Wen Tao said happily: "The master is back! The master is back!" After speaking, he took Liu Yiwen's hand and walked quickly towards the cave.

Liu Yiwen was overjoyed and said: "Really? Great!"

He hadn't seen his master for seven or eight years, not even when he was officially introduced, which made him very depressed. This time, when the master comes back, he must ask him about the problems of cultivation, he really has too many unclear points, and he is three points faster when he thinks about it.

When a few people came to the side hall, they saw the master and the two chatting. One of them is Senior Sister Ye, and the other is one of his senior brothers, surnamed Feng Mingshi. This man is tall, handsome, with a beard, and looks like a high-roller. However, Liu Yiwen has little contact with this person.

Shen Zhaodong smiled: "Wen Tao and Yiwen are also here!"

The two came to the master and saluted: "I've seen the master!"

"Well, sit down!"

The two of them took their seats on the wooden chairs on the right. Liu Yiwen nodded at Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Feng opposite, which was regarded as a greeting.

Shen Zhaodong said with a slight apology on his face: "I have been away from the sect for more than three years, and I have neglected to give you guidance on your cultivation. ”

Feng Shi hurriedly said: "Master's words are serious, all of you have remembered the master's teachings, and the matter of cultivation has not fallen for a moment. ”

Shen Zhaodong laughed and said, "You can pick up good things and say, I don't know how well you cultivate!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Shiyi's face was flushed and he said, "This... The apprentice is stupid and stupid, and he is still slower than his fellow disciples. However, the disciples do have the intention to cultivate. ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh when they saw Feng Shi being embarrassed. Then Shen Zhaodong looked at the four of them, and then said, "Wen Tao is almost at the late stage of consummation, I don't know how the preparation of the condensate has been?"

Wen Tao's face turned straight and said, "Master, the apprentice is going to participate in the sect competition in four years to see if he can have a chance to enter the top ten." ”

Liu Yiwen was taken aback, he had already understood the competition in this sect: the requirements for registration were not high, and all disciples under the age of thirty-five who had cultivated in the late stage of Qi refining could participate. The top ten disciples who are selected from the competition will be rewarded by the sect. But in addition to magic weapons, talismans, and immortal coins, there is also one thing in this reward, which is Ning Yuan Dan. The vast majority of the disciples who signed up went for this thing, after all, this is a necessary thing for condensation!

However, although Ning Yuan Dan is attractive, the competition is also quite fierce. Once every five years, as long as there are some powerful disciples in the sect, they will participate. Those disciples with ordinary strength and who are almost old will also give it a go, even if there is little hope, there is still a silver line after all. There are hundreds of people who sign up each time, and it is not easy to break into the top 10 and get rewards.

Although Ning Yuan Dan was an elixir taken by Qi refining disciples, there were several rare elixirs used. Due to the huge base of Qi refining disciples, the demand is also very large, and there is often no market. Although some of these elixirs will be cultivated by the major sects, they will grow slowly, and they will not be able to enter the medicine without two or three hundred years. Therefore, the output of Ning Yuan Dan is not much, and the big competition is held every five years in order to select outstanding juniors to give them a chance to condense and become the mainstay of the sect.

Although Shen Zhaodong was in the realm of condensation, the Ning Yuan Pill was also a rare elixir for him, so he couldn't help his disciples much. It is not easy to give one or two elixirs, not to mention that there are more than a dozen of his disciples, so this burden is too heavy.

Shen Zhaodong raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you have to hurry up and practice the sword technique diligently, this top ten position is not so easy to obtain." "After all, with Wen Tao's strength, it is not nine out of ten.

Wen Tao hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, master! ”

After asking Wen Tao, Shen Zhaodong looked at Senior Sister Ye again, and said with a smile: "Xiumei, you are also at the peak of the mid-stage realm." How is it? Are there any difficulties in cultivation?"

Senior Sister Ye smiled: "Master Xie cares, I feel that the bottleneck has loosened recently, and the breakthrough should be imminent." ”

Shen Zhaodong nodded and said happily: "Not bad! Yes! If you have any questions, you can always ask me." ”

At this time, Ye Xiumei looked at Wen Tao and hesitated: "Master, there is something I want to report to you." ”

Shen Zhaodong saw that the two seemed to be hesitating, and frowned slightly: "If you have anything, just say it!"

Wen Tao sighed lightly and got up and said, "I took the lead in this matter, let me tell you! More than half a year ago, I took over the task of going to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range to collect fire jade spider silk..."

Wen Tao spent a cup of tea recounting the events of the last mission, and when Shen Zhaodong heard them enter the depths of the Hundred Beast Mountain to collect medicine, his face darkened. The more he listened, the more shocked he became, his brows tightened, especially when Jiang Shanhuai appeared, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he sighed softly.

After Wen Tao finished speaking, he stood there with his head down, and he didn't dare to come out, looking like he was punished and resentful.

Shen Zhaodong looked at him and said angrily, "The depths of the Hundred Beast Mountain are also places where you can go. You are alone, and there are a few more classmates. If something happens, can you afford it?"

Liu Yiwen and Senior Sister Ye were also beating drums in their hearts at this time, but it was impossible for them to hide this matter, after all, there were Li Mingzhu and Sun Huo at that time. It's better to take the initiative to say it now than to pursue it afterwards.

There was silence in the side hall for a while.

After a while, Shen Zhaodong said sharply: "Although the Five Flame Grass is good, do you know how much risk it takes? I think that just a demon avoidance bead can enter and exit safely, you are too whimsical! There are so many kinds of demon beasts in the Hundred Beast Mountain that their strength is unpredictable, even we dare not go too deep." I don't know how thick the sky is!"

He was really annoyed by the reckless actions of several people, and after glancing around angrily, even Feng Shi, who was not involved, was silent.

Liu Yiwen and Ye Xiumei quickly stood up and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes. He sighed in his heart, he didn't want to collect medicine at the beginning, but he was forced by the situation to do it. The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, which made him very helpless.

After a while, Senior Sister Ye secretly glanced at Feng Shi beside her.

Feng Shi comprehended and boldly persuaded: "Master, if you are angry, you should dissipate your anger first." A few of them were also confused for a while, after all, Ning Yuandan's temptation was too great. Now that they know they're wrong, forgive them!"

The three of them said in unison: "Master!

Shen Zhaodong was annoyed that they didn't know the danger and acted rashly, but he actually cared about them. The difficulty of condensation was also deeply experienced by myself at the beginning. Thinking of this, he sighed and said earnestly: "In the future, we must think twice about dangerous things, and don't be greedy for temporary gains. There is a long way to cultivate immortals, and prudence is the long-term way. ”

The three of them hurriedly bowed down.

This situation is in the past, and Senior Brother Feng picked some interesting things to adjust his dull atmosphere, which caused Shen Zhaodong to laugh. After a while, there was a cheerful atmosphere in the house.

Liu Yiwen looked at the dark clouds just now, and after a while, the clouds cleared and dispersed. I secretly thought in my heart that this Senior Brother Feng is really a wonderful person!

At this time, Ye Xiumei asked tentatively: "Master, that senior Jiang's cultivation is unfathomable, he claims to be an elder of the sect, but we have never heard anyone talk about it!"

The other two echoed, their faces puzzled.
