Elder Peak Zhi Humble Palace.

Tian Jiu and Gui Xiao Xiao Xiao and the twenty outer disciples stood respectfully in the center of the hall. On the high platform in front, there were several bigwigs of Huachenmen, including: Ouyang De, the head of the gate, Wei Qiyin, the core disciple, Sikong Xing, the deacon of Tiandu Peak, the master of the four halls, and Deacon Mi, who was in charge of the outer gate.

The fifth elder Dong Hexiang did not appear, which made Tianjiu much more relaxed.

Ouyang De looked at everyone for a long time, Zuihou sighed slightly, and said, "Alas! The first competition is finally over! Here, I would like to thank Deacon Mi first, he has worked hard for this small competition. Although the results are not satisfactory, I can still accept it, and I hope that Deacon Mi will continue to work hard and do a good job for the next year's competition. ”

Old Man Mi's mouth shook several times, and Zuihou clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your compliment! Old Man Mi is ashamed!"

"Hehe!" Ouyang De waved his hand, and then said: "Forget it, don't say polite words, the following is the question of the belonging of these disciples, I know that this is also the issue that you are most concerned about." Deacon, do you divide it, or do you choose it yourself?"

"It's better for the hall master to choose, I'm afraid that the hard assignment will backfire and make the best use of people's talents. Sikong Xing thought for a moment and replied with his fists clenched. Then he added: "According to the latest ranking of the contribution strength of each hall, the Sword Hall should be the first, and it should be the first to choose, followed by the Fu Law Hall, the Qi Hall and the Dan Hall, each person can only choose one at a time, and no more than one choice is allowed, and the cycle is repeated in turn until there is a disciple in Zuihou." ”

"Gu Baiyi!" "Sword Hall Master Hong Miao shouted unceremoniously.

"Hu Meng!" Yin Jinfeng hesitated for a moment and added, "Master Ouyang, can you let Hu Meng bring his other two brothers to my Fu Fa Hall to practice, of course, his two brothers are not counted among the inner disciples." ”

Ouyang De glanced at Sikong Xing, and then nodded, this result had long been expected by them. Because the Mind Summoning Technique must be cultivated by companions at the same time, only when everyone has progressed, it is possible to progress together, and the strength will increase exponentially.

After hearing this, Hu Meng's face showed excitement. He knew that as long as they cultivated together, it didn't matter whether they were inner disciples or not, and who would dare to underestimate them.

"Qiu Shuisheng!" Xue Fei, the master of the Qi Hall, directly asked for the third place.

"Guan Yuhu!" said Dantang Hall Master Situ Hao helplessly. This Jade Tiger ranks fourth, and it is unknown whether he has alchemy talent or not, so he can only resign himself to fate and choose the one with a high ranking, and he will not suffer a loss in his heart.

“......”

After a few rounds, five groups of people were divided into the main hall.

Hu Ben was picked up by Hong Miao, Wan Bao entered the Fu Law Hall, and Gui Xiao Xiao was also selected by Situ Hao, the master of the Dan Hall.

Only Lei Ming, who ranked second, and Tian Jiu, who had just advanced to the ninth layer of qi refining, ignored them and stood alone.

"What's the matter? You don't choose it, and there are two of them! But they are both at the ninth level of Qi refining, and you can cultivate them into foundation building cultivators with a little effort. The difficulty of the advanced rain layer in this cloud is obvious to all, and it is no less difficult than the advanced foundation building. Ouyang De glanced at where Tianjiu was, then glanced at several hall masters and said.

Hong Miao shook his head and said in a low voice, "My sword hall is full, and there are no extra places." ”

Yin Jinfeng also hurriedly said: "Fu Fatang's financial resources are limited, and it can't accommodate more disciples, so let's leave it to others." ”

Ouyang De shook his head and smiled: "What about you? Hall Master Xue and Hall Master Situ don't think about it anymore? I know that your hall is now withering, and you can't accept it!"

Xue Fei bit his lip and said, "Back to the master, our Qitang is a withered talent, but we don't accept useless people. Master, Deacon Sikong, if there is nothing else, I will take my disciples back to the hall to cultivate. ”

Ouyang De snorted, noncommittal, and stared at Situ Hao with his eyes.

Situ Hao cried with a sad face: "Master, don't look at me like that, or I'll choose one, I want that thunder, and I have the right to come to Dantang to retire!"

Lei Ming's old face was gray and black, and his expression was extremely lonely. He struggled for most of his life, and in the end he actually went to support the elderly, which no one could stand it.

Tianjiu lowered his head and looked at the bluestone ground, drawing circles on the ground on his toes.

"What about Tianjiu, who wants Tianjiu?" Ouyang De shouted impatiently.

No one answered, even Sikong Xing and Old Man Mi lowered their heads.

"Hehe, good, very good!" Ouyang De pointed to several hall masters and smiled bitterly, "This day has not reached the ninth level of the Nine Bone Year, and now it has reached the ninth layer of Qi refining, according to the door rules, you must enter the inner door." If you don't accept it, are you going to flout the rules?"

Sikong Xing twitched his mouth and muttered: "Master, this time it is Xiaobi who will accept apprentices, according to the rules, only the top twenty can enter the inner door, and now there is such a guy with a flower crystal like flowing water, how dare you tell us to accept it?

