............

The warm sunlight shines through the curtains of hollowed-out fine flowers, like a hazy mist composed of green and yellow, jet black, dispelling the last touch of coolness in the middle of the night, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold morning.

"Xiao Lingyun, today's palace night banquet envoys from various countries, you must get out of the customs!"

Feng Yu played with the newly acquired pu fan in his hand, walked to the room carefully arranged by the spiritual power barrier, knocked on the door with a happy face, and called Zhang Lingyun, who had been in retreat for half a year.

Since he was sent to the capital by Yue Shengying to temporarily live in this Anhua Temple, he has been surrounded by monks who live a dull life, and immortal cultivators who will slay demons and eliminate demons all day long.

Fortunately, Feng Yu's meandering vulture cultivation is profound, and the transformation technique is even more superb, which cannot be refuted, otherwise if any party discovers his identity, I am afraid that it will have already caused people to turn over and cannot be tolerated.

Even if the problem of identity is solved, this monotonous and boring life is unbearable, if it weren't for Zhang Lingshuang giving birth to a petite and cute doll to tease, the phoenix feather meandering vulture would have been moldy and withered and grow mushrooms!

"Master, someone is looking for you outside, saying that there is a night banquet today!"

When You Fang heard the familiar sound coming from the outside world, he immediately put away the lore circle left by the crazy real person, and hurried to the training venue used by Zhang Lingyun.

"Time flies...... It's been half a year, you've worked hard all this time, You Fang!"

Zhang Lingyun, who slowly converged on the fluctuations of his spiritual power, concentrated and calmed his mind to extract his spiritual consciousness from the incarnation of the primordial god, like an entity-like incarnation of the primordial god, and disappeared into the depths of the sea of consciousness space in an instant.

After thanking You Fang, Zhang Lingyun glanced at Chiyan, who was still in a comatose state, and was a little reluctant to leave this safe and comfortable environment, ready to face the unsearchable future.

Zhang Lingyun, who regained control of his body, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, converging the spiritual sense and spiritual power output released, and slowly stretched his limbs that had not moved for more than a month.

"Hey, look, look, our eldest girl is finally willing to go out!"

Feeling that the spiritual power barrier in front of him had finally slowly disappeared, Feng Yu meandered through the door without seeing it, ready to have a good chat with him about the interesting gossip during this time.

found that Zhang Lingyun's exposed arms due to the slipping of his sleeves were fairer and more delicate than his own skin, and he couldn't help but pouted arrogantly and teased.

"It's only been a long time, Feng Yu is really getting more and more girlish!"

Seeing Feng Yu meandering in a plain Taoist uniform of the Taiping Palace, although he was still as big as before, his temperament became more and more restrained and subtle, and Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt a sense of relief like a parent.

"Today is an important day, I don't have time to be poor with you here, go to your master's place to report!"

Listening to Zhang Lingyun's words, Feng Yu's intention to reminisce about the past was instantly extinguished, and he was ready to let Zhang Lingyun feel the feeling of being ignored.

After the phoenix feather convure rolled her eyes impatiently, she strode away first, leaving Zhang Lingyun in a daze in the room with a questioning face.

Thinking of attending the night banquet held by the palace in the evening, Zhang Lingyun obediently took a bath in water, and when he was clean up, Zhang Lingyun still did not feel at ease to perform the dust purification technique.

It wasn't until he touched his incomparably smooth hair and smoothed it to the placket without a trace of wrinkles, that he slowly went out to visit his master and listen to the training.

"It's just a study of magic, and it's like someone wants to steal his skills, and this cultivation hasn't grown by half a point!"

Feeling a faint fluctuation of spiritual power approaching, the three elders deliberately raised their voices to arrange sarcasm for Zhang Lingyun, completely ignoring the hints of the five elders squeezing their eyebrows.

In order to face the Battle of the Forbidden City, as early as two years ago, when he first learned the news of the competition, the Heavenly Master of the Sect of Charge screened all the disciples in a centralized manner, and the three elders and the Sect Leader himself supervised their cultivation.

