Slow and immortal

Chapter 156

Chapter 155

After admitting defeat, Qin Lan staggered out of the front yard without looking back.There was silence all around, and all the disciples silently watched his retreating back, and looked back to see that the ring was covered with water stains, mixed with a little blood, and the traces of fighting were everywhere, leaving only the woman standing in the center.She has a calm face, her tattered Taoist robe, her snow-white arms are in stark contrast to her blood-stained shoulders, a slight wind blows her Taoist robe, the hem of her clothes flutters, and her figure is slightly thin, she looks like she will be blown by the wind at any time blown away.

Where is the unstoppable awe-inspiring aura of slaying gods and demons when the twelve scissors fired together just now? Under the strong contrast between the front and the back, doubts arose in the minds of all the cultivators: strong or weak? ? !

"Is there any fellow Taoist who wants to come up to challenge?" Seeing that no one shouted for a long time, and no one came up to the challenge, Xiao Yao looked around and asked by herself,
As soon as she opened her mouth, the elder who judged the competition remembered that she hadn't struck the gong, so she got so carried away watching it that she forgot to announce the result of the competition.It's no wonder, even if he is such a experienced Nascent Soul who has lived for thousands of years, he has never seen such a weird monk as Xiao Yao, so he lost his mind.However, he soon returned to normal, coughed twice and added: "Are there any disciples who want to challenge? If no one comes to the stage within a stick of incense, then the second place to participate in the "Treasure Hunting Tide" belongs to Master Xiao." !"

Scared, now the disciples of all the courtyards are back to their senses, and they are talking in whispers.There is no doubt that this woman is strong, no matter how embarrassed and harmless she looks at the moment, the mess still clearly reminds everyone what happened here just now.They are all worried, Qin Lan is considered the best in the Golden Core stage in the clan, and he is also defeated, what chance does he have of winning?Even though the opponent was at the end of her strength in the competition, she did not use a single magic weapon from the beginning to the end of the competition, and since she is a heavenly craftsman herself, she might be able to smash the number of spiritual weapons she possessed. kill them.If you lose in the competition, there will be no quota, and it is not worthwhile to go up and challenge.

As for the few elite disciples before the challenge, Qin Jun wanted to be challenged a little bit, but Xiao Yao's status as a craftsman was there, so he would inevitably have some concerns.Just now, when Qin Lan grabbed her with the hook claws, the elder beside her was so annoyed that his face turned green, and he was about to end the competition forcefully.This woman is a treasure in the eyes of these seniors, if she hits too lightly, she won't enjoy herself, and if she hits too hard, she will anger Nascent Soul Da Neng, so she loses interest immediately.

For the others, Qin Shuang's competition is over, and Qin Chuan is not interested in anything with a smile on his face; Men who practice martial arts, have never seen a girl's family fight so fiercely, and now they have lingering fears, so they will not go forward; Xuanyuan Yi and that weak woman are left, Xuanyuan is not from the Qin family, so it is impossible to play, but The weak woman rolled her eyes two or three times, but in the end she was not moved by the challenge.

In a blink of an eye, the hour of incense sticks passed, and the sound of the gong sounded, and the elder announced: "The time has come! Master Xiao wins!"

So far, when Xiao Yao got down to the ring, the passers-by gave way one after another, no one dared to underestimate her.

She continued to stand back to where Liuxiangyuan was. When the elder saw it, he threw the lottery aside for the time being, and came over and said with concern: "Master Xiao, your shoulder is still bleeding, did you hurt your bones? Since your competition is over, how about you?" Go back to the courtyard to cultivate well, let the old man send someone to take a few 'Kun Ling Pills' to treat you, as for the jade ring that is qualified to enter the 'Empty Spirit Valley', after the competition is over, the old man will send someone to Weimingju."

Bystanders gasped when they heard the word "Kunling Pill". This elixir is a top-grade elixir, and the mansion only supplies Nascent Soul monks. It is said that as long as it does not hurt the soul, even if the tendons are broken, you can take it. Instantly pick up.And this woman knew at a glance that she just suffered a little skin trauma, and taking the "Kun Ling Pill" is simply overkill, a waste of the elixir!
However, Xiao Yao never knew much about pills, so she didn't understand why these people's faces were suddenly unkind, but after listening to the elder's suggestion, she thought about it, she had nothing to do if she stayed here, she might as well go back to the courtyard, which happened to be still Being able to take advantage of the injury for a while to breathe, he nodded and said: "Then thank you senior for your attention, so the junior will leave first."

In the end, under the insistence of the elder, Xiao Yao was escorted by two maidservants, and returned to her courtyard in a pompous manner.

And less than half an hour later, Elder Ma also learned the result of the competition from Qin Lan, and learned that the fact that he had sent someone to obstruct Xiao Yao had been known by the other party. He suddenly woke up and found that he was confused.He felt that it was out of good intentions, but from the perspective of the other party, he was suspected of being underestimated and hindered, so he hurriedly brought a generous "consolation item" to visit Weimingju as soon as possible.

It may be unbelievable for a Nascent Soul to pay so much attention to the attitude of a Jindan stage girl, but in fact, Elder Ma himself knows that although this girl's cultivation is a big realm lower than his own, she can't do it in terms of refining weapons. His accomplishments are much higher than his own, and the two of them occasionally ask each other for advice, which also benefits him a lot.According to his observations, his success rate of forging spirit weapons over the past hundred years has been as high as five levels, and he has already reached the level of a god-level master. If the patriarch hadn't suppressed him, he would have publicized the matter a long time ago, so as to increase the family's prestige, so he was extremely dissatisfied. I would like to be listed as a refusal by this girl!

