Tan Zhongchi chewed on Qin Wushuang's words and murmured: "A sense of crisis..."
Suddenly, his expression condensed, he stared at Qin Wushuang with deep eyes, and asked seriously: "Wushuang, as you said, how should we train disciples in Xingluo Palace?"
"As a new disciple, I don't dare to overstep my bounds. However, when my master asks, I dare not refuse to answer. I believe that the disciples of Xingluo Palace should go out, instead of remaining self-sufficient and practicing hard in the Lingxiao Mountains.
."
Tan Zhongchi sighed: "Going out... This matter is easier said than done. Wushuang, you don't know much about the situation in Tianxuan Continent. Going out is easy to say, but if you really want to go out, it's hard to do it."
It really takes a lot of thinking. But you will get such an opportunity soon."
"Opportunity?" Zhou Fu blinked, "Master, what kind of opportunity?"
Tan Zhongchi said with a smile: "The first day of the first lunar month is the day when our Xingluo Palace conducts annual ancestor worship. At that time, the top ten core disciples will be publicly commended and awarded. At that time, the master of the hall will personally mention this to you.
.This is what I told you before the core disciple ranking competition. There will be special rewards for the top ten. This opportunity to go out is a special reward!"
Hearing that this opportunity was only available to the top ten, several other core disciples couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Tan Zhongchi smiled and said: "Okay, no matter what your results are in this ranking competition, I hope you remember that it is all in the past. From now on, everyone can enjoy the happy time of the past few days at the end of the year. Use the brand new
mentality to face the new year.”
Looking at the outer hall, Tan Zhongchi said again: "This year is a good harvest year. We are all from the same lineage of Qingyun Hall. You core disciples have always been a role model for other disciples. Today we are all gathered together, so you go out and get together with them. Let's
They are also happy."
"yes."
Although these core disciples, although their talents and cultivation are much higher than those of other disciples, they are still human beings with their own emotions and emotions, so they have no objection to this arrangement.
As soon as the thirteen core disciples walked out, the thousands of disciples in the outer hall fell into silence. They all looked excitedly at the idol in their hearts walking out, and they just wanted to rush up and surround them.
Tan Zhongchi smiled and said: "If you have any questions, you can take this opportunity to ask these core disciples for advice. But remember, don't rush to any one person."
He was afraid that these disciples would blindly pursue stars and only recognize one or two popular ones, while ignoring other core disciples. In that case, the situation would be very embarrassing.
Tan Zhongchi did have foresight. If he hadn't made this statement in advance, I'm afraid these people would have only flocked to the most popular people like Qin Wushuang and Zhou Fu.
But after his warning, these disciples obviously did not dare to be presumptuous. Each of them was very sensible and orderly. They thought about some of the cultivation problems they usually encountered and asked these core disciples who they could not even fawn over for advice.
Although Qin Wushuang and Zhou Fu were still much more popular in the end, there was no embarrassing situation where they were swarmed by everyone.
As for the newcomer Qin Wushuang, because he is a newcomer, no one knows much about him. He is also the new champion of the ranking competition. His popularity is so strong that he even has the potential to overwhelm Zhou Fudu.
Inevitably, the problems he had to face were not only questions about cultivation, but many gossip issues involving various aspects also came one after another, making it quite difficult for him to face them.
Although Qin Wushuang was not easy to resist the fanatical sentiments of these fellow disciples, he was very patient. He answered those who could answer carefully and patiently, and those who couldn't, just smiled and said it.
His affinity has allowed him to win enough reputation among these fellow disciples. Many fellow disciples thought excitedly that it turned out that Senior Brother Qin was so powerful and had such an easy-going personality. He didn't have the airs of a master. It was really rare.
The party lasted until the evening and then ended. The disciples still seemed to be reluctant to leave.
After dinner, Qin Wushuang suddenly remembered the agreement he made with Dharma King Lihuo, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He made an agreement with Dharma King Lihuo to listen to him lecture on alchemy every night. However, for so long, he has never had the chance. Today, there is no chance.
Well, you might as well go and visit.
Arriving at Lihuo Palace, King Lihuo obviously didn't expect Qin Wushuang to visit at this time, and laughed loudly: "Wushuang, Wushuang, I thought you were young and successful and had forgotten the agreement between us. Haha."
Qin Wushuang was still very humble: "It's not that Wushuang is being arrogant, but I really have no time to come. I was supposed to come last time, but I learned that my country was invaded by foreign enemies. Wushuang rushed to the national disaster without stopping and spent a month. When I came back, it was already Laba.
Let’s get together. The year-end assessment and the core disciple ranking competition have been involved all the time. I have no time to be distracted, so I ask His Holiness to take care of it.”
King Lihuo chuckled and said, "I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously. Well, we don't have to be deliberate. How about just pulling off some family feuds and slowly introducing alchemy?"
"Listen to His Majesty's arrangements. Wushuang is all ears."
"Well, the knowledge of alchemy has a long history. Speaking of it, the knowledge is really vast and huge. In the history of our Xingluo Palace, there are many seniors who are good at alchemy..." Dharma King Lihuo started talking and was about to
While we were chatting, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and someone trotted in, "Master..."
