MTL - My Avatar Has Entries-Chapter 109 Disciples of the House of Lords

  Chapter 109 Disciples of the Upper Court

  The day of departure.

  More than 500 long-breathing disciples from Jiuyang Taoist Academy gathered outside the east gate of Linlong City.

  There were deacons reading out the team list early on the scene.

  The disciples were divided into three teams on average, with about 180 people in each team.

   Among them, the disciples of the four levels of Tiandi Xuanhuang are distributed as evenly as possible.

  It's a pity that Lin Shen, Yang Zhongyi, and Su Nian were not assigned together, they were in another team.

  The scene was extremely noisy.

  For the upcoming war, a group of disciples were either excited or nervous, and talked loudly together in twos and threes.

  However, it didn't take long before the discussion was suppressed by a low whistling sound.

  A large shadow suddenly fell on the ground, almost covering the crowd.

   Everyone looked up in astonishment, and were surprised to find that there were three behemoths in the sky at some time.

   Those are three towering towers!

  The tower is divided into seven floors, with hexagonal corners, vermilion lacquer columns, round windows at the entrance, exquisite golden bells hanging on the cornices, lifelike stone sculptures of mythical animals sitting on it, and a copper gas-gathering gourd on the top of the tower.

  The majestic tower slowly flies down from the sky, and the clouds at the bottom of the tower follow the clouds and the auspicious mist, which is dazzling.

  To be honest, Lin Shen had guessed many ways to go to Longyuan Mountains, either riding a flying monster, or setting up a temporary teleportation array, but he never thought that Jiuyang Daoyuan would directly dispatch a flying magic weapon!

  That's right, the rank of this kind of tower that can fly through the sky is definitely higher than that of a magic weapon, and it belongs to the ranks of real magic weapons!

  While Lin Shen was amazed, the disciples around him also sighed repeatedly.

   Not long after, the three towers landed on the ground at the same time.

Just when the disciples were wondering how to go up, they saw the copper gourds above the spires of the three towers spew out streams of dense mist at the same time, coming around the disciples, turning into clouds and mist to surround them, floating He rose and floated towards the tower.

   After a short while, more than five hundred disciples had already ascended the three towers.

  As soon as he landed and stood firmly, Lin Shen looked around curiously.

  The place where he is at this time is the first floor of the tower.

  The layout here is arranged as an open-air martial arts arena, which is extremely spacious at first glance.

   In the middle of the martial arts arena, there were already more than 20 people standing.

   Among them, five people are obviously the leader.

  The first two and the last three.

  The two people standing at the front were about 40 to 50 years old, with extraordinary bearing and hale and hearty spirit. Judging from their attire, they should undoubtedly be in charge of the monastery.

  The three people standing behind are all young men in their twenties.

   "It's Senior Brother Xie Jingsheng!"

   "There are also senior brothers Jiang Hao and Mu Chuanhua!"

   "So, these three brothers are leading the team this time!"

   "We are lucky. These three senior brothers are all very powerful, especially senior Xie Jingsheng, who is recognized as the top three among the top ten disciples in the upper house!"

  Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Shen was thoughtful.

  After learning from Yang Zhongyi that the disciples of the Taoist Academy were led by the disciples of the upper courtyard, he went to find out about the disciples of the lower and upper courtyards.

  So he has an impression of the three people in front of him.

Standing in the middle, the slender young man with a smile on his face is Xie Jingsheng, as everyone calls him. He has been among the top ten disciples of the upper courtyard in the third year after entering the Taoist academy, and this year he has directly reached the top three. It is second to none in the monastery!

   More importantly, this senior brother Xie is not from a family, but a commoner!

  There is even a saying in the Taoist Academy that if Xie Jingsheng was born in a noble family, then Shen Zening might not be the head of the top ten disciples in the upper courtyard, but him!

   Standing on the right side of Xie Jingsheng is Jiang Hao, well-dressed, with an air of arrogance in Gu Pan.

  On the left is Mu Chuanhua, who is obese and has a gentle smile on his face, which reminds people of Maitreya Buddha.

   "Silence!"

  One of the two directors standing in front suddenly spoke.

  The thick and resonant voice immediately suppressed the discussions of the disciples.

   There was a sudden silence on the tower, and all the disciples were silent, looking at the two directors.

   Seeing this, the vocal manager nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice:

   "The next action to eliminate the monsters in the Tiger Department will be under the overall command of the three upper court disciples. Unless a large number of monsters are besieged and killed, Director Shi and I will not intervene. You can do it yourself!"

   After saying this, the two directors left the first floor of the tower without delay and walked down.

  In the following time, they will sit at the bottom of the tower. Unless the disciples are in danger of being wiped out, they will not interfere easily.

