He wanted to step into the courtyard, but unfortunately, there was an invisible barrier in front of him, making it difficult for him to move forward. It was as if the courtyard and the street were separated into two worlds.
This barrier is made of pseudo-characters of Dao patterns. Even ordinary natural selection, let alone Nascent Soul, cannot break through it.
In fact, with Zhao Chu's strength, it is not difficult to break through this barrier.
But today he is not alone.
In the courtyard, there were Ma Qingjie, Lu Chuxue and Chao Hongqian.
In the event of a quarrel, Zhao Chu could wave his sleeves and not take away a single cloud.
But Qingjiemen can't.
His senior brothers still have to survive in the Dragon Court of the First Emperor, so he cannot act willfully.
Even if you have to endure a little grievance, you must personally take out this divorce letter in a reasonable way. For the Qingjie Sect, a little grievance... is worth it...
As long as Zhao Chu is allowed to say one word in Prince Xilong's palace, his first sentence will be to regret the marriage.
In this way, everyone is happy.
pity.
The aloof Prince Xilong's Mansion seemed to disdain Zhao Chu at all.
He was like a pickle, deliberately left hanging at the door.
Zhao Chu could only smile bitterly.
He understands the tricks of Prince Xilong's Mansion.
It's just a show of force.
In order for the Qingjie Sect to be clean in the future, Zhao Chu chose to endure patiently.
The ups and downs in life should be regarded as a spiritual practice.
…
An hour passed.
The courtyard was bustling with people. They were all major forces visiting the princess to discuss some major territorial matters. False allegiance, false flattery, prosperity and harmony. This was the case in the upper world all over the world. There were faces under the masks.
, never tired.
As for the three people from the Qingjie Sect, they wanted to stand up and talk to the princess countless times. After all, it was not a problem for Zhao Chu to be isolated outside the door.
But helpless.
The princess didn't seem to know Ma Qingjie at all. Before the latter could finish speaking, he was blocked by Qingluo.
As for Zhao Chu.
He remained motionless, just as silent as an hour ago, at the door.
His expression was as usual, without any hint of impatience or shame.
Just like a student studying, he is sincere.
But Zhao Chu's lonely figure fell in Ma Qingjie's eyes, making him feel heartbroken.
All this is because Qingjie Sect is too weak.
If he was in the Cave Void Realm and the Qingjie Sect was a first-rate force, who would dare to underestimate him? How could Zhao Chu be treated like this?
…
"The person who came here is not a good person!"
During this hour, Ke Qingshang was also secretly observing Zhao Chu.
strength.
It is indeed the Nascent Soul Realm, so weak.
But Zhao Chu's performance made Ke Qingshang frown a little.
Being thrown at the gate, in full view of everyone, and left to dry for so long, if it were an ordinary young man, there would only be two endings.
The first one is filled with righteous indignation, regardless of the consequences, and holds a banquet at Prince Xilong's house.
If this is the case, the Qingjie Sect will have something to fall into the hands of Prince Xilong's Palace. Such a reckless thing will not require the Prince's Palace to regret the marriage, and the public opinion will completely crush the Qingjie Sect.
The second type is those who are arrogant and arrogant. This kind of people are thin-skinned. They feel ashamed and are completely shocked by the aura of Prince Xilong's house.
He probably couldn't stand the humiliation and felt that he was not worthy of Xi Youyan, so he left on his own. This kind of outcome would mean that Prince Xilong's palace would not need to waste words.
And it was beyond everyone's expectation.
This young man, who is just in his early 20s, chose a method that no one could have imagined.
It was like he was wearing a pair of armor made of ice, indifferently filtering out all the ridicule from the outside world.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
But Ke Qingshang has been in charge of the Prince's Mansion for many years, and his eyes are so sophisticated.
But based on her experience, she couldn't read any emotion from Zhao Chu's eyes.
"Let's not talk about strength. This person is not good. He is the kind of person who will stop at nothing for the sake of strength."
Ke Qingshang frowned and made a judgment in her heart.
…
"Junior brother, it's hard."
"Fortunately, this prince-in-law is not me. If it were me, I would have rushed in and asked for some explanation."
Chao Hongqian glanced at Zhao Chu with lingering fear.
"In that case, this engagement will be annulled by your recklessness."
"Not only that, you also offended the First Emperor Longting on behalf of the Qingjie Sect. My junior brother's character is very good, I admire you."
Lu Chuxue shook her head and said.
The Qingjie Sect's thinking was too simple. They never thought that Prince Xilong's Mansion simply left a dead end.
…
"It turns out that this is the so-called Seven Paths Test, which is just the solution to the seven chapters of spiritual cultivation."
Zhao Chu was bored at the door, also using the power of his spiritual mind to sense everything inside.
Not far from the door, there are seven stone tablets.
