Slow and immortal

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Xiao Yao walked to the left along the route the carriage left, and walked through a few small paths. As she went to the left, there were fewer and fewer people. It didn't take long for her to touch the restriction set by the Ji family.

This restriction is just a simple hint restriction, and it is only valid for mortals, so that ordinary people who have no intention of breaking into the range of Ji's house will have a hint that they are unwilling to stay here and leave as soon as possible. field.

As soon as she stepped into the restriction, she felt a strong spiritual energy rushing towards her face. Originally, she was curious about how the Ji family practiced in such a mortal city with thin spiritual energy, but now she knew it.It seems that this place is built on a huge spirit gathering array, which shows that the Ji family is worthy of being one of the three masters in the world of cultivating immortals: the wealth is overwhelming.It needs to be known that a giant formation covering such a wide area will inevitably consume a huge amount of spirit stones every day, plus the spirit stones distributed by the disciples in each family for practice, it can be called days.

In comparison, although Xianyu Sect is the most expensive of the four sects and three families, it is inferior to the three major cultivating families in terms of style and handwriting.

The atmosphere inside the restriction is completely different from that of the outside world. This is like a small world of cultivating immortals. Everything is done according to the rules of the world of cultivating immortals. The storekeepers all wore robes with the word 'Ji' embroidered on their chests, and most of the people walking around the street were monks wearing the costumes of Ji's disciples.

From the main street, Xiao Yao could see the magnificent red lacquer gate of Ji's house at the end of the avenue, which was very easy to find.Walking to the front of the gate, I saw the vermilion gate that was more than ten meters high was open, and three disciples of the Qi refining period were guarding on both sides.

She took off the Fairy Feather Gate token on her waist and went forward to show her identity and intention of coming. At this moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy whose cultivation base was at the early stage of foundation establishment suddenly came out from the side of the door. Seeing Xiao Yao salute and smiled, he said:
"Senior Xiao, the younger one has been waiting here for a long time, so please follow me to the courtyard for a rest."

It seemed that the Ji family had already made preparations and saved herself the trouble of explaining. She smiled and nodded to the boy, signaling him to lead the way.

This Ji family looks like a palace that is as gorgeous as a royal palace, and even the layout is very similar, divided into the outer court and the inner court.A main road runs through it.

After the young man walked on the main road for a while, she caught a glimpse of all kinds of luxurious carriages parked on the side of the main road, and one of the most conspicuous ones was pulled by four big horses, which was the one she had just met.

Xiao Yao squinted her eyes and called the young man and asked: "My little friend, these carriages are so beautiful, are they all the cars of the Ji family?"

The young man was slightly surprised when he heard it, but after seeing those carriages, he suddenly remembered
"Senior misunderstood, those are just the cars used by some mortal families attached to the Ji family. This kind of stupid beast car for ordinary people is usually not allowed to enter the gate. Today, due to special circumstances, it is licensed to park here, but let senior Just kidding."

He mistakenly thought that Xiao Yao was laughing at his unrefined driving, so he looked at those carriages with disgust and contempt, and continued to explain:

"The Ji family has always had the practice of selecting some seedlings with good spiritual roots from affiliated mortal families and allowing them to enter the branch family to practice Taoism. These days are the time for selection, so many mortal family sons come here to fight for their dreams. threshold."

"So that's how it is." The doubts in Xiao Yao's mind were immediately resolved. It turned out that the person in the carriage was just a young man who was relying on the name of the big tree of the Ji family to show off his power. No wonder there was no aura in the carriage.

After her doubts were answered, she no longer took this matter to heart, and walked leisurely while looking at the Qionglou Yuyu of Ji's family. When passing by a large hall in the outer court, she found a group of young princes without any aura gathered in the hall And miss, it should be the secular upstarts who want to join Ji's family this time.

I glanced casually and saw that they were all dressed in bright and luxurious clothes, wearing jade crowns on their heads, behaved decently, and their appearances were all top-notch, chatting and laughing together.

"I heard that Mr. Yue is a rare person with a single spiritual root in the world. He can speak at the age of three and dance a sword at the age of five. Master Ji Qing appreciates it very much. I think he must have been appointed by default this time. I am really envious." Make me wait."

"That's right, it looks like I'm only a person with dual spiritual roots, and I have to go through selection and competition. I can only listen to the heavens, and I don't know if I can pass. I heard that the elder Ji Yunhao who is the most strict gatekeeper this time."

"Hey, so what should I do for people with three spiritual roots? Every year, the Ji family will only recruit three people. One of them has a quota, and the remaining two will have fierce competition."

"If it doesn't work, I have to wait for the next year to come again, but every time I want to run for the election, I have to pay ten middle-grade spirit stones as a fee, which is the most troublesome thing. It is not a problem to say that there are thousands of gold, silver and jewels. But this spirit stone is hard to find in the mortal world."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone stopped talking and just sighed. Although they hoped that they could be chosen once, the fact that their spiritual roots were poor was in front of them. They pinned their hopes on the next year and felt heartbroken. , All kinds of contradictory emotions are shown on the face.

At this moment, a clear male voice said: "In fact, you don't need to be so discouraged, the way of immortality is hard to find, and I don't have the privilege to be appointed by default, just like everyone else, you have to rely on yourself. The immortal family is most concerned about fate, so don't worry about the competition. Just try your best, but if you are too nervous, you will not be able to show your strength."

