at the same time.

Xuanbing Palace.

The howling cold wind blew through the snowy peaks, as if it had lasted forever, giving this huge palace complex that seemed to be carved from ice crystals a bit of a murderous atmosphere.

Snowflakes fell from the dense clouds and landed on the carved tile cornices that seemed to be made of ice and snow, instantly integrating with the entire building.

Looking from a distance, the sky and earth are covered in snow, vast and sparse.

Only the robes and skirts flashing past among the rolling buildings gave off a hint of fireworks.

At the highest core of the building complex, there is a Xuanbing Pavilion.

This is the place where the famous Master Binglan retreats for a long time. Only core disciples can occasionally be summoned to receive some guidance here.

Without her summons, even her direct disciples would not be allowed to enter without permission.

today.

This Xuanbing Pavilion seems to be a little different,

The strong blizzards that have permeated the surroundings all year round seemed to have dissipated a lot, and a ray of golden sunshine also penetrated from the thick clouds, reflecting on the Xuanbing Pavilion, making it shine.

…

Outside the main hall of Xuanbing Palace.

In addition to buildings with various uses, the largest area is an ice crystal-like square.

In this square, there are several arenas built. Among them, the largest and strongest arena can withstand the battles of monks in the heavenly realm without being easily destroyed.

The disciples of the Xuanbing Palace come to the arena to compete every day and confirm each other's progress in Xuanwu combat skills.

This atmosphere of bravery and diligence is naturally quite different from the tranquil and peaceful Changchun Valley.

They are addicted to cultivation and keen on fighting.

That's why.

The Xuanbing Palace lineage is recognized as the most powerful lineage in Zifu Academy.

Many outstanding young people want to join the lineage of Xuanbing Palace. However, Xuanbing Palace is the most strict in recruiting disciples and has always been willing to accept the lack of students.

Over time, although the Xuanbing Palace lineage has a small number of people, it has a gathering of elites.

Because of this, the disciples of the Xuanbing Palace lineage have always been proud of it and attach great importance to their own status. When looking at other lines and valleys, it is natural that there is a little bit more condescending pride.

In front of an ordinary arena.

An outstanding disciple in white attire was admonishing and assessing the new disciples, and letting them compete with each other.

There are only a dozen new disciples this year, but all of them are elites among the younger generation. Each one has mid-level qualifications and has awakened a certain bloodline.

One of the most powerful ones has a qualification that has reached the first level of the middle grade, and is only one step away from being the top grade.

Such an outstanding disciple will definitely become a core disciple in the future, and may even have the opportunity to become a direct disciple.

Although Xuan Bing Palace focuses on practicing the "Xuan Bing Zhen Jue", it does not necessarily require Xuan Bing bloodline.

First, the mental method in the academy is all-encompassing.

Secondly, as long as there is no bloodline that conflicts too much with the attributes of Xuan Bing, practicing "Xuan Bing Zhen Jue" will be quite powerful.

Even if there are conflicting bloodlines, there are other techniques that can be practiced.

I think that when Patriarch Longyan joined the Xuanbing lineage, he awakened the Yuanshui bloodline instead of the Xuanbing bloodline.

Among this group of new disciples, two are old acquaintances.

A young man wearing white clothes and a somewhat shy temperament is Mrs. Bilian's brother-in-law, Yuwen Jianye.

The other young man, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old but was unusually tall and covered in tendons, was Wang Zongsheng, the eighth generation male of the Wang family.

Because the two of them were familiar with each other, they naturally stood together.

They don't have any pride in their hearts.

There is no way around it. All of the dozen or so people here have awakened to the first level of their bloodline, and it is not their turn to be proud.

"As for the disciples of my Xuanbing Palace lineage, what matters is bravery and diligence, and striving for the top." The outstanding disciple who has reached the Lingtai realm said with a straight face, "Whoever wants to be comfortable and lazy, it is better to choose the Changchun Valley lineage.

do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The new disciples held their heads high and answered loudly.

"Now that I understand, if anyone makes a mistake, I will expel him." The outstanding disciple reprimanded him as usual.

To this end at the same time.

Not far away, several young men in white clothes were passing by.

They are all handsome and handsome, with powerful auras, like dragons among men.

The leader among them looked like he was only in his twenties. His face was stern, and there seemed to be an aura of ice lingering around him, as if he had merged with the ice and snow.

It is so unfathomable that it makes people look up to the mountains.

As soon as the outstanding disciple saw this group of people, his eyes lit up and he whispered: "It turns out to be Ji Mingyu, senior brother Mingyu."

Then he saluted from a distance and said, "I've met Senior Brother Mingyu."

"Senior Brother Mingyu?"

The new disciples all looked over with curiosity.

Ji Mingyu and his group stopped.

A warm smile appeared on his face: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Kande. You have worked hard to recruit new disciples this time. You will train them well first, and later I will lead them to various channels to see them."

"Yes, Senior Brother Mingyu." Zhou Kangde bowed slightly excitedly and responded, "I will train them well and make sure they don't disgrace you, Senior Brother Mingyu."

After the encouragement, Ji Mingyu and his party left temporarily and walked towards the Xuanbing Palace, gradually moving away.

Zhou Kangde looked at each other all the way, and it was not until Ji Mingyu disappeared that he turned back and said with pride: "You have all heard it. Please take care of yourself. Brother Mingyu will take you there in the next two days."

It’s a shameless thing to go around and see people.”

"Brother Jianye, what is knowledge and knowledge?" Wang Zongsheng asked in a low voice.

He joined the Xuan Bing lineage. It was not because he understood how powerful this lineage was, it was just because of the words "Longyan Ancestor".

"Just go to other branches to show off your power." Yuwen Jianye came from an extraordinary background, and his family has produced many disciples in the academy for thousands of years. He naturally understands this trick.

"Shut up, everyone." Zhou Kangde angrily scolded, "When senior brother is talking, it is not your turn to whisper. If you do it again, you will be punished without mercy!"

Wang Zongsheng and Yuwen Jianye shuddered and quickly shut up.

Zhou Kangde then continued to teach the new disciples.

…

And at the same time.

Inside the Xuanbing Palace.

Ji Mingyu and his group stopped.

One of the core disciples said: "Junior Brother Mingyu, this time Master invites us to meet, could it be that Senior Sister Longyan is back?"

"It's probably this." Another core disciple also said, "It has been sixty years since Sister Longyan left the academy. I heard that something happened to her family at that time. Master has mentioned it several times in recent years.

"

"If Senior Sister Longyan can return to the academy, the strength of our Xuanbing Palace lineage will increase a lot."

"That's right, when Senior Sister Longyan was so powerful, I was just a new disciple, but I gained a lot of knowledge by following her."

The two of them spoke to each other, with some expectation in their eyes.

Ji Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

It has been sixty years since Wang Longyan left the academy, and Ji Mingyu is only in his forties.

"I heard that Senior Sister Longyan was sixty years old before she was promoted to the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm. She was not very strong." Ji Mingyu's eyes were slightly disdainful, "But I can be promoted to the middle stage in as little as three years or as long as five years.

"

The other two older core disciples were stunned for a moment and both laughed: "Junior brother Mingyu was born in the famous Ji family of the sixth grade family. Naturally, he is more powerful than Senior Sister Longyan."

While the group of people were talking, they passed the guards and headed towards Xuanbing Pavilion.

…

at the same time.

Inside Xuanbing Pavilion.

A woman in palace attire sat high on the main seat.

She wears a white jade crown on her head. The jade is bright and clear without a trace of color.
