Qin Yan was not long-winded, so he reached out to the black wooden box.∷

Within the reach of tentacles, they are wooden signs.

Qin Yan didn't think much about it, and almost pulled out a piece at will.

A large group of peripheral disciples watching the fun immediately turned their eyes and stared at the number plate that Qin Yan drew.

"It's No. 5... Senior Brother Qin Yan won the No. 5 card..." A disciple from the periphery immediately saw the number on the card and exclaimed.

"Hmm? Yes, it's the No. 5 plate," Qin Yan quickly scanned the number on the wooden plate in his hand. No. '5' was clear.

"In other words, Qin Yan, the group you are in is in the fifth group..." Deacon Ma's face showed a little unnatural, but he quickly took out a booklet and recorded Qin Yan's name and group he was in. "Qin Yan, the seed player of the fifth group, is naturally the fifth place in the last qualifying competition, and a female disciple among the top ten elite disciples, named 'Zhan Qiushui'... In fact, in the past year, Zhan Qiushui has made great progress among the top ten elite disciples. What she practiced was a king-level mid-grade boxing technique, "Tiger Roaring Emperor Fist", and she took the path of domineering. She took the storm like a storm, the sky collapsed, and she was the best at fighting fiercely. She had a set of counterattacks in adversity. In fact, this time, many elders were optimistic that "Zhan Qiushui" could advance into the top three... I have to say, Qin Yan, if you draw the five groups, you will be a little unlucky..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan's expression was calm and he didn't say much.

But the disciples on the side were a little anxious for Qin Yan.

"Forget it, Qin Yan, don't be too frustrated. The specific schedule, on the day of the competition, the Presbyterian Council personally announced it. However, according to previous experiences, each of the ten groups will decide the top three. Entering the next stage. Qin Yan, there are more than 50 disciples participating in the five groups in your competition. Zhan Qiushui should definitely win the first place in the group and qualify with his head held high. With two places left, you can still compete," Deacon Ma comforted.

‘Oh? There are three people in each group, and that is thirty people entering the second stage. This time, Deacon Ma told me that as long as I get the top 30 in the annual qualifying competition of the inner disciples, I will retire and no longer punish me for beating Senior Brother Ye for the crime... In other words, as long as the group appears, I will be fine...’ Qin Yan's heart moved slightly. However, after practicing three body refining techniques and using dragon blood, Qin Yan's goal at this time is no longer satisfied with the appearance of the group!

When Deacon Ma comforted Qin Yan, some helplessness appeared between his eyebrows.

When a group appears, it is to lock in a top 30 position. However, it is not easy for ten groups to break through in any group. Not to mention, the five groups drawn by Qin Yan are in charge of a powerful genius like Zhan Qiushui.

Moreover, in addition to Zhan Qiushui, the five groups also have many explosive Qi Second Heaven.

At this point, Deacon Ma had 99% determined that Qin Yan could not achieve the goal given by the sect leader.

‘I just hope that Qin Yan can win a few more games in the five groups, show his tenacity, extraordinary will, and talent worthy of the attention of the sect leader... In this way, the sect leader will punish him and will also be lighter...’

Deacon Ma adjusted his emotions and gently patted Qin Yan on the shoulder. "Qin Yan, the battle is approaching, don't think too much. Today you can go back and rest and accumulate your energy. I will take you to the inner encirclement area tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, this year's inner encirclement disciple qualifying competition will officially begin..."

Qin Yan nodded and Deacon Ma left.

Then, Daicui, Bai Chongguan, and a group of peripheral disciples rushed up and surrounded Qin Yan and started talking.

After chatting casually for a while, Qin Yan returned to his residence with Daicui and Bai Chongguan.

No words all night.

The next day, Deacon Ma came to find Qin Yan early in the morning and led Qin Yan into the inner encirclement area.

Climbing a few mountains and passing through a primitive old forest. Finally, Qin Yan entered the inner area of ​​the Fire Refining Cave. He immediately looked around curiously.

