When Shang Xun returned to the sect, he originally wanted to go to Lingjiu Peak to ask Yan Jue for help as soon as possible, but his disciple said that Yan Jue was in seclusion, so he could only wait until he came out of seclusion.
"Is the sect master still in retreat?" Shang Xun asked his disciple Luo Dong.
"Yes. However, Senior Brother Zhang from Lanshan Academy said that the sect master will be out of seclusion as early as half a month or as late as a month." Luo Dong replied.
"The sect master will notify me immediately after he leaves the seclusion." Shang Xundao, after speaking, remembered Tong Yan, and said: "Go ahead and tell me, if a female qi training disciple comes to the door with my token, let it in directly and take it to Luohua Hall
.”
Luo Dong took the order: "It's the young sect master."
It took Tong Yan another five days to complete all the tasks before returning to the sect. He handed in the tasks, received the sect points, and then slowly walked to his residence.
On the road, he saw a familiar figure among the people on the other side from a distance. Tong Yan didn't want to meet the proud Tang Wuchuan, so he deliberately turned his face sideways and pretended not to see him, planning to walk through this section of the road quickly.
But when Tang Wuchuan caught a glimpse of her, he snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Why, after not seeing each other for a few days, you don't even know how to be polite when meeting your senior brother."
Tong Yan had a smile on his face and thought to himself, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Tang. Junior Sister's eyesight is not very good. I hope Senior Brother can forgive me."
Tang Wuchuan scolded, "Excuse me? Master attaches great importance to these etiquettes. If you can't even greet such a simple greeting, what qualifications do you have to be Master's disciple?"
It’s none of your business who Yan Jue Zhenjun accepts as his disciple. You are not one of his disciples...disciple?
Tong Yan suddenly realized that Tang Wuchuan was so hostile to her. Could it be because Lord Yan Jue wanted to accept her as his disciple?
That's right, one more person means one more resource is taken away. With how much Tang Wuchuan cares about his master, he might feel that her arrival has diverted Zhenjun Yan Jue's attention.
Tong Yan smiled slightly and said: "Senior Brother Tang, it is the True Lord who has the final say on whether I am qualified or not. If you have any questions, you can ask the Master directly."
Tang Wuchuan glared angrily, "Do you think I dare not!"
Tong Yan said unceremoniously: "No, senior brother is very brave."
The disciples following Tang Wuchuan looked at the two people arguing in confusion, and couldn't help but sigh that Tong Yan dared to confront Tang Wuchuan directly. You must know that Tang Wuchuan, as a direct disciple of Yan Jue, was the only one on Lingjiu Peak besides Yan Jue and others.
The person with the highest status besides his immediate senior brother.
None of the other disciples in the peak are eager to please him, even the other disciples in the sect will give in to him.
So the disciple who wanted to please Tang Wuchuan immediately opened fire on Tong Yan, "Which peak are you a new disciple from? How dare you be so rude to Senior Brother Tang!"
Tong Yan smiled and said, "I am also from Lingjiu Peak. Please tell me why I was so rude to Senior Brother Tang. I didn't even open my mouth to curse."
The disciple shouted again, "You still want to curse, and you are so disrespectful to your senior brother. It really brings shame to Lingjiu Peak."
Tong Yan felt extremely unhappy when someone said that. He turned to Tang Wuchuan and said, "Senior Brother Tang has a strong opinion of me."
Tang Wuchuan twitched his lips: "It's rare for you to be self-aware."
"Our cultivation levels are about the same. Demonic cultivators always speak hard, so how about a competition?" Tong Yan said.
Tang Wuchuan: "I am taller than you. If you lose, wouldn't it mean that I bully the small ones with my big one?"
"Condition, if you win, I will not worship the True Lord as my disciple after I build the foundation. If I win." Tong Yan glanced at the people following him and continued: "Please take good care of these senior brothers. I
I’m afraid they will come out and bite people at any time.”
Those disciples glared at Tong Yan, "What do you mean by biting? Are you calling us dogs?"
"Who do you think you are, that you dare to challenge Senior Brother Tang?"
Children's words are treated with coldness.
