Wei Rongniang returned to Xianyun Peak the day before the leader’s birthday. Returning with her were the elder He Jingxian who was in charge of Penglai Hall, senior brothers Li Shaoyu, Deng Yuantong and a group of second-generation disciples.
They went to the Miasma Leaf Forest.
Previously, Deng Yuantong and Song Yun teamed up to kill the earth dragon in the Sea of Rotten Leaves, peeling off the skin and searching for the soul and elixir. Although the harvest was abundant, they still felt that something was wrong. Yao Jiang spent a lot of effort to synthesize Wuma Powder. Even risking his life just for these things on Earth Dragon's body is a bit unjustifiable. The two came out of the miasma leaf forest and discussed again and again. Just as they were about to carefully search the sea of rotten leaves, Song Yun suddenly received a letter from the Flying Sword of the Gouyan Sect Lu, urgently summoning her to return to Liu Shifeng.
The teacher had an order and could not shirk it. Song Yun thought to himself that he didn't know how long it would take to get down the mountain. In desperation, he simply gave up the benefits to Deng Yuantong and gave it to Xiandu as a big favor. Deng Yuantong made the decision without authorization. In addition to extracting a soul, he handed over the Earth Dragon's body and all the inner elixirs to Song Yun, and hurried back to Xianyun Peak to report to the leader. Xi Huzi was so shrewd that he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately ordered Qingyang Palace to open a furnace to refine a batch of poison-preventing pills. It took more than a month to refine them. He also asked He Jingxian and Elder He to come out and lead his disciples to Miasma. Ye Lin.
The earth dragon has been eliminated, and there are no more monsters hiding in the sea of rotten leaves. He Jingxian and others spent half a year to find two "black-hearted lotuses" from the depths of the sea of rotten leaves, without branches or leaves. The flower blooms with thirteen petals, and the heart is dyed like ink. He Jingxian regarded it as a treasure and put the Black Heart Lotus into the jade box himself, not letting anyone else handle it. Although Li Shaoyu and others knew they had found something good, they didn't even see it.
After the group returned to Xianyun Peak, He Jingxian immediately went to see the leader. The two discussed secretly for a long time in Sanqing Hall. When they left, He Jingxian’s hands were empty and he left the two black-hearted lotuses. Xi Huzi.
The Black-Hearted Lotus in the Sea of Rotten Leaves grew out of miasma and was nourished day and night by the demonic energy of the earth dragon. It is a good medicine for removing hidden wounds. Xi Huzi has been looking for this Black-Hearted Lotus for more than ten years, but he did not expect to find it all. No effort required.
On the day of the leader’s birthday, the inner sect, outer sect, and trial disciples of the Immortal City gathered outside the Sanqing Hall, taking turns to congratulate the leader on his birthday, kowtow and serve wine, Xi Huzi accepted the gift with a smile, but his face was still gray. Defeated, but his expression became much more relaxed.
After the ceremony, a group of outer disciples and trial disciples withdrew from Changying Temple, leaving only twenty-one inner disciples for the seven-year competition. Among the inner disciples, there are five disciples of Xi Huzi. The first disciple Xun Ye is in the life and death gate at Yingzui Rock. The only ones present are Li Shaoyu, Deng Yuantong, Liu Baizi, Wei Rongniang, and sixteen second-generation disciples, including Wei Shiqi. Five people, including Qin Zhen, Xu Li, Xin Laoyao, and Shi Bi, have recently been promoted to the inner sect. The remaining eleven people have different cultivation levels. The shallow ones have just condensed into Tao embryos, and the deep ones have already cultivated sword radiance.
The sword competition in Chixia Valley is about to begin. In addition to the headmaster Xi Huzi, the elders from Penglai, Qingyang, Zhuming, Baizang, and Xuanying palaces are also present in person to pay attention to this competition.
There were two rounds of big scores. First, the second-generation disciples recommended five people to compete.
Xun Ye only acceptedOne of Wei Shiqi's disciples must appear. The other four second-generation disciples are Zhao Zongxuan from Li Shaoyu's disciple, Xie Hu from Deng Yuantong's disciple, Han Tuo from Liu Baizi's disciple, and Duan Wenhuan from Wei Rongniang's disciple.
Fu Baoyuan, the palm print boy next to Xi Huzi, held a bamboo stick in his hand, with five bamboo sticks inserted, and asked Wei Shiqi and others to each take one. There are eight lots in this set, namely sky, lake, fire, thunder, earth, mountain, water, and wind. Fu Baoyuan picked five of them. As a result, Zhao Zongxuan drew the sky lot, Xie Falcon drew the Ze lot, and Duan Wenhuan drew the lot. In the mountain lot, Han Tuo drew the wind lot, and Wei Shiqi drew the thunder lot.
The sky lottery has a bye, the Ze lottery is against the Mountain lottery, and the Wind lottery is against the Thunder lottery.
After finally avoiding Wei Shiqi, Duan Wenhuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he were defeated by his fire stick in front of everyone, it would be a big loss! As for Xie Falcon, a disciple of Uncle Deng, he knew the basics and was not very afraid.
Wei Shiqi put the thunder lottery back into the tube, and suddenly remembered that when he tested his disciple Xiaobi, Lu Shizhong drew a long lottery, and Xun Ye and Zhang Jinghe each drew a short lottery. If the short signatures are placed in the signature tube, how come they are the same length and no difference can be seen? Master Xun is locked up in life and death. When will he be able to come out? Will you miss Chixia Valley Sword Discussion?
He was a little distracted.
From beginning to end, Qin Zhen had been paying attention to every move of her senior brother. When she saw that his eyes were dull and thoughtful, she couldn't help but cough on purpose to remind him to concentrate. Wei Shiqi looked up at her and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Wei Rongniang saw everything in her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head. Is this lazy guy confident, or is he deliberately exaggerating?
Fu Bao Yuanlang said: "Brother Han, Junior Brother Wei, Feng Lei goes first!"
The two stepped onto the bluestone ground one after another, stood opposite each other, and bowed in salute.
Han Tuo comes from a peasant family. He is tall and stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks a bit honest. He has been under Liu Baizi's disciples for ten years. He has mastered sword control and is only one step away from breaking through the Jianmang Pass. Yao, among the second-generation disciples, ranked among the top five in terms of strength.
He pulled out a short sword from his waist, placed the sword blade on his left wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Wei, I'm asking for advice. ! ”
