Chapter 30 The reward for the first place
Xing Yu used the power of the flames in his body to detonate the flame true thunder, and after defeating the prince, he was also extremely tired at this time, but because this time it was the fire man who controlled the flame power, so Xing Yu did not lose his strength and fell into a coma like last time.
After the Flame True Thunder was blessed by the power of flames, its power increased a lot, and because of the protection of that flame power, the Flame True Thunder that exploded in Xing Yu's hand did not hurt Xing Yu, and all the power went towards the prince seal.
"Hoo ......"
Xing Yu stood in the ring, gasping violently, he was also injured a lot in this battle, and now there is still a faint pain in his body.
Seeing this, Xu Tian immediately came to the stage to catch Xingyu and helped him out of the ring.
"You guy did a really good job, even I thought you would definitely lose, now it's okay, five hundred low-level spirit stones, according to the previous agreement, I will share half of you." ”
Xu Tian said happily, but Xing Yu didn't pay any attention, he took out a jade bottle from his arms at this time, which was the one that Ning Pingyue handed him before.
There was still some pill left in it, Xing Yu poured out one and took it, and immediately closed his eyes and breathed.
After some discussion, several elders in the stands finalized the list of people who had outstanding performance in this trial meeting and could enter Feiyun Valley, and then Qiu Feng announced the list on the spot.
The audience present all looked at Qiu Feng with blank eyes, waiting for the final result.
Qiu Feng didn't make a fuss, he cleared his throat and started reading the list directly.
"The warriors who are qualified to enter Feiyun Valley are: Xing Yu, Wang Zifeng, Ning Pingyue, Xu Tian, Guo Cun, Zhao Yang, Liu Liang, ......"
No more, no less, exactly sixteen people, and then Qiu Feng announced that the disciples who entered the top eight would become disciples in the inner valley, and the last eight disciples would cultivate in the outer valley.
"Here are the candidates who have been selected as core disciples. ”
The square fell silent for a moment, and everyone's ears were wide open, for fear that they would not hear the names of the people who were about to be announced.
"Xing Yu, Prince Feng, Ning Pingyue. ”
As soon as the list came out, there was a lot of noise in the square, but this list was not too unexpected.
Wang Zifeng was originally the favorite to win the championship, and his realm was also the highest among the people who participated in the trial, Ning Pingyue entered the top four, and he also had the opportunity to become a core disciple, not to mention Xingyu, if he couldn't even become a core disciple, I am afraid that no one would be able to be a core disciple.
But the only one who is a little unhappy is Xu Tian, she is also one of the top four, but there is no her among the core disciples, which makes her inevitably a little disappointed.
At this time, a Feiyun Valley disciple walked up to Xing Yu and Xu Tian.
"Please move to the palace, the two of you have already arranged a place for you, and there will be an elder coming later to let you choose the valley you want to join. ”
Xing Yu opened his eyes from the closed eyes and pranayama, thanked the disciple, and then walked towards the palace with Xu Tian under the guidance of the disciple.
Before entering the palace, Xing Yu suddenly found Ning Pingyue standing at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Xing Yu appearing, he took the initiative to walk towards him.
Ning Pingyue said to the Feiyun Valley disciple who was leading the way: "I have something I want to talk to Xingyu about, please make it convenient for Senior Brother." ”
Then the disciple hesitated: "There will be elders looking for them later, and I will take them to wait for the elders." ”
"I know the place that Senior Brother said, I was selected as a core disciple, and I happened to be going over, and I will take him there later. ”
The disciple thought for a while, after all, Ning Pingyue had been selected as a core disciple, and he was only a disciple of the Outer Valley, and his status in Feiyun Valley in the future would not be as good as Ning Pingyue's, so he didn't do much to stop it, and nodded and agreed. "Come with me, this is not the place to talk. Ning Pingyue came to the front of Xingyu and said in a flat tone. "Okay, I'll go with you. ”
Xing Yu knew that Ning Pingyue was coming to him now, probably just for what they had agreed before, so he agreed knowingly.
Xingyu and Ning Pingyue left together, leaving only Xu Tian with a suspicious face, but then she was relieved, Xingyu has many benefits as the first place in this trial, one of which is that she can become the concubine of Jin Wuguo, so Princess Pingyue is now looking for Xingyu, I'm afraid that's what she has to say.
There were two people standing in Ning Pingyue's boudoir at this time, it was Xingyu and Ning Pingyue who came here.
