A secret conversation with the leader of the Xianpin clan

Once again receiving the invitation letter from Kua Kua and Xianpin, Qin Ruqing was surprised for a moment and then calmed down. She originally wanted to be reserved and then decline politely, but she didn't want the big man in front of her to speak before her.

He twirled his beard, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "No, this is not good. For such a formal question, we should put tea on the table and sit down and talk."

Ah, actually it doesn't have to be that troublesome. I just said no. The matter of words.

But the big shot seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Qin Ruqing and smiled: "I forgot to introduce myself. You still don't know who I am, right?" He stood up slightly and put one hand behind his back as if he were a master. "I am the third The leader of the five clans."

Qin Ruqing made an expression of "enlightenment" and "fear", and then saluted.

"Ruqing has seen the clan leader. The clan leader's suggestion just now..."

Diwu Sheng waved his hand, "No hurry, no hurry, you have just formed the elixir, and have experienced the nine-turn thunder tribulation. I think you still need time to digest and consolidate your state. When you are ready to rest, "Okay, it won't be too late for us to discuss this later."

So Qin Ruqing made an agreement with the other party to discuss it seriously on another day.

This fairy clan leader seemed to be really busy. He left in a hurry without saying a few words. Qin Ruqing thought It was quiet, but who knew that a large group of people would gather around again.

The enthusiasm of the patriarch in front was majestic, but also had a little kindness to the outstanding young people, so this group of people was particularly enthusiastic.

The eyes of each of them were full of amazement, Worship, exploration...in short, it's very complicated. Qin Ruqing raised her hand and cleared her throat. "Everyone..."

This was like pressing a switch. They all started talking at once:

"Fairy Ruqing, are you really only at the Jindan stage? The two things you took earlier... Are the Heavenly Tokens obtained by building a foundation?"

"Fairy Ruqing, was the thunder tribulation just now really the Nine-turn Thunder Tribulation? How did you get through it? Do you have any secrets? Can you teach us? ?”

“Fairy Ruqing, are all the people in the outside world as powerful as you? I feel that we have been locked up in Penglai for too long and have no idea how high the sky is outside. If I want to be as powerful as you, is it the best way to achieve that?” Would you like to travel to the foreign lands to gain some experience?"

"..."

The immortal disciples are really venomous when they examine and criticize you, and they are also very straightforward in praising you when they recognize you.

Qin Ruqing's smile deepened, and he answered their questions one by one in a gentle manner:

"Yes, I have just formed my elixir, and the road to becoming an immortal is still long and arduous."

"The secret method to survive the thunder tribulation? I will just endure it."

"The people outside The sky... is indeed very high. Penglai is of course good, but if you find it boring, you can go out for a walk, but remember to hide your identity when you go out. "To avoid being kidnapped.

To be honest, Qin Ruqing didn't ask for help when he first entered Penglai . I hate this group of Xianpin disciples. How innocent and cute they are. She can coax such a worldly and yet “unworldly” little chicken into submission.

If it is the old-timers of Xianpin, the representative figure Fifth Feather It would be nice to have these chicks who are so easy to please.

Qin Ruqing patiently shared his own cultivation method (there is no method), shaping himself into a gifted person who studies hard and practices diligently. He also said that he read 10,000 sets of books in Wanjuan Pavilion in three days, which stunned everyone instantly. This group of immortal disciples.

"Ten thousand sets in three days?" The fairy chickens exclaimed, "It turns out that we are not as good as Fairy Ruqing. Is it because we don't have enough books?"

Qin Ruqing nodded heavily: "Maybe."

"Only if you go Only after entering the Wanjuan Pavilion did he realize how rich the collection of books was and how precious the contents were. Ruqing knew

that he would only be able to stay in Penglai for a short time, so he seized the time and bought a lot of books in a short period of time to avoid missing out. The fairy smiled shyly, "Although it seems like I swallowed it whole, Ruqing still feels that I have benefited a lot."

She is more dazzling than the sun, yet so humble and lovely!

The fairy disciples wearing uniform uniforms suddenly Now I understand why Diwu Yingjun carries a dozen fairy jade slips with him. They felt that her every smile and frown was worth recording with a photo stone, and watching it over and over again.

After sighing in their hearts, they said in a shocked voice: "It turns out that we didn't know how to appreciate the blessings we had before, and we didn't know that we were guarding a treasure mountain. Today, After returning, I will start to brush books in Wanjuan Pavilion! "

Qin Ruqing: "Well, I wish you all the best." She was gentle and soft, and her words were as sweet as a spirit bird.

