Chapter 2 The proud man in front of Ligongshan Gate
“Well…”
On the mountain road outside the Ligong Jianyuan, several carriages were slowly coming from different directions. Except for someone in the court, there were obviously others.
Although the entrance examination in the inner court is just a matter of Ligong Jianyuan, it is not a trivial matter for the entire capital.
There are naturally countless people who want to watch the ceremony.
Except for the officials in the court who came uninvited, most of the other visitors greeted the Sword Academy. These were disciples from the Practice Mountain Sect near the capital, and were relatively peaceful with the Ligong Sword Academy and had no grudges.
The most representative ones are Zhaixing Mansion and Lihua Academy.
Li Mengzhou saw Guan Muyun in a carriage. He was getting off the carriage and tidied up his clothes a little.
In the academy last year, Guan Muyun should be the most famous disciple.
He was admitted to the academy with the best results.
Speaking of which, it has been several months since I met Guan Muyun last time.
The childishness on Guan Muyun's face also faded a lot, and she is sixteen years old this year.
Outside the gate of Ligong Jianyuan, which is usually quiet, has become lively again after the meeting with Bulushan.
Fan Wuwei's movements of going up the mountain paused slightly, and he looked back at Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue, and smiled and said, "Don't worry about us, we can go up the mountain by ourselves."
Shen Jiyue bowed her hand and said, "Thank you, Fan Sishou, for your affection."
"Ligongshanmen has never dealt with the outside world. When it is the most lively, there are new disciples who come to the entrance and ask questions every year with Buluoshanmen. Finally, the two annual inner court exams are the two-year inner court exams. The first two things are naturally not as lively as the inner court exams, so it is normal to have places that cannot be taken care of."
Fan Wuwei said with a smile.
He did not go up the mountain immediately, but looked at the carriages on the mountain road, and saw the people who came down from the carriage, and said, "There are disciples from the academy and Zhaixing Mansion to watch the ceremony. I believe that in addition to congratulations, they also have the mood to learn. Although Ligong Sword Academy is not as good as the academy and Zhaixing Mansion, they are as famous as the ones. Moreover, they sent outstanding disciples from their respective academys, which is very sincere."
Li Mengzhou's eyes moved away from Guan Muyun and turned to the young man who got off from another carriage. The costumes dotted with stars had proved his identity.
It was a gentle man with a gentle smile on his lips, and he nodded slightly to signal to the other people who came down from the carriage.
Shen Jiyue blurted out and said, "This person is very beautiful."
Li Mengzhou couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "You like good-looking people so much, maybe you will marry someone who is not good-looking in the future."
Shen Jiyue said, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Li Mengzhou shook his head and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
Shen Jiyue thought he was saying that the two of them could not be together, and was about to say something fun, but Li Mengzhou said again: "I am so beautiful."
"puff......"
Shen Jiyue looked at him with a dark face.
Fan Wuwei looked at the two young girls with interest and said, "That person is the eldest disciple of Zhaixing Mansion. Zhong Xiyan is a genius who has entered the Wuchang Realm. He is as famous as the third and fourth gentlemen of your Sword Academy. In the entire Zhaixing Mansion, except for Shen Qiubai, it is Zhong Xiyan."
Zhong Xiyan is one of the most outstanding disciples in Zhaixing Mansion. Perhaps he is not as famous as Shen Qiubai, who is known as the son of Daotian, but looking at the younger generation of the entire Jiang Kingdom, he is also a very few young talents.
At this moment, the senior brother of Zhaixing Mansion stood among the crowd, with a handsome face. When he was chatting and laughing, his figure alone surpassed everyone, and he looked particularly outstanding.
Even if Guan Muyun is precious, he is still young after all, and his temperament and cultivation are far inferior to Zhong Xiyan.
Standing next to him, he naturally became a foil.
The better the young man is, the more confident and proud he feels, and he doesn't want to see himself being compared by others.
But Guan Muyun, who was also paying attention to Zhong Xiyan, felt helpless.
He doesn't want to make things boring.
Zhong Xiyan has already stood at a very high level. Guan Muyun is still walking on this road, and it is even just starting out, so there is really no reason to compare.
And he believed that in the future, he would also stand at such a height, and the person who attracted much attention would become him.
Fan Wuwei had already walked straight up the mountain.
Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue came down from the mountain again and stood in front of the white stone tablet.
Zhong Xiyan had a faint smile on his face and bowed his hands and said, "Zhaixing Mansion visited Ligong Mountain Gate and came to watch the grand entrance examination in the inner courtyard. I am here to stay at Zhong Xiyan, I am polite."
Chen Jiyue also gave her a gift and made some polite treatment.
Jiang Guo is a place where etiquette is highly valued, so Li Mengzhou also replied to the courtesy but said nothing.
"Brother Li."
