Chapter 293: Return

As soon as the three light gates opened, the condensation stage stewards of the various factions rushed up a few steps one after another, staring at the light gates without blinking.

Also, now is the time for the disciples of the trial to return. Those Ning Dan ancestors can rely on their identities and pretend to ignore them, but they can't.

Everyone who can survive until now and return smoothly will be a good talent, and if they can bring back valuable treasures, they will be the elites who can be cultivated by the sect in the future. These elite disciples are completely worthy of their attention or co-optation in advance as those who are in charge. What's more, the more the disciples of this sect gain, the more share the sect can get in the next ten years, which is closely related to their interests.

In a few moments, a shiny bald head emerged from one of the portals.

No way, since the height of the portal is only five feet, for a tall person, you have to bow your head and bend down to get through the portal smoothly.

It wasn't until this person straightened up and looked around with a look of joy on his face that everyone could see that this was a middle-aged monk wearing a gray robe with a meaty face.

I saw that his body was covered with scars, his tattered clothes were stained with blood everywhere, and his left arm was twisted and drooping unnaturally, obviously after a hard battle in the secret realm, he was able to get out.

When the middle-aged monk saw the situation outside, he immediately walked quickly to the great monk of Mingjing Temple and bowed deeply, and then silently walked behind the two abbots of the condensation stage and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

The monk of the Ning Dan period, who was like Maitreya Buddha, nodded with a smile.

He could see at a glance that although this disciple was not lightly injured, he was in a very good mental state, and the joy on his face that could not be concealed and the several bulging storage bags on his waist showed that the trip had been good. That's enough!

In this regard, the rest of the Ning Dan monks had their own expressions, like Wang Shizu and Bao Ding Sanren, who were calm and calm, not happy or sad. Those who had a good relationship with the Mingjing Temple voted in approval, while Pang Yu of the Black Blood Abyss and the yellow-haired monk of the Evil Ghost Dao snorted lightly, rolled their eyes widely, and looked very dissatisfied in their hearts.

Immediately afterward, three more disciples successfully walked out of the portal and successfully returned from the secret realm. They are Xiao Hengyu of the Iron Sword Gate, Konghui of the Mingjing Temple, Futu of the Demon Domain, and Zhang Banyue.

As soon as these elite disciples who were pinned on the hopes of their respective sects were immediately valued by the three Ning Dan Ancestors as soon as they returned, their eyes fell on them for the first time, wordlessly conveying any information.

Among them, the ancestor of the Iron Sword Gate was the most excited, he got up with a "Huo", his eager eyes stared at Xiao Hengyu for a moment, until this son nodded affirmatively, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, praised a few words loudly, and then sat down again with great satisfaction.

This old man's performance made many colleagues look sideways, and they seemed to have guessed something in their hearts.

Immediately after, when the Demon Domain Floating Slaughter and the Ancestors of the Mingjing Temple also showed ecstatic expressions, they finally couldn't help but be moved, and everyone's eyes frequently swept towards these three juniors in the condensation period, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

The eyes of the two condensate stewards of the Iron Sword Gate suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly trotted all the way to Xiao Hengyu's body, and they asked for warmth for a while, showing the appearance of a kind elder. This made Xiao Hengyu extremely uncomfortable, and he humbly returned the salute again and again, but in the end, he couldn't resist the love of the two "elders", so he had to return to his own territory with their hand-in-hand support to get out.

After another stick of incense, a large number of people came out of the portal again this time, and all of them were the most powerful elites of each faction.

Among them, Ruan Hongyan, Hu Yue, Xuan Yeyi, as well as Lian Bingyun, Lei Ruolan and Yu Lingfeng are all included.

At this point, among the eleven people in the two groups who all successfully obtained the Confucian Inheritance Orb, only "Yue Tianying" and Qi Chuanxin were left and did not return. It seems that these people with heavy treasures all have the same idea, that is, to bring the treasures back as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

The smooth return of Hu Yue and Yu Lingfeng made Zou Zixia and Pang Yu all full of confidence, and glared at each other without giving in, their expressions full of pride and joy. As for Ruan Hongyan, she bit her red lips lightly, acting a little unnatural. Fortunately, Qian Xinyi gave her a look at the right time, and finally put this woman at ease.

The return of such a large number of glorious disciples undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, especially since they had made great contributions, and even more so that all the stewards of the condensation stage cared for them.

As a result, the disciples who returned next were themselves left out in the cold. These ordinary disciples, who were all wounded, could only get a lukewarm "hard work" from the adults in charge, and then retreated gloomily and silently found a place to sit down and heal their wounds.

The warmth and coldness of the immortal cultivation world were evident at this moment, but everyone had nothing to say.

In any case, those of them who can come back alive are already considered lucky, although they are not as good as those elites who are destined to be glorified, but they are much better than the unlucky ghosts who will never return.

After more than an hour, when the Ziyun Twin Couples of the Purple Void Sect, the Second Son of Xinyun of the Yuqing Sect, the Leng Tianhu of the Xuanling Sect, the Sha Daoyou of the Evil Ghost Dao, and the Jin Daoyou of the Thousand Machine Pavilion also returned from the secret realm one after another, the most powerful elite disciples of each faction basically returned.

