Time flies, and it has been more than four months in a blink of an eye.
The seventh day of August.
On the official road outside the north gate of Luoyun City, a small black dot was slowly enlarging. When it got closer, the soldiers guarding the city realized that it was a dusty black carriage.
The sturdy one-horned horse stopped outside the city gate with a long neigh, and the people passing by leaned to the side one after another, for fear of disturbing the people on the car.
The captain of the guard with the sword was just a secular warrior. Upon seeing this, he stepped forward respectfully and saluted the young man driving the carriage: "Senior, according to the rules of Luoyun City, outside carriages are not allowed to enter the city. Senior, please arrange your carriage."
For such a worldly martial artist to dare to talk to a cultivator like this, he must have something to rely on.
Lu Li glanced at the three vicissitudes of life characters 'Luoyunbei' hanging high on the city wall, turned his head and said to the car, "Miss Ling'er, get out of the car."
After the words fell, a girl wearing a pink skirt and veil poked her head out: "Brother Lu, is this Luoyun City?"
Lu Li nodded, and after Xiao Ling got off the car, he looked at the captain of the guard, smiled and said, "The carriage will see you off." Then he led Xiao Ling towards the city.
The captain of the guard was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed and saluted Lu Li from behind: "Thank you, senior, for the reward!"
Such a strong horse and such a luxurious carriage are worth a lot of silver.
After entering the city, Lu Li discovered that Luoyun City was not ordinary. The streets inside were five or six feet wide, and the bluestone floor tiles on the ground were very solid and had an aged appearance.
The buildings on both sides of the street are also different from ordinary secular cities. Each one is very majestic. The occasionally exposed pillars require three people to hold them together, and they look quite strong.
Among the crowds on the street are practitioners and secular people.
These common people may be used to seeing practitioners, or they may not know that the people around them are the 'immortals' they yearn for. The arrival of these practitioners did not cause any sensation in the city.
The two of them had just arrived and didn't know much about the recruitment of new members of the Blood Fiend Alliance, so when Lu Li was wandering around, he deliberately followed those practitioners in order to hear some useful news.
Not to mention, after a while, he heard the news he wanted from the few people walking in front of them.
First, what Xiao Hanlin said before was not wrong. The Blood Evil Alliance will recruit new members on the first day of September, which is the first day of next month. There are still more than twenty days from now.
Secondly, this is not the real location of the Blood Evil Alliance, it is just a service point of the Blood Evil Alliance.
Thirdly, the rules for recruiting new members of the Blood Fiend Alliance have not yet been released, and no one knows what conditions are required to enter the Blood Fiend Alliance.
In addition, there was another piece of news that made Lu Li feel a little unusual.
That is, in addition to the Blood Fiend Alliance this time, the Qingyang Sect of Daqian Liangzhou, the Xuanjian Sect of Yunzhou, the Divine Sword Sect of Lingzhou, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect of Qingzhou, the Guiyuan Sect of Chongzhou, and the Tiandao Sect of Beizhou Alliance, the six major forces all released news at the same time that new recruits will be selected from the casual cultivators on the first day of September.
This is a little strange.
For a long time, the casual cultivators and the sect forces have been playing different roles. The casual cultivators don't like to be bound by the sect's rules, and the sects also look down on these unruly mountain village barbarians. They would rather choose young children from the secular world. Cultivate them, and don't be a casual practitioner who has already achieved something.
So what happened that made the sect abandon its old ideas and be willing to devote resources to cultivating casual cultivators?
Furthermore, the recruitment dates for the five major forces and the two major alliances are all set on the first day of September. Is there something fishy about this? Or is the first day of September an auspicious day?
After thinking about it, Lu Li was puzzled. He shook his head and took Xiao Ling to an inn.
After requesting two guest rooms, he followed the waiter upstairs.
"Sir, these two rooms are right next to each other, what do you think?" The waiter said enthusiastically at the door of the room with the door wide open on the far right side of the corridor on the fourth floor.
Lu Li took a look inside and found that the layout inside was pretty good. He nodded and said, "Just these two rooms." He threw a silver ingot to the waiter and said, "Send a table of good food and wine to my room in a moment." Come."
The little second-hand man hurriedly caught the money and weighed it, then his face suddenly became overjoyed and he said, "Sir, I will arrange it for you later."
After the waiter left, Xiao Ling glanced at his room and said, "Then I will go back to my room to rest first."
Lu Li's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Wait a minute, after a long journey, I must be tired of eating Bigu Pills. It's not too late to eat first and then rest. Come with me, I have something to give you."
Xiao Ling glanced at Lu Li's room, her face turned slightly red, she said softly and then said nothing.
After entering the room, the two of them sat at the table. Lu Li tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if deep in thought. Xiao Ling, on the other hand, held her chin in one hand and stared at Lu Li quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
The atmosphere in the room seemed a little strange.
After a while, Lu Li's fingers finally stopped tapping. He turned his head to look at Xiao Ling and said seriously: "Miss Xiao Ling, are you... willing to accept me as your master and never betray me for the rest of your life?"
"ah?"
Seeing Lu Li looking at him, Xiao Ling couldn't help but dodge, but was stunned when he heard what he said next.
Lu Li sighed and said, "You have the ambition of Talisman Dao, and I am willing to help you, but my knowledge of Talisman Dao is a bit special and cannot be easily passed on to others..."
"If you are willing to worship me as your teacher and swear not to pass on what I teach to others without my consent, I will teach you the Tao of Talisman and help you reach a higher level..."
"But if you don't want to, I won't be able to help you. You can make your own decision."
What Lu Li meant by helping each other was referring to the Talisman Forbidden Chapter of the Dayan Forbidden Technique. There was a lot of Talisman Dao knowledge in it that ordinary people couldn't access. As long as you learn this knowledge, even if you don't use the runes in the Dayan Forbidden Technique, other The success rate is definitely far higher than the average person.
After hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but show hesitation and confusion. Suddenly he gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop:
"Master, please accept my disciple Xiao Ling's obeisance! Xiao Ling swears that he will never pass on what he has learned without the permission of the master... He will never betray the master in his life. If he violates this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"
As a wisp of gray energy entered Xiao Ling's eyebrows, Lu Li nodded with satisfaction and helped him up, "Morally speaking, I shouldn't force you to swear, but I also have some unavoidable reasons. I hope you can understand."
"Tsk, hindsight."
Xiao Ling curled his lips and said angrily, "Are you satisfied now, master?"
"Ahem, master, just keep it in mind. I don't care about these nonsense. You can still call me Brother Lu." Lu Li said this, but he still felt a little proud in his heart.
Taking on an apprentice at such a young age is truly a joy in life.
"Humph, I don't want to." Xiao Ling blinked and stretched out his hand in a weird way, "Where's the apprenticeship ceremony?"
