Sitting below Wei Chituo was a young man with a cold face, about 27 or 28 years old, in the middle stage of foundation building. He was dressed in a gray shirt, had a tall figure, a handsome face, and was also a handsome man.
He saw Li Yan looking at him, without nodding or speaking, with an expression of indifference. However, Li Yan did not care and still smiled and nodded at him.
Li Yan had seen this person several times in the past few years. Third Senior Brother Yun Chun is gone!
Yun Chunqu always looked cold and emotionless, as if he had no feelings towards anyone. But Li Yan knew that this cold Third Senior Brother would only soften his expression and have some color in his eyes when he looked at Sixth Senior Sister Gong Chenying.
Li Yan sometimes imagined how awkward it would be if these two pieces of ice were to be together in the future, sitting opposite each other every day with no one talking to each other all day.
The three of them sat in a row, while the other four sat opposite each other.
Sitting at the top were two charming beauties, the fourth senior sister Miao Wangqing and the sixth senior sister Gong Chenying. Miao Wangqing was still wearing a yellow dress, and when she saw Li Yan come in, she smiled and called him "little junior brother".
As for the short-haired and cold-looking Gong Chenying, she just glanced at Li Yan indifferently and nodded slightly. It could be regarded as a greeting. Both of them had reached the perfect state of the initial stage of foundation building, and their cultivation was already quite good.
When Li Yan saw the two senior sisters looking at him, he quickly returned the greeting.
Below them were two others, one of whom had fair skin, comparable to Lin Daqiao, with a long face, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a nonchalant look, leaning against a chair.
He had one leg on the armrest and the other leg stretched out and dragged on the ground. At this moment, he was using one hand to hold Lin Daqiao, who was trying desperately to break free.
This man's name is Wen Xinliang, Li Yan's fifth senior brother, who is in the initial stage of foundation building. It is said that he is an expert in using poison.
Li Yan was not surprised to see the two of them like this, so he walked towards Lin Daqiao with a smile.
At this time, it was not known whether Lin Daqiao finally broke free from the fifth senior brother's hand, or the fifth senior brother deliberately let him go. Lin Daqiao hurriedly walked to Li Yan and grabbed him.
Then he walked to a place where there was a chair between him and Wen Xinliang and sat down, still mumbling to himself.
"Fifth Senior Brother is a bully. Every time we meet, he always bullies your Seventh Senior Brother. He took me to the Buli Peak right after I joined the sect. He is the worst!"
After hearing this, Wen Xinliang still looked nonchalant.
"Xiaoqiao, Fifth Brother is doing this for your own good. As long as you pass this test of mine, you won't suffer any loss no matter where you are in the future.
By the way, Junior Brother, you should teach your Seventh Senior Brother how to kill people in the future. I heard that it was you who killed the so-called military advisor, and you also set some traps for the treacherous people. You are already like this at the age of fifteen. Tsk tsk, I like it, hehehe..."
After hearing this, Li Yan bowed and smiled, then sat down with Lin Daqiao. Now, as he has deepened his cultivation, he knows that many people have already known that he had killed Advisor Ji.
When the fifth senior brother met him for the first time, he seemed very interested in him.
But after listening to Lin Daqiao and the others' stories, he seemed a little unconvinced. This fifth senior brother said that Senior Brother Yu from Lingchong Peak said that the situation at the scene seemed not to be as it seemed. He must have inquired about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the old matter would be brought up again today.
Lin Daqiao asked Li Yan to sit at the top, so that there was a distance of two seats between him and his fifth senior brother.
Li Yan was helpless seeing this. This seventh senior brother had just successfully established his foundation a year ago. It was said that in the past three years, only five of the tens of thousands of Qi Condensation disciples in the sect had successfully established their foundation.
It can be seen how difficult it is to cultivate immortality. However, to outsiders, it seems very easy for the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak to build their foundations. That's because the probability seems higher when there are fewer people.
After Lin Daqiao successfully built his foundation, his character did not grow and he remained as reckless as before.
