Chapter 4: We're Strong!
"The owner of the house, I still haven't found Senior Brother Qi!" The disciple who came to report the news had beads of sweat on his face, and the big competition within the sect was about to begin, but Qi Yun, the leader of the Refining Academy, did not show up for a long time.
"Got it!" Mei Ruoxi waved her hand, and there seemed to be an answer in her eyes.
In the refining room of the refining academy, Qi Yun took out the last furnace of refining embryos and carefully placed them in the tray in turn, and the owner Mei Ruoxi watched quietly from the side, for this disciple with outstanding talent, diligent cultivation and far-sighted vision, he was sorry except for appreciation.
Qi Yun and Tian Bin of the material room had entered the top 16 of the Zongnei Dabi the year before last, and that year he gave up the opportunity to advance to the foundation building period and won the precious two Dabi qualifications for the Zongnai. In the second year, Tian Bin advanced to the foundation building period, in order to ensure that he got enough points, so Qi Yun suppressed it for another year without advancement, under his leadership, Jing Yi of the mosaic house and Jian Fan, who was later transferred from the material room to the seminary, joined hands to reach the top thirty-six.
This year, Qi Yun took the initiative to fight for the Refining Academy again, because this year he is no longer alone, and after several years of accumulation, the Refining Academy is now no longer what it used to be. In addition to the six people who are known as the three heroes and the four masters, there are also the genius girl Shangguan Yu, the dark horse Xie Ling who came out of the sky, plus Xiao Mo, a senior disciple of the smelting room, quoted the words of Cui Sixiu, the master of the Refining Academy, that is: 'We are very strong this year!'
"Yes, we're strong this year!" muttered Mei Ruoxi.
Qi Yun was stunned, and then his eyes let out a gleam.
"Let's go! It's time. After Mei Ruoxi finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Qi Yun took a deep breath and walked out after him. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and last night because he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he ran to the fire room and burned the embryo all night.

Yang Ying tied up her hair, revealing a round face, and from the outside, this female disciple ranked second in the Refining Academy seemed to be as young and innocent as a trial student who had just started.
Qi Yun has fought for her for two consecutive years, she knows best what her senior brother thinks, after failing in the retreat advanced foundation building period for two consecutive years, this time whether it is for the glory of the Refining Academy or because of the persistent Qi Yun, she must participate!
"Senior sister, it's time!" Xue Bing called outside. This is the first time she has participated in the Zongnei competition, and she is inevitably a little excited.
"Well, I'll come!"
"Senior sister, everyone said that this time our Refining Academy is very strong, is it true?"
"Well, we are very strong this year!" Yang Ying had a shadow in her mind, some familiar and some unfamiliar, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were really strong!

Shen Conglong walked in front, Shen Conghu was a few steps away from him, he knew the thoughts of this brother who was very similar in appearance to him, but his personality was very different, he shook his head, and walked towards the gathering place very helplessly.
Shen Conghu waited for him to go away before he followed closely, he didn't want to walk under the back of that person, he was him, not just Shen Conglong's brother, this time he must go further than the last time, because he is very strong this year!

Hong Xuan saw that there was only Shangguan Yu by Jingyi's side, and said strangely: "What, your little junior brother?"
"He's a character who can't see the end of the dragon, and now he doesn't know how to cultivate in that corner!" Jingyi said with a slight startle.
"I heard that your little junior brother in the Blackwater Valley trial this time is out of the limelight, don't hide it, it's all a courtyard, it can't be that you girl has any ideas, right?" Hong Xuan laughed.
"Go, go, you damn girl, you don't have a proper way when you're old. Jingyi's face was slightly red and said in shame.
"Why are you so excited! Are you really moving your heart in spring?" Hong Xuan said reluctantly.
"I don't bother to pay attention to you, the next time I see the sect senior brother of Luojia Mountain, I'll ask him why he didn't go to the refining academy to see Hong Da Mei last time. Jingyi covered her mouth and smiled.
Hong Xuan seemed to have been poked in the acupoint, and pointed to the opposite side with a blushing face: "Your little junior brother is here, don't call him over." β
Shangguan Yu had been silent on the side, but at this time he turned away slightly.
"Senior sister, I'm not late!" Xie Ling walked over from the opposite side with a smile.

