Lingyu didn't know what was happening in Lingjing Palace, she just concentrated on practicing swordsmanship, trying to integrate sword qi into it.

However, she soon sensed that something seemed to be happening in the master's door.

Recently, for some reason, there have been a lot less disputes in the three palaces, and all the mages have rushed to retreat, even Uncle Liu Weiyi, who guided her, has also retreated, and called her before the retreat, saying that her retreat will be as short as one and a half years and as long as three years.

The strange thing is that Liu Weiyi is in retreat, and the master has not arranged to teach the mage master again, and no one cares about them, the disciples who teach the mage master to retreat.

Lingyu told Zhang Qingshu about this, and Zhang Qingshu mysteriously told her that all the mages were preparing for the battle of the national teachers in three years!

The dispute between the national teachers, this question made Lingyu interested. She knows that the position of the national teacher is related to the three great avenues of the competition for the first view, and the current national teacher is a disciple of the Wuji view, and the first view in the world is also the Wuji view, if the position of the national teacher falls into the hands of the other two views, the name of the first view in the world will also be changed. Now that the national teacher is going to be replaced, does the Xuanyuan View also have a chance to become the first view in the world?

Under her questioning, Zhang Qingshu told her that every fifty years, the Three Great Dao Temples would have a battle for national teachers, and he didn't know exactly how to fight, but it was very dangerous, so all the mages were in a hurry to retreat, and the teachers did not have enough manpower to teach them these disciples, so they could only be temporarily free-ranged.

Unable to find more useful information, Lingyu was very disappointed. Just as he was about to go back to practice swords, someone suddenly came to Xuanming Palace, saying that Master Han Funing had been invited.

The news made Lingyu nervous. Han Funing, this guy finally remembered her, is he going to do something to her?

But she couldn't refuse the mage's summons, no matter how nervous she was, she still had to go.

Walking into Xuanming Palace again, Han Funing was still waiting in that room. Seeing her come in, he nodded lightly: "Cheng Lingyu? Have a seat. ”

Lingyu sat down apprehensively.

Han Funing didn't speak, just looked at her, his eyes were a little complicated, as if he had been thinking about something, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Uncle Han?" After waiting for a long time, before he could speak, Lingyu reminded him.

Han Funing's eyes moved, he came back to his senses, lowered his gaze, fiddled with the jade bottle placed on the table, and spoke: "Three years, three levels of qi refining, and an introduction to sword cultivation, if you have enough time, it shouldn't be difficult to become a mage." ”

His tone was calm, and his words seemed to compliment her...... Lingyu was confused, what did he mean? Do you especially praise her?

"It's a pity, the time is too short, three years, only three years......" Han Funing didn't look at her, his eyes were fixed on the void, as if he was talking to himself.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, looked at Lingyu, and asked, "In three years, are you sure to enter the seventh layer of qi refining?" ”

This question was completely unexpected by Lingyu, she blinked her eyes before asking, "What does Uncle Han mean by this?" ”

Han Funing said: "If you can reach the seventh level of qi refining, I will let you enter the Jade Void Palace and participate in the battle of the national teacher." ”

"Ahh Lingyu was stunned. In the battle of the national teacher, Han Funing actually wanted her to participate in the battle of the national teacher? She's just a little disciple who has just started cultivating swords!

Han Funing just looked at her with a stern expression and no smile.

For a long time, Lingyu slowly calmed down, looked directly at Han Funing, and asked cautiously, "What exactly does Uncle Han want his disciple to do?" Even if I have entered the seventh layer of Qi refining, I can't compete with all the seniors. ”

Han Funing smiled faintly: "National teacher? Do you think my goal is to become a national teacher? ”

Lingyu looked at him and didn't answer. Admittedly, she did think so. Han Funing, as one of the few ninth-level Qi refining masters in the Xuanyuan Concept, it is normal for him to want to be a national teacher, he has this qualification and this strength. As long as you become a national teacher, you can sit on the world's Daomen and stand above the Three Great Dao Views, which is the most noble goal of Daomen disciples!

Han Funing shook his head lightly: "National teacher, the first person in the world, it sounds very beautiful, but this world is too small, what is the point of being first?" He looked at Lingyu with a cold gaze, "You are not qualified to know these things now, and with your current cultivation, there is no point in telling you about it." ”

Lingyu bit her lip, feeling the unhappiness of being slighted, but she couldn't say anything, it was a fact that her cultivation was low.

