During this period, Ding Rulan would go down to the Qinshui to cultivate during the daytime. From time to time, the rumbling sounds of thunder would be heard, but the strange thing was, there were no other cultivators around this generation who came to disturb him.
However, what made Ding Rulan a little disappointed was that the senior expert who had once taught her the Thunder Palm Lightning Arts had never appeared, and that made her constant plans to ask for benefits in return. Thinking about the senior’s unfathomable aura, Ding Rulan couldn’t help but think that the senior’s true cultivation must be at least a cultivator of the late stage of the martial arts realm, or even the Perfection of the cultivator.
Although Ding Rulan had already felt that after the senior taught her the Palm Lightning Palm Technique, she would probably not appear again, she still had some doubts. Furthermore, during this period of time, she had gotten used to training by herself in the reeds.
Yesterday’s defeat at the fourth round of the Elite Tournament had greatly disappointed Ding Rulan, even though she had played an impressive role, Ma Yu didn’t mock her when he saw her last night. Instead, his expression was filled with admiration and comforted her, saying that he had received news from the Wilderness Town and was satisfied with her result.
At the same time, Ma Yu also brought back another piece of news. It was said that while his fellow villager, Tang Wei, was assisting in refining in the county, he was also recognized by a refiner of the Madame Yang. He was actually being absorbed by the Madame Yang’s Artifact Forging Hall, and was said that as long as he could refine a qualified magical equipment within a year, he would be able to enjoy the treatment of an elite disciple.
In the past few days of participating in the Large Competition, she had also gotten to know some of the Yang’s Diciplend was aware of the enviable treatment that the elite disciples of the Madame Yang s were getting. In fact, putting everything aside, just the rich and intoxicating Qi in the Xishan Village could make Ding Rulan confident that she would be able to reach the realm of baleful qi in half a year. Furthermore, she had heard that the elite disciples had the qualifications to enter the Western Mountain to cultivate for a period of time every year.
Even though the six eliminated cultivators were still qualified to fight for the two elite disciples’ spots, Ding Rulan still lacked confidence. In fact, in the fourth round of the elite competition, other than Chi Feifei, the difference in cultivation strength between the remaining cultivators was almost negligible, and at this time, a little external strength was often the key to determining the victor of the competition. For example, the Yang’s Diciples would usually have their own enchanted tools in their hands.
Ding Rulan entered the reeds absentmindedly, but suddenly, a familiar voice sounded beside her ear: “A cultivator should at least be on guard at all times, in your previous state of despondency, if you were to encounter a Alien Cultivator, I’m afraid that they would be able to kill you, even if you do not have martial arts realm!”
Ding Rulan’s heart trembled, but soon after, her expression became joyous: “Senior!”
Yang Junshan stood in the middle of the reeds, and the gaze he used to look at Ding Rulan carried a trace of disappointment.
Ding Rulan did not dare refute, and slightly lowered her head, saying: “Senior already knows about this? This weakness has already been discovered by someone, and that Feng Yuankun used it to attack the moment it appeared. He is also a Feng Xing cultivator, so his speed is already strange, and this junior does not even have the time to unleash the Thunder Palm in his hand, so the other cultivators will definitely do the same in the upcoming battles. This junior has been pondering for a long time, but was unable to find a way to break it.
Yang Junshan heard and nodded his head: “That is true, although the Thunder Palm is not weak, but your cultivation is still lacking, and in just a short ten days, your ability to master it is already out of my expectations.”
“However, to say that you don’t have the strength to fight next, that might not necessarily be the case!”
Hearing that, Ding Rulan was ecstatic, she immediately cupped her hands and bowed: “Senior, please do not hesitate to enlighten me!”
“There’s definitely something wrong with this Ding Rulan. Her improvement is too fast and the traces of her improvement are too obvious. In just ten short days, her performance is simply amazing!”
Yang Tian Xue was at home with her sixth brother, discussing the thoughts of the Elite Tournament.
Yang Tianlin laughed, “Perhaps it is this Ding Rulan heaven warping genius!”
Even though Yang Tianlin had a loyal personality, he had been in charge of distributing the Yang family’s money and rations for the past few years. He was used to scenes of scheming and scheming, and his mind was naturally not bad.
Yang Tian Xue sneered, “No matter how talented a talented cultivator is, they need to have a gradual process of improvement no matter what. When Ding Rulan was at Wilderness Town, I also heard it from Brother Tie Zhu. There must be something behind this! ”
When Yang Tianlin heard that a grandson of hers had been eliminated in the third round of the Large Competition, his heart was moved. It couldn’t be that Ding Rulan had eliminated her grandson, so he did everything possible to replace Ding Rulan in this position, right?
