No matter how special the situation of the Xingchen Daoist Academy is, it is a Daoist Academy after all, but the competition is more fierce. In the past six months or so, most of the more than 100 disciples recruited by the new department have adapted to the new order.

Ye Fan and Tu Lingqi were the most powerful, and the new disciples from the Chenzhou Academy were all around them, and Nie Qi and Nie Lin also had a group of senior brothers secretly following them.

Mu Wei and Jiang Lingyuan became friends, and there were also more than 20 juniors and sisters behind the two of them.

The Xingchen Daoist Academy will arrange some freshmen to experience every month, and there are a lot of rewards, if you don't join them, there is almost no chance to participate, and a few disciples are not convinced, they will not join them, but also participate in the trial, and as a result, they are all seriously injured, and some even die.

Although that disciple died at the hands of a spirit forging realm cultivator, what the truth was like was for a while, there were different opinions.

Lan Ying participated in an experience, but she had a conflict with Jiang Lingyuan, and she didn't participate since, and was isolated by other brothers and sisters in Jumu Academy, and she didn't even have a girlfriend, and she was always lonely practicing the pipa on Yuequan Mountain in the dark night.

This path is more indifferent and ruthless than the mortal world, the weak have no friends, no one will share the joys and sorrows with you, even your parents, your brothers and sisters, your master, and your brothers will weigh the pros and cons, without the pure and warm feelings of mortals.

It is like an endless dark cold night, only in the farthest sky there is a star symbolizing the fire of eternal life, waiting for you to climb alone through hardships.

Qin Xuan would occasionally look at Lan Ying in the dark, feeling her loneliness and helplessness, and wanted to comfort her, telling her that he was different from others, no matter how long it was, he would be the one worthy of her trust, walking with her, chasing that star.

He didn't.

Because he had more trouble than her, he could only hide in the shadows, observe calmly, collect every piece of information that was useful to him, and always quietly go to the Xingchen Academy in the middle of the night to receive the moon stipends, copy some scriptures and bring them back to the stone house to study and figure out alone, and concentrate on preparing for the year-end exam.

He purifies one or two high-level magic weapons every day, and the speed is very slow, very hidden, and almost does not cause any abnormalities.

The Snake Demon Valley became his secret stronghold, where he worked hard, honed his skills as a pharmacist, arranged some strange small formations everywhere, honed his array attainments, and made ten talismans every day for his own use.

The six branches and seven roots and the ascetic method were also persevering, and at first the Ruyi spear on his back was maintained at a weight of 1,000 catties, and later it was able to be raised to 2,000 catties, traveling 100 miles a day.

Because he rarely communicates with other juniors, he doesn't know where his current level is, but he doesn't care about this either.

Time passed quickly, there were still more than a month before the big exam, and the atmosphere in the entire Star Dao Academy became extremely tense, as if a little sporadic flame could ignite a raging flame.

Late that night, Qin Xuan went to the Xingchen Daoist Academy again, and as usual, he first went to meet Meng Tianji Zhenren, and asked many questions accumulated during this time one by one, and then continued to go to the Taoist Scripture Hall, found three volumes of different scriptures according to the list approved by Meng Zhangyuan, carefully copied them, and prepared to bring them back to the stone house to study.

At this time in the past, there was usually no second person in the Taoist Hall except for the one who was on duty at night.

Tonight was a little special.

Qin Xuan's spiritual sense had already reached more than one hundred and fifty zhang, comparable to the peak of forging spirits, and he could easily detect the traces of Senior Brother Guo Dai, he did not dodge, and continued to copy the scriptures in his hand.

"Hey, you kid is really working hard here. ”

Guo Dai's spiritual sense is not far behind Qin Xuan, and he only discovered Qin Xuan dozens of zhang away, and strode behind him with a smile, "Little junior brother, you said to help me guard the cave, but the people who guarded it are gone." This is not good, I will run away after sharing my spiritual water. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Haihan. Listening to the tone of his words, Qin Xuan knew that Senior Brother Guo Dai was not angry, "I have something at home, so I will deal with it for half a year when I go back, and I will break some of the demonic obstacles in my heart." When I came back, I heard that Senior Brother Mei Huang was chirping, so I simply didn't go back, not wanting to embarrass Senior Brother. ”

"Do you have a good place to go?"

