A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Qi's mouth: "Brother Zhou, you are right, I used this method to steal once, and it is indeed very useful." ”

After Zhou Cong heard this, he laughed, and the sorrow just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then, Zhou Cong explained to Lu Qi the recent situation and some changes in the academy, and Lu Qi listened silently and remembered them one by one.

The general situation is like this, because after Situ Hao left, he handed over the management of the academy to the two Gu elders, and these two Gu elders began to formulate some measures, and even changed all the rules of the academy, first of all, the challenge rules of this martial arts arena were changed to no restrictions, that is, as long as the disciples wanted to challenge, they could challenge at any time, and the challenged person could not refuse yet, and must accept it unconditionally, which made Lu Qi a little speechless.

Especially Xia Ying and Zhou Cong were challenged by a disciple, and that disciple's cultivation is still in the Jindan period, just imagine, the disciples of the Jindan period challenge the disciples of the foundation building period, the disciples of the foundation building period are not opponents at all, and Xia Ying and Zhou Cong can only accept this, the final outcome is a death and a poisoning, although Zhou Cong is poisoned, it is almost no different from death, if it is not for Lu Qi to help Zhou Cong expel the poison, Zhou Cong's final fate is also certain death.

Regarding this, Zhou Cong's final understanding was that the man didn't want to kill Zhou Cong at all, but just wanted to plant Gu worms, and Zhou Cong was lucky enough to pick up a life because of this.

After Lu Qi heard this rule, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Since there is no limit, then I will challenge all the people in this academy and let them know what it means to be powerful!"

Zhou Cong said in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, don't underestimate the enemy, I heard that some of the core disciples of the academy are so strong in cultivation that even those elders are not opponents, and there is also that Xia Ying's death and my poisoning this time are not accidental, maybe someone deliberately targeted us." ”

When Lu Qi heard this, he nodded and said: "What Brother Zhou said is very reasonable, Xia Ying has a great relationship with you and me, and now you two have been murdered, it can be seen that this person is coming for me!"

Zhou Cong said: "Another point is that since that person challenged the two of us, he hasn't challenged other outer disciples, which is indeed suspicious. ”

Lu Qi asked, "Does Brother Zhou know who that person is?"

Zhou Cong shook his head and said, "I don't know, when I fought that person, he was masked from beginning to end, and he never revealed his name. ”

Lu Qi said angrily: "Now this academy is too child's play, not only does the competition not only not tell the name, but even the face is not seen!"

Zhou Cong said helplessly: "This is all done by the mastermind behind that person, and I don't know the specific reason." ”

Lu Qi was furious when he heard this, and said, "Hmph! If I find out the mastermind behind that person, no matter how strong his cultivation is and how clever his methods are, I will definitely kill him!"

Zhou Cong shook his head and persuaded: "Brother Lu, you must think twice before you act, this Flying Heaven Cultivation Academy has stood for thousands of years, and its internal strength is not as good as it looks on the surface."

It's so simple, if you're a lonely person like me, but you still have a lot of family behind you, remember not to act impulsively, if you can win, it's okay, if you fail, can you afford it?"

"Brother Zhou is right, I will definitely think about it carefully," Lu Qi nodded.

Zhou Cong's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Lu Qi's head, which calmed him down a lot, but after a while, his face returned to the chill just now, and he glared out of the window.

At this time, Zhou Cong suddenly remembered something and said: "You haven't gone to the Elders' House to report when you come back, it's better for you to go now, maybe there will be some rewards for you, as for revenge, don't make a noise first." ”

"Then I'll go now," Lu Qi hugged his fists and said: "Brother Zhou, please wait here with peace of mind, remember not to go out without permission, and come back to pick you up when I finish this." ”

"Okay," Zhou Cong nodded, and entered the state of cultivation.

Lu Qi simply arranged some prohibitions in the room, if there was a villain attack, Lu Qi could know it as soon as possible, and after all this was done, he walked out with confidence.

At this time, it was already noon, the sun was hanging high, after Lu Qi passed the fire technique, this ray of sunlight became a tonic for him, and he even felt that the heat was not enough, if it could be increased several times, his fire technique could be slightly improved.

Lu Qi hurriedly ran towards the Elder's Courtyard, which was on the west side of the nine-story tower, not too far from his Outer Gate Courtyard, on the way, he recalled the second rule that Zhou Cong had told him just now, that is, the Outer Gate Courtyard no longer imprisons disciples, as long as it is a disciple over 35 years old, if he feels that he has no hope of breaking through his cultivation, he can apply to leave the Flying Heaven Cultivation Academy, and this rule is still quite conscientious.

Lu Qi had not been to this Elders' House, and he had heard that it was a place to register soul seals here, so as to facilitate the management of all the members of the academy, and those elders would also come to meetings regularly to report on the development and planning of the entire academy.

