Chapter 64

Fen Xiu's face darkened several shades in an instant.

In large sects, there is a difference between inner disciples and direct disciples. Outer disciples mostly do odd jobs and attend outer sect classes; inner disciples do inner sect affairs, attend inner sect classes, and may occasionally receive guidance from elders, but they do not formally become disciples. They are roughly ranked in the disciple book based on the time of entry, and the system is not strict.

Direct disciples are different, as they will be formally recorded in the sect's genealogy, which is clearly recorded, and they can also obtain additional resources. For example, the spiritual veins and magical instruments that Chang Daozi promised to Chu Jinglan all have rules and regulations to follow.

According to the rules, the top ten in the competition will at least be accepted as inner disciples, but their qualifications and positions are far different from those of direct disciples.

Fen Xiu was so focused on sneaking in and having fun that he actually forgot that even if he didn't need to become an apprentice, he would in name only have found himself a bunch of ancestors.

Fen Xiu's expression was uncertain for a moment because of Chu Jinglan's words, but after a while, he licked his teeth again, not knowing what he was thinking about: "It's okay, my ancestors are all dead."

Chu Jinglan lowered his eyes and carefully examined the flute in his hand: "So you have a new one now."

You he——

Fen Xiu now not only wanted to swear, but also wanted to take action.

But it only took his brain less than a second to suppress his impulse.

He is only at the Yuanying stage now, and it is impossible for him to kill Chu Jinglan in front of so many distracted people.

The fun he had just found couldn't end so hastily.

Fen Xiu sneered in his heart, Chu Jinglan, right? He took note and waited.

The Feather Demon on the stage couldn't help but look at the demon named "Alie", who actually chose the Yunduan Six Sects. Could it be that he was also someone who received some orders in secret?

It turned out that His Majesty's actions were beyond their imagination.

After the awards ceremony, the competition officially came to an end. Some went home, some gained fame, and some received prizes. The top ten people in each group could go to the upper realm and enjoy better resources and environment.

You know, to go from the lower realm to the middle realm, you only need spirit stones and a sect identity, but to go from the middle realm to the upper realm, you have to go through numerous reviews, and the conditions can be listed on several pages. It is not something that can be accomplished with spirit stones alone.

Including the passage in the Demon Realm, the demons will not easily put any demon there.

Although the middle world competition is fierce, it is indeed a good opportunity to stand out.

It's really like the college entrance examination, Xiao Mo thought in a daze for a moment. It was a rare moment that he remembered the various scenes of himself preparing for the exam.

He hasn't recalled modern scenes for a long time. Using modern words does not mean reminiscing about the past. It is just an application of knowledge. Only when you think back on what you have done and the experiences you have gone through, it is reminiscing.

Although the picture is still clear, it seems like a lifetime ago.

In another world...

Xiao Mo suddenly felt that the clear picture seemed to blur for a moment. Just as he frowned, Chu Jinglan's voice rang in his ears: "What do you think of this flute?"

Xiao Mo came back to his senses. The new jade flute in his hand was warm and smooth. Chu Jinglan was waiting for his answer. Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Very good."

The indescribable feeling passed away in a flash, and Xiao Mo just thought he was distracted.

Chu Jinglan: "Then use the quenching stone to quench it into a heavenly magic weapon."

"Okay." Xiao Mo shook the flute and tapped the end, "I'll also carve a nightshade flower."

Chu Jinglan gave him the flute, and of course he had the final say: "Then carve it first and then temper it. You can ask the weapon refiner in Yingyue Sect to do it."

At this time, they were already on the flying boat of Yingyue Sect, and the flying boat had taken off from the Immortal Valley, heading towards the boundary gate and ascending to the upper realm.

The immortal boat, like a city fortress, rose into the sky, higher than the small flying boat. When it broke through the clouds, there seemed to be the long cry of a sea whale. Xiao Mo stood on the deck and admired the beautiful scenery. Whenever he and Chu Jinglan stopped talking, disciples of Yingyue Sect would come forward.

Some just came to say hello and get acquainted, some wanted to chat more, and some came with the intention of currying favor, but as soon as they thought about Chu Jinglan's identity announced by Chang Daozi, they instantly felt that he was really out of their reach.

The two inner disciples of Yingyue Sect whispered, "I still don't understand whether I should call him Grand Master Uncle or Grand Grand Master Uncle based on the year I joined the sect."

