Jian Xiu and others dispersed and came to the Yuhua Hall. He sat on the main seat in the hall, and the figures of the peak masters were no longer around him.
Yang Jing and the remaining twenty-four people all saluted him.
"The selection of twenty-five of you in the sect's competition today is a testament to your strength, but you must not be complacent. After all, you and others were only elected through competition within the sect. You will come to the Xuankong Temple in the next three years and be elected again. , but it’s not such an easy competition.
At that time, it does not matter whether you are alive or dead, winning or losing may even mean life and death. This is why I want you to wait and practice more during the three years.
Golden elixir and foundation building are okay. Disciples in the Qi training stage advance quickly. In three years, some of you may even break through to the foundation building stage.
Therefore, I suggest that you can cultivate, but it is best to suppress your cultivation. Otherwise, losing a strong list will be a loss to our sect and you personally. Do you understand? "
Jian Xiu didn't waste any time and went straight to the topic in his opening remarks.
Everyone listened with little understanding. Seeing that everyone was being questioned, they were a little confused as to why they were asked to speak on their behalf?
Seeing this, Jindan Zhenren didn't want to ask more questions, or they didn't care about the reasons at all, and just listened to the orders given by the leaders.
As for the disciples in the foundation building period, they had the golden elixir before and practiced qi later, but they didn't ask, and naturally they wouldn't speak either. Only in the qi training period, they had little experience and qualifications, so they didn't understand many things, but everyone remained silent.
Yu Wan couldn't hold it in anymore. She couldn't get answers to her questions, and she always felt uncomfortable. She took a step forward, saluted Jian Xiu respectfully, and then asked:
"Sect Master, this disciple has a question. Since the twenty-five of us have won the top ten of each level in the sect competition through various competitions, isn't this a good thing even if we have been promoted within three years? Why did we advance? If they are to be replaced by newcomers, why can’t we keep the original twenty-five people to compete?”
Jian Xiu looked at Yu Wan and couldn't help but curl his lips silently. He didn't answer Yu Wan. Instead, he looked up at the other twenty-four people and said:
"Do you think the same way as she does?"
Everyone remained silent, implying that they agreed with Yu Wan's statement.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu explained to them:
"You were chosen just to enter the Taotie secret realm. The Taotie is an ancient ferocious beast. Although it is a ferocious beast, it is actually a lineage of divine beasts.
Taotie is a glutton for everyone, and there is nothing in the world that cannot be eaten by it. Therefore, after the Taotie sat down and transformed, the true body left behind, over the years, formed the Taotie Secret Realm.
And this secret realm opens once every hundred years. It’s rare this time. It’s a coincidence that you caught up with it. However, after tens of thousands of years of looting, the treasures in its belly can still be excavated. It is conceivable that when it was alive in the world, it devoured so many things.
Even though there are many treasures inside, they cannot withstand millions of years of looting and looting by the influx of people. Because of this, tens of thousands of years ago, several major sects conspired together to limit the number of people to enter the treasure hunt.
Now this time, the Taotie Secret Realm is limited to twenty-five people. These twenty-five people are still the total number of people in several large sects. The number of places our sect can occupy depends entirely on your strength and achievements. "
Having said this, he paused, looked at Yu Wan and said:
"You just said, just like after practicing Qi and advancing to foundation building, why can't you continue to compete as a foundation building, right?"
"Yes, the disciple really doesn't understand." Yu Wan replied.
"The Taotie Secret Realm only allows disciples with the first level of the Golden Core to enter. However, during the election, it was mainly Qi training and foundation building disciples, and there were only five Golden Core disciples."
"The reason is that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the monks looted and destroyed, and the great master set up a barrier within the Taotie Secret Realm, dividing the Taotie Secret Realm into three areas, Golden Pill, Foundation Building and Qi Training. Among them, the largest area is The largest one is in the foundation building and Qi training stages, and the smallest one is in the golden elixir stage.
Therefore, when you advance to a new level, you will not be able to enter the realms you could have entered to hunt for treasures. Secondly, let’s not talk about your advancement. Once you advance, you will be in the early stage of a new promotion. How can you defeat other sects? A mid- to late-stage disciple of the sect?
Because of this, I need you to postpone your promotion within three years if possible. After all, in terms of combat power, you are stronger than the alternate disciples. So, do you understand? " Jian Xiu explained.
After hearing this, Yu Wan and everyone understood in their hearts that it was a rare opportunity that could only be seen in a hundred years. It seemed that it would not be a loss to exchange three years of suppressed cultivation for this opportunity. After all, there should be many treasures there.
