When the gin knocks on the door

Chapter 4 Lingshi Pavilion

Three poles in the sun.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going in the Lingshi Pavilion. This is the place where Tiansang Linggong handles all kinds of trivial matters for the disciples in the outer courtyard.

"Hello, brother."

"Hello, Senior Brother Xu."

"Senior brother early... uh, good afternoon?"

Xu Xiaoshou walked all the way with his sword on his back, some people he knew and some strangers, anyway, he was old, so he didn't need to call anyone, he just nodded.

Entering the Lingshi Pavilion is like entering a vegetable market, full of people.

Most of the people here have come to sign up for "Wind and Cloud Hegemony". After all, if they don't sign up, they will be regarded as abstentions.

And abstain for three years, kick the palace, of course, even kneeling for three years.

A very small number of people did not want to lose face in the competition, so they came directly to apply to be a deacon in the secular world, and waited to die.

The one hundred and eight director's mouths were basically occupied, Xu Xiaoshou went straight to the first director's mouth, and there was no one here.

"really!"

In my memory, the other council members were some well-qualified disciples from the Outer Court who were handling affairs. There was only one council member's portal, which was managed by the elders of Lingshi Pavilion who moved in.

This elder Qiao, everything is good, just three sentences without leaving the training, so the others would rather queue up than provoke him.

Xu Xiaoshou had a very good relationship with this elder, mainly because his potential had run out, and Elder Qiao was too lazy to train him.

After all, this is a man who has tried his best, but still can't break through the four realms.

Entering the door, Elder Qiao was dozing off, Xu Xiaoshou quietly walked over, his knuckles clasped the table vigorously, "Wake up!"

Lying on his back on the back of the seat, Elder Qiao, whose lips were slightly open, was startled. He slapped the corner of his mouth without wiping the saliva. Xu Xiaoshou dexterously lowered his body and avoided it, "Small sample!"

"It's Xiaoshou... um, Xu Xiaoshou?"

When Elder Qiao saw the person coming, he suddenly lost sleep and looked surprised, "Aren't you in seclusion? Didn't you die?"

Xu Xiaoshou dropped a few black lines on his forehead. I can't break through if I dare to be affectionate, right? Do you have to be a corpse to meet your old expectations?

"Dead, cheating!" He said angrily.

Elder Qiao smiled embarrassingly, pointed to the people outside and said, "Are you also going to leave here and become a deacon outside?"

"What kind of deacon, isn't it in the top ten on the Billboard?" Xu Xiaoshou retorted.

"Just you?" Elder Qiao suddenly burst into laughter, his body shaking violently.

He was really bored in the outer courtyard, so Xu Xiaoshou dared to talk to him like this, and only in front of Xu Xiaoshou would he put down some airs and smile arrogantly.

"Taunted, passive, +1."

ridicule?

A new continent has opened!
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled, it seemed that it was just like what he thought, as long as he was passive enough, the passive value would continue to flow.

"What? Don't believe that I have finished closing the deadlock and my strength has improved?"

Elder Qiao was wiping his saliva with a tissue. After wiping, he picked up the cup to rinse his mouth, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

"Suspected, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiao was delighted, he continued to flick his sleeve robe, and said with a serious expression: "To tell you the truth, I, Xu, have already broken through the innate!"

"Pfft!" Elder Qiao spat out a mouthful of water.

Looking at Xu Xiaoshou's serious expression, he couldn't hold back any longer, and the demonic laughter echoed throughout the Lingshi Pavilion, "Hip-hop, hi-hi..."

"I can't do it, Xu Xiaoshou, this expression...you're so funny." He wiped his tears with a tissue to wipe his saliva.

"Praised, passive, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

praise?

God is so praised, this is sarcasm, brother, this system is poisonous, I feel that you are creating something out of nothing!

Outside, the disciples who were pierced by the magic sound also craned their necks to look over, trying to find out.

"Fuck, whose laughter is so magical!"

"Be quiet, you don't know Elder Qiao's laughter, do you want to be trained?"

"Who is so arrogant to amuse Elder Qiao?"

"I don't know, see?"

These guys are curious, and the queue is not lined up. Anyway, it is not illegal to commit crimes in groups, so one by one, they came to the door of the No. [-] board of directors.

"Uh... is it Xu Xiaoshou? Isn't he in seclusion?"

"Wow, your news is well-informed, I heard that he has broken through the four borders!"

"Tsk tsk, you're not too bad, I heard that he went to the Five Realms yesterday."

"Nonsense, I heard that it is the Seven Realms."

