Chapter 22 The Circle

Sitting in the middle of the stone steps, the two boys chatted without saying a word. In order to calm down the feeling of dying and escaping, they found that the two were quite good at talking. Although Sun You seemed to be from one of the largest families under the Lingxiao Sect, his words and deeds were very casual and gentle, and he did not rely on his family background at all. Chen Shi casually said a few words about his previous life, which made Sun You, who had grown up in Liuyun City and never traveled far away, lit up his eyes. Especially Chen Shi accidentally said some experiences of working in a shop to identify spiritual materials, which made Sun You look very interested.

As they were talking, both of them felt that they were getting closer. Chen Shi went alone to the Lingxiao Sect, who was not familiar with the place and had no relatives. He originally had a sense of loneliness. He chatted with his grandfather for a while and learned from him that some trivial matters about the vassal families inside and outside the Lingxiao Sect, mainly outside the sect. He was in a much better mood and became happy unknowingly.

While speaking, Sun You approached Chen Shi and laughed in a low voice: "As you said, you almost know ordinary spiritual herbs, spirit ore, elixirs, and spiritual materials?"

Chen Shi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "This is so full that I can't afford to say it. In the past, I just started working in that shop, so I just knew some common spiritual materials."

A mysterious look appeared on Sun You's face. Seeing that no one on the left and right noticed it, he reached out and took out a small royal blue silk bag from his arms, handed it to Chen Shi, and said, "Since that's the case, please help me see this thing."

Chen Shi glanced at him, and Sun You smiled, but gave a little instigation and said, "Look, look, help me see what this thing is?"

Shenshi opened the slip knot tied to the buckle of the small bag, shook the cloth bag, and a yellow object appeared inside. However, after careful look, he found that the thing looked very ordinary, earthy yellow, and looked like a yellow lump of soil. The only thing that was strange was that after taking out the cloth bag, it seemed to emit a faint fragrance.

"Hmm?" Chen Shi looked at this carefully, then turned to look at Sun You, and his eyes were different, and he said, "It's not bad, it's true that he is a person from a big family, and he actually carries this 'fire-pitch fragrance' with him."

Sun You laughed and said, "Ah, you really have the vision and can still recognize this thing... Uh," Suddenly, he paused with a smile, suddenly his brows frowned slightly, but then he returned to normal. He glanced at the yellow lump in Chen Shi's hand and said, "You just said that this piece is the fire-pout fragrance?"

Chen Shi nodded and said, "The fire-ede fragrance is a strange fragrance produced under the belly of the monster 'Lihuo Centipede'. It is very rare. Judging from the size and quality of this piece, it is probably only a monster that has been produced by hundreds of years. This thing is most beneficial to the monks in the Condensation Yuan Realm. Putting a piece with you when practicing and absorbing spiritual crystals can effectively relieve mental fatigue and increase the cultivation effect by about 100%. It is a rare spiritual material that can improve cultivation."

As he said that, he handed the fire-ede incense in his hand back to Sun You, giving him a bit of envy, and said, "It seems that your family values ​​you very much, but this fire-ede incense is probably only effective in the Ningyuan Realm. Once you reach the divine state, it will almost lose its effect on the cultivator. If you start using it from the Qi Refining Realm, the effect of the strange fragrance is too strong, and it is easy to absorb too much spiritual power from the spiritual crystal into the body, which will damage the foundation of the Jade Mansion. If you want to break through in the future, you will not expect it. After a while, you will be afraid that your body will be damaged."

Sun You suddenly became much silent, and took the fireworkede incense without saying a word, lowered his head and looked at him for a long time, then gently took back the pouch and put it away. When he looked up again, there was a little more smile on his face, and the eyes he looked at Chen Shi seemed to be a little different than before.

"Let's go." He patted Chen Shi's shoulder gently and said, "Although this stone step is difficult to walk, the immortal fate is above, so he must not leave."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "That's right."

The two teenagers stood up at the same time, returned to the steep stone steps, and began to continue climbing upwards.

※※※

The two of them had already walked halfway on the stone steps, but because of this accident, they delayed for a long time. This time they moved forward again, but they felt that walking on the stone steps seemed much easier than before. In this way, they walked on the stone steps for another half an hour, and finally completed the difficult path of immortal fate and reached the top of the immortal worship rock.

Unlike the steep and steep stone steps, the top of the huge stone of Baixianyan was flat, and it looked like it was cut out of a flat ground by someone with a sword with great magical powers. At this time, many people had already climbed here before them. Shenshi looked around and saw that at the edge of Baixianyan, a man dressed in the costumes of Lingxiao Sect disciples stood at every distance, forming a circle, surrounding the young men who climbed Baixianyan.

