Fairy Desire

A middle-aged man in red clothes held up a fiery red gourd and took a big sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, looked at Meng Xiang with slightly drunk eyes, and said, "So, Meng Xiang, you You came to my Lieyang Peak just to get the follow-up technique of "Suzaku Vulcan Kung Fu?"

"Yes." Meng Xiang looked straight into the middle-aged man's eyes with a calm expression.

Meng Xiang has been worshiping Lieyang Peak of the Five Elements Sect for three months, but this is the first time he has met his nominal master, the actual host of Lieyang Peak—Qin Luochuan.

Naturally, Qin Luochuan is not the highest seniority in the entire Lieyang Peak, the highest seniority is Qin Luochuan's master, that is, Meng Xiang's master Huolong Zhenren - Cao Dabing.However, he has been in seclusion, and the specific affairs of Lieyang Peak are basically presided over by Qin Luochuan.

However, according to Bai Zhanpeng, Lieyang Peak also has a Supreme Elder whose seniority is higher than Cao Dabing, but most people on Lieyang Peak think that he does not exist, because no one has seen him for hundreds of years.

On Lieyang Peak, there is another person of the same generation as Cao Dabing, who is his younger brother, named Cao Dayan.However, because he was obsessed with refining weapons, he didn't have a formal apprentice except for a named disciple who was responsible for helping him.

Cao Dabing himself took in four apprentices, but apart from Qin Luochuan and another apprentice named Hua Jiu, the other two, one died, and the other traveled abroad and hadn't returned for many years. There were rumors that he It's gone, but no one knows for sure.

Cao Dabing's dead apprentice was An Yuanqing, the youngest of his four apprentices, leaving only one apprentice named Lu Xiaochuan, who was obsessed with spells and often locked himself in a secret room for ten days and a half months Didn't even see him once.

The apprentice who likes to wander and is rumored to have disappeared is called Qin You, the third child.Because of his dissociative nature, he spent very little time in Lieyang Peak, so he didn't accept apprentices.

The remaining Hua Jiu is the eldest of the four apprentices, but he is also an idiot, has a deep liking for alchemy, and almost spends most of his time in the alchemy room.He took in a pair of twin apprentices - Huaan Huaquan.However, they also seemed to be infected by his master, and spent most of their time with their master in the alchemy room, except for collecting various alchemy materials, they rarely showed up.

The second apprentice, Qin Luochuan, was not like his senior brothers, he was normal and willing to accept apprentices, but he had to take care of the affairs of the entire Lieyang Peak, so he was very busy, so he didn't have many apprentices.If you don't count Meng Xiang, there are only three in total.

Bai Zhanpeng is his third apprentice.The big apprentice is called Li Yi, and he is not on the mountain. He has gone out to prepare Lingshi.The second apprentice is called Zhang Heng, and he is also outside. He is going to do the tasks issued by the sect, and he is going to exchange some contributions from the sect.

After understanding the composition of Lieyang Peak's entire staff and their respective personalities, Meng Xiang finally understood why Lieyang Peak declined. Either it was a weirdo obsessed with various things, or a master who ran around with his picks. There were almost no normal people, and people Ding is so few, it shouldn't be in decline.

Of course, the decline of Lieyang Peak is also related to the way the Five Elements Sect allocates resources. In fact, this is also the way most fairy sects in the tree world allocate resources.

Every once in a while, there will be a big competition between the five peaks.This is of course meant to test the cultivation of the disciples of each peak, but the more important thing is to determine the resource allocation within the sect.If they can achieve good results in the big competition, before the next big competition, the mountain they are on can be allocated more resources, and vice versa.

Because Lieyang Peak has few disciples and the strength is not very strong, the results of each big competition are not ideal, so naturally there are very few resources that can be allocated, and a lot of resources are needed to improve strength and recruit disciples of.

If the strength is weak and there are few disciples, if you can't get good grades, you will get few resources, and if you have few resources, you can't improve your strength and recruit more disciples, but you can't improve your strength quickly, and you can't get good grades if you expand your disciples... Lieyang Peak formed a vicious circle, which caused Lieyang Peak to become weaker and weaker.

Of course, it depends on human effort, if Lieyang Peak can produce one or two stunning genius disciples, and get the top three in the competition, the resource quota that Lieyan Peak can obtain will not be small.

But the problem is that the other four peaks are not willing to give it a strong chance, as long as there are good seedlings, they will fight desperately, and those good seedlings are not fools.After knowing the actual situation of each peak, they were naturally unwilling to choose Raging Flame Peak, which could be seen to have no future at a glance.

Qin Luochuan looked at the new disciple in front of him who was about to worship under his name. For some reason, his heart suddenly moved. He had a premonition for no reason. It seemed that Meng Xiang would bring some changes to Lieyang Peak.

Taking another sip of wine, Qin Luochuan said, "Meng Xiang, can you tell me how many previous exercises you have obtained in "Suzaku Vulcan Art?"

Because he looked straight into Qin Luochuan's eyes, Meng Xiang saw something that he wanted to hide. Although he tried his best to appear calm, he still found that he seemed nervous.

Does my answer matter?However, Meng Xiang didn't waste much time on this question, and gave the answer very simply: "Reporting to Senior Qin, I have obtained the first three levels of the "Suzaku Vulcan Kungfu" in total."

