Countless eyes fell on Qin Yun, pity, ridicule, contempt, gloating... they were everywhere.
"No? Is this the level of the Qi Refining Realm? It's not as good as me, who is in the Physical Training Realm!"
"I don't think he has ever learned to sword!"
"I heard that this person offended the second son of the third wife. I also heard..."
"Humph, I bet he won't be able to hang out in the Foreign Affairs Hall for a few days!"
No one thought that Qin Yun would be defeated so quickly and miserably. You must know that even a warrior in the physical training realm, as long as he has practiced swordsmanship for several years, can withstand a few moves against an opponent in the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, let alone
They are still rivals at the same level.
He was defeated in one move, either because Qin Yun didn't understand swordsmanship at all, or because he deliberately let his guard down.
However, no one can think of the reason why Qin Yun deliberately betrayed him. You must know that the outcome of the competition determines the qualifications to enter the martial arts hall, and even if he betrayed him, he did not need to do it so embarrassingly.
At the elder's seat, the red-faced old man smiled. He was very satisfied that he had another outstanding disciple.
The skinny old man in the Foreign Affairs Hall frowned, looking extremely unhappy.
Although it was said that all the Qi Refining Realm disciples who lost the competition would definitely join the Foreign Affairs Hall, Qin Yun's defeat was so ugly that he couldn't hold it in his face - he was just a waste, how could he survive a few rounds?
"I accept it!" Qin Suifeng took back his sword gracefully and saluted Qin Yun gracefully.
But he couldn't hide the pride and contempt for Qin Yun in his eyes!
Qin Yun responded bitterly and stepped down. This result was what he expected, but he was really unwilling to do so.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. The previous move has affected the wound, and there is a dull pain in the back and shoulders. If you lose yourself for the sake of a gamble, then it will be a real loss that outweighs the gain.
The competition on the wooden platform continued from the morning until near the afternoon, when all the newcomers were assigned.
The selection of returnees to the sect is basically controlled by three elder-level figures, and the other deacons secretly select leaders for each clan and branch they represent for future wooing and use.
The seven direct descendants of the Qin family fought openly and secretly, and were never monolithic.
Some people were happy and some were worried. All in all, the entire selection process was uneventful. Nearly 600 descendants of the Qin family from all over the country were officially included in the clan.
………
Qin Family, Muyang Taoist Hall.
Muyang Taoist Hall is located next to the huge mansion of the Qin clan. Rows of tall buildings and majestic ancient stone walls isolate a solemn and solemn world.
As the core and most important force of the Qin clan, Mu Yangdao is like a ferocious beast crawling at the feet of a giant.
It always watches its surroundings vigilantly, warning those peepers with malicious intentions, and guarding the glory of the millennium family.
At the entrance to the Seventh Hall of Muyang Dao, there are tens of thousands of members of the Taoist Hall. There are three to four thousand people in the Foreign Affairs Hall alone. This does not include people from various branch halls. The power is huge.
The entrance of the Foreign Affairs Hall is located at the west end of the main hall. It has three tall buildings: Yao Ri, Lan Yue, and Zhai Xing, as well as a special martial arts field. The members of the hall are very lively coming and going, and the grandeur is comparable to that of a small sect.
"From today on, you are the outer members of the Foreign Affairs Hall!"
In the hall of the Star-Zhaing Building, one hundred and five disciples who had recently joined the Foreign Affairs Hall stood in line to listen to the lectures given by the hall master Qin Wujiu.
Qin Wujiu was the skinny old man on the wooden platform during the selection. His sharp eyes like a falcon swept over the faces of each disciple.
"Our Foreign Affairs Hall is different from the people in other halls. We often have to walk outside. You must remember your identity. It doesn't matter if you lose your own people, but you will lose the face of the hall and the family..."
His eyes paused on Qin Yun for a moment: "I will never forgive you lightly!"
As the leader of the Foreign Affairs Hall and the elder of the Qin family, Qin Wujiu didn't say too much nonsense. He left after leaving a shocking warning.
The next thing is done by the stewards in the hall. In fact, the disciples rarely see the hall master, and the ones who have the most contact are the stewards two levels below.
Each newcomer was assigned two sets of green shirts, which are the exclusive uniforms of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
In addition, everyone also received a hundred-forged fine iron sword, fifty taels of silver settlement allowance and a black iron talisman representing their identity. In addition, everyone can go to the third floor of the Star Building to choose a high-end book that suits them.
Qi Xin Technique and Sword Technique.
Qin Yun and others have one month to learn new martial arts skills and become familiar with the rules of the Foreign Affairs Hall and their responsibilities. After one month, they will officially assume the tasks assigned by the hall.
The three stewards answered everyone's questions conscientiously and were very kind.
In fact, compared to the much-anticipated Martial Arts Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall is not that bad. As long as the assigned tasks for each month are completed, the disciples can allocate the rest of their time on their own.
The main hall has a dedicated Xiantian realm swordsman who sits at the entrance of the hall and is responsible for teaching and instructing the disciples in martial arts and mental techniques. As long as they accumulate enough family merit, they can also learn more advanced skills and specialized guidance.