Due to the limited energy of several people, and Zhang Lingyun's cultivation was already destined for his indispensable position, everyone finally selected four disciples who were good in both cultivation realms, and their whereabouts were determined by drawing lots.

Sect Leader Zhang Shanxing drew the disciple with the worst cultivation realm...... Zhang Lingfeng, the second elder Zhang Shanyuan drew the eldest disciple who was good at physical arts...... Zhang Lingxiao, the fifth elder Zhang Shanyi drew the only female disciple of the Taiping Palace...... Zhang Lingshuang.

The third elder, Zhang Shanyuan, was drawn to the recognized lottery, and the entire Taiping Palace cultivated as a disciple with a good realm...... Zhang Lingyu.

At that time, Zhang Lingyun, whose cultivation realm was beyond everyone's imagination, was allowed to go down the mountain alone for a high-sounding reason because of his playful personality as a child and the relationship between him and the divine dragon in his body.

After half a year of careful teaching, the three elders consciously taught Zhang Lingyu by themselves, and in terms of spells and swordsmanship alone, he could definitely abuse Zhang Lingyun, who was free-range at will, so he showed off his arrogance.

"Everyone has arrived, just ask him directly if you have something!"

Although the second elder had long been dissatisfied with the corners of his junior brother's mouth, he didn't want to do it before the war, because this trivial matter affected the harmony and concern of everyone in the division.

I don't want to let the third junior brother's stinky mouth cool the heart of the highest disciple in the 'Zhengyi Sect', affect the upcoming Forbidden Battle, and directly speak out to prevent it from continuing.

"Disciple Zhang Lingyun, meet the master in charge, uncles!"

Zhang Lingyun was already accustomed to the three elders' brainless way of speaking, as long as he didn't give him direct harm, it was just a breeze.

"Master and nephew, hurry up, it's very hard to cultivate all day during this time, it's a pity that your spell cultivation is not solid, no matter how hard you try, I'm afraid you can only draw red runes!"

The three elders, who felt that they were being ignored by everyone, in order to reflect their sense of existence, directly got up and helped Zhang Lingyun, who was kneeling down, and asked about the results of his retreat cultivation in the name of concern.

"The disciple is stupid, and he knows that his current cultivation depends on the preference of the master and the elders, so he naturally does not dare to slack off, and he tries his best to catch up with the footsteps of the senior brother by making up for his clumsiness!"

Although he didn't know where the smell of gunpowder came from, in order to make his ears cleaner, Zhang Lingyun still showed a humble appearance to muddy the water.

"Okay, Ling Yun doesn't have to be too nervous, now draw a red talisman for everyone to see!"

As the leader of the entire sect, although he also has his own preferences and preferences, he is faced with major issues of right and wrong.

Especially at the critical moment when he is about to participate in the Battle of the Forbidden City, the Heavenly Master will still try his best to balance the relationship between everyone.

"Obey the teacher's orders!"

Zhang Lingyun, who had always kept his head down, raised his eyes slightly and glanced around, but did not find the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared for him, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he began to think about the intention of the master in his heart.

Although he can already draw red talismans in the void, this is also a method that has been explored in tens of thousands of failed experiments in the sea of knowledge space in the past half a year, how does the master know about it?

"Don't panic, junior nephew, draw the red rune to see how well you can control your spiritual power, Ling Feng and they have also shown it!"

The three elders are very confident in their teaching methods, but unfortunately the competition is imminent, and they can't pull a few juniors to compete.

I can only use this untaught disciple to express my own method of teaching after his imperfect demonstration!

"The disciple is ugly!"

Hearing that Zhang Lingfeng could actually draw talismans in the void, Zhang Lingyun felt indescribable in his heart, he was not only happy that the cultivation of his fellow disciples and brothers had progressed, but he was also a little disappointed, he was no longer that special existence.

After a short period of entanglement, Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath and decided to complete the master's explanation first, and suddenly used the spiritual power of his body to gather on his arm, and raised his hand to draw a red-level talisman in the void.

Due to the very weak fluctuations of the aura in the real space, which was completely different from the pure and rich environment in the Zhihai space, Zhang Lingyun's entire spell casting process seemed to be very slow.

