Chapter 110: Viscount Lu Xiu
The sky is as blue as a wash, and the snow and white clouds that are as soft as cotton candy dot the sky.
High in the sky, a snow-white giant eagle flew quickly.
"Yin Lan, we have entered the border of the Dahua Kingdom, we must remember what I told you, if you can finally enter the Refining Weapon Saint Tower and try to earn points, that is the foundation of your foothold in the Refining Weapon Saint Tower. ”
On the back of the snow-white giant eagle, Yin Lan and Ji Yinxuan sat around, the wind was howling around, Ji Yinxuan urged his spiritual power, and propped up a looming transparent air cover, covering himself and Yin Lan, avoiding the impact of the frenzied air currents in the sky.
"I remember, I'll try to get Santa points. After listening to Ji Yinxuan's extremely solemn admonition, Yin Lan nodded.
After more than a month of calm and busy life, yesterday afternoon, Yin Lan set off with Ji Yinxuan to the Dahua Kingdom, flying for more than 20 hours, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and finally entered the scope of the Dahua Kingdom, ready to participate in the assessment of the Refining Holy Tower.
Along the way, Ji Yinxuan explained a lot of things to Yin Lan about the Refining Saint Tower, hoping to let Yin Lan have enough understanding of the Refining Saint Tower, especially about the cruelty of the internal competition within the Refining Saint Tower, Ji Yinxuan said it many times.
The Holy Tower of Refining, although it is the holy land of refining that many low-grade craftsmen dream of, but it is not a paradise, let alone simply learning the knowledge of refining, the competition inside is extremely fierce, and every student is destined to bear tremendous pressure the moment he enters the Holy Tower of Refining, and even faces the threat of death.
If Yin Lan hadn't already had enough knowledge of the Refining Weapon Saint Tower in his previous life, he would definitely be very shocked—if he entered the legendary Refining Weapon Holy Land to study, he might still die?
In fact, the mortality rate of the students in the Refining Saint Tower has reached ten percent, that is to say, every year the Refining Saint Pagoda will admit a thousand students, and in four years, there are only nine hundred refiners who can come out alive.
But this still can't change the status of the Refining Saint Tower in the hearts of many refiners, after all, the rewards obtained in the Refining Saint Tower are far more than the pressure and shock danger they endure, but any refiner who is not too poorly qualified, in that environment, can successfully survive to graduation, and the refining strength will be greatly improved.
For example, Ji Yinxuan, when he entered the Refining Pagoda ten years ago, he only passed the assessment, but after four years, he changed from an ordinary low-grade craftsman to a middle-grade craftsman, and even after a few years of precipitation, he has already touched the threshold of a high-grade craftsman in terms of spiritual power circuits!
Even, there are some people with outstanding talents, with the strength of the title of refining master to enter the refining holy tower, after graduation, they directly became a high-grade craftsman, although such evil characters are very rare, and there may not be one in a year, but at least it can be shown that the refining holy tower is indeed a holy place for cultivating refiners.
"There is the aura of a sixth-level demonic beast in front. Suddenly, Ji Yinxuan sensed that there was a powerful force emanating from him, and hurriedly shouted to the snow-white giant eagle under him: "Bai Xue, lower the flight altitude and detour!"
In the Dahua Kingdom, there are countless strong people with Warcraft mounts, many of them have flying mounts, when flying in the air, once they perceive that the stranger in front of them is stronger than themselves, they must lower their altitude and make a detour to show respect, otherwise, if the other party is the kind of strong man with a bad temper and arrogant personality, he will feel offended, and maybe it will cause a killing disaster.
In the kingdom, there are countless strong people, and Ji Yinxuan is considered a hegemon-level figure in the Principality of Gran, but when she comes to the territory of the kingdom, it is an indispensable rule to be a man with her tail between her legs.
In just a few hours of flying, Ji Yinxuan and Yin Lan met more than a dozen spiritual cultivators riding powerful demonic beasts, and even a few of them were high-level spiritual cultivators who had reached the seventh level, so you can imagine how many powerful people there are in a kingdom.
Fortunately, Ji Yinxuan often instructed the snow-white giant eagle to lower its altitude and make a detour, so she didn't get into any trouble.
Ji Yinxuan said to Yin Lan: "I have already arrived at my teacher's territory." ”
Then, the snow-white eagle descended downwards and landed outside a majestic ancient castle.
"Let's go. Ji Yinxuan took Yin Lan and walked towards the castle.
Yin Lan glanced at the castle a few times and followed Ji Yinxuan's footsteps.
"Ah, brother, what kind of place is this?" In the gray backpack behind Yin Lan, a small head as smooth as topaz suddenly appeared, it looked like a human baby, without ears, and a pair of big eyes stared at the castle curiously, and at the same time, transmitted a voice to Yin Lan's heart.
This is the child of the mountain rock giant, Changsheng, this time he came to the Refining Weapon Sacred Tower, and Yin Lan also brought it out, after all, Yin Lan is afraid that he will stay in the Refining Weapon Saint Tower for a long time next, and it is impossible to leave Changsheng alone in the Chilin Sect.