   This war is actually a tempering of the disciples by Jiuyang Taoist Academy!

   Waiting for the two directors to leave, Xie Jingsheng took a step forward, smiled and waved.

   "Everyone, brothers and sisters, don't be cautious, just take your seat."

  Many seats have already been placed on the martial arts arena.

  The first hosts are Xie Jingsheng, Jiang Hao and Mu Chuanhua.

  The rest of the disciples consciously sat in the left and right rows according to their grades and ages.

  Lin Shen had the shortest admission time, so he was the last prefecture-level disciple.

  Because they were divided into three teams, there were only a dozen or so heaven-level disciples on the tower, and only thirty or so earth-level disciples.

   Without exception, these people are old students who have been admitted to the hospital for three or four years, and they are already familiar with each other.

   Therefore, Lin Shen was particularly conspicuous when he sat inside.

  Suddenly, strange eyes were attracted, including curiosity, jealousy, and even vague hostility.

  Even the three upper court disciples on the main seat cast their gazes.

   "This is Junior Brother Lin, right?" Xie Jingsheng suddenly asked with a smile.

  Lin Shen cupped his hands calmly, and said calmly, "I've seen Senior Brother Xie!"

   "No politeness."

  Xie Jingsheng smiled and waved his hands with a warm expression.

   "Junior brother Lin is so talented that even the teacher appreciates him a lot. We should get closer in the future."

  Lin Shen was taken aback for a moment: "Brother Xie's teacher is."

  Mu Chuanhua next to him suddenly answered, "Junior Brother Lin, don't you know, Senior Brother Xie's teacher is the director who promoted you to a mysterious disciple!"

  Lin Shen suddenly realized, but also a little surprised.

  The Daoist Academy does not prohibit the master from accepting disciples as apprentices, but there are always very few such examples.

  Because the head of the house is a high-ranking senior member of the Taoist school, accepting the disciples of the Taoist house as disciples is unavoidably unfair and worrying about favoritism, which is easy to attract criticism, so very few headmen will do this.

  That's why Lin Shen didn't think about it at first.

  Thinking that not many people know about this matter, at least he didn’t hear about it when he inquired.

   "Thank you, Brother Mu, for clarifying the confusion!"

  Thanks to Mu Chuanhua, Lin Shen cupped his hands to Xie Jingsheng again:

   "Brother Xie, please give me more advice in the future!"

   Seeing that Lin Shen didn't resist her intimacy, Xie Jingsheng's smile became more gentle.

  The reason why he showed closeness to Lin Shen was not just to respond to the teacher's promotion of Lin Shen, but also because Lin Shen, like him, came from a commoner family.

  In a place like Jiuyang Daoyuan where the disciples from aristocratic families occupy the majority, it is easier for disciples of commoner background to hug each other and get close to each other.

  Watching the friendly exchange between Xie Jingsheng and Lin Shen, many disciples couldn't help showing envious and jealous eyes.

  Xie Jingsheng is a disciple of the upper court, and even Si Yuanpei's apprentice. If he can get in touch with him, he will undoubtedly rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade in the Taoist monastery in the future, and he will have an extra reliance.

   Seeing that everyone was already seated, Xie Jingsheng didn't delay any longer, took out a forbidden talisman, and injected it with true energy to drive it.

  The next second, the tower rumbled, and clouds formed at the bottom of the tower, supporting the huge body of the tower to rise slowly. After a while, it reached a height of hundreds of feet, and then broke through the clouds and flew towards the Longyuan Mountains.

  There is a formation around the tower. Once it is activated, even monsters in the Tongxuan realm can't do anything about it.

  The speed of the tower building is extremely fast. When it is soaring, the strong wind howls in the ears, but the people inside are not affected by the strong wind at all.

   In just a moment, the rolling and majestic mountains appeared in the field of vision.

  Xie Jingsheng waved his hand, and immediately a disciple beside him brought up the sandalwood table that had been prepared and placed it among the crowd.

  There is a map of mountains and rivers on the sandalwood tabletop, which shows the topography of the Longyeon Mountains.

  The map looked no different from the map that the Academy of Merit gave to the disciples who went out for the first time for free, but with a wave of Xie Jingsheng's hand, colorful mist suddenly appeared above the map, and quickly condensed into undulating mountain peaks.

   If you observe carefully, you can find that these connected peaks are the three-dimensional Longyeon Mountains.

  At this time, the tower had just entered the Longyuan Mountains and stopped above one of the mountains.

  Xie Jingsheng pointed and saw that the phantom of one of the mountain peaks above the sandalwood table was greatly enlarged, and it was the mountain below the tower.

   At the same time, hundreds of soybean-sized light clusters emerged out of thin air.

