Leaving the Arena Square, Lin Fan held Xiao Yu'er's hand and left with Bei Gong Lie and others towards Bei Gong's house.
After arriving at Beigong's house, Xiao Yu'er looked at the huge mansion, looking left and right with great curiosity.
"Young Hero Lin Fan!, please!"
"Master Beigong, you're welcome. This junior is not used to this."
"Well, let me tell you, seeing that you and Hao'er are similar in age, I will call you my nephew."
Lin Fan felt that he had an inexplicable affection for Bei Gong Lie, which was more special than the ordinary affection for a person, and then he said: "That's very good, then I will call you Uncle Lie!"
"Okay, hahaha! Okay, okay! My nephew is so generous. It's really rare for him to be so neither humble nor overbearing at such a young age."
"Good nephew! Let me introduce to you. This is Lao Chen's wife Qin, this is Lao Chen's eldest daughter Beigong Qinyin, this is Lao Chen's second son Beigong Haotian, this is Lao Chen's fourth daughter Beigong Caiyun, you already know Haoran
Already."
"Uncle Lie is so lucky!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Alas! Haoer and his sisters are quite well-behaved and sensible." When Bei Gonglie said this, Lin Fan clearly felt that he was a little helpless in his heart, because when he said this, Lin Fan saw the clear look in his eyes.
He glanced at Beigong Haoran.
"Come! Nephew, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine for saving my son's life today." Bei Gonglie raised his glass and toasted to a fourteen-year-old boy. This was the first time in the entire Mushroom City.
"Uncle Lie has promoted the younger generation. Being able to make friends with Uncle Lie is also a blessing for the younger generation."
"Brother Lin Fan! I wonder how you found out about my stubborn illness?" Beigong Haoran asked.
"I didn't know it at first. It wasn't until I saw you vomiting blood that I realized it wasn't that you couldn't withstand my punch, but that there was something wrong with your blood!"
"Brother Lin is really a god, he can see the stubborn illness in me so easily."
"I didn't see what kind of illness you were suffering from, I just saw a trace of black gas in the blood you spit out. This is not something that happens to normal people, so I inferred that you must have been poisoned by some kind of poison.
And it’s accumulated over many years.”
"Please make it clear, nephew!" Bei Gonglie could naturally hear what Lin Fan was referring to.
"Uncle Lie! I wonder if you can take me to the place where Brother Haoran rests to take a look?"
"Of course, Hao'er! Take us to your room to have a look."
"Yes, father!" Beigong Haoran raised his hand to signal Lin Fan to go first, which seemed more polite.
After Lin Fan followed Bei Gong Lie and his son to Bei Gong Haoran's room, Lin Fan had the Nine Nether Alchemy Technique, and he could easily detect the explanations, smells, combinations, etc. of various medicines. He was the first one after entering the door.
At a glance, Lin Fan saw that Beigong Haoran's room contained no less than twenty drugs that could cause him to suffer from various chronic terminal diseases.
"Uncle Lie! Is Brother Haoran your blood?"
"Of course it is! Why, nephew! What do you mean by this?" Lin Fan's words confused the entire Beigong family.
Lin Fan grabbed Bei Gong Lie's left wrist, and his true energy entered Bei Gong Lie's veins. Lin Fan frowned.
"Huagu Mingsan?" Lin Fan couldn't help but said after following the Beigong family to explore the entire mansion.
"Good nephew! What is Huagu Mingsan?"
"Uncle Lie! If my guess is correct, your entire mansion is filled with all kinds of deadly poisons. It's just that these strange poisons are only effective when they are slowly fused from several or even dozens to hundreds of poisons."
After saying that, Lin Fan asked Bei Gong Lie to take him around the entire Beigong Mansion. When he met the heirs of the Bei Gong family, he used his true energy to explore his veins. The results he got made Bei Gong Lie's back straight.
Breaking into a cold sweat.
"Uncle Lie! Your whole family has been poisoned, and someone is trying to destroy your whole family!" Lin Fan looked at Bei Gong Lie, who had a sad face.
"How can you say this, nephew?" Beigong Lie said angrily.
"Uncle Lie! There is absolutely no problem in taking out the flowers, plants and trees in your house and courtyard, including the furniture and wood in the house, and the incense everywhere. But taking these things together is equivalent to
A chronic strange poison."
