Seeing Ye Qingchen's expression of doubt, Xiao Lin opened his mouth to explain to him.
The "Xuanyu Ranking Competition" is a competition set up by the senior officials of Xuanyu Academy to stimulate the competitive spirit of the inner courtyard disciples.
There is a ranking list in the inner courtyard, with a total of one hundred rankings.
Disciples of the inner court who are on the ranking list will have certain rights to access resources.
At the same time, the pavilions above the third floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion and the Weapons Pavilion will also be open to them.
The inner court disciples who are among the top ten in the rankings not only have the above permissions, but also have a quota to enter the "Yingxing Pool"!
At the same time, you can also choose any dean as your teacher!
And if the top ten inner court disciples who have accepted the elder as their teacher can rise in the top ten rankings, then the ranking of the inner court elder who accepts them as disciples will also rise accordingly.
In Xiao Lin's words, this ranking battle is also equivalent to a test of the inner dean's ability to cultivate elders.
If an inner dean elder cannot even cultivate top disciples, then what kind of elder can he be?
And it just so happened that among the ten elders in the inner circle, only Xiao Lin and the tenth elder were left without accepting disciples.
After listening to Xiao Lin's explanation, Ye Qingchen finally finished thinking.
He nodded slightly: "In that case, I will agree."
This kind of ranked battle is also very good for him.
It's just a good time to take advantage of this ranking match to see how far he can cultivate in Xuanyu Academy!
"You...you agreed?"
Xiao Lin didn't react for a while.
Seeing Ye Qingchen nodding again, he woke up from a dream and laughed loudly:
"Hahahaha... It seems that I am really lucky today! I have received such a good disciple!"
Seeing Xiao Lin like this, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but be speechless.
As a dignified elder in the inner circle, can you be a little more reserved?
"Come on, come on, since you have become my disciple, come in quickly! It's cold outside, come in and say something!"
Xiao Lin quickly took Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan into Xuanyu Academy.
The two guards carefully glanced at their retreating figures and couldn't help but shook their heads and said:
"I didn't expect that the dignified elder Xiao Lin would be so pleased with a junior..."
While they were whispering to each other, a voice full of pressure came into their ears, making them tremble immediately.
"Don't say a word about what you just saw! Otherwise..."
The two guards shuddered and quickly returned to their posts.
In college.
Ye Qingchen and the two followed Xiao Lin and walked towards the inner courtyard.
When they passed the outer courtyard area, the disciples from the outer courtyard noticed them and couldn't help but look surprised.
"Isn't that Elder Xiao Lin from the inner courtyard? Who are the man and woman behind him?"
"I don't know who the man is, but I have a vague impression of the woman...she seems to be the daughter of the Ning family!"
"The Ning family? The Ning family where no one can enter the inner courtyard?"
"Yes, I don't know why the eldest lady of the Ning family appears here, and she seems to know Elder Xiao Lin!"
"I guess I got to know Elder Xiao Lin through some kind of connection. For a big family like theirs, it's not easy to get such a connection."
"Going through the back door of Xuanyu Academy, huh, you are really shameless."
The discussion of the disciples in the outer courtyard reached the ears of Ye Qingchen and the two of them.
Ye Qingchen remained expressionless, but Ning Suyan couldn't help but become slightly angry.
She looked back at Ye Qingchen and asked, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry?"
Ye Qingchen asked back: "What good will it do me to be angry with these insignificant little characters?"
Hearing this, Ning Suyan nodded and then calmed down.
Xiao Lin, who was walking in front, smiled slightly and suddenly stopped in front of a gate.
I saw a barrier suddenly appearing on the gate.
On the barrier, an old voice came out:
"Xiao Lin, these two people you brought are..."
Xiao Lindao: "One of them is the disciple I just accepted, and the other is his friend."
The voice seemed slightly dissatisfied:
"Xiao Lin, you have never accepted a disciple in the inner courtyard for so many years, but now you have accepted an outsider as a disciple."
