Venerable Yuan

"Junior Brother Zhou Yuan, this Jinyuan Cave will be your place for the time being." Zhou Tai stood on the mountainside, pointing to a cave not far away among the lush greenery, and said with a smile.

Zhou Yuan looked up and saw a cave opened in the mountain. The sunlight was transparent. Between the cliffs, there were waterfalls hanging down like the Milky Way. At the same time, there were stone pavilions and pavilions opened on the cliffs, which looked extremely quiet. ,atmosphere.

This kind of residence is many times better than a small building in the mountains.

And the most important thing is that Zhou Yuan can feel that the pure origin of heaven and earth is lingering in that cave. Living here for a long time is obviously very beneficial to cultivation.

"Haha, Junior Brother Zhou Yuan, Master Shen really values ​​you. You have to know how many golden belt disciples will compete for a Golden Origin Cave. You can get one just after you enter, which is enough to envy others." Zhou Tai sighed. road.

However, Zhou Tai's personality is obviously quite generous, and it does not show any imbalance. Moreover, he is the eldest disciple of Shen Taiyuan's sect after all. He already owns the Ziyuan Cave, so there is no need for jealousy.

Zhou Yuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "Master Shen attaches such great importance to me, which makes me a little uneasy."

In fact, he didn't expect that Shen Taiyuan would value him so much, which made him a little uneasy.

Zhou Tai shook his head and said: "Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you don't know the situation of our Saint Origin Peak. All the outstanding disciples who have started in the past were basically snatched away by the other six peaks and left to Saint Origin Peak. To be honest, …It can’t be said to be crooked, but it can only be regarded as ordinary.”

"Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for our Holy Origin Peak to compete with the other six peaks. As of now, the ten great saints do not even have a place in our Holy Origin Peak."

"Elder Lu Song was not this lazy before, but after repeated failures, he lost his fighting spirit and started to muddle along, and he completely lost his ambition to revive Saint Origin Peak."

"Master Shen has a somewhat stubborn personality, but he grits his teeth and refuses to give up. But now that Lu Hong's lineage has intervened in Saint Origin Peak, it has also put a lot of pressure on Master Shen."

"After all, if Lu Hong's lineage really captures the chief disciple of Saint Origin Peak and then retrieves the peak's master seal, then we two lineage disciples will really be unable to hold their heads high in Cangxuan Sect."

Zhou Tai also gave a wry smile and said: "Master Shen values ​​you so much because he has no choice. He can only take a gamble on you. After all, you are the first in the mountain selection ceremony. Who knows, you won't Where is the second Chu Qing?"

When Chu Qing's name was mentioned, even Zhou Tai had a look of admiration in his eyes.

But he also knew how low the possibility of a second Chu Qing would appear. That one shocked the entire Cangxuan Sect and firmly ranked first among the top ten saint sons.

Although Zhou Yuan is also the first in the Grand Ceremony, there have been many firsts in the Grand Ceremony over the years, but only one Chu Qing has emerged.

Zhou Yuan nodded silently.

Behind him, Yaoyao looked at the Jinyuan Cave with bright eyes, feeling quite satisfied. She ignored Zhou Tai, held Tuntun in her arms, and walked slowly forward, obviously treating this place as her territory.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai's eyes twitched. How come he didn't know Yaoyao's special status? But before, he didn't expect that Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan were so close that they could live in the same cave.

So, he smiled at Zhou Yuan and said: "Junior Brother Zhou Yuan, you are quite blessed."

Zhou Yuan knew that he had misunderstood by looking at his expression that every man could understand, but he couldn't explain it. After all, his relationship with Yaoyao was indeed quite special.

Yaoyao's temperament is too cold, with a kind of indifference to everything. She is like a detached existence, watching all living beings with cold eyes.

In the past, she may have only regarded Master Cangyuan as a relative, but after these years of getting along, Zhou Yuan can be regarded as one, but she feels that her status is only equal to that of Tun Tun...

Therefore, Zhou Yuan thought to himself that if he really wanted to develop something with Yaoyao now, she might just beat him to death with her source pattern...

So facing Zhou Tai's teasing, he could only smile helplessly.