"I originally had one more thing to say to you, but if you think about it carefully, who knows whether the twenty-five people standing on the stage again three years later will still be the same people you are today?! It's not as important as this. When we set off, I will talk to the last person standing here." After saying that, Jian Xiu glanced at Yang Jing and Qu Lian meaningfully.
The two of them were originally watching Jian Xiu and listening to his words. When Jian Xiu looked at them, the two of them lowered their heads slightly, knowing that what Jian Xiu might want to say was that he had mentioned to them before that he was looking for the fragments of something.
"Do you have any more questions?" Jian Xiu asked again.
Seeing everyone's silence, he understood instantly and said to them:
"Okay, I have told you the specific situation. For the rest, you can improve your strength. Don't lose your life when competing with other sect elites! If your cultivation cannot be restrained, just let it take its course. Naturally, don’t force it.
Also, a demon sect has sneaked into the sect recently. If you encounter strangers or people with demonic aura, you must report it. This time they are looking for people and demons. If they don't succeed this time, they will send people again. Come on, please be careful. If nothing happens, then retreat. "Speaking of this, he glanced meaningfully in the direction of Yu Wan and the others.
When Yu Wan heard about the monster, she couldn't help but be shocked!
Monster? !
She has monsters. The magic dagger is still hanging on her waist...
When she raised her eyes to look at Jian Xiu, she found that Jian Xiu was looking at Yu Wan with a scrutinizing gaze, which frightened her half to death, but her face was expressionless and she felt panicked!
She froze a little, followed the others as if nothing had happened, bowed to Jian Xiu, and then exited the Yuhua Palace.
After leaving the Yuhua Palace, Yu Wan did not dare to relax. The consciousness of the Transformed Immortal Lord was always watching their backs behind them.
Yu Wan looked at the state of several qi-training disciples, and her heart instantly felt balanced. She saw that their bodies were all standing upright, with the same rays on their backs.
There was basically no conversation between everyone, and they all rushed to the dormitory of Sanqing Peak. After all, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally after fighting for three days in a row, and they all wanted to sit down and have a good rest.
Yu Wan was no exception, and what worried her even more was the black dagger with demonic aura.
Since her last reckless contract, she had never taken out the dagger from the wooden box in her storage bag to verify whether she had contracted this magic weapon?
The sect leader said that the Demon Sect was sent out to find people and monsters. Is this monster a living thing or a dead thing? Because of my guilty conscience, I didn't dare to ask too carefully so as not to arouse suspicion.
Hey... I blame myself for being short-handed. What's the point of making a blind contract? !
Well now, you are just asking for trouble! ! !
"Awan...I have something to tell you."
When they arrived at Sanqing Peak, Li Hao next to Yu Lin stopped Yu Wan.
This time "Ah Wan" was called, the three of them were a little awkward and surprised at the same time!
Because Li Hao has never called Yu Wan that way, he doesn't like to talk, and every time he speaks, he is basically concise and to the point.
What's more, when calling someone's name, especially when it's a girl, it's basically replaced by the word "you"!
Well... the sun was rising in the west today. For the first time, he called Yu Wan by name, and it was still "A Wan". Not to mention that the person he called was instantly embarrassed. Even the person involved, Yu Wan, turned around and turned around. He was stunned for a moment.
On the side, Yu Lin's eyelids drooped slightly and her eyes narrowed slightly. She could not see any emotion, but the fist in her hand was clenched tighter and tighter unconsciously.
Yu Wan was just not used to Li Hao suddenly calling her like this, but she was still a little confused as to why Li Hao called her:
"anything?"
Yu Lin was also curious about what Li Hao wanted to do with Yu Wan. The originally low-brow expression suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao didn't explain. He took the lead and glanced at Yu Lin, who had been following her.
At this glance, Yu Lin felt very uncomfortable, which made her look unnatural. She understood and tried her best to smile, and said to the two of them:
"Just in time, I have to go back to the dormitory to practice. You guys can chat."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. When he turned around, the smile on his face immediately dropped, making him look extremely ugly.
Seeing Yu Lin leaving, Yu Wan looked at Li Hao. Li Hao didn't say anything. Seeing that he was almost at Yu Wan's dormitory, he said:
"It's better to go to your place and tell me. There are many people here."
"oh."
Yu Wan didn't care, so she responded and took him into her house.
She really didn't know why this guy was so mysterious. What was he going to do? Still so secretive?