In the meeting hall of the Refining Academy, Cui Sixiu had been looking at a large brown and yellow plaque on the wall for a long time, and the brown and yellow plaque read 'The First Instrument in the World' in five thick black characters, and the owners of the other houses stood behind, and the atmosphere was very depressing and dull!
This plaque has been here for more than 500 years, since Master Yi left, after three generations of masters, until today, this plaque has never been hung at the gate of the courtyard!" Cui Sixiu said with tears in his eyes.
Xiong Zhengdong stood there quietly, although he was a little selfish, although he was narrow-minded, but he still had great feelings for the Refining Academy, after all, he had been here for more than a hundred years! The glory of the Refining Academy was not only the matter of Cui Sixiu, the owner of the Academy, but also what he valued the most, and it was the dream and pursuit of everyone in this room to re-hang the plaque of 'The First Instrument in the World' at the door of the Instrument Academy!
"Courtyard Master, they're all ready!" he said slowly.
"It's all here!"
"It's all here, we're strong this year!" Xiong Zhengdong said as he looked at the faces of a row of ten people outside.
"Well, we're strong this year!" Cui Sixiu took his eyes off the plaque of 'The First Device in the World' and turned to look outside, his eyes shining with a scorching light!
Knock knock knock 6161616161 the bell in the sect rang, a total of nine times, this is the martial arts bell, and almost all the disciples of each academy gathered in the square outside the main gate of the martial arts arena.
According to the practice of previous years, when the heaven-shaking drum sounded, the sect leader Huang Linghai would first open the door of the martial arts arena with his own hands, and welcome one hundred outstanding disciples from various academies, halls, and departments who had obtained the qualifications of the big competition to enter the martial arts arena. Then the other people enter the venue in order according to the pre-arranged position and order.
At this time, in the center of the square outside the main gate of the martial arts arena, a hundred Dabi disciples stood solemnly. Ten disciples in soap-clothed hidden moon clothes stood at the end, except for Xie Ling in the front nine, and all the others were disciples in blue-clothed embroidered moon clothes, so Xie Ling, who was wearing soap-clothed, was particularly eye-catching among them!
"Is that Xie Ling from the Refining Academy?" someone on the periphery began to discuss.
"Well, I heard that if it weren't for him this time, there would never be so many people left in this sect after the trial in Blackwater Valley!"
"Is it that powerful?"
"Isn't it powerful, can you stand in the middle of those blue-clothed brothers below?"
"It's hard to say, the Refining Academy is too weak, if I were there, I would have a chance to grab a place from them. β
"Just blow it! I think this year's Refining Academy is different from what it used to be. β
"I knew that there was a good one named Qi Yun in the Refining Academy, and the others were much worse than our two courtyards!"
"Hey, who's that guy? Why is he carrying a tripod on his back!"
"You don't know this, it's Ning Chen of the 'Cultivation Academy', hehe, it's not me boasting, he alone can wipe out the entire Refining Academy!"
"I like that red-haired guy with a gourd. β
"You're talking about Yang Zhuo'er from Dan Academy. This is a freak, it is said that he can practice both water and fire exercises together, and he has practiced to a very powerful Cheng dΓΉ. β
"The dual cultivation of water and fire is indeed rare, but how can it be compared to Senior Brother Feng Yufeng of our 'Spirit Plantation Academy', his gold and water system supernatural powers are called stakes!"
"Rare and weird, do you know who that person is?"
"Who is it?"
"Yue Lingxiao, the best newcomer in the 'Sword Trial Academy', and Senior Brother Zhang Yuqing, who is one of the 'Nine Masters of the Cangyue', all value him very much, and say, 'The only one who can compete with him in the future is Yue Lingxiao!'. β
The disciples were talking one after another, and at the location of the disciples of the Cultivation Academy, Chen Yizhen smiled and said to a gray-robed middle-aged monk beside him: "Brother Fang Zhong, it turns out that Xie Ling is a disciple of your family, why have I never heard of you?"
Xie Fangzhong looked at Xie Ling in the center of the square, with mixed feelings in his heart, as Xie Ling's fifth uncle, the strongest Xie family in the Cangyue Sect today except for the boss Xie Fangmo, if it weren't for the tragedy that happened in the wilderness back then, how could he ignore the young man in front of him.
Even when I see Xie Ling now, I will also think of the tragedy of the year, that time my second brother, eighth brother and Xie Hong's child were all killed because of the young man in front of him! Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, this made him and the other Xie family members in the Cangyue Sect have always avoided Xie Ling and left him to fend for himself in the sect.
But now there is no need to rely on himself, he does not need to rely on the Xie family, that immature boy has grown up to a situation that even he can't avoid! Could it be that the 'Fire Spirit Bead' that everyone thought was wasted in vain has begun to take effect? He hesitated for a moment before replying to Chen Yizhen: "There are too many children in the clan!"
Chen Yizhen nodded, when he first saw Xie Ling, he had the slightest idea of including him in the 'Cultivation Academy', but later he gave up because Xie Ling's immortal root was too poor. The Xie family is a big family of cultivating immortals, and there are not a few talented young people in the clan, that is, among the hundreds of people below, in addition to Xie Ling, there are two disciples from the Xie family, and it is reasonable that Xie Fangzhong did not pay attention to Xie Ling before.
At this moment, the six-sided big drum standing outside the gate sounded, and in the sound of the drum, the crimson gate of the fighting arena slowly opened to both sides, and Huang Linghai appeared in the eyes of everyone very majestically in a silver moon embroidered gold robe!
