Chapter 217 Flower Bone 9
Bai Zihua was also secretly shocked. He had only used the Duan Nian Sword a few times when he was teaching Hua Qiangu swordsmanship. He did not expect that Duan Nian would actually be willing to let Hua Qiangu use it. This showed that Hua Qiangu was indeed not a simple mortal.
The Buddha Moyan watched Duan Nian fly into Hua Qiangu's hands under everyone's noses. His first reaction was that Bai Zihua had secretly intervened, but then he thought, Bai Zihua is not that kind of person. However, this matter needs to give everyone a clear explanation at this time, otherwise Chang Liu's reputation will be damaged.
"Zihua, what is going on? How could Duan Nian be controlled by Hua Qiangu for no reason?"
Bai Zihua also knew the seriousness of the matter. Without Ni Qianzhang's intervention to muddy the waters, he explained, "In the past, I saw Hua Qiangu still practicing swordplay in the middle of the night. I admired her hardworking attitude towards her disciples and even gave her guidance several times. I guess Duan Nian was grateful for her persistence."
Mo Yan looked down on Hua Qiangu, but he couldn't embarrass himself in front of Bai Zihua in this situation, so he smiled and said, "I see, Hua Qiangu doesn't seem to have enough immortal talent and fate, but since she was able to enter Chang Liu's sect, she must have something outstanding. I guess it is because of this that Duan Nian is willing to let her command him a little."
"However, Hua Qiangu's cultivation is far inferior to Jiang Xinxin's at the moment. Even with the Breaking Thoughts in hand, Hua Qiangu will definitely lose. This shows that Jiang Xinxin's talent is indeed extraordinary."
Speaking of Jiang Xinxin, Bai Zihua also treated her differently. Seeing Jiang Xinxin dodging attacks with ease, Bai Zihua couldn't help but smile: "This Jiang Xinxin is indeed an excellent seedling for cultivating immortals."
Mo Yan was overjoyed and quickly prepared to finalize Jiang Xinxin's apprenticeship. "Since Zihua thinks highly of Jiang Xinxin, why not accept her as your disciple? Protecting the people is really hard, why not let her share some of the burden for you?"
Bai Zihua nodded slightly and said no more, but Ni Qianzhang below, at the instruction of Ni Mantian, opened his mouth to congratulate the Immortal Changliu on having a good disciple. He also said a lot of compliments to Bai Zihua and Changliu, as well as praising Jiang Xinxin, which made Mo Yan smile from ear to ear. The thought of giving up was just over.
But Hua Qiangu on the scene was disturbed by this sudden change, and she almost lost her mind. She didn't expect that her day and night practice still made her so weak. Even the few tricks she learned from the demon lord Sha Qianmo were still useless against Jiang Xinxin. The obsession went into her heart and bones, and her pupils even began to change color.
Jiang Xinxin no longer hesitated, and went straight to the face and used her ultimate skill, picked up Hua Qiangu and threw her out, interrupting Hua Qiangu's possession. At least she saved Changliu's face and Hua Qiangu's future.
As for the competition between Ni Mantian and Shufeng on the other side, Ni Mantian also went all out from the start and ordered Shufeng not to let up at all, otherwise she would never be friends with Shufeng again.
When it comes to matters that don't involve Hua Qiangu, Shuofeng is very clear-headed. Originally, he wanted to secretly give Ni Mantian a break and let her get into the top three, but since Ni Mantian herself wouldn't allow it, Shuofeng also went all out.
Originally, Shuofeng's cultivation was only slightly higher than Ni Mantian's, and his advantage was not obvious. Now, Shuofeng had a flaw in his heart because he let Hua Qiangu win, so of course he could not compare to Ni Mantian, who was wholeheartedly pursuing a higher realm. Therefore, the competition between the two was really exciting, and they fought until they both began to be exhausted.
Previously, Shuofeng's letting go was too obvious, and not only the experienced masters on the field, but even disciples like Luo Shiyi found it embarrassing to watch. But when Shuofeng got serious, the level of cultivation he displayed was indeed impressive. Naturally, Ni Mantian, who was on par with him, also earned Ni Qianzhang a lot of praise.
Jiang Xinxin's cultivation is obvious to all. Ni Qianzhang certainly would not expect Ni Mantian to be better than Jiang Xinxin, so he only hated Shuofeng for being blind and openly affecting the principle of fairness in the Fairy Sword Conference, which also caused Ni Mantian to have to rank below Hua Qiangu, a fake.
