In the pure white space, Hong Butian's eyes were tightly closed.
His hands were placed on his legs, each holding a low-grade spiritual stone. The blood and energy in his body continued to surge, and his body temperature rose rapidly.
"Pay attention, activate the qi and blood, try to pull the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, just a small wisp is enough, don't be too hasty."
The solemn voice of the ring sounded in Hong Butian's ears: "Slowly pull the spiritual energy and follow the route I taught you before. There must be no deviation, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!
When you encounter obstacles, don't think about how you can break through with more effort. That will only prove that you are going the wrong way!
At that time, you should turn away without hesitation, otherwise you will either become obsessed or die! "
"Um!"
Hong Butian remembered the great elder's words, but at this time he was extremely focused and could only make a heavy nasal noise and stopped talking.
The first step is to guide the relatively solid spiritual energy in the spirit stone. Hong Butian always couldn't figure it out at first. He thought that if he crushed the spirit stone, the spiritual energy would come out, so he used both hands to exert force, but it was of no use.
Fortunately, the great elder gave timely advice and told Hong Butian not to try to forcefully destroy it from the outside, but to guide the spiritual energy to leak out from the inside...
Not long after, fine cold sweat covered his forehead, and Hong Buyian's body even began to tremble slightly. His clothes were completely soaked and stuck to his body, but he still had no use.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the spiritual energy seemed to be an afterthought and finally responded to his call.
A wisp of spiritual energy was really just a small wisp, and even so, controlling it already made Hong Butian feel exhausted.
But this is far from the end, or in other words, the most important step has just begun. The meridians circulate the spiritual energy and turn it into one's own spiritual power. There can be no mistakes during this period.
It can be slow, but it cannot be wrong.
"..."
"..."
"It's the seventh day."
The ring suddenly spoke: "Open your mouth."
When Hong Butian heard the words, he spoke, and the light on the ring flashed, and a pill made from herbs was thrown into the former's mouth, and it melted in his mouth.
"..."
"The fourteenth day."
"..."
"Twenty-one."
"..."
"On the twenty-eighth, speak up."
This time Hong Butian did not speak after hearing the words. The blood and energy in his body suddenly began to surge violently, and veins popped up on his forehead: "Ah, drink!"
"Kacha."
The two spiritual stones in his hand shattered and then turned into powder.
As if reaching a limit, Hong Butian's aura gradually began to stabilize. After another half day, he opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, but there was no sign of depression.
"congratulations!"
Ring happily congratulated: "Successfully reached the Qi refining stage and became a monk in the true sense. Although he is still very weak, he can be called an immortal among the common people after learning a few magic moves."
"Thanks for the help!"
Hong Butian thanked her sincerely: "I will definitely complete what I promised you!"
"As for the Immortal..."
Hong Butian showed a self-deprecating smile: "The last one named Xian Chang was beaten to death by my younger brother and sister with a bench."
ring:"……"
"That's just a special situation..."
Ring coughed twice: "That weasel underestimated the enemy too much, otherwise he wouldn't be so helpless."
"But death is death, no matter how many excuses you find, it will be useless."
Hong Butian shook his head and said with emotion: "Xiaoli Xiaoyang is the real genius. My cousin has been practicing in the Five Elements Sect for nearly a year, and now I don't know how powerful she can be."
"Hey, hey, please don't mention the Five Elements Sect again, please!"
Ring said angrily: "When you arrive at Yaowang Sect, you will be the disciple of the great elder of Yaowang Sect, and the resource supply you will receive is definitely not comparable to that of a new disciple of Five Elements Sect.
By then, it won’t be a problem for you to surpass your cousin in cultivation, right?
What you should be competing against are the real geniuses, the young talents from various sects..."
After a pause, Ring changed his tone: "Besides, it's not certain whether your sister has succeeded in refining her Qi!
There is no time to practice. What can you do in one year? Nothing can be done! "
"Hey, I can't help you if you don't like the Five Elements Sect, but why do you make such assumptions about my little sister?"
