"This... a... Qian... Qian Chao wins!"
A foundation-building monk under the ring announced Qian Chao's victory in a dry voice.
But the scene was still very quiet for a while.
All the people, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Qian Chao who was still on the stage.
Especially in Chengguan Tower.
Tang Bonian, Fairy Guhuo and Kang Fu were sitting next to each other at a table. They all saw exactly what happened when Qian Chao waved his fan and knocked Bai Lin into Tianshui Lake. When they arrived, the three seniors were stunned for a while after witnessing that scene.
Tang Bonian, like Fairy Guhuo, always heard Tang Ping talk about Boy Qian's doing this and Boy Qian's doing that. But let alone Qian Boy, even the two elders of Tang Ping's methods had never seen it with their own eyes, let alone Tell me what happened to the money tide. The same is true for Kang Fu. He also heard his precious apprentice Lu Pingchuan often talk about Brother Qian. He only thought that Lu Pingchuan and Qian Chao were on good terms, but Kang Fu didn't know what Qian Chao was like.
Today, Qian Chao's battle in front of everyone in the sect had to be said to be an eye-opener for these three seniors.
In fact, it's not just these three people. The entire alchemy monks in Chengguan Tower were attracted by Qian Chao's methods, especially those Jiuxuan alchemy monks. Many of them had been attracted by the people on Yuhu Mountain. The Patriarch Mo issued a strange order, that is, they were not allowed to accept Qian Chao as a disciple. As for the reason, the Patriarch did not explain it. Many people even privately speculated and asked whether the boy named Qian Chao was related to What is the origin of Mozu, but no one can come to a conclusion after asking around, so they gave up. Today, they were all surprised when they saw Qian Chao's methods. Some Danjie elders who are proficient in weapon refining recognized Qian Chao at a glance. The fan in his hand is actually made of the feathers of the mid-level spiritual bird "Magu Sparrow". How can a Qi Refining disciple get that thing by himself? As a result, speculation about Qian Chao's identity began again.
To be honest, Qian Chao's methods must be naive and ridiculous in the eyes of the many alchemy elders in Chengguan Tower, but there is one thing. All the alchemy elders in Chengguan Tower have learned from Qi refining to foundation building and then to They have come through the process of forming pills step by step. Each of them has reached the sixth level of Qi refining. I wonder if they had the same methods that Qian Chao just showed when they were at the sixth level of Qi refining?
Of course not.
"Hehe," Kang Fu said with a smile, "Boy Qian is really good, I was shocked! What kind of cultivation level does he have, but he has such a method! It's good that Mr. Lu has such a brother beside him, eh, I’m quite happy.”
Fairy Guhuo nodded first, then shook her head, and said with a smile:
"Girl Tang always mentioned Qian Chao when she was around me. Alas, after a long time, I thought this girl had some thoughts about Qian Chao. Now it seems that Qian Chao is really extraordinary. No wonder Your granddaughter talks about it every day!"
What Tang Bonian was thinking was different from the two people in front of him. Qian Chao's method just now made him glad that he had brought this child from the Qian family to the Five Spirits Sect during the election. It was exactly what he had just seen. It reminded Tang Bonian of the child kneeling in front of him at the Prime Minister's House of Qi. Two bright and transparent eyes like paint were looking at him. He smiled slightly and secretly said that he was lucky to have brought him. Originally, he was just taking the opportunity to attack the Tian family, but unexpectedly he found a good candidate for the sect.
After listening to the words of the two people around him, Tang Bonian put his finger in the tea cup and wrote a word on the table with the tea on his fingertips, and immediately covered it with his hand.
Fairy Guhuo and Kang Fu both saw the character written by Tang Bonian, which was the character "五".
Five what?
Of course he is the Fifth Patriarch.
The legend of the Five Ancestors told by Patriarch Mo on Yuhu Mountain.
The matter was confidential, so after writing it, Tang Bonian covered it and wiped it off with his palm.
Fairy Guhuo said:
"The five of them have only seen one Qian Tide. Now I am very curious about the performance of the other children."
Kang Fu suddenly smiled and said:
"Hey, among the five of them, I heard from Mr. Lu that only that girl Yanxuan did not participate in this Cheng Guan grace test. Should we go to Fairy Zhong to discuss and arrange a competition for her precious disciples? Even if we look at it, we should look at it all."
