In the elegant room, the atmosphere is solemn, and you can hear the drop of a needle.
Lin Mo sat in a corner of the room and watched coldly.
There were only six people present, and except for Duan Mulei who was speaking, all of them had smiles on their faces, but they didn't say anything immediately, as if they were thinking.
Duan Mulei seemed to have expected it, so he picked up the tea cup next to him and sipped it carefully.
After all, the opposite side is a true disciple of the sect. In the eyes of ordinary disciples, he has reached the end of the road, which naturally puts a lot of pressure on him.
After a long time, someone started to make noises.
"To be honest, whether it is the chief disciple or the first place in the assessment, in the real calculation, it has nothing to do with most of us here. It still depends on strength and interests."
The speaker was a relatively thin man next to Lin Mo.
This person's hair is sparse, yellowish, and very messy. His cheekbones are prominent, and his eyes are like wolves, giving him a vicious look.
Lin Mo remembered that his name was Gao Quan, a disciple of Longteng County's other courtyard near Yuzhou, and he was the only person present who was not from Lingxi Academy.
"Oh? Junior Brother Gao, what do you mean?"
Duanmulei put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly.
"Junior sister Mei and senior brother Duanmu are invited today. It's just that they want to sit in that seat. It's easy. Just give them enough money."
Gao Quan smiled coldly.
"And to be honest, there is only one seat, and you two have to agree on who will sit, hehe."
As soon as these words came out, the scene became even more embarrassing.
Duanmulei and Mei Lihui looked at each other.
"Junior Brother Gao doesn't need to worry about this. What we are actually asking for is fairness. As for the money, a bottle of Xiaolong Blood Pill for each of you will be considered a small gift afterwards."
Little Dragon Blood Pill?
At this time, everyone was in an uproar, including Geng Yizhuang beside him.
"Senior Brother Duanmu, is this true?"
Gao Quan whispered, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at the man in the front seat.
Xiaolong Blood Pill is a good thing. The main medicine is a rare fish and animal from the Taihuai River. Together with various medicinal materials, it has extraordinary effects and can replenish the bones and blood of the warrior.
Normally, one bottle is worth a lot of money, and there is no such thing on the market.
As soon as these words came out, the other people also looked at Duan Mulei.
"Of course it's true. All I ask for is fairness." Duan Mulei said solemnly.
"Then let's follow Senior Brother Duanmu."
After receiving the reply, Gao Quan was also happy and said directly.
Then, Geng Yizhuang and others also nodded.
Lin Mo naturally followed the trend.
Good words and kind words are also asking for fairness. There is no reason to not want the benefits if they are free of charge.
Afterwards, he also learned the details about Duanmulei from Geng Yizhuang.
It is said that there are also connections behind him. There is a clan brother in the clan who is a second-generation martial artist.
It's just that he is not as good as Wang Zhen, he is just a new true disciple, so he needs to recruit people like them to help him.
Seriously speaking, apart from Wang Hao and Lin Qingxue, they are the most popular figures.
Soon, after the discussion was completed, the time was almost up and everyone rushed towards Mingchun Tower.
As the top restaurant in Lingmiao City, Mingchun Restaurant has a great reputation and is famous in Lingmiao City for its signature Mingming Spring Wedding Banquet.
It is said that this kind of medicinal diet was created by the masters of Huozhou Poison Valley. The selected mountain animals are all big beasts above the master level. The medicinal materials are also great tonics cultivated in the spiritual field and are extremely effective.
The thirty-three dishes in one banquet are a combination of various flavors and methods. In addition to their medicinal effects, they are also rare delicacies, so they are extremely famous.
But the value is naturally high, and ordering requires queuing. Being able to have a banquet at Mingchun Tower is also a symbol of strength to a certain extent.
It was lunch time at this time, and there were already a lot of people in the city, especially around Mingchun Tower.
Some small traders also took this opportunity to come out to do business, so it was very lively.
When they arrived at Mingchun Building, there were already servants waiting for Lin Mo and others outside the building.
After a brief identity verification, everyone went upstairs and was led to a large private room.
As soon as everyone arrived at the door, they heard gentle voices talking loudly.
"...This is a bad era. There are countless rebellions, evil cults, and natural disasters. There are also constant waves of beasts, and Qianyu is watching from the outside world.
But it is also the best of times. The Yangtze is gradually rising, inspiration is restored, various rare medicinal strains that have been extinct have reappeared in the world, and the wild growth of mountain beasts has also provided the materials for the improvement of martial arts for everyone here.
Compared with our predecessors, people of our generation may be able to see the peak of martial arts!"
"Having said that, the actual situation is not good!
