Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Yunzhou Selection Begins
87_87380 Luo Xiu returned home, originally planning to refine the essence of earth fire as soon as possible.
But whenever he had this idea and was ready to act, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Why do I have a feeling of panic? There is no doubt that this cold iron box is indeed the essence of earth and fire, and I have also prepared in advance, and I specially purchased a hundred-year-old Xuanbing essence at the auction, and to subdue the earth-fire essence, I must first consume its firepower, it stands to reason that the hundred-year-old Xuanbing has been able to consume the firepower of the earth-fire essence!"
But no matter how reasonable Luo Xiu's speculation was, this faint feeling of uneasiness never lingered.
Thinking about Luo Xiong and Luo Hu's strong desire to die by themselves, Luo Xiu felt that there must be something wrong with this, and after hesitating for a long time, he temporarily suppressed the idea of refining the essence of earth fire, and placed the cold iron box in the Sumeru ring.
"The lava essence pendant also belongs to fire, since I know that Luo Xiong and Luo Hu have bad intentions, I have to be more vigilant, this subduing the essence of earth fire will stop for the time being, and after I go to Yunzhou, I will check the relevant information before making a decision." ”
"Since I won't refine it for the time being, then let's continue to condense the tendons, I have two hundred and twenty tendons now, and the medicine is enough right now, and by tomorrow morning, I should be able to refine it to about two hundred and forty. ”
Since Luo Xiu had decided, he didn't think about the matter of the Earth Fire Spirit for the time being, and concentrated on condensing his tendons.
Knowing that the next morning, Luo Xiu had completed the refining of the twenty-three vital meridians, and the condensation had reached two hundred and forty-three.
"These vital tendons are mainly defensive, and the improvement of strength is not large, and my current fist strength is still about 2,900 catties, and it has not yet reached the 3,000 catties mark, which also adds the role of hidden tendons. ”
"Now there is a gap of less than eighty from three hundred and twenty, and when the time comes, I will refine the second hidden tendon, the first one is the hidden tendon of qi, I don't know what the second hidden tendon is?"
Luo Xiu sat indoors for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, before he got up and left.
Walking out of his small courtyard, Luo Xiu felt a little reluctant in his heart.
He has lived here alone for several years, this is his home, every plant and tree is very familiar, and now that he is gone, even if he will come back in the future, it is impossible to continue to live here.
After staying for a while, Luo Xiu collected his feelings and chose to practice martial arts, he had to give up a lot of things, he was not a sentimental person.
Came to the central square of Luojia, and several other people who went to Yunzhou had already arrived.
Not only them, but all the elders of the Luo family have arrived, participating in the Yunzhou selection competition and entering the Sword Gate, this is the grand event of the Luo family, and as an elder, you must be present.
Luo Xiu's afterglow paid attention to Luo Xiong and Luo Hu, and when these two saw Luo Xiu, they were slightly stunned, and there seemed to be some disappointment in their eyes.
With keen intuition, Luo Xiu felt their gaze sweep over his chest, where the lava pendant hung from it.
"There is really something wrong with this pendant!" Luo Xiu's face was impassive, but in his heart he had already determined that Luo Xiong and the others definitely had a conspiracy against him, and this lava pendant was the key.
Although Luo Xiu couldn't figure out what the crux of the problem was, he wouldn't force himself to come up with a result, this kind of thing couldn't be forced, he could see it very clearly.
Luo Xiong and Luo Hu are just martial artists in the late stage of Tongmai, and the conspiracy they can come up with, as long as they are patient, there will definitely be a time to crack it.
Luo Lie walked up to the five people at this time and said some encouraging words.
The ears of several people who listened to these words were about to come out of the cocoon, and when they went to Yunzhou, they were going to have a selection with the disciples of the four great families, the disciples of the martial arts halls of various sects, and even the disciples of the official families, and the method of selection would be decided by the Yunzhou official.
According to the grapevine, the number of candidates for the election this time has reached five hundred, and there are five places for families like the Luo family, but those big sects have more than a dozen or even dozens of places, such as the people selected by the Yunzhou government, there are hundreds.
Among these 500 people, there were only 30 people who were able to go to Yanjing to participate in the entrance examination of the Sword Gate.
The elimination rate is more than 9 out of 10, which shows the cruelty of competition.
However, for most people, being able to go to Yunzhou is already a success, even if they fail to go to Yanjing in the end, being able to stay in Yunzhou can be regarded as a bigger stage from now on, and it is no problem to serve the imperial court in the future.
The Luo family led the team by an elder Luo Minghua, a die-hard supporter of Luo Lie.
Luo Lie, the five people selected this time, was very satisfied, at least Luo Xiong and Luo Hu's three sons were not selected, and the elders sent were naturally from his side.
Elder Luo Minghua took Luo Xingye, Luo Xiu, Luo Zhihuan, Luo Lingling, and Jin Wenyu to board the teleportation array together and came to Luojia Station.