…
On the ring, Qian Chao turned around and bowed respectfully to Cheng Guanlou, then walked down the ring to the foundation-building monk who presided over Chengguan's grace test and accepted the thousand spirit stones that Bai Lin challenged him to.
"Brother Qian won beautifully!" Lu Pingchuan suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
Suddenly the audience burst into cheers!
After all, there were many people who bet their spiritual stones on Qian Chao before this competition, so there were also many people who won the spiritual stones. Even if those who set the odds for Qian Chao were low, they would still make money, so those who won Those who have learned the spirit stones are particularly diligent in picking them.
Of course, some people in the crowd who were friends with Qian Chao and knew some inside stories began to worry about Qian Chao. After all, Qian Chao had just thrown their son directly from the ring into Tianshui Lake in front of his parents. Your heart is gone. You must know that Elder Bai Gen and Bai Lin's mother Yun Luan are sitting on Chengguan Tower now, watching all this happen. Even if you Qian Chao finally saluted to Chengguan Tower , but what's the use? According to Bai Lin's mother's temper, she might even think that Qian Chao is provoking!
…
Such worries are indeed not unnecessary.
Just when Bai Lin's body was rushing towards the center of the lake with a burst of water rolling on the surface of Tianshui Lake, on the second floor of Chengguan Tower, many alchemy monks were still looking at this scene in a daze. Suddenly With a "pop" sound, Yun Luan slapped his palm on the table, spilling the tea in the tea cup all over the table. When Huo Ran got up, he was already furious, with a flushed face and a pair of His eyes stared through the window at Qian Chao's back below.
This immediately attracted all the Jiedan elders present to look over. Well, why was Mrs. Bai so angry? Everyone naturally understood that it was her precious son who was soaking in Tianshui Lake now!
What Yun Luan originally wanted was to watch her son defeat his opponent with great glory on the stage, so that she, a mother, could feel proud in Chengguan Tower. Who could have known that this would be the result? Qian Chao is hateful. Of course he can defeat Lin'er with better methods than Lin'er, but he deliberately knocked him directly into Tianshui Lake. For this reason, he also used means to force him in advance. Lin'er exchanged positions with him in the ring. It was so hateful. This was intentional. Did he have any big grudge against Lin'er and must he humiliate him like this?
We must not spare that boy named Qian lightly!
"It's unreasonable, it's too much to bully others..." Yun Luan said with trembling lips.
"Sit down." Elder Bai Gen said softly.
"Where can I still..."
"sit down!"
Elder Bai Gen said again, his voice still not loud, but this time it was full of majesty. And for the first time, Elder Bai brought the coercion of the Danjie monk when speaking to his Taoist companion. This was not considered a tactic in front of a high-level monk, but as a high-level foundation-building female monk, Yun Luan could naturally feel the huge pressure coming from in front of her. This made her even more surprised in the midst of her incomparable anger. In the past, she had done this The Prime Minister was completely obedient to her, but Elder Bai Gen seemed to be a completely different person at this time. How could he remain calm when his son was humiliated like that?
However, under the pressure, Yun Luan still sat down.
"Well, Lin'er will definitely be fine. It can be seen that Qian Chao has been merciful to him. He just threw him into the lake and couldn't hurt him. There's no point in going there..."
"But Lin'er was so humiliated today!" Yun Luan didn't speak loudly, his face was still flushed when he spoke, and his anger towards Qian Chao did not diminish at all.
"Hurtured? You kept saying that he worked hard for a year, and you also trained him for a year. Well, was that the result of your hard work for a year?"
"you……"
"Okay, this is outside. We don't have to argue. If anything happens, we can continue talking when we go back. However, you have arranged a total of two competitions today. Lin'er's is the first one, and there will be another one next. Now that you have made arrangements, you should finish reading before leaving. Anyway, someone has sent Lin'er back, so let him calm down and think about why he failed again. Girl Yun's competition is next. Are you the one who will do it? My aunt, you can't leave without even looking at your niece's competition just because your son lost a game. That would be too unfair and you shouldn't stay and continue reading."