"You brought me here to tell me about the previous agreement. ”
Xing Yu looked around, Ning Pingyue's boudoir was not as gorgeous or elegant as he imagined, there was almost no decoration in the room except for the necessary living items, it was hard to imagine that this was the room of an imperial princess.
"Father will summon you tonight to talk to you about this reward, in addition to the middle-level lower grade spirit weapon we talked about earlier, there is another thing I think you should know. ”
When Ning Pingyue said this, her face was calm, and there was no wave in her eyes, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
How could Xing Yu not know what she was referring to, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't worry, I will refuse your father and emperor at that time, and I will not really marry you." “
Ning Pingyue interrupted him and said, "I came to you to tell you that I would like to agree to my father's request and make this marriage contract." “
Xing Yu was taken aback: "What did you say! Let me agree to the marriage contract?" "That's right. “
Xing Yu frowned: "Tell me the reason." “
Ning Pingyue said calmly: "I told you before that if I didn't marry the first place this time, I would also be used as a reward to marry the first place in the next trial in the future, rather than choose you, because I can see that you don't have those thoughts in your heart, so I will be more relieved." “
Without waiting for Xingyu to refute, she said again: "You can rest assured, I will not force you, I only need you to agree temporarily, and when the time comes, the marriage contract between me and you will be dissolved by itself, and it will not bind any of us." ”
Xing Yu still had some resistance in his heart: "That's what I said, but ......"
Ning Pingyue interrupted him: "After this trial is over, we will all go to Feiyun Valley to cultivate, when we are not in the same valley, naturally we will not disturb each other, during this period, I can also help you break the backlash power of that middle-level low-grade spirit weapon." ”
Xing Yu weighed it in his heart, and felt that it didn't actually have any effect on him, so he agreed.
"It's not too early, I'll take you to the place where the elders are, and this time we should choose our own valleys. ”
Xing Yu followed Ning Pingyue, and after a while, he came to a wide hall, and there were already many people in the hall, except for the seriously injured Wang Zifeng and Guo Cun and others, the rest were all there.
After seeing Ning Pingyue and Xingyu entering the main hall, the old woman at the head knew that all the people who should come had arrived, so she said loudly: "I have summoned you here to confirm with you that after entering the Feiyun Valley, you have a total of gold, water, fire, shadow, wood, medicine, and utensils, totaling seven grains, and each valley is different. ”
"The cultivation of metal, water, fire, and wood is the spiritual power of the four attributes. ”
"What Shadow Valley has learned is the art of stealth, hiding, and assassination. ”
"The Medicine Valley and the Instrument Valley are divided into alchemy pills and spiritual weapons. "Now, you can choose which valley you want to join, but if we think you have a better suit, we'll assign you to the same one. “
Han Tiangang behind the old woman stared at Xing Yu with his eyes, he didn't care about anyone else, except Xing Yu, he was determined to summon him into the Fire Valley, and he wanted to cultivate it as the most important core disciple, with a fire spirit body, which was too significant for the Fire Valley.
Xing Yu wanted to enter Feiyun Valley, and he was heading for the treasure land in the Valley of Fire, so he didn't hesitate and directly chose the Valley of Fire.
Han Tiangang was so excited in his heart when he saw Xing Yu choosing the Valley of Fire that he almost didn't shout out immediately, but after all, he was the first elder of the Valley of Fire, and his status was second only to the Lord of the Valley of Fire, so he still needed to pay attention to his image, and his face was still plain.
Subsequently, the rest of the people also chose their own valleys, Xu Tian chose Water Valley, and Ning Pingyue chose Mu Valley.
"Now that you have all chosen your own valleys, here is a copy of the rules of the Flying Cloud Valley, you can take it back and study it, and someone will take you to the Flying Cloud Valley early tomorrow morning. ”
The old woman's sleeve robe flicked, fourteen pieces of jade simply flew out, fell in front of everyone, Xing Yu accepted the jade slip, and after bowing with everyone, he turned around and exited the hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, there were already disciples of Feiyun Valley who led them, and arranged everyone into the wing room prepared by the royal family of Jin Wuguo one by one.
No one was disturbed, and Xing Yu meditated quietly in this chamber, waiting for the summons of Emperor Jin Wuguo.
In the free time of waiting, Xing Yu remembered the fire man in his mind, so he tried to call a few times, but there was no reaction in his mind at all.
Every time the burning man appeared, he himself suddenly appeared, and Xingyu's call had no effect.
