"Wang Yan pays his respects to the Grandmaster. ()”
In the Cloud Sword Pavilion, Wang Yan knelt down and paid his respect to an elder with long eyebrows who was sitting in the middle of the hall. This elder was the Master of Duan Henan, Elder Yunjian, one of the Seven Sword Elders of the Inner Gate, Qi Minggong.
Looking at Wang Yan, who was bowing respectfully, Qi Minggong stroked his beard and nodded. His eyes were full of satisfaction. He said, "Wang Yan, you are very good."
After saying that, Qi Minggong waved his sleeves. Wang Yan felt a pulling force and immediately stood up.
"The Sect Head has sent out the news that you have made a great contribution to the sect in the Northern Victory State. He will promote you to be a true disciple. It is not easy to become a true disciple at the Nurturing Embryo Stage. You should continue to work hard and cultivate well in the future. You should not let the Sect Head down …"
Qi Minggong said some polite words with a sense of encouragement. But soon he changed the topic and said, "I heard from your Youngest Uncle that Hu Yunyang, the true disciple of the Moon Reflection Peak, had made trouble for you before you came here. I guess you know the reason, don't you?"
"I understand."
Wang Yan nodded. He and Hu Yunyang did not know each other. There was no connection between them. There was only one possibility for Hu Yunyang to suddenly challenge him — the Golden Lights Cave.
The matter of the Golden Lights Cave was an absolute secret to the ordinary disciples and even the ordinary people in Jianghu. However, the true disciples should know about it. Wang Yan had been appointed by Liu Zhaoxian as his Path Protector. When the time came, he would enter the Golden Lights Cave together with Liu Zhaoxian. Such a Fated Chance was naturally coveted by others. Now that Liu Zhaoxian had returned to the sect, the news would definitely spread. Hu Yunyang most likely challenged Meng Qi because he was unwilling to accept it.
"I have also heard that you are valued by the Peak Master of the Moon Reflection Peak. But that matter involves too many people. Once the news spreads, Hu Yunyang will not be the only one looking for you. I am afraid that the true disciples of the other peaks at the Nurturing Embryo Stage will also be looking for you. You have to control the degree of this matter. After all, it is a competition between fellow disciples. If you attack too heavily, it will inevitably give others an excuse to intervene."
The matter of the Secret Realm of the Spirit Source was of great importance. It was also a great opportunity. If the disciples at the Nurturing Embryo Stage entered the Secret Realm, there would be endless benefits. Naturally, a large number of people would be coveting it. Qi Minggong did not say it out loud, but he still tried his best to remind Wang Yan. For an Elder of the Cloud Sword Sect like him, sometimes the fights in the sect were even more dangerous than the swords and sabers in Jianghu.
The entire Aojian Villa was led by the Villa Lord. However, the Four Peak Masters had a high status like the Highest Elder. Because of this, the true disciples from the Four Peaks had a slightly higher status than the other true disciples. Although the Seven Sword Elders were in charge of the inner court's punishment, imparting skills, and the Secret Realm, they could be said to have a high status and power. However, compared to the Four Peak Masters, they were still not as powerful. The Golden Light Cave was too important. In the past, the Villa Lord and the Four Peaks were in charge of it. Even the Seven Sword Elders could not intervene. This time, Liu Zhaoxian had involved Wang Yan in this matter. Therefore, Qi Minggong was more or less worried.
However, Wang Yan already had a plan in mind. He also had a plan for the future. He only said, "Previously, when I went to the Northern Victory State, I had a lot of gains. I also had a lot of understanding of my own martial arts. However, I did not have the time to calm down and properly study and practice my martial arts. Therefore, when I return to the sect, I want to do a closed-door training for a period of time."
"That's good too. Originally, Master had a lot of miscellaneous work to do in the reconstruction of the Outer Sect. I wanted you to help out a little. However, now that you are involved in that matter, it is not a bad thing to avoid it. How about this, you can do a closed-door training in my 'True Forest Garden'. I will naturally arrange everything for you. "
The 'True Forest Garden' was a small manor. The Cloud Sword Pavilion was only the main hall of the garden. There were also a few other rooms and two or three quiet training rooms. With Wang Yan's current cultivation and strength, although he was not afraid of challenges from others, it was possible for him to do closed-door training here. Under the protection of Elder Cloud Sword, it would save him some trouble.
And Wang Yan also decided that this closed-door training would continue until the beginning of the Martial Arts Symposium. At that time, he would directly ask for permission to leave the sect.
This arrangement was the best. Wang Yan immediately bowed to Qi Minggong and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
Qi Minggong smiled slightly and then took out three Iron Sword Tokens from his sleeve. He said, "Although you have made a name for yourself in the Jianghu now, and have gained the favor of the Moon Reflection Peak Leader, perhaps you have received some guidance. But the martial arts of the Aojian Villa are extensive and profound. Even if you do not practice some martial arts, learning from others will still be of great benefit to your own cultivation.
Therefore, these three Hidden Sword Tokens are bestowed to you. If you have time, go to the Hidden Sword Cave to read and choose a few secret manuals. In the end, the path of martial arts requires more thinking, more reading, and more knowledge. Experience is a very important part. Do not be a frog in a well and be arrogant. "
The Hidden Sword Cave was where the Inner Sect stored scriptures. Back then, Wang Yan had coveted the martial arts inside and wanted to rely on Gu Xiaoyue to help him exchange for some secret techniques. Now, he had obtained three Hidden Sword Tokens in one go. It came so easily. It must be said that time has changed. Wang Yan was no longer the same as before.
However, thinking of Gu Xiaoyue, Wang Yan then remembered that this girl was said to be taken in as a registered disciple by Elder Cloud Sword. When the matter in the Northern Victory State was settled, there was a chance that she would become a true disciple. He did not know how she was now. However, Wang Yan would not ask about it. After all, Gu Xiaoyue was a generation older than him. If he asked about Gu Xiaoyue in front of the Grandmaster, he might cause some trouble.
As for Qi Minggong's warning, Wang Yan only noted it down. If he had not seen Lu Xuanzhen before and had not received Liu Zhaoxian's guidance, Wang Yan might have regarded these words as a guide. However, now that he had a deeper understanding of martial arts, it was indeed not bad to learn from others. However, he still needed to focus on one thing and find the source. Wang Yan had long planned to return to the sect for closed-door training. Before he refined the martial arts he already knew, he would not study other martial arts.
However, Wang Yan still bowed and thanked Qi Minggong again. After that, the two changed the topic. Not long after, Duan Henan arrived. Naturally, Wang Yan greeted him again. After not seeing him for more than half a year, Duan Henan's face was glowing. The injuries he had suffered in the pagoda had healed. Although he had lost a few fingers, he was more powerful and his martial arts had improved. Wang Yan was happy from the bottom of his heart.
With three generations under the same roof and Yan Bugui accompanying them, the four of them chatted for a while. During this time, Wang Yan told them about Bai Moli. Such a small matter was nothing to Qi Minggong. Moreover, Duan Henan was now in charge of the Outer Sect. Therefore, Bai Moli had successfully become an Outer Sect disciple. However, because of the rules of the sect, Bai Moli could only start as a servant disciple. Wang Yan did not care about this. After all, he was also a servant disciple.
