The night was getting deeper, and when Ji Yuanxi came to the suzerain's cave, the Taoist boy outside the door looked drowsy.
Seeing someone coming, Dao Tong was about to say something like "It's too late to disturb the suzerain Qingxiu". After seeing who was coming, he respectfully saluted and went in to announce.
The suzerain wore a simple white shirt and said, "Yuanxi, come here so late, what happened?"
"Yes! A great thing has happened!" Ji Yuanxi opened the wooden box with joy, revealing the beautiful long sword inside, "Lord Sovereign, look, this is my birthday present!"
Ji Yuanxi cherished the sword and danced it casually. The suzerain looked at it solemnly for a while, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yuanxi, this sword suits you very well, but isn't it broken?"
"..." Ji Yuanxi hesitated for a while, and said that the Liejue sword was broken during the last training trip.
The suzerain remained silent, and finally sighed slowly after a long time, "Forget it... Yuanxi, who gave this sword?"
"I don't know." Ji Yuanxi replied honestly, "But Dao Tong said that the guests present today brought them."
"This sword is nothing special, take it over and show me a closer look."
Ji Yuanxi puts his hands up.
The suzerain's old and haggard hand caressed the blade of the sword. He looked at it for a while and said, "Yuanxi, this sword is made of black iron that has been around for thousands of years. It is unusual for ordinary people to get it. Even I have only seen it a few times. , you... when did you know someone who can get Wannian Black Iron?...and also waste Wannian Black Iron into swords."
Ji Yuanxi: "???"
Wannian black iron is too rare, it can be known from the name.
A piece of black iron, which is already rare, has to be buried deep underground for ten thousand years without being discovered... Maybe it is easier to go to the blue sky.
Such a rare piece of black iron can be blended into an ordinary magic weapon with the amount of a small fingernail, and the power of the magic weapon can be increased by ten times compared with before. imagine it.
"I don't know who gave it to me, it's too generous." Ji Yuanxi's eyes were full of shock.
Who is it?How can he repay this favor?
"Wannian Xuantie will definitely be auctioned at the auction. If there is no news, it must have been bought by the buyer before the auction at a price that satisfies the seller without an auction." The suzerain thought for a moment, then said : "However, it is also possible that it was not bought, but that person was very lucky and dug it himself."
Ji Yuanxi was even more shocked.
Who exactly is...
The suzerain looked serious and asked, "Yuanxi, what's the name of this sword?"
Ji Yuanxi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it hasn't been named yet."
The suzerain looked at the sword again.
His hand slid across the blade, caressing over the hilt.There were flame patterns engraved on the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, his fingers touched a bulge that didn't seem to belong to that pattern. He couldn't help picking up the sword, and looked at it seriously with solemn and old eyes.
The suzerain looked at it carefully for a while, and his expression became a little more dignified. He slowly read out the two small words carved on the hilt of the sword: "Wang... the stream."
"What is this?" Ji Yuanxi asked, "The one on the hilt should be the name of the sword, right?"
"Yes."
Ji Yuanxi came to a sudden: "It turns out that it is called Wangxi Sword, which is a nice name, and the person who named it is very qualified."
The suzerain's eyes moved, and his serious eyes stopped on Ji Yuanxi's face.
"Yuanxi, you really don't know who gave this sword?"
Ji Yuanxi was at a loss: "Sovereign, the disciple really doesn't know."
"The name of the sword also makes it impossible for you to guess?"
"... Is there anything special about this name? Can it still let me guess who is sending the sword?" Ji Yuanxi laughed as he said, "Is the name of this sword the one who dug up the Wannian Xuantie?" That person, he actually found it beside a stream? Then I will go to the stream to stroll more in the future, maybe I can find a piece of the same precious Wannian black iron."
The Sovereign was silent.
It's no wonder that my little Yuanxi has been unable to settle down for many years. It turned out that when he took the initiative, he always played tricks on others. Once others took the initiative to pursue him, he was actually dull to the point of dullness.
If the matter is said by oneself, it loses its meaning.
Only when Xiao Yuanxi discovers it someday, or the person who sent the sword takes the initiative to inform him, then will his dull feelings have a big breakthrough.
So the suzerain smiled and said, "Maybe."
After a pause, he still didn't give up, and asked again: "Yuanxi, did you meet any noble people when you went out for training last time?"
"Yes." Ji Yuanxi nodded, "It's the owner of a manor, he is very rich, his name is Xie Fengxue, he also came here to give congratulatory gifts on the student's birthday today, maybe you didn't know the owner and didn't pay attention."
"I don't know this person, maybe he's not a cultivator, did anything interesting happen with him?"
"I can't talk about interesting things, but he helped the disciple, and the disciple is grateful to him."
The suzerain wrote down this name in his heart, and planned to send someone to investigate this person during the day.
The suzerain used a smile on his face to cover up the deepness in his eyes, and asked in another way: "Then have you met anyone who is higher than your level and can't afford to offend?"
The suzerain spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was really talking to the returned disciples about the people they met and the fun things that happened during their training.
Can't afford to offend?
Ji Yuanxi can only think of that man, but he can't tell the suzerain.
It seems that Shen Guangye also counts?
... Bah, he deserves it too.
Ji Yuanxi shook his head: "No."
The suzerain looked at him with a smile, and asked some things that happened during the training. The two had a very happy conversation, and Ji Yuanxi swiped with his hands, making the suzerain very happy.
After chatting for a long time, the face of that man suddenly appeared in Ji Yuanxi's mind.
In front of him is the suzerain of the first sect, and there are probably few things in the world that he doesn't know, so Ji Yuanxi really wanted to ask him something he had been curious about.
Then he asked directly: "Suzerain, do you know the current Demon Lord in the Demon Realm?"
The suzerain raised his eyebrows: "Why did you mention him suddenly?"
Ji Yuanxi said: "Some time ago, the disciple accidentally read something about the Demon Lord in a script, and was a little curious about him."
The suzerain said: "Yuanxi, don't be interested in him. This person is vicious. If possible, I hope you will never meet him in your life."
Ji Yuanxi, who met on the first day after traveling: "..."
?I don't want to meet either? ? ?
Fortunately, I am very good at hunting, and have special killing skills?
Ji Yuanxi found a reason that was in line with what the original owner would say, and said: "But the portrait drawn in the story book, that demon elder is very outstanding."
Except for Moxiu, most of the people who have seen Mozun's true face are dead, and there will be no portrait of him left in the storybook. Even if there is, it is either guessed by the artist out of thin air, or painted according to the description in other people's mouth, no matter what, It is impossible to be the true appearance of the Demon Lord.
The suzerain stared at Ji Yuanxi, looked at it seriously for a while, and said: "Yuanxi, I hope you don't have any relationship with him, no matter how good-looking he is, don't think about this life that you shouldn't have. .”
"?" Ji Yuanxi argued, "Lord Sovereign, I don't? I'm just curious, and I just want to ask about him."
Damn, if it hadn't been mentioned by the part he read in the book, he wouldn't want to ask.
"You promise me first, don't get involved with this person, if you do meet, you have to leave immediately."
"?" Ji Yuanxi: "Sovereign, it's not that serious, is it?"
The suzerain sighed and said, "That's because you haven't seen him."
"..."
"You promise me."
The suzerain showed that expression that people could not refuse again, as if hearing the words of rejection, he would immediately faint and fall to the ground.
"...The disciple promises you."
"swear."
Ji Yuanxi said, and finally said: "If you break your oath, may the sky strike you with lightning."
Then secretly added a sentence in my heart, when I was crossing the catastrophe, there was a thunderbolt.
"go ahead."
Ji Yuanxi began to make up a few random things: "The storybook said that he lost his father at the age of three, his mother at the age of five, and his dog at the age of seven. Even if he lost his whole family, is that true? Then he is so pitiful." .”
"Yuanxi, do you sympathize with him?"
