Situ Hao breathed a long sigh of relief and looked around the audience.
"Very good, this draw is over! Let me announce the candidates again. The foundation-building disciples are: Li Mu and Kejing; the Qi-refining period disciples are: Tianjiu, Ma Peiguang, Yuwentai, Heze, Li Sanqi,
Thunder…”
"Alas!" A long sigh came, and the old Lei Ming walked out shivering.
"Master, Lei Ming thanked Master for the opportunity he gave me!"
"..." Situ Hao was speechless.
"That's right! The disciple entered the inner sect at the age of seventy. The master once said that he should take me in to support him in his old age. I have been thinking hard for so many days and finally figured it out. Instead of living in this world, it is better to go out and have a vigorous life, even if it is to go
Death is worth it!"
"Mom! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! I'm going to curse myself to death before I leave. Stay away from me!" Tianjiu bared his teeth and pointed at Lei Ming and cursed.
"Hmph, just go away if you say so! Who wants to stand with you, the God of Plague? I'm standing next to Third Master Uncle, what are you going to do with me?" Lei Ming rolled his eyes at Tianjiu and hid.
Behind Ke Jing.
Tianjiu shrugged and saw Xiao Xin looking at him pitifully next to Situ Hao, and laughed: "Xiao Xin, come here, haven't you always wanted to ride on the shooting star? I will take you to ride on it today!"
"Oh yeah! Let's ride on the shooting star!" Xiao Xin clapped her chubby hands and jumped up to Tianjiu.
Tianjiu picked up Xiao Xin and jumped onto the high platform where the teleportation array was placed a hundred feet away.
Situ Hao had no expression on his face and said numbly: "Xin'er, remember to come back early. You have to take care of the ground fire in the alchemy room. The furnace of foundation-building pills has reached the most critical moment!"
"Yes, master!" Xiao Xin replied sweetly.
Tianjiu flicked his hand, and a mid-level crystal appeared in his hand. Then, he inserted it into the groove of the teleportation array crystal, and then used his spiritual power to build a spiritual shield in front of his body, shielding him and the little one.
Xin will protect him together.
After doing this, Xiao Xin smiled and waved to greet the people in front of the temple. After a few breaths, there was a beep sound, and a stream of light shot out and penetrated directly into the gate of Tiandu Peak.
Lei Ming frowned and muttered: "What are you showing off for? I'm going to sit down, old man, because it's just a mid-level spar! When I come back from hunting the beast, I'm not sure who will be more impressive than the other!"
"..." A black line appeared on Situ Hao's face.
In Tianxing Pavilion, Tianjiu looked coldly at the dozens of people standing in the room. These were the brothers and sisters he had worked hard to cultivate for more than a year.
Wan Bao, Huben, Mi Yurong, Yu Zicong, Gui Xiaoxiao, etc. are all listed, as well as some newcomers who were trained later.
"I, Tianjiu, say it again, no one is allowed to participate in this so-called Eastern Blue Beast Hunt except me!"
"Why? The sword hall has already notified that the selection meeting will be held. Why did you rush to send word that I came back in such a hurry? Our sword hall has many places, and I still want to sign up?" Huben said dissatisfied.
"Yes, boss! After all, this is a rare opportunity. Not only can you train yourself, but you can also earn a lot of money. It would be a pity not to go!" Wan Bao said in confusion.
"There is no pity. If you want crystals, I will give them crystals. If you want elixirs, I will give them elixirs. If you want to exercise, you can go to other places. Even if you go to the crystal mines to hunt crystal beasts, you can't go to Dongcang. Wanbao, Huben.
, if you still think that I am your boss, go back and voluntarily withdraw from this selection. If you don't listen, from today on, you will no longer be my brother Tianjiu!"
"This...you...boss, you are too domineering!" Huben said with a blushing face.
Wanbao sighed, "Okay, let's go back and withdraw from the selection!" After saying that, he grabbed Huben, who was still about to argue, and flew out.
"Yu Zicong, immediately send the transmission note to Lingzhu Valley, saying that it was ordered by me, Tianjiu. Not only this time, anyone who organizes Dongcang Beast Hunting for any reason in the future will not be allowed to participate. If you violate it, you will leave Lingzhu Valley forever!
"
Tianjiu said categorically, and the solemn expression on his face made everyone shudder.
"Yes, boss!" Yu Zicong responded with clasped fists. Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Tianjiu again.
"Take this bag, it contains what Lingzhu Valley will need for most of the year. The other crystals are just for emergencies. Okay, go ahead!" Tianjiu threw a bulging treasure bag to Yu Zicong and waved his hand.