"What? The first three levels?" Qin Luochuan stood up all of a sudden, and didn't notice that the wine in the red wine gourd had flowed out.

Why did Qin Luochuan have such a reaction?Is there something wrong with my answer?Meng Xiang's thoughts turned suddenly, but he still made a puzzled look: "Senior Qin, did I say something wrong?"

"No, no." Qin Luochuan seemed to realize his gaffe, restrained his expression, and straightened the wine gourd, "Meng Xiang, you... can you tell me how you obtained the "Suzaku Vulcan Art" of?"

Naturally, Meng Xiang couldn't tell the truth, but he had already thought up his excuse: "I was young at that time, and once I went fishing in the river, I found a small red stone, and I brought it back." Then, he said Describe the appearance and characteristics of the jade pupil slip that records "Suzaku Vulcan Art".

"In the river? Meng Xiang, do you remember what river it is?"

"Qingyuan River."

"Qingyuan River?" Qin Luochuan frowned and thought for a while, but his face soon showed a puzzled expression, "I remember almost all the famous rivers, why can't I remember where this Qingyuan River is? What about one?"

Qin Luochuan turned his head, looked at Bai Zhanpeng, and asked, "Zhanpeng, have you heard of Qingyuan River?"

"I don't know." Bai Zhanpeng shook his head as expected, "Master, I think you may have misunderstood. The Qingyuan River mentioned by Brother Meng may not be a famous river. Am I talking about it, Brother Meng?"

"Brother Bai, you are right. The Qingyuan River is just a small river next to our village. It is less than two feet wide, and it only has water in summer, and it will dry up in winter. But in our village, it was destroyed by the tide of beasts. Before that, it had been filled by mudslides that erupted in the summer of one year."

"Oh, that's right." Qin Luochuan nodded, then hesitated, "Meng Xiang, can you show me the jade pupil Jane that records "Suzaku Vulcan Art"?"

"Jade Tong Jian? Senior Qin, is this what you're talking about?" Meng Xiang deliberately pretended not to know Yu Tong Jian, while he took out the Yu Tong Jian from his bosom with some uncertainty and handed it over.

"This is..." When Qin Luochuan saw the appearance of Yutong Jian, his whole body was shocked, and he reached out to pick it up, but found that he was still holding the wine gourd in his hand. He shook his hand, but luckily threw it aside.

At this time, Bai Zhanpeng, who was standing aside, also noticed the abnormality of the master. You must know that the wine gourd in his hand is his treasure, even if he is his apprentice, he should not take it casually.

Now he actually threw it aside in order to take the jade pupil slip. Is there anything special about that jade pupil slip?If this is the case, isn't this big brother Meng who is holding the jade pupil slip also famous?So what's the secret about him?Yes or no……

Just as Bai Zhanpeng was thinking wildly, Qin Luochuan jumped up from the chair again, his face was flushed with excitement, and after he hurriedly said "you wait for me", it turned into a red light and flew out of the window, disappearing. .

Although Meng Xiang knew that the problem might be on the jade pupil slip, but in order not to reveal his flaws, he turned his head to Bai Zhanpeng, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Brother Bai, what happened to Senior Qin?"

Bai Zhanpeng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But it happened after the old man saw your jade pupil slip, so the problem must have appeared on the jade pupil slip. Oh, by the way, Brother Meng, you What else is there in the Jade Eye Slip for Master other than the "Suzaku Fire God Kungfu" recorded?"

"No. I have read the Jade Eye Jane many times, and there is nothing else in it except "Suzaku Vulcan Art."

"That's strange." Bai Zhanpeng scratched his scalp.

Next, Meng Xiang and Bai Zhanpeng will not bother with the jade pupil slip, anyway, the answer will always be revealed.They began to discuss some fire-type Taoism instead.

Although Qin Luochuan hadn't formally accepted Meng Xiang as his apprentice, he could be regarded as a member of Lieyang Peak, so Bai Zhanpeng passed some relatively basic and simple Taoism to him and asked him to practice by himself.

After all, Meng Xiang was a beginner and didn't know much about some Taoism. Now that he met Bai Zhanpeng, he happened to point out what he didn't understand.Bai Zhanpeng didn't hide his secrets either, and imparted some of his own experience.

Just when Meng Xiang and Bai Zhanpeng were talking happily, suddenly a red light rushed into the room.Before they could react, the red light rolled them and flew out of the room, towards the mountain behind Lieyang Peak.

Meng Xiang was startled at first, but he quickly calmed down and prepared to attack, but was stopped by Bai Zhanpeng.He felt it for a while, and found that the red light really didn't mean to hurt him, so he stood still, but he still raised his vigilance and was ready to deal with any eventuality.

Soon, the red light enveloping Meng Xiang and Bai Zhanpeng flew into a tall cave.And when they landed, they immediately felt that something was wrong. Not only were almost all the people in Lieyang Peak present, but there were also two old men with somewhat similar appearance sitting side by side.

Although they didn't know them, judging from the restraint and respect shown by Qin Luochuan and Hua Jiu in front of them, their identities must not be simple.

Almost at the same time, a question popped up in the minds of Meng Xiang and Bai Zhanpeng respectively: What happened after such a laborious effort?You must know that some people in Lieyang Peak are unshakable.
