Hard to be a master

When Guan Jingxuan first came to Qinghui Palace, Qi Yue's stage of transforming spirits was close to completion, Gu Qinglan was in the middle stage of Yuanying stage, and Sun Yumo was between the stage of forming alchemy and the stage of Yuanying stage.And as Qi Yue's eldest disciple, Jiuli, with his excellent talent and understanding, is the best among all the disciples, and he is worthy of stepping into the stage of transforming gods, becoming the second person in Qinghui Palace to enter the stage of transforming gods after Qi Yue. period of people.

It is no secret that Jiuli is infatuated with Qi Yue in Qinghui Palace, and he himself has no intention of hiding it.No matter in front of Qi Yue or everyone in the teacher's school, he never concealed it, so Guan Jingxuan understood this fact as soon as he entered the teacher's school.Qi Yue naturally knew about it, and her attitude of refusal was very clear from the beginning to the end, but Jiu Li didn't seem to mind that the other party only regarded him as an apprentice, and accompanied him attentively.Perhaps it was because Jiuli was the first apprentice she accepted, although Qi Yue had no affection for him, she still favored him.Therefore, when Gu Qinglan and Sun Yumo both established their own alchemy successively, Jiuli still lived in Qinghui Palace, and Qi Yue did not deliberately alienate him.

Qi Yue is extremely talented and has an unyielding temperament. After becoming the direct disciple of Immortal Yue Qi, her practice has improved by leaps and bounds, and she soon became famous.In addition, Qi Yue is free and easy by nature, dares to love and hate, has a good appearance, and is very popular in Kunlun, and is the object of admiration of many Kunlun monks.Jiuli has always been dismissive of Qi Yue's other admirers, including his close relationship with Qi Yue, which he doesn't pay much attention to. At most, he encountered a big battle, but he never really had a few jealousy.Until, Guan Jingxuan worshiped as a teacher.

In fact, Guan Jingxuan still hasn't figured out why Jiuli cares about him so much.Qi Yue treated Guan Jingxuan really well, after all, she was her closed disciple, and she was the youngest one, so she was very concerned about teaching and practicing, but also in life, but it did not surpass the friendship between master and apprentice.And at that time, Qi Yue was about to enter the period of crossing the catastrophe, and she was not in Kunlun most of the time, so she didn't have much time to take care of their senior brothers. Guan Jingxuan was taken care of by Gu Qinglan and Sun Yumo most of the time.Jiuli followed Qi Yue's footsteps, and he didn't appear in Qinghui Palace much, but every time he met him, Guan Jingxuan could feel the obvious hostility from Jiuli, and each time it became more serious.Jiuli hardly talked to him, and Guan Jingxuan didn't dare to talk to him. Whenever the other party's eyes passed by him, Guan Jingxuan would feel a chill down his spine, with a kind of malice that could not be ignored.

And Jiuli's malice finally turned into action one day three years after Guan Jingxuan became a teacher.

That day, Gu Qinglan assigned Guan Jingxuan a homework to solve the illusion of Lianhuan.There are nine floors in the illusion, and each floor has different obstacles or monsters.At that time, although Guan Jingxuan's talent was good, he was still just a young monk who had not yet formed an alchemy, and his cultivation and experience were very limited. Gu Qinglan didn't make things difficult for him, and controlled the difficulty and danger of each level of illusion. He also gave him a bamboo branch before he entered the illusion, and he could be teleported out by breaking the bamboo branch as a last resort.

However, it was such a seemingly perfectly arranged homework that almost killed Guan Jingxuan.

Guan Jingxuan was originally intelligent, and in his spare time, he liked to read various cultivation scriptures and secret books, and he was also familiar with the mutual generation and restraint of yin and yang and five elements, so the first three illusions were broken very easily.But after being passed into the fourth-floor illusion, he immediately noticed something was wrong.This layer of illusion is lingering and dim, full of the breath of death.The illusory air of death is completely different from the real air of death. As soon as Guan Jingxuan entered the illusion, his hairs stood on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat instantly. His whole body was enveloped by an invisible pressure, and he was a little out of breath. .

