Tan Mingzhen arrived almost on time.
"Disciple Mingzhen, I have met the master."
This beautiful and arrogant woman walked directly into the hall without even looking at Yang Zhen, and bowed her head to the ground under the platform.
This etiquette is much more solemn than Dai Chenghong and others just bowing and handing over, but after all, he was once a true disciple of the Supreme Patriarch, so there is nothing wrong with paying homage like this.
Yan Xiling showed a smile and said, "Mingzhen, how long has it been since you came to visit me?"
"There are a lot of things going on in Kuangzhou, and Mingzhen can't get away for a while. I hope our ancestors will forgive me." Tan Mingzhen explained while glancing provocatively at the middle-aged man in the audience.
The Tan family and the Kuang family have been having a lot of trouble in Kuangzhou recently.
"Yeah." Yan Xiling nodded slightly and was about to speak when Tan Mingzhen stood up and said:
"Master, you are going to accept another true disciple today. I wonder which junior sister it is?"
"Not junior sister," Yan Xiling waved, "Yang Zhen, come here to meet your senior sister Mingzhen."
Yang Zhen came from the entrance of the palace and bowed respectfully: "Yang Zhen has met senior sister."
Tan Mingzhen looked at the sky, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Yang Zhen has met Senior Sister Mingzhen!" Yang Zhen raised her voice.
"Master," Tan Mingzhen turned around slowly, with a somewhat unkind tone: "Did you make a mistake? This is a Foundation Establishment disciple!"
Yan Xiling frowned.
Tan Mingzhen continued: "Ancestor, in terms of seniority, your disciples are on an equal footing with the Jindan elders of the sect. If they are in the Zi Mansion, that's it. There is a big difference. With the guidance of the ancestor, after one hundred and eighty years, Then we can catch up. But this one in front of us is the foundation builder! He is two realms away from us. Is such a person qualified to be on an equal footing with us?"
"If you see a certain Zifu, he still has to call him uncle. Do we Jindan have to follow him and call him uncle from Zifu? Isn't it ridiculous!"
"I, Yan Xiling's disciple, which Zi Mansion dares to call himself uncle in front of him?" Yan Xiling snorted.
"It's hard to say," Tan Mingzhen said with a sneer: "Master only asked us Jindan to come to watch the ceremony. Obviously he didn't want to make this matter too public. Then when he walks around the world, he will not hang his identity as the true successor of the Taishang. Speaking of which, if he sees another Zifu, shouldn’t he call them uncle?”
Not to mention, Tan Mingzhen's words were quite reasonable, and several Jindan nodded slightly with smiles on their faces.
"What do you think?" Yan Xiling asked calmly.
"Of course the disciples dare not disobey the decision made by Master, but..." Tan Mingzhen smiled sweetly:
"I am also Master's true disciple, and can be regarded as his senior sister. There is an unwritten rule in our Zhenyu world. When new disciples start, those who are senior brothers and sisters must carefully examine each other's strength."
What Tan Mingzhen said usually happens when recruiting inner disciples. As a newcomer, the old inner disciples in the sect would often bully him and try to destroy his authority, euphemistically calling him "guidance".
But among true disciples, this is rarely the case. After all, the number of true disciples is limited, and they are all personally selected by the Master. Unless the Master allows it, there is no need for your guidance.
However, since it is an unwritten rule, it cannot be said that it is unreasonable for Tan Ming to use it to punish others.
"What advice do you want?" Yan Xiling asked.
"Of course it's a competition!" Tan Mingzhen covered his mouth and said with a smile, his voice was clear and clear, like a girl's.
Yan Xiling originally planned to veto it, but was aroused by the voice. Many memories came to his mind, and he hesitated for a moment.
This female disciple of his has always been arrogant and domineering. If he doesn't follow her wishes, I'm afraid there will be many troubles in his life in the future.
"Yes, but you have to suppress your cultivation to the same level as Yang Zhen."
"That won't work!" Tan Mingzhen shook his head: "His cultivation level is too low. If I suppress him to the middle stage of foundation building, I will be constrained and unable to exert my due strength. Since he wants to be Master's true disciple, at least he should Does he have the strength of Zifu in the early stage? If I want to compete with him, I will use Zifu’s early stage cultivation!"
This is a bit bullying. You are a Jindan Daoist, even if you are suppressed to practice Qi, your physical body, spiritual consciousness, understanding of magic, etc. are still at the level of Jindan. These cannot be suppressed. You have already taken advantage, and now you want to be even higher than the other party. How can you do this?
Yan Xiling was about to object when a message suddenly came from his ears: "Promise her!"
It was Mu Zixue's voice, and Yan Xiling was stunned.
"allow!"
As soon as these words came out, all the guests in the audience were shocked.
Could it be that the ancestor’s recruitment of disciples was a lie, but he actually found an excuse to make Tan Ming really happy?