"Brother Lin! According to what you said, why is it that only my brother is suffering from the poison? The rest of us have no obvious symptoms?" Beigong Caiyun who was following asked.
"That's because the main formula of this poison is only found in your brother's room." Lin Fan said.
"What is the main formula? Brother Lao Linfan can tell me." Beigong Haoran said excitedly.
"Brother Haoran, do you like the pot of purple core orchid on your windowsill?"
"I like it, I like it very much! The fragrance of the orchid is very good. Whenever I am sick, as long as I can smell the fragrance of the orchid, I will feel much relieved." Beigong Haoran said, with an expression on his face that was particularly reminiscent of that time.
The attitude of planting the fragrance of orchids.
"That's right. Purple Heart Orchid is the main ingredient of Hua Gu Ming Powder, which is why you are the only one who has been severely poisoned. According to my observation, except for your room, everyone else's room is full of poison.
There is no purple-core orchid; although it can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, it has not bloomed."
"As far as I know, this Hua Gu Ming Powder was prepared by a Poison Master from the Northern Demon Cult. Its poison requires ninety-nine medicinal materials plus one main medicine; its toxicity can be acute or slow, such as
By carefully blending all the medicinal materials, the poisoned person will instantly turn into nothing, not even the bones will be left."
"If all the medicinal materials are gathered in one place, people will slowly be poisoned if they absorb the smell emitted by these medicinal materials for a long time. My nephew wonders why Uncle Lie's house gathered all the medicinal materials for this strange poison formula. It must be
Someone did it on purpose..." Lin Fan explained to Bei Gonglie's family the origin and poisonous effects of the Huagu Mingsan as he walked.
"Does Uncle Lie know about Wangyue Sect?" Lin Fan asked Beigong Lie after returning to the main room and sitting down.
"Nephew, you mentioned the Wangyue Sect, what do you want to say?" Bei Gonglie was shocked again, how did this young boy know about the Wangyue Sect in the far north.
"Does Uncle Lie know about the Dragon Soul Jade? If Uncle Lie has something to hide, you don't have to say it, but this is related to the lives of your entire Beigong family."
Bei Gonglie let out a long sigh after hearing this. He guessed, "This child's surname is Lin, and he mentioned the Dragon Soul Jade. Could it be that he is..."
Bei Gonglie boldly told Lin Fan a past incident. He guessed that Lin Fan might be related to his junior brother Lin Feng, and then said: "That was thirty years ago. I, four junior brothers and two junior sisters were in Beijing.
Something happened on Yujian Peak in Xiaoyao Palace."
"It was a crisp autumn night. My junior brothers and sisters and I were drinking in the courtyard. A cluster of blue flames illuminated the entire peak. My junior brothers and sisters and I quickly climbed to the top to investigate. Although the blue flame was only for a moment, it still allowed us to
found it."
"That was a man, an immortal, but he was seriously injured and dying. He gave each of the seven of us a kit, and his last words were to let us run away. After hearing this, we feared something might happen, so we went down the mountain all the way.
, and then the seven brothers and sisters agreed to go their separate ways. Then I came to this remote town in the Southern Territory to get married and have children. I don’t know what the current situation of the other brothers and sisters is like?"
"Excuse me, Uncle Lie, what did you all get at that time? ... This junior has no other meaning, I just feel that this may be related to the objects you got."
"At that time, our senior brothers and sisters each got the exercises suitable for their own cultivation. Only junior brother Lin got a dragon soul jade pendant and a hairpin."
After listening to this, Lin Fan discovered that his father was actually a disciple of Xiaoyao Palace in the Northern Territory, which made him unbelievable.
Lin Fan knew that the questions he asked were too confidential. Will Bei Gong Lie tell him that he didn't have high hopes?
"By the way, nephew, the Wangyue Sect you just mentioned is a sect that is both good and evil. According to the spies, the Wangyue Sect was ordered to investigate what happened back then. Not long ago, He Biyong, the elder of the Wangyue Sect, led a group of people
My subordinates have been to Mushroom City, but they have not come to look for old people."
"To be honest, Uncle Lie, I am the son of your junior brother Lin Feng." Lin Fan said.
After hearing this, Bei Gonglie stood up from his chair and looked at Lin Fan.
