Best Ascension

Chapter 207 Accepting Disciples and Liuhe Mayfly Shield
In July, the fire is burning, and the sun is in the sky.

Waves rolled up one after another, slapping against the jagged rocks below Aoshou Cliff.

At this time, in Guanlan Pavilion on the third floor of Wanghai Tower on the top of Aoshou Cliff, seven young men and women with different styles were waiting solemnly.Anxiety was more evident on some faces.

Not long after, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

"I'm back, the third son is back!"

Hearing this sound, the seven senior members of the Zhao family in Guanlan Pavilion looked at the door almost at the same time.

At this moment, a young man with a white robe and jade crown, a slender figure, a pink face and thin lips happened to appear, and hurriedly walked into the Guanlan Pavilion.

"Third brother, are you done?" Zhao Damo was the most impatient, and immediately asked expectantly when he saw the person coming.

Several other seniors also looked at this handsome fellow Zhao Dali with different expressions.

Zhao Dali shook his head with a gloomy expression.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, everyone sighed in unison.

Zhao Damo, who has fine eyes and thin lips, and the "third brother" Zhao Dali were in the same room, and couldn't help complaining, "Keqing Zhao's vision is too high! The third brother is the one with the highest talent and talent among us! Even the third brother doesn't like it. I think he did it on purpose. It's just a lie!"

As soon as Zhao Damo finished speaking, Zhao Dali suddenly changed color, and shouted anxiously: "Shut up!"

"Third brother...?!" Zhao Damo looked aggrieved.

"Shut up, don't slander Senior Zhao!" Zhao Dali's tone became more severe when he saw this.

After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Senior Zhao has decided to accept Uncle Nineteen as a registered disciple."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

"Uncle Nineteen?!"

"Zhao Zhao Dingda!"

"Impossible, how could Zhao Keqing have a crush on that sloppy, talkative, lazy bastard!"

"That's right! Could it be that Zhao Keqing was tricked by 'Da Ding' with sweet words?"

"Uncle Nineteen is only on the third level of Qi refining, even I can't compare to it, how is this possible!"

Just when the seniors of the Zhao family were feeling uneasy, there was a warm atmosphere in the Dotting Mansion under the Aoshou Cliff.

In the living room, Zhao Sheng sat in the center with a calm expression, while Zhao Yunxian from the Zhao family sat on the left with a serious expression.

At this time, under the two of them, a middle-aged man with an ordinary figure and a greasy moustache was holding a bowl of Suxin tea respectfully and handing it to Zhao Sheng.

"Disciple Zhao Dingda, respectfully invite Master to drink tea!"

Zhao Sheng took the spirit tea, took a sip, and said calmly: "Get up! From today onwards, you are the first registered disciple of me, Cen Hezi. Take this "The Essence of Alchemy". I'm familiar with it by heart, and then come to me. Go down!"

"Yes, Master!"

Taking the jade slips handed over by the master with both hands, Zhao Dingda bowed his head in response, then bowed and exited the living room.

Seeing the person leaving, Zhao Yunxian's eyes flashed brightly, suddenly he laughed, and deliberately asked: "Zhao Daoyou, I don't understand. I have many young and handsome people in the Zhao family, and all of them are infinitely stronger than Zhao Dingda. Hit him?"

"To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Zhao, the school of poor dao is the most important thing. Zhao Dingda can barely get into the eyes of poor dao. That's why he was chosen." Zhao Sheng said indifferently.

Zhao Yunxian was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Zhao Sheng with a slightly strange look, thinking, "This means that other people don't like it. Is it so easy to accept apprentices nowadays?"

Thinking of this, he comforted himself helplessly, "It doesn't matter, anyway, the meat will rot in the pot anyway, it doesn't matter whoever learns alchemy! The key question is whether Cen Hezi can really pass on the art of alchemy."

Although the Zhao family is famous in the world for refining weapons, if a cultivating family wants to continue to grow and develop, it must not have too many flaws.

Zhao Sheng not only needs a craftsman, but also an alchemy master, a talisman maker, a formation master, and other experts in cultivating immortals.

So three days ago, during a chat, he tactfully tested whether Xin Keqing had any intention of accepting disciples.Unexpectedly, the other party was unexpectedly forthright, and agreed to accept a Zhao family disciple with just one word.

When Zhao Sheng returned to the family, he intended to accept alchemy from his disciples.Zhao Yunxian's question hit his target, so there was no meaning of disagreement.

As for why he accepted Zhao Dingda as his apprentice?

Firstly, Zhao Dingda is Zhao Dingtian's biological cousin. In terms of blood relationship, the two are closest.

Secondly, Zhao Dingda not only has the fire spirit root, but also is an apprentice who has studied alchemy for more than ten years. He has a certain foundation of alchemy, which can save him a lot of energy.

The most important thing is that the rest of the Zhao family are not up to date, they can't even put their minds right, they all seem to be respectful and polite, but they hide their horns, which makes Zhao Sheng disliked.

