Feeling Hua Ruxue's resistance, the force exerted on her increased, and cracks suddenly appeared on the ground under her feet.
"Good disciple, please accept the jade pendant quickly." Ying Chufeng said with a smile, her voice gentle as if she was dealing with a naughty child. But every word she said exerted more pressure on Hua Ruxue.
It is not easy to maintain a standing posture under the pressure of the Mahayana period. The pressure is only on Hua Ruxue, so others do not know the pain Hua Ruxue has suffered.
Those who knew the situation did not dare to intervene, and those who dared to intervene were powerless. Elder Zhang Ze wanted to step forward to persuade, but was blocked by Elder Dao Feng.
"Being a disciple of the family master is her best choice. With her cultivation level, what can Bone Peak bring to her?" Elder Daofeng asked in a low voice.
Everyone thinks that Hua Ruxue should be worshiped by the head of the family. Even after weighing the pros and cons at the beginning, she thought so.
But this time, she wanted to follow her heart. She was unwilling to compromise, bow her head, or be manipulated like a chess piece.
The little fox who could only hide behind Su Yi without showing his tail, who could only passively accept all calculations, has disappeared.
Instead, there is Hua Ruxue, a person with joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
She hates Ying Chufeng and the undisguised calculation in her eyes. She should have the right to reject her!
After several struggles, the pressure was like two big mountains, pressing steadily on her shoulders, getting heavier and heavier.
Her waist was bent and her legs slowly bent, but she gritted her teeth and still refused to lower her head.
Until Ying Chufeng frowned and lost interest in pulling, she stood up and waved her long sleeves, and the pressure she exerted on Hua Ruxue suddenly turned into reality.
There were two "clicks" and the sound of broken bones sounded. Hua Ruxue's pupils shrank. The severe pain caused her teeth to shatter, and blood foam mixed with broken bones spurted out.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. Even Ying Chufeng was shocked for a moment, but she was shocked that her full blow could not make Hua Ruxue kneel down. She originally wanted to teach this ignorant girl a lesson and make her surrender, but she never thought of failing.
Just when Ying Chufeng was about to withdraw her pressure in annoyance, a sharp palm wind struck from behind her, and the seat behind her instantly turned into powder, and there was a "pop", even though she had a semi-immortal magic weapon to protect her, He was still seriously injured and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The moment Ying Chufeng was injured, the pressure exerted on Hua Ruxue immediately dissipated. Hua Ruxue felt her legs weaken and her body fell forward uncontrollably.
The moment her body touched the ground, a gentle force enveloped her and she flew into the shadows.
Everyone was shocked and looked towards the mist.
Between the interplay of light and shadow, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows, with darkness following closely behind him. He was like a savior chasing the light, and like an executioner bringing darkness.
His hair was as silver as the moonlight in the sky, but he was wearing clothes that blended perfectly with the night. His dark eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded an indescribable coldness. When the wind lifted his hair above his ear, he could see a strange black mole on the lobe of his left ear.
"Master...Master!" Zhang Ze saw the black mole on the man's earlobe and bowed hurriedly, not daring to look directly at his face again.
The person in front of him is the ancestor from Bone Peak who has not come out from seclusion for the New Year. He is also the only one among all the ancestors who still remains in the human world.
It was rumored that he had already completed his merits and could ascend, but he personally tore off his own thunder tribulation and forced himself to stay in the human world. To this day, there are only a handful of disciples in Sushang Valley who have seen his appearance.
Facing the ancestor who had torn apart the Thunder Tribulation with his bare hands, everyone, without exception, bowed their heads in fear.
"What's your name?" he asked, his cold gaze falling on Hua Ruxue, making people shudder.
Hua Ruxue looked at the person a foot away. She opened her mouth to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, countless blood spurted out.
The mask on her face shattered at some point, her beautiful face was horribly pale, and the bright red that kept flowing out of the corners of her mouth silently told her pain.
But these are not worth mentioning compared to the pain he endured when he sealed the remains of the demon beast and when he was bitten by the monster.
She swallowed the blood foam in her mouth and said word by word: "Flowers, like, snow."
Upon hearing this name, the cold aura around the ancestor paused for a moment, and a ripple appeared in his deep eyes.
His slightly cool fingertips gently touched Hua Ruxue's eyebrows, and the purple-red light flowed from his fingertips into her body, condensing into the shape of purple vetch in her soul sea, and the flowers fell on the wilting Ba Ku tree. On the top, it slowly merges with the giant tree.
As the light disappeared, Hua Ruxue's internal injuries healed instantly. The effect was so good that it was unbelievable, as if the harm she had suffered just now was all in her imagination.
She stepped on the solid ground with her feet and checked her body hesitantly. She didn't believe that anyone in Sushang Valley dared to act bravely under Ying Chufeng's eyes.
Immediately, she suddenly remembered that Ying Chufeng was also injured, so she quietly looked around, and at a glance she saw the injured Ying Chufeng who looked angry but dared not speak, while the others also lowered their heads respectfully and did not dare to say anything. Say something.
"Why don't you thank me, ancestor!" Zhang Ze reminded him in a low voice.
Ancestor? Thinking of the rumors that her ancestor was a ruthless man who could tear apart lightning tribulations with his bare hands, she was suddenly frightened and quickly saluted.
Seeing the fear on her face, the ancestor's face immediately darkened, as if someone owed him a million spiritual stones.
"Who are you worshiping?"
Hua Ruxue was stunned when she heard this, and heard a hint of something serious going wrong in his voice that sounded like he was chipping away at the ice. If he didn't answer this well, he might not be able to do well.