It's a pity that at that time he was not as well-informed as he is now. He only knew that something was wrong with this illusion, but he didn't know how dangerous the situation he was in now. He thought it was set up by Gu Qinglan on purpose, so he pushed forward .Soon, he encountered a terrifying opponent that he had never expected in this illusion—the ghostly thing.

The Netherworld of Huangquan is a forbidden area for both demonic and immortal cultivators.That is the place where dead souls and ghostly things gather. If a stranger enters the underworld rashly, his spiritual veins will be blocked, and his spiritual power and yang energy will continue to dissipate. Be careful and you will lose your mind.Nether creatures are not the same as ordinary demons and evil spirits. They are born in the underworld, are cruel and bloodthirsty, and are born with extremely heavy hostility and demonic energy. They cannot easily appear in the human world, otherwise they will be easily sanctioned by heavenly thunder.Therefore, cultivators don't see many ghostly things, and monks with low cultivation bases will generally choose to avoid them if they encounter them by accident.

When Guan Jingxuan was besieged by four ghostly creatures that suddenly appeared, he immediately broke the bamboo branch, but he was not sent out of the illusion as expected.Although he reacted very quickly and threw a blindfold to jump out of the encirclement, summoned the Floating Cloud Fan and fled quickly, those ghostly things were still chasing after him.To make matters worse, Guan Jingxuan discovered that these four ghost creatures were not the only ones in this illusion, and more and more ghost creatures joined the team chasing him.In fact, these things that don't even have a fixed form are just low-level ghostly things, but for Guan Jingxuan, they are enough.Soon he was overtaken and rolled down from the Floating Cloud Fan.

At that time, Guan Jingxuan hadn't formed an alchemy yet, and he didn't have a natal spiritual weapon. The best weapon he had was a high-grade spirit sword that Qi Yue gave him.There are a lot of talismans and magic weapons given by the brothers in Qiankun's bag, but no matter what, the power that can be exerted is directly related to the user's own cultivation base.So soon, Guan Jingxuan was bruised and bruised under the siege of the ghostly things, and the devilish energy infiltrated from the wound continued to devour his spiritual power. After a while, Guan Jingxuan's spiritual and physical strength were exhausted, and he fell down exhausted.

Before completely losing consciousness, Guan Jingxuan suddenly remembered that when he was apprenticed to his teacher, Qi Yue had given him a Ping An Fu, and told him to burn the Ping An Fu if it was a last resort, so as to save his life.At the juncture of life and death, Guan Jingxuan gritted her teeth and squeezed out the last bit of strength to take out Pinganfu. With all her strength, she only tore off one corner of Pinganfu, and then fell unconscious.

When I woke up, it was already ten days later.Both Gu Qinglan and Sun Yumo looked unhappy when they came to see him, and Gu Qinglan blamed himself especially.From Sun Yumo's narration, Guan Jingxuan knew that after he tore up the Ping An Fu, Qi Yue was immediately sent into the illusion, and after cleaning up the ghostly things in the illusion, he brought Guan Jingxuan out.

Sun Yumo said: "There is a gap in the illusion, which is directly connected to the ghost of Huangquan, so there are so many ghost things pouring in."

Gu Qinglan said with a sullen face, "Junior Brother Guan suffered from this ordeal because of my lack of skill in learning. I didn't even know that the illusion and the bamboo branches had been tampered with."

Sun Yumo said: "I can't blame you, after all, the one who did it is..."

Who was the one who did the tricks, Sun Yumo didn't finish.

Guan Jingxuan, who was still lying on the bed, was confused by what he heard, and asked: "According to senior brother, the things in the illusion are not accidents, but man-made?"

