Chapter 63 The Ritual of Apprenticeship

Long Xiaofeng saw that Shangguan Yuling was not angry, and his heart felt a little relaxed, and while he felt sorry for his frivolity and boredom, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, only feeling that Shangguan Yuling's smile was really indescribably charming and moving, and he naturally had a sense of closeness to her, as for whether this kind of closeness was in love, even he couldn't tell.

Long Xiaofeng came to the white-headed old man with the scroll, the old man glanced at the scroll in Long Xiaofeng's hand, his expression showed a hint of surprise, and he said disapprerovingly: "Young man, no one has ever learned this shadowless palm for more than a hundred years, are you sure you want to learn this technique?" Long Xiaofeng nodded happily. The white-headed old man glanced at Long Xiaofeng again, shook his head and said, "Since you want to learn, then take it, but if you can't learn the exercises above, then you will have to wait a year before you can come here again and exchange for new exercises, but you have to think clearly." Long Xiaofeng smiled and nodded without hesitation, and walked out of Tianxin Pavilion with the scroll.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold of Tianxin Pavilion, Long Xiaofeng saw two people walking towards him, it was Lin Rong and Lin Xue sisters. Lin Rong was stunned at first when she saw Long Xiaofeng, and then her face showed anger and disdain, but Lin Xue was silent. Long Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he met the two of them. If it were someone else, he would naturally pretend not to see it and avoid it from afar, but when Long Xiaofeng saw Lin Rong's face, not only did he not avoid it, but he couldn't help but deliberately step forward to provoke him, and said with a hippie smile: "Sister Rong, this time the promotion of the inner disciple is smooth enough, right?" Lin Rong glared at Long Xiaofeng and said angrily: "Who is your Sister Rong, keep your mouth clean!"

Long Xiaofeng deliberately made a stunned expression on his face, and said with a smile: "What? You don't recognize me as a brother?" Lin Rong glanced at Long Xiaofeng, with a look of disdain on her face, and snorted: "You are also worthy, shameless!" Long Xiaofeng felt slightly angry in his heart, but his face smiled even more happily, and said: "I, Long Xiaofeng, didn't know what shame was three years ago, and it is difficult for Sister Rong to remind me here, I can only be grateful." Lin Xue frowned and said: "Young Master Long, you were quite regular in your words and actions back then, where did you learn to be so light-mouthed and thin-tongued?" Long Xiaofeng laughed and said: "I have been a cheap man for the rest of my life after the Dragon Xiaofeng catastrophe, and I have never planned to be a righteous gentleman in this life, what? Long Xiaofeng sneered: "I don't have self-respect in that sentence, and I still ask Miss Lin for advice." ”

Lin Xue's face was as calm as water, and she said lightly: "My sister offended you just now, please don't be surprised!" Long Xiaofeng was slightly stunned, seeing that Lin Xue always spoke calmly and elegantly, but she was gentle and polite, but she felt a little difficult to deal with, so she smiled faintly and said: "Today, I Long Xiaofeng doesn't know the severity, blasphemy disturbs the two of you, don't leave it at that." With that, he turned and left.

Long Xiaofeng felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, although he didn't care about Lin Rong and Lin Xue's prejudice against him, he still couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. Walking to the edge of a mountain cliff, Long Xiaofeng looked at the messy clouds and mist in front of him, and his mood suddenly became confused.

"Now that I have obtained the status of an inner disciple, what am I still doing here?, can it be that those immortal venerables of the Lingzun Immortal Courtyard also know that I, Long Xiaofeng, was the unscrupulous descendant of the Linglong clan back then, and knelt down three times and bowed in their disdainful eyes, begging them to include themselves in the door. Thinking of this, Long Xiaofeng shook his head with a wry smile, "For so many years, I have always struggled to survive alone, cultivated alone, and stumbled all the way. The only thing I have to do right now is to get the blood of the beast soul so that I can complete the family's ancestor worship ceremony, this is the right thing!" Long Xiaofeng thought of this, urging the spiritual energy in his body to vortex, and his body floated steeply, sweeping towards the bottom of the mountain like a gust of wind.

Long Xiaofeng returned to Qianlong Palace, and Taibo and Long Jin saw each other and looked very happy. Long Jin said: "Patriarch, I heard that the disciples who participated in the inner gate assessment this time, without exception, all passed the assessment successfully, is this true?" Long Xiaofeng said: "Yes, of course it's true." Long Jin rubbed his hands and said, "This is a great event that is rare in a hundred years, patriarch, should we celebrate?" Long Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "This is nothing to celebrate, the annual ancestor worship ceremony is coming soon, Zhang Luo's matter is important." Long Jin nodded yes.

Long Xiaofeng glanced at Long Jin, and said, "I have another thing that I need you to do right now, you can come with me." Long Xiaofeng led Long Jin to the quiet room where he usually practiced, picked up a pen and wrote more than a dozen medicinal materials on a piece of paper, handed them to Long Jin, and said, "I urgently need these medicinal materials now, you go and buy them, and be sure to have all the medicinal materials in place within two days." Long Jin nodded and turned to go.

