Liu Jianyuan nodded.

"That's right, the Lingchi competition is about to begin. The City Lord's Mansion and the two Martial Mansions, the three families took turns to hold the Lingchi Competition. It just so happened that this time it was our turn to be held by the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion. ”

"The time of the Lingchi competition has not been completely fixed, but it is limited to ten years, and it is okay to hold this for half a year before and after. The ten-year period of the Lingchi Fight had arrived two months earlier, but the Wufu side had been delaying. ”

Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why delay?"

As soon as he said this, Liu Jianyuan smiled bitterly.

"It's not that the Martial Mansion wants to delay, but this time, our Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion doesn't have any suitable inner disciples to participate in this competition. If only it were usual, forget it. But this time, the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion is the organizer, and if none of the five places can compete for it, it will be shameless. ”

Sun Cheng also understood.

After all, the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion is one of the three top forces in White Tiger City, and if you can't even compete for one of the five places, it's really not good-looking.

In the past, if the face was not good-looking, it was not good-looking, so if you fool around, it will pass.

But this time it was the hosts, the center of attention. If you want to fool the past, you really can't do it. At that time, if there is really no one from the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion in the list of five people, I am afraid that the status of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion as one of the two major martial arts will not be guaranteed.

The people of the entire White Tiger City would doubt the ability of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion to teach its disciples.

"Then Uncle Ancestor, what do you mean, is this competition about to start now?"

Liu Jianyuan nodded and said, "Why not? Before, we were worried that it would not look good, but now it's different, doesn't our Martial Mansion have you? Your strength, not to mention anything else, even the crisis under the diamond mine has been solved by you, and just now with that Zhou Dinghai also shook the punch, it is enough to show that although your cultivation is only one in the Lingwu Realm, but your strength is almost able to reach the level of four invincibility in the Lingwu Realm." With such strength, there won't be too many problems in Lingchi Competition. ”

Sun Cheng nodded.

For Liu Jianyuan's hope, he still agrees with it.

In any case, if he really opened the Spirit Pool Competition, he would obtain a good term in it, at least the name of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion would be preserved, and he would be able to get the opportunity to enter the Taixu Spirit Pool to cultivate.

Originally, he still wanted to cultivate step by step and improve his cultivation little by little, but now that there was a threat from Zhou Dinghai, time was waiting for no one, and he had to seize every opportunity to break through quickly.

Afterwards, Liu Jianyuan continued: "Sun Cheng, how long will it take for you to prepare here? You can tell me the time, I can negotiate with the other elders of the Martial Mansion to set the time for the Lingchi Dabi." ”

Sun Cheng was stunned, but he didn't expect that such an important competition in Lingchi Dabi would be based on his own time.

However, he didn't care much about the time, after all, whether he was cultivating, martial spirit, or martial arts, he had already reached the peak, and if he wanted to have a relatively big breakthrough, it would be impossible to achieve it in a short period of time.

After waiting for a while, Sun Cheng suddenly thought that he didn't have a war knife in his hand, so he said, "Uncle Shi, I don't know if it is possible to set the time of the Lingchi Dabi in a month?"

"Naturally, it is. Liu Jianyuan nodded and agreed, but still asked, "I see that your cultivation has also stabilized, and you can't break through in a short period of time, what do you need to do in this month?"

Sun Cheng replied: "The disciple still lacks a war knife to take advantage of, and he wants to take advantage of this time to create a war knife." ”

Liu Jianyuan understood, so he said: "You broke through the Lingwu Realm, and I, as a senior uncle, didn't give you a celebration. Why don't I give you a sword? It just so happens that my collection is all with me, I open the dragon pattern ring, and your consciousness probes into it, and you pick a handle at random. ”

Hearing this, Sun Cheng's heart was shocked, this kindness was great.

For a warrior, the dragon pattern ring is the gathering place of most of his property, and it is one of the secrets related to his life. is so unabashedly open to people, not to mention anything else, but just this trust is enough to move people.

After thinking about it, Sun Cheng still resisted the temptation and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ancestor, but the apprentice Sun also has some good materials in his hands, and this time he just took them out to build a battle knife." ”

"You. Liu Jianyuan scolded with a smile and said, "That's it, since that's the case, I won't force it." I know a little bit about your martial arts, and the swords I have in my collection may not be very suitable for you. It's best if you build your own fit. But do you have the right dragon artist to build it for you?"

