"Elder Gongsun, I don't know what happened, but I actually asked you to come in person?"

After Xu Qingfan opened the defensive formation outside the cave mansion, he bowed to Gongsun Huashao and asked with a smile.

Facing Xu Qingfan's polite smile, Gongsun Huashao still had a calm face, just glanced at Xiao Hei who was standing on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, and then said to Xu Qingfan, "The head is looking for him", he didn't say anything more, and turned around and left directly.

Looking at the back of Gongsun Huashao leaving, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Since Xu Qingfan inadvertently obtained the power of the Three Courts, Gongsun Huashao, who was originally extremely friendly to him, has gradually distanced himself from him.

However, thinking of Gongsun Huashao's message just now, Xu Qingfan groaned slightly.

At this time, eight years have passed since Xu Qingfan's last retreat, and in these eight years, Xu Qingfan has been cultivating the "Qi of the Soul", and he has already achieved a small success, although he has not been able to rebalance with the "Qi of Death", but he can barely suppress the corrosive effect of the "Qi of Death".

Because of this, Xu Qingfan felt that he was ready, and he wanted to use the name of retreat to go to Jiuhua Mountain to fulfill the last wishes in Liu Huaxiang's letter during this time.

In the past eight years, Zhang Hualing, like Xu Qingfan, has been in retreat one after another, although each retreat is not long, but it is extremely frequent, which is puzzling.

"So, the head of the sect is out of the customs again, I hope it doesn't make me do something very troublesome again, otherwise how can I sneak down the mountain?" Xu Qingfan muttered.

Saying that, Xu Qingfan did not hesitate any longer, and after resealing the cave, he flew towards the front mountain of Jiuhua.

Falling in front of the Hualing Palace, he stepped into the Hualing Palace, which had become familiar. However, now there are nearly forty elders in Jiuhua, except for a few elders who are in retreat, and it is rare for them to gather in the Hualing Hall, men, women, and children, which can be said to be all together. And Zhang Hualing sat in the main seat.

"People are coming so together, is there something wrong?"

Xu Qingfan thought so, but his face was silent, and after bowing to Zhang Hualing and the elders, he silently walked to the position under Zhang Hualing and sat down.

After seeing everyone coming, Zhang Hualing nodded silently. Said slowly: "I summoned everyone to come this time because my next Jiuhua competition in the door is about to start." Although I, Jiuhua, will no longer participate in the next newcomer competition in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, in addition to selecting outstanding disciples to participate in the newcomer competition, it is also a tradition, so I still have to insist on it. What's more, I have been closed for nearly 50 years. Those young disciples simply couldn't travel to gain experience, and this inner sect could add some of their combat experience. ”

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, all the elders nodded their heads in agreement, and Xu Qingfan was even more relieved. Anyway, it would not delay his plan to go down the mountain, and after seeing that all the elders agreed, Zhang Hualing said: "As usual, whether or not to participate in the big competition in the sect is entirely up to the disciples, and it is inconvenient for us as elders to interfere. ”

said. Zhang Hualing turned his head to Xu Qingfan and said, "Deacon Xu, you are responsible for the registration of the big competition in the door this time." In addition, Jiuhua has been closed for a long time, and the disciples are estimated to be suffocated. This time, you are also responsible for arranging the rewards for the top four, so you might as well enrich and precious. ”

Xu Qingfan nodded in understanding.

Then. After Zhang Hualing and the elders discussed some more affairs in the door, they announced that the elders' meeting was over.

But just as Xu Qingfan was about to leave with the elders, he suddenly heard Zhang Hualing say, "Deacon Xu, please stay, I have something to tell you." ”

Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, then sat back in place, quietly waiting for the elders to leave, but now, Gongsun Huasao and some other Zhang elders looked at him deeply when they left, and there seemed to be deep meaning in their eyes.

After all the elders have left. Zhang Hualing pondered slightly, and said slowly to Xu Qingfan: "This time there is a big competition in the door, in addition to selecting outstanding disciples, there is actually a deep meaning. ”

Xu Qingfan bowed slightly in his seat and said, "Please make it clear to the head of the house." ”

Zhang Hualing said lightly: "Because some elders have doubts about the efficacy of the Three Courtyards, I will try to test the effectiveness of your Heaven, Earth and Man Three Courtyards over the years. ”

Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned. He asked, "But I don't know how to be assessed?"