As long as there is no emotion involved, Ji Yuanxi's brain will immediately turn fast, and he quickly smells something wrong from the suzerain's words.
pity?
... So, what I was talking about is actually true?
"I didn't sympathize with him." Ji Yuanxi shook his head and said something in line with the original owner, "I won't sympathize with any demon cultivator."
"Then why are you?"
"Just... don't mention that person's identity, just sigh about this life experience alone." The speed of Ji Yuanxi's brain and mouth synchronized in an instant, "Sovereign, put aside the identity of the demon, and change it to anyone's name , don't you think the other party is very pitiful?"
Ji Yuanxi's expression and tone were very sincere, so the suzerain didn't continue to ask, and said: "It's very pitiful."
"Then this background is... I'm just curious."
"Half-truth, half-false." The suzerain touched his long beard and said, "If you want to hear it, make me a pot of tea."
It seems that there is a long story to be heard, Ji Yuanxi happily agreed, and soon came back with a cup of hot tea, moved a stool and sat down.
The suzerain lifted the lid, took a sip, as if lost in memory, and said slowly: "This is all from more than a thousand years ago. He was originally from the Immortal Mansion."
"His mother was an immortal cultivator, and his father was the Demon Lord at that time."
"His mother was found to have an affair with the Demon Lord when he was ten years old. The people in the Immortal Mansion executed her. One year later, he took revenge by slaughtering the entire Immortal Mansion."
"That's 160 lives..."
Ji Yuanxi couldn't help interrupting in surprise: "11 years old? How did you do it?"
"That's not known, maybe some crooked method was used."
Ji Yuanxi showed an expression of obediently listening to the story, the suzerain took a sip of tea and continued to talk.
"On the day he came of age, a monk in our sect killed his father, who was the Demon Lord who was in power at that time."
"The monk cut off his father's head and hung it above the plaque on the gate of Yanyuezong, and hung it for three months."
Grass……
No wonder the book says that there is blood and deep hatred, who can bear it.
Ji Yuanxi put his hands on the table unconsciously, his hands intertwined nervously.
The suzerain glanced at the ring on his left middle finger, and couldn't help asking: "Yuanxi, did you change to a storage ring?"
Ji Yuanxi looked down and subconsciously covered it with his right hand. In an instant, he thought that he shouldn't have made such a move, and stretched out his hand generously, showing a bright smile: "Yes, suzerain, look, isn't it? very beautiful?"
The suzerain's gaze was fixed on the ring, and he did not move for a long time.
The material of that ring is very rare, and it cannot be obtained in the world of cultivating immortals... and only he with a sharp vision can distinguish it.
The suzerain looked at it carefully for a while, and after a long time, a smile appeared on his mouth: "Yuanxi, it is very beautiful."
He didn't want to ask how he got it, even if he asked, most of what he got would be a carefully woven lie.
The suzerain's heart sank slowly.
Seeing that the suzerain had no doubts about the ring, and his expression was quite normal, Ji Yuanxi felt more at ease, and said, "Master suzerain, please continue, I want to hear the story behind."
"I don't know about the dog, and I don't know much about the whole family—his mother has only one child, and there may be too many other half-brothers." The suzerain waved his hand and said, "Yuanxi, what do you ask?" There are only so many life experiences, this seat is finished, well, it is too late, this seat is tired, you should go back and rest."
"Oh... then the disciple will leave without disturbing you. Sovereign, please rest well and have a good dream."
Holding the wooden box, Ji Yuanxi walked out of the cave with ease.
The suzerain quietly watched Ji Yuanxi's shrinking back with a sad expression that Ji Yuanxi couldn't see, and he swore in his heart that no matter what reason or excuse he used, he would treat this child whom he loved since he was a child as his own. Stay in Yanyue Sect for a long time.
He is never allowed to go out again.
By any means.
After a long pause, the suzerain's expression returned to normal, and he called Daotong: "Order to go down and investigate a person named Xie Fengxue, and also inquire about the top few people on the list of smelting craftsmen. Ask about the 'Wangxi Sword' while revealing your identity... Except for the investigators, I don't want to hear the news that anyone else will be alarmed."
The next day, the first thing Ji Yuanxi did after waking up was to tear apart the gift from Yan Qianqiu.
The object was extremely huge, a square box of super invincible, and the process of opening the box was very difficult.
After opening, it was a box, and when it was opened again, it was still a box. Ji Yuanxi was full of question marks, thinking that he was playing with Russian dolls.
After dismantling for a long time, it was a long object in the end.
Ji Yuanxi suddenly felt bad: "Could it be a sword too?"
He hesitated to open it, it wasn't a sword, but the sword had a very close relationship, it was a scabbard.
Ji Yuanxi tried the scabbard with the Wangxi sword, and it was very suitable. He went to Yan Qianqiu and asked in surprise: "How do you know that I am short of a scabbard?"
Yan Qianqiu smiled and said, "Do you like it?"
Ji Yuanxi nodded: "I like it very much."
Yan Qianqiu said: "I see that you use the same sword every time you practice your sword. After you practice, you always throw the sword away at random, and you have never placed it seriously, so I just sketched out the size of the sword. , went to find someone to build this scabbard."
"Thank you Qianqiu, you have a heart."
It turned out to be the case.
The sword he used when practicing swords is indeed about the same size as the Wangxi sword, but the power of the two is vastly different.
Time flies and soon it will be the time for the apprentice acceptance ceremony in the coming year. The sun is warm and warm on the body. Except for Stepping Xuefeng, the rest of the Yanyue Sect is full of spring.
Ji Yuanxi originally thought that the eggs of the Golden Flame Red Feather Phoenix would hatch soon, but until more than half a year passed, the eggs still maintained the appearance of eggs, but they were much bigger than before.
It gives people a feeling that it is not a bird, but a huge creature like a dinosaur.
Ji Yuanxi stared at the phoenix egg and thought, is this a phoenix Nezha?
The sight was burning hot, and the phoenix egg seemed to be embarrassed by being looked at, and with a slight sound, a thin crack was cracked from it.
Ji Yuanxi: "???"
what's the situation!
The phoenix egg was actually opened by him with his eyes! ! !
It turns out that his eyes can be compared with a grand sage named grandson! ! !
Ji Yuanxi hurriedly held the phoenix egg, lightly, and placed it in the feathered nest that he had prepared a long time ago.
Staring intently at the phoenix egg, Ji Yuanxi's palms were sweating nervously.
It took a long time for the second crack to appear on the egg. With more and more cracks, the shell seemed to be unable to support it, and the whole ground cracked.
A wet, very tired yellow... chicken came into view.
Although the eggs are large, the resulting fur pups are small.
Ji Yuanxi has never seen Phoenix when he was just born. Except for the golden eyes, the appearance of the little Phoenix is no different from the chicks he has seen.
"Hello?" Ji Yuanxi leaned over to greet him friendly, "My name is Ji Yuanxi, and I'm your master."
Ji Yuanxi has heard that birds regard the first animal they see as their mother, so he doesn't care if Little Phoenix understands it or not, he has to declare in advance that he is not his mother.
Then he heard Little Phoenix's immature voice calling: "Mother."
"?"
Without complaining about why the little phoenix could talk when he was just born, Ji Yuanxi corrected: "It's not the mother, it's the master?"
"Mom, mother, mother, mother, mother..."
Little Phoenix shook her wet feathers and called a series of mothers.
Ji Yuanxi: "..."
This can't work.
Ji Yuanxi had no choice but to say: "Call Daddy, hurry up, call Daddy."
Little Phoenix yelled again: "Mother, mother, mother..."
Ji Yuanxi taught very patiently for half an hour, but finally he gave up and gave up—because he found that Xiao Fenghuang seemed to only be able to say this word.
After yelling for a long time, it seemed that he was tired, and Xiao Fenghuang fell to the side, but he didn't move anymore.
