Chapter 61: Elders Summoned (2)
The Dixingzhou was quickly refined, and there was a martial artist to help with the refining, and the efficiency was self-evident.
"Give!"
As soon as Elder Zhang's palm was thrown, it fell into Yang Ji's hands.
"As I said, the sect will be rewarded for its merits, and punished for its mistakes. This time, you made a contribution and discovered the evil path lair near our mountain gate in time, which prevented our Iron Crown Sect from suffering greater casualties, and the disciples of the sect who saved it also greatly boosted the reputation of our Iron Crown Sect. β
"All these merits are to be rewarded. Have you figured it out, what do you want?"
Elder Zhang smiled.
"The disciple didn't dare, so he asked the elders to give it to him. β
Yang Jigong said.
"Huh. With your current state, the Mighty Pill and ordinary flying swords are of little use to you. You've already been to the Cave of the Scriptures. I heard that you are preparing for the martial arts examination next year?"
Elder Zhang asked with a smile.
"The disciple does have this intention. β
Yang Jigong said. He came in as a "martial arts boy" in the examination, and it was impossible not to take the "Wu Xiucai" examination.
"How sure are you?"
Elder Zhang's smile became even kinder.
"This ......"
Yang Ji hesitated. Every session of the martial arts examination is fiercely competitive, and the examination of a "martial arts boy" alone is already extremely miserable, let alone "Wu Xiucai".
However, Yang Ji also has his own self-esteem and self-confidence.
In the coming year's "martial arts examination", there are many masters and fierce competition. But he's definitely not going to be far behind.
"The disciple didn't dare to say too much, but ...... , the disciple is confident that he will not lose to others!"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
"Haha, good!"
Elder Zhang gave a thumbs up, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked appreciative:
"Our disciples of the Iron Crown Sect are meant to have this kind of self-confidence. But. I see that you haven't broken through the small week yet. I'm afraid that the coming year will be difficult. I have a 'Tongqiao Pill' here, which can dredge the acupoints, so I will reward you." β
"Great!"
Yang Ji was overjoyed, and his eyes were bright. He never thought that what Elder Zhang wanted to reward him was actually this. Among the sects, there are the most powerful pills such as "Vigorous Pill" and "Essence Blood Pill" that increase power. The most difficult thing to get is this kind of pill with special effects, let alone the "Tongqi Pill".
This is tantamount to a ticket to "Little Sunday".
With this elixir, he was much more sure of being admitted to "Wu Xiucai".
"The medicinal power of the Tongqi Pill is powerful. Originally, it was generally not rewarded. This is a rare exception. I heard that you are still the first martial artist in Pingchuan County, I hope you will not disappoint me and the elders this time. β
Elder Zhang said with deep meaning.
"The disciple must work hard. β
Yang Ji said excitedly.
"Huh. β
Elder Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, obviously very satisfied with Yang Ji's expression:
"Inside the acupuncture, it is the most subtle. Although the Tongqi Pill was swallowed directly. Only five or six acupuncture points can be dredged. I see that you have already achieved a small success, so you don't need to rush it. Wait until the ultimatum dovetail and the most difficult acupuncture points of the blood chakra to take it, so that the effect is the best. -- Take it. β
In the last sentence, Zhang and the old finger flicked. A small "sandalwood box" flew out.
"Thank you, Elder, for your generous kindness. β
Yang Ji took the sandalwood box and thanked him.
Waiting for Yang Ji to leave, in the main hall, Elder Zhang's expression also calmed down, and there was no smile on his face. There was a hint of worry in those wise eyes.
"How is it? How do you feel about this disciple?"
Yang Ji had just left on his front foot, and behind the main hall, Elder Zhang was "recuperating from his injuries" in his mouth, and the "Elder Punishment" who couldn't come to see him immediately turned out. A smile on his face.
"The qualifications are good, and there is such a cultivation at the age of eighteen. It's also good. It's just that Xiao Zhoutian hasn't been opened yet, so it's not optimistic. β
Elder Zhang said with a worried expression, far less optimistic than he was in front of Yang Ji.
This year's disciples' qualifications are far less optimistic, and they can impact the "Little Zhoutian", and the number of people participating in the martial arts examination is too small compared to other sects.
"That's why I asked you to take out that Trick Pill. β
Elder Torture smiled and groaned:
"Being able to escape from the hands of a new star like the Evil Prince, this qualification and intelligence. ...... I'm very optimistic about him. β
"I hope so. β
Elder Zhang could only say this, but the worry in his eyes did not decrease.
Relations between the various factions in the "Battle of Langya" deteriorated. First, the Beishan faction sued the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect for attacking and killing the disciples of the sect, and then the disciples of the Beishan faction accused the people of the Iron Sword Sect of secretly killing them.
All this has led to a sharp deterioration in relations between the various factions. Although there is still harmony on the surface, there are already a lot of small actions in private.
The martial arts examination is a place to show the strength of the sect. At the same time, it is also an important occasion to deter other denominations. If the Iron Crown Sect can occupy the majority of the "Martial Arts" and demonstrate the strength of its own faction, it will be able to minimize the hostility from other sects to the greatest extent.
As for those "no harvest" sects, I am afraid that they will be stormy in the future, and it is difficult to say whether they can gain a foothold.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been many denominations that have dissipated for this reason.
