Chapter 8: The Red Lotus Emerges
When Ye Ruochen arrived at the place, he found that the scene was in a mess, and finally found Guan Xiaoqing.
"Xiaoqing, what's going on here?"
"Little Marks, you're finally here. Soon after we separated, we wanted to find a safe place to wait until the end of the experience, and hunt a few third- and fourth-level demonic beasts by the way, but we met Hong Jiarong on the way, and it was her. As he spoke, he pointed to a thin figure not far away. As we walked forward, we suddenly saw a large group of them running towards us, and we were still wondering, but we saw a large group of birds behind us, as if one of them had stolen the only child of the king of birds, so they wanted to hunt them down, and we were innocently involved. β
"So what's going on, it's all safe now?"
"Well, sort of, thanks to Zhihan, we ran and ran just in time to meet Zhihan, she helped us resist for a while, and we finally had a chance to breathe. Who knew that Hong Jiarong actually said that Zhihan stole the child of the Honghu Bird King, which is simply revenge, but the Honghu Bird King actually found the breath of its child on Zhihan's body, and I don't know why it was like this, and then Zhihan in order to prove his innocence, he went with the Honghu Bird King to find the child, and then somehow, I didn't come back for a long time, and the Honghu Bird Flock was originally ordered to look at us, and then suddenly received an order from the Bird King, brought us here, and attacked us for some reason, saying that humans are liars. Then the elders came over for some reason, and I heard that it seemed to be a forbidden place in the back mountain. Then they want to seal the cave, but Zhihan and the second prince are inside, what can I do, after sealing Zhihan, I will never be able to get out. β
"What? How long have they been inside? β
"It should have been almost two days."
As he was talking, the elders had already begun the sealing technique, and the birds began to attack wildly again, Ye Ruochen immediately took out the Nine Heavens Ice Jade Qin, and "Zheng" a tranquilizing song quietly played. The attacks of the flock of birds slowly stopped. The Bird King looked at Ye Ruochen, "Who are you, why are you blocking me from saving my child?" β
"I'm a student at Lingxiao Academy, and I didn't want to stop you, but you can't save your child by doing so. We should wait, I am sure Zhihan will be able to come out with your child. β
At this time, the bird king suddenly dropped a pure white tear, "My child, I can't feel the breath of a child anymore." Then he forcibly turned on the inheritance Dafa, because only then can its children live.
"Oops!" Ye Ruochen flew towards the Honghu Bird King and tried to stop it, but it was too late, and the inheritance had already begun. At this time, the seal also fell, and with a "bang", Zhihan held a small bird in her arms, followed by the second prince, and came out of it. The nine feathers on the head of the Honghu Bird King fell one by one, and the feathers slowly grew on the head of the little Honghu, and the little Honghu left the arms of Shui Zhihan, and flew to the Honghu Bird King tremblingly, looking at it with ignorant eyes, and the eyes were full of tears, although it was still very small, but because of the connection of the blood, it felt that its loved ones were about to leave it. The Bird King wanted to open his wings and hug his child, but the body had dissipated and the inheritance was complete. The last crystal beast pill entered the body of the little Honghu, and the Honghu Bird King dissipated into the air like this. All the Honghu birds instantly raised their heads to the sky and roared, making a mournful sound, which was to bid farewell to the Honghu Bird King, and then, they bowed their noble heads to the little Honghu to express their worship as kings.
"Hong Jiarong, is this what you want? What is the purpose of you blaming me? Shui Zhihan said angrily.
"I didn't." Hong Jiarong said softly and weakly. The people next to him also helped and said, "Jia Rong is so gentle and loving, how can I frame you." "That's right, I was in danger a few days ago, and Jia Rong came desperately to save me, she couldn't do it."
"Is that so? The little bird can correct you, don't think that it doesn't know anything when it's in the egg. As soon as Shui Zhihan finished speaking, he saw Xiao Honghu showing a fierce expression towards Hong Jiarong.
"I didn't, I didn't." Hong Jiarong continued to pretend to be weak, she thought to herself, as long as she didn't admit it, no one could do anything to her.
"As far as I know, when you were hunted down, Shui Zhihan should have been with me, may I ask if she has a doppelganger technique?" Ye Ruochen walked in front of Hong Jiarong, kneaded the pill in his hand into powder, and used a silver needle to quietly send it into Hong Jiarong's body.