Another disciple slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! But the direct descendants and we are two different genealogies. Those direct descendants should make sure whether he is the great ancestor or a higher generation. Before he serves, I think it won't be wrong for us to call him Grandmaster Uncle."

The disciple suddenly realized: "That's right, you are still smart."

After all, they had met many high-ranking people in the sect, and they all called them Pavilion Master, Elder, and the like. Only the junior uncle Chu Jinglan was too special. He was very young and had not yet been appointed.

Fen Xiu, who was listening not far away, felt annoyed. He walked into the cabin in boredom and slammed the door.

Most of the disciples just greeted Chu Jinglan and left when they found there was nothing more to say. However, Chang Daozi's disciples came and chatted with him for a few more words.

When he came, he found Xiao Mo laughing beside Chu Jinglan. Chu Jinglan looked at Xiao Mo helplessly. He asked curiously, "Is there anything happy that you can tell me?"

Xiao Mo laughed: "I just feel that he is so young, but he has suddenly become someone's ancestor. Oh, he has been called an old man."

Yes, the word "Master" is always associated with the image of an old man with white beard, rather than a handsome man like Chu Jinglan.

The disciple also laughed.

The disciple is now three hundred years old and in the early stage of the Spirit Severing Realm. Chu Jinglan bowed to him and called him "Uncle Master" according to his seniority.

The disciple came to give some instructions: "Of the six pavilions in the sect, you belong to the Sword Pavilion. The current pavilion master is Taoist Cangyuan. You can just call him the pavilion master."

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan knew he meant well and listened attentively.

"Disciples in the Yuan Infant stage do not have to go to the academy every day to attend lectures, but every five days, as long as you are in the sect, you will receive a message to attend the lectures, and you must go then."

"Don't worry, fellow disciples are easy to get along with, but there is one child you may need to pay attention to..." When the disciple said this, he realized that in front of Chu Jinglan, the man was really not a child in terms of age. "Well, he is not a child to you. His name is Yue Ming. He has entered the Yuan Infant stage at the age of 60. He is a proud and arrogant person who refuses to admit defeat."

A sixty-year-old Yuan Ying does have the capital to be proud of in the world of cultivation, but judging from the speed of cultivation, he is also in the first rank. There are only a few geniuses like Chu Jinglan in a million, and we must face up to the normal level of cultivation in the world of cultivation.

For example, Mu Jian is a Yuan infant, but he is almost a hundred years old. There is a difference of seventy or eighty years between him and Dai Zisheng. In the world of cultivation, such an age gap between brothers is very normal.

Chang Daozi's disciple continued, "He loves to challenge others. If you go, he will probably come after you. If you lose, he will continue to challenge you. He has a bad temper, but he doesn't mean any harm. If you find him annoying, tell me and I will fight him off for you."

Chu Jinglan: "Thank you."

Yue Ming, Xiao Mo knew, was one of the cornerstone figures.

This person's greatest strengths are his self-confidence and fearlessness of losing. He confronts Chu Jinglan head-on in Yingyue Sect and unilaterally regards Chu Jinglan as his destined opponent.

The reason why it is one-sided is that he has never won when he comes to compete.

After repeated defeats, when others asked Chu Jinglan about his evaluation of Yue Ming, Chu Jinglan never said that he was his old enemy, but only said lightly: "His perseverance is commendable."

That's true. As long as Yue Ming doesn't think that he's defeated, he will just shake his feathers after losing and become a proud fighting chicken again. Nothing can defeat him.

Until love happens.

Yueming thought that love would be a natural and harmonious process, but after getting entangled with Su Baimo, she realized that the word love was full of mixed feelings.

Chang Daozi's disciple left after he finished speaking, and the immortal boat moved forward steadily in the air.

Now the competition was over. Even though there was a Demon Lord beside him, he did not make any trouble on the immortal boat, which meant that the environment around him was very stable. That night, Chu Jinglan finally took out the script that had been put aside for a long time and placed it in front of him.

Xiao Mo was meditating and practicing in the room. Chu Jinglan looked at him, then looked at the storybook. After his eyes lingered on the cover for a long time, he finally raised his hand and opened the book.

He read two pages and realized...he couldn't read any further.

