Mu Changting was stunned for a moment, and soon laughed: "Forgive me, senior, it's not that I don't want to stay, but I'm a mortal, I can't get rid of my mortal roots by eating, drinking, sleeping, and staying here, but it looks filthy. "

Huo Qilin's deep voice hinted at a smile: "Slick tongue."

Mu Changting's eyeballs rolled around, and he made a suggestion: "Why don't we do this, let's compete, if we win, the senior will let us take the Shocking Salamander Sword, how about it?"

Huo Qilin sneered: "Just you? Can you beat me?"

Mu Changting waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, we don't dare to compete with you, I mean... Let's try in a different way. You see there are so many swords here, why don't we try, whoever pulls out the farthest one first sword!"

He pointed to the long sword that was stuck alone between the cracks in the valley.

Huo Qilin found it interesting, and readily agreed: "The rules are set by you, if you lose, don't say that I bully the younger generation."

Mu Changting smiled: "Of course, but senior, if we go to draw the sword, won't it touch the memory of the sword spirit again?"

Huo Qilin raised his feet and stepped on them heavily, a red light vibrated from the soles of his feet, spreading across the entire valley.

Huo Qilin said: "I have cast spells to suppress them, this time it will be fine!"

Mu Changting nodded, and after thanking him, he had a cheeky discussion with Huo Qilin, wanting to form a team with Xing Yusheng. Although it is really not good for two to deal with one, but Huo Qilin is much stronger than them, he listened to his request , agreed without even a moment's hesitation.

That is to have enough self-confidence in oneself.

Mu Changting didn't panic, and leaned into Xing Yusheng's ear, whispering a few words.

Xing Yusheng nodded without changing his face, Huo Qilin squinted at them, and snorted.

Mu Changting smiled at Huo Qilin: "Senior, let's agree first that you must climb the valley wall to draw your sword, and the prerequisite for victory is to touch the hilt of the sword. Relying on spiritual power is not counted. Do you have any objections?"

Huo Qilin stomped on the ground impatiently: "No, no, there's a lot of nonsense, let's get started."

The two looked at each other, Mu Changting nodded at Xing Yusheng, took the startling salamander sword in Xing Yusheng's hand, announced the moment of the start, and swung it towards the sword pool!

Spiritual power drove the sword energy to flash a white light, and at that moment, dozens of swords were lifted up, and they rushed towards Huo Qilin at the same time. Huo Qilin was not afraid of his little tricks, so he ran straight towards him, and didn't even avoid it. .

Mu Changting couldn't figure it out, so he jumped onto Huo Qilin's body non-stop for a moment, swung his sword and swung it towards the bottom of its feet, his sword made him very tricky.

The soles of the feet are exactly the only part of Huo Qilin's body that is not covered with scales except for the eyes. Huo Qilin had to take two steps back. Mu Changting smiled and moved faster and faster.

The Huo Qilin became angry, and he opened his mouth and sprayed fire at him!

Mu Changting had been prepared for a long time, and retreated far away with ease. Huo Qilin seized the time and ran towards the valley wall. Mu Changting wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes were shining, and now he didn't even chase it.

Fire Qilin secretly thought it was strange, but it was so focused on winning that it didn't have time to think about it.

When it was about to run to the valley wall, it was overjoyed, and was about to throw it away with its palm, but watched the long sword inserted there being pulled out.

The long sword volleyed in the air, and there was no one there.

Huo Qilin looked back at Mu Changting: "Didn't it be agreed not to use spiritual power?!"

Mu Changting smiled reassuringly: "Senior, can't you feel whether we have used spiritual power?"

This time it was Huo Qilin's turn to stand there in a daze, that's right, there was no spiritual power fluctuation in the air, they really didn't use their spiritual power.

Seeing the sword flying towards Mu Changting right in front of his eyes, Huo Qilin's eyes widened.

Mu Changting smiled into the air and praised: "Good job! We won!"

Fire Qilin: "..."

Xing Yusheng doesn't like to talk, and Huo Qilin is not interested in him, so his sense of presence is naturally very low.

During the competition, its full attention was attracted by Mu Changting, how could it have time to pay attention to what Xing Yusheng was doing? I never thought that they would take advantage of this and use the invisibility talisman!

Mu Changting didn't stop it just now because he was bored. He was probably trying to create opportunities for Xing Yusheng to buy enough time to get the sword.

Huo Qilin thought about it, and felt even more aggrieved: "You fouled! It doesn't count!"

Mu Changting arched his hands, and said with a sly smile, "I just used a little cleverness, it's not a foul. I said you can't use spiritual power, but I didn't say you can't borrow talismans. When I explained the rules before , you obviously asked the senior if you had any objections, but you yourself said no."

Huo Qilin choked and stomped his feet angrily.

When it was furious, even the valley trembled three times. The two of them were so shaken that they couldn't stand still. Mu Changting hurriedly shouted: "Senior, I am willing to bet and admit defeat! Don't deceive the name of the beast!"

What Huo Qilin fell in love with was his cleverness, and he was angry at his cunning, and said in a huff, "Forget it, I don't have to be told that I can't afford to lose, just get out!"

It flicked its tail and turned to leave, but its big head hung low, as if very lost.

