After Xiao Zhan entered Huayan Sect, he contacted Liu Ruyan as soon as possible.

Not long after, Liu Ruyan flew from a distance and landed beside Xiao Zhan.

She looked at Xiao Zhan and asked softly:

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said:

"Senior Sister Liu, is there any way to get Sun Hu and them to join the Huayan Sect?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head:

"If you want to join the Huayan Sect, you must pass the entrance examination."

Xiao Zhan snorted:

"Are there any exceptions?"

Liu Ruyan glanced at Xiao Zhan deeply:

"Yes."

"Elder Taishang, or a direct descendant of the sect master, can join our Huayan Sect unconditionally."

Xiao Zhan asked again:

"Is there any other way?"

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"Unless you have made a big contribution to the sect, you can apply to the sect."

Xiao Zhan thought about it, and with a wave of his hand, he took out hundreds of kyanites:

"Is that enough?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes:

"Where did you get so much kyanite?"

Xiao Zhan said half-truthfully:

"After we parted, I got it by accident."

Liu Ruyan obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't ask.

"These kyanites are not enough for Sun Hu and his three siblings to join the Huayan Sect."

"You may not even get a spot."

Xiao Zhan took out some more elixirs.

Liu Ruyan nodded:

"There should be hope for some spots."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then put away all these things, leaving only five kyanites.

"Senior Sister Liu, I'll give you these five kyanites."

Liu Ruyan asked with some surprise:

"Are you sure?"

Xiao Zhan snorted.

Liu Ruyan was not hypocritical, and after waving his hand to put away the five kyanites, he said truthfully:

"I asked the Refining Hall to tailor a weapon for me, and I really need kyanite."

"In exchange, whatever you need, as long as I have it, I can consider it for you, or find a way to get it for you."

Xiao Zhan shook his head.

He knew very well that if he wanted the three brothers and sisters of Sun Hu and the six people of Gao Yuan to join the Huayan Sect, if he went through the back door, the things he needed to pay would not be simple. net

And the most precious thing on his body now should be the remaining four drops of Demon Emperor Spiritual Liquid.

But the fact that Xiao Zhan has the Demon Emperor's spiritual liquid on his body, once it is known by others, it will inevitably lead to death.

Seeing Xiao Zhan shaking his head, Liu Ruyan pondered for two seconds, and suddenly said:

"There's another way."

"The disciples of the Huayan Sect are divided into three levels, I believe you already know."

"Outer disciples and inner disciples, generally speaking, there are no privileges."

"But the core disciple has certain privileges."

"And among the core disciples, there are a total of nine swordsmen."

"For every sword, nine squires are allowed."

It was the first time Xiao Zhan had heard of the 'Sword Son' and the 'Squire'.

Liu Ruyan went on to explain:

"Our Huayan Sect has a sword left by the ancestor of the founding sect, and it is also the first divine soldier of our Huayan Sect, called Huayan Sword."

"Inside the Huayan Sword, there is the energy sealed in it by the Patriarch, and whoever can use the Huayan Sword will be the next candidate for the sect master of our Huayan Sect."

"And the sword is selected from all the disciples of our Huayan Sect, nine disciples who can activate the Huayan Sword."

"You can understand that the nine swordsmen, just

It is our candidate for the next suzerain of the Huayan Sect."

"As for the sword-acolyte, they are the retinue of the nine swordsmen, who obey all the orders of the swords."

"In the past history of our Huayan Sect, when a sword son succeeded to the position of sect master, his nine sword attendants also became people of prominent status, and their strength was also very strong."

Xiao Zhan fell into deep thought again.

Seeing Xiao Zhan like this, Liu Ruyan shook his head and said:

"If you want to become a sword, you must first apply for a test to see if you can attract the ancestral energy sealed in the Huayan Sword, and whether you can obtain the approval of the Huayan Sword."

"Secondly, you must defeat any of the nine swords in order to take his place."

Become the sword of Huayan Sect.

Xiao Zhan began to weigh it in his heart.

If he didn't join, it would be safer for him, and he wouldn't be in the sight of the Huayan Sect's higher-ups.

It's just that this can't make Sun Hu and the others join Huayan Sect.

Sun Hu's three brothers and sisters, plus Gao Yuan's six people, are just nine places, as long as Xiao Zhan becomes one of the swordsmen, they can stay in Huayan Sect.

Xiao Zhan also knew very well that to be the sword of Huayan Sect, none of them would be simple characters, and it was not a simple matter for him to replace other people's quotas.

However, if he succeeds, not only will he be able to keep Sun Hu and the others, but he will also be able to get more cultivation resources and let his strength develop at a faster speed.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhan still looked at Liu Ruyan and asked:

"To whom do you apply?"

Liu Ruyan said truthfully:

"Under normal circumstances, it needs to be recommended by the elders, and finally the test will be conducted at the end of the year."

"If you want to take the test alone, you must find the Supreme Elder who guards the Huayan Sword."

"If that one doesn't agree, you'll have to go to an elder to recommend you, and wait until the end of the year."

Speaking of this, a touch of loss flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes:

"I also took the test last year, but unfortunately, I have no fate with Hua Yanjian."

