Liu Yingyao sat quietly on a rock in the backyard, watching the red petals on the autumn flame maple tree slowly fall into the bathtub.
"Qiuyan maple is a unique tree in her mother's natal family. When she left home in the past, she took a tree seed from her home,"
"Entered the inner sect at the age of twelve, and then planted it here. Now, the canopy is like a canopy, and the flowers are lush, but the people are no longer there."
A gust of wind blew past, causing waves in the bamboo grove in the front room, which also brought back Liu Yingyao's thoughts.
Liu Yingyao walked slowly to the edge of the bathing pool, looked at the reflection of Qianli inside, and asked softly: "It's not my fault, if you have any wish, can you tell me?"
A red flower slid from the top of the tree and fell into the water of the pool, causing a splash of ripples.
"I will try to keep this place for you." Liu Yingyao sighed heavily.
Liu Yingyao doesn't have the ability to ask the sect to assign this place to herself permanently, but he thought that Xia Jinxuan, who will participate in the inner sect competition in a month's time, might try to start from here.
"It's time to go to Xuanyue's lineage."
The Xuanyue lineage is located in the south of the Tianji Sect's sphere of influence, and has a lot of medicine fields. Because the disciples are almost all women, they are surrounded by singing birds and flowers and beautiful scenery, like a paradise.
Liu Yingyao, who had already changed into the attire of a deacon elder, was walking towards Xuanyue Hall at this moment. He had already asked a female disciple of Xuanyue on the way.
The Xuanyue lineage usually handles all related affairs in the Xuanyue Hall, but today happened to be the first to leave the customs, and is now in the hall.
It stands to reason that general affairs can be handled by the deputy seat, but Ye Lingxi always sees the beginning but does not see the end. According to her words, "go out to find opportunities for advancement", which is a pain for Xuanyue's only two deacons and elders.
At this moment, in Xuanyue Hall.
Sun Tianhui sat on the main seat, listening to the two deacon elders in front of them report what happened in the sect and Xuanyue's lineage recently.
A male elder who appeared to be in his thirties said respectfully: "In addition, the head of Yaoguang has now announced that he is closed to life and death."
"Oh, it seems that Luo Wenbo is planning to hit the Nascent Soul stage, and I'm not surprised." She pondered for a while and asked, "Any news about the co-seat?"
Hearing Sun Tianhui's question, the two elders glanced at each other, and the other woman replied: "There is no news about the deputy seat yet."
Sun Tianhui gave a heavy 'hmm', and ordered: "Send a message to all the disciples and elders outside the sect, and if you meet the deputy seat of this line, order him to return as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" The male deacon elder accepted the order and said yes, then respectfully resigned and left.
Sun Tianhui continued to ask the female elder: "How is the recruitment of disciples from this line going?"
"To the chief seat, due to the lack of manpower, I can't take care of it all the time. Up to now, only one disciple who has ordinary cultivation aptitude but is quite talented in alchemy has entered my veins." As the elder spoke, there were faint sweat stains on his forehead.
"Brother Ye took good care of me, Xuanyue, when he was still around, but since that incident, I, Xuanyue, have been suppressed a lot because of his relationship, alas..."
Just when Sun Tianhui wanted to ask something, a young voice came from outside the palace door: "Master, your old man is finally out."
Sun Tianhui heard the voice, and said with a smile: "Hong Hai, do you have your eyes open? Every time you come to see me as a teacher."
When she turned her head to look over, she found a beautiful woman in the attire of a deacon elder standing beside Lu Honghai.
Lu Honghai walked up to him, saluted Sun Tianhui, and then said, "Master, congratulations, your cultivation has improved even more."
Sun Tianhui smiled: "Shen Mo Mingxin's supernatural powers are not for you to use to test your master's cultivation."
Then she looked at Liu Yingyao again, and asked, "This elder, why did you come to my Xuanyue lineage?"
"Oh, look, I forgot to introduce," Lu Honghai patted his forehead and replied: "Master, the sister next to me is Liu Yingyao, the new foundation-building elder of our sect."
Liu Yingyao moved lightly with her lotus steps, walked to the front and bowed with blessings, and said bluntly: "The disciple came here because he wanted to join Xuanyue's lineage."
"Enter my Xuanyue lineage?" Sun Tianhui looked at Liu Yingyao carefully, but she was quite curious in her heart: This is really strange, there is an elder of the Foundation Establishment Stage who is willing to take the initiative to enter my Xuanyue.
Sun Tianhui stared at Liu Yingyao for a long time: "Where did you come from?"
"Without a teacher, follow the elders of our sect to practice."
"How long have you been practicing alone?" Sun Tianhui became interested when she heard that the person in front of her didn't have a teacher: without a teacher, she can practice alone and enter the foundation stage. It seems that this woman's aptitude is not bad.
"Twenty years so far!"
Liu Yingyao's voice was cold and subtle, but when it entered the ears of those present, it sounded like thunder. The deacon elder next to him felt that he had lived his entire life on a dog.
Lu Honghai next to him also said at this time: "Sister Liu is amazing, she can go up the stairs on the third floor of the Tibetan book building."
