After paying homage to his master, Yan Changlan raised his eyes and saw the three people next to him.
The man standing at the front is a young man with a good-looking appearance. Although he is not very handsome, he has a calm demeanor that makes people feel trustworthy after meeting him.
Behind the honest young man, there is a gentle woman with a delicate appearance. She seems to be in love with the honest young man. When the two of them look at each other, there is a hint of friendship.
The last one is a girl in red. She looks very gorgeous, but her eyes are very smart. She does not make people feel tacky because of her beauty. Instead, she feels that she is radiant.
What surprised Yan Changlan was that these three people were not very old.
Judging from their bone ages, the young man and the woman are all in their twenties, and the girl is fifteen or sixteen years old. It is not known what their spiritual roots are, but their realm is at the fourth level of Qi refining.
Yan Changlan knew very well that the reason why the disciples of the branch sects were sent here at the fifth level of Qi Refining was because the inner sect of Qixiao Sect had to be at the fifth level of Qi Refining before they had a chance to enter, so usually some of the branch sects’ dual spiritual root geniuses After arriving at Qixiao Sect, you have to pass the test in the outer sect first to see if you can successfully become an inner sect disciple.
However, none of the fellow sects in front of me has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, yet they are direct disciples of the inner sect... This naturally makes people feel weird.
The young girl in red was lively and she was already talking quickly: "The new kid is curious about our cultivation, right? Master has such a temper. All direct disciples don't care about their realm, as long as they like it." Just take them in. Although we haven't reached the fifth level of Qi Refining yet, Master said we would take them in, so we naturally took them in. However, the brothers and sisters from the same sect that the previous Master gave up on are at the lowest level of the Sixth Level of Qi Refining. You came late and didn't see them, so you're so surprised."
Yan Changlan suddenly became enlightened upon hearing this.
No wonder the master said that we would meet and learn from each other. If the realms are too far apart, where can we learn from each other? Several of his classmates were at the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was just one more level than him, so he was naturally capable of competing.
The girl in red chirped again: "Our senior brothers Zhu are the senior brothers, senior sister Xia is the second senior sister, and I am the junior sister. If you come and compete with us, you will most likely be the junior junior brother!"
It was rare for Yan Changlan to see a girl with such a temperament, but seeing that her nature was not restricted here, he felt that these fellow disciples were probably not difficult to get along with, and since the new master was willing to indulge, it must not be what his appearance showed. So serious.
Such a master actually made him feel a little more joyful.
This time is very different from when he was in Baixiao Sect. At that time, Master Sun Zhenren was focused on extending his life and did not care about him. His fellow disciples were all registered disciples. They respected him more and had little friendship with him. Therefore, although he also respected Zhenren Sun, he did not treat him as such. My classmates are gentle, but it's hard to feel close to them.
Now that he saw his fellow disciples this time... they seemed quite different.
Thinking of this, Yan Changlan also had a smile on his face.
That senior brother Zhu said gently: "After that, we will spar with each other until you and I click."
Senior Sister Xia also smiled: "Please give me more advice in the future."
The girl in red also said seriously: "Please give me more advice!"
Yan Changlan handed over to several people: "Of course."
After seeing several people greeting each other, Master Xun Fuxun said: "Since you already know each other, let's go out and compare notes. Remember, don't be cruel when comparing notes with fellow disciples."
Yan Changlan kept this advice in mind and said, "Yes, Master."
So several fellow disciples walked out of the cave together - the peak master of Baixiao Peak also lived in a cave with a quiet scenery. In addition to giving guidance to his disciples, he practiced seclusion all year round.
The open space outside the cave was not small, and several fellow disciples seemed to have become accustomed to sparring, so they dispersed outside, leaving only Yan Changlan alone among the three.
Then, the girl in red asked: "Which one do you want to fight?"
Yan Changlan said: "Please..."
The girl in red's eyes lit up: "You want to spar with me?"