Yun Luan was a little surprised at the difference between her Taoist companion today, but the truth seemed to be on his side. She glanced at Qian Chao downstairs, who was taking a bag of spiritual stones with both hands, and suddenly she became angry again, secretly thinking, just watch it. , let's see if Yun Yatou can win this match, which will make her feel a little more comfortable.
…
On the third floor of Chengguan Tower, Fairy Lengyue watched the competition between Qian Chao and Bai Lin with a slight smile on her face. Unlike other pill-forming monks, in her opinion, Qian Chao's performance As it should be, Fairy Lengyue knew what Li Jian's methods were. How could someone who could be Li Jian's partner have bad methods?
The opposite of Fairy Leng Yue is Ling Yue who is standing next to her. This girl was completely shocked by Qian Chao's methods just now. Ling Yue is somewhat lazy in her practice. This is what she wants Fairy Leng Yue not to do. Satisfied, Fairy Lengyue took her to the Chengguan Tower to watch, just so that she could detect the gap between herself and others from the competition between some masters, so that she could catch up in the future.
And Ling Yue did notice the gap after watching Qian Chao's competition. Because of Li Jian's relationship, Ling Yue didn't have a good impression of the people around Li Jian. She even thought Qian Chao was a liar who was superficial and cunning, but... what if the scene just now with Qian Chao What would happen if the person competing was herself?
Ling Yue still had a clear understanding of herself. After seeing it, she knew that she was no match for Qian Chao, but she immediately thought of another question.
Qian Chao is Li Jian's partner. They have been together for a long time. Ling Yue understands the similarities and differences between friends and partners. There must be a lot of friendship between friends, but if the strength is not equal or the difference is too big, friends still You can continue to do it, but you can't become a partner. The reason is for no other reason. The gap in strength will eventually lead to the person who is not strong enough to become a burden.
In other words... Li Jian's methods must be almost the same as Qian Chao's, neither higher nor any worse. Only in this way can the five of them maintain a stable partnership.
But the next question is, when Li Jian really comes on the stage, can Yun Xi, who Ling Yue thinks she has a good relationship with,... be able to defeat Li Jian?
Originally, Ling Yue had great confidence in Yun Xi, but now she begins to waver. If Yun Xi loses, then does she really want to call Li Jian her senior brother?
…
There were other people who watched Qian Chao's competition very carefully.
Well, Qin Suijie said that this was the first time Mr. Qin had seen Qian Chao take action, and his face turned pale after seeing it.
Mr. Tian Dutian also watched Qian Chao's competition carefully somewhere.
Mr. Tian once witnessed Qian Chao win ten games in a row, so he was not surprised to see this scene again. He knew Bai Lin's identity, so he mercilessly killed Qian Chao, the son of an elder from the Five Spirit Sect. He fell into the lake and was curious. Isn't Qian Chao afraid of offending the elder from now on?
In addition to the Tian family watching, several big dudes from the Wuling Sect also found a good place to watch the battle, arranged the table, put out refreshments and tea, and watched the competition while sipping tea. It was very comfortable.
Sitting with them were several dandies from Lion Grove and Meng Cailou.
The person sitting in the main seat was still Zong Xi. He was very surprised by Qian Chao's methods just now. He was even more fortunate that he did not conflict with these five people in Longzhang Mountain. Otherwise, he might not have been able to get an advantage that time.
Jing Jie's eyes jumped when he saw Bai Lin being beaten into the lake. He had never dealt with Qian Chao before. He had only heard about Qian Chao from other people. He only regarded it as a rumor, but After seeing Qian Chao's methods with his own eyes this time, Jing Jie felt a little uneasy, and then he glanced at Jin Zhang inadvertently.
Jin Zhang immediately understood that this was Jing Jie asking with his eyes whether the people he had found were capable. After all, he knew from the scene just now that the money tide seemed to be difficult to deal with. Jin Zhang was quite confident about the people he had found to deal with Qian Chao this time. After all, his people had already suffered losses at the hands of Qian Chao and others, so he nodded to Jing Jie without noticing.
Only then did Jing Jie relax a little.
