Lin Yun and Liu Yunyan stood side by side on the bow of the ship, each with his or her own style, no distinction between them.
The two casually chatted about some things and got closer to each other.
After a long time, Lin Yun said softly: "Miss Liu, speaking of which, you haven't told me why core disciples are so important to you?"
That day at Ziyun Lake, she looked at the Purple Fire Golden Lotus with a look of unfulfillment, but she was extremely heartbroken and extremely weak.
There is a story in that look.
Liu Yunyan hesitated to speak, and after a while, she said apologetically: "Let's talk about this later. But being able to become a core disciple does mean a lot to me. This little lady will definitely remember Mr. Lin's kindness."
Judging from his expression, he was probably hiding something. Since he didn't want to talk about it, Lin Yun naturally didn't ask any more questions.
When night fell, the two said goodbye to each other.
Elegant room interior.
Lin Yun was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a third-grade spiritual jade in each of his left and right hands.
As the Purple Kite Sword Technique circulates, the surging spiritual energy in the spiritual jade turns into wisps of rain and mist, falling into the silver-white Zi Mansion.
This purple mansion contains pure and vast true essence.
The power of the Purple Kite Sword Power that was condensed into a liquid was completely different from that of taking half a step into the Purple Mansion.
In the center of the Purple Mansion, a silver purple irises shimmered with cold light, waiting quietly.
In addition, there are many evil spirits standing in the depths of the void, looking coldly at this purple mansion.
If you look carefully, you can find that most of the refined spiritual energy has been greedily absorbed by these two evil spirits.
Especially the candle dragon with the face of a human and the body of a dragon. With the injection of spiritual energy, a faint flame seems to be gradually becoming clear in its eyes as dark as the abyss.
As for Qiongqi, there hasn't been much change, but his momentum is not weak at all.
The reason why the third-grade spiritual jade is consumed so quickly is not only because the Purple Kite Sword Art itself requires huge resources, but also has a lot to do with these two greedy evil spirits.
Lin Yun couldn't bear the headache. No matter how much spiritual jade he had, it was like a drop in the bucket.
It can't feed the Purple Kite Sword Technique, let alone these two evil spirits.
Five days later.
Lin Yun clearly felt that the river suddenly became lively. Thousands of sails gathered together and the originally vast river became crowded and narrow.
"Ahead is Youzhou City!"
Liu Yunyan stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the outline of the city that appeared at the end of her field of vision, with a faint look of joy on her face.
It was obvious that she was eager to return home and eager to rush back to Tianfu Academy.
"Liu Yunyan!"
"It's really her. She's so beautiful. She deserves to be the most beautiful woman in Tianfu Academy, but she's a little too cold. I heard that she went out for the Purple Fire Golden Lotus. I don't know what the outcome will be."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to do. Except for the Overlord Xuanyang Palace, almost all the other quasi-overlord-level forces in Youzhou City have taken notice."
"The young man next to her looks very strange. I don't know who he is. The two of them seem to be very close."
Liu Yunyan was quite well-known in Youzhou City, and many warriors on nearby ships recognized her appearance and cast their eyes over her.
A few voices of discussion could be heard.
Lin Yun glanced at the woman next to him. Liu Yunyan's face was slightly cold. She didn't show any signs of change in the face of this. She must have been used to it.
After a while, a majestic and domineering city appeared in the sight of several people.
The ancient territory of Nanhua has endless territory, numerous sects, and thousands of empires, divided into nine states.
These nine states have existed since ancient times. The land of one state is vast and boundless. Such a vast territory as the Great Qin Empire is not very conspicuous in one state.
The sects and forces with truly powerful foundations are all gathered in the city.
The nine state cities are Youzhou City, Yunzhou City, Qingzhou City, Jinzhou City, Yangzhou City, Yuzhou City, Xingzhou City, Yizhou City and Jiuzhou City.
The magnificent and ancient city in front of you is Youzhou City.
Looking up at the city wall, an ancient and vast heritage rushes towards us. This city is larger than the vast mountains, like a real dragon entrenched.
It's intimidating and makes people afraid to make mistakes.
Lin Yun was thoughtful. It was rumored that the nine prefectures and cities were all places with dragon veins and were blessed by supreme dragon luck.
The so-called Zhoucheng is also called Dragon City by many people, and is said to be the nine dragon cities in the ancient Nanhua region.
Lin Yun murmured to himself that this city was probably much larger than the entire Qintian County.
The big ship that passed through the city gate looked as small as a solitary boat under the arched wall.
After entering the city, Lin Yun was on the bow of the boat, casually looking around at the scene in the city.
Almost all the people walking on the street are innate warriors, not mortals. The Great Qin Empire can be called the leader of the Xuanwu Realm. In this city, there are many, even rare Zifu strongmen, and they can be seen everywhere here.
If you're not careful, you can even feel some frightening presence.
That was the aura that a strong man in the Heavenly Soul Realm exuded unintentionally.
It was an eye-opener.
Lin Yun whispered to himself in his heart, this Youzhou City is really beautiful, crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
"Lin Yun, it's time to go ashore."