Could it be...
Ouch...could this guy want to confess his love to her? !
This guy just acted uncharacteristically. This was the first time she heard Li Hao call her "A Wan"? !
Look at his red ears again... tsk tsk tsk, the more you look at it, the more it looks like this!
Oh my god...
It’s hard for me to give up on my natural beauty. Now, with such a slim figure, can I attract straight men to confess their love to me? !
Oops... I'm so embarrassed, oh ho ho ho...
Yu Wan had no offline thoughts here. If Liuli was awake at this moment, she would definitely roll her eyes speechlessly and ask her to look in the mirror and ask where her face was.
After entering the house, he saw Da Huang lying on the bed, and Qinglong Jiao opened his eyes, glanced at Yu Wan and Li Hao, and then continued to close his eyes to rest.
The room was very quiet at this time. Yu Wan's face was not red, and her heart was not beating. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Hao curiously. Just to see what words this boring slut could hold back, Yu Wan heard the scene that made her imagine, A broken and broken sound sounded:
"It has been three years since we set off from Yujiacun and left the mortal world. At that time, in Zhendian Square in Lin'an City, I heard Master Yang Jing saying to the two uncles who were stationed in Donglin Country. After three years, I will bring someone over to change shifts with them.
Now that the three-year period has expired, it is time to change the shift. And a few days before Zongbi started, I found out in the mission hall that they were leaving for the mortal world. Just half a month later, I want to ask you, do you Are you willing to go together? "
As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, Yu Wan came back to his senses.
Yes! I almost forgot about the shift change every three years!
Back in Zhendian Square, Yang Jing lobbied with Mo Chu and Qin Zi, who were foundation disciples.
At that time, I also wanted to take advantage of the three-year period to go back to visit Ling Niang and the others.
Half a month?
Huh... this time... luckily I didn't miss it!
However, what surprised Yu Wan was why Li Hao only told her and deliberately sent Yu Lin away?
"Thank you for telling me this. I almost missed it, but it's not a secret. Why did you ask Yu Lin to tell me?" Yu Wan was still confused and asked.
Li Hao was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he raised his eyes and looked at Yu Wan and said:
"I actually...actually have something to ask for, and of all the people here, it seems that you are the only one I can trust. If you feel forced, just pretend that I didn't mention it."
Yu Wan was speechless: Uh... haha, it turns out that I was overthinking it. She was so mysterious when nothing happened, and her ears even turned red in response to the situation. Could you please stop her from overthinking it...
Also, I didn’t say anything about it. How should I answer it? Should I answer it?
But speaking of trust...
Hey, kid, you still have some sense!
"Tell me when. If it's just a little effort, I'll help you if I can." Yu Wan said cheerfully.
Seeing Yu Wan's cheerful look, Li Hao's originally nervous eyes softened, he couldn't help but smile silently, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"According to the people at the mission hall, if we don't apply to be stationed in the mortal world of Fanyin Continent for a long time, we will only have five months to stay in the mortal world, and we have to come back with the ship.
The reason why it is five months is because every time you enter the mortal world, you still need the five sects to hold orders and open the barrier at the same time to pass through.
Therefore, five months is the time set aside to facilitate the handover of personnel from various sects and to finally gather in Nanyicheng to open the formation gate again and set off back to the cultivation world in Luanyuan Continent. It is also during this period that we can go home on our own to visit relatives and get together. "
After hearing this, Yu Wan nodded, indicating that she understood the specific time, but she still didn't understand, what was he asking for?
Li Hao saw Yu Wan blinking at him, as if waiting for him to continue, so he continued willingly:
"For this reason, during these five months, I would like to ask you to help me cover. If the uncles stationed in Xuantian Sect want to inquire about our situation while I am away, I hope you can help me." I'll hide something, okay?"
After hearing this, Yu Wan frowned and asked in confusion:
"Isn't this an important matter? Not to mention whether you need to hide it or not. I guess the foundation-building master uncles will not be so free to explore other people's lives or cultivation. Is it possible that you want to do something? Something? Is it possible that it will attract their attention? "
Yu Wan thought about the last thing and couldn't help but look seriously at Li Hao.
When Li Hao saw Yu Wan's expression becoming solemn, he smiled, shook his head helplessly and said:
"Awan, do you know? Sometimes you are really smarter than ordinary people, no, to be precise, smarter than your age.
Sometimes I even doubt that you are not a ten-year-old child at all. You are obviously about the same age as us, but you can always hit the nail on the head when looking at problems. "
