Chapter 63: The Unexpected
"Stop!"
However, at this moment, Li Qinglan had woken up at some point, and stopped angrily.
"Senior sister, why did you wake up?"
Seeing that Li Qinglan had woken up, Lu Taihao immediately walked over with a very concerned expression.
"I have checked the identity of this Elder Zhou, and I am about to go to the master to report this matter. ”
But Li Qinglan didn't seem to be pretentious about this Lu Taihao, but protected Qin Ming and said with a displeased expression.
"Since Senior Sister said so, let's go and report to the Elders of the Sect first. ”
Lu Taihao nodded hurriedly, with Li Qinglan's support, Lu Taihao naturally couldn't let this Yu Shi continue to suppress Qin Ming, so as not to leave a bad impression on Li Qinglan.
He raised his hand and shot out a white light, imprisoned the stone, and then said to Qin Ming: "Your Excellency is carrying the jade plate of Elder Zhou, although this jade plate is true, but this matter is very important, please follow me and report it to the elders in the sect." ”
After speaking, Lu Taihao stared at Qin Ming, and immediately drove away and flew towards the largest floating island with the two of them.
Lu Taihao's sword light was extremely fast, and it landed in the palace complex on the floating island after a while.
When a young Taoist saw Lu Taihao coming, he immediately greeted him, his expression quite flattering.
Lu Taihao didn't want to waste more time, so he simply explained a few words to that person, and then turned to Qin Ming and said: "This is the Ziwei Palace of Zhou Tian Star Palace, the star lord has been in retreat and cultivation for a long time, and at present, the head of the three star palaces, the Elder of Ziwei Palace, Hai Zhiya, is in charge of the affairs of the sect, I will send Senior Sister Li to cure the poison first, and you wait here first." ”
After speaking, Lu Taihao took Li Qinglan to soar into the sky with the sword light and flew towards the center of the palace.
The young Taoist got Lu Taihao's order and immediately led Qin Ming towards the palace.
That young Taoist was only a cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of refining the body, and he was also a miscellaneous servant in this Zhou Tianxing Palace, but he was very familiar with the situation of Zhou Tianxing Palace, and he was constantly introduced along the way.
Qin Ming followed unhurriedly and looked at this palace carefully, only to see that this palace was richly decorated, with red walls and green tiles, rockeries and flowing water everywhere, full of greenery, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland on earth.
After walking to a quiet courtyard, the young Taoist said: "This is the side hall of Taiwei Star Palace, please wait here, Senior Brother Lu is afraid that it will take a while for Senior Brother Lu to come." ”
Qin Ming nodded, he still had this bit of patience, and after entering the small courtyard, Qin Ming meditated cross-legged on the bed and cultivated quietly.
When Qin Ming was promoted to the innate qi, the sea of qi turned into three thousand zhang innate qi, and the foundation was very solid, but if he didn't hurry up and cultivate, he didn't know when the three thousand zhang innate qi would have to be refined, and if he didn't let Lin Jing rush in front of him when the time came, it would be a shame.
Now Qin Ming's sea of qi has only been refined close to forty zhang, and it is still far from three thousand zhang.
After about half a day, Qin Ming, who was cultivating, suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door of the small courtyard, immediately interrupted his meditation, walked over and opened the door to take a look, but saw a woman wearing a cyan Luo skirt.
The person who came was Li Qinglan, her poison seemed to have healed, and her face had regained her ruddyness, but as soon as she saw Qin Ming, she had an apologetic look on her face: "The situation was urgent that day, and I forgot to thank my son for saving his life, and Qinglan made a special trip to thank him today." ”
"You're not just here to tell the news, are you?"
Qin Ming noticed that her expression was a little strange, and he suddenly had some premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Li Qinglan said with some embarrassment: "Zhou Tianxing Palace has already made a decision on your affairs, and after a round, the elders said that Elder Zhou is no longer an elder of Tianshi Palace, and he has no right to accept inner disciples, but Gongzi's sincerity is commendable, and he can give a bottle of Huayuan Pill for encouragement." ”
After she said this, an angry look suddenly appeared on her face.
On that day, Lu Taihao took her to Ziwei Palace and reported the matter to the elders of Ziwei Palace, but Hai Zhiya, the palace master of Ziwei Palace, was very cold, and just gave a bottle of Huayuan Pill and sent the matter away.
Li Qinglan also argued with reason at that time, but although she was a true disciple, she was weak, and even if she strongly opposed it, she was also suppressed by the elders who had an absolute numerical advantage.
"In other words, they didn't admit it, and let me take a bottle of pill and leave mellowly?"
After listening to these words quietly, Qin Ming sneered in his heart, but his face was extremely calm.
Zhou Chongxing passed down the Yang Xingchen refining technique, which indirectly saved Qin Ming's life, and it was because of him that Qin Ming was grateful and chose to invest in Zhou Tianxing Palace.
He has the lifelong martial arts memory of the great monk of the Yuan Fetal Realm, as well as the great killing weapon such as the Titan Star Fortress, and the foundation of the innate is extremely strong, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is holding two golden thighs, if Zhou Tianxing Palace is willing to accept this disciple, I am afraid that he will wake up with a smile in his dream after a hundred years.
But they used a bottle of Huayuan Dan to send themselves away at will, what is the difference between this and sending a beggar?