Ji Yuanxi's heart skipped a beat. He knew that birds sleep standing up. Could it be that Little Phoenix... died?
He poked it with his index finger, and Little Phoenix beat him impatiently with his wings.
...Well, it's just resting.
When Little Phoenix woke up, there was a mountain of meat in front of it.
Little Phoenix: "???"
Although it doesn't know how to speak yet, after it got its spiritual consciousness, it learned a lot through the eggshell every day in the egg. It hasn't been long since it broke its shell. Just eat a little bit.
Is this trying to kill it?
A face that seemed to be able to reverse all sentient beings suddenly approached it, and the little phoenix retreated, and it heard the man say: "Are you hungry? Eat something quickly."
It flapped its wings and wanted to talk, telling the man that it couldn't eat that much, but the sound from its beak was a series of: "Mother, mother, mother..."
Then it saw that this person showed the appearance of admitting defeat, and said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, I will be your mother, who told you that the first person you saw was me?"
The man finished speaking in a reluctant tone, and suddenly a bright smile appeared, "Your name is Yan, how is it, do you like it?"
Hmm... the name is pretty good.
Little Phoenix's ignorant Jin Tong blinked and flapped his wings in agreement.
Ji Yuanxi touched the top of its head with a finger, and said in a gentle voice: "Ah Yan, you need to grow up quickly."
After speaking, he stuffed a piece of meat in the past.
He was feeding meat to the resisting little phoenix, when Daotong came to deliver the suzerain's call, Ji Yuanxi hurriedly wiped his hands and got up, and the little phoenix fell down in the nest like the rest of his life.
The suzerain called Ji Yuanxi to go, which meant two things.
One is to tell him the prudent decision to accept Ji Shen as his apprentice.
Second, as a price, Ji Yuanxi was asked to learn medicine refining, and he could not come out of the alchemy building until he became an intermediate alchemist.
Is there a better deal than this?
As an intermediate alchemist, it takes about 20 years for ordinary people to start from scratch. With the guidance of the original book and the talent of the original owner, Ji Yuanxi is confident that he can become an intermediate alchemist within ten years.
As for high-level alchemists, it will take 30 years to become intermediate alchemists, and even more time will be spent for top-level alchemists above that.
I still need to practice, there is no need to spend all my time on it, after all, it is not a matter of concentrating on alchemy, maybe the suzerain also thinks so, and only uses intermediate alchemists in exchange.
Ji Yuanxi has never dreamed of that man since that time, and the strong impulse to become a sect at that time has also gradually subsided after half a year.
Now that the disciple acceptance ceremony is about to be held, Ji Shen's matter is in front of him, it is imminent, he cannot refuse, he must agree to the suzerain's exchange.
Ji Yuanxi didn't want to disappoint the trust of Ji Shen, a friend, it was a kind of trust that he could feel from the other party's heart.
The rest will come later.
He can still live for hundreds of years, there is still a lot of time, isn't there?
The day of the apprenticeship ceremony is coming soon.
The main hall of the Yanyue Sect was bustling with people kneeling, most of these people were teenagers and girls, some of them came from the Cultivation Clan, some were invited, some came by themselves, but most of them were from Xiaozong when they were young. A disciple of another sect with a certain foundation and self-confidence who has cultivated in the small sect.
They knelt quietly, with their heads bowed respectfully. No one looked up, and no one whispered. They were all children who knew how to behave.
The high seat in the innermost part of the hall was empty, and there were two side seats, one on the left and one on the right. On one side sat the deputy suzerain who assisted the sect's affairs, and on the other sat the elder who was in charge of all things in life.
The rest of the peak masters and immortals are seated on both sides.
These boys and girls have been selected three times, and they have obtained certificates for passing the assessment. They appeared in the hall this time to learn from their teachers.
If one is lucky enough to be selected by a certain immortal, then he will be considered as an official disciple of Yanyue Sect who can show off in the world of cultivating immortals.
Kneeling for too long, many people in the hall inevitably lost their minds.
Just when they were distracted, a person appeared out of nowhere on the high seat, it seemed that it only took a blink of an eye.
This person has white hair and beard, is dignified and solemn, and has an extraordinary momentum, as if he can see through all the intentions of the other party's heart just by raising his eyes.
He is the current suzerain of Yanyue Sect.
The strange thing is that no one in the world of cultivating immortals knows his name or name, but as long as he shows up, his thunderous momentum that cannot be ignored makes everyone dare not have any intention of making mistakes.
The suzerain had spoken, and the disciple acceptance ceremony officially began.
The person whose name was called looked up in surprise, and immediately a fairy who had taken a fancy to him went to lead him up and lead him to stand behind his seat.
There were fewer and fewer people kneeling in the hall, and as time went by, only a young man with silver-white hair remained.
The rest of the people who were accepted as apprentices by Xianzun looked at him with strange eyes.
They all felt that this person would be the only one not chosen by the Immortal Venerable.
All waiting to see the excitement.
Ji Yuanxi looked anxious, fidgeting, and frantically gestured to the suzerain with his eyes.
He planned to wait a little longer, and if the suzerain couldn't get up to speak again, he decided to take Ji Shen as his disciple.
It was better than disappointing Ji Shen and letting everyone present see a joke for no reason.
The suzerain groaned and stroked his long beard. He was about to speak, when suddenly a stern voice came from below: "This seat accepts him as a disciple."
Ji Yuanxi: "?"
Subconsciously following the voice, he saw a man in white clothes who was as cold as ice.
Ji Yuanxi has an impression of this person, he is the peak master of Beiluan Peak, the Venerable Beiluan Jing Yu.
This person and the suzerain are brothers of the same generation, and they have a profound realm that is about to break through to the tribulation stage in the late stage of distraction.His realm can be ranked in front of the entire Yanyue Sect.
In his realm, he can establish a mountain and establish a sect on his own. With his relationship with the suzerain, it is no problem to become the deputy suzerain, but he is willing to live in a peak for many years and practice in seclusion. He is a cold-faced and very hard-to-talk character.
The last time he accepted an apprentice was a hundred years ago, that apprentice was unfortunately caught in a dangerous situation and died, and he never took any apprentice after that.He also has no Taoist partner, and has been alone for many years, a hard block of ice that no one dares to approach and no one can melt.
Jing Yu?What does he want to do?
Did he discuss it with the suzerain?
Ji Yuanxi looked at Jing Yu suspiciously.
The eyes of the audience full of countless emotions were cast on Jing Yu, but he was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard it, and walked straight towards the silver-haired young man in the center of the hall.
Ji Shen was a little confused.
He thought that seeing Ji Yuanxi on the seat of the Immortal Venerable was enough to shock him for ten years.
His name was not on the list, and no Daotong pronounced his name. No one chose him. He was left to the end. I thought I would make a joke, or be accepted as an apprentice by my good friend Ji Yuanxi, but now... unexpectedly. Anyone else willing to accept him as a disciple?
The other party must be aware of his realm, and if he is willing to stand up, he must think he can teach him. This... what kind of realm is this great power?
Jing Yu walked up to Ji Shen, and slowly took Ji Shen's hand in the eyes of everyone.His hands were very cold, as if they had just been taken out of the ice room, Ji Shen flinched subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, he was held tightly by the other party.
Ji Shen was led to stand up by an irresistible force, and he heard the humanity in front of him, who seemed to be exuding an infinite chill, said: "From now on, I will be your master."
Everyone was shocked.
After the disciple receiving hall was over, Ji Shen was taken straight back to Beiluan Sect by Jing Yu, Ji Yuanxi only had time to look at him, and didn't even have a chance to say a word to him.
Ji Yuanxi found the suzerain: "Master suzerain, what...what is going on!? Can this disciple get an explanation from you?"
There was a rare trace of confusion in the eyes of the suzerain: "I don't know either?"
"?" Ji Yuanxi asked, "Didn't you agree with Uncle Jing Yu?"
