With a flick of a finger, nine days passed without knowing it. Ling Tian was still sitting leisurely on the square, with several Qing Jia commanders standing below him.
A look of anxiety appeared on the faces of several Qingjia commanders. For more than a thousand years, there has never been a case where a monk has not come out for nine days. Is it because the level of these monks is too low or the questions given by the pavilion master are too difficult. If it doesn't come out all the time, how will the ranking be allocated
Just when everyone was thinking wildly. I heard a soft "rumbling" sound from a distance. Everyone in the square quickly focused their eyes on the place where the sound came from. I saw the door of a secret room slowly opening, and a young monk appeared from inside, holding a jade plate in his hand, and flew out of the secret room.
"It turned out to be him!" one of the Qingjia leaders whispered to himself.
Ling Tian also opened his eyes at this time, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He is clear about the difficulty of this jade plate. He originally estimated that it would take at least twenty days before someone could refine it. And now it's only the ninth day that someone has successfully refined it. This has far exceeded his expectations. How could this make Ling Tian unhappy!
"You know him?" Ling Tian asked.
"Pavilion Master Qi, this is the guy with strong spiritual sense that I mentioned to you before." Commander Qing Jia said respectfully.
Hearing this, Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young man flying towards this direction, what was he thinking in his heart
At this moment, although Lu Yu was calm on the surface, he was full of energy in his heart. The moment he came out, he felt the abnormal atmosphere. It was so quiet outside, it didn't look like dozens of people had come out. When he saw that there was no one in the square except for the Qingjia commander and the handsome boy. He suddenly understood that he should be the first to come out. Although I don't know why this competition is different from the past, but at this moment Lu Yu can only bite the bullet and be the number one.
"Greetings, Lord Pavilion Master, greetings, Lord Leaders." Lu Yu came to the crowd and saluted respectfully.
With a faint smile on Ling Tian's face, he looked at the young monk in front of him, and said with a smile, "What's your name? Have you refined it?"
"Next to Lu Yu, the jade plate has been refined." Lu Yu said respectfully. After finishing speaking, he held the jade plate in his hands.
Ling Tian grabbed it lightly, and the jade plate disappeared from Lu Yu's hand and appeared in his hand. He carefully inspected the jade plate and made sure there was nothing wrong with it. He said softly: "Since you are the first to refine this jade plate, then you are the number one in this competition. Now you sit aside and meditate, and wait until everyone else has come out. I will formally Take you as an apprentice."
Hearing this, Lu Yu felt pain in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, Pavilion Master, for your appreciation!" After speaking, he found a secluded place at random, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
Seeing that Lu Yu was not like other monks, Ling Tian knelt down on the ground and thanked him as soon as he learned that he was going to worship under his sect. But a calm look. I couldn't help but look at Lu Yu again in my heart. Suddenly, Ling Tian frowned slightly, as if he was listening to something. After a while, Ling Tian's expression returned to normal. It's just that there was a hint of playfulness in the eyes looking at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the side, although he appeared to be cultivating on the surface, but he was thinking quickly in his mind how to refuse the idea of becoming the opponent's disciple. There are so many secrets in Lu Yu, but he is not willing to take others as his teacher casually. Besides, this person was someone he never knew. Of course, the most important point is when the other party is looking at him. The warning sign in my heart rises, which means that this person is an enemy rather than a friend to me. And it's kind of deadly. If it really doesn't work, they can only find an opportunity to leave Cangyue City quietly.
There is no time in practice, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, quite a few monks have also successfully refined jade plates. Among them, the second one who was successfully refined was the pockmarked youth. It came out more than ten days after Lu Yu. In the next few days after him, hundreds of monks came out one after another. Of course, there are still many monks who gave up refining the jade plate.
After another half a month, all the monks have finished refining. More than ten thousand monks gathered in the square, waiting for the pavilion master to personally announce the result. The pockmarked youth stood in the crowd, looking at Lu Yu viciously. He came out second, so he clearly knew that Lu Yu was the first in this competition and would become the Pavilion Master's personal disciple. How could he not hate Lu Yu
Seeing that all the monks below were looking at him eagerly, Ling Tian chuckled and said, "Okay, then I will announce the top 100. The rest of the rankings have been posted in the hall of the Artifact Refining Pavilion. The first place , Lu Yu from the Yun family in Dongyang City; second place, Hai Dafu from the Hai family in Cangyue City..."
There were monks in the crowd screaming and cheering non-stop. Celebrating his entry into the top 100, not only brought huge benefits to the family, but also entered the Artifact Refining Pavilion to learn more things. Lu Yu listened expressionlessly, thinking in his heart how he would decline the offer of being an apprentice. If he rejects the pavilion master in front of so many monks, the pavilion master should take his face into consideration and not forcefully accept himself as an apprentice in front of everyone. After going out, as long as you leave Cangyue City quickly, there shouldn't be any major problems.
After a stick of incense, Ling Tian finished reading the list of the top 100. According to the usual practice, the next step is for the first-ranked monk to come on stage to receive the reward. It's just that the reward this time is to become the Pavilion Master's personal disciple. Presumably, the pavilion master should personally accept him as a direct disciple in front of all the monks.
Ling Tian calmly scanned the monks below. After staying on Lu Yu's face for a moment, he smiled gently. Seeing this, Lu Yu secretly made up his mind that as long as Ling Tian asked him, he would immediately refuse the apprenticeship.