Newcomers can be promoted by accumulating merit. It is possible to move from the outer hall to the inner hall, and to be promoted from ordinary members to stewards and deacons.
The most outstanding and outstanding disciples can even be recommended by their families and become disciples of side sects or even sects. That will definitely have a bright future!
Moreover, the treatment at the Foreign Affairs Hall is very good. There is a quota of silver and elixirs distributed every month. Of course, if you want to get more and better things, you have to rely on your own efforts.
No matter how hard you work, you will gain. The family will never raise useless people. As long as you work hard and succeed, you will definitely be rewarded.
"When you have been here for a long time, you will know the benefits of our foreign affairs hall!" A steward said with a smile: "Okay, I will take you upstairs to choose the sword manual."
Everyone became excited when they heard that they were going to choose a sword-playing method, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
They have all reached the Qi Refining Realm, and no one is not eager to learn stronger skills.
After detailed introductions by the stewards, those students who failed the competition and joined the Foreign Affairs Hall no longer lamented in frustration, but began to plan their futures in their hearts.
Even Qin Yun secretly felt that maybe it was a good thing that he was accidentally selected to join the Foreign Affairs Hall from the Wu Hall.
Under the leadership of the steward, one hundred and five disciples walked up the stairs one by one. Everyone passed the heavily guarded second floor and arrived at the third floor of the Star-Zhaing Building.
The scene in front of them shocked everyone!
The ground is paved with thick floors, and nine thick dark red columns with animal patterns support the high dome. Rows of wooden bookcases are neatly arranged, and each shelf is filled with books.
Looking at it, you can see that there are countless thousands of books stored in the densely packed place, which is almost mind-numbing.
There are ten desks placed on the side near the window, and ten servants in gray are sitting behind them, writing and copying books.
"This is just the library of our Foreign Affairs Hall. The one in the clan main hall is ten times bigger. In the future, as long as you accumulate enough merits, you can go here or even the main hall library to borrow books, various exercises, sword manuals, and miscellaneous notes.
, the experience is everything you need!”
The steward proudly introduced: "There are even Xuan-level exercises in it!"
Earth-level skills! Many disciples' eyes suddenly lit up, and some even swallowed involuntarily.
Internal strength mental skills and sword skills can be divided into six levels: basic, advanced, yellow level, Xuan level, earth level and heaven level. The more advanced the skills are, the more precious and rare they are. They are not passed down by all sects and families.
The secret.
Although it is not possible to learn advanced skills with a book of Kung Fu techniques, it is difficult to buy even a yellow-level Kung Fu book with money outside, let alone a Xuan-level Kung Fu technique!
The library of the clan headquarters may contain earth-level exercises or even heaven-level exercises.
This is the heritage and strength of the Millennium Family!
Ta! Ta!
Suddenly, there was a low knocking sound from the side, and a white-haired old woman was seen slowly walking out from behind a row of bookshelves, leaning on a cane.
She glanced at the steward coldly, and the steward immediately bowed his head respectfully and saluted: "Aunt Sun, I will help you to help the new disciples choose their exercises!"
This nanny Sun was short and skinny, as if she could be knocked down by a gust of wind. She looked like a dwarf in front of the tall and strong steward.
But when the steward saw her, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, his respectful gesture was without any pretense.
Grandma Sun glanced at the newcomers, nodded and said, "There are quite a few newcomers in the Foreign Affairs Hall this year. This old guy Qin Wujiu must be very happy."
When it comes to the head of the foreign affairs hall, she is not polite at all.
The manager didn't dare to talk to me, he just nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
"Okay, you go and choose advanced exercises from the ten rows of bookcases over there. Each person can only choose two books." Grandma Sun raised her crutches, pointed to a row of bookcases not far to the right and said, "I'll give you half of it."
After an hour, let me take a look at it after you’ve chosen it.”
The manager didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took the newcomers to choose books.
With this person who even the hall master didn't look down on sitting in charge, none of the teenagers dared to laugh and talk, and seriously began to select the exercises that suited them on the bookshelf.
The ten rows of bookshelves look like there are a lot of books, but in fact there are dozens or even hundreds of the same books. There is no problem even if everyone chooses the same book.
The advanced exercises here are mainly divided into three categories: inner qi and heart methods, sword skills and sword manuals, and miscellaneous ones. Among them, the inner qi and heart methods are divided into the five elements and five systems of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The martial arteries of the vast majority of warriors are among the five elements. If you have a fire-type martial art, you can get twice the result with half the effort if you choose the fire-type heart method. If you choose the gold-type heart method, it is not impossible, but the effect is very poor.
If you choose a water-based mind method that is incompatible with fire, you are simply asking for death.
However, there are also people who have very special martial arts and are able to practice multiple mental methods or special mental methods. This is another type of talent, so it cannot be generalized.
Everyone's first choice was of course the Inner Qi Heart Method, and most people crowded in front of the bookcase of the Fire Heart Method.