These light clusters range from red to yellow, and vary in color from dark to light. Among them, the yellow light clusters account for the vast majority, and there are only more than 20 red light clusters, and most of them are very light in color. Only one red light cluster located on the mountainside has the color Deeper.

  The disciple standing next to him glanced around and said quickly:

   "Brothers and sisters, the mountain here is called Lijian Mountain. There are a total of one monster in the middle stage of Ascension Realm, twenty-three monsters in the early stage of Ascension Realm, and eighty-six monsters in the Enlightenment Realm!"

  Xie Jingsheng nodded slightly, looked around, and said with a smile:

   "Which junior and junior sister are willing to take this first battle?"

  As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so Huang-level disciples sitting at the end couldn't wait to come out more and more, calling for a fight.

  And a group of heavenly, earthly and mysterious disciples sat quietly without saying a word.

   For this kind of battle, the Taoist disciples already have a tacit understanding.

  The people present here are all here for meritorious service. Naturally, some people cannot eat alone.

  The monsters on the hills outside the Longyuan Mountains are generally weak, so they are naturally handed over to the relatively low-strength Huang-level disciples so that they can earn some merit.

  Wait until the deeper you go, the monsters you encounter become stronger and stronger, and you need more advanced disciples to take action. That's when they get meritorious service.

   "Then I will thank you, my brothers and sisters!"

  Xie Jingsheng smiled and agreed, and raised his hand.

   Immediately, someone presented one after another with clean, crystal-clear and smooth jade plaques.

  The jade tablet is called the Shegong Tablet, and it is used by the Jiuyang Taoist Temple and even the Jiuyang Sect to record the number of monsters killed by disciples.

  A disciple who holds a power-saving card, every time he kills a monster, he can draw out a trace of its blood essence and ingest it into the jade card. The stronger the monster beast, the more blood essence it can extract.

  Afterwards, you can go to the Academy of Merit with the meritorious card, and you can measure meritorious service according to the amount of essence and blood.

  The dozen or so yellow-level disciples received the cards, all with excited expressions on their faces, they walked towards the edge of the tower one after another, and when they jumped, clouds and mist emerged, sending them one by one to the mountain below.

   not long.

  Below, there were roars of beasts and shouts of killing one after another.

   About half an hour later, the dozen or so yellow-level disciples returned to the tower.

  Although everyone was hurt, there was a joyful smile from the heart.

Looking at the power cards in their hands, the jade cards were originally crystal clear, but now there are traces of blood red lines in them, swimming in it like bugs, which is the essence absorbed after killing monsters. Blood!

  According to the regulations of Nine Suns Daoist Academy, a power-taking card full of essence and blood can be exchanged for 20 small powers!

   Those who have less than one small meritorious service will be measured by meritorious service points.

   After such a battle, these Huang-level disciples have acquired at least two or three small skills!

  In the past, even if they killed the same number of monsters, the feats they got might not be half of what they are now.

   This is also the main reason why the disciples actively participated in the war.

   The meritorious service obtained by killing monsters in wartime is much more than usual!

   After clearing a mountain, the tower continued to fly forward.

  The tower will not stop until it reaches the next mountain, and then the landscape map on the table will reveal the number and strength of monsters on the mountain.

  At this time they were still in the outskirts of the Longyuan Mountains, and the monsters they encountered were generally not high in strength, at most they were in the middle stage of the Ascension Realm, so they were all second-level disciples of Xuanhuang and Huang who made their moves along the way.

  Including Lin Shen, all the heaven-level and earth-level disciples sat still from the beginning to the end.

   This is also the difference between human practitioners and monsters.

  Human cultivators have martial arts, weapons, and talismans, but most monsters can only fight with instinct and minions. Therefore, in the case of similar cultivation levels, if two-phase fights are fought, the human cultivators often win in the end.

  A yellow-level disciple with a long breath of two or three layers is enough to fight and even defeat an ordinary monster in the middle of the Ascension Realm.

   Only monsters with a special bloodline like the white-eyed demon tiger can compete against human practitioners of the same level.

  In the following time, everyone has maintained this trend of moving forward while clearing and suppressing, and fighting steadily.

   For three consecutive days, the tower only wandered around the westernmost edge of the Longyuan Mountains, almost killing all the monsters in the surrounding mountains.

  Lin Shen calculated in his mind, in the past three days, they killed at least two or three thousand monsters.

  However, more than 70% of them are only spirit-enlightening monsters.

   Feathering realm monsters only accounted for a very small part.

  The number of white-eyed demon tigers is even smaller, only thirty or forty.

   I don’t know if the large group of white-eyed demon tigers that Lin Shen saw that day escaped because of the bad situation?

   And on the fourth day, when all the disciples had finished breakfast and gathered in the martial arts arena as usual, the three upper court disciples finally gave the order to go deeper after discussing it.
