Chapter 17: The Year of Jiachen

Linghe City is located in a crescent-shaped bay at the corner of the northwest coast of Chenzhou Island, facing the sea in the west, the beach is silvery white and long, and the other three sides are surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are winding and green.

The east of the ten-mile giant city is the Xingsu Mountain, the south of the city is the Yuequan Cave and the land, the mountain is dangerous, the cave canyon is like a cloud, the north of the city is the Baizhang Mountain that stretches for more than ten miles, the Xingchen Taoist Institute is located on the mountain ridge that is 100 zhang high, the 100 palaces are continuous into a piece, the line is like a mountain city, the high and low levels are distinct.

On the last day, as many as 2,000 disciples came to sign up, and everyone waited in line.

Qin Xuan came a little late, so he could only line up at the back of the line, looking at the magnificent scenery from a distance, Shi Huan was very patient with him, and explained his experience.

Shi Huan only participated in the trial at the beginning of spring last year, and he didn't pass the first level, but he heard a lot of experience and know-how from other junior brothers.

Qin Xuan listened very seriously, looked at the big snake in front of him from time to time, and inadvertently saw Qin Chuan's figure in the crowd.

Qin Chuan also has more than a dozen senior brothers from the Jumu Daoist Academy, all of whom have been in the top fifty blood refining minor cultivators in the past few years, and there are all famous brothers and sisters in the Jumu Daoist Academy, and Qin Yan is also there.

After all, she is a gorgeous girl who likes to be coquettish, and her family has a little money to spare, she is very popular among that group of senior brothers, and there are several senior brothers in the top ten seats who secretly fight for her.

Qin Chuan knows this peach-faced snake-hearted cousin well, and in public, he has always kept a little distance from her and has not talked.

Qin Xuan had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know if Qin Chuan gave up the recommendation seat, or if there was another change, he was only a few dozen steps away from the group of people, and quietly listened to their conversation.

"There are too many people vying for places this year, right?"

"There's no way, Chen Nian has always been very special, not to mention that this year is the most special Jiachen year, there must be some real family geniuses who want to win this year's new champion, naturally there are many people who want to enter the Xingchen Academy in the same class as these geniuses, and they will be the same senior brothers in the future, and it is easy to become someone else's henchman. ”

"That's just one aspect of the story. Most of the true people of the Tianzi Sect have recruited a group of disciples in recent years, so there are more and more people who want to squeeze into the Star Academy in the past two years. Our group was born at the right time, and if we can be selected as disciples by those concubines, we will leap to the sky. ”

"No wonder there are so many people!"

In the long snake team of more than 2,000 people, most of the disciples are sitting cross-legged, cultivating their qi and meditating, and there are also some disciples who are noisy and talking, and the dozens of disciples of the Jumu Daoist Academy, probably because of Qin Yan's teasing from time to time, are the most noisy.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Qin Xuan took out the green gauze cloak he had bought in Linghe City before and covered his face.

It was rare for so many blood refining minor cultivators to gather together, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Xuan quietly unfolded his spiritual sense to sense the blood fire of the people around him, exercise his Heavenly Dao expertise, and comprehend more knowledge and experience.

He first judged Qin Chuan's bloodline, and the result was consistent with his prediction, it should be a very powerful Jiao bloodline, no wonder he was evaluated as a "superior talent" by several real people in charge.

Senior Sister Lan Ying, who has been in the first seat of the Jumu Academy for two consecutive years, is the Kun bloodline, and Senior Brother Song Qi, who has been in the second seat for a long time, is the ape bloodline, and the three are basically at the same level, and they are only a foot away from the real mortal genius.

Comparing the three of them carefully, Qin Xuan felt that Qin Chuan's blood seed fire was a little mottled, while the other two were brighter, most of which was related to the fact that they were born in the Seventy-Seven Sect and had a famous teacher to guide and cultivate the clan since childhood.

Among the other top ten senior brothers and sisters, two of them can also reach the level of Lan Ying and the others, but they have hidden black qi, and the fire of blood seeds is even more mottled, obviously taking the demonic evil method.

Qin Xuan slowly expanded his spiritual sense, sensing the blood species of more than 100 fellow cultivators within 20 zhang of the surrounding area, and constantly groping for more rules and insights.

So many small repairs come from various Taoist academies, all of them are middle-level bloodlines, the blood fire is mainly cyan, and none of them can reach the bloodline level of the high-level demon clan, and the highest is only Senior Sister Lan Ying, between the middle and high levels, which can be called a half-step high-level.

He sensed more than 370 people, only seven people at the half-step level, in the Seven Great Dao Courtyard, such people are called "superior talents", and the rest are called "good talents" like Ma Teng, and the rest are "mediocre talents".

According to this law, coupled with the experience and know-how that Shi Huan said, Qin Xuan speculated that the selection principle of the Star Trial Array was actually very simple, that is, to select one hundred "superior talents" among the five or six thousand Dao Academy disciples, and if there were a few real mortal geniuses, it would certainly be great.

It's a pity that his Soul Devouring specialty is only unable to sense his own blood fire, and he doesn't know what level his bloodline is.

"There are so many candidates this year, and the chances left for us poor disciples are even slimmer!" In the crowd, Qin Yan sighed faintly, and quietly looked at Qin Chuan with something else in her eyes, "The most pitiful thing is me and my cousin, who just got the recommended places." ”

"After all, Senior Brother Qin Chuan is a blood refining triple cultivator, and his swordsmanship is the best in the Dao Academy, and he has a great chance of passing the trial, and the most pitiful thing is actually our Yan'er Senior Sister!"

Several senior brothers couldn't wait to comfort Qin Yan, but they didn't have a good impression of Qin Chuan.

"It's really depressing, Fang Zhangyuan disappeared for half a month inexplicably, there was no news, and I don't know where I went. ”

Qin Yan was secretly indignant, Qin Chuan's recommendation cost 50,000 spirit jade, she spent more, and she also kept her innocent body, and was played by Fang Tianyi for two years, but she disappeared at such a critical moment.

Distance.

Qin Xuan was still sensing the blood species of the disciples, studying the rules and details, at first he didn't care about the words of Qin Yan and the others, but when he suddenly heard the "Fang Zhangyuan", he was quietly shocked and listened attentively.

"Missing for half a month?"

Qin Xuan calculated the time and found that Fang Tianyi's disappearance time was on the day he entered the Feiling Cave Heaven, he didn't know what the specific situation was, but he believed that Fang Tianyi should have died.

During this time period, Feng Tianqiu had been guarding him in that nameless hole.

This means that Feng Tianqiu has an accomplice in the Jumu Dao Academy, and can wipe out Fang Tian's real people in a silent way, the two sides only need to exchange letters, and here they decide to steal the tree, and there are people who do not hesitate to expose their identities, kill people, and get rid of future troubles.
