Chapter 29: People who meet the eighth rule of accepting disciples

The alchemy conference is over.

The crowd dispersed one after another.

Xiao Ling'er was the fastest one.

After leaving this small world, he immediately reunited with Duan Qingyao, and then disappeared into the crowd.

only···

If someone is determined to find it, he will definitely not be able to escape.

······

In the city.

Many major forces took action upon hearing the news.

Baibao Pavilion: "Find a way to keep Xiao Ling'er here. Remember to be nice. If she is willing to join, her treatment will definitely be ten or a hundred times better than her treatment in Lanyue Sect!"

Hongwu Alchemist Self-help Association: "Xiao Ling'er, a genius in the art of alchemy, should join our association. Who is willing to go and negotiate?"

Liu Family: "Humph, Xiao Ling'er is indeed gifted, and she comes from the Lanyue Sect, so the success rate of recruiting her is not low, but I think Fan Jianqiang is more suitable!"

"Master, think twice. No matter how you look at it, Fan Jianqiang doesn't look like the kind of person who would try to hide his incompetence or play dumb."

"Yes, Patriarch, that kid was just lucky and encountered that one in ten thousand chance."

"You know nothing. I believe in fate. As the saying goes, fate comes first, luck comes second, and feng shui comes third... Our Liu family's strength can only be considered lower-middle in Hongwu Immortal City, but why has it been able to flourish and stay at the top over the years?!"

"It's because of fate, or what you call good fortune! A good fate is his greatest asset, and I want to gather good fortune!"

"Besides, he is just a casual cultivator, and there must be fewer people competing for him. Wouldn't the success rate of recruiting him be higher?"

“Go quickly!”

"Ah, this? Yes, the master."

······

"We underestimated you."

Inside the inn.

Duan Qingyao smiled bitterly. At this moment, her expression was complicated, a mixture of surprise and worry.

"It was just a fluke."

Xiao Linger responded in this way, but frowned slightly: "The elder is worried that someone..."

"Um."

"It's all my fault."

There are some things she finds hard to say.

Because before this, she estimated that Xiao Ling'er had just entered the sect and her cultivation was not very high, so she never thought that Xiao Ling'er could win the championship. Even if she could get a slightly better result, it would be a blessing, right?

Therefore, there was no disguise and only his own name was reported.

But who knew that Xiao Ling'er would be so amazing and win the first prize in one fell swoop!

At this moment, it is too late to regret.

Duan Qingyao sighed softly: "It's my fault after all. I didn't have enough confidence in you and was too weak. Besides, our Lanyue Sect is not strong enough now. Otherwise, although these rewards and your alchemy skills are extraordinary, few people would dare to mess with you."

"pity···"

"I'm afraid our trip is dangerous."

"But I have already sent a message to the Great Elder and the others, they will come to pick us up as soon as possible."

"For this trip, I'm afraid I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate."

"If it really doesn't work..."

Duan Qingyao hesitated to speak.

Xiao Ling'er sternly refused: "Master and the sect treat me like their own children, without reservation. I will never switch to someone else's sect!"

"Alas, idiot."

Rubbing Xiao Ling'er's head, Duan Qingyao said sternly: "In this case, we, the Lanyue Sect, will live and die with you!"

"Elder, I think there is no need to worry too much."

"oh?"

"Well, I was traveling outside before and luckily discovered a very advanced method of disguise. Let's disguise ourselves and quietly leave the city. It's not certain that anyone will notice."

Xiao Ling'er hesitated slightly: "However, we cannot meet up with the other elders and Master, otherwise, we will be exposed."

"So, please, Fifth Elder, contact Master and inform them of this matter. Also... I would like to ask you to tell Master something."

"What's up?"

After hearing her say that she had advanced disguise techniques, Duan Qingyao didn't hold much hope.

There are countless ways to disguise yourself.

But how many of them can prevent detection by those with higher cultivation levels?