Each of these seven stone tablets has a commentary on the Taoism.
It's complicated and boring.
Just like when Zhao Chu took the college entrance examination in his previous life, he only gave you a paragraph of Taoism and asked you to write an annotation, which is to write a composition freely.
This is actually a test of a monk's ability to understand, that is, his understanding.
The so-called master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
Only monks who can draw inferences from one instance and think clearly will be able to think quickly and understand everything clearly. Of course, their future achievements will be even more prominent.
These seven stone tablets are the seven tests of Prince Xilong's Mansion.
If you don't have the fifth level of spiritual consciousness, you won't even be able to see the content in the stone tablet.
The Prince's Mansion is also very particular about the way to answer questions.
In an inconspicuous place, there are many weapons and ornaments, which are usually found in the courtyards of wealthy families.
Among them, there is a sword-handling platform.
On the sword stand, there are seven decorative stone swords.
If you want to control these seven swords, it is a bit difficult for the fifth level of Shen Nian. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it.
But just like that, the test is not over at all.
The answer to the test question, that is, your essay, must be written on the huge stone bell in the east direction.
This time Zhao Chu was able to confirm.
To control the seven decorative stone swords and carve words on the stone clock, you will definitely need the power of fourth-level divine will.
Fifth grade, you don’t even have to think about it.
Seven-sided stone tablet.
Seven-handled stone sword.
A stone bell.
This was originally a set of magic weapons.
Zhao Chu sighed in his heart, it was worthy of being the Prince's Mansion in the Cave Realm, this set of magic weapons was of great value.
In fact, the harsh test had already begun when he appeared at the gate of Prince Xilong's mansion.
"From this point of view, it is simply impossible to marry Xi Youyan."
In this hour, Zhao Chu already had annotations on the Taoist questions on the seven-sided stone tablets, and he had a clear understanding of them.
After all, Hong Duanya has been guiding him for so long and has become a doctor after a long illness. No matter how dull his qualifications are, he should learn to draw inferences from one instance to another. Besides, Zhao Chu is not stupid.
But Zhao Chu had no plans to annotate the stone bell.
He studied the seven questions purely because... he was bored.
"After all the trivial matters have been solved, it's my turn."
Throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhao Chu felt as calm as water.
…
Above the attic in the distance.
Xi Youyan stared at Zhao Chu motionlessly for an hour.
A person from the Nascent Soul Realm who comes from a second-rate small sect also attempts to marry me. It is simply the most ridiculous farce in the world.
She is Xi Youyan, the destined sweetheart, the golden branch and jade leaf, the weakest suitor, a member of Huang Yun Tower, and the genius of our generation.
But of all the people she liked, she failed to fall in love with one.
Xi Youyan is too strong.
Therefore, his situation is also a bit embarrassing.
She can see the ascended ones, but it's a pity that those people's eyes are so high that they can't see her status.
Underneath the ascended ones are the building owners of Huangyun Tower.
She can also accept it, and is even willing to accept it.
But helpless.
The owners of Huangyun Tower seemed to be overwhelmed by the Ascended Ones, but secretly they were even prouder than the Ascended Ones.
The land is vast and the sea is vast, and there are many talented women who are more talented than her Xi Youyan, and more beautiful than her Xi Youyan.
She wanted to marry the landlord of Huangyun Tower, but it was difficult.
Secondly.
They are the deputy owners of Huangyun Tower.
Yes, there are many people among the deputy landlords who are pursuing her.
But she was a little unwilling to do so.
Xi Youyan knew that she could not make the decision on her own marriage.
But she has one wish.
At least the man you want to marry must be stronger than you.
This is the bottom line.
"Junior Sister Xi, you don't need to worry about this scoundrel. If the Qingjie Sect is really aggressive, I will implore Master to come to Prince Xilong's house to propose marriage in person."
"As the deputy sect master of Danqing Pure Land, I believe Prince Xilong will give him face."
"It's just that I don't know, junior sister, if you have me in your heart?"
At this moment, a pale-faced young man quietly appeared behind Xi Youyan.
Mo Yiji's pupils kept wandering over Xi Youyan's exquisite body, and his eyes became more and more fiery, like a hungry wolf that wanted to swallow Xi Youyan.
One of the deputy owners of Huangyun Tower and the younger brother of the owner Dong Pingli.
His strength is good, and his alchemy talent is top-notch.
If this guy wasn't naturally romantic, flirting with women and overindulging in sex, he would actually be a perfect match for Xi Youyan.
But it's a pity.
If Xi Youyan is so proud and arrogant, how can she allow her husband to go around and mess around with women?
Therefore, she has always kept a distance from Mo Yiji.
Xi Youyan also knew that Mo Yiji didn't care about the power of Prince Xilong's palace at all, he just coveted his beauty.
"I will handle my engagement myself, so you don't need to worry."