As soon as Li Yan sat down, a girl in green, about sixteen or seventeen years old, came up to him, bowed gently, and offered him a cup of fragrant tea. After Li Yan took the teacup, he nodded to the girl in green.
The girl smiled faintly and went back to the side.
The two men and one woman who served tea were all new outer disciples of the peak. They were not Li Yan's junior brothers and sisters, but disciples accepted by the eldest senior brother, third senior brother, and third senior sister in recent years.
Li Wuyi accepted a disciple from the lower immortal sect, named Ouyang Ping, who was in the early seventh level of Qi Condensation Stage;
Yun Chunqu found a errand disciple named Zhang Que on the mountain peak. He was in the middle of the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Stage and had good aptitude. He also passed his assessment, so he accepted him as his disciple.
This girl in green was discovered by Miao Wangqing in a small immortal cultivation family when she was out. Both her qualifications and temperament were very much to her liking, so she took her in.
This almost made the small immortal cultivation family want to set up an immortality tablet for her, but she immediately and sternly stopped it. Miao Wangqing didn't want to appear old, let alone an immortality tablet.
The three disciples were all about the same age as Li Yan is now, but they were already outer disciples of Xiaozhu Peak, while Li Yan was still just a registered disciple.
But those three people didn't dare to think so, because Li Yan, the registered disciple, was the registered disciple of the peak master.
Although these three people are at the same level as Li Yan, or even higher, they do not dare to call Li Yan "senior brother" or "junior brother" according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world.
"Junior brother, you have made great progress in the past six months. Your progress is really fast."
After Lin Daqiao sat down, he also reached out and patted Li Yan on the shoulder, looking like an elder.
Li Yan was speechless for a while. This Seventh Senior Brother was just like his Second Senior Brother in that he liked to pat people on the shoulders. As his practice deepened, his reaction to people getting close to him became stronger and stronger. Just now, he almost had the instinct to dodge or block.
"Seventh Senior Brother, after you have established your foundation, you will become an elite outer sect disciple. I think you will soon be able to enter the inner sect. Now I am the only registered disciple. I don't know when I will be able to reach your level."
Li Yan brushed away his hand on his shoulder without leaving a trace, and flattered him casually.
"Hahaha... Junior brother, don't underestimate yourself. This is just luck, luck..."
Lin Daqiao was very pleased to hear this and laughed. The fifth senior brother next to him heard the two complimenting each other, curled his lips but did not say anything, and then looked at the roof by himself, as if thinking about something.
Everyone in the room started chatting separately for a while. Miao Wangqing and Gong Chenying chatted in a low voice, and occasionally glanced at Li Wuyi.
Li Wuyi seemed not to sense anything. He turned around and talked to Wei Chituo seriously. As for the cold third senior brother, he remained silent and only occasionally glanced at Gong Chenying opposite him.
The two male and one female disciples stood obediently behind their respective masters, refilling their tea from time to time.
Not long after, a figure floated in. When everyone looked up, the man was already sitting in the center of the main hall. It was Wei Chongran.
Everyone stood up quickly and saluted. After the ceremony, the girl in green quickly poured a cup of fragrant tea for the master, then retreated with the two male disciples.
Wei Chongran glanced at all the disciples and nodded with satisfaction. However, when he glanced at Li Yan, his gaze paused for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
With Li Yan's mixed spiritual roots, although the sect has some resource support, those resources are not too many.
He originally thought that it would be a blessing from heaven if Li Yan could establish the foundation after several decades, but he did not expect that he could reach the sixth level of Qi Condensation in just three years, and his magical powers were so profound that they were comparable to some disciples in the middle stage of the sixth level of Qi Condensation.
I didn't expect that the Ten Thousand Yuan Gong would have such an effect. This may have a lot to do with the Toxic Body, which should have changed the disciple's physique a lot.
"Now that you are all here, I won't waste any more time. Next year will be the harvesting season in the secret realm, and I think you all know that.
In the past few days, our sect has learned some information that Shibuyuan, Taixuan Sect, and Pure Land Sect are all actively preparing for war, and there is a possibility that they are targeting our sect.