Very rare!

However, she could not discourage Xiao Ling'er's enthusiasm, so she could only decide to give it a try for now and let the other elders support her from a nearby distance. If they were discovered, it would not be too late to fight desperately.

Xiao Ling'er also knew that Duan Qingyao didn't believe it.

If I were in his place, I wouldn’t believe it either.

But she couldn't tell anyone about the existence of her teacher and could only perform magic on her own. In front of Duan Qingyao's astonished gaze, she turned into an old woman with a hunched back and wrinkled face.

"Fifth Elder, can you still recognize who I am?"

Duan Qingyao was surprised!

"His appearance is completely different, and even his spiritual awareness is very different from before!"

"I can't tell!"

Is it really possible?!

She couldn't believe it: "This disguise..."

He is two realms higher than Duan Qingyao, but she can't find any flaws. How powerful is he?

However, she didn't know that this disguise technique could ignore the detection of two major realms.

This alone is definitely not enough, but Xiao Ling'er and Liang Danxia's help can forcibly change the fluctuations of spiritual consciousness, so that even people in the sixth realm of destiny cannot detect it.

As for the seventh realm...

People in the seventh realm would not do such despicable things just because of the rewards from the alchemy conference.

"The Fifth Elder believes it, right?"

Xiao Ling'er smiled slightly and returned to her original appearance: "I will pass this method on to you later. Now, please ask the Fifth Elder to pass on the message to Master."

"good!"

Duan Qingyao nodded, and the gloom was swept away: "What do you want to tell the sect master?"

"I found a person who seems to meet the requirements for the 'personal disciple' admission. I would like to ask Master to come and investigate."

"What?!" Duan Qingyao was surprised again: "Who?!"

"Fan is strong."

"he?"

Duan Qingyao blinked.

She had also been deceived and did not find anything special about Fan Jianqiang. She thought he was just lucky.

But after Xiao Ling'er's reminder, he suddenly reacted.

"Yes, he is as timid as a mouse. Moreover, if it is not luck, but he has been hiding his incompetence...it is somewhat close to the eighth rule of accepting disciples."

"A coward, extremely cautious, and always shouting about death?"

Xiao Ling'er said confidently: "He must be hiding his incompetence!"

"As a fellow alchemist, I have a hunch that this person's alchemy skills are probably better than mine! I even think that the reason he lost to me was intentional."

"how so?"

"It should be to avoid the crisis..."

"As a casual cultivator, once he wins the championship, his situation will be more dangerous than ours."

Duan Qingyao looked at Xiao Ling'er deeply.

Even if my reaction was slow, I understood it now.

"Okay, I'll pass the message immediately!"

"This matter...is of great importance."

Like Xiao Ling'er and Liang Danxia, ​​Duan Qingyao and others also don't understand the basis of this 'iron rule of accepting disciples', but Lin Fan has already proved it once!

The Xiao Ling'er in front of him was the ironclad evidence!

Therefore, even if she doesn't understand, Duan Qingyao won't act recklessly. Instead, she will carry out her orders very seriously!

Xiao Ling'er alone has already brought countless surprises to the sect. If there is another one, wouldn't it be double happiness? !

But, does Fan Jianqiang also have an extraordinary talent in alchemy?

Don’t understand!

But her movements were not vague at all. She immediately took out the jade talisman to contact Lin Fan and informed him of Xiao Ling'er's discovery and matters related to the disguise.

······

Inside the Lanyue Sect.

Lin Fan and the four elders were getting ready to go.

Suddenly, Lin Fan flipped his hand and took out the sound transmission jade talisman.

"Um?"

His eyes lit up slightly.

"A guy who is extremely cautious and keeps saying 'I'm going to die'?"

He was not surprised that Xiao Ling'er could come up with a disguise method. After all, there was probably an "old man in the necklace". It would be strange if she didn't have these means.

But this extremely cautious guy was a pleasant surprise.