In the end, Ni Mantian defeated Shuofeng by one move because of her stable emotions and state of mind, ended the competition, and won constant praise from the people around her. Leaning in Jiang Xinxin's arms, although she was sweating profusely, she looked very happy. When she came down from the field, she couldn't help but start to break through. Jiang Xinxin only had time to stuff two Peiyuan Pills into her mouth to replenish her spiritual power.
Ni Mantian is about to break through, and his biological father Ni Qianzhang has to protect him. After this breakthrough, Ni Mantian entered a state of meditation. Jiang Xinxin thought about it and secretly added a heart-searching array for Ni Mantian, allowing Ni Mantian to question his heart while in meditation, and understand one by one why he embarked on the path of seeking immortality and why he kept persisting.
After three days, Ni Mantian's cultivation had stabilized at the Tongyou realm, one realm higher than Shuofeng, and he was about to catch up with the disciple-taking ceremony.
The top three knelt in the front in a V-shape. Jiang Xinxin was the undisputed first, so she naturally led the way. The top ten after the top three knelt in a row according to their rankings. The rest had already found their masters, and came out today just to join in the fun.
Luo Shiyi announced the start of the disciple-taking ceremony, and Sheng Xiaomo directly picked two herbs from the flower bed on the side. He slowly walked to Huo Xi and Wu Qingluo and handed the herbs to them respectively.
After the two men received the vanilla, they pinned it on their collars, kowtowed respectfully to Sheng Xiaomo, and called him master. Sheng Xiaomo gave them a few more admonitions, and the two men kowtowed again, and the apprenticeship was completed.
Qingshui couldn't help but look at the three masters above and the Changliu elders around her. She didn't dare to think of becoming a disciple of the three masters, but she felt that she was still worthy of a certain elder. Sure enough, after a while, she saw Tao Weng, who had taught them before, coming over with vanilla.
Tao Weng looks old, but that's just because he was a little older when he became an immortal, so he always presents the image of an old man to the outside world. In fact, he can easily see off three or five dynasties.
Tao Weng handed the vanilla to Qingshui and asked her if she was willing to be his disciple. Qingshui thought about how Tao Weng had always been very friendly and amiable to everyone when he taught them. She immediately took the vanilla from Tao Weng, pinned it on her lapel, and kowtowed.
Finally, only the top three and Shuofeng remained silent. Mo Yan said to Bai Zihua beside him, "Junior brother, why don't you accept a few disciples from this batch of disciples? I think Jiang Xinxin, Ni Mantian and Shuofeng are all good."
Bai Zihua nodded. He did not pick herbs or flowers like the others. Instead, he cast a spell to send Jiang Xinxin to him. He asked seriously, "I want to take you in as my disciple. Are you willing?"
Jiang Xinxin also replied seriously: "Disciple is willing."
Bai Zihua smiled, which was rare for him. He stood up and said in a loud voice, "The Immortals of Changliu, I, the disciple Bai Zihua, accept Jiang Xinxin as the 127th disciple of Changliu today. I do not ask her to be famous for killing demons and monsters, but only ask her to be compassionate to all living beings and have a clear conscience. If she makes any mistakes, it is all my fault for not teaching her well. I ask all the seniors to bear witness for Bai Zihua."
After saying that, he handed Jiang Xinxin a string of palace bells carved from white jade in the shape of lily of the valley that he had prepared long ago.
Jiang Xinxin took the palace bell that suited her taste very well and answered loudly: "Disciple Jiang Xinxin, today I am honored to be the disciple of Changliu Immortal Bai Zihua. In the future, I will definitely slay demons and monsters, help the weak, and be compassionate to all living beings. I do not seek fame and fortune, but only to have a clear conscience, a clear desire for Changliu, and a clear mind for Changliu Immortal. If I make any mistakes, it must be because of my inadequate character and insufficient cultivation, and I will be punished by heaven and earth."
All the leaders congratulated Bai Zihua on having a good disciple, and also congratulated the Buddha Moyan and the Confucian Master Sheng Xiaomo for saying that Changliu could continue to prosper.
Then the World Honored One saw Bai Zihua sitting back and Jiang Xinxin standing beside Bai Zihua, and he didn't mention anything about asking him to accept Ni Mantian and Shuofeng as his disciples. In order to give an explanation to Ni Qianzhang and not to miss out on these two talented people, he accepted Ni Mantian and Shuofeng as his disciples, ranking after Luo Shiyi.
