I don't want to accept Long Aotian as a disciple today

For the Sheng family, the ancestor's departure from customs is a once-in-a-thousand-year event. Therefore, the disciples of the Sheng family knelt from the bottom of the Panlong Cliff to the top of the Panlong Cliff. They were densely packed and filled the stone steps. Grass on both sides.

Only the elder-level Sheng family can guard the outside of the ancestor's retreat - Zhaixing Xiaoyuan.

The Lord of Sanfeng knelt outside the gate of the courtyard and watched as Sheng Qianqiu opened the gate and walked in.

Sheng Qianqiu had finished bathing and burning incense. Wearing the ancestor's favorite herb and wearing a purple dress, he came to the closed door and bowed respectfully three times before entering via voice transmission: "Respectfully invite the ancestor to come out!" close."

At this moment, a ray of white light rushed across the blue sky, circled the mountain peaks above and below Xuanmen in an instant, and returned to the courtyard again.

There was a soft "bang", and the door opened automatically.

Sheng Qianqiu bowed three more times before walking in, and an old man in a wheelchair came out from inside.

The old man looked unattractive, even a little bald, with white hair fluttering in the wind, showing a somewhat sinister and difficult to get along with.

Some elders couldn't help raising their heads to look at their ancestors, but as soon as they raised their eyes, they met the ancestors' sharp and frightening eyes, as if all their inner thoughts were exposed|in broad daylight, and they couldn't help feeling flustered. put your head down.

Sheng Qianqiu moved close to the old ancestor's side, and his face revealed a look of pride, only he was allowed to serve him personally, the old ancestor could not do without him, and these people could not bear the coercion of the old ancestor, they could not replace him at all he.

In this way, his odds of winning have increased by a few points. No, it should be said that he is already sure of winning.

"Old Ancestor, you have just left customs, why not rest at the Luoxing Pond on Tianshu Peak today?" Sheng Qianqiu suggested.

Luoxing Pool is one of the Twelve Blessed Places. It is famous for its beauty at night in Taoism. It is said that this mirror-like pool is located on a peak at the foot of Tianshu Peak. There are no other peaks around. On a clear night, the Milky Way And all the stars in the sky are reflected in the falling star pool, as if the heaven and the earth are upside down, in the infinite universe, I don't know what is the sky and what is the earth, it is very beautiful.

"Very good." The old ancestor said slowly.

This is enough for Sheng Qianqiu. The ancestors never speak to people he doesn't trust, and Sheng Qianqiu is the person he trusts the most.

Sheng Qianqiu accompanied the ancestor out of the gate, and the children of the Sheng family outside immediately knelt down to welcome the ancestor to leave the gate, and there was a lot of shouting for a while.

Wherever the ancestor's sharp gaze went, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to face his scrutiny.

There was only one person who seemed to be in a trance, and his eyes met those old eyes that were sinister and sharp, but he didn't avoid them in the slightest.

"Old ancestor?" Sheng Qianqiu felt the people around him stop.

"The new peak master?" the old ancestor asked after looking at him.

Following the eyes of the ancestor, Sheng Qianqiu saw Sheng Yusui.

Seeing Sheng Yusui, he became furious and said in a low voice, "That's what I told you, Tianji Peak Lord Sheng Yusui."

"En." The ancestor didn't say anything, and the two walked out of the yard.

At this time, everyone felt that the scene in front of them suddenly had a double image, as if they saw a small lake on the top of the mountain on Panlong Cliff?

Soon, the double image disappeared, and the surroundings returned to normal, except that two people were missing - the ancestor and Sheng Qianqiu.

"what's going on?"

"Damn it, I saw clearly just now that there is a lake here!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't say those ignorant words, this is a movement technique that can only shrink the ground into an inch, and only a powerful person in the fusion stage."

"It's just pulling the destination in front of you and walking there...it's scary."

After Sheng Qianqiu welcomed the ancestor back to Tianshu Peak, he closed the door and declined all visits.

Sheng Yusui returned to Tianji Peak alone.

As soon as he walked to the front of the main hall, Sheng Yusui felt depressed, grabbed a yellow-clothed disciple and asked, "Is there anyone visiting today?"

The disciple in yellow replied, "Not yet."

Sheng Yusui was even more unhappy, and said to himself: "This person surnamed Lu is really calm."

"What did the Peak Master say?" The disciple in yellow didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing, I'm going out for a while."

Sheng Yusui turned his head and went to Wanhua Mountain. The Wanhua Mountain was very quiet, and the acacia trees were blooming brilliantly.

Han Xijian was releasing small water to water the seedlings, and when he saw Sheng Yusui coming, he said hello.

Sheng Yusui came over with a cold face and asked, "Where's Lu Wanxian?"

Han Xijian said: "It seems that I went to Jintiesi with Qin Chiyu."

"Hmph." Sheng Yusui's face was unhappy, "Understood." After speaking, he turned his head and walked away, turning into a blue light and disappearing into the sky.

Sheng Chalcedony was finally found by Lu Wanxian at the Pomo Rock on the back mountain of Jintiesi.

