Lin Dongjiu returned to the room and pushed open the door, only to see Yin Xiaodie sitting on a chair with a worried look on her face.

Yin Xiaodie saw that Lin Dongjiu was back, and her worried expression immediately retracted, and she walked to Lin Dongjiu's side and asked in a coquettish voice:

"Benefactor, who are those? What are you doing in Lei Guangzong so late? ”

Lin Dongjiu was now physically and mentally exhausted, and said casually: "The people of the Phantom Sect have come to me to find fault." ”

Yin Xiaodie covered her mouth and exclaimed, "That... Then what about their benefactors, right? ”

"Nothing, or I probably wouldn't be able to come back now." Lin Dongjiu smiled faintly.

"Benefactor, look at your sad appearance, are you too tired, let's rest early today."

Yin Xiaodie said very seriously: "If the benefactor does not want to share the bed with the slave family, the slave family can sleep on the ground..."

Lin Dongjiu waved his hand: "No, you can sleep first, and I'll sit for a while." ”

Yin Xiaodie grinned and said, "Then the slave family will go to help the benefactor warm the bed first!" ”

Lin Dongjiu just nodded, and when he saw Yin Xiaodie get into the bed, he casually flicked out the candles in the room.

The darkness flooded the entire room, and Lin Dongjiu sat on the chair, holding his chin with both hands, his brows twisted together, and the blue tendons on his forehead loomed.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was late at night, and everything was silent, and only Yin Xiaodie's sound of sleep could be heard in the room.

Sleepiness struck, Lin Dongjiu subconsciously glanced at the bed tent, and his gaze couldn't help but stop on Yin Xiaodie's sleeping face.

Yin Xiaodie... Lin Dongjiu's face stiffened, his pupils shrank slightly, but he withdrew it quietly and continued to sit in the chair in a daze.

He sighed and shook his head, his face full of confusion, and his eyes sank with the moonlight in the sky...

...

At the beginning of the morning sun, Yin Xiaodie woke up slowly, stretched, and turned her head to see Lin Dongjiu standing by the window, looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

The cool breeze stirred his long hair, the golden morning light reflected the knife-like side of his face, and the cold light was refracted in his bottomless eyes.

Yin Xiaodie was stunned, and then as if she realized something, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly withdrew her gaze, but for no reason, she inexplicably felt empty in her heart, and her red lips trembled slightly.

Restraining her emotions, Yin Xiaodie straightened her clothes, got out of bed, walked beside Lin Dongjiu, and followed his gaze to look out the window, but there was nothing outside the window except for the blue sky.

Yin Xiaodie asked aloud:

"Benefactor, haven't you slept all night?"

Lin Dongjiu turned his head slowly, with deep exhaustion in his eyes.

"Well, I'm going to get some sleep."

He staggered to the edge of the bed, took off his shoes and lay down.

He didn't want to use cultivation to relieve his exhaustion, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

He was so tired that he didn't like this life.

After a while, a well-proportioned breath came, and Lin Dongjiu fell asleep deeply.

Yin Xiaodie glanced at him, took his place, and looked out the window, silent as a statue.

...

I don't know when, Lin Dongjiu woke up quietly, and it was dark in front of him.

Did you sleep until dark?

Lin Dongjiu smelled the faint fragrance coming from beside him, removed the lotus root arm that was pressed on his chest, and fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Lin Dongjiu opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbidity, only to feel refreshed and full of energy.

He got up and got dressed, and woke up Yin Xiaodie next to him:

"Fluttershy, let's go, let's go back to Crescent City."

"Ahh Good~"

Yin Xiaodie stretched her waist and left the room with him after getting up.

After saying goodbye to Elder Ji Ping, Lin Dongjiu sacrificed the Flying Cloud Boat, took Yin Xiaodie, and rushed to Crescent City at a very fast speed.

Yin Xiaodie had never sat on this kind of flying magic weapon, she looked around with wide eyes, and was amazed:

"Benefactor, your baby is so good, the slave family has never seen it."

It's not only good, but it's also very hard... Lin Dongjiu smiled and ignored her anymore.

About half an hour later, Lin Dongjiu drove the Flying Cloud Boat to the outskirts of Crescent City.

took Feiyunzhou and entered the city with Yin Xiaodie.

Today's Crescent City is particularly lively, the new city lord takes office and the alchemy big election, everything is not a trivial matter, so there are many monks who rushed to hear the news.

But these monks may not be interested in the new city lord taking office, they are interested in those Dan masters.

Danshi can be said to be a giant panda in the immortal cultivation world, especially the wild Danshi, and it is the object that some small forces and small sects like to compete for hiring.

Wild Dan Masters will also be sought after by Loose Cultivators, because some Loose Cultivators can't afford to buy the pills sold in the Great Dan Pavilion at all, so they can only collect the materials needed for alchemy first, and then ask Wild Dan Masters to refine them, and the cost is relatively much lower.

