A few days later, the spiritual conference officially ended.
All disciples withdrew from Yelan Kingdom and handed over their identity tokens.
Ziyun Palace was once again crowded with people, all waiting for the ranking list to be announced soon.
Bai Mengjin found his brother and sister in the crowd. Bai Menglian looked very good, but Bai Mengxing was a little sluggish.
Bai Menglian was beaming: "Brother did a good job this time. We found a demonic energy in a family's house, and we didn't want to mistake the possessed person. He blocked the demon at the critical moment and saved the lives of the family."
The way she looks now is like an old farmer who planted a seedling and worked hard to take care of it for a year, and finally saw the seedling grow into a golden harvest, feeling full of accomplishment.
Bai Mengjin was surprised: "Brother is actually so enlightened?"
Bai Mengxing was injured and said wiltedly: "I'm not made of stone. Last time everyone tried their best to block the monsters in Liuyue City, but my cultivation level was too low and I couldn't do anything. This time I can finally help."
Bai Mengjin couldn't help but smile, and felt a little more emotional. The eldest brother who was useless in his previous life has grown into a qualified disciple of the Immortal Sect through the painstaking teachings of his eldest sister. It can be seen that with hard work, many things can be changed.
Yue Yunqiao was fine too. She was teleported to a farm more than ten miles away from the capital, where she found traces of the monster and focused on dealing with the monster. When the palace incident happened and Huo Chongxiao found her, she had already cleaned up the farm.
"Junior Sister Bai, I did it alone this time without anyone else's help." Yue Yunqiao looked proud, "I destroyed the monsters. The villagers were very grateful and gave me many things."
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Yue, you have gained a lot this time!"
Yue Yunqiao felt embarrassed again: "Oh, my little harvest can't compare with yours! My senior brother has told me that you have done a big job in the Imperial City. That's right, I haven't thanked you yet. You, that bead is really a good thing. If I put it on my body, as long as someone comes close to me, I can sense whether they are human or demonic, and whether they have demonic aura..."
In the corner, Ning Yanzhi stood quietly.
Although he has a high reputation, his temperament is too cold. Many disciples around him look at him with admiration, but no one dares to come up and say hello.
Until Huo Chongxiao came over, leaned on the railing next to him, and asked, "What is Senior Brother Ning thinking about?"
Ning Yanzhi glanced at him and did not answer: "Where is your junior sister? Why didn't you accompany her?"
Huo Chongxiao raised his chin: "I am having fun chatting with others!"
Ning Yanzhi followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure. The white girl showed no indifference when facing him, and spoke to Junior Sister Yue with a smile.
The master Ling Shao did not participate and was chatting with Ying Shaoguang and Baili Xu. But from time to time, his eyes would glance to the side, make eye contact with his fiancée, and then turn back to continue chatting.
Although they obviously talk about their own things, there is always a feeling that they are together.
Ning Yanzhi had an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling, as if he had lost something important, but someone else had gained it.
Ling Bufei suddenly felt something and turned his head to look over.
The two looked at each other across the crowd.
After a moment, Ning Yanzhi made his first gesture and nodded slightly to him. Ling Bufei responded with a smile.
Then they each looked away as if nothing had happened.
But this scene fell in Huo Chongxiao's eyes, and he hesitated and said: "Senior Brother Ning..."
Ning Yanzhi calmly raised his eyes: "What's the matter?"
His eyes were as clear and quiet as the purest ice and snow on the mountains. Huo Chongxiao shook his head and smiled to himself: "It's okay."
How could he think that Senior Brother Ning had the same thoughts of love as himself? Not to mention that the girl has a marriage alliance with someone else. What is the difference between this and taking someone else's wife?
Huo Chongxiao collected his thoughts and returned to the original topic: "Brother, who do you think the leader will be this time? Do you still have hope?"
Ning Yanzhi shook his head: "This time a night demon appeared, which not only affected the entire Yelan Kingdom, but also affected the lives of so many people. The bulk of the points must be here. My contribution is not much, and the points I earned are far less than that. Although several of you have worked diligently to catch up in the past few days, it is not enough to close this gap."
Huo Chongxiao thought so too, and couldn't help but feel pity: "Senior Brother Ning is strong enough to win the championship, but it's a pity that he was a bit unlucky this time, and the leader has to fall by the wayside."
Ning Yanzhi said calmly: "Even if I were to find the Night Demon in advance, I still wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with it. So, it's nothing to be sorry about. It's true that my skills are inferior to others."
After saying that, a faint smile appeared on his face: "Junior Brother Huo has done a great job in slaying demons this time. He must have won a lot of points. I haven't congratulated you yet."
Huo Chongxiao also smiled: "I am really lucky. I just hope to be in the top ten and make my master look good."
While they were talking, someone came out of the hall and started to put up red lists on the notice board.
The first thing to be announced was the ranking list for the foundation building period. Bai Menglian and Bai Mengxing squeezed over to take a look, and ran back happily: "Second sister! We are on the list!"
Bai Mengxing is in the 23rd place, and Bai Menglian is in the 5th place. They have only been in the field for five years. They are not as good as those talented people who have been taught by famous teachers since childhood. This result is already very good.
"Congratulations, big brother and big sister, for becoming famous in one battle." Bai Mengjin smiled.
"Oh, I'm far behind compared to you!" Bai Menglian felt embarrassed and showed a little bit of pride, "I finally rank well enough to meet people, and I can have the honor to meet my master when I go back."
She was favored by Wen Rujin, the master of the Deacon Hall, and she became a junior sister with You Yan. There were always people making irresponsible remarks behind her back, thinking she was not qualified. This time I got a good ranking and I can finally feel proud.
Yue Yunqiao is also back. Judging from her expression, her ranking should be very good.
"Junior sister Bai, I'm in the top ten! Ninth place!"
Everyone smiled and congratulated her.
After the foundation building list is posted, it will be the golden elixir list.
Generally speaking, there is a big gap between the points on the Foundation Establishment Ranking and the Golden Elixir Ranking. Like last time, Ning Yanzhi entered the sixth place in the overall ranking with his Foundation Establishment cultivation. This is a very rare situation.
Bai Mengjin and his group squeezed past and saw Ji Xingge and He Shuangchi together. They waved wildly in the crowd: "Here, come here! I've reserved a place for you!"
So they squeezed over and looked at the list with Ji Xingge.
The list was posted from the back, and when it came to the top ten, none of them were on the list.
Everyone was very calm, knowing that they would be in the top ten. With Night Demon as big as him, can he still be on the list of points?
The tenth place came out first, and someone immediately shouted: "The tenth place, Tao Hanling of Canngling Mountain!"
Tao Hanling beamed with joy. She didn't expect that she could still be in the top ten. She probably got a lot of points by tripping the prison guard.
Soon, the next one came out: "Ninth place, Wuji Sect, Baili Xu!"
Baili Xu smiled and bowed his hands to his companions: "I'll go first. It seems I'm going to lose to you."
