Guo Qingshan patted Mu Jingyu's back gently, and after he slowly calmed down, he said in a deep voice, "Uncle, of course, I know the distress in your heart, and it has been really difficult for you in the past few years. However, this journey of cultivating Taoism , and it is not all dependent on oneself. Think about the vast land of Jiuzhou, there are countless miraculous medicines. These miraculous medicines can not only cure diseases and heal injuries, but also have the effect of building foundation, cultivating elixirs, nourishing essence and warming pulses."
"When I went out of the mountains to travel across Kyushu this time, I happened to meet Gu Shakong, the eldest disciple of Yaowang Valley, in Zhanzhou, South China Sea. I asked him for a third-grade elixir, Gathering Qi and Buxing Pulse Pills. Although this pill The pulse pill is only a third-grade elixir, but the efficacy contained in it is not inferior to that of a fourth-grade elixir. Regardless of the cultivation level in the concentration stage or the Qi Transformation stage, as long as you take this pill, You can break through the bottleneck in just seven days. However, each person's life will only be effective when he takes this pill for the first time. Now your cultivation level is only at the early stage of concentration, and it is far from reaching the inner level. The standard for disciples in the middle stage of concentration. And in half a month, it will be the day of the three-year assessment. If you still want to use ordinary methods to improve your cultivation, it is already too late."
Ever since Mu Jingyu's cultivation became difficult to improve, Guo Qingshan tried every means to help him improve, but with little success. And using this Qi Gathering and Bending Pulse Pill to forcibly improve your cultivation level is already the last resort. That's why he went to Yaowang Valley in Qinmuling Prefecture three months ago to get this pill. However, the owner of Yaowang Valley did not respond to his request and gave him the pill. In desperation, Guo Qingshan had no choice but to inquire about the whereabouts of Gu Shakong, the great disciple of Yaowang Valley, and then went to Zhanzhou in the South China Sea to find him.
Guo Qingshan and Gu Shakong had only met each other a few times. They really hit a wall in Yaowang Valley, so they had no choice but to come up with the idea of seeking Gu Shakong. Fortunately, he also wanted to make friends with Guo Qingshan, so he readily agreed. As for telling Mu Jingyu about a chance encounter, it was just to ease his heart.
As Guo Qingshan spoke, he took out a radiant pill from his arms, spread out Mu Jingyu's clenched palm, placed the pill in his hand, and then clasped his palm again.
"I have made an agreement with Uncle Yunyang. As long as you can reach the middle stage of concentration in the trial in half a month, he will try his best to accept you into Feilu Peak and become a Inner disciple. Although Uncle Yunyang rarely interferes with the affairs of Feilu Peak nowadays, and most of the teaching of his disciples is done by Senior Brother Zhou. However, at least he can still practice the profound skills of my Jiuhua Mountain. It is better than In the end, I ended up in Shaoyang Peak and could only be an outer disciple."
Guo Qingshan knew very well that if Mu Jingyu was still in the early stage of concentration by the day of the trial, even if the head master wanted to make an exception and keep him in Shaoyang Peak as an outer disciple, I'm afraid that Uncle Songyang and the other leaders would not agree. After all, they had a lot of prejudice against Mu Jingyu because of Mo Yunshen's death. I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will really be driven out of Jiuhua Mountain.
Mu Jingyu looked down at the pill in his hand, smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guo, I know my own practice. Even if I take this pill and barely meet the conditions for entering the inner sect, it will be of no use. What? I still can't change my useless qualifications, I still can't cultivate profound Taoism, I still can't fulfill Uncle Mo's instructions, I still can't go to the Demon Underworld Palace to rescue Bi Yun."
When Mu Jingyu said this, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and a deep sense of powerlessness filled his whole body, as if a huge stone weighing heavily on his chest was pressing down on him, making him unable to breathe.
"Jingyu!" Guo Qingshan shouted, his deep voice filled with pure energy, which immediately woke Mu Jingyu out of suffocation.
