Every five years in the world of comprehension, juniors under the age of 30 will gather for a competition. No matter whether it is a big sect, a small sect or even a casual cultivator, as long as they are under the age, they can participate.
As the richest sect in the cultivation world, Tianyezong owns a secret realm in addition to loose spirit stones. When the time comes, Tianyezong will specially make a pass, first measure the bone, and then use a Lingshi in exchange for a pass.
The cultivation world has a large population, and there are often more than 10,000 applicants at the very beginning. These people will be sent to the secret realm, where some spirit beasts, various rare flowers and plants, and poisonous substances have been raised in it. The pass in everyone's hand They all represent their qualifications. After the pass is taken away and destroyed, the young cultivators who have lost the pass will be automatically sent outside by the secret realm. It will not start until the final 50 people are selected in this competition. Formal competition.
When Yezong announced that it could start, countless young cultivators went to Tianye City, and Gu Yuling was naturally included among them.
She has never been to a secret realm, and her cultivation base is too low now. When she thinks of competing with so many people, she immediately feels timid. The master did not come out this time, and only the youngest third senior sister came and went with her.
Gu Yuling didn't like Third Senior Sister very much, always felt that she was too masculine, and Master obviously liked Third Senior Sister more but treated her indifferently, which made her very sad.
But now at a glance, there is only such a third senior sister who is familiar with it. Gu Yuling gritted his teeth, walked up to the third senior sister who was wearing a student uniform like himself, and asked softly: "Senior sister, wait until you go After entering the secret realm, shall we go together?"
"Um?"
The third senior sister frowned and looked at the little junior sister in front of her. Although she didn't like Gu Yuling very much, at least the master specially asked him to take good care of her junior sister before leaving, so she just frowned slightly and asked, "Are you afraid?" ?”
Forget it, the big deal is that she will take Gu Yuling with her when the time comes. Although this little junior sister is too temperamental and has a coy personality, she is still her junior sister. If she is afraid, she, as a senior sister, must of course protect her Junior sister.
"no."
Seeing the cold expression of the third senior sister, Gu Yuling's eyes darkened, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction.
It's just a woman who doesn't even know how to do needlework, so why does she look at herself so condescendingly every time.
Gu Yuling didn't want to admit that she wasn't afraid. Fortunately, she didn't intend to say this reason, but said softly in a very gentle tone: "I'm not afraid, but I heard that the third senior sister didn't know the way, thinking that if we If the two of you go together, I can help you lead the way."
The third senior sister didn't expect this to be the reason, and she didn't think much about it. She relaxed and waved her hands carelessly: "It's nothing, I'll just wander around in the secret realm. The pass is, when the time is up, the secret realm will naturally send us out."
Although she didn't intend to accept this junior sister's kindness, the third senior sister's expression has softened a lot, and she even feels a little guilty in her heart because she secretly felt that the junior sister was too cowardly.
She was clearly very kind, but luckily she didn't say it before.
Gu Yuling, who had no idea that he had been promoted to the level of kindness in the hearts of the third senior sister, froze, and never thought that things would turn out like this.
She had said before that she was not afraid anymore, so naturally she couldn't say anything later, so she had to go back to her seat and sit down, but her expression was extremely stiff when she waited until the secret place.
She was on her way, and Gu Xingxue and Wei Mingyan were also on their way.
Unlike other casual cultivators, they bought the flying boat directly, and it was the largest and most luxurious one.
Along the way, when the other people on the small flying boat saw this flying boat, which was like a giant shark compared to a small koi, they couldn't help but take a second look.
Which sect is this, so proud.
Gu Xingxue had never been to the cultivation world before, so she didn't know what the value of the flying boat was, but she knew that the flying boat alone cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.
For Gu Xingxue, who was only the head of the family who could have double-digit Lingshi, she was a little confused by Wei Mingyan's arrogance of spending money like water.
The most ignorant ones are still behind.
The fairy elder in white stood on the deck, looked at the expression outside, and said in a low voice: "If you can make it to the last top fifty, I will give you two foundation building pills."
During this period of time, Gu Xingxue has been stunned with a calm expression.
If this flying boat is expensive, the Foundation Establishment Pill is hundreds of times more expensive than him.
The flying boat can only be used for flying, but the Foundation Establishment Pill can allow those who have not established a foundation to directly establish a foundation, and then completely get rid of mortals, adding the hundred-year-old longevity technique out of thin air.
