Chapter 138 Entering Daoxu Palace
Li Chaoyuan explained while rushing forward with Chen Jiaxin.
Shi Xiao hugged Guan Qianning and rushed forward, but he could suppress his speed, so Li Chaoyuan caught up with him effortlessly.
Several people ran in the direction of Daoxu Palace one after another, and soon they came to a huge stone gate.
"This is Daoxu Palace." Shi Xiao said calmly.
A huge rock gate with a height of more than ten meters appeared in front of it, which was similar to the giant rock gate at the bottom of the mountain. But this giant gate was much more exquisite in terms of decoration style, and there were many magic circle runes carved on it.
Shi Xiao sensed fluctuations of spiritual energy from above, and it seemed that there was a real magic circle on it.
At this time, there were more than a dozen Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes on both sides of the giant rock gate. These people were all outer disciples of Daoxu Palace and were specially attached to guard the gate of Daoxu Palace.
At this time, a Taoist priest with fine features walked up to a few people, bowed his hands and said: "The donors are here to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony. Please go inside."
Since it has been inspected down below, the Taoist priests here did not make it difficult for many people.
"Okay, we are all from the Chen family in Yizhou City. Please lead the way for us, Taoist Priest." Chen Jiaxin said respectfully, with excitement in her tone.
After all, this is the Daoxu Palace of a super sect, which is not accessible to ordinary people at all.
Li Chaoyuan also looked excited. Entering Daoxu Palace was one of Li Chaoyuan's dreams. Unexpectedly, his dream came true today.
After hearing this, the Taoist leader led Shi Xiao and others forward, and they successfully arrived inside the Daoxu Palace.
After Shi Xiao entered the Daoxu Palace, he discovered that there was a cave inside. It was surrounded by rooms made of rocks and redwoods, and they covered a large area.
The front yard alone covers an area of several hundred meters. These houses are the resting places for these outer disciples. The real living room and incense hall are inside, which are specially designed to provide resting places for Shi Xiao and others.
Everyone followed the Taoist Master towards the back, including many warriors and people from aristocratic families.
After everyone turned around the huge front yard, they walked up a few hundred meters before arriving at the reception room and incense hall.
There are more than a dozen living rooms of various sizes here. At this time, they are already overcrowded. It seems that many people have arrived in advance.
Because the apprenticeship ceremony only takes place in the afternoon, it is only around ten o'clock in the morning. But this is held in Daoxu Palace after all, and no one dares to be late.
The Taoist Master led Shi Xiao and others to a living room, where all the warriors from Yizhou City's aristocratic families lived.
Originally, some aristocratic families and warriors were not worthy of participating, but considering that they were all local forces in Yizhou City, Daoxu Palace had no choice but to invite them in order to save face.
After Shi Xiao and others came in, they instantly attracted the attention of other people in the living room.
"Dad, I'm bringing someone here." Chen Jiaxin waved to a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was Chen Jiaxin's father, Chen Li, who was also the contemporary head of the Chen family.
Chen Li looked a little embarrassed. Chen Jiaxin was spoiled by her. She was so reckless on such an important occasion.
"Jiaxin, don't whine. Come here quickly." Chen Li said in a deep voice.
Seeing her father's expression, Chen Jiaxin did not dare to make any other move, and hurriedly pulled Shi Xiao and others towards Chen Li.
The aristocratic family next to them also stopped looking when they saw that it was the daughter of the Chen family. Although Chen Li of the Chen family was not a martial arts master, he was an established aristocratic family after all, and its resources far exceeded those of other aristocratic families.
The status in Yizhou City is equivalent to that of the Wang family or the Leng family. If a martial arts master appears in the family, they can become the top family in Yizhou City.
Legend has it that the purpose of Chen Li's visit this time was to ask the Taoist priest of Daoxu Palace to advance from the half-step realm to the realm of martial arts master.
"Jiaxin, I told you to come early today. It's almost noon now and you're here. Everyone else has already arrived." Chen Li said seriously.
After hearing this, Chen Jiaxin stuck out her tongue, and then said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean it."
When Chen Li saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head. He was naturally doting on such a daughter.
"By the way, these are your friends??" Chen Li said while looking at Shi Xiao and others.
Chen Jiaxin also reacted later, and then introduced Shi Xiao and others to her father. After hearing this, Chen Li couldn't help but secretly complain. The quota to participate in Daoxu Palace was very precious, but he didn't expect that his daughter would use it like this.
Just to let my friends see the world. I'm afraid they don't even know what a warrior is.
"Okay, in this case you guys are in for a treat today." Chen Li smiled and then complained in his heart but didn't show anything on the surface.
After hearing this, Shi Xiao nodded and looked at the surrounding aristocratic families and warriors. He found that these aristocratic families also had several martial arts masters, and their overall strength was similar to that of Jiangzhou City.
Since the apprenticeship ceremony will only be held in the afternoon, the dignitaries of these aristocratic families want the warriors to gather together and chat now.
"You have heard that Guan Ruiming, the son of Guan Lixuan of the Guan family, was also admitted to Daoxu Palace. These Guan families are probably going to soar into the sky." The old man beside Chen Li said calmly.
