After coming down from the top of the mountain that day, Liu Suifeng's cultivation was obviously much harder than usual, and he hadn't left Qingyun Peak for nearly half a month.

Liu Ruyue felt a little strange by this sudden change, and asked Xiao Chen what was going on, Xiao Chen wanted to come to Liu Suifeng, and he didn't want his sister to know about it, so he had to say that he didn't know.

Xiao Chen nodded helplessly, remembered one thing, took out a calendula from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Liu Suifeng, "This is for you, before the assessment, I should be able to help you with something." ”

The willow followed the wind and produced a golden marigold, and asked with some doubts: "What kind of flower is this? ”

The rich floral fragrance spread, which immediately attracted Liu Ruyue's attention, she saw the calendula in Liu Suifeng's hand, her face showed a surprised expression, and she came over and asked in surprise: "Calendula?Ye Chen, where did you get it, hey, this is not an ordinary calendula, it is close to the immortal-grade heavenly treasure." ”

Liu Ruyue paused here when she said this, the expression on her face changed from surprise to shock, she snatched the calendula from Liu Suifeng's hand, handed it to Xiao Chen, and said, "Ye Chen, this calendula is too precious, Suifeng can't ask for you." ”

"Calendula?" Liu Suifeng's expression changed, "Legend has it that can greatly increase people's understanding and be reborn!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand, took out a calendula again, and said: "This is what I obtained in the underground adventure, I have already taken one, it is useless to continue to take it, and there is one that is ready to be given to you when Sister Ruyue attacks the Martial King, so I will give it to you at this time." ”

Liu Ruyue has never been a delicate and pretentious person, after hearing the reason, she took it and said to Xiao Chen gratefully: "Our sister and brother, I owe you an adult." ”

Liu Suifeng's face also had a condensed expression, and his right hand clenched his fist and slapped it fiercely on Xiao Chen's body, "Brother, this favor, I will definitely remember it, with this calendula, there should be no accident for me to break through to Wuzun within the end of the year." ”

"In the past three days, maybe you will have some understanding, practice the mountain sword technique, practice to the realm of Dacheng, and successfully become a core disciple after the assessment. ”

Three days later, in the mountains behind Qingyun Peak.

Peak loop turn!.

In the woods, Xiao Chenren turned around in the same place, his body shot out quickly forward, the long knife in his hand cut an arc, and a strong air flow was born around him, spreading out towards the snow-white blade of the Moon Shadow Knife.

The momentum on his body kept condensing, and after a while, behind Xiao Chen, a small mountain peak was derived, and the momentum suddenly climbed to the extreme, as if it was standing on the top of the mountain.

No, the artistic conception of the peak loop is not like this, Xiao Chen suddenly shook his head in his heart and said, the peak loop refers to the time when things reach a dead end, and suddenly there is an unexpected ending.

But my current artistic conception is simply to the point of desperation, but the momentum is fierce and soaring, so how can there be room for reversal?

The doubts in his heart suddenly appeared, and the momentum that had been condensed was also vented out at once, and the small mountain peak behind him disappeared into nothingness in an instant.

Xiao Chen put away his sword and stood up, his face was slightly pale, this was the backlash he received after the failed performance of the move.

"Forget it, it seems that it's not time yet, it's just an assessment of a core disciple, with my strength, even if I don't comprehend it, the sixteenth move of the Lingyun Sword Technique is more than enough to pass. Xiao Chen said after conditioning the disordered vitality in his body.

The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Liu Ruyue and Liu Suifeng had already arrived in Xiao Chen's independent courtyard, and a blue bird quietly stopped beside them.

"Let's go, the assessment of the core disciples, I won't accompany you, I know the location with the wind, I wish you good luck." Liu Ruyue smiled faintly at Xiao Chen, who came out.

Xiao Chen nodded, jumped on the blue bird with the willow in the wind, the blue bird flapped its wings violently, with a huge air current, soaring into the sky, facing the newborn sun, flying towards the east.

The wind blew in his ears, Xiao Chen stood behind Liu Suifeng, and felt that the breath in his body was much longer than three days ago, so he said, "Congratulations, in three days, your strength should have improved a lot." ”

Liu Suifeng showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Well, thanks to you giving me calendula, I have already practiced the mountain opening sword technique to the realm of Xiaocheng in three days, and with this set of earth-level sword techniques, I am confident that I can be admitted to the core disciple this year." ”

"Is the assessment of core disciples difficult?How do I think the strength of those core disciples is not very good?" Xiao Chen asked while standing behind Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng's face sank, and he nodded and said, "It's very difficult, the number of five thousand inner disciples and core disciples in the entire Heavenly Sword Pavilion is less than five hundred. ”

"Your strength, there should be no problem in being admitted to the core disciples, as for why you can't meet a strong core disciple, because these are all outside the experience, and you won't return to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion at the end of the year. ”

Tiandao Pavilion, looking at the rooftop, on a school field.

On the stands of the school field, there are already dense inner disciples, all of whom are coming to see the lively, annual core disciple assessment.

In the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, it is second only to the year-end ranking battle, and most people will put down the things in their hands on this day, even if they don't come to participate in the assessment, they have to join in the fun.

