Chapter 118: Retention

The sky was clear and the clouds were like waves.

To the south of the Soul Raising Peak, there is a large area of elegant and chic green tile courtyards.

However, because of the turbulent relationship of the Xuanyin Mountain Range before, the Qingwa courtyard was also damaged to a certain extent, and many medicinal fields on the side of the mountain peak, and the elixir was also dug up early.

In a green-tiled courtyard, Ji Fan was dressed in a clean green cloth robe, and reached out to bring a belt on the light yarn of the bed tent.

Compared with the cave mansion where Ji Fan lived, the environment of the Qingwa courtyard was undoubtedly much better, and this was the first time he had come to Fengmai's disciple courtyard.

Ruan Yan's bedroom is very peaceful, and the flower arrangements placed on the dresser have already withered, and it seems that no one has taken care of them for a while.

Looking at the ornaments and objects in the dormitory, Ji Fan couldn't help but recall that he took Ruan Yan to raise the soul peak vein, and was looked down upon by her.

It didn't seem to take long, but Ruan Yanren was gone, until now, Ji Fan was still in a complicated mood, and she was annihilated in the ancient relics.

Secretly sighed and shook his head, Ji Fan was just about to leave Ruan Yan's dormitory with his front feet, but he felt that a small box on the dresser had a faint fluctuation of breath.

Ji Fan stopped, turned around and came to the dresser, opened the box that seemed to contain jewelry, and found that a demon stone inside was shining slightly.

"Why did you leave a Demon Stone?"

Ji Fan knew the laws in the ancient relics before, and the monks who had reached the Jindan stage and above, as well as demon beasts that were more than the third level, could not appear in the ancient relics, otherwise they would be easily put out by strange fires.

"I don't know what the jade tooth in my mouth is about. Ji Fan had felt that it was not easy to store jade teeth, but after the trip to the ancient relics, he was even more sure of this.

Discovering the Demon Stone, Ji Fan couldn't help but think of Ruan Yan's owl, but he felt that such a valuable thing should not be left here.

After Ruan Yan was annihilated, Ji Fan checked her storage embroidery bag, and indeed did not find the Demon Stone of the Light Thunder Owl.

Covered with the box, Ji Fan didn't have the slightest idea of fighting the demon stone.

Out of Ruan Yan's dormitory, the young woman in the plain skirt was waiting outside, her expression a little gloomy.

"It's been a good few years, no matter what, there is still one disciple left in the peak vein. The young woman in the plain skirt faced Ji Fan and sorted out her emotions a little, obviously talking about him.

"Master, when the disciple came back before, he met someone from the dark vein, saying that he was ordered by the Venerable Peak Vein to go out to select materials. Ji Fan bowed his head and said to the young woman in the plain skirt.

"You have almost disappeared for three months, and there must be an explanation to the outside world, but these are small sections, after all, your master is still there, and he can help you turn around. The young woman in the plain skirt nodded to Ji Fan.

"The disciple has returned to the cave. ”

Ji Fan bowed to the young woman in the plain skirt and was about to leave the courtyard.

"Xiao Fan, have you seen the Demon Stone left by Yan'er?" the young woman in the plain skirt stopped Ji Fan and asked him.

"See. ”

Ji Fan only felt that the children of the big family, things were different, and there must be a difference between the Demon Stone and the Beast Stone.

"That demon stone was left to you by Ruan Yan, and there is a light thunder owl in it. The young woman in the plain skirt handed Ji Fan a handwritten letter.

"Senior brother, seeing the words like faces, I call you so in my heart for the first time, I know that there is little hope of inheriting the ancient relics this time, but I still have to try my best, for Ruan Yan, this is also the first time I have joined the sect, I don't know what kind of mood you should have for the master and the master, the light thunder owl Yan'er left, if you can't hide it from the ancient relics, it's cheap, senior brother, seeing that you are so poor, you should be looking for a double cultivator's treasure, to be honest, with the ability of the senior brother, you should raise the momentum a little more, don't weaken the prestige of the soul cultivation peak......" Ruan Yan's words are beautiful, and even a faint image appears on the letter.

Ji Fan saw that there was no expression on his face, and his heart still couldn't help but feel sour, not because Ruan Yan left him a demon beast, but because the words were endless, revealing a different feeling.

The letter is a love object, feeling Ruan Yan's mentality and emotions, Ji Fan secretly sighed that it would be difficult to see each other again.

Ji Fan read the letter silently, and immediately put it away properly, he was not very interested in the light thunder owl.

Just partnering with the little hedgehog, Ji Fan was already under a lot of pressure, not to mention one more Ruan Yan's huge owl, if he accepted it, he would have to starve to death.

