Ever since he was brainwashed by Qi Ling, Lu Tianyu was in a daze for several days, and his gaze towards Xiao Ming became more and more strange.

Xiao Ming had no choice but to warn him again not to believe anything Qi Ling said, and then sent him to practice without seeing or worrying.

Therefore, under the blessing of the cassock, Lu Tianyu, who left the customs three months later, has jumped to the middle stage of foundation establishment, and Xiao Ming has also absorbed enough spiritual power to enter the late stage of Golden Core smoothly—of course, now Under the cover of the magic weapon, his outward cultivation was still in the middle stage of Golden Core.

Although it is already in the late stage of Jindan, it is still very early to reach the state of Dzogchen and become a baby of broken pills, but Xiao Ming is not in a hurry. The rapid improvement of his cultivation base is enough to surprise him, but he used to be as slow as a turtle. The training process of climbing also cultivated Xiao Ming's patience enough to support him to slowly look for opportunities for further breakthroughs.

After three months, the atmosphere in the Tianxuan Sect became tense again. When the big bell in front of the main hall square was rang, Xiao Ming took Lu Tianyu to gather together, and boarded the board with the rest of the elders and disciples who participated in the Zongmen Grand Competition. off the flying boat.

Because it has not participated in such a large-scale event for a long time, the previous flying boat of the Tianxuan Sect was quite old, and now in order to gain face in front of the other sects, the head of the sect had a long discussion with the elders in charge of general affairs, and then he was cruel , gritted his teeth and bought a new flying boat, and when Xiao Ming went to the main hall, the head and the elders were discussing this matter.

In order for the new flying boat to be worth the money, this sect grand competition is naturally only allowed to succeed and not to fail. Even if the Tianxuan sect is not as good as the middle sect with Zhenjun Nascent Soul in charge, compared to those small sects that only have Jindan Daoist Zongmen, however, is not bad, and how much benefit they can get from Luoshuizong in the next 50 years, it is here to fight.

On the flying boat, Xiao Ming also saw the yellow-shirted girl and the pink-shirted girl who were jealous because of his apprentice.

After all, they are Elder Jindan's most beloved young apprentice and little granddaughter. The cultivation resources obtained by the two girls are not bad, coupled with their talents, they were naturally selected as the disciples to participate in this competition.

When they saw Lu Tianyu who was following Xiao Ming, the eyes of the two girls lit up, while Xiao Ming smiled and looked sideways at his little apprentice: "Go, remember what I said to you earlier .”

Lu Tianyu curled his lips a little unwillingly: "If you can't appease them and let them coexist peacefully, then don't step on multiple boats, lest you capsize and drown." After a pause, his expression became subtle again, "The disciple knows How to do it, Ling'er...it taught me a lot of methods."

Xiao Ming: "..."

——I really want to seal the mouth of that weapon spirit!

Seeing Lu Tianyu reluctantly, turning his head three times towards his group of beauties, Xiao Ming finally heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to walk towards the other Jindan elders.

The grandfather of the girl in the yellow shirt and the master of the girl in the pink shirt both gave Xiao Ming a look, feeling helpless and complaining, while Xiao Ming smiled wryly and spread his hands: "Don't look at me like this, my apprentice's private affairs, even if I am You are a master, so you can't control it too much."

Thinking of their disciples or granddaughters, the two elders had to agree with Xiao Ming's words, sighed with sympathy, and turned to chatting about other sects participating in the Zongmen Grand Competition.Xiao Ming smiled as if he was listening, and didn't say much, but compared to what the other elders had heard, he knew a lot about those sects.

Xiao Ming has always been careful. Previously, because of his poor cultivation, he had to spend his mind on other "trifles" in order to survive.

With the help of Luoshuizong, he not only has a thorough understanding of the people in other sects who need attention, but also knows the relationship between everyone.After all, the network of cultivators is intricate and complicated, offending one person is not a big deal, but what is feared is that because you offend one person, a bunch of people will regard you as a thorn in their side and secretly cause trouble.