Tang Wuchuan thought carefully about the conditions she mentioned. It was undoubtedly the best to let Tong Yan give up his apprenticeship in this simple way, and the master did not necessarily value Tong Yan much.
He promised: "Okay, I promise you. I will fight you when."
"Now, right here." Tong Yan said.
The venue is of course not important, the Mosha Sect can be discussed on the spot anywhere.
Tang Wuchuan glanced at the onlookers, and the other disciples wisely made room for the fight.
Taking out the red blood whip, a handy magical weapon, Tang Wuchuan said confidently: "Then you can take it."
The next moment, a sharp whip struck Tong Yan unceremoniously.
Unexpectedly, Tang Wuchuan's attack was so fierce. Tong Yan was a step too slow to dodge and was instantly whipped on the shoulder.
The pain was still bearable, and Tong Yan immediately launched an attack. Using simple and sharp sword moves combined with light steps, he attacked the person on the opposite side extremely quickly.
The two of them were fighting back and forth, while the disciples of the Mosha Sect who were watching were watching and analyzing the battle.
"I heard that Senior Brother Tang's red-blooded whip might not be able to withstand even the monks in the early stages of foundation building if it were struck with all its strength. How could the junior sister be like a normal person after being hit by it?"
"Senior Brother Tang's whipping technique is very tricky and weird. I think the junior sister not only received a blow, but you can see that the sect's robe on the junior sister's body has several holes."
"Who do you think will win?"
"It must be Senior Brother Tang. He is a disciple of True Lord Yan Jue. He has countless magic weapons and talismans. The red blood whip alone is a top-grade magic weapon. How could he lose?" At this moment, Tang Wuchuan waved the red blood whip with great power.
"That makes sense."
"I think this junior sister is not weak either." Seeing Tong Yan dodging the blow in embarrassment, he then turned around and stabbed Tang Wuchuan in the face with a strange step, forcing him to retreat quickly.
"Although she seems to be extremely inexperienced in combat, her swordsmanship is very powerful and her moves are quite weird. Senior Brother Tang is a little confused in dealing with it."
"That makes sense."
Due to the continuous use of the Red Blood Whip, Tang Wuchuan's spiritual energy was depleted very quickly, while Tong Yan, who was two levels below him, seemed to still have plenty of spiritual energy, except for his uglier appearance.
Although Tang Wuchuan was very confused in his heart, he was not allowed to think too much on the battlefield. It would be very detrimental to him to continue delaying the battle. A quick victory!
He took out an oval-shaped magic weapon and threw it at Tong Yan. Seeing the shape, Tong Yan almost thought it was a bomb. He quickly raised his sword sideways and knocked it away with one blow.
The magic weapon was knocked back halfway, and was driven over by its owner. After approaching Tong Yan, it quickly split into seven small balls and surrounded her in the middle.
The ball was spinning faster and faster, and Tong Yan, who was surrounded by the middle, felt that his body was becoming more and more unable to move, while Tang Wuchuan on the opposite side was making secrets with his hands again.
Tong Yan gritted her teeth, used her body's strength, turned the sword over, and slashed hard in front of her. There was a harsh sound, the spherical magic weapons were scattered on the ground, and the magic sword in her hand was broken into two halves.
The magical weapon was destroyed, and Tang Wuchuan, who was in shock, took a few steps back to stabilize his body. Then when he raised his head, Tong Yan's iron fist hit him in the face, and he was beaten without even a chance to resist.
fell to the ground.
There was silence all around.
The monks fight naturally with spells, swords, and moves. They fight with their fists in turns, which is probably not the case even for physical practitioners.
However, their magic cultivators only care about winning or losing, not what method you use.
Tong Yan only stopped when he was tired and gasped, "Senior Brother Tang, I win."
Tang Wuchuan lay on the ground and groaned. He didn't hear Tong Yan's words. In addition to feeling pain on his face, he also lost face in front of many disciples.
"Tong Yan! I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing Tang Wuchuan's pig-headed face about to get violent, Tong Yan quickly stepped back and hid further, "Senior Brother Tang, we are just sparring normally. Remember what you promised me, all the senior brothers and sisters are watching, so you can't break your promise."