"There are some things that shouldn't have been told to Gongzi, but Qinglan is not unhappy, and later Senior Brother Lu also revealed some to me, Elder Zhou Chongxing advocates self-reliance, and the elixir of Zhou Tianxing Palace must be planted by himself, so as not to be curbed by others, but the elder of Ziwei Palace, Hai Zhiya, strongly advocates buying it from the Medicine King Valley, one of the five factions of the righteous path, saying that the cultivation of elixir in our Zhou Tianxing Palace is not a climate, with this time and manpower, it is better to concentrate on letting the disciples cultivate, as long as the cultivation goes up, and what do you say that the five sects of the righteous path are the same, it is impossible to be clamped down......”
Li Qinglan's face was not angry, and she told Qin Ming everything she knew.
Qin Ming is a human being, and he sees the problem much more thoroughly than her, and after just thinking about it, he understands the relationship of interests.
The amount of elixir required by each sect is huge, if it is purchased from other sects, the oil and water in it are self-evident, although Zhou Chongxing's old stubborn proposition is reasonable, it cannot withstand this huge benefit.
Not to mention, people walk like tea, if Zhou Chongxing still has a disciple in power, it would be fine, but Zhou Chongxing has been dead for hundreds of years, even if he used to be the star palace elder of Tianshi Palace, how much influence can he have now?
"The cultivation of elixirs in the Medicine King Valley is indeed much higher and faster than ours, with the same amount of time, if you organize disciples to go out to hunt demon beasts to earn Chiyang Stone Yuan Liquid, it will be several times faster than planting it yourself, so it is better to buy it, this has always been the mainstream argument in Zhou Tian Star Palace, and Elder Zhou was also rejected by others because of this, and became the most powerless Star Palace Elder, and in the end, he even encountered a catastrophe on the way out to find medicine, and his soul was scattered. ”
Li Qinglan sighed and said slightly apologetically: "However, since Gongzi has saved Qinglan's life, then Qinglan will definitely not let Gongzi run in vain, and in three months, it will be the day when our Star Palace will open the mountain gate to accept apprentices." As a true disciple and the head of the Seven Suzaku Houses in the South, I have my own floating island 'Blue Sea Heavenly Palace' as a dojo, so I can directly accept Gongzi as a disciple in the apprenticeship ceremony and become a ...... of inner disciples."
She didn't say a word, although there were a few disciples in her Bihai Heavenly Palace, Qin Ming was the only male disciple in the Bihai Heavenly Palace, which made her feel a little weird.
Miss Li thanked her kindly, but there was no need to say more. ”
But after Qin Ming heard his words, he smiled and shook his head.
This kind of thing like charity, Qin Ming is unwilling to accept it, and he doesn't care about it.
"I was going to have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch, since this is the case, then I will rely on my own ability to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony. ”
Qin Ming's body exuded an extremely confident momentum, since Zhou Chongxing was going to tea and cool, and those elders refused to let him get started, then he would go and win a place as an inner disciple in the apprenticeship ceremony.
"What?"
Li Qinglan looked surprised, as if he thought he had heard it wrong.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to pass this apprenticeship ceremony, are you sure you want to participate in it yourself?"
Li Qinglan reminded Qin Ming euphemistically.
The ceremonies of Zhou Tianxing Palace's acceptance of disciples every ten years are a major event, attracting tens of thousands of people to participate each time, but there are not many places.
Only one hundred outer disciples and twenty inner disciples are accepted at a time, this is the limit, unless there are people with particularly good qualifications to make an exception.
If it was so easy for an inner disciple to become an inner disciple, then now Zhou Tianxing Palace would not just be just a thousand inner disciples.
At least, in Li Qinglan's opinion, with Qin Ming's innate early stage cultivation, it was already very good to be able to obtain a place for an outer disciple in the fierce competition, let alone a place for an inner disciple that was several times more difficult than this!
"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more, you have just recovered from poisoning, you don't have to work hard, it's better to rest more. ”
Qin Ming smiled slightly, this was equivalent to an eviction order.
Li Qinglan's eyes widened, but he found that Qin Ming's expression was extremely serious, and he didn't look like he was joking.
"Childe has a life-saving grace for me, Qinglan can't repay it, these three bottles of Ning Yuan Dan are better pills than Huayuan Dan, just suitable for Childe to take in the congenital period, so I will give it to Childe as a thank you gift. Don't be sad if Childe can't pass, there will still be an apprenticeship ceremony in another ten years, and then Childe will come to me with a jade card. ”
She sighed with a slight regret, took out a bottle of Huayuan Pill and handed it to Qin Ming, and then took out three bottles of pills and a jade plate from her body and handed them to Qin Ming together. Qin Ming didn't shirk either, he exchanged three bottles of the source of life for three bottles of Ning Yuan Dan, he really said that he still suffered a little, but he didn't care about these.
After doing all this, Li Qinglan said goodbye, and directly took the sword light and flew back.
"Hmph, people walk like tea, these guys who look down on people with dogs. ”
Qin Ming closed the door of the small courtyard, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Originally, he thought that Zhou Chongxing's jade plate would be enough for him to enter Zhou Tianxing Palace to learn art, and the subsequent road would be much easier, but he never thought that such a change would occur now.
Although Qin Ming is low-key, he is an extremely arrogant person in his heart, since there is still an apprenticeship ceremony three months later, then Qin Ming will become an inner disciple with his strength at the apprenticeship ceremony, and use the identity of this inner disciple to slap the elders who are dog-eyed and low-looking!
"Three months later, the apprenticeship ceremony, let's wait and see!"
