Chapter 18: Gathering in Jian'an

Jian'an Castle, not far from the 'Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion', is particularly lively these days, and even the open space in the woods outside the city is full of people. Most of the young cultivators of the West Mo Domain gathered here, preparing to participate in the preliminary examination for the selection of disciples by the four sects. Most cultivators from poor families are even more counting on this to leap into the dragon gate.

In the city, a middle-aged man in a cloak arrives at an inn with three teenagers. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: "A few guest officers, I'm really sorry, the small store is full today." The middle-aged man took out a jade plate from his pocket and handed it over, and the shopkeeper saw it. He bowed and said, "Master, please come with me." After saying that, he took the four of them upstairs.

After the man entered the house, he took off his cloak, and it turned out that this person was Mo Yunfeng, the head of the Mo family at the end of the peak. Mo Yunfeng asked, "Has there been a big event in Jian'an City recently?" The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to pour tea and replied: "The head of the family, Jian'an City has been very lively recently, and there are many rich children in the city, although they are competing with each other, but there is no major conflict. The head of the Bai family, Bai Linfeng and his son, arrived yesterday, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Manming and his son, lived in the 'Fengyuan Inn' in the east of the city, and the head of the Luo family, Luo Yunhao, father and daughter, were also in the city. ”

Mo Yunfeng drank tea, nodded after listening, and then asked, "Well, what news has been on this Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion recently?" The shopkeeper replied: "There is news that Feng Xuan, the second elder who went out of the 'Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion' three days ago, has returned, and it seems that he is still injured. Mo Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, slowly put down the teacup and said, "Did Feng Xuan come back with anyone?" The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Mo Yunfeng thought to himself: This Xuan must have been injured after the battle between Mengshan and the 'Extreme Fantasy Green Bull', and it can be seen from the scene that there is also a formation master. Who is it? At this time, a knock on the door outside interrupted Mo Yunfeng's thoughts. Seeing that it was Lin Lan, Mo Yunfeng said to the shopkeeper: "Okay, pay more attention to the Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion recently, let's go out first." The shopkeeper saluted and said, "Yes! With that, he withdrew.

Mo Yunfeng said to Lin Lan: "Come, come and sit down." After speaking, he poured a bowl of water for Lin Lan. Lin Lan drank the water and said, "For the time being, no trace of the young master has been found." However, three days ago, Feng Xuan brought back a teenager and was also named an honorary elder. Mo Yunfeng was slightly surprised and replied, "Oh, could it be that formation master?"

Lin Lan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, this honorary elder is in charge of the disciples of the 'Pill Hall'. "The 'Pill Hall' of the Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion is responsible for selecting disciples with alchemy talent for cultivation. Mo Yunfeng stroked his beard and nodded in agreement: "This 'Pill Hall' was previously managed by Mu Yuan. It seems that this honorary elder's alchemy ability is no worse than Mu Yuan's. ”

The two chatted about the recent situation of the 'Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion' and Jian'an City, and after a while, Mo Yunfeng said to Lin Lan: "Okay, you can also go and rest." Let the brothers who inquire about the news be careful, and report the new situation in time. Lin Lan stood up and bowed, "Yes! Then he withdrew.

Mo Yunfeng rubbed his temples with two fingers, and said to himself, "Worry, where did you go?" "Mo Yunfeng never dreamed that Wu Wu would be so bold and would actually be an elder in the Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion.

The carefree in the alchemy room was nervously looking at the medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace. This 'Beast Taming Pill' is a four-grade elixir, although it is not the most difficult of the four-grade pills. However, after all, it is a four-pin pill, and it is still a little reluctant for the carefree who has just turned into a pill. Fortunately, Sister Yuling was on the side to guide. only to avoid a few major mistakes.

The liquid slowly began to condense, and the heat was carefully controlled. Using the 'Star Casting Body' to attract aura, after the elixir absorbs the aura, it finally becomes a pill. Wu Wu opened the lid and rolled out the three pills, only to see the three pills floating in the air, and a layer of spiritual light was wrapped around the mellow pill body.

Wu Wu breathed a sigh of relief gently, and said to Yu Ling with a smile: "Sister Yu Ling, we have succeeded. Yu Ling pretended to be old-fashioned, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." The children can be taught. Worry-free was amused by Yu Ling's appearance, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuling, so I am now a fourth-grade alchemist?" It was done with the help of my sister. ”

Carefree said embarrassedly: "It's because I'm too proud, thinking that if I have refined the 'Beast Taming Pill', I can be called a four-grade alchemist." Unexpectedly, with the help of Sister Yuling, the quality of the pill had not yet reached the fourth grade. Yu Ling smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, with your age and realm, you can refine the pseudo-four-grade pill, which is already very good." Moreover, your spiritual power can actually isolate the Explosive Pill. Much stronger than the old man outside. ”

It's also strange to say. The spiritual power generated by his own mutated golden pill can actually prevent the explosion of the pill, which means that he has more opportunities to correct his mistakes than others. It's hard to come by. Carefree smiled and replied, "Let me be praised when you are you." ”

Worry-free walked out of the alchemy room, and saw Mu Yuan greet him and arched his hand: "Elder Yu, the second elder is invited." After speaking, he turned to the lounge next to him and made a gesture of please. Wuwu thought to himself: What is this Mu Yuan looking for me? Do you want me to help him refine the pill?

Mu Yuan knocked on the door, and Feng Xuan inside said, "Come in!" The two walked in one after the other. Feng Xuan saw that both of them were coming, so he said, "Come on, come on, two Taoist friends." Have a seat. The two bowed and sat down.