"Guan family?! I didn't expect that the Guan family would have an outstanding person." Chen Li sighed.
He did not notice at all that his daughter's friend was a member of the Guan family, although the Guan family themselves did not acknowledge the existence of Guan Qianning and her mother.
"Yes, Guan Ruiming should have directly become the third generation disciple of Daoxu Palace this time. I heard that his strength entered the half-step state a few days ago." The old man sighed.
After hearing this, Chen Li was also filled with sighs. He has practiced hard for so many years and has now reached the Half-Step Realm. However, it is still very difficult to become a martial arts master. Unexpectedly, a 20-year-old young man has successfully reached the Half-Step Realm.
"What, the son of that mean couple can still worship in Daoxu Palace." Chen Jiaxin complained in a low voice from the side.
Guan Qianning naturally heard it, and her face instantly turned a little pale. Doesn't this mean that Guan Lixuan's lineage will become stronger, and she and she will probably be kicked out of the Guan family.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Shi Xiao seemed to see what Guan Qianning was thinking and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Shi Xiao, I'm fine. Thank you." Guan Qianning said with some gratitude. Shi Xiao had helped her a lot, but doing so was equivalent to going against the master disciple of Daoxu Palace.
Shi Xiao and Li Chaoyuan were sitting in a secret place, chatting with Chen Jiaxin, Guan Qianning and others. Not long after, several figures suddenly appeared at the door.
These people are obviously Guan Lixuan and his wife and members of the Guan family. Today is the day when their son becomes a disciple. Guan Lixuan and his wife must be dressed up to attend these apprenticeship ceremonies.
As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Guan Lixuan and the Guan family came in, the somewhat noisy living room became quiet.
It is already known to everyone that Guan Lixuan's son Guan Ruiming was accepted as a disciple by Daoxu Palace. These people understand that the Guan family will definitely gain power through Daoxu Palace.
The situation in Yizhou City will definitely change in the future, and the status of Guan Lixuan and his wife will also rise.
As soon as Guan Lixuan and his wife appeared on the scene, people from other aristocratic families came to fawn over them, and everyone wanted to get to know the Guan family who would rise in the future.
Otherwise, the Guan family was at best second-rate in Yizhou City before, and even if they could participate in this apprenticeship ceremony, they would still be at the bottom.
"Hahaha, today is a great day for my son to be admitted to Daoxu Palace. When the apprenticeship ceremony is over, our Guan family will have a big feast to celebrate." Guan Lixuan said proudly.
"Don't worry, our Li family will definitely participate." "Yes, our Wang family will also be there at that time." Many dignitaries and warriors from aristocratic families came forward to curry favor with the Guan family.
Even Chen Jiaxin's father, Chen Li, came up to exchange a few words. After hearing this, Guan Lixuan and his wife's eyes moved. Chen Jiaxin had previously invited Mr. Tang to treat Mr. Guan. Although there was a hiccup in the process, the result was good.
Guan Lixuan also expressed his gratitude to Chen Li with a smile, and Chen Li only then knew what his daughter had done.
"So that's it. It seems that our two families are quite destined. By the way, my daughter is right there and I asked her to come over." Chen Li said as he called his daughter to come up.
Chen Jiaxin felt a little embarrassed at this time. She invited Mr. Tang entirely for Guan Qianning's sake. But who knew that Guan Qianning had such a bad relationship with her uncle, and now Chen Jiaxin was a little embarrassed to let her go.
But at this time Guan Lixuan also noticed Chen Jiaxin, and he naturally also saw Shi Xiao and others.
"They are here too?!" Guan Lixuan was secretly surprised, but then he realized that Chen Jiaxin should have brought someone here.
Guan Lixuan walked up to a few people calmly, and then said calmly: "I didn't expect you to come here, and why do you two come here?"
Li Chaoyuan looked angry after hearing this, and then said coldly: "What, what will happen if we come? It's none of your business."
Guan Lixuan couldn't help but look angry when he heard Li Chaoyuan's words. He didn't expect that Li Chaoyuan would dare to be so disrespectful to him here.
"You, you are really looking for death. This is Daoxu Palace, where do you think you can be allowed to run wild?" Guan Lixuan said coldly.
At this time, Chen Li came forward with some doubts. He listened to the conversation between the two and it seemed that they knew each other.
"Brother Guan, what on earth is going on?" Chen Li asked doubtfully.
Guan Lixuan's face was gloomy, and then he told Chen Li roughly what happened. In fact, many people in Yizhou City knew about the Guan family's incident, after all, it was a big fuss at the beginning.
Chen Li looked embarrassed after hearing this. As the saying goes, an upright official cannot handle household affairs. Chen Li didn't feel comfortable saying anything, but he couldn't help but stare at his daughter.
Unexpectedly, without paying attention, his daughter would cause trouble. Now the Guan family is different from usual. If the relationship with them is not good, the Chen family will be affected, but fortunately, things are turning around.
"Brother Guan, there's no need to be so angry. My daughter is usually spoiled by me, but her intentions are good." Chen Li said helplessly.
Guan Lixuan didn't feel comfortable saying anything after hearing this. After all, it was Mr. Tang who saved his father. But Shi Xiao, Li Chaoyuan and Guan Qianning made him a little disgusted.