"Sixth level?" Sun Tianhui looked at Liu Yingyao's eyes suddenly flashing brightly, and the spiritual pressure belonging to the late stage of alchemy rushed straight to Liu Yingyao like overwhelming mountains and seas.
Facing the sudden 'attack', although Liu Yingyao was annoyed in her heart, her cold expression did not change at all.
She let out a cold snort and immediately sank into her dantian, mobilizing all her mana suddenly, and those who were not to be outdone had already fought back with spiritual pressure.
Bursts of muffled sounds of spiritual power clashing erupted in the entire hall,
Seeing this situation, Sun Tianhui was a little surprised: Although I only used less than half of my skill, but there is such a big difference in realm, this woman can compete with me only with her early stage foundation cultivation.
"not bad!"
Looking at the sweat on the other side's forehead, Sun Tianhui hesitated a little: originally he just wanted to test a little bit, and give him a warning by the way, but now he can't advance or retreat. Retreat for fear of being ridiculed, advance for fear of hurting her, I hope she can retreat in spite of difficulties.
And at this moment, Liu Yingyao is also suffering unspeakably: It's okay to make a sudden attack, but she is still so persistent, what should I do... Hey, she actually winked at me... Well, I understand.
Liu Yingyao immediately withdrew all her mana knowingly, and then pretended to be exhausted and said, "Thank you, Chief, for your mercy."
Sun Tianhui pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words: "Elder Liu, now you are already in my Xuanyue lineage!"
"But, I don't know if Elder Liu wants to be an outsider or an insider?" The other party's intelligence made her quite happy: her cultivation level is fair, her aptitude is not bad, and she understands it quickly.
Hearing that there is a distinction between internal and external, Liu Yingyao frowned slightly, and asked with some hesitation: "I don't know, what is the difference between external and internal?"
"Congratulations to Elder Liu," Lu Honghai replied with a smile on his face, "The inner deacon elders mainly deal with some miscellaneous work inside the lineage, while the outer deacon elders need to often walk outside the sect."
"Although the monthly salary of the inner deacon elders is lower, it is at least safe, while the outer deacon elders not only have a monthly salary, but also have extra income after completing tasks, but the risk is quite high."
After listening to Lu Honghai's introduction, Liu Yingyao couldn't help but fell into deep thought: Although the foreign deacon is quite dangerous, it is very suitable for me. After all, I still have to look for Tu Qinshan and the others.
"Elder Liu, have you considered it?"
Hearing Sun Tianhui's question, Liu Yingyao nodded, and replied very positively: "I would like to be a foreign deacon, and I will spare no effort."
Hearing Liu Yingyao's choice, Sun Tianhui felt quite sorry. She very much hopes that someone can share the many things about Xuan Yuemai for her.
"Since you choose to be an outsider, I can't force it, but I have a request." Sun Tianhui looked at Liu Yingyao, her eyes were full of determination.
"I would like to hear the details." Liu Yingyao's heart skipped a beat: She shouldn't make any excessive demands.
Sun Tianhui smiled: "It's not a difficult task. When you are free, you can take care of the internal affairs of the vein."
"The disciple understands."
Hearing that she was only asked to take care of Xuan Yue's internal affairs in her spare time, Liu Yingyao was relieved.
Then Sun Tianhui put his two fingers together, and hit a formula against the top of the hall, and a mirror surface more than several feet long slowly emerged on the entire top.
On the mirror surface, there is a map showing the sphere of influence of the Tianji Sect. The map is constantly changing under the control of Sun Tianhui, and finally becomes the location of Xuanyue's lineage.
On the surface of the map of Xuanyue's lineage, a large number of densely packed names emerged.
"Elder Liu, take out your identity token."
Hearing Sun Tianhui's order, Liu Yingyao took out her identity token and placed it between her palms. Afterwards, the token seemed to be pulled and floated up to the bottom of the map by itself.
Immediately afterwards, a soft ray of light emanated from the map and enveloped the entire jade pendant, and in the ray of light, some small characters continued to fly upwards.
In the end, a name 'Liu Yingyao-Deacon Elder Xuan Yuewai' appeared on the map, and after that name, there were strings of smaller characters indicating Liu Yingyao's relevant information.
"Unexpectedly, you have already completed the task of the elder deacon once before." Sun Tianhui was quite surprised.
Liu Yingyao replied solemnly: "It's only natural to do my best for the sect."
Sun Tianhui gave a long 'Oh': "I hope you can be like this from now on."
Sudden!
A huge spiritual pressure covered the entire five meridians of Tianji Sect without warning. Even Sun Tianhui could only half-kneel on the ground, struggling to support, and the others were already pressed to the floor.
Just when the few people were suffering unspeakably, a cold and unquestionable voice echoed in the hall,
"From the top to bottom of this sect, all disciples above the alchemy stage must quickly gather at the main hall of Mingxin!"
At the same time as the sound disappeared, this coercion that seemed to be falling like the sky also disappeared.
"This, who is this, who made me feel like the sky is falling!" Liu Yingyao only felt that her whole body was dripping with cold sweat: just now she didn't even have the ability to resist at all. crushed to dust.
And Sun Tianhui next to him seemed to have thought of something, his face was full of surprise and excitement, he didn't care about the other people at all, turned into a ray of light, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
