Chapter 39: Year-end assessment

"It turns out that Senior Brother has been refining pills for me recently. Bai Qianqian took the jade bottle where the elixir was stored, and her gratitude flashed, she made a straight face and said duplicitously: "Hmph, who said that you want your elixir? You are really self-righteous! People who can't even protect themselves still want to care about others, stupid!"

Ying Siwei smiled and comforted Bai Qianqian: "Don't worry, senior sister, I have my own plans." The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, anyway, he, Elder Xiao, can't cover the sky in Lingxiao Pavilion with one hand, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, I already caused you a lot of trouble last time, senior sister, and I will solve that boring marriage contract for you. ”

"You're so young and frivolous, and if it were so easy, I wouldn't have to be so troubled. Bai Qianqian had an old-fashioned tone. "Do you know? Elder Xiao is the elder in charge of the Imperial Beast Hall, he is not small, and he is also a slave monk who can defeat a hundred, and there is a white crane and ten thousand beast kings. Even my father didn't dare to say that he could easily defeat him, let alone you? Besides, my marriage contract was not so easy to settle, and it was the descendants of the Marquis of the Nansheng Dynasty who proposed to me. The Liuhou Zhang family is one of the three heroes of Nanye, and is deeply valued by the monarch of the Nansheng Dynasty. You are only a disciple now, there is really no need to bear this pressure, I will work hard to fight with my father, and your senior brother Nie Qingheng, he promised me that if the competition for the blessed land of Jade Mountain was successful this time, he proposed the marriage between the two of us to the pavilion master, and dissolved the marriage contract with the descendants of the marquis. ”

"Jade Mountain Blessed Land? Could it be the legendary Jade Mountain Blessed Land of the Thirty-six Cave Heavens and one of the Seventy-two Blessed Lands?" Later, the two ancestors of the monks rebelled against the demon clan and broke the one hundred and eight Zhou Tian Xingchen array, which made the luck of the human race be released. Ying thought that it was just a legend, and even if it did, it would be destroyed with the changes of the times, but I didn't expect to hear the news today.

"Yes, exactly. Moreover, the news of the birth of the White Jade Cave this time was not concealed. Now, most of the nearby Demon Sects, Immortal Sects, and Martial Artist Gangs have been dispatched, all wanting a piece of the pie. However, there are still rules, all sects and sects send an elder and disciple to hold a competition, and the winner will be blessed. ”

........

A few days later.

The cold wind was howling, the sky was snowing lightly, and the pedestrians on the street were wrapped up in their clothes and walked briskly.

"Hahaha, you should think about it, your kid has done a good job recently, with your small discounts, now our store has been among the best in the entire sect, if not the first, it's almost the same. Tell me, how did you come up with these things?" In the Chen Mansion, Elder Chen and Ying Si sat opposite each other, two cups of steaming tea brewing on the table.

In the face of Elder Chen's inquiry, Ying Si only picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly: "Elder, my words are serious, my gift and discount are just strange tricks, but they can't be on the table, how can they be compared to the great wisdom of Elder?"

"Hahaha, you should think about Xiaoyou, you are too humble. If nothing else, just say that you have successfully facilitated the pill business, which is a great achievement. Now, with the elixir provided by Elder Sun, it is really a customer who has to step through the threshold. Otherwise, I think you're so good at dealing with customers, or you won't be out on a mission at the end of the year. How about staying in my shop and being a shopkeeper? Rest assured, the benefits are indispensable to you. Elder Chen looked at Ying Si with a smile, Ying Si Si contributed to the pill business, as well as the benefits brought to him through the new marketing strategy, which could already be called a daily profit, how could he not like it?

Ying didn't think about it, and refused: "I'm sorry, Elder, it's not that I don't want to agree." It's just that I really can't keep up my temperament, if I stay in the sect as a shopkeeper, I will be suffocated. However, please rest assured that you will do your part in the store. ”

Ying Si's words made Elder Chen very satisfied, although he had made himself unhappy before, but in front of the benefits that Ying Si brought him, he was not enough. Suddenly, Elder Chen thought of something and said, "By the way, I heard that you and Elder Xiao, who just came back recently, have some contradictions. Is there such a thing?

