The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Today was the day of the sect competition. Xu Ke got up early in the morning and washed up. After breakfast, he hurried to the main hall of Sinong Hall to join the others.
When Xu Ke came to Sinong Hall, there were already people in the square.
Taking a closer look, the chubby figure suddenly turned out to be Gao Zhengzheng, who "loses money in business".
At this moment, Gao Zhengzheng still looked a little distracted, and his face looked a little haggard. It seems that Gao Zhengzheng's business has not improved yet.
"Senior Brother Gao is back?"
Xu Ke couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Gao Zhengzheng's appearance. Are you a profiteer like you today?
"Who are you……"
Gao Zhengzheng raised his head and looked at Xu Ke, looking a little thoughtful.
Obviously, Xu Ke can no longer be remembered.
There are so many people who have bought the "talisman paper refining technique" from him. How can Gaozheng remember every "customer"?
"Senior Brother Gao, you are so forgetful!"
Xu Ke smiled and cupped his hands, "Xu Ke from Hedongfang, I have met Senior Brother Gao. Senior Brother Gao also sold me the talisman refining technique in Hedongfang before."
"Oh...it's you!"
Gao Zhengzheng finally remembered. After all, Hedongfang's business is the worst. This year, he sold a copy of "Talk Paper Refining Technique".
After thinking about the whole situation, Gao Zhengzheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Ke with wide eyes. His eyes especially stayed on the badge around Xu Ke's waist for a while.
"You...have been promoted to an executive disciple?"
"You are here now to participate in the sect competition? It seems that you are still a genius!"
Gao Zhengzheng was a little surprised at Xu Ke's promotion, but he didn't take it to heart. He was concerned about another issue.
"That...Junior Brother Xu!"
Gao Zhengzheng touched his head in embarrassment, "Although the talisman refining technique is not valuable to the executive disciples, you were not an executive disciple at the beginning after all. No refunds will be given after both the property and the goods are paid."
"hehe!"
Xu Ke smiled, are you worried that I will ask you to refund the money? Are you so nervous about just a dozen spirit stones? How much have you lost in business?
"Don't worry, I'm not here to refund your money."
Xu Ke smiled and waved his hand, then changed the topic, "Senior Brother Gao, didn't I hear that you went to Hengduan Mountain to do business? Why are you back again?"
"Isn't this a sect competition?"
Gao Zhengzheng looked helpless, "I was summoned by the Sinong Palace to represent the Sinong Palace in the sect competition. I had no choice but to rush back."
oh? Sinongdian summoned you back specifically?
It seems that senior brother Gao Zhengzheng is not weak in strength, he is not just a profiteer.
"It turns out that Senior Brother Gao is still the mainstay among the serving disciples of our Sinong Palace!"
Xu Ke sighed in admiration, "In this sect competition, the honor of Sinong Palace depends on Senior Brother Gao."
"Who am I to be the pillar? The pillar is Senior Brother Zhang Lingfeng, I'm just a make-up."
Gao Zhengzheng quickly shook his head in denial, "Senior Brother Zhang is at the tenth level of Qi training. He is much better than me. Among all the outer disciples in the entire sect, he can be regarded as an outstanding hero."
Senior Brother Zhang practiced Qi to the tenth level at such a young age?
Xu Ke secretly admired in his heart, this senior brother Zhang is really outstanding!
"Hahahaha! Junior Brother Gao promoted me!"
At this time, Zhang Lingfeng laughed loudly and walked up. Behind Zhang Lingfeng, there were six disciples who also participated in the sect competition.
Xu Ke noticed that among the six people following Zhang Lingfeng, two were newly promoted with Xu Ke. One was Li Shi from Xishanfang, and the other...forgot.
As for the other people, Xu Ke has never seen them at all.
Are these all the candidates for the Sinong Hall sect competition?
Xu Ke didn't think much and waited outside the hall with everyone.
After waiting for a while, an old man wearing a yellow robe walked out of the hall.