The next day, just after dawn, the purple glow hall of Taihua Mountain, under the illumination of the red sun, the whole hall is like a layer of faint smoke, showing a bright and magnificent scene that is pleasing to the eye. The selected inner disciples were arranged in two rows and stood in the hall to prepare for the worship ceremony. The five white-robed old men sat on the five Taishi chairs, their expressions solemn and solemn, they were the five immortals of the Lingzun Immortal Academy. The one sitting in the middle was the oldest, with gray hair and a jade name. The two immortal venerables sitting on the right side of the jade are tall and short, and they are the two immortal venerables who will be selected for the selection of all the inner disciples that day, the tall Dao number Yuyinzi, and the short Dao number Yuxuanzi. The two on the left side of the jade are much younger, a man and a woman, the male is called Yu Lingzi, with a white beard on his face, and his appearance is quite powerful, and the other is a Taoist aunt, about fifty years old, and the Taoist name is Yu Yaozi.

Shangguan Yuling and Shangguan Yuying stood on the right side, and the two kept looking around, but they couldn't find Long Xiaofeng's figure, and they were secretly strange in their hearts. At this time, Yu Jizi said: "Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Tan, how did you include so many inner disciples this time, did these disciples all pass through the Heavenly Machine Xuan Array?" It will take time to restore the original situation, so I took it upon myself to include all my disciples as inner disciples. ”

Jade Jizi said: "What about the demonic beasts raised in the array?" Jade Xuanzi said: "Senior Brother Tan and I are afraid that these demonic beasts will hurt people's lives, and we have killed them all. Yu Jizi nodded and said: "Since Tianxuanzi founded this formation, it has been more than one hundred and twenty years, and it has always been a customs clearance array for inner disciples. Yu Xuanzi said: "Senior brother, in the past one hundred and twenty years, there have been few disciples in my Lingzun Immortal Academy, not only the number of true disciples is limited, but even the inner disciples are also pitiful, and the reason for this is that they are all blocked out of the door by this array. Today's destruction is not a blessing for my Lingzun Immortal Temple. ”

Yu Jizi smiled and said: "After recruiting so many inner disciples this time, it seems that the five of us will have no time to relax in the future, so it's okay, two years later, at the Immortal Academy, we don't have to worry about being lightened by other immortal courtyards because of the scarcity of disciples." Yu Xuanzi said with a smile: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true, there are a total of forty inner disciples this time, and all of them have been recruited here, this is the roster, please take a look at Senior Brother." As he spoke, he handed over a booklet.

Yu Jizi glanced at all the inner disciples and said, "The inner disciples of my Lingzun Immortal Academy have always been cultivating under the guidance of Immortal Venerable, of course, there is another kind of casual cultivation, have any of you chosen to cultivate casually?" Yu Jizi heard this and said with a smile: "It's a lot, it's okay like this, just let these seven female disciples worship under Senior Sister Yu Yaozi." The rest of the male disciples will be divided by the four of us. ”

Shangguan Yuling saw that Long Xiaofeng never showed up, and couldn't help but secretly worry about him. She thought that Long Xiaofeng was trying to refine the pill for her, so she didn't come for a long time, knowing that if Long Xiaofeng couldn't arrive before the end of the apprenticeship ceremony, he was destined to have to do casual cultivation. Shangguan Yuling really wanted to worship under the same division as Long Xiaofeng, but at this moment, seeing that he was under the Yuyaozi sect, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and couldn't help but say, "The disciple has something to say." ”

As soon as Shangguan Yuling's words came out, everyone was stunned, and the faces of the five immortal venerables changed color suddenly, and they turned their gaze to Shangguan Yuling together. Yu Xuanzi said with a solemn face: "Girl, what do you want to say?" Shangguan Yuling smiled and said: "As inner disciples, do we have the right to choose our own master?"

Shangguan Yuling saw that the expressions on the faces of the other four Immortal Venerables were not very annoyed except for surprise, and a pounding heart calmed down slightly, and smiled gently. Yu Jizi said with a smile: "Girl, what is your name, which of the five of us do you want to choose to recognize the master?" Shangguan Yuling said boldly: "Which of the five of you has the highest cultivation?" Yu Jizi smiled and said: "We have not fought for almost 20 years, whose cultivation is the strongest, even we don't know, what? Do you want us to let a few bad old men end up and compete?"

Shangguan Yuling clapped his hands and said happily: "Okay! If you can compete, it will be no better, we are just trying to open our eyes." As soon as the words fell, Yu Xuanzi got up and shouted: "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will immediately expel you from this Lingzun Immortal Courtyard." Shangguan Yuling was taken aback when he saw that Yu Xuanzi was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Yu Jizi and the other four people couldn't help but laugh when they saw Shangguan Yuling's innocent and stubborn words, and Yu Lingzi laughed even more.

Shangguan Yuling pursed his lips, glanced at the jade and said, "Hmph, it's not fun at all to be so fierce." Seeing Shangguan Yuling's contemptuous look, Yu Xuanzi was extremely angry in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, and his face suddenly turned red. Yu Yaozi smiled and said: "This girl is not small, since the establishment of the Lingzun Immortal Academy, I have never seen any inner disciple dare to contradict the Immortal Venerable." ”

At this time, Yu Xuanzi suddenly stood up, bowed to Jade Jiezi and said, "Senior brother, I was careless in recruiting inner disciples this time, and I really failed to perform my duties, and I ask Senior Brother to punish me." Yu Jizi twisted his beard and smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, why do you want to be serious with a young disciple, I think this girl is good, her personality is straightforward and unscrupulous, but she is a person in temperament." Yu Yaozi smiled and said, "Since the senior brother thinks this girl is good, how about asking the senior brother to include the disciples?"

Yu Jizi said: "Senior sister said that she laughed, let this flower-like and delicate girl accompany my bad old man, wouldn't it make her depressed, in my opinion, it is only right to let her follow you." ”