It's just that these things that involve sectarian politics are impossible to explain to the disciples under them.
......
Yang Ji didn't know Elder Zhang's plans. Turning out of the gate, you will be greeted by a square of iron casting, and many Dan furnaces emitting bunches of green smoke, which looks very spectacular.
"It's so heavy. β
Yang Ji retracted his gaze and checked the sandalwood box in his hand.
Yang Ji had heard the name of "Tongqiao Dan" before, but he had never seen it. This elixir gave him a very strange feeling. The pills in the box rolled around like lead eggs.
The weight of the elixir is heavier than the box!
"This pill can't be taken for the time being. It's better to wait until the last level of the impact on Xiao Zhoutian. β
Yang Ji secretly checked it in his heart and stuffed it directly into his arms.
In the square, people came and went, and many elders and disciples were carrying trays of dead herbs, strangely fragrant branches, and the blood of unknown creatures...... , back and forth poured into those Dan furnaces.
After a few trips, Yang Ji also saw a little fame. Most of the time these elders practiced making pills was quite long, a few days, more than ten days. Maybe for a few months.
Although it takes a long time, the peace of mind is that you don't need to watch it all the time. It's much more convenient for these elders.
"Good opportunity. β
There were people coming and going in the square, and no one noticed Yang Ji, which provided him with an opportunity. Yang Ji lowered his head and walked quickly outside the main hall. Rounded into the shadows.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw a disciple of the Iron Crown Sect in his twenties walking out of the main hall, carrying a food box, and walking in the direction of the back mountain.
"And sure enough, it came. β
Yang Ji smiled slightly, and immediately walked up quickly: "This senior brother, please wait." β
"Oh?"
This Iron Crown Sect disciple stopped and looked at Yang Ji with a surprised expression.
Yang Ji smiled and said, "Senior brother, are you going to the back mountain to deliver food to that gatekeeper senior?"
"Exactly. What's the matter?"
This disciple of the Iron Crown Sect said, looking puzzled.
"I'm about to go to the cave in the back mountain. Anyway, by the way, senior brother might as well leave it to me. I'll just give the food to the senior for you. β
Yang Jidao.
"This ...... Then it's troublesome for the junior brother. β
This Iron Crown Sect disciple thought about it, it wasn't a big deal anyway. There was no refusal.
Yang Ji smiled, took the food box, and then Shi Shiran went to the back mountain.
With the cover of this food box, Yang Ji is not afraid of being discovered.
......
The mountain behind the Iron Crown Sect is cold and windy. The north wind was blowing, and even the stone walls were shaking.
Yang Ji walked over with the food box on his shoulder, and at a glance he saw the "gatekeeper" in blue clothes, with his eyebrows hanging and his eyes closed. Leaning diagonally against the stone wall, it seems that the whole person is squeezed into the stone wall.
He just leaned there and didn't move. It's as if it will never move.
The cold wind blew, and the clothes on the gatekeepers danced in pieces, revealing a cold smell. If you just look at this scene, you will probably think that this is a lonely beggar.
But Yang Jiqing knew that the gatekeeper in front of him was likely to be much more powerful than most sect elders.
"Humph!"
Yang Ji sneered and strode over. With a bang, the food box was placed in front of the "gatekeeper":
"Senior, I'm here to deliver you food. β
Speaking of the words "delivering food", Yang Ji accentuated his voice.
"I thought you'd be late to come. If you can think of pretending to be a disciple of the gang, you can be regarded as a little smart. It's not in vain that I chose you in the first place. β
The "gatekeeper" remained motionless. didn't even open his eyes, as if he had expected Yang Ji to come up.
"Hmph, senior, thank you so much for looking down on me so much. β
Yang Ji honestly and unceremoniously sat down in front of the "gatekeeper", and said sarcastically:
"But I'm really sorry. Two Xiao Zhou Tian's powerhouses, a magic weapon that can kill people in the air,...... Senior, you really look down on me. I don't think you're trying to make a deal with me, you're trying to send me to death. - I now understand why you haven't found anyone else for so long. β
Yang Ji vented the dissatisfaction in his heart. For this so-called transaction of the "gatekeeper", he died nine times and almost died there.
"Genki Grass" is really good.
But just for a "vitality grass" that can open up the acupoints, you have to put your own life into it, which is the real "picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons", and the gains outweigh the losses.
ββWith all his lives gone, what's the use of the Vitality Grass?
What's more, it's just a prelude. It's still far from the "obsidian" that the "gatekeeper" said. Just a prelude is already like this, and Yang Ji is almost certain that there is a greater danger waiting for him ahead.
This gatekeeper's stuff is definitely not that easy to take!
What's more, with his cultivation, even if he could feel the position of those two evil path masters, he would definitely know their strength.
With his ability, he wouldn't know what would happen to the evil masters who hunted down and killed those two "Little Zhou Tian". But he didn't even mention it, so he let Yang Ji go.
This is what makes Yang Ji the most angry.
"You came back alive in the end, and you got the boat. That's the most important thing. Isn't it?"
The "gatekeeper" finally opened his eyes, looked at Yang Ji and smiled faintly, as if Yang Ji was just talking about some inconsequential trivial matter. (To be continued......)
