That petite and exquisite figure was none other than Duan Tianjiao, the alchemy genius who was in Donghuang.
Now that they have not seen each other for several years, Duan Tianjiao's appearance has not changed much, but there is a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes. It is obvious that no one can live an easy life in Dan Valley.
"Long San, you are finally here." Duan Tianjiao was sitting in a pavilion, holding a thick bone book in his hand, probably studying something.
In the mortal world, most secretaries are made of paper or animal skin paper, but within the sect, some classics are often made of soul jade. On the one hand, they are easy to study, and on the other hand, they can be preserved for a long time.
The soul jade sign also has its shortcomings, that is, the profound runes cannot be carved into the jade sign, so the sect will use the bones of high-level monsters to make bone books.
The runes on these bone books can be clearly preserved, and they also contain the soul marks left by the strong men when they were carved, making it easy for future generations to understand.
Duan Tianjiao can also be considered a beauty. She has beautiful eyes, almond eyes and cherry lips, and a petite body, which makes her very lovable.
At this time, Tianjiao looked at Long Chen, with a hint of complexity in her beautiful eyes, and she slightly stepped aside and said:
"Please take a seat."
"Then you're welcome."
Long Chen sat next to Duan Tianjiao and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really emotional to think about the past."
"Yes, when we were in Donghuang back then, I remember we were in hostile camps. At that time, Long San, you were very fierce." Duan Tianjiao seemed to remember all the things that happened in Donghuang back then, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Back then Long Chen, Chai Liehuo, and Fang Chang were against Huo Wufang, and the two sides fought to the death, which was extremely fierce.
Later, after the competition, Duan Tianjiao left Donghuang with Master Ta Zong, not knowing everything that happened next.
"No, no, now that I've arrived at the Pill Valley, I'm still a human being with my tail between my legs. I'm afraid I'll need more care from you, Senior Sister Tianjiao, in the future." Long Chen said with a smile.
After all, Duan Tianjiao came three years earlier than Long Chen. This senior sister is indeed worthy of the title. Long Chen still needs to get to know the Shendan Hall through Duan Tianjiao.
"I don't dare to take care of you. Senior sister, please don't scream. I can't protect myself now. My monthly ranking is always hovering in the bottom thirty. Maybe I will be squeezed out one day." Duan Tianjiao shook her jade.
First way.
"It's already great to be able to enter the Divine Pill Hall." Long Chen comforted with a smile. It seems that Duan Tianjiao is not doing well, and she lives in fear every day.
"Long San, you have just entered the Shendan Pavilion and have a two-month rest period. You must seize this opportunity and study in the Shendan Pavilion. There are countless classics in it, which will be of great help to you.
In addition, don’t get involved in faction disputes, otherwise it will be very troublesome and you will not be able to practice with peace of mind. Newcomers who join the faction will not be able to gain a foothold." Duan Tianjiao warned in a low voice.
The newcomer couldn't gain a foothold? Long Chen suddenly understood why Zhuo Tianxiang didn't express his position to Long Chen from the beginning. I'm afraid this was to give Long Chen a chance to gain a foothold.
In fact, Long Chen guessed half of it right. Zhuo Tianxiang wanted Long Chen to quickly establish himself and have his own status in the Divine Pill Hall.
But Long Chen is a newcomer. If he reveals his identity from the beginning, he may be ostracized immediately and become the target of attacks.
Zhuo Tianxiang thought about it and decided to let Long Chen go for it on his own. Since he was a Danbishi disciple, there was no need to hide it. However, he did not reveal Long Chen's identity clearly, so he was still observing.
Anyway, there is a two-month rest period. With Long Chen's talent, they are not worried about being squeezed out of the Divine Pill Hall. They hope that Long Chen will explode under pressure. They don't need a weakling who can't beat him with three sticks.
"Okay, I understand." Long Chen nodded.
"In addition, both camps will use soft or hard means to force you to join. Anyway, if you don't agree to both sides, you should always remain neutral. As time goes by, they will not bully you." Duan Tianjiao continued.
This feels a bit like children playing house, a bit childish, but think about it, these disciples, who have never been exposed to anything except elixirs, do have IQs a bit like children.
"You still don't know how to look at the rankings, right?" Duan Tianjiao asked.
"Indeed, not yet." Long Chen really didn't know how to look at the rankings.
Duan Tianjiao asked for Long Chen's nameplate and pressed on a raised spot behind the nameplate.
"Click"
The back cover of the nameplate turned up, and a small mirror-like crystal appeared inside. There was a pattern carved on the crystal, but Long Chen couldn't understand what it was.
"Ranked 2306? I just entered the Divine Alchemy Hall, how can I have such a high ranking?" Duan Tianjiao was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his pretty face.
You know, usually the disciples who enter the Shendan Hall are ranked very low, but in order to take care of the newcomers, as long as the newcomer's strength is not too bad, they will not appear among the last three.
This is a benefit and opportunity reserved for newcomers, but usually their rankings will be among the bottom ten, but Long Chen was ranked so high, which surprised Duan Tianjiao.
"How did this ranking come out?" Long Chen asked. He didn't care about the ranking. Anyway, he knew that he would definitely not be at the bottom.
