Although Chu Chen got the first place in the inner sect competition as he wished, there was no trace of joy on his face or in his heart. It was not because he was in a high state, but because he really couldn't feel any joy at all.
It's not that Chu Chen cares that his three senior brothers failed to enter the top ten, it's just that he repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of Ling Tian, which made him lose face. He felt like he had a fly in his mouth. He felt sick all the time and was even more irritable.
Endless.
Chu Chen knew that Ling Tian had become his inner demon. If he didn't kill him, it would probably become the biggest obstacle for him to advance to the spiritual fetus stage.
"The ten of you are the candidates for our Blue Maple Sect to enter the Great Monument Realm this time."
After the award was distributed, the leader Dou Yunzi said earnestly: "There are still more than two months before the opening of the Great Monument Realm. During this time, you must practice hard and work hard to improve, and strive to enter the Great Monument Realm.
Before, the strength had greatly improved."
"Disciples must live up to their master's training."
Ling Tian and the other ten people responded in unison.
"Although there are many opportunities and countless rare treasures in the Great Monument Realm, it is also extremely dangerous. Some of you may die in it."
The leader, Dou Yunzi, said solemnly: "If you still have worries in the secular world, you can go down the mountain and go home within these two months to meet your relatives and friends and cut off the bonds in your heart."
Everyone was silent.
These inner sect elite disciples have not been practicing for a long time, and most of them still have relatives and friends in the secular world.
Entering the Great Monument Realm this time, there are many dangers, so it is reasonable to go home and take a look before entering.
"Okay, everyone can go back."
The leader, Dou Yunzi, waved his sleeves and said: "As for what you should pay attention to after entering the Great Monument Realm, your master will tell you."
"Disciple, please leave"
After bowing to the headmaster again, all the inner sect foundation-building disciples exited the hall one after another.
"Junior brother Chu Chen, congratulations"
“Winning the first place in the inner sect competition is gratifying”
"Junior Brother Chu Chen won the first place and deserved it."
After leaving the main hall, many inner disciples began to congratulate Chu Chen, and many even did not hesitate to use flattering words to please him.
According to Chu Chen's realm and strength, sooner or later he will advance to the spiritual fetus stage and become one of the important figures in the sect. When the time comes, everyone will respectfully call him Uncle Master when they see him again.
When Chu Chen advances to the spiritual fetus stage and his status rises, it will be difficult to get close to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen was already aloof and arrogant, and this competition made him very unhappy. Naturally, he was not in the mood to be hypocritical and polite with his classmates. He just casually dealt with a few people and left quickly.
"Junior Brother Lingtian, congratulations, you just entered the inner gate and won the second place in the competition, which is admirable."
"Given time, Junior Brother Lingtian will definitely be able to soar into the sky."
"We are all from the same sect, and we will have to rely on our junior brothers for support and care in the future."
Shortly after Chu Chen left, a group of inner disciples surrounded Ling Tian again, and they also expressed flattery.
Practitioners know very well that if you get close to masters and get close to people who have the potential to become masters, you may be of great use in the future, and you may even have great opportunities.
"I have just entered the inner sect not long ago, and my results in the competition are not bad either. Why don't you congratulate me?"
Ling Tian was not in the mood to deal with these fellow disciples at first, but Shi Yuyan was very interested, and she shouted to the fellow disciples who gathered around her.
"Junior sister Yuyan can achieve this result, which was already within our expectations."
"That's right. Although my junior sister is young, she already has the demeanor of a peerless master. Sooner or later she will become a great talent."
"Little junior sister, my name is Jin Dabao, please take good care of me in the future."
Many fellow disciples immediately set their sights on Shi Yuyan, flattering her in all kinds of ways.
Shi Yuyan enjoyed the feeling of being taken seriously. Her pretty face was as beautiful as a flower blooming.
Shi Yuyan is young and has the same vanity that many girls have.
After dealing with many of their fellow disciples, the six Lingtians returned to the waterfall. Instead of returning to the caves individually, everyone gathered together to chat.
"Come on, come on, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Sister, I will share some of my spiritual stones with you."
Shi Yuyan was very generous and took out the spirit stone reward she had just received, and then said: "If anyone doesn't accept it, they don't give me face, and I will be very angry."
Wei Guang, Wei Jiang, and Yu Qin just declined. Seeing that Shi Yuyan was very insistent and about to get angry, they each accepted two hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Shi Yuyan came in fourth in this competition and received a thousand low-grade spirit stones as a reward. At this time, she only had four hundred dollars left. However, she was very happy and did not regret the spirit stones she gave away at all.
Lu Yongshan and Ling Tian were not stingy, and they immediately took out their spiritual stone rewards. The total of 7,000 low-grade spiritual stones they received were put together and divided equally between the six of them.
In this way, each of the six Ling Tian people received more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones, which was a considerable amount of income.
Shi Ling had actually returned. He was even more pleased to see his six disciples enjoying themselves. He did not disturb them, but quietly returned to his small courtyard.
"Senior Brother Lingtian, do you want to go down the mountain and go home this time?"
After chatting for a long time, Shi Yuyan suddenly asked.