Wild Danshi is also happy to help them refine the pill, purely to earn some extra money and subsidize the family.

After all, learning alchemy is very expensive, once the furnace is fried, not to mention that the Dan furnace is wasted, the materials for alchemy will also turn into nothingness.

There is no need to deliberately inquire, as long as you follow the flow of people, Lin Dongjiu will take Yin Xiaodie to the place of registration after a while.

There are not as many Danshi in line as expected, there are only about a few dozen, and most of them are watching the lively melon-eating masses.

Anyone who went to line up would immediately be surrounded by groups of three or five people, enjoying the treatment of the stars holding the moon.

They are like salesmen, introducing to those Dan masters the treatment and conditions that their own forces or sects can offer them.

Lin Dongjiu was naturally not spared, at first he would politely wave his hand and refuse, but then he was really impatient to be surrounded, so he had to put on a stinky face.

But the effect was also excellent, and those salesmen saw that Lin Dongjiu had no intention, so they stopped coming forward to disturb.

Anyway, three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are not many two-legged Danshi here, so why bother to be thankless and be a humble little licking dog?

Yin Xiaodie still hugged Lin Dongjiu's arm, she seemed to have little resistance to the lively environment, chattering endlessly, Lin Dongjiu also responded with a smile, happy and happy, in the eyes of outsiders, like a little couple.

About half an hour later, Lin Dongjiu was finally lined up.

The registration process is very simple, fill out a form, test the bone age, the limit is twelve to twenty-two years old, and then receive a jade plaque representing the identity, and then wait for the organizer to arrange the alchemy venue and Dan furnace in the afternoon.

The top 10 in the final election can qualify to go to the Imperial City to participate in the big competition, and the process is efficient, but it only takes one day.

At noon, the Crescent City Lord of Crescent City will take office in the City Lord's Mansion and show his face to everyone.

Lin Dongjiu was not interested in this, but when he heard that the new city lord was called Chen Dongsheng, he took Yin Xiaodie for a light meal, walked around the street with her bored, and took her to the election venue again after the time was almost up.

The square in front of the Lord's Mansion of Crescent City.

When I arrived at the square, there were more than three times as many people who came to watch the melon eating than when they signed up.

There was a cordon in the center of the square, and dozens of Dan furnaces were placed in turn in the cordon, and there were also some alchemy materials such as spiritual herbs and elixirs prepared next to the Dan furnaces.

Outside the square, facing the direction of the Lord's Mansion, a tall stand was erected, and at the head of it was a man dressed in fine clothes.

This man is emaciated, and the gorgeous clothes on his body are barely supported, the cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks are high and protruding, and the eye circles are very heavy.

Presumably, this man is the new city lord of Crescent City, if he looks like this, if his political performance is not good, he may be assassinated again... Lin Dongjiu teased casually in his heart.

However, he looked at Chen Dongsheng's eyes extremely sharp, and he talked eloquently with people around him, and his temperament was outstanding, but he didn't look like a lewd.

Immediately, Lin Dongjiu frowned, he felt that Chen Dongsheng gave him a very familiar feeling, like an acquaintance... Is it a delusion?

The steward was already beckoning the players to enter, Lin Dongjiu shook his head, and before he had time to think about it, after arranging Yin Xiaodie on the periphery of the venue, he entered the arena with the other Dan masters.

Before parting, Yin Xiaodie also waved her hand excitedly to Lin Dongjiu:

"Come on, benefactor, the slave family is waiting for your good news..."

However, not long after Lin Dongjiu left, three men suddenly surrounded Yin Xiaodie, who was standing in the crowd.

One of the men, dressed in gold and silver, walked up to her and said politely:

"In Xia Yandang, my father is the head of the Yan family in Crescent City, and there is an exclusive seat for my Yan family over there, so why don't you go with me, so as not to suffer from this scorching sun, how about it?"

On the surface, he is as gentle as jade, but his obscene gaze is on Yin Xiaodie, not letting go of every part.

The melon-eating crowd who noticed this scene shook their heads secretly, the Yan family was one of the first forces to defect to the Phantom Sect, so the Yan family was extremely powerful in Crescent City.

This Yan Dang himself is a complete gentleman, and because he is the only son of the Yan family, he is spoiled on weekdays, and with the relationship in his family, he is rampant and domineering in Crescent City, and does all kinds of evil.

If you fall in love with a lady, even if it's on the street, you'll be taken captive.

I'm afraid this little girl won't be able to escape today... Everyone sighed in their hearts, but they all watched coldly, and they didn't care about themselves.

The charm of Lin Dongjiu in Yin Xiaodie's eyes has long since disappeared, replaced by indifference and disgust with murderous intent.