"Junior Brother Lin... where is your father now? Is he still well?"
"My father fell off a cliff and disappeared six years ago. I heard that he was rescued."
"Nephew Lin, this is something I never expected! After thirty years, I can finally meet the first descendant of my junior brothers. Just now you mentioned the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant and your surname is Lin, so I doubted you
It must be related to Junior Brother Lin."
Bei Gonglie was trembling a little when he spoke excitedly.
"Uncle Lie, my nephew is confused. How can we explain these strange poisons from the Northern Territory in your home? Are there any people from the Northern Territory living in Uncle Lie's family?"
"This...I'm going to ask someone to investigate now." Bei Gonglie called two people who looked like assassins, one male and one female.
"Uncle Lie! These two people?"
"They are the two people I trust the most. I can feel more at ease only if I let them investigate this matter."
Bei Gonglie didn't explain why these two people were the people he trusted the most, but from the way he held them, Lin Fan didn't pay much attention.
Lin Fan stayed at Bei Gong's house all night. After giving Bei Gong Lie some antidotes, he was about to leave to participate in today's recruitment competition. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by two people walking towards him.
"Master Nephew Lin, don't be anxious. I still have something to discuss with you." It was the woman who spoke.
Lin Fan heard the other party calling him his nephew, so he took Xiao Yu'er and returned to the main room of Beigong's house with the two of them.
"Senior Nephew Lin, these two are your Uncle Qiu and Uncle Leng." Bei Gonglie looked at the two of them and introduced Lin Fan.
Although Lin Fan was shocked after hearing this, these two people turned out to be Bei Gonglie's younger brother and younger sister. Lin Fan saluted them and said, "Hello, Master Qiu! Hello, Master Leng!"
"I hope that Senior Nephew Lin will not talk about this matter to anyone else for the time being; according to our investigation, this matter is not that simple. If you are not careful, you may encounter disaster."
"Then I should call you uncle from now on."
"What a sensible child! But you are still relatively young, so please be careful when traveling and don't trust anyone." Leng Qingshuang looked at Lin Fan and said.
"Thank you, uncle, for your teaching. I will keep it in mind."
After chatting with a few people about the past, Lin Fan said goodbye and left Beigong's house with Xiao Yu'er in hand.
"Senior brother! My sister-in-law was once a maid of Wangyue Sect in the Northern Territory."
Bei Gonglie was not too surprised when he heard this, because he had been thinking about it since Lin Fan told him last night. In addition to his biological children and junior brothers and sisters, the people in his family were the rest.
Most of his servants were aborigines here. Only his wife was whom he accidentally met on the street. She was bullied by Bei Gonglie and was easily saved by a few gangsters.
"Senior brother! If you can't do it, just leave it to me?" Qiu Baiwu said.
"Absolutely not. Junior brother, do you know that my Beigong family will have no worries for the time being while she is alive. If she dies and the Wangyue Sect cannot receive any news about me, what will happen?"
"Senior brother is right. We can only hope that several children can enter the sect now. At least the Wangyue Sect does not dare to go to the Southern Territory sect to kill people at will..."
Lin Fan led Xiao Yu'er to the competition arena square. The whole square was crowded with people, but it was not very noisy. Lin Fan and Xiao Yu'er came to the seat where a hundred champions sat down.
About half an hour later, the voice of City Lord Shen Wanshan sounded on the stage.
"Dear fellow villagers and elders, and young talents, the once-a-decade recruitment of our six major sects in the Southern Region is grandly held here today. I hope that all the young talents who can enter the sects will work hard to practice and serve the sect and our South. The domain has contributed its greatest strength. Now I would like to invite the leaders of each sect to speak!"
After Shen Wanshan finished speaking, six people suddenly stood up on the stage, two men and four women.
"On behalf of the Nanji Sect, I welcome all the younger generations to join. However, if there is competition, there will be elimination, and if there is pressure, there will be motivation. Our Nanji Sect will recruit five of you young people under the age of 20 as this year's new disciples ." The person in charge of the Nanji Sect is a man in his early forties.
"I would like to welcome you to join the Quicksand Sect. I won't say much else. Let's see how you behave!" The leader of the Quicksand Sect is a woman in her thirties who dresses like an aborigine.