Sun Cheng was stunned, but he forgot about this stubble.

Although he himself is a mid-level first-grade dragon pattern master, whether it is cultivation or experience, it is not enough, if he forcibly builds his own natal battle knife, I am afraid that it will waste materials, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses.

"This, it's not suitable, I still need your help, Uncle Shi. ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Jianyuan laughed and said, "Finally, there is something that you kid can't do." In the west of the city, there is a Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the owner of it is especially good at creating dragon pattern divine weapons. However, the temper of the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is a little strange, and he generally ignores the living. You can take my name post later, and it may be useful. ”

As he spoke, Liu Jianyuan handed Sun Cheng a gilded name post, which was written with the three big characters of "Liu Jianyuan". In the font, there is a pine energy, which is completely consistent with the true yuan breath in its body, and outsiders can't do it even if they want to imitate it.

Sun Cheng respectfully accepted the name post.

"Alright, now that we're done, it's time for me to go. Liu Jianyuan stood up and walked out of the side hall with his feet raised.

Sun Zhengyang had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and as soon as he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Zhengyang, you can take some time to participate in the test of the inner disciples. Become an inner disciple earlier. and Sun Cheng, his inner door promotion ceremony has not yet been held, it just so happens that your father and son are together. It's a good story when the time comes. ”

Sun Zhengyang was a little embarrassed, but under Liu Jianyuan's majestic gaze, he was still defeated, bowed down and replied, "Yes." ”

Then, Liu Jianyuan laughed, and the whole person rose into the sky, turned into a golden light, and disappeared in an instant.

Sun Cheng's eyes looked at Sun Zhengyang and said, "Dad, it's still early, so you just listen to Uncle Liu and go to the inner disciple test." I've been waiting for you for the promotion ceremony. ”

"Go, go, go. Just you kid talk a lot of nonsense. ”

Sun Zhengyang glared at Sun Cheng facelessly, but he still flew up and jumped towards the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion.

Sun Zhengyang's cultivation has reached the Lingwu Realm for some time, and with the help of Sun Chenglong's true element, the true yuan in his body is extremely condensed and stable, and the mere "Ascension Spiritual Road" is naturally difficult for him.

In addition to entering the outer mansion at the beginning, because he had disappeared for more than ten years, causing others to confirm his identity and delaying a lot of time, on the path of ascension, he passed smoothly and became an inner disciple.

Then, the promotion ceremony was held in the evening without too much delay.

I have to say that Sun Zhengyang and Sun Cheng, the father and son, held a promotion ceremony at the same time, which is something that has never happened in the history of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion.

For a while, it almost caused a shock in the entire Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion.

In addition to the lord of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion and the first seat of the two courtyards, the two heads of the Tibetan Scripture Academy and the Chuangong Academy all appeared in person at the ceremony.

As for the other elders, deacons, and inner disciples, in addition to those who were in retreat, there were also those who were far away from home on a mission and couldn't come back, almost all of them had arrived.

This also led to the fact that the number of spectators of the entire promotion ceremony broke through the standard of 1,000 people very rarely, and it was also the highest number in history among all promotion ceremonies.

For a time, whether it was the promotion ceremony of the father and son at the same time, or the number one attendee, it was enough for the promotion ceremony of Sun Zhengyang and Sun Cheng, father and son, to be recorded in the history of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion.

Even in the entire White Tiger City, it became a good story for a while.

After the promotion ceremony, Sun Cheng separated a trace of his natal soul and turned it into a soul fire, integrating it into the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion's Qi Luck Torch.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that the rise and fall of his fate seemed to be closely linked to the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion.

If the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion is prosperous, then his martial arts path will be extremely smooth, and if the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion declines, then after his subsequent martial arts, I am afraid it will also be deeply affected.

Sun Cheng could feel that if he wanted to completely get rid of the shackles of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion, he was afraid that he would have to break through his cultivation to the level of the Martial Emperor before he had this possibility.

Of course, he didn't want to break away from this bondage. Because when he found that his soul fire was burning in the torch of luck of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion, his whole soul was so warm, as if he was on his own martial arts path, and he was no longer lonely, and every step would be encouraged by countless partners side by side, and his steps were so solid and powerful.

