Even after Ah Qi passed the trial of the Mechanical Guard and entered the forbidden land, there was still an endless stream of people coming to challenge the first level.
The monster that appeared not long ago did not cause much trouble, and the warriors who came from all over the world were still challenging the military guards one after another.
As for whether the next challenger who passes the trial will be qualified to obtain the Thousand Blades of the Demonic Sword...
On the one hand, many people think that it is impossible for Ah Qi to get the Thousand Blades of the Demonic Sword, but on the other hand, just the level of Gibei is too difficult for many people, and it will be difficult to see it in a year or two.
One that can pass.
Therefore, even if Aqi entered the forbidden place, the challenge of the machine soldiers never stopped.
When Ah Qi came out, there was naturally someone to receive him. This was also Lu Jiu's instruction.
"This is what your brother gave you."
Duan Bing's men glanced at the magic sword Thousand Blades on Ah Qi's waist, a look of horror flashed in their eyes, and respectfully handed the scabbard to Ah Qi.
Ah Qi paused after hearing this and took it over.
The scabbard is completely black and made of special material. There is a white "Qi" engraved on the end near the handle.
Ah Qi nodded, inserted the magic sword Thousand Blades into the scabbard, tied it around his waist, and left here.
His departure did not cause any disturbance, but the news that the magic sword Thousand Blades had been taken away spread.
This caused an uproar among the warriors of the Shen Forging Kingdom.
Some people are sad, some are just lemons, some are full of praise, and some are indifferent.
However, this has not had any impact on the business of the scenic spot.
The Thousand Blades of the Demon Sword is gone, can't we put a better weapon in it?
Anyway, this group of novice warriors can't even defeat the machine soldiers.
Therefore, although the business of the scenic spot has declined, it has not had much impact.
…
Ah Qi rode a bird back to the Xuanwu Kingdom. When passing through a small town not far to the north of Dadong City, she was stopped by a person from Qinglong Pavilion.
It was said that their pavilion master Lu Jiu wanted to see him for something.
Ah Qi frowned slightly, but still agreed.
The person in charge of Qinglong Pavilion in the small town wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If he hadn't just brought out the title of Pavilion Master Lu just in time, he might have died.
Lu Jiu also received the news and quickly came to find Ah Qi.
"Brother, do me a favor!"
Lu Jiu went straight to the topic as soon as they met, and didn't mince words at all.
Ah Qi was a little confused after hearing this.
He didn't care that Lu Jiu called him "brother" and asked in a puzzled tone: "What are you busy with?"
Lu Jiu told him about Qingzhu and asked Aqi to help take care of it, of course, on the premise of ensuring his own safety.
Aqi frowned slightly when he heard this and nodded: "I understand."
Lu Jiu also nodded slightly and looked at him seriously: "I may not come out of seclusion for a long time. You have to protect yourself."
"After I come out of confinement, I will definitely reveal all the truth."
Lu Jiu's tone was solemn.
Originally, he planned to hunt monsters to increase his strength after meeting Ah Qi, but unexpectedly he found a treasure like mysterious blood.
It is true that it can quickly enhance Lu Jiu's strength, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Lu Jiu will not be able to care about external affairs for a long time in the future.
What Lu Jiu worried about the most was his younger brother Aqi.
Seeing him nodding, Lu Jiu wanted to say something, but hesitated.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jiu patted his shoulder and said solemnly: "...Protect yourself!"
Ah Qi was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
After saying goodbye, Aqi left here.
Before retreating, Lu Jiu still has some things to explain.
He came to the Black and White Escort Bureau and found Miao Xiaowen and others.
Lu Jiu thought for a long time and decided to tell them the news about Qingzhu.
This retreat will take a long time. During this period, it is impossible for Miao Xiaowen and Wang Dapao to wait anxiously.
But out of consideration for his own plan, Lu Jiu could only comfort them.
"Don't worry, Qingzhu will be fine. I will definitely find her after I get out of seclusion."
Lu Jiu smiled at Miao Xiaowen and said.
Miao Xiaowen and Wang Dapao were still very worried after hearing this.
Qingzhu has been with them for three years.
Although Qingzhu has not been with them much in the past three years, she has become an indispensable member in the hearts of Miao Xiaowen and Wang Dapao.
But they also understand that trying to find Qingzhu with the strength of the two of them is obviously a fool's errand.
The best way is to wait for Lu Jiu to come out of confinement.
Miao Xiaowen sighed and looked at Lu Jiu with a complicated expression: "Lu Jiu, if it doesn't work out, just give up looking for Qingzhu. This is also her own choice. There is no need to let you take risks anymore..."
Wang Dapao, who was on the side, also had a solemn expression and said in a serious tone: "Xiaowen is right, Qingzhu has left, and I don't want you to leave us again."
They didn't know about the grudge between Lu Jiu and the leader of the Shadow Assassins.
Naturally, it was thought that Lu Jiu wanted to start a war with the Shadow Assassin Organization just because of the previous sneak attack by the Shadow Assassin Organization and the disappearance of Qingzhu.
When Lu Jiu heard what they said, her heart warmed slightly.
He smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the war with the Shadow Assassin Organization is not just about the grudge between Qingzhu and the previous one. I need to settle many accounts with the Shadow Assassin..."
To be honest, if this situation hadn't happened, Lu Jiu might have become a hands-off shopkeeper like Nie Qinglong, found an apprentice to take over, and then retired to Xiaoji Island to enjoy life.