Yan Changlan said: "Exactly, please take action."
The girl in red smiled: "My name is Ruan Hongyi, and I want you to call me Senior Sister Ruan from now on!"
Yan Changlan didn't say much, just resting his hands on the hilt of the sword.
The next moment, Ruan Hongyi raised her wrist, and a long fiery red whip was thrown out, like a spiritual snake, heading straight towards Yan Changlan's face. She also let out a clear cry: "I'll fight!"
Yan Changlan didn't panic. He drew the sword with his left hand and suddenly pulled it out, and a strong wind blew past him.
Although the long whip was flexible, it was unable to extend its body in the seemingly endless wind, and was blown back in just one blow.
Ruan Hongyi was not convinced. She raised her arms and used whip techniques one after another. The shadow of the whip almost formed a net, trapping Yan Changlan in it, as if he could not escape no matter which crack he went through.
Yan Changlan was still not panicking. He held the sword in his left hand, and the blade of the sword stabbed between the whip shadows very quickly. Every time, he could hit the slightest change in the whip shadows, causing the whip shadows to pause and expose their flaws.
Although Ruan Hongyi kept adjusting the angle of the whip, Yan Changlan's Lanfeng Sword was never able to really trap Yan Changlan. Instead, Yan Changlan suddenly seized the opportunity and swept Ruan Hongyi away with the Thunder Sword. He took several steps back.
Ruan Hongyi's eyebrows were raised, but she still said unwillingly: "I lost. How can there be such a powerful third-level Qi Refiner like you in the world? Could this realm be a bluff to me?"
Yan Changlan was startled, then shook his head: "Junior Sister Ruan is joking before we reach the fourth level."
The winner was decided, so naturally he knew what to call it.
Ruan Hongyi pursed her lips and her voice was as low as a gnat: "Senior Brother Yan..."
Senior Brother Zhu and Senior Sister Xia looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Yan Changlan also admired Ruan Hongyi's strength.
Don't look at the fact that he defeated Ruan Hongyi before, but in fact Ruan Hongyi's ability is not weak. Compared with the monks he has encountered before, she is much better at the same level.
Now Yan Changlan himself has made great progress. Otherwise, if he wants to defeat Ruan Hongyi, he may have to use the third style of his Wind and Thunder Sword Technique - that move is not stable enough for him, and recently, the integration of his two powers has become a little deeper. It's also more difficult to control. Once you use it, you don't know what the result will be.
It is also for this reason that Yan Changlan said to Senior Brother Zhu and Senior Sister Xia: "I am not a match for you two now. When I become more advanced in my cultivation in the future, I will ask you two for advice."
Senior Brother Zhu and Senior Sister Xia also had no objections.
Ruan Hongyi asked unhappily: "You don't want to fight anymore?"
Yan Changlan said: "Too much mana is consumed, and we will lose if we fight again."
Ruan Hongyi then smiled: "I lost, but you can't get over it."
Yan Changlan did not refute with words.
Ruan Hongyi became even more happy, and she no longer cared about the little depression she felt about losing earlier.
So the rankings have been decided for the time being.
Yan Changlan said a few words to a few others, and then went to report to Master Xun Zhenren together.
After hearing this ranking, Master Xun said to Ruan Hongyi: "You started first, but you are not as good as Chang Lan. You have to work harder in the future. It should be noted that although he has mutated double spiritual roots, you also have double spiritual roots, seven points Pure, you shouldn’t fall too far behind.”
Ruan Hongyi Nuonuo agreed and didn't dare to take the lead.
Later, Yan Changlan found out that all of Xun Zhenren’s direct disciples had double spiritual roots. Except for Yan Changlan, who was eight-point pure, the one with the best qualification was Ruan Hongyi, both of whom had seven-point pure spiritual roots; Senior Brother Zhu Yao One spiritual root is 70% pure, and the other is 60% pure; senior sister Xia Yuqing, one spiritual root is 70% pure, and the other is 50% pure.