"Do you know that everything depends on man? Do you know that man can defeat nature! Although you are not talented now, you can win because you are young. There may be a great opportunity waiting for you in the future. By then, no matter how stupid your talent is, you are too weak. So what. Facing the great opportunity that day, it’s not that difficult.”
Mu Jingyu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Uncle Guo, you also said that there may be great opportunities in the future. Just the word "possible" may turn into an endless fantasy. Besides, it's just me. How could a young man from a small mountain village be so destined to encounter such a great opportunity?"
What Guo Qingshan said was just to ease his heart. Seeing that he didn't have any confidence at all, but instead became more and more depressed, I didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.
He just said sternly, "I don't care how depressed you are now. From today on, you must cheer up! In a few days, I will be ordered to go to Kyushu to go around and deal with some affairs. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with half of the time." The exam will be held in the next month. If you don’t pass the exam smoothly, you can worship at the foot of Master Yunyang’s Feilu Peak. When I return to the mountain, I will definitely not let you off lightly!”
Seeing Mu Jingyu still had an indifferent attitude, and just as he was about to give him some advice, he suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance. He stopped nagging him, just left a few instructions and disappeared into the forest.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, where have you been?" A girl's shout came from not far away.
Mu Jingyu looked down through the mottled tree shadows and saw a pretty girl in purple walking from the martial arts training ground a hundred feet away.
After Mu Jingyu took the pill into his arms, he jumped down from the ancient tree and shouted to the visitor, "Xiaodie, I'm here!" While shouting, he waved to her.
The person who came was none other than Mu Jingyu's sworn sister Shen Mengdie. After hearing Mu Jingyu's voice, she quickly responded and walked towards the direction of the sound.
"Brother Mu, why are you lazy again today? You hide here alone to be quiet, but you make Sister Su very angry."
Mu Jingyu really didn't understand why Su Yingying became obsessed with him after seeing him for the first time. Thinking that Mu Jingyu didn't have a strong family background or a natural talent, he was not even as talented as an ordinary outer disciple. Why did Su Yingying fall in love with herself?
Although in the past three years, Su Yingying had expressed her feelings to him openly and secretly. However, Mu Jingyu already had Bi Yun in his heart, and he also felt that he was not good enough for Su Yingying, so he kept a distance from her by pretending to be stupid.
At this moment, Shen Mengdie heard some reproachful words, but she just smiled and did not answer.
"By the way, you won't be listening to Coach Fan in the martial arts training ground. Why do you have the time to look for me? What's the matter?"
Only then did Shen Mengdie remember the business, and quickly took Mu Jingyu's hand and walked towards the martial arts training ground.
"An uncle came from Feilu Peak just now and came here to look for you. He said that Master Yunyang wanted to ask you to go to Feilu Peak and that he wanted to ask you something."
Mu Jingyu muttered to himself, "Uncle Guo just gave me a pill, and Master Yunyang immediately sent people here to look for me. Could it be that the two of them have discussed it?"
"Brother Mu, what did you just say?" Shen Mengdie asked without hearing clearly what Mu Jingyu just said.
Mu Jingyu shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Where is that uncle? Let's go there quickly. Don't keep him waiting."
The place where Mu Jingyu was lazing around was not too far from the martial arts training ground. After walking only a few steps, I saw a man in white clothes in his twenties standing next to Fan He and Wu Kangnian, constantly pointing at the two teenagers in the field.
"Uncle Fan, Uncle Wu, Brother Mu is here." Shen Mengdie called out loudly, and the three of them turned around and looked at the two of them. Even the teenagers who were originally watching the competition between the two in the field looked at Mu Jingyu and the two after hearing the sound.
Mu Jingyu bowed slightly and saluted, "Master Fan, Master Wu, the disciples are here."
Fan He nodded slightly, pointed to the young man in white beside him and said, "Master just asked Junior Brother Han Lin to come here to look for you. He said that he has some things to ask. You and Junior Brother Han should go to Feilu Peak now."