"On behalf of the Lingyun Sect, I would like to welcome all the junior brothers and sisters. We only have five places! If you want to join, you have to perform well." The person in charge of the Lingyun Sect turned out to be a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"I represent the Qingshuang Sect. We only accept female disciples, with a quota of five." The person in charge of the Qingshuang Sect is also a glamorous woman in her thirties.
"I am the person in charge of the Wonderful Sound Sect this time. My name is Ren Fei'er. I welcome all the little sisters to join us! All our members of the Wonderful Sound Sect are women, so we do not recruit male disciples! But we can get to know each other. Let’s have a chance to discuss martial arts together!” The person in charge of the Wonderful Sound Sect is a charming woman, probably in her twenties, but she is definitely more than that.
"I am here to recruit new disciples on behalf of the Sword Sect. My name is Lan Mei, and I am a freshman from the previous level. As long as you have the ability and are worthy of me, you can join, but there are only five places." There is also a female person in charge.
"Now, all qualified young people are invited to come to the stage to draw lots." Shen Wanshan said while standing in the center of the high platform.
One hundred people on the stage came to a lottery bucket in an orderly manner, each drew a wooden sign, and then returned to their seats.
"Now, please invite the people who were drawn from one to ten to step onto the ten stages." Shen Wanshan said.
The people on the stage who were drawn from one to ten also walked onto the stage according to what he said.
“The following people are invited to take the challenge by drawing numbers between ninety-one and one-hundred. Those who win will be promoted; those who lose can challenge by name after the first round. If they win the challenge, they will take their place and continue to the second round. ."
Fifty people will be eliminated directly in this first round, which is indeed efficient; Shen Wanshan is worthy of being the lord of Mushroom City.
The challenge ended quickly, and the winning team continued to sit down to recover and heal. The losing team was arranged to stand on the other side of the stage.
"Now, please invite those who drew 11 to 20 to come on stage, and those who drew 81 to 90 to come on stage to challenge."
Lin Fan drew twenty-five, and Xiao Yu'er drew eighty-five. What a coincidence. Lin Fan immediately admitted defeat when he came on stage, allowing Xiao Yu'er to advance.
The first round of the allocation challenge ended quickly.
"If you losers want to challenge, please come forward."
"I, Lan Hai, challenge Fu Yuecheng." A voice sounded.
"I Shen Yuncai challenges Zhang Wang." Another voice sounded.
"I, Tan Feihong, challenge Mo Dewen."
"I, Lin Fan, challenge Su Baoning."
"…………"
"Is there anyone else you want to challenge?"
There was a moment of silence in the audience.
"Okay! Very good! There are eight challengers and eight challengers. Please come to the stage to compete. The loser will be eliminated directly, and the winner will advance to the second round."
When Lin Fan came on stage, his opponent's legs trembled when he saw him, and then he turned around and ran off the stage. Several people in charge on the high stage had strange looks on their faces. The young man first gave way to a little girl, and now another person directly gave way to him. He, this time simply admitting defeat is not as good as before. Just now he admitted defeat and it was still possible to challenge, but those who admit defeat now mean that they have no chance of recruiting new people.
"The competition is still fierce! Let's start the second round of competition." Shen Wanshan stood on the high platform and looked at the victorious people, including his three children, and couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Here are numbers one to fifty. Let's start drawing lots now."
The remaining fifty people continued to draw lots and returned to their seats after the drawing.
"Please let those who draw numbers one to ten go to the ring separately."
This time Lin Fan and Xiao Yu'er both walked up. Lin Fan drew one and Xiao Yu'er drew nine.
"If any of you forty people want to challenge them on stage, you can name them. The ten people on stage who are not challenged by anyone will win directly."
"…………"
"Don't any of you want to challenge ten of them?"
"The ten people on the stage will win directly. The winner please come directly to the high stage. Now please invite numbers 11 to 20 to come up to the stage to accept the challenge."
After Shen Wanshan finished speaking, ten more people came onto the ring, but this time only two people won directly. Three were directly defeated by the challengers, and five relied on their strength to hold on to their position as champion.
Just challenge each other in this way and eliminate twenty people very quickly. The thirty victors were quickly determined. It was also thanks to Shen Wanshan's preparations for the ring one month in advance that the finals were so fast. .