As Zhang Lingyun's body fluctuated with rich spiritual power, all the elders showed shocked expressions, and the three elders opened their mouths in shock, with a look of disbelief.

"Master, elders, please check the talisman!"

Zhang Lingyun, who had successfully drawn the talisman, let out a breath and slowly released a touch of spiritual sense to drive the talisman towards everyone.

Looking at the embarrassed and tangled expressions of several people, Zhang Lingyun subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with the talisman drawing, and his little heart couldn't help but mention that his throat and eyes were beating wildly.

At this time, Zhang Lingyun's brain began to spin rapidly, how to avoid the fate of being scolded, just when he was at a loss, the attitude of the master made Zhang Lingyun fall into confusion.

"This ...... , this really contains the spiritual power of the red rune level!"

The Heavenly Master of the Sect released a wisp of spiritual consciousness that poured into the talisman in front of him, feeling the fluctuation of the condensed and pure spiritual power, and was so excited that he even spoke with a slight trill.

"No way, how is this possible!? He's just a teenager in his twenties!"

I wanted to use this bastard boy who had not been specially taught and relied on demon beasts to improve his cultivation to understand the many benefits of formal cultivation, but he didn't want to let him give everyone a resounding slap in the face!

The third elder looked at the senior brother's relieved expression, and everyone was also ecstatic, but they still didn't want to accept this frustrating reality.

After all, he had not achieved such an achievement when he was young, and the third elder sat down in his chair with a decadent face, and fell into deep thought.

"Ling Yun, the safety of our 'Zhengyi Sect' in this competition depends on you!"

Although the five elders were shocked by Zhang Lingyun's advanced cultivation realm, they were also overjoyed that everyone had more protection to live, and the smile on their faces was extremely warm and sincere.

"There is also a palace banquet in the evening, Ling Yun will go and change into the clothes sent from the palace first!"

The second elder, who had not spoken for a long time, slowly came to Zhang Lingyun, patted the other party's shoulder with expectation, to show his recognition of him, and motioned for Zhang Lingyun to leave first.

"Sect Leader Heavenly Master, is this contract beast really so magical?"

Looking at Zhang Lingyun's distant back, the three elders could no longer suppress the doubts in their hearts, and expressed their doubts with a little anxiety. All right

"I don't know about this, but the great powers of the ancient times were accompanied by contract beasts, but after the passage to the Three Realms was closed, this matter gradually faded out of people's cognition!"

The Celestial Master took a deep breath and truthfully told the documents he had seen in ancient books, and then released a wisp of spiritual sense to smash the amulet in front of him into the wall, so as not to accidentally injure others.

"Senior brother, you can't mention this matter again in the future, you must know how strong the resistance of the immortal cultivation world is to demon beasts!"

The second elder's eyes showed the same indifferent demeanor as always, which instantly quieted down the third elder who wanted to argue, and sat down to drink tea with great interest.

............

"Hey, what is this stinky face, come and take a look at this dress for the banquet!"

Watching Zhang Lingyun, who was full of gloomy face, walk through the arch of the courtyard, Feng Yu put down the pastry in his hand, ran to the other party quickly, and pointed to the bedroom with a smile on his face.

"Just now, I went to see the master and drew the talisman according to their requirements, but the attitude of the people was ...... ，”

Zhang Lingyun depicted the whole process vividly, and wanted Feng Yu to help him analyze the crux of the problem, but looking at the silly bird's increasingly uncontrollable smile, Zhang Lingyun became even more confused.

"Originally, when you first woke up, you wanted to tell you about the current situation in the sect, who asked you to tease me, you deserve it!"

The phoenix feather conduit looked up at the arrogant state of the void's face, and took out a delicate mirror full of gems to admire her beautiful face.

"Alas, the most beautiful and moving phoenix feather meandering vulture in the world, you adults don't remember villains, don't see it like me, a hairy child!"

While Zhang Lingyun said flattering words against his will, he walked to the table and obediently poured a cup of tea and handed it over to distract the other party.

When the phoenix feather convure was about to take over, Zhang Lingyun suddenly pulled out the very smooth mirror in the stupid bird's hand, looked at it repeatedly, and couldn't help but show his appreciation.

