The night in Qinglian Valley is particularly quiet.
The soft moonlight shines down from high in the sky, adding a bit of coolness to the valley.
There is a lake in Qinglian Valley.
The surface of the lake is covered with lotus leaves, and the delicate pink lotus flowers are either waiting to be released or already in full bloom.
What's more, it's Xiao He who shows off her sharp corners.
Chen Qingyan looked away from "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" and fixed his gaze on a newly planted small tree next to the pavilion.
——Rose treasure tree.
One year has passed since the grand event held every five years in Qingxuanfang City.
Chen Qingyan missed this heaven and earth spiritual seed because of the incident on "Yuanci Island".
Just comparing it to the newly acquired overhaul subordinates, it seems to be worth it.
After all, even if he didn't leave, there was still a big question mark as to whether he could take a photo of the rose tree.
But it didn't live outside, but was photographed in the name of Qinglian Valley.
Qingxuan Sect will naturally not let go of this kind of spiritual seed that can increase the sect's heritage.
Of course, he came to Qinglian Valley not specifically to see the rose tree, but for the biennial Qinglian Valley competition.
As a new member of the Qingxuan Sect within two years, he had to participate in this competition even if he didn't want to.
Even if it's just a formality.
What's more, Chen Qingyan is not unhappy. These small competitions can affect Qingxuan Sect's view of him to some extent.
He has not forgotten his original intention of joining Qingxuanmen.
Huanglong Palace is the target.
Qingxuanmen is just a springboard.
Every ten years, only the top five true disciples are eligible to be sent to Huanglong Palace.
Chen Qingyan had to show up and show some strength.
This will pave the way for the Qingxuan Sect’s Seventy-Two Peaks and Thirty-six Valley Competition five years later.
"Junior Brother Wang, which lotus flower do you like?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded.
Chen Qingyan moved his eyes slightly and saw a woman walking out of the pavilion.
The woman has a beautiful face and light green clothes, with a hint of silver reflected in the sparkling lake water.
As you stop, you will see the graceful trees, the moonlight, the pavilion, the lake, the lotus... This scene is elegant, tranquil, and picturesque.
Chen Qingyan looked a little confused and couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of Qinglian Valley.
"Sister Tzu Ching, I have made my choice."
Chen Qingyan said.
Tzu Ching, the daughter of the Master of Qinglian Valley, is also a true successor. Now in her forties, she has already stepped on the threshold of Sha Ying's major cultivation.
Although he is not a person with innate magical powers, his talent and talent are extremely high, and he is the heartthrob of the Master of Qinglian Valley.
This lake is not a place where you can enter and exit at will.
Rather, it is the heart of the valley.
Qinglian Valley got its name from it.
The lotus planted in the lake is not an ordinary thing, but a spiritual species of heaven and earth that is as famous as the rose tree - Qingjian Lotus.
As the true successor of Qinglian Valley, Chen Qingyan also has a benefit that he has not received yet.
That is the lotus pod of a green stream lotus.
This is the kind of sword pill that the disciples of Qinglian Valley, especially the true disciples who practice "Qinglian Sword Song" and "Seven Yuan Calamity Relief Technique", value most.
To be precise, it is the lotus seeds conceived in the lotus pods.
Generally speaking, there are more than ten to thirty lotus seeds in a lotus pod, but the Qingjian lotus is not an ordinary species. Its lotus pod can only have three lotus seeds at most, and more often one.
Each of these lotus seeds has the potential to be refined into sword pills.
Anyone who is a true disciple of Qinglian Valley can come here to choose a lotus pod.
Others who are also true disciples of Qingxuan Sect but are not disciples of Qinglian Valley, if they want to obtain the lotus seeds of Qingjianlian, they need to rely on connections or make contributions to the sect to have a chance to get them.
Chen Qingyan is not in a hurry because he has never been able to get started with Qinglian Sword Song.
Can't leave either.
So I took advantage of the small competition in the valley to come over and
The lotus pods were picked.