Lu Wanxian was watching the ore smelting process like a normal person, watching how rough rough stones entered the machine, and how they were polished into a qualified spirit stone through the operation of spiritual power and manpower.

"Hey, what kind of wind is this that brought Tianji Peak Master here?" Lu Wanxian said with a smile, looking at Sheng Yusui.

Sheng Yusui's complexion was not very good-looking: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the smelting of spirit stones." Lu Wanxian pulled Sheng Chalcedony to look at the smelting machine from one end, and told him how each link was polished, how to ensure the quality, and minimize the loss, talking happily all the way.

Amidst the huge roar of the machine, Sheng Yusui could only feel the heat wave rolling towards his face. He is a spiritual root of the ice element, and he doesn't like heat the most, so he just wants to get out as soon as possible.

However, Lu Wanxian talked too much, and Sheng Yusui couldn't bear to interrupt him.

Finally, the machine came to an end, pieces of crystal clear spirit stones spit out from the exit, one after another, fell into the small trolley where the finished spirit stones were piled up, under the dark rock wall, like sparkling crystals, It is very beautiful. There are small vortexes of spiritual power of different attributes in the middle of the clear crystal flesh. It is these spiritual powers that emit light. If you look carefully, each piece of spiritual stone seems to contain a starry sky.

Sheng Yusui has never carefully looked at these spirit stones, they are just things for daily use, who would take them out and study them carefully?

"Isn't it beautiful?" Lu Wanxian took out a golden spirit stone from the trolley and showed it to Sheng Yusui. While watching, he explained how to judge the quality of spirit stones and how to start polishing them .

"It's true... I haven't noticed it before." Sheng Yusui said.

"It's not that you didn't pay attention in the past," Lu Wanxian said with a smile, and the two of them came out of the dark Pomo Rock and came into broad daylight, "It's just that the spirit stone you used didn't meet such a high standard."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Because of the mine veins, you know that most of the spiritual stones in Xuanmen come from the mine veins of your Sheng family, right?" Lu Wanxian smiled.

"nature."

"Over the past 100 years, the quality of the spirit stones produced by the Sheng family's mines has continued to decline. On the one hand, the mines are indeed over-exploited, and on the other hand, Sheng Qianqiu deliberately did it. , is far inferior to the function of being used as currency to buy other things, and as a currency, Lingshi does not need to have equivalent spiritual power to play a purchasing role. Can you understand this?"

"Ah."

Lu Wanxian nodded, and continued: "Sheng Qianqiu took advantage of this, shoddy the inferior spar, made spirit stones and spread them in the market, and Bafang Bank had to pay the same price to buy Sheng Qianqiu The rough stone provided."

Sheng Yusui frowned: "Where did the spirit stone come from just now?"

"That's the spar mine of Yelan Ancient Road." Lu Wanxian said, "Qin Chiyu and Bafang Bank have reached a long-term cooperation to provide the spar mine of Yelan Ancient Road, which will be used to make spirit stones in Jintiesi and then sold to Bafang Bank."

"I see."

"The quality of the spirit stones in the Yelan Ancient Path is far better than Sheng Qianqiu's. Therefore, now Bafang Bank hardly accepts Sheng Qianqiu's rough stones. Even if Sheng Qianqiu exerts pressure, Zhu Shanren will choose to delay as long as he can. —— Now you understand why Sheng Qianqiu must drive Wanhua Mountain to extinction, right?" Lu Wanxian said.

Sheng Yusui was silent.

Lu Wanxian stopped, looked at Sheng Yusui, and said seriously: "Maybe you prefer to practice alone and don't like to meddle in these nosy things, and I don't want to force you, but the current situation has already forced you here, if you don't If you come out to preside over the Sheng family, the entire Sheng family and Xuanmen will be defeated by Sheng Qianqiu. Lingshi is just the beginning. The lack of quality of Lingshi will eventually affect all aspects of Xuanmen life. Those who first need the spiritual power in Lingshi The workshops that come to make magical artifacts will be the first to be affected, and the young monks who bought these magical artifacts obviously have enough diligence and talent, but they can't work hard, and their progress is extremely slow. Confidence, when they are needed in the future, they have no ability to come up, guess what will happen? What will it bring to the whole Taoist sect? Now is a time of peace, the years are quiet and good, once a catastrophe occurs in the future, the Taoist gate will be strong from the outside, powerless To deal with it, you can only be beaten passively."

Sheng Yusui had never thought about problems from this angle, and was shocked by Lu Wanxian's vision and depth of thinking for a while.

"You think it has nothing to do with you, but in fact, who will be the head of the family is not only related to you, but also closely related to your respected elders, friends around you, and disciples of your professor. Now, the current situation requires you to come out, You can't choose to be alone." Lu Wanxian sighed.

Sheng Yusui fell silent again, his nature and sense of responsibility were fighting fiercely in his heart, he knew that he was indeed standing at a three-way intersection, and it was time to make a choice.

"But, I don't think I'm suitable to be the head of the family." Sheng Yusui said shamelessly, "Lu Wanxian, I think you are more suitable."