Originally, Xiao Ming mastered these things just as a precautionary measure, but he didn't expect to actually use them now—but the place of using them was completely beyond his expectation.

Of course, as a "loose cultivator", it is theoretically impossible for Xiao Ming to know too much about the elders in the sect, so for the sake of caution, he didn't say anything. A humble gesture.

Although the new flying boat is not the most expensive and luxurious one, its speed is also remarkable. It didn't take too long, and everyone from the Tianxuan Sect faintly saw the place where the Zongmen Grand Competition was held. The still relaxed atmosphere is Yi Su.

It's okay for the elders of Jindan, after all, with their cultivation base here, they have either passively or actively experienced the situation of fighting with others, but most of the disciples in the foundation period turned pale and could barely maintain their composure.

Among a group of tense disciples, the calm and calm Lu Tianyu stood out. He looked ahead, and his bright black eyes showed a bit of eagerness——Among the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect in the foundation-building period, Lu Tianyu Since there is no opponent, it is naturally a wish to see the situation of other sects now.

"Elder Zhao's disciple is really good at teaching..." Although he was quite dissatisfied with his granddaughter's backposting behavior, at this moment, Elder Liu couldn't help feeling so emotional.

Xiao Ming smiled humbly: "It's just that Tian Yu has always been stubborn and refused to admit defeat."

As if he noticed Xiao Ming's gaze, Lu Tianyu turned his head abruptly, his eyes became brighter, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said silently: "Master, this disciple will definitely not embarrass you!"

Xiao Ming's eyes warmed up, he nodded slightly, and then moved his gaze away from the flying boat.

As the flying boat landed slowly, the situation in the venue could be seen at a glance.

The Luoshui Sect deserves to be the well-deserved leader of the Taoist sect. There are no less than a dozen medium sects attached to it, and there are countless small sects.

"This... How long will it take to compete..." A Jindan elder was slightly speechless.Although there are not many Yuanying Zhenjuns, there are as many as Jindan Daoist, not to mention those disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage.Fortunately, Luoshuizong previously stipulated a limit on the number of people participating in the Zongmen Grand Competition, otherwise it would really be impossible to count.

"After all, it only happens once in 50 years. Naturally, the scale is grand." Another Jindan elder said with emotion, and immediately called the disciples to disembark after the flying boat stabilized.

After all, he had no right to organize, so Xiao Ming quietly followed the other Jindan elders throughout the process, using himself as a moving backdrop.

Soon, a disciple of Luoshui Sect came up to welcome them, and led them to the place where they were staying with a gentle attitude.

After all, there were too many people, so Xiao Ming naturally didn't dare to enter the Lingxiao Palace to practice here, so he simply left the room out of boredom to pass the time casually.

The layout of the houses where the various sects live in the venue is similar to Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams, which coincides with Yin and Yang. The center is the courtyard dedicated to the members of the Luoshui Sect. The location is the best, and the atmosphere is peaceful, stable, quiet and quiet.Now, Xiao Ming has been moved to the courtyard belonging to the affiliated sect, looking at the bustling environment around him, he is actually quite novel.

Although they are also attached to Luoshuizong, the relationship between the sects may not be good.Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The affiliated sects are originally competitive, and there will inevitably be some friction and entanglements. It is okay to talk about each other, but now that they are all in the same courtyard, there will inevitably be some disputes.

In this regard, Luoshuizong will not take too much care, as long as there is no major incident that will affect the entire sect competition, then it will be tossing around with the affiliated sects under its banner. Even if it is accidentally tripped, it can only Speaking skills are not as good as people.

Along the way, Xiao Ming saw many similar frictions, but he didn't expect that his little apprentice would be involved as well.

For Lu Tianyu, Xiao Ming was not worried. After all, no matter whether it was magic weapons or scheming methods, his little apprentices were never inferior to others. Those who should be worried should be those who offended him.