"Huh? What's the matter, are you so flustered?" Dharma King Lihuo was getting into some good spirits, and was suddenly interrupted, so naturally he was a little unhappy.
"Master, something happened." The disciple looked anxious.
"Something happened? What happened?" Dharma King Lihuo asked calmly.
"The sixty herb-gathering boys we sent out at the beginning of this year were divided into six groups. Five of them have already rushed back to prepare for the New Year. However, the group of herb-gathering boys who went to Bifu Mountain never returned.
"
"No one came back?" Dharma King Lihuo frowned.
"None of them have come back!" The disciple said firmly, "Our Xingluo Palace's strict rule is that no matter how far away we are, unless there are special circumstances that prevent us from rushing back, we must rush back during the Chinese New Year to participate in the ancestor worship on the first day of the new year.
.It’s impossible for these guys to not even remember this, right?”
Dharma King Lihuo looked solemn and nodded: "If you don't come back so late, there is a high probability that something happened. That Bifu Mountain is not a kind place. I have to talk to the master of the palace..."
Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Wushuang apologetically: "Wushuang, go ahead, you are busy and can't be separated, but today, I am going to take a leave of absence."
Qin Wushuang listened to their conversation and knew that it was indeed a big deal. He immediately nodded and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please do so."
Dharma King Lihuo was also unambiguous, stood up and said: "Tong Yan."
Tong Yan had been waiting outside. When he heard the Dharma King's call, he hurriedly walked in. When he saw Qin Wushuang, his eyebrows lit up: "Master, Senior Brother Qin."
In front of everyone in Xingluo Palace, Tong Yan still didn't dare to break the rules and called Qin Wushuang "Senior Brother Qin".
"Tong Yan, since you and Wushuang are from the same hometown and are good friends, you can entertain me for me. You can take Wushuang to the elixir house and read the elixir scripture. If you want to try some simple elixirs, you can press the elixir.
Let’s try the method mentioned above. We can’t afford the expensive elixir materials, so I can use the materials with average qualifications, so I don’t feel bad about it.”
Dharma King Lihuo ordered, said goodbye to Qin Wushuang, and hurried out the door.
When Tong Yan saw that the Dharma King actually gave him a chance to be alone with Qin Wushuang, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, come with me to Danfang."
Two old friends went to the alchemy room. Now Tong Yan is also an alchemy boy, so he is very free to enter the alchemy room for the first time, and he is also very familiar with the elixir materials in the alchemy room.
He smiled and asked: "Brother Qin, it is rare for the Dharma King to be so generous. Do you want to start practicing?"
Qin Wushuang smiled slightly: "There is no shortage of pills for the moment, that's all. Brother Tong, please sit down. We are friends. It's a rare occasion to get together, so we might as well chat."
Tong Yan rubbed his hands, feeling a little restrained. Qin Wushuang was so popular this time that he felt a little too stressed.
"Brother Qin, please don't call me Brother Tong. If you don't mind, just call me Ayan. With my little cultivation, I am not worthy of you calling me brother." Tong Yan said politely.
"Ayan? That's right. This seems to be inseparable. You don't want to be in front of Brother Qin or behind Brother Qin. Just like your elders, just call me Wushuang. By the way, you said last time that our Baiyue Kingdom years ago
When will the disciples gather together?"
"It's tomorrow night, Wushuang, are you free?" Tong Yan asked worried about gain and loss.
Qin Wushuang laughed dumbly: "All activities this year have ended. If you are free, I will be free."
Tong Yan said cheerfully: "That's hard to say. Now you are the most famous person among the younger generation in Xingluo Palace, but you are different from us junior disciples. What if your master wants you to work hard day and night, hehe."
Qin Wushuang smiled and said nothing, and suddenly asked: "Xiaoyan, do you have any information about Baiyue Kingdom recently?"
He remembered that Tong Yan's family was very powerful in intelligence work and had a very wide intelligence network. News from the Baiyue Kingdom usually had to be sent from Tong Yan to other people's ears.
Tong Yan said: "The compensation for the land ceded by the Wu Kingdom will be in place years ago. From now on, they will pay tribute and show filial piety every year. They are asking for trouble. As for our God-given kingship, the construction of the royal city is also in full swing. I believe
Wushuang, you saw him last time you went back."
"Well, what's the reaction from the Western Chu Kingdom?" Now that the Wu Kingdom has lost its protective martial saint, it can no longer cause any big troubles, so it can only obey. He is more worried about what happens to the Western Chu Kingdom.
"The Kingdom of Western Chu is also afraid of you, Wushuang. Now that your core disciple has won the championship, it is estimated that the news will spread to all the major vassal countries in less than three days. By then, the Kingdom of Western Chu will probably be even more afraid of you. In my opinion, the West Chu Kingdom will be even more afraid of you.
Even if the Chu State is still stronger than our Baiyue State, it probably won’t dare to make the same mistake again.”
"That's good." Qin Wushuang nodded.
Tong Yan suddenly said: "Wu Shuang, my sister, do you have a good relationship with me?"
This question came very suddenly, and Qin Wushuang was really taken aback.