The disciples around you looked at me and I looked at you. Some even slipped away directly to witness the dark history of Senior Brother Tang being beaten into a pig's head. It would be better not to be discovered by him. If he wants to take revenge on this Junior Sister in the future, remember by the way.
It would be miserable if they were there.
Tong Yan saw the disciples watching looking at the sky and the earth, but no one spoke for her, and she didn't expect a bunch of strangers to speak for her, so she hurried away before Tang Wuchuan got up.
"Senior Brother Tang, Junior Sister, if you have anything else to do, please leave first. Bye!"
…
After the fight, Tong Yan hid in her room for a few days, recovering from her injuries while thinking about whether Tang Wuchuan would secretly retaliate against her, but no one came to settle accounts with her in the past few days.
It's okay.
Touching the red token, Tong Yan got up and went out, planning to find the new master she had just recognized.
…
She came to the foot of Luo Hua Peak and handed the token to the foundation-building monk guarding the gate. After the two recognized it as Shang Xun's personal token, they immediately sent a message to Luo Dong.
Luo Dong came very quickly. After getting off the flying magic weapon, he came over and asked, "Who took the token."
"Senior Brother Luo, that's the female disciple over here." A gatekeeper pointed at Tong Yan and said.
Luo Dong took a look and saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old with baby fat on her face. He walked over and asked, "But you came with a token."
Tong Yan nodded in response: "Yes."
Luo Dong said: "Come with me, I will take you up."
Tong Yan got on Luo Dong's flying magic weapon with a little anxiety and nervousness. Standing on it was very stable and she couldn't even feel a breath of wind. However, what was her master's name?
...I seem to have forgotten to askヽ(ー_ー)ノ
The flying magic weapon came to a stop outside Luo Hua Hall. Luo Dong waited for Tong Yan to go down, then collected the magic weapon and led people into the hall.
"You wait here for a moment, I will inform the young master." Luo Dong said to Tong Yan and left.
You wait here for a while, I'll buy you an orange...
No, isn't the point of this sentence to inform the young sect leader?
The young sect master, who has a father who is a god, a rich and handsome man in the golden elixir stage, the second in command of the Demonic Temple Sect, the future sect master!!
Although she guessed that the new master's status was extraordinary, it was too exciting to be the young master.
Tong Yan's heart went up and down for a while and then she calmed down again. Her feet were numb as she stood and no one had come yet. She was a little doubtful about the authenticity of what the foundation-building master uncle just said.
Suspicious, Tong Yan switched his left foot to his right and waited quietly in the main hall, looking at the furnishings here from top to bottom, left to right.
In summary, the low-key luxury has connotation, and the high-end atmosphere is classy.
All utensils are of extraordinary quality.
"But if you like something in the house, I can generously give you a few." A voice suddenly said from behind.
Tong Yan turned her head, and what caught her eye was Shang Xun, who was in red clothes and with black hair. She opened her mouth and called tentatively, "...Young Sect Master?"
Shang Xun paused, glanced at her lightly, then walked past her and sat down above her.
"Did you change your name to Young Sect Leader today?"
Because the identity gap is too big, but...
"Yes! Master!" Tong Yan shouted, he would be a fool if he didn't hug his thighs, he doesn't care what he does.
Shang Xun had the Nine Dragon Lock wrapped around his hand, and his eyes fell on Tong Yan, who looked a little silly, wondering if he should reconsider whether to accept such a disciple.
The dignified young master of the Demonic Temple Sect accepted a stupid apprentice, which sounds strange and will cost him his status.
Shang Xun thought for a while and said, "Master just asked you if you have something you like."
Tong Yan shook his head, "No."
"Is it possible that the things I have here are incomprehensible to you?"
Tong Yan whispered: "Master, you seem to be testing me. I don't know these things, so what's the use of coming..."
A violent shock immediately hit Tong Yan's forehead. Shang Xun took back the Nine Dragon Lock and gave her a cool look, "You dare to contradict me in person, just pretend that I can't hear you."
Tong Yan, who was touching his forehead, had an expression of knowing he was wrong, thinking that if it doesn't work in person, I can do it from behind, just a little bit.