"This light thunder owl was a sixth-level demon beast before, beyond the level of the dawn of human cultivation, and has the combat power of the Zhongtian Realm, it really can't afford to raise it under normal circumstances, but what Ruan Yan planted for it seems to be a kind of ancient extraction mark, even if it was not brought into the ancient relic, it still borrowed its power before that, and it is very weak now, not only has the level dropped, but it is also in danger. The young woman in the plain skirt said that Ji Fan, who was still moved just now, looked a little strange.

"Is this a treasure, or let me save the owl's life?" Ji Fan smiled bitterly secretly, this is not only not cheap, but cumbersome.

"Speaking of Xiaofan, you have also reached the age of setting a double cultivator, do you have a favorite object in the sect? The young woman in the plain skirt didn't give Ji Fan the demon stone left by Ruan Yan, and it seemed that it was not appropriate.

"Nope. ”

Ji Fan was slightly embarrassed, he thought of Ye Yao and Su Yan.

The reason why he didn't say anything about the marriage seal with Su Yan was more because he couldn't open his mouth.

Whether it is in a family or a sect, it is a shame and a great shame to be divorced, and it will even make it difficult for him, his family, and his elders to raise their heads and be pointed at.

Ji Fan is not without self-esteem, but his emotions are more restrained.

Finding that Ji Fan's expression was a little strange, the young woman in the plain skirt was surprised.

"Your master said that when the sect is opened next year, the Soul Raising Peak will also try to attract some disciples up the mountain, and the fate ceremony will also be decided, and when the disciples of the top ten demon sects will gather, there will be a big competition of the ten demon dao lists, if Xiao Fan likes which female disciple, he must seize the opportunity. The young woman in the plain skirt reminded with a smile.

A string of handbells with cracks, the young woman in the plain skirt gave it early as a gift to Ji Fan to find a double monk.

Listening to Ning Anyuan mention the matter of the double cultivators again, Ji Fan's mood was a little restless.

"It seems that the sect's fateful ceremony should have been set when the Xuanyin Mountain Range first appeared turbulent, otherwise even if the master mentioned it, Ruan Yan would not mention it in the letter!" Ji Fan felt that it was because of the changes in the ancient relics that the fateful ceremony was suppressed.

"It's been three days since I came back, and my master feels that you are a little impatient, is it because you have cultivated the silk winding technique and lowered your rank?"

"It's not entirely because of the decline in rank, the disciple just feels that all directions of cultivation are too mysterious and complicated, no matter how much time there is, it is not enough, and it is not easy to advance to the realm!" Ji Fan said with a wry smile.

"When you are a low-level monk, when you first come into contact with the way of cultivation, you need to learn a lot of things, if it is so easy to cultivate, there will be no distinction between cultivators and mortals, the strong and the weak, not only in the cultivation world, but also in the world, there are many doors and learning, only by accumulating to a certain extent, can you become proficient, every monk is learned little by little, I believe that with hard training, your skills will also make great progress. The shallow smile of the young woman in the plain skirt has the meaning of not worrying.

"The disciple has returned to the cave. ”

Ji Fan bowed respectfully and left the courtyard.

As soon as Ji Fan left with his front foot, Mu Huaisheng appeared in the courtyard south of Fengmai.

"Senior brother, Xiao Fan seems to have a favorite person. Ning Anyuan smiled and said to Mu Huaisheng who appeared.

"Just that stinky boy, even if he likes others, no one is interested in him. The obese middle-aged man pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"What do you say, I think Xiao Fan is better than them. Regarding Mu Huaisheng's statement, the young woman in the plain skirt was very dissatisfied.

"Forget it, a person who is almost twenty years old, at best, has good facial features, is a little taller, does not look jade, has no family background, and is not nameless, you ask the female disciples of the sect, which one will be interesting to her?" Mu Huaisheng became more and more angry the more he spoke, hating iron and not making steel.

"If you don't look for a double cultivator, I'm afraid it will be delayed, if there can be a double cultivator, Xiao Fan's cultivation can be faster, you have to pay attention to this matter, senior brother, don't keep saying something frustrating." "The young woman in the plain skirt has the meaning of taking responsibility in this regard.

"Hmph, whether it is a female disciple of the sect or a female cultivator outside the sect, who doesn't like heroes of the world? And he, there is no pride at all, the soldiers of the dynasty also know that glory is my life, glory is my name, but he is a person who walks in the shadows. Mu Huaisheng snorted coldly, and then took a deep breath.

"There are still some changes compared to before, at least it won't be silent, probably because of the relationship between cultivating the Fan Breath Technique, just looking at the ordinary, in fact, throwing away the time to cultivate the Heavenly Dry Zen and return to the innate time, Xiao Fan can have such an entry now, it is quite rare, and over time, he will definitely be stronger. The young woman in the plain skirt looked expectant.

"The aura of the Xuanyin Mountain Range is declining day by day, how can there be too much time waiting for him to become stronger, and there are no disciples in the sect who are too suitable, who can become a strong support for him, the road of fighting alone is destined to be difficult, if Ruan Yan is still there, the situation may be better. Mu Huaisheng let out a sigh of relief, and rarely showed a worried look.

