The Great Elder said, "Little apprentice, it seems that you are really a foodie!"

Shen Lingyue was not ashamed, but smiled proudly: "That's natural, eating is also a big life pursuit of apprentices!"

The Great Elder asked again, "Then what other pursuits do you have in life besides eating?"

Shen Lingyue said half-truthfully: "Climbing the peak of martial arts can be regarded as one!"

The Great Elder said, "Little apprentice, your goal is not bad, but it is also very difficult!"

Shen Lingyue said while packing up the ingredients: "Yes, but as long as I work hard towards the goal and strive for it, then I will not have any regrets for my life." As for whether it can be done in the end, it doesn't matter at that time. ”

The Great Elder didn't expect Shen Lingyue to have such an enlightenment.

And it was something I never thought about.

At this moment, the Great Elder's perception of Shen Lingyue rose to a new height.

Fang Yuan saw that the master and the little junior sister were talking about life pursuits again, so she also interjected with a look of anticipation: "Master, have you never asked about the life pursuit of your apprentice?"

The Great Elder said, "Do you also have a life pursuit?"

Shen Lingyue burst out laughing, she didn't expect that her cheap master still had the potential to make cold jokes.

Fang Yuan glanced at Shen Lingyue, pouted and said, "Master, you are partial, as soon as the little junior sister came, you forgot about the well-behaved and clever Bing Xue smart apprentice who has served you for many years." ”

The Great Elder shuddered.

It's not so much that it's clever and smart, but that it's more appropriate to be naughty and quirky.

Shen Lingyue watched the interaction between the master and apprentice from the side, very envious, she had no such experience in her two lives.

Originally, there was already someone who was really good to her, but unfortunately she had to leave again.

Shen Lingyue sighed secretly in her heart, and stopped thinking about these things.

Between talking and laughing, Shen Lingyue had already prepared everything.

This time, Shen Lingyue did not use Lingxi Tianquan water to cook hot pot.

Just put a drop in it, which was also done by Shen Lingyue during the period of caution.

But even if it's just a drop, it's still Lingxi Heavenly Spring Water after all, and the things that come out of it still have a strong aroma, which makes people's appetite move.

The three of them ate at the Great Elder's residence.

Originally, the Great Elder didn't care much about eating, as long as he could satisfy his hunger.

But after eating Shen Lingyue's hot pot, I couldn't help but want to eat the second and third bites, so I ate until I was full and then put down my chopsticks.

Fang Yuan and Shen Lingyue are similar.

After eating, Shen Lingyue stretched comfortably.

After packing up, the three of them chatted.

When the Great Elder asked about Shen Lingyue, Shen Lingyue told her what she had thought of a long time ago, her identity was all arranged in advance and could withstand investigation, so she was not afraid that the Great Elder would send someone to investigate.

Next, Shen Lingyue asked about Da Bi, and the Great Elder sighed, "Our Xianxia Sect has indeed been getting worse in recent years. ”

"As a result, fewer and fewer disciples are able to enter Asahi Academy. ”

"You know that those who can be in the Asahi Academy today are the pride of the sky, and the more you enter, the stronger the sect will be. Then the more people will come to sign up. ”

Shen Lingyue said: "But I saw a lot of people coming to sign up outside the mountain gate!"

The Great Elder smiled bitterly: "There are many people who come to sign up, there are no talented people in it at all, first of all, our Xianxia Sect has not been able to attract talented people to sign up." ”

Shen Lingyue understands that this is a dead cycle, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.

However, Shen Lingyue still had some doubts in his heart, the Xianxia Sect was also a sect that had been inherited for thousands of years, and it had a glorious time.

Although it was later defeated, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the heritage should still exist.

And I heard that the situation of the Xianxia Sect a few years ago was still good.

How did it get to where it is now in just a few years?

The Great Elder glanced at Shen Lingyue and said, "Originally, you just entered the sect, you shouldn't have told you about this, but who made you look good, I will tell you about it!"

Shen Lingyue's head is full of black lines, and she has a high appearance, and she still has this privilege? It turns out that the Great Elder is also a beauty controller.

I only heard the Great Elder say: "Actually, this is not a secret, you should also know that the ability of various family sects to stand tall is actually mainly based on the talent reserve of the younger generation and the real bigwigs who are hidden behind it." ”

"It can be said that every force has at least one peerless powerhouse in charge, and our Xianxia Sect is no exception. ”

"In this way, the sect can be kept standing. ”

"However, a few years ago, the peerless powerhouse of our sect suddenly disappeared, and we have been looking for a long time without any news. ”

In desperation, I had to block the news, but it was still known to the outside world. ”

"Without the protection of the peerless powerhouse, the Xianxia Sect will naturally be cannibalized by other forces. ”

"That's the cruel reality. ”

This also directly led to many talented disciples going elsewhere, and those who originally wanted to join but had not yet joined the sect also chose other sects. ”

"That's why no one in the Xianxia Sect has entered Asahi Academy in the past few years. ”

Fang Yuan said hatefully: "Originally, we could still win the first two big competitions, but the disciples who participated in the big competition on behalf of our sect actually temporarily joined other forces, causing the Xianxia Sect to be defeated. ”

Shen Lingyue said: "I heard that the Xianxia Sect has made enough preparations this year?"

Fang Yuan said: "I did hear that there was such a thing, but I have never seen those two people, and I don't know what kind of strength they have now." ”

The Great Elder replied, "Master had already seen him a few days ago. ”

Shen Lingyue said, "Master, what about their strength?"

The Great Elder said with a solemn face: "One Body Refining Realm Ninefold, one Body Refining Realm Eightfold Peak!"

It is said that the cultivation of these two people is good.

However, if you want to win in the big competition of talents, it is really not ordinary.

If they can't win this time, then only one person from their Xianxia Sect will participate in the next competition.

It can be said that the situation is very serious.

At this point, Shen Lingyue finally fully understood the situation of the Xianxia Sect.

She asked tentatively, "Master, did those two senior sisters from our sect go to participate in this big competition?"

The Great Elder glanced at Shen Lingyue, "That's not necessarily, if someone can defeat them, they will naturally replace them to participate in the Great Competition." However, no one in the sect is their opponent at all. ”

"I can't say that there isn't, but they are all over 18 years old, and according to the requirements, only disciples under the age of 18 can participate in the big competition. ”

Shen Lingyue smiled and said, "Master, look, how about the apprentices compete with them?"

Fang Yuan was taken aback when she heard this, "Little junior sister, don't you really want to compare, I think it's better to forget it, you have only refined the sevenfold cultivation of the Body Realm, how can you win them?"

Shen Lingyue smiled and didn't answer, just looked at the Great Elder calmly.

The Great Elder looked at Shen Lingyue and asked, "You should have joined the Xianxia Sect just to participate in the Great Competition, right?"
