After distributing the dharma plates, everyone boarded the white jade boat. Master Mingyang waved his sleeve, and the white jade boat flew towards the wilderness like a sharp arrow. The speed was so fast that the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but take a second look.
This boat was also made by Master Mingyang. It is four feet wide and nine feet long. The entire body is made of some kind of milky white divine jade.
There are separate rooms in the boat for the elders to rest.
All the young talents on the boat were sitting cross-legged and meditating, each in a pile.
Although the Nine Dao Traditions are an alliance, their sects are deeply divided. Without the presence of the elders, they will naturally not pretend to be happy with the other Dao Traditions. Of course, there are politenesses, except for a few men who admire Duan Xiaoxiao who take the initiative to come. Except for talking with Duan Xiaoxiao, the rest of the people are in their own camps with the Taoist disciples of various schools.
"I'm Lu Lianglu. This is Liu Changsu next to me. He's a top-notch genius in our Zulong Taoist Academy. I dare you to ask me your surname." Lu Lianglu, a young scholar, cupped his fists at An Qing and smiled, then glanced at Duan Xiaoxiao. He said: "As for the beautiful lady beside us, I guess I don't need to introduce her."
Duan Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Lianglu, then at An Qing, smiled calmly and said, "You really don't need an introduction. I'm quite familiar with Mr. An, right? Mr. An?" After saying that, he blinked his beautiful eyes, revealing a profound meaning. He glanced at An Qing.
Lu Lianglu and Liu Changsu didn't know what happened to them. They just thought it was normal for them to know each other since they were from the same college.
An Qing coughed twice, avoided Duan Xiaoxiao's gaze calmly, smiled and clasped his fists, "I'm An Qing, just a nobody from the West Courtyard."
Liu Changsu smiled faintly and said: "Brother An is too modest. I believe that the person who can be picked up by Elder Li personally will definitely not be a small person."
Liu Changsu's words were obviously praising An Qing, but An Qing felt that he was praising himself in disguise.
It seems that the people who can participate in this mission are extraordinary people.
He, Liu Changsu, is an extraordinary person.
However, those who can obtain the Golden Dragon Badge in the Ancestral Dragon Taoist Temple where the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger are indeed proud of themselves, so An Qing doesn't care.
During his time in the West Academy, An Qing not only found people to compete with others all day long, but also learned about the actual situation of the Zulong Taoist Academy in his spare time.
The competition among the students of Zulong Taoist Academy is more intense than that of the four major academies.
There are only one hundred golden dragon badges in the college of Nuo Nuo University. All students with badges are the shining stars among the students, the elites of the college, and enjoy more generous treatment than ordinary students.
Of course, those with badges must accept the challenge from any student.
Once defeated, the badge will go to the winner, and all the original generous benefits will be lost.
Students who graduate with badges will become the core figures of the Ancestral Dragon Society for their training, and at worst they can become mentors, so they can sit back and relax from now on.
The brighter the golden dragon badge shines, the more noble the status.
Judging from the brightness of Liu Changsu's Golden Dragon Badge, he must be at least one of the top fifty talents in Zulong Taoist Academy.
Luliang Lu's golden dragon badge is slightly inferior.
An Qing waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your praise, Senior Liu. I am indeed a nobody. I'm just acquainted with Elder Li."
Liu Changsu glanced at An Qing meaningfully: "Oh? Is that really the case?"
An Qing nodded: "Really."
Liu Changsu nodded, his eyes no longer interested in An Qing, and he sat there without speaking.
Only Duan Xiaoxiao secretly smiled mysteriously at An Qing, as if something suddenly occurred to her, her pretty face turned slightly red.
An Qing smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
At this time, Lu Lianglu said with a smile: "Whether Brother An is a small person or a big shot, since he can come here, he must have extraordinary abilities. This is for sure. This mission requires us to unite together."
An Qing nodded: "That's natural."
Lu Lianglu looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Brother An, although our Nine Dao Traditions advance and retreat together when facing foreign invasions, due to different Dao Traditions among the same clan, the competition is very fierce. When we get to the place, You must follow us closely to avoid being plotted by other Taoist geniuses. After all, the cultivation world is based on strength. If any Taoist disciple is killed, no one will ask as long as the specific truth is not found out."
When An Qing heard this, his expression changed, and he quickly bowed his hands and said thanks: "Thank you, Senior Lu, for reminding me. I'll remember it."
Phew!
Duan Xiaoxiao covered her face and laughed out loud for some unknown reason at this moment.
Lu Lianglu and Liu Changsu looked at Duan Xiaoxiao in confusion. Realizing that he had lost his composure, Duan Xiaoxiao glanced at An Qing secretly, suppressed a smile and waved his hand: "It's nothing."
After that, the four of them chatted away. It was obvious that Liu Changsu rarely spoke after losing interest in An Qing. An Qing also had nothing to say. Lu Lianglu and Duan Xiaoxiao kept talking. It was obvious at a glance. The two are old acquaintances.
An Qing sometimes sets his sights on the other eight great unifying geniuses.
Although each Taoist lineage sent four geniuses, in each Taoist lineage, there was a figure who followed the lead.
These eight people were all just like Liu Changsu, with unspeakable arrogance in their words and deeds.
An Qing didn't like these eight people, including Liu Changsu, at all.
Flying is very boring, and the only way to pass the time is to practice. After three days, everyone finally arrived at the designated location.
Below is a vast swamp area, with miasma spreading everywhere, and there is rarely a place to stay, but where the white jade boat landed, there was a piece of grass.
An Qing stood on the edge of the white jade boat and looked down. He saw two old men sitting cross-legged and meditating on the grass below. One of them, An Qing, knew Gu Xiaoyu, the resident elder of the Ancestral Dragon Society. Qing has never seen it, but from the appearance and the divine light that penetrates his body, he can tell that he should be a giant of demons. He just doesn't know if he is an elder of Jiuyou Temple or an elder of Blood Demon Temple.
Because most of the demonic light that penetrates the body has a blood-red glow, it is easy to identify.
An Qing shifted his gaze and frowned slightly. He didn't know which clan the strange creatures standing opposite the two elders belonged to.
The group of strange creatures had human heads on their upper bodies, and huge snake bodies on their lower bodies. Each one was very tall, and their whole bodies were as red as fire.
There are at least six among them whose cultivation fluctuations are no less than those of the elders on the human race.
"The Crimson Flame Python Clan?" A trace of surprise flashed across Li Chunfeng's face, and then he frowned, revealing an unkind look.
"Why are they here?" Master Mingyang's eyes sank.
After hearing this, the other Taoist elders also came to the edge of the jade boat to take a look. After a while, they also frowned.
An Qing glanced at the elders and was slightly surprised, because in addition to frowning, the expressions of these elders also revealed that they were quite afraid of the Red Flame Python Clan.
"Senior Lu, are the Red Flame Pythons strong?" An Qing asked in confusion.
"Very strong..." Lu Lianglu nodded solemnly, but when he was about to say it, Duan Xiaoxiao beat him to it.
"The Scarlet Flame Python Clan is a big clan among the Monster Clan. There are many strong men. They have the worst relationship with our human race. They look down on us at all. They often come to our human area to harass us. When they meet us, whether they are monks or mortals, they will arrest us. After living here, you will either use it as a source of entertainment or eat it alive." Duan Xiaoxiao frowned and said solemnly: "The demon clan borders our human race, so there are often frictions between our human race and the demon clan, but after all, there are still people here. It belongs to our human race’s sphere of influence, and most of the monster races won’t come here easily, which is strange.”
An Qing couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this. Isn't this Red Flame Python Clan too arrogant?