In the middle of the flat and spacious open space at the top of the huge rock, there were already many boys and girls standing at this moment. At a glance, there were probably more than 200 people. I think that before Shen Shi arrived below Baixian Rock, many early people had already stepped onto this place.

After stepping on the flat and solid stone surface, Chen Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and glanced at the stone steps that had just come up. He remembered the scene that slipped down not long ago, and was actually a little afraid of palpitations. However, his grand friend, who was standing beside him, looked around, especially after his eyes stayed on the disciples of Lingxiao Sect who were calm and extraordinary, but when he pulled Chen Shi forward, he suddenly said softly: "I think if we really fell down just now and didn't stabilize it, nothing might happen."

Chen Shi said "Hmm?" and looked at Sun You with some confusion. Sun You nodded and signaled him to look at the disciples of Lingxiao Sect who were surrounded by a circle, saying, "These people are so wise, it's hard to say anything else. If we let new disciples like us die today, wouldn't it be a big bad luck? So I think now that even if something really happened just now, these senior brothers would come and pull us away."

Chen Shi pondered for a moment, nodded, but felt that it made sense.

The above of the huge rock was very spacious. Even though there were more than 200 young men standing in the middle at this moment, there seemed to be a lot of room for room. Chen Shi walked around casually and stood in a slightly less crowded place with his grandfather. He looked around casually. Seeing that the disciples of Lingxiao Sect had no expression, and there were still young men walking up from time to time on the stone steps. It seemed that they would still have to wait for a while.

But he watched here for a while, and glanced at the boys he had come here before. Over time, he gradually saw something strange.

The more than 200 people and there were still people joining the group behind them, looking at standing in a mess, but in fact, there were several small circles vaguely divided. There were about twenty teenagers at the center, including men and women, all dressed in beautiful clothes, and they looked familiar with each other. Standing together was chatting and laughing, as if no one was around.

In the periphery of the more than 20 people, there were about forty or fifty people standing faintly. Although they were about the same age, the boys on the periphery looked different from others and looked a bit pleasing and awe-inspiring. Some of them were instructed by the boys at the center, but they were willing to run errands without feeling dissatisfied.

In addition, in a large circle on the outer side, it was probably where Chen Shi stood. The young men here looked very strange to each other and rarely talked to others. By chance, they saw one or two young men who seemed cheerful and were looking for people to talk to. At the same time, in this outermost circle, people stood the most sparse and messy, and they didn't look like a circle at all.

As his eyes turned, Chen Shi actually saw the little fat man Hou Sheng who was very hostile to him. He looked at him standing in the second middle circle. His expression was completely different from when he was facing him before. A fat face looked full of smiles. He was standing not far away from another boy. From the corner of his eyes, he always looked at the young man dressed in bright clothes. If the young man who seemed very outstanding even in the center of the crowd gave some instructions or signal, Hou Sheng would immediately come over, obey the instructions or run errands, etc. It seemed that he was very respectful to the young man.

Chen Shi looked from afar for a while, and suddenly heard a voice coming from beside him, but Sun You walked to his side and stood side by side with him. At this moment, he followed Chen Shi's gaze and looked ahead, and said lightly: "That man's name is Hou Yuanliang, he is an outstanding child of the Hou family's legitimate branch."

Chen Shi turned his head and looked at him, saying, "There are quite a few people you know."

Sun You shrugged and said, "There is no way. Most of the vassal families under the Lingxiao Sect are within a radius of 500 miles of Liuyun City. When they fight against the small families, they walk around each other. Many people have been playing together since childhood."

Chen Shi smiled, looked at the center of the crowd again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then, those people standing in the middle..."

Sun Youzhi said directly: "The more than 20 people in the middle are the direct descendants of some of the most powerful families. They are the most valued by their families on weekdays. Some of them have already registered in the Lingxiao Sect. Some of them are from the expenses of the aristocratic families. Some of them are selected because of their good talents, and some have children from distant relatives who have been associated with these aristocratic families. Anyway, they all have to act according to the expressions of these direct descendants." As he said that, he pointed to the place where he and Shen Shi stood, and said, "As for the outside circle we are standing, I don't know any of them. They should be all the civilian disciples taken by the Lingxiao Sect this time."

Chen Shi rolled his eyes, then smiled and said, "Aren't you a member of the Sun family? You know so many people, why don't you go over and talk to them?"

Sun You sneered, as if you were about to say something, suddenly, among the center of the crowd, a handsome and slender boy in white, looked at him, and happened to see Sun You. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved his hand and shouted loudly:

"Second brother, when did you come up? Come here quickly."