"I'll give you a chance." Han Funing looked at her condescendingly and said, "In three years, if you can reach the seventh level of qi refining, I will let you enter the Jade Void Palace and participate in this grand event." When the time comes, you'll be eligible to be my collaborator. ”

The more Lingyu listened, the more inexplicable she became, and she couldn't help but say, "Uncle Han, the battle of the national teacher is extremely dangerous, why should I rush to participate?" I don't want to be a national teacher! ”

Han Funing said lightly: "I said, you are not qualified to know these things now, I just give you a chance, you can choose for yourself whether you want this opportunity or not." Anyway, even if you give up, I'm just a little sorry. After that, he pushed the jade bottle on the table over, "Here are a hundred Yangyuan Pills, which is my investment for you, if you succeed, it will be the time for me to collect the return, if not...... Just when I looked away. ”

Lingyu was confused, and before she could come up with a clue, Han Funing had already leaned back in the chair and gave the order to evict the guests: "Go out." ”

The words of inquiry rolled in Lingyu's throat, and finally swallowed it, and left with a farewell-Yang Yuandan took it away by the way, and did not take it for nothing.

Back in the small courtyard, Lingyu took out the jade bottles and opened them one by one, and sure enough, they were all Yangyuan Pills, all of them were white and of good quality.

She is not an ignorant little Taoist child, she knows very well how precious the pill is. Back then, Ying Xiude and Ji Xiuming, as disciples of Xianglinguan, only had two or three on their bodies, and her master Xuan Chenzi had been away from the master for too long, and the pills had long been used up, and there was no one. Entering the Xuanyuan Temple, the master will send it, but it is only ten in a year, and these hundred are the share of ordinary disciples for ten years!

What does Han Funing want to do? One hundred Yang Yuan Pills, if she got Ji Wu's monk exchange meeting, the entire Yuan City would be shaken. What was there about her that deserved his investment?

"If you succeed, that's when I get my return, if not...... Just when I looked away. ”

Lingyu put this sentence in her heart, thought about it over and over again, and pondered the meaning of the words.

If she successfully entered the seventh layer of qi refining, Han Funing would transfer her to the Jade Void Palace and receive a reward—what kind of reward was it? What role can she play in the battle for national teachers? She is now just a junior disciple of the third layer of Qi refining, and what she can do, too many people can do. Even if she reached the seventh level of Qi refining, so what? There are forty or fifty elite disciples in Xuanyuan Temple, and more than a dozen true disciples, all of whom are young and highly talented, and it is not for nothing that they have already refined qi at the seventh level, what is she worthy of Han Funing's different eyes?

The more Lingyu thought about it, the more foggy she felt, and she really couldn't guess what this Funing mage was thinking. She recalled Han Funing's expression over and over again, every word, every expression.

From beginning to end, his expression was stern, and it was obvious that this matter was very important to him. But he had been thinking about it in the early stage, and seemed to be hesitating. Could it be that he had another choice, and that she was just one of his targets?

Chance, he said was to give her a chance. Is this good for her? Entering the Jade Void Palace and becoming a mage is of course a benefit, but Han Funing's focus is clearly on the second half of the sentence, that is, participating in the battle for the national teacher.

That's weird. The battle between national teachers is very dangerous, Zhang Qingshu told her that there are countless mages who have fallen among them over the years. When she heard about it, she thought that it was good to be a national teacher, but she cherished her life more, and she didn't have enough strength, so it was better not to participate.

Even if she reached the seventh layer of qi refining, in the face of many ninth-level qi refining masters, what would she do to fight with others? Give her a chance, a chance to die?

No, it's certainly not. Lingyu quickly denied this idea, what she could think of, Han Funing would not know?

Thinking about it, Lingyu was still entangled. She can't tell whether this so-called opportunity is good or bad for her, whether she wants to fight for it.

If this matter was a trap set by Han Funing for her, she should have put a bait that was tempting enough to make her cultivate desperately, but he didn't. Could it really be a chance for her?

What benefits does this have for Han Funing? Become his collaborator? What to work with? Let him become a national teacher? But he disdained the position of national teacher......

"National teacher, the first person in the world, it sounds very beautiful, but this world is too small, what is the point of being first?"

Suddenly thinking of this, Lingyu jumped up.

The first person in the world, the world is too small...... Could that be what she thought?

Her face kept changing, and finally, she grabbed the jade bottle in her hand.

Even if this is a deliberate bait by Han Funing, she will believe it!

In three years, the seventh layer of qi refining has been completed! ()
