Chapter two hundred and seventy seventh double pride
What do you want to participate in? Xuantian asked in surprise.
Yes, my cultivation level is the same as that of Zhan Chen, and the elder assessment held today does not limit the participants, so I should also have the opportunity to participate. Zhou Ziru replied calmly.
After hearing what he said, Xuan Tian's face became even more ugly. The rules were in chaos, and he knew that with Xuan Haoran's words, the elder selection system that had maintained Xuan Dao Sect for thousands of years would be changed.
At this time, Xuan Haoran said from the side: Junior Brother Tianzeng, since Zhou Ziru wants to participate in the assessment, let him try
Well, your sect master has already spoken, what else can I do? Xuantian Zeng's words sounded like a broken can.
At this time, Zhan Chen had retreated to the audience. Su Yun immediately came forward and said with concern: Zhan Chen, it was so dangerous just now. I have been nervous for you for a long time.
Zhan Chen looked at her and smiled and said: Yun'er, look at me, I've come back safely, and I've also won a victory.
Well, that's good. We'll have a good celebration when we go back tonight.
At this time, Xuantian Zeng's voice came again from the center of the viewing platform: Kong Mengda, come on, duel with Zhou Ziru.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but look at the elegant and calm Zhou Ziru standing in Taichung, and murmured: It's really not simple who Zhou Ziru is.
Su Yun heard this and said: I just heard that Zhou Ziru is now the leader of the younger generation among the elite disciples in the sect. Also, he is the same age as you.
Oh Zhanchen looked at her in surprise and asked: He is the same age as me
Well, yes, you said it was a coincidence or not
Zhan Chen couldn't help but fell silent. Along the way, he had gone through a lot of hardships and had many adventures to achieve what he has achieved today. It can be said that before meeting Zhou Ziru, he had never met anyone before.
A person like himself could cultivate to the realm of Emperor Wu at such a young age. Unexpectedly, today, he would meet a genius here who could rival himself.
At this time, the game had already begun. Standing opposite Zhou Ziru was a burly and powerful middle-aged elder. The aura exuding from his body was more dangerous than that of Feng Tianming, whom Zhan Chen had just faced. Obviously, Xuantian had not been
I wish that the same thing as before would happen again, so I arranged an extremely powerful opponent for Zhou Ziru.
What's strange is that Zhou Ziru, who is standing opposite Elder Kong Mengda, is still calm and carefree. Zhan Chen can't find any nervous look on his face at all.
The two of them took out their swords and faced each other like this, sizing each other up. Seeing that he hadn't come forward for a long time, Kong Mengda finally couldn't help but speak: Zhou Ziru, why don't you take action yet? Are you asking me to wait for you?
Zhou Ziru actually made a sword salute to him politely and said with a smile: Elder Kong, this disciple is offended.
Stop talking nonsense, come on. Elder Kong is obviously a cheerful person, and he can't stand Zhou Ziru's sour attitude, so he couldn't help but curse.
Feining struck out with his sword. Just as Elder Kong finished speaking, Zhou Ziru's long sword suddenly came out of its sheath.
Everyone only saw a pale cold light flash by, and then a shocking scene happened. On the arm where Kong Mengda was holding the sword, a layer of white frost gradually spread, and finally wrapped his entire right arm and knotted it.
covered with thick ice.
Is this the power of heaven-level swordsmanship? Zhan Chen's pupils shrank suddenly. With that sword strike just now, he was able to capture the trajectory of Zhou Ziru's sword. If he wanted to avoid that sword strike, he had to do it in the shortest possible time.
After a short time to react, he thought that it would be difficult to do it if he didn't use the Eye of Tao. So, he took another deep look at Zhou Ziru, who was still looking elegant and smiling, and had a premonition that this person of the same age would be in the future.
Maybe he will be a strong competitor of his.
At this time, Kong Mengda was horrified to find that his entire arm had been frozen by the cold air, and he could not move at all. Although he was unwilling to admit the fact that he had failed, he had to sigh quietly and said: I failed.
Only then did the audience realize that the powerful Elder Kong had been defeated by Zhou Ziru with a sword, and they were in an uproar again. Some of the Ziru fans present even let out exaggerated screams and kept shouting Brother Zhou's death.
Name.
Zhou Ziru turned around and gave these women his gentle smile, which was extremely coquettish and coquettish.
At this time, the face of the old man Xuantian Zeng became more and more ugly, and he has not announced the result of the game for a long time. At this time, Xuan Haoran reminded him on the other side: Junior Brother Tianzeng, it’s time for you to announce the result.
I announced that Zhou Ziru had passed the examination. Xuantian had difficulty squeezing these words out of his mouth, and then he left everyone behind and walked away, leaving the few people sitting with him on the elders' table at a loss.
Cuo looked at each other.
Xuan Haoran looked at his retreating back, smiled secretly, shook his head, and murmured: Junior Brother, Junior Brother, you always obstruct the reform plans I propose. It’s time for you to change your temper. Times are changing, we Xuan Dao
Zong also wanted to make changes, but Chen and Chen Xiangyin would only hesitate to move forward.
Xuantian Zeng's sudden departure made the assessment ceremony seem incomplete. Xuan Haoran had to walk to the center of the viewing platform again and said to everyone: Everyone, today is a happy day. As the leader of the sect, I am honored to be able to witness our sect with my own eyes.