"Who knows if you guys are good at it, let's frame Jia Rong together." At this time, Li Qiuwen appeared.
"Oh? This is the plan of you and Chu Youran? It's a good plan, borrowing someone else's hand to get rid of the two of us, but who knows that you only got one, so when I came forward to help, you came out and framed the two of us, right? Ye Ruochen thought to himself, it's a pity, there is only one Heart Whisper Pill brought out from home, otherwise it will let you show your feet.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"If you don't understand, forget it, we'll be here for a long time. Hong Jiarong, what are your intentions? β
"Hehe, I have successfully stolen the Honghu bird's egg, and when I go back to hatch it, I will have a good help, so that I can successfully marry into the royal family, who knows that I was startled by that idiot." As she spoke, she pointed to the person who helped her speak, saying that he had saved herself. "So, I had no choice but to sacrifice myself to save myself, so I was seriously injured and could not carry the eggs with me, so I had to hide. Who knew that it also alarmed the Honghu group, and I knew that I couldn't afford to provoke it, of course I had to find someone to block it, I found that the second prince was very different from Shui Zhihan, so I naturally had to find a way to get rid of the stumbling block. Second prince, don't you know me? I'm your fiancΓ©e. After saying these words, Hong Jiarong was sober, how could I tell the truth.
Everyone looked at the second prince, "I don't know you." β
When Hong Jiarong heard the second prince say this, she didn't think about why she told the truth, anyway, she was the princess. "How is it possible, we still played together when we were young, Mrs. Bachelor said, we are going to get married when we grow up."
"Madame Bachelor? My aunt? Oh, that's just a joke, I didn't mean to you, besides, my marriage can't be decided by my aunt and uncle, it must be decided by my father and queen mother. β
"Impossible, our family came all the way to the capital to marry me to you, did you say this because you fell in love with Shui Zhihan, she is a vixen, don't forget, she has a man." As he spoke, he attacked Shui Zhihan.
The elders were about to attack to stop them, "Elders, please stop, I'll solve my own affairs by myself." First, she framed me for stealing the eggs of the Honghu bird, causing me to be chased and killed by the Honghu group, and finally the little Honghu was born and lost before. Second, she slandered me and the second prince. With these two points alone, I must personally settle the grievances between us. I hope the elders will allow it. β
"I agree, treating my Feng Cen disciple like this is naturally for my disciple to solve it personally." The dean came suddenly, glanced at Hong Jiarong, and also glanced at the elders, the elders immediately lowered their heads, and the elders thought to themselves, at that time, they could only seal it, otherwise the damage would be even greater.
Hong Jiarong saw the dean coming, clenched his fists, this dean is famous for helping relatives or not, as long as it is the person he fancies, no matter what he does is wrong or right, he is definitely on that side, only the elder was there just now, it is good to say a little, after all, I still have the name of the prince's fiancΓ©e, and they don't dare to mess around, but Feng Cen is different, he doesn't care who you are, what can I do.
"Thank you, Master, Hong Jiarong, the grievances between the two of us should be settled."
Hong Jiarong was overjoyed, which meant that no one else would interfere, but she had hidden her strength. "Okay, then no one else is allowed to interfere."
"That's nature."
Ye Ruochen thought to himself, Hong Jiarong's strength is slightly lower than Zhihan's, but why is he so confident, there are guaranteed ghosts in it. "Zhihan ......"
"Ruoji, I know, don't worry."
"Okay, you have to be careful."
"If you are a girl, come here, you can see it clearly here." The dean beckoned to Ye Ruojian, Shui Zhihan was just about to take a step forward, almost not tripping, feeling that they were watching this as a play, and glanced at them angrily, and the two of them looked up at the sky with a tacit understanding.
"Let's get started."
"Let's make a decision about life and death, if I beat you to death, your master won't seek revenge on me?"
"Okay, whether we live or die, no one is allowed to trouble each other." As soon as he finished speaking, a very thick lightning bolt was split from the sky, and the life and death were established.