But the relationship between Lu Jiu and the leader of the Shadow Assassins has become tense.
Since the leader of the Shadow Assassins felt that Lu Jiu was under his control, why should Lu Jiu give him a "surprise"?
Miao Xiaowen and Wang Dapao heard this and stopped trying to dissuade him.
Lu Jiu is no longer the thin young man who needed their protection.
He is the master of Qinglong Pavilion, the best swordsman in the world, and the martial arts master of Xuanwu Kingdom!
After leaving the Black and White Escort Bureau, Lu Jiu returned to Qinglong Pavilion.
Passing by the renovated martial arts arena of Qinglong Pavilion, Lu Jiu suddenly became interested when he saw a group of disciples practicing basic martial arts seriously.
He had the idea of recruiting a disciple a long time ago.
But Lu Jiu has always been very busy, so it is naturally impossible for him to run out and wander around looking for a suitable candidate like Nie Qinglong.
Therefore, Lu Jiu has also carefully observed the new Qinglong Pavilion disciples these days.
Unfortunately, none of them satisfied him.
Those who enter the Xuanwu Kingdom are all talented people with martial arts skills, and the disciples who can be selected by Qinglong Pavilion are even more talented, but none of them is what Lu Jiu likes.
Lu Jiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I just want to find a disciple who is half as talented as me. Why is it so difficult?
Obviously, his requirements are very high, very high!
Lu Jiu finally knew why Nie Qinglong accepted him as his disciple and had a smile on his face all day long.
Because he has found a genius like him who is rare in thousands of years! It’s strange to be unhappy!
However, today, Lu Jiu saw a child who interested him among the disciples in the martial arts field.
Lu Jiu became the master of Qinglong Pavilion, but Professor Li was still the same Professor Li.
Seeing Lu Jiu coming over, Li Jiaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly greeted him with a smile, saluting respectfully: "Pavilion Master Lu!"
Lu Jiu waved his hand. His interest was not in Professor Li.
When the disciples who were practicing martial arts saw Lu Jiu, they all looked excited.
As disciples of Qinglong Pavilion, even if they are new to it, they have naturally heard about Lu Jiu's deeds.
Seeing the interest on Lu Jiu's face, everyone was very excited and greeted Lu Jiu respectfully.
"No need to be polite, just keep practicing."
Lu Jiu waved his hand and said with a smile.
The disciples nodded seriously when they heard this, and each of them tried their best to express themselves, hoping that they would be favored by the Pavilion Master and accepted as a disciple.
However, Lu Jiu's attention was not on the disciples in front of him.
But it was a young boy in the back who was thin and frail and whose every move looked a little immature.
Lu Jiu looked at him with interest.
Being able to enter Qinglong Pavilion shows that his talent is not bad.
However, the movements of this move seemed too clumsy, and could not even reach the average level of this group of disciples.
But his expression was extremely serious, he was concentrating on his practice, and he didn't even realize Lu Jiu's arrival.
Teacher Li on the side carefully looked at Lu Jiu and found that he seemed to be somewhat interested in the young boy.
"Pavilion Master Lu, you seem to be a little interested in that child?"
Professor Li asked tentatively.
Lu Jiu's intentions made him a little unpredictable, and Li Jiaoxi had also heard about his intention to recruit disciples.
But Lu Jiu just stared at the worst one among this group of disciples, which made Professor Li a little confused.
Lu Jiu nodded after hearing this.
He was indeed somewhat interested in this young boy.
The requirements for entering Qinglong Pavilion are very strict, but looking at this young man, he seems to have limited talent.
This couldn't help but make Lu Jiu a little curious.
Waste material flow?
When Li Jiaoxi saw this, he paused and said, "The young man's name is Tan Lun... He is the one with the least talent among the disciples of this generation... All the requirements were met before he entered my Qinglong Pavilion.
"
"If Pavilion Master Lu wants to recruit a disciple, this young man is probably... not qualified enough."
Professor Li hesitated for a moment before saying the last sentence.
Lu Jiu glanced at him after hearing this.
You know shit!
I don’t know that thirty years are in Hedong and thirty years are in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty?
Every waste material is a potential stock, right?
Do you think everyone is as talented as me?
Lu Jiu waved his hand, not wanting to pay attention to him: "You don't have to worry about it, I'll just take a look."
After that, Lu Jiu walked slowly to the young man named Tan Lun.
Although Tan Lun's moves are clumsy and have many shortcomings, they are very serious.
He didn't react until Lu Jiudu arrived in front of him again.
Seeing Lu Jiu looking at him, Tan Lun was stunned. Only then did he realize the person in front of him. He looked slightly panicked and saluted: "I've met the Pavilion Master!"
Lu Jiu smiled when he saw this: "Your name is Tan Lun?"
Tan Lun nodded seriously when he heard this: "Yes, Pavilion Master."
Lu Jiu looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to learn powerful skills?"
After Lu Jiu finished speaking, before Tan Lun could answer, the disciples around him started to explode, each one of them talking in a low voice.
"The master of the pavilion actually wants to teach the skills to that good-for-nothing Tan Lun?"
"If you haven't even mastered the basics of Tan Lun, what qualifications do you have to learn high-end exercises?"
"That's right, you might as well teach me!"
A group of disciples looked at Tan Lun like a lemon, with envy and jealousy in their voices.
