Edgeworth Villa, Grinding Sword Peak.

At the head of a large hall sat a thin man with a jade crown and a long beard, revealing a bit of majesty. This person is Ji Hongxiao, the peak master of the Grinding Sword Peak, who has been in charge of this peak for seventy or eighty years.

At the bottom of him, there was an elegant-looking middle-aged man with a slightly pale face, who was actually a man surnamed Ruan in the "Apprenticeship Pavilion" at the entrance.

Ji Hongxiao raised his head to look at the sky, slowly twisted his beard, as if he was muttering to himself, "Tongxu, I have been cultivating beginner disciples for the sect since I Mo Jian Peak, and you have been staying in the Chuangong Pavilion for decades, and it is really hard." What's even more rare is that your homework has not been left behind for a day, which is very gratifying for the teacher. ”

Ruan Tongxu hurriedly said: "Being able to share the worries of the master is really a matter within the disciple's share, how dare you take credit." In fact, the secular affairs of the Gong Pavilion are not heavy, although the time for meditation and cultivation is less, but the time for contemplating the heart and exercises has greatly increased. ”

Ji Hongxiao seemed to be very satisfied with his answer, and smiled: "If you think so, I'm relieved." A few months later, the selection of personal disciples began, I wonder what the situation of the Apprenticeship Pavilion has been in the past few decades?"

Ruan Tongxu thought for a moment and immediately replied: "In the past forty years, the Chuangong Pavilion has accepted a total of 4,681 spirit children, of which 2,362 have cultivated to the middle stage of qi refining before the age of eighteen, and have been accepted as inner disciples by various peaks. Among them, there are a total of 289 successful condensate people, and only 21 people in the condensate realm......" Talking about the cultivation of the sect's disciples, this person is like a few treasures, and Ji Hongxiao nodded frequently.

Then, he said, "Among the twenty-one disciples of the Condensate Middle Realm, Lei Jian Peak accounts for a maximum of four, and Gu Jian Peak has at least one person. ”

Ji Hongxiao bowed his head and said: "Tongxu has a heart! There are nearly 300 condensate disciples, a slight increase compared to the past, and I can also explain to the master." ”

His face was slightly relaxed, and he glanced at Ruan Tongxu twice, "I see that your breath is condensed and your mana is full, it seems that you are already in the realm of perfection, I will go to the main peak later, discuss it with Cai Zhangjiao, and let Lao Qi take your place as soon as the matter of the disciple is over!"

Ruan Tongxu hurriedly thanked him, he was about to find a suitable opportunity to explain the situation, so that he could prepare to break through the Jindan Realm with peace of mind, which saved him a lot of words.

Ji Hongxiao's expression moved slightly, put a jade bottle on the low table next to his hand, and said, "There is a jade Nan Dan here, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work for many years!"

Ruan Tongxu hurriedly bowed, took it solemnly, and said happily: "Thank you Master for the reward!" He has been paying attention to the things that are preparing for a breakthrough, Yunan Dan is an auxiliary medicine that hits the bottleneck, although it cannot be compared with Heyuan Dan, but it is already a rare elixir.

Ji Hongxiao was stunned, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he hesitated: "I heard that Wan Qingsong of Lei Jianfeng is talented and intelligent, and his cultivation is diligent, do you have any impression?"

"Well, that's true! When he was in the Gong Transmission Pavilion, he was already very good, and at the age of fourteen, he had already cultivated to the middle stage of Qi refining, and was finally admitted to the Thunder Sword Peak by Senior Brother Fan Ming, and now he is already in the middle stage of condensation. ”

Ji Hongxiao nodded and said, "Senior Brother Sikong has already accepted five personal disciples, Wan Qingsong is so good, I am a little interested." ”

Ruan Tongxu hurriedly said: "The master's eyes are like a torch, this son is indeed the best choice." He knew that the master had always been strict with his own disciples, and so far he had only used two places.

Ji Hongxiao paused slightly, and said: "I don't know what other outstanding disciples there are among them, although I like Wan Qingsong, but other people also have a great chance." ”

Ruan Tongxu's heart tightened slightly, and said: "The master is very worried, in addition to him, there are Tang Ye'an of Feiyu Peak, Shi Yilan of Shuangdie Peak, and Luo Cheng of Hongbei Peak, these people are all the best in this batch of disciples, and their cultivation is all in the condensation realm. Most of the other Middle Realm disciples were older or had a poor foundation. ”

The foundation in his mouth is not good, and most of them are people who blindly focus on realm improvement and have mediocre sword skills. Or a disciple who has taken a large amount of pills for a long time and forcibly improved his realm.

Since the Imperial Sword Villa is a sword cultivator, it naturally pays attention to the cultivation of sword techniques, if you only rely on the cultivation realm to choose your own disciples, what else do you need to select and compete?

Ji Hongxiao nodded and said: "I have also heard a little about the three people you said, the first two are probably difficult to fight, with Senior Brother Zhai Zhi's character, he is afraid that the outstanding disciples of Fei Yu Peak are not easy to compete with." And Senior Sister Wang's Red Lotus Sword Technique is mostly suitable for women to practice, and Shi Yilan is afraid that she has already been in her favor. As for Luo Cheng, it can indeed be observed, and if there is a chance, it can be considered as a secondary choice. ”

Ruan Tongxu praised: "The master has insight into everything, and the disciple's affairs are thoughtful, and the disciple admires it. After speaking, his eyes flashed slightly, and he stopped talking.

His slight change did not escape Ji Hongxiao's eyes, and the latter smiled faintly: "Tongxu seems to have something to say?"

Ruan Tongxu sneered: "Actually...... In fact, the disciple had only heard about this matter, and he had not distinguished the truth from the false, for fear that he would say it rashly and affect the master's judgment. ”

"Oh, what's the matter? ”

"Recently, it has been rumored that there is a disciple named Liu Yiwen who is very good, and he is a disciple of Shen Zhaodong's junior disciple of Yuquan Peak. I still have some impressions of him, it was a spirit boy sent from the Qingfeng Temple back then. Ruan Tongxu seemed to be reminiscing and spoke calmly.

"What's so special about this son?"

"A few days ago, when I went to Shuangdie Peak to talk to Senior Sister Ju Ya, I heard about his deeds. Two months ago, one of Ju Ya's disciples went to southern Xinjiang with Liu Yiwen on a mission...... "Ruan Tongxu told what he had heard.

After Ji Hongxiao heard this, the pupils in his eyes shrank slightly, and he shook his head and said: "As what you said is true, how can this person's sword skills be comparable to you? That demon clan boy is a famous young master of the Yuhe clan, but I have witnessed this person's magical powers." It's unbelievable that a disciple who has just reached the middle stage of condensate can compete with him!" He couldn't accept it for a while, thinking that maybe the junior disciple was exaggerating.

Ruan Tongxu echoed: "Yes! When the disciple heard about it at that time, he was also taken aback, and he had some doubts in his heart, feeling that this matter was not very credible. Therefore, I didn't dare to mention it to the master easily. When he first heard about this, he was shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and there have been few rumors about Liu Yiwen in the sect, and suddenly he became even more suspicious.

Ji Hongxiao's expression calmed down again, and said, "If this son participates in the selection, it doesn't hurt to pay attention." Senior Brother Yan is obsessed with the way of heaven, and he is not particularly concerned about the matter of passing on his disciples. The two put down Liu Yiwen's matter and talked about the disciples of other peaks, which took more than an hour.

After a while, Ruan Tongxu took the initiative to leave, leaving Ji Hongxiao to sit alone in the hall and meditate.