A female disciple among the immortal disciples had taken the opportunity to hold Qin Ruqing's arm. , and sniffed the lotus fragrance on her body. It was Diwu Yingjun.

On the cloud, Diwu Lingyu suddenly snorted.

Being hugged by Mimi, it seemed like being sucked, but in fact it was also sucking the cat Qin Ruqing suddenly raised her eyes and looked in a certain direction above the clouds. The hand that was not being hugged rubbed unconsciously.

I have formed a pill and become stronger. I wonder if I can beat the Fifth Feather in a fight now... Well, I have to be cautious and wait until I have finished the four hells.

When I said goodbye, the chicken was reluctant to leave . , leaving them behind, Qin Ruqing felt very happy, humming an unknown tune as she returned to the waterfall residence.

"Very happy?" The fifth person, who was wearing fancy clothes, stood in front of her door.

Qin Ruqing paused, but nodded briskly: "Yes , how can I not be happy when my cultivation level is improved? "

The Fifth Feather: "The clan leader should have told you that there are some things he wants to discuss with you in secret."

Qin Ruqing raised his voice: "Is it about inviting me to join the Fifth Family?" The tone was Deliberately revealing a hint of subtlety.

The Fifth Feather also remembered that he had made a similar request before, and smiled, "Of course he would mention it, but he just mentioned it casually. He was mainly talking about other things."

Qin Ruqing nodded. Okay, I know too. , you Xianpins are so casual when you recruit people, but you don't really care.

"Director, do you have anything to tell me?"

She had been reminded by Director Nanling before, and she knew that the Fifth Feather and the current clan leader The relationship between the young clan leader and the young clan leader is a little subtle.

This subtle point is probably a little taboo. Director Nanling refused to say it, and Qin Ruqing did not dare to ask. Now that the current clan leader wants to talk to her, the fifth t Lingyu deliberately came here and looked at It's like he wants to explain something.

The Fifth Feather seemed a little unhappy: "Do I have to come here to tell you something?"

"Ah, what else?" Qin Ruqing asked seriously.

The Fifth Feather snorted from his nose and went to He took a step back, distanced himself from Qin Ruqing, and put his hands behind his back. "Although I invited you in, you are not an accessory. You have your freedom, and you don't need me to tell you what to do."

Qin Ruqing bared her little white teeth, "Okay, I'll remember what the director said!"

"It's not an accessory" "You have your freedom", if that's the case, why bother to give her a word spirit contract.

Moreover, although Qin Ruqing looked smiling, she was actually very sensitive. She had long sensed

that before today, before she used such a grand Jindan thunder tribulation to justify herself, her label in the eyes of the Xianpin people was: "The foreign seed brought back by the fifth feather"

Her personal identity was attributed to the fifth feather. In other words, there was an implicit subordinate relationship between the two.

Qin Ruqing knew very well that there could be no subordinate relationship between them, and such a relationship would never happen. But she couldn't emphasize this point directly to outsiders.

This kind of relationship that was not worth telling outsiders was like an agreed unspoken rule caused by the family background and strength gap between the two.

Qin Ruqing understood all of this. But it doesn't matter, as she said, she will take action to wash away all the labels that are not hers.

The fifth feather left, and Qin Ruqing began to digest and absorb the experience of this Dan formation. The clan leader said that she needed time to consolidate, and it was not in vain.

It is worth mentioning that this "Waterfall View Hotel" was destroyed when Qin Ruqing suffered the thunder tribulation, but after the thunder tribulation, it was blessed by heaven and it recovered automatically. And there is more fresh air flowing in the waterfall than before.

Qin Ruqing didn't know whether this was the magic of Penglai or the magic of the blessing from heaven.

After three days of consolidation, Qin Ruqing came to see the immortal clan leader as agreed. As said before, ring the bronze bell, enter the secret room, and then the scene in front of you changes.

Qin Ruqing opened her eyes and found that there were beautiful mountains and clear waters in front of her, with fairy springs gurgling down from the mountain stream, pine forests, and round tables and stools made of strange stones.

The fifth clan leader was sitting on the strange stone stool, smiling at her.

Qin Ruqing walked over, her eyes still filled with amazement. As if knowing what she was amazed at, the fifth clan leader said kindly, "If you don't like the pine forest, you can change the scene to a waterfall, a peach forest, or the center of the lake, all are fine..."

