Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The black stone surface made a series of slight sounds, and then seven rings of growth rings rippled like water ripples. This was the limit of what Su Li could do in a short time.
But even so, the whole place was still silent. Elder Zheng was also shocked and couldn't help but confirm: "Su Qingshui, you are less than seven hundred years old?"
Su Li moved her palm away and nodded helplessly. If she could do it again, she would be sure to brighten the annual ring a few more rings. But although it is a bit outstanding now, it is much better than the one-ring annual ring.
"Okay, okay!"
Even with Elder Zheng's state of mind, he couldn't help but beam with joy at this moment.
The 700-year-old Nascent Soul is at its peak and is already at the level of a top genius. Even if there is no sect token, he is willing to accept her, let alone now.
"Su Qingshui, please follow me to see Grand Master Nan now!"
Elder Zheng spoke, and without waiting for Su Li to nod, he waved his sleeves and rolled up Su Li and disappeared into the assessment hall. The originally silent hall immediately exploded.
"Top genius!"
"Such a genius would actually come to our sect. It seems that the position of the Great Saint Son is really not guaranteed."
"It's hard to say. Who knows if Su Qingshui is a spy sent by other sects?"
"Top genius! How could the Holy Sect baby be sent out as an undercover agent before it's too late?"
“…”
Standing in the crowd, Ban Gan felt the strange looks coming from all directions, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. Although he had no intention of becoming the Great Holy Son, he did his best for the sect during his reign. Now there is someone with more talent than him. Disciple, will he be replaced immediately
Is he... so unpopular
Ban Gan couldn't help but begin to deeply doubt what he had done. If the sect really decided to replace him, he wouldn't think anything of it rationally, but emotionally he would inevitably be disheartened.
"I don't know if Su Jiuzhou still accepts people from the reverse sect. If I go there to hang out, maybe it won't be so troublesome. Anyway, the master doesn't care about anything anymore..."
Ban Gan thought wildly and rebelliously, and finally shook his head slightly, turned around and left the hall.
In the dim old attic, Su Li opened the door, looked back at Elder Zheng who was waiting at the door, then turned around and walked into the main hall.
There were no spiritual stone lamps in the main hall, only incense candles were lit and burning, making a loud bang from time to time.
Su Li walked to the lamp and stopped. She saw the rickety old woman sitting cross-legged behind the sandalwood. She lowered her head without looking at her and held the token she brought in her hand.
This person is... the Nan Taishang mentioned by Elder Zheng. It turns out that they are both female cultivators.
"Su Qingshui, pay your respects to the Grand Master Nan."
Su Li lowered his head slightly, and the old woman raised her head to reveal a face full of wrinkles. Seeing that Su Li's etiquette was mediocre, she didn't care. She smiled benevolently and said: "The world of cultivation has always been...more men than women. As a female cultivator, I It wouldn’t be a bad feeling if we could train the next female prince.”
Su Li looked slightly surprised and asked aloud, "Master Nan, shouldn't I be testing my loyalty as a disciple?"
"hehe… "
The old woman laughed softly, holding the token between her fingertips and throwing it into Su Li's hand, "Young man Zheng doesn't understand, but I vaguely know the details of this thing. Owning this thing... can explain the problem. I only ask, this thing... Where did you get it?"
Do you vaguely know the origin
Su Li's eyes flashed, even though the old woman in front of him was still at the Half-Emperor level.
world, but compared to people like Baisu, it is still much worse. Even Baisu can't resist the way of heaven tampering with his memory, and has no choice but to hide in the mirror of reincarnation. Is this... possible
Since it's impossible, it's just a test... Did the test start from the moment she entered this building
Various thoughts quickly passed through Su Li's mind, but his expression remained normal and he answered at a normal speed: "This object... came from an ancient ruins, but the information on it was completely erased, making it impossible for me to know what the ancient ruins were. What’s the origin, but after going deep into it, I got this thing from a remnant soul and was pointed to its whereabouts, so the little girl came here to try her luck.”
Ancient ruins, Shengxian Mountain is indeed an ancient ruin in essence; the information in the mountain has indeed been completely tampered with by the white devil, making it impossible to know the truth; the remnant soul, the elder of the Ling family was indeed a remnant soul before he transformed into a ghost.
In short, although what she said was completely unrecognizable, there was no lie in it.
The old woman nodded slightly when she heard this. How could she know the true origin of the ancient token? Asking this question was just a test of Su Qingshui's character.
This attic is not actually an attic, nor is it her sleeping palace, but the Wenxin Palace, one of the three sacred magic weapons of the Fenglei Holy Sect. If what the person being asked is untrue, the Wenxin Palace will sense it and she will notice it.
The old woman originally thought that no matter what happened, Su Qingshui would always have some reservations, but just now there was no response from the Wenxin Temple. This means that every word Su Qingshui said is the truth.
"well… "
The old woman sighed. She could have tried many more things, but... it was no longer necessary.
