"Haha, you little girl, you practiced well just now, why are you so timid now?" A gentle voice fell into Yanxuan's ears.

By the light of the fire on the knife, Yanxuan saw the man's face clearly, and was so frightened that he immediately put away the fire knife and saluted.

"Disciple has met Senior Zhong."

"Get up."

The Yanxuan who came here naturally recognized him. It was the senior Zhong who first found him in the crowd when he first joined the sect and was choosing his disciples. He took his hand and asked him if he wanted to come to Qixia Mountain. , Yanxuan didn't know this senior's name before, but she naturally knew it after a long time. She didn't expect to meet this senior here tonight.

Senior Zhong’s real name is Zhong Yao, and he is an alchemy monk who specializes in fire magic in Qixia Mountain. He returned to his cave this night and passed by this place. Unexpectedly, he saw a disciple below practicing the Phoenix Feather Fire Sword Technique, so he reluctantly I couldn't help but stop and take a look. Unexpectedly, the more I watched, the more interested I became. The little guy obviously didn't have a high level of cultivation, and he was unfamiliar with the Feng Ling knife dance. However, the quality of the fire knife that came from his own body was very good. That's right. From this, this child must have good spiritual roots. In time, he should have some achievements in this fire method.

In this way, Senior Zhong still had some love for talents, so he lowered his body and watched Yanxuan dance the flaming sword. Yanxuan was also thinking about something, so he didn't notice Zhong until he stopped. Senior is looking at her.

After seeing Yanxuan's face clearly, Senior Zhong recognized Yanxuan. He couldn't help but was stunned and said with some regret: "It turns out to be you. I heard that you have been refining elixirs. I didn't expect your Phoenix Feather Fire." The sword actually has some appearance, which is quite good. It seems that he has never slacked off in the master's sect."

"Senior, you are ridiculous. I have been practicing the art of alchemy before, but now I am still at the third level of Qi refining. If I want to go out to do things, I naturally have to learn some magic skills. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move outside. I was seen by senior today. , it’s the junior who has made a fool of himself, but I still need to ask Senior Zhong to give me some advice.”

This Senior Zhong, Yan Xuan has heard his name for a long time in Qixia Mountain. It is said that this Senior Zhong has not been forming elixirs for a long time, but he has become a "Fire Phoenix" in the spiritual world with his pure fire magic. "Fairy", some people also call her "Fairy Zhongfeng". If I can get some advice from this senior, I will definitely benefit from the improvement of my spell cultivation.

Tonight can be regarded as Yanxuan's fate. Speaking of which, Senior Zhong was a little moved when he learned from Tang Bonian that this little girl's spiritual root qualification turned out to be a high-quality fire spiritual root. Yan Xuan was found in the crowd. Seeing that the girl had an unparalleled beauty and a gentle and amiable personality, he had some intention of taking her into his sect.

You must know that Senior Zhong has not only formed elixirs for a long time, but has been focusing on cultivation, so he is empty and has not accepted any disciples. If Yan Xuan is included in the door wall, then Yan Xuan can still be regarded as the top disciple of Senior Zhong.

However, Senior Zhong inquired several times and learned that this girl named Yanxuan had been working hard on alchemy, and later he also found out that this girl had made some progress in alchemy, not to mention those who entered Qixia together. A disciple of Qixia Mountain, even among the early batch of disciples who entered Qixia Mountain, he is considered to be one of the more outstanding ones. I think this child will definitely achieve success in alchemy in the future. It is a pity that although Senior Zhong is an expert in fire techniques, However, in terms of alchemy, he was mediocre and even somewhat incompetent. Thinking of this, Senior Zhong could only give up with some regret.

I didn’t expect that the little guy I saw tonight who used the Feng Ling Fire Knife so well was actually this little girl!

"Well, your fire sword skills are somewhat impressive. Apart from this, do you know anything else?"

Senior Zhong asked.

"Apart from the Fire Sword Technique, the only other disciple who knows is the Phoenix Breath Technique. Well, I learned it all by myself from the books, and I am not very good at it."

"Then use it and let me see it."

Although Yanxuan had just returned from outside the sect in the evening and was already a little tired. In addition, he was even more tired just now as he was practicing the fire knife technique while thinking about his thoughts. However, it was a rare opportunity to reveal his magic in front of such a senior who had formed a core. Since you are allowed to use the Phoenix Breath Technique, there must be some teachings after using it. This opportunity must not be missed.

"Yes, please give me some advice, senior."

Then in the eyes of the Fire Phoenix Fairy, after the girl puffed her cheeks and pursed her lips, with a faint sound of phoenix chirping, a bright red flame was blown out by the little girl.

