The stars in the night sky shone faintly, and the rain poured down, and the entire capital was shrouded in a fog.

Cao Rushan's figure was hidden in the formation technique, and he looked at the young man who climbed the stairs, and gradually disappeared on the stairs.

"His name is Li Mengzhou, and he is a disciple of the Imperial Sword Academy. ”

"I came to the capital in the early winter of last year, and I was still admitted to the palace because of the problem of not being able to see the sea of qi, and I was watched by many people in the capital, including cultivators and ordinary people, and was discussed by the people in the capital as waste firewood, and the most bizarre disciple of the Sword Academy had a great impact on the reputation of the Sword Academy at that time. ”

Although he has a great reputation, Guan Muyun, another person who is as famous as him, is a genius with the best results in the academy in recent years, which can be described as two extremes, but I don't know when it started, and the waste wood at that time also became a genius. ”

"From the early winter of last year to the end of spring this year, the days before he was admitted to the Palace Sword Academy were exempted, and he could barely be counted as half a year, although he was not qualified as a demon if he did not cross the threshold of the four realms, but that was under the condition of normal cultivation. ”

"Even if it is He Zhengrong, who is also a disciple of the Sword Academy, or Guan Muyun of the Academy, although the three of them embarked on the cultivation path almost at the same time, the latter two entered the meditation a few years earlier, but Li Mengzhou entered the meditation at the age of seventeen and directly entered the cultivation path, and there is still a difference in nature. ”

"It is not for nothing that people embark on the path of cultivation after the age of fifteen, but it must be very rare, and those who enter the meditation after the age of fifteen are even more unique, and in the long history of the world of cultivation, there is only a person without a name, and the final achievement is not very high, but it also stands at the peak of the four realms. ”

From this point of view, whether Li Mengzhou's qualifications are demonic or not, can not be guessed by common sense. ”

The guards of the Four Realms on the four floors looked at Cao Rushan who suddenly appeared, and said calmly, "Master Cao also thinks that young man has great potential?"

Cao Rushan said: "I just feel that he is a little different from others, so I can't help but care more." ”

The Four Realms guard was silent for a moment and said, "Master Cao has been looking for a talented formation master disciple, could it be that he is more optimistic about that young man?"

Cao Rushan also fell silent, for a long time, and muttered softly: "It's hard to say." ”

The Four Realms guard nodded and said, "It seems that Master Cao still needs to observe more, but that young man is a sword cultivator, if he learns other methods, Dean Xue is afraid that he will not agree." ”

Cao Rushan said with a little headache: "Because of this, I am a little hesitant, I don't have the courage to grab an apprentice with Dean Xue, besides, I just have this kind of thought, the most important thing is whether Li Mengzhou has the talent to become a formation artist, otherwise, everything is in vain, and I really need to observe it carefully." ”

After a while, Cao Rushan said again: "Li Mengzhou has entered the immortal world from the mundane world in half a year, but the age of stepping into the cultivation path is indeed a little late, and it is not easy to say whether he can cross the threshold of the four realms, although there is such a precedent in the world, but the possibility of occupying it is too small after all." ”

"If he has a very high level of qualifications and can cross the threshold of the Four Realms and then practice the formation technique, the benefits will naturally be very high, but in the case of cultivating both, it is inevitable that some problems will arise. ”

"If he can't cross the threshold of the Four Realms, it is equivalent to being eliminated in the world of the strong cultivators, and at this time, practicing the formation technique, he will be able to re-enter the world of the strong, and the benefits will be higher than the former. ”

"For this reason, I think he is more suitable, but I can't see exactly yet, I need to observe him slowly, and I need to observe other people again. ”

The guards of the Four Realms were silent for a moment and said, "Master Cao has been waiting for so long, and since he has found the right person, he doesn't care about waiting a little longer. ”

Cao Rushan nodded and said, "That's all it can be." ”

......

In the process of Li Mengzhou's climbing, the people on the fifth floor were not just watching.

Ascending the stairs is just gaining the qualifications to attend the banquet on the fifth floor.

On the fifth floor, those young cultivators who have successfully ascended the stairs can challenge themselves as they wish, like other disciples of the Cultivation Mountain Sect.

According to their respective cultivation realms, they are listed as three-realm challenges and four-realm challenges.

As the name suggests, young cultivators have to challenge each other in the same realm, and the very few people who have crossed the threshold of the four realms are all at the same stage, needless to say, but in the three realms, there is still a difference between the upper realm and the peak realm, and there is no doubt that those who are in the three realms can only be regarded as accompaniment.

Although there may be geniuses in the smaller realm, it definitely does not mean that everyone can do it, but even if you can't win, you can still learn a lot in battle.

Before Li Mengzhou climbed the fifth floor, there were already many battles over.

Now, everyone saw the figure ascending the stairs, and the five floors fell silent for a moment, and their eyes were fixed on the staircase entrance.

Finally, the sound of crisp footsteps gradually became clear.

A young man dressed in black with a sword in his hand stood on the floor of the five-story building.