Seeing Elder Ma appear in her small courtyard, Xiao Yao was very upset when she thought of what he had done, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face, as if nothing had happened, she was still so gentle and polite.Her magnanimous gesture made Elder Ma admire her more and more on the one hand, and feel more guilty on the other hand.It's just that she doesn't know Xiao Yao's nature, and she is not a dog-beating bun who likes to be angry. When he is touched and guilty, she directly takes advantage of the apology and knocks a large amount of precious refining materials from his pocket. From the beginning to the end, Elder Ma is willing , I didn't feel the slightest heartache, I was in a good mood, and I praised her for her talents.

Up to this point, the two are still "friends of Wangxiu", and the misunderstanding has been successfully resolved when both parties are satisfied.Two days later, the "Treasure Hunting Tide" qualification test also came to an end. A total of 38 outstanding disciples were selected, including 11 direct descendants, [-] concubine descendants, and one disciple at the end.Elite disciples such as Qin Shuang and Qin Zi passed the competition without exception, but Qin Lan, who competed with Xiao Yao, failed.

On this day, on the top of the Yangyang Peak of Shuangluan Mountain, in the Qin family's meeting hall, a middle-aged man who looked less than fifty was sitting on the main seat. He was still full of black hair, his facial features were tough, his eyes were like torches, and he looked extraordinary. .

On the lower left side of him sat a handsome man in his thirties, with a white face and a jade crown, and his gestures were elegant.He said to the middle-aged man: "Brother, I sent people to investigate for several months, but I still couldn't find out the real reason why Qiankun Pavilion, Chanyin Temple and Xuanyuan family suddenly proposed to send disciples to participate in this 'treasure hunt'."

"Can't find out?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered, "It seems that they have already colluded to make the three families keep their mouths shut at the same time. Guess Qin Qian, why?"

The young man called Qin Qian lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while before slowly opening his mouth and said: "No matter for the sect or the family, there are only two things that must not be leaked to the outside world: one is the relationship between the survival of the sect and the family." However, if this is the case, it is possible for the three families to act together, which I think can be ruled out. As for the second, it is the enduring theme of constant struggles in the world of cultivating immortals—the birth of the most precious treasure. I personally think that the latter Very likely."

The middle-aged man held up the teacup on the case table, and smiled approvingly at what he said, "Is it the enduring theme of the world of cultivating immortals? Yes, and this is the only way to explain why they keep it secret from the outside world. My Qin family knows that I refuse all outsiders to participate in the 'treasure hunt tide', and take the treasure behind closed doors, right? But if this thing appears in the 'Empty Spirit Valley' to which the Qin family belongs, how can they be so greedy and not take a piece of it? Let me wait for it!"

As he said that, his eyes suddenly changed, and he crushed the teacup in his hand. The Nascent Soul Dzogchen Stage's coercion was released, shaking the doors and windows of the meeting hall to slam.

Only Qin Qian was not affected at all, and said leisurely: "Then what are you going to do, big brother? But you want to shut down this 'treasure hunt'?"

The man shook his head in denial, "No, the Empty Spirit Valley's terrain is extremely complicated, and there are many treasures in it, how do you and I know what they are looking for, and if they make a sudden reversal, it is easy to offend the Xuanyuan family and the two big factions, the gain outweighs the gain. Since they want to participate Just join in, we just need to keep a close eye on the actions of the disciples of the two sects."

"Brother means..."

"'Empty Spirit Valley' belongs to the Qin family. This is our greatest advantage. At that time, we will send several Yuanying elders from the clan to follow up. Forgive them for a group of Jindan stage juniors and they will not be able to play any tricks."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man changed his voice, and said again: "By the way, will the disciples of the clan to participate in the 'treasure hunt' be selected this time? So what's the latest move of the seventh son of the Xuanyuan family?"

Qin Qian reported truthfully one by one, "Master Xuanyuan is still accompanied by Qin Shuang, Qin Zi, and Qin Xin every day, and no one has acted suspiciously, and the 'Treasure Hunting Tide' qualification competition has ended, and the selected disciples are all It is the elite of the clan, but there is one exception."

His pause aroused the middle-aged man's interest, "Oh? What's the exception? Let's hear it."

Qin Qian unhurriedly recounted the scene of the confrontation between Xiao Yao and Qin Lan on the first day of the competition, down to the details.

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man showed a rare smile, "It turns out that such an interesting episode happened. Speaking of which, I have seen this refining master named Xiao Yao before. She has a good character and temper, except that she is a master of refining. Well, there is nothing impressive about the others. I didn’t expect that she is also a genius in practice, but she hides it deep enough. Qin Ma should blame Qin Ma for his poor consideration. Don’t make this child unhappy That's right, I don't want such a talented person to take advantage of other sect families."

"You don't need to worry about this..." Qin Qian smiled slightly, and then told the story of Elder Ma's visit with gifts.

After listening to the middle-aged man's eyes flashed, he was a bit intriguing: "Is this true?"

"Naturally, this girl is very smart."

"If so, then this woman is a rare talent, but unfortunately she refuses to change her surname. It can be seen that she likes to be casual and unrestrained. From what you said, it seems that I have to find a way to keep her in the Qin family... ..."

Speaking of the middle-aged man's eyes drifting away as if he was thinking about something, suddenly he looked at Qin Qian fiercely,
"Sixteenth brother, I remember that you haven't decided on a pair of monks yet, right? What do you think of this girl?"

scare? !

Suddenly Qin Qian was stunned.