I once heard that half a month ago, a fire unicorn, the king of beasts, appeared in the Mingya Buddhist Cave in Longjiao Mountain, Nanming County. Taking advantage of the rising water in the Taihuai River some time ago, it emerged from the Buddhist cave, causing fires all over the mountain, and even destroyed it.
The Longjiao Nie family was almost exterminated,
You must know that Kuangren Nie, the ancestor of the Nie family, is a great master."
As he spoke, his voice sighed softly.
It is not uncommon for this kind of beast tide and beast king to wipe out the clan. The Nie family is just a drop in the ocean. He is just famous, widely spread and well known.
"The beast tide is okay. Except for those beast kings in the mountains who have some spiritual wisdom, the rest are easy to kill. What is terrible are the evil cults and the demons of the Thousand Feathers Realm, the beast demons."
"I heard that Black Buddhism seems to be confronting Universalism in the south, and there are masters fighting against it. I don't know whether it's true or not?"
"I've also heard about this, but I don't know the specific situation. However, the demons and beast demons in Qianyu Realm are really difficult to deal with! I heard that the situation in Taizhou is getting worse."
"Hey, so what if it's bad, Taizhou is thousands of miles away from Huaizhou, how can it still endanger us?"
"How can we not endanger it? The realm is one, Chi County and Kyushu are the same as each other. If you think like this, I think it's a serious matter!"
The room was filled with people who were accomplished in martial arts and from extraordinary family backgrounds. They had a wide range of information channels and each had their own opinions. Before Lin Mo and others entered the room, they started a heated debate.
In fact, there were not many people in the house, only about ten people. Including Lin Mo and others, there were only twenty people. These were all the seed players of Lingmiao Sect in this session.
At this time, Wang Hao, whom he had seen that day, was sitting in the middle. He was wearing a green Peng bird robe today and looked very heroic. When he saw Lin Mo and others entering the room, he stood up with a smile and held his hands.
While the argument continued, Lin Mo and the others found an empty seat and sat down.
"Senior Brother Pang is really good at talking nonsense. Standing on a high platform, our Huaizhou Lingtai sect has three Taoist leaders. The Qianshan forces next door are not weaker than ours. Not counting the powerful Yuhou Mansion and Zhou Shengjun.
It’s nothing that can be compared to Taizhou, haha.”
A man in black robes with a yellow ribbon in his hair said with a sarcastic smile.
This person's aura is not weak, and his qi and blood are also strong. He is far superior to ordinary Li Ming. He is a genius.
"Junior Brother Ouyang was wrong. Taizhou is not weak. As the first major state in the past century to restore the integration of military and political affairs and implement military control, although there is no powerful sect like our Lingtai Sect, there are martial arts schools and Taoist schools.
But there are quite a few,
The martial arts hall there is equivalent to our sect. Even if the top strength is weaker than us, it is still only limited. Moreover, with the support of the imperial court, the middle-level combat power is much stronger. We are now in this situation only because of a treacherous trick.
And that side... is too strong."
In the far corner, a pale-skinned man stood up with a serious look on his face.
"I once had the honor to visit the first few gates of Luojia Mountain, and I also killed several monsters and monsters. Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary warriors to defeat the same realm, and it often requires siege to win...
"
After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at everyone present.
"I don't know if you all know this. A few days ago, several layers of the Luojia Mountain Sky Pass were broken, causing chaos. The person who took action was the Great Ri Zhenjun who killed the Huaihou in Taizhou before.
In that battle, the Qingbo Mountain Master, ranked fourth in the Qianshan Sect, was seriously injured. If the people from the Yuhou Mansion had not responded, he would have died..."
The man's face looked a little ugly and he said in a heavy voice.
After these words, Ouyang Feng, who was arguing with him, opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
Several months have passed since the incident in Taizhou. It caused a sensation all over the world, and everyone here naturally knew about it.
Speculations abounded. Some people suspected that the royal family of the Wangjing Dynasty was using a secret agent to punish the Huaihou of Taizhou for building a palace and tearing the earth apart. Others suspected that the prince of Huaihou had lived under the old Huaihou for a long time and was dissatisfied and committed unjust acts.
thing.
After all, the normal replacement of princes only lasts for thirty years. Once thirty years pass, the old and the new will replace each other, and the old prince will devote himself to martial arts to build up his foundation.
However, this Marquis of Huai has a superior natural appearance. He has been doing chores for sixty years, and he can still keep improving his martial arts. How can there be a prince in the world who has lived for sixty years?
The latter guess is also reasonable.
But no matter what, one fact cannot be changed.
The domineering Marquis of Huai was seriously injured by the Sun True Lord with several punches, and was almost roasted to the point of mummification.
And it was the True Monarch of the Sun who had caused trouble in Taizhou before and was rumored to have been seriously injured by Huang Tianjiao. He had destroyed several heavenly gates in Huaizhou a few days ago.
