cannon fodder

Tianqi Mountain, in front of a nameless and dilapidated stone pavilion, gathered a large number of cultivators from Liushenmen, Xiangzimen, and Zhuxiaomen. The most eye-catching were the young men and women in different clothes. It seemed that something very interesting was about to be faced, and in front of these people, several people dressed in the costumes of disciples of the Xiangzi sect were fiddling with a complex formation.

Xiangzimen is mainly famous for alchemy in Tianqi Mountain, and also dabbles in other messy miscellaneous sciences such as talisman-making formations, so this time the formations are mainly entrusted to Xiangzimen.

On the bluestone path next to the stone pavilion stood a few dignified old men. Although their eyes were not on the magic circle, their spiritual consciousness always swept across it intentionally or unintentionally. The materials for the magic circle this time were jointly funded by the three companies Yes, but they have failed once just now, which made them feel really bad, and they don't understand why the senior brothers spend resources doing things that seem meaningless to them. The array materials that are spent can be cultivated There are a few disciples in the foundation building period, and the qualifications to recruit disciples from the secular world are not worth paying such a price at all.

An old man with a cold face and frosty eyebrows suddenly looked at one of the young men and women. The young man seemed a little unhappy in the crowd, but now he felt the old man's gaze, and his face instantly turned pale.

This young man is named Han Jinyu, and he is a child of a small family in Tianqi Mountain. He only joined Zhu Xiaomeng three years ago. His aptitude is not very good, but he is much better than ordinary disciples. His life should be Ordinary, practice hard, revitalize the family, but a few months ago, Ke Jiu, the son of the elder Ke Qiu, fell in love with him and wanted Han Jinhe to be his weekend partner.

Tianshan, the world of cultivators, each of them longs for and worships power, and women are much weaker than men in terms of aptitude and cultivation concentration, so male and male cultivators naturally come into being. , such a relationship is not common, but it is also recognized.

Although there are quite a few elders chasing the small door, and all of them are in the alchemy stage, there is only one person like Keqiu who is in the late stage of alchemy. It is not a shame to be the "daughter-in-law" of such a person thing, but this Kejiu is not a good person,

Before Han Jinyu, there were no less than ten men and women he had his eyes on, but none of them had a good end, as long as he was tired of them, he would immediately use them as cauldrons without mercy.There is only a dead end to follow such a person, how could Han Jinyu be willing!

But he has no right to refuse. His master, the cold-faced old man in the early stage of alchemy, directly agreed to this marriage in order to make friends with Keqiu. On this trip to the secular world, he must find a way out. Law!

At this moment, a disciple of the Xiangzi Sect excitedly looked at his master, a fat man with a kind face, and said joyfully, "Master, the teleportation formation is completed!"

……

In the main hall, the emperor sits majestically on the dragon chair. He has a dignified complexion. He wears a twelve-stripe crown and a twelve-pronged crown. The number of chapters on the crown is the symbol of the Nancang Kingdom. Show clothes, this is the dress that will only be worn at important ceremonies.

The emperor's first place is Zheng Taishi, the favorite minister of the court. Because of that incident, Feng Jin inexplicably felt a strange feeling when he saw the emperor and Zheng Taishi.

Standing in the center of the hall was a young man about the same age as Feng Jin. Feng Jin knew quite a few. Li Qing was the leader, followed by Li Luo, followed by Zheng Qiuqin, the eldest son of the Zheng family, and Zheng Yi, a subsidiary of the Zheng family. Wei Qing from the Qin family, Qin Xiu from the Qin family, Miao Xi from the Miao family, Bai Moxian from the Bai family, Zhou Luying from the Zhou family, and Feng Jin from the Feng family.

It stands to reason that Feng Jin is in the main hall, and his identity and appearance are very ordinary, but the strange thing is that most people's eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, which made Li Luo very upset, and stared viciously. Zheng Qiuqin and Bai Moxian glanced at each other, but even Zhou Luying and Qin Xiu didn't miss it.

It's no wonder that Li Luo is so nervous. In his eyes, Feng Jin is getting more and more beautiful and attractive, so he is naturally afraid that others will steal his treasure.

Bai Moxian turned a blind eye to Li Luo's stare, and instead smiled at Feng Jin.

Feng Jin replied with a natural smile. He was grateful to Bai Moxian. The two became business partners because of the matter of Bai Tang, and became good friends because of the matter of Xingning. The search for Xingning in a short period of time was entirely thanks to Bai Moxian's help.

Not long after, the door of the main hall was opened again, and a square-faced man of about 30 years old walked in. The actual age of this man was actually close to 50 years old. I am afraid that he was the only one who could make the emperor and his officials wait so long. ——Qiu Ming of the Qiu family, the national weapon of Nancang Kingdom.

Now that everyone was here, the emperor began to speak, but everyone could tell that his complexion was not good.

"Zheng called all his lovers here this time mainly for the matter of Tianshan. Zheng received a letter from Tianshan yesterday, saying that he hoped that the candidates who will lead to Tianshan this time can pass their trials."

When the emperor said this, his eyes paused on Li Luo, and he continued: "So whether you can reach Tianshan this time depends on your own ability. But before Tianshan comes, I will send Qiu Guoshi to teach you. for"

……

The so-called teaching was very tasteless to Feng Jin. After retreating from the court that day, only ten of them were left behind, and the national teacher Qiu Mingqiu checked their pulse one by one.

