In the following time, the most important thing for Qian Chao and the five people is Yanxuan's apprenticeship ceremony.
Tang Ping and Yan Xuan are the best friends, so they naturally want to help in such an important matter, and so do the others.
However, there is not much that a few people can do to help, mainly because there are so many people working on this matter together. After spending a day in Qixia Mountain, they felt that they could not help and they felt that they were in the way. Later, Yanxuan He asked several people to go back, leaving only Tang Ping.
Senior Zhong Yao also has two senior brothers from the same sect in Qixia Mountain. Her senior brother is named Li Yun, and there is another senior brother named Lou Ga. In fact, in addition to these two elders, senior Zhong Yao originally had other senior brothers. , but as the youngest among her fellow disciples, she has now formed elixirs to accept her own disciples. Then, except for Li Yun and Lou Ga, her other senior brothers have exhausted their lifespan because they have not been able to form elixirs. , eventually passed away.
Among the two senior brothers of Zhong, Li Yun has the greatest reputation in Wuling Sect. Not only in Wuling Sect, but also in the entire Central Continent, Li Yun's reputation is widely known to the monks. This elder Li has always been quiet and rarely Walking in the world of practice, he showed his talents in several conflicts between Wuling Sect and other sects. He has exquisite and terrifying fire control skills. When facing the enemy, the stars are like rain, and the ground flames are like sea. His soul was filled with fear and he made a lot of contributions to the Five Spirits Sect. Although Senior Li is not good at alchemy, or is not proficient in alchemy, he is the one who makes the decision on all matters in Qixia Mountain, which is famous for its alchemy, so he is considered a highly prestigious figure in the sect.
Although that Lou Ga is less famous than Li Yun, he is also an elder with profound cultivation. This elder Lou has a steady personality. He usually practices hard in the cave or instructs his disciples to practice. He has the most disciples among the alchemy monks in Qixia Mountain, and he is also good at preaching and teaching disciples. Under his guidance, his disciples have all established foundations, and many of them have become independent talents in the sect. Therefore, this Lou The elder is also a senior person who is respected by everyone.
Of course, Li Yun also had his own disciples. In addition, his granddaughter was practicing beside him. As mentioned in the previous article, it was Senior Sister Cui Yin who had fought with Qian Chao and others many times.
His junior sister opened the door to accept a disciple, and she was also the top disciple. As fellow seniors, Li Yun and Lou Ji naturally regarded this as a big deal, so all the affairs were basically taken over by these two disciples. There were many people and many things. Naturally easy to handle.
Even if Tang Ping stayed, there wouldn't be much she could do to help, but she just seemed to be joining in the fun, so Tang Ping accepted the task of writing invitations.
But after patiently writing a few invitations, Tang Ping gave up. It wasn't that she was lazy, but that although her handwriting was good, these invitations had to be sent to the invited seniors. The list of invitations was drawn up by Elder Li Yun. Naturally, they were all high-status people in the sect. Thinking of this, Tang Ping felt a little guilty. She was worried that her handwriting was not good, that she would make a joke, and that people would underestimate Sister Yan's apprenticeship. Gift, and then she remembered Qian Chaolai. Qian's calligraphy with silver hooks and iron strokes was much better than hers, so she said hello and came to Qian Chao with those blank invitations.
When Tang Ping landed above Qian Chao's house, he saw two people in the courtyard. Qian Chao was sitting in a small pavilion in the courtyard, writing and drawing, and the other person was Lu Pingchuan. He didn't know what he was busy with. .
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
"Hey, Sister Tang, Brother Qian said that he wants to refine a good alchemy furnace for Sister Yan, and I'm here to help."
Lu Pingchuan said with a smile. There was a large black thing in front of him that looked like a stone mortar. He was holding an iron pestle and pounding it hard, making bursts of "rustling" sounds.
"You don't know how to refine weapons, how can you help?"
"Hehe, I don't know how to refine weapons, but I can still do some strenuous work."
Qian Chao stopped writing and asked:
"Aren't you helping Sister Yan? Why did you come to me again?"
"What is this?" Tang Ping glanced at the paper on Qian Chao's desk, "Is it an alchemy furnace?"
"Yes, it's the alchemy furnace." Qian Chao looked at the pattern of the alchemy furnace he drew. "Lei Xian's "Alchemy Cleansing Record" is really a wonderful book. After reading it, I benefited a lot. This alchemy furnace I designed the design based on the method and pattern of the alchemy furnace refining in that book. This time, I have all the materials, including Lingworm mud and Yunlan stone. I am not boasting, but the refined product will definitely be a good product, Yan Sister will definitely be satisfied."