"This ranking is the comprehensive score given by the invigilators. It is very authoritative. Long San, it seems that your future is limitless in the future. Remember to support my little sister in the future." Duan Tianjiao said with a smile.
"That's a must. We are fellow villagers and we should help each other." Long Chen patted his chest and said with a smile. When he came to Dan Valley and saw Li Kang and Duan Tianjiao, Long Chen felt very friendly.
"However, if you join the neutral camp, don't run to the inner gate, as it will cause their dissatisfaction.
Because everything about the Shendan Hall is a secret to the inner sect, those inner sect disciples who enter the Shendan Hall will try their best to win over to their own camp.
If you reveal it, people on both sides will be offended, and no matter how talented you are, you may not be able to gain a foothold in the Shendan Hall." Duan Tianjiao said.
Long Chen suddenly realized. No wonder Li Kang said that Duan Tianjiao never talked to him again after entering the Shendan Hall. It turned out that there was still this rule.
Thinking about it, if everyone who comes in joins the neutral camp, it will not be a good thing for both parties.
No wonder those women warned Long Chen well when they first came in, but they aroused the dissatisfaction of the three people. The words in their mouths were full of threats. It turned out that those women had violated taboos with what they said, and they couldn't help but express their dissatisfaction with those three people.
Several women were even more grateful.
These days, everyone is cleaning up the snow in front of their own house. Who cares about the frost on other people's tiles? There are indeed too few people with good intentions.
Although Long Chen and Duan Tianjiao are fellow villagers, Duan Tianjiao could say so many words at the risk of offending others. Long Chen also kept this feeling in his heart.
"Long San, try to be as low-key as possible when entering the Divine Alchemy Hall. Hurry up and enter the Divine Alchemy Pavilion. All the alchemy classics in the Alchemy Valley are gathered there. It's best to go in and don't come out until the assessment begins. Cherish every minute of study time.
." Duan Tianjiao said.
"Okay, I'll go take a look right now."
Long Chen nodded and was about to stand up when suddenly more than a dozen disciples from the Shendan Hall surrounded Long Chen and Duan Tianjiao.
"Long San, you have such a big burden, you dare to hit our people?" Looking at the clothes, it was clear that he was the same group as the three people who were beaten by Long Chen before.
Seeing those people appear, Duan Tianjiao's face turned slightly pale, and she was obviously very afraid of these people.
"Little bitch, are you having an affair with this Long San? Do you not want to hang out in the Shendan Hall..."
"Snapped"
A disciple pointed at Duan Tianjiao and yelled, but Long Chen slapped him in the face so hard that half of his face was shattered. He flew far away and passed out without even making a sound.
Everyone was shocked, including Long Chen himself. His slap was simply a habit. If he hadn't been alert and hastily withdrawn 90% of his strength, the man would have been slapped to death.
The main reason was that Long Chen couldn't have anyone in front of him, pointing at a weak woman and yelling at her, which almost caused a disaster.
"Get out of here. If anyone targets me again, I will beat him to death today."
Long Chen was really angry. He didn't care if anyone dealt with him, but attacking the people around him was an intolerable behavior.
Long Chen's roar, like the roar of an angry dragon, shook the surrounding areas. Many people were attracted by the situation here and looked over.
"Boy, I see you don't want to hang out in the Shendan Hall anymore." The leading strong man said angrily.
"Hunniema"
Long Chen suddenly took action and grabbed the man. The man snorted, swayed his shoulders, and unexpectedly avoided Long Chen's hands. He kicked Long Chen's waist and went straight to Long Chen's weak spot. It turned out to be a
Melee master.
He avoids moves and strikes out, and executes them in one go. His moves are so fierce that the disciples who came with him cheered loudly.
"Snapped"
But just in the middle of their cheers, they seemed to be cut off by a knife. Long Chen actually grabbed the man's big foot.
"roll"
Long Chen grabbed the man's feet, like throwing a sandbag, turned half a circle in the air, and threw it at those people.
The disciples were shocked and hurriedly reached out to catch it. As a result, Long Chen's power was so great that the disciples were hit with blood spurting from their mouths and flew far away like gourds rolling on the ground.
"Pa bang bang..."
"Beautiful, this brother has such handsome skills, I wonder what you would call him?" At this moment, another group of people came from a distance, with small spears embroidered on their collars.
"I'm here, Long San." Long Chen clasped his fists. He knew in his heart that these were his "own people".
"Long San, that senior Bishi's closed disciple?" The man couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that, obviously he knew something.
"Yes, who is this brother?"
"Haha, little brother Zhang Yutao, I didn't expect to see Brother Long here. Come on, let's find a place to catch the wind for Brother Long." Zhang Yutao said with a smile.
Long Chen nodded and said hello to Duan Tianjiao, but saw that Duan Tianjiao had a worried look on his face, knowing that she was worried that Long Chen would join Zhang Yutao's camp, and disputes would continue from then on.
Long Chen smiled and reassured Duan Tianjiao that Long Chen had already joined their camp and left with Zhang Yutao and his group.
Those disciples who had been beaten by Long Chen could only watch Zhang Yutao take Long Chen away with resentment in their eyes.