"Hai Dafu! You come up!" Ling Tian said lightly. This is beyond everyone's expectations. Even Hai Dafu was slightly taken aback, and pinched his pockmarked face. A painful feeling told me that I was not dreaming. The master actually asked himself to go up, is it because he wants to accept himself as a direct disciple
Thinking of this, Hai Dafu made a promise, and walked towards Ling Tian's location. The surrounding monks all looked at him with envious eyes, which made Hai Dafu feel surprisingly good, and finally looked at Lu Yu in the crowd with provocative eyes.
"Meet Master!" Hai Dafu saluted respectfully.
Ling Tian looked at the disciple in front of him, and asked without a trace of emotion in his words: "Let me ask you, are you plotting to assassinate other fellow disciples!"
Hai Dafu was taken aback when he heard the words, and stood there dumbfounded. I don't know what Master means by this
"Same sect? No! How dare a disciple do such a thing?" Hai Dafu knelt down and explained.
Ling Tian smiled coldly and said, "No? There are many disciples who can confirm that you conspired to kill Lu Yu." With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen disciples were escorted to the square by the blue-clothed guards. When these disciples saw Ling Tian, they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that these were all ordered by Hai Dafu and had nothing to do with them.
Seeing this scene, Hai Dafu's mind was buzzing, not knowing what happened.
"Murting the same family is a crime, even if you are from the Hai family." Ling Tian said coldly. After finishing speaking, he waved his hand casually, and several streaks of yellow sword energy flew out from his fingertips. There were bursts of piercing sounds in the air. Immediately, more than a dozen "puchi" sounds were heard. Hai Dafu and a dozen other minions turned into fly ash and completely disappeared in the square.
All the monks below stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them. Most don't understand what's going on. However, there are also a small number of smart people who understand Ling Tian's meaning. Ling Tian beheaded his registered disciples and a group of subordinates in order to tell the entire Cangyue City that he attached great importance to the newly recruited disciples. If anyone touches his disciple, he will have trouble with Ling Tian, which is clearly to create momentum for Lu Yu. Thinking of this, these smart people couldn't help wondering, who is this Lu Yu
Seeing Lu Yu in the scene just now, he was even more shocked at the moment. Unexpectedly, the pavilion master would kill if he said that he would kill, and even his own disciple was probably no different from an ant in his eyes. This ruthlessness made Lu Yu feel cold all over his body. The idea of refusing the Pavilion Master's acceptance of disciples was immediately dispelled. Lu Yu believed that if he dared to say no, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
"Lu Yu, come up." Ling Tian said lightly. It seemed that what happened just now was just a trivial thing.
Lu Yu settled down and walked out of the crowd slowly. The monks around looked at Lu Yu in awe, and consciously gave way to a passage.
"My lord, Pavilion Master!" Lu Yu saluted respectfully.
Hearing this, Ling Tian smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "From now on, you are my direct disciple. Why do you still call me Pavilion Master?"
"Meet Master!" Lu Yu said more respectfully with a trace of joy on his face.
"Good! Good! Good! This Hundred Souls Flag will be your teacher's gift to meet you." Ling Tian smiled slightly, and then with a wave of his sleeve, a small blue flag appeared in front of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu didn't hesitate, and held the blue flag in his hand. After a little investigation of his spiritual consciousness, he showed joy and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
When the monk below heard the words "Hundred Soul Banner". A frenzied expression appeared on his face. This Hundred Soul Banner is a well-known magic weapon of Ling Tian. It is said that there are one hundred beast souls whose strength is not weaker than that of a sword master in the Hundred Soul Banner. These ferocious beast souls are not only powerful, but also the best choice to be weapon spirits. I don't know how many monks have been peeping at the Hundred Souls Banner for a long time. As long as he has this Hundred Soul Banner, his strength is no less than that of ordinary sword master monks.
Ling Tian was very satisfied with Lu Yu's attitude, and said gently: "There are still some things here as a teacher, and we can't separate ourselves for the time being. You take my token first, and go to Ling Tianfeng to choose a cave." After finishing speaking, Ling Tian Just throw a token to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu took the token and bowed deeply to Ling Tian again. Like a ray of light, it flew towards the teleportation circle. Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed in the magic circle and disappeared.
This Ling Tianfeng Lu Yu had heard about Yunhexuan before. As the name suggests, Ling Tian Peak is the place where Ling Tian lives. It is said that this mountain is not only rich in aura, but also has many excellent ground fires in the mountain. They are all places that the refining monks yearn for very much.
As soon as he flew out of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Lu Yu's previous smile disappeared instantly. It turned out that he had just looked inside his body and found that there were Ling Tian's mana imprints left in several hidden places. And with the current strength, there is no way to resolve this mark.
Lu Yu had a gloomy expression when he thought of this imprint. He secretly cursed that Ling Tian was indeed an old fox. With this imprint, as long as he leaves Cangyue City, he will be discovered by him. Relying on the magic power of a monk in the imperial realm to shrink the ground into an inch, how could I escape from his palm
In the independent space of the Artifact Refining Pavilion at this moment. More than ten thousand monks still stood where they were, but their eyes were dull, without a trace of expression. And above the heads of these monks, Bingyu floated leisurely in the air, with a pink brilliance constantly emitting from her body, floating back and forth on each of the monks.
A few days later, these monks hurriedly left the Artifact Refining Pavilion and rushed back to their respective clans. The story of Ling Tian's standing up for the new disciple was spread all over the city. It's just that when asked what exactly is this refining competition? But none of the disciples could tell...
