Chapter ninety-nine, refusing to attend the banquet
In the living room of a two-story villa in the peninsula dormitory area of the Martial Arts Academy, Jin Yulong frowned and walked back and forth. Five or six of his subordinates stood and did not dare to move or speak. As Jin Yulong walked around, he kept talking in his mouth. He muttered: "Bluestone! Bluestone..."
Suddenly, Jin Yulong made up his mind and stopped, punched a table next to him and said, "I have decided! I want to..."
"No way, brother!" Du Qi, the dog-headed strategist on the side, interrupted Jin Yulong's words and shouted loudly, "Absolutely no way!"
As he spoke, Du Qi rushed forward a few steps, knelt down in front of Jin Yulong with a bang, hugged his legs and said excitedly, "This bluestone is really powerful, and his background is probably something we can't afford to offend." , I can’t move!”
Jin Yulong looked at Du Qi with wide eyes, suddenly reached out and slapped Du Qi on the head, and shouted: "Who the hell said you were going to touch the bluestone? Even if you want to do it, do you have the fucking ability? I It means that I have decided that I will never confront Zhang Hao again, or I will regret it if I am beaten to death one day."
"Oh, that's it!" Du Qi rubbed his head in embarrassment and stood up, and said with a smile, "That's right, we lost a lot of spiritual stones this time, but Qingshi Zhang Hao and the others are still enough to give face. They really want to deliberately If they kill us, we won’t be able to afford the compensation even if we sell our underwear.”
"Yes!" Jin Yulong sighed and said, "Qingshi and Zhang Hao are quite measured. I heard that Qingshi has been accepted as a disciple by Dean Mo. Let's stop fighting with Zhang Hao and take a step back."
"Boss is wise!" All the younger brothers praised together.
...
At the same time, in another villa not far away in the same dormitory area, Xi Zhenzhu, the dean of the martial arts academy, was sitting in the living room. Minghui stood on one side and asked softly: "Mom! Why are you here?"
"Call me Elder Xi!" Xi Zhenzhu said with a serious face. Looking at her slim and slightly aggrieved daughter, Xi Zhenzhu couldn't bear it. She softened her voice a little and said, "I'm afraid you'll get used to it. Yes, I will expose my secrets in front of others from now on."
"No!" Minghui could hear the tenderness in his mother's sternness, and his heart warmed, and he replied, "I'm already old enough to understand the importance of things, so don't worry."
"Well!" Xi Zhenzhen said, "I came here today to ask you whether the Qingshi who ranks first in the inner court's dragon and tiger rankings this year is the same Qingshi who had an affair with you a few years ago?"
"Yes." Minghui said with a blush.
"Isn't this kid from the Alchemy Academy? How come he is still a genius in the Formation Academy when he comes to the Qidao Academy? Now he has won the first place in the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Inner Academy, and has even been admitted to the Martial Arts Academy!" Xi Zhenzhu frowned slightly. Said, "What an incredible genius! What a pity, back then..."
"That's nothing," Minghui interrupted Xi Zhenzhu and said, "I am also from the Alchemy Academy. I have not yet been admitted to the Martial Arts Academy. I am one year ahead of him."
"Can you become a fourth-level formation mage?" Xi Zhenzhu asked, "Can you defeat Yuan Renfeng and win the first place in the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?"
Minghui lowered his head and stopped talking. Yes, entering the High Court earlier than Yuan Renfeng and Qingshi does not mean that he is stronger than them in combat power, nor does it mean that his potential is higher than theirs.
In fact, Minghui knew that he could not keep up with Yuan Renfeng in these two aspects, let alone Qingshi.
Xi Zhenzhu looked at her daughter and said: "In the past, when you were still young, you mainly focused on practicing. Now, you can start planning some things. Maybe it's time to find some outside forces. By the way, does Qingshi really like you?" What about you? Do you like him?"
Minghui: "..."
...
Still in this dormitory area, in the No. 1 villa in the dormitory area of the Martial Arts High School with the best location and the most respected status, Jiang Chenxiu sat at the table and tapped three fingers on the table. The Xu brothers, ranked fifth and sixth on the Tianlong List, Xu Yanming and Xu Renjie stood on one side, and Zhou Tianzheng, a senior disciple of the High Court, talked eloquently: "...So, it is very possible that Qingshi is a disciple of Mo Sihai."
"Brother Zhou is right," Xu Renjie added, "The Xuan Sword Technique is the Xuan Sect secret of Dean Ou. Although the sword moves used by Qingshi are not exactly the same as Chen Tianye's, the sword intention revealed by them is But it’s the same, Chen Tianye and I have fought no less than ten times, and I can confirm that Qingshi uses Xuan Sword Technique.”
"Yes!" Jiang Chenxiu nodded, but his face was as handsome as a woman's but cold, "In that case, the seating arrangements for this banquet must be rearranged so that Qingshi will be in the first place."
"Since Qingshi has probably entered Xuanmen," Zhou Tian said, "then he shouldn't be treated so politely! Xuanmen is not related to the royal family..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Chenxiu shouted in a low voice, "This is not something you can discuss!"
"Yes!" Zhou Tian quickly shut up and stood in silence, not daring to say another word.
"It is precisely because he may be from Xuanmen that we have to arrange it this way." Jiang Chenxiu said, "I have a reason!"
"But!" Xu Yanming said, "I have already told Yuan Renfeng that he should be ranked first. Although he lost to Qingshi, judging from the comprehensive results of the inner courtyard's graduation season assessment, Yuan Renfeng is still first. "
"So what? Who told him to fail to live up to his expectations?" Jiang Chenxiu said lightly, "This time, the seating arrangement will not be based on the comprehensive assessment results, but based on the ranking of the Dragon and Tiger Rankings of the Inner Academy."