Lei Xian is the casual cultivator who was helped by Tang Ping in Ruixuan Town, and is now also a disciple of the Five Spirits. Lei Xian originally wanted to give the "Record of Cleansing Pills" to the five people as a thank you gift, but considering that the book was Lei Xian's family heirloom, so the five people rejected it, but they read the book once. With Qian Chao's memory, they turned around and copied all the elixir prescriptions and alchemy techniques in the Alchemy Cleansing Record. Yanxuan, and he had already memorized the method of refining the alchemy furnace in the "Alchemy Cleansing Record". In a few days, it would be Yanxuan's apprenticeship ceremony. Once the alchemy furnace was refined, it could be given as a gift. superior.
"Come on, your handwriting is good. This is the invitation that Senior Zhong wants to invite the seniors to attend the ceremony. My handwriting is ugly. I dare not write it after two words. You should write it."
After hearing this, Qian Chao took the thick blank invitation and a long list, and began to write calmly.
"What has Sister Yan been busy with these two days?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"Well, Sister Yan has been very busy these days, mainly because the disciples of her two uncles are teaching her various etiquette of becoming a disciple. She is the first disciple accepted by Senior Zhong, so whether it is for Sister Yan or for Senior Zhong is a big deal. Sister Yan’s great uncle is the elder Li Yun who is in charge of Qixia Mountain. He attaches great importance to the ceremony of establishing disciples of Senior Zhong. All kinds of etiquette are very troublesome, from everyone’s clothes to what Sister Yan is doing. Walking and saluting, from the arrangement of seats to the opera music played, etc., is very complicated, but fortunately there are many people to help. Those senior brothers and sisters circle around Sister Yan every day, and then they have to rehearse non-stop, ugh , it gave me a headache when I saw it, it was because it was easy for me to become a master, my sixth grandfather coaxed and lied to my master, and then I became the master’s closed disciple, ha!”
Lu Pingchuan smiled and said:
"It's easy for me to become a master. As soon as I got off the boat from Tianshui Lake, my master came to see me, hehe!"
Qian Chao couldn't help but smile when he thought of the scene where Lu Pingchuan became his apprentice, or simply when Kang Fu snatched his apprentice. It seemed that he was the most troublesome about this apprenticeship. First, he visited Yiming Pavilion three times, and then for the fourth time. I just met Mr. Zhuang and went through two school entrance examinations before I could enter the court. Even so, it could only be the actual master and apprentice but not the name of master and apprentice.
In the corner of Qian Chao's desk, there was a small butterfly. Inside was a small pile of fine white hand powder. Tang Ping saw it and asked curiously:
"Did Brother Lu do this? What is it?"
"Hey, what do you think?" Lu Pingchuan said.
Qian Chao once found an extremely beautiful blue stone, Yunlan Stone, outside the sect. He said it was going to be crushed into fine powder and used to refine the pill furnace for Yanxuan.
"Is this the Yunlan Stone?" Of course Tang Ping still remembered the beautiful stone that looked like blue crystal.
"Well, yes, it's that blue stone. Alas, when Brother Qian asked me to smash it, I was a little reluctant to part with it."
"Then, Brother Lu, what are you doing now?" Tang Ping leaned over and took a closer look.
It was not a stone mortar at all, but a black and extremely hard iron object. Under the iron pestle in Lu Pingchuan's hand, something was being pounded into the size of rice grains.
"Well, I don't know. It's also a pile of beautiful stones. Alas, it's a pity. Brother Qian said that the stones should be pounded finely, so he would have to sift them through a fine sieve several times later. He would use them when he wants to draw talismans."
"Boy Qian, will the talisman made like that be more powerful?"
"Of course." Qian Chao wrote the invitations carefully and said without raising his head.
…
After the invitations were written, there was no need for Tang Ping to send invitations to the seniors. The two senior foundation-building disciples, Li Yun and Lou Ya, would deliver the invitations.
In Shuiyun Valley, in front of a certain senior's cave.
Qiu Huahe, whom Qian Chao and others had seen at Pinghai Peak, fell from the sky with his two female disciples. Qiu Huahe's face was plain, but the faces of Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Xiu beside him were troubled. Hiding their disappointment, the three of them had just landed when a man's voice came from not far away:
"Senior Qiu."
Qiu Huahe turned around and saw a young man stepping forward and saluting him respectfully.
"Shao Min, a disciple of Elder Li Yun of Qixia Mountain, has met Senior Qiu."
"Well, okay, what's the matter?"
"My junior uncle, Senior Zhong Yao of Qixia Mountain is going to hold the ceremony of opening a mountain and accepting disciples, and I specially invite Senior Qiu to come and watch the ceremony."
After speaking, Shao Min presented the invitation with both hands.
"Well, thank you very much."