"The girl's skin is tender and tender, and I will feel distressed if it is sunburned."

After that, Yan Dang smiled lewdly and was about to pull Yin Xiaodie's hand.

Yin Xiaodie just snorted coldly, and Yan Danggang's outstretched hand was immediately firmly grasped.

Yan Dang's face showed annoyance, but then he showed a touch of playfulness, he estimated that he was not used to him for a long time, and wanted to play a hero to save the beauty.

He has encountered too many such tricks, and as a result, the people in the way have not been trampled under his feet.

However, he always expects such a farce, just because it will make him more happy and make his perverted psychology greatly satisfied.

The two retinues he brought were not vegetarians, but were offered by his father at a great price in the immortal cultivation world, which was one of the reasons why he dared to be unscrupulous in the city.

Wait, what about those two of my retinues... Thinking of this, Yan Dang, who was immersed in the role of the villain, changed his face.

With those two retinues here, they won't let outsiders get close at all, let alone be clamped wrists...

Yan immediately weakened his legs and turned back tremblingly, but saw that he was captured by a tall and burly man wearing a dark purple long suit, and behind this man, there were five others wearing the same clothes as him!

As for the two retinues he brought, they were long gone.

"You... Who are you! Do you know, my father is Yan Kuan, let me go quickly, otherwise I won't have good fruit to eat! ”

No matter how stupid Yan Dang is, he finally realized that something was wrong at this moment.

Maybe it's because I've been arrogant for so many years, and the realm of cruel words has reached the point where I can say what I say, and I will come when I open my mouth.

However, as soon as he said cruel words, he regretted it, and he wanted to kneel down on the spot and beg for mercy, but it was too late to say anything.

Because he saw the man gesture to the little lady he had just accosted, and then took out the knife and put it close to his body, and stabbed it into his heart.

Yan Dang's eyes widened and his breath was broken, Yin Xiaodie waved his hand in disgust, and the burly man dragged his body and bowed down.

There was silence...

The people who ate melons were all frightened by the scene just now, and even those who were closer to Yin Xiaodie silently retreated.

Within three feet, no one is close!

The scene just now didn't make much of a splash in the crowd, as if it hadn't happened.

This is not the Imperial City, but the Crescent City, the city is mixed, and most of them are monks licking blood on the tip of the knife, and the city lord has someone who dares to assassinate, let alone killing someone outside the election, and the people who eat melons have long been used to it.

However, there are still good deeds who probe their brains and look at the seat where the Yan family is located, looking forward to the revenge drama that may be staged next.

But what puzzled them was that they didn't notice for a while that the Yan family's seat was empty, and even the head of the Yan family was gone, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

There are smart melon-eating people who have vaguely guessed something, and their eyes at Yin Xiaodie have completely changed, as if for verification, they looked at Cheng Dongsheng on the high platform again.

Chen Dongsheng didn't seem to notice the movement here, he was still chatting and laughing with the left and right, and the guess in his heart was a little more determined.

It's a person from the Phantom Sect!

Could it be the Sect Master's Lady who has come to experience life?!

...

The Dan masters participating in the general election were handing over to the steward, dealing with the verification of identities and the distribution of the Dan furnace, and the conflict just now did not cause a riot, so Lin Dongjiu did not notice the scene that happened here.

After all the preparations were settled, Lin Dongjiu was led by the steward and came to his own Dan furnace.

Next, Chen Dongsheng got up and said an unnutritious opening remark, seeing that no one was birding him, so it ended quickly.

The most important thing is in the back, after Chen Dongsheng finished speaking, the two old men sitting next to him stood up, and the Danshi in the audience immediately solemnized and made a posture of listening carefully.

Lin Dongjiu had already inquired, these two old men were two elders hired from Baicaodi, both of whom were at the level of King Dan and had a very high reputation.

The two old men glanced at each other, and one of the old men coughed, and said angrily:

"Old man Jia Wen, who is in charge of the ruling of this election, let me tell you about the content of the election competition."

"Do you see the spirit grass under your feet, they are Snow Ginseng Flower, Dust Grass and Shantideva. You didn't guess wrong, this time you are going to refine a furnace of the quenching pill commonly used by Qi Realm cultivators, the Gathering Bone Pill. ”

"Within an hour, whoever refines the Bone Gathering Pill with more quantity and higher quality will win, and will be ranked in the top ten with this, and will be qualified to go to the Imperial City to participate in the Twenty-Year Lingyun Kingdom Alchemy Competition."

Another old man spoke:

"The Bone Gathering Pill is considered to be an elixir that is often refined by Dan masters, and it can be refined by a first-grade Dan master at the spirit level.

The reason why I chose to refine this pill as the content of the competition is to balance the gap between your grades and test your foundation. ”

Hearing this, all the Danshi couldn't stop nodding, this election can be said to be quite fair.