It was obvious that this little girl was a little tired. Although she tried her best, Senior Zhong could tell at a glance.

But that wasn't what made Senior Zhong care about. The faint sound of phoenix chirping was what really moved her!

Ordinary disciples, including Senior Zhong himself, practiced the Phoenix Breath Technique when he was at Yanxuan's cultivation level. No matter how full the spiritual energy in his body was, or how skillfully he used the technique, the flames of the Phoenix Breath Technique would only need to be blown once. When it came out, there was only the sound of whirring flames piercing the air. Senior Zhong himself was close to the advanced level of Qi refining back then. He didn't know how many times he used the Phoenix Breath Technique before he could faintly hear the phoenix breath. The sound of the phoenix that accompanies the breathing technique indicates that this technique is close to success.

Listening to what this girl just said, she must not have been practicing the Phoenix Breath Technique every day. Besides, looking at her cultivation level... Senior Zhong couldn't help but ask: "Have you been practicing the Phoenix Breath Technique for a long time? ?”

"Senior, no," Yanxuan replied honestly, "Speaking of which, before the last immortal fishing, I had to learn it as a last resort in order to deal with the monkeys coming down from Yuhu Mountain. Well, it hasn't been long since today."

Last fairy fishing? It’s just been a few months!

I never expected that this kid would have such a talent in the art of fire! Thinking of this, an idea that the Fire Phoenix Fairy had long given up came into play again.

If you can take this girl under your wing and train her carefully, she will become a rare talent!

It's just that this child is practicing alchemy after all, and I can give her too little in that alchemy skill, alas!

Anyway, since I can see him today, he is destined to be this child. Although it is not suitable to be a disciple, it is always possible to give this child some guidance and gain something.

"Your phoenix breath technique and phoenix feather sword dance are both pretty good. Well, now that I've seen your skills today, I'll give you some pointers."

Yanxuan was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him quickly.

"Your Feng Ling Sword Dance only uses what you learned in the first chapter, right?"

Yanxuan quickly nodded in agreement.

"Actually, with your qualifications in Feng Ling Sword Dance, you should be able to dance with two swords at once. Watch!"

After saying that, I saw that the Fire Phoenix Fairy did not make any move. There was a long flame knife stretched out in each hand. Although the length was basically the same as the one used by Yanxuan before, the brightness of the fire knife was even more red. It was incomparable, and the heat wave was even more scorching. Even if Yanxuan used the fire avoidance technique, he had to take a few steps back before he could bear it.

The two swords danced together, which was more powerful than a single sword. The same spell was really tangible when Fairy Fire Phoenix used it. The sharp sword light was splashed around in a continuous and detailed way. Yanxuan watched it intently and elated. , I didn’t expect that Feng Ling Dao Wu could be used like this.

In fact, the Fire Phoenix Fairy used this method and her own cultivation level, let alone less than one in a hundred, less than one in a thousand, and even far less than one in ten thousand. But if not, even Yan Xuantou Even if her body is covered with eyes, she can't keep up with her body shape and sword skills.

Senior Zhong danced for a while, and suddenly the two swords were placed in front of him. The two fire knives clinked like steel swords, and then the two swords crossed and slashed out. Before the light and fire of the swords faded away, I saw a stream of flames spurting out from Senior Zhong's mouth. Feng Ling Dao Wu and the Phoenix Breath Technique were actually used together. Although there was a slight sequence, if they really faced the enemy, this chain of momentum would probably cause the opponent to It was irresistible. This scene really fascinated Yanxuan.

"do you understand?"

After withdrawing the spell, Senior Zhong looked at Yanxuan and found that the little girl was still a little dazed, so he asked her aloud.

"Thank you, senior." Yanxuan was so happy that he knelt down and thanked him.

"Well, remember, the spells are not unrelated. You learn them one by one, but they have to be used together. When facing the enemy, they are fired out in succession without giving the opponent a chance to breathe. This is the fire spell. The sharpness and domineering nature of the technique."

"yes."

"Well, get up, there's no need to be so polite."

However, Yanxuan did not get up. During these days in the sect, even though Yanxuan was a bit timid in character, he was also much more mature in terms of human relations and sophistication. In addition, he also learned a lot from Tang Ping, so she also It was a blessing to my heart, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration.

Senior Zhong happened to see her practicing magic while walking at night. It would have been fine if she just took a second look and then left. She actually came down to take a closer look. Not only that, she also showed her skills first and then taught her carefully like this. This is unusual. No matter how gentle and amiable the seniors in the sect are, they don’t like to teach others tirelessly. What’s more, when I was choosing my disciples, it was this senior Zhong who came to me first. Therefore, I was very dissatisfied with this senior. Senior Zhong also has a good impression. Is it possible that things are like this today...?