Now the sect has to decide who will go to each peak this time. In the near future, competitions will be held between the peaks, and finally forty-nine people will be selected to build their foundation and enter the secret realm.
Wuyi, Daqiao, and Li Yan, please don't participate this time! Wuyi has participated three times, and has killed many cultivators from the three sects and gained some opportunities. He doesn't need to go this time, as the master has other arrangements.
Daqiao has just entered the foundation-building stage. Although he needs experience, this is not a place he can go now. But you can sign up for the sect competition. The purpose is to compete with disciples from other peaks in the sect.
However, even if you are selected in the end, you have to give up, do you understand? When the time comes, Wuyi can come forward with my jade slip to explain why you don't want to participate."
At this point, Wei Chongran's tone became stern.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Wuyi shrugged and agreed.
Lin Daqiao looked somewhat reluctant, but when Wei Chongran glanced at him seriously, he was startled and quickly said yes.
Wei Chongran's tone softened.
"Li Yan, you have made great progress in the past few years. I hope you can build your foundation soon!"
Li Yan also stood up and saluted.
"Well, among the others, Chi Tuo participated twice, Chun Qu participated twice, and Chen Ying participated once. They are all experienced and can guide the fourth and fifth brothers. The other two do not have much experience.
Especially the fourth brother was too kind-hearted, and he would die if he was not careful. However, cultivators must go through hardships in order to last long, so they still need to go in and gain experience.
What I said above is based on the assumption that you can all enter the top 49. If you can't even enter the top 49 in the same level competition, then everything is off the table!"
Li Yan was listening below and couldn't help but sigh in his heart how difficult it was to cultivate to be an immortal. Every step was difficult and one could die if one was not careful.
During these years in the Wuliang Sect, he did not just practice cultivation, but also read a lot of miscellaneous knowledge and knowledge of cultivating immortals. The picking in this secret realm was a blood feast jointly organized by the four major sects.
This secret realm was discovered tens of thousands of years ago by the two supreme elders from the Wuliang Sect and the Shibuyuan. The two Nascent Soul ancestors worked together and spent nearly a year to break the protective restrictions of the secret realm.
After entering, I heard that they found a lot of ancient treasures, top-level magic tools, magic weapons, as well as a large number of rare elixirs, peerless monster cores, etc.
This secret place should be somewhere outside the domain, covering a vast area and forming its own space. It may be a holy place for cultivating immortals separated in ancient times. After years of changes, the immortal cultivators in it have long disappeared, leaving only many immortal elixirs and rare herbs.
But there are still many ancient monsters inside, and there are even seven fourth-level monsters, which are comparable to human Yuanying monsters.
A level three monster can transform into a human and become very intelligent, not to mention these level four top monsters, each of them is very powerful and as cunning as a fox.
After the two Nascent Soul ancestors from the Wuliang Sect and the Shibuyuan entered, they only took some top-level magic weapons, magic treasures, rare spiritual herbs and elixirs at first. A few days later, they encountered four level four monsters and fought with them.
Outnumbered two against four, they had no choice but to flee in embarrassment, but fortunately, Nascent Soul cultivators were very difficult to kill.
In addition to their numerous magical weapons gained from thousands of years of practice, if they give up their physical bodies, their Nascent Souls have the ability to teleport, and they can travel thousands of miles in an instant, which is something that no other magical weapon can match.
But how could these two Nascent Soul ancestors be willing to give up their physical bodies? Furthermore, one of them was a famous poison cultivator, and the other was a sword cultivator who was famous for his fierce combat power. For a while, the other party was unable to do anything to them.
They fought and fled at the same time, and fortunately the seven top-level monsters did not all go out. Maybe because they were in seclusion or for other reasons, they actually managed to escape.
But these two elders were also seriously injured, and the elder from the Ten-Step Courtyard almost had his body collapsed.
This was because the four monsters were afraid in their hearts. After seeing the mysterious and poisonous Yuanying cultivator from the Wuliang Sect, they did not dare to get too close to him, which led to this result.
