Chapter 42 Binglan! Come to Changchun to Have a Look
…
at the same time.
Xuanbing Palace.
The howling cold wind blew through the snow peaks, as if it had lasted forever, giving this huge palace complex that seemed to be carved from ice crystals a bit of a murderous atmosphere.
Snowflakes fell from the dense clouds and landed on the carved tile cornices that seemed to be made of ice and snow, instantly integrating with the entire building.
Looking from a distance, the sky and earth are covered in snow, vast and desolate.
Only the robes and skirts flashing between the rolling buildings gave off a hint of fireworks.
At the highest core of the building complex, there is a Xuanbing Pavilion.
This is the place where the famous Master Binglan retreats for a long time. Only core disciples can occasionally be summoned to receive some guidance here.
Without her summons, even her direct disciples would not be allowed to enter without permission.
today.
This Xuanbing Pavilion seems to be a little different.
The strong blizzards that have permeated the surroundings all year round seemed to have dissipated a lot, and a ray of golden sunlight also penetrated from the thick clouds, reflecting on the Xuanbing Pavilion, making it shine.
…
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 Realm without being easily destroyed.
The disciples of Xuanbing Palace come to the arena to compete every day, confirming each other's progress in Xuanwu combat skills.
This kind of brave and enterprising atmosphere is naturally quite different from the peaceful and peaceful Changchun Valley.
They are addicted to cultivation and keen on fighting.
That's why.
The Xuanbing Palace lineage is recognized as the most powerful lineage in Zifu Academy.
Many outstanding young people want to join the lineage of Xuanbing Palace. However, Xuanbing Palace is the most strict in recruiting disciples and has always been willing to accept the lack of students.
Over time, although the Xuanbing Palace lineage has a small number of people, it has a gathering of elites.
Because of this, the disciples of the Xuanbing Palace lineage have always been proud of it and take their identities very seriously. When looking at other veins and valleys, it is natural to feel a little more condescending and proud.
In front of an ordinary arena.
An outstanding disciple in white attire was admonishing, assessing and allowing the new disciples to compete with each other.
There are only a dozen new disciples this year, but all of them are elites among the younger generation. Each one has mid-level qualifications and has awakened a bloodline.
One of the most powerful ones has a qualification that reaches the first level of the middle grade, and is only one step away from being the top grade.
Such an outstanding disciple will definitely become a core disciple in the future, and may even have the opportunity to become a direct disciple.
Although Xuan Bing Palace focuses on practicing the "Xuan Bing Zhen Jue", it does not necessarily require Xuan Bing bloodline.
First, the mental method in the academy is all-encompassing.
Secondly, as long as there is no bloodline that conflicts too much with Xuan Bing's attributes, practicing "Xuan Bing Zhen Jue" will be quite powerful.
Even if there are conflicting bloodlines, there are other techniques that can be practiced.
I think that when Patriarch Longyan joined the Xuanbing lineage, he awakened the Yuanshui bloodline instead of the Xuanbing bloodline.
Among this group of new disciples, two are old acquaintances.
A young man wearing white attire with a somewhat shy temperament is Mrs. Bilian's brother-in-law, Yuwen Jianye.
The other one looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. The young man who is unusually tall and covered with tendons is Wang Zongsheng, the eighth generation male of the Wang family.
Because the two of them 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 have all awakened to the first level of bloodline, and it is not their turn to be proud.
"As for the disciples of my Xuanbing Palace lineage, what matters is bravery and diligence, and striving for the top." The outstanding disciple who has reached the Lingtai realm said with a straight face, "Whoever wants to be comfortable and lazy, it is better to choose the Changchun Valley lineage. do you understand?"
"I understand!"
The new disciples held their heads high and answered loudly.
"Now that I understand, if anyone makes a mistake, I will expel him." Outstanding disciples reprimanded as usual.
To this end at the same time.
Not far away, several young men in white clothes were passing by.
They are all handsome and handsome, with powerful auras, like dragons among men.
The leader among them looked like he was only in his twenties. His face was stern, and there seemed to be an aura of ice lingering around him, as if he had merged with the ice and snow.
It is so unfathomable that it makes people look up to the mountains.
As soon as the outstanding disciple saw this group of people, his eyes lit up and he whispered: "It turns out to be Ji Mingyu, senior brother Mingyu."
Then he saluted from a distance and said, "I've met Senior Brother Mingyu."
