Chapter 16: The Ladder of Death
In the Cangyun Palace.
For two whole days, Shen Zong barely closed his eyes.
First, he was studying the rules of the ladder, and second, he was watching the situation of the ladder from afar, preparing for the competition of the ladder of death.
Qin Wanyue looked at Shen Zong and sighed for a long time.
"Alas......"
After such two days, her father Qin Baixiao didn't know where he went, as if he had evaporated from the world, and her sister was still practicing outside the city and couldn't come back.
At the critical moment, there was no one around her who could rely on help, and it was pointless to stay at home, so she had to follow Shen Zong and step on some preparations near this ladder.
"Shen Zong......"
She spoke suddenly, her smile stiffening.
"Shen Zong, did you hear that?"
Shen Zong groaned, holding a branch and deducing something on the ground.
"Wait a minute. ”
"You ......" Qin Wanyue's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Where is the reason to make the master wait for the medicine slave?
A moment passed.
When he finished filling in a map-like painting, he stopped and looked at it for a moment, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and raised his head: "Okay, Miss Wanyue, what do you say, what is the matter?" If you persuade me to quit the Ladder Conference, then you will be exempted, for the same reason, I don't want to hear you say it five times......
"No, I've given up on persuading you to quit, even if you don't want to die, it's your own choice. ”
She glanced deeply at Shen Zong and spoke slowly.
"What I want to ask is...... What are you going to do at the ladder conference, no matter what, you have to have a plan. Or, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Shen Zong smiled slightly and looked at her: "Golden Marrow Pill." ”
"Golden Pulp Pill?"
Qin Wanyue was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
There is no doubt that the Golden Marrow Pill is the most suitable pill for cultivation breakthrough at the stage of Qi refining.
But the problem is, the Death Ladder Conference will begin tomorrow.
I'm just taking the pill now, is it too late?
"That's it, cramming guy. ”
She hesitated for a moment, and replied with a reluctant smile: "It's good to improve your strength a little, and there are multiple chances to save your life." Then you come home with me now, and I'll find it from the pharmacy and give you one. ”
"Miss Wanyue, I don't want one, but three Golden Marrow Pills. ”
"You want three, so many!" Qin Wanyue was stunned on the spot when she heard this.
Shen Zong smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, I will give you the gold coins of the Golden Pulp Pill at the market price." Last time, Zhao Wendong also lost me 500 gold coins. ”
"It's not about the gold coins. ”
Qin Wanyue's heart was shocked, her tone was slightly angry, and she almost blurted out: "I mean, if you take too many pills in one day, you are not afraid that your aura will rise too much and you will explode and die?"
"Is this...... I know it. ”
Shen Zong smiled slightly, and his expression turned solemn.
"As for the time to take it, it's not today, it's tomorrow...... Above the Ladder!"
......
Early the next morning, the Purple Daowu Mansion, the Cangyun Palace.
Countless students, lined up in long queues, poured into it together.
Death Ladder!
For students in the Qi refining period, there is no doubt that it is a grand event once a year! It is not only a time for senior disciples to show their strength, but also an opportunity for newcomers to make a name for themselves.
Stepping into the gate, looking from afar, you can see the four immortal masters sitting on the platform, their eyes are majestic, scanning everyone, faintly giving people a sense of oppression.
"Shen Zong......"
On Sendai, a middle-aged man opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
He spread out a picture scroll in his arms and compared them one by one to the students who looked up at him in the audience.
After a while.
He used his soul mind to search around, but he still couldn't find it, his eyebrows wrinkled, and the picture scroll closed, making a "rubbing" sound.
His face was clouded and gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "This guy, didn't he come, or did he hide in the crowd?"
"What's the matter? Brother Xiao, looking at the way you are looking for someone, could it be that at this ladder conference, did you take on some unsightly work?"
I saw that the person who spoke, wearing a dark gray shirt, a dragon-patterned gold belt tied around his waist, and a pair of lazy eyes, calm and unhurried, with a faint light in his eyes.
"Look at what you said, what are these words, I'm just giving the family a few enemies and garbage, and by the way, I'm just getting some money. The surname Lin is still the same, you just look at it coldly, it has nothing to do with you!"
In his tone, he was aggressive, and he didn't intend to give anyone a good look.
"Good, good. ”
Lin Yan sneered, and his face changed: "In normal times, I won't ask, Xiao Chen, I just want to ask you, was it arranged by the Zhao family?"
"What?"
Xiao Chen's heart sank, and he turned his head and looked at him deeply.
"Do you mean...... The Zhao family, have you also been arranged?"
......
"Hey, have you heard, at this meeting of the Death Ladder, there is a rookie who refines qi twice, and it seems to be the medicine slave of the Qin family. A little old man, leaning over, said with a smile.
This little old man seems to have a bit of prestige, and a lot of people have gathered around him, gathered together, and there is a miasma.
"Qi refining double?"
A group of young talents who participated in the ladder conference, when they heard this, glanced at each other, and laughed out loud with a "poof".
"Lao Chen, knowing that you have a lot of information, you can't brag nonsense. No kidding, can you die?"
"That's it, refining qi twice, come to the ladder of death, that medicine slave, is really here to seek death!"
Xiao Lao'er smiled: "Actually, I don't plan to believe this, everyone has heard it, don't take it seriously." ”
"No, it's true. ”
A crisp sound like a silver bell echoed in everyone's ears.
"What?"
Looking back, a woman in a green shirt seemed to have just bathed, her long hair was tied up with a piece of juanpa, and her big eyes were lightly covered with gray eyeshadow, and her snow skin was suffocating.
"Who are you......"
Xiao Lao'er glanced her up and down, with a puzzled look on his face: "It seems to be ...... In this Purple Dao Martial Mansion, I haven't seen you. ”
Such a beautiful woman, if it is also in the Qi refining period, it stands to reason that with his intelligence network, she should know about it.
"I haven't even seen it, and you dare to say that you have a lot of information?"
The woman in the green shirt chuckled and turned her head away, her gaze cold to the extreme.
"Second Brother Rong, you help me slap him three times! Let him remember to be more impressive, and have a long memory. ”
"Hahahaha, Sister Yan Yu, then you still need to say, I can't find Shen Zong, I'm trying to find a few unlucky guys to loosen my muscles. ”
The young man behind her smirked and stepped up, his face unkind.
However, before he could actually do it.
In the Cangyun Palace, a sixty-year-old man slowly walked out, with a solemn expression and no anger and self-authority.
"The ladder is about to open, everyone will come to me and be tested!"