"That Supreme Elder's surname is Hei, and his name is Hei Qunfeng."

"Elder Black usually hardly participates in the affairs of the sect, and is specifically responsible for guarding the Huayan Sword."

"But he's an old man, and he takes a class every month."

"You may still know that this Black Elder is the first sword cultivator of our Huayan Sect."

"Every time he goes to class, the number of disciples watching is the largest."

When Xiao Zhan heard this, he took out the disciple's identity card, and after injecting a trace of energy, he saw that the identity card emitted a light curtain.

Under Liu Ruyan's guidance, Xiao Zhan soon saw a dark-skinned, square-faced old man explaining the knowledge of kendo with a calm face.

Liu Ruyan reminded:

"Elder Black resides in Huayan Pool, the forbidden place of our Huayan Sect."

"It's impossible for you to go directly to him, so I suggest you ask directly."

"This communication jade plate can be questioned."

As he spoke, Liu Ruyan demonstrated it to Xiao Zhan.

He used his own energy to write a line of handwriting in the air, and with a wave of his hand, this line of handwriting entered the light curtain.

In the picture, the black elder paused for a moment, frowned slightly, but did not respond, but continued to continue what he had just said.

Liu Ruyan looked at Xiao Zhan and said softly:

"Let's see if Elder Black has replied to you in a while, and if not, you can go to other elders and see if other elders are willing to recommend you."

After speaking, Liu Ruyan jumped up, flew into the air, and disappeared from Xiao Zhan's sight.

Xiao Zhan's face was calm at this time.

If this black elder is unwilling to let himself participate in the assessment alone, then it is not unacceptable for him to find a way to ask other elders to recommend him and wait until the end of the year to participate in the assessment.

About two hours later, a golden light condensed a line of handwriting in front of Xiao Zhan:

"An hour later

, come to Huayan Pond."

Xiao Zhan smiled, and immediately flew into the air, flying in the direction of Huayan Pool.

Huayan Pond is the forbidden land of the Huayan sect, located in a bamboo forest with no end in sight.

After Xiao Zhan came to the outer area, he found that many disciples of the Huayan Sect were patrolling.

"This junior disciple," several disciples flew in front of Xiao Zhan and said in a deep voice:

"This is a forbidden place, let's go."

Xiao Zhan said truthfully:

"Elder Black called me."

Hearing this, several disciples were stunned:

"Junior is going to take the test?"

Xiao Zhan nodded.

The disciples didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

At this moment, an old and distant voice sounded:

"Come in."

Xiao Zhan rushed into the bamboo forest at this time.

After a while, Xiao Zhan came to a quiet place.

Here, there is a quiet courtyard, a small two-story bamboo building.

At this time, an old man was sitting cross-legged on the stone slab in the middle of the courtyard, looking at Xiao Zhan with a calm face.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and said softly:

"I've seen Elder Taishang."

Elder Black nodded faintly:

"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't agree to let you take the test alone."

"It's all for the sake of Liu Ruyan's girl's face."

Xiao Zhan nodded, probably guessing it.

He didn't think that he was lucky, and he didn't think that Elder Black would promise him if he had nothing to do.

Elder Hei stood up at this time and motioned for Xiao Zhan to follow him.

Behind the bamboo building, there is a pool of water mist, and the water of the pool is boiling and boiling.

Xiao Zhan noticed that around the pool, there were nine stone tablets like ice crystals, which were constantly emitting low temperatures and cold air.

Elder Black said slowly:

"These nine stone tablets are made of the cold ice of the earth, and they are used to suppress the high temperature emitted by the Huayan Sword."

"If not, I'm afraid that the entire Huayan Sect would have already been burned to ashes."

"This is the power of the Huayan Sword."

"Although every Sect Master can use the Huayan Sword, they can't use the true power of the Huayan Sword at all."

"We, Huayan Sect, have also been looking for someone who can truly control the Huayan Sword to lead our Huayan Sect to the next level!"

Speaking of this, Elder Black was silent for a moment, and said to Xiao Zhan:

"Take a few steps forward."

Xiao Zhan nodded, took a few steps forward, and stood on the edge of the pool.

Just for a moment, Xiao Zhan frowned.

The cold air emitted by the cold ice of the earth, as well as the heat wave that was constantly steaming in the pool water, made him feel as if he was in the middle of ice and fire, and the whole person was extremely uncomfortable.

After seeing Xiao Zhan's reaction, Elder Black nodded and said:

"Keep going."

Xiao Zhan took another step and was already standing on the water.

At this moment, that blazing aura instantly enveloped Xiao Zhan, not only that, but Xiao Zhan also felt as if he was locked by endless sword qi, and if he was not careful, he would die.

Elder Black frowned slightly:

"Go on!"

Xiao Zhan mobilized his energy, formed a layer of energy shield on the surface of his body, and took three steps in a row.

In the next moment, the surging blazing sword qi bombarded Xiao Zhan without warning.

Xiao Zhan flicked his wrist, and a white bone sword was held in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a sword light stabbed out, colliding with these sword qi that blasted towards him.

For a while, the sword qi on the entire Huayan Pond was vertical and horizontal, and the sound of explosions continued.