"Yes!" Xu Yanming agreed quickly.
...
Qingshi didn't expect that so many people were thinking about him. Qingshi had already planned his vacation. He was going to the underground cave of Jiufeng Mountain to practice using the spiritual power of the earth's veins.
Top-level earth veins are so precious that Chao Ge’s Tianlong Academy only has one.
Since the spiritual energy of the earth veins cannot be directly absorbed by the monks in the Tianlong World, the earth veins are often used as the spiritual source of the magic circle. For example, the small earth vein of the Sun family of the Jianming Mansion in the Jiushan Kingdom was the magic that the family was proud of. The energy source of the array.
Alternatively, earth veins can also be used as an energy source for various training facilities. For example, training facilities such as the gravity room and trial room of Tianlong Academy all use the spiritual power of earth veins.
This means that the leylines of the college have been transformed, and the bluestone cannot directly absorb them, unless he destroys these facilities and then directly absorbs their spiritual power.
After the land veins of Jiufeng Mountain were obtained by the academy, Tianlong Academy simply looked down upon the things that Jiufeng Sect did. Therefore, the academy has been carrying out a series of transformations on it. After the transformation, like these facilities in the academy, it will no longer be able to directly absorb its spiritual power.
The renovation period was three years, and now it has been two years.
Therefore, Qingshi plans to take advantage of this holiday to make good use of it before its transformation is completed. After all, using earth veins to practice, for Qingshi, the effect is far better than using spirit stones.
Qingshi's Qi cultivation is currently stuck at the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm. He needs to find an opportunity to break through to the Yuandan Realm. Using the spiritual power of the earth veins to cultivate may be the best way.
The person currently in charge of the renovation project in Jiufeng Mountain is none other than Zhong Buqi, the vice-president of Qi Daoyuan.
The college was on holiday, and the elders who were transforming the earth line and the external formation masters and weapon refiners were also on holiday. Only Zhong Buqi and three other elders stayed behind.
Qingshi went to Mo Sihai and asked him to write a note for him to go to the Jiufeng Mountains to facilitate his actions.
Although Mo Sihai felt a little surprised, he didn't bother to care what he was doing in the Jiufeng Mountain area, so he wrote a note casually, saying that he was ordering Qingshi to go to the Jiufeng Mountain Trial Branch construction site for inspection. The left-behind elders must actively cooperate and not stop him.
In this way, Qingshi can legitimately go to the Jiufeng Mountain construction site, and naturally can use the earth veins at will.
The afternoon before the holiday, Qingshi went to the task management office to accept a task. During the holiday, he went to the construction site of the Jiufeng Mountain Trial Branch to work as a construction site guard.
This was after he went to Mo Sihai to approve the note two days ago. Chen Tianye learned that he was going to Jiufeng Mountain and told him about this mission. Anyway, we are going to Jiufeng Mountain. Wouldn't it be a good idea to pick up a mission while doing so?
When Liu Changqing learned that Qingshi had accepted the task, he simply doubled the credits and asked Qingshi to be the captain, arrange transportation by himself, and be responsible for picking up the other eight students who also accepted the task, so as to avoid the academy from arranging another spaceship. Qingshi is naturally happy, and the credits, even if he enters the Martial Arts High School, are never too many.
Qingshi left a message in the communication column of the Mission Management Office, informing the other eight students who had taken over the guarding mission of Jiufeng Mountain, asking them to gather outside the west gate of the college at 10:00 tomorrow morning and set off.
Qingshi returned to the dormitory from the task management office, only to see an unknown student waiting outside the door of Dongjiu Building. Seeing Qingshi come back, the man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Junior brother Qingshi is back. Li Shilong of the Martial Arts Academy has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Senior Brother Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qingshi didn't know this Li Shilong. He said politely and then asked in confusion, "I wonder why Senior Brother Li is here?"
"I'm here to treat you!" Li Shilong said with a smile, "Junior Brother Qingshi became famous in one battle and was promoted to the High Court. It's a joy to congratulate him! As usual, Senior Brother Jiang Chenxiu, who ranks first in the Tianlong Ranking, will host a banquet at Chuqi Building in Chaogexi City tomorrow. Invite the junior brothers and sisters who have newly joined the Martial Arts Academy to gather together." He said and handed over a big red invitation.
When Qingshi thought about it, it seemed that there was such an unwritten convention. Duan Xiaoyu and Zhang Hao had both attended this welcome banquet two years ago after they were promoted to the Martial Arts High Court. However, Qingshi has no such interest.
Qingshi did not accept the invitation and said to Li Shilong: "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for your kindness. I have accepted a mission from the academy and will leave for the north early tomorrow morning. I will not be able to enjoy this banquet. Please tell Senior Brother Jiang and take care of it on your behalf." Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Li."
"Junior Brother Qingshi was joking," Li Shilong said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you are a day late for the academy's mission. How can you refuse this invitation from Brother Jiang? This is the academy's practice, and no one will ever refuse to go."
"As far as I know, this is not an express rule of the academy." Qingshi said, "Since it is the rule, there are always exceptions! My younger brother has indeed accepted the academy's mission and has decided to set off tomorrow. There are eight junior brothers and sisters with him. If I If we reschedule, others will have to reschedule just to wait for me, which is not appropriate! Therefore, I really can’t go to this banquet, so please forgive me!”
"You!" Li Shilong then realized that Qingshi really didn't want to go, and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "You really don't want to go?"
"Offended!" Qingshi remained calm and said lightly, "Forgive me!"
After saying that, Qingshi went straight into the house. Li Shilong stood blankly for a long time, then shook his head and turned away.