"Well……"
Ling Tian paused, then said: "Of course I have to go back and take a look."
"That's right. It hasn't been long since I paid my respects to the mountain gate. My family members are still alive, so I should go back and have a look."
Second senior brother Lu Yongshan said: "I don't need to go back. My parents passed away decades ago. Now, none of my brothers and sisters are left. There is no need to go back and disturb the younger generations.
And none of those juniors know me."
"My home is right here, so I don't need to go down the mountain." Shi Yuyan said with a smile.
Ling Tian had a complicated expression and didn't say much.
After chatting for a while, it was getting dark, so everyone went back their separate ways.
Returning to his cave, the little monster foodie immediately threw himself into Ling Tian's arms, with a look of grievance on his face.
In the inner sect competition, even magic weapons and talismans were not allowed to be used, and pets were naturally not allowed. During the last few days of the competition, the foodie was left in the cave by Ling Tian, which indeed made the foodie a little depressed.
"Are you hungry?"
Ling Tian hugged the foodie and asked softly.
"Zhizhi"
The foodie couldn't help but nod.
Ling Tian was in a good mood, and immediately took out a lot of spiritual fruits, some flesh and bones of monsters and beasts, and even took out a dozen monster beast inner elixirs of varying quality.
With food, the foodie immediately became excited and flew out of Ling Tian's arms to eat a feast.
Ling Tian went to the quiet room and sat cross-legged on the stone bed.
"It's right to go and take a look. I took over Wang Erniu's body and took away his identity in the Blue Maple Sect. This has brought great convenience to my life in this world, so naturally I should express my gratitude."
Ling Tian murmured: "Wang Erniu is dead, so I will repay his relatives."
In fact, just now, Ling Tian didn't want to see Wang Erniu's relatives in his hometown. After all, he was not Wang Erniu and had nothing to do with Wang Erniu's relatives. But if he didn't go back and take a look, he might be criticized.
and doubts... After thinking about it for a while, Ling Tian decided to go down the mountain.
Early the next morning after receiving the award from the competition, Ling Tian came to the gate of his master Shi Ling's courtyard. When he saw his master Shi Ling busy in the medicine garden of the courtyard, he clasped his fists and bowed to say hello.
"Are you going down the mountain to go home?"
Shi Ling came out of the medicine garden, walked to the door of the courtyard, and asked calmly.
"Master, I want to go home." Ling Tian respectfully replied.
"Well, I understand."
Shi Ling nodded and said: "Go back quickly, don't make any mistakes on the way, and be careful."
"Disciple understands." Ling Tian said.
"Do you still have the jade slip letter talisman I gave you last time?" Shi Ling asked again.
"Still." Ling Tian nodded and replied.
"Well, if you are in danger, crush the jade slip letter talisman and I will go and rescue you as soon as possible." Shi Ling confessed.
"Disciple, please remember." Ling Tian's expression was calm, but his heart was still warm... His brothers and master were all very good.
"Okay, let's go."
Shi Ling thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to say, so he waved his hand.
Ling Tian bowed again, then turned around and walked down the mountain.
In order not to attract attention, Ling Tian chose a very hidden path down the mountain, and even went around to the back mountain first.
Ling Tian knew that he had been targeted by Wanku Ling, and there were informants in Wanku Ling within the Lanfeng Sect, so he had to be very careful when going down the mountain this time.
However, Ling Tian felt that he was just a small role. Even if he attracted the attention of Wanku Ling, Wanku Ling would not do much for him, nor could he send strong men to the Blue Maple Sect all the time.
Waiting outside to go down the mountain.
As long as you be careful, there shouldn't be any accidents going down the mountain this time.
After walking out of Lanfeng Mountain, Ling Tian picked up the foodie and accelerated his pace, heading north quickly.
The journey was relatively smooth. To be on the safe side, when passing by Linyin Town, Ling Tian did not enter the market town but took a detour.
Following Wang Erniu's memory, Ling Tian continued to move toward the northwest of Linyin Town.
Along the way, there are all undulating mountains and forests, but these mountains and forests are outside the scope of the Kirigakure Mountains. The terrain is not rugged, and the terrain of the mountains and forests is not high.
In these mountains and forests, there are also some ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, but these ferocious beasts and poisonous insects are not a big threat to ordinary hunters, and they are not a threat to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian also passed by many small villages, but he did not stay for a moment, let alone disturb the villagers, and just kept going.
Just as Ling Tian was on his way down the mountain, Cheng Langtao and Zi Lin were sitting together again in a pavilion by a pond at the inner gate of the Blue Maple Sect.
"What happened this time? All three of Ling Tian entered the top ten, why did you fail?" Zi Lin was very dissatisfied and asked in surprise.
"snort"
Cheng Langtao's face immediately darkened. He looked at Zilin and sneered: "Are you laughing at me?"
Zilin's eyes immediately flickered a few times, and with a smile on her face, she said: "Of course not, how could I..."
"Don't think I don't know. You were in love with that Li Mingyuan before. I'm afraid you even gave him your body, right?" Cheng Langtao let go of the big hand that was holding Zi Lin's soft jade hand and stood up.
