The five people's night talk ended before midnight. After all, it was in the sect. It was not appropriate for five young men and women to spend the night together. Therefore, under Tang Ping's suggestion, everyone left Qian Chao's residence one after another. Of course, Lu Pingchuan was too lazy to go back so late, so he slept at Qian Chao's residence.
Before leaving, Yanxuan suddenly remembered something, and quickly called Qian Chao, then very carefully took out two small jade bottles from his body, handed them to Qian Chao's hands very carefully, and said:
"Brother Qian, this time we are going to deal with Wen Liang. Brother Lu found it from the storage bags of those casual cultivators and gave it to me afterwards. I didn't know what it was at first. I asked several senior brothers and sisters in Qixia Mountain for advice. You know, it turns out that they are all rare spiritual grass seeds. The one in this bottle is a seed of Jiangxiangcao, and the one in this bottle is two seeds of Seven Sons of Angelica dahurica. They are both very rare and rare. The medicine planted in my master's cave Of course you can do it in the garden, but I don’t know when it will grow, so why not..."
Qian Chao reached out and took the two small bottles and said:
"Leave it to me, but since there are so few seeds, why not take the spiritual grass at first, but continue to let it bloom and bear fruit, and then we can collect the spiritual grass when there are more seeds, how about that?"
"So much the better."
Curling Vine Flower, Crimson Immortal Grass, Youdi Lotus, Seven-Son Angelica Angelica and Corian Lotus Grass, these are the five main spiritual herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Among them, Curling Vine Flower was obtained when the five people went out for the first time on the third level of Qi Refining. The five people also found the Coriander Grass from a place where a large scorpion called "Secret Land Tiger" lives when they were adventuring in Pipa Ridge. Now they also found the seeds of the Crimson Immortal Grass and the Seven Son Angelica. With the help of Qian Chao's formation can speed up the growth of spiritual grass. It won't take long for Yanxuan to collect a lot of these two precious spiritual grasses. In this way, the only thing missing for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is the Dark Earth Lotus.
"Sister Yan, don't you have other spiritual grass seeds? Give them all to him!" Tang Ping suddenly said from the side.
For some reason, Yanxuan Jiang Ran was a little embarrassed and even a little bit shy. Tang Ping was a little angry when he saw it. He stretched out his hand and asked for a small wooden box from Yanxuan, and then pulled Qian Chao's wrist and made a "snap" sound. He slapped the wooden box into Qian Chao's hand. With this slap, the wooden box made a "squeaking" sound.
"Boy Qian, here are the spiritual grass seeds for refining the Beauty Pill and the Nourishment Pill. Plant them quickly. Sister Yan wants to use them to refine the pills. I don't want to turn into a yellow-faced old woman in the future!"
…
In the following days, the five people stayed in the sect and sometimes practiced together.
Just before the five people were about to go out again, Tang Ping suddenly came to see Qian Chao.
"Hey, Mr. Qian, someone from the sect will be arriving tomorrow. How about we go to Tianshui Lake to have a look?"
Qian Chao's mind was still stuck on the book on his desk, so he asked casually:
"Who's coming?"
"Of course they are from Lion Forest, Meng Cailou and the other four sects."
"Oh, are you here so soon?" Qian Chao then remembered what Tang Ping said a few nights ago.
"Not all of them have arrived. Only the people from Shizilin and Mengcailou will arrive tomorrow. They are close, so they arrived early. However, Jiugenyuan and Motianya are far away, and it will take a while for their people to arrive. .”
"What's there to see? They're just Qi refining disciples from other sects." Qian Chao said and looked at the pages on his desk again.
Tang Ping was so angry that she reached out and covered Qian Chao's book and said:
"Don't think about it. The ones who will challenge them will also be the Qi Refining disciples in the sect. Who knows who the old guys in the meeting hall want to stay in our sect. The five of you and me are still the top of the Qi Refining disciples. I might ask you to compete on stage when the time comes. If you lose, won’t you be embarrassed in front of everyone?”