I heard that regarding the matter in Kuangzhou, the ancestor repeatedly rejected some of her unreasonable requests, which made this true disciple quite dissatisfied.
You know, the ancestor was very doting on this female disciple who was beautiful, sweet-mouthed, and very good at getting into trouble.
There was even a rumor that the ancestor planned to make Tan Mingzhen a Taoist companion. Although it was later dropped, the fact that this rumor spread out itself shows the ambiguity of the relationship between the two.
In the world of immortality, this kind of thing is very common.
Dai Chenghong's true disciple Xiao Qiqiao is actually her Taoist companion, and everyone is not surprised.
Yang Zhen was also shocked. Is the ancestor too confident in his own strength, or is he too uneasy about Tan Mingzhen's strength?
"Yang Zhen," Zixue Qingyue's voice sounded: "If you can't even defeat Tan Mingzhen from the early stage of Zifu, don't say sweet words like 'face powerful enemies together' in front of me in the future. Come on." Make me happy."
Ha ha! Yang Zhen laughed in her heart, it turned out to be Zixue’s idea!
He did say many times in front of this Nascent Soul woman that we would deal with powerful enemies together in the future. That's because he already regards the other party as his woman. He pursues protection as his lifelong pursuit. Can't he even protect his own woman?
In this case, I want you to see my strength today!
Yang Zhen was full of pride and responded loudly: "Disciple, I obey!"
All the golden elixirs in the audience were stunned again, and suddenly became interested.
Okay, invite us here today, I dare you to watch a good show!
Only the row of women standing outside the auditorium looked at Yang Zhen with bright eyes and full of confidence.
…
The competition was held after the grand ceremony. Tan Ming really objected, but was unable to do anything about it.
In other words, no matter how much she taught Yang Zhen a lesson later, she could not change the fact that the other party was already the true disciple of the Supreme Patriarch.
This made Tan Mingzhen even more angry.
The whole ceremony was uneventful. Yang Zhen knelt down and kowtowed nine times to the third Yanxi mausoleum under the platform, worshiping him as her preaching teacher with the most respectful etiquette.
Later, he received a gift from Yan Xiling, the Zimu Feitian Shield.
There are two magical instruments in a set, both in the shape of shields. The small one is about the size of a palm, which is the mother shield, and the big one is as big as a washbasin, which is the child shield. As long as a high-grade spiritual stone is placed in the magic circle inlaid on the mother shield, once activated by a spell, the child shield will form a powerful defense around the monk, which can withstand the full blow of the early Golden Core monk!
Divine consciousness only needs to control the mother shield, which can be done by monks in the late stage of foundation building.
The higher the cultivation level, the less spiritual stone consumption and the longer the defensive shield lasts. Once you reach the golden elixir realm, you can abandon the mother shield and only use the child shield.
In other words, this is a set of fourth-level defensive instruments suitable for use in three realms, from foundation building to golden elixir.
Yang Zhenhuan happily accepted it, but she already understood in her heart that this must be the treasure that the ancestor of Xiling temporarily selected for him because he was worried that he would lose badly.
Next, other golden elixirs who were watching the ceremony, including two representatives Gu Yanxi and Lan Yuanzhan, also presented congratulatory gifts, nothing more than elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc., all of which were at the third level. Obviously before these people came, they all thought that the ancestor would recruit a Zifu disciple.
Tan Mingzhen also gave a gift, which was a third-level demon tiger that had been captured recently.
These gifts, in total, amounted to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. For an ordinary disciple, this would have been an astronomical windfall, but for Yang Zhen, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Some gifts, such as the demon tiger, are even quite useless.
He already has three demon kings, Dandan Zhuzhu and Qing Xiaoling, with him, so how can he think about cultivating another demon king. After all, the spiritual essence of the fairy beast only has so much weight.
Otherwise, can I kill it and eat it? He pondered secretly.
"Fuxiao has met the master." Yaohu said in a loud voice, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes. Human foundation building, hehe, I have several in my belly!
This new owner actually threw his soul contract into the storage ring without even looking at it. Was he trying to commit suicide?
In this case, don’t blame me for being rude, haha!
The demon tiger was secretly happy, and decided to find an opportunity to secretly eat this kid, steal his ring, and then fly away, proud of the mountains and forests!
It was full of longing, but it didn't know that the other party was also thinking about how to eat it.
…
After the ceremony, everyone came to the square outside the hall to watch the competition between the two Supreme Beings.
Tan Mingzhen took off his bead-ringed jade pendant coat, revealing a tight purple brocade suit, with a slender waist, graceful and graceful, and a bit of a dashing and heroic figure.
Yang Zhen took off her robe and was dressed in white. She had a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
The two stood opposite each other, and after saluting each other, Tan Mingzhen, dressed in a charming manner, holding a long sword, took the lead in attacking!