Seeing Zhao Yunxian's embarrassing silence, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but change the topic, and reminded: "By the way, Fellow Daoist Zhao. As far as I know, this sea monster tide is coming again!"

Zhao Yunxian's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he nodded with a serious expression, "Zhao has received a warning message from Longshou Island. It will not exceed two years at the latest, and the sea monster will definitely offend our human territory again. I just don't know about this monster wave. I hope it’s not the one that happens once in a thousand years.”

"It shouldn't be like this. If it happens once in a thousand years, it won't be such a 'calm sea'.

By the way, seeing the monster tide is coming, are the nobles fully prepared?But is there any place where the poor need to make a move? "

When Zhao Yunxian heard this, he showed gratitude, and said repeatedly: "The Taoist priest is so profoundly aware of the righteousness, I am very grateful. Qionggui Island is well-defended, and I am not worried about sea beasts attacking the island. But now Longshou Island has issued an order to assist in the defense. Order one of our clan to build a foundation and five people to go to Longshou Island for garrison in the later stage of Qi refining. Therefore, in case of a monster tide, Zhao hopes that the Taoist priest can sit on the treasure ship of the turtle and try to maintain smooth transportation between the turtle island and the outside world."

Although what the other party said was vague, Zhao Sheng had already fully understood what he meant.

Generally speaking, during the sea monster tide, it is rare for sea beasts to attack the island and slaughter the people.

After all, the vast majority of sea beasts are marine creatures, either unable to climb on land, or extremely unaccustomed to the land environment.

Of course, the land and air environment is no longer an obstacle when the sea beast has reached the third-order state.

As long as they think about it, killing an island's creatures is not a problem at all.However, most of the sea beasts above Tier [-] have already opened up their spiritual intelligence, and generally they will not intentionally slaughter mortals like ants.On the one hand, they are afraid of revenge from the Golden Core of the human race, and on the other hand, the Golden Core monsters who have no concept of the same race are "lazy" and don't bother to care about it.

In fact, the impact of the Siren tide on the Star Fragment Sea human race was second only to murder, but the most severe damage to the Star Fragment Sea transportation.

It can be imagined that hundreds of millions of sea beasts, led by the big monster, rushed into the inner and outer star seas one after another, destroying the ships wherever they passed.

What's more, it has been wreaking havoc for a long time, and the group of sea beasts has been madly attacking every ship on the sea.

In the face of endless crazy sea beasts, it is difficult for ships to move, and the sea traffic is cut off.The islands in the Broken Star Sea will inevitably become "isolated islands". Once the siege and blockade takes too long, the severance of commerce and trade is second only to hunger.

Since the human race in the Broken Star Sea has multiplied so far, the population of the islands has mostly exceeded their capacity, and the output of one island alone is far from enough to supply, so they must always rely on external food supplements.

If the siege lasts for a long time, and the island does not have enough rations, a tragedy will inevitably occur where everyone eats each other.

This is not sensational, but something that will inevitably happen during the previous sea monster tide.

Of course, no matter how miserable a mortal's fate is, most of it will not affect the cultivator himself.

Therefore, a considerable number of immortal cultivators turn a blind eye to the misery of mortals, and are even happy to see the reduction of the burdensome population.

Some scumbag demon cultivators jokingly called the Siren Tide as Heaven's "population screening" of the human race, with the purpose of weeding out trash and idiots and filtering out good blood.

For some cultivating forces, they are more concerned and heartbroken than the spiritual veins of the seabed that were opened up through untold hardships, and the spiritual fields and spiritual mines were destroyed and occupied by sea beasts.

This is the real "catastrophe".Most of the reasons why the sea monster tide makes all immortal cultivators hate it is due to this.

Closer to home!
The Zhao family has more than [-] Jinzhi people distributed on the small islands near Qionggui Island.

When the demon tide rises, the sea route is cut off.

Clansmen are the foundation, the Zhao family cannot just watch more than [-] clansmen being killed or starved to death, so it is necessary to ensure smooth communication between the islands.

Zhao Sheng was entrusted with important tasks as soon as he arrived, which shows the dilemma of Zhao's lack of manpower.

After understanding the meaning of Zhao Yunxian's words, Zhao Sheng nodded, "Thanks to the trustworthiness of the Patriarch, the Qionggui Treasure Ship will be handed over to the poor Taoist."

Zhao Yunxian's expression was extremely moved: "The Taoist priest is so profoundly righteous, I can't express it in words. This old man knows that sailing in the demon tide is very dangerous. To ensure the safety of the Taoist priest, here are some defensive spiritual weapons collected by our family. Ask the priest to choose one."

As he spoke, he took out five aura-filled things from the storage bag and put them in front of Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng took a quick look, and first ruled out the two armor-like spirit weapons.

Although he can't be called a sword cultivator, he is also walking the path of lightness and agility. The armor is too bulky and completely unsuitable.

