Chapter 13: Apprenticeship in Sword Valley

In the first layer of the Southern Forest, Zhou Fu led Ling Fan and Fang Xiaowu and others to move forward rapidly. Along the way, I didn't encounter any demon beasts with strong cultivation, and occasionally a few demon beasts who couldn't see the situation clearly were also solved by Zhou Fu, who was refining qi fivefold.

Along the way, Fang Xiaowu and the others were extremely impressed by the powerhouse of the Qi Refining Realm in front of them, and they couldn't help but make up their minds that they would work hard to cultivate in the future, open the Yuan as soon as possible, and become a powerhouse of the Qi Refining Realm.

For Ling Fan, he had already seen the strength of Ling Wang, Phantom Moon Fox and other Qi Refining Realm powerhouses, but he was a little interested in the sword technique used by Zhou Fu to disperse the demon beasts, which couldn't help but make him think that Fang Xiaowu and the others relied on the Clear Wind Sword Whirling Formation to fight against an enemy five times their size without falling behind, which made him even more curious about this sword sect.

In the Tianqian Continent, there are countless cultivators, and the weapons they use are also strange, but the most frequent and thoroughly studied ones are nothing more than knives, swords, and sticks. Ling Fan had carefully read "The Beginning of Swordsmanship" when he first cultivated, and he was also very fond of swords, but because his cultivation was still shallow, it was too early to learn martial arts, so it was better to focus on refining his body. Now, with the proficiency of the Ice Cold Refining Body, the cultivation of the Ice Xuandu, and the advantage of the Ice Xuanjin, Ling Fan pays more attention to the learning of martial arts such as fists and palms, not to mention that those beast masters who teach Ling Fan fighting skills are all like bears and tigers, how can they know sword moves.

"Well, when you enter the Qingfeng Sword Valley in the future, you still have to seriously practice the sword duel, and you will always suffer a loss with your bare hands. Ling Fan said secretly in his heart.

Seeing that Ling Fan was silent, Fang Xiaowu took the initiative to ask: "Brother Jianchen, if you really have a heart, in the matter of apprenticeship to Sword Valley, brother and I should do my best." ”

"I don't think I'm a genius either, I'm helpless behind me, it's best if I can really join Qingfeng Sword Valley. Ling Fan also took the initiative to reply respectfully.

"Hahaha, little brother doesn't need to be like this, he can officially enter the valley after his identity is identified. Now the little brother will live in the camp outside the valley first. Zhou Fu also comforted Ling Fan after hearing this, in his opinion, Ling Fan and his fellow villagers dared to go deep into the Southern Forest with the cultivation of the physical cultivation realm, needless to say, this courage is needless to say, plus he survived alone after losing his teammates, which proves that he is not good, although he seems to be not a high cultivation, but it is not a loss to recruit into the valley.

"Outside the valley camp, Elder Zhou, could it be that the triennial assessment of recruiting disciples in the valley has started ahead of schedule?" Fang Xiaowu asked respectfully.

"Yes, it's a month ahead of schedule. Originally, everything was fine in this search operation, and I Qingfeng Sword Valley and the beast masters of the third layer had reached a tacit understanding, we only had to find people, and would not encroach on the beast master's territory, but I didn't think that those loose cultivators hired by the Ling family collided with each other and broke the rules, causing the beast masters to jointly attack, so the Law Enforcement Hall sent us to rescue people. Therefore, many monks wanted to take the opportunity to join my Sword Valley, and Elder Shui decided to take the assessment in advance. Zhou Fu explained.

"I see, I didn't expect the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall to be dispatched, it seems that the level of this crisis is not low. ”

"Hahahaha, Fang Xiaowu, you are also an old student, this time you handled it properly in the southern forest, and there was not a single person in the team, it is rare, much better than those disciples of the Qi Refining Realm in the inner gate. Zhou Fu looked at Fang Xiaowu with admiration.

In the past few days, he has rescued more than a dozen teams of Qingfeng Valley with Hu Tong, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Elder Shuiyue, but only Fang Xiaowu is full. Those Qi refining realm teams searched for deeper places, but the temptation was also the greatest, after all, the deeper they went to the southern forest, the more good things they had, and some demon beasts were treasures in themselves, so their enthusiasm for fighting was greater, and in the end, they could only be chased and killed by powerful beast masters and demon beasts far superior to themselves.

"The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple only knows that the junior brothers and sisters all believe in themselves and follow him, and the disciple has the responsibility to take them home. Fang Xiaowu said sincerely. Everyone in Qingfeng Valley on the side was also moved, Senior Brother Fang was a good senior brother, even Ling Fan had to admire him, Fang Xiaowu was indeed an upright and responsible person.

