7. Introductory Chapter: Apprenticeship
After the demon beast escaped, the fairy boat finally stabilized, but unexpectedly, the seasick rich boy was unexpectedly very calm, he sat up and said, "Why is there a demon beast here?" β
However, although he was very calm, his pale face could still show that his body was very unwell.
A disciple replied: "Although our head has killed the Demon Emperor and defeated the Demon Clan, the number of demons is still very large, and they will come out to make trouble from time to time, but don't worry, most of them are just some small demons who are not in the climate. β
"Why do we never see a demon in the place where we live, but instead there are monsters near the cultivation realm?" The rich boy has a pretty bright brain.
"Because of our immortal cultivation realm as a barrier, you mortals can live a carefree life, if it weren't for our obstruction, where would you have such a peaceful life?" The disciple said, feeling a little proud.
At this time, Zhao Ya finally calmed down, she looked at Wu Yan and said with concern: "Brother, are you okay?" β
If it weren't for the flash of anger that Wu Yan saw in Zhao Ya's eyes, she would have thought that Zhao Ya really cared about her.
I have to say that Zhao Ya is really not simple, so she can hold back and not get angry, and she can continue to pretend.
"I'm fine, sister." Wu Yan returned ignorantly.
One of them pretends to be sensible, the other pretends to be naΓ―ve, and it really looks like a brother and sister, but in fact, they have their own ghosts.
Soon, Liulitian finally arrived.
The three of them were placed at the foot of the mountain, and at this time, in addition to them, there were nearly a dozen children at the foot of the mountain, all of whom were left here.
"Okay, everybody listen to me." At this time, a female disciple with a beautiful face came out, and she said loudly: "Although you are now considered a disciple of Liulitian, but you don't have your own master, there will be two small tests next, perform well, which will determine your future path, by the way, the first disciple can freely choose an elder as your master." β
The female disciple pointed to the stairs behind her and said: "This first test is the stairs in front of you, there is a maze at the end of the stairs, the first time you go out, the better the results, okay, don't talk nonsense, start now!" β
As her words fell, everyone walked up the stairs one after another.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Ya turned her head to Wu Yan and said, "Don't follow me." β
After speaking, he walked a few steps briskly and distanced himself from Wu Yan.
Wu Yan shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk forward indifferently, in fact, even if Zhao Ya didn't say it, Wu Yan couldn't follow her, because she had to get this first place!
The previous disciple said that as long as she got the first place, she would be able to choose a master by herself, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, and she must not miss it, otherwise, with her pseudo-spiritual root qualifications, it would be even more difficult to get close to Wen Weinian.
After stepping onto the stairs, Wu Yan quickly understood the mystery.
This staircase seems ordinary, but in fact, as long as you walk on it, you will be sucked away with weak spiritual power with every step.
Although they haven't started cultivating yet, people with spiritual roots already have spiritual power in their bodies, and the difference is only how much.
Under normal circumstances, it is natural that people with better spiritual roots have an advantage in climbing this ladder, but how can this small ladder stump Wu Yan, who is a demon emperor?
Controlling spiritual power was as simple as breathing for her.
Soon, she was ahead of everyone else.
This road seems to have no end, but in fact, it didn't take much time for Wu Yan to complete the whole journey and come to the labyrinth that the female disciple said.
After all, it's just a test for their group of children, so this maze is not complicated, and there is no danger, and it is very easy to get through.
If the ladder tests perseverance and talent, then the labyrinth tests intelligence and courage.
The difficulty of this labyrinth is not in its complexity, but in its horror, and of course, this is for children.
There are a lot of demons and monsters placed in the labyrinth, but they are all some who have no strength and can't hurt people, at most they just scare and scare people passing by.
For children who have never seen these demons and monsters, I'm afraid it's a little choking, but Wu Yan doesn't take these things into her eyes at all, even now, if she wants to destroy these little demons, it's just a matter of moving her fingers.
She walks through the labyrinth, unaffected by these things, and even occasionally asks for directions from the ghosts she encounters.
At this time, in the hall of Liulitian, the atmosphere was a little weird.
I saw that in the center of the hall, there was a water mirror, and the picture that appeared in the water mirror was Wu Yan, who was calmly stopping a bloody ghost to ask for directions.
I don't know who broke the silence first.
"Ahem, according to this trend, this kid is likely to be the first place in this year, but he is just a pseudo-spiritual root, what should we do now?"
Ban Hongxue glanced at Wu Yan in the water mirror, and only felt that his newborn calf was really cute if he was not afraid of tigers, and he knew that most of the people here didn't want to take this child as an apprentice, so he said: "After all, it is a rule set for thousands of years, I'm afraid it's not easy to break, right?" β
There was silence.
The one who should have come still came, Wu Yan really won the first place and walked into the hall first.
Ban Hongxue looked at Wu Yan, who came out of the maze with a calm face, and was curious, I don't know if this child is really naΓ―ve, or unusually calm.
In the past, everyone fought for the first place, but today, the old gods were sitting on the sidelines with their eyes closed, and they didn't mean to speak.
Some people even quietly moved their positions, looking like they were afraid of being favored by Wu Yan.
Seeing this, Ban Hongxue had no choice but to take a step forward, look at Wu Yan, and asked gently, "Little friend, what's your name?" β
"Zhao Mu." Wu Yan replied expressionlessly, she was not in a good mood now, because she did not find the person she was looking for in the crowd.
The atmosphere was a little weird, the one sitting on the top didn't want to speak, and the one standing below didn't seem to want to apprentice, and the hall fell into silence again.
Ban Hongxue only thought that Wu Yan was still young and didn't understand what the first place meant, so she smiled and said: "This time you won the first place, you can designate anyone present to be your master, have you thought about who to choose?" β
said so, but Ban Hongxue's star-like eyes looked straight at Wu Yan, and she almost opened her mouth to say, 'Choose me, choose me'.
Wu Yan directly ignored Ban Hongxue's expectant eyes, and said categorically: "No need, I can't look down on anyone here." β