Yu Zicong didn't say anything, put away the treasure bag, turned and left.
As the morning sun rises, Tiandu Palace Square is bathed in a golden sunrise.
The four teams were arranged unevenly on the square. Sikong Xing and Ouyang De stood aside, quietly looking at the one hundred disciples in front of them, with a trace of regret emerging in the depths of their eyes.
A bearded monk, dressed in Dongcangmen costume, stood tall and prickly on the steps, with a forced smile that could not hide the slightest trace of sadness on his face.
"Headmaster Ouyang, do you want to give them some instructions?" the bearded monk asked in a low voice.
Ouyang De shook his head and waved his hand: "Let Deacon Sikong speak!"
"Ahem! Disciples, you are all my elite disciples from Tiandu Peak. This time, on behalf of Hua Chen, we go to Dongcangmen to help hunt beasts. You must do your best and fulfill your responsibilities without slacking off or shoving. If anyone loses us,
Hua Chen’s face, smear me, Hua Chen. I’ll have a good-looking one of him when I come back. All the monsters I hunted this time belong to you, and the sect won’t take anything from you. This person next to me is Tantai from Dongcangmen, Zhu.
The mid-term cultivation level is your team leader. From the moment you step out of Huachen, you must completely obey Tantai's command and make no mistakes!"
Sikong Xing said with an excited expression.
"What kind of elites are there? There are a bunch of trash!" A muttering came from the Jian Tang detachment.
"Chief Muzi, if you have any opinions, speak up. Why are you meowing there?" Sikong Xing pointed at the direction of the sword hall and shouted.
"Master Deacon, look at the Alchemy Hall staff. They only send out ten people this time, and they are either useless or old, weak, sick and disabled. Are they so deceptive? They are obviously holding us back!" Muzi snorted.
Hummed.
"Huh?!" Si Kongxing was stunned for a moment and looked towards the direction of the alchemy hall. After a while, an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
Li Mu, who has not advanced in ten years and cannot advance again - is a waste;
But Jing, her cultivation has dropped by half in the past ten years, and she can no longer advance - she is still a waste;
Lei Ming, an old man in his sixties, looks senile, what is he if he is not a waste?
Tianjiu has been declared dead. He is just sitting around waiting to die. He doesn't even need to practice anymore - he is even more of a waste.
"This Situ Hao is really an old fighter. What kind of people have he sent? One is better than the other, but he can't think of it!" Sikong Xing said to Ouyang De.
"Oh, it's too hard for him! Since he is going to die, there is nothing wrong with this. It's just a pity for Tianjiu. If he hadn't had problems with his cultivation, I would really be reluctant to let him go." Ouyang De sighed and replied.
Tianjiu stood in the crowd, looking at the bright red sun, with a look of loneliness on his face.
A solitary bird flew toward the red sun, letting out a shrill cry...
"The wind is rustling and the water is cold! A strong man will never return once he is gone!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sang loudly.
Sikong Xing was stunned and shouted: "Tianjiu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?!"
"Lord Sikong is so high up there, how can he know the thoughts of a loser like me! How can he care about the words of a loser like me?!"
"You...?!" Sikong Xing choked.
"Master! Thank you for your care for Tianjiu over the past year. I am going to Dongcang. If I can't come back, please take care of my brothers in the Spirit Pig Valley. I thank you here."
!”
Tianjiu didn't wait for Ouyang De's reply, he cupped his fists and bowed to him.
"Tch! This piece of trash is pitiful even before he leaves. What a disappointment!" Mu Zichang said disdainfully.
"Yes, Senior Brother Mu, those losers might as well die early and be reborn early. Living is a waste of resources!" A voice echoed from the queue in Fufa Hall.
"What's going on? Who is the waste?" Tantai looked at Sikong Xing displeased and asked.
"Ahem! Brother Tantai, don't think too much, it's all the disciples below who are making nonsense!" Sikong Xing said awkwardly.
"No! What's going on with that singing man? His cultivation is so weird! Or is he a Five Elements mixed spirit root? Is he an inner disciple? He's not fooling me, is he?" Tantai looked at Tianjiu and continued
asked.
Ouyang De shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sent a message to the bearded monk: "Tantai, there is something wrong with this disciple's cultivation, but his strength should not be underestimated. I'm afraid that ordinary foundation-building monks may not be his opponent! Let's go quickly.
, any further delay will only be detrimental to your Dong Cang."
"Really? Haha, Master Ouyang is too willing to give up. I, Dongcang, am really flattered!" Tantai said sarcastically.