The abundance of spiritual energy in this inner area is far greater than that in the outer area. From far to near, the mountains are steep and hidden, and invisibly exuding a heart-wrenching pressure. The clouds are simmering and the clouds are rippling. Various gentle auspicious beasts appear. Sometimes they are dotted by the lakes, which are clear and clear. In this huge area, the vegetation seems to be favored by the essence of the sun and the moon, and even ordinary plants are particularly green, just like jade jade carefully carved.

This inner area is not like the outer area where sect disciples can be seen everywhere. After all, the area of ​​the inner area is many times wider than that of the outer area, while the number of inner disciples is very rare. Therefore, Qin Yan looked around and had not seen a single inner disciple yet.

Quiet, elegant, ethereal, hazy, and strange flowers and plants everywhere.

It is really like a pure land outside the world.

The pavilions and buildings that are dotted with lush trees and flowing springs and waterfalls are even more fascinating as the place where gods live.

Qin Yan was completely impressed.

"Let's go, Qin Yan, I'll arrange a residence for you for the time being," Deacon Ma smiled and took Qin Yan to walk through the inner area. "The bell will ring early tomorrow morning. If you follow the bell, you can arrive at the martial arts venue... Of course, I will come to pick you up..."

Qin Yan could feel the care and importance of Deacon Ma for himself. He felt grateful for no reason in his heart and said respectfully, "I have been taken care of by Deacon Ma for the younger generation. Please rest assured that Deacon Ma will not let Deacon Ma down in this qualifying competition..."

"Hahaha..." Deacon Ma smiled happily. "It's okay, just do your best. Qin Yan, you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and you haven't had a fever. You don't have to hurry for a moment. Maybe in a few more years, this inner disciple qualifying competition will be your stage! This time, it's time to start the ducks on the shelves, and you can do your best... Don't worry, regarding punishment, I will write a letter with several elders, asking the sect leader to be lenient... "

"Uh..." Qin Yan was speechless. Deacon Ma's words were clearly revealed. He was actually not optimistic about Qin Yan's success this time.

Qin Yan won’t say much. No matter how much he says, it’s better to take practical actions!

Soon, Deacon Ma arranged Qin Yan to a beautiful mountain. Halfway up the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, there was a loft carefully built with green bamboo, which exuded a refreshing and refreshing fragrance. It was refreshing.

"Qin Yan, you will stay here tonight, don't worry. There will be no inner disciples who will disturb you..." Deacon Ma explained and then left.

Qin Yan lived.

On this day, Qin Yan did not practice anymore, but just chewed and ate a ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng to consolidate qi and blood and fill his hunger.

For more time, Qin Yan stared out along the window, looked at the distant mountains and near waters, and adjusted his mentality.

the next day!

The first ray of light in the morning came to the inner area of ​​the Fire Refining Cave.

Accompanied by the light is a magnificent and ancient bell...

"Dong~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The bell sounded calm and grand at first, but later it became more intense, like a war drum on the battlefield.

The bells shook the clouds in the sky.

The bell rang in every corner of the inner circle of the fire cave and spread to the outer area. It made everyone feel excited when they heard the bell, and they could hardly help but want to whistle to the sky and be passionate.

The bell was also summoning the inner disciples who participated in the competition today and rushed to the martial arts performance venue.

Moreover, under the leadership of some deacons, tens of thousands of disciples on the periphery also poured into the inner area in an orderly manner, entering the martial arts field and watching the battle.

The entire fire refining cave became lively and boiling. It reached its most glorious time of the year.

"Huh~~~~~~~~ It's finally about to start!"

Qin Yan was excited, tidied up his clothes, and then stepped out of the bamboo building.

Follow the bell.

Just now, Deacon Ma arrived as promised.

Today, Deacon Ma was also dressed neatly, wearing a golden robe, as if he was going to an appointment.

