PS: Thank you He Fangyuan for your reward, thank you for your humble and intoxicating nostalgia, and the encouragement of the monthly ticket for recruitment.

Zhu Zhimeng was already waiting outside the hut, first invited Zhao Ran into the house to see his humble residence, and then took Zhao Ran to walk in the walnut forest.

The two first talked about the mutual situation after the recent parting, of course, based on Zhao Ran's experience, after all, in the Huayun Pavilion, Zhu Zhimeng is still cultivating in addition to cultivation, and there is nothing worth talking about.

Zhao Ran worshiped under the Jiang Tenghe Sect of the Spirit Sword Pavilion as a registered disciple, and Zhu Zhimeng was more concerned about this matter, so he also paid attention to it and knew some details. According to Zhu Zhimeng, Jiang Tenghe really did not like accepting Zhao Ran as an apprentice, but it was not that Master Jiang Da was dissatisfied with Zhao Ran himself, but that he was very unhappy about being forced to accept an apprentice and accepting a registered disciple of a transitional nature.

Zhao Ran was keenly aware of the term "transition" and was very puzzled by it. Zhu Zhimeng explained that Huayun Pavilion was very reluctant to accept a waste root disciple into the mountain, and after Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi's two uncles proposed this construction, they were immediately rejected by the elders. But in fact, after Master Jiang Tenghe heard about it, he was still more interested in Zhao Ran, and it also revealed that the Spirit Sword Pavilion faction could try to take Zhao Ran into his disciples, and it seemed that Jiang Tenghe was quite interested in trying to train the disciples of the Waste Roots.

However, since the elders vetoed this proposal, Jiang Tenghe did not insist anymore. The turning point of the matter came on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when Huayun Pavilion received a letter from a certain high Taoist in the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

When Zhao Ran heard this, he interjected and asked if it was Master Cai's letter. Zhu Zhimeng shook his head and said that he didn't know.

Skipping this question, Zhu Zhimeng continued, and after the elders convened a meeting, they still decided not to accept Zhao Ran as an official disciple. But they opened a gap and agreed to confer the gong for Zhao Ran, but the conferral is to have an identity, so the elders decided to let Zhao Ran worship under a certain master of one of the eighteen schools of Huayun Pavilion as a registered disciple to complete the entire ritual of conferring the urn.

Jiang Tenghe had said before that he could consider including Zhao Ran's entry. So the elders hoped that Jiang Tenghe would accept Zhao Ran as a registered disciple. Jiang Tenghe also readily agreed at first, but soon found out that the registered disciples mentioned by the elders were really just "registered disciples".

Zhao Ran was stunned and asked Zhu Zhimeng what this means?

Zhu Zhimeng said that the meaning of the name is really just the name of the name, and you don't let Jiang Tenghe interfere too much in your cultivation. The elders are like this for two reasons. First, you Zhao Ran is a waste of bones, and the materials and investment required by Huayun Pavilion to train a monk are huge, and the elders are unwilling to spend too much on you; second, it seems to be related to a certain high Dao in the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and Huayun Pavilion is worried that after cultivating you, you will go to the Jade Emperor Pavilion again, and it will inevitably be too much loss at that time.

Venerable Jiang Da is strongly opposed. Say that either the elders agree with him to pass on the gong to you, or they simply ignore it. and I will not bear the title of Master, so as not to delay you. However, Master Jiang Da was lonely and couldn't withstand the pressure of the elders, so he finally agreed to accept you as a registered disciple, but he also won a condition for you, you can practice in the Spirit Sword Pavilion for one month every year.

Zhao Ran thought about it and asked again. In that case, why doesn't Master Jiang Da want to see me?

Zhu Zhimeng said, Master Jiang Da felt that he had taken on the position of master in vain, but he could not teach you wholeheartedly, so he felt guilty. He doesn't want to be apprenticed to you, and at the same time he's really in retreat, that's right.

Zhao Ran's last question is, how do you know so much about it?

Zhu Zhimeng laughed, and said that he still couldn't hide it from Senior Brother Zhao, to tell the truth, I went to the Spirit Sword Pavilion to inquire about this qiē, and it was Senior Brother Yu Zhichuan of the Spirit Sword Pavilion who told me.

Well, Zhao Ran understood this time, why Jiang Tenghe avoided him, why it seemed that Jiang Tenghe didn't want to see him, but the senior brother Wei Zhizhen was so kind to him, it turned out that he was teaching apprentices on behalf of his teacher. Thinking of this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but suddenly have a little more respect for himself, a master he had never met. He calculated the time again, it seemed that he would have to go back if he could stay in the Spirit Sword Pavilion for another twenty days, and he should hurry up and race against time to cultivate.

