During this period, Ding Rulan would go to the reed swamps downstream of Qinshui every day to practice. The roaring sound of thunderstorms from time to time could be described as deafening. However, the strange thing is that no other monks in this generation have come to disturb her.
However, what makes Ding Rulan a little disappointed is that the senior master who once taught her the thunder power of the palm has never appeared. This makes her always want to ask for help in vain. Whenever she thinks of the senior's unpredictable temperament, , Ding Rulan couldn't help but secretly speculate that the senior's true cultivation level was probably at least a late-stage warrior monk, or even a Dzogchen monk. Maybe that senior was a monk from the Yang family.
Although Ding Rulan had long thought that the senior might not appear again after teaching her the thunder power of his palm, she still took it as a precaution, not to mention that she had become accustomed to being among the reeds during this period of time. Figure out and practice alone.
Ding Rulan was extremely disappointed with her defeat in the fourth round of the elite competition yesterday. Although her performance was amazing enough, Ma Yu did not make any sarcastic remarks when he saw her last night. Instead, his expression was full of admiration and he was very fond of her. She comforted her and said that she had received news from Wilderness Town and that Zhenshou Yang was satisfied with her results.
At the same time, Ma Yu also brought another news. It is said that when Tang Wei, a fellow countryman, was assisting in refining weapons in the county, he was appreciated by a Yang family's weapon refiner and was unexpectedly absorbed into the Yang family's weapon refining hall. It is said that as long as he can If you refine a qualified magic weapon within a year, you will be able to enjoy the treatment of an elite disciple.
However, this does not make Ding Rulan feel less disappointed. In the past few days, she has participated in the competition and got to know some of the Yang family's disciples. She knows that the elite disciples of the Yang family can receive enviable treatment. In fact, nothing else. To put it simply, the rich and intoxicating spiritual energy in Xishan Village can make Ding Rulan confident that she will be able to reach the realm of evil spirits within half a year. What's more, I heard that elite disciples are still qualified to enter Xishan retreat for a period of time every year. The spiritual power there is even stronger than that of Xishan Village.
Although the six eliminated monks are still qualified to compete for the two elite disciple places, Ding Rulan is already a little less confident at this time. In fact, when the elite competition reaches the fourth round, except for Chi Feifei's one, The gap in cultivation strength among the remaining monks is already very small, and at this time, a little external force is often the key to determining the outcome of each other. For example, the Yang family's disciples often have magical weapons in their hands.
Ding Rulan entered the reed marsh with some thoughts, but a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears: "A monk should at least maintain due vigilance at all times. You have just been in a state of despair. If you encounter a monk from outside the territory, you may not even be a warrior." No one can kill you!"
Ding Rulan's heart trembled, but her expression turned joyful: "Senior!"
Yang Junshan stood in the middle of the reeds, looked at Ding Rulan with a hint of disappointment, and said, "Why, yesterday's defeat has made you lose confidence?"
Ding Rulan did not dare to argue, she lowered her head slightly and said, "Senior, do you already know? Several Yang family disciples have magic weapons in their hands, and although I have mastered the thunder power in my palm, the preparation time when I use it is Tai Chang, this weakness has been discovered. That Feng Yuankun took advantage of this and attacked as soon as he came up. He was a Fengxing monk, and his speed was originally strange. The junior didn't even have time to use the palm thunder, and the others The monks will definitely be like this in the next battle. The junior has been thinking hard for a long time but has not found a way to solve it, so he is a little disappointed. "
Yang Junshan nodded slightly when he heard the words and said: "It's true. Although the power of the thunder in the palm is not weak, your cultivation is not enough, and you only have more than ten days. How can you master it?" It¡¯s beyond my expectation.¡±
"However, it is not necessarily true that you will not be able to fight next!"
Ding Rulan was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly bowed her hands in front of her: "Senior, please give me some advice!"
"There is definitely something wrong with this Ding Rulan. Her progress is too fast, and the signs of progress are too obvious. In just over ten days, her performance is simply amazing!"
Yang Tianxue was at home exchanging views on this elite competition with Brother Six.
Yang Tianlin smiled and said: "Maybe it's this Ding Rulan who is a genius!"
Although Yang Tianlin is a loyal man, he has been in charge of the Yang family's money and food distribution for many years. He is used to intrigues and intrigues, and his mind is naturally not bad. Eleventh sister definitely has something to do when she came to him today, so he just perfunctoryly thought about it. We need to see what Eleventh Sister is planning.
Yang Tianxue sneered and said: "No matter how talented a monk is, he must make progress through a step-by-step process, isn't it? When Ding Rulan was in Wilderness Town before, I also asked about it from Brother Tiezhu, although it was also a bitIt's of high quality, but it's not to the point of being unparalleled yet. How can it be that the cultivation strength of an elite Dabi is jumping step by step? There is definitely something wrong with this! "
Eleventh sister was indeed prepared, and there was no way that she would only find herself. Yang Tianlin also heard that one of her grandsons was eliminated in the third round of the competition, and he was slightly moved. Could it be that Ding Rulan was eliminated? He married her grandson-in-law, so he tried every possible means to take Ding Rulan's place?