Zhou Tai didn't say much. After giving some instructions, he said: "In these three days, you can wander around Saint Origin Peak and get used to it, but you don't want to attend the morning classes at Taichu Rock in three days." It’s delayed, this is the biggest benefit after we enter the inner mountain.”

"Taichu Rock?"

Zhou Yuan was a little confused.

However, Zhou Tai didn't explain much. He just smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when the time comes."

He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly hesitated and said, "Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you should pay more attention recently and try to keep a low profile..."

Zhou Yuan was startled: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Tai smiled helplessly and said, "Master Shen attaches too much importance to you. I'm afraid there may be some imbalance among other brothers. In fact, even I am a little envious of you, let alone others?"

Indeed, although Zhou Yuan ranked first in the Mountain Selection Ceremony, he had just started, with little qualifications and no achievements. However, Master Shen not only directly gave the Jinyuan Cave Palace, but also worked hard to win the Ziyuan Cave Palace for him. This In the eyes of other disciples, I am afraid that my heart will easily feel unbalanced.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan nodded silently.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai said no more, directly stepped on the Origin Qi clouds, rose into the sky, and flew away quickly.

Zhou Yuan stood on the spot, frowning slightly as he looked at Zhou Tai's retreating figure.

He naturally knew that Master Shen's regard for him could easily make other disciples jealous of him, but in the final analysis, those disciples felt that he was not worthy of such attention and treatment.

His eyes narrowed slightly. He came to Cangxuan Sect to become stronger and have the strength to deal with King Wu. But now, the Ziyuan Cave Mansion is of great benefit to him. To be honest, he is naturally moved.

Therefore, he did not intend to give up on other disciples because they were unbalanced.

I would politely refuse before, but I just didn’t know the situation and didn’t want to receive favors in vain.

His eyes wandered, he was silent for a moment, and without saying anything, he turned around and entered the cave.

However, he was somewhat hesitant about what Zhou Tai said about keeping a low profile, because he knew that just being low-key on this kind of thing might not have any effect.

If others are dissatisfied, then just convince them.

…

In a cave.

There were a dozen figures sitting cross-legged, and faint voices of dissatisfaction could be heard.

"Master Shen is so unfair. Even if Zhou Yuan, a young boy, was lucky enough to win the first place in the ceremony, he was just entering the inner mountain for the first time, and yet the Jinyuan Cave Palace was directly awarded to him."

"That's right, that Jinyuan Cave Mansion was obviously chosen by Senior Brother Cao Shi, but it was robbed just like that."

"The key is the cave test in one month. Judging from Master Shen's behavior, I'm afraid he will send me and others to take action then. But what if we win? The Ziyuan Cave Mansion may fall into Zhou Yuan's hands instead."

"Why is that kid? Why is he the first in the Mountain Selection Ceremony? It's not like I've never seen him before!"

"..."

Many disciples exchanged cups and clinked cups, all venting their dissatisfaction.

Among the crowd, there was a young man with long hair who looked particularly gloomy. He was the disciple named Cao Shi.

He had been eyeing the Golden Source Cave for a long time and had been saving the Source Jade in exchange for it. However, Master Shen now randomly rewarded it to a new disciple. How could he endure it?

Cao Shi sneered and said: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy for a new disciple to ride on me."

"What does Senior Brother Cao plan to do?"

Cao Shi narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile: "There are not many golden belt disciples in our lineage who can still participate in the cave test. If nothing goes wrong, maybe I will be one of them."

"I will join forces with some senior brothers. They also feel that Master Shen attaches too much importance to that boy. Then we can jointly make suggestions. If you want me to take part in the cave test, we must make an agreement. Ziyuan Cave Mansion can We can't just give it to that little boy."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately agreed.

"Senior Brother Cao is right. Zhou Yuan may have some talent, but now he is just starting out. We should let him know what etiquette and respect are. In front of us, he is just an entry-level disciple with no qualifications. !”

"That's right!"

"..."

Seeing everyone's indignation, a smile appeared on Cao Shi's face. He raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he raised his head and looked in the distance, with a sneer in his eyes.

"New kid, I'll let you know that when you first get started, even if Master Shen values ​​you, you still have to know what the rules are!"