Gu Xingxue, who just broke through Foundation Establishment not long ago, naturally doesn't need these things, but she also has a pair of parents, both of whom are not destined for the Dao. If there is no accident, Yin and Yang will be separated in the future.
If you have this Foundation Establishment Pill...
It would be a lie to say that Gu Xingxue didn't want it, but those were her parents, the people who raised her.
Perhaps seeing the hesitation on Gu Xingxue's face, Wei Mingyan added another sentence: "If you feel embarrassed, when you go to the secret realm and a disciple of the Tianye Sect is in danger, you can save him. Even if it's my favor."
Gu Xingxue looked at the handsome white-clothed immortal in front of him in puzzlement: "But you and Tianyezong..."
Didn't it mean that Wei Mingyan had betrayed Tianyezong
"No need to ask too much. If their lives are in danger, you can save them. If not, don't hold back."
Wei Mingyan looked indifferent, and added: "The world of cultivation is not as beautiful as you think. In it, you have to be careful. If you lose, not only will you not get the Foundation Establishment Pill, but you will also be severely punished."
Gu Xingxue pursed her lips slightly, held her sword in salute: "Yes."
She wasn't afraid of the upcoming battle, on the contrary, she was full of bloody eagerness, and this little flame of excitement was now completely ignited by Wei Mingyan's two Foundation Establishment Pills.
***
Wei Mingyan's timing was just right. Within a stick of incense after arriving, the group of young cultivators were teleported into the arena, and Gu Xingxue was naturally included among them.
Those with flying boats stopped in the sky and waited for their disciples, while those without flying boats could only wait at the bottom.
The flying boat of Tianyezong was also there, but the big flying boat that always attracted people's attention didn't pay much attention this time, and almost everyone went to see the super big flying boat next to them.
It was just the juniors' first competition, but Tian Yezong didn't send any important people there. If their cultivation bases were not enough, they would naturally pay attention to foreign objects. They couldn't help but frequently looked at the big flying boat beside them.
Many people have seen this flying boat in Tianbao Pavilion before, and the price is 8,000 spirit stones. Although the 8,000 Heavenly Industry Sect can definitely get it, why don't they buy some pills with these 8,000 spirit stones.
Therefore, this super expensive airship has remained until today.
Unexpectedly, there will be a day when it will be sold.
"Brother, do you know what school the flying boat next door belongs to?"
"let me see… "
The brother in the student uniform found the jade book, and the bright golden fonts floated in the air. After searching a few times quickly, he quickly found the name.
"Xu Lingzong?"
Several disciples looked at each other in blank dismay: "Why have you never heard of this sect before?"
"But to be able to take out so many spirit stones to buy a flying boat, it must be a lot of money."
"How many disciples have entered their sect?"
The senior brother who was holding the jade book read it again, and his usual steady face also showed puzzlement: "A disciple?"
"With such a big flying boat, why did only one disciple participate in the competition?"
"It's so strange, don't they have any young disciples in their sect?"
"It's hard to say. I heard that there were several hermit sects before the mortal world and the cultivation world were separated, but they gradually disappeared because the cultivation world was separated. Could it be them?"
Several disciples discussed for a while, and in the end it was the senior brother who made the decision: "If it is really the Hidden World Sect, there must be great talents among them, and the disciples must also be outstanding. When the results come out, if there is Xu Ling among the fifty juniors Zong, I will go to pay a visit in the name of congratulations, to see the cultivation of Xu Lingzong."
This method is indeed the best, and everyone else nodded in agreement, temporarily suppressing their curiosity and waiting for the end of the competition.
Gu Yuling in the secret realm was also looking forward to the end of the competition. She was teleported directly to a swamp. It happened that there was a big rock nearby. She just hid behind her when she heard someone talking.
Gu Yuling was overjoyed when he heard the voice of a man. He patted the dust on his skirt and was about to come out from behind the stone where he was hiding, when a scream came from his ear.
She paused and looked over in panic, but she could only see one of the cultivators pulling out the sword stuck in the heart of the other cultivator.
Blood splattered all over the ground, and the cultivator took off his passport and destroyed it when the man was completely dead and all the spirit stones on his body were taken away. The corpse was also sent out.
Gu Yuling was so frightened that she was trembling all over, and watched the cultivator look around fiercely, as if she saw another cultivator, and walked over stealthily with a sword in hand.
He clearly came here to kill people and seize treasures.
Ever since seeing this scene, Gu Yuling shrank back and didn't dare to show her head. Fortunately, she brought some bags and there was no one around here. She was hungry to eat and thirsty to drink water, so she got through this safely. some days.