Wow, you immortals are really good at having fun!

Qin Ruqing bowed politely, looking very polite, smiled for a while, and then spoke impolitely: "Elder, can you change the scene to an apricot forest?"

Qin Ruqing was like this. Sometimes she would pretend to practice Tai Chi with others, but sometimes she would be too straightforward and not polite at all.

The fifth clan leader was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He raised his hand and the scene in front of him changed. It turned into an apricot forest with falling petals.

"Do you like apricot blossoms?" The fifth clan leader asked curiously.

Qin Ruqing shook her head: "Not really, it's just that there happens to be a well-grown apricot forest in my clan. I grew up playing in the forest, so I feel relaxed and familiar when I see such a scene."

The fifth clan leader smiled and nodded, his expression was very gentle and tolerant, as if he could easily make people let down their guard and have a good impression.

Qin Ruqing was curious.

The first time she met this immortal clan leader, she thought he had the appearance of a passerby who made people forget his face, but after coming to her senses, she found that this was a magical trick. Looking again, she found that he was an obvious superior with the majestic demeanor of an immortal.

But today, when I saw him, I felt that the temperament of this clan leader was like a spring breeze, and it was easy to trust him.

Qin Ruqing's curious eyes were caught by the fifth clan leader, who asked: "Are you probing me?"

Qin Ruqing nodded politely and said frankly: "I just think that the clan leader's temperament is very changeable. He is obviously very majestic and stylish, but he makes people feel like a spring breeze and extremely kind."

Qin Ruqing's frankness obviously satisfied the fifth clan leader.

The superiors are like this, they like clever juniors, but they don't like juniors who are too clever. Qin Ruqing understands this point, so when he gets along with these people, he never plays tricks, even if he is clever, it is some clumsy and visible cleverness.

The Fifth Clan leader actually explained the reason: "This is due to the Fifth Clan's practice. This practice requires a peaceful state of mind. After practicing for a long time, it is easy to make people feel good about it."

Qin Ruqing suddenly realized. It turned out to be a family-inherited practice, no wonder. Thinking carefully, the old woman in front of the Wanjuan Pavilion's star map, the young clan leader, and the clan leader in front of him all seemed to have the same temperament.

The only difference is... she didn't seem to catch the same feeling from the Fifth Lingyu.

With such doubts flashing through her mind, Qin Ruqing did not ask. Who knows if she will ask about any taboos? Xiaobai is not like this.

She didn't ask, but the Fifth Clan leader took the initiative to say, "I asked you to come here today for this technique. This is the immortal-grade inheritance that the Fifth Clan will never pass on to others. If you have a high degree of compatibility with this inheritance, you will definitely be able to become an immortal or even a great power in the world. There should be no problem."

Qin Ruqing knew that the drama was about to begin when she heard this.

"Never pass on to others", "immortal-grade inheritance", "high degree of compatibility with the inheritance" were all key words.

Sure enough, the Fifth Clan leader continued, "I heard that you have passed two prisons and obtained the Heavenly Token. The Fourth Prison is the selection place for this Immortal Grade inheritance. Your performance proves that you are highly compatible with your inheritance."

As he spoke, the Fifth Clan leader raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ruqing, with a trace of genuine expectation in his eyes, "If you can enter my Immortal Grade, you will have the opportunity to obtain this inheritance."

Qin Ruqing immediately heard that this "entering my Immortal Grade" is not as simple as coming to the Fifth Clan to study, but to truly abandon one's surname and change it to the Fifth Clan.

Otherwise, how could such a top-level inheritance be passed on to outsiders?

The clan leader's words also explained Qin Ruqing's previous doubts. When she knew the truth about the Four Hells, she had some thoughts in her mind. This kind of top-level inheritance was very suitable for her. With this inheritance, combined with her Taoist body, she would definitely ascend to

heaven. Although there was a chance to get the inheritance by going to the Immortal Tomb, it was just a possibility and not a certainty. Moreover, there would be many unknown dangers in the Immortal Tomb. In comparison, being able to be directly sent was simply too good to be true!

It was just a pity that no matter how good it was, it was conditional. Qin Ruqing knew that she could not change her surname. In this world where clans were the heaven and aristocratic families were the foundation, the significance of changing surnames was too great.