Zhang Hualing smiled slightly. "It's not difficult, but it's not easy. There are more than 900 disciples in the Third Academy. Among ordinary disciples, it should account for more than half. However, considering that the academy teaching is not as easy to produce elite disciples as the master-apprentice teaching, I discussed it with those elders, and in this intra-sect competition, there must be more than eight third-tier disciples among the eighteen qualified disciples, and at least one third-line disciple needs to enter the final four. Otherwise, even if your work in the Third Academy over the years is not qualified. ”

Xu Qingfan knew in his heart that this was probably the idea of Gongsun Huasao and others, but he was not in a hurry, but asked lightly: "Then I have to ask the head of the house, what should I do if I am qualified? What should I do if I am not qualified?"

Seeing Xu Qingfan's calm and indifferent expression, Zhang Hualing nodded with satisfaction, and explained with a smile: "If you are qualified, you and all the elders in the three courtyards will increase their offerings, and if they are not qualified, the three courtyards may be cancelled, or others may be put in charge of the three courtyards." ”

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly and said, "The junior understands." ”

Zhang Hualing nodded with a smile and asked, "You seem to be very confident in your appearance?"

Xu Qingfan said with a smile: "Although the junior is relatively lazy on weekdays, since he is in charge of the Third Academy, he still knows more about the Third Academy. In addition, over the years, my Jiuhua has not had a genius like Senior Brother Jin and Senior Brother Feng, so the above conditions, the younger generation still has the confidence to reach the ground. ”

Zhang Hualing nodded and said, "It's good if you have confidence." I heard that you have been very diligent in cultivating over the years, so I won't delay you, go back to cultivation. ”

Xu Qingfan stood up from his seat, bowed to Zhang Hualing, and then turned around and retreated.

But at the moment when Xu Qingfan walked out of the gate of Hualing Palace, the original indifference and peace on his face disappeared in an instant, but became a little gloomy in contemplation.

Xu Qingfan's special version is not because Gongsun Huasa and others are mixing with him, Xu Qingfan is completely confident in these small means, but what really makes Xu Qingfan's expression change is the head of Jiuhua, Zhang Hualing!!

Since the last time Zhou Huahai rebelled, Zhang Hualing in order to repel Zhou Huahai, but he overdrew his life to perform the "Decision on Behalf of Heaven", and since then his vitality has been greatly damaged, and he has not been able to recover no matter what.

But at this time, looking at Zhang Hualing, it was as if he had never been born, not only was his face full of red spirits, but his face was even much younger than before Zhou Huahai's rebellion.

What's more, Xu Qingfan clearly felt a trace of extremely strange energy fluctuations from Zhang Hualing's body just now, this kind of fluctuation Xu Qingfan was very familiar with, because Xu Qingfan also had this kind of energy fluctuation.

According to Liu Huaxiang's words to Xu Qingfan before his death, this kind of energy fluctuation is unique to the body after transforming it with a secret method.

"Is it ......?"

Xu Qingfan's expression moved slightly, and then without hesitation, Yuyun flew towards the top of Jiuhua Mountain.

In the letter that Liu Huaxiang left to him before, he confessed three wishes for Xu Qingfan to complete. The first of them is to explain to Xu Qingfan, in the tunnel that can leave Jiuhua Mountain, there are some relics of Liu Huaxiang, all of which are some evil techniques that appeared at the same time when Liu Huaxiang transformed Xu Qingfan's secret methods, as well as Liu Huaxiang's own exercises created according to these evil techniques.

According to Liu Huaxiang, most of these exercises are too evil, and most of them need to be too cruel to cultivate, and they require a lot of goblin blood and souls, because they are extremely powerful, so it is easier to lead people into evil ways.

At that time, Liu Huaxiang's last words to Xu Qingfan were, "Destroy or repair, it is up to you to do evil, but you must not use it to do evil, let alone pass this skill on to people with unrighteous intentions." ”

"Could it be that the head of the sect has revealed those exercises that Uncle Liu left me?"

On the way to the top of Jiuhua Mountain, thinking of the changes before and after Zhang Hualing, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but secretly think.