"There is a place in the Snake Demon Valley where I have a way to get in, and the conditions are surprisingly good. ”

"That's okay, it's very close anyway, you leave a few talismans for Lan Ying...... I thought you were killed outside, but a few days ago, I went to Meng Zhangyuan to ask for your news, only to know that you had come back a few months ago. ”

When Guo Dai talked about Lan Ying, he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Is she in trouble?" Qin Xuan knew Lan Ying's pain, it felt bad to be isolated by the strong, he knew it deeply, but he knew how strong she was.

Even if he only looked at her from a distance for a moment every month, he could feel that she was transforming into a nobler in this torment, like the bright moon in the sky.

"Don't worry, you finish burning the scriptures first, and we'll talk in another place. Guo Dai laughed, but his expression was a little solemn.

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, continued to copy the scriptures in his hand word by word, and then took out the other two volumes, unmoved by the outside world, and did everything in his plan by himself.

He actually couldn't say it clearly, but today he made five kinds of seven-star array talismans and handed them over to Meng Tianji for seeing, even if he deliberately left some omissions, Meng Tianji still concluded that he had reached the level of a four-grade talisman master, and specially arranged for him to go to the Taoist Scripture Hall to transcribe the first two volumes of the "Star Escape Rune Array Sutra" and the "Five Elements Inside and Outside Rune Sutra" for the big exam preparation.

Qin Xuan's heart is like a mirror, and it is estimated that most of the questions in this year's Fu Science Examination are in these three volumes of scriptures, and the level of runes recorded in them is very high, and there are only more than ten kinds of spirit runes that can be used in the Xingchen Academy's new science and technology examination.

The questions for the year-end exam are about to come out.

Even though Guo Dai was waiting, Qin Xuan was still unhurried, and he could not make a mistake in transcribing the scriptures, and additionally selected two volumes of scattered scriptures that all disciples had the right to burn, so as to avoid being discovered by Guo Dai in the future.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that Qin Xuan had transcribed all the scriptures and hugged his fist to Senior Brother Guo Dai, "Senior Brother Lao has been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay...... Well, you are really different from other disciples!" Guo Dai didn't sit stupidly and wait, it was too embarrassing, and he borrowed a few volumes of array books to study, even so, he still had to admit that Qin Xuan was a bit unique, and if he was a disciple of other new subjects, he really didn't dare to let him wait overnight.

The two of them left the Taoist courtyard and walked towards Jiuzhang Stream, and halfway through, Guo Dai's heart was shocked, he was originally worried that Qin Xuan would not be able to catch up, so he deliberately only used light exercises and body techniques, and did not use the escape technique, but he couldn't catch up with Qin Xuan.

In a dense forest at the end of the Jiuzhang Stream, Guo Dai stopped, looked at the Yuequan Cave a few miles away with solemn eyes, and sighed, "Senior brother, there is going to be a dispute again, senior brother is afraid that he can't manage it, and Lan Ying refuses to give in!"

"What's the situation?" Qin Xuan was puzzled, he originally thought that Guo Dai would find a way to continue to occupy the Moon Spring Cave for three years, waiting for the next wave of springs.

"I don't know, according to the rules of previous years, the seven concubines and four demons of this sect all take turns to participate in the apprenticeship conference every year, without competition with each other, and each chooses the best disciple. This year was the same, but the Heavenly Pole Courtyard Master suddenly informed us a few days ago that this year it was supposed to be the turn of the Evergreen Courtyard Master, but the Wood Demon Fan had to forcibly participate. In order to avoid accidents, the master of the Tianji Courtyard also decided to intervene and make decisions for the master of the Evergreen Courtyard at a critical moment. ”

Qin Xuan roughly understood, "The two descendants plus the head of the four demons, no matter what conspiracy there is between them, the fact is that this year is a rare opportunity, and the senior brother wants to participate in the apprenticeship conference in advance." ”

Guo Dai nodded and said: "Not only me, but also Ye Kui, Mei Dian and Luo Wei will also participate, in previous years, it was only a one-thirty probability to become a protégé of the fax people, but this year it is a one-tenth probability, and you must fight." What's more, Mei Di and I are in the five-year period, and we can wait for another year at most, and Senior Brother Luo Wei is in the six-year period, so we can't wait any longer. ”

"What does that have to do with Lan Ying?"

