Early the next morning, a ray of sunlight shined through the window into Ji Liao's hut.
Ji Liao slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt a headache.
He took a breath of cold air, rubbed his forehead and stood up. He looked around and found that he was in his wooden building. He frowned slightly, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember how he came back from Luzhu's place. of.
He smiled helplessly and murmured, "I drank too much yesterday."
He got up and walked out of the bed, walked into the small courtyard, stretched, and let out a comfortable moan, "Ah..."
"Boss, are you awake?" Snotlout Wolf, who was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, looked back at Ji Liao and asked.
"Yeah." Ji Liao responded, paused and then said, "How did I come back yesterday?"
Hearing this, Snotlout Wolf glanced at Ji Liao sadly and said, "Yesterday you drank too much and fell asleep after you woke me up. I brought you all the way back, and you almost vomited all over me."
Ji Liao touched his nose, a little embarrassed, "This... uh..."
"Ji Liao." Just when Ji Liao didn't know what to say, a woman's shout suddenly came from mid-air.
Ji Liao looked up and found Long Ji looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Hi! Good morning, Senior Sister Long." Ji Liao waved his hand to Long Ji in mid-air.
Long Ji flew down, with a mysterious smile on her face, and said to Ji Liao, "What do you think I am here for today?"
"I don't know!" He said decisively, not interested in Long Ji's riddles at all.
Long Ji rolled her eyes at Ji Liao and immediately lost all interest, "I am here to tell you good news. My master asked me to inform you that from now on you will be our inner disciple of Yanshui Peak. You will be here soon." Come with me to the Deacon Hall to handle the relevant matters."
Ji Liao frowned when he heard this. He was not happy at all, and was suspicious in his heart, "Didn't Patriarch Tongtian say that he would promote me to a core disciple? Why have I become an inner disciple now? Has he gone back on his word?"
Seeing Ji Liao's appearance, Long Ji also frowned, "Why aren't you tall..."
She was about to ask something when she suddenly seemed to smell something. She wrinkled her nose slightly and sniffed a few times close to Ji Liao. Then she quickly covered her mouth and nose and said, "Hey, this smell of alcohol, did you drink yesterday?"
Ji Liao nodded and said with a smile, "I went to Luzhu's place yesterday. I drank so much that I fell unconscious. I don't know how I came back. Didn't I just wake up now?"
Upon hearing Ji Liao's words, Long Ji frowned even more and snorted coldly, "I just said that Lu Zhu is not a good person. There will be no good things happening with him. You are not allowed to interact with him often in the future. You won't learn anything." Good thing."
Ji Liao's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, staring blankly at Long Ji's angry look.
Long Ji was just angry, but when she saw how Ji Liao looked at her, she was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the reason. Two clouds of red clouds suddenly appeared on her face, and she said, "I...I...I'm urging you." A matter of cultivation.”
"Ahem...well...thank you for your concern." Ji Liao touched his nose and said.
At this moment, a ray of light shot from the distant sky and flew over the two of them, revealing their figures.
Long Ji was shocked when she saw this person, and quickly bowed and saluted, "Disciple Long Ji has met the ancestor."
Ji Liao also bowed and said, "Disciple Ji Liao has met our ancestor."
The person who came was none other than Jindan Patriarch Wujizi.
"Well..." Wujizi snorted lightly, then looked at Ji Liao and said, "Ji Liao, come with me, go to Yuxu Peak with me to handle the matter of entering the core disciples, and I will choose a place for you. Cave."
"What!" When Long Ji heard Wujizi's words, her body trembled, her mouth opened wide, and she looked at Ji Liao in disbelief.
Ji Liao grinned, "I'm sorry, I'm a core disciple now." Then he turned to Wujizi and said, "Ancestor, wait a moment, I'll go and tidy up, and I'll be back soon."
"Go." Wujizi nodded and then sat down cross-legged in the void, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Ji Liao turned around and walked into the wooden building, and Long Ji followed suit.
Ji Liao actually didn't have much, just some scattered cultivation items, and he quickly cleared away the wooden building.
"When were you promoted to core disciple? Why didn't I know about this?" Long Ji asked as she followed Ji Liao.