"Senior Brother Mingyu?"
The new disciples all looked over with curiosity.
Ji Mingyu and his group stopped.
A warm smile appeared on his face: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Kande. You have worked hard to recruit new disciples this time. You will train them well first, and later I will lead them to various channels to see them."
"Yes, Senior Brother Mingyu." Zhou Kangde bowed slightly excitedly and responded, "I will train them well and make sure they don't disgrace you, Senior Brother Mingyu."
After the encouragement, Ji Mingyu and his party left temporarily and walked towards the Xuanbing Palace, gradually moving away.
Zhou Kangde looked at each other all the way. It was not until Ji Mingyu disappeared that he turned back and said with pride: "You all heard it. Please take care of yourself. Brother Mingyu will take you there in the next two days." It’s a shameless thing to go around and see people.”
"Brother Jianye, what is knowledge?" Wang Zongsheng asked in a low voice.
He joined the Xuan Bing lineage. It's not that he understands how powerful this lineage is, it's just because of the words "Longyan Ancestor".
"Just go to other branches to show off your power." Yuwen Jianye came from an extraordinary background, and his family has produced many disciples in the academy for thousands of years. He naturally understands this trick.
"Shut up, everyone." Zhou Kangde angrily yelled, "When senior brother is talking, it is not your turn to whisper. If you do it again, you will be punished without mercy!"
Wang Zongsheng and Yuwen Jianye shuddered and quickly shut up.
Zhou Kangde then 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 Mingyu, this time Master invites us to meet, could it be that Senior Sister Longyan is back?"
"It's probably this matter." Another core disciple also said, "Senior Longyan has been away from the academy for sixty years. I heard that something happened to her family at that time. Master has talked about it several times in recent years. "
"If Senior Longyan can return to the academy, the strength of our Xuanbing Palace lineage will increase a lot."
"That's right, when Senior Sister Longyan was so powerful, I was just a new disciple, but I gained a lot of knowledge by following her."
The two of them spoke to each other with some expectation in their eyes.
Ji Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
It has been sixty years since Wang Longyan left the academy, and Ji Mingyu is only in his forties.
"I heard that Senior Longyan was sixty years old before she was promoted to the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm. She didn't look very strong." Ji Mingyu's eyes were slightly disdainful, "And I will definitely be able to advance to the middle stage in as little as three years or as long as five years. "
The other two older core disciples were stunned for a moment and both laughed: "Junior brother Mingyu was born in the famous Ji family of the sixth grade family. Naturally, he is more powerful than senior Longyan."
While a group of people were talking, they passed the guards and headed towards Xuanbing Pavilion.
…
at the same time.
Inside Xuanbing Pavilion.
A woman in palace attire sat high on the main seat.
She wears a white jade crown on her head. The jade is bright and clear, without a trace of color.
However, even against the backdrop of such snow-like white jade, her skin is still as crystal clear as jade, making it impossible to tell whether the jade is brighter or the skin is fairer.
An icy blue palace dress wrapped her exquisite body, making her temperament as cold as snow peaks and as elegant as snowflakes.
This woman in palace attire is naturally the master of this place, Master Binglan.
On the wall behind her, there was an ice crystal sword inserted in the scabbard.
That was her sword "Binglan". It was made of ice soul as its bones and condensed from the ice aura of the endless snow-capped mountains. The sword's intent was as cold as ice and exuded endless chill.
Because of the existence of the Binglan Sword, the entire Xuanbing Pavilion was filled with an invisible chilling air.
You can see how sharp this sword would be if it were unsheathed.
Patriarch Longyan was wearing a black ice silk skirt and a veil, sitting at the foot of Master Binglan.
Her icy white hair is spread over her shoulders. She is completely different from the young girl back then. Instead, she has a mature, quiet, and even a temperament that has experienced many vicissitudes of life.
When he was at home, Longyan Ancestor often dyed his hair black.
But during this trip to the academy, Wang Shouzhe gave many instructions and instructions to the ancestor Longyan to show off his hair with white hair. Especially when meeting Master Binglan, he must not dye his hair.
In fact, with Longyan's figure, temperament and charm, her ice-white hair makes her look even more like a goddess.
Sitting across from Patriarch Longyan was a handsome and handsome man who looked like he was just a young man. His magnanimity is like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, and his cultivation is unfathomable, all of which show that he is an extraordinary person.