"Girl Su, honesty is certainly an excellent quality. But... you are in the world of cultivation, and people are separated from each other. Even your fellow disciples cannot tell your true feelings, so... lying is a way to protect yourself, do you understand? "
Su Li blinked, surprised that the old woman suddenly felt emotional, but she still nodded to express her understanding.
Of course she understands, nothing more.
Perhaps just a little more than the old woman's emotion.
After all, her life was composed of huge lies. If she couldn't lie, how could she survive until today
"It's okay if you don't understand."
The old woman looked at Su Qingshui's pure black eyes, as if she saw her younger self, with a hint of love in her eyes, "When you have more experience in the future, you will naturally understand. In the future, you will no longer be a casual cultivator, and you will have a backer behind you. It will be easier.
I heard Mr. Zheng say, if you don’t like the ostentation of the saint, then don’t show it. But since you want to inherit the divine thunder, you must maintain your identity as a saint. "
Having said this, the old woman pondered for a moment, "You also have a senior brother named Ban Gan. On the surface, he is a lazy and silly boy, but I also know that he has a spirit hidden in his heart. Unwilling to admit defeat. Our Fenglei Holy Sect has never had the practice of establishing two saints, sons and daughters for many years. Your arrival must have had some impact on his state of mind.
However, I believe that boy is not so suspicious that he will destroy himself. Compared to his two useless senior brothers, he has much more potential. You then stayed with him to get familiar with him for a few days, waiting for Zheng Xiaozi to prepare your Saintess' Peak before moving. "
The old woman chuckled. Although her words were very reproachful to Ban Gan, Su Li could tell that she was very close to Ban Gan.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Su Li responded and smiled.
Whether it was the Fengling Holy Sect or the Holy Snow Sect, the older generation were all thoughtful and selfless people, which also allowed her to see another kind of sect operation.
This is completely different from the Su family and Yuxu Sect she saw in the Jiuzhou Territory.
Survival of the fittest is, of course, an iron law of any world, but if the people of a sect do not have any centripetal force or cohesion, they will be like a piece of loose sand. When a powerful enemy arrives, it will be scattered without even the wind. How can we talk about the future
There was only such a sect worthy of her choosing to unite without fear of being stabbed.
half an hour later
In the main hall of Saint Child's Peak, Su Li had already taken off her black robe and put on the purple lightning pattern robe exclusive to the Holy Lady of the Wind and Thunder Sect. She looked at Ban Gan indifferently.
Ban Gan displayed his majesty as a senior brother and was serious about his words. There was some confusion in my mind.
One sect and two saints? The iron law of single saint that the sect has adhered to for many years has been broken like this
He still remembered that there were records in the sect's classics that there were two geniuses in the Zeng sect who could both be canonized. However, in the end, because of the sect's single-sage rule, only one of them was chosen to be canonized, and the other genius ran away at the cost of this. The painful price.
Why was it so easy to change this time
Is your Majesty such a child's play
The fat girl Xiaoya took the candied haws and licked it, turned her head to the right to look at Su Li, and then turned to the left to look at Ban Gan, her eyes full of doubts.
What are these two people doing? Is staring so fun
"The adult world is so difficult to understand!"
Xiaoya stood up, patted her butt, and said to the two of them: "Would you like some cakes? I'll prepare them. Don't whisper while I'm gone."
With that said, Xiaoya left the hall happily.
Perhaps it was Xiaoya who started to calm down the atmosphere a little bit. The class leader couldn't hold himself any longer and coughed softly and said: "Xiaoya is spoiled by me, no matter how big or small, junior sister, please bear with me."
"Brother, you are too nervous."
Su Li narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "I'm not a devil, I'm just staying here for a few days. In the future, we will both be representatives of the younger generation of the sect. If I don't understand something, senior brother, please help me."
"sure."
Ban Gan responded repeatedly and said: "I am a native of Fenglei Territory. I was picked up and raised by Master when I was young. I grew up in Fenglei Territory. How about you, junior sister?"
"I don't know where I'm from either."
A trace of sadness flashed across Su Li's eyes. She was indeed not her biological father and biological mother. Maybe she saw a vague figure at the end of her spiritual consciousness back then, but the sea of people was so vast... How could she search with just that little memory
In all these years, she hadn't heard anything about her parents. Maybe... her parents have died for who knows how many years; maybe... when she defeats Mingzu one day, she will get the whereabouts of her parents from his memory, or maybe, even if they really find the two elders, they will not remember her. Such a daughter.
After all, her destiny...should never have been born.
"Sorry, I'm too talkative."
Seeing the undisguised sadness in Su Li's eyes, Ban Gan immediately looked apologetic, "Being born in the world of cultivation, being alive is both lucky and unfortunate. But no matter what, living... will always see hope, which is better than... dying. Okay."
Su Li gathered her thoughts and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she heard Ban Gan's words.
"Senior brother, I have learned a lesson."