Liu Yunyan called out to Lin Yun, then jumped into the air and landed towards the city dock.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yun and other disciples from Tianfu Academy spread out their body skills at the same time and flew down towards the shore.
Lin Yun withdrew his gaze, tapped his toes, and landed over.
Tianfu Academy is one of the five quasi-hegemonic forces in Youzhou City. Although it is not as famous as the overlord Xuanyang Palace, it is still famous.
The academy is good at cultivating mystical masters and has mastered many spiritual patterns that other forces do not have. There are many seniors in the academy who are highly accomplished in spiritual patterns.
There are many children from aristocratic families in Youzhou City who want to learn spiritual patterns, and Tianfu Academy must be their first choice.
Compared with other quasi-hegemon-level forces, its combat power is slightly weaker, but its foundation is not bad at all.
He is also good at setting up formations, making treasures, and refining medicines. He has deep connections with various forces and has a wide network of contacts. No one dares to offend Tianfu Academy at will, because no one knows how many forces may be involved if he is not careful.
When the group of people arrived outside the academy, the buildings in front of them were very different from what Lin Yun had imagined.
In terms of grandeur, this Tianfu Academy is even slightly inferior to the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, but it is still elegant and exquisite. If you look closely, you can find that the overall building has a natural flavor of Taoism.
At first glance, it looks plain and simple.
But when the breath really penetrates, you can feel an indescribable thickness that is suffocating and unshakable.
There were people coming and going in front of the courtyard gate, and there was a stone monument not far away.
The stone tablet is engraved with many spiritual patterns, some are sharp, some are elegant, some are violent, and they are intertwined to form a magnificent picture.
With Lin Yun's attainments, he could barely discern these spiritual patterns, most of which were rare third-grade spiritual patterns.
Even if it is clearly drawn, it is difficult to copy it.
Tianfu
The academy erected this stone tablet in a large and square manner, which seemed very confident.
The most touching thing is that at the core of the stone tablet, there is a spiritual pattern like a pupil, which makes you sink into it just by looking at it. It is very strange.
interesting.
Lin Yun's eyes lit up and he thought that he was not in the wrong place.
This place may really help him solve the mystery of the Rose Scroll. He must win the position of guest minister no matter what.
"Yunyan, you are finally back."
Just as a few people were about to enter the academy, a group of disciples from Tianfu Academy came not far away. The leader was an old man in black clothes.
"Elder Yu."
Liu Yunyan cupped her hands and looked at this person, saying respectfully.
Elder Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Is the mission completed?"
"Well, fortunately, I lived up to my fate and picked three purple fire golden lotuses in full."
"It's not easy. This time the Purple Fire Golden Lotus was born. I heard that Canjian Pavilion, Blood Feather Pavilion and Sanjue Mansion were all involved. There were even many casual cultivators who heard about it."
Elder Yu's face was filled with joy. Liu Yunyan was his proud disciple, and he could complete the task of Purple Fire Golden Lotus so beautifully. Naturally, his face was bright.
"This young man is very strange. Who is he?"
Elder Yu looked around and found Lin Yun's figure, and said doubtfully.
"This is my friend Lin Yun. I would not have been able to obtain the Purple Fire Golden Lotus without his help in this mission. After I am promoted to a core disciple, I would like to recommend him to become the guest deacon."
Liu Yunyan made the introduction, and Lin Yun stepped forward and bowed his hands.
An imperceptible strange color flashed in Elder Yu's eyes, and then he smiled and said: "I'm afraid there is something special about this girl Yun Yan. Bai Yun, please take him to live in the academy first."
"OK."
Bai Yun, the little girl, quickly agreed with a smile.
Lin Yun was thoughtful in his heart and felt something was not right, but he didn't say much.
"Elder Yu, is there any problem with Lin Yun's matter?"
After the people left, Liu Yunyan asked softly. She was observing his words and expressions, and she had already seen some clues on Elder Yu's face.
Elder Yu sighed softly: "The guest ministers in my Tianfu Academy have the lowest status and are equivalent to the treatment of inner disciples. The competition has always been fierce. On weekdays, it is okay. There are core disciples who recommend, and the rest of the assessment is just a formality. But now
Unfortunately, that girl Mo Ling also recommended someone, who is her cousin."
"Senior Sister Mo Ling."
At the mention of this name, Liu Yunyan frowned slightly.
Senior Sister Mo Ling is ranked quite high in strength among the core disciples, and she is also a direct descendant of the Mo family.
There are many aristocratic families in Youzhou City, and their background is not much weaker than that of Tianfu Academy, and the Mo family is one of them.
She recommended a cousin from her family to come to Tianfu Academy as a guest, which was much more important than hers.
"It's a bit difficult..."
"If it doesn't work, just forget it. I'll compensate Lin Yun in other ways."
Elder Yu said tentatively.
"no!"
Liu Yunyan flatly refused: "I don't care whether you can succeed or not, but the quota I recommended will definitely be given. As for the conflict with Senior Sister Mo Ling, that will be decided by the sect."
Elder Yu gave a bitter smile and did not try to persuade him.
He knew very well what kind of temper this girl had and would never change her decision.
It just made her a little curious as to what Lin Yun's background was that allowed her, her apprentice, to offend that girl Mo Ling.
