Chapter 49

"Among the people who signed up for this conference, there are quite a few young monks who have already become famous."

In the Absolute Beginning View, several elders were all together, discussing around a roster.

"Yin Xueze from Zhenwu Academy, Wu Yaochen, the young master of the Dirong Clan, Lan Chucui from Dapo Palace, and Shu Pinghui from Haizhuangfang. Even Lan Xi, the old ghost of the Zhao family, sent his precious only son here."

"This year's Apprentice Recruiting Conference can be described as a gathering of heroes!"

"It's not just a gathering of talents, I heard from Elder Qi, who is in charge of leading this batch of ordinary people, that there are also quite a few talented youngsters in that batch of youngsters."

"Good seedlings will be accepted no matter what, no matter how many are too many. On the other hand, I have received rumors that this year, the difficulty of the assessment will be increased and the number of entry places will be reduced. In this way, the competition here will probably be unprecedented. fierce."

"I've also heard that it will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers. But those who are young and famous should be able to enter, it depends on whether there are any unexpected surprises."

"Speaking of this—" one of the elders turned the roster to the next page, pointed to a name on it, and said, "Have you heard of this person?"

"Jing Yingrong? I've heard a little bit that a monk in the middle stage of Jindan challenged her before, but she was defeated in one hit."

"I've also heard some news about this person. Her real strength far exceeds her superficial cultivation. It can be said that she is...abnormally strong."

"I suspected that this person was hiding his cultivation before, so I went to investigate secretly."

A short elder came out, he frowned and said: "That day she was with the juniors of the Zhenwu Academy. According to my observation, her cultivation does not seem to be fake, but..."

"But what?"

"This person gives me a weird feeling, he doesn't look like a young monk, his demeanor reminds me of some seniors who are powerful."

"As far as I know, this Jing Yingrong is at least three hundred years old, and she came to participate in the disciple acceptance meeting in order to break through the realm and prolong her life. Therefore, she is naturally different from those other young monks. Her strength is far superior to that of cultivators. Because, maybe it's because she has been immersed in this realm for a long time."

"If she has accumulated so much, it is impossible to fail to break through. In my opinion, with the strength she has shown, it is more than enough to break through to the golden core stage."

"This……"

"Wait!" Someone raised his voice, grabbing everyone's attention.He asked the little elder: "You said that she was with the juniors of Zhenwu Academy, was it the day when Lie Xia Altar changed?"

The elder thought about it for a while, and said firmly: "That's right, it was that day."

"I remember it was recorded in the post-event report that when the Altar of Lie Xia changed, the juniors from the Zhenwu Academy were also nearby."

"So, that Jing Yingrong was there at that time?"

"It should be here. Tell me, could it be her..."

The speaker didn't finish his words, but just sent his eyes to the people present.

Several elders looked at me and looked at you, all showing more or less suspicion, but for a while, no one dared to make a conclusion, so that the hall was completely silent.

Finally, an elder with the oldest seniority and the highest cultivation level spoke: "There is no conclusive evidence for this matter, so please don't talk about it, so as not to be slandered and oppressed by the younger generation. However, since it is related to the Liexia Altar, it should not be underestimated. Just report this matter to the head and let the head make a decision, what do you think?"

"So good."

"Just do it."

……

On this day, Zhao Jinxu came to visit Jing Yingrong's residence.

When he came, he was sneaky, and he let his golden core servants stand by, as if he was afraid of being seen by anyone.Jing Yingrong asked him what's the matter, and he said he had something to ask for advice, so Jing Yingrong opened the restriction to let him in.

"Friend Daoist Jing, please accept this."

Zhao Jinxu held a treasure box in both hands, with a very sincere and well-behaved posture.

Jing Yingrong: "Why?"

Zhao Jinxu: "My old man—oh, that's my father. When you ask for something, you must first show enough sincerity, and then he will do his best to help you."

Jing Yingrong pondered for a while, and accepted the treasure box: "Okay, tell me."

"That, it's like this, ahem."

Zhao Jinxu cleared his throat, he seemed to be considering his words, not knowing where to start.

"That, that is, uh...how should I put it, this..."

Jing Yingrong: "Is it related to yourself?"

Zhao Jinxu shook his head decisively: "No."

"Related to Yin Xueze?"

"Hmm... eh?! How do you know?"

Jing Yingrong: "Guess. You care about him very much."

Zhao Jinxu scratched his head: "Okay, I'll just ask. Fellow Daoist Jing, have you noticed that there is something wrong with my elder brother Xueze, or that he concealed his injuries and illnesses...?"

Jing Yingrong looked at him and said: "You want to ask him about the disadvantages of the exercises he practiced."

"Yes! You really do know!" Zhao Jinxu patted his thigh, "Brother Xueze said you were his friend that day, and I knew you must be special. There are very few people in this world who can be recognized by brother Xueze as his friend."

Jing Yingrong: "Since you know this, it means that he didn't hide it from you, so what do you want to ask me?"

Zhao Jinxu clenched his fists and said, "He wanted to hide it from me... You don't know, because of some family affairs, my father sent me to live in Zhenwu Academy when I was young. At that time, Dean Song let Brother Xueze take care of me. Me. I lived in Zhenwuyuan for ten years, and was not taken back to Lanxi Island until the dispute at home was resolved. During these ten years, brother Xueze has been with me. He not only takes care of my daily life, but also guides me in cultivation. He To me, he is both a brother and a master."

Jing Yingrong: "So he treats you more affectionately than others."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinxu laughed twice, showing a little pride in his embarrassment.

"Brother Xueze, he has almost nothing to hide from me, except for this... I was too young at the time, and I only knew that he was practicing a very strange technique. At that time, I was very envious and pestered him to let him teach me that. After he refused, I still quarreled with him. Until later, I accidentally ran into the malpractice of his practice."

Having said that, Zhao Jinxu frowned, his eyes darkened.

"He told me not to tell it, and I agreed. Since then, every time he had an attack, he never deliberately avoided me. If he hadn't been caught by me, he would have kept it from me. Moreover, he didn't Tell me the real details, I still don't know what kind of exercise he is practicing, and what's wrong with it. So, I'm here this time to ask you if you know the inside story. "

Jing Yingrong: "I know."

Zhao Jinxu's eyes lit up: "Can you tell me?"

Jing Yingrong: "I can't."

"why?!"

"This is someone else's private matter. I can't tell you without his permission."