Qian Chao raised his eyes, smiled slightly, and said:
"Status belongs to status. After all, the five of us are at the middle level of Qi refining. It is impossible for our turn to be our turn. There are so many skilled brothers and sisters in the sect. How could the elders of the council choose us to take the stage, unless it is not the case? I would like to keep them.”
"Who says it's impossible...Hey, are you going or not?"
"Go, go, why don't you go if there's a lot of fun there." Qian Chao said helplessly.
…
The next day, in the morning, by Tianshui Lake.
When Qian Chao arrived, the place by the lake was already crowded. It was just as lively as when Yan Shuang entered the Five Spirits Sect. Many of the Five Spirits disciples did not know why these disciples from Shizilin and Meng Cailou came to the Five Spirits Sect. Why? I just thought that those people were here to grab the rare opportunity to become a disciple. They crowded around the lake and complained one after another.
"Hey, Brother Qian is here, Brother Qian! This way, this way!"
Just when Qian Chao raised his eyes to look for his friends, a loud voice shouted. It was Lu Pingchuan's voice. He looked over following the voice and saw Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian who had been together for a long time. The four of them, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, happened to be in the same place where they last saw Yan Shuang enter the Five Spirits Sect.
Qian Chao walked over and said:
"Why do I feel like the sect doesn't pay much attention to the people coming from Lion Forest and Meng Cailou? Looking at the scene, I checked a lot more than when Senior Sister Yan Shuang entered the Five Spirits Sect last time."
Indeed, as Qian Chao said, there are quite a few disciples of the Five Spirits watching near the small pier by Tianshui Lake, but there are not many elders of the sect standing at the pier to greet them. Compared with the large number of sects last time, Neijiedan elders were waiting in line near the pier in solemn and elegant attire. Although there were elders from the sect waiting on the pier this time, the number of them was much lower, only a dozen or so, and those people They also gathered together and chatted casually while waiting.
"How can they compare with Senior Sister Yan Shuang," Tang Ping said. "Senior Sister Yan Shuang came to sign an alliance with the Wuling Sect on behalf of Jiu Genyuan. That was the first time that our Wuling Sect formed an alliance with other major sects. , the sect naturally attaches great importance to it. Now, those two sects are here to express their surrender. It is enough for the sect to send some elders to greet them politely, but when the people from Jiugenyuan arrive in a few days, , it is estimated that the specifications to welcome them will be more grand, after all, they are allies."
Yanxuan said:
"I really don't know what kind of people are here and what methods they have."
Lu Pingchuan chuckled and said:
"Well, I really want to have a fight with those boys from other sects to see what their methods are like?"
Tang Ping said:
"They are all Qi Refining disciples, and their cultivation is there. Even if their methods are good, how good can they be? They are just disciples of the outer sect. There may be some methods that we have not seen before. They are nothing more than novelties. To put it simply, I don’t know how powerful they are.”
Qian Chao suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Wen Liang was on the day Yan Shuang entered the Five Spirits Sect, and it was also at the edge of Tianshui Lake. Unknowingly, an unknown amount of time had passed, and in between Too many things had happened. When he thought of this, his heart moved. He looked around, but after looking around for a few times, all he could see was a dark crowd. Thinking that Yan Jing was dead and Wen Liang trapped himself in a cold pool, it was naturally impossible for him to be there. Here we saw the gray-haired figure again, but Qian Chao felt that the next time he saw Wen Liangzhi, it would be time to capture him and hand him over to the sect for trial.
"I'm coming."
As many onlookers of the Five Spirits disciples started making noises, it turned out that two boats were seen going upstream in the winding river flowing out of Tianshui Lake.
The two boats were not big, and there was neither the sound of drumming nor the lively waving of colorful flags. Tang Ping squinted her eyes and looked at the boat in front for a while and said:
"Hey, the boat in front belongs to Lion Forest. Look at the flag hanging on the bow. It has a lion's head painted on it. That is their symbol. The boat behind must be from Meng Cailou."