Thinking about the fact that he had just made up his mind to join the disciples of a senior who specialized in fire arts, and then thinking about the reputation of Senior Zhong as the Fire Phoenix Fairy, a bold idea arose in Yanxuan's mind.

But what should we do if Senior Zhong refuses?

Forget it, even if a junior like me with a low cultivation level is rejected by a senior, it won’t be an embarrassment. What should I be afraid of! Besides, if you miss such an opportunity, you will really regret it.

With a sudden change of heart, Yanxuan knelt there and continued: "Senior, don't blame me for wishful thinking. There is something I want to explain to Senior Zhong. I have admired Senior Zhong for a long time and am eager to join Senior Zhong to listen to his teachings. If I can do so, , I will serve my seniors with all my heart, and I hope that my seniors will fulfill my wishes."

After saying that, Yanxuan bowed heavily.

"Oh?" Senior Zhong was stunned now. She didn't expect that this little girl would actually propose to become her disciple at this time. Although she had intended to accept her before, that was just before.

"It's a bit interesting that you actually want to become my disciple. However, your major is alchemy, and I have no achievements in alchemy. If you worship me, I don't have any alchemy skills." your."

"Senior, in my humble opinion, the art of alchemy is an auxiliary method for practice. Although it is important, it cannot be the main method. The reason why the disciple likes this alchemy is because the elders in the family are good at preparing pills and using them at home. The disciple has been exposed to this alchemy since he was a child. Later, when he came to the sect, he naturally felt close to this alchemy. However, the disciple recently went out twice. The experience during the period made the disciple feel that no matter how brilliant the alchemy technique is, he cannot walk outside with it. In the future, the disciple wants to travel all over the world and contribute to the sect. How can he only practice alchemy? He doesn't want to spend his whole life just refining alchemy in the sect. Therefore, he thinks that if he is destined to learn an amazing art, he has been suffering from incompetence. It’s just a sect. Today, I have been favored by my senior to teach the younger generation. The disciple is presumptuous and has the courage to ask the senior to accept the younger generation as his disciple.”

"Then if you enter my sect, what will happen to your alchemy skills?"

"Disciples cannot abandon the art of alchemy. If they are lucky enough to be accepted by their seniors, besides studying the spells taught by the master, they will naturally also work hard on alchemy. Since it is an auxiliary method, it will be a great help to those who practice it. The help will definitely be considerable, seniors, don’t worry, the disciples will definitely be able to cope with it. Moreover, people in our Qixia Mountain often say that the art of fire and alchemy also complement each other. If the fire is practiced well, it will also be beneficial to alchemy. "

"Yeah." Senior Zhong nodded when he heard this. There are many alchemy monks like her in Qixia Mountain who specialize in fire magic. Many of their disciples also learn alchemy at the same time. Thinking of this, this Fairy Fire Phoenix was a little moved.

But after all, it was just a chance encounter tonight. It would be too hasty to accept her like this. Besides, I haven't paid attention to this child for a while, and I haven't carefully examined her character. Even if It's really good. It's not at this time to accept her.

"Okay, what you said makes some sense. Speaking of which, I chose you to join the apprenticeship. I might as well tell you that your qualifications are good, and the others also caught my eye. At that time, I had the intention of accepting a disciple. But then I saw you practicing hard at alchemy, so I slowly calmed down. Now that you mentioned it today, although I am not rejecting it, I can't promise you now. However, I can give you a promise and wait for you. After passing the five levels, if you still want to join my sect, I will definitely accept you. I have never accepted a disciple. Before that, my position as the top disciple is open to you, how about it? "

Hearing this, Yanxuan was apprehensive at first and then surprised. There was basically no difference between Senior Zhong saying this and accepting her as his disciple. Moreover, he was still the top disciple of the sect. He immediately bowed down and thanked her again.

The top disciple, generally speaking, for those alchemy monks who can accept disciples, it is most important to have two disciples. One is the top disciple, and the other is the closed disciple. As the top disciple, it is natural for the master to teach. It must be taught with all the money, otherwise it will not be enough to impress the junior brothers and sisters behind; and the young apprentice who is closed must be the youngest one. The master at this time must be older and love him very much. These two are the first. , one is Wei. Although it does not mean that the other disciples are not important, in the eyes of others, only these two are the most important. For example, Tang Ping, she is even the close disciple of Fairy Guhuo, Fairy Guhuo He has already made it clear that he will no longer accept disciples from now on and will only focus on teaching Tang Ping.