Her careful thoughts could be seen through at a glance, but he was not interested in worrying about it. He continued: "In a few days, I will be practicing in seclusion for a period of time. The formal apprenticeship ceremony will be held after I come out of seclusion. Today you will become a disciple first.
, light the soul lamp, and I will ask Luo Dong to take you to handle other trivial matters."
Luo Dong prepared the spiritual tea and stood beside him. Tong Yan took a few steps closer, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and offered the spiritual tea.
"Disciple Tong Yan, pay homage to the master."
Shang Xun took it, took a sip, and threw a storage ring to her, "This is your apprenticeship ceremony."
The ring is small and exquisite, very suitable for female cultivators. Tong Yan took it with a grin, "Thank you, master, disciple."
Then Shang Xun lit a soul lamp for Tong Yan that only the elite disciples of the sect had. The so-called soul lamp means that when a person is alive, the lamp is there, and when a person dies, the lamp is extinguished. It allows the sect to know the life and death of these disciples most intuitively, and even
It will feed back the scene of the moment when the soul lamp owner died.
Shang Xun said to Tong Yan: "In five months, the secret realm of Yanhui will be opened. At that time, all monks below the Golden Core level in the world of cultivation can go to the trial. I want you to go too."
Tong Yan asked: "Are all the monks below the Golden Core level in the entire world of cultivation going back?"
"Of course not. When the Yanhui Secret Realm opens, another secret realm of the same level will open thousands of miles away, so only about half of the monks go to the Yanhui Secret Realm."
Tong Yan asked again: "Did Jianzong go to Yanhui Secret Realm or another one?"
"Why are you asking this? Is there someone you know in Jian Zong?" Shang Xun gave her a confused look.
Tong Yan thought of Su Mu who might have gone to Jianzong, and said, "It seems there is, but I'm not sure yet."
"In previous years, those who went to Yanhui Secret Realm, in addition to casual cultivators from the nearby Xiuzhen City, also included Baiyin Valley, Daotian Sect, Yunchan Temple and Sword Sect." Shang Xun didn't care about Tong Yan's private matters, and only went on to talk about the secret realm.
thing.
"Daotian Sect never lets go of any secret realm. Only half of the disciples will come to Yanhui Secret Realm, and the rest will be sent to another secret realm." Luo Dong added from behind.
"Luo Dong, prepare a map of Yan Hui's secret realm and give it to her." Shang Xun ordered.
"It's the Young Sect Master."
"The secret realm will be open for a month. I don't ask much, as long as you can come out alive."
"Master, there are so many people going to the secret realm, and there are countless foundation-building monks. It's already a very high requirement for my cultivation level to come out alive." Tong Yan said weakly, slashing at the foundation-building stage and Qi-training stage can
Hacking a large area to death would make her feel very insecure in the secret realm.
"How about, Master, please sponsor me some life-saving magic weapons?"
"If you die in there, I will never have such an apprentice." Shang Xun said this very coldly.
Does this mean there is no such thing?
After hearing this, Tong Yan's heart dropped, and she thought sadly with a slumped face. She was a novice in cultivation, and it would be easy for her to get kicked out of a slaughterhouse like the Secret Realm.
Shang Xun didn't look at Tong Yan, and he didn't feel at all how callous it was to refuse the new disciple's request. "You go back to your original residence to practice first, and wait for Yan Hui's secret realm to open. From now on, you are not allowed to come here to disturb me during my retreat."
After hearing this, Tong Yan thought for a while, how could becoming a master be the same as being a registered disciple of Lord Yan Jue? "Hey, Master, are you going to let me go?"
Shang Xun turned around and said in puzzlement: "Why is it free-range?"
"Before the secret realm is opened, I will make slow progress with my dull qualifications, and I may not be able to complete the tasks assigned by you, master." Tong Yan really wanted to say that a normal master should not bring his apprentice around, teach her carefully and then let her
Go to the secret realm.
Although she has practiced Qi at the seventh level, the actual practice time has been less than two months, and she still lacks a lot of knowledge.
Shang Xun felt that what she said made sense, so he thought about it and said, "Then find a place to stay at Luo Hua Peak and practice on the peak. If you don't understand anything about cultivation... just ask Luo Dong."
Tong Yan: "???Yes." Is this something a normal master would do?
