Seeing the second daughter leave, Chen Changan finally breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly pinched a cold sweat.

With the strength of that tall woman, if you want to teach him a lesson, it is not a matter of being able to catch him.

The moment the second daughter left the formation, a soft timid voice came: "My name is Su Yao..."

Chen Changan was stunned, only to see a green little face, looking back and smiling, shy and timid, and quickly avoided his gaze and left quickly.

After the second daughter left, Chen Changan didn't think much about it, it was already dark at this time, and he had to go back for the time being.

After returning to Lingbao Pavilion, Chen Changan handed over the flaws and weaknesses of the formation near Lingtan to Yuan Lao.

Returning to the residence in the outer courtyard, Chen Changan spent time in cultivation again.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Changan found that his body had improved a lot again, and his current physical body was almost equivalent to the realm of coming out of the dust.

"With my current strength, I should be able to challenge the dusty sky. Chen Changan pursed his lips and smiled.

In his mind, entering the inner courtyard within half a month should be nine out of ten.

Before entering the inner courtyard, he also wanted to accumulate more strength in the outer courtyard. In the next few days, Chen Changan began to study refining weapons wholeheartedly, and now he can complete refining tools under the guidance of Yuan Lao.

Half a month passed quickly, and at the beginning, Zhang Lao and Yuan Lao agreed to let Chen Changan stay with them for fifteen days each, which Chen Changan had already done.

At present, it depends on how Zhang Lao and Yuan Lao are superior.

The strange thing is that in the next few days, Yuan Lao and Zhang Lao did not come to Chen Changan.

On this day, Chen Changan received a challenge from Yuwen Zhengyang and others.

There is only one meeting to challenge the alternate inner court students, and once they fail, they cannot continue to challenge for half a year.

However, this is only for ordinary students in the outer courtyard, and there is no such restriction for those who are already candidates for students.

Now, Yuwen Zhengyang's cultivation has reached the limit of half a step out of the dust realm, and if he is not careful, he may break through the dust realm at any time.

Three days later, Chen Changan responded to Yuwen Zhengyang as promised.

However, the result was still the same, and Chen Changan won easily.

Yuwen Zhengyang only insisted on more than a dozen moves, and he lost to Chen Changan.

"His current strength is not inferior to Lin Yi, who was the first in the last outer court. Yuwen Zhengyang left gloomily.

At this point, Chen Chang'an's position as the first in the outer courtyard has been unshaken.

After the challenge, Chen Changan had not been idle for half a day, and his house ushered in two "uninvited guests".

"Old Yuan, Old Zhang, why are you all here?" Chen Changan was flattered for a while.

The small outer courtyard actually ushered in the presence of two deputy pavilion masters at the same time.

He hurriedly welcomed the second elder to take a seat, and muttered in his heart, wondering if the second elder would distinguish the "victory and defeat".

Zhang Lao and Yuan Lao were unexpectedly quiet, and they didn't argue with each other, they just stared at Chen Chang'an, with regret and sighs.

"Second Elder, what's wrong?" Chen Changan felt that the situation was abnormal.

It stands to reason that with his amazing qualifications, Zhang Lao and Yuan Lao should not give up easily.

"Chen Chang'an, we have discussed the issue of apprenticeship and have made a decision. Yuan Lao said solemnly.

Got a decision?

Chen Chang'an's heart was in shock, and he secretly complained, to be honest, although he had a certain interest in refining medicine and refining weapons, this was not the path he really longed for.

Zhang Lao coughed lightly: "That's the case, after discussion, we feel that with your qualifications, being our disciple is completely condescending." ”

Well... Yes?

Chen Changan lost color and looked at the second elder in disbelief.

Elder Zhang and Elder Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time they were relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Changan, you may be surprised, but this is the case, since the old man debuted, he has never seen such an amazing and superb alchemy genius as you. With the ability of the old man, he will teach you a year or two at most, and there will be nothing to teach, and this is still a conservative estimate. Zhang Lao shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"That's right, at our level, it's not enough to be your teacher. I can recommend you to know Mr. Gongsun, a refining master who is more powerful than me, and if you worship him, it will be possible to realize your true potential. Yuan Lao was slightly bitter and helpless.

Immediately, Elder Zhang also recommended a master of alchemy to Chen Chang'an.

With the attainments of the second elder, he can only be regarded as an outstanding alchemist and refiner, and he is not a real master.

To truly be named a "master" is to have the pinnacle of skills in a certain field.

Chen Changan knew that the masters recommended to him by the second elder all had a high reputation, and they were all countries ten times stronger than the Jinyang Kingdom, and the power of the sect where they were located was far superior to the Jinyang Academy by many times.

"Thank you for the kindness of the two teachers, but I am not interested in refining medicine, nor in refining weapons, but I am just a little interested in studying one or two in my spare time. Chen Changan took a deep breath and bowed to the two elders.

In this moment, he truly confided his inner thoughts.

"You call us teachers?" Yuan Lao was slightly excited.

Zhang Lao was also pleased.

Although Chen Changan did not officially worship them as teachers, nor did he aspire to alchemy and formations, a "teacher" could be regarded as having a master-apprentice status to express respect and gratitude to them.

Over time, no matter who Chen Chang'an worships as a teacher and how high his achievements are, even if he becomes a generation of masters, he will still call them a teacher, at least it will be a relationship of teacher and friend.

