Chapter 42: East Lake Club (3)
Zhao Yingluo's preferences have been extensive. First, he learned alchemy and alchemy when he was young, and later, under Leng Qingyun's teaching, he dabbled in the talisman seal; after getting to know Li Qingmao and Yin Mingyue, he couldn't help but want to study the mystery of the formation; and now he found that he was actually more interested in the art of refining puppets. It seems that it is really as Nangong Huixue said: he wants to learn and try everything related to skills. The result is likely to create a situation of "everything is common and everything is loose", after all, a person's energy is limited, and if he thinks more about this aspect, he will think less about that aspect. In the long run, it is very likely that in the end, it will affect his cultivation path because he has too much energy involved.
After several hesitations and struggles, Zhao Yingluo gritted his teeth and left the stall that attracted him. After passing through several stalls selling ritual utensils, ornaments, costumes, and elixirs, he stopped in front of the clearing where a little white ape was performing inside.
Standing outside the human wall, from Zhao Yingluo's angle, it was barely visible that a very spiritual, very young white ape was nodding his head, squeezing his eyebrows and making everyone laugh. After seeing that in the green wooden box he was holding in his hand, a few low-grade spirit stones, a few tickets for the common goods of the "Weidong Commercial Bank", as well as a few pieces of broken silver and a few coins in circulation in the world, the stall owner quickly struck the broken gong in his hand. In the sound of gold and iron, the young white ape who solemnly rested the wooden box in his hand at his feet began to practice a set of "long fists" that are common in the secular world.
Looking at the few whip marks on the plush body of the young white ape, looking at its extremely spiritual pitiful, hateful, pathetic begging eyes. Yingluo sighed in his heart, the so-called equality of all beings, the so-called self-love and self-esteem, I don't know how to talk about it.
If there are no women in this world, there will be 7 out of 10 beauty and 3 out of 10 truth. After Zhao Yingluo joined the crowd, he walked forward for a long time, and saw a group of young and beautiful women in the simple and elegant octagonal pavilion built on an open land by the lake.
A group of women are sitting or standing, all of them are smiling and smiling, and their manners are myriad. Those who often participate in the East Lake Society must know that this is the "Liuhe Gate", one of the three major sects in East Lake County, where outer disciples are recruited.
With the power of Zhao Yingluo's divine consciousness in the late stage of condensation, he could sense that the cultivation of all the women in the pavilion was above the condensation period, and they should have practiced a method similar to that of dividing vertical and combined attacks. They seemed to sit or stand at will, but the coercion generated by being together was by no means below that of the Crystallization Stage monks.
At this moment, Zhao Yingluo was looking with interest at the seemingly most inconspicuous existence among the womenโa thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing in the corner, most of her body covered by the colonnade of the pavilion.
As if sensing something, the little girl's round apricot eyes glared at Zhao Yingluo fiercely, as if she was staring at him without the slightest evasion, expressing strong dissatisfaction. Looking at her angry apricot eyes and the slightly curled corners of her lips when she was angry, Zhao Yingluo lost her mind for a moment, and her mind couldn't help but flash Lan'er's figure. I really don't know how that quirky little girl is doing right now?
As for the "Liuhe Gate", Zhao Yingluo did not have a good impression of this sect. Among the "Liuhe", he only knows the "love and will" and "match made in heaven", but he does not know about the other "Sihe". As far as he knew, almost all of the disciples in the Liuhe Sect were women, and the entry requirements of the sect were very high, and it was difficult for those who were not young and beautiful and had good qualifications to rank on the wall.
The influence of such a sect in the outside world is unknown. After nearly 10,000 years of operation in Donghu County, the Liuhe Gate has been deeply rooted in Donghu County through the marriage of the beautiful female disciples in the door and the local immortal cultivation families, small and medium-sized sects, famous families, and well-known loose cultivators.
An important reason why Zhao Yingluo did not have a good impression of him was that the several major exercises inherited in the Liuhe Gate all belonged to the category of yin and charm, which made him disdain him who had always claimed to be a righteous gentleman. Looking at the eagerness, appreciation, and fiery eyes of the people around him when they looked at the women in the pavilion, and listened to the mixed evaluations of the women around them. Zhao Yingluo shook his head, turned his back silently, and disappeared into the vast sea of people in an instant.
As one of the three veteran immortal cultivation forces in Donghu County, the Sword Casting Pavilion is more than a grade higher than the "Liuhe Gate" in the station where the East Lake Society selects outer disciples. Zhao Yingluo looked at a wooden structure tower that covered an area of acres and was seven stories high that appeared in front of him, and looked at the three gold-painted characters of "Sword Casting Tower" written on the huge vermilion plaque hanging on the top of the second floor, and he once again felt the weight of this "Sword Casting Pavilion" in Donghu County.
At this moment, in the council hall on the sixth floor of the Sword Casting Building, several powerhouses who were above the crystallization stage were discussing something in a low voice. Judging from the solemn expressions of the crowd and the occasional few words, it can be judged that the matter under discussion is quite tricky. After nearly half an hour of discussion and discussion, everyone's eyes looked at the woman sitting in the first place, the sword eyebrows flew obliquely into the mane, the facial features were handsome, tough, and a little more handsome than a man. If Zhao Yingluo was in person, he would recognize this woman as "one of the four swords of the Broadsword Sect, the great monk of the late stage of Huandan-Wen Qiushui", and at this moment, his cultivation actually fell to the realm of the early stage of psychic.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wen Qiushui said loudly: "Your opinions, this sword master has already understood. Tomorrow is the second day of the East Lake Society, and it is also the day agreed thousands of years ago that my Sword Casting Pavilion and the other two families will jointly select the outer disciples. Although the Four Divine Swords of this sect were severely damaged by Leng Manyun's unfinished supernatural powers a few days ago, she would not have a good time. I heard that after casting the 'Love and Hate Soul Splitting Technique', her cultivation realm has fallen to the realm of the early stage of Returning Dan, and once the soul is broken, how much of her is still the same, I'm afraid only God knows, Leng Qingyun is a good example. โ
Seeing that everyone didn't interject, Wen Qiushui took a sip of tea and continued: "The recent situation of this sect is indeed not optimistic, and the actions of the 'Sword Casting Pavilion' in Donghu County are also mostly constrained by this, but the prestige of the Broadsword Gate for tens of thousands of years cannot be provoked. Recently, it has been rumored that the order of the three selection of disciples and disciples at the East Lake meeting may have changed, so today in front of everyone, the sword master solemnly emphasized that how the other two changes has nothing to do with us, and the order of the selection of talents at the East Lake meeting has not changed compared with the previous session, and it is still the first priority. The two Yuan Dan monks of the Yin Sect who were invited by the Ding Sword Master to come to help the fist have already arrived at the East Lake, and have already stayed in the East Lakeside Sword Casting Pavilion. As for some specific matters concerning the selection of candidates tomorrow, you will implement them according to the results that have just been agreed. โ
