"Quan'er, please get up!"

When Lin Quan had just finished the big salute and had not yet gotten up, he felt a sudden white shadow flash in front of him, and he smelled a dark fragrance like a hollow valley orchid in his nose, and then his arms were supported by a pair of jade hands.

He subconsciously looked up, only to see Pan Xiaofeng falling from the bamboo couch at some point, standing quietly in front of him, looking at him with a light smile.

"Thank you for your love!"

Lin Quan's heart trembled, and he immediately lowered his head stiffly, not daring to look at the pretty face that was close at hand.

Under the light support of the jade hand, he still maintained his hands in fists, slowly got up in a posture of holding it high above the ground, and then gently took three steps back, and respectfully shook it to the end again.

A hint of blush inadvertently flashed on Pan Xiaofeng's jade face.

Since she entered the immortal cultivation world for so many years, she has always cultivated alone, except for a few maids selected from the family, she has never accepted disciples, and no outsider has ever entered the "Hidden Sword Valley". For a while, he only cared about the gift of master and apprentice, and forgot the difference between men and women on both sides.

Lin Quan was so respectful and courteous, she was very happy to see it.

"Quan'er, come with me. ”

Pan Xiaofenglian moved lightly, gave a command, and took Lin Quan to an elegantly decorated house at the back of the hall.

This house is three or four feet square, with an incense case on the front, and a simple picture scroll hanging on the wall behind the incense case.

Lin Quan took a closer look and found that on the scroll was a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a purple Taoist costume and in a very strong spirit. Although the painting appeared to be just an ordinary object with no spiritual power, as soon as he stepped into the house, he could feel that the person in the painting had a supreme power, and a strong pressure was coming towards him, making people feel awe at the sight of it.

"The person in the painting is the ancestor of my Pan family, and he is also the elder of the previous generation of my Purple Void Sect. ”

Pan Xiaofeng didn't say a word since she entered this house, and it wasn't until she respectfully paid homage to the people in the scroll that she turned around lightly and said solemnly:

"Now that you have officially entered my door, you naturally want to come and worship your ancestors. ”

The ancestor of the Pan family, and he was still the elder of the previous generation of the Purple Void Sect? Doesn't this mean that his master ancestor is actually a Yuanying monk!

Lin Quan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the scroll, and completed a series of etiquette under the guidance of Pan Xiaofeng.

Until he returned to the front hall again, Lin Quan's heart was still confused.

Originally, he thought that it was already a blessing for him to be able to worship a Ning Dan monk as a teacher, but he didn't expect that there would be a Yuanying Patriarch. Although this old man has been sitting for many years, as his descendant, how can he say that his net worth will be richer than that of ordinary Ning Dan elders, right?

"By the way, Quan'er, the last time I left as a teacher was more than two years, and until now, I haven't been able to prepare a suitable condensation period exercise for you. Let's talk about it, what requirements do you have for the exercises in the condensation period, as long as it is for the teacher, you can choose it. ”

After a long time, it wasn't until Lin Quan finally came back to his senses that Pan Xiaofeng said the second thing with a smile.

"Condensate period exercises, didn't the master already let Xiaomei hand it over to the disciple last time?"

Lin Quan was a little puzzled, although he couldn't look down on the two ordinary exercises she gave him after he had the "Five Elements True Solution", but after all, they were also genuine condensation exercises, and they could be cultivated until the early stage of the condensation pill.

"Hehe, of course that doesn't count. ”

Pan Xiaofeng smiled and waved his hand, "How can that kind of ordinary exercise be worthy of my personal disciples? ”

Lin Quan sneered and did not answer.

"Considering that your spiritual root attributes are relatively average, for the time being, the teacher has selected several Five Elements exercises with their own characteristics, all of which are high-level exercises, so let's see if they are suitable first. ”

Pan Xiaofeng didn't care, and threw out seven jade slips with a "bang". It looks like she's been prepared for a long time.

Lin Quan was quite grateful, his master really didn't make a mistake. Although she didn't care much about it when she was a registered disciple before, once she officially started, she still showed great kindness, and even took the trouble to choose exercises for herself.

Holding these jade slips in his hand, Lin Quan immediately sank his spiritual sense into it no longer and looked at it carefully. In any case, this is all selected by Brother Ning Dan, even if he really can't use it, it's good to have a long insight.

In less than half an hour, he turned over all the exercises, especially the advantages and disadvantages of various exercises. It's just that these high-level exercises, which are already considered high-quality in the eyes of ordinary condensation monks, are still a little bit of a chicken rib for him.

Because although the cultivation difficulty of these exercises is less than that of the Five Elements True Solution, the effect is too poor. In particular, he already has the "Little Five Elements Spirit Body", and he can already start cultivating some secret techniques related to the "Little Five Elements Divine Light" during the condensation period. With the support of this secret technique, both the depth of spiritual power and the power of the Five Elements Spell will be superior to ordinary exercises. He certainly didn't have to go after that.

"Why, it looks like these exercises don't suit your heart. ”

Pan Xiaofeng opened her eyes and looked at Lin Quan with a smile, his hesitant expression just now was completely clear to her.

"Master, disciple ......"

