Chapter 22: circle

Sitting in the middle of the stone steps, the two teenagers just chatted without a word. By calming the mood of escaping from the death just now, and talking, they found that the two were actually quite able to talk. That Sun You seemed to come from one of the largest families under the Lingxiao Sect, but his speech and manners were casual and gentle, and he did not rely on the dominance of his family. Shen Shi casually said a few words about his previous life, It also made Sun You, who grew up in Floating Cloud City and never traveled far away, shined, especially when Shen Shi accidentally said some experiences of working in shops to identify spiritual materials, which made Sun You shine even more. It turned out to be very interested.
After talking, the two felt that they had gotten closer. Shen Shi traveled thousands of miles to this Lingxiaozong alone. He was unfamiliar with the place and had no relatives. He meant to be lonely and talked with this friend Sun. For a while, he also learned some trivial news from the inside and outside of the Lingxiao Sect, mainly the vassal families outside the Sect, and his mood was much better, and he became happy unconsciously.
While talking, Sun You leaned close to Shen Shi and laughed in a low voice: "According to you, you almost know all the common Lingcao Ling mine pill, etc.?"
Shen Shi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "This is too full to say, I can't afford it. I used to just fight in that shop, so I know some common spiritual materials."
There was a mysterious look on Sun You's face. No one noticed it, but he stretched out a navy blue silk pouch from his arms, handed it to Shen Shi, and said, "In that case, you can help. Help me look at this thing."
Shen Shi glanced at him, and Sun You smiled, just a little bit of encouragement, and said: "Look, see, help me see what this thing is?"
Shen Shi opened the slipknot fastened to the buckle of the pouch and shook the cloth bag. A yellow object was revealed inside. However, after closer inspection, he found that the thing was extremely ordinary, it was khaki, and it looked like a yellow one. The muddy lump, the only thing that was a little strange was that after taking out the cloth bag, it seemed to give off a faint fragrance.
"Huh?" Shen Shi looked at this carefully, and when he turned his head to look at You Sun, his eyes were already different, and said: "That's right, you really deserve to be a member of a big family, and he carried this'flame incense' with him. ."
Sun You laughed and said, "Ah, you really have eyesight, and you can actually recognize this thing... Uh," suddenly, he smiled, and suddenly his brows wrinkled slightly, but then he returned to normal. Glancing at the earthy lump in Shen Shi's hand, he said, "You just said that this piece is fire scented?"
Shen Shi nodded, and said: "The fire scent is the strange scent produced under the abdomen of the monster'Lihuo Centipede'. It is very rare. Depending on the size and color of this piece, I am afraid that it will only be produced by the monster that has been over a hundred years old. This thing is most beneficial to the cultivators in the Ning Yuan realm. Putting a piece with them when practicing to absorb the spiritual crystal can effectively reduce mental fatigue and increase the training effect by about 10%. It is a rare spiritual material that can enhance cultivation."
He said that he handed the fire frog incense back to You Sun, with a bit of envy, and said: "It seems that your family values ​​you very much, but this fire frog incense is only effective in the Ning Yuan realm. , Once cultivated to the divine mood, it will almost lose its effectiveness to the monks, and if it is used from the refining state, the effect of the scent is too strong, it is easy to absorb too much spiritual power from the spirit crystal into the body, but it is broken The foundation of the Jade Mansion, if you want to make a breakthrough in the future, you don't have to count on it. As time goes on, I'm afraid the body will be ruined.
Sun You seemed to have suddenly become much silent, and he took the fire scented incense without saying a word, looked down for a long time, then gently retracted the pouch and put it away. When he looked up again, his face was already a little more smiling. In the eyes of Shen Shi, it also seemed a little bit different than just now.
"Let's go." He patted Shen Shi's shoulder lightly, and said, "Although this stone steps are difficult to walk, but the immortal fate is on the top, I can't help but walk."
Shen Shi laughed and said, "Exactly."
The two teenagers stood up at the same time, returned to the steep stone steps, and began to continue climbing.
※※※
The two of them had already walked halfway through the stone steps, but they were delayed for a while because of this accident. They moved forward again, but they felt that the stone steps seemed to be easier to walk than before. In this way, the two people walked on the stone steps for another half an hour, and finally finished this difficult road to immortality and boarded the top of Baixian Rock.
Unlike the steep and steep stone steps, the top of the boulder of Baixianyan was flat, and it looked like it had been cut out by someone with a great magical power. At this time, before them, many people have already boarded here. Shen Shi looked around and saw a person dressed in the costume of a disciple of the Lingxiaozong standing at intervals around the edge of Baixianyan. It became a circle, enclosing the teenagers who had climbed to worship the fairy rock.