After sending Shao Min away, Qiu Huahe opened the invitation and looked at it. He was not familiar with Zhong Yao, but the ceremony of establishing a mountain and accepting disciples was a ceremony for the Danjie monk to accept the first disciple. It was very important and had to be held grandly. Some. Secondly, Qiu Huahe is also a well-known figure in the sect, so he must be included in this invitation.
After looking at the name on it, Qiu Huahe had no impression of the disciple named Yanxuan that Zhong Yao wanted to accept, so he handed it to Shangguan Hong beside him and said:
"I'm going out to the sect tomorrow. I won't go to this apprenticeship ceremony. I will prepare a congratulatory gift before I leave. You can just send it to me on my behalf."
"yes."
Shangguan Hong opened the invitation and naturally saw Yanxuan's name.
Yanxuan, Shangguan Hong would naturally recognize him. She was the girl from Qixia Mountain in a red dress who had been following Tang Ping. She didn't talk much and seemed to have a very gentle temperament. Well, her appearance was quite good. She actually became a disciple?
Moreover, he is also the senior disciple of Senior Zhong, which is good luck!
Shangguan Hong is not in a good mood now because the two sisters have been following Qiu Huahe around the outside of the sect for the past month. Naturally, what they were doing was the Qingluan egg, but after so long There was no trace of Qingluan even after Master's search. Shangguan Xiu's mouth had already become deflated. Shangguan Hong, who had always loved his sister, was naturally anxious when he saw it.
That is the egg of Qingluan, the egg of a true spirit-level spirit bird. If my sister can get that egg, it will definitely be a great help to her after it hatches. Maybe Xiu'er will have a child because of this Qingluan. There is a great future, and even the Shangguan family will benefit a lot from it. It is a pity that the egg was not found!
It wouldn't matter if only the three of them, the master and the disciple, were looking for the Qingluan egg. Anyway, it would take quite a while from the time the egg was laid until the little Qingluan hatches out. If you search slowly, you can always find it.
However, at Pinghai Peak, Shangguan Hong understood from the moment she saw Tang Ping that Tang Ping was also looking for the Qingluan egg. At first, she was extremely proud, thinking that Tang Ping came a step too late and her own Master was sure to find the precious egg on Pinghai Peak, but as a result, nothing was found on Pinghai Peak. Even though Qiu Huahe later commanded countless human-faced owl incarnations and searched the nearby mountains and rivers, he still came up empty-handed. Finally had to leave in anger. After that, Qiu Huahe took the two of them to search dozens of possible places but found nothing, so they had to return to the sect.
When the three masters and apprentices left Pinghai Peak, the complicated look in Tang Ping's eyes was deeply imprinted in Shangguanhong's heart. Shangguanhong had seen that look when she looked at herself in the mirror. She understood. Tang Ping will not give up. As long as the Qingluan egg is not found by him first, there is a risk of falling into the hands of Tang Ping. Shangguan Hong originally had a special hostility towards Tang Ping, and now he has become a competitor in the matter of Qingluan. Opponent, she even thought that she might fight with Tang Ping over the Qingluan egg!
"There's no rush," Qiu Huahe said after noticing Shangguan Xiu's expression, "If you can't find it for me, it will be even harder for others to find it. When Master comes back, I will definitely find the Qingluan egg for you. Don't worry." .”
"Yeah." Shangguan Xiu nodded.
…
Also receiving invitations were many Dan Dan seniors.
Tang Bonian must attend. After all, he was the one who brought Yanxuan back to the sect during the first selection, and when these disciples first entered the Five Spirit Sect from Youming Valley and were selected by various sects, Tang Bonian Nian also recommended Yanxuan to Zhong Yao, which was a big favor.
Among the Youminggu disciples of Qian Chao and Tang Ping, in terms of the quality of their spiritual roots, Lu Pingchuan was firmly ranked first because of his rare and excellent quality soil spiritual roots, and then he should be Yanxuan With such qualifications, although Yanxuan is not the only one with good spiritual root qualifications, firstly, there are not many of them. Secondly, Yanxuan has good quality fire spiritual roots, which is most suitable for Qixia Mountain. From this point of view, Zhong Yao does lack Tang Bonian was a favor, so Tang Bonian would definitely go to Zhong Yao's opening ceremony to have a good time.
Senior Gu Huo also received the invitation. Generally speaking, she has no interest in such things. She usually just sends her apprentices to take her place. However, no one would say that Senior Gu Huo is arrogant or cold-hearted. After all, the identity of Fairy Gu Huo is The sect is already very transcendent. Regardless of her advanced level of cultivation and the many contributions she has made for the sect in the past, among the monks who have formed pills, people have determined that the next one can break through the shackles of pill formation and advance to Yuan. The young monk is probably the Guhuo fairy, so even if she is a little more arrogant, there is nothing wrong with her.
However, considering that Yanxuan is a good sister of his precious apprentice after all, Guhuo took the invitation and looked at it, and without Tang Ping's persuasion, he made up his mind to bring the gift and go with Tang Ping.
