…
at the same time.
Xuanbing Palace.
The howling cold wind blew across the snow peaks, as if it had lasted forever, giving this huge palace group that seemed to be carved from ice crystals a bit of lethal air.
Snowflakes fell from the dense clouds and landed on the carved tile cornices that seemed to be made of ice and snow, and instantly integrated with the whole building.
Looking from a distance, the sky and the earth are covered with snow, vast and sparse.
Only the corners of the robes and sleeves flashing past among the rolling buildings reveal a faint air of fireworks.
At the highest core of the building complex, there is a Xuanbing Pavilion.
This is the place where the famous Master Binglan retreated for a long time, and only the core disciples could be summoned occasionally, so they could receive some pointers here.
Without her call, even direct disciples are not allowed to enter without authorization.
today.
This Xuanbing Pavilion seems to be a little different,
The intense blizzard that permeated the surroundings all year round seems to have dissipated a lot, and a ray of golden sunlight also penetrated through the thick clouds and reflected on the Xuanbing Pavilion, making it shine brilliantly.
…
Outside the main hall of Xuanbing Palace.
In addition to buildings with various uses, the largest area is an ice crystal-like square.
In this square, several arenas are built. Among them, the largest and strongest arena can withstand the battles of monks in the Heavenly Human Realm without being easily damaged.
The disciples of Xuanbing Temple would come to the arena every day to compete and testify to each other's progress in Xuanwu combat skills.
Such a brave and diligent atmosphere is naturally quite different from the tranquil and peaceful Changchun Valley.
They are addicted to cultivation and keen on fighting.
That's why.
The line of Xuanbing Palace is recognized as the line with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Zifu Academy.
Many outstanding young people want to join the lineage of Xuanbing Palace, however, Xuanbing Palace has the most strict recruitment of disciples, and it has always been rather short than indiscriminate.
As time goes by, the Xuanbing Palace has a small number of people, but a gathering of elites.
It is also because of this that the disciples of the Xuanbing Palace lineage have always been proud of it and attach great importance to their own identities. When looking at other veins and valleys, it is natural to have a little more condescending pride.
In front of an ordinary arena.
An outstanding disciple in a white suit is admonishing, assessing and letting them learn from each other.
This year's new disciples are only a few dozen, but all of them are elites of the younger generation. Each of them has middle-grade qualifications and has awakened a bloodline.
One of the most formidable ones had reached the middle-rank A-level aptitude, and was only one step away from top-rank.
Such outstanding disciples must become core disciples in the future, and even have the opportunity to become direct disciples.
Although the Xuanbing Palace mainly focuses on practicing the "Xuanbing Zhenjue", it does not necessarily require the Xuanbing bloodline.
For one thing, the mental method in the academy is all-encompassing.
Secondly, as long as it is not a bloodline that conflicts too much with Xuanbing's attributes, the power of practicing "Xuanbing Zhenjue" will be good.
Even, even with conflicting bloodlines, there are other exercises that can be cultivated.
I think that when the ancestor Longyan joined the Xuanbing bloodline, it was also the Yuanshui bloodline that was awakened, not the Xuanbing bloodline.
Among this group of new disciples, two are old acquaintances.
A shy young man in a white dress is none other than Mrs. Bilian's brother-in-law—Yuwen Jianye.
The other one looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. The young man, who was unusually tall and full of tendons, was Wang Zongsheng, the eighth generation male of the Wang family.
Because the two were familiar with each other, they naturally stood together.
There is no pride in their hearts.
There is no way, the dozen or so people here are all awakened in the first stage of bloodline, and it is not their turn to be proud.
"As for the disciples of my lineage in the Xuanbing Palace, what I pay attention to is to be brave and diligent, and to strive for the top." The outstanding disciple whose strength has reached the Lingtai stage scolded sharply, "Anyone who wants to be easy and lazy, it is better to choose the lineage of Changchun Valley. do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The new disciples raised their heads and chests and answered loudly.
"Now that I understand, if anyone makes a mistake, I will expel him." The outstanding disciple reprimanded him as usual.
For this at the same time.
Not far away, several youths in fluttering white clothes were passing by here.
They are all handsome and handsome, with powerful auras, like dragons among men.
The one who is the leader looks like he is only in his twenties. His face was stern, and it seemed that there was always a breath of ice around him, as if he had melted into one with the ice and snow.
Unfathomable and unfathomable.
When the outstanding disciple saw this group of people, his eyes lit up, and he whispered: "It turned out to be Ji Mingyu, Senior Brother Mingyu."
