This move that Master Qingzhu unintentionally revealed caused the entire audience to fall into silence.
After a long while, several exclamations were heard.
"Master Qingzhu's sword power has reached perfection, almost like a magical power."
"With Master Qingzhu's fighting power, he should be the number one person on Fenglei Island!"
"Being able to witness such a free-flowing sword power, this discussion meeting was not in vain."
Listening to the admiration from all around, Zhu Qiaoqiao also joined in the praise with a few words, then shifted her gaze from Qingzhu Zhenren to Xu Chunniang.
True Man Qingzhu was born into a prominent family on Fenglei Island. Even though the Zhu family coveted his inheritance, they dared not act rashly.
But it is different for independent cultivators like Sanshi Sanren and Miaofa Xianzi.
They have no one to support them, so what they want to do is up to the Zhu family.
"I heard that Fairy Miaofa is quite capable. Not only is she proficient in formations and can refine powerful formation plates, she also possesses some kind of heavenly and earthly fire. Today is a rare opportunity. Fairy, why don't you come down and challenge her?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head. "My cultivation is still shallow. It's just luck that I can be ranked at the top of the merit list. It's because of the exaggeration of the world that I have some false reputation."
Zhu Qiaoqiao tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that she had no intention of stopping, she stopped trying to persuade her.
They have already found out all the information about these independent cultivators.
Except for Sanshi Sanren who needs to be more cautious, the strength of the others is acceptable, but just so-so.
Zhu Qiaoqiao asked the other people again, and they all shook their heads and sighed, saying that they were not as good as Sanshi Zhenren.
After this round of questioning, no one came up to challenge again.
Zhu Qiaoqiao knew clearly in her heart that these people must have felt that they could not defeat Sanshi Sanren, and that was why they did not want to go on stage and bring humiliation upon themselves.
Whatever, the clan’s goal has been achieved, so it doesn’t matter whether other people take the field or not.
"Since no one has stepped up to challenge again, the first place in martial arts theory should be Sanshi Sanren."
After Zhu Qiaoqiao announced the first place in the martial arts discussion, she smiled and said, "Those who get into the top 20 in the martial arts discussion will be awarded by our young master himself. Please wait for a moment, our young master will be here soon."
Hearing that the young master of the Zhu family would be present at the venue later, the crowd burst into exclamations.
"The young master of the Zhu family is an important figure. As long as he can successfully grow to the Nascent Soul stage, he will be the head of the Zhu family in the future."
"If I can take this opportunity to make friends with the young master of the Zhu family, will I still have to worry about my future cultivation?"
"For a super family like this, even a single leg hair plucked out would be thicker than ours. If we can be favored by the young master, we will have a bright future."
Many cultivators who did not succeed could not help but regret. If they had known that the young master of the Zhu family would come forward, they would have tried their best to strive to enter the top 20.
Unfortunately, it is too late to know now, the martial arts discussion has already ended.
The monks who participated in the competition and entered the top 20 had expressions of relief and joy on their faces.
Maybe soon, he would catch the favor of the young master of Zhu family and be given an important position.
While everyone else was thinking different things, Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something.
She had seen Zhu Yanzhi, the young master of the Zhu family, in the ruins of the Immortal Palace.
I don’t know if he will recognize me in a while.
Just as she was thinking about it, a figure came closer from afar.
The monk who brought her into the ancestral island yesterday had clearly told her that flying freely over the ancestral island was prohibited.
Once discovered, they will be expelled immediately.
The person who came was dressed in a bright red robe, but was not subject to this restriction. He was Zhu Yanzhi, the young master of the Zhu family.
After not seeing each other for decades, Zhu Yanzhi looked a lot calmer, with a hint of sharpness between his eyebrows, making him look intimidating without even getting angry.
His cultivation has become much more profound, and his aura is no weaker than that of True Man Qingzhu who has reached the state of perfect golden elixir.
Xu Chunniang was secretly shocked. When they were in the Immortal Palace ruins before, Zhu Yanzhi was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm. After not seeing him for more than 30 years, he actually advanced to a higher level!
Although she herself had crossed a small realm and was promoted from the early Jindan stage to the middle Jindan stage, her cultivation would never have improved so much if she had not absorbed the large number of Sea Spirit Pearls stolen by Qiongqi.
From this we can see that the background of these aristocratic families is indeed amazing.
When she was secretly looking at Zhu Yanzhi, Zhu Yanzhi seemed to have noticed something and looked in the direction of Xu Chunniang, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
The monk had a very good memory, and Zhu Yanzhi recognized Xu Chunniang almost instantly.
This female cultivator once walked with the cultivators from the Bai and Qi families in the ruins of the Immortal Palace.
She actually survived in the ruins and even came to the Taoist forum held by his Zhu family.
Zhu Yanzhi suppressed the surprise in his eyes, stepped onto the stage, bowed slightly to the four directions, and spoke calmly.
"Thank you all for coming to participate in the discussion meeting held by my Zhu family. The prizes for the martial arts discussion will be distributed to you personally by me."
He took a Vermillion Bird-shaped storage ring from Zhu Qiaoqiao, took out a low-grade magic weapon from it, and distributed it starting from the 20th person.
While distributing rewards, Zhu Yanzhi also revealed his intention to recruit these people.
Most of the monks were excited and agreed to the recruitment without hesitation.
Only three or two people showed hesitation in their eyes and said they wanted to think about it again.
When the reward was distributed to Master Tun Yue, since he was not present, Zhu Yanzhi specially called a maid and asked her to deliver the reward to him.
After distributing the rewards to others, only Sanshi Sanren, who ranked first in martial arts theory, was left.
Zhu Yanzhi took out a talisman that glowed with golden light. He did not rush to hand it over to Sanshi Sanren, but looked at him and smiled.
"Sanren has exquisite magic skills and extraordinary magic weapons. I wonder if you are willing to join my Zhu family?"
Sanshi Sanren pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.
"I am used to being idle and cannot stand being constrained. I can only appreciate the young master's kindness."
Zhu Yanzhi kept smiling, but there was a look of regret in his eyes. "What a pity. If you change your mind, you can come to Zudao to find me anytime."
After saying this, he handed the talisman in his hand to Sanshi Sanren.
Sanshi Sanren took the teleportation talisman, said thank you and sat back in his original place.
After Zhu Yanzhi said a few polite words, he left.
Many people who wanted to climb onto this thigh were immediately disappointed.
After the young master of the Zhu family left, the auction was held as scheduled.
The items put up for auction by the Zhu family were all rare treasures that were seldom seen in normal times, and of course, the prices were equally astonishing.
However, after what happened just now, many people’s attention was not on the auction.
It is nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. After all, most of the people who came to participate in the Taoist forum came with the intention of being noticed by the Zhu family.
Unfortunately, with the Zhu family's strength, they simply look down on them.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was presiding over the auction. Thinking about what the young master had told her before he left, she subconsciously glanced in a certain direction.
From what the young master said just now, it seems that he is an old acquaintance of Fairy Miaofa.
She was very clear about the young master's movements over the years and had no chance to come into contact with such a person.
When did this girl catch the young master's eye
The smile on Zhu Qiaoqiao's face deepened, but there was not much smile in her eyes. It seemed that this fairy of magic was not as simple as she appeared.