Mu Changting thought for a while and asked Xing Yusheng: "Is your ice mirror still useful?"

Xing Yusheng shook his head, then as if he knew what he wanted to do, he immediately took it out of his arms and handed it to him.

"Thank you!" Mu Changting smiled, flew over, and brought the Ice Mirror to Huo Qilin, "Senior, this little thing is right as a little gift from us, just accept it as a thought , if senior doesn't mind, we will come back to see you when we are free!"

Huo Qilin's eyes lit up when he saw Bingling Mirror, it can never leave the land of Sword Tomb, at least it can see the outside world with this thing.

It stepped on the ice mirror, flicked its tail arrogantly, and gave a reserved "hmm".

Mu Changting smiled, saluted it again, put the long sword he had just taken from the crack in front of it, and said, "Thank you, senior, for being merciful to the two of us, so farewell."

They returned along the way they came, when Huo Qilin's deep voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, brat! Continue!"

Mu Changting turned around, a long sword flew towards him, he subconsciously caught it, and looked up at Huo Qilin foolishly.

Huo Qilin said with air: "It's also a chance for you to enter the Sword Tomb, this longevity sword is given to you!"

Mu Changting still wanted to speak, but Huo Qilin stomped on the ground impatiently. The red light shook and surrounded them instantly. Huo Qilin's voice gradually disappeared into the void: "Mother, mother! Get out!"

Fu Xifeng stood on the square of Shouyang Palace with a gloomy expression.

All the disciples came back one after another, except Mu Changting and Xing Yusheng were absent, and the teleportation circle was about to be closed, the ring elder shook his head and said: "It's a pity, the trial competition is coming to an end, the first and second place should belong to them, Well, let me send my disciples to bring them back."

Xie Yingjun closed his eyes, counted with his fingers, and smiled on his face: "No, they will be back soon."

The precept-holding elder said happily, "Where have you figured out where they are? Tell me quickly."

Xie Yingjun smiled inscrutablely, but refused to confide a word, the look made the old man blow his beard and stare.

Qin Shuzhong's pretty peach eyes slightly raised, and jokingly said: "Senior brother, if you refuse to reveal a few more words, the elder may be so stunned that he won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xie Yingjun smiled and shook his head: "Everyone has his own chance, this is a heavenly secret."

While they were talking, two beams of light landed on the ground, and two figures appeared out of thin air in the center of the square.

Just at this moment, the teleportation circle was slowly closed.

The square exploded. Mu Changting looked up at the majestic Shouyang Palace, took a deep breath, turned around and smiled slightly at the young man beside him.

It was the smile of Yu Sheng after the catastrophe, his brows and eyes were curved, making him look extraordinarily dazzling.

Xing Yusheng's cold and hard edges seemed to soften slightly with Mu Changting's smile, his eyes followed his back, and the corners of his mouth curled up quietly.

Fu Xifeng paused when he was about to take a step forward, his eyes fell on the two people standing side by side in the center, his hands slowly clenched into fists, a wave of hatred rolled out of his heart.

The Immortal Sword Trial Contest was successfully concluded, and Mu Changting, Xing Yusheng, Fu Xifeng, and Zhou Zhi were the ones in the front row.

Even the elder holding the sword personally called the four of them to come forward to ask questions. What he said was very ordinary, nothing more than praising their extraordinary aptitude, and then told them not to be complacent, and to practice more when they returned home. A role model for the whole sect. The last sentence is quite meaningful, to be a role model for the whole sect? So how can we regulate ourselves with this goal

Unless, standing in the position where the whole sect pays attention to.

According to the previous rules of the Qingxin Sect, after the Immortal Sword Trial, the final destination of the disciples will be officially announced within seven days. Prior to this, the teaching elders will have an in-depth conversation with the disciples in accordance with the wishes of each palace, and combine the ideas of the two parties to formally apprentice. If someone is attracted by one of the zodiac, but you don't want to go, you can bring it up with the elder teacher and make adjustments.

The precept elders will also send disciples to assist, on the one hand to play a supervisory role, and on the other hand to alleviate the shortage of manpower in Kagura Palace and Obscure Moon Palace.

Although this method took too long, it has always been respected by the disciples, so it has been followed for so many years.

Early the next morning, Shen Yi called the four of them out again, and what he said this time was very clear.

The head of the sect, Xianzun, intends to accept the four of them as apprentices, and asks them what their wishes are.

Mu Changting, Xing Yusheng, and Fu Xifeng are all fine, but Zhou Zhi doesn't seem to be very willing. Shen Yi asked him why, and he pouted and said childishly, if you worship the head of the sect as your teacher, you won't be able to eat what Master Jiang made Meals are up.

Shen Yi didn't know what to say about him from time to time, frowned, and said after a while: "You come back often."

What are you doing back here? Do you want to eat? Zhou Zhi cheered, as if this was the satisfactory answer he had been waiting for.

Shen Yi took one last look at the four teenagers with very different personalities, then turned around and walked away slowly.

In a few days, they will officially move to Shouyang Palace, where they will perform the grand apprenticeship ceremony and become the head disciples of the Qingxin Sect.

Since then, life will draw a watershed here and lead to different paths.