Then he saluted from a distance: "I have seen Senior Brother Ming Yu."
"Brother Ming Yu?"
The new disciples all looked over curiously.
Ji Mingyu and his group stopped.
There was a gentle smile on his face: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Kant. You have worked hard to recruit new disciples this time. You should train them well first, and I will lead them to various branches to see and see later."
"Yes, Senior Brother Mingyu." Zhou Kangde responded with a slightly excited salute, "I will definitely train them well and keep them from losing face, Senior Brother Mingyu."
After the encouragement, Ji Mingyu and his party left for the time being, and walked towards the Xuanbing Palace, gradually drifting away.
Zhou Kangde looked at each other all the way, until Ji Mingyu's figure disappeared, he turned his head and said proudly: "You all heard it. Please take care of me, brother Mingyu will take you two days Going around to see and see, this is a long-faced thing."
"Brother Jianye, what is insight?" Wang Zongsheng asked in a low voice.
He joined the Xuanbing lineage. It's not that he understands how powerful this lineage is, it's just because of the words "Longyan Patriarch".
"It's to go to other branches to show off." Yuwen Jianye came from an extraordinary background, and the family has passed down thousands of years and has produced many school disciples, so he naturally understands this.
"Shut up." Zhou Kangde scolded angrily, "Brothers are talking, it's not your turn to whisper. If you commit the crime again, you will be punished!"
Wang Zongsheng and Yuwen Jianye shook their heads and shut up quickly.
Then Zhou Kangde continued to teach the new disciples.
…
And at the same time.
Inside the Xuanbing Palace.
Ji Mingyu and his group stopped.
One of the core disciples said: "Junior brother Ming Yu, this time the master invited us to meet, could it be that senior sister Longyan has returned?"
"Probably because of this." Another core disciple also said, "Sister Longyan has been away from the academy for sixty years, and I heard that something happened at home at that time. In recent years, Master has mentioned it several times. "
"If Senior Sister Longyan can return to the school, the strength of my lineage in the Xuanbing Palace will increase a lot."
"That's right, when Senior Sister Longyan was in charge, I was just a new student, but I gained a lot of experience following her."
The two of you said something to each other, and there was some expectation in their eyes.
Ji Mingyu frowned slightly.
It has been sixty years since Wang Longyan left the academy, and Ji Mingyu is only in his forties.
"I heard that Senior Sister Longyan was promoted to the middle stage of Lingtai Realm when she was 60 years old, so she doesn't look very strong." Ji Mingyu's eyes were slightly disdainful. "
The other two older core disciples were taken aback for a moment, and then they all laughed: "Junior Brother Ming Yu was born in the famous sixth-rank family, the Ji family, so he is naturally stronger than Senior Sister Longyan."
While talking, a group of people passed the guards and headed for Xuanbing Pavilion.
…
at the same time.
Inside the Xuanbing Pavilion.
A woman in court dress sits high on the main seat.
She wore a white jade crown on her head, the jade color was bright and clean, without a trace of variegation.
However, even under the background of such snow-like white jade, her skin is still as crystal clear as jade, and people can't tell whether the jade color is brighter or the skin color is fairer.
An icy blue palace dress wrapped her exquisite body, setting off her aura as cold as a snow peak and as elegant as a snowflake.
This woman in palace attire is naturally the master of this place, Master Binglan.
On the wall behind her was a long sword of ice crystal inserted in a scabbard.
That is her saber "Binglan", which is made of ice soul as bone and condensed from the ice aura of endless snow mountains.
Because of the existence of the Binglan Sword, the entire Xuanbing Pavilion was filled with an invisible chill.
It can be seen that if this sword is unsheathed, how sharp it will be.
And Longyan Patriarch was wearing a black ice silk skirt and a veil and was sitting at Master Binglan's place.
She has ice-colored white hair hanging on her shoulders, and she is completely different from that young girl back then. Instead, she has a mature and quiet temperament, and even has a vicissitudes of life temperament.
As early as at home, the ancestor of Longyan often dyed his hair black.
However, during this trip to the palace, Wang Shouzhe urged the ancestor Longyan to show others his white hair, especially when meeting Master Binglan, never to dye his hair.
In fact, with the figure, temperament and charm of Longyan's ancestor, the ice-colored white hair is more like a goddess.
Sitting opposite Longyan Patriarch was a handsome man who looked like he was just a young man. His demeanor is like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, and his cultivation base is unfathomable, all of which show that he is absolutely extraordinary.
This man was surprisingly Fang You'an who had talked with Master Binglan before, and he was one of Master Binglan's direct disciples.