In other places in the secret realm, Gu Xingxue once again rescued a cultivator wearing the uniform of a Tianye Sect disciple, nodded indifferently as he thanked him, and left with his sword in hand.
It was only when she entered the secret realm that she realized that for some casual cultivators, this is not a competition, but a hunting ground that can yield a lot of rewards. For them, the disciples of the sect are like flowers in a greenhouse, which are easy to pick. Po, it's so simple.
Gu Xingxue was prepared for the first time when she was hoped for, she was not polite to him, if there was someone who killed someone to steal the treasure, just kill him with a sword, but if you want to compete, it is better than the last one, and the loser will destroy himself The pass is sent out.
Holding the sword, she looked at the Chengxiao Sect disciple who was washing his hands by the creek with his back facing her. This was the second time that Gu Xingxue could not see other people's cultivation, which proved that this person's cultivation was higher than hers. One was also a disciple of Tianyezong. She was rescued by someone who was attacked and seriously injured. She destroyed the pass by herself and said crisply: "Do you want to compete?"
The female disciple turned around, and joy immediately appeared on her beautiful face.
"Xingxue!!!!!!"
***
"... Chengxiao Sect disciple Yan has returned, Xuling Sect disciple Gu Xingxue, Yuxue Sect disciple Gu Yuling... can enter the Tianye Sect competition."
The sound resounded in the air and reached everyone's ears. Wei Mingyan handed over a jade box and watched Gu Xingxue take it.
"It's still half a month before the official competition, you can go down to the world now and bring your parents to the cultivation world."
As he spoke, he motioned to the two cultivators standing respectfully at the side to come forward: "This is the puppet I just bought for my master. It is made of spirit stones and has been cultivated at the Golden Core stage. I only listen to your orders. With them by your side, we You can rest assured."
Gu Xingxue, who was a little dazed just because he heard her sister's name, glanced at Wei Mingyan, who had no expression in front of him, with a complicated expression, and then saluted and took it.
"Thank you, Master."
The second day, the mortal world
In the Gu family's courtyard, Mrs. Sanfang walked out of the courtyard triumphantly, turned around and glanced at the maid who was looking at her angrily behind her with disdain, and left straight away.
Not long after she left, Gu Qi returned to the yard with a gloomy face, waved back to his servant who was saluting, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and went into the room.
When Gu's mother saw her husband, she quickly got up and greeted her, her eyes full of expectation: "How?"
Gu Qi shook his head: "Father can't help it, he just said that Xingxue is not the daughter of our Gu family."
Gu's mother's tears fell immediately, and she lay on the table and wept sadly: "You said what crime did we Xingxue do? It's nothing more than what happened to us before, but now we finally got better, and we still say There is no Xu Lingzong in the realm of comprehension..."
"And Yu Ling, she just sent us a private message saying that it's fine, why did she tell all the relatives about this matter, just now the third sister-in-law came to my room again, and every word stabbed my heart, my father said again No matter, is our family Xingxue really just letting go and not looking for it..."
She has been in tears since receiving the letter, but Gu Yuling almost always has a letter. The letter also specifically mentions the news that her sister is missing and Xu Lingzong does not exist at all, saying that she is asking the elders to think of a way.
But they are all mortals, so how could they think of a good way.
As long as Gu Yuling thinks a little bit about her family and her sister, she should know that this kind of thing can't be spread casually, and it's fine to pass it on to Grandpa Gu, who is the head of the family. What happened to the third room.
In doing so, Qifang and Gu Xingxue were almost trampled on. It was no wonder that the third lady, who had died down since Qifang gave birth to two daughters who went to the realm of cultivation, straightened her back and taunted her.
Now that she had received the letter, she knew in her heart that the two daughters of the Gu family, Gu Xingxue were missing, and that Gu Yuling and Qifang were not of the same mind.
If that's the case, then I'm afraid of what they will do.
Thinking of the sarcastic and sneering appearance of the third sister-in-law, Gu's mother wondered for the first time whether the child she raised as her own daughter was still the one she remembered.
Just as Gu Qi was about to comfort him, there was a sudden commotion outside. He frowned and was about to scold a few times, but saw the most favored maid beside the madam running over with joy, stepping across the threshold with her skirt in her hand. He knelt down in front of the two of them.
"Master! Ma'am!! Our lady is back!!"
"Miss Eleven is back!!"