Xiao Ming hid at the side leisurely, watching the scene where the little apprentice slapped his face, feeling quite happy.Seeing that Lu Tianyu unceremoniously taught the person who came to find fault, and then calmly accepted the adoring eyes of the rest of the Tianxuan sect disciples, Xiao Ming smiled slightly, and was about to leave when he heard a cold voice next to his ear: "Your apprentice is nothing more than that."

Xiao Ming was startled in horror, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xuan Yue standing beside him at some point, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Why did Xuan Yue come here, and even ran into the courtyard of the affiliated sect?Countless questions flashed through Xiao Ming's mind, but he smiled calmly and said, "Oh? Why did you say that?"

Xuan Yue: "Too many words."

Xiao Ming: "..."

Seeing Xiao Ming's speechless face, Xuan Yue slightly staggered his gaze: "There is too much nonsense, if someone blocks the way, just cut it off with one sword, there is no need to say more."

Xiao Ming looked at Xuan Yue, and couldn't help laughing: "You can't eat grapes, but you say grapes are sour, right? Tian Yu is flexible and can tell three points without reason, but you have always been clumsy in speaking, so you simply I'm too lazy to say anything."

Hearing Xiao Ming's ridicule, Xuan Yue couldn't help being astonished, and Xiao Ming was also a little stunned, as if he couldn't believe that he and Xuan Yue could still talk so peacefully.

Silenced by Xiao Ming for a moment, Xuan Yue pursed his lips and pondered for a long time before he found a new topic: "I have read the sword formula you gave me in detail and benefited a lot...Thank you."

Xiao Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more natural: "If I can help you, that's great, and I'm not in vain."

Xuan Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help looking at Xiao Ming's black and white eyes with a slight smile: "That sword formula has been lost for a long time and is extremely precious. I didn't expect...you would give it to me as a gift. Give me."

"No matter how precious it is, it is useless to me. As the saying goes, 'the sword is given to the hero', it can be of the greatest value in your hands." Xiao Ming's tone was relaxed, and then he smiled again, "Of course, I am too. If you have selfish intentions, if you accept my gift and forgive me for what I have done, that would be the best."

Xiao Ming's eyes were clear and calm, with a hint of expectation—but, it was not the kind of expectation that Xuan Yue wanted to see.Xuan Yue couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and lowered his gaze slightly: "I've already forgiven you, you... don't need to worry too much."

After receiving Xuan Yue's affirmative answer, Xiao Ming's weight was finally removed, and he couldn't help showing a somewhat relieved smile, and tentatively asked, "Then... from now on... can we be friends? "

Xuan Yue: "..."

Obviously wanting to say "no", but looking at Xiao Ming's cautious expression and eager eyes, Xuan Yue had no choice but to suppress the boredom in his chest, and nodded slightly: "Forget it."

Xiao Ming laughed, this was probably the most genuine smile Xuan Yue had ever seen, and it even made him feel better, so the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.

——Forget it, starting out as a friend seems... not bad?

Xiao Ming couldn't hide the joy and excitement in his heart when he and Xuanyue really turned hostility into jade silk. He subconsciously reached out, grabbed Xuanyue's wrist, and brought him behind the rockery. sword.

With Xuanyue, a venerable person in the transformation stage, Xiao Ming wasn't worried at all about others peeping with his divine sense, so naturally he didn't have to be cautious, and Xuanyue couldn't help but shine when he saw the sword.

The appearance of this sword is simple and unpretentious, as if it is just the most common product, but the sword intent hidden in it is really impressive.The long time has brewed a long and simple atmosphere like mellow wine, revealing the most essential charm after the lead has faded, pointing directly to the heart.

"I'm not a swordsman, and I don't know much about swords, but I can tell that this sword is extremely precious." Xiao Ming said, and suddenly realized that his movements were a bit excessive, and quickly let go of Xuan Yue's wrist.

He and Xuanyue have been together for a hundred years, and they used to be cautious because of conflicts, but now after the reconciliation, they brought out their previous habits in a moment of excitement, which is really a bit embarrassing.