Feng Xuan continued: "The two Daoists are the right-hand men of my Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion, and now that the pavilion master is in retreat, the Great Elder is traveling everywhere. All the burdens of this Sword Pavilion fell on me alone, but fortunately there were two Taoist friends. ”

After hearing this, Mu Yuan said: "Thanks to the love of the elders, the matter of the Sword Pavilion is the matter below, and we must do it with all our might." After speaking, he glanced at the worry-free. Wuwu thought to himself: These two people come and go, and acting here is nothing more than trying to make yourself contribute. I wonder if this help is related to alchemy? If it is really alchemy, as long as the medicinal materials are enough, you should practice the art of alchemy. If it's something else, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go through it with my own realm, so it seems that I have to try him first.

After making up his mind, Wu Wu said: "The second elder is humble, if even the second elder can't do anything, Yu is afraid that he will have more than enough heart and not enough strength." After speaking, he looked unwilling. After hearing this, Feng Xuan sneered in his heart and thought: This old fox is really cunning, and he can't help if he doesn't see benefits. But it's easy to deal with this kind of person.

So he said: "Elder Yu, I'm afraid this old man of alchemy can't compare to you and catechumens. When I heard this, I thought: It's really alchemy. However, this is one of the four sects in the world, no matter how high the requirements of this alchemy are for cultivators, after so many years of talent accumulation, why is there still such a shortage of people in this alchemy?

Seeing that it was a matter of alchemy, he replied: "Since it is within Yu's ability, I must go all out." Ask the Second Elder to command. Feng Xuan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and continued: "Tomorrow is the day when the primary disciples of the four sects are selected. According to the previous rules, the selected disciples will practice in the Sword Pavilion for half a year, and the people of the four sects will teach four lessons respectively during this half year. After half a year, the four sects will be selected according to the achievements of the disciples. ”

Worry-free listened to Feng Xuan's introduction and compared it with what he saw in the book. It was found that the records of the family were very different from what Feng Xuan said, in the past six months, the four sects would send the gentlemen of the sect to teach the pre-selected disciples, and they all talked about the things that the sect was best at, the sword path of the Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion, the alchemy of the Danwang Palace, the talisman and formation of the Jade Rune Sect, and the sword-casting technique of the Sword Casting Gate.

I saw Feng Xuan continue: "But this time, the gentleman in charge of teaching his disciples in the 'Danwang Palace' had an accident during alchemy and was injured by the explosion of the pill. I can't come, so I can only entrust my Sword Pavilion to elect a gentleman to do it for me. Therefore, the old man wanted to ask Elder Yu to take on this position. ”

Worry-free thought, this is a dignified 'Danwang Palace'. The alchemists in it add up, I'm afraid there are more alchemists than the other three sects combined. If one is injured, it is impossible not to find the second. What is the reason why they can't spare manpower?

Seeing that Feng Xuan was waiting for his answer, he said in embarrassment: "Elder, Yu is willing to do his best for the sect. But the elder also knows that my injuries have not healed now, and I am afraid that taking the position of Mr. will damage the prestige of the sect. After worry-free, he showed a reluctant look.

Feng Xuan looked carefree and sad, and thought: Old fox, it seems that I can't really move you if I don't give you benefits. Then he said, "Elder Yu, don't worry too much. The old man also knows that your injuries have not healed and need to be recuperated. However, this is a rare opportunity to train disciples. After speaking, he glanced at Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan comprehended and said: "Yes, this gentleman who cultivates disciples can not only freely use the medicinal materials in the alchemy room, but also freely enter the library of the sect. After speaking, he glanced at Worry-free. There was no wave on Wu Wu's face, but he was very shocked in his heart: This teacher still has this kind of treatment? Although most of the medicinal materials in this alchemy room are below the fourth grade, their value is also unusual. What's more, there is also the library of the Lily of the Valley Sword Pavilion!

As if he had made some major decision, he said to Feng Xuan: "I was originally an idle cultivator, but thanks to the love of the elders, I have nothing to repay in my heart. I can only use this stump to share the elder's worries. Yu is willing to listen to the elder's arrangement!" Feng Xuan replied with a smile: "That's fine, tomorrow I will go with the old man to select disciples." Worry-free stood up and arched his hand, "Yes!" Elder. However, Yu has one thing to ask for. ”

Feng Xuan smiled and said, "Elder Jade, please speak!" Worry-free said: "Tomorrow to choose a disciple, the people who come must come from all directions. And Yu has not recovered at this time, and he cannot restore his face to before. This young man's appearance, if this is recognized by others, I am afraid that it will bring a bad reputation to the sect. I also hope that the elder will allow Yu to cover his face when he is outside. ”

Feng Xuan sneered: I robbed someone else's body, so I was naturally afraid that someone else's family would come to the door. It seems that this jade cang's current body is not from a young man who collects medicine. It should be not small, otherwise it wouldn't make Yu Cang so nervous. Still, that's good, with one more handle in my hands. In the future, you will not be able to serve me obediently.

So, he smiled and said, "Elder Yu, there is no rule in this sect that people in the door are not allowed to cover their faces, so you can arrange it yourself." "Finished. Then he got up and said to the two of them, "Okay, the matter is decided." I hope that the catechumen will cooperate with Elder Haoyu. Don't let outsiders see the joke. Worry-free and Mu Yuan arched their hands and replied, "Yes! Elder." Feng Xuan nodded and walked out.
