"Ten people are competing for two places. Except for me, the other nine people are all at the sixth level of strength and have been in the Sword Mansion for more than three years."
"These senior brothers have learned swordsmanship for a long time and have solid and profound skills. They are all powerful enemies..."
After reading the announcement, Liang Qiufeng learned about the process of being promoted to an inner disciple. To put it bluntly, it was a year-end assessment, but what was different about them was that the government leader Zhang Xingkong would personally set the questions and invigilate the exams.
Originally, Liang Qiufeng's situation did not meet the conditions for election as an inner disciple. He had insufficient cultivation and insufficient testing time. However, in Gushan City, Liang Qiufeng blocked Fan Dongliu's sword and solved the dilemma of Jianfu Posthouse.
, make a contribution.
Coupled with the major environmental issues, Jian Mansion needs to promote good examples and boost morale. In order to reward him, Liang Qiufeng is allowed to participate in this year's election for inner disciples.
The purpose of this move is to say to the new generation disciples of Quanjian Mansion: "As long as you practice hard and perform well, you will definitely have a chance to get ahead."
"This award is probably inseparable from Elder Xiao's support..."
Although Liang Qiufeng went through darkness, he maintained a good character and knew how to be grateful.
He was grateful to the old deacon. Without the old deacon to give him food and take him up the mountain, no matter how stubborn he was, he might not be able to survive the most difficult period of time.
This is the grace of survival, which is greater than heaven.
He was also grateful to Xiao Jihai, who allowed him to enter the Jian Mansion as an outer disciple without any restrictions. Needless to say, there were all kinds of exceptions.
He took a long breath and murmured: "In both public and private matters, you must seize this opportunity to advance. Life is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you will not forgive yourself."
Being promoted from an outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple is not only a change in status, but also a significant increase in various welfare benefits, which is more conducive to cultivation.
In the past, Xiao Jihai had repeatedly used the power of elders to provide extraordinary care, but the number of times was limited, and he could not exceed the bottom line of the sect rules.
Therefore, fundamentally, we still have to rely on Liang Qiufeng to achieve success.
If you don't live up to expectations, no amount of special care will be meaningful.
In the world of martial arts, many prominent warriors have descendants. These "descendants of martial arts" are born with golden keys in their mouths and are favored by hundreds of thousands. However, if individuals do not work hard and live up to their expectations, sooner or later they will be unable to support themselves.
At best, he is just a dandy and cannot become a person.
"Little brother, are you back?"
The sound of surprise rang in my ears.
Squeak!
The little boy jumped onto his shoulder with ease.
It turned out that he had walked back to the courtyard.
Liang Qiufeng smiled and said, "Well, I'm back after completing the mission."
Yaoyao said, "Just come back. I'll make dinner right away."
Liang Qiufeng originally thought that after dinner, he would go to the inner palace to find Zhang Jiangshan and return the black horse. However, as soon as the meal was served, Zhang Jiangshan's laughter came from outside: "It smells so good, haha, it's better to come sooner than later."
skillful."
Looking at his waist like a water tank, Liang Qiufeng joked: "Senior Brother Zhang, you can't even see your toes when you lower your head, how can you still eat?"
Having said that, the other party's "blessed" figure is really rare in the ranks of warriors. No wonder everyone calls him "Fat Zhang". If it is wrong, it means contempt and ridicule; in the circle of friends, it also means
With a friendly meaning.
Zhang Jiangshan smiled and said: "Why can't you eat? I haven't had dinner yet and I'm so hungry. I heard you are back and came over immediately."
Liang Qiufeng curled his lips: "Don't worry, your black horse is fine, it's just missing a few manes."
Zhang Jiangshan waved his hand nonchalantly: "Let's not talk about the horse. What if it's just a black horse and is given to my junior brother?"
It seems that after Liang Qiufeng blocked Fan Dongliu's knife, the market rose sharply.
There was an extra guest, so Yaoyao quickly put out an extra set of dishes and chopsticks.