Also, since Master Xun is the peak master, the direct disciples he accepts cannot be just three spiritual roots, even if the spiritual roots are quite pure. Otherwise, wouldn't he be defeated when fighting against other peak masters? Even those disciples who were abandoned before still have dual spiritual roots.
Master Xun did not blame Ruan Hongyi too much. He only handed Yan Changlan a sign and said: "This is the Dharma-choosing Pass token. Changlan, take it and go to the Chuan Gong Pavilion, and you can choose the method to practice. It's just that the techniques there cannot be taken out. You can only record the techniques and take them away within the five hours allowed by the token. You must also be careful when choosing. This token only allows you to choose exercises, body techniques, and spells. Don't be greedy for too many of the three disciplines such as swordsmanship, swordsmanship or other miscellaneous studies. Remember, you can't be too casual about the skills you choose, because if you want to choose a method again in the future, you have to add the skills you chose before. Practice several techniques, and at least you must be quite proficient before you can choose again, otherwise if you learn too poorly, you will not be able to choose again."
Yan Changlan naturally agreed quickly: "Disciple knows, please rest assured, Master."
Next, Master Xun gave instructions on the spells of three other disciples before letting them retreat.
After Yan Changlan left, he went directly to the Chuan Gong Pavilion. After some selection, he chose two sword techniques and one body technique. As for the other techniques, he turned a blind eye.
After choosing the method, Yan Changlan returned to his residence for retreat.
Xiao Ming and Wang Min were busy understanding the complicated situation inside and outside the Qixiao Sect, and also wanted to find out the information and sort out the details needed to survive here. They could answer Yan Changlan's questions at any time after he came out of seclusion. .
Just these chores kept the two of them so busy that they could only practice at night, and just this night, the two of them practiced much faster than before.
Both of them have great ambitions. Xiao Ming only feels that if he can gain a foothold here, he will be of endless benefit to the Xiao family in the future. Wang Min, on the other hand, stroked the scars on his face and showed a faint smile - she Now she is very lucky that she was able to make a decisive decision.
·
Yan Changlan stayed in seclusion for more than a month.
When he was in retreat, his fellow disciples would come over occasionally, hoping to find him and establish friendship with fellow disciples. However, every time they came, Yan Changlan was in retreat. Zhu Yao and Xia Yuqing were just amused, but at the same time they admired the diligence of this third junior brother. . The younger junior sister Ruan Hongyi was not very happy. She just felt that these three senior brothers were too boring and did not look like teenagers who were half a year younger than her.
After Yan Changlan came out of seclusion, Wang Min reported: "Big..." She paused. In this Qixiao Sect, you can't make a mistake, so she immediately changed her name and said, "Sir, several of your fellow disciples are here to visit, Junior Brother Xiao. Currently entertaining.”
Yan Changlan nodded slightly: "Take me there, don't neglect."
Wang Min responded quickly and brought Yan Changlan to the guest room.
There, Xiao Ming had already prepared fragrant tea and fruits, and was standing aside to accompany the guests.
Zhu Yao, Xia Yuqing and Ruan Hongyi were all here, sitting on the round stools around the round table, looking at Yan Changlan with smiles.
Yan Changlan immediately greeted: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, and Little Junior Sister."
Zhu Yao and others also greeted him quickly.
Xia Yuqing smiled and said: "Third junior brother entered the school not long ago, and has been in seclusion since he arrived. It's easy to come out today, why don't we go for a walk under the mountain with a few of our disciples?"
Hearing this, Yan Changlan was about to decline, but he suddenly remembered that during these days apart, his best friend A Zhuo might have arrived in Jiutai City? If he doesn't go out, how can we find him?
Thinking of this, Yan Changlan started to look forward to going down the mountain, so he nodded: "That's fine, thank you for your care."