Ouyang De looked helpless and shouted: "If you don't leave, I will return the things to you, and you can go back alone to save me from being upset. None of my disciples were cultivated by Hua Chen. How about their strength? Don't I?"
Is it clear? Old man Ji doesn’t even dare to talk to me like this, are you really flying?!"
Tantai was slightly stunned, gritted his teeth, shook his hand, and threw out a flying boat. The flying boat suddenly turned and suddenly grew to a size of thirty feet. A gorgeous giant flying boat was suspended in the air. On the left side of the boat,
A door opened, revealing a golden corner of the boat.
"This Chao Cang boat is my symbol of Dong Cang. Today I will lead everyone back to Dong Cang to participate in the hunting that has started there. All Huachen colleagues, board the boat quickly!" Tantai shouted depressedly.
Mu Zi Chang's eyes lit up, and he was the first to fly into Chao Cang Zhou, and then let out several exclamations of surprise.
Behind him, dozens of disciples eagerly squeezed into the boat with excitement.
Tianjiu shook his head helplessly, and when he saw the last Dan Hall disciple also entering, he let out a long sigh and flew in.
A burst of golden light flashed, and with a roar towards Cangzhou, it penetrated into the eastern sky. After a few breaths, it completely disappeared...
"Oh, I finally sent them away. What a sin, what a sin! It seems that I have to wait until I die and go to the Patriarch to apologize!" Ouyang De said to himself with a trembling voice.
"Master, you don't need to blame yourself too much. This is all for the sake of Hua Chen's future. As long as Dongcang does not fall, we will never have to worry about our backs and will not be in a situation of being attacked from both sides. There are only a few low-level disciples, and I, Hua Chen, am still
It’s bearable!”
Sikong Xing advised.
"Oh! Forget it, that's the only way it can be. Deacon Sikong, I think a storm is coming now, and the situation has become more complicated and confusing. I always feel that this beast wave is very complicated, and it may not necessarily contain any conspiracy. Besides,
, we are surrounded by enemies everywhere, the Dongling Four Sects have been ready to move for a long time, and they are even more determined to destroy me, we should have made some preparations in advance."
"Prepare early? What should you prepare?"
Ouyang De stared at Sikong Xing for a long time, raised his hand, and an exquisite jade box appeared in his hand, and then handed it to Sikong Xing.
"This is a Yuan Condensing Pill. You can use it to condense the Golden Pill!"
"Condensing Yuan Pill?!" Sikong Xing took the jade box, opened it and took a look in disbelief. After confirming that it was correct, his face aroused endless excitement.
"This is given to Hua Chen by Master Ji, and it is also obtained in exchange for the lives of one hundred of our Hua Chen disciples. You must cherish it and be sure to successfully condense it once!"
"Master...!! Sikong can't afford it! Why don't you give it to Junior Brother Wei? He has a better chance of promotion than me!"
"Don't worry about Qiyin's Yuan Ning Dan. I have already reserved it for him. You and he are in seclusion at the same time to attack the golden elixir this time. This is the most important fight for me, Huachen, in a hundred years!!"
"The most important fight?" Sikong Xing broke into a cold sweat.
"That's right! Look at the other four sects, none of them have more than ten golden elixirs. We, Hua Chen, only have five. If I want to die, I'm afraid that without them attacking, Hua Chen will fall apart. You and Wei Qiyin only need to
If one person enters the golden elixir, he can take over from me and lead me, Hua Chen, and the Four Gates Zhouxuan. Do you have anything else to do? Just go back as soon as possible!"
Sikong Xing was thoughtful, with a solemn expression. He was about to leave, but turned around and said: "Master! There is another strange thing. The Yinfeng Valley seems to be uneasy recently, and the Yin Qi is much richer than usual. Several groups of people went there to pick elixirs.
All the disciples were injured by ghosts, and one of them died."
"Oh? Yinfeng Valley?" Ouyang De frowned.
"Yes, this place has always been the place where our best high-level elixirs are produced in Huachen. Foundation-building disciples enter five or six batches every year, but they all follow your instructions and do not enter the core. But recently, it is difficult to even enter the outer periphery. Huo Mu
The disciples with the surname Attribution are also unable to move forward. What do you think we should do? How about asking Lan'er to go in and take a look?"
Ouyang De's face slowly turned gloomy, and after a while, he sighed: "Forget it, let's take it easy for now. It's a troubled time now. I don't want to make fun of the lives of elite disciples anymore. I'll wait until you break through the golden elixir this time before making any plans.
