The leopard-print elder walked past, but Long Chen ignored him. In order to disguise himself, he was a bit polite to him.
Today we are going to fight to the death. Either he dies or I die. There is no need to be polite at all.
Walking into the courtyard, Long Chen saw Protector Zuo.
Today, Protector Zuo's eyes are full of color and his clothes are brand new, just like the Chinese New Year.
"Master Protector is in a good mood."
Long Chen said with an unhappy tone.
Protector Zuo did not get angry with Long Chen because today was a happy day.
"Yes, the annual initiation ceremony is only held once every few decades."
Long Chen frowned and asked: "Isn't the Holy Blood Order issued only once every one hundred years? How many decades?"
Protector Zuo was so happy that he spilled the beans today.
In fact, Holy Snow Peak accepts more than just Holy Blood Orders. It usually also asks the branch in the Central Plains to find outstanding candidates and send them to Holy Snow Peak.
Generally, it is once every 30 years or so, because talents are not leeks and they also need to grow, which does not happen every year.
In particular, what Saint Snow Peak needs are elites among the people, and their numbers are even rarer.
As for the Holy Blood Order that occurs once every hundred years, it is a great harvest. As long as the best ones are selected, of course the main target is the Long family.
The top experts of the Long family and the branch sects of the Changsheng Sect are unable to forcibly control him. Just like Long Chen, the Changsheng Sect in the Central Plains cannot control him at all.
Therefore, they can only be trapped using the Holy Blood Order.
"Oh, that's wrong. It's time for you to go in and practice. The doors may open very late today. Please be patient. If necessary, you can get some food in first."
Protector Zuo explained it in one sentence and did not want to explain more. She knew that Long Chen was very smart.
Long Chen didn't answer whether he wanted something to eat, but asked: "I really can't go?"
Protector Zuo's eyes became cold and he said: "You can't go, this is the sect master's will, you can't disobey it!"
Long Chen looked unhappy and pointed at the people in the lower courtyard and said: "Do you know what those bastards said about me just now? They said that I was just playing with women and didn't practice properly, so I was not qualified to participate in the initiation ceremony!"
"This is an insult. Am I not as good as these rubbish guys?"
"Not to mention anything else, Ziyun, Miaoyin, Ganxin, and He Ping, under my guidance, they have become the four best. I am no better than them!"
"Why can they do it but I can't!"
Long Chen spoke very excitedly and his tone was so angry that he almost jumped up and hit someone.
Protector Zuo thought that Long Chen was really trying to argue with him, so he immediately comforted him: "Why do you have to be angry with them? You are a disciple appointed by the sect master, and your future prospects are a hundred times better than theirs. They are at the level of white-faced disciples when they join the sect and fight to death. You don't
Same!"
Long Chen was silent. After a moment, he turned around and pulled the handle of the secret room. The stone door opened. Long Chen went in and lay down on the ground, with his legs crossed, as if he was lying flat on his back.
Guardian Zuo knew that Long Chen would not be able to practice well today, and there was nothing she could do about it. The cow refused to drink water and was forced to press its head. This matter could not be forced.
But it doesn't matter, once the incident passes, it will slowly recover.
Pulling the door handle, the stone door suddenly fell. Long Chen did nothing in the secret room, waiting for Bai Xue to come and open the door.
This secret room can only be opened from the outside, and there is no way out unless the stone door is blown to pieces.
However, this stone door is made of basalt and is more than five meters thick. Unless Long Chen really becomes an immortal, he cannot break it.
"Baixue, don't let anything go wrong!"
Long Chen prayed secretly in his heart.
In the lower courtyard, Elder Leopard Pattern arrived at the door, and everyone immediately paid their respects.
The Leopard Pattern elder counted the number of people and made sure it was correct, then said: "Today I will hold an initiation ceremony for you. After almost a year of hard training, you have finally achieved the right results. I would like to congratulate you all."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. Jiang Wu came out and worshiped: "This is all the advice of the elders. If it weren't for the elders' earnest teachings, how could we have participated in the initiation ceremony first?"