Even in his previous life, Sun Cheng, as Emperor Wu, had never had an experience.

At this moment, Sun Cheng finally understood why the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion was able to inherit for thousands of years in a wild world and be with the White Tiger City.

Almost every time, at the most critical moment in White Tiger City, it was the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion that stood up, and only then did it resist the threat.

It is precisely because of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion that the sages of the past dynasties and the children of the same generation are all connected by the torch of luck and share weal and woe. Usually I can't see it, but as long as there is a life-and-death juncture, the most critical moment, the power of this martial arts sect will finally be reflected.

The Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion is the ultimate belonging of every Martial Mansion disciple!

It is precisely because of understanding these things and feeling these things.

It was also from this moment that Sun Cheng no longer regarded the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion as a piece of scenery on his cultivation path, but truly integrated himself into it, and his sense of belonging to the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion became stronger and stronger.

At the moment when the soul fire merged into the torch of luck, Sun Chengcheng found that his cultivation, which had been silent, actually began to loosen, and the dragon vein true yuan in his body was like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, galloping recklessly.

Almost in just a short moment, his cultivation has improved a lot, although there is still a distance from the cultivation of the Lingwu Realm Double, but it is not too far. It was almost a year of his normal cultivation.

Sun Cheng also asked his father and found that he did not have such a harvest.

This made Sun Cheng a little puzzled, and he didn't know if it was because of the merit of cultivating the supreme martial arts, or because of the condensation of the dragon god martial spirit.

I just thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a result.

However, if he didn't understand, Sun Cheng didn't bother to think about it. He only knew one, and his connection with the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion would become deeper and deeper in the future.

Like Sun Cheng, Sun Zhengyang also had his own small mansion in the Dongling Courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion.

However, after discussing it, the two small mansions in the Dongling Courtyard can only be temporarily empty and not permanently inhabited.

It's not that Sun Cheng and Sun Zhengyang look down on it. After all, the scenery in the temple is really superb.

But there are also inconvenient places, that is, they are located in the inner mansion of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion, like Fu Bo and Aunt Xue, although they can enter and exit, but every time they enter and exit, there will be various investigations, almost isolated from the world.

Similar to Aunt Xue, who mainly cultivates dragon pattern masters, it is really inconvenient. After all, in the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion, almost all of them are martial artists, and there is almost no existence of dragon pattern masters. If Aunt Xue wants to continue cultivating dragon pattern masters, she must communicate with other dragon pattern masters.

When Sun Cheng and Sun Zhengyang, father and son, made this decision, they didn't know how Meng Yao got the news, and even said that the Dongling Courtyard was too deserted, so they just vacated it, and moved their belongings into Sun's mansion, saying that they wanted to be Aunt Xue's companion.

Her thoughts, others naturally understand that this is to be stationed as a daughter-in-law.

However, Sun Zhengyang and Song Xueqing are also extremely satisfied with Meng Yao, and it is too late to raise their hands in favor, so naturally they will not oppose it, although Sun Cheng has the intention to oppose it, but the minority is against the majority, and the opposition is invalid.

As for those warriors who were brought by Sun Zhengyang from Qingyang Town, Sun Zhengyang also listened to the advice, knowing that there were many people, and it didn't make any sense, but the whole Sun Mansion was in a mess first.

In the end, after a handsome selection, in addition to the original twenty maids and servants who were more convenient to use, the other warriors also left fifty people.

They are all martial artists who are young and flexible, and the other ones who are older and fish in troubled waters are basically all dismissed.

Of course, Sun Cheng didn't treat them badly, and each of them gave fifty lower-grade spirit stones, spending a total of seven thousand lower-grade spirit stones on Sun Cheng.

For the martial artists of the Yuan Martial Realm, fifty lower-grade spirit stones were already a huge amount of money, worth equivalent to millions of taels of gold. This made the vast majority of the dismissed warriors very satisfied.

Of course, there are also some arrogant people, after being dismissed, they are also dissatisfied, but under Sun Cheng's strong suppression, they are no longer satisfied, and they dare not talk nonsense.

After all, Sun Cheng's deterrent power is not a joke, almost as soon as his Heavenly Sword Sword intent comes out, dealing with these martial artists who have been cultivated in the Yuan Martial Realm Nine Levels is really like gazing at the heavens, with infinite deterrent power, making people unable to resist at all.