Looking at the entire Yanyue Sect, only Ji Yuanxi can call Jing Yu like this, even so, he dare not call the other party's name directly alone.
If it is said to go to Beiluan Peak to find Ji Shen, Ji Yuanxi can't think of that at all.
This Venerable Beiluan is a true Venerable, not something that the fake Venerable Jiyue can compare to. Besides, the frightening look in that person's eyes seems to be no different from that of the Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm.
The suzerain shook his head and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with junior brother?"
"The disciple wants to know too!"
Ji Shen was accepted as an apprentice by Jing Yu, unless Ji Shen took the initiative to look for him, Ji Yuanxi would never have the courage to go to Beiluan Peak to look for him.
Thinking of how hard it was to come to Yanyue Sect, but might not even be able to say a word, Ji Yuanxi was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
The suzerain caressed his long beard and said with a smile: "Yuanxi, your friend has successfully entered the Yanyue Sect after all. Don't forget to fulfill the promise you made to me earlier."
"..." Ji Yuanxi said, "But this is clearly different from what was agreed before!"
"Yuanxi, this is a better result than that." The suzerain said earnestly, "It's much better for my younger brother to accept him as an apprentice than for me to accept him as an apprentice. You should know the reason for it in your heart, so you don't need to say anything Alright."
Ji Yuanxi was dumb.
The suzerain was right.
So he still wants to go to the alchemy building.
Thinking about the good, anyway, you can't come out of the building until you become an intermediate alchemist. This seems to be no different from not seeing Ji Shen even though you are in Jiyue Peak.
This made him feel better.
Ji Yuanxi explained all the affairs of Jiyue Peak, and entered the alchemy building alone.
The sun and the moon change, time flies.
Ji Yuanxi faced the alchemy furnace all day long, and was covered in ashes by the inevitable ashes. He lived alone in a room and no one saw him anyway. After a long time, he even washed his face lazily.
Occasionally, alchemists came in to teach and guide, and Ji Yuanxi made rapid progress.
Almost to the point where it feels scary.
The suzerain listened to Daotong's report, he was happy for Ji Yuanxi, but also worried that he would come out in less than 20 years, both happy and worried.
However, in just one year, Ji Yuanxi successfully passed the assessment and received a token symbolizing a junior alchemist.
"Thank you, thank you!" When Ji Yuanxi got the token, he ran up and down the alchemy building happily, and other disciples in the alchemy could hear a series of "hahahahaha" voices coming from the corridor.
After that, the speed of progress gradually slowed down.
One day, Ji Yuanxi encountered a bottleneck period.
His attainments in alchemy had stayed in one place for two months, and he was a little worried.
The alchemist instructed by his own bottleneck could not break through for him, so he could only figure out a way by himself.
Soon he thought of a way.
He asked Dao Tong to pass on the message, begged bitterly, and got a map of the elixir that could only be refined by a top alchemist from the suzerain.
When Ji Yuanxi got the atlas, he saw that it was a elixir atlas that could instantly heal all wounds on his body. Even if it was a fatal wound, this elixir could do it.
Moreover, the additional effect of this elixir is that it can restore a large amount of cultivation.
As long as he can learn this atlas with the strength of an elementary alchemist, he will be able to break through the bottleneck smoothly, no, just learn it a little bit.
However, it is impossible for a junior alchemist to learn the atlas of a top alchemist. No one in the world of immortality has ever done it.
Ji Yuanxi did it.
He spent six years and exhausted various methods to learn this map and refine a crimson elixir.
He also successfully advanced to an intermediate alchemist.
This incident shocked the entire world of cultivating immortals.
No one could expect that Venerable Jiyue, who has made rapid progress in cultivation, has such a high attainment in alchemy.
Ji Yuanxi finally stepped out of the alchemy building, Jiyue Peak has been overcrowded for a long time.
Ji Yuanxi finally met Ji Shen.
With tears in the corners of Ji Shen's eyes, he missed him very much: "Brother Ji, I miss you so much!"
"Brother Ji, me too!"
The two hugged each other emotionally.
After parting, Ji Yuanxi asked: "How have you been in Beiluan Peak for so many years, how did Uncle Jing Yu treat you?"
Ji Shen replied: "In the beginning, people often provoked and humiliated me. I was okay when I was in Beiluan Peak. They didn't dare to come. Whenever I go out, many people will come to me."
"I don't know from that day on, there are no more people who humiliate me. Everyone is very polite to me. I am very grateful even for the superficial politeness."
"I know it's Master who came forward, so I practice hard, hoping not to embarrass Master."
"With the teacher's teaching, the speed of cultivation will really be much faster. Although others treat me politely, I still haven't made any sincere friends, so I have been focusing all my energy on cultivation."
"Brother Ji, let me tell you secretly that my current state may already be on par with yours."
Ji Yuanxi was happy for him: "That's good."
Ji Shen said: "But it is also because you have been studying alchemy for the past seven years, otherwise I would not be able to catch up with you so quickly... Speaking of which, your progress in alchemy is too terrifying. It would take others 20 years to catch up with you." You did it in just seven short years, what kind of person are you? Are you a god? You must be a god, haha."
Ji Yuanxi, who was blowing the rainbow, was happy physically and mentally, and his tail instantly went up into the sky: "Of course, after all, I am worthy of it!"
"'As expected of me', very good, I learned it, I will grab this word, and I will use it in the future." Ji Shen said happily.
"Give it to you."
After that, Ji Shen often came to look for Ji Yuanxi, Yan Qianqiu was there occasionally, and soon Ji Shen and Yan Qianqiu became good friends who talked about everything.
Time flies, and another two years have passed.
Everything is as usual, except that Little Phoenix still maintains the appearance of a chicken, which has not changed at all for so many years, the only difference is that the food intake is much larger than before.
Ji Yuanxi couldn't help thinking that the growth rate of the beast and pet was too slow.
Almost no one who comes to Jiyue Peak has seen the real Golden Flame Red Feather Phoenix, let alone know its juvenile state. Ji Yuanxi flipped through the ancient books, and there was only a portrait of an adult Golden Flame Red Feather Phoenix on it, so everyone always thought He raised a chick that couldn't grow up after taking a growth-inhibiting elixir.
Little Phoenix is very familiar with Jiyue Peak, it jumps up and down the tree nimbly and vigorously, Ji Yuanxi holds his hands under the tree with a mother's heart, for fear that Little Phoenix will fall off if he is not careful .
"Yan! Be careful!"
Knowing that this was its name, Little Phoenix looked down at Ji Yuanxi, then continued to jump up and down the tree.
Ji Yuanxi called out as he moved: "Ah Yan! Ah Yan! Ah Yan!...Ah Yan!"
He yelled so much that his throat was almost dry.
Seeing this, Dao Tong brought a cup of tea over, and Ji Yuanxi moistened his throat and said, "What day is it today, why is it so hot?"
When Daotong said it, Ji Yuanxi was taken aback.
He remembered in a trance that this was the day when he was driven away by that man.
Ten years, I don't know how he is doing now?
You must be happy without being annoying by your side, right?
Ji Yuanxi shook his head and didn't think about it. Anyway, he was still alive, which meant that the other party's life was not worried at all. Maybe he was living a very nourishing life in a certain part of this continent at this moment.
At night, Daotong handed over an invitation.
The red invitation card was very festive, and one could tell at a glance that a new couple was about to get married.
With a great reputation, there are too many people who want to invite Ji Yuanxi to the Daoist Companion Ceremony. Daoist boys are always selective, and rarely present invitations for viewing.
So Ji Yuanxi opened it with doubts.
The words above were nothing special, but the two names at the bottom deeply pricked his eyes.
The two actually knew each other.
"Ye Zhao...and..." Ji Yuanxi was stunned, and it took him a while to pronounce another name: "...Gu Yan."
