This was the first time Shen Hao had seen Yang Wanli, the master of the Mingshan Sect, in real life. He had a rather gentle and elegant temperament. He had a long snow-white beard, but his face was rosy and energetic, making it hard to tell how old he was. The most eye-catching thing is the pair of eyes, which seem to have a natural chill, like the ice on the mountain that never melts all year round.
He was obviously smiling, and his aura was quite friendly, but why was there such a coldness in his eyes?
Shen Hao is more inclined to think that this is caused by the skills practiced by Yang Wanli.
Although today is the first time to visit Mingshan, Shen Hao is not so unfamiliar with this place. As one of the only two super sects in the Jingji Dynasty, it is impossible for the Xuanqing Guards to have no information at all. The information accumulated over thousands of years about the Mingshan Sect is enough for Shen Hao to get a glimpse of it without even visiting Mingshan. The whole picture.
Although Mingshan Sect also specializes in Five Elements magic, but unlike the all-encompassing Wanjuan Shushan, most of their disciples still practice the Five Elements Water attribute and the Five Elements Wood attribute. The reason is what Shen Hao personally felt when he went up the mountain. Although the aura of heaven and earth on Mingshan Mountain is extremely lively and rich, and is no worse than that of the Wanjuan Shushan sect, the five elements of "water" and "wood" are different. But it is exceptionally outstanding, even several times higher than the other three attributes.
Since the environment is unique, coupled with unique training methods and techniques, wouldn't specializing in the water and wood attributes of the five elements be the icing on the cake and form a more prominent advantage?
Of course, there are many Mingshan Sect disciples who specialize in the water and wood attributes of the five elements, but there are also many disciples who also practice other methods, but the emphasis is still on the water and wood attributes.
On the high platform in front of Lingyun Palace, Yang Wanli was delivering a speech, as was customary. Although the Sword Trial Conference is a grand gathering for the entire cultivation world, it is also a grand gathering for the Mingshan Sect. Just like the "Book Tasting Conference" in Wanjuan Shushan, it has great practical significance, and it also brings high fame and fortune to the sect that hosts it.
Shen Hao smiled and listened carefully to Yang Wanli's words on the high platform in the middle, turning a deaf ear to the glances and petty comments from around him from time to time.
The people sitting on the left side of the auditorium with Shen Hao all have one thing in common. They are all monks in the Xuanhai Realm, but not all of them are from major sects. . Except for the masters of the first and second-rate sects, there is no sect leader. There are also casual cultivators and some pillars of small sects. These people sat scattered in their respective positions, looking at Shen Hao sitting at the front with an inexplicable look in his eyes. Some even looked at him with scrutiny and a little excitement, but they were suppressed temporarily.
"Do you have anything to say about the viewing platform on the left?" Shen Hao asked Xiang Liu who was sitting on his left with a smile, and his voice was not deliberately lowered, but at a normal volume, which seemed particularly clear on the viewing platform. Make a slightly noisy environment quiet.
Is Shen Hao really not aware of the rules of the Mingshan Sect Sword Trial Conference? How could you not know? In the past, the Mingshan Sect had invited Fenghong Villa to attend the sword test conference. Because the sword test conference was a grand event in the cultivation world, Fenghong Villa almost always sent people to come. But without exception, everyone sits on the viewing platform on the right. Even if you don’t understand it, after watching the ceremony so many times, you can summarize the difference between the left and right viewing platforms.
Therefore, Shen Hao's question at this time was a typical question knowingly. The purpose was to expose the fact that the Mingshan Sect deliberately arranged for him to sit on the left viewing platform, and that he was unaware of it.
If you want to realize this idea, you will naturally have to use Xiang Liu's mouth to convince others.
Xiang Liu smiled and said: "The viewing platform on the right is mainly for ceremonial guests. They are not participants in the Sword Trial Conference. They are here just to cheer for the emperor to give the emperor a face. On the left are the real participants of the Sword Trial Conference with their status and Guests with matching abilities. Mr. Shen has now cultivated to Xuanhai, and is so close to our sect circle, and has some cooperation, so he should change his usual position and sit on the left viewing platform."
"Participant? So, I have to end up too?"
"Hahaha, Master Shen is a disciple of the ancestor of Ice and Fire. He is a great monk at the third level of the Mysterious Sea Realm. He has a high position and rich experience. There are not many people here who can surpass you, Master Shen, in terms of fighting experience. You should give guidance to the sect. There are so many people here who work behind closed doors!" Xiang Liu's words had obviously been prepared for a long time, and now he said them in a clear voice that could be heard clearly by everyone on the auditorium.
"Haha, Elder Xiang praises Shen very much. The two masters are very capable, but Shen is still young and is not qualified to handle advanced methods. He can only scratch the surface to protect himself. And Xuan Qing The killing fields of Wei are quite different from the competitions of the sect. If I am not afraid of making fun of the elders, I am really worried that I will be punched and kicked off the stage to be embarrassed.
Otherwise, Elder Xiang, should we go to the auditorium on the right? "
What Shen Hao said made the entire audience on the right side of the auditorium gasp subconsciously, and the hissing sound was not obvious but was absolutely uniform.
He is a great monk at the third level of the Xuanhai Realm, the chief deacon of Fenghong Villa, and a high-ranking member of the Xuanqing Guard. He has many, high and important positions, but how can this person speak so shamelessly? He actually said in front of his face that he was afraid of being embarrassed if he couldn't beat him, so he loudly requested to be temporarily moved to the viewing stand on the right... This...
Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye also twitched their expressions, but fortunately they had not dealt with Shen Hao once or twice, so they came to their senses quickly. They knew that this person was by no means an easy person, and he was not easy to deal with. To the other party, it doesn't exist. He can say and do anything, so it's not surprising.
"Haha, Mr. Shen is joking. The seats are all fixed. How can you change them at will? What's more, it's about to start and it's too late to change seats." Zhong Hongye said something to the side and smiled. Shen Hao pushed back his shameless thoughts. I laughed to myself at the same time: Are you afraid now? late!
Zhong Hongye was not the only one who laughed secretly, Xiang Liu also felt the same in his heart. Didn't they ask Shen Hao to come to the sword trial competition in his personal capacity just to get a handle on this guy who has been restless recently? The fun has just begun.
A flash of obvious frustration flashed across Shen Hao's face, and then he stopped dwelling on the topic and ignored Zhong Hongye's words. He seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhong Hongye's rejection of his proposal to change seats. This made the people around who witnessed all this laugh with a bit of contempt.
I thought it was a character, but it turned out to be like this? It's really ridiculous.
As before, Shen Hao ignored the scattered discussions around him, and his attention seemed to be attracted by what Yang Wanli said on the high platform in the middle.
What Yang Wanli was talking about was the rewards from this sword trial competition. In addition to the three most important things, including skills, spiritual stones, and magic weapons, there was also a limited mining right to the spiritual stone veins. This surprised Shen Hao. .
Is it such a big deal?
