Chapter Seventeen Making things difficult
After chatting with Crystal and Shui Yun'er for a few words, Liu Xingchuan and others left Crystal's residence and walked to their own rooms.
On the way back, Liu Xingchuan kept wondering whether he should ask Shui Yun'er about the jade plaque. After thinking carefully for a while, he decided to wait for some time. After all, he was not very familiar with Shui Yun'er.
But things took a turn for the better at this time.
Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun, who had just arrived at the door of the room, were pulled by Shui Yun'er before they could stand firm.
"In ten days, there will be a gathering of intermediate disciples in the family, and you will also participate!" Shui Yun'er said happily as she looked at the two of them.
Liu Xingchuan thought this was an opportunity, and asked in surprise: "Intermediate Disciples Conference? What does it mean? Is it related to the word 'intermediate' behind the jade plaque?"
Shui Yun'er nodded and said: "There are four levels of brothers in the family: low-level, intermediate, high-level and hidden level. These are all divided according to cultivation level. Your cultivation level is at the sixth level of demon, and you are an intermediate disciple!"
Liu Xingchuan nodded, and it was exactly what he thought. After a pause, Liu Xingchuan said: "Can you introduce to me the number of disciples at each level?"
"Um, this... I'm not very sure about it. I rarely interfere with family affairs, so as not to attract the attention of my wife, so I really don't know about these things!" Shui Yun'er said with some embarrassment.
Liu Xingchuan sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the only clue was stuck here, but it didn't matter. He had plenty of time and he would figure it out one day.
Although he thought so, Liu Xingchuan didn't have any disappointed look on his face. He smiled and said: "Oh, I'm just asking casually. Since you don't know, forget it. By the way, don't ask rashly, so as not to cause trouble.
Unnecessary trouble!"
Shui Yun'er nodded and left.
After Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun entered the room, neither of them spoke. The crystal had put a lot of pressure on them just now. At least for now, they didn't know whether the crystal was related to the disaster in Jingling City.
But what is certain is that Crystal is very scheming, far beyond what the two of them can match. Moreover, it seems that Crystal does not trust the two of them now, which means that he may have begun to doubt.
After carefully recalling the conversation with Crystal, and after making sure that there were no obvious flaws, Liu Xingchuan closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In the next ten days, neither Liu Xingchuan nor Yang Zhijun left the room. They were practicing hard, hoping to break through in the shortest time.
In fact, Liu Xingchuan was still thinking about another thing his father told him during this period. When he left Jingling City, his father told himself that the breakthrough from the third-level demon to the fourth-level demon should not take more than five years.
It cannot take more than seven years to reach the fifth level. According to this reasoning, he must break through to the seventh level demon realm within eleven years.
Although he didn't know why his father made such a request, Liu Xingchuan knew that his father would not harm him, so he could just do it.
Thinking of this, Liu Xingchuan calculated the time and found that he had stayed in the sixth-level demon realm for more than a year, but there was no sign of breaking through the realm.
This made Liu Xingchuan feel a little anxious. Although he understood that this was something he couldn't rush, he also understood that if he hadn't seen Jingling City completely changed beyond recognition and been stimulated in his heart, he would not have been able to break through two levels in a row within a year.
Liu Xingchuan vaguely remembered how slowly his level improved when he was in Jingling City.
Ten days passed quickly. Before dawn that morning, Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun were pulled into a huge secret room by Shui Yun'er.
As soon as they arrived here, Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun were both stunned. Thousands of disciples sitting on the ground looked at the three of them blankly.
"I'm still late, it's all because of you two!" Shui Yun'er glared at Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun and said with complaint.
Liu Xingchuan glanced at Shui Yun'er sheepishly, and then cast an apologetic look at everyone, then sat down quietly, while Yang Zhijun glanced at everyone indifferently, seeming to be very proud of what he had just said.
Joining Yueming Valley was welcomed by everyone.
At this time, at the front of the thousands of disciples, there was a middle-aged man who looked very serious. After seeing Liu Xingchuan and others sitting down, he cleared his throat and said: "Recently, two new disciples have joined us among the intermediate disciples of Yueming Valley.
Seventeen people, first of all, on behalf of all the intermediate disciples, I would like to welcome them!"
After a pause, the middle-aged man continued: "I am Shuijian, the training guide for intermediate disciples. You can call me senior guide, or you can call me senior Shui!"
Next, there is a lot of messy introductions, all about how powerful Yueming Valley is and what an important position it occupies in the Yimu Continent and even the entire universe...
Just when Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun were drowsy, Shui Jian suddenly raised his voice and said, "That's the end of the general introduction to Yueming Valley!"
After hearing this, Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, this nonsense has finally been introduced!