Hong Jiarong seemed to have succeeded in the conspiracy, and suddenly her breath suddenly rose several layers, and she reached the Nine Stars of the Spirit Emperor in an instant, as if she was about to break through to the Spirit Sect, Hong Jiarong took a pill without attracting attention. Click, Spirit Sect. "Shui Zhihan, today is your death." The two sides began to fight fiercely.
Ye Ruochen was very worried, others might not be able to notice it, but Feng Cen and himself should be easy to find out, one is a master of alchemy, and the other has grown up in the pile of pills since childhood.
"No, I'm going to help her. She hasn't reached the Spirit Sect yet, and the Spirit Sect has an unimaginable gap with the Spirit Emperor Nine Stars. The dean was excited to rush forward.
"Dean, you can't go, they have already made a life and death certificate." Ye Ruochen grabbed the dean.
"So what, I'm not afraid."
"Then doesn't the dean believe Zhihan?" Ye Ruochen was also worried in her heart, but she saw that Shui Zhihan did not flinch, and she still had a life-saving card, Shenhuo.
"I ...... I believe in her. β
"Then we'll just wait."
Shui Zhihan gradually couldn't support it, and sure enough, compared to Lingzong, he was simply an ant that could be trampled on, since this is the case, heh.
Everyone present suddenly felt a scorching breath.
"Master, that's the Divine Fire."
"I know, isn't she a divine fire herself!" Ye Ruochen and Yu Jiu said.
"No, master, she used another kind of divine fire, and it hasn't been fully fused yet, it seems to be the tenth-ranked Red Lotus Yan."
Ye Ruochen looked at the place where Shui Zhihan came out and was originally sealed, and said in his heart, could it be that Red Lotus Yan has always been there?
"Yu Jiu, which is the divine fire she had before?"
"I don't know about this, I can't notice it if she doesn't have to come out."
"Dean!" The elders looked at Feng Cen in unison.
Feng Cen also showed a surprised look, "Got it, I'll discuss it later." β
Because Shui Zhihan has a divine fire, and Hong Jiarong was forcibly promoted to the Spirit Sect with pills, the result is obvious. After a while, Hong Jiarong was defeated, but Shui Zhihan did not kill her, but let her go, and then turned around and walked towards us, at this moment, Hong Jiarong, who had already fallen to the ground, smiled strangely at the corner of her mouth, her body slowly became swollen, and she flew towards Shui Zhihan quickly, she was about to blow herself up.
"Zhihan, be careful." Feng Cen shouted anxiously, and immediately rushed over, but the distance was still relatively far away, just looking at a white light, the elders hurriedly worked together to isolate the area, otherwise, the entire academy would be finished. Feng Cen stood stunned in place, his head full of remorse, he shouldn't have let Zhihan solve it by himself at that time.
When the light dissipated, a figure was faintly seen standing in it.
"Zhihan!" Feng Cen and Ye Ruochen quickly ran to her side. "I'm fine!" Shui Zhihan smiled, and then fainted. Ling Yanlie suddenly appeared and caught her, and ran towards the academy with him in his arms.
Feng Cen shouted from behind, "Quick, send to the Meditation Tower." β
"Master, I feel it, it's the heavenly fire." Yu Jiu suddenly spoke.
"Skyfire?" Ye Ruochen asked.
"That's right, if it weren't for the automatic protector of the Heavenly Fire, a Spirit Sect powerhouse would have exploded, she would definitely die."
"Well, it looks like she has a lot of secrets."
Ye Ruochen and the others came to the outside of the meditation tower, and the second elder came out and said, "Zhihan is now taken care of by the dean, you should go back and wait for the assessment first." Don't worry, Zhihan is fine. β
At this time, it was already close to dusk, "This assessment is over, everyone hurry up and gather in the central square." The Great Elder said.
Central Plaza
"Okay, let's start the statistics." The second elder said.
"Elder, I have a question." Xiaoqing said.
"You say."
"I want to ask, we have counted, but how do Zhihan count?"
"Well, that's one more thing I'm going to tell you. Since Shui Zhihan is still in a coma, and has now entered the Meditation Pagoda to heal her injuries and has taken a six-pinned pill to save her life, she will not participate in this assessment. β
After finishing speaking, there was a lot of discussion below. "Shui Zhihan is really lucky, she didn't need to be evaluated to get better treatment than the first place." "What's this, everyone knows that she is the dean's baby apprentice, this kind of thing is not normal!" "But if you think about it, her realm is the highest, and if she participates, it won't be anything for us. If she doesn't participate, we still have the possibility of fighting. "That's it, she doesn't participate, although she already has the first treatment, but she doesn't occupy the first place."
