In the evening, after hosting a banquet for several true monks from various Yuzhou sects, Yang Junping still looked tired when he returned home.
Even though he seemed to have great success these past few days, the internal battles with the various sects and their different schemings made him more tired than half a month of practicing in seclusion.
Peng Shitong saw a jade slip in his hand and asked with a smile: "Let me guess, this should be the list of forty-one elite candidate disciples who have entered the second round, right?"
Yang Junping smiled and handed the jade slip in his hand to her.
Peng Shitong scanned the jade slip with his spiritual sense and said with a smile: "It's not bad. Nine of the twenty-eight elite seeds this time actually broke through the first round. It's much better than three years ago. It can be seen that the family has supported the place in the past three years."
The growth of a monk is quite effective."
"Don't just look at the surname and place of origin. Those things can be deceiving. There may not be any of the nine local elite seeds with foreign surnames related to the Yang family."
Yang Junping drank half a bowl of hot tea in one breath. Peng Shitong repeatedly asked him to pay attention to his self-cultivation. After all, he was the future head of the famous Yang family and should not be so rude in every move. However, Yang Junping never put these things aside.
In the heart.
Peng Shitong smiled and said: "I have heard about the roll call at the school grounds today. It is said that they slapped several elders in the family in the face. Why, could there be someone among these nine who slipped through the net?"
"snort!"
Yang Junping sneered disdainfully, and then said: "That's not true, these nine people came up based on their strength. But, for example, this Wu Chunxi, although he was born in an ordinary village in Huangsha Town, but
Therefore, this boy has some talent and knows how to work hard, but somehow he has caught the eye of Uncle Seven. He has received a lot of training in the past few years. It is said that Uncle Seven has taken this boy to see Old Thirteen several times, which is very impressive.
Got some pointers.”
"It turns out he is Uncle Seventh's disciple, no wonder!"
Yang Junping casually named two more names and said: "For example, these two have also received the attention and deliberate training of the Yang monks stationed in the local area. Among these nine monks with other surnames, they actually cultivated entirely on their own.
There were actually only six who made it to the second round.”
Peng Shitong smiled and said: "That's not bad. At least it won't be like the previous two times. After the first round, the Yang family monks were almost wrapped up."
Yang Junping threw the jade slip aside and asked: "By the way, has the alchemy room discovered any good candidates with alchemy talent these days?"
Peng Shitong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you think alchemists are that easy to train? I looked at several masters from Dading Hall and Du Zhenren from Liuhuo Valley, and in the end, I only recruited two who may have the potential to become alchemists in the future.
As an apprentice, no matter how high it is, it’s hard to say.”
Yang Junping smacked his lips and said, "There are only two alchemists, so that's enough. By the way, why are Xi'er and Yao'er missing?"
Peng Shitong smiled bitterly and said: "These two children have been mysterious these two days, and they don't know what they are doing."
Yang Junping snorted coldly and said: "After this elite competition is completed, let's see how I deal with them two."
After that, Yang Junping poured the remaining spirit tea into his mouth in one breath, stood up and walked out.
Upon seeing this, Peng Shitong quickly caught up and asked, "It's time to eat, why are you going?"
Yang Junping didn't even look back and said: "Go to the back mountain to see how many people are working hard. By the way, I can learn from my elder brother. I can pretend to be a senior expert by giving some random instructions, and then look at their ecstatic expressions. It will be easy to understand."
This gives me a sense of accomplishment when I advance to the real world!"
Peng Shitong looked at his back dumbfounded and said: "You are really..."...
Yang Qinhu rushed home excitedly. Before anyone could enter the door, a voice could already be heard: "Mom, I've passed the first round. I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"
However, the usual scene where his mother came out to greet him when he shouted did not happen. There was no sound in the yard. This situation usually only happened after his father came home from outside.
Yang Qinhu, who was originally arrogant, suddenly became cautious, glanced around the yard with a sly look, and then tiptoed away.
"where did you go?"
A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which made him jump. However, Yang Qinhu reacted immediately, breathed a sigh of relief, and said carelessly: "Hey, it's you, the eldest brother. You scared me to death.
I thought dad was back! But brother, your cultivation has become more and more powerful, and you are now at the peak of the evil spirit realm. I think you will soon be another core disciple of the family after Brother Lang."
Yang Qincong's face darkened when he heard this. He had advanced to the Evil Qi Realm for several years, but Yang Qinlang, who had just advanced to the Evil Qi Realm not long ago, had preceded him to become a core disciple of the family. This made him somewhat uncomfortable, but no
Comfortable or uncomfortable, it was an indisputable fact that Yang Qinlang was stronger than him. His brother obviously wanted to flatter him, but he didn't know that a guy almost poked his lungs.
Yang Qincong said in a deep voice: "Dad didn't come back, but grandpa did."
Yang Qinhu, who was about to show off to his elder brother that he had passed the first round, was frightened when he heard this and could not speak fluently: "What, what? Grandpa is back? Isn't his old man in Wilderness Town?"
Yang Qinchong was too lazy to answer and said directly: "Grandpa wants to see you, come with me."