Ye Zhao, he remembered, was the original owner's first love, the kind he had loved before.
...when did these two get it
Seeing someone coming, Dao Tong was about to say something like "It's too late to disturb the suzerain Qingxiu". After seeing who was coming, he respectfully saluted and went in to announce.
The suzerain wore a simple white shirt and said, "Yuanxi, come here so late, what happened?"
"Yes! A great thing has happened!" Ji Yuanxi opened the wooden box with joy, revealing the beautiful long sword inside, "Lord Sovereign, look, this is my birthday present!"
Ji Yuanxi cherished the sword and danced it casually. The suzerain looked at it solemnly for a while, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yuanxi, this sword suits you very well, but isn't it broken?"
"..." Ji Yuanxi hesitated for a while, and said that the Liejue sword was broken during the last training trip.
The suzerain remained silent, and finally sighed slowly after a long time, "Forget it... Yuanxi, who gave this sword?"
"I don't know." Ji Yuanxi replied honestly, "But Dao Tong said that the guests present today brought them."
"This sword is nothing special, take it over and show me a closer look."
Ji Yuanxi puts his hands up.
The suzerain's old and haggard hand caressed the blade of the sword. He looked at it for a while and said, "Yuanxi, this sword is made of black iron that has been around for thousands of years. It is unusual for ordinary people to get it. Even I have only seen it a few times. , you... when did you know someone who can get Wannian Black Iron?...and also waste Wannian Black Iron into swords."
Ji Yuanxi: "???"
Wannian black iron is too rare, it can be known from the name.
A piece of black iron, which is already rare, has to be buried deep underground for ten thousand years without being discovered... Maybe it is easier to go to the blue sky.
Such a rare piece of black iron can be blended into an ordinary magic weapon with the amount of a small fingernail, and the power of the magic weapon can be increased by ten times compared with before. imagine it.
"I don't know who gave it to me, it's too generous." Ji Yuanxi's eyes were full of shock.
Who is it?How can he repay this favor?
"Wannian Xuantie will definitely be auctioned at the auction. If there is no news, it must have been bought by the buyer before the auction at a price that satisfies the seller without an auction." The suzerain thought for a moment, then said : "However, it is also possible that it was not bought, but that person was very lucky and dug it himself."
Ji Yuanxi was even more shocked.
Who exactly is...
The suzerain looked serious and asked, "Yuanxi, what's the name of this sword?"
Ji Yuanxi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it hasn't been named yet."
The suzerain looked at the sword again.
His hand slid across the blade, caressing over the hilt.There were flame patterns engraved on the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, his fingers touched a bulge that didn't seem to belong to that pattern. He couldn't help picking up the sword, and looked at it seriously with solemn and old eyes.
The suzerain looked at it carefully for a while, and his expression became a little more dignified. He slowly read out the two small words carved on the hilt of the sword: "Wang... the stream."
"What is this?" Ji Yuanxi asked, "The one on the hilt should be the name of the sword, right?"
"Yes."
Ji Yuanxi came to a sudden: "It turns out that it is called Wangxi Sword, which is a nice name, and the person who named it is very qualified."
The suzerain's eyes moved, and his serious eyes stopped on Ji Yuanxi's face.
"Yuanxi, you really don't know who gave this sword?"
Ji Yuanxi was at a loss: "Sovereign, the disciple really doesn't know."
"The name of the sword also makes it impossible for you to guess?"
"... Is there anything special about this name? Can it still let me guess who is sending the sword?" Ji Yuanxi laughed as he said, "Is the name of this sword the one who dug up the Wannian Xuantie?" That person, he actually found it beside a stream? Then I will go to the stream to stroll more in the future, maybe I can find a piece of the same precious Wannian black iron."
The Sovereign was silent.
It's no wonder that my little Yuanxi has been unable to settle down for many years. It turned out that when he took the initiative, he always played tricks on others. Once others took the initiative to pursue him, he was actually dull to the point of dullness.
If the matter is said by oneself, it loses its meaning.
Only when Xiao Yuanxi discovers it someday, or the person who sent the sword takes the initiative to inform him, then will his dull feelings have a big breakthrough.
So the suzerain smiled and said, "Maybe."
After a pause, he still didn't give up, and asked again: "Yuanxi, did you meet any noble people when you went out for training last time?"
"Yes." Ji Yuanxi nodded, "It's the owner of a manor, he is very rich, his name is Xie Fengxue, he also came here to give congratulatory gifts on the student's birthday today, maybe you didn't know the owner and didn't pay attention."
"I don't know this person, maybe he's not a cultivator, did anything interesting happen with him?"
"I can't talk about interesting things, but he helped the disciple, and the disciple is grateful to him."
The suzerain wrote down this name in his heart, and planned to send someone to investigate this person during the day.
The suzerain used a smile on his face to cover up the deepness in his eyes, and asked in another way: "Then have you met anyone who is higher than your level and can't afford to offend?"
The suzerain spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was really talking to the returned disciples about the people they met and the fun things that happened during their training.
Can't afford to offend?
Ji Yuanxi can only think of that man, but he can't tell the suzerain.
It seems that Shen Guangye also counts?
... Bah, he deserves it too.
Ji Yuanxi shook his head: "No."
The suzerain looked at him with a smile, and asked some things that happened during the training. The two had a very happy conversation, and Ji Yuanxi swiped with his hands, making the suzerain very happy.
After chatting for a long time, the face of that man suddenly appeared in Ji Yuanxi's mind.
In front of him is the suzerain of the first sect, and there are probably few things in the world that he doesn't know, so Ji Yuanxi really wanted to ask him something he had been curious about.
Then he asked directly: "Suzerain, do you know the current Demon Lord in the Demon Realm?"
The suzerain raised his eyebrows: "Why did you mention him suddenly?"
Ji Yuanxi said: "Some time ago, the disciple accidentally read something about the Demon Lord in a script, and was a little curious about him."
The suzerain said: "Yuanxi, don't be interested in him. This person is vicious. If possible, I hope you will never meet him in your life."
Ji Yuanxi, who met on the first day after traveling: "..."
?I don't want to meet either? ? ?
Fortunately, I am very good at hunting, and have special killing skills?
Ji Yuanxi found a reason that was in line with what the original owner would say, and said: "But the portrait drawn in the story book, that demon elder is very outstanding."
Except for Moxiu, most of the people who have seen Mozun's true face are dead, and there will be no portrait of him left in the storybook. Even if there is, it is either guessed by the artist out of thin air, or painted according to the description in other people's mouth, no matter what, It is impossible to be the true appearance of the Demon Lord.
The suzerain stared at Ji Yuanxi, looked at it seriously for a while, and said: "Yuanxi, I hope you don't have any relationship with him, no matter how good-looking he is, don't think about this life that you shouldn't have. .”
"?" Ji Yuanxi argued, "Lord Sovereign, I don't? I'm just curious, and I just want to ask about him."
Damn, if it hadn't been mentioned by the part he read in the book, he wouldn't want to ask.
"You promise me first, don't get involved with this person, if you do meet, you have to leave immediately."
"?" Ji Yuanxi: "Sovereign, it's not that serious, is it?"
The suzerain sighed and said, "That's because you haven't seen him."
"..."
"You promise me."
The suzerain showed that expression that people could not refuse again, as if hearing the words of rejection, he would immediately faint and fall to the ground.
"...The disciple promises you."
"swear."
Ji Yuanxi said, and finally said: "If you break your oath, may the sky strike you with lightning."
Then secretly added a sentence in my heart, when I was crossing the catastrophe, there was a thunderbolt.
"go ahead."
Ji Yuanxi began to make up a few random things: "The storybook said that he lost his father at the age of three, his mother at the age of five, and his dog at the age of seven. Even if he lost his whole family, is that true? Then he is so pitiful." .”
"Yuanxi, do you sympathize with him?"
