Text: Chapter 9 The Situation of Dabi
This night, Shen Mu didn't fall asleep, the previous aura was not all leaked out, there was still a trace of it left in the body, Shen Mu didn't want to waste this trace of aura, according to the absorption method of the Seven Yao Demon Method, absorb these aura into the flesh and blood, although it didn't feel much, but as long as it persevered, it could always bring some benefits.
Now this slow absorption speed allowed Shen Mu to rest assured that he could cultivate the Seven Yao Demon Method's Spirit Harvesting Period Exercises, and these spiritual qi in the early stage would only enhance his physique, but would not allow him to exude demonic energy.
The night passed quickly, Cen Yubo did not let Shen Mu go out again, after having such a big harvest yesterday, Cen Yubo didn't want to go outside anymore, if he was sought revenge by others, then he would be happy and sad, and he told Shen Mu outside the door not to slack off, and then Cen Yubo went back to his room, and then used spiritual power again to isolate the breath of these two rooms, in case he was snooped on by someone with a heart.
Shen Mu agreed, but he sneered in his heart, now he has completely seen through Cen Yubo's disgusting face, on the surface he cares about himself, but in fact, he has been secretly monitoring, for fear that he will escape from his control, and yesterday Mo Luojia didn't know what method he used, he actually blinded Cen Yubo's perception, presumably Mo Luojia is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Under Cen Yubo's surveillance, Shen Mu didn't take half a step out of the room at all except for eating, and the Seven Yao Demon Method, which was always hidden by Shen Mu, never dared to take it out, seeing that Shen Mu was so well-behaved, Cen Yubo was very satisfied, and even pretended to take two Qi Condensing Pills to Shen Mu.
And these days, the disciple Dabi of the Azure Taoist Temple is also in full swing, some miscellaneous disciples challenge the registered disciples, hoping to be favored by some elders, and no longer have to act as coolies every day, and the registered disciples are attacking the outer disciples, after all, the registered disciples are only a little higher than those miscellaneous disciples, if they become the outer disciples, they really get the opportunity to step into the cultivation realm, which is very different, it can be said that becoming an outer disciple has a certain status in the Azure Taoist Temple.
And the most popular, of course, belongs to the inner disciple battle and the personal disciple war, this part of the talent is the real elite disciple of the Azure Taoist Temple, it can be said that the inner disciple and the personal disciple are already a group of people with a very high status, how many people sharpen their heads and want to squeeze in, but the final result is often the head is broken and bleeding, the resources enjoyed by the inner disciples and the pro-disciple disciples do not know how much better than other disciples, and others want to defeat them in the disciple competition, which is naturally very difficult.
But this time in the inner disciple battle, there was a good seedling, Xu Hu, who was originally an outer disciple, defeated Chen Long, who was originally ranked fifty-sixth among the inner disciples, within ten moves, that awe-inspiring sword intent, even some inner disciples with advanced cultivation would gasp when they saw it, and Xu Hu was also favored by a sword cultivation elder and accepted as a closed disciple.
But with the gradual progress of the disciple competition, although Shen Mu is not in the Azure Taoist Temple, it has become the focus of everyone's discussion, it can be said that many inner disciples are staring at his personal disciple seat, who doesn't know that Shen Mu is a waste, as long as he defeats him, he can easily get the title of personal disciple, this is a good thing that can't be asked, and some people even use spiritual fluid to buy the right to take the lead, but no one cares.
And this public opinion is also intensifying, and the leader is the only son of the fourth uncle, Cheng Ruoming, originally he was determined to win Shen Mu's position, but he didn't expect Shen Mu to appear at all, which made him unable to start his challenge, and he was extremely resentful in his heart at the moment, so he secretly promoted and formed a storm of public opinion among his disciples, so as to put pressure on the Azure Daoist and let him order Shen Mu to participate in the disciple competition.
In this regard, the Azure Daoist simply came forward, saying that Shen Mu is now in his test, and he can't get out for the time being, and Shen Mu's related matters must no longer be discussed in the Taoist temple, and if anyone commits it again, he will be expelled from Tianqing directly!
The way the Azure Daoist dealt with it was simple and rude, but it was direct and effective, which was equivalent to clearly telling that group of people that he was protecting Shen Mu, and if there was anyone who disobeyed him to do so, he didn't have to stay in the Azure Daoist Temple, so that public opinion suddenly came to an abrupt end, and no one was willing to risk angering the Azure Daoist to talk about it, if they were really expelled from the Azure Daoist Temple, then their future was worrying.
Although Cheng Ruoming hated itchy, he was helpless, his father was only the fourth-ranked elder, and he was not the core elder of the Azure Daoist Temple at all, if the Azure Daoist was really angry, then his father would not be able to protect him.
After the end of the inner disciple war, Xu Hu and another outer disciple Gu Yan became the new inner disciples, and Xu Hu was also accepted as a closed disciple by an elder due to the particularity of sword cultivation, which can be said to be the person who has gained the most so far, and Xu Hu is not greedy, and he did not challenge the personal disciple again, he has this self-knowledge, and now he is going to challenge, it is undoubtedly a humiliation for himself.
And the next battle of the disciples is a lack of highlights, everyone in the Azure Taoist Temple knows that Senior Brother Su Qinghe has always been a well-deserved first, only thirty-one years old, but he is already a strong man in the middle stage of foundation building, this terrifying cultivation speed is beyond people's reach, and at the same time, it also gives birth to awe in his heart.