Indeed, as Tang Ping said, the ship in front had a big flag fluttering on the bow mast, with a ferocious and roaring lion embroidered on it, while the flag on the bow of the ship behind was undoubtedly Meng Cailou. What is hanging is a flower flag, and the flag is actually filled with flowers. I think this must be the symbol of Meng Cailou. Because the two ships sailed into the Five Spirit Sect, people from both sects were already standing on the ship. When they saw the elders of the Five Spirit Sect waiting on the dock, they started to salute from a distance.
The boat from Lion Forest docked first, and the first people to get off the boat should be the distinguished people in Lion Forest. After getting off the boat, they saluted and greeted the elders of the Wuling Sect waiting on the dock one by one, and then walked off the boat. Many young disciples, about a dozen of them, after disembarking from the boat, led by the elders of Lion Forest, saluted the elders of the Five Spirit Sect. Among them, the most eye-catching ones and the ones who caught the attention of Qian Chao and the other three were three. , the first one was a woman, with a tall and slender figure. When she got off the boat, she was wearing a purple gold-embroidered cloak. She didn't even take off her hood, which covered her face. She only took off the hood before saluting. She took off her hair and scattered it behind her head. She turned out to be a beautiful woman with hair like a waterfall and skin as good as snow, which attracted the admiration of the disciples of the Wuling Sect who were watching. The expression of this goddess had always been calm and indifferent. After bowing, she stood calmly, completely ignoring her surroundings. The noise of the disciples of the Five Spirits; the second one was a tall and straight young man, dressed in a luxurious green shirt, and holding an exquisite folding fan in his hand. Although this person looked good and was somewhat handsome, but when he walked There is always a sense of frivolity and frivolity, which makes people unhappy. Especially when this person got off the boat and saw the situation on the small pier, he was obviously a little unhappy, for some reason; the third one was an obviously short boy, well, Judging from the stature, this person is half a head shorter than Qian Chao, and his appearance is also ordinary. The reason why Qian Chao and others caught the attention of this person is his eyes, not that this person's eyes are so sharp. But this person's eyes were gleaming as he looked around as soon as he got out of the cabin, and after he got off the boat and saluted, his head kept turning around and looking around.
Immediately after Shizilin's boat left the dock, the people on Meng Cailou's boat also disembarked one after another after the boat docked at the dock.
The man who still looked like an elder got off the boat first to salute and exchange greetings. At the same time, the people on the boat stepped onto the small pier one after another.
Meng Cailou had about a dozen disciples. Well, coincidentally, three of them attracted Qian Chao and the other five to look at them a few times.
The first one was a man with a slightly dark complexion. He was wearing a navy blue robe and had a strong build. What made people notice was that this man had a look of disdain after he walked out of the cabin, especially when he stood on the boat and scanned the dark sea on the shore. When he saw a group of Five Spirit disciples, his disdainful expression became even more prominent; the second one was a young man dressed in white, with a slender figure and a carefree gait, and his fair face and facial features seemed to have been carefully carved. He looked extraordinarily delicate, with his oily hair pinned up by a hosta. If you didn't look closely, people would just think that he was a woman dressed in men's clothing, and she was also a beauty. In fact, he was a handsome man with a beautiful face. This person has been very popular ever since he appeared. He was calm and unhurried. For this reason, Tang Ping couldn't help but say "What a beautiful man" while staring at the other party closely, while Lu Pingchuan said "Why is he such a pretty boy"; the third one also said A woman, this woman has a slim figure. When she walked out of the cabin, she was wearing a red cloak embroidered with flowers. She did not wear a hood, and her dark cloud-like hair was tied into a bun with a gorgeous hairpin. She walks with a dignified manner and even wears a jingle ring. This woman is also a beauty with bright eyes and white teeth, but she is different from the woman in the lion forest who is wearing a purple cloak. The woman in the lion forest has thin eyebrows and eyes, and is as calm as Xiaojiabiyu. Tranquil, and the beauty from Meng Cailou, with dark eyebrows and phoenix eyes, peach cheeks and red lips, is even more graceful and luxurious. This is not just about the difference in clothing between the two women, but also in appearance and temperament.