As long as there is no emotion involved, Ji Yuanxi's brain will immediately turn fast, and he quickly smells something wrong from the suzerain's words.
pity?
... So, what I was talking about is actually true?
"I didn't sympathize with him." Ji Yuanxi shook his head and said something in line with the original owner, "I won't sympathize with any demon cultivator."
"Then why are you?"
"Just... don't mention that person's identity, just sigh about this life experience alone." The speed of Ji Yuanxi's brain and mouth synchronized in an instant, "Sovereign, put aside the identity of the demon, and change it to anyone's name , don't you think the other party is very pitiful?"
Ji Yuanxi's expression and tone were very sincere, so the suzerain didn't continue to ask, and said: "It's very pitiful."
"Then this background is... I'm just curious."
"Half-truth, half-false." The suzerain touched his long beard and said, "If you want to hear it, make me a pot of tea."
It seems that there is a long story to be heard, Ji Yuanxi happily agreed, and soon came back with a cup of hot tea, moved a stool and sat down.
The suzerain lifted the lid, took a sip, as if lost in memory, and said slowly: "This is all from more than a thousand years ago. He was originally from the Immortal Mansion."
"His mother was an immortal cultivator, and his father was the Demon Lord at that time."
"His mother was found to have an affair with the Demon Lord when he was ten years old. The people in the Immortal Mansion executed her. One year later, he took revenge by slaughtering the entire Immortal Mansion."
"That's 160 lives..."
Ji Yuanxi couldn't help interrupting in surprise: "11 years old? How did you do it?"
"That's not known, maybe some crooked method was used."
Ji Yuanxi showed an expression of obediently listening to the story, the suzerain took a sip of tea and continued to talk.
"On the day he came of age, a monk in our sect killed his father, who was the Demon Lord who was in power at that time."
"The monk cut off his father's head and hung it above the plaque on the gate of Yanyuezong, and hung it for three months."
Grass……
No wonder the book says that there is blood and deep hatred, who can bear it.
Ji Yuanxi put his hands on the table unconsciously, his hands intertwined nervously.
The suzerain glanced at the ring on his left middle finger, and couldn't help asking: "Yuanxi, did you change to a storage ring?"
Ji Yuanxi looked down and subconsciously covered it with his right hand. In an instant, he thought that he shouldn't have made such a move, and stretched out his hand generously, showing a bright smile: "Yes, suzerain, look, isn't it? very beautiful?"
The suzerain's gaze was fixed on the ring, and he did not move for a long time.
The material of that ring is very rare, and it cannot be obtained in the world of cultivating immortals... and only he with a sharp vision can distinguish it.
The suzerain looked at it carefully for a while, and after a long time, a smile appeared on his mouth: "Yuanxi, it is very beautiful."
He didn't want to ask how he got it, even if he asked, most of what he got would be a carefully woven lie.
The suzerain's heart sank slowly.
Seeing that the suzerain had no doubts about the ring, and his expression was quite normal, Ji Yuanxi felt more at ease, and said, "Master suzerain, please continue, I want to hear the story behind."
"I don't know about the dog, and I don't know much about the whole family—his mother has only one child, and there may be too many other half-brothers." The suzerain waved his hand and said, "Yuanxi, what do you ask?" There are only so many life experiences, this seat is finished, well, it is too late, this seat is tired, you should go back and rest."
"Oh... then the disciple will leave without disturbing you. Sovereign, please rest well and have a good dream."
Holding the wooden box, Ji Yuanxi walked out of the cave with ease.
The suzerain quietly watched Ji Yuanxi's shrinking back with a sad expression that Ji Yuanxi couldn't see, and he swore in his heart that no matter what reason or excuse he used, he would treat this child whom he loved since he was a child as his own. Stay in Yanyue Sect for a long time.
He is never allowed to go out again.
By any means.
After a long pause, the suzerain's expression returned to normal, and he called Daotong: "Order to go down and investigate a person named Xie Fengxue, and also inquire about the top few people on the list of smelting craftsmen. Ask about the 'Wangxi Sword' while revealing your identity... Except for the investigators, I don't want to hear the news that anyone else will be alarmed."
The next day, the first thing Ji Yuanxi did after waking up was to tear apart the gift from Yan Qianqiu.
The object was extremely huge, a square box of super invincible, and the process of opening the box was very difficult.
After opening, it was a box, and when it was opened again, it was still a box. Ji Yuanxi was full of question marks, thinking that he was playing with Russian dolls.
After dismantling for a long time, it was a long object in the end.
Ji Yuanxi suddenly felt bad: "Could it be a sword too?"
He hesitated to open it, it wasn't a sword, but the sword had a very close relationship, it was a scabbard.
Ji Yuanxi tried the scabbard with the Wangxi sword, and it was very suitable. He went to Yan Qianqiu and asked in surprise: "How do you know that I am short of a scabbard?"
Yan Qianqiu smiled and said, "Do you like it?"
Ji Yuanxi nodded: "I like it very much."
Yan Qianqiu said: "I see that you use the same sword every time you practice your sword. After you practice, you always throw the sword away at random, and you have never placed it seriously, so I just sketched out the size of the sword. , went to find someone to build this scabbard."
"Thank you Qianqiu, you have a heart."
It turned out to be the case.
The sword he used when practicing swords is indeed about the same size as the Wangxi sword, but the power of the two is vastly different.
Time flies and soon it will be the time for the apprentice acceptance ceremony in the coming year. The sun is warm and warm on the body. Except for Stepping Xuefeng, the rest of the Yanyue Sect is full of spring.
Ji Yuanxi originally thought that the eggs of the Golden Flame Red Feather Phoenix would hatch soon, but until more than half a year passed, the eggs still maintained the appearance of eggs, but they were much bigger than before.
It gives people a feeling that it is not a bird, but a huge creature like a dinosaur.
Ji Yuanxi stared at the phoenix egg and thought, is this a phoenix Nezha?
The sight was burning hot, and the phoenix egg seemed to be embarrassed by being looked at, and with a slight sound, a thin crack was cracked from it.
Ji Yuanxi: "???"
what's the situation!
The phoenix egg was actually opened by him with his eyes! ! !
It turns out that his eyes can be compared with a grand sage named grandson! ! !
Ji Yuanxi hurriedly held the phoenix egg, lightly, and placed it in the feathered nest that he had prepared a long time ago.
Staring intently at the phoenix egg, Ji Yuanxi's palms were sweating nervously.
It took a long time for the second crack to appear on the egg. With more and more cracks, the shell seemed to be unable to support it, and the whole ground cracked.
A wet, very tired yellow... chicken came into view.
Although the eggs are large, the resulting fur pups are small.
Ji Yuanxi has never seen Phoenix when he was just born. Except for the golden eyes, the appearance of the little Phoenix is no different from the chicks he has seen.
"Hello?" Ji Yuanxi leaned over to greet him friendly, "My name is Ji Yuanxi, and I'm your master."
Ji Yuanxi has heard that birds regard the first animal they see as their mother, so he doesn't care if Little Phoenix understands it or not, he has to declare in advance that he is not his mother.
Then he heard Little Phoenix's immature voice calling: "Mother."
"?"
Without complaining about why the little phoenix could talk when he was just born, Ji Yuanxi corrected: "It's not the mother, it's the master?"
"Mom, mother, mother, mother, mother..."
Little Phoenix shook her wet feathers and called a series of mothers.
Ji Yuanxi: "..."
This can't work.
Ji Yuanxi had no choice but to say: "Call Daddy, hurry up, call Daddy."
Little Phoenix yelled again: "Mother, mother, mother..."
Ji Yuanxi taught very patiently for half an hour, but finally he gave up and gave up—because he found that Xiao Fenghuang seemed to only be able to say this word.
After yelling for a long time, it seemed that he was tired, and Xiao Fenghuang fell to the side, but he didn't move anymore.
Ji Yuanxi's heart skipped a beat. He knew that birds sleep standing up. Could it be that Little Phoenix... died?