Yang Qinhu followed her elder brother and moved towards the main room, looking like a mouse about to meet a cat.
Yang Tiezhu's face looked very serious, which made Yang Qinhu's heart beat even more.
Seeing him come in, Yang Tiezhu waved his hand and said: "Xiao Er, please tell grandpa the process of today's roll call in the school field."
Yang Qinhu saw that although her grandfather's face was not very good-looking, he seemed to have no intention of punishing her. He immediately calmed down and told Yang Tiezhu everything that happened on the school grounds in detail.
Yang Tiezhu's face showed no emotion or anger, but his mind was not on listening to his grandson's retelling of the roll-call process at school. In fact, he had already received reports on these things before returning to Xishan Village, which was why he hurried back.
reason.
Yang Qinhu told what happened, Yang Tiezhu closed his eyes and said nothing, and Yang Qinhu became more and more uneasy.
Yang Qinchong thought for a while and said: "Grandpa, this matter may not be as serious as you worry about. How many people in the entire Yang family dare to deny the Han family's face? Besides, Grandpa's response will at least not leave anyone disappointed.
What’s more, grandpa, you and the patriarch have been friends since childhood, and the patriarch will never care about these little things."
Yang Tiezhu nodded and said: "Having said that, I still need to explain this matter clearly to the clan leader. Face is one thing, attitude is another. You two remember what I said, we will eventually
They both have the surname Yang, and they have nothing to hide from their family members. Grandpa will go to Xishan to ask for a meeting with the clan leader, and then he will rush back to Wilderness Town overnight. You two must work hard while you stay in Xishan Village, and don’t embarrass grandpa and me."
The two grandsons were obedient. Yang Tiezhu glared at Yang Qinhu and said, "Especially you, Xiao Er. I heard that there is a dandy among the children of the Yang family. You can't be among them, right?"
Yang Qinhu was startled and said quickly: "No, no, it's nothing!"...
After the twenty-eight elite seeds with foreign surnames who participated in the elite competition came to Xishan Village, they were collectively arranged to stay temporarily in the guest room of the Yang family. However, Feng Yuankun did not check in. Someone had arranged it for him before he came to Xishan Village.
residence.
After passing the first round of the competition, Feng Yuankun returned to his temporary residence and saw someone waiting for him at the door from a distance.
"Aunt Yang, I'm back." Feng Yuankun waved to the person at the door from a distance.
When Yang Tianfang saw Feng Yuankun coming back, he smiled and said: "Yes, your teacher's teachings over the years have not been in vain. I will study hard at my aunt's place for the next three days, and strive to reach the top eight in one breath and seize the status of elite disciple. Your teacher's face
There is light above."
Feng Yuankun smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aunt Yang, I will work hard."
Yang Tianfang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Come in, your teacher sent something to someone this afternoon and asked me to tell you a few words."
Feng Yuankun's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed Yang Tianfang to the front hall, where he saw something like a gray pocket placed on a table in the front hall.
"Mid-grade magic weapon Xunfeng Bag!"
Feng Yuankun stretched out his hand to grab the Xunfeng belt. Unexpectedly, the figure in front of him flashed and he missed it. The bag was already in Yang Tianfang's hand.
Seeing Feng Yuankun's astonished expression, Yang Tianfang smiled and said: "Your teacher said that you can refine this magic weapon first, but you are not allowed to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. Before you encounter a truly powerful enemy, you are the last to use it.
It's better to hone your other magical powers in the fight, this is your teacher's instruction."
Feng Yuankun scratched his head and asked with some confusion: "Aunt Yang, the teacher always said that my magical powers are far from perfect, and he even disagreed with me refining magic weapons, saying that my foundation was not solid enough, but I heard
He said that when the teacher was my age, his cultivation level was only on par with mine. Even when Master Junshan was my age, his cultivation level improved very quickly. Aren't they afraid that his foundation will be unstable?"
Yang Tianfang smiled when he heard this and said: "I don't know much about your teacher's early years, but I can tell you about Xiaoshan, maybe you will understand."
Feng Yuankun was overjoyed when he heard what happened in Master Junshan's early years. Now Master Junshan is almost the idol of the young monks in Mengyu County and Huyao County. Feng Yuankun was very interested in his experiences when he was young.
"Before I talk about Xiaoshan, let me ask you something. Have you ever experienced a life-and-death fight since you started practicing?"
"Of course!" Feng Yuankun said quite proudly: "This disciple once followed the monks of the Yang family to participate in the battle to strangle the demon cultivators in Quwu Mountain. He also killed two demonic beasts and had the experience of encountering and fighting spirit demons."
Yang Tianfang was unconvinced when he heard this. Feng Yuankun's experience was considered to be a bit of experience among monks of the same level, but it was obvious that this kind of experience was completed under the deliberate protection of Master Zhou Yi. It was hard to say how much he would gain.
"Xiaoshan, when he was in the turbid Qi realm, he had already voluntarily participated in the battle for the border between the three counties. It was a fierce battle that could lead to death at any time..."