"Well... that's right, I have already reached the fourth level of cultivation. If the crown prince devotes himself to cultivating in Tianshan, he will be able to learn something." Qiu Mingqiu Guoshi said with a look of relief. After all, the crown prince can advance to the fourth level in such a short period of time. Layer, his teaching is very important, so it is rare for him to be in a very good mood.

After hearing this, Zheng Qiuqin and Feng Jin, who knew the inside story, still stood there expressionless, while Li Luo's eyes flashed a bright light, as for the others, they looked at the emperor with admiration. Prince.

Qiu Ming then walked in front of Li Luo again, put his hand on his wrist, suddenly his expression changed, and he said in disbelief: "The third prince is also a fourth-level cultivation?"

As soon as Qiu Ming said this, everyone's eyes were on him, and even Li Qing couldn't help but start to look at his humble younger brother.

Although Feng Jin was ready, she still looked at Li Luo worriedly.

Li Luo was expressionless, and said lightly: "Yes."

There is no way to conceal one's cultivation in front of people with higher cultivation than oneself, so Li Luo does not intend to conceal it.

Qiu Mingqiu Guoshi was also surprised at the beginning, and then put away his expression and continued to check, but the others were different, and continued to look at Li Luo with a strange look, especially Zheng Yi, who looked at Li Luo with a strange look. He made no secret of his jealousy.

The next seven people are Zheng Qiuqin at the late stage of the third floor, Zheng Yi at the beginning of the second floor, Wei Qing at the middle stage of the second floor, and Qin Xiu at the middle stage of the second floor. Miao Xi has no aura fluctuations, Bai Moxian has no aura fluctuations, and Zhou Luying has no aura fluctuations.

For those without aura fluctuations, Master Qiu Ming asked them to give up the trial directly. Bai Moxian's expression was fine, but Miao Xi burst into tears. Although the other party was a girl, Master Qiu still frowned and made people laugh. She threw it out, but Bai Moxian left consciously, and then Qiu Guoshi continued to check.

When Qiu Guoshi inspected Feng Jin, he first showed a trace of doubt, then looked at Feng Jin with pity, and said slowly: "The early stage of the second floor."

Feng Jin is a bit inexplicable. It stands to reason that there are three people in the middle stage of the second floor, and there is Zhou Luying who is at the bottom, not to mention two people who have no spiritual roots. Then why does Guoshi Qiu look at him with such eyes?

"One month later, the Tianshan Trial, the crown prince, the third prince, and Zheng Qiuqin, you three will go to participate in the trial of the Chasing Child Sect. This sect has its own uniqueness in terms of exercises, and the disciples in the sect are also very good at practicing. Manufacture various magic tools of the same level, but the martial arts of this sect are more difficult, and the requirements for qualifications are very high. The sect is the one that recruits the fewest disciples among the three sects. The three of you can try the trial of this sect, as for you..."

Qiu Guoshi pointed to Zheng Yi, Wei Qing, and Qin Xiu and said, "You guys are going to participate in the trial of Liushenmen in a month. This school is very good at controlling swords. There are all kinds of magic weapons and magic weapons. Its sect's unique technique "Six Gods Sword Art" is famous in Tianqi Mountain, and it is extremely sharp. The martial arts of this sect don't have any special requirements for spiritual roots, and the three of you have ordinary martial arts, so you can give it a try!"

Qiu Guoshi turned his attention to Feng Jin and Zhou Luying again: "The two of you have poor skills, it seems that you can only go to Xiangzimen to try your luck. The first two sects are inferior, but they are quite famous in the art of alchemy. It is also a good choice to pass by luck."

As soon as Qiu Guoshi said this, a few people looked at Feng Jin with weird eyes, thinking that Feng Jin must have offended Qiu Guoshi, otherwise, they were all three people in the early stage of the second floor, why was he the only one who was sent to the worst Xiangzi? Door.

The party involved, Feng Jin, was also a little puzzled, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, but a deep voice came from her ear: "Boy, I just arranged for you because you are more pleasing to the eye. When I was feeling your pulse just now, Faintly found that your spiritual root is a fake spiritual root, which is only slightly better than those without spiritual roots. With your aptitude, it is very difficult to be selected into Tianshan. As for why you can cultivate to the early stage of the second floor, I don’t know. If you ask, do it yourself!"

Hearing this, Feng Jin's heart sank, and his expression froze. He knew about fake spiritual roots. In Tianshan Mountain, fake spiritual roots are almost the existence of ordinary people, but they have a little more ability to sense spiritual power than ordinary people. It is almost impossible for people with fake spiritual roots!

Seeing Feng Jin's complexion changed drastically, Li Luo was very worried, but before he came and asked anything, he was taken out of the palace by Qiu Guoshi. Although he didn't want to leave, his will could not disobey Qiu Guoshi's order .

And when Feng Jin came back to her senses, there was only Zhou Luying with a bad look left beside her. The other party handed Feng Jin a small bottle with resentful eyes, and Feng Jin forgot to go back in confusion.

"This is left by Master Qiu, let us practice on our own, as for the others, they were taken away by Grand Master Qiu!"
