Qin Zhishou smiled secretly, and then introduced to everyone in a loud voice:
"My master, Mu Yuan Zhenren, is the Supreme Elder in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. He is also the disciple of the current orthodox Taoist sect. The Taoism we practice has the same root and origin."
"The large army of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace has already arrived at the place closest to Longtan Peak. If you are not afraid of danger, I can ask the master to take us together."
"Really, can we go there too!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they were a little moved, but they still had some scruples.
Who knows whether Qin Zhishou's words were polite.
After all, the gap between them and the Taoist master is too huge. Qin Zhishou is his disciple and no one will say anything when he is taken there. Elder Xu Shi once also made a name for himself in the Xuan Realm. Tianjiao, even though he has fallen to this level, is still not comparable to them.
As for the last person...
"Li Hu is really lucky."
A young genius disciple in the Taoist temple raised his eyes and glanced at the tall young man standing next to Xu Shi, with some jealousy and envy in his eyes.
That tall young man is Li Hu.
This was once just a handyman disciple and the lowest status person in the Taoist temple. No one thought that one day he would be able to stand beside the genius Qin Zhishou and be selected to practice in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
Yes, Li Hu entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
Not long ago, before Qin Zhishou and others came back, Immortal Palace sent a "vanguard unit" to inquire about the situation in Xiushan, and made some more detailed plans, and the final destination was their small Taoist temple.
Immediately afterwards, what Xu Shikou said about choosing a disciple from the Taoist temple to go to Jiutian Immortal Palace to practice came true. For this purpose, the Taoist temple specially organized a competition, in which disciples of different ages and realms participated. .
And after countless rounds of brutal competition, the first place was chosen.
That person is the leader among the Taoist inner disciples of this generation, and his name is Li Jue.
Li Jue once practiced Taoism with Qin Zhishou, and tried to catch up with the latter countless times, but the gap only widened.
But he is not as talented as Qin Zhishou, but his strength in the Taoist temple is at the dominant level. He has broken through to the upper realm of Qi Condensation early. No disciple of this generation with a bone age of about 20 can surpass him. Its left and right.
However, in the end, no one expected that Li Jue, who won the first place, was not chosen by the elders of Nine Heavens Palace. Instead, they chose Li Hu, who was eliminated in the third round.
Yes, it’s Ji Ning’s senior brother Li Hu.
The reason is also very simple, because his bones became golden bones for the first time. Such talent is rare even in the entire Xuanyu. The last genius who was directly determined to be golden bones was Qin Zhishou. He was in Jiutian Immortal Palace. They are also among the leaders of their generation.
With this identity, Li Hu naturally received more expectations than others. Although he was eliminated in the third round, it was because he met Li Jue.
In the first two rounds of competition, Li Hu has proven himself. He has eliminated two inner disciples of the Qi Condensation Realm.
In the final battle with Li Jue, Li Hu showed great resilience and dragged out the battle for as long as a stick of incense. Not only that, he also tried to counterattack many times, although in the end he was easily resolved by Li Jue. , but it also proved his talent and strength.
After repeated consideration, the elders of Jiutian Immortal Palace believed that Li Hu had a better future as a practitioner.
Although it was not as stunning as Qin Zhishou's, it was still worth investing in, so he chose Li Hu.
Li Jue, who won, only received some consolation prizes.
However, the above are only official statements given by the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
No one knows why Li Hu was actually chosen instead of Li Jue. Whether there was something fishy about it or whether Elder Xu Shi was the one who got in the way and determined the outcome.
In short, the entire North County now knows that among this generation of young practitioners, there is another person named Li Hu.
And this Li Hu was not only Qin Zhishou's junior brother, but also the senior brother of Ji Ning who was personally wanted by the Governor of Xantian Mansion.
The blessing of dual identities suddenly made Li Hu look extremely dazzling. In the past few days, countless sects have come to propose marriage. Many seniors in the spiritual world have been trying hard to marry their daughters to Li Hu, but in the end they all had no choice. And return.
Because a better person has already appeared around Li Hu.
That woman was too dazzling, just like Qin Zhishou, like the sun above the nine heavens. She was born with the noble blood of the True Phoenix. She was bound to become a great practitioner above the three realms in the future and could not be stopped.
And it was such a noble and beautiful woman who fell in love with Li Hu for the first time.
Looking at the iceberg beauty who suddenly appeared above the glazed clouds, with a beautiful face and a frosty face, the eyes of all the male disciples of the Taoist temple burst out with a warm light at the same time.
Wu Simiao.
Just this surname is enough to put everyone present out of reach, because the Wu family is one of the few ancient clans in Xuanyu that has been passed down since ancient times. Although it has declined, how much heritage does an ancient clan have? No one knows.