The current Changsheng, although he can't speak human words, has been able to express his meaning clearly through telephony, and his tone is immature and cute.
It calls Yin Lan his brother, in fact, because of the existence of the equal contract, it and Yin Lan have a natural sense of intimacy, and in their pure hearts, they do regard Yin Lan as their own brother.
"This is the castle, Changsheng, do you like it here, do you want to live here?" Yin Lan stretched out his hand back, touched Changsheng's little head that was smooth and warm like nephrite, and asked with a soft smile.
"Ah, brother, do you want to live here?"
"I don't want to live, I'm going to a place where the Holy Tower of Refining Weapons is located. ”
"Ah, then I'm going to be with you. ”
Yin Lan entered the magnificent castle while communicating with the immortal soul, and the ancient aristocratic atmosphere that had been precipitated by the years suddenly came to his face.
"Yin Xuan, my child, you have finally come to visit me, this old fellow!" Under the hospitality of a polite butler, Yin Lan and Ji Yinxuan waited for a while, and an old but energetic voice sounded, only to see a slightly chubby old man wearing a silver-gray trimmed blue robe, walking over with a happy face, and after saying hello to Ji Yinxuan, he looked at Yin Lan: "This is the young man who has a great talent for refining weapons? Oh, the gods are above, you are younger than I imagined, haha, welcome to Fenghua Castle." ”
This old man speaks the pure lingua franca of the mainland.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Ji Yinxuan smiled happily when she saw this enthusiastic chubby old man.
Yin Lan saluted with one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and greeted in a proficient continental language: "I have seen Viscount Lu Xiu." ”
Viscount Lu Xiu is Ji Yinxuan's teacher, but this viscount is an ordinary person who can't cultivate, not even an apprentice, about the relationship between this viscount and Ji Yinxuan, Yin Lan heard Ji Yinxuan say something in his previous life.
Ji Yinxuan's parents, both from Qinglan Kingdom, once saved the life of this viscount, so Ji Yinxuan's parents let their daughter worship under this viscount and follow the viscount to learn the common language of the mainland for a long time, as well as the human geography of the entire continent.
The languages of various countries on the Shanlan Continent are different, but in the kingdoms that have reached the level of moderate civilization, the continental lingua franca has been popularized, even ordinary civilians, more than 80% of them can speak the lingua franca, and the Chinese language is rarely used in daily life.
Viscount Lu Xiu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Yin Lan speak a fluent and pure continental lingua franca, and he exclaimed: "You speak the lingua franca very well, did you learn from Yin Xuan?"
"Teacher, Yin Lan himself knows the lingua franca of the mainland. Ji Yinxuan explained on the side, Ji Yinxuan was also puzzled about this at first, but she always thought that Yin Lan had a mysterious background, and it was not surprising that she could speak the lingua franca of the mainland on such a premise.
Then a few people greeted, Viscount Lu Xiu did not look like a nobleman with a hereditary viscount title at all, but a very enthusiastic old man, without the slightest arrogance, and did not look down on Yin Lan, a country boy born in a small remote country.
After all, for many people of the kingdom, even the children of the royal family of those principalities are also countrymen, they are very proud and proud of their identity as subjects of the kingdom, and most of them have a discriminatory psychology towards foreigners from lower civilizations, even some commoners and even poor people, in front of foreigners from lower civilizations, have an innate sense of superiority.
Of course, in the face of foreigners who are stronger than themselves, they will only be jealous in their hearts, and when they are still weak foreigners, they will not hide their contempt.
In the eyes of many people of the kingdom, people in low-level civilized countries can't even speak the lingua franca of the mainland, and they are complete hillbillies.
And the nobles of the kingdom have a stronger sense of superiority towards foreigners in low-level civilized countries, but this Viscount Lu Xiu is an alternative figure among the nobles of the kingdom, Yin Lan can feel that Viscount Lu Xiu, who has a warm personality and even a little arrogant, does not have any sense of discrimination, but welcomes himself from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps, it's because Viscount Lu Xiu is a nobleman, but he is a waste person who can't cultivate, and after being stared at and ridiculed, he knows how to respect others more, right?
In his previous life, Yin Lan only heard Ji Yinxuan say something about this Viscount Lu Xiu, but he had never met, and when he came into contact today, Yin Lan had a good impression of this Viscount Lu Xiu.
Viscount Lu Xiu prepared a grand reception dinner, and at the banquet, Viscount Lu Xiu asked Yin Lan curiously: "Young man, more than a month ago, Yin Xuan sent me a message, hoping that I would recommend you to enter the Refining Saint Tower to study, saying that you have been able to enter the realm of forging gods, although I can't cultivate, let alone refine weapons, but I have read a lot of books, and I know that this is a rare refining talent! However, if you want to enter the Refining Saint Tower, you need to at least meet the standards of a low-grade artifact craftsman in terms of forging or spiritual power circuits, are you sure that the assessment will be successful?" ”