Ying Si scratched his head, and said with some grievances: "What Elder said is right, I do have some contradictions with Elder Xiao, but I am also very helpless! I escaped with my life, but Xiao Yeyun Dao was a little worse, and my body was gone, and I have always felt guilty. Elder Xiao was angry with me because of this, I can understand it, I don't blame him, it's normal for people. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so reasonable, very good. Don't worry, you are under me, I will naturally not let you suffer," Elder Chen patted his chest and swore a promise. "I'll intercede with Elder Xiao for you, you guys can be considered a misunderstanding, just talk clearly, there's no problem. ”

"If I can explain it to Elder Xiao, it is naturally very good, as Xiao Ye's friend, I don't want to be an enemy of his father. His long dark hair covered Ying Si's eyes, and he couldn't see what his expression was.

"Oh, by the way, this is Elder Sun's spirit stone division this month, so please take it back. Elder Chen took out a Tibetan ring and handed it to Ying Siliang, and the proceeds from the pill transaction were all transferred by Ying Siliang to Elder Sun. After all, both sides are in high positions and don't want to take risks. Although, the elixir had been sold for several months, and the Cloud Neutral Pavilion Master had not delved into this matter.

"Good. Ying Si said yes, he has made a lot of benefits in this transaction in the past few months. For some reasons, Elder Sun also handed over several high-level pills to himself, and it can be said that he has earned a lot of money.

Ying Si said goodbye to Elder Chen, braved the wind and snow that gradually began to fall, and strode towards the Dan Palace.

"Now that the year-end assessment is approaching, as long as you pass the year-end assessment, you can successfully graduate from the academy and officially become an inner disciple from the outer door. I have already passed the assessment two years ago, and this year, with my cultivation in the morning stage, I am considered an elite disciple, and the academy will probably not let me play. It's a bit of a pity. I still remember that the reward for the first place in the year-end competition seemed to be five hundred spirit stones. If I were to play, the first prize would have been grabbed. "You should think about braving the wind and snow while planning your future plans.

"After the year-end assessment, the sect will group the disciples and go out to perform the tasks of the sect, which is a good opportunity to go out and explore opportunities. However, the risk of going out to perform a mission is not small, and the demon beasts, spirit beasts, demon monks, poisonous insects, flowers and plants that exist in this world are all deadly. Especially Elder Xiao, this elder has always wanted me to die, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not give me small shoes and give me some deadly tasks. ”

Regarding Elder Xiao, Ying Si has always had some doubts, the memory of the time when he and Xiao Ye went out on a mission was lost, so he didn't know what happened, but he vaguely remembered that there was a powerful figure talking about Dan or something. But Elder Xiao is really very strange, if he is angry with himself because of his son's death, it can be regarded as forgivable. But out of the villain's intuition, Ying Si always felt that this matter was not so simple, and there seemed to be a conspiracy hidden behind it.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, and soon it is the day of the year-end competition.

The school has been preparing for this day for a long time. They set up three or four rings on the martial arts arena. Next to the ring, a high platform was also built, and several rows of ladder-shaped long stone chairs were built by the Tudao monks for the disciples to watch. In order to make the elders watching the battle more comfortable, a shed was also built on the high platform, and several long tables were placed, as well as a few animal skin benches.

Under the shed, the elders of the academy, the great elder, the elder Chen who was in charge of the martial arts hall, and some other elders who came here to watch in their spare time had already sat down, waiting for the competition to begin. As for why Pavilion Master Yun Zhongzi didn't come, it was because he had too many things to deal with recently, and he really couldn't spare any time, so the Great Elder would do it for him.

In the martial arts arena, seventy-six disciples stood straight in the field, and a cold wind blew, freezing the noses of several disciples. But they all stood motionless, standing as firm as stone statues.

On the high platform, the Hall Elder took out a dark piece of wood, on which was placed a palm-sized blue sound blast stone, through which the sound could be amplified tenfold.

The Academy Elder cleared his throat and spoke, "In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and in this year, I believe you have learned a lot and can become a qualified monk. Today's year-end competition is the time to test your learning results, and I hope you will not let me down. Today, it was not only me who came, but also the Great Elder, the Elder of the Yanwu Hall, and some other elders. Moreover, today your brothers and sisters will all come to watch your fight. Which group you want to join, you have to perform well and let the seniors see your strength. ”

"Today's competition, to a certain extent, will affect your future. The winner of the first place in the assessment will be rewarded with 500 spirit stones, and will also receive three second-turn pills provided by Wan Lang Xing, the sponsor of this year-end competition. The second place will receive three hundred spirit stones, as well as a second-turn elixir. The third place will receive 100 spirit stones, as well as a one-turn elixir. Now, let's get ready for your final test in the Academy!"