But Jing Jie was always worried. Under his arrangement, people from Tian Du and Jin Zhang had quietly infiltrated into the Wuling Sect in the past two days, but he had not seen those people with his own eyes, and of course he did not May appear in front of those people, what are those people like? It's time to figure it out before you know what's going on. So Jing Jie found an excuse to leave the table and quietly found his two confidants.
"You two, stop watching the fun. You have something to do. I have arranged for two groups of people to come in. This is their hiding place. You two will go to separate places to find them. Keep your eyes peeled. Check carefully with your eyes whether those people are suitable for you, and tell me truthfully when you come back. Be careful on the road, and go back quickly."
"yes."
After returning, Jing Jie noticed He Sinu who was holding a tea cup and looking at the excitement below. He had some thoughts in his mind. After Qian Chao competed, it was Li Jian. Let's see what Li Jian said. If these two people Their methods are all good, so it seems that these five people are not easy to deal with. Maybe the people they find will be at least a little troublesome if they want to do things quickly. He Sinu is also a person with some strength. He must have noticed that he has been recently Being a bit close to Jin Zhang, he guessed that he had excluded him from his work with Jin Zhang. Well, is it possible to bring this guy in, give him some benefits, and let him contribute a lot? ?
Jing Jie didn't notice that the way he looked at He Sinu thoughtfully was noticed by Feng You next to him. He didn't even expect that his two confidants had just left him and they hadn't left yet. The sect followed quietly. Naturally, these were all arrangements made by Qian Chao before. Even every move of these dudes when they were leisurely watching the competition on the ring was closely followed by the people arranged by Qian Chao. Stare.
…
Tang Ping snatched the bulging storage bag from Qian Chao's hand, opened it, looked at it, and then said with a smile:
"Wow, it's really a thousand spirit stones. How many correct bets do I have to make to win so much!"
Yanxuan said with some worry:
"Brother Qian just now...will Bai Lin's mother cause trouble in the future?"
"No, Sister Yan, if Elder Bai Gen can't control his wife anymore, at worst, Mr. Qian will betray Elder Bai and tell her the truth."
At this moment, the foundation-building monk who was presiding over the Cheng Guan grace test under the ring said loudly:
"In the next match, Mu Xiufeng Yunxi challenges Mu Xiufeng and Li Jian with a thousand spirit stones!"
Li Jian was a little surprised when he heard that it was also a thousand spirit stones.
Tang Ping said immediately:
"Brother Li, it's your turn. The odds between you and Yunxi are about the same. I've bet all my spiritual stones on you. You must make another profit."
"haha okay!"
…
The many Five Spirit disciples who were watching the competition in the audience immediately went into an uproar when they heard the news.
"Another thousand spiritual stones..."
"What a great gesture!"
"Who is this Yunxi?"
"never heard of that……"
"Why do you need a thousand spiritual stones to challenge others now?"
"They all belong to Mu Xiufeng, why do Mu Xiufeng's own disciples still challenge each other? Can't we compete in private..."
"Hey, I remembered. In the past, there was always a pretty girl beside Bai Lin. Her surname seemed to be Yun..."
"It's two swordsmen again. Liang Boke won one yesterday. It's another competition like this today. It must be exciting..."
"Which one of these two should I bet on to win..."
There was a lot of noise for a while!
…
Cheng Guan upstairs.
Fairy Leng Yue turned to Ling Yue and chuckled:
"It's really a challenge. It's not a chance encounter. No matter what, Ling Yue, it's about to begin. Don't forget that we can make a bet."
"Oh." Ling Yue replied with a sad face.
Kang Fu looked at the arena downstairs and said:
"Look, that boy Li Jian has already appeared on the stage. Hehe, that boy Li is also very good."
Uncle Tom said softly:
"Well, after this competition, Fairy Lengyue will probably be able to accept a disciple."
Fairy Guhuo said:
"Is it that simple? The other party is not like Bai Lin. I heard Girl Tang say that the man named Yun Xi once had a fight with Li Jian. Although Li Jian had the upper hand that time, Girl Tang said that the woman was also very I have some skills and have been training hard for a year just to defeat Li Jian on stage."
Elder Bai Gen and Yun Luan naturally also stared at the arena.