"I like this thing, I'll give it to you! Anyway, I want someone to send it at any time!"

"Hey...... it's only been half a year, Feng Yu, you've found a good son-in-law who has been with you for a lifetime?"

Looking at the phoenix feather vulture that was searching on weekdays, with such an indifferent look, Zhang Lingyun immediately showed a look of surprise, and directly said the first thought that came to mind.

"What do you think! This is the latest sale of the 'Yunfeng Boudoir Fang', the first four of them to honor their sister!"

Feng Yu Condor pretended to be unstable under his feet and fell towards Zhang Lingyun, and when the other party opened his arms to support him, Feng Yu Condor turned his body with a false move, and while taking back the mirror, he quickly broke away from Zhang Lingyun's side.

Since the famous 'Yunfeng Boudoir Fang' was stationed in the capital more than a month ago, all the ladies of the wealthy families in Sijiu City have squeezed their heads to exchange for a novelty object there.

Attracted by its fame, the phoenix feather consuld entered the unique shop for the first time, and was instantly attracted by the various self-defense weapons in it, and even spent a lot of money to buy a collection.

It wasn't until a few days ago, when Jia Si and the others entered the capital one after another to find themselves, that Feng Yu, who had almost bottomed out of his purse, knew that the real shopkeeper behind the store that made him spend a lot of money was actually his own person!

"Poisonous centipede, thousand-faced sand cat, they are also coming to the capital?"

Hearing the news of his former partner, Zhang Lingyun couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and stared at the phoenix feather vulture with a smile on his face.

After the other party agreed and nodded with a smile on his face, Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt a sense of fullness that his empty chest was instantly filled, as if they were the people closest to him.

"There's still time to see them, the carriage is ready, I'll tell you about the interesting stories of your uncles on the way,"

Feng Yu was infected by Zhang Lingyun's heartfelt smile, and immediately pulled the young man in front of him to run out, thinking in his heart how to take advantage of this opportunity to get more treasures from Jia Si.

Listening to Feng Yu Winding Eagle tell the interesting stories that happened when the master and the three uncles taught the disciples, and the troubles that they secretly compared with each other, the smile on Zhang Lingyun's face gradually disappeared, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart.

Obviously, they are all disciples who are about to participate in the Forbidden War, but the treatment they get is very different, just because they have been poisoned by Old Man Tang and obtained that bloodline that is invincible.

Everyone avoided Zhang Lingyun like a fierce beast, and finally returned to the mountain gate, and was compared by the three elders as a comparison and showing off, which really made people's hearts feel sad.

If it weren't for the fact that I had this group of partners who accompanied me in life and death, and those magical circumstances endowed by heaven and earth, I am afraid that this experience of going down the mountain would have already exposed the wilderness!

"What do you want?

Feng Yu, who had already jumped out of the carriage, looked at Zhang Lingyun, whose face was full of gloom, as if someone owed money and didn't pay it back, waved his hand and snapped his fingers in his ear, successfully waking people up.

"This ...... 'Yunfeng Boudoir', was opened by them in Jiasi?"

Looking at the three-story shop with blue bricks and green tiles that looked like a palace, Zhang Lingyun's face was full of doubt and disbelief.

Until Feng Yu meandered and pulled him, and no one went up to the third-floor VIP room, Zhang Lingyun was still in a state of blindfold and couldn't come back to his senses.

In Zhang Lingyun's impression, Jia Si is a very smart person, although he has some of his own careful thoughts in business, but he didn't expect him to really succeed and achieve such a scale in just half a year.

"Your Excellency, are you here?"

Jia Si, who had patrolled here, heard that the vampire leech of the Phoenix Feather Winding Vulture had arrived, and immediately disguised his body and hid out, preparing to let the Thousand-faced Sand Cat deal with her.

But at the corner of the store, he found the carriage specially responsible for welcoming Zhang Lingyun, and Jia Si immediately turned around and rushed back to the store, and ran all the way to the third floor under the guidance of the attendants.

"A4, this time...... Thank you!"

Looking at Jia Si who rushed in and was about to kneel, Zhang Lingyun's figure flashed and rushed up, holding Jia Si's hand tightly to help him up.