"Let's go, Qin Yan, the competition is about to begin. I will take you to the martial arts venue myself." Deacon Ma also felt a little excited. He was also very interested in this annual qualifying competition.

"I'm lucky deacon..." Qin Yan repeatedly thanked.

Then, the two walked side by side.

Finally, along the way, Qin Yan saw many inner disciples rushing to the martial arts field!

These inner disciples were all full of energy, with a sharp and amazing aura, and were surrounded by obvious fluctuations of war aura on their bodies, accompanied by invisible pressure.

Qin Yan even saw several powerful men from the Second Heaven of Explosion.

And the inner disciples naturally saw Qin Yan.

Various expressions immediately appeared in their eyes...

Disdain, indifference, contempt, surprise, disgust, ridicule...

All kinds.

It should be noted that Qin Yan has almost become a celebrity in the entire inner circle. Of course, he is a typical example of "notorious" and overestimating one's ability.

As an external disciple, participating in the annual qualifying competition for internal disciples is the first time.

When the inner disciples learned the news, they were all in an uproar.

Ninety-nine percent of the inner disciples were all laughing at each other, and they all wanted to see Qin Yan appearing to be ugly on the ring.

Some of the inner disciples even hated Qin Yan. In particular, some of them had a good relationship with the "Senior Brother Ye" who was crippled by Qin Yan.

At this moment, I saw Qin Yan. If it weren't for the fact that Deacon Ma was beside me, there would definitely be many inner disciples who came to contempt Qin Yan in various ways, and even threatened and intimidated him.

Faced with all kinds of unfriendly eyes, Qin Yan's mind was as calm as ice, and his thinking was not affected at all. His face was neither humble nor arrogant. Later, he simply looked at him without squinting.

In response to this, Deacon Ma praised him and couldn't help but look up to Qin Yan again. After all, the participation status of Qin Yan's disciples outside was really too innovative and completely an alternative. Such a prominent crowd of chickens naturally made a sense of contradiction and subconscious panic in his heart. But Qin Yan did not.

Consolidate and stable.

People are like ancient wells, without any turbulence.

This is indeed an essential quality to become a master.

After walking for a while, finally, a giant martial arts training ground ahead jumped into Qin Yan's vision.

It is hundreds of feet high and covers a vast area. It is made up of rough huge rocks, exuding an ancient atmosphere and telling the glory of the past. Standing tall, it gives people a feeling of awe and respect, and even a kind of spiritual thriller and oppression.

The atmosphere of this fire-refining cave martial arts field is so serious and solemn that the Longteng City martial arts field is so serious that it is different from that of the two!

Deacon Ma took Qin Yan and entered the martial arts field from a special passage.

Inside the martial arts field, there are a large number of ancient arenas, rows in line. Each is boundless and black. There are also some formations engraved on it, making it as solid as gold.

A circle around is a step-shaped viewing platform that penetrates straight into the sky, and the viewing seats are densely packed like honeycombs.

Qin Yan made a preliminary estimate that the viewing platform in this martial arts field can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands or millions of people!

Too huge! This martial arts venue is too huge overall!

Individuals are in it, as small as an ant.

At this time, tens of thousands of external disciples had already sat on the stair-shaped observation stage.

But... the seats that can accommodate hundreds of thousands or millions of people only sat in tens of thousands of people, which seems a bit sparse.

‘Well…Lianghuo Cave, a long time ago, was once a second-grade sect that was once a powerful sect. Therefore, the scale of the martial arts field must be huge, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands or millions of people. But the rivers are declining and declining, so at this moment, it can only accommodate tens of thousands of people, which seems too empty... Thus, on the other hand, it reflects the embarrassing situation of Lianghuo Cave... I think many years ago, during the heyday of Lianghuo Cave, the audience stations with hundreds of thousands or millions of seats must be full...’

Qin Yan's thinking keeps working.
To be continued...
