Chapter 180 Entering the Shangguan Family
The voice sounded familiar. Even before she turned around, Lin Xia immediately guessed who the voice belonged to. It was Shangguan Yue, one of the elders of the Shangguan family, who had taught formation classes to these ordinary formation masters before.
Although the owner of the voice did not transmit the message to a private person, but said "wait a minute" in front of everyone, Lin Xia subconsciously felt that the "wait a minute" was directed at herself.
As expected by Lin Xia, when she turned around, she met Shangguan Yue's gaze from afar.
When their eyes met, Lin Xia didn't react, so Shangguan Yue continued, "My dear friend, would you like to marry into my Shangguan family?"
Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators. Many wandering cultivators looked at Lin Xia with envy, wanting to know how this female cultivator had gained the favor of the elders of the Shangguan family. They were not in a hurry to leave for the time being.
Lin Xia's thoughts were racing at this moment. She didn't know what she had done wrong that would cause Shangguan Yue to make an exception and promote her into the Shangguan family.
Has the ancient blockade been exposed? It doesn't look like it.
In this way, no matter whether he revealed his identity when he lit up the ancient formation diagram before, or now he was inexplicably looked at differently by Shangguan Yue, he would be invited into the Shangguan family.
Coupled with the subtle feeling about Shangguan Yanxi's forbidden technique, Lin Xia made up his mind at this moment. No matter whether the Shangguan family was a dragon's den or a tiger's den, he would go in and give it a try.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia's face immediately showed an expression of joy. "Is what you said true? Of course I am willing. I am a hundred times willing."
Seeing this, Shangguan Yue in the center of the martial arts field nodded almost imperceptibly, waved his hand, and signaled the Shangguan family's servants to take Lin Xia back.
So Lin Xia mixed into the team of another hundred cultivators who won the formation master competition, and was brought back to the Shangguan family amid the envious gazes of the other wandering cultivators.
……
For newly recruited monks into the Shangguan family, the first thing to do is to register the monk's personal information, and then make an identity card based on whether he enters the inner courtyard or outer courtyard, or even whether he is a direct disciple.
Monks who want to register their information need to go to the Shangguan family’s Juxian Hall.
When Lin Xia and the other 101 monks arrived, there were already several monks in the Juxian Hall with the Shangguan family's unique family emblem on their robes. These monks were there to assist with the registration.
Lin Xia's gaze swept over several people inconspicuously, and then went to the table where a female cultivator who looked very friendly was sitting.
Seeing Lin Xia coming, the female cultivator was very enthusiastic. "Is this Daoist here to register your information? You only need to register your name and cultivation level. Oh, by the way, are you entering the inner or outer courtyard?"
The female cultivator's question stumped Lin Xia, as Elder Shangguan didn't say it clearly.
These monks who were responsible for registering the information of new disciples were all disciples of the Shangguan family's outer courtyard. They did not have much power. Seeing that Lin Xia could not explain clearly, they had to let Lin Xia wait on the side.
Lin Xia didn't care and stood aside calmly.
After all the new disciples had completed the registration, the female cultivator walked towards Lin Xia with a faint smile. After understanding the situation, she took Lin Xia to the courtyard where Shangguan Yue was.
Along the way, the female cultivator kept talking, almost certain that Lin Xia could enter the inner courtyard. "Seventeenth Elder is the most kind elder in the Shangguan family. Fellow Daoist, you are so lucky to be valued by Seventeenth Elder."
Lin Xia didn't understand the situation at all, so she could only look very honored and say that she was very lucky.
Following the female cultivator, Lin Xia walked through one gate after another before arriving at the courtyard of the seventeenth elder Shangguan Yue.
There were guards guarding the gate of the courtyard. When they saw the visitor, they came up to ask questions. After some briefing, Lin Xia was brought into the courtyard by one of the guards.
As for the female cultivator Chen Jingtan who brought Lin Xia here, she was left outside the courtyard.
After walking through a wide courtyard and a long corridor, Lin Xia finally saw Shangguan Yue.
"Junior Lin Xia, nice to meet the Seventeenth Elder." As soon as he saw the person, Lin Xia bowed respectfully.
Seventeenth Elder Shangguan Yue was sitting under an ancient tree drinking tea. The lingering fragrance of tea filled the air, and the rich spiritual energy lifted Lin Xia's spirits. It was really good tea!
Shangguan Yue looked up at Lin Xia, said nothing, and continued to sip his tea with his head down.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "Why do you think that incomplete ancient formation diagram is related to the Spirit Gathering Formation? The structures of the two formation diagrams are obviously different."
After hearing clearly what Shangguan Yue asked, Lin Xia suddenly realized that when he was explaining his views on the incomplete ancient formation diagram, his words also entered the ears of the seventeenth elder in front of him. He guessed that Shangguan Yue had the same opinion as him, so he paid attention to him.
Lin Xia didn't want to stand out in front of the Shangguan family. He calmed himself down before saying, "Junior...Junior is just guessing."
Shangguan Yue looked at Lin Xia who lowered her head, and the expression on his face gradually became disappointed, "Forget it, you go!" It seems that he guessed wrong, and this female cultivator was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse.
Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered and asked, "Elder, please tell me whether I should enter the inner or outer courtyard?"
Shangguan Yue originally wanted to ask Lin Xia to leave the Shangguan family and go back to where she came from, but for some reason, looking at Lin Xia's cold eyes, he spoke inexplicably, "Then enter the outer courtyard."
Lin Xia didn't realize he was almost kicked out, so he thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Elder Seventeen. I'll take my leave now."
Shangguan Yue waved his hand and signaled Lin Xia, "Go!"
Chen Jingtan, who had been waiting outside the courtyard, had been waiting impatiently. When he saw Lin Xia coming out, he immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, have you entered the inner courtyard?"
Lin Xia shook her head, "No, the Seventeenth Elder asked me to enter the outer courtyard."
"Oh, that's good." Chen Jingtan was a little surprised, and the expression on his face changed again and again, as if he felt that it was a huge loss for Lin Xia to enter the outer courtyard. He even reached out and patted Lin Xia's shoulder to comfort her.
In fact, as long as a cultivator enters the Shangguan family, he or she will want to enter the inner courtyard.
Entering the inner courtyard of the Shangguan family not only represents the current strength of the cultivator in the field of formation, but also means that the cultivator will have access to more advanced formation secrets and other precious cultivation resources in the future. With more resources, the cultivator's cultivation speed will also be greatly improved.
