps and bounds in the past few days, and help He Yaoju win the competition in one fell swoop on the day of the competition.
It's more about finding a reason to settle him here and protect him.
These days, with Danmen's open guns and hidden arrows, He Yaoju is in danger, if he doesn't find a reason to lock Ling Ran up, Xiao Xiao is afraid that Ling Ran will do something for her to face Xie Jin like last time.
Ling Ran didn't know it before, but now he has a guess in his heart.
Xiao Xiao left after finishing speaking, and she still had a lot of things to deal with.
Ling Ran was a little sulky,
This girl didn't expect him to help at first, but she thought that it was more to protect herself.
I couldn't get angry again, and I thought of what Xiao Xiao had just mentioned.
I didn't get angry again, and finally I simply ran my mind cross-legged and calmed down.
Feel the aura swimming in your body, and your mood will be much calmer in an instant.
The aura is indeed wonderful, powerful, and infinitely useful, but the aura that can be stored in one's body is too little.
The current aura was deliberately absorbed by him when he left the Northern Wilderness, and he didn't dare to use it indiscriminately along the way, just in case of emergency.
But the amount is too small, and two True Fire Tricks can drain the spiritual energy in the body.
It is urgent to expand the capacity of physical strength and aura!
The essay only mentions the Qi Extraction Exercise, and then mentions a little bit about storing Spiritual Qi in the body, but only mentions these words slightly, and as for how to do it, there is no more in the future.
Ling Ran felt that this essay was definitely not over, and there must be many more to come, but for some reason it was indeed incomplete.
It seems that if you want to go down the road of cultivating immortals in the future, you must go to Zhongzhou.
But this is all later, for now, Ling Ran is still quietly cultivating, adjusting himself, and facing tomorrow's competition in the best state.
Xiao Xiao said that he didn't have to work hard, but it was not Xiao Xiao's final say.
......
I don't know how long it took, Ling Ran heard someone calling him outside the secret room, like Li Youzhi's voice.
Ling Ran pushed open the stone wall, and Qi Gaole and Li Youzhi stood at the door, both looking at him with smiles.
"What are the two seniors?"
Zigole said,
"Xiao Xiao has explained, and I will notify you to leave the customs at dawn. ”
Ling Ran agreed when he heard this, and lifted his spirits,
"There are two seniors. ”
And he walked away.
I didn't take two steps, and I heard Qi Gaole and Li Youzhi shouting behind him,
"Ling Xiaoyou, thank you. ”
Ling Ran paused, did not stop, and left directly.
Out of the pavilion, there were maids waiting outside, holding a stack of clothes,
"Miss has explained, please ask Young Master Ling to change your clothes and eat breakfast, and then the slave will take you to the front hall. ”
Ling Ran didn't ask much, changed his clothes according to the maid's arrangement, and had breakfast.
Wearing an azure gown on his body, the person was much more energetic, and the maid peeked a few more times.
Walking in the garden, there was no one to see, it seems that Xiao Xiao did send many people.
The maid led Ling Ran through a long corridor and came to the front hall, where He Yaoju held a meeting.
As soon as he entered the door, Ling Ran saw Xiao Xiao and some familiar or unfamiliar faces, but there was a young man who caught Ling Ran's attention, and Ling Ran guessed that this person was more than that.
Dressed in white, with high hair and polite style.
Seeing Ling Ran looking at him, He Youyu also smiled at him.
There was silence in the front hall, Xiao Xiao stood beside an old man who was old, and his eyes motioned for him to stand aside.
"Now that we've arrived......"
The old man spoke slowly.