"Junior brother, whichever flower you like, I will pick it for you."
With eyes full of smiles, the Tzu Chi youth came to the young man and were very interested in this young junior who was entering the valley for the first time.
Chen Qingyan shook his head and said, "Sister, I don't need to do anything, I have already taken it off."
After saying that, he raised his right hand.
There is a lotus pod in the palm of the hand.
Tzu Ching was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the lake.
Sure enough, the lotus pod that had grown and been neglected for nearly fifty years disappeared.
Can't help but be a little surprised.
"Junior brother is so casual, I'm afraid he will regret it in the future."
The seed of Jianwan is like the foundation work of mortals, so it must be done with caution.
That lotus pod that has been neglected for decades has its own reasons. The lotus seed inside the lotus pod has a very weak spiritual power. If it had not been born here, no one would refute it if it was of an ordinary species.
Chen Qingyan smiled slightly, "Senior sister, have you always been in seclusion here?"
Hearing that the younger brother was changing the subject, the Tzu Chi Youth did not try to persuade them, so they picked them all and regretted it too late.
So he nodded and said with a smile: "My evil baby that is about to be formed has some connection with Qingjianlian."
The two walked side by side.
We talked while walking, just talking about various topics briefly. There was no gossip, and the talk was not about romantic affairs.
The atmosphere is exceptionally good.
"Junior brother Xiaobi, you have to be careful about one person."
When they were approaching the exit, Tzu Chi suddenly said.
"who?"
Chen Qingyan asked curiously.
"Jiang Yiqun," she said.
"female?"
"Um."
"Why should I be careful about her?"
"What she practices is also the Green Lotus Sword Technique." Tzu Ching said.
Chen Qingyan was suddenly enlightened and a little confused, "There are many people practicing Qinglian Sword Art in the valley, why should I be careful about her alone?"
The Qinglian Sword Technique has a secret method of refining the mind, which requires competing with many swordsmen. The more you win, the faster your sword skills will improve, and the faster you can refine the sword pills and turn the sword pills into lotus.
To put it bluntly, it means stepping on others to improve yourself.
To put it seriously, it means treating other sword cultivators as cauldrons, taking away from them, and feeding back their own cultivation.
Tzu Ching said: "Junior sister Yiqun carries a deep hatred and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Friendship from the same school is not important to her."
"I see. Thank you, senior sister, for informing me. I will be careful."
Chen Qingyan nodded.
But I didn't pay much attention to it in my heart.
First of all, I am just a newly promoted True Master. It has been more than a year since I obtained the Qinglian Sword Song. I used to use swords. This is not a secret. What is most deeply rooted in people's hearts is my high level of alchemy.
The true successor named Jiang Yiqun, anyone with a slightly normal mind would not regard him as a stepping stone.
Secondly...
"She'd better not really come after me."
Chen Qingyan said silently in his heart.
Chen Qingyan and Tzu Ching went their separate ways when they arrived outside.
One returns to the lake.
One went to Master Yichen's residence.
As mentioned before, Tzu Ching is here to use the Qingjian Lotus to help the evil baby be born quickly.
Similarly, it is also to supervise the disciples who come in to pick lotus pods, so that they will not be blinded by greed and commit stupid acts of stealing Qingjian lotus.
Not everyone is awake all the time,
Especially monks.
Especially monks who practice foreign skills but have insufficient abilities.
The treasure is now at your fingertips, and no one can tell what it will do.
...
"Haha~ My disciple, you are back."
Yichen Shaying crossed his legs and looked down upon Chen Qingyan who entered the room.
Chen Qingyan was too lazy to pay attention to him and went straight into the hall.
"Don't go, don't go, give me the lotus seeds
Take one. "
The child shouted loudly from behind.
Chen Qingyan paused, turned around and said, "You want to eat something like this?"
He took out the lotus pod. It was swarthy, very small, and looked a little shriveled, as if it was undernourished and stunted.