"Young Master Yue is indeed a dragon among men, and I am even more impressed by how calm he is at this moment."

Then there was another echo and praise.

Hey, that clear voice is so familiar, isn't it the person in the carriage just now?
Although Xiao Yao didn't intend to listen, but the eyesight and hearing of monks are hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people, so what they talked about naturally came to her ears.

She was very interested and looked in again, only to find that Mr. Yue was facing away from her and couldn't see his face clearly. She could only see him wearing a dark red robe with a black border. Surrounded in the center like a moon.

The young man who led the way noticed that Xiao Yao's footsteps had slowed down, and when she saw her looking into the hall curiously, he felt that the previous seniors were probably those monks who practiced in seclusion and had never seen anything in the world, so he suggested: "It's just some people who don't know the world. Mortals who are tall and powerful, if seniors are interested, tomorrow is the day of selection and competition, so you can come and watch."

Xiao Yao was purely curious for a while, but she really didn't want to watch the competition. She realized that she was too concerned about these mortals to attract the attention of the teenagers, so she hurriedly explained with a smile:
"It's nothing more than watching, just hearing them talk and remembering that before I was a monk, I felt a little bit touched."

"How can these people compare with their predecessors? Even if they are selected, they have little hope of being able to build a foundation, not to mention reaching the state of Jindan, which one is not the son of arrogance, and it is not something that people with two spiritual roots and three spiritual roots can dream of. .”

After flattering Xiao Yao and talking about those upstarts, the boy's tone changed from respect to arrogance and disdain.Xiao Yao just smiled and didn't answer any more. She knew better than anyone else that even if she is talented and her spiritual root aptitude is so good, it may fall from the sky, and those with poor spiritual roots may not have no chance. For example, Zhang Fan.

There was no more topic to talk about, the young man led Xiao Yao all the way to a side room on the left side of the inner court, and respectfully said to her: "Senior, please stay here for a while, and I will go to inform the young master."

After the young man left, Xiao Yao pushed the door open and entered, only to find that there were already three people sitting in the wing room, and as soon as the door was opened, three divine senses immediately swept over her body.

Since the other party was so rude, Xiao Yao naturally observed the three of them carefully.

There are three people in the house, two men and one woman are all cultivating at the Golden Core Stage.Sitting on the chair on the left is a charming female nun, she looks about twenty years old, her eyes are bright and full of charm, she is wearing a pink topless skirt with a water snake waist, full of coquettishness.Xiao Yao's cultivation base is generally at the same early stage of Jindan, and the hanging ornament on his waist is the jade tablet of Yanshui Pavilion. He only glanced at Xiao Yao and continued to admire the Kou Dan in his hand.

One of the other two men is over fifty years old, a fat old man with white beard and white hair, probably because of his fatness, his face is full of elasticity and no wrinkles can be seen. At the middle stage of Jindan, seeing Xiao Yao looking at him, he nodded slightly towards her.

The last person is a middle-aged man with an inverted triangular face, a hooked nose, and the corners of his eyes are slightly hung up. He has a very strong evil spirit. He is also a middle-stage Golden Core cultivation like the fat old Taoist. He sits on the Eight Immortals chair in the middle. , Seeing Xiao Yao come in and sweep his consciousness, he snorted coldly with disdain and turned his face away.

There are all sorts of strange people in the world of cultivating immortals, Xiao Yao upholds her gentle style, and reports to herself: "Xiao Yao from Xiaxian Yumen, I have met all the fellow Taoists."

The fat old Taoist was the first to respond, he said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet Lu Feng, Fellow Daoist Xiao, at Xiaxiu Mountain."

The middle-aged man still had an expression of indifference and didn't speak.In the end, the charming female cultivator seemed to have admired her Kou Dan enough, she looked at Xiao Yao with a charming smile and said:

"Little girl Yanshuige Liu Meiniang, I think this younger sister should be the last member of the five-person group, and finally came a more pleasing one."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the fat old man and the middle-aged man out of the corner of his eye.

Facing Liu Meiniang's squinting eyes, the fat old man Lu Feng just snorted coldly: "Shameless coquettish woman." The middle-aged man closed his eyes as if he didn't hear it and sat up in meditation.

Xiao Yao smiled, thinking about the information she had received so far, and asked Liu Meiniang, "From what You Daoist Liu said, there must be a few of you who are going to the Great Wilderness this time. It seems that I will be the last to arrive. But according to Daoist You said that there are five people in total, and there are only four people here, how about one fellow Taoist?”

Liu Meiniang smiled coquettishly and boasted: "This younger sister is really polite. My family likes polite people the most. This last person is naturally a disciple of the Ji family. Since everyone is here, I will arrive soon after I think about it. Look at my sister For the sake of being so pleasing, I will send my sister another message. The person over there who closes his eyes and pretends to be noble is Zhao Xian, a disciple of the Demon Sect. My sister should be careful about this person, especially when fighting, stay away from him .”

While talking, the door of the wing room was pushed open, Xiao Yao couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly when she saw someone coming, she didn't expect to meet one of the people she didn't want to meet here, this is a bit troublesome.