"Once we leave the school, we are officially the disciples of the True Transmission, and it is not the category that is exceptional, we disciples are not allowed to keep the cave mansion in the Xingzhu Mountains, and each of us will return to the master's sect, either on the Xingzhu Mountain, or go to the secret realms of each academy. In the surrounding three hundred miles, there are only a dozen truly valuable cave treasures, and the Moon Spring Cave is the most important. ”

"Mei Dian left a back move, wanting to let Jiang Lingyuan's junior brother sit in the Yuequan Cave and keep the six hundred drops of seven-star spiritual water in our Giant Wood Courtyard, the problem is that Lan Ying and Jiang Lingyuan have a feud, Jiang Lingyuan will never keep her, and she will never let her. ”

Qin Xuanzheng felt that this matter was strange and asked, "How did they make a feud, I remember that when they were waiting for results in front of the Trial Hall before, she and Jiang Lingyuan seemed to know each other. ”

"When your group of disciples were training on Xiaojiu Island, Lan Ying was probably a little alone, so she had to form an alliance with a Hanmen disciple of Chenzhou Academy, which resulted in the other party's death on Xiaojiu Island. Lan Ying has avoided talking about this matter since she came back, but I guess this matter may be related to Jiang Lingyuan...... It may also be related to sarcasm. ”

When Guo Dai said this, his mind was quite suspicious, and it seemed that it was difficult to determine the truth, and he added, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the Seven Star Spiritual Water, I heard that Jiang Lingyuan asked for spiritual water, you must know Senior Sister Lan's personality, and you were forced to refine it yourself in a little hurry." ”

"Jiang Lingyuan is a turtle bloodline, Lan Ying is a Kun bloodline, maybe they can feel that they are water systems. Although it is the same sect and the same house, if Jiang Lingyuan thinks that he is respected, Lan Ying should assist him in competing with the others, and give him the Seven Star Spiritual Water to improve his strength, then it would be outrageously wrong. ”

Qin Xuan said lightly, he really knew Lan Ying, this iron princess didn't think she was worse than Jiang Lingyuan, and then asked Guo Dai: "Does Senior Brother have any layout now?"

"Alas, how can I have the energy to take care of these things now, I will hand them over to Mei Di, I thought that Mei Di would not treat Senior Sister Lan badly, but now it seems that this is definitely not the case, and I don't know if the two have a knot. ”

Guo Dai is telling the truth, all his current energy is betting on the apprenticeship conference, and he wants to become the protégé of the master of the Tianji Academy, even if he has the heart to continue to take care of Lan Ying, I am afraid that he does not want to have more rights and wrongs at this time.

It's human nature.

This is an unusually cold and lonely way of cold nights, and Guo Dai is already a rare good person.

"I know, my brother's future is the most important, I'll do my best. "Qin Xuan is not indisputable, he is just different from others, he has learned to enjoy the feeling of forging ahead alone during the Jumu Courtyard period, and now that the matter has come to this, he can't sit back and watch Lan Ying be humiliated and expelled.

He doesn't have many family members and even fewer friends, and each one of them is worth his fight.

"I'm in a very tense situation right now, and I'm concentrating on preparing for the competition for the apprenticeship conference, so I can finally be relieved with your words. Guo Dai breathed a sigh of relief, took out a jade slip from his sleeve and gave it to Qin Xuan, "Our Guo family is a fist and gun, in addition to the heart, there is also a heart, the two complement each other and are indispensable." Before Mei Dian paid the bill, I finished it for him, and gave you the ** gun as 500 spirit crystals, and now the good things come in pairs, and then I will give you this ** palm. If you get these two methods, you will be able to generally experience the essence of ** unity, and in the future, you can enter the Xingchen Cave Heaven and choose the sect to inherit the supernatural powers, and you can choose to repair the Heaven Swallowing Palm and the Heaven Turning Spear that our Guo family offered to the sect. ”

The mind ** gun is broad and profound, Qin Xuan has practiced for a whole year, and he feels that he still has not been able to touch its essence, if he can really master it completely, it will be amazingly powerful.

He accepted the jade slip and hugged his fist to Senior Brother Guo Dai to thank him, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will protect Senior Sister Lan, even if I don't have this thing, I will do my best." ”

"That's really good, I already knew that you were different from other junior disciples. On this road, you and I may fall halfway, or we may die namelessly, silently like a leaf withering, but we will always have a clear conscience. Guo Dai sighed, Jiang Lingyuan and Mu Yan's eating appearance was too ugly, and they could cause death, although they were not investigated, but if they were said to have nothing to do with the death of that disciple, I am afraid that no one would dare to believe it.

In addition to Jiang Mu and the others, Lan Ying is the third person in the know, even a good person like Guo Dai can think of how dangerous Lan Ying is at this time.
