After listening to Mu Qianmei's words, Qiu Li sighed softly, and said helplessly:

"Yes, people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, even if they are as powerful as my Sword Sect, they must follow the rules of the rivers and lakes in order to survive, Venerable Changfeng has repeatedly warned my disciples of the Sword Sect that they must not be too publicistic when walking in the rivers and lakes, and they must act in a low-key manner."

While they were talking, someone outside came to report that Gu Chengfeng and Fang Yunxuan's master and apprentice from Shattered Sky Mountain had visited.

Qiu Li immediately stood up and went out to greet them, and brought them to the wine table, Mu Qianmei and the others also stood up and exchanged a few words of greeting, and then everyone sat down together at Qiu Li's invitation.

Gu Chengfeng was older than Qiu Li, he looked like he was about seventy years old, he was the hall master of the Yuguo Branch in the Broken Sky Mountain, and Fang Yunxuan was his proud disciple, and he saw Mu Qianmei and others coming to the Sword Sect as guests on the street today, so he came to visit.

After the two sat down, someone immediately added dishes and chopsticks to them, and poured wine, Qiu Li picked up the wine glass and said:

"Hall Master Gu, Master Yun's nephew, you came a little late, the banquet is already halfway over, it's rude, come, I toast you to apologize."

Gu Chengfeng and Fang Yunxuan took a sip with him, and Gu Chengfeng said with a smile:

"It's us who want to say I'm sorry, it's presumptuous, it's uninvited, I hope you'll forgive me."

The two were polite again, and after finishing speaking, Gu Chengfeng said to Mu Qianmei:

"The apprentice has been talking about the story of Miss Mu in the Qingshan Inn for the past two days, and he is full of reverence for Miss Mu. Walking on the street today, there is talk about the songs written by Miss Mu everywhere, such songs are new and unique, and they are different from what I have heard before, which is really amazing! ”

Mu Qianmei immediately said modestly:

"Master Gu praised it falsely, this song was not created by Qianmei, but just sang someone else's tune, at that time, drinking was just a whim, casually, I didn't want so many people to like it, it was really unexpected. Fang Shaoxia is the dragon and phoenix among the people, Qianmei has just entered the rivers and lakes, how can he afford the word reverence, isn't this a little woman? ”

Fang Yunxuan said excitedly:

"On this trip, the luckiest thing is to meet Miss Mu, although Yun Xuan may be a few years older than Miss Mu, but no essay cultivation, or knowledge of the rivers and lakes, is far inferior to Miss Mu, the so-called master is a teacher, Yun Xuan is indeed very admired."

Mu Qianmei smiled bitterly and said:

"Don't praise me again, no matter how much I praise myself, I can't find the east, west, north and south. By the way, how did you come back so quickly? Remember, you left just a little before us, but you arrived more than a day before us. ”

Fang Yunxuan said with a little regret:

"I knew you would come here, I wouldn't have left so early, waiting for you all the way, we are riding horses, so it is natural to come back faster."

Mu Qianmei replied with a smile:

"We are also a temporary decision to come here, Senior Brother Yue said that Yulan City is the most prosperous city in the Xiyu Country, even more prosperous than the capital Yong'an City, and many gangs in the rivers and lakes have branches here, so he decided to come and have a look."

Fang Yunxuan suddenly said:

"Oh, I see, I grew up here, and I happen to be very familiar with Magnolia City, otherwise, let me take you around these days!"

Mu Qianmei immediately said:

"How embarrassing is this, let's come over, it's just an aimless stroll, how can we delay Brother Fang's time?"

Fang Yunxuan insisted:

"I don't have anything to be busy with recently, if Miss Mu really treats Fang as a friend, don't refuse my wishes, for me, it is really Fang's honor to accompany a few people to visit Yulan City, I can follow Miss Mu for a long time to see and learn!"

Mu Qianmei smiled lightly:

"Qianmei has just entered the rivers and lakes, what can Brother Fang learn? However, since Brother Fang said so, then Brother Lao Fang will be our guide. ”

Fang Yunxuan said with a smile:

"That's my honor, by the way, since I came to Magnolia City, the most famous orchid here, although there are not many orchids that bloom in winter, but there are still some, otherwise, tomorrow we will go to the Orchid Valley to enjoy the orchids!"

Mu Qianmei replied casually:

"Well, you are the master, you can arrange it."

At this time, Qiu Li said:

"Miss Mu, if there is nothing urgent, stay in Yulan City for a while, every spring Yulan City will hold a grand flower viewing party, there is a competition at the flower viewing party, it is called the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, the top twelve, not only can you get rich rewards, but you can also participate in the triennial competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List in the future, this is the highest honor for the young talents of the Outer Heaven!"

Mu Qianmei asked curiously:

"Oh? There are also such competitions! ”

As she spoke, she looked at Yue Qingyuan's senior brother and sister, then at Fang Yunxuan, and asked in a low voice:

"Senior Brother Yue, Brother Fang, have you all participated?"