The top of the temple is inlaid with something like a crystal, exuding a dazzling light, in fact, it is indeed a crystal, and there are many spiritual plants or spiritual objects in the world that have been cultivated by the aura of heaven and earth for many years.

These things do not have a real sense of life, nor do they transform into human beings as described in those words, but they are contaminated with aura, and have some spirituality that ordinary plants or objects do not have.

For example, the fairy bamboo in the sword courtyard can play a role in calming the mind, and the crystal on the top of the five-story hall is also like the stars in the night sky, which can emit a very dazzling light.

"Li Mengzhou, come here. ”

Jiang Zihua waved at Li Mengzhou and did not shout loudly, although he didn't care about any rules, but at the Panlong Banquet, in the face of many big people, he didn't dare to make too many mistakes.

Except for those staring eyes, not many people paid attention to Li Mengzhou.

But Li Mengzhou still clearly felt the strange gaze of the individual.

Xu Hexian's face was a little gloomy, but after all, he was the head of the first division of the Xuanzheng Division, and the bad gaze cast at Li Mengzhou was not completely subconscious, but there were some potential targets, except for Li Mengzhou, who was the target, he was not noticed by others.

Guan Muyun's gaze was a little complicated.

He clearly remembered the attitude he had expressed at the Palace Sword Courtyard at that time, but Li Mengzhou felt a little surprised and uneasy in the process of ascending the building.

Li Mengzhou didn't particularly care about the voices and strange eyes of the people in the capital because he couldn't see the sea of qi, but Guan Muyun was the opposite.

Although the two of them are equally famous, one is good and the other is bad, and those who feel uneasy should be bad people, but the reality is that Guan Muyun, who is very good in the eyes of many people in the capital, feels even more uneasy.

In his thoughts, no matter whether Li Mengzhou is a waste wood or a genius, but after all, he is also a disciple of the Palace Sword Academy, and after a short period of bad wind has passed, Li Mengzhou has shown his appearance as an absolute genius, which is what really makes Guan Muyun feel uneasy.

In fact, it is also a very understandable thing.

A person who has been belittled for a long time may gradually not care, and the person who has been praised and stood in a very high position suddenly perceives that the people at the bottom have a tendency to catch up, and the sense of uneasiness will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

And when Guan Muyun found out that Li Mengzhou had a high attainment in Danqing, he realized for the first time that he was inferior to the other party, and this seed of uneasiness had been planted, and in the follow-up events, Li Mengzhou continued to break through the realm, and when the name of the former waste wood was gradually forgotten, the sense of uneasiness gradually fermented, until it was out of control.

Guan Muyun is a person with strong self-esteem, and at the same time, he is also a person with a not very radical personality, the thoughts buried in his heart have never been spoken, and after a long time of squeezing, he cares about Li Mengzhou very much, and it is impossible to avoid it anymore.

At the same time, I also had the idea that I didn't want to be compared to Li Mengzhou.

Most of the ideas of readers are very complex, not as simple and simple as they seem on the surface, and it is easy to get into the horns.

Originally, he was just uneasy, but now that he witnessed Li Mengzhou's performance when he ascended the building, he had already surpassed him in comparison, and Guan Muyun's thoughts naturally became more complicated, and he also had the intention of being competitive.

While Li Mengzhou felt these two lines of sight, he also noticed another completely different line of sight.

It was a slightly fiery sight.

He walked towards the seat of the Imperial Sword Courtyard, looking for the line of sight.

In the end, his eyes were fixed on Tao Ye, who was relatively far away from the seat.

Among the disciples who went to the banquet in Cangnan Mountain, Ni Zhenchun and Fang Changsheng were all eliminated, and only Tao Ye climbed the five-story building alone, which naturally had some luck, but it was also a very ingenious thing.

Li Mengzhou's gaze did not stay on Tao Ye.

Although he had only seen one time in Taiqing Building, but just that side, Tao Ye's impression was very deep in Li Mengzhou's memory, there was no love and admiration, it was purely Tao Ye's behavior that was completely like a confession, which scared him, even if it was an irrelevant person, it was difficult to forget that picture in a short time.

The seats in the Imperial Sword Courtyard are in the front row, which is very conspicuous.

Li Mengzhou sat on the vacant seat on the left side of Jiang Zi's painting, and on his right side sat He Zhengrong, followed by Shen Jiyue and Zhou Luo, and then Chen Zidu of Tianhu Daofu, and on the right side of Jiang Zi's painting, there were Lu Changge and Nan Sheng's disciples of Pujiayuan.

Sitting in the first row directly opposite were Yang Zhao of the Star Picking Mansion and Lu Changge, Xie Ning and others who did not set the mountain.

In the next position, Bai Qi from Bailu Peak and Guan Muyun from the academy were all in the first row.

In front of everyone is a low square wooden table, where food and wine are presented.

Li Mengzhou didn't care about or keep watching, or the gaze that came from time to time, but very comfortably picked up the wine jug on the square wooden table, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it beautifully, and exhaled comfortably.