"A few days ago, in order to reward my contribution to the sect, my ancestor specially promoted me to a core disciple." Ji Liao said to Long Ji as he walked.
Long Ji followed Ji Liao all the time and asked, "Didn't the sect reward you for being promoted to an inner disciple?"
Just when Wujizi arrived, Ji Liao had already guessed that the sect had originally rewarded him for being promoted to an inner disciple, but it happened that Taoist Tongtian, who was related to his ancestor, came out of seclusion, so it was cheaper. He jumped directly to the inner sect and was promoted to a core disciple.
However, he would not tell Long Ji this, and directly replied, "I don't know!"
Long Ji looked at Ji Liao's figure with mixed feelings in her heart. She was a little reluctant, but also a little happy for Ji Liao. After a long time, she said, "Then...congratulations."
"Yeah." Ji Liao hummed, then turned around, and was stunned when he saw Long Ji's expression, and then remembered what Lu Zhu said to him last night, his eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Is it really what Lu Zhu said? "
He smiled stupidly and said, "Don't worry, although I go to Yuxu Peak to practice, I promise that I will visit Senior Sister Long once a year to repay Senior Sister Long for her care during this time."
Hearing this, Long Ji's face flashed with joy and she said with a smile, "Then it's settled."
"Yeah!" Ji Liao nodded in agreement.
Long Ji's eyes darted around and she smiled, "By the way, you have become a core disciple and your monthly supply should be quite large. You should hurry up and pay back the spiritual stones you owe me."
Ji Liao's smile immediately froze there, then immediately cooled down and uttered one word, "Okay."
"Hahaha." Seeing Ji Liao's appearance, Long Ji immediately covered her mouth and laughed, then said after a moment, "I was joking with you."
"Forget it, I'd better pay you back the money quickly, lest you keep complaining about this." After Ji Liao said this, he turned around and walked out of the house, directly riding on the back of the snot wolf, and waved to Long Ji, "Let's go, Senior Sister Long."
"Yeah!" Long Ji nodded with her hands behind her back.
Snot Wolf waved his wings and flew into the air carrying Ji Liao.
Long Ji looked up at Ji Liao's figure, hesitated for a moment and then shouted, "Don't forget your promise."
Ji Liao turned around and smiled naively at Long Ji, "Don't worry, I will definitely visit you often."
After saying that, he and Wujizi flew away into the distance, leaving Long Ji alone, looking up at Ji Liao's retreating figure.
In a cave, Zhao Xinghai looked at Zheng Tianlong opposite with a smile.
"Junior brother Zheng will be lucky if he survives this disaster." Zhao Xinghai flicked his finger on the table and said with a smile.
Zheng Tianlong had an ugly expression on his face. He patted the storage bag on his waist and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. He put it on the table and raised his hand to Zhao Xinghai, "This is the forbidden pill that Brother Zhao gave me some time ago. , now that Ji Liao is still alive, this elixir should be returned to its original owner."
After Zheng Tianlong returned to the sect, he thought that Ji Liao would never be spared from being hunted down during the Foundation Establishment Period. However, he did not expect that after asking around, he found that Ji Liao was still alive and had returned to the sect before him. Zheng Tianlong was extremely annoyed and felt that this mission was a big loss, but he had nothing to do. Since Ji Liao was not killed, there was no reason for him to keep the forbidden pill in his hands. After a few days of rest, he found Zhao Xinghai planned to return the Forbidden Breaking Pill to him.
"Hey, what are you doing, Junior Brother Zheng? Since Zhao said he would give it to Junior Brother Zheng, there is no reason to bring it back. Junior Brother Zheng, just accept it." Zhao Xinghai didn't even look at the jade bottle, and said to Zheng Tianlong with a smile. .
"But..." Zheng Tianlong was not sure what Zhao Xinghai meant and said hesitantly.
"It's nothing but, the future is long, Junior Brother Zheng..." Zhao Xinghai glanced at Zheng Tianlong meaningfully and said.
Zhang Ruoxian was reviewing the files in the peak. Suddenly she moved her brows and patted the storage bag on her waist. Her identity token flew out and placed it between her eyebrows. After a moment, she slowly opened it. Eyes, she whispered, "That boy was promoted to a core disciple?"
