In the next few days, Su Ming stayed in the room and was not allowed to go out, three meals a day were brought in, at most he practiced martial arts in the courtyard for a while, and he couldn't leave the courtyard.

And the rumors of himself and Su Yurong have also spread throughout the Qingqiu faction, and many people know that Lei Huan's genius disciple Su Ming became Su Yurong's guest of the scene, which made Lei Huan unable to raise his head, and he had to enter the house every day to reprimand Su Ming.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month.

This day is the annual Qingqiu Sect's big competition, that is, the ranking competition of inner disciples.

All the inner disciples have to compete with each other, compete with each other, rank, and finally determine the top ten.

This competition is even more important than the big competition of the outer disciples, and it is held with great fanfare every year, and even the two Supreme Elders of the Innate Realm will come forward to watch the ceremony.

In the early morning of this day, Zhou Bai took many juniors and disciples to the martial arts training ground, lined up in line, and stood among the inner disciples.

Su Ming looked at the viewing platform, Master Lei Huan was sitting on the right hand of the sect master on the viewing platform, and to the left of the sect master, there was a tall middle-aged man wearing a black robe, looking calm as a mountain.

To the left of the black-robed man, sat a white-haired woman wearing a Taoist robe, her face was beautiful, her skin was fair and firm, and her hand holding the dust looked weak.

The two of them sat in the middle, and even the sect master had to give way to the main seat.

Seeing these two people, Su Ming was a little curious and asked, "Could these two be them?" ”

Zhu Qing said in a low voice: "These two are the Taishang elders of our Qingqiu faction, wearing a black robe is the congenital quadruple martial artist Zhou Baiqi, and the woman wearing a cyan robe is the congenital dual martial artist Chen Yun. ”

Su Ming nodded, and cast a respectful look at the two, these two people were the reason why the Qingqiu Sect was able to stand here.

The innate strong is the foundation of a sect and the pillar of a sect.

Zhu Qing introduced again: "Don't look at the two of you so young, but the youngest Chen Yun is already over eighty years old, and Zhou Baiqi and Elder Zhou are more than one hundred and twenty years old. ”

"That's that old?"

Su Ming was slightly surprised, although these two people could see that they were not young from the momentum of precipitation, but just looking at their appearance, they were only thirty or forty years old, and they didn't look like they were eighty or twenty years old.

Zhu Qing said with a smile: "The higher the realm, the slower the speed of aging, generally fifty or sixty years old, which is equivalent to thirty or forty years old. And when it comes to the innate realm, it is normal to basically fix the appearance and be young. ”

Su Ming asked in a low voice, "But our master looks so old?" ”

Zhu Qing couldn't help but smile: "Master is over eighty years old, he is just an acquired martial artist, and he can't stay young forever." ”

Su Ming asked again: "Senior brothers, what is the age and lifespan of a martial artist?" ”

Zhu Qing replied: "Generally, martial artists below the fifth level of the day after tomorrow have a lifespan similar to ordinary people, and they can live for sixty to eighty years. The acquired sixfold and sevenfold, open up the pulse vein, the tenacity of the body's five internal organs and six organs far exceeds that of ordinary people, it is not a problem to live for 80 to 100 years, and after opening up the second pulse of Rendu, live for about 120 years. A martial artist in the realm of true qi release can live for one hundred and forty years. As for the congenital strong, the lifespan can reach two hundred. Of course, if you have suffered more injuries and have reached the realm at a higher age, your lifespan will be greatly reduced. ”

Zhu Qing's words made Su Ming a little distracted, and his lifespan would increase with the increase of the martial arts realm, and he would even have a lifespan of two hundred years when he reached the innate realm, which made Su Ming yearn for it.

Zhu Qing and Su Ming whispered here, and Zhou Bai, who was the leader, frowned and said, "Silence." ”

Su Ming and Zhu Qing immediately closed their mouths and didn't dare to say anything more.