Here is the carriage that Luo Lie has prepared a long time ago, and four unicorns from the wasteland are driving, this is the biggest pomp that the Luo family can make, after all, as one of the four major families, the Luo family still wants to save face.
The carriage had three rows of seats, Jin Wenyu and Luo Zhihuan consciously sat in the last row, Luo Xingye and Luo Lingling sat in the middle row, and Luo Xiu followed Luo Minghua to the first row.
The carriage went all the way until it came to the post house that had been prepared long ago outside the Yunzhou City Guard's Mansion.
All the contestants have to gather at this post house, and then wait for the unified scheduling arrangement of the city guard.
After arriving at the post house, everyone got off the bus, and there were already about two or three hundred people gathered here, from various places in Yunzhou.
They came a little early, and the reception staff of the City Guard Mansion had not yet come out, so Luo Minghua looked around and found the area where the families were.
The major forces in Yunzhou also have their own circles, the martial arts hall has the circle of the martial arts hall, the sect has the circle of the sect, the official has the official circle, and the family like the Luo family belongs to the family circle.
The four major families in Yunzhou are Zhou, Zheng, Hua, and Luo, and there are some other small families.
There are five people from each of the four major families, and only one person from each family can only be produced if they have not entered the four major families, and some have made special contributions to Yunzhou, or those who have had disciples who have been selected for the Sword Gate before, are exceptions to select two people to participate.
The elders of those families gathered together to chat, and the disciples were discussing with each other on the side, and those who knew each other were greeting, and when they saw the arrival of the Luo family, people's eyes gathered.
An elder of the Wang family looked at Luo Minghua's arrival and sneered: "Isn't this someone from the Luo family coming?" I heard that Elder Han Qing of your family has traveled, I really don't know how long your Luo family can keep the name of these four great families, if none of them enter the top thirty in this selection competition, your Luo family will be removed from the four great families." ”
According to the rules, every time the Sword Sect selects a disciple, if no one can pass the selection of Guò Yunzhou, then he will not continue to enjoy the title of the Four Great Families.
Even a person who can be selected through guò can't be cultivated, and such a family has no future.
This Wang family has two masters of the Ren Governor realm, and they have always been unconvinced by the Luo family, thinking that they should be one of the four major families in Yunzhou, and the Luo family is promoted by virtue of a five-grade alchemist, and they are not worthy of the title of the four major families at all.
However, this time Luo Minghua has a lot of confidence, because the Luo family has a Luo Xingye, and the qualifications of the next six grades are almost certain to be able to pass the guò selection competition.
He raised his head and walked over: "Hehe, anyone can say anything, but no one in some families has been able to pass the selection of Guò Yunzhou over the years, and there is a face here to speak out without shame, which really opens the eyes of the old man." ”
The face of the elder of the Wang family changed: "Luo Minghua, this year is different from previous years, you can be arrogant now, but when the selection competition starts, someone from my Wang family will definitely be able to pass the selection, and then you will know what a young genius is." ”
After speaking, the elder of the Wang family pointed to the young man behind him: "This is my disciple of the Wang family, the leader of the younger generation, Wang Shi! ”
Luo Xingye, Luo Xiu and the others looked at that Wang Shi, this is a dark-skinned young man, his appearance is unremarkable, burly, tall, expressionless, the whole person is standing there, it is really a person as his name suggests, there is a feeling like a stone.
Wang Shi came to Luo Xingye and the other five people, and said coldly: "In Xia Wang Shi, I heard that this selection competition is for everyone to enter an ancient battlefield, and judge their talents by points, not only to kill the sergeants of the ancient battlefield in the battlefield, but also to fight with each other, seeing that we are all from a family, I advise you in advance, if you see me on the battlefield, please detour!"
Luo Xingye's faces changed, this Wang Shi was too arrogant!
This person is only in the early stage of dirty practice, and his realm is lower than Luo Xingye, that is, Luo Zhihuan is equivalent to Jin Wenyu, why is he talking big here?
Luo Lingling's face suddenly sank: "You can tell yourself this a few times, so as not to be eliminated by our Luo family, and blame Miss Ben for not reminding you." ”
Wang Shi pouted disdainfully: "I know very well the selection situation of your Luo family, you Luo Lingling is just a little maid secretly cultivated by Luo Lie to escort Luo Xingye, and she is also worthy of calling herself Miss!"
Luo Lingling's pretty face immediately became ugly, she did have the taste of escorting Luo Xingye, but that was because some people Luo Xingye was inconvenient to make a move, and the two were also good friends, and there was no maid at all.
She was about to get angry, but Luo Xingye grabbed Luo Lingling's hand: "Wang Shi, I remember what you said today, let's see you on the battlefield." ”
After all, this is the official meeting place, and you can't spread anger here.
Wang Shi hugged his hands and left proudly.
Luo Xiu didn't care too much about the dispute between these people, what he was concerned about now was what Wang Shi said about the ancient battlefield just now
