Ling Xiao glanced around at these forty-eight people. Almost all of them were between 35 and 45 years old, and only five were under 30 years old, and the whole group seemed a bit aging.
This is already a master who has concentrated half of the mercenaries and adventurers in Meteorite City.
"You all want to follow me, all want to become stronger, and all want to become spiritual master level masters like the eagle and cold snake?" Ling Xiao asked lightly.
"Yes, Master Ling" forty-eight people answered in unison.
"Then tell me, what reason do I have to accept you?" Ling Xiao asked.
Forty-eight people looked at each other, and immediately a forty-year-old high-ranking profound scholar stepped forward and said: "Master Ling, I can help you kill someone. As long as Master Ling wants to kill someone, even if I die, I will kill the other person."
"What's your name, this uncle?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Master Huiling, my name is Kang Tuo," the middle-aged man responded.
"Kantuo, do you think you are better than the eagle?" Ling Xiao asked back.
"This..." Cantor was speechless when asked. He can kill people, and so can the eagle alone, and the eagle alone is much stronger than him. Why do people want him to do it
"Master Ling, I can do anything for you, as long as you are willing to accept me as a servant" a thin low-rank Xuanshi said loudly.
"Okay, then you commit suicide and take a look in front of me" Ling Xiao nodded and said.
As soon as these words came out, the low-rank Xuanshi retreated guiltily, not daring to say more. He wants to become stronger, but how can he become stronger when he is dead
For a moment, everyone was so speechless that they all felt that Master Ling was clearly making things difficult for them.
At this time, a clear voice sounded "I can die for Master Ling".
What came out was an unkempt woman, her voice was crisp and sweet, and her figure was graceful, but her face was mostly covered by her hair and she couldn't see it clearly.
"Can you really die for me?" Ling asked with a smile and squinted at the woman.
"Yes, Master Ling" The woman responded with no nonsense, took out the cold blade she was carrying, and wiped it towards her neck without hesitation.
"Enough!" Seeing that the cold blade was about to wipe her neck, Ling Xiao stopped shouting.
Although Ling Xiao spoke promptly, the cold blade still scratched her neck, and a few traces of blood flowed out. It is undeniable that if Ling Xiao called later, she might really have died in front of Ling Xiao.
"Come here" Ling Xiao waved to her and said.
The woman put away the cold blade and smiled at Ling.
"Raise your face" Ling Xiao ordered.
The woman trembled slightly, preferably raising her head.
Ling Xiao brushed her face-covering hair away, and a few hideous scars showed in front of her eyes.
I saw that the woman's face was slashed with dozens of knives, her entire face was as scary as a grimace, but her eyes were still clear and moving.
Ling Xiao took a breath and asked faintly: "What's your name?".
"Others call me Ghost Sanniang," the woman responded.
At this time, the faces of the mercenaries and adventurers next to them changed. Obviously they all knew the name Ghost Sanniang.
"You stay," Ling Xiao said lightly after releasing her show.
"Master Xie Ling" the woman knelt and thanked.
Then, Ling Xiao asked these mercenaries and adventurers with weird questions, and finally selected seven people with firm willpower and good potential to stay, and none of the others remained.
These mercenaries and adventurers may be a good force in Meteorite City, but their qualifications are limited, and they can only stay as a guard for the Ling family at best.
Nowadays, there are elders in the Ling family, and absolutely no one in Meteorite City would dare to provoke the stern prestige of the Ling family within two hundred years, so Ling Xiao didn't have to raise these people with low potential at all.
The reason why he singled out eight more people was to make plans for his own future, so his eyesight would not be limited to Meteorite City. The Xuanling Continent has a vast area and many strong people. Meteorite City is just the most backward and remote town. When you enter the mainland in the future, you must have a group of loyal assistants.
Therefore, these eight people will become Ling Xiao's right-hand man in the future.
"In three days, I will go to Zitianzong to run for outer disciples. I am asking you to stay. I will not be able to give you any benefits in a short period of time, but I will give you three years to consider carefully, whether you are determined. If you want to follow me, you have served as a guard in the Ling's house for the past three years, and you will practice more in your spare time. If you can still stay in the Ling's house after three years of my return, I will definitely let you get what you want. You got your wish," Ling Xiao said to the eight people in front of him.
"I will follow Master Ling to the death," the eight people knelt down on one knee and vowed.
"Well, you will never regret this choice in the future" Ling Xiao smiled satisfied.
The eight people in front of them didn't know, they chose to follow Ling Xiao, so that they would become the powerful eight generals next to Ling Xiao in the future, and they would be well-known in the Profound Spirit Continent.
Ling Xiao ordered Duying and Lengshe to temporarily take over the eight of them, and let them act as nurses in the family.
In a blink of an eye, another day passed, and another two days would be the day to leave Meteorite City.
Ling Xiao came to the place where the elders of Houshan Taishang practiced.