At this time, Master Wang and Master Pan of the Purple Void Gate glanced at each other, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on their faces. They didn't understand why Qi Chuanxin hadn't returned for a long time. On the other side, the Ning Dan Ancestor of the Thousand Machine Pavilion also frowned a little, probably also feeling puzzled by Yue Tianying's lack of return.

At the same time, in a rudimentary underground stone chamber, Lin Quan was pranayama with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the chronometer, and after hearing the sound, he exhaled lightly and slowly opened his eyes.

The battle with Qi Chuanxin a few times ago was too dangerous, especially the final blow of the Ice Moon Blade almost put his life in danger, even if he swallowed the Three Essence Jade Spirit Pill, he could only heal his injuries, but it didn't have much effect on the depleted spiritual power.

In order not to be regarded as a "rabbit" by those who "guarded the plant" when he returned, he immediately used the earth escape talisman seal to sneak into the ground after leaving the black mud swamp, opened up a stone room at random, and meditated silently. It wasn't until just now that he finally recovered about half of his spiritual power.

It's only been a little over an hour since the portal opened, and it usually lasts five to six hours before the portal closes on its own. There was enough time for him to go through all the unfinished business.

Lin Quan reached out and took five storage bags that were full, and a trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes. These are all good things collected by Qi Chuanxin.

After sorting them out, he harvested a large amount of spirit stones and various spirit grasses and materials, as well as a number of first-order runes and magic weapons. In addition to the spiritual grass that was carefully placed by him, those ordinary goods were all thrown into the Taiji space by him.

At this point, he had only a few truly good things left in front of him.

First of all, it was naturally the rune treasure Ice Moon Blade and the beast soul talisman sealed with the golden-winged bird. These are all good things that you can't necessarily buy with spirit stones.

The second is a small spiritual bell, three pseudo-spiritual weapons and an old jade slip.

There was also a reason why he put a jade slip together with a spiritual weapon. Because the jade slip recorded a secret technique called "Hidden Spirits", he was very interested in this secret technique that could perfectly hide his tracks. As long as you learn this secret technique, you will be able to play no worse role than a spiritual weapon in the future.

Finally, he held a small golden bead in his left hand.

After looking at it a few times, he suddenly showed a shocked expression. Then he flipped his right palm and took out a jade bead. After careful comparison, it was found that the two were exactly the same except for the color.

Luck won't be so good. Could it be that this Senior Brother Qi has also obtained the Confucian inheritance like himself?

Lin Quan was in a trance, and he swallowed lightly before putting away the two inheritance beads together. This kind of thing is very wonderful, Lei Ruolan said that this is a one-time space magic weapon, and only Ning Dan Monk has the ability to open it. For him now, he can only hide it.

After doing all this, he found a no-man's land again, released several large bowls of essence blood, and made all those scorpion eggs and jade falcon eggs under the contract technique. It is then incorporated into the Tai Chi space.

Finally, with a pale face, he took out two ordinary small beasts from a spirit beast bag. They look like minks but not mink, rats and not rats, and they are the "sniffing spirit mink rats" used by Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Qi to track him.

As early as after Senior Brother Zhou said the characteristics of "100 days of smoke", he vaguely guessed that it was Manager Ma who did it to him, and felt that the matter was not over. Later, when he met the Cold Sky Tiger, he happened to have an idea and exchanged various spirit beast materials that were good at tracking with him, including some brief introductions to the sniffing spirit sable.

The reason why he was able to detect Qi Chuanxin's arrival before was also because he woke up when he noticed the sudden strange performance of the mink in the spirit beast bag. Because these two mink rats happen to be a male and female pair. They can smell each other's body odor when they are close to a certain distance, and exhibit strange behaviors that want to be close.

"You two little things listen to me. Now I will perform a contract spell on each of you, and if you are willing to accept the contract to become my spiritual favor, of course you will be happy, if you refuse...... Then don't blame me for being ruthless, and I can only kill the killer in order to keep my secret. ”

"Now I'll give you a stick of incense to think about it!"

After muttering to the two little minks after saying this, Lin Quan took care of himself and arranged an ordinary contract circle on the ground, and then looked at them coldly.

Originally, he didn't want to bother with this thought, and it was most convenient to kill them directly. However, considering their ability to track the enemy dozens of miles away with the "Hundred Days of Smoke", they were a little excited, so they were ready to try it once.

"Squeak ......"

A pair of mink rats staggered together, staring at the human monk in horror, but in the end they gave in to their murderous eyes.

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

An hour later, the blue portal suddenly flickered, and a young monk in a purple shirt hurriedly got out.

This person has an ordinary appearance, his clothes are in tatters, and he is Lin Quan, who arrived all the way after that. However, from his chaotic aura and pale and bloodless face, it can be seen that he has not had a good time in the past fifteen days, but he still managed to escape the secret realm at the last moment.