"Do you know what you mean?"
"Of course I know."
Xiao Lin said expressionlessly: "But so what? Does the academy have regulations that prohibit accepting people from outside the academy as disciples?"
"Many of the elders of the foreign dean can recruit talents from outside and directly accept them as disciples, why can't I?"
The voice was immediately choked by Xiao Lin's words and became speechless.
"Forget it, you will regret it later anyway."
The voice said: "However, your disciple can go in with you, but the other one cannot go in."
Hearing this, Ning Suyan's pretty face suddenly showed a look of anxiety.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and said: "I can go and recognize the tenth elder of the inner courtyard as my teacher! Please ask him to accept me as his disciple!"
"How presumptuous! Do you think anyone, the inner dean, can accept his teacher casually?!"
The voice shouted coldly.
"This senior, she is my friend. If you are worried that she will be detrimental to the college in the future, I can guarantee that this will never happen!"
Ye Qingchen spoke out.
That voice seemed to want to say something else, but Xiao Lin already frowned and shouted coldly:
"Old Qin! I brought you here. If anything goes wrong in the future, I will shoulder the responsibility!"
"You... forget it, since you said so, just do what you want!"
There was anger in the voice, which gradually disappeared.
The barrier also disappeared at the same time.
"Okay, let's go in."
Xiao Lin waved his sleeves and walked in immediately.
"Master Ye, thank you very much..."
Ning Suyan's beautiful eyes were slightly gleaming with gratitude.
"You are my friend, so naturally I want to help you."
Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "By the way, you should just call me by my name from now on. Young Master, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
"Okay, then I will call you by your name from now on." Ning Suyan said with beautiful eyes.
After entering the inner courtyard.
Sensing the aura here, Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan looked shocked at the same time.
"The spiritual energy here is so full! If you practice here for a period of time, you will definitely make great progress!"
"If you want to come here, you must have some kind of treasure that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"
Ye Qingchen was shocked.
"Even the cultivation environment in the inner courtyard of Xuanyu College is so good, so the inner courtyard of Qingyun College must not be much different!"
"No wonder Xi Haoyue wants to kill me no matter what, and take away the title of number one in the outer courtyard. He probably wants to use this to obtain a good enough cultivation environment in the inner courtyard!"
As soon as he thought about it, Ye Qingchen finally understood why the woman treated him like that.
"This is the inner courtyard of my Xuanyu Academy. Practicing here is many times faster than practicing outside!"
Xiao Lin said with some pride.
He stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance: "There is a 'Yingxing Pond' over there, which is the forbidden area of my Xuanyu Academy, and it is also a secret realm."
"If a disciple at the peak of the Guiyuan Realm enters it for body tempering, there is a 60% chance that he can directly advance to the Star Gathering Realm!"
Directly enter the Star Gathering Realm!
Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan were immediately shocked.
"If you want to enter it and practice, then you have to work hard and strive to get the top ten rankings in the 'Xuanyu Ranking Competition'."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes.
Although with his current cultivation level, he is still far away from the Star Gathering Realm.
But since there is such a good place for cultivation right in front of you, you can’t take advantage of others!
"Next, let's go to the ten elders first."
Xiao Lin glanced sideways at Ning Suyan: "Since you said what you just said, you must be responsible for yourself."
"Do you get me?"
Ning Suyan's face was slightly solemn and she nodded: "I understand."
Xiao Lin nodded and immediately led them to the tenth elder's residence.
When Xiao Lin announced his name, the door opened.
A middle-aged woman wearing a blue robe came out.
Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan were stunned at the same time.
The tenth elder of the inner court turns out to be a woman?
"Elder Xiao, what kind of wind brought you here today?"
The woman smiled.
In front of this woman, Xiao Lin became obviously cautious.
He coughed a few times and said, "I brought them in. The boy among them is my new direct disciple, and the other girl wants to come and become your disciple."