This man was an elder from the Sinong Hall. Xu Ke had seen this man at the "opening ceremony" of the last promotion assessment of the Sinong Hall, but he didn't know his name.
This elder seemed to be a straightforward person and did not show any pomp. He glanced at everyone and asked directly: "Is everyone here?"
"I would like to inform Elder Sun that the nine serving disciples participating in the sect's competition have all arrived. Please give instructions to the elder."
Zhang Lingfeng quickly walked out and reported to Elder Sun.
Xu Ke noticed that except for Gao Zhengzheng who smiled, no one else had any reaction to Zhang Lingfeng's "representing everyone" and seemed to take it for granted.
It seems that Zhang Lingfeng is still very prestigious among the serving disciples of Sinong Hall.
"Well, since everyone is here, I will say a few words."
Elder Sun nodded, glanced at everyone, and said: "This sect competition is divided into three parts: outer sect, inner sect, and true inheritance. What you are participating in is the examination competition for outer sect disciples."
"There are three more exams for the outer disciples. One is for the new executive disciples, the second is for the mid-level executive disciples, and the third is for the high-level executive disciples. "
"The senior serving disciples are headed by Zhang Lingfeng."
"The middle-level executive disciples are headed by Gao Zhengzheng."
"The newly promoted disciples are headed by Xu Ke."
"This sect competition is related to the reputation of Sinong Palace. You must go all out to win a good ranking."
"Disciple, obey!"
Everyone quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"lets go!"
As he spoke, Elder Sun waved his hand, and a ray of light flashed through, manifesting an exquisite building and spaceship in front of everyone.
This airship is about twenty feet long, with a huge hull, towering buildings, exquisite decoration, gorgeous appearance, and looks very dazzling.
Is this a "luxury car" in the world of immortality? How enviable!
Xu Ke secretly admired and followed the others onto Elder Sun's building and spaceship.
"The master of the palace has personally led the inner disciples of Sinong Palace to set off. Let's meet them near the mountain gate and sit tight."
Elder Sun greeted everyone, waved his hand and fired a burst of spiritual power, launching the building ship and airship.
The huge building ship shook slightly, then rose into the sky, roaring through the sky.
A moment later, Xu Ke only heard a thunderous explosion. The swirling airflow turned into a funnel at the tail of the airship, and the speed of the airship soared instantly.
Damn it! Sonic boom? Is this supersonic flight?
This building ship is not aerodynamic at all, but it can actually fly with a sonic boom?
Well, we are already in the world of cultivating immortals. With great strength, bricks fly. As long as the power is strong enough, there is no need to worry about the aerodynamic shape.
Xu Ke smiled and shook his head.
The supersonic flying ship and spaceship travel extremely fast.
Just a few minutes later, the building ship exited supersonic speed and began to slow down.
After a while, a huge mountain shrouded in fairy light appeared in front of him.
This mountain is ridiculously big and terrifyingly high.
As the saying goes, "climbing Mount Tai and minimizing the world", Xu Ke has seen Mount Tai. At this moment, when Xu Ke saw the tall mountain in front of him, he felt... Mount Tai was just a small mound.
The high mountain in front of you is shrouded in a layer of flames, surrounded by fairy lights and steaming auspicious energy.
As the fairy light circulates, "the sun rises", "the golden crow spreads its wings", "the flames surge into the sky"... various visions flash in succession, which can be described as a myriad of phenomena.
Is this the "Haoyang Mountain" where the gate of the Haoyang Immortal Sect is located?
It's pitiful to say that, as a disciple of the Haoyang Immortal Sect, this is the first time I've seen what the sect's headquarters looks like.
Xu Ke secretly exclaimed, this is indeed the residence of the sect! This spiritual energy concentration is simply frighteningly high.
How cool would it be if you could practice in the sect's residence for a long time?
At this moment, Xu Ke had another ambition in his heart. He must enter the sect's residence to practice in the future.
