Hard to be a master

Regarding the grievances between Guan Jingxuan, Ling Xifeng and Xu Qingqian decades ago, Shen Ziliu was only a little surprised after hearing this, but did not investigate further.Originally, he only wanted to know whether Guan Jingxuan and Xu Qingqian had any special relationship, but now that he knew that Ling Xifeng and Xu Qingqian were the protagonists of that romantic past, Shen Ziliu naturally didn't care.

Xu Qingqian put a ban on the entrance of Kunlun. From now on, except for Shen Ziliu, people of Wang Yan's bloodline will not be able to step into the Kunlun territory.If they left Kunlun, Shen Ziliu and Guan Jingxuan, as monks who could resist the wind and hide in hiding, as long as they didn't want the Wang family to find them, they would definitely be helpless.

After solving the things that should be solved, Shen Ziliu's retreat can't be delayed any longer.Two days later, before Guan Jingxuan woke up, Shen Ziliu secretly stayed in his bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed watching him for a long time, finally carefully kissed Guan Jingxuan on the forehead, and went out quietly.

This time Shen Ziliu didn't pester Guan Jingxuan to send him off, firstly because he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave when he saw him, and secondly because he was worried that it would be inconvenient for Guan Jingxuan to leave Wujianfeng alone, so he quietly left before dawn .The retreat time of Zuo Zuo will not be too long this time, so Shen Ziliu put down his reluctance for Guan Jingxuan for the time being, and went to Wujian Peak alone.

The retreat before the alchemy trial is equivalent to a rehearsal of the alchemy trial. It is different from the general retreat. This retreat is in an independent illusion. There are two ways for the retreater to come out of the illusion. One is to return from the entrance, and the other is to come out from the exit.If they go back the same way, the retreaters will not be hindered in any way, and they can go out as they go in, but there will be no improvement in cultivation.If you want to leave from the exit, you need the retreater to break through a phantom array.

In particular, the illusion will automatically adjust the effect and strength of the illusion array according to the retreater's current ability and cultivation base, and the strength of the illusion array is definitely greater than the retreater's cultivation base when entering the illusion.In other words, if the retreater has not been promoted in the illusion, it is impossible to break through the illusion.

When leaving the exit through the phantom array, the closed-door practitioner will get a paper appraisal, and the appraisal will give a suggestion for the trial level that the closed-door practitioner is suitable to apply for based on his performance in the illusion.Generally speaking, if the result of the appraisal does not meet the expectations of the retreater, and the retreater is unwilling to lower the trial level, most people will choose to temporarily put aside the alchemy trial and practice for a while until there is some improvement. Test again after the upgrade.Of course, there are also those who ignore the appraisal and still apply for trials according to their own wishes, but the results are often quite tragic.

In terms of practice, Guan Jingxuan has always had a natural attitude towards his apprentices and himself, and Shen Ziliu has always reassured him. After going to retreat, Guan Jingxuan was neither surprised nor worried, and lived a leisurely and comfortable life as always.

In contrast, Zi Lan's sudden visit surprised Guan Jingxuan.

Yi Zilan started the last retreat before Shen Ziliu's alchemy trial earlier than Shen Ziliu, and even came to say goodbye to Guan Jingxuan before the retreat.It's not that Guan Jingxuan is partial to his apprentice, but in all fairness, with Zilan's aptitude, his performance after joining Kunlun has exceeded everyone's expectations of him.Now that Zi Lan can leave the customs so quickly, it is really surprising.

Zi Lan is a good friend of Shen Ziliu, and has always respected Guan Jingxuan. Apart from Shen Ziliu, he and Guan Jingxuan are the closest among the juniors, so the two of them don't have so many host-guest politeness.After inviting Zi Lan into the front hall to sit down, Guan Jingxuan made a pot of tea herself.

After Zi Lan got up to take the teacup, Guan Jingxuan who was sitting opposite him asked, "When did Zi Lan leave the customs?"