Things happened suddenly, and she thought about it with her rusty brain: The ancestor hit Ying Chufeng as soon as he came, indirectly saved her from the sea of suffering, and healed her injuries. All signs showed that the ancestor was not bad. He is a senior who knows right from wrong.
Wanting to understand this, Hua Ruxue straightened up, her expression focused, serious and sincere: "Thank you, Ancestor, for your help. This disciple wants to worship at the Bone Peak, so I beg Ancestor to take him in!"
After saying that, he bowed again.
The ancestor glanced at Hua Ruxue, whose expression was sincere and not fake, then looked at Jia Xiuyuan, who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, and finally glanced at the seriously injured Ying Chufeng and Ying Changfeng, who was slightly shrinking.
He did not respond to Hua Ruxue's question, but turned to Zhang Ze and asked, "Where is the spirit-detecting stone?"
Elder Zhang Ze was suddenly called upon by his ancestor who had been in seclusion for many years. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then answered honestly: "Back to my ancestor, the spiritual stone has been broken."
The spirit-detecting stone is broken. There is nothing unspeakable about this matter. If a divine-grade spiritual root can be detected, the spirit-detecting stone must have gone very peacefully.
"Broken?" The ancestor raised his hand to remove the spell on the field, and the broken remains of the spirit-detecting stone reappeared in front of everyone.
The ancestor's chilling gaze wandered back and forth on Hua Ruxue, Jia Xiuyuan, and Ying Chufeng, and finally settled on Hua Ruxue.
"This stone is worth thirty million spiritual stones, how do you want to compensate it?"
When Hua Ruxue lowered her head and heard the word "30 million", her eyes darkened and she almost stopped breathing.
Thirty million spiritual stones? Is she hallucinating?
This person is not here to save her, but to collect debts?
"Ancestor, Xiaoxue didn't mean it, and she didn't know she was..." Before Zhang Ze could finish his words to defend Hua Ruxue, he was interrupted by Ancestor's cold eyes, "You want to take her place?"
Thirty million, even if you dig out the entire bone peak, you can't come up with this amount. Elder Zhang Ze was weak and silently shut up, not daring to speak anymore.
The others still kept their heads bowed and did not dare to move rashly. They could only quietly cast a look at Hua Ruxue that said, "I can't help but I am asking for more blessings."
Sometimes, too much talent is not a good thing. You can tell just by looking at Hua Ruxue that she was "loved" by her superiors at such a young age and was in debt worth tens of millions of dollars.
The corners of Hua Ruxue's mouth twitched, and she felt inexplicably regretful about listening to the reincarnation stone and coming to Sushang Valley. But then she thought about it, there was no difference between owing thirty million spirit stones and selling oneself to Gufeng.
Although the journey was a bit winding and bumpy, fortunately, the goal of worshiping the Bone Peak was finally achieved.
She gritted her teeth and decided to take advantage of the situation and accept the 30 million yuan, treating it as money to buy her way to Gufeng.
Just when she was resolutely about to speak, her ancestor's cold voice came to mind again above her head.
"I still need an apprentice."
As soon as these words came out, Elder Zhang Ze's eyes lit up and he felt a sense of ecstasy. He gave a thumbs up to his ancestor and called me my ancestor, this is a powerful move!
For these 30 million spiritual stones, anyone who wants to rob someone has to weigh their own weight.
According to convention, elders who want to accept disciples must select disciples at the apprenticeship meeting instead of the entrance test, but this year's entrance test has undergone unexpected changes. Even the head of the family has used strong methods to recruit disciples, and no one dares to teach this ancestor who even beat the head of the family how to do things.
Not to mention that the ancestor wants to accept a disciple with full talent points, even if he wants to accept a disciple with five spiritual roots, who dares to say "no"?
While everyone was shocked, Ying Changfeng, who was supposed to be standing behind Ying Chufeng in an orderly manner, suddenly raised her head. She looked at Hua Ruxue with a complicated expression, with hope, happiness, and struggle in her eyes. In the past, the ancestor had been regarded as the last hope, but the ancestor refused to accept them as disciples, and never even came out of seclusion to see them. It is precisely because of this that the head of the family dares to be so presumptuous. But now, not only did the ancestor come out of seclusion, but he also took the girl as his disciple before the family master could. As his thoughts rolled around, all kinds of emotions finally turned into calmness.
Hua Ruxue suddenly raised her head and met the bottomless eyes of her ancestor. She could not feel any other emotions from her ancestor. She could only attribute his help to the fact that he was not bad and just lacked a talent. A gifted apprentice.
"Master, please bow to me as a disciple!" Hua Ruxue knelt down on her knees without any hesitation and bowed to the master.
The ancestor nodded slightly, and the chill that gathered around his body told of his satisfaction at the moment.
He casually took out a string of bracelets and handed them to Hua Ruxue. Hua Ruxue took them with both hands. The vivid purple milkvetch flowers on the bracelet made people feel more cordial.
"Then 30 million?" Hua Ruxue held the bracelet carefully, raised her head and asked tentatively.
"Want to pay it back?"
"No, no, no, my disciple didn't say anything just now." Hua Ruxue quickly covered her mouth, fearing that her master, whose 30 million yuan was not cheap at all, would continue this dizzying topic.
Although she doesn't like this kind of wild flowers that can be seen everywhere, and she doesn't have a good impression of this bracelet that has no spiritual power or function, but after all, it was given to her by her master who paid 30 million yuan, so she still has to give it face and wear it. To wear.
The moment he put on the bracelet, the "Wu Zi Jue" glowed brightly in the soul sea, and the unbreakable ice at the root of the spiritual root in the dantian showed faint traces of melting.
The annual entry test of Sushang Valley came to an end with Hua Ruxue becoming the direct disciple of the ancestor of Bone Peak.