After removing the armor, there are three shield-like magic weapons left.A dark brown tortoise shell shield, a light red unknown metal shield, and the last spiritual weapon is of a very strange style.

The peculiarity of this spiritual weapon is that it is a round black shield with a diameter of about one foot on the surface, but it is surprisingly composed of six small pure black shields the size of a palm.

With Zhao Sheng's eyesight, he couldn't tell what material it was made of.

At first glance, it looks like hard and smooth horny hide, but it has a distinct metallic luster.And upon closer inspection, the surface of the leather was actually covered with countless tiny black scales.

Seeing that Zhao Sheng was most interested in this special magic weapon, Zhao Yunxian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pick up the magic weapon, and introduced: "The Taoist priest has good eyesight! This Liuhe mayfly shield is the highest grade among these five spiritual weapons , a single-sided spiritual shield is a middle-grade spiritual weapon, but when combined it is a top-grade one.

The key is that it is a very rare combined spirit weapon, consisting of six shields.

Each sub-shield is made from the toughest outer skin of the lower abdomen of the second-order mayfly magic ray.

One must know that the mayfly magic ray has the title of the strongest defense force of sea beasts of the same level, so the sturdiness of these spiritual shields need not be emphasized.

Not only that, but the key point is that the six-faced spirit shield is made from the same mayfly magic ray, and the internal spirit barrier is almost the same, and an extremely rare spirit barrier is engraved into it.

Let me first demonstrate its mystery to the Taoist priest. "

As he said that, Zhao Yunxian stretched out his hand and pointed at the Liuhe Mayfly Shield, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Then I saw that the Liuhe mayfly shield slowly floated from the table into the air.

Suddenly, it suddenly dispersed into six black streamers, like swimming fish, spinning and flying around Zhao Yunxian up and down, left and right, looking very flexible and fast.

What is even more eye-opening is that each sub-shield can be combined at will.

In the air, sometimes one-sided annular space, sometimes a combination of twos and threes, and sometimes six pieces in one.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's splendor, his heart beats endlessly.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's expression, Zhao Yunxian couldn't help saying triumphantly: "This Liuhe mayfly shield is one of the last three legacy works of my ancestor Xuanji. If it wasn't for you, Taoist priest, I would never have taken it out. "

Zhao Sheng listened to his words, first nodded, then shook his head and said: "Zhao Daoyou, you are really willing to give this Liuhe mayfly shield to the poor? Are you not afraid that after I take the spirit shield, I will not keep my promise and run away?" ?”

"Don't be afraid! I've always hired people without suspicion, and I don't use people with suspicion. And I also believe that the Taoist priest will not be that kind of person." Zhao Yunxian said confidently.

Hearing these words, Zhao Sheng nodded secretly, feeling that the tribe of Sui Xinghai was finally reliable, and had chosen the right Patriarch twice.

Zhao Xuanji is a member of the Zhao family's Xing family, leading the Zhao family from the brink of extinction, and developing and growing steadily, and finally occupying an island of spiritual land.His achievements are unmatched in the Zhao family.

Although Zhao Yunxian was not as good as Zhao Xuanji, as the leader of the clan, he was considered excellent.

The Zhao family has developed further under his hands, and the atmosphere within the clan can be considered harmonious and united.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Yunxian laughed again: "To tell the truth, this Liuhe mayfly shield is not perfect, it also has many flaws.

First of all, the manipulation is too complicated, and requires extremely high spiritual strength and precision of the cultivator, and it is best to have the talent of multitasking.Ordinary foundation building can't control it at all.

Furthermore, it consists of six middle-grade spiritual weapons.This means six times the speed of spiritual power consumption.This alone excludes the cultivators below the middle stage of foundation establishment. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Yunxian paused, and tentatively said: "If the Taoist priest doesn't like this Liuhe mayfly shield, why not look at this ghost bone heart shield."

"No need! That's it." Zhao Sheng waved his hand suddenly, interrupted the other party's words, and cut the irony.

Zhao Yunxian was overjoyed when he heard this.

Judging by Zhao Keqing's tone and demeanor, the other party's cultivation base should be at least above the middle stage of foundation establishment, and it is very likely that he is in the late stage of foundation establishment.

If this is the case, their Zhao family really got a big help.

Zhao Yunxian's thoughts turned, and his face suddenly changed. The Liuhe mayfly shield suddenly reunited into a black round shield, and it floated unsteadily towards Zhao Sheng.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, the divine light in his eyes exploded, and the powerful divine consciousness broke out in an instant, covering the Liuhe Mayfly Shield in an instant.

With a move of his divine sense, he easily "snatched" the ownership of the spirit shield.

Looking at the mayfly shield flying around like a butterfly wearing flowers in front of him, and feeling the amazing consciousness in the void, Zhao Yunxian's eyes were full of splendor, and he was very excited: "The late stage of foundation establishment! It's really the late stage of foundation establishment! This is really God's blessing for me family. Thank you, Patriarch Xuanji!"