Compared to Qian Chao, neither Elder Bai nor Yun Luan knew much about Li Jian. They only knew that Fairy Lengyue had taken a liking to Li Jian when he had just been selected to enter Muxiu Peak, and wanted to capture him. Accept him as a disciple. Similarly, Fairy Leng Yue also took one look at Yun Xi and categorically refused. No matter what status people brought gifts to lobby, she was determined not to accept Yun Xi's entry. It's a pity that this child Yunxi also has a sour face, a strong desire to win and lose, and he likes to be more serious. He actually started to take revenge against a senior Danjie disciple as a Qi Refining disciple.
Elder Bai Gen is a veteran and has long understood Yun Xi's thoughts. She has also been practicing hard for a year. Today, she must defeat Li Jian in the ring. The meaning is very clear. Since Fairy Leng Yue doesn't like her, she chooses to do it. After choosing Li Jian, well, then she will take this opportunity to defeat Li Jian in front of the whole sect. It is best to defeat Li Jian, thereby proving that she is stronger than Li Jian, and at the same time proving that she is stronger than Li Jian. After seeing the blindness of Fairy Lengyue, naturally, Girl Yun will not be able to worship a blind master again. Of course, she will choose another famous teacher. Next, she will hold a grand and lively apprenticeship ceremony in Muxiufeng. Even if she cannot The apprenticeship ceremony will be held opposite Fairy Lengyue's cave, but the invitation will be sent to Fairy Lengyue respectfully to make her angry again!
Moreover, Bai Gen looked at his Taoist companion across from him. Yun Luan might be involved in this. Yun Luan had always been brooding over Fairy Lengyue's refusal to accept Yun Xi, so she might have been among them to rescue her. What does it do?
In this situation, if Yunxi wins, Bai Gen must intervene. They are all monks of the same sect. They cannot go too far, lest they offend Fairy Lengyue deeply; and if Yunxi loses on the stage, If Li Jian's men are killed, alas, there will be another mess waiting to be cleaned up. Thinking about it gives me a headache!
…
Yunxi walked up slowly to the Foundation Establishment monk who was presiding over the test before slowly walking up. During this period, the disciples who were watching the battle also took the opportunity to take a good look at Mu Xiufeng. female swordsman.
And Li Jian was already standing on the ring waiting for her.
We haven’t seen each other for a year, but the young man opposite still looks the same as in the impression. However, his temperament seems to have become more and more calm. Standing there with his back to the sparkling water of Tianshui Lake and his hands behind his back, he looks like a stick. The iron stakes driven there generally remain motionless.
Bai Lin's failure was all seen in Yun Xi's eyes, and she was not surprised. As her uncle Bai Gen said before, Bai Lin was still no match for Qian Chao. She thought that her uncle would never be able to teach Bai Lin again in the future. It was okay to allow his aunt Yunluan to intervene. I think that in his uncle's hands, Bai Lin should be able to completely change his playboy habits and make a lot of progress in the future.
If she no longer thinks about Bai Lin, she will be the only one left. This competition is a battle she has been looking forward to for a long time, and it is also the climax of all Yunxi's plans!
In order to be able to completely exhale the suffocation that has accumulated in my chest for many years on stage today, to make myself feel proud, to make those who despise me deeply regret it, and to do it in front of everyone in public. It proved to the clan members that Yunxi had suffered a lot for this moment over the years!
And it was all the pain she had brought upon herself. The hard training... was boring and boring. She had persisted for many years. Ever since she last fought against Li Jian, she had begun to prepare for today.
Now, that opponent is opposite her.
From Yunxi's perspective, the person standing opposite was not Li Jian, but the incarnation of Fairy Leng Yue in her heart!
Even Yunxi now wants to look back and find out which window Fairy Lengyue is sitting in Chengguan Tower, looking down, trying to see clearly the female swordsman who is famous in the world of cultivation. What a look.
Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to see her face again in the future, so don’t rush...
Seeing Yunxi on stage, Li Jian first raised his hands and said:
"The discussion confirmed that it is exactly what Li wanted. Miss Yun is interested. As long as she says that Li will obey, why bother to spend money?"
Yunxi said:
"It's just a spiritual stone, it's not worth mentioning. For a person like Mr. Li, a thousand spiritual stones is really not much."
"That's fine. I'd like to thank you, Miss Yun."
"please!"