Thinking about the precedent of Chi Feifei replacing Liu Lichang in the fourth round, Yang Tianlin suddenly realized that Eleventh Sister might have had the same idea. Although Ding Rulan had been eliminated in the fourth round, she still had a chance to compete for elite disciples.
Even if her grandson does not win the elite disciple spot in the end, the monthly payment for ordinary disciples among the Yang family will be divided into levels according to their performance. Entering the third round and entering the fourth round are two different concepts, and the latter is Tuotuo's quasi-elite disciples must be trained in the future.
Yang Tianxue seemed to understand what Yang Tianlin was thinking, and said directly: "Sixth brother, it's not that the younger sister has taken a fancy to the position of this quasi-elite disciple, but that there is something wrong with Ding Rulan!"
"It's just that her cultivation strength has increased strangely. The key is that this little girl has to go out to practice every day during the day. Do you think about how strong our spiritual power is in Xishan Village now? After those local children come, they can't wait to practice every day. They are all practicing hard in such an environment. What is the reason why this country girl would rather give up this rare opportunity to practice and go to practice outside Xishan Village? "
Yang Tianxue saw that Yang Tianlin was thoughtful, and knew that her words had shaken him a little, so she pondered for a moment and continued: "Little sister, I once secretly sent a disciple to follow this Ding Rulan"
Seeing Yang Tianlin raise his eyes to look at her but not saying anything, Yang Tianxue felt happy and said, "I found that this little girl walked downstream along the Qinshui River for more than ten miles and disappeared after entering a reed swamp. I can't find any traces. Sixth brother, do you think this is weird? After all, Liu Lichang has learned from his past experience. There is no guarantee that there is no other person behind that girl!"
Yang Tianlin was obviously moved by Yang Tianxue, especially the last reason. He pondered for a moment and said: "The six quasi-elite disciples who will be eliminated in the fourth round tomorrow will compete for the two elite disciple spots. There is no time, so Well, no matter whether Ding Rulan can get a spot as an elite disciple, I will send someone to test it out. If there is indeed a problem with this person, then I will support Qin Yan as a substitute. "
Seeing Yang Tianxue¡¯s face beaming with joy, Yang Tianlin added: ¡°Let¡¯s make an agreement first. Even if Ding Rulan can get the elite disciple spot, Qinyan won¡¯t even think about it. At most, she can get quasi-elite treatment.¡±
The joy on Yang Tianxue¡¯s face faltered slightly when she heard this, but in the end she nodded slowly.
After Yang Tianxue left, Yang Juncheng walked out of the corner behind his father and said, "Father, Aunt Eleven must be looking for more than just you."
Yang Tianlin laughed when he heard this: "Of course it's impossible, and I'm afraid they are targeting not only Ding Rulan, but also the female cultivator named Chi Feifei. Why did Liu Lichang make it all the way to the fourth round? Chi Feifei, who was eliminated in the third round, was replaced. The monks who were eliminated by him in the first and second rounds were not necessarily weaker than Chi Feifei. They were just unlucky enough to meet Liu Lichang early. Liu Lichang's cultivation level Everyone saw at that time that Qin Lang, a core disciple, was at a disadvantage compared to his cultivation in the late stage of the warrior realm."
Yang Juncheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then should father report these things to the head of the family, or inform Junping?"
Yang Tianlin shook his head, seeming to be sighing and mumbling to himself, and said: "In the realm of real people, cultivation and vision may make everything transcendent. Your third uncle's family may not even bother to pay attention to these intrigues in the family. Take a look, but our room has to worry about the feelings of our relatives. Do you think your eleventh aunt, your second uncle, fifth aunt, and eleventh aunt can handle this matter? Let me talk to Jun Ping? It's very simple, but what will other clan members think of our family in the future? This may be the shortcomings of the family, and it is also the fundamental reason why your third uncle and others insist on absorbing elites with foreign surnames. "
As soon as Yang Junshan returned to his family, he received news that shocked him. His twin nephews, Yang Junping's children, were missing!
"What's going on?"
Yang Junshan found Yang Junping and asked him straight away, he didn't believe that anyone could sneak into Xishan Village without his perception, not even the Taoist Realm ancestor, unless he was a formation master who had mastered the art of stealing formations!
Yang Junping's eyes were red at this time: "I don't know, these two children have been mysteriously going out early and coming back late. I didn't pay attention to it because of my busy schedule recently."But since the two children left the day before yesterday, they have not been seen for three days and two nights. I have asked many people in the village and they have not seen them in the past few days. "
Yang Junshan's mind moved. Through the entire Five Elements Thunder and Light Formation network, he could easily control all the situations inside Xishan Village. As expected, no trace of the two children was found anywhere else, except for one place.
"Follow me!"
Yang Junshan said hello, and Yang Junping quickly followed. The two of them were like lightning. After a while, they arrived at the door of an independent courtyard without disturbing anyone.
"here¡¡"
Yang Junping looked at Yang Junshan with some surprise and uncertainty.
Yang Junshan was about to knock on the door, but the door of the courtyard suddenly opened without any sound. Real Xia Yuan stood at the door and put her finger in front of her mouth: "Shh, be quiet!"