The pill of Jugu Dan may be easy to refine for high-grade Dan masters, but the quality of the pill is not necessarily as high as that of low-level Dan masters.

So the old man is right, this election is a test of who can calm down more and whose skills are more solid.

Lin Dongjiu frowned, although he was a Xuan-rank first-grade Dan Master, coupled with the blessing of the Cloud Splitting Dan Hand, it was easy to win the top ten.

But what kind of place is this?

Big than the scene!

A great occasion to earn followers!

With the sound of the earth-shattering gong, the competition officially began, and the Dan masters quickly entered the state, refining the pill in full swing.

Lin Dongjiu stiffened, did not move, and looked around the audience with an arrogant attitude.

When he felt that a lot of eyes on the periphery fell on him, he didn't hear the prompt sound of the increase in the attention value.

Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Dongjiu almost became the focus of the audience.

"Eh, look at that Dan Master, why haven't you started alchemy?"

"Isn't it a fish in troubled waters, so as to attract attention?"

"Good girl, I've seen this kind of goods before, but it's the first time I've seen him if I don't have that strength and pretend to be a master, you look at his cheap appearance, I really want to beat him."

"When the game is over, let's not let him run away, how about beating him?"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded..."

"Little guy, why haven't you started alchemy..."

Yin Xiaodie blinked her beautiful eyes, slightly surprised, for some reason, she was a little annoyed by the gossip of those melon-eating people.

What Yin Xiaodie didn't know was that not far from her, there was a tall woman dressed in black mixed in the melon-eating crowd, she pinched her pink fists, listening to the slander of Lin Dongjiu by the melon-eating crowd, her willow eyebrows frowned tightly, and she was also secretly annoyed.

Perhaps because of the experience of the Yan family, she was so beautiful that no one dared to come forward to talk to her.

In the stands, Jia Wen also noticed this scene, and said to the old man sitting next to him:

"It seems that a fake Dan Master has been mixed in, do you want to get him out?"

The old man took a sip of tea and glanced at Lin Dongjiu lightly:

"It's okay, as long as it doesn't affect other people's alchemy, anyway, it's himself who makes a fool of himself in the end."

Javin nodded, ignoring it.

Zhang Dongsheng stared at Lin Dongjiu with interest, his eyes were a little playful.

Lin Dongjiu heard the discussion from the outside world, and his scalp was numb in embarrassment, but fortunately, his skin was thick enough, and the upper limit of earning attention in this way was very low, and the attention value stopped rising after a while.

Laugh, I'll get you to spit out all your attention... Lin Dongjiu snorted coldly, the light in his eyes flashed, and a dark white flame ignited in his hand, raising his hand and throwing it into the Dan furnace in front of him.

Call!

The fire was blazing, and the white light from the walls of the furnace was dazzling even in the sunlight.

As soon as the fire was fired, the criticism stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the melon-eating crowd widened, and the attention value rose at a completely different speed than just now.

"Look, he actually has a different fire from heaven and earth, shouldn't he..."

In terms of how to maximize the attention value earned, Lin Dongjiu still has a hand, but the way is it, it's very unpleasant!

But it didn't work...

If you want to earn attention to the greatest extent, it is not just as simple as attracting attention, but it is necessary to trigger a strong psychological gap among followers and produce huge emotional fluctuations.

To put it in layman's terms, it is called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

A little more vulgar, it's called pretending to be bigger...

But to be honest, Lin Dongjiu really didn't want to pretend in front of so many people, and when he thought of the trouble that might be caused in the future, he felt that his head was big.

Fortunately, there are also one or two Dan masters who have different fires in the world, and Lin Dongjiu is not too outstanding, and after the exclamation, the speed of the increase in the attention value has still slowed down.

It was not only the wild Danshi who came to participate in the audition, but also some Danshi who came out to participate on behalf of the sect.

The Heaven and Earth Alien Fire in their hands can already be called the treasure of the Zhenzong, but in order to obtain the qualification to go to the Imperial City to participate in the alchemy competition, they are naturally not afraid of swagger, and even want to take advantage of this to attract more eyeballs and publicize the name of the sect.

Who let them not be alone, but have their own sect as a guarantee, and they still have the confidence to dare to show their goods.

The people who ate melons present may have coveted it, but no one is stupid enough to go against a sect.

But Lin Dongjiu is different, maybe after the election, I am afraid that there will be waves of people who come to find trouble.

Although he is not afraid, with his current cultivation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is walking sideways under the infant realm.

And where are there any masters above the infant realm among these melon-eating masses, but when they reach that level, they all run to be the sect master and be an elder to enjoy the blessings, how can they mix in the melon-eating masses to bask in the sun and suffer crimes.

What he is afraid of is that it will be too troublesome to deal with, and he is the most afraid of trouble.

Yin Xiaodie is a nuisance...