"In the matter of recruiting disciples, Senior Brother's mind has changed, is it looking forward to cultivating disciples who can support Xiao Fan?" Ning Anyuan looked at Mu Huaisheng and asked.

"If there is, there is no need to wait until now, there is a turmoil in the Xuanyin Mountain Range, the sect and the sect have a lot of affairs to do, and he can't do it alone, I will go out of the sect and walk around in a few days to see if I can find children with relatively good qualifications." Mu Huaisheng was not very optimistic.

"The girl brought back by Xiaofan is very strong in spirit, and she is suitable for soul cultivation, but she is a miscellaneous spiritual root, the five elements lack fire, and the spiritual posture can't even reach Ding, so I will leave her in the Soul Devouring Bamboo Forest for the time being. The young woman in the plain skirt shook her head regretfully.

"We don't even have a miscellaneous disciple in our Soul Cultivation Peak, so it's better to leave her in the peak to do some errands. Mu Huaisheng wiped his eyelids and said.

Unlike the young woman in the plain skirt who discussed the matter of the lineage with Mu Huaisheng, Ji Fan, who returned to the mountainside cave on the west side of the Soul Raising Peak, sat against the cave wall.

Thinking of Ye Yao, who had sung before, Ji Fan was somewhat disappointed.

Ji Fan stretched out his left forearm slightly, and glanced at the small Yanzi mark that was gradually revealed.

After cultivating the Heavenly Dry Zen and returning to the innate nature, although Ji Fan broke out of the cocoon, he found that the marriage seal on the inside of his left forearm was getting deeper and deeper, and it was not faded away with the broken cocoon body.

If it weren't for Ji Fan's use of a hidden vein to cover up the marriage seal, the marriage mark on his left forearm would still be easily exposed.

Ji Fan remembered that when he was in the Ji Mansion, the old man of the Su family brought Su Yan to withdraw from the marriage, and despite his seemingly serious illness, he couldn't help but clench his left fist.

Although there was humiliation and unwillingness in his heart, he didn't think about revenge against Ji Fan.

If there is a chance to meet Su Yan in the future and remove this marriage seal, Ji Fan feels that he has an explanation for both parties and has been spared this shackle.

Is there still a chance to see Su Yan in the future? Qinglan Sect is located in the south of Cangluan Prefecture, far away from the domain of Wanshan Mountain, and even needs to cross the middle of Cangluan Prefecture, Ji Fan is not sure whether he and Su Yan can have their lives and live to meet each other one day in this troubled world.

"If one of Su Yan and I dies, the previous entanglement will dissipate. Ji Fan was now quite sure that Su Yan was not dead, because the marriage seal of the Yan character on his left forearm had not dissipated, but had become more and more green.

I don't know if it's a marriage relationship, Ji Fan seems to have a very faint and mysterious feeling for Su Yan.

In fact, after escaping from the ancient relics before, Ji Fanneng realized that this time was a hurdle for the sect, and something big would happen, but he still came back.

The reason why Ji Fan did not leave the Xuanyin Sect was mainly due to three reasons, one was that he was not at ease with his master and his mother, and he also had feelings for the lineage and the sect, and the other was that it was not safe outside the sect, and the environment in some dangerous places in the Ten Thousand Mountains was harsh, even if he was stronger than before, he still did not dare to meet the real powerhouse, and the last reason was that he felt that the Xuanyin Sect was probably not what he knew on the surface.

The Xuanyin Sect has been in existence for two thousand seven hundred years, and the first seat of the Soul Cultivation Peak alone has reached the eighth generation, Ji Fan guessed that even if there is no powerful old monster in the sect, judging from the situation of guarding the mountain peak, there must be something powerful.

"Next year, the sect will be opened, not to mention the big competition of the disciples in the sect, as well as the big competition of the Great Ceremony and the Ten Demon Dao List, it seems that there are really a lot of grand events in the sect!" Ji Fan released the Imperial Beast Stone and the corpse coffin pendant from the Qianjun Ring.

From the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range to the present, Ji Fan has calculated the time, and it has really been nearly ten years.

The once every ten demons list competition, for many disciples, is about who is the leader of the younger generation in the Ten Thousand Mountains Domain, when the young heroes of the Ten Great Demon Sects and the proud daughters of the heavens will attack towards glory, and they will probably pay the price of their lives.

As far as Ji Fan knows, the big competition of the Ten Demon Dao List is not like the big competition of the disciples of the Xuanyin Sect, which is carried out in the way of performing martial arts, and the life and death of the Ten Demon Dao List are not mattered, for the glory of the sect and individuals, many disciples will do their best, even if they die in battle.

In fact, until now, Ji Fan doesn't quite understand the meaning of the word glory, because since he was a child, he has not experienced a moment of glory, so he has no understanding of it.