I am proud of the birth of two new young elders, and I am still
What I want to announce to everyone is that this kind of examination is just the beginning and an experiment. In the future, we will further liberalize the sect elder assessment system. We will no longer promote elders based only on seniority and cultivation, but will open to all elite disciples.
Everyone, please work hard. Maybe in the near future, you will also stand on this viewing platform.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was endless applause and cheers on the field. Many people who had stayed in the elite disciple stage for a long time were eager to try.
After passing this assessment, the names of Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were also known throughout the Xuan Dao Sect. They were equally young and equally outstanding in strength. They were hailed as the two prides of the Xuan Dao Sect by the people in the sect.
Let’s say that Zhan Chen passed the elder examination and was summoned again by Xuan Haoran. After the two of them saluted, Xuan Haoran asked: Zhan Chen, do you have any special skills, such as elixir refining or weapon refining?
Zhan Chen thought for a moment and replied: This is for the sake of the sect leader. I am good at refining elixirs.
Oh, that's great. Xuan Haoran was overjoyed. Alchemy talents are in hot demand no matter which sect they go to. So he quickly said: Or I can write a letter of recommendation, and you can go to Nanhua Peak to perform your duties at Mr. Chu Danqing's place.
Zhan Chen was at his mercy.
Okay, it's decided, you can go to the Presbytery tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Zhan Chen came to the Elder's House, and the elders there gave him an identity jade plaque and a Qiankun bag. When he opened the Qiankun bag, he immediately saw this month's salary: five high-grade yuan stones.
Ten thousand pieces, ten bottles of Kunyun Dan, a fifth-grade top-level elixir used to assist cultivation, is just enough for one month.
After putting these things away, another on-duty disciple came forward and took him to the top of Nanhua Peak. It was a beautiful place surrounded by spiritual mist, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and where you could hear the chirping of birds and beasts.
.
The on-duty disciple took him directly to the place where the elder lived, and he saw several elegant courtyards surrounded by mountains and rivers. The on-duty disciple introduced him to several free ones in turn. Finally, Zhan Chen chose
I found a courtyard next to a stream, thinking that Su Yun would definitely like the mountains and water here.
The disciple who was on duty also told him many things. For example, after becoming an elder, you can accept disciples from the inner sect. An ordinary elder can accept up to ten disciples. These apprentices can be responsible for taking care of the elder's daily life, serving as slaves for the elder, etc.;
Of course, you can also not accept apprentices, and just ask the sect to assign you a few on-duty disciples every month to take care of the courtyard and other chores.
After hearing this, Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was not the kind of person who was used to being taken care of, nor was he the kind of person who liked to accept disciples to show off. In his opinion, accepting disciples would only waste his training time.
As for the courtyard, leave it to Su Yun. After all, she likes to play with flowers and plants or do housework after practicing. If a few people are required to do all these things, she won't be happy.
After calling away the on-duty disciple who was acting as a guide, Zhan Chen rushed to Yingke Peak and brought Su Yun back. Sure enough, when Su Yun saw this beautiful courtyard, her eyes immediately shone with joy.
, immediately started taking care of it up and down.
Zhan Chen looked at her figure shuttled among the flowers and rockeries like a bird, and couldn't help but smile: How about my wife, are you quite satisfied with this place?
Well, Zhan Chen, you are so great, I am so proud to have a man like you, Su Yun said happily.
By the way, have you finished joining Xuan Dao Sect?
It’s done. According to my cultivation level, I can only become an inner disciple first.
Yun'er, it doesn't matter, as long as your husband is here, I can guarantee that in a few years, I will be able to make you an elite disciple. Zhan Chen said with full confidence that he would refine the Nine Turns Golden Pill and help Su Yun break through.
Su Yun rolled her eyes at him and said, "You think I'm just like you, a cultivator? Besides, you're all dedicated to making breakthroughs in my cultivation. What about you?"
It doesn't matter to me, my cultivation speed will not slow down. Zhan Chen immediately lost his confidence.
Su Yun smiled slightly and said: Husband, I know you are good to me, but do you know that I don’t want to be a burden to you? If this is the case, it would be better not to be with you in the first place.
Zhan Chen was speechless after listening to her words, with mixed feelings in his heart. He understood that Su Yun was making sacrifices to be with him. Yes, Su Yun was right. If he wanted to be distracted from helping Su Yun improve
Cultivation will definitely consume a lot of your time and energy, and it will inevitably affect your progress in becoming stronger.
Okay, now I can be regarded as an inner disciple of Xuan Dao Sect. I can also practice. Besides, with such a good cultivation environment, I am at least much better than Lan Feng Sect, right? But we can agree, if
If you have time, you still have to help me and give me some advice.
After listening to her half-joking words, Zhan Chen finally smiled and said: Yun'er, it's great to have you.
After the two of them settled down, Zhan Chen thought that he should go to see his immediate boss Chu Danqing immediately, because starting from tomorrow he would work under the great elder. If he did not leave a good impression on this giant Buddha, then the other party would
As long as I give you some small shoes to wear, you won't be able to walk around without food.
So, he left home again and went straight to the Ziyan Hall where Chu Danqing was. As he walked, he was still wondering what kind of person this great elder was.