"Yes, work hard, Elder Ben is optimistic about you. Zhou Fu was also very pleased, if those inner disciples of the Qi Refining Realm had half of Fang Xiaowu's sense of responsibility, how could Qingfeng Sword Valley not prosper, but it was a pity......

After a short rest, Ling Fan finally arrived at the temporary camp outside Qingfeng Valley.

Before Ling, Ling Fan had also heard of Qingfeng Sword Valley, but because he was just an ordinary third-class force, he didn't take it seriously, but when Ling Fan came to Qingfeng Valley and really saw it, he found that this Qingfeng Valley was beyond imagination.

I thought that Qingfeng Valley was just an ordinary valley, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I found that this Qingfeng Valley was actually so big, at least ten times the size of Qianlong Villa, because it was from a high place to enter the valley, so Ling Fan could have a general view of Qingfeng Valley.

Seeing Ling Fan's shocked appearance, Fang Xiaowu said: "Brother Jianchen, my Qingfeng Valley is also one of the top two sects in Nanlin County, you look at the mist above the top of the valley, it is a psychedelic array, and there is also a terrifying sword path killing array in the illusion array, this is all for those monks who dare to trespass into Qingfeng Valley without permission." ”

"Oh, so you can only enter the Valley of the Breeze through the mouth of the valley?"

"Yes, maybe you can break through this phantom array and the killing array, but to be honest, I'm afraid that only the strong who refine the state of mind will have a chance. ”

"Xiaowu, I'll send you here, you lead the team down, take my token and arrange for Jianchen to live outside the valley now, and I'll go and make peace with Elder Shui." ”

"Disciple obeys!"

Qingfeng Sword Valley is surrounded by a forest, and a radius of ten miles is where the sentry position of Qingfeng Sword Valley is located, and there is no one to live. At this time, when I came to the mouth of the valley, hundreds of tents had been built and were neatly distributed on both sides of the valley. If you look closely, you can see that the shyokaze valley mouth is shrouded in mist from the top of the mountain, and the size of the valley mouth is not clear.

"How can there be so many people, no less than hundreds. ”

"Haha, Brother Jianchen, the strength of Qingfeng Sword Valley is obvious to all, many ordinary children, scattered cultivators, want to join everything, but this assessment is not so simple, it is about a tenth chance, these days, you stay first, rest well to have the strength to cope with the assessment." ”

Ling Fan was stunned for a while, he thought that he would be able to enter Qingfeng Valley after saving Fang Xiaowu's life, who would have thought that there would be so many things.

It didn't take long for Ling Fan to live in a camp tent on the left side under Fang Xiaowu's arrangement, the camp tent was not big, but it was quiet, and there was no one else in the surrounding tents.

As the sky got dark, Ling Fan tidied up a little, ready to rest early.

Meow...

A familiar voice attracted Ling Fan.

"Youxuan, is that you?"

In the darkness in the distance, a dark black figure gradually appeared in Ling Fan's eyes.

"Ling Fan, it seems that you will soon be able to enter the Qingfeng Sword Valley. Youxuan slowly walked over to Ling Fan's side and squatted down.

"Well, there is another assessment, but as far as I know, it is not a big problem. Ling Fan sat cross-legged across from Youxuan.

"Very well, there are only two things I have come for this time. First, you have to remember your identity, you are now Jianchen, the Jianchen of Wutong Town, Nanlin. During your study of art, you must be careful in your words and deeds, the sect is not a family, you have no relatives in the sect, and some are just competitors. Yu Xuan said solemnly, for a young master like Ling Fan, who was born rich and wealthy since he was a child, he could not predict the cruelty of the sect, and he had to be reminded of his fate from time to time.

"Don't worry, I understand that the heart of guarding against others is indispensable? Uncle Wang taught me since I was a child. "Ling Fan is not as nervous as Youxuan, and he is cautious everywhere.

"It's not enough to just defend against people, sometimes you need to take the initiative to make them disappear completely, and they don't even have the heart to harm you. ”

"Youxuan, don't you need to do this, isn't our plan this time to avoid Feng Yuan and steal the Kaiyuan Dan?

"Feng Yuan has returned to Qianlong Villa, the forest search operation is over, it is estimated that he will report to the Ling family, saying that you buried the beast tide, so you can study hard in Qingfeng Valley. This is also the meaning of Ling Wang, the Phantom Moon Fox. ”

In the planning of Youxuan and Ling Wang, Feng Yuan would find Ling Wang's traces, and then chase after him, and when he reached the designated location, he would find a piece of jade pendant, some torn clothes, and a mutilated corpse. Although these did not make Feng Yuan completely believe that Ling Fan was dead, the jade pendant left by Ling Wang was a must-have for the children of the Ling family, and he had to report it first. As for the monks hired by the Ling family, under the counterattack of the beast masters, they had no choice but to retreat, of course, there were the operations of the Phantom Moon Fox and others.