Now that the elder Taishang is rejuvenated again, advanced to the throne, and his life is greatly increased, so he no longer guards the Xuanji Pavilion as before, and sends an elder from the previous generation to guard and spend his time practicing.
"Old lady, I don't know what's the matter with you asking me to come?" Ling Xiao called out when he came to the cave.
Immediately afterwards, the elder Taishang walked out of the cave, and his whole person appeared energetic.
"The day after tomorrow is your day to go to Zitianzong?" the elder said.
"Yes, old lady" Ling Xiao replied.
"Are you reluctant to leave?" The Supreme Elder asked.
"I'm a little bit reluctant, but I want to leave even more" Ling Xiao replied firmly.
"Okay... I want to leave more." Taishang elder patted Ling Xiao's shoulder with a smile, and then he said, "Since your kid can cultivate profound strength again, I feel that your xinxing has become more tenacious, so I chose to let him You are my successor, but I didn't expect your Tianbin to be so amazing. It seems that Meteorite City will never be able to trap your flood dragon anymore."
"Of course, I won't look at whose disciple this young master is," Ling Xiaoxiao said flatly.
"Xiao Huatou, today I called you to tell you something about Zi Tianzong. Let me listen carefully. This is good for your future" the elder Tai Shang cursed lightly.
Ling Xiao immediately became serious. It was true that he didn't know anything about the sect at all.
"First of all, let me tell you about the division of sects. In our mainland, there are altogether divided into sects of grade 1 to grade 9. The ranks and above are super sects, each division has its own definition, and there are a total of 36 major sects in our northwest, among which Zitianzong ranks eighth among the 36 sects, and is very powerful. Gu said There are countless profound scholars in the Zitianzong, spiritual masters can be seen everywhere, and there are several powerful king-ranks sitting in the formation," the elder Taishang said lightly.
After hearing the words of the Supreme Elder, Ling Xiao couldn't help being a little confused.
He never thought that Zi Tianzong was of such a big background, and there were actually several powerful king-ranks sitting in the formation.
You must know that reaching the Xuanshi rank in Meteorite City is already considered a master, and the spiritualist rank is already top-notch strong. If the elders are not lucky enough to break through, I am afraid that there is not a king-rank strong in Meteorite City.
It's no wonder that the masters and elders were so respectful to the two Zitianzong deacons in the family competition that day. The background is really quite big!
What kind of existence is the king-level powerhouse, as long as one person is sent to Meteorite City, all the families in Meteorite City can be slaughtered.
"It has been more than two thousand years since Zitianzong established the sect. Our Meteorite City is under the jurisdiction of Zitianzong. As early as before, they would send people to Meteorite City every once in a while to select young generation elites to run for the outer sect. The number of disciples is just that every time the people who were selected to go to Meteorite City, they failed to pass the outer disciple test. As time passed, Zi Tianzong gave up going to Meteorite City to select outer disciples, but I don’t know why this time. It's really puzzling to appear again," said the elder Taishang.
"That's it." Ling Xiao was stunned. He felt that this time it must be Yun Mengqi's opportunity for him.
"Don't worry Mengqi, you will be mine sooner or later" Ling Xiao felt Yun Mengqi's painstaking efforts, and thought secretly and firmly in her heart.
"No matter what, it is a good thing that Zi Tianzong can come to Meteorite City to select disciples. This time it depends on whether you can pass the election and set a precedent for us in Meteorite City," the elder said in anticipation.
"That's natural. I will be able to pass through the difficulties of the outer disciples," Ling Xiao said confidently.
"I also believe that you can do it. Even if the force is not enough, your identity as a pharmacist is enough to make Zi Tianzong a guest of honor." The elder Taishang praised, and then he said: "Now the internal and external troubles have been eliminated, I It's also time to travel around and see if there is any ability to go further in this life."
"The old lady is always strong, of course it's okay" Ling Xiao said.
"To be honest, if it weren’t for your drops of Ten Thousand Years Tree milk, the old man, I would have gone to see the King Hades. In fact, as early as when I was young, in order to practice the Vajra Five Change Jue and wander around, I had many dark diseases all over my body. This also caused me. I haven't been able to break through the reason. Fortunately, the old man chose you as a little guy when his life is near. You are destined to be the lucky star of my destiny, and the lucky star of our Ling family!" The elder said with emotion.
Indeed, if Ling Xiao hadn't had the Ten Thousand Years Tree Milk, he would have died long ago, and he had always been thankful in his heart that he had chosen such a good successor.
Being so boasted by the Supreme Elder, the cheeky Ling Xiao was a little embarrassed.
In his heart, he objected to thinking "I am the lucky star of many beauties, but it's almost the same!".
After talking with the elder Taishang for a long time, Ling Xiao went to see his grandfather Ling Cang again, naturally unavoidably nagging.
This made Ling Xiao grateful to these two old people, and she would never forget her roots when she became stronger in the future.
Then the time agreed with the Deacon Zi Tianzong came.