"Next, I will tell you about my cultivation method in Yueming Valley, which is said to be unique in Yimu Continent..." Shui Jian continued.
Shui Jian's words almost made Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun hit the wall directly. The most painful thing in the world is that when you think you have reached the point where everything is dark and the flowers are bright, you don't know that there is only "dark willows" in this world, and there is no "bright flowers".
.
After continuously introducing the exercises for two hours, the water stream finally stopped, and it was already noon.
"Damn, it's finally over!" Yang Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice.
When Liu Xingchuan heard this, he quickly added: "This training instructor is very eloquent!"
The conversation between the two made Shui Yun'er, who was sitting aside, blush all over. She was suppressing her laughter!
"Now comes the most exciting moment, let's roar, juniors!" Shuijian said excitedly again after taking a short rest.
After hearing what Shuijian said, Liu Xingchuan couldn't help but ask Shui Yun'er: "Blood boiling? What's going on?"
"It's just a competition test! But don't worry, new members don't need to participate for the first time!" Shui Yun'er said calmly.
Liu Xingchuan nodded, it would be better not to participate in the fight, but Yang Zhijun didn't think so. This guy's eyes lit up when he heard about the fight.
"Now everyone chooses their opponents and can train freely!" Shuijian paused and continued.
After listening to his words, Liu Xingchuan breathed a deep sigh of relief again. Damn it, the damn introduction is finally over. His ears were numb after hearing it. What he wanted to hear was a metaphor about the introduction of the number of intermediate, advanced and hidden disciples.
He didn't say any of them, but he kept saying what he didn't want to hear for several hours.
"Two newcomers, come and train with me!" Just when Liu Xingchuan was thinking about his own affairs, a sharp male voice came.
Following the voice, Liu Xingchuan saw a man with fiery red hair and a sinister smile on his face.
"Zhang Hongwei, what do you want to do?" Shui Yun'er suddenly stood up and shouted loudly when she saw the man.
Her reaction made Liu Xingchuan a little confused. Although the man's tone was a bit arrogant, it wasn't like that, right?
"I'm not doing anything, I just want to help the two newcomers improve their combat experience. Why are you so nervous?" Zhang Hongwei looked at Shui Yun'er, walked over slowly, and said in a strange tone.
"Ignore him, this person is crazy!" Shui Yun'er glared at Zhang Weihong and said with hostility.
Liu Xingchuan looked at them and smiled. It seemed that the relationship between this guy and Shui Yun'er was not good.
"Sorry, we two have just arrived and are not used to it yet, and I also heard that we newcomers do not need to participate in this training, so..." Liu Xingchuan said to Zhang Hongwei with a smile on his face.
Zhang Hongwei glanced at Liu Xingchuan, full of contempt, paused, and said to Shui Yun'er with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that the man brought back by the eldest lady for the first time would be such a useless guy. If he is not strong enough, it will be ignored.
Wow, you are still so cowardly!"
After hearing what he said, Shui Yun'er's expression changed several times, but she didn't speak.
Liu Xingchuan also glanced at Zhang Hongwei. This man seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble.
With a faint smile, Liu Xingchuan pulled aside Yang Zhijun, who was about to step forward to "teach Zhang Hongwei a lesson." In Liu Xingchuan's opinion, there was really no need to get angry with such a person.
Seeing that Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun were silent, Zhang Hongwei felt even more arrogant. After touching the broom-like fiery red hair on his head, he looked at Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun with disdain again, and then said to Shui Yun'er:
"Now I'm sure once again that there is something wrong with the eldest lady's vision. I think it's better for the eldest lady not to be friends with such a group of losers in the future."
What he said has already begun to make Liu Xingchuan feel uncomfortable. People who push their limits generally don't understand how capable they are!
"Trash is better than scum like you, let alone others!" At this time, Shui Yun'er couldn't bear it anymore and retorted sharply.
Zhang Hongwei smiled and was not angry. He just stared at Shui Yun'er with a smile on his face. After a moment, he said again: "Whether it is a waste or not, you will know if you try it."
Then he turned to Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun and said, "Do you want to prove that you are not useless? It's very simple, just train with me and you will know the result!"
His words once again aroused Yang Zhijun's fighting spirit, but just like the first time, he was killed by Liu Xingchuan.
"I don't need to prove anything, and I don't have to prove anything!" Liu Xingchuan said calmly.
"From what the boy said, it sounds like he is very powerful. What if I say that I insist on you proving it?" Zhang Hongwei said still reluctantly.
At this time, everyone who was training on their own also noticed something strange here. After they stopped in unison, some people began to shout: "What are you afraid of? After a fight, everything will be clear!"
Chapter completed!