Seeing that Xuan Yue didn't seem to mind this, Xiao Ming didn't bother to mention it either, and held the long sword in front of him with both hands, "Originally, I planned to find another chance if you couldn't understand that sword formula." I will give you this long sword, and now, treat it as a gift of reconciliation."

Xuan Yue raised his hand to caress the blade of the sword, paused, and looked at Xiao Ming rather subtly: "...how many things have you prepared?"

"...There are quite a lot of things, but these two are the best, and they should be your favorite." Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed, "I can't help you, I don't know how to make it up, except Apart from repaying with my life, I can only come up with such a method, I hope you...don't mind."

"...I don't mind." Xuan Yue was speechless for a moment, and his slender fingers touched the edge of the sword, causing the long sword to hum continuously as if it was connected with each other, but finally withdrew his hand, "I have a natal sword that is enough, You can keep this sword for self-defense. I just erased the spiritual consciousness left by the former owner, and you can make a contract with it."

"You don't want it?" Xiao Ming was slightly taken aback, looking at Xuan Yue in surprise.

Xuan Yue's slightly lowered gaze on his face became warm again, and his voice was soothing and soft: "I don't want it."

Xiao Ming bit his lip, feeling a little unwilling for some reason.

He has never been a generous person, and he has lived too hard, which has made him develop the habit of haggling over pennies and pennies, but when he needs to move people with things, he will not be stingy.Xiao Ming gave things to other people for the sake of favor; he gave things to Su Yu to seal his mouth; he gave things to Lu Tianyu because of his loyalty—he thought that he gave Xuan Yue things for the sake of the other party's understanding, but now his goal has been achieved , Xuan Yue also rejected his gift, but it made Xiao Ming a little dissatisfied.

Regarding his abnormal reaction, Xiao Ming didn't think much about it. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a bit of regret in his tone: "Really? That's really a pity. I'm not good at using swords, even if I sign a contract with this sword It's nothing more than leaving the sword dusty, it's better to give it to Tian Yu, after all, although he is a Dharma practitioner, he has a special liking for the sword—"

Before he finished speaking, the long sword in Xiao Ming's hand was snatched by Xuan Yue.Seeing the teasing smile in Xiao Ming's eyebrows, Xuan Yue's ears couldn't help getting hot again, and he didn't say anything at all, and put the long sword into the storage ring with his backhand.

It was too late, and found that the thin-skinned Xuan Yue was almost pushed to the limit, Xiao Ming naturally put it away, and moved the topic away from the long sword: "Speaking of it, why did you participate in this sect competition? Logically speaking, After becoming a god, you shouldn't be assigned such a task, right?"

Seeing Xiao Ming change the subject, Xuan Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips a little uncomfortably, and quickly said the excuse he had prepared a long time ago: "He is a disciple of senior brother. He wants to come here for some experience, and Senior brother happened to be in seclusion, so I took the place."

As soon as the words fell, Xuan Yue saw Xiao Ming's surprised eyes, and immediately realized how clumsy this excuse was.

"You're really... a lot more enthusiastic." After a long time, Xiao Ming found a more euphemistic way of saying-a disciple of a senior brother?Xuanyue always treats his senior brothers as nothing, okay?Xiao Ming really didn't know how the other party came up with such a reason.

Regarding Xiao Ming's subtle gaze, Xuan Yue could only conclude hastily with "exactly so".

Although he was a bit reluctant, Xuan Yue only felt that he had thrown away his helmet and armor in front of Xiao Ming and was in a mess. He had to excuse that "the Luoshui Sect has something to do" and wanted to leave first, but just after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, Immediately turn back.

"This is a gift in return." Saying so, Xuan Yue also stuffed a sword into Xiao Ming's hand, and disappeared in an instant, while Xiao Ming stared blankly at the sword-shaped magic weapon in his hand, lost in thought.

——This sword is exactly the magic weapon that Xuan Yue personally refined to celebrate his alchemy. Xiao Ming originally thought that it should have been destroyed by the other party in a fit of anger...

The hand holding the long sword tightened, and Xiao Ming's mind was full of chaos, which finally turned into a shallow sigh.