Senior Kang Fu didn't need to ask. Firstly, he knew that Yanxuan was good friends with his disciples, and secondly, he liked to join in the fun, so he would definitely go.
The last thing I want to talk about is Mu Xiufeng’s senior Leng Yue. She sent away the person who sent the invitation and looked at it. Yanxuan seemed to have heard of this name sometime. Well, I remembered it. It was at Li Jian’s residence. , that time Li Jian suffered some injuries outside. When she got there, she saw a little girl in a red dress leaving. That was Yanxuan. It was the little girl who treated Li Jian's injuries. I heard Li Jian said that he There are four good friends who hang out together all the time, and one of them is Yanxuan.
Senior Leng had long regarded Li Jian as his disciple. After remembering Yanxuan, he gave up the idea of just sending someone a gift. Since he was Li Jian's friend, he should go there in person. Because of that girl Yunxi’s troubles and the random interference of those unrelated people in Mu Xiufeng, Senior Leng’s acceptance of Li Jian as his disciple was postponed until after the Cheng Guan En Examination. She was angry, and I’m afraid Li Jian’s heart was She was even more angry and resentful, so he had to go to his friend's apprenticeship ceremony. As long as Li Jian saw her there, he would have understood that her intention to accept a disciple had not changed.
…
Qixia Mountain is also considered a strange sect in the sect. Although it has more people than Muxiufeng and Houtu Temple, and is only about the same as Shuiyun Valley, it is naturally much smaller than Jiuxuan. The reason why Qixia Mountain is strange is that according to the division of "Zong", "Sect" and "Sect", Qixia Mountain is actually divided into two sects. The simplest distinction is that one sect practices alchemy and the other does not. It is said that a long time ago, they were as distinct as the Water Cloud Valley. But later, a genius-like figure appeared in Qixia Mountain. He not only had the ability to control fire that no one could match, but also could refine elixirs that were rare in the world. After this senior broke through the Nascent Soul and set foot on Yuhu Mountain, The differences between the two factions in Qixia Mountain have become increasingly blurred, and now no one in Qixia Mountain mentions these two factions at all.
Most of the disciples and monks in Qixia Mountain are studying alchemy, and many masters of alchemy have emerged. Therefore, Qixia Mountain is famous for its alchemy skills in the cultivation world. However, there are still some people in Qixia Mountain who do not practice alchemy and only use alchemy. He has devoted his whole life's energy and efforts to the art of controlling fire, ensuring the purity and power of the flames when facing the enemy, just like Li Yun, or the master Zhong Yao whom Yan Xuan wants to worship. Although Qixia Mountain is famous for its alchemy, the person in charge, Elder Li Yun, knows nothing about alchemy. This is the strange thing about Qixia Mountain.
Of course, only those outside Qixia Mountain would find this strange, but ordinary Qixia Mountain disciples would find it very natural. These days, many disciples in Qixia Mountain have heard the news: Senior Zhong Yao is opening a mountain gate to accept disciples. Because this is the first disciple that Senior Zhong has accepted, which is also commonly known as the top disciple, many elders in Qixia Mountain attach great importance to it. Senior Jiedan’s acceptance of a disciple not only means passing on his knowledge and methods, etc. , and more importantly: accepting and teaching disciples means that this monk begins to train the next generation of monks for Qixia Mountain or for the Wuling Sect, which is beneficial to both the sect and Qixia Mountain.
Therefore, in the Wuling Sect, the opening ceremony of a monk who has formed an elixir for accepting a disciple for the first time must be done with splendor.
Many qi-refining disciples in Qixia Mountain know Yanxuan's name. Among other things, Yanshuang encountered trouble twice, and it is said that both were very dangerous. Later rumors mentioned that a junior sister Yanxuan from Qixia Mountain was also involved. Among them, although Yanxuan's name is not as loud as Qian Chao's, he has become a well-known disciple in Qixia Mountain. Therefore, when they knew that the disciple that senior Zhong Yao wanted to accept was Yanxuan, the refiners in Qixia Mountain The Qi disciples were not very surprised.
Min'e was very happy after learning the news that Yanxuan was going to become a disciple. She had a very good relationship with Yanxuan, so she took the initiative to find Yanxuan and worked together with him.
Of course, not everyone is happy for Yanxuan. Yanxuan doesn't have many friends in Qixia Mountain on weekdays. His best friend is almost Senior Sister Min. After hearing the news that she was going to become a disciple, the other disciples were either very envious or very jealous. Even if it's plain, there are naturally some people who are very jealous.
There is also the last person, the fact that Yanxuan is about to become a disciple makes him have mixed emotions, and it can even be said that his heart is boiling!
This person is Qin Suijie!