When the meal started, Liang Qiufeng, Yaoyao, and the sample were almost dumbfounded. This was because Zhang Jiangshan's eating skills were so awesome, so brutal and inhumane.
Liang Qiufeng thought that his eating speed was not slow, but compared with Senior Brother Zhang, it was as slow as a snail.
"Uh, I'm full."
Zhang Jiangshan burped, touched his belly, and felt comfortable.
Liang Qiufeng couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Nonsense, you've eaten up a big bowl of rice and five dishes. Can you not be full?"
Zhang Jiangshan touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I've always loved eating, especially meat. These dishes are so delicious that I almost get carried away after eating them."
Having said this, his expression straightened and he said seriously: "Junior brother, actually I came to see you to tell you some bad news."
Liang Qiufeng picked up the rice and said, "Please tell me."
"Zhou Wenbo is very angry."
Liang Qiufeng put down his job: "Senior Brother Zhang, you talk a lot of nonsense today."
Zhou Wenbo's sword servant failed to snipe and was killed instead. Zhou Wenbo was not angry until he saw a ghost.
Zhang Jiangshan chuckled: "Junior brother, don't be anxious. Although it is nonsense, it is worth listening to. Zhou Wenbo and his best friend Lan Lingling have already begun to make arrangements, saying that they will never let you pass the election assessment of the inner disciples."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"They found several other disciples who were competing with you, and they said something sneaky and I don't know what they said. Anyway, it wasn't a good thing."
Liang Qiufeng was silent for a moment, then said: "So what? The examination procedure is set and supervised by the Palace Master himself. Is it possible that they still dare to mess around?"
"It's not okay to do it randomly, but there is no doubt that we have targeted it in advance. Among the nine people, one is Lan Lingling's cousin, named 'Ma Qianjun'; and the other is a warrior from the Zhou family.
, called 'Zhou Xuanshui'. It can be said that these two people are their confidants."
"Well, go on."
"In my opinion, Zhou Wenbo will definitely support these two people greatly, such as sending elixirs, borrowing weapons, etc., to equip them with all their strength and improve their strength. As long as they grab two promotion places, you will naturally lose."
Liang Qiufeng deeply agreed: "I think so too."
There are only four months left before the election, so there cannot be much improvement in martial arts and martial arts. The only way is to start with external objects to quickly increase the strength.
Pills and weapons are all effective shortcuts.
And these are exactly Liang Qiufeng's shortcomings. The spiritual rice he exchanged for all his wealth was only enough for daily use, and he couldn't afford to buy good things at all. Speaking of which, the secret weapon low-grade long swords issued by the Sword Mansion were all used by Pan Dongliu.
It was cut off. Although it was well cast and connected, its power was greatly reduced, which meant that it was half useless.
People are poor and have short ambitions.
He rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Senior Brother Zhang, you ate all my food. Shouldn't you show off?"
Zhang Jiangshan was stunned for a moment, then jumped up: "Junior brother, you are trying to blackmail me again!" Then he frowned and said: "Let me declare in advance that I really don't have the elixir, so I can only borrow the secret weapon high-grade sword in my hand."
The landlord's family also had no surplus food. Although he was a disciple of the inner sect, the young master of the Zhang family, if there were good things, he would have enjoyed them long ago. How could he keep them in his hands to look good?
Liang Qiufeng smiled and said, "I'm scaring you. I'm not used to your sword."
Zhang Jiangshan said: "Junior brother, there is actually a chance to turn things around."
"You mean the Sword Hall?"
"Yes, the sword lecture hall will be held in two months. If you can understand this year's Xuanji sword questions and your strength improves by leaps and bounds, you don't have to worry about them playing tricks."
Talking about the Sword Hall is really sad to talk about. It was because of the Sword Talking Hall that Liang Qiufeng was able to change his destiny.
"Has this year's sword title been announced?"
"Announced, the middle grade Xuan level, "Thirty-Six Swords of Chasing the Wind"!"
It turns out to be "Thirty-Six Swords of Chasing the Wind", so is it a coincidence?