Ye Ruochen still felt very relieved to hear this conversation, the people in our academy will not be carried away by jealousy, and most of their conduct is relatively upright, except for a few people.
"Does anyone have an opinion?" The second elder asked.
"Second Elder, why can Shui Zhihan enter the Meditation Tower, everyone knows that the Meditation Tower is generally not allowed to enter, why can she enter without any merit or grades, as we all know, her grades are also when she first entered the school, and now that so much time has passed, who can guarantee that her realm is still the highest among us? Is it because she's hurt? Can we enter even if we are injured later? Li Qiuwen said reasonably. Others listened to her analysis and felt that what she said made sense. "That's it." β
"That's a good point." The Second Elder was obviously a little displeased. "Just because the Meditation Tower was brought by the dean, whoever he wants to enter can enter, and Feng Cen is the owner of the Meditation Tower. Does that make sense? There was silence. Since there are no more opinions, let's get started. β
"Cangran, there are 18 first-level magic cores, 12 second-level magic cores, 8 third-level magic cores, 10 fourth-level magic cores, and 4 fifth-level magic cores, a total of 254 points. Not bad, not only luck, but also strength. Ding Yu, 151 points. Wang Qingwei, 196 points. β¦β¦ Guan Xiaoqing, 10 first-level magic cores, 5 second-level magic cores, 52 third-level magic cores, 31 fourth-level magic cores, and 3 fifth-level magic cores, a total of 640 points. Guan Xiaoqing performed very well! β
"Wow~" The audience let out an exclamation, but only Li Qiuwen gave a contemptuous look.
Guan Xiaoqing thought to herself, take out the small traces, they must not gasp over!
"Nanping, 650 points." The audience screamed again, and the envy came one after another.
"Whose else hasn't been calculated?" The second elder asked.
"Elder, and mine." Li Qiuwen walked out proudly, like a hairy peacock.
"Well, I'll do the math, there are a total of 1010 points, and most of them are sixth-level demon cores." The Second Elder looked appreciative.
"Elder, I still have one more thing here." Li Qiuwen said and took out a small box. "Elder, please see."
The second elder opened it and looked at it, "Immortal Dew Fruit? There was no relieved and appreciative gaze that Li Qiuwen expected, but a somewhat skeptical gaze.
"That's right, it's the fairy dew fruit." Li Qiuwen's neck straightened up.
"Okay, then Li Qiuwen scored a total of 1160 points."
"Is there any other student who didn't come up to count the score?" There was a lot of discussion at this time, "Li Qiuwen has such a high score, even if she has, she is embarrassed." "By the way, even if you go up, you can't be the first." "Yes, yes, and there is a risk of shame." "It seems that the number one beauty Ye Ruochen hasn't been counted yet!" "I said why Li Qiuwen was so quiet at first just now, and only showed it like this in the end, she must have been observing Ye Ruochen, as long as she wants to go up, she will take the lead." "Hey, looking at Ye Ruochen's weaker appearance, she shouldn't have any strength, this is to embarrass her."
"Elder, mine hasn't been counted yet." Ye Ruochen spoke calmly at this time, and then stepped forward to hand over his badge.
The second elder let out a "hmm" and began to calculate. The students present all felt sorry for Ye Ruochen, and it seemed that they were going to be humiliated today. The second elder's expression slowly changed from calm to surprised, what did he see, what were the piles there? After a long time, the second elder finally finished the calculation.
"Well, altogether" Everyone listened attentively, Li Qiuwen was ready, and after the elder finished speaking, he would humiliate her. "5030 points"
Li Qiuwen just wanted to open her mouth to humiliate her, but then she was suddenly stunned and shouted in disbelief, "What? The audience was silent.
"Elder, I have a box too, please take a look."