Gu Qinglan frowned so much that he could kill a fly, Sun Yumo hesitated to speak for a while, and finally said: "This matter...let's wait for Master to tell you, and you should rest well first."

That night, Qi Yuelai visited Guan Jingxuan.Only then did he realize that it was not an outsider who tampered with the illusion, but their elder brother, Jiu Li.For a long time afterwards, Guan Jingxuan never saw Jiuli again.It wasn't until a long time later that he learned from Sun Yumo that after Qi Yue rescued him, he became furious and severely questioned Jiuli in front of Gu Qinglan and Sun Yumo.As a result, Jiuli readily admitted what he had done, without showing any guilt or remorse. Qi Yue asked him why he did this, but he kept silent.Later, Jiuli was punished by Qi Yue to go to Hanqing Cave to contemplate for a year. One year later, after the expiry of the contemplation period, Jiuli left Kunlun directly out of Hanqing Cave to find Qi Yue who was traveling abroad.As for what happened in the illusion, only Qi Yue and her four direct disciples knew about the whole Qinghui Palace.

Hearing what Guan Jingxuan said, Shen Ziliu couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known that Jiuli had hurt Master so much, I should have killed him when I was on Mount Emei!"

Guan Jingxuan was speechless for a while, and said: "Xiaoliu, it's not to pour cold water on you for the teacher. You must know that even Senior Brother Jiuli back then, there were not many people in Kunlun who were his opponents."

Shen Ziliu was even more depressed when he heard the words, and he hammered the table unwillingly.

Zi Lan said: "As far as I know, to open the passage to the underworld in the human world must be a forbidden technique, and it can't be done with a high level of cultivation, you must have the power of the demon's underworld engraving— —How did Jiuli do it?"

Guan Jingxuan frowned slightly, and said: "I'm not too clear about this as a teacher. After I came out of the illusion, my master only asked me to recover from my injuries. She didn't say much about Huangquan Youming."

Zi Lan pondered for a moment, then said, "What about the three crimes that Master just mentioned, and the other two?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "Because I have personally experienced the matter of hurting my fellow disciples, I know it fairly clearly, but I don't know much about the other two. I only know that after Master entered the period of crossing the catastrophe, Brother Jiuli became more and more gloomy. At that time, as a teacher, I was really afraid of him and hid if I could, so I didn’t know what happened during that period. Until one month before the master’s ascension, he suddenly called all the disciples to gather in the main hall of Qinghui Palace, and publicly It is announced that Brother Jiuli will be expelled from the sect with immediate effect due to the three crimes."

As soon as Qi Yue said this, everyone in the first hall was shocked, because Jiu Li was the first and only apprentice who was expelled by Qi Yue.And this person is still Qi Yue's founding disciple, the one who stayed by her side the longest.Guan Jingxuan still remembers the disappointment, regret, reluctance and determination in Qi Yue's eyes when she announced the matter.And Jiuli, who was kneeling in front of the hall, actually laughed after listening to it, making people shudder all over.

"Thank you Master for your teaching over the years." Jiuli said softly, "Even if Master drives me out of the sect today, my mind will not change."

Qi Yue closed her eyes and said lightly, "Let's go."

Jiu Li got up and dusted the front of his robe, and took a deep look at Qi Yue: "We will meet again."

After that, no one knew where Jiuli went, until one month later, Qi Yue's ascension to heaven came to Kunlun.When the last and most critical thunder came down, Jiuli, who had disappeared for a month, suddenly appeared in the thunder formation and caught the thunder before Qi Yue, and the two people in the center of the thunder formation were instantly engulfed by the thunder.When the thunder was over and the disciples of Qinghui Palace rushed to the place where the thunder had just landed, Qi Yue had already disappeared, and the Xianze remaining in the thunder pit indicated that she had successfully overcome the catastrophe.As for Jiuli lying in the pit, his natal spiritual weapon was damaged, his spiritual veins were cut off, and he was lifeless.