Looking at Jia Si's slightly tired expression, thinking of his hard work and hard work during this time, Zhang Lingyun suddenly took the person into his arms and patted his back to express his gratitude.

"My lord, our 'Yunfeng Dart Bureau' and 'Yunfeng Boudoir' have made a lot of profits during this time, this is the account book!"

"If you know it in your heart, tell me about your development history!"

Zhang Lingyun pushed the ledger back as usual, pulled Jia Si to the table and sat down, handed over a cup of tea with anticipation on his face, and was ready to listen to the story.

"This has to start with the thousand-faced sand cat...... ，”

Jia Si took a deep breath, forced the sense of joy at seeing Zhang Lingyun for the first time, and the great sense of trust shown by the other party, which moved him, and used a relatively calm tone to depict the past of meeting Qian Duoduo.

"Such a prodigy can be used by you, if you don't get rich, it will be intolerable!"

Zhang Lingyun no longer knows how to praise the talent and wisdom of Jia Si and others, at least let himself see such a strange little object, and he will not have a way to monopolize the market for marketing.

"I think I hear someone complimenting us!"

The thousand-faced sand cat who pushed the door in with light steps, and saw the gem mirror in the hand of the phoenix feather winding vulture, which was the high-end boutique lost two days ago.

Immediately flashed his body and rushed forward, wanting to regain some meaningless losses from this stupid bird who never worked and only knew how to exploit a few people.

"Young master, it's been a long time!"

The poisonous centipede grabbed Zhang Lingyun, who wanted to be nosy, and motioned him not to hinder the two women from exchanging feelings, and took the person to another room with Jia Si.

Talking about what the phoenix feather and vulture had done during this time, and the difficult behavior of the thousand-faced sand cat to protect the store, it was not until Zhang Lingyun waved his hand again and again to signal that he knew everything, and the poisonous flame centipede stopped narrating his complaints.

"You also know the temper of this stupid bird, hard work everyone!"

Zhang Lingyun understands everyone's helplessness, but the alliance contract he signed with the Phoenix Feather Vulture can be compared to the other party before his own cultivation is incomparable, as long as it is not a worry about hurting his life, the other party can have nothing to do with him.

The reason why the phoenix feather meandering vulture is willing to play with everyone like this, I think it is also because everyone is a real partner, after all, the phoenix feather condle is a divine beast, how can it let the thousand-faced sand cat sneak attack succeed at every turn!?

"My lord, although I don't know who sent this thing, it contains more comprehensive information than I have,"

Seeing that the time was approaching noon, thinking that Zhang Lingyun still needed to attend the palace dinner, Jia Si immediately took out a letter from the storage ring and handed it over.

"By the way, do you have any news of Xiaohuo?"

Looking at the list of countries participating in the Forbidden City, the number of participants sent by each country, and the faction of the main combatants in the team, Zhang Lingyun's first thought was the small fire backed by His Royal Highness Alison.

"It's been a long time since we heard from Xiaohuo, and Her Royal Highness the Princess's mansion is not very convenient!"

Since Her Royal Highness the princess traveled away with great fanfare, the dart masters sent by the Poison Flame Centipede to follow them have all been put down, and there has been no news of a small fire in this side for five months.

Although the poisonous flame centipede knew Zhang Lingyun's worries, but now that the game was imminent, he couldn't get out of the long way, if Zhang Lingyun was allowed to participate in the competition with a tie, it was better to use a white lie and let him devote himself to preparing for the battle first.

"Since it's his own choice, we should respect him, it's not too early, I'll come to see you in a few days,"

Knowing that this was not the information sent by Xiaohuo, Zhang Lingyun felt a trace of endless loneliness in his heart, but after thinking about it, Xiaohuo had become a high-flying horse.

It is normal to have a great future to win, and it is normal for people to have no time to care about such little people as themselves, and there is no need for me to be sad because of this.

Zhang Lingyun, who said goodbye to everyone and left alone, carefully studied the content of the information in the carriage, and found that at least thirty percent of the opponents had already fought with them, and the anxiety in his heart instantly eased a lot.