"Okay, you don't have to be nervous, it's a good thing to have a higher pursuit, but the most important thing is to do what you can according to your own situation, and don't blindly pursue the top exercises. ”

Pan Xiaofeng was not dissatisfied with this, and continued after casually reminding him:

"Well, I'll give you three days, during which time you'll be free to look for suitable exercises in my library. After three days, you can come back here with the exercises you like. ”

"Master Xie, disciple...... Noted down!"

Lin Quan didn't expect his master to be so generous, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Remember, there's only one type of quantity, so you'll have to think about it. ”

Pan Xiaofeng finally reminded Lin Quan and personally took Lin Quan to the library, and after she opened the ban, Lin Quan went in.

............

Three days later, Lin Quan returned to the house on time with a simple jade slip in his hand.

"Earth Sword Technique?"

Pan Xiaofeng recognized the jade slip at a glance and looked at Lin Quan with some consternation.

"This should be the Sword Cultivation Secret Book created by the Ancient Monk, and it is still an incomplete fragment, are you sure you want to choose this?"

"It's Master. ”

Lin Quan arched his hand and said with a wry smile: "The disciple knows that the spiritual root qualification is poor, and no matter what kind of Five Elements Exercises he practices, he will only become mediocre. Therefore, earlier, the disciple had changed to the 'Heavenly Demon Floating Slaughter Technique'. And although this 'Earth Sword Technique' is incomplete, it also belongs to the body refining exercises, and there are many subtle supernatural powers that are very suitable for use with the Heavenly Demon Floating Slaughter Technique. So ......"

"Heavenly Demon Floating Slaughter Technique with Earth Sword Technique?Hey, that's a good idea! It's just ...... Changing your cultivation technique halfway through will make your cultivation speed even slower, have you really thought about it?"

"Yes, the disciple has already thought about it, please fulfill it!"

"That's it, since you have chosen your own path, I won't say much about being a teacher, I hope you can do it yourself. ”

Pan Xiaofeng sighed lightly, although she was not optimistic about Lin Quan's choice, but since she was already majoring in sword dao, she was not too reluctant to her disciple to cultivate the sword technique first.

At most, let's see your entry later, if you are really talented, you can point out the way of sword cultivation, Pan Xiaofeng thought.

Next, Pan Xiaofeng stayed in Lin Quan for another five days, carefully explained his cultivation experience, and entered a paragraph of interpretation and his own experience in practicing the sword book in the jade slip of the earth sword technique.

After that, Lin Quan, who was satisfied, took his leave and left.

Back in Baishuiju, he first ran around for several days, then plunged into the Purple Flame Palace, and only returned to his cave mansion after three full months.

............

Since then, the doors of Baishuiju have been closed for more than five years.

During this period, Lin Quan went out a total of twice.

Once, when he was in retreat for less than two years, he received news from Lian Bingyun and went to Dajin Country.

It was only when he finally arrived at Lian's house that he realized that things were not as he imagined, and Lian Bingyun was very embarrassed to hand over a mortal corpse. It is said that when the children of the Lian family finally found Yan Lie's whereabouts, but accidentally arrived a step late, this reckless bandit leader had already received the news, and in despair, he had already committed suicide.

Lin Quan didn't know Yan Lie, and the only basis in his hands was a portrait of Yan Lie from more than thirty years ago that he had obtained from a local official. After repeated comparisons, he was disheartened, so he could only take the enemy's head back to the old site of Linjiazhuang to pay respects.

After that, his will was depressed for a long time, and although the revenge was avenged, he could no longer understand why Yan Lie would kill the Lin family.

As for the other time, three months ago, at the request of his teacher Pan Xiaofeng, he led the Qi Condensation disciples of the Purple Void Sect to a trip to the Gravel Wasteland, because unconsciously, the once-in-a-decade Blue Dragon Secret Realm Great Trial had come again.

In this Qinglong Trial, there is still no major change in the rankings of the Three Kingdoms and Twelve Gates.

The only thing that made Lin Quan a little worried was that he heard that this time the southern countries had finally conquered the three-storied pagoda in the "Xuanwu Secret Realm" and successfully obtained the inheritance orb.

For such news, Lin Quan felt very uneasy in his heart.

He inquired about the situation in Black Rock City through various connections almost immediately, and the result was exactly the same as he expected, almost not long after the secret realm trial ended, the "corpse cave" in the Ghost King Palace had changed, and many ghost-level zombies broke through the lower seals one after another, and began to show their hideous minions.

Fortunately, the Council of Elders in Black Rock City had long anticipated this situation, and they decisively increased the training time of the disciples of each faction again, and sent a message to each faction asking for help.

For this kind of major event that has a bearing on the western part of the entire Four Phases Continent, the high-level leaders of the four countries have attached great importance to it, and not long ago, each faction urgently sent more than 100 disciples to reinforcements. I heard that under this vigorous sweep, the ghosts on the first to fourth floors of the Ghost King Hall finally settled down a lot, which finally made the monks of all factions breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that Lin Quan doesn't think so, he always has a feeling of "the mountain wind is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", under the influence of this inexplicable crisis, he doesn't stop for a moment and works hard to cultivate.

No matter what happens, only by increasing your own strength can you control your own destiny!