Hong Butian retorted unconvinced: "I heard from my uncle and aunt that Xiaoli was so prosperous there that all the ministers and elders had to give her some face!
If she hadn't been unwilling, those elders would have begged her to become the leader of the sect! "
"laugh."
Ring couldn't help but sneered: "I'm not trying to hit you. You can tell that the little girl made up those words. It's understandable to report good news but not bad news.
However, if you say that a disciple who has just started for less than a year can make the elders give him face and talk about succeeding as the leader of the sect, then you are laughing your head off. Do you know how many years the position of the leader of the Five Elements Sect has been vacant? "
"In addition, as far as I know, every batch of disciples recruited by the Five Elements Sect will lose many people, and those who have not been able to successfully refine their Qi within a year."
Ring speculated in a thief voice: "Perhaps your little sister will be kicked off when one year is up?
You may not know that the Five Elements Sect's airships, in addition to picking up new disciples to the sect, also have the task of sending dismissed disciples home.
Wait two months... Oh, no, after the sealing of the Five Elements Sect is over, maybe you can see your sister being sent back on the airship? "
"this……"
When Hong Butian heard the ring's words, he was a little unsure for a moment.
He had just entered the Qi refining stage, and he knew the difficulties all too well, and there was also a senior monk here who was suspected to be the elder of the Medicine King Sect to give him guidance, and he was able to overcome this hurdle without any danger.
But if it's Xiaoli...
The registered disciples who have just started will definitely not be able to get the guidance of the Golden Core Stage monks like him, plus Xiaoli's lazy character...
"I seem to have vaguely heard Uncle Xiaochen say..."
Hong Butian frowned: "He said it won't be long before Xiaoli will come back to get married, and he teased me about when I would find a partner..."
"Look, look, I'll tell you."
Ring said as expected: "That girl is probably disillusioned with her spiritual practice, and has already begun to think about coming back to raise her husband and raise children, just like most mortals, and live a boring and short life."
"how come……"
Hong Butian was a little unbelievable: "My sister's talent far exceeds mine. She will definitely achieve great things in the future. How can she become mediocre like you said?"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"I can only say that it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."
Ring said with emotion: "Encounters in life are different. It doesn't depend on who has strong abilities, that person will definitely be able to make a difference. There will always be various factors affecting her growth."
"certainly……"
Ring changed his voice and said with a smile: "I will protect you from now on. When you succeed in cultivation, you can also support your own family.
By then, if your cousin has not been demoralized by life and reality, you can give her another chance. "
"..."
Hong Butian was silent for a while, then raised his head with determination on his face.
"I know, I will work hard to practice and strive to become a great monk who can support my family, not only Xiaoli, but also other relatives and friends who care about me..."
"As long as you are ambitious, let's go out now. I have put the rest of the things here into the ring. Some of them can replenish the power I have consumed, and the rest will be kept for you."
The ring's voice was pleasant: "Now, let me point you in the direction of Yaowang Sect..."
………
On the Five Elements Sect airship, Hong Li suddenly frowned: "Huh? Is anyone talking about me?"
Shadows floated around her, and there seemed to be a ferocious demonic figure showing its teeth and claws.
"Hmm, but there doesn't seem to be any malice, and there's still a hint of concern?"
Hongli scratched her cheek, looked in a certain direction, and suddenly realized: "Oh, that's my hometown over there. It's okay. I guess my family is thinking about me. The alarm is off!"
The shadows dispersed like an ebbing tide.

"Well, it turns out it's a magical power that can't be used randomly..."
Hong Li pushed up her sunglasses, lay on her back on the airship, and looked at the clear blue sky.
“Playing with things loses one’s morale, and playing with people loses one’s morality.
Modifying people's personalities at will should be said to be a demon. If you get used to that kind of method, you will become a big bad guy...
Well, I just need to play with things to lose my mind. If I play with people... Black Sun? Cough cough cough! I didn't say anything! "