Han Lin clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Thank you, two senior brothers, for helping me to find Mu Jingyu. I will take him back to Feilu Peak to recover and say goodbye." After Han Lin finished speaking, he greeted Mu Jingyu. With a loud sound, he went to Feilu Peak.
Feilu Peak and Shaoyang Peak were not too far apart. Mu Jingyu followed Han Lin and walked for half an hour before reaching the halfway point of Feilu Peak and arriving at the place where Master Yunyang took him down. in front of the palace.
The palace at Feilu Peak is called Feilai Pavilion. Among the eight peaks in Jiuhua Mountain, it is the lowest in terms of size and grandeur. It's all because Yunyang Zhenren has an indifferent nature, and most of his disciples are humble and frugal people. Therefore, Feilai Pavilion also looks a little shabby.
At this moment, in the squares on both sides of Feilai Pavilion, many disciples of Feilu Peak were competing with each other. Han Lin led Mu Jingyu through the crowd and arrived in front of the main hall of Feilai Pavilion.
"Master, he is waiting for you in the Luoxia Palace right now. You should go in now."
Han Lin pushed open the heavy palace door, revealing a gap as wide as one person, and signaled Mu Jingyu to walk in.
Although it is called Luoxia Hall, from the outside it looks like it is only a little larger than an ordinary room. It is far inferior to the huge Qingxiao Palace on Tianjue Peak.
The palace door was closed by Han Lin from the outside, blocking out the dazzling sunlight. But in the Luoxia Palace, the sun was still shining brightly, making the entire hall a bright red.
At this moment, Master Yunyang was sitting in the center of the hall, sitting cross-legged on a green futon, practicing with his eyes closed. Zhou Wenyi stood beside Master Yunyang with his hands tied. When he saw Mu Jingyu entering the hall, he softly woke up Master Yunyang.
"Disciple pays homage to Master Yunyang, Master Zhou."
In the past three years since entering Shaoyang Peak, these two have taken the most care of him. Therefore, every time Mu Jingyu sees them, he is respectful.
"Jingyu is here, you don't have to stand there anymore. Wenyi, just go and bring a stool and put it next to me." After giving instructions to Zhou Wenyi, Master Yunyang waved to Mu. Jingyu came to him.
"Jingyu, please sit next to Master." Zhou Wenyi moved a chair over, placed it next to Master Yunyang, and pulled Mu Jingyu to sit on it.
Just after he sat down, Master Yunyang pressed his finger on Mu Jingyu's pulse and gently stroked his snow-white beard with his other hand. After a while, he said, "It's been a little over half a year since I last checked your cultivation. Why haven't you made any progress?"
Mu Jingyu said with a grimace, "Master, it's not like you don't know about this kid's qualifications. I want to work hard to improve my practice, but no matter how hard I try, it doesn't have any effect."
Master Yunyang chuckled and said, "I heard from Qingshan that he obtained a Qi-Gathering and Pulse-Building Pill for you from Gu Shakong, the great disciple of Yaowang Valley. As long as you can reach the middle stage of concentration in the assessment, So, I will accept you into Feilu Peak."
Then, the conversation changed and he said, "Although I, Fei Lufeng, can be considered an inner disciple of Jiuhua Mountain, my master is now old and does not have much experience in disciplining his disciples. I will leave all matters to you, Master Zhou." If you are included in Feilu Peak, it will not be of much benefit to your future practice."
When Mu Jingyu heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. From now on, since Uncle Guo has made an agreement with Master Yunyang, as long as he reaches the middle stage of concentration, he will be admitted to Feilu Peak. Besides, both Master Yunyang and Zhou Wenyi take good care of him, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to worship at the foot of Feilu Peak.
However, judging by the tone of Master Yunyang, it seems that he doesn't want to take him into his sect? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. He secretly mocked, "Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, I didn't expect that now, even Master Yunyang, who has always taken good care of me, is not willing to take care of me."