After all the elders arrived, an elder deacon of the outer gate was in charge of presiding over the big competition, and he shouted loudly: "Today is the day of the big competition of the Qingqiu faction, according to your ranking this competition, select the top ten disciples to be rewarded, and divide them into A and B according to how much progress they have." Let's go. ”

The elder of the outer gate paused and said, "The first competition, the martial arts test. The disciples are assessed by ten elders of the outer sect of the acquired eightfold, and if they can survive the ten moves under the elders, they can enter the next round. ”

As his words spoke, ten Outer Gate Elders stepped forward and stood in the open space in front of the disciples.

"Please come out of the ranks."

"Zhao Zimo, Chu Yunyang, Tian Tuo, Chen Qingyu, Zhao Jinxuan, Luo Sheng, Su Ming......"

The names of ten people were pronounced, and among them was Su Ming, which made him slightly stunned.

Zhu Qing said beside him: "These are all acquired five-fold martial artists, Chen Qingyu is an exception, it seems that it is only the fourfold day after tomorrow, most of them have just entered the inner gate, and there is basically no way to receive ten moves." Go ahead. ”

Among the ten people this time, five of them were disciples who had just entered the inner gate last time, and the acquired fivefold realm would naturally not be taken seriously.

Su Ming walked out of the team, came to an outer door elder, and saluted.

This is a middle-aged man in his thirties, nodded towards Su Ming, and said, "I won't do my best, but I won't deliberately let you through, you have to be careful." ”

Su Ming nodded and said, "The disciple will already do his best. ”

On the management platform, Zhou Baiqi looked at these disciples and asked, "Are there any good seedlings here?" ”

Rong Yunhe next to him hurriedly introduced: "Back to Elder Zhou, there are three people with outstanding qualifications, Zhao Jinxuan, Chu Yunyang and Su Ming, these three are all disciples who just entered the inner gate half a year ago, they are not very old, and they have great potential. Zhao Jinxuan is a disciple of Meng Ru, the deputy hall master of Furong Hall, and Chu Yunyang is a disciple of the Chu family, and he was accepted as an apprentice by me. But among this person, the one with the best qualifications is Elder Lei's apprentice Su Ming, who was promoted to the fifth-fold realm in just four months, and now that half a year has passed, I am afraid that he has already opened up the belt. ”

When Zhou Baiqi heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with some surprise: "This kid named Su Ming's qualifications are not bad, it is worth focusing on cultivating, if he can pass this level, let him go to the Martial Arts Pavilion and choose a few good martial arts, if there is anything he doesn't understand, I can also give me some advice." ”

Lei Huan didn't expect Elder Taishang to plan to personally guide Su Ming, so he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Elder Zhou." ”

Su Yurong, who was not far away, said with a smile: "I also thank Elder for Su Ming." ”

Zhou Baiqi asked puzzledly: "He is Lei Huan's apprentice, why do you want to thank me for him." ”

Su Yurong blushed and said: "Back to Elder's words, Yurong just married him not long ago, and they made a private agreement for life, and agreed not to leave for the rest of their lives, and they already have the reality of husband and wife." ”

Zhou Baiqi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Lei Huan was furious and scolded: "Cheap woman, you are talking nonsense. ”

Su Yurong covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and said, "If it's nonsense, you can ask your apprentice." ”

Lei Huan blew his beard and glared, and Zhou Baiqi said: "Nonsense, a senior uncle, a disciple, what kind of system do you do this?" ”

Lei Huan saw Elder Zhou speaking for himself, and said, "Yes, I suggest that Su Yurong be imprisoned in the back mountain and think about it, facing the wall for three years, such a morally corrupt person should not hold an important position." ”

But Chen Yun, another Supreme Elder next to him, said softly: "If the two are happy, how do you care about your identity?" A warrior should not be afraid of the world and be unrestrained. ”

Hearing Chen Yun's words, Zhou Baiqi stopped talking, and Su Yurong said with a smile: "Thank you mother for your support." ”

Lei Huan's face darkened.