On the high platform, there were more than a dozen elders sitting upright, all of whom were members of the Council of Elders in the main hall, and they were also the real rulers of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion now.

Next to it, the Seven Great Peaks Peak Lord sat quietly on the side, the expressions on his face were very calm, but no one knew what was going on in his heart.

The core disciple is a scarce resource in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, even the peak master of each peak cannot be directly appointed, if you want to become a core disciple, you must pass the assessment set by the general hall.

To see which peak has the strongest strength, there is a very intuitive judgment, which peak has the most core disciples, and the strength of this faction is also the strongest.

At present, among the seven peaks of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, the strongest strength naturally belongs to Tianyue Peak, and among the five hundred core disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Tianyue Peak accounts for half, reaching more than two hundred.

Then, except for Qingyun Peak, which exists in name only, and Jade Girl Peak, which is full of female disciples, the strength of the other five peaks is almost the same, and there is not much difference.

Song Que, who only had one arm left, had no color in his eyes, and he had been stripped of one arm, and he had completely ruined his ambition to compete for the position of pavilion master.

Suddenly, he rolled his eyes, looked at Leng Tianzheng, the peak master of Tianyue Peak, who had an extremely calm face, and said with a smile: "This time the assessment of the core disciples, I'm afraid Senior Brother Leng is going to come out on top again, I don't know how many disciples from Tianyue Peak will come to participate in the assessment this time." ”

Leng Tianzheng looked at Song Que, sneered in his heart, a light smile appeared on his face, and said lightly: "There are about a hundred, I can't remember clearly." ”

When the other peak masters heard this, their faces changed slightly, and there are only fifty places in the annual core disciple assessment, and unless there are special exceptions with outstanding talents, they will not generally increase.

The inner disciples who want to participate in the assessment must reach the realm of a top-grade great martial artist before the age of nineteen, and the other peaks can only meet the requirements of only about twenty disciples at most.

Compared with the number of Tianyue Peak, it is really not worth mentioning, this has to compete, it must be competitive, if you want to come to the number of core disciples this time, Tianyue Peak will take at least half of the share.

The core disciples received more than twice as much as the ordinary inner disciples, and their cultivation speed was much faster.

If the quota is taken away by Tianyue Peak, then for a long time in the future, under the strength of one or the other, the strength of the peak they are in will not even want to surpass Tianyue Peak, they can only be suppressed to death.

Thinking of this, the peak masters of the other peaks glanced at each other, and they all saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

A cold gaze flashed in Song Que's eyes, and he glanced at Liu Ruyue casually, and said, "But Senior Brother Leng's Tianyue Peak, I'm afraid no one can get the first place." ”

Wan Feng, the peak master of Wan Qian Peak next to him, asked with some puzzlement, "Why, the first place in the past few years seems to be in Tianyue Peak." ”

Song Queshuang looked at Liu Ruyue coldly and said with a smile, "There are some things, it seems that Senior Brother Wan is still not clear, the core disciple under your peak, Yang Qi has been defeated by the newly accepted apprentice of the Lord of Liu Feng in the Hall of Merit, and it only took less than a hundred moves." ”

"And that quick knife Lin Feng, even more funny, was defeated directly with one punch. ”

Wan Feng had a puzzled expression in his eyes, he had been in retreat all year round, if it wasn't for the assessment of the core disciples this time, the stakes would not have come out, and he didn't know anything about the affairs in the mountains.

Wan Feng tilted his head slightly, facing an elder of Wan Qian Peak behind him, and asked, "Elder Su, is there such a thing?"

Elder Su's face was a little ugly, but he still told Wan Feng everything he knew.

After listening, Wan Feng's expression was gloomy, and he looked at Liu Ruyue and said, "I haven't come out for a while, but I didn't expect that Qingyun Peak is also a successor." ”

Liu Ruyue's face was expressionless, knowing that this was Song Que sowing discord, she glanced at Song Que coldly, and said lightly: "There is only one hand left, and my mind is still so poisonous, so I flashed my tongue carefully." ”

Song Que was just about to speak, but Leng Tianzheng glanced at him in disgust, "Senior Brother Song, it's best to care about your own affairs, other people's affairs, and say a few words." ”

At this time, the Jade Maiden Peak Peak, who had not spoken, said: "Senior Brother Song, in fact, you don't need to be too decisive, Yang Qi's strength is not top-notch among the core disciples, and being a disciple of an inner sect is nothing, such a thing will be staged in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion every year." ”

"And the punch that defeated Lin Feng, the process of it, is also debatable, there is no need to be too surprised, the most important thing is that I heard that a new disciple has recently emerged from Tianyue Peak, and he has practiced the Lingyun Sword Technique, which has not been practiced to Dacheng for a hundred years, to the realm of Dacheng. ”

Unexpectedly, the Lingyun Sword Technique was practiced to the realm of Dacheng, and when the others heard this, their faces showed shocked expressions, this is equivalent to the top sword technique of the ground level, and if they can practice to Dacheng, I am afraid that no one in the same level is an opponent.