And in the middle of the flat and spacious open space at the top of the boulder, there are already many boys and girls standing at this moment. At a glance, it seems that there are more than two hundred people. I want to come long before Shen Shi arrives under the Baixian Rock. There have been many early trips. People boarded here first.
After stepping on the flat and solid stone surface, Shen Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and glanced at the stone steps that had just come up. Thinking of the scene when he slipped down not long ago, he was really afraid of palpitations. On the contrary, Sun You, who was standing next to him, looked around, especially when his eyes stayed on those disciples of the Lingxiaozong who were indifferent and extraordinary, but when he was pulling Shen Shi forward, he suddenly whispered: "I think that if we did fall and did not stabilize, nothing would happen."
Shen Shi said, "Huh?", with some doubts, he looked at Sun You, Sun You Nunuu, and motioned him to look at the disciples of Lingxiaozong who surrounded him in a circle, and said: "Are these humanity walks high, nothing else? It is easy to say that if we let new beginner disciples like us die today, wouldn't it be very bad luck? So now I want to come, even if something really happened just now, these seniors will come and hold us back. "
Shen Shi pondered for a moment and nodded, but felt quite reasonable.
The top of the boulder is very spacious, even if there are more than two hundred teenagers standing in the middle at this moment, but it seems that there is still a lot of room, Shen Shi walked around at will, and stopped in a slightly less crowded place with Sun You , Looked around at random, and saw that those Ling Xiaozong disciples did not express anything, and from time to time there were young people on the stone steps continuing to walk up, and it seemed that we still had to wait for a while.
It's just that he waited and watched here for a while, his eyes swept over the teenagers who had originally come, and after a long time, he gradually noticed something a little strange.
In the crowd of young people with more than two hundred people and people still joining in the back, they watched standing in a disorderly manner, but in fact they were faintly separated into a few small circles. There are about 20 young people in the center. There are males and females, their clothes are bright and beautiful, and they are familiar with each other when they look at each other.
And in the outer circle of the twenty-odd people, there were almost forty or fifty people standing faintly. Although they were all about the same age, the appearance of the young people in the outermost center was quite different from those in the center. There were a bit of awe-inspiring expressions, and some of them were instigated by the teenagers at the center to yell, but they also ran errands willingly without dissatisfaction.
In addition, in the larger outer circle, this is probably where Shen Shi is standing. The teenagers here seem to be very strange to each other, and they rarely talk to others. The teenager seems to have a cheerful temperament, and there are few people who are looking for a conversation. At the same time, in this outermost circle, the people are also the most sparse and messy, and they don't seem to be in a circle at all.
And while his eyes turned, Shen Shi actually saw the little fat guy Hou Sheng who was very hostile to him. He was standing in the second circle in the middle, and his expression at this moment was completely different from when he was facing him before. People, a chubby face is full of smiles, and he is standing not far away from another young man. Out of the corner of his eyes, he always looks at the brightly-dressed young man. The young man in the center of the crowd who appeared to be very outstanding had some instructions or gestures, and Hou Sheng would immediately rush in to follow the instructions or run errands. It seemed that he was very respectful to this young man.
Shen Shi looked at from a distance for a while, and suddenly heard a voice from his side, but Sun You walked to his side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. At this moment, he followed Shen Shi’s gaze and looked forward there, and said indifferently: "That His name is Hou Yuanliang, and he is an outstanding child of the Hou family's generation."
Shen Shi turned his head and glanced at him, and said, "You know a lot of people."
Sun You shrugged and said, "No way, most of the vassal families under the Lingxiao Sect are within five hundred miles of Floating Cloud City. When they are young, they are walking around with each other. Many people have played together since childhood. of."
Shen Shi smiled, glanced at the center of the crowd again, pondered for a moment, and said, "That said, the people standing in the middle..."
Sun Youjing directly said: "The twenty-odd people in the middle are the direct descendants of some of the most powerful families today. They are most valued by the family on weekdays. Some people have already registered their accounts in the High Sect. Some of the people next to them are the children of the family. They are selected because of their good talents, and some of them are the children of distant relatives who have had a relationship with these families. Anyway, it depends on the faces of these direct children." He pointed to the place where he and Shen Shi were standing, and said, "As for the outer circle where we are standing, I don't know any of them. It should be the commoner disciple that Ling Xiaozong received this time."
Shen Shi rolled his eyes, and then smiled again: "Aren't you from the Sun family? Seeing that there are so many people you know, why not talk to them?"
Sun You sneered, as if he was about to say something. Suddenly in the center of the crowd, there was a handsome and slender young man dressed in white and glanced at it. He happened to see Sun You and was startled. , Then smiled, waved his hand and shouted:
"Second brother, when did you come up? Come here soon."
The look on Sun You's face changed instantly.
