80. He can't afford it
Although this elixir has never been used in the past so many years, it is obvious that the effect of the medicine has not disappeared.
Seeing that he only lasted three breaths, Bai Shuang fell to the ground with a thud, already asleep.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, picked up Bai Shuangjian and put it on the stone table in the courtyard, and then sent a transmission paper crane to Lu Ren and Zhang Fang respectively, asking them to come to the courtyard here to discuss the matter of creating a spiritual root out of nothing.
While waiting, he asked Ren Qi to rehearse the basic thirteen swordsmanship techniques and inspect her cultivation progress.
When Ren Qi practiced the ninth move, "stirring", Lu Ren arrived first.
Tianlei Peak was not very far from Huang Lei Peak, and Lu Ren had become a cultivator in the Divine Stage, and he rushed over faster than Zhang Fang, who lived nearby.
Lu Ren came directly and landed in the courtyard.
When he saw Ren Qi, although his face still showed obsession for a moment, he quickly regained his senses.
It seems that he has developed immunity to Ren Qi's beauty.
"Senior Brother Lu, do you know about Zhao Fu and the Hall Master of the Outer Medicine Hall using unknown pills to make those miscellaneous disciples break through?" Lin Xuanzhen asked directly.
Lu Ren's unreliability in some things has greatly exceeded her expectations, so her tone is not very gentle.
"There is such a thing?!" Lu Ren was surprised.
It is no wonder that in recent years, the number of promotions and breakthroughs of outer disciples has increased greatly, and the expenditure of outer doors has also increased, and he thought that it was because of the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in the cultivation realm.
Someone is doing something!
"The disciple didn't know about it before, and he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly when he goes back later. Lu Ren hurriedly said, but he was puzzled in his heart, it was just such a trivial matter, why did he call him here, a transmission note can explain things clearly.
As if he knew what he was thinking, he only heard the senior sister say solemnly: "You investigate this matter secretly." Make a list of those disciples, check them one by one for sequelae, and transfer them from key positions in the sect to the top. And one more thingβ"
At this moment, there was a knock on the wooden door of the compound.
"Senior Sister Ren, I'm Zhang Fang, and I received the sound transmission paper crane from Senior Sister Lin. β
Ren Qi had already collected the sword when Lu Ren fell into the courtyard, and at this time, only she was the lowest cultivator and the youngest in the audience, so she naturally took over the matter of opening the door.
"Senior Brother Lu, you will call me Xuan Zhen later, only Ren Qi among the new disciples knows my true identity, don't leak it. "To be on the safe side, Lin Xuanzhen sent a message to Lu Ren and instructed.
She didn't want to reveal her identity so early, at least when she was sure that Zhang Fang was capable of being the leader, she would let him know.
Lu Ren probably understood Senior Sister's concerns and responded simply.
Ren Qi opened the courtyard door, but saw that there were two people coming, except for Zhang Fang, the other person also came over.
It was the young city lord of Yunhe City in Southwest Prefecture who ran away from home to enter Tianlei Gate in order to save his hair - Qiu Zhengyang.
Now he is in the early stage of foundation building, and he is on par with Ren Qi.
He was the first of this class of disciples to induce qi into the body, and the foundation was also built one day earlier than Ren Qi.
When Zhang Fang received the Chuanyin paper crane, Qiu Zhengyang also happened to be practicing swords in the courtyard.
He followed Zhang Fang without saying a word, and no matter how Zhang Fang persuaded him, he didn't hear it.
"Senior Sister Lin!" Qiu Zhengyang didn't say hello to Ren Qi, so he went straight to Lin Xuanzhen, only to find that there was another person in the courtyard, "Master Lu." β
Lu Ren nodded casually, but also looked at Lin Xuanzhen, waiting for her to continue to explain another important matter clearly.
"Senior Brother Qiu, I only called Zhang Fang, what are you doing here?"
"......" Qiu Zhengyang felt his senior sister's ignorance of him and was a little depressed.
But soon he didn't know what to think, and raised his head and said arrogantly: "Zhang Fang is covered by me, and my senior sister looking for him is equivalent to looking for me." Or is it that my sister can't trust me?"
Zhang Fang confessed for him: "Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Qiu didn't listen to persuasion, he insisted on coming along, and I couldn't beat him, so I had to follow him." β
This is just a trivial matter, Lin Xuanzhen nodded indispensably, indicating that it doesn't matter.
She glanced at Zhang Fang twice again, confirming that he had returned to the innate after tomorrow, as for the words that couldn't beat Qiu Zhengyang, seeing that the two of them were neatly dressed and their hair was not messy, it was obvious that they had never fought.
She didn't take Zhang Fang's defeat of Qiu Zhengyang seriously at all.
In the early stage of physical cultivation, he was like a top master in martial arts, flying flowers and picking leaves hurt people invisibly; although Qiu Zhengyang had superb swordsmanship and a strong physique, he really fought, and the winner or loser was undecided.
Zhang Fang was subconsciously taking care of Qiu Zhengyang.
However, this kind of character of knowing gratitude and reciting old feelings is exactly what she values.
"It doesn't matter. I called you here to pass the word on behalf of the master. After Lin Xuanzhen finished speaking, he sent a message to Ren Qi and asked her to take Qiu Zhengyang away.
Ren Qi therefore intuitively felt Qiu Zhengyang's redundancy, and said: "Senior Brother Qiu, I always feel a little sluggish when I practice a few sword moves, please advise." β
And in order to maintain a good image in front of Senior Sister Lin, Qiu Zhengyang responded even if he was unwilling, and followed Ren Qi to a corner a little farther away.
Seeing that the two of them had gone farther, Lin Xuanzhen sent a message to Lu Ren again: "Senior Brother Lu, this Fang is the seed of the head of the family that I fancie, with a gentle and pure personality and a generous personality, you will take him into the door and teach him on your behalf until you are competent in the affairs of the head of the family." β
"But he seems to be an individual cultivator?" Lu Ren asked himself that his opinion on the matter of refining the body was very shallow, far from the level of being able to accept disciples.
And Zhang Fang will be the head of the house in the future, if he points out the wrong point, he can't afford this responsibility.
Since his cultivation declined, his state of mind seems to have been affected, although he does not feel sorry for himself or regret not being at the beginning, but he always subconsciously thinks that he is doing more and making more mistakes, and he has become much more cautious than before.
"The exercises he cultivated were left by my fifth senior brother, so you can guide him in matters other than cultivation with peace of mind. It would be best if the inauguration ceremony could be held by the way after the Eight Great Sects United Great Competition. β
This year's Eight Great Sects Joint Contest happens to be held in Tianlei Gate, and if you take this opportunity to do the inauguration ceremony by the way, you can save a lot of things.
When Lu Ren heard this, he asked directly: "You are Zhang Fang, the seed of the head of the family hand-picked by the senior sister?"
"The disciple is none other than Zhang Fang. Zhang Fang was a little nervous, and for Lu Shizu's last sentence, yes or no, should not be.
"In the future, you can follow me to learn to take charge of the affairs of the sect! I believe in Senior Sister's vision, you must not live up to her trust. Lu Ren said, and glanced at Lin Xuanzhen, with a hint of imperceptible flattery.
Zhang Fang understood the meaning of Lu Ren's words, and happily promised: "The disciple will definitely do his best to live up to the trust!"
Lu Ren nodded, and looked at Lin Xuanzhen inquiringly, is this a direct takeaway, or a apprenticeship process?