"Hmph!bankrupt?Qiyin, tell me how many crystals Tianjiu handed over to Huachen this time!" Ouyang De snorted coldly.

"Master Hui, there are a total of 10,000 and 900 spars, all of which are mid-grade spars. Wei Qiyin nodded and said.

“......？”

Sikong Xing and the others looked at each other, 10,000 middle-grade spars, what kind of concept is this, if you follow the contribution points of the sect, you can rank first.

It's a pity that shock is shock, and no one came out to answer.

"You, you, it's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Ouyang De's face turned pale, and he pointed at the people sitting and gritted his teeth.

Wei Qiyin narrowed his eyes and suddenly said something to Ouyang De.

"Oh! I see, you are scruples about the Fifth Elder!" Ouyang De came back to his senses, nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, I don't embarrass you, I have decided, Tianjiu will be my Ouyang De's registered disciple from today onwards." ”

"Huh?" everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.

Tianjiu also raised his head suddenly, looking at Ouyang De with a helpless face, with crystal tears in his eyes, he felt a trace of warmth again in the depths of his already cold heart.

"However, I, Ouyang De, don't have much time to train him, so let's do it, Situ Hao, you can bring Tianjiu for me, and I should accept another pensioner." But don't worry, I, a registered disciple, will definitely give you enough pension spars. ”

"The head ......" Situ Hao still wanted to refute.

Ouyang De shouted: "That's enough! That's all for today, everyone please go back." Situ Hao, you remember, although Tianjiu is nominally my registered disciple, but you are responsible for the things in the exercises, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are his teacher, and if he has any mistakes in his daily practice, you can severely punish those who should be punished, I have no opinion. ”

"Yes, boss!" Situ Hao replied helplessly.

The other three hall masters were all secretly relieved. Being able to put aside this plague god, life is much better, thinking like this, everyone can't help but feel a lot of sympathy when they look at Situ Hao.

After a few breaths, several hall masters left the Zhizhuo Hall with their respective disciples.

Tianjiu was about to walk into the crowd of Dantang, when Ouyang De said again: "Tianjiu, you stay first, and I will ask you a few words." ”

Situ Hao glanced at Tianjiu, didn't say a word, got up and left.

When only Ouyang De, Wei Qiyin and Tianjiu were left in the main hall, Ouyang De shook his head lightly and sighed.

Tianjiu slammed, knelt on the ground, choked, kowtowed, and said, "Disciple Tianjiu, meet the master!"

Actually, I didn't want to do it, but it came to this, and I had to do it. Don't call me master anymore, I only have one apprentice in my life, and I can't teach you any spells. Ouyang De closed his eyes and said with a sigh.

"Disciple understands! Disciple will not insult your reputation, disciple swears, no matter whether you recognize me as an apprentice or not, in Tianjiu's heart, you are my most haode master!"

"Alas, you can do it yourself. I don't have much time left, and I can't take care of you for a few years, I hope God can give you a way to live. Ouyang De said with a wry smile.

Wei Qiyin looked at Tianjiu coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Also, Tianjiu, don't come to me again in the future, if there is anything, either you ask the Situ Hall Master to solve it, or you can find a way to solve it yourself, I will not stand up for you again. I heard that the situation in Fang City is much better, and from next month, you have to hand in a certain amount of offerings, otherwise, some uncles will have a whisper. It's nothing, let's go!" Ouyang De said softly.

"...... this?" Tianjiu was a little confused, and finally leaned on a big tree, but before he could finish kowtowing, the big tree fell, so it didn't matter. How could he accept it. No matter how bad it is, it's okay to leave some souvenirs for a magic weapon! The worst thing is that he has to hand over the spar every month, so who will send him the spar?!

Tianjiu stood up and walked towards the temple gate in a daze. At this time, Ouyang De's voice came from behind him.

"I didn't want to ask you, but since we no longer have anything to do with each other, I'd like to know how far you can go with your current strength?"

Tianjiu stopped his pace, carrying Ouyang De's face on his back, uncertain, Zuihou gritted his teeth and replied: "Back to the master, the disciple fights for words, in Huachenmen, within the Qi refining period, there are almost no opponents." ”

"Oh?" Ouyang De opened his eyes and stared at Tianjiu's infinitely bleak back, his gaze like a blazing eye.

After Tianjiu completely disappeared, Wei Qiyin looked at Ouyang De and asked, "Master, do you think his words are credible?"

"I believe it! Because he's a plague god! The fight between the Broken Knife and the Transformation of Spiritual Consciousness felt very unusual to me. If it were you, in the face of a change in spiritual sense, how much strength would you have to show?"

"At least fifty percent!" Wei Qiyin frowned and said.

"That's right, this son's body didn't seem to be right at that time, if my guess was right, he either made a mistake in his cultivation, or he was secretly manipulated, in this way, he could also take over the power of spiritual consciousness, it can be seen!" Ouyang De said thoughtfully.

"Master, I sometimes feel that I can't see through him, there seems to be a chilling aura on him!"

Ouyang De nodded and said, "Well, Qiyin, the master warned you that if necessary in the future, you should try to be kind to him." ”