That ice-coloured white hair naturally caught Master Binglan's attention.
She stared at it for half a stick of incense before she asked lightly, "Longyan, what's the matter with your white hair?"
Ancestor Longyan said in a calm voice: "Master, for about fifty years, this disciple has been fighting against the poison of Yin Sha, and this hair has turned gray without knowing it."
Although her tone was calm, the content of her words made Master Binglan and Nafang Youan look sideways at her.
For fifty years, he has been resisting the poison of Yin Sha. The suffering and suffering involved, but thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.
They couldn't imagine how hard Wang Longyan had been through these years.
Fang Youan's face did not change, a stern look flashed across his eyes, and then he said calmly: "In the future, when you meet a disciple of the Yin Sha Sect, senior brother will kill a few more for you to relieve your anger."
His actual age is much older than Longyan's ancestor, so he watched her grow up. If he hadn't been hindered by the rules of the academy, he would have helped him a long time ago.
"Thank you, Senior Brother You'an." Patriarch Longyan's voice was flat, as if he was neither happy nor sad.
"Hmph!" Master Binglan's eyes were even more murderous, "I, Tu Longyan, spent fifty years entangled with the poison of the evil spirit, so I had no choice but to absorb the poison of the evil spirit. Talk too much, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Master, I think that although Junior Sister Longyan has suffered such a catastrophe, she has also sharpened her heart, which has allowed her to accumulate more resources and increase her potential." Fang You'an comforted, "So, maybe there is a chance to rush to the Zifu. border."
Everyone is talking.
A young voice suddenly came from outside the Xuanbing Pavilion: "Disciple Ji Mingyu and others, pay respects to Master."
Master Binglan's sharp expression eased a little.
"Come in."
While speaking, Master Binglan said to He Yan, the patriarch of Longyan, pleasantly: "Ming Yu is a new core disciple I recruited later, and he is not worse than you back then."
Followed.
When Ji Mingyu and the others came in, those who should salute should salute, and those who should greet should greet each other.
Especially that Ji Mingyu, with a personable, courteous appearance, also praised the ancestor of Longyan, and called each "senior sister" very affectionately.
However, there was a trace of disdain in the depths of his eyes.
This Wang Longyan is already in her early 120s, and she can only reach the late stage of Lingtai Realm, and her aptitude is only mediocre.
As for him, Ji Mingyu, he thought confidently, at the most ninety years old, he would be able to rush to the late stage of Lingtai Realm!
By the age of one hundred and twenty, hehe, he was already planning to attack the realm of heaven and man.
What he was most worried about was whether Wang Longyan's return to the gate wall would affect his future impact on his personal disciples.
Although they are all master's disciples, personal disciples and core disciples are far different in terms of status and the resources they can enjoy.
…
"Ming Yu." After a little familiarization, Master Binglan instructed, "This time, the school discusses the traditions, and I specially postponed it for a day for the teacher. Tomorrow you will take your new disciples to various peaks and valleys to see and see. .”
"It's Master."
Ji Mingyu cheered up, and thought to himself, it seems that the master still pays more attention to him.
But immediately, Master Binglan said again: "Longyan, you can go for a walk with me tomorrow. You don't need to do anything, just show your face everywhere, say hello to the masters of all peaks and veins, and announce that you, Wang Longyan, will be here from now on. Back to the gate wall."
"It's Master."
The ancestor of Longyan handed over his hands and took the order.
The smile faltered on Ji Mingyu's face, and she instantly understood why the master wanted to suppress this tradition for a day. It turned out that he wanted to pave the way for Wang Longyan.
Could it be that Master wants to accept her as a personal heir
A surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart. Why
Right now.
Outside the Xuanbing Palace, in the sky above, came an old man's hearty laughter: "Is Master Binglan here? I, Changchun, brought my new disciples, and I came to your palace to see and see." The voice sounded plain, but Nothing could hide his pride.
What? Changchun Valley come to our Xuanbing Temple to see and see
There are only six people in the Xuanbing Pavilion, but all of them have strange expressions at the moment, did you hear it wrong
Patriarch Longyan's eyes were also filled with surprise.
I remember that when she was a core disciple in Xuanbing Palace, she always led the team to Changchun Valley to see and see. Why only sixty years? The situation is reversed
Could it be that Junior Brother Ming Yu is not strong enough
Patriarch Longyan looked at Ji Mingyu questioningly.
Ji Mingyu was naturally shocked. Facing Wang Longyan's eyes, he was puzzled and felt greatly wronged.