"Mo Yiji, you came to Prince Xilong's Mansion this time because a group of disciples in Prince Xilong's Mansion are about to make a natural selection. They paid you Danqingjingdi to refine the Heavenly Selection Pill. It has nothing to do with me."
"I hope you can respect yourself."
Snap!
Xi Youyan flipped away the hand that had quietly been placed on her shoulder, with a look of anger on her pretty face.
"Junior Sister Xi, if that Nascent Soul boy keeps threatening you with a marriage contract, what can you do?"
"Prince Xilong cannot afford to lose the face of regretting his marriage. Daozhi disciples must also carry out your mother's will and abide by the marriage contract. The little tricks of your Prince Xilong's house are ultimately just tricks to scare children. If Qing Jiemen insists on
Once the engagement is fulfilled, you can't run away."
"Now that things have happened, the only one who has the ability to go back on all this is me, Danqing Jingdi. Please think clearly."
Mo Yiji felt bored, then smiled sinisterly.
Xi Youyan, what do you think you are?
If I hadn't asked senior brother Dong Pingli to recommend me, you would have been just an ordinary member of Huangyun Tower. If you hadn't had a good face, who would have looked at you more.
"I said, you don't have to worry about my affairs!"
Xi Youyan said coldly.
if.
It would be great if it was not Mo Yiji who came to propose marriage, but his senior brother Dongping Li.
Dongping Li is one of the building owners of Huangyun Tower. Unfortunately, such a peerless genius doesn't look down on him.
"You can't be a fool, right? Even if you are an ordinary genius, you should start to answer the question!"
Later, Xi Youyan saw that Zhao Chu was still in a daze at the door, and she wished she could kill this embarrassing thing with a sword.
Being associated with this kind of stuff in this life will be an eternal stain on Xi Youyan.
It's no surprise that Qing Jiemen, a fool, couldn't even get through the door.
If he were a normal genius, he would have already noticed the Taoist questions on the seven stone tablets at the door, but this person was indifferent and was as stupid and ridiculous as a stubborn stone.
Xi Youyan even resented her mother, whom she had never met.
Why should marriage be given to a poor place like Qingjie Sect instead of a transcendent power such as Danqing Pure Land or Wanluo Holy Land?
At the age of marriage, what woman does not imagine that her husband is an unparalleled strong man who can dominate the sky and the sea of stars in the gathering of geniuses?
Xi Youyan even imagined how great it would be if an ascended person pursued her.
Even if her relationship with the Ascended One didn't end, it would still be a great moment, and it would not be in vain for her to lose a young age.
What a pity.
Everything is fantasy.
Xi Youyan didn't even know how to survive the disaster in front of her.
…
It was left to dry for more than an hour.
Princess Xilong seemed to have finally remembered the Qing Jie Sect.
"Hey, Ma Qingjie, are you here too?"
"I wonder if you have any business coming to Prince Xilong's Mansion today?"
"Oh, are you talking about the fifth-turn Yin-Yang Tianzhi Pill last year? I have already told you that it is just a pill. I gave it to you. There is no need to return it."
Ma Qingjie saw that Ke Qingshang was finally willing to pay attention to him, and he quickly stepped forward.
But before Ma Qingjie could speak, Ke Qingshang's words fell quietly, and everyone heard them clearly.
No! Use it! Return it!
Three words, an understatement.
But it's like a dagger piercing your heart, reminding you bloody that your Qingjie Sect still owes me, Prince Xilong's Mansion.
As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell silent.
But Qingshang was so arrogant and mean, Ma Qingjie never thought of it.
He was caught off guard, his face turned red with embarrassment, his heart was churning, and his internal injuries were so angry that he swallowed a mouthful of blood in his throat.
At the beginning, Prince Xilong made it clear that this Nirvana Pill was given to him, and it was precisely because of this that Ma Qingjie did not come to pay back the money.
But in Ke Qingshang's words, he turned out to be a defaulter.
"Master, this... is my fault. Even if I sell my blood, I will return the money to them as soon as possible."
This elixir was taken by Chao Hongqian.
After hearing this, Chao Hongqian was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Lu Chuxue looked at her Qiankun Ring and saw that it was not enough to pay back the money at this moment.
"Ma Qingjie, if you ask me, you are too polite."
"Actually, I also guessed the reason why you came to Prince Xilong's residence today. I heard that your closed disciple is about to break through natural selection... Don't worry, since you came to ask for pills, we are not stingy and will give you another pill.
That’s it.”
The embarrassment of Ma Qingjie and others made Ke Qingshang smile contemptuously and said again without sadness or joy.
His humiliation had just begun.
"Princess, this..."
Hearing this, Ma Qingjie was speechless. He brought Zhao Chu here not to ask for elixirs, but also to make a marriage contract.