"Then you mean that I really want to cultivate here? It's been less than eight months since the Purple Shadow Divine Bat came out. ”

"You don't need to think about this, your purpose here is to cultivate well, your current strength in refining the sixth level of the body is still too weak, if you want to gain a firm foothold in a sect, first of all, your strength must be strong, like a sect like Qingfeng Sword Valley, you must at least refine the Qi Realm to have a foothold. ”

"I understand this, not only in the sect, but also in the family. Ling Fan said bitterly, it was his luck and his misfortune to be born in such a family, and everything had to be fought for by himself.

"The second thing is not to be found out that you will use the cold qi to refine your body, sometimes hiding clumsiness can save you a lot of trouble. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But there's one question I've always wanted to ask you. Ling Fan thought about it and said.

"If you think I won't answer, don't ask. ”

"What is your origin, I can see that although your cultivation is the lowest among all the beast masters, they all have you as the leader, which is different from the demon beast world I know. ”

"They listened to me because my decision was correct, and as for my origin, with your current cultivation, you are not qualified to know. I'll look for you again. With that, Youxuan disappeared into the darkness with one jump.

"Mysterious black cat, what is the secret. ”

......

Three days passed.

In the past three days, most of the expatriate disciples of Qingfeng Valley have returned, and the triennial entrance assessment is also ready to begin.

Outside the Qingfeng Sword Valley, there was already a sea of people. Among them, they are all scattered cultivators from all directions, and their strengths are also different, most of them are monks in the body refining realm, and only a small number of lower-level monks in the qi refining realm. For most sects, Qi Refining Realm cultivators are the mainstay, so as long as there is a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, joining the sect is generally not a problem. The monks of the Body Refining Realm need to be assessed before they can join, unless you are talented, but the most troublesome thing is that only newborn babies can test their compatibility with heaven and earth, so the entry assessment is particularly important.

Outside the valley, on a high platform, Shui Yue and other Qi Refining Realm masters of Qingfeng Valley stood side by side, waiting for the assessment personnel to assemble and the assessment officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Shui Yue, the hall master of the Alchemy Hall in the Lower Qingfeng Sword Valley, is the supervisor of this assessment. First of all, I would like to welcome you on behalf of Breeze Valley, so let's get started. The sound of the water moon resounded outside the valley, and the originally restless crowd gradually quieted down.

"Now you will do as I say. First, all Kaiyuan and Qi Refining Realm cultivators went to the right to report, and Elder Hu Tong personally tested it. Second, those who are over the age of nineteen in the Body Refining Realm will automatically withdraw. Third, the rest of the Body Refining Realm cultivators lined up in front of the Justice Stone on the left, testing them one by one, and those who reached the goal entered the valley. An old man who was refining qi six times said solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, the crowd below was also restless.

"What, wasn't the standard of three years ago a Refining Body Realm cultivator twenty years old, why is he nineteen years old this year?"

"I'm twenty years old this year, but I'm refining the body ninefold, and I will be able to open the Yuan soon, I don't accept it. ”

......

Dozens of Body Refining Realm cultivators over the age of nineteen asked angrily in dissatisfaction, including the relatives who came with them, all of them were indignant.

"Hmph, when is this? Shut up!" The sixfold aura of the Qi Refining Realm instantly filled the entire valley mouth, and the originally noisy crowd was instantly silent.

"If you want to enter my Qingfeng Sword Valley, you have to follow our rules. If you don't meet the rules, go, and the others do what you have to do. ”

"It's so magnificent, I will have this kind of cultivation in the future. ”

Everyone below was shocked.

The so-called justice stone is actually a dynamometer, in the middle of it is a red cross-shaped sign, which is also the place where the tester attacks, with the different strength of the monk, it will be centered on the cross-shaped sign, and shatter in all directions, when the edge of the fragmentation reaches the passing line, even if it passes, the justice stone returns to its original state after a few breaths.

"I see, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to get through. Ling Fan was gearing up, he knew the strength of his fist, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Finally it was Ling Fan's turn, as Ling Fan fisted, the stone shattered, and the level was passed, everything was expected.

"Hahahaha, you are Jianchen, Elder Zhou Fu said let me take care of you, it's really good, and then I will arrange someone to lead you into the valley." ”

"There's Elder Lao. ”

In front of everyone's surprised expressions, Ling Fan walked towards the same passing.

"Well, who is this kid?"

"I don't know, I guess it's also a background, be careful in the future. ”

......