By this time, many Five Spirits disciples who knew the inside story had begun to discuss, saying that it didn't matter whether the men stayed or not, but those two beauties must stay in the Five Spirits Sect.
Well, let me say one more thing here. The key reason why these six people attracted the attention of Qian Chao and the five people is that regardless of their luxurious clothes or extraordinary temperament, these people all came to Wuling Sect to accept the challenge. If they were The Five Spirits Sect has taken a liking to them, and of course it is not them themselves but the elders behind them, so the Five Spirits Sect will definitely find a way to keep them, which is equivalent to becoming hostages in disguise. A total of nearly thirty disciples from the two sects got off the boat. No matter how arrogant these people were in their respective sects, now that they were here, their momentum was naturally a bit lower. Even when they walked out When the cabin saw the magnificent scene of the Wuling Sect and the sea of people by the lake, some people had solemn faces, some were frowning, and some even looked fearful. However, only the six people who were noticed by Qian Chao and the five others, they No matter what their expressions were, at least they were at ease with what was happening in front of them. Even though the short young man had been wandering around a lot, he seemed to be just curious, but not at all afraid.
At least it shows that if these six are not used to big scenes, they must be people from the city, or both.
This less grand but very lively welcoming ceremony was almost over. The elders responsible for the reception in the sect should lead these people away from the dock to meet other elders in the sect. In the process, Qian Chao noticed something unusual. There were actually several young Qi-refining disciples in the sect who not only came over, but were also very familiar with them. They laughed and chatted with several disciples from Lion Grove and Meng Cailou. Seeing their It almost looked like he didn't pay any attention to the Danjie seniors present.
And the people talking to these Five Spirit disciples were actually the six people who had been followed by Qian Chao and the other five!
Disciples from different sects met like old friends they had not seen for many times, talking and laughing. Even the quiet woman in the purple cloak had a faint smile on her face.
This seems a bit unusual.
Qian Chao asked curiously:
"Who are those people? I mean those disciples within the sect."
Of course the person asking the question was Tang Ping. She also saw what happened there, sighed softly and said:
"Do you still remember what I once said, that in front of Lin Jian, my identity is not considered a sect's dandy?"
"Yeah, remember."
"Lin Jian probably didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of those people. He could only lower his eyebrows and obey their gaze. Those people are the real dandies of our Wuling Sect, and he can talk to them happily. I think those people must be The real dandy in the Lion Grove and Meng Cai Tower!"
"Oh?" After Tang Ping said this, Qian Chao became even more curious. After all, he didn't know much about the so-called dandies in the sect, so he asked, "Who are those people?"
"Zong Xi, Huan Chan, Feng You, Zhang Yi, Jing Jie," Tang Ping looked over and said a few names, and then motioned to several friends to look at the tallest and thinnest young man in the middle. The tallest one is Zong Xi. His grandfather and father are both on Yuhu Mountain. His mother is also about to break through the Nascent Soul. It is said that she is in retreat. People say that when Zong Xi's mother breaks through the barrier, Our Wuling Sect will almost have one more powerful monk at the Nascent Soul level. With this background, it stands to reason that Zong Xi should improve his cultivation rapidly. His qualifications are said to be good, but in fact Zong Xi But he is a somewhat idle person. He usually idles around but refuses to work hard in cultivation. He hangs out with the few people around him all day long. Of course, those few people are also of extraordinary background, although they are weaker than Zong Xi. , but in the sect, none of their backgrounds are inferior to Lin Jian. They are all dandies that ordinary disciples dare not provoke. Of course, those people are completely different from Bai Lin, so they are too lazy to associate with ordinary disciples. They only interact with ordinary disciples. People with similar identities come and go, which is why it is rare to hear about what they have done.”
"They're just a bunch of young masters!" Lu Pingchuan said nonchalantly.
"It's not that simple..." Tang Ping said.
Qian Chao, on the other hand, stared thoughtfully at the top dandies in the sect.