The reason is that one of the main characters of this book is the monster Black Wood Snake transformed into a human form.

It is impossible for a monster to transform into a human. Chu Jinglan understood that the story would be exaggerated, but when he saw the two protagonists meet, his mind automatically imagined a confrontation between a man and a snake.

No, it's too weird, I can't watch it.

When Xiao Mo opened his eyes, he noticed Chu Jinglan frowning at the script with a serious expression. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chu Jinglan slowly put down the storybook and asked, "Do you have any other stories to recommend?"

Xiao Mo glanced at the two pages of the storybook and said, "Yes, but you haven't finished reading this one yet, right?"

Chu Jinglan explained the reasons why he couldn't bear to watch it.

Xiao Mo was stunned: "Stories about spirits and monsters are very popular. And even if it is a snake, in a love story, even if you imagine it, you will definitely imagine that its snake body is either beautiful or cute--"

Chu Jinglan sat upright and said, "The scales of the black wood snake are rough and uneven, like tumors, and its eyes are narrow and long. Not only is its snake spirit black, but it also has a foul odor when it opens its mouth."

Xiao Mo: “…”

Xiao Mo: "Don't say anything."

He felt sick just listening to this!

Maybe some people are born with an aversion to romance. Xiao Mo took out a few more books from his own collection and guaranteed that the two protagonists were normal human beings and there would be no racial issues.

Chu Jinglan continued to study.

In the first book, the two protagonists are an old couple. They are obviously very loving, but it is not clear why they were so loving in the first place.

The second book has no love story. It is a story about a lucky boy who can encounter rare treasures while walking, drinking water, and jumping off a cliff, and kills enemies along the way. It is not a reference at all.

The third book is about two childhood sweethearts. At the beginning, when the two of them were quarreling and fighting with each other, Chu Jinglan was shocked and thought of the way he and Xiao Mo quarreled for the first time. Finally, he perked up a little and continued reading.

Then, after flipping through a few pages, I saw a family looking for a matchmaker for their child. Another young man immediately jumped out, took his childhood sweetheart’s hand, and said loudly, “We love each other, I’ll marry him!”

Chu Jinglan:?

He was confused, wondering if he had missed something, otherwise how could they be so in love with each other?

So he turned back and read the first part several times, especially the interactions between the two after they reconciled and the things they did for each other. He felt that it was nothing compared to the companionship between Xiao Mo and himself, but the two people in the book were together like this.

And the person whose hand was held blushed.

You guys didn't blush when you were holding hands and hugging each other in the previous page, why are you blushing suddenly?

Chu Jinglan closed the book in shock.

In that room, Xiao Mo was meditating again, and he was in a deep state of concentration. Chu Jinglan did not bother him again. He decided to take out all the scripts that Xiao Mo had placed with him and read them first, regardless of whether they were worthy of recommendation or not, in order to win by quantity.

Unfortunately, when Chu Jinglan arrived at Yingyue Sect, he still hadn't found any stories worth learning, so he could only continue reading them in his spare time in the future.

Stepping into the upper realm, the spiritual energy in the air is more dense than that in the middle realm, and there are often auspicious clouds in the sky. The gate of Yingyue Sect is like the gate of heaven, majestic and ancient. The solemn aura blows in your face, and the pressure is evident from a distance, but Cangsang still has some power left, which shocks people.

There are always mountains higher than another. Once you have seen the real masters of the upper realm, you will know the difference between sparrows and swans.

As expected, the leader of Yingyue Sect personally thanked Chu Jinglan, welcomed him into the sect with great fanfare, and gave him many good things. The leader of Wenjian Pavilion, Taoist Cangyuan, also looked kind.

Wenjian Pavilion has dozens of mountains under its jurisdiction. Taoist Cangyuan directly marked out Tianshui Peak for Chu Jinglan to live in. There was a white crane leading the way inside the gate. Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan arrived at the new residence, which was halfway up the Tianshui Peak.

The spiritual energy here is rich. There is a waterfall and two freely growing spiritual fields on the back mountain. You can see the sea of ​​clouds on the top of the mountain, which makes people feel majestic. Both the cultivation environment and the scenery are first-class. If Xiao Mo had not been busy finding his way, he felt that he could spend the whole day watching the sea of ​​clouds on the top of the mountain.

This arrangement is really thoughtful.

