Wei Rongniang returned to Xianyun Peak the day before the leader's birthday. Returning with her were the elder He Jingxian who was in charge of Penglai Hall, senior brothers Li Shaoyu, Deng Yuantong and a group of second-generation disciples.
They went to the miasma forest.
Previously, Deng Yuantong and Song Yun teamed up to kill the Earth Dragon in the Sea of Rotten Leaves. They peeled off the skin to search for souls and pills. Although the harvest was great, they still felt that something was wrong. Yao Jiang spent so much effort to synthesize Wu Ma Powder, even losing his life. Just for these things on Earth Dragon, it's a bit unreasonable. The two of them came out of the miasma leaf forest, discussed again and again, and were about to carefully search the sea of rotten leaves. Song Yun suddenly received a letter from the Flying Sword of the Gouyan Sect Lu, urgently summoning her to return to Liu Shifeng.
The master had an order and he couldn't shirk it. Song Yun thought to himself that he didn't know how long it would take to get back down the mountain. In desperation, he simply gave up the benefits to Deng Yuantong as a big favor to Xiandu. Deng Yuantong took the decision without authorization. In addition to extracting a soul, he handed over the Earth Dragon's body and all the inner elixirs to Song Yun, and hurried back to Xianyun Peak to report to the leader. Xi Huzi was so shrewd that he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately ordered Qingyang Palace to open a furnace to refine a batch of poison-preventing pills. It took more than a month to refine them. He also asked He Jingxian and Elder He to come out and lead his disciples to Miasma. Ye Lin.
The earth dragon has been eliminated, and there are no more monsters hiding in the sea of rotten leaves. He Jingxian and others spent half a year to find two "black-hearted lotuses" from the depths of the sea of rotten leaves. They had no branches or leaves, and the flowers bloomed with thirteen petals. The heart is dyed like ink. He Jingxian regarded it as a treasure and put the Black Heart Lotus into the jade box himself, not letting anyone else handle it. Although Li Shaoyu and others knew they had found something good, they didn't even see it.
After the group returned to Xianyun Peak, He Jingxian immediately went to see the leader. The two discussed secretly for a long time in the Sanqing Hall. When they left, He Jingxian's hands were empty and he left the two black heart lotuses to Xi Huzi.
The black-hearted lotus in the sea of rotten leaves grew out of the miasma and was nourished day and night by the demonic energy of the earth dragon. It is a good medicine for removing hidden wounds. Xi Huzi has been looking for this black-hearted lotus for more than ten years, but he did not expect that it would take no effort at all.
On the day of the leader's birthday, the disciples from the inner sect, the outer sect, and the trial disciples of the Immortal Capital gathered outside the Sanqing Palace. They took turns congratulating the leader on his birthday, kowtowing and serving wine. Xi Huzi accepted the gift with a smile. His face was still gloomy, but his expression was much more relaxed. .
After the ceremony, a group of outer disciples and trial disciples exited Changying Temple, leaving only twenty-one inner disciples for the seven-year competition. Among the inner disciples, there are five disciples of Xi Huzi, and the first disciple Xun Ye is in the life and death gate at Yingzui Rock. The only ones present are Li Shaoyu, Deng Yuantong, Liu Baizi, Wei Rongniang, and sixteen second-generation disciples, including Wei Shiqi. Five people, including Qin Zhen, Xu Li, Xin Laoyao, and Shi Bi, have recently been promoted to the inner sect. The remaining eleven people have different cultivation levels. The shallow ones have just condensed into Tao embryos, and the deep ones have already cultivated sword radiance.
The sword competition in Chixia Valley is about to begin. In addition to the headmaster Xi Huzi, the elders from Penglai, Qingyang, Zhuming, Baizang, and Xuanying palaces are also present in person to pay attention to this competition.
There were two rounds of big scores. First, the second-generation disciples recommended five people to compete.
Xunye only accepted one disciple, Wei Shiqi, who had to show up. The other four second-generation disciples were Zhao Zongxuan from Li Shaoyu's disciple, Xie Hu from Deng Yuantong's disciple, Han Tuo from Liu Baizi's disciple, and Duan Wenhuan from Wei Rongniang's disciple.
Fu Baoyuan, the palm print boy next to Xi Huzi, held a bamboo stick in his hand, with five bamboo sticks inserted, and asked Wei Shiqi and others to each take one. There are eight lots in this set, namely sky, lake, fire, thunder, earth, mountain, water, and wind. Fu Baoyuan picked five of them. As a result, Zhao Zongxuan drew the sky lot, Xie Falcon drew the Ze lot, and Duan Wenhuan drew the lot. In the mountain lot, Han Tuo drew the wind lot, and Wei Shiqi drew the thunder lot.
The sky lottery has a bye, the Ze lottery is against the Mountain lottery, and the Wind lottery is against the Thunder lottery.
Duan Wenhuan breathed a sigh of relief after finally avoiding Wei Shiqi. If he were defeated by his fire stick in front of everyone, it would be a big loss! As for Xie Falcon, a disciple of Uncle Deng, he knew the basics and was not very afraid.
Wei Shiqi put the thunder stick back into the holder, and suddenly remembered that when he tested his disciple Xiao Bi, Lu Shizhong drew a long dice, Xun Ye and Zhang Jinghe each drew a short dice, and placed the long and short dices in the holder. , how come they are the same length and no difference can be seen? Master Xun is locked up in life and death. When will he be able to come out? Will you miss Chixia Valley Sword Discussion?
He was a little distracted.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Zhen had been paying attention to every move of her senior brother. When she saw that his eyes were dull and thoughtful, she couldn't help but cough on purpose to remind him to concentrate. Wei Shiqi looked up at her and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Wei Rongniang saw everything in her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head. Is this lazy guy confident, or is he deliberately exaggerating?
Fu Bao Yuanlang said: "Senior Brother Han, Junior Brother Wei, Feng Lei goes first!"
The two stepped onto the bluestone ground one after another, stood facing each other, and bowed in salute.
Han Tuo was born in a peasant family. He is tall and stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks a bit honest. He has been under Liu Baizi's disciples for ten years. He has mastered swordsmanship and is only one step away from breaking through the Jianmang Pass. Among the second generation disciples , ranking among the top five in terms of strength,
He pulled out a dagger from his waist, placed the sword blade on his left wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Wei, I'm asking for advice!"