"Eight realms!"

"He just said in it that he was born..."

As the last weak voice fell, the whole room was silent, and the onlookers looked sideways, looking at the speaker, "I believe in you!"

When Elder Qiao saw a group of people at the door, his head suddenly froze. Realizing that his laughter was causing this wave of onlookers, he immediately walked out of the room and shouted, "What are you looking at? Report your names!"

"Hey, Elder Qiao calm down, calm down!" Everyone waved their hands hurriedly, like birds and beasts scattered.

Inside, Xu Xiaoshou was overjoyed with his head in his arms. He looked at the constantly updated news in the information bar:
"Suspected, passive value, +42."

"Suspected, passive value, +31."

"Suspected, passive value, +16."

"Suspected, passive value, +3."

There are about a few hundred people in the Lingshi Pavilion, and there are dozens of onlookers. Elder Qiao's passive value harvested by a wave of laughter is more than what he had added up before.

This first wave of passive values ​​should be issued by the onlookers, followed by the transmission of information, or the second wave of doubts?
Xu Xiaoshou found that this passive value seems to be given at most a little per person at a time. To get more at once, there is only one condition:
Lots of people!

He imagined that if he shouted "I'm a congenital master" in a crowd of [-] people, would he have [-] passive points in an instant?
Well, it is also possible to be beaten to death as a lunatic, although it seems that it is true when he said it.

"What are you giggling?" Elder Qiao closed the door and sat back in his exclusive seat.

"No!"

Xu Xiaoshou returned to the divine way: "I forgot to say serious things, but I came to sign up for 'Wind and Cloud Contest'."

"Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

Elder Qiao took out a cyan token from the drawer while speaking, and entered the information against his forehead.

Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes, as expected, he still didn't believe in himself, I'm really good at birth, what a shame!

He sighed, there is no way, the life of a genius is accompanied by criticism and doubts.

"The Four Realms of Spirit Refining?" Elder Qiao asked.

Xu Xiaoshou thought about it, decided not to struggle anymore, and nodded.

"Give!"

Taking Elder Qiao's cyan token, Xu Xiaoshou put it on his forehead, and quickly read out the information inside:

Xu Xiaoshou, Four Realms of Refinement, Group 12, No. 1130.

More than 1000 people...

Although he had expected it, Xu Xiaoshou was still speechless.

Every year, there are thousands of contestants in the "Wind and Cloud Hegemony". No matter if you are practicing in the outer courtyard for one year, two years, or three years, as long as you are a disciple of the outer courtyard, you must participate.

The last person in the ranking, after the decision of the elders in the spiritual palace, if they do not perform well, they will usually be sent away directly.

Elder Qiao contributed greatly to Xu Xiaoshou's ability to stay until now.

But it can be saved for a while, but not for a lifetime. If he is last for three consecutive years, Elder Qiao alone is destined to be unable to save him.

However, these seem to be no longer a problem!
Xu Xiaoshou put away the token, raised his eyebrows at Elder Qiao, and then rubbed his hands, "Elder Qiao, where is my spirit crystal..."

The first purpose of his coming here was to sign up, and the second purpose was naturally to get back the cultivation allowance that belonged to him.

Counting the two months before and after, he had [-] spirit crystals stored here and didn't take it. Since he bought "Hang Ku", he was penniless. Although there were not many [-], but mosquito meat was also meat, right?
"You're smart kid!"

Elder Qiao scolded with a smile, counted twenty spirit crystals from the drawer, and with a flick of his hand, another pill bottle appeared and placed on the table together.

"This is..." Xu Xiaoshou was surprised. The people who can serve in the Lingshi Pavilion are so famous, let alone Elder Qiao, why would they give him an extra bottle of medicinal herbs?

"Private funding, don't talk about it!"

Elder Qiao said sternly, pushed the Lingjing and the pill bottle over, and his expression suddenly became melancholy, "I can't say that I won't see you in the future..."

Xu Xiaoshou's heart warmed, and he hurriedly put away the things, hehe smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I get kicked out of Tiansang Ling Palace, I will come back to see you!"

"Ah!"

Elder Qiao was happy, "Can you come in?"

"Anna, I can't kick it out."

"hope so!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoshou walking out of the Lingshi Pavilion happily, Elder Qiao closed his eyes with melancholy, frowned and muttered: "I didn't expect this kid to break through, it's amazing."

"Fortunately, he shouldn't know about selling his intelligence, this medicinal pill is also considered compensation..."

He crossed his fingers, "Well, ten times the profit, this wave is not a loss!"