On the first day in Yingyue Sect, the two were busy getting familiar with the new environment. On the second day, it was the time for direct disciples to attend classes, so Chu Jinglan went to attend the classes while Xiao Mo went to the manager's office to get the account book.

Yes, accountant, don't forget that Chu Jinglan is a person with spiritual bloodline.

The manager of the office was very polite to him and handed him the account book with a smile: "This spiritual vein is very good. Excluding the annual consumption and the money paid to the guards, it can produce at least 500,000 medium-grade spiritual stones and 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Among the spiritual veins that can be obtained in the early stage of Yuan Infant, it is already the best."

Xiao Mo sensed his good intentions and said politely, "Thank you for letting me know."

The man smiled and said, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

With the account book in hand, Xiao Mo felt like he really was a housekeeper, as he had to check all the money in the family.

Xiao Mo put the account book into the storage container with a smile, took a few steps, and suddenly stepped lightly to avoid something that was thrown at him.

But unexpectedly, the thing actually exploded, spraying out some powder. Xiao Mo had to move away from it, but some of it still got on his skin, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He used the cleaning technique to brush off the powder and looked coldly at the culprit on the tree, Fen Xiu.

Fen Xiu tilted his head: "Foundation Building Stage, quite sharp."

Xiao Mo chuckled: "Isn't it a little bit insensitive? I let you smash it for fun? What is that? Aren't you afraid that I will sue you and accuse you of murdering me?"

Fen Xiu also laughed, recklessly: "If you want to chase me away, Yingyue Sect must come up with a reason that convinces outsiders, otherwise it will disappoint the demons who are now leaning towards the human race. They must treat the current situation between humans and demons with caution."

He raised his chin and said, "It's not something that can harm anyone, just check it out."

Xiao Mo asked the system to scan it, and the system said, "It's a powder made from several ingredients. When it's applied to the skin, it can make a succubus that hides its scent reveal its scent, and it can make a feather demon reveal its ear feathers."

"So that's what he wanted to try." Xiao Mo sneered, "Let him try. Even if I use magic energy, his magic pupils won't match the features and he won't be able to recognize it. It's all in vain."

In front of Fen Xiu, Xiao Mo pretended to collect some of the powder and acted as if he was going to take it back for inspection. Fen Xiu raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, if I really want to hurt you, I will just kill you directly."

Xiao Mo asked coldly: "Will you really kill me?"

Seeing that he was not timid or afraid, and dared to ask directly, Fen Xiu smiled at him and said, "Maybe it also includes your master."

If this was someone else, it might just be a joke, but he was Fen Xiu, and Xiao Mo knew he was serious.

On the way back to Tianshui Peak, Xiao Mo was thinking: Is there any way to keep Fen Xiu here on Yingyue Sect's territory?

If someone wanted to attack him and Chu Jinglan, they would not just sit there and wait for death.

Xiao Mo has confirmed that all the nodes of the Burning Cultivation have been completed, and his death will not affect the stability of the world.

There is one thing that Fen Xiu said is right. Under the current situation, if Yingyue Sect wants to drive him away or punish him, it must produce evidence that convinces the cultivation world.

As for combat power, the leader of Yingyue Sect is at the peak of Mahayana, and so is Fen Xiu's true strength.

Xiao Mo was thinking as he returned to the house. At this time, a young man holding a sword was shouting outside: "Chu Jinglan, I brought what you wanted, open the door!"

Xiao Mo walked up with a puzzled look on his face: "I am Mo Lan, a servant of Tianshui Peak. Who are you?"

The man heard him say, "I am Yueming. It's just right. Please open the door."

This is Yue Ming, coming to fight with Chu Jinglan?

It must be not long since school was over, so active.

Proper discussion is conducive to progress. Xiao Mo opened the door and invited him in. Chu Jinglan walked out of the house into the yard. Yue Ming stepped forward with a heroic and proud look, raising his hand -

With a "whoosh", the half-person-high notebook fell on the stone table in the yard.

"You said you would fight me again if I could give you the script," Yue Ming excitedly grasped the hilt of the sword, "Here's the stuff, come on, fight again!"

Xiao Mo:?

Exchange the number of times of sparring with the storybook? He looked at Chu Jinglan in surprise: My King Juan has become addicted to the storybook and can't extricate himself? ?