As for the other pro-disciples, the ranking of the second and third may fluctuate a little, the fourth Shen Mu did not appear at all from beginning to end, and the fifth Xu Ruohan is too young, and now he is only at the fourth level of condensation, so he does not need to participate in the pro-disciple battle at all.
This situation has also caused a lack of highlights in the pro-disciple battle, and many people will stay until the last day, all because they want to see the demeanor of Senior Brother Su Qinghe.
However, when the second-ranked Xingnan and the third-ranked Shi Jian competed, a white-clothed young man came to the Azure Taoist Temple, saying that he wanted to worship under the Tianqing Taoist Temple, and the Tianqing Taoist did not directly agree to this, but asked him to challenge either Shi Jian and Xingnan, and if he could insist on the tea time, he agreed to give him a place as a personal disciple.
Among the two of them, Xing Nan was the eleventh layer of condensation qi, and Shi Jian was the tenth layer of condensation qi, and the young man in white did not choose the time as everyone expected, but directly chose Xing Nan, showing his ambition to become famous in one fight.
In the battle that followed, the white-clothed young man showed his ninth-level cultivation of condensation, and by virtue of the timing of the battle, he insisted on the fast tea time under Xingnan, and although he was still defeated in the end, he had already won the affirmation of many people, after all, if he chose Shi Jian, it would be no surprise that he would definitely be able to insist on a cup of tea undefeated.
The Azure Daoist was also extremely satisfied with this, and directly accepted the white-clothed young man as the sixth personal disciple, although his strength had reached the ninth layer of condensation, but the ranking was the lowest, so far, the Azure Taoist Temple already had six major personal disciples, of course, in the eyes of many people, it was actually the five major personal disciples, and Shen Mu was not taken into their eyes at all.
After this battle, the name of Wang Yifan, a young man in white, is already known to everyone in the Azure Taoist Temple, and is even known as the existence of being qualified to challenge Su Qinghe in the future, after all, Wang Yifan is only nineteen years old this year, and he is even younger than Shen Mu.
On the same day, the Azure Daoist personally gave him a robe, gave him a personal disciple token, and in front of everyone, gave him the flying sword he carried, these actions all show the love of the Azure Daoist for Wang Yifan, many people with active minds are already thinking about how to tie Wang Yifan, if you can climb Wang Yifan's tree, it is undoubtedly very beneficial.
Of course, Shen Mu didn't know all this, and it wasn't until three days after the end of the disciple competition that he was taken back to the Azure Taoist Temple by Cen Yubo.
On the way, looking at Cen Yubo's sword technique, Shen Mu no longer had a desire in his eyes, but turned into a calm deep pool, what he wanted to learn now was not what the sword was flying, but the flying sword killing him! The pain that several masters and uncles of the Azure Taoist Temple had inflicted on him, he had recalled it all in his heart these days, and if he had the opportunity, he would repay them one by one in the future.
After arriving at the Azure Taoist Temple, Cen Yubo put Shen Mu outside the main hall, and then instructed him not to tell him about the harvest of the ancient ruins, and promised to give Shen Mu a Qi Condensation Pill every month, of course Shen Mu has no opinion on this, he still has to take this Qi Condensing Pill, otherwise, where to find these precious resources?
After returning to his room, Shen Mu finally let out a heavy sigh, he had been worried about it for the past few days, afraid that Cen Yubo would discover the Qiyao Demon Method, but fortunately, he had been cautious and never moved, and Cen Yubo did not pay too much attention to him.
"Tianqing Daoist, Cen Yubo, Shangguan Yun, the 'kindness' you have inflicted on me Shen Mu, I Shen Mu will definitely repay you in this life!
Shen Mu leaned against the door, his fists clenched, his eyes were even more blood-red, how could he Shen Mu easily forget this moment of hatred? The pent-up emotions of these days erupted at this moment, making Shen Mu almost lose his mind, the hatred buried in his heart was not forgotten, when it broke out, the black flames either burned the enemy in front of him, or, it burned itself completely.
That's it, I don't know how long it took, until the sun waned, Shen Mu woke up from that hatred, when he woke up, both arms were already a little blue and black, it was caused by excessive force, if it wasn't for the support of his half-demon strong body, replaced by someone else, the arm would have been useless a long time ago.
"It's time to find a cultivation method! Among the outer disciples, Xu Hu can consider it, I have some friendship with him, if I come up with some resources in exchange, I think he will definitely agree, but this matter needs to be cautious, and it is safest to wait until late at night. ”
Shen Mu muttered to himself, he chose Xu Hu as the target, he couldn't believe the others, if this matter was discovered, I was afraid that the Azure Dao people would interfere, and in this way, his hopes would be completely shattered.
Three hours later, Shen Mu pushed open his door, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night, there was no moonlight tonight, but there was a strong wind blowing constantly, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a good time to do business!
Half an hour later, Shen Mu found the residence of the outer disciples, who did not have a separate accommodation like him, but eight people shared a large room, and at this time, only one person was still practicing outside the door.
Shen Mu stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask, but Brother Changbei? Shen Mu has something to discuss with Brother Xu Hu, can you report it on your behalf?"
The practitioner stopped his movements and walked in front of Shen Mu, and under his strong muscles, there was a strength comparable to that of a tiger.
"Don't you know? Senior Brother Xu Hu stood out in the disciple competition, and now he is an inner disciple, how can he live with us? I think about it, you didn't participate in the disciple competition at all, so naturally you won't know. ”
Chang Bei's voice was tinged with mockery, he was very contemptuous of Shen Mu's behavior, as a personal disciple, he didn't even have the courage to participate in the disciple competition, and he was so completely wasted, which could be regarded as subverting his cognition.