Compared with before the retreat, Zi Lan's appearance has not changed much, but her spirit is more energetic, and the aura on her body has been restrained a lot.After taking a sip of tea, he put the teacup lightly on the table, and then said: "The junior just left the customs seven days ago, and it was only because he was delayed by other things after leaving the customs that he didn't come to greet Mr. Guan at the first time."

Guan Jingxuan said: "It's really surprising that you left the retreat in less than a month. It seems that Zi Lan's attainments in cultivating immortals are also very good."

Zi Lan smiled and said, "Where is it, I am still worse than Brother Shen."

Guan Jingxuan also said with a smile: "Xiaoliu also benefited from his talent... By the way, Zi Lan came to find Xiaoliu today, right? Unfortunately, he just went to retreat a few days ago. If you want to find him, you may still It will take ten days and a half."

Zi Lan said clearly: "Brother Shen is also doing the retreat before forming alchemy?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded and said: "That's right. Your current cultivation base is enough to form a golden core, and you can make a greater breakthrough after forming a core. Zi Lan might as well—"

Just as he was speaking, Guan Jingxuan suddenly noticed a pure and thick spiritual power rippling from Zi Lan's body, and a golden light flashed across his eyebrows.Guan Jingxuan was taken aback when he saw this, and then said in surprise: "You have already formed a golden core?!"

Zi Lan coughed lightly, and said, "The delay that this junior mentioned just now is the trial of forming an alchemy."

Guan Jingxuan was astonished for a long time before sighing, "It's really a frightening young generation..."

Shen Ziliu, who has always been considered the most outstanding monk in the same period, is still in retreat for the trial of alchemy, and Zi Lan, who has always been one step behind him, has formed the golden alchemy first, which is really unexpected.Besides, Guan Jingxuan always felt that Zilan was very stable, but she never thought that she would learn how to tease him after not seeing him for a while.Only then did it become clear that he deliberately suppressed his aura, and Guan Jingxuan didn't realize that he had already formed the alchemy.

After a few words of modesty, Zi Lan said, "I just made a small joke with Mr. Guan, and I hope you don't mind. Today I am not here for Brother Shen, but a special trip to visit Mr. Guan. I want to ask for something. "

Guan Jingxuan picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Now that Zi Lan has formed a golden core, her cultivation level is already higher than mine, and her practice is the way of swordsmanship. I really can't think of anything I can help you with."

After thinking about it, Guan Jingxuan suddenly said, "Hmm...could it be about apprenticeship?"

Zi Lan said: "Mr. Guan is wise."

Guan Jingxuan took a sip of tea, and said: "Since there is someone asking for me, the person Zi Lan wants to learn from must be my acquaintance. Among the people I know, there are not many people who have achieved great success in sword cultivation... Could it be Xifeng? "

Zi Lan shook her head, and said: "Shangzun Yinlan has accepted Senior Brother Qing as his apprentice, and now he is traveling in the outside world. Even if this junior wants to worship him as a teacher, he will not be able to find anyone. What's more, the person this junior wants to worship is not Yin Lanshang." Respect."

The most likely candidate was ruled out, Guan Jingxuan thought for a while and said, "Could it be my elder brother?"

Although Gu Qinglan was not a disciple of Wujian Peak, he still practiced the authentic way of swordsmanship. His natal spiritual weapon, the Slashing Evil Spirit Sword, is also a well-known magical weapon in the cultivation world.If he is serious, Ling Xifeng is not his opponent.

Zi Lan still shook her head and said, "Shangfeng Fengzheng has entered the stage of crossing the catastrophe, and this junior dare not disturb his cultivation."

Guan Jingxuan rubbed his chin for a while and raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it Lingshan Daoist? Although he is quite accomplished in the way of swordsmanship, maybe he is more willing to teach you divination..."

Seeing that Guan Jingxuan's words were getting more and more outrageous, Zi Lan didn't let him guess, but stood up and straightened her clothes, then knelt down in front of Guan Jingxuan under Guan Jingxuan's surprised eyes, straightened her back and raised her hand, and looked at Guan Jingxuan seriously. , and said word by word: "Although it is a bit abrupt to say this - Mr. Guan, are you willing to accept the younger generation as an apprentice?"