"Well, okay, good," the second elder took out the box and looked at it, and his eyes popped out, "What...... What, 10,000-year-old spirit wood. "There was a gasp in the audience!" According to the rules, Ye Ruochen can only add another 150 points, but this simply cannot be measured by scores. β
"Well, yes. However, the final score is still 5180 points, but you can use this 10,000-year-old spirit wood to return a reward, anything. The Great Elder spoke. The audience was full of envy, "I didn't expect Ye Ruochen's strength to be so strong." "Yes!" "She will be the goddess of Lao Tzu in the future!" "your goddess, she is the goddess of Lao Tzu."
The Great Elder continued, "Classmate Li Qiuwen, Elder Ben would like to ask, how did you get this Immortal Dew Fruit?" β
Li Qiuwen was suddenly named, and was stunned for a moment, "I, I, I just found it casually, and I have been observing every place very carefully." β
"Is that so? Then why don't you have a demon core above level eight? The Great Elder said suddenly and sternly.
Li Qiuwen was confused, full of question marks.
"The assessment badges issued to you by the academy, one is to store the magic core, and the other is to protect your life, the reason why you want to protect your life is because of the three herbs in the assessment, each herb in the exam question will have a guardian beast, their long-term guardian herb, if you want to pick it, you must fight with the guardian beast, can it be said that you obtained the herb but did not take its magic core?"
"Then Ye Ruoji has it? Demonic beasts above level eight, their strength is at least at the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor, how many freshmen can have such a high level? β
"Just because you can't doesn't mean others can't!" Guan Xiaoqing said angrily that she was suspicious of Xiao Zhen.
"I saw a ninth-level demon core in the badge that Ye Ruochen handed in." The second elder spoke in real time
At this time, Situ Yin, who had been silent, also said, "My student has indeed just broken through the Spirit Sect. β
"What?" The audience was surprised, and they all looked at Ye Ruochen like a monster, thinking about the battle between Shui Zhihan and Hong Jiarong just now, the strength of the Spirit Sect is not covered!
"Little Trace, Little Trace, you have already broken through the Spirit Sect??" Guan Xiaoqing looked at Ye Ruochen, her eyes were bright, as if she was full of pink hearts. It seems that as soon as Ye Ruochen answers, she will pounce on her and kiss her fiercely.
After Ye Ruochen saw it, he replied, "Hmm." Hurry away from her, Guan Xiaoqing pounced, Guan Xiaoqing was instantly depressed!
"Situ Yin, you accepted three good students this time!" The Great Elder sighed.
"Okay, the first place in this assessment is Ye Ruochen. This is the Five-Rank Enhancement Pill, and tomorrow morning, you will be able to go to the Meditation Tower to cultivate. The second elder looked at Ye Ruochen appreciatively.
"Yes, Second Elder."
"As for Li Qiuwen, you ......"
"Second Elder, Second Elder, no, in fact, this is what I picked up, at that time I saw Hong Jiarong leave in a panic, after she left, I saw a box on the ground, opened it, and became greedy. Elders, I was wrong! β
The third elder said, "Forget it, forget it, she is also because of greed, so she will be punished for three days on the cliff face." β
"Since the third child said so, then so be it. Okay, let's all go back, everyone has worked hard these days, have a good rest. The Great Elder waved his hand, and then the seven elders disappeared.
"Sure enough, it's different if there's a backstage, hum!" Guan Xiaoqing said disdainfully.
"Backstage?" Ye Ruochen was questioning.
"Xiaoji, you don't know yet, Li Qiuwen's family has a relationship with the three elders of our college, so we can bypass her so easily, the most important thing in our college is the character of the student, and the person with bad character will be expelled."
"Okay, but Xiaoqing, don't you also have a backstage? I'm going to rely on you in the future! β
"Little Trace, you actually hurt me in disguise! Hmph. β
"Okay, no kidding, let's go and see Zhihan."
"yes, yes. Nanping, what about you? β
"I won't go, after all, there is a difference between men and women, I'll go back first."
"Hmm."
Nanping looked at Ye Ruochen, and finally said, "Ruojian, after you finish watching Zhihan, go back and rest well, and see that you are getting thinner and thinner." β
Ye Ruochen was surprised, "Well, I know, thank you." After Ye Ruochen finished speaking, Nanping quickly disappeared.
Guan Xiaoqing poked Ye Ruoji, "Xiaoji, is there any adultery between you and him?" β
"No kidding, let's go see Zhihan quickly."
