At this moment, in a luxurious building built by the seaside on the island, a few people were drinking tea and chatting.
The one in the lead had white hair and beard, but his eyebrows were bright, and he had white hair and a youthful face. He sat there, emitting a powerful aura. It was obvious that he was an expert.
The rest of the people, either sitting or standing, were all very respectful to this old man.
"Father, it's been fifteen years. Divine Phoenix Empire doesn't seem to be peaceful again."
One of the middle-aged men dressed as a scholar lightly tapped the book on his knee and said indifferently.
"Yes, it's been fifteen years. In the Dragon Phoenix Selection fifteen years ago, Ji Lingyue became the big winner. Everyone thought that she would become a peerless expert, but a month after the Dragon Phoenix Selection ended, she mysteriously disappeared."
The old man sighed and said helplessly.
"What's there to pity about her disappearance? After all, she can't be used by me."
That middle-aged scholar said disdainfully, "Recently, another peerless genius has appeared in Divine Phoenix Empire. His actions are as fearless as that Ji Lingyue."
"That kid called Ling Xiao?" The old man smiled and said, "The last time I went to Everlasting Joy Immortal Island, that old thing Changle Ancestor even praised that kid to me. He was the champion of the Alchemy Conference. Even if he's not good in martial arts, just his alchemy skills alone are enough to attract people to pursue him."
"Father, what should we do? Should we rope this person in? “
The middle-aged scholar asked.
"Let's get in touch with him first. I heard that this kid's ambition is not small. He actually founded the Heavenly Empire. Where does he place our Sacred Dynasty?"
The old man said indifferently, "Try not to offend him first. Let's wait and see. If we really can't rope him in, then get rid of him. A genius who can't be used by me, if he's too strong, it's a little worrying."
"Understood."
The middle-aged scholar nodded and said.
"Oh right, the Dragon Phoenix Selection this time is different from the past. It's on the same scale as the previous Five Immortals Gathering. Our Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island has been dormant for so many years, it's time to reveal our strength."
The old man suddenly changed the topic.
"Father, I plan to send the top ten disciples of the Immortal Island to the Dragon Phoenix Selection. What do you think?"
The middle-aged scholar asked.
"Quality is more important than quantity. Let's send the top three. Also, call Huang Tian, who is traveling around the White Tiger Continent, back. With him around, we will have a greater chance of success. Although the Dragon Phoenix Selection is nothing, we will have to face the four nations and one sect of the White Tiger Continent in the upcoming White Tiger Meet. We cannot underestimate it."
The old man pondered for a moment before he said, "Not to mention that the marriage between Huang Tian and Luo Yu should be held soon, right? It'll help strengthen the relationship between our Sacred Dynasty's Immortal Isle and the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company's Ji Clan."
"That's true. Not only is Luo Yu Ji Qing's daughter, but she's also the disciple of the Medicine King, Sun Sa. As long as our Emperor Sky can come out on top in the Dragon Phoenix Selection, we can rightfully propose marriage."
The middle-aged scholar said happily.
Ji Huangtian, an incomparably tyrannical name. He was also the most outstanding descendant of the Sacred Dynasty's Immortal Island.
There wasn't a single member of the Ji family who didn't want to revive the Sacred Dynasty.
The Ji family of the Sacred Dynasty's Fairy Island.
Righteous Alliance's Ji Family.
Both the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company and the Ji Family had such ambitions.
And from the looks of it, although their choices were different, they were all trying their best to nurture their own descendant.
Ji Huangtian was the pride of the Sacred Dynasty's Immortal Isle and also the hope of the Sacred Dynasty's revival.
Perhaps that Celestial Emperor, Ling Xiao, would become his whetstone.
…
"Master, someone wants to see you!"
After Ling Xiao sent off the Demon Liquor Sword, he went back to cultivate. This time, if it weren't for those three idiots who came to cause trouble, he wouldn't have come out of seclusion.
After about a day and a night, he finally came out of his cultivation state.
His cultivation had completely stabilized at the Third Grotto-Heaven Realm.
Although the realms of the Divine Light Sword and Demon Darkness Sword didn't increase, he had a deeper understanding.
It was easier to change between the Rising Sun Transformation and the Blazing Sun Transformation.
The Sky Demon Exterminating Body and Sky Demon Exterminating Heart could even be used together to increase the power greatly.
Just as he came out, he heard Cold Plum's voice.
"Who's looking for me?"
Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"It's me!"
Not waiting for Cold Plum to answer, a lively female voice sounded.
Ji Luoyu smiled as she walked in from outside and said, "Big Brother Ling, it's really hard to invite a noble person. I've sent three waves of people in a row and still couldn't see your face. So I could only come personally."
"So it's Lady Luo Yu. What are you looking for me for?"
Ling Xiao's impression of Ji Luoyu was still at the Pill Refining Conference in the City of Sin.
Although this Ji Luoyu was Medicine King Sun Sa's disciple, her personality was completely different from her Master.
Sun Sa that old man was despicable and shameless, while Ji Luoyu did things her own way and was very upright. On the contrary, she was very similar to her father, Ji Qing.
Adding on the fact that Ji Qing had helped him back then, therefore his impression of Ji Luoyu was rather good.
"Why would I look for you when I have nothing to do?"
Ji Luoyu stuck out her tongue and said, "Recently, Master has been very close to the people from the Ice Phoenix Clan and Phoenix Academy. During this period, he has talked about you many times. You have to be careful. He is a vengeful person. Back then in the City of Sin, you didn't give him any face. He won't say anything now, but once he has the chance, he won't let you go."
"Thank you for the reminder, Lady Luo Yu. Cold Plum, please prepare the tea."
Ling Xiao had also just finished cultivating and happened to have nothing to do. Since Ji Luoyu personally came over, he couldn't not give her any face. If they wanted to chat, then so be it. Who knows, he might even be able to get some useful information out of her.
Cold Plum went to boil the tea.
Ji Luoyu walked in the room and raised her head to see a painting hanging on the wall.
The woman in the painting was cold and elegant, emitting an elegant celestial aura. She was really like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. Ji Luoyu couldn't help but become infatuated.
"This is Her Highness the Moon Maiden?"
Ji Luoyu asked.
"That's right. I personally drew it. Not bad, right?"
Ling Xiao smiled.
"You actually know how to draw?"
Ji Luoyu asked in surprise.
"Could it be that in your eyes, I am a brute who only knows how to fight and kill all day long?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I know a little about drawing, calligraphy, and carving. It's just that I am better at drawing. Actually, I don't need to learn them. Sometimes, when I can't understand a problem in martial arts, I use them to help me comprehend it."
"Is it useful?"
"Of course it's useful. Don't think that these are all ordinary arts. If you put your soul into them, you can really comprehend a lot."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Many martial arts in the Immemorial Era were actually extracted from the most ordinary life arts. For example, you can comprehend the Snake Fist, Crane Fist, and so on by observing the battle of animals. If you combine them with a matching Martial Soul, their power is boundless."
"After hearing what you said, it's true."
Ji Luoyu looked at Ling Xiao with interest. She seemed to be full of interest in everything Ling Xiao said.
The more the two talked, the more engrossed they became. They talked from drawing to refining medicine, from refining medicine to martial arts. Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
At this moment, a group of young people suddenly gathered outside Qingxu College.
These people didn't come to trouble Ling Xiao, but to chase Ji Luoyu.
