"Luo Hai, where do you think the Dark Dragon Cave is?" Among the crowd, Shu Yuan and Luo Hai stood at the back of the team.
"It should be underground." Luo Hai shook his head. He didn't know more than Shu Yuan about the Dark Dragon Cave.
"It's begun." Shu Yuan looked at a high platform at the foot of the mountain. There were several elders of the Dragon Palace standing there, with Ao Chong standing in the middle.
Originally, as Luo Hai, he could also stand there, but he refused. He no longer wanted to be looked at as a monkey.
At this moment, Ao Chong reached his hand into a simple round plate in front of him, which contained hundreds of small strips of cloth.
With everyone watching with bated breath, Ao Chongchong grabbed a piece of cloth, held it in his hand and spread it out.
Ao Chong glanced around with sharp eyes, and then announced the name on the note with a smile.
"Changsun Lao!"
"Wow!"
The whole place suddenly became lively
The name Changsun Lao is not unfamiliar to most of the practitioners present, because Changsun Lao has rarely practiced in the past month, and spent the rest of his time dealing with people from various sects.
,suddenly many people already knew who this lucky guy was.
"It turned out to be that guy." Luo Hai smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect that Changsun Lao was so lucky.
"Do you know each other?" Shu Yuan asked
Luo Hai nodded: "A disciple of the Tang Dynasty government"
Shu Yuan's eyes were wide open and he was amazed: "After all, if you are included in the Tang Dynasty government, you will have taken up five places."
Hearing this, Luo Hai was also stunned. Indeed, the Tang Dynasty government originally had two quotas. Later, Huasheng Temple donated one. Changsun Lao here got one again. Including himself, there were really five.
"Haha, thank you, thank you." At this time, a voice of surprise came from the front, and Changsun Lao in the crowd looked happy and kept clasping his fists around him. He didn't expect that an old man from his own family would come to see him.
He had such great luck, "I have to let the old man have fun for three days when I go home this time." Thinking of this, Changsun Lao almost wanted to rush to the stage and yell.
"Please be quiet." A faint voice came clearly to everyone's ears. Ao Chong cleared his throat: "Next, I will announce the ranking of the twenty-four candidates to enter the Dark Dragon Cave according to the quotas of each sect.
It is determined by the order of my Dragon Palace.”
After hearing this, everyone in the audience became quiet.
"Huasheng Temple: Shu Yuan, Zhong Xiaoli"
"Official Offices of the Tang Dynasty: Song Tian, Zhuge Yunhe"
"Wuzhuang Temple: Lu Chen, Kou Shi'an"
"Pansi Cave: Poems by Fang Lan, Fang Lanyi"
"Demon King's Village: Cheng Ning, Zuoqiu Yike"
"Shituoling: Pan Xian, Hong Zuo"
"Mount Putuo: Qingling, Qiaoyue"
"Daughter's Village: Yue Minglan, Ji Xiangyu"
"The Underworld: Hundred Miles of Thunder, Hundred Miles of Sound"
"Fangcun Mountain: Gu Bo, Wanyan Guofeng"
"Finally, our Dragon Palace plus Tiangong, there are four places in total, namely: Cheng Hao, Ao Yantian, Luo Hai, and Changsun Lao, who was just randomly selected." Ao Chong announced the twenty-four names in one breath.
Some of these names are familiar to everyone in the audience, and some are unfamiliar. However, there is no doubt that each of these twenty-four people is a leader of the younger generation in the entire cultivation world, except for Huasheng Temple.
Everyone has some understanding of the situation. Naturally, some people laughed at it and some sympathized with it. Fortunately, Shu Yuan has been in seclusion and has never heard these remarks.
"This time the Dark Dragon Cave is open, there are so many geniuses," Ao Chong announced, and the atmosphere in the audience became active again, with all kinds of comments about the twenty-four people in his mouth.
"I don't know who is the most powerful among these twenty-four people."
"Based on the level of Zhenqi, it should be Zhuge Yunhe of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that he has reached the forty-fifth level of Zhenqi."
"What a terrifying talent" the praise came from the front
Luo Hai and Shu Yuan did not make any comments and listened quietly to the discussion ahead.
"But in terms of talent, those of the younger generation are even more amazing."
"Let's talk about the little monster of the Ao family who has long been famous. In the past few days, I heard from the disciples of Dragon Palace that Ao Yantian has reached the level 30 of Qi at the age of seventeen."
"What?!" Those practitioners who didn't know the news all changed their colors.
"How is that possible! A seventeen-year-old with a Qi level of thirty? That's a lie."
"As for whether it is true or not, I don't know, but you should know that the 'Genius Xiaoyu' from Daughter Village is an eighteen-year-old with a Qi level of twenty-five and is genuine."
"Well, the two big guys from Shituoling are also very powerful, as well as Baili Xuanlei from the underworld, they are all strong men close to the forty-fifth level of Qi."
"You probably don't know that Wanyan Guofeng from Fangcun Mountain is also a peerless genius comparable to Ao Yantian, but no one knows what level he has reached now."
"I wish I had half of their talents." A young man standing next to him looked envious.
"There is also Luo Hai, who recently appeared in the Tang Dynasty government. I don't know why he didn't show up this time."
"Isn't there someone named Luo Hai just now?"
"That's an elder from the Dragon Palace. How could he be from the Tang Dynasty government?"
The conversation became more and more noisy. Luo Hai smiled helplessly and stopped listening. He turned to Shu Yuan and laughed in a low voice: "Senior Brother Shu Yuan, what have you gained during this period of seclusion?"
Shu Yuan smiled slightly: "I can't compare with you. Before the retreat, I was at the 28th level of Qi, and now I am at the peak of 29th level."
Luo Hai nodded. Compared with himself and others, Shu Yuan was indeed a little slower. The tenth level of Zhenqi to the thirtieth level of Zhenqi was the fastest stage for cultivators to improve. However, Senior Brother Shu Yuan had not slept for two months.
Neither level has been improved, and the qualifications can only be considered average.
"But I'm already very satisfied." Shu Yuan smiled cheerfully. He was already very satisfied with the harvest of this industry. Normally in Huasheng Temple, he would never be able to calm down and retreat for two months. His goal is
After being promoted to level 30 in the Dark Dragon Cave, he did not insist on other treasures or adventures.
Luo Hai chuckled, Shu Yuan's open-mindedness made him admire him
The conversation between the two ended quickly. After a period of discussion, the practitioners at the foot of the mountain gradually became quiet.
Ao Chong looked around the audience again and announced ten names. These people were the ten candidates needed to open the Dark Dragon Cave.
Excluding Tiangong and Huasheng Temple, the remaining ten sects each have one person, and they are all disciples who have reached the fortieth level of Qi.
Naturally, this does not include Luo Hai. Although Luo Hai is confident that his Qi strength will definitely meet the requirements, but being surrounded by so many people to use Qi is obviously not what he wants, because the color of his Qi is different from that of ordinary people.
There are some differences among cultivators. If someone finds out, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
"Today at midnight, the Dark Dragon Cave is officially opened. The twenty-four disciples just now, please come here in time. We will not wait for latecomers."
Finally, Ao Chongchong announced the opening time of the Dark Dragon Cave
"Before that, our Dragon Palace will hold a grand dinner here. All friends who come to Dragon Palace can attend."
After Ao Chong finished speaking, he smiled slightly and backed away slowly under the gaze of everyone.