Qin Ruqing shook her head and said seriously, "Patriarch, I appreciate your kindness. But I only know the surname Qin, and I am afraid I will not be able to enjoy the inheritance of the Fifth Family."

The Fifth Patriarch was silent for a while and sighed, "Lingyu told me before that you would not agree, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that he is right."

He looked straight at Qin Ruqing, as if he wanted Qin Ruqing to understand his seriousness, "Girl, think about it carefully. The rules of immortal products cannot be broken. If you refuse, you will also refuse this inheritance."

Wow, could you please not make the pros and cons so clear! She can directly refuse to join the Xianpin family, but that doesn't mean she can say so straightforwardly that she refuses to inherit!

Seeing Qin Ruqing's constipated and embarrassed face, the fifth clan leader seemed to be pleased and laughed.

Qin Ruqing deliberately blinked his eyes and said distressedly: "Clan leader, you won't let me go to the next Four Prisons training just because I refuse, right?"

The fifth clan leader looked thoughtful and said: "It's possible. After all, the rewards for participating in the training will actually consume the Four Prisons' essence."

This is a seemingly ordinary sentence that is actually worth pondering. It says "the Four Prisons' essence" is consumed instead of "the Xianpin's essence". There is a big difference between these two descriptions.

Something flashed through Qin Ruqing's mind, but his face was full of regret, an expression of "I should have known not to say this".

After laughing, the fifth clan leader sighed and said seriously: "Don't worry, on the one hand, you were brought in by Lingyu, and we will need you to help us open the seal of the immortal tomb later, and we will not treat you unfairly."

"On the other hand... we also want to see your final rating after passing the four prisons. Therefore, even if the last two of the four prisons are not allowed to be entered by non-fifth clan members according to the regulations, we have decided to make an exception and let you in once."

Qin Ruqing immediately showed a happy expression, stood up directly, bowed deeply, and said crisply: "Thank you, clan leader!"

His lowered eyes were very clear. This "making an exception to let her in" is to see if she can get a full-day rating.

The Fifth Feather once told her that no one in the Fifth Family had ever received a full-heavenly rating.

Qin Ruqing didn't know why, but after talking with the clan leader today, she made up her mind to strive for this full-heavenly rating. Apart from anything else, the reward of the heavenly rating is tempting enough.

And maybe the full-heavenly rating means something deeper.

After Qin Ruqing sat down again, she showed a hesitant look. Seeing this, the Fifth Clan Leader said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Qin Ruqing then spoke: "I just have a doubt. The Fifth Immortal Product has such a legacy, why do we have to go to so much trouble to open the Immortal Tomb..."

Not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed, what is the specific necessity? Is it just as simple as looking for the inheritance?

This seemed to be an extremely complicated and involved topic. The Fifth Clan Chief was silent for a long time before he replied to Qin Ruqing:

"Because, even the inheritance of immortal items is not complete."

Qin Ruqing inexplicably smelled the smell of wind and rain in this calm sentence.

After talking for a while, the Fifth Clan Chief told her about the last two prisons, telling her that the last two prisons would take longer and be more difficult, and she had better digest the experience of the first two prisons before going to prison.

Qin Ruqing also knew the names of the last two hells, "The Hungry Ghost Path" and "The Human World Path".

Before leaving, the Fifth Clan Chief said, "If you have any questions about practicing in the Four Hells, you can go to the young clan chief, the Fifth Youlin. He has been practicing in the fourth floor of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion for many years, so it is not difficult to find him."

Qin Ruqing was puzzled and asked directly, "Why didn't the clan chief ask me to find the Fifth Lingyu?"

The clan chief repeatedly emphasized that he was brought in by the Fifth Lingyu. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to ask him questions?

The Fifth Clan Chief's expression became solemn and complicated. But Qin Ruqing saw that this complexity was not directed at her, but at the Fifth Lingyu or the matter itself.

The Fifth Clan Chief answered her:

"Because, in terms of practicing in the Four Hells, he is not as good as the Fifth Youlin, and even worse than you."

Huh?

"But, I heard from others that the evaluation of the first two prisons of the Fifth Lingyu was both heavenly." This is what those chattering Xianpin disciples said.

The Fifth Clan Leader was speechless this time. He waved his hand at Qin Ruqing, and the picture in front of him began to change. Qin Ruqing thought she would not get an answer, but before she sent it out, she heard another sentence:

"Because, the evaluation of the last two prisons of Lingyu was only mysterious."