This man turned out to be Fang Youan, who had talked with Master Binglan before. He was one of Master Binglan's direct disciples.
That ice-white hair naturally attracted the attention of Master Binglan.
She stared at it for half a stick of incense before asking calmly: "Longyan, what's the matter with your white hair?"
Patriarch Longyan said in a calm voice: "Master Qi, for about fifty years, I have been fighting against the poison of Yin evil, and my hair has turned gray without even realizing it."
Although her tone was calm, the content of her words made both Master Binglan and Fang Youan look askance at her.
For fifty years, I have been resisting the evil poison. The torment and pain involved, but just thinking about it makes one's scalp numb.
They simply couldn't imagine how hard Wang Longyan had lived these years.
Fang Youan's face did not change, but a sharp look suddenly flashed across his eyes, and then he said calmly: "In the future, if you meet Yinsha Sect disciples again, 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 has watched her grow up. If it hadn't been for the rules of the academy, he would have helped him long ago.
"Thank you, Senior Brother You'an." Ancestor Longyan's voice was calm, as if he was neither happy nor sad.
"Hmph!" Master Binglan's eyes were full of murderous intent, "I, Tu Longyan, spent fifty years struggling with the Yin evil poison, and then I had no choice but to absorb the Yin evil poison. Who of those people would dare to do it again? If you say anything, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Master, I think that although Junior Sister Longyan suffered such a catastrophe, she has sharpened her heart, which has allowed her to accumulate more knowledge and increase her potential." Fang Youan comforted, "In this case, maybe there will be a chance to rush into the Zifu. The situation is over.”
Everyone was talking.
Suddenly a young voice came from outside Xuanbing Pavilion: "Disciple Ji Mingyu and others, pay homage to Master."
Master Binglan's fierce expression softened slightly.
"Come in."
As he spoke, Master Binglan said happily to Longyan Patriarch He Yan: "Ming Yu is a new core disciple that I accepted later. He is no worse than you back then."
Followed.
When Ji Mingyu and others came in, they bowed when they should and exchanged greetings when they should.
Especially Ji Mingyu, who looked elegant and courteous. He also praised Longyan Ancestor and called him "Senior Sister" in a very affectionate way.
However, there was a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.
Wang Longyan is already in his early 120s, he has barely reached the late stage of the Lingtai realm, and his qualifications are only mediocre.
As for Ji Mingyu, he thought confidently, he would be able to reach the late stage of the Lingtai realm when he is ninety years old at most!
By the time he was over one hundred and twenty years old, hehe, he was already planning to attack the Heavenly Realm.
What he is most worried about is whether Wang Longyan's return to the door will affect his future pursuit of direct disciples.
Although they are both Master's disciples, direct disciples and core disciples are far different in terms of status and the resources they can enjoy.
…
"Mingyu." After a brief familiarity, Master Binglan ordered, "This time the academy's traditional discussion has been postponed for one day. Tomorrow you will take the new disciples to various peaks and valleys to see and experience everything. .”
"It's Master."
Ji Mingyu perked up and thought to himself, it seemed that Master still paid more attention to him.
But then, Master Binglan said again: "Longyan, you will go shopping with us tomorrow. You don't need to do anything, just show your face everywhere, say hello to the masters of each peak, and declare that you, Wang Longyan, will be here from now on." Back to the door wall.”
"It's Master."
Ancestor Longyan accepted the order.
The smile on Ji Mingyu's face faltered, and he instantly understood why the master had suppressed 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 his successor?
Anger suddenly rose in his heart. Why?
At this moment.
Outside the Xuanbing Palace, an old man's hearty laughter came from the sky: "Is Master Binglan here? I, Changchun, brought my new disciples to your palace to see you." The voice sounded plain, but I couldn't hide my pride no matter what.
What? Come to Changchun Valley to see our Xuanbing Palace?
There are only six people in Xuanbing Pavilion, but all of them look strange at this moment. Did you hear it wrong?
Ancestor Longyan's eyes were also filled with surprise.
I remember that when she was a core disciple in the Xuan Bing Palace, she always led the team to the Changchun Valley to experience things. Why is it only sixty years? The situation is reversed?
Could it be that Junior Brother Mingyu is incompetent?
Ancestor Longyan looked at Ji Mingyu with questioning eyes.
Ji Mingyu was naturally shocked. Faced with Wang Longyan's eyes, he was confused and felt that he had been wronged.