"Some people rely on their bloodline talents and do nothing all day long. Now they can only stare and envy us for taking the first step."
Jiang Wu was still mocking Long Chen for his poor cultivation. Although everyone was unhappy with Long Chen, Jiang Wu's little belly also made people laugh.
Master Miaoyin was very unhappy when he saw Jiang Wu repeatedly mocking Long Chen. He turned around and gave Master Ziyun a wink, and Master Ziyun understood.
Let's take action later and kill Jiang Wu first to vent his anger!
Gan Xin and Mo Lin noticed the expressions of the two of them and secretly stepped on Miao Yin, telling them not to act out of anger and to focus on the overall situation.
Miaoyin ignored the two of them.
The leopard pattern elder laughed and said: "You can't say that, Xu Zhi was appointed by the sect master. Didn't you see the punishment of the three elders?"
Jiang Wu looked stern when he said this and did not dare to answer.
The leopard pattern elder smiled and said: "Come with me, today is a happy day."
The leopard-print elder led the way, followed by 13 pre-selected disciples up the mountain.
When we walked to Zuohu court, Zuohufa just came out. Elder Leopard Pattern immediately bowed to him: "I've seen Zuohufa."
Protector Zuo glanced at Ziyun and said, "Let's go."
Guardian Zuo walked in front, with the leopard print elder following behind. Ziyun glanced at Guardian Zuo and immediately looked away.
Master Ziyun is also an old martial artist, and she can guess that Protector Zuo's blood exchange target is her just by looking at her eyes.
The owner of Miaoyin also guessed along this line of thinking that his replacement partner might be the Right Protector.
Gan Xin and Mo Lin did not look directly at Protector Zuo, but they were aware of his gaze.
This is the habit of assassins and spies. They only look at people from the corner of their eyes and never look directly at them, let alone turn their heads to stare at them. This is a taboo.
People are sensitive. Others will always feel something when they look at it, especially experts.
Gan Xin and Mo Lin wondered who their blood would be drawn from, whether it would be the leopard print elder and the snake print elder.
The two of them unconsciously glanced at Protector Zuo's courtyard, where Long Chen was practicing in the secret room.
Their fortunes and lives were all staked on Long Chen.
Whether he can leave alive depends on whether Long Chen can succeed.
The two of them prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that Long Chen would create another miracle.
More than a dozen people followed and walked up until they reached the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, with iron clouds pressing overhead, the silver-black snow forest to the south, and the vast sea of snow on the other three sides, the Holy Snow Peak is like a deserted place.
The 13 pre-selected disciples came to the top of the mountain for the first time. The other 9 people felt very strange and were full of excitement.
Master Ziyun and the other four people felt very depressed in their hearts. The Eternal Life Palace in the north was like the Palace of the King of Hell, opening its big black mouth, as if it wanted to devour people.
"This is the Palace of Eternal Life, like a heavenly palace."
Jiang Wu reached out excitedly, wanting to penetrate the iron cloud above his head and step into the heaven.
Others were also very happy, and their joy was beyond words.
Master Ziyun and the four others pretended to be happy and echoed what others said.
Protector Zuo led 13 people into the Hall of Eternal Life. Today, the dark stone walls revealed a blood-red color, and the bright green light at night made the atmosphere even more bizarre.
There was no one on the stage, the sect leader hadn't arrived yet.
There are two crystal coffins placed under the table, connected by eighteen crystal tubes in the middle.
There were six elders standing next to them, namely: elder with snake pattern, elder with horse face pattern, elder with bull head pattern, elder with bear pattern, elder with fish pattern, and elder with turtle pattern.
Guardian Zuo stood in front and shouted: "Everyone ranks according to their names."
Everyone guessed that the ranking should be based on cultivation level. The top ones should be Master Ziyun, Master Miaoyin, Gan Xin and Mo Lin, and then others.
Everyone looked at Ziyun Master and the four others with envy, as they had benefited from Long Chen.
Master Ziyun and the other four people secretly complained in their hearts. The further in front they stood, the faster they would die.