"This is the tenth elder of the inner court, Wen Ziling." Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other at the same time.
Wen Ziling's eyes focused on Ye Qingchen for a few seconds, then she frowned slightly and said:
"Although this young man does look extraordinary, he is not enough to be accepted as your direct disciple, right?"
A direct disciple of an inner dean elder must have a cultivation level in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm no matter what.
And she could clearly see that Ye Qingchen was only at the peak of the Ningzhen Realm!
How could he be qualified to become a direct disciple?
"Then you are absolutely wrong."
Xiao Lin said mysteriously: "He is the Ningzhen Realm boy who defeated Zhang Kuangxiang a few days ago!"
After a long time, she came back to her senses, her eyes filled with unstoppable envy.
"I didn't expect you to be so lucky to have harvested such a good seedling."
After the words fell, Wen Ziling knew that she was not qualified to compete with Xiao Lin for Ye Qingchen, so she turned her attention to Ning Suyan.
Before she could say anything, Ning Suyan already said:
"Elder Wen, I want to be your disciple! No matter how strict your requirements are, I will definitely work hard to complete them!"
"Please accept me as your disciple!"
After saying that, she bowed heavily.
Wen Ziling was stunned for a moment.
She could see that this girl obviously came from a well-off family and had not experienced much fierce competition.
But she was able to say these words, which shows that she must have a goal in her heart that she needs to work hard to get closer to.
Wen Ziling couldn't help but glance at Ye Qingchen, and she suddenly understood.
She walked over, gently helped Ning Suyan up, and said with a chuckle:
"Since you have such a character, if I reject you again, it seems that I am too cold-blooded."
"Forget it, even this guy Xiao Lin has a disciple, so it's time for me to accept a disciple."
Hearing this, Ning Suyan stood up quickly, her pretty face full of surprise.
"Really? Are you willing to accept me as your disciple?"
"Of course. Not only that, from now on, you will be my only direct disciple!"
Wen Ziling said with a smile.
Ning Suyan was overjoyed and looked back at Ye Qingchen: "I succeeded! Like you, I have become a direct disciple!"
Ye Qingchen smiled and nodded: "Congratulations, we will work hard together in the future."
"Yeah!" Ning Suyan nodded heavily.
"Then I won't bother you. I still have to make an identity token for this kid."
Xiao Lin said hello and then took Ye Qingchen away.
After a while, Ye Qingchen arrived at Xiao Lin's residence.
This is a quiet courtyard with a quiet and peaceful environment.
Not only that, Ye Qingchen could clearly feel that the spiritual energy here seemed to be more abundant than that at the entrance to the inner courtyard.
"This is where you will sleep and practice from now on."
Xiao Lin pointed to one of the rooms and said.
"Then I will go in and practice first."
Ye Qingchen nodded, said hello to Xiao Lin, then entered the room and closed the door.
He could not wait to enjoy this heavenly cultivation environment.
"This kid is really anxious..."
Xiao Lin shook his head and immediately began to make Ye Qingchen's identity token.
At this moment, on the other side of the inner courtyard.
In a small courtyard.
A man in a green robe sat quietly in the room, exhaling and inhaling a large amount of spiritual energy.
"Brother Liu, are you here? I'm Zhang Kuangxiang!"
At this time, an anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
The green-robed man frowned slightly and said calmly: "If you have something to say, just tell me."
"Brother, I saw the boy who defeated me enter the inner courtyard! It seems he also entered Elder Xiao Lin's residence!"
"Looking at it like this, he seems to have become Elder Xiao Lin's disciple!"
Hearing this, the man in green robe slowly opened his eyes.
"It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road..."
The green-robed man muttered to himself, and then raised his voice a bit.
"Let the word go out. In three days, I, Liu Juefeng, will have a showdown with Elder Xiao Lin's disciples!"
"I'm going to force him out, and then crush him to death like an ant..."
The man in green robe spoke casually, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