After saying that, she swayed and turned into a ray of light that fell in the air outside the palace. With a flick of her robe sleeves, a ray of light flew out and hit the top of a mountain not far from here.
But there was nothing else on the top of the mountain, except a huge copper bell.
This big bell is extremely important in the Purple Air Sect and is generally not rung easily. It is usually only rung when the elders are preaching or when foreign enemies invade. At the same time, the number of times it is rung also represents different meanings.
The rays of light flew over and hit the bronze bell directly.
"Dong...dong...dong..." The melodious and rich bell rang on the top of the mountain.
In an instant, the news spread throughout Yanshui Peak.
In an instant, both the elders of Yanshui Peak and the disciples of the inner and outer sects were startled by the sound of the bell. They stopped what they were doing and looked towards the place where the bell came from.
At the same time, the three peaks of Chixia Peak, Fuxian Peak, and Xingyun Peak rang loud and clear bells at the same time.
Disciples of the Purple Air Sect, you look at me, I look at you, listen carefully to the bell, and silently count the number of times the bell rings in your heart.
When the ninth bell fell, the Purple Air Sect became quiet.
The disciples of the Purple Qi Sect opened their eyes and murmured, "Hey, the nine bells sounded. It must be that the sect has accepted some disciples with extraordinary talents and been taken directly to Yuxu Peak to practice."
"Well, that should be it."
"Look at this person. If you worship at the core, you will notify the entire sect. Looking at me... eh... it's so irritating that people are so much more powerful than others."
"It should be announced who it is in a moment, so go to the center and take a look."
"Yes, let's go and see the excitement."
For a moment, the disciples from the four peaks moved at the same time and gathered towards the center area of each peak.
After a moment, at the center of each peak, a flash of light was seen, and a curtain of snow-white light appeared that connected the sky to the ground.
Not long after, golden spiritual patterns were engraved on it, gradually forming huge golden fonts.
Some disciples looked at the words above and muttered, "Today, Ji Liao, a disciple of Yanshui Peak, has made meritorious service in safeguarding the sect. He will be promoted to a core disciple. From then on, he will practice in Yuxu Peak. The disciples of each peak should regard him as his disciple." example."
"What, is that Fu Xiu Ji Liao from Yanshui Peak?" Someone exclaimed when they saw Ji Liao's name.
"It should be him. Some time ago, it was said that he carried out a mission to detect the rebellion of the Immortal Cultivation Family, which even alarmed the ancestors of the sect." Someone answered at this time.
"Our sect is so kind to its disciples. You see, you have received such a great gift for your sect's meritorious service."
"Yes, yes, it's such a pity. I wish I had gone on that mission."
"Shut up now. It is said that eight people were killed in that operation, and he was the only one who came back. If you go, you will probably die there."
"By the way, I heard that another person came back a few days ago. What is his reward? Why didn't I hear about it?"
"I don't know, but it should be no less."
"Junior Brother Ji was promoted to a core disciple? How could he directly cross the inner sect and be promoted to a core disciple?" At this time, a disciple of Yanshui Peak said.
"What's so surprising about this? Junior Brother Ji is a talented Fu cultivator, and he has set up such a big attack for the sect. To save the sect's face, he should be promoted to the core."
"I really envy Junior Brother Ji."
"Pa." A tea cup was thrown to pieces, and the tea flew up in all directions, splashing Zheng Tianlong's clothes all over.
"Why is Junior Brother Zheng so angry?" Zhao Xinghai looked at Zheng Tianlong and asked with a smile.
"The sect is unfair. I also narrowly escaped death for the sect. After I came back, I was only rewarded with a few healing pills, but he was directly promoted to a core disciple. I can't swallow this breath." Zheng Tianlong roared with a livid face.
Zhao Xinghai's eyes quickly turned, "Hahaha, Junior Brother Zheng, don't be angry. I said before that the future is long."
"Hmph!" Zheng Tianlong snorted heavily, and poured out all the anger in his heart on Ji Liao. With murderous intent in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Liao..."