In the eyes of the second elder, even if Chen Changan doesn't work hard, it will not be difficult to become a generation of alchemy masters or refiner masters in the future, and it is even very possible to become a master in the two fields of alchemy and refining.

Therefore, Chen Changan's "teacher" can be regarded as a shout to their hearts, which makes them very relieved and satisfied.

Next, Chen Changan began to face the persuasion of the two teachers in turn, which can be described as bitter and hard-hearted, so he almost poured out his heart and lungs for him.

The second elder tried his best to persuade Chen Changan to embark on the "right path", even if he learned to refine medicine and refining weapons at the same time, it was not impossible.

But Chen Changan finally refused, because he knew in his heart that he, whose body was a sword, was destined to use martial arts cultivation as the ultimate goal in this life, refining medicine or refining weapons, but by the way.

"If you are dedicated to entering the martial arts, then the trial in a few months will not be missed. Old Yuan's words suddenly changed.

Trials?

"At Jinyang Academy, the trial is held every five years, which is a great opportunity and a turning point in life for all students. If you can't enter the inner courtyard, or if you don't have the opportunity to participate in the trial, then it means that you don't have enough opportunities in martial arts practice. Zhang Lao said with a smile.

Chen Changan couldn't help but secretly think about the words of the second elder.

He vaguely realized that this trial would be a great opportunity for the students of the inner court.

But even if it is a student of the inner court, only a few people can participate in this trial.

Subsequently, Chen Changan found out a lot about the trial from the second elder.

First of all, the trial is a great opportunity, and the trialist enters the exquisite realm of the ancient inheritance, and gains some benefits from it, becoming a powerful help on the path of cultivation.

Secondly, disciples who perform well in trials often have great achievements in the future, and they are easy to be valued by the top management of the academy as core members of the academy.

In Jinyang Academy, almost all the masters of the Xuan Realm in the past generations have achieved excellent performance in trials.

For example, the dean of this session is the most amazing one in the trials in the past hundred years.

The meaning of the second elder is very clear, if Chen Changan has no chance to participate in the trial, then it means that he has insufficient opportunities in cultivation, and his future achievements are limited, so it is better to come back to learn alchemy and refining weapons.

In the cultivation world, some high-ranking elders pay great attention to "chance", so the second elder has such a saying.

Even Chen Changan can't ignore the ethereal thing of "chance".

If it weren't for that mysterious guardian, there would be no current Chen Changan.

"Hehe, if I can successfully participate in the trial, will the second elder continue to prevent me from cultivating?" Chen Changan smiled slightly.

When the two elders heard this, they laughed and shook their heads, thinking that it was impossible.

"There are still two or three months left before the trial begins, and it is still unknown whether you will be able to enter the inner courtyard. Moreover, in the previous trials, in the entire Jinyang Academy, there were only a very small number of places, and there were generally no cultivators above the Dust Triple Heaven, so I am afraid that it would be difficult to win the places. Yuan Lao explained.

"If you do get a spot in the trial, we have nothing to say. Zhang Lao also echoed on the side.

"Okay! Chen Changan finally reached this agreement with the second elder.

The content of the agreement was: If Chen Changan can successfully obtain the quota to participate in the trial, they will no longer hinder Chen Chang's safe heart cultivation.

If Chen Changan was unable to participate in the trial, he would have to consider the advice of the second elder and devote his mind to refining medicine and refining weapons.

After this agreement, the second elder laughed heartily, full of confidence, and left Chen Chang'an's residence.

Before leaving, Yuan Lao promised Chen Changan that he would arrange for him to observe the peerless divine soldiers in the next few days.

"Is this trial really so magical, and the competition is so fierce?" Chen Changan watched the second elder leave with confidence.

After the problem of the second elder was temporarily resolved, Chen Changan was in the outer courtyard, no longer worried, and he had no distractions in his cultivation.

Before entering the inner courtyard, Chen Changan had to try his best to improve his strength.

Three days later, Yuwen Zhengyang, a student from the outer courtyard, successfully broke through the dust realm and successfully entered the inner courtyard.

According to the rules of the academy, as long as you break through the dust realm before the age of thirty, you will automatically leave the outer courtyard and cannot participate in the challenge of the alternate inner courtyard students.

Yuwen Zhengyang was also very helpless, with his talent and background, if it weren't for wanting to win the first place in the outer courtyard, he would have been able to break through the dust realm and enter the inner courtyard.

A few more days passed.

Jin Yuer, a student of the outer courtyard, also successfully broke through the dust realm and entered the inner courtyard.

This news surprised Chen Changan, he didn't expect that Jin Yu'er's cultivation talent was so high that he actually entered the inner courtyard one step ahead of himself.

Before Jin Yu'er left, she also came to visit Chen Chang'an, and said with a smile: "Pharmacist Chen, the little woman is waiting in the inner courtyard?"

"Definitely. ”

Chen Changan's answer made Jin Yuer secretly surprised.

Yuwen Zhengyang and Jin Yuer, the initial starting point, talent, cultivation, background, etc., are only above Chen Changan.

Jin Yuer saw that Chen Changan had not yet broken through the dust realm, thinking that he was limited by qualifications and other reasons.

How did she know that Chen Changan was bent on laying a good foundation when he was in the mortal realm, otherwise, he would probably break through the dust realm earlier than Yuwen Zhengyang.

Moreover, if Chen Changan was bent on improving his cultivation, as long as he had enough strength, he could almost ignore the bottleneck.