After knowing the ins and outs, Zhao Ran had all the blockages in his chest in the past few days, and his mood was a lot more comfortable, and he suddenly remembered Zhou Yumo, whose face was becoming more and more blurred in his mind, so he asked.

Zhu Zhimeng sighed, led Zhao Ran out of the Qiqiao Forest, and walked towards the back mountain. Zhao Ran followed him around for half an hour, and a cliff appeared in front of him, Zhu Zhimeng pointed to the cliff and said: "This is my Huayun Pavilion asking the Immortal Cliff, but all the retreats in the Chong Realm are mostly here." It has been more than four months since Senior Sister Zhou climbed the cliff last year, but it has not come out until today, and I don't know what happened. ”

Zhao Ran didn't know how long it would take to rush to the realm, and asked, "Four months?"

Zhu Zhimeng shook his head: "How much time it takes, this varies from person to person, it's really hard to say, but when Senior Sister Zhou entered the Yushi realm, it only took seven days to break through, but this time there has been no result after more than four months, which is really worrying." ”

"Is it dangerous?"

"It stands to reason that if the mage rushes down, at most he can't rush through, and the danger is not great, but it doesn't rule out special circumstances. ”

Zhao Ran looked at Zhu Zhimeng with a worried face, and began to play the drum, and secretly prayed for Zhou Yumo for two words of peace.

The next day, Zhao Ran worked harder, because if what Zhu Zhimeng said was true, then his days of cultivation in the Spirit Sword Pavilion would be numbered, and if he wanted to come back next time, he would have to wait until next year.

Meditate in the Heart Washing Pavilion as usual, then enter the Sword Pavilion, insert the token into the stone pillar to activate a large array, and then continue to fight with the three-foot-long flying sword from yesterday.

Zhao Ran focused his cultivation on the Nine Heavens Xuanlong Great Forbidden Technique's skills when facing the enemy, and used the attack of the flying sword to improve his actual combat experience.

After three consecutive days, this flying sword was no longer a threat to Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran became more and more relaxed to deal with, and later, he even had a quick hand and a quick eye, and grabbed the flying sword directly into his palm to take a closer look. He was not interested in this flying sword, although this sword was powerful and heavy, and the accuracy was excellent, but the flaw was also obvious, that is, the sword speed was not fast enough, Zhao Ran gave up choosing this flying sword after thinking about it.

On the fourth day of entering the Sword Pavilion, the difficulty of cultivation escalated sharply, in addition to the three-foot-long flying sword that continued to attack him, another flying sword was added, which was similar in size and length to the first one, but the weight was very light, and the key was that it was extremely fast.

The two flying swords together are by no means as simple as one plus one equals two, especially since these two flying swords have complementary effects in some functions, and Zhao Ran will find it difficult to deal with them. To Zhao Ran's great surprise, these two flying swords actually knew how to cooperate with each other, for example, the positions were never uniform, but they were in two directions with each other, and they never launched together when attacking, but one moved first, and the other lagged behind for a moment.

Zhao Ran felt as if there were two people fighting on the opposite side instead of two flying swords, one was attacking head-on, and the other was watching the opportunity on the side, looking for his own flaws and sending a more powerful blow. Zhao Ran was in a hurry, and almost hit the trick several times in a row, and the most severe one time, even the Dao bun was cut away by the flying sword, so frightened that he hurriedly threw out the token and forcibly suspended his cultivation.

For many days, Zhao Ran struggled with these two flying swords, this time he couldn't help but dodge and practice the skills of the Great Forbidden Technique in the fighting method, and he also sacrificed his life-saving trick to press the bottom of the box, and the flames were mixed with twelve money darts.

After more than ten days of hard training, Zhao Ran was able to cope with the coordinated attack of the two flying swords. Zhao Ran had already thought about the second flying sword, although the lethality of this flying sword was not as good as the first one, but it was extremely fast, which was very in line with Zhao Ran's appetite. However, Zhao Ran didn't make a hasty decision, counting the days, he still had seven days to continue cultivating in the Sword Pavilion, he wanted to see what the third flying sword looked like.

When the third flying sword joined, the first time he attacked Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran was injured, this was the first time he was injured while cultivating in the Sword Pavilion. Fortunately, he had always had medicine powder for treating external injuries in his fingers, and he quickly stopped the bleeding, although it was not a big deal, but it did surprise him into a cold sweat, and this time he was on the verge of life and death.