He poked it with his index finger, and Little Phoenix beat him impatiently with his wings.
...Well, it's just resting.
When Little Phoenix woke up, there was a mountain of meat in front of it.
Little Phoenix: "???"
Although it doesn't know how to speak yet, after it got its spiritual consciousness, it learned a lot through the eggshell every day in the egg. It hasn't been long since it broke its shell. Just eat a little bit.
Is this trying to kill it?
A face that seemed to be able to reverse all sentient beings suddenly approached it, and the little phoenix retreated, and it heard the man say: "Are you hungry? Eat something quickly."
It flapped its wings and wanted to talk, telling the man that it couldn't eat that much, but the sound from its beak was a series of: "Mother, mother, mother..."
Then it saw that this person showed the appearance of admitting defeat, and said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, I will be your mother, who told you that the first person you saw was me?"
The man finished speaking in a reluctant tone, and suddenly a bright smile appeared, "Your name is Yan, how is it, do you like it?"
Hmm... the name is pretty good.
Little Phoenix's ignorant Jin Tong blinked and flapped his wings in agreement.
Ji Yuanxi touched the top of its head with a finger, and said in a gentle voice: "Ah Yan, you need to grow up quickly."
After speaking, he stuffed a piece of meat in the past.
He was feeding meat to the resisting little phoenix, when Daotong came to deliver the suzerain's call, Ji Yuanxi hurriedly wiped his hands and got up, and the little phoenix fell down in the nest like the rest of his life.
The suzerain called Ji Yuanxi to go, which meant two things.
One is to tell him the prudent decision to accept Ji Shen as his apprentice.
Second, as a price, Ji Yuanxi was asked to learn medicine refining, and he could not come out of the alchemy building until he became an intermediate alchemist.
Is there a better deal than this?
As an intermediate alchemist, it takes about 20 years for ordinary people to start from scratch. With the guidance of the original book and the talent of the original owner, Ji Yuanxi is confident that he can become an intermediate alchemist within ten years.
As for high-level alchemists, it will take 30 years to become intermediate alchemists, and even more time will be spent for top-level alchemists above that.
I still need to practice, there is no need to spend all my time on it, after all, it is not a matter of concentrating on alchemy, maybe the suzerain also thinks so, and only uses intermediate alchemists in exchange.
Ji Yuanxi has never dreamed of that man since that time, and the strong impulse to become a sect at that time has also gradually subsided after half a year.
Now that the disciple acceptance ceremony is about to be held, Ji Shen's matter is in front of him, it is imminent, he cannot refuse, he must agree to the suzerain's exchange.
Ji Yuanxi didn't want to disappoint the trust of Ji Shen, a friend, it was a kind of trust that he could feel from the other party's heart.
The rest will come later.
He can still live for hundreds of years, there is still a lot of time, isn't there?
The day of the apprenticeship ceremony is coming soon.
The main hall of the Yanyue Sect was bustling with people kneeling, most of these people were teenagers and girls, some of them came from the Cultivation Clan, some were invited, some came by themselves, but most of them were from Xiaozong when they were young. A disciple of another sect with a certain foundation and self-confidence who has cultivated in the small sect.
They knelt quietly, with their heads bowed respectfully. No one looked up, and no one whispered. They were all children who knew how to behave.
The high seat in the innermost part of the hall was empty, and there were two side seats, one on the left and one on the right. On one side sat the deputy suzerain who assisted the sect's affairs, and on the other sat the elder who was in charge of all things in life.
The rest of the peak masters and immortals are seated on both sides.
These boys and girls have been selected three times, and they have obtained certificates for passing the assessment. They appeared in the hall this time to learn from their teachers.
If one is lucky enough to be selected by a certain immortal, then he will be considered as an official disciple of Yanyue Sect who can show off in the world of cultivating immortals.
Kneeling for too long, many people in the hall inevitably lost their minds.
Just when they were distracted, a person appeared out of nowhere on the high seat, it seemed that it only took a blink of an eye.
This person has white hair and beard, is dignified and solemn, and has an extraordinary momentum, as if he can see through all the intentions of the other party's heart just by raising his eyes.
He is the current suzerain of Yanyue Sect.
The strange thing is that no one in the world of cultivating immortals knows his name or name, but as long as he shows up, his thunderous momentum that cannot be ignored makes everyone dare not have any intention of making mistakes.
The suzerain had spoken, and the disciple acceptance ceremony officially began.
The person whose name was called looked up in surprise, and immediately a fairy who had taken a fancy to him went to lead him up and lead him to stand behind his seat.
There were fewer and fewer people kneeling in the hall, and as time went by, only a young man with silver-white hair remained.
The rest of the people who were accepted as apprentices by Xianzun looked at him with strange eyes.
They all felt that this person would be the only one not chosen by the Immortal Venerable.
All waiting to see the excitement.
Ji Yuanxi looked anxious, fidgeting, and frantically gestured to the suzerain with his eyes.
He planned to wait a little longer, and if the suzerain couldn't get up to speak again, he decided to take Ji Shen as his disciple.
It was better than disappointing Ji Shen and letting everyone present see a joke for no reason.
The suzerain groaned and stroked his long beard. He was about to speak, when suddenly a stern voice came from below: "This seat accepts him as a disciple."
Ji Yuanxi: "?"
Subconsciously following the voice, he saw a man in white clothes who was as cold as ice.
Ji Yuanxi has an impression of this person, he is the peak master of Beiluan Peak, the Venerable Beiluan Jing Yu.
This person and the suzerain are brothers of the same generation, and they have a profound realm that is about to break through to the tribulation stage in the late stage of distraction.His realm can be ranked in front of the entire Yanyue Sect.
In his realm, he can establish a mountain and establish a sect on his own. With his relationship with the suzerain, it is no problem to become the deputy suzerain, but he is willing to live in a peak for many years and practice in seclusion. He is a cold-faced and very hard-to-talk character.
The last time he accepted an apprentice was a hundred years ago, that apprentice was unfortunately caught in a dangerous situation and died, and he never took any apprentice after that.He also has no Taoist partner, and has been alone for many years, a hard block of ice that no one dares to approach and no one can melt.
Jing Yu?What does he want to do?
Did he discuss it with the suzerain?
Ji Yuanxi looked at Jing Yu suspiciously.
The eyes of the audience full of countless emotions were cast on Jing Yu, but he was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard it, and walked straight towards the silver-haired young man in the center of the hall.
Ji Shen was a little confused.
He thought that seeing Ji Yuanxi on the seat of the Immortal Venerable was enough to shock him for ten years.
His name was not on the list, and no Daotong pronounced his name. No one chose him. He was left to the end. I thought I would make a joke, or be accepted as an apprentice by my good friend Ji Yuanxi, but now... unexpectedly. Anyone else willing to accept him as a disciple?
The other party must be aware of his realm, and if he is willing to stand up, he must think he can teach him. This... what kind of realm is this great power?
Jing Yu walked up to Ji Shen, and slowly took Ji Shen's hand in the eyes of everyone.His hands were very cold, as if they had just been taken out of the ice room, Ji Shen flinched subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, he was held tightly by the other party.
Ji Shen was led to stand up by an irresistible force, and he heard the humanity in front of him, who seemed to be exuding an infinite chill, said: "From now on, I will be your master."
Everyone was shocked.
After the disciple receiving hall was over, Ji Shen was taken straight back to Beiluan Sect by Jing Yu, Ji Yuanxi only had time to look at him, and didn't even have a chance to say a word to him.
Ji Yuanxi found the suzerain: "Master suzerain, what...what is going on!? Can this disciple get an explanation from you?"
There was a rare trace of confusion in the eyes of the suzerain: "I don't know either?"
"?" Ji Yuanxi asked, "Didn't you agree with Uncle Jing Yu?"