Yue Qingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head and replied:

"We are in the headquarters of the Sword Sect, so naturally we can't come here to participate in this competition, however, our Sword Sect also has a ranking list, called the Qingyun List, but unfortunately, the qualifications of several of us are not high, so the primary selection was brushed down, and we are considered to be unknown on the list."

Fang Yunxuan also replied embarrassedly:

"I ...... I can't be on this list, and those who can be on the list are all amazing geniuses. ”

Bai Lingshan immediately said with a smile:

"We can't be on the list, but I think that if Qianmei participates in the competition, she will definitely be on the list, whether it is to participate in the competition of Hollow Valley Youlan, or to participate in the Qingyun list of my Sword Sect, with Qianmei's intelligence, she will definitely be able to enter the top twelve, which competition does Qianmei want to participate in?"

Mu Qianmei replied strangely:

"Can I participate in the competition? And you can choose freely! ”

Xiao Ziqi nodded and said:

"As long as you want, you can naturally, the Qingyun List is mainly for Sword Sect disciples, if you want to participate in this, it is best to enter my Sword Sect's Changfeng Academy, as for the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, there is no such restriction, as long as you can sign up, you can participate."

"However, although it is easy to get started, there are very few people who can persevere, and many people fall on the big waves of the first level."

Mu Qianmei then asked:

"Are there any requirements for the contestants?"

At this time, Qiu Li replied:

"There are three requirements for the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, the first one requires that the person participating in the competition must be under the age of seventeen; The second is that there must be a recommendation from a gang or college; The third is that the cultivation must reach the integration period or above. ”

Mu Qianmei smiled and said:

"With these three rules as a threshold, not many people can participate, right?"

Fang Yunxuan shook his head and replied:

"That's a lot, and there are a lot of teenagers who come from all over the world every year to participate, and tens of thousands of people participate every year."

Mu Qianmei said in surprise:

"With such conditions, there are still tens of thousands of people participating? Are there so many people under the age of 17 who have reached the integration stage? ”

Qiu Li replied:

"Yes, just the Qingyun Sect and a gang, there are thousands of people who can meet such conditions, plus the young geniuses of various academies and other gangs, the large and small gangs in the entire Xiyu Country do not know how many, if you just look at these two conditions, there must be hundreds of thousands of people who can reach them."

"However, each gang will conduct a screening before recommending it, and most of the people will be eliminated, so in the end, there are only about 10,000 people who are recommended."

Mu Qianmei said clearly:

"I see, in this case, I don't have much chance of passing the primary!"

Then he asked curiously:

"And what's the competition?"

Fang Yunxuan replied:

"The competition is divided into literary competition and martial arts competition, literary comparison is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, etc., and martial arts comparison is cultivation, martial arts, and mood. Miss Mu rescued Ning Yusong from flying stones in the Qingshan Inn, her cultivation is natural enough, and she can write lyrics such as Xiaoao Jianghu and the rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, she is a woman who is both civil and military, and there must be no problem in passing the first test, in my opinion, it is very promising to enter the top twelve! ”

Mu Qianmei continued to ask:

"Since only the top twelve can participate in the triennial Outer Heaven Lingyun List competition, how do other countries choose people to participate?"

Qiu Li replied slowly:

"They are all chosen in a similar way, the West Rain Empire's is the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, the Longxiao Empire's is the Shenlong Billboard, the Southern Star Empire's is the Star-Moon Billboard, the Heavenly Thunder Empire's is the Skythunder Billboard, the Northern Moon Empire's is the Snow Treading Plum List, and our Sword Sect's is the Qingyun List, the six lists are all once a year, and there are thirty-six players who go to participate in the competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List in three years."

"In this way, every time they participate in the competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List, there are two hundred and sixteen people, and in the end, the top twelve will be rewarded, of course, the other people will also have a good future, it can be said that the people who can participate in the Outer Heaven Lingyun List competition are originally geniuses who are one in a million."

Mu Qianmei asked:

"When was the last time the Outer Heaven Lingyun List competition was held?"

Qiu Li replied with a smile:

"It was just held the year before last, so if Miss Mu participates in this year's Hollow Valley Youlan Billboard competition and can win, she will be able to participate in the competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List in two years."

Mu Qianmei thought for a while and asked again:

"The last time I participated in the competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List, what kind of cultivation did the top twelve people end up in?"

Qiu Li pondered for a moment before replying:

"It's all the cultivation of the Jindan period, and the first place seems to have been promoted to the Yuan Infant stage after the competition."

Mu Qianmei calculated and asked suspiciously:

"Wouldn't the age of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List competition be relaxed that day?"

Qiu Li nodded and said:

"Yes, the age of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List is under the age of twenty."

Mu Qianmei couldn't help but be surprised:

"The twenty-year-old Jindan period, or even the Yuan infant stage, is really unimaginable!"

Fang Yunxuan looked at Mu Qianmei and asked curiously:

"Is Miss Mu going to participate?"