And even if the Wu family declines, there are still many great practitioners of the Six Realms in the sect.
Not to mention, Wu Simiao was a close disciple of the elder in the Nine Heavens Palace, and her status was even more noble, which was enough to make all the men present who had the wrong idea for her lower their heads in shame.
But Li Hu did not bow his head.
The tall young man with dark skin and a sunny smile just stood steadily on one side.
Wu Simiao stood beside him obediently. Instead, he lowered his beautiful and cold head, whispered something to Li Hu, and then seemed to be amused by the latter, covering his mouth and laughing softly. Twice.
Such beautiful scenery makes all the disciples feel excited.
But when they thought that such a beautiful woman actually fell in love with Li Hu, and even took the initiative to like her, everyone felt a sense of sadness and anger, thinking that God was blind.
"It's okay if she falls in love with Qin Zhishou. Who is Li Hu? Not only did he steal the senior brother's position, but he also fell in love with such iceberg beauties!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, senior fellow apprentices are listening!"
Off the field, countless disciples were whispering, their words full of jealousy.
The leader, a young man with handsome appearance and tall stature, but whose robes were in tatters, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Li Hu from a distance, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Why.
Disciple of Immortal Palace, the beauty has mercy on you.
If it weren't for Li Hu, all this should have been his. He was the senior brother of Taoism and the strongest person in this generation besides Qin Zhishou. How could Li Hu reach the sky in one step, but he had to wait another year? Participating in a martial arts competition in Bei County and fighting to the death can lead to the qualification to join the Immortal Palace. Why on earth is this!
Li Jue's handsome face twitched fiercely.
But even though he was extremely unwilling to give in, he did not dare to show his anger at this moment, because Li Hu was already in the ascendant, and like Qin Zhishou, he was both a disciple of the Immortal Palace.
If he dares to speak rudely, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
So after Li Jue heard those discussions, he immediately frowned, stood up and scolded in a low voice:
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Junior Brother Li Hu's first bone setting was the golden bone, and he showed amazing perseverance when he fought with me. It is reasonable for the Immortal Palace to choose him over me. Moreover, Junior Brother Li Hu is cheerful and enthusiastic, and has a hard-working character. He may not be handsome in appearance, but he is also handsome in appearance. You must never make sarcastic remarks out of jealousy again, otherwise you will be at odds with me, Li Jue, did you hear me!"
"Yes, senior brother!"
Li Jue said these words in a very low voice, but deliberately controlled it within the range that could barely be heard.
In front, Master Muyuan heard this and smiled with an unknown meaning.
"Master Nephew Xu, you Taoist disciples are full of talented people. I think this person's achievements in the future may not be less than Zhishou. You must guide and train him well."
The focus of this sentence falls on the word guidance.
Obviously, Master Muyuan saw through Li Jue's little idea of holding back and pretending to understand the righteousness to gain his attention, so he had to tell Xu Shi to guide him well.
Xu Shi also understood and sighed helplessly.
Li Jue, a disciple, is indeed ranked among the best among the people he has met with his talent, strength, hard work, and character. If he can enter the Immortal Palace, his future will be limitless.
But no matter what, he had Qin Zhishou in front of him and Li Hu in the back. The two almost blocked all the opportunities on his initial path to practice, not to mention that Li Hu suddenly appeared and was selected into the Immortal Palace as his defeated opponent. .
Anyone who sees this kind of experience will sympathize with him.
He also hoped that Li Jue would question the selection of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, Li Hu himself, or be angry with the Taoist temple.
But he had neither.
Whether he lost to Qin Zhishou back then or lost to Li Hu this time, Li Jue never complained. Among the Taoist disciples, he was known as a senior brother who practiced hard and diligently. In front of his teachers, he was humble and prudent, neither humble nor overbearing. An upright junior.
No matter how dissatisfied, unwilling or angry he was, Li Jue never showed a trace of emotion in any situation that was not conducive to him.
He is very thoughtful and able to endure.
Such people are scary, and most importantly, they are prone to going astray and going astray.
But how to guide education is also a headache for Xu Shi. In fact, he mentioned this matter to Li Jue's master more than once, but the elder actually sneered at his remarks and firmly believed that his apprentice was a rare student. Once we meet, a "real person" with a big heart.
Xu Shi shook his head helplessly. Outsiders often see things more clearly than those involved. There was nothing he could do about Li Jue's problems. He could only hope that if this person gained power in the future, he would not retaliate against Li Hu.
But this worry should be unnecessary.
Because people from both the Taoist Temple and the Nine Heavens Palace think that Li Hu is not as good as Qin Zhishou, but he is also a malleable talent.
Only he had a different opinion in his heart.
He believed that Li Hu was far better than Qin Zhishou.