Looking at the entire Yanyue Sect, only Ji Yuanxi can call Jing Yu like this, even so, he dare not call the other party's name directly alone.
If it is said to go to Beiluan Peak to find Ji Shen, Ji Yuanxi can't think of that at all.
This Venerable Beiluan is a true Venerable, not something that the fake Venerable Jiyue can compare to. Besides, the frightening look in that person's eyes seems to be no different from that of the Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm.
The suzerain shook his head and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with junior brother?"
"The disciple wants to know too!"
Ji Shen was accepted as an apprentice by Jing Yu, unless Ji Shen took the initiative to look for him, Ji Yuanxi would never have the courage to go to Beiluan Peak to look for him.
Thinking of how hard it was to come to Yanyue Sect, but might not even be able to say a word, Ji Yuanxi was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
The suzerain caressed his long beard and said with a smile: "Yuanxi, your friend has successfully entered the Yanyue Sect after all. Don't forget to fulfill the promise you made to me earlier."
"..." Ji Yuanxi said, "But this is clearly different from what was agreed before!"
"Yuanxi, this is a better result than that." The suzerain said earnestly, "It's much better for my younger brother to accept him as an apprentice than for me to accept him as an apprentice. You should know the reason for it in your heart, so you don't need to say anything Alright."
Ji Yuanxi was dumb.
The suzerain was right.
So he still wants to go to the alchemy building.
Thinking about the good, anyway, you can't come out of the building until you become an intermediate alchemist. This seems to be no different from not seeing Ji Shen even though you are in Jiyue Peak.
This made him feel better.
Ji Yuanxi explained all the affairs of Jiyue Peak, and entered the alchemy building alone.
The sun and the moon change, time flies.
Ji Yuanxi faced the alchemy furnace all day long, and was covered in ashes by the inevitable ashes. He lived alone in a room and no one saw him anyway. After a long time, he even washed his face lazily.
Occasionally, alchemists came in to teach and guide, and Ji Yuanxi made rapid progress.
Almost to the point where it feels scary.
The suzerain listened to Daotong's report, he was happy for Ji Yuanxi, but also worried that he would come out in less than 20 years, both happy and worried.
However, in just one year, Ji Yuanxi successfully passed the assessment and received a token symbolizing a junior alchemist.
"Thank you, thank you!" When Ji Yuanxi got the token, he ran up and down the alchemy building happily, and other disciples in the alchemy could hear a series of "hahahahaha" voices coming from the corridor.
After that, the speed of progress gradually slowed down.
One day, Ji Yuanxi encountered a bottleneck period.
His attainments in alchemy had stayed in one place for two months, and he was a little worried.
The alchemist instructed by his own bottleneck could not break through for him, so he could only figure out a way by himself.
Soon he thought of a way.
He asked Dao Tong to pass on the message, begged bitterly, and got a map of the elixir that could only be refined by a top alchemist from the suzerain.
When Ji Yuanxi got the atlas, he saw that it was a elixir atlas that could instantly heal all wounds on his body. Even if it was a fatal wound, this elixir could do it.
Moreover, the additional effect of this elixir is that it can restore a large amount of cultivation.
As long as he can learn this atlas with the strength of an elementary alchemist, he will be able to break through the bottleneck smoothly, no, just learn it a little bit.
However, it is impossible for a junior alchemist to learn the atlas of a top alchemist. No one in the world of immortality has ever done it.
Ji Yuanxi did it.
He spent six years and exhausted various methods to learn this map and refine a crimson elixir.
He also successfully advanced to an intermediate alchemist.
This incident shocked the entire world of cultivating immortals.
No one could expect that Venerable Jiyue, who has made rapid progress in cultivation, has such a high attainment in alchemy.
Ji Yuanxi finally stepped out of the alchemy building, Jiyue Peak has been overcrowded for a long time.
Ji Yuanxi finally met Ji Shen.
With tears in the corners of Ji Shen's eyes, he missed him very much: "Brother Ji, I miss you so much!"
"Brother Ji, me too!"
The two hugged each other emotionally.
After parting, Ji Yuanxi asked: "How have you been in Beiluan Peak for so many years, how did Uncle Jing Yu treat you?"
Ji Shen replied: "In the beginning, people often provoked and humiliated me. I was okay when I was in Beiluan Peak. They didn't dare to come. Whenever I go out, many people will come to me."
"I don't know from that day on, there are no more people who humiliate me. Everyone is very polite to me. I am very grateful even for the superficial politeness."
"I know it's Master who came forward, so I practice hard, hoping not to embarrass Master."
"With the teacher's teaching, the speed of cultivation will really be much faster. Although others treat me politely, I still haven't made any sincere friends, so I have been focusing all my energy on cultivation."
"Brother Ji, let me tell you secretly that my current state may already be on par with yours."
Ji Yuanxi was happy for him: "That's good."
Ji Shen said: "But it is also because you have been studying alchemy for the past seven years, otherwise I would not be able to catch up with you so quickly... Speaking of which, your progress in alchemy is too terrifying. It would take others 20 years to catch up with you." You did it in just seven short years, what kind of person are you? Are you a god? You must be a god, haha."
Ji Yuanxi, who was blowing the rainbow, was happy physically and mentally, and his tail instantly went up into the sky: "Of course, after all, I am worthy of it!"
"'As expected of me', very good, I learned it, I will grab this word, and I will use it in the future." Ji Shen said happily.
"Give it to you."
After that, Ji Shen often came to look for Ji Yuanxi, Yan Qianqiu was there occasionally, and soon Ji Shen and Yan Qianqiu became good friends who talked about everything.
Time flies, and another two years have passed.
Everything is as usual, except that Little Phoenix still maintains the appearance of a chicken, which has not changed at all for so many years, the only difference is that the food intake is much larger than before.
Ji Yuanxi couldn't help thinking that the growth rate of the beast and pet was too slow.
Almost no one who comes to Jiyue Peak has seen the real Golden Flame Red Feather Phoenix, let alone know its juvenile state. Ji Yuanxi flipped through the ancient books, and there was only a portrait of an adult Golden Flame Red Feather Phoenix on it, so everyone always thought He raised a chick that couldn't grow up after taking a growth-inhibiting elixir.
Little Phoenix is very familiar with Jiyue Peak, it jumps up and down the tree nimbly and vigorously, Ji Yuanxi holds his hands under the tree with a mother's heart, for fear that Little Phoenix will fall off if he is not careful .
"Yan! Be careful!"
Knowing that this was its name, Little Phoenix looked down at Ji Yuanxi, then continued to jump up and down the tree.
Ji Yuanxi called out as he moved: "Ah Yan! Ah Yan! Ah Yan!...Ah Yan!"
He yelled so much that his throat was almost dry.
Seeing this, Dao Tong brought a cup of tea over, and Ji Yuanxi moistened his throat and said, "What day is it today, why is it so hot?"
When Daotong said it, Ji Yuanxi was taken aback.
He remembered in a trance that this was the day when he was driven away by that man.
Ten years, I don't know how he is doing now?
You must be happy without being annoying by your side, right?
Ji Yuanxi shook his head and didn't think about it. Anyway, he was still alive, which meant that the other party's life was not worried at all. Maybe he was living a very nourishing life in a certain part of this continent at this moment.
At night, Daotong handed over an invitation.
The red invitation card was very festive, and one could tell at a glance that a new couple was about to get married.
With a great reputation, there are too many people who want to invite Ji Yuanxi to the Daoist Companion Ceremony. Daoist boys are always selective, and rarely present invitations for viewing.
So Ji Yuanxi opened it with doubts.
The words above were nothing special, but the two names at the bottom deeply pricked his eyes.
The two actually knew each other.
"Ye Zhao...and..." Ji Yuanxi was stunned, and it took him a while to pronounce another name: "...Gu Yan."
Ye Zhao, he remembered, was the original owner's first love, the kind he had loved before.
...when did these two get it