Thinking about the precedent of Chi Fei Fei replacing Liu Lichang in the fourth round, Yang Tianlin finally understood that it was probably the same idea for the eleven sisters. Although Ding Rulan had already been eliminated in the fourth round, she still had the chance to fight for the elite disciples.
Even if her grandson didn’t manage to get a spot in the elite rankings, the distribution of the ordinary disciples in the Yang’s Diciples would still have to be graded according to the results. Entering the third round and the fourth round were two entirely different concepts.
Yang Tian Xue seemed to understand Yang Tianlin’s thoughts. She said directly: “Sixth brother, this is not because I have set my eyes on this quasi-elite disciple position. It is because this Ding Rulan haroblem!”
The key is that this lass has to go out every day to cultivate. The key is, how dense is the spirit energy in our Xishan Village, after those people from other places came here, they would like to be able to train in this environment all the time. What made this lass choose to give up on sucare cultivation opportunity and go outside of the Xishan Village to cultivate?
Yang Tian Xue saw that Yang Tianlin was deep in thought and knew that her words had made him waver a little. After muttering to himself for a bit, she continued, “I have secretly sent disciples to follow this Ding Rulan …”
Seeing that Yang Tianlin had glanced at her but did not say anything, Yang Tian Xue was overjoyed. She said: “I actually found out that this little girl went downstream more than five kilometers along the Qinshui and disappeared intatch of reeds. I can’t find his. After all, Liu Lichang learned from his mistakes. Could it be that there is no one behind that girl?! ”
He thought for a bit and said: “Tomorrow, the fourth round’s six quasi-elite disciples will be fighting for the two elite disciples’ spots, and there’s not enough time. How about this, regardless of whether Ding Rulan obtains the spot of elite disciple, I will send someone to probe him. If there’s really a problem with this person, then I will support that kid, Qin Xuan, to replace him.”
Seeing Yang Tian Xue’s face filled with joy, Yang Tianlin continued, “First let’s say, even if Ding Rulan obtains the position of Elite disciple, Xin Xuan can forget about getting it.
The joy on Yang Tian Xue’s face faltered slightly when she heard this. However, she still nodded slowly in the end.
After Yang Tian Xue left, Yang Juncheng came out from the corner behind his father and said, “Father, Aunt Eleven won’t be looking for you alone.”
When Yang Tianlin heard this, he laughed: “Of course it’s impossible, and they’re not aiming at just Ding Rulan, but also that female cultivator called Chi Feifei. If Liu Lichang went all the way into the fourth round, then why did he let Chi Feifei, who was eliminated in the third round, replace him? That cultivator who was eliminated in the first and second rounds might not necessarily be weaker than Chi Feifei, it’s just that his luck was bad and he encountered Liu Lichang earlier. That Liu Li’s cultivation was also seen by everyone at that time, compared to the late stage of martial arts realm, he was suppressed down by the core disciple, Qin Lang.”
Yang Juncheng paused for a moment before saying, “Then should father report this to the head of the family, or to Jun Ping?”
Yang Tianlin shook his head, as if he was lamenting and mumbling to himself: “The realms of life, ah, cultivation level and scope of the world might make everything stand apart, your third uncle’s family might not even bother to look at the schemes and struggles in the clan, but the entire clan should still work hard to curry favor with them, but our family still needs to care about the feelings of our kin. Do you think that just your eleventh aunt or your second uncle and fifth aunt can pull this matter off? I told Jun Ping that it was very simple, but what will the other clansmen think of our family in the future? This may be the downside of the clan, but it is also the main reason why your three uncles are so adamant on taking in elites with different surnames. ”
Just as Yang Junshan returned to his clan, he received a shocking piece of news. His twin nephew, Yang Junping’s two children, had gone missing!
“What’s going on?”
Yang Junshan immediately asked when he found Yang Junping. He did not believe that there was someone who could hide from his senses and infiltrate into Xishan Village, even if it was a Daoist Realm Ancestor, unless they were formation masters who had mastered the art of theft!
Yang Junping’s eyes were currently completely red: “I don’t know either, for this period of time, the two children have mysteriously left the village early and returned late. Because I was busy with other things recently, I didn’t notice them, but after the two children left in the morning, it’s been three days and two nights since I saw them.
‘s mind stirred. Through the formation network of the great array, he could easily control everything inside the Xishan Village. As expected, he did not find any traces of the two children, other than one place.
“Follow me!”
Yang Junshan called out, Yang Junping immediately followed, the two of them moved as fast as lightning, and after a while without disturbing anyone, they arrived at an independent courtyard door.
“This place…”
Yang Junping looked at Yang Junshan in shock.
Yang Junshan was about to knock on the door, but suddenly, the door to the courtyard opened soundlessly. Xia Yuan stood at the door with her finger in front of her mouth: “Shh, quiet!”