However, Guan Muyun specially greeted Li Mengzhou, and the students from the academy became more standardized in terms of etiquette.
Li Mengzhou nodded slightly and said, "I heard that you have also entered the realm of inheriting the art?"
Guan Muyun smiled and said, "It's just a lucky person, and he is not as good as Brother Li's feat of breaking the realm and becoming famous in one battle."
In the capital, there are many rumors about these two teenagers.
A great monk like Zhong Xiyan who has entered the realm of no prestige is naturally more famous, but Li Mengzhou and Guan Muyun are newcomers after all, and the discussions in the market are surrounded by these two genius boys who have risen the fastest in the capital.
Li Mengzhou didn't care much about these rumors, nor did he want to pay attention to the things that compared him and Guan Muyun together.
But Guan Muyun obviously cared about this matter very much.
The young man was originally very competitive, and Guan Muyun was indeed a little younger. Even though he had a very high talent, it was also the capital that made him proud, so it was difficult for Li Mengzhou, who was on the same level as him in the capital, to avoid him paying attention.
There are many reasons why Guan Muyun broke the realm before the New Year because Li Mengzhou broke the realm and entered the realm at the Daowen Conference, and he didn't want to be compared.
At this moment, Li Mengzhou took the initiative to mention this matter. Although he was a little proud, he still showed a very tactful expression.
Although the sect of Zhaixing Mansion is not in the capital, there is also a palace of Zhaixing Mansion in the capital. The star master who is the national master is also the most peak of the fifth realm, and most of them stay in the capital.
It was only a few things that I returned to the mountain gate a few years ago because I had to deal with.
Now that Zhong Xiyan appears in the capital, it also means that the national master has also returned to the capital.
Zhaixing Mansion has also heard of what happened in the capital last winter, but in fact Zhong Xiyan was not very clear. He had heard that Zhaixing Mansion disciples who stayed in the capital for many years talk about Li Mengzhou and Guan Muyun. After all, they were the two most hotly discussed figures last year, and all forces will pay attention to it.
But Zhong Xiyan did not recognize these two boys.
Now that I heard their conversation, I quickly figured out the identities of these two people.
He looked at it curiously, and then made some unexpected discoveries. He couldn't help but say, "It is rumored that Junior Brother Li entered Amaterasu after half a day of visualization. This is indeed a very surprising thing for those who practice. Even if the high-quality person has a long time to visualize, the shortest time to enter Amaterasu is to be three months."
"Although there is nothing mysterious about the first stage, and the speed of practice from the second to the third stage will not be very slow, Junior Brother Li couldn't see the Qi Sea after entering Amaterasu. It has only been more than four months since he started visualizing it, but he has entered the state of Chengyi and can really be called a monster."
This is not the time spent on visualization, but the speed of practice can be described by the word "monster" in more than four months, crossing the sky, traveling far away, and reaching the mind for more than four months.
There are not many monsters in the world who can do this, but there are very few. However, as a person who cannot see the sea of qi, Li Mengzhou is equivalent to having more passes than ordinary practitioners, but he still breaks through to the state of Chengyi in such a short time. This achievement alone can be called standing at the peak of the younger generation.
Although Guan Muyun also faintly touched the threshold of Chengyi Shang Realm, compared to Li Mengzhou's past, Zhong Xiyan obviously cared more about the latter.
Li Mengzhou didn't react at all after hearing this.
But Guan Muyun changed his face slightly.
He did not deliberately feel Li Mengzhou's current cultivation level. Thinking that it has not been much time since the New Year to now, he did not think that Li Mengzhou's cultivation has made progress in such a short time.
However, after listening to Zhong Xiyan's words, he couldn't help feeling it.
As a result, it was found that Li Mengzhou had really broken into the state of Chengyi.
For a moment, there was no sound except the sound of the wind on the mountain road.
Guan Muyun looked at Li Mengzhou, thinking that he had finally tied him, but he was quickly pulled apart. As time went by, the rumors in the capital were not the two of them, but the only one Li Mengzhou was left.
This is a difficult thing to be content.
But he did not refute anything childishly, and doing such a thing would only be even more embarrassing.
Regarding the words of surprise and admiration in Zhong Xi's words, Li Mengzhou just replied calmly: "Because there is an even more difficult obstacle than others, it requires more hard work to practice. This is just the reward that should be given after giving."
Zhong Xiyan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Junior Brother Li is young and has extraordinary achievements in his practice, but he is not arrogant or impatient. He is indeed an outstanding talent. I believe that in the near future, he will definitely stand at the highest peak of Jiang's cultivators."
This is not an exaggeration.
If you follow Li Mengzhou's practice and advance, as long as you don't die halfway, it will be a matter of time before you break into the fifth realm. You will never be unknown. Instead, you will be the target of all forces competing to win over.
But in other words, the better performer will gain immeasurable popularity, but it will also be accompanied by more dangers, which is proportional.