Lu Qi soon arrived at the Elders' House, which was a square mansion with several attics, and the central attic was the highest, with as many as five floors, so it could be seen that this attic should be the place where the elders held regular meetings.

Lu Qi went straight to the central attic, and after entering, he found that the furnishings inside were very simple, with seats on the left and right sides, and an old man about fifty years old sat in the middle.

The old man was wearing a white elder robe, with big ears, a slightly red nose, crane hair and a childish face, his eyes slightly closed, a jade waist card hanging from his waist, and no spiritual power fluctuations around his body, the most important point was that Lu Qi couldn't see through this person's cultivation at all.

Judging from the outfit of this old man, this person's identity must not be low, although Lu Qi has never seen this kind of waist card, but after all, he has been in the academy for more than a year, and he still knows a little about these, and he has heard that above the core elder is the ancient elder, and this old man's cultivation and waist card are so advanced, it is inferred that this old man should be the legendary ancient elder.

So, Lu Qi respectfully hugged his fists and said, "Meet Elder Gu, disciple Lu Qi has just gone out to practice."

returned, and made a special trip to report. ”

The old man didn't open his eyes, and said slowly: "You are Lu Qi, I have heard your name, and now I see that it is indeed worthy of the name, and he has stepped into the realm of fake babies at a young age, and he is worthy of being the person who once topped the list of the outer gates." ”

Lu Qi bowed his head slightly and said, "The elder has won the award, the disciple is just a fluke, and there is no powerful means." ”

"Hehe," the old man chuckled, slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly shot out a fine light, straight to Lu Qi's heart, just at this moment, Lu Qi's expression was a little dazed, as if the old man saw through everything.

Suddenly, a five-colored light appeared in Lu Qi's mind, which resolved the danger, and Lu Qi quickly regained his clarity.

Seeing this, the old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The kid is very good, the cultivation of the Jindan period is quite accomplished in the power of the soul, which makes this seat very appreciative." ”

The temptation just now made Lu Qi's heart a little angry, but the old man's cultivation in front of him was too strong, and he didn't dare to make a mistake at all, because there was a lesson from the Miaoyin woman before, which still made him feel palpitations, but this time, he was extremely well-behaved, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Elder Gu's cultivation is unfathomable, and it is on par with the dean, which makes the disciple sincerely admire." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old man was extremely useful, but his face was still humble: "Where and where, the dean has been crisscrossing the cultivation realm for many years, and even skipping the challenge is a common thing, how can this seat be compared to him." ”

Lu Qi complimented: "Elder Gu doesn't have to be too humble, you have this cultivation that makes your disciples admire it very much, I don't know your honorable name......

The old man smiled and said, "My surname is Liu, my name is Changqing, you can call me Elder Liu in the future." ”

"Well, the disciple remembered," Lu Qi nodded in response.

The old man said: "But I don't care about this incident, you can go to the attic next to you to report, and by the way, you can receive some rewards." ”

"Okay, the disciple quits. Lu Qi gave a fist salute and turned to leave.

Liu Changqing looked at Lu Qi's back and fell into deep thought......

Lu Qi walked out of the door, and the voice of the old man of the Five Elements came out of his mind: "That elder just now was quite sinister, and he actually used this method to sneak attack you." ”

Lu Qi was shocked when he heard this: "Master, wasn't that person a temptation just now?"

The old man of the five elements said angrily: "Tempting a fart, he has bad intentions at all, if I don't urge the five elements bead to defend, I'm afraid your soul will be injured, without a ten days and a half months, you can't recover your soul at all." ”

Lu Qi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Grass, so that's the case, but what is that person's strength?"

The old man of the five elements said: "Strength, anyway, it's only high, not low, at least above the Yuan Infant Stage!"

Lu Qi's face was shocked: "Isn't it the out-of-body period above the Yuan Infant Stage?" I didn't expect that any elder from this academy would be such a terrifying existence. ”

The old man of the five elements said: "It should be, if it is not for the out-of-body period, how can there be such a powerful divine soul power, only when the monk reaches the out-of-body period and wanders outside the world, can he have this."

Powerful supernatural powers. ”

"Oh, I see," Lu Qi nodded, lost in thought.

Lu Qi soon arrived in the attic next to him, and this attic is only three stories high, but it is very different from the central attic just now, there is not a figure on the first floor, but there are many wooden signs, each wooden card is engraved with the name of a person, and there is a halo on the wooden card, which seems to be a soul or something, so it can be inferred that these wooden cards correspond to everyone in the academy.

Lu Qi didn't stop, and went directly up the stairs at the corner to the second floor, and found that the layout of the second floor was also empty, with only a core elder about forty years old meditating cross-legged there, and there was only one jack behind the elder, and nothing else.

The elder opened his eyes slightly and said, "What is the matter with you here, this disciple?"