"It just so happens that Prince Xilong received permission from the deputy sect master Wang Zhaochu of Danqing Pure Land some time ago. Today, his beloved disciple Mo Yiji came to the prince's residence to refine elixirs."
"You are very lucky, and you really know how to choose auspicious days."
"Don't worry, I'll try to find you a six-turn Nirvana Yin-Yang Pill later."
But Qingshang's graceful expression seemed to have not even remembered the engagement.
She was trampling on the dignity of the Qingjie Sect with her understatement of charity.
The other person is a straw.
The reason why I haven't bent down yet is because I haven't stepped on the soles of my feet with the heaviest force yet.
It seems right.
Everyone knew that Xi Youyan had a marriage contract with Qingjiemen, but the Qingjiemen had never actually come up with this engagement.
But there is no slack in the etiquette of Qingshang.
"Princess, I..."
Seeing that Chao Hongqian was about to argue, Lu Chuxue quickly pulled him behind to prevent the situation from becoming tense.
And Ma Qingjie was patient again and tried to bring up the marriage contract.
"Hey, come as soon as you say."
"You are truly worthy of being the beloved disciple of a strong man in the Cave Void Realm. He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men. Ma Qingjie, if your Qingjie Sect wants to get ahead, you must cultivate a disciple with the talent of alchemy."
"Look at this Mo Yiji, the soil we stepped on along the way seems to be full of life."
"He is the young genius who came to practice the Nirvana Pill today. Speaking of which, Mo Yiji has also reached the age of marriage. It would be a good thing if Prince Xilong's Mansion can marry with Danqing Pure Land."
"Ma Qingjie, are you right?"
far away.
Mo Yiji was dressed in a green robe. Although his face was a bit pale, Ke Qingshang was right. No matter in appearance or demeanor, Mo Yiji was like a dragon or a phoenix among people.
There were many young prodigies present who had followed their elders to see the next world. In front of Mo Yiji, they did not dare to raise their heads at all. They felt ashamed.
Boom!
Mo Yiji has long been used to such big scenes that attract everyone's attention. He smiled calmly and looked confident.
Boom!
Boom!
At the same time, the center of the courtyard sank.
Everyone was shocked, and with a deafening sound, huge pill furnaces rose directly from the ground.
It turns out that this is a hidden open-air alchemy room.
…
When an alchemist makes elixirs, he needs to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, so some alchemy rooms are built in the open air without even walls.
For a true alchemy master, the place where there is an alchemy furnace is the alchemy room.
…
There are nine alchemy furnaces in total. The carved patterns on the walls of the furnace are like monsters, auspicious clouds, and the vast sea, including all living creatures. The vicissitudes of the sea are indescribably complex and mysterious.
Each of the nine alchemy furnaces is of the highest quality.
With the whole audience stunned, Mo Yiji walked to the center of the alchemy room and smiled confidently.
boom!
Then, raging fire shot up into the sky, and in the center of the alchemy furnace, Mo Yiji's hair flew wildly. After his expression became serious, he also had an indescribable charm.
He flicked his sleeves, and the four alchemy furnaces buzzed and trembled.
…
"Four, four furnaces should be set up!"
"Mo Yiji's alchemy attainments are already so extraordinary. How is this possible?"
In the distance, countless people exclaimed.
…
"Ma Qingjie, do you have the feeling that the waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead?"
"I'm jealous of Mo Yiji's talent. There are many reckless monks who fight and kill, but alchemy masters are rare talents."
"Prince Xilong's mansion needs such talents. Do you dare to imagine being in charge of the Four Furnaces at such a young age?"
"If Prince Xilong's Mansion and Danqing Pure Land get married, you will also get a lot of benefits based on the relationship between Qingjie Sect and the Prince's Mansion. In fact, the Prince will be very grateful to you."
Looking at the four pill furnaces burning in the distance, Ke Qingshang said calmly again.
There was contempt and appreciation in his words.
There are threats and inducements.
Contempt is contempt for the Holy Land of Green Tribulation, and contempt for the embarrassing laughingstock outside the gate.
Appreciation is the appreciation of the pure land of painting, and even more the appreciation of Mo Yiji.
As long as Ma Qingjie is not a fool, he can understand the meaning of Xi Youyan's words.
Lu Chuxue's palms made a crunching sound when they were pinched.
Bullying goes too far. This is simply bullying people too much.
The Qing Jie Sect was mentally prepared. They knew that this engagement would be difficult to fulfill.
But who could have imagined that the hardships Zhao Chu faced would be dozens of times more severe than imagined.
…
"If you want to break off the engagement, why are you looking for so many tricks?"
outside the door.
But Zhao Chu saw all the scenes of Qingshang humiliating Ma Qingjie.
And his pupils gradually turned cold.
The clay figurine still has a certain amount of anger.
Besides, Zhao Chu's temper has never been very good.