And this time, the burning man helped him refine the Yin Soul Resentment in his body, and guided the Flame True Thunder to explode, the power in his body was almost exhausted, and finally fell into a deep sleep, Xing Yu was also thinking about how to wake it up again.
Time passed unconsciously, and when Xing Yu was closing his eyes and breathing, a voice that was neither yin nor yang suddenly sounded outside the door: "Is Xinggongzi here?" The old slave is hereby invited Xinggongzi to go to the Dengji Hall to talk about it, and His Majesty has set up a banquet in the Dengji Palace, and he is waiting for Xinggongzi. "Is it finally here?"
Xing Yu opened his eyes and slowly got up, he didn't immediately respond to the person outside, but took out a note from his sleeve.
I opened the note and looked at it, and it was written: "Be careful when you go to the banquet, beware of fraud." "Why did Princess Pingyue remind me of this?"
After the note came out of the main hall, Ning Pingyue stuffed it to him when people were not paying attention, and asked him to open it before going to see Ning Zexiao.
Xing Yu put the note on the candle, and after watching the note completely burned to ashes, he opened the door, and there was a person standing outside the door, it was the eunuch who had sent a message to invite the top thirty-two players to enter the palace for the banquet. "Xinggongzi, the old slave is polite, please Xinggongzi go with me, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. ”
Xing Yu nodded and followed the eunuch towards the Ascending Pole Palace, but before that, he had already sent a disciple of Feiyun Valley to inform him of his whereabouts in advance.
Although he didn't know what Ning Pingyue's note meant, he believed that Ning Pingyue would not make something out of nothing, so he secretly kept an eye on it.
The Dengji Hall is located in the center of the Jinmu Imperial Palace, which is the place where the emperor uses to deal with state affairs and entertain state guests every day.
Xing Yu walked into the main hall, and the first thing that caught his eye was Ning Zexiao, who was sitting high on the dragon seat of the emperor.
When Ning Zexiao saw Xingyu coming in, he immediately got up from the dragon seat and greeted him with a smile.
Xing Yu's current identity is already a core disciple of the Flying Cloud Valley Fire Valley, as long as he grows up in the future, he is qualified to compete for the position of the Lord of the Fire Valley Valley, no matter how bad it is, he can become an elder, and his status is higher than Ning Zexiao's position as the emperor of the mortal realm, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.
"Xing Gongzi is really extraordinary, a talent, and he deserves to be the first place in the selection trial. Ning Zexiao's face was kind, and he smiled at Xing Yu, not showing the slightest trace of imperial energy. "Your Majesty is falsely praised, it is just luck to win the first place. “
Xingyu did not salute Ning Zexiao, if it was his previous identity in Xingjia Town, I am afraid that it would be difficult to even see this emperor, but now that he has become a core disciple of Feiyun Valley, representing Feiyun Valley, naturally there is no need to salute him. "Xinggongzi, please take a seat, I have prepared a banquet, and I specially invited Xinggongzi to come and talk. “
Xing Yu didn't squirm, and went directly to his seat and sat down, the board in front of him was full of all kinds of delicacies, including many precious spirit beast ingredients. "Okay boy, please drink this cup to the fullest. Ning Zexiao picked up his wine glass and smiled at Xing Yu.
Xing Yu looked at Ning Zexiao lightly, without any movement, Ning Zexiao smiled, and was not annoyed, he directly drank the wine in the cup, and said: "If you invite Xing Gongzi to come this time, you must be able to guess one or two with the wisdom of Gongzi." “
Xing Yu looked at him silently, didn't answer, Ning Zexiao didn't mind, and continued: "I invited Gongzi to come over, I want to talk to Gongzi about the reward for the first place in the selection trial, I see that Gongzi's mind is not on the banquet, so I won't beat around the bush." “
After speaking, he slapped his palm on the screen behind him, and a person slowly flashed out from behind the screen, it was the tall and thin old man who had been standing behind Ning Zexiao in the stands during the previous selection trial.
The old man walked down the steps slowly, and with a wave of one hand, there was already an extra fiery red folding fan in his hand, which looked very ordinary, but Xing Yu's eyes suddenly stared after the folding fan appeared.
He felt a rich flame aura on this folding fan, and when this folding fan appeared, Xing Yu felt that the fire man who had been sleeping in his mind actually showed a trace of flames, and trembled slightly. "This should be the mid-level low-grade spirit weapon. “
Although that flame only appeared for a moment and then went out again, Xing Yu was already sure in his heart that this spiritual weapon must have some kind of connection with the fire man in his body.