You must know that the master of Qingbo Mountain is not a small person, but a great master who ranks fourth in the Qianshan Sect and can be tied with the master of the three lines of their Lingtai Sect.
"Okay, okay, today is just for chatting. Just click here. Although Qianyu Alien is powerful, it is limited. Otherwise, how can I sit here to eat and chat?
You must know that the way of martial arts, like the way of the world, can only go up. The teachers could block it back then, but now we can't stop it?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Wang Hao stood up in time and said warmly.
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
"You are all talented people from our Lingmiao Sect. It's hard to get together here. Let's have a drink first."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp and then raised the wine glass in his hand.
Wang Hao's temperament is indeed extraordinary, and his speaking skills are also extremely good. He can liven up the atmosphere with just a few words.
Soon everyone raised their glasses and started talking about interesting things about the sect, as well as the wonderful scenery and things on the mountain.
At this time, the rumored spring wedding banquet began to be served.
One by one, the beautiful maids presented plates of delicacies, some steamed, some boiled, some fried, some pan-fried, all kinds of dishes, all delicious in color and flavor.
After the dishes were served, the banquet officially started.
Wang Hao is very popular. No matter who proposes a toast to him, he will always come. He can also clearly remember the name and origin of the visitor, and he will talk about some interesting things that interest both parties while drinking.
It didn't take long for the atmosphere to become even more lively.
Halfway through the meal, Wang Zhen finally arrived.
His appearance is similar to that of Wang Hao, but he is not as handsome as the latter, and his energy and blood are restrained, just like an ordinary person.
However, it is somewhat different from what Duan Mulei and others thought.
After Wang Zhen arrived, he drank a few glasses of wine with everyone, joked a bit, and mentioned some assessment points.
Knowing that the atmosphere at his place was not very lively, I told him to order whatever he wanted and he would pay the bill when the time came.
After saying that, he walked away.
There is absolutely no talk about being the so-called chief and number one in assessment as expected.
During this period, Lin Mo also made eye contact with people and names based on the information given by Geng Yizhuang, and met the other of the two strongest people in this seed, Lin Qingxue.
His appearance is indeed extraordinary, his name contains snow, and his skin is as white as snow.
In fact, due to martial arts training, most of the female disciples have good figures and good skin. In addition, they practice martial arts to strengthen their energy and rejuvenate their spirits, and their temperament is not bad, so they can be regarded as beauties.
However, Lin Qingxue feels a bit special to people. I don't know if it's due to her skills, but she gives people a very cold feeling. She sits down and eats silently, not talking to the people around her, as if she is too lazy to eat.
And his strength is also extraordinary. He has clearly not broken through to the master level yet, but the feeling given to Lin Mo is no worse than that of the master masters he killed before.
It's no wonder that he can stand out among the many geniuses of the Lingtai Sect.
After a feast of wine and food, everyone ate for nearly two hours before it was over.
In the end, Wang Hao said nothing.
It was so serious that Duan Mulei and Mei Lihui, who held a small meeting, looked a little ugly.
Lin Mo didn't realize anything, he ate and drank for free, and heard a lot of secrets, which was a small gain.
In the night.
Mingchun Loukou.
After Wang Hao saw off the last person, he returned to the private room.
At this time, Wang Zhen, who had already left the room, was sitting in the middle, pouring himself a drink.
"Are you sure you don't want me to step in and clear some obstacles for you?"
Wang Hao sat down and Wang Zhen, who was drinking, said casually.
Wang Hao on the side shook his head and smiled.
"If someone has to show up for even such a big entrance exam, what's the point of practicing martial arts for more than ten years?"
"You are more arrogant than when you were a child." Wang Zhen's voice was low.
"This is not arrogance or not. Among the people present, except for Lin Qingxue, only Duan Mulei has something. The rest are just mediocre. He can be subdued by being grand, but using small tricks will only make people laugh."
Wang Hao said calmly.
After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks from before and picked up the vegetables to eat.
He only drank wine and didn't eat much food.
But halfway through eating, I put down my chopsticks.
"By the way, brother, do you have any information about where Lin Qingxue came from? I always find this person a bit mysterious."
Wang Zhen shook his head, "There is no background. I found out that his father had a relationship with a senior brother of our sect. He entered a different courtyard through that relationship. His talent is very strong, but as a woman, that's all."
"Cultivating to this point based on one's own talent is not just something that can be done simply like that."
Wang Hao clicked his tongue.
"What? No confidence?"
"It's not that, I'm just interested, haha."
Wang Hao smiled.
"By the way, one of my junior sisters has given you a message. If by chance, you can help her teach a disciple, well, just a small punishment but a big punishment will be enough. She will be rewarded handsomely afterwards."
Wang Zhen suddenly thought of something and said suddenly.
