Lin Duanshan left with a look of doubt on his face.

Even if he didn't say it, Luo Yan knew what he was going to do - he would definitely go to find Master Kunlun who was guarding the Jade List to confirm whether there really was a pervert who had drawn two byes in a row.

According to Ling Yunpo's understanding, this statement was eventually confirmed, so much so that when everyone in Shushan gathered later, Duan Fenhai shared it as a joke.

Of course, there is no need to elaborate on Ling Yunpo's memories here, because there are more important things here:

From Penglai Yuqing Temple, two people made it into the top twelve of Baiyujing this time!

The sensational news spread back to Penglai, shocking a group of high-level officials including Master Xuandu and Elder Shiding, and they all quickly rushed to Tianmu Mountain.

"Good! Good! Good!" The head of Xuandu said "good" three times in a row. I think this is probably the "666" characteristic of the immortal world. "I didn't expect that our Penglai could also produce two young talents!"

Shi Liuli immediately puffed out her chest proudly, with a lovely blush on her face.

The term "young talents" is not an exaggeration. After all, compared to these senior executives who have a lifespan of thousands of years, Luo Yan and Shi Liuli, who are less than 200 years old, are indeed too young.

Even these Yuanying elders, facing the Yuanying elders of Kunlun and Shushan, would never be able to make it into the top twelve... They did not expect to see hope among the younger generation, and no wonder they all looked excited and proud.

Luo Yan felt embarrassed and awkward after hearing this.

The goal of Shushan is to "take half of the top twelve", the goal of Kunlun is to "win the first place in the competition", and our goal of Penglai is "to be considered a success by just getting the quota"?

As a result, when they finally made it to the top 12, they actually planned to celebrate! If the fellow Taoists from Kunlun Shushan heard about it, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?

I, Luo Yan, really can’t afford to lose face like that!

Sorry, I have to prepare for the next top 12 competition, so I can't join you at the celebration party tonight... What, the Purple Mansion secret medicine will be distributed in the evening?

"It's all thanks to the earnest teachings of our senior teachers. I dare not take credit for it." Luo Yan said with a smile, "I can only congratulate Yuqing Temple! My teacher is great! My Penglai is magnificent!"

Although it was an exaggerated lyrical sentence, he read it out with an ups and downs in tone, and coupled with the hypocritical personality's outward honest and loyal temperament, none of the Penglai elders felt awkward, and they were all deeply moved.

There were even a few elders of high seniority who couldn't help but hide behind the crowd and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

The hope of my Penglai Yuqing Temple lies in this boy!

As for Shi Liuli, when most of the elders focused their attention on Luo Yan, she was naturally ignored.

A few elders were more cautious and inquired about the two men's battle records.

When he found out that Shi Liuli had two byes in the end, he had to admit that hope did lie with Luo Yan.

Miss Shi was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but she couldn't lose her temper because so many people were present, so she decided to complain to her junior brother after everyone left.

However, she quickly forgot about it: What, there is a celebration banquet tonight?

I want to eat delicious food! I want to eat a lot!

…

night.

Almost all the elders of Yuqing Temple, as well as their disciples, came to the base to attend the celebration banquet.

The focus of the banquet was naturally Luo Yan and Shi Liuli, who successfully secured places in the top 12.

Next came the remaining five of the Penglai Seven Sons: the lucky ones, such as Han Xiu, a disciple of Tianfu Tower, who was eliminated only after reaching the top 100; the unlucky ones, such as Bi Lian, a disciple of Shendan Pavilion, who met Ling Yunpo in the first round...

Of course, no matter what place they finally stop in, it does not prevent them from being direct disciples of the grandmaster elders of their respective schools, so there is an endless stream of Penglai disciples coming to chat and make friends with them.

In the words of the elders, the fight over here was brilliant, and the fight over there was elegant, and both sides were outstanding disciples of Penglai Yuqing Temple!

The words are very beautiful. It is worthy of being the warm and humane Penglai, which is completely different from the solemn and rigid Kunlun and the cold and aggressive Shushan.

However, when Luo Yan glanced carefully at the entire place, he discovered that all those who came to attend the celebration banquet were Penglai's direct disciples and inner disciples.

There were a few outer disciples of Yuqing Temple who, as I remember, had made it into the top 100 (Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu had fought with them), but they did not appear at the celebration banquet at this time.

I just don’t know if it’s because they just don’t have time to come, or if they weren’t good enough to receive an invitation.

Based on Luo Yan's understanding of Orthodox values, it is most likely the latter.

After all, for the orthodox, those with talent for cultivation go to the inner sect, and those without talent go to the outer sect. You don't even have talent for cultivation, so how can you still be considered an outstanding disciple?

Is it considered excellent to be able to enter the top 100 of Baiyujing? Nonsense, it's just luck that I drew weak ones all the way.

As long as you are an outer sect disciple, let alone making it into the top 100, even if you are lucky enough to make it into the top 20 or top 10...if you make it into the top 10, you can re-evaluate your talent to see if you are qualified to enter the inner sect.

If the talent is good enough, they will be admitted back to the inner sect. This only proves that there is a minor flaw in the talent screening mechanism, but it does not change the conclusion that "outer disciples are not good enough".

Very rigorous logic.

At the celebration banquet, after Luo Yan dealt with another group of inner disciples who came to make friends, he heard Elder Shi Ding, who was a little tipsy, laughing and boasting with other elders not far away:

"...At first, oh, I'm not lying, I realized at first sight that Luo Yan was definitely not an ordinary person!"

"He was not born in a prominent family, nor did he have any recommendation from the rich and powerful. Therefore, after he was admitted to my Yuqing Temple, he was wronged to be an outer sect disciple for a period of time, and he almost became an ordinary person..."

"...But every time he attends my weapon-making class, he always makes clever remarks, and I immediately start to look at him with new eyes...After all, I often try to discover potential talents among the outer disciples..."

Luo Yan almost vomited blood when he heard this from behind.

Damn it, Elder Shi Ding, you still have the nerve to say that? When have you ever given a class without rushing in and leaving immediately after you finished speaking? When have you ever allowed outer disciples to ask questions?

If I hadn't succeeded in hooking up with your daughter, would you have even looked at me? This is nonsense!

As a person who can "understand a lot after hearing it once" and "has a photographic memory", Luo Yan is definitely a vengeful person in a sense.

As for the Penglai elders who were listening to the cheap master's boasting, it was unclear whether they were truly ignorant or pretending to be stupid. They just laughed and echoed:

"As expected of Shi Ding, you have the ability to judge people!"

"With Luo Yan, this child can be regarded as a good story of master and apprentice."

Some elders even refused to accept the decision and argued with him:

"Luo Yan has also taken my class, and I saw that he was very smart. I was planning to recruit him, but I didn't expect you to get there first!"

"Bullshit!" Elder Shi Ding spat immediately, "I got there first, doesn't that just prove that my vision is better than yours?"

"That's just your luck!" the elders scolded with a smile.
