On this day, Ye Ling stopped going out to practice alone and suggested to the four people in Qingzhuyuan:
"In more than a month, the outer disciple competition will begin! If you want to practice in the Changxi wilderness, continue. I am going back to Yaogu Qingzhuyuan to practice in seclusion. If you have nothing important to do, don't disturb me. Farewell!"
Ye Ling informed everyone and left calmly.
Meng Chang responded hurriedly: "That's right! We have been practicing in the Changxi wilderness for more than twenty days, and my cultivation is about to break through to the second level of Qi training. Hehe, I will go back to retreat too! Brother Ye is waiting for me. "
He Jingsheng nodded thoughtfully, and finally said firmly: "Yes! Seclusion! He swears that he will never leave seclusion until he reaches the third level of Qi training!"
Zishan and Suqin looked at each other and made up their minds: "Okay, as Senior Brother He said, we two sisters are practicing in seclusion and will not leave until the third level of Qi training."
In the following days, everyone stayed in seclusion all day long, and Yaogu Qingzhuyuan was much cleaner than before.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the day for the Yao Valley Outer Disciple Competition is getting closer and closer.
One day, the door of a room in Qingzhu Courtyard suddenly opened, and the first person to come out was He Jingsheng, who had reached the third level of Qi training!
After two or three days, Suqin and Zishan came out of seclusion one after another, and they both reached the third level of Qi training!
On the eve of the competition, Meng Chang came out of seclusion with his head downcast and a bitter look on his face. His cultivation was fixed at the second level of Qi training, which made him distressed.
Meng Changqiang smiled and congratulated the three senior brothers and sisters who had advanced to the third level of Qi training. He looked back at Ye Ling's closed door with a look of confusion on his face.
"Where's Brother Ye? Tomorrow is the competition for the outer disciples, and he's still in seclusion?"
Everyone was startled, Zishan was a little worried:
"Do you want me to call Brother Ye out? Don't miss the date of the outer sect competition!"
Su Qin said calmly: "Don't go! Just let Ye Ling stay in seclusion forever. With his ordinary qualifications, even if he stays in seclusion for another two months, he won't be able to reach the second level of Qi training! Can he go outside? It’s nothing to do with the disciple competition, at most I just went to watch the excitement.”
Meng Chang looked bitter and sighed: "Ahem, that's fine! We have thousands of outer disciples of Yaogu Sect. Every year, in the competition between outer disciples, only the top thirty can be promoted to inner disciples. ! Without the third level of Qi training, there is no chance at all! Hey, not just Brother Ye, even I can only join in the fun. It seems that if I want to enter the inner sect, I have to find another way."
At this moment, there was a deep cough outside Qingzhu Courtyard, and a figure in a moon-white satin gown that they were very familiar with appeared! After returning from the dusty journey, his whole body exudes a compelling evil spirit!
"Ye Ling!"
He Jingsheng raised his eyebrows and was shocked by the evil aura on Ye Ling's body! He quickly dispersed his consciousness and looked at Ye Ling carefully. Seeing that he was still at the first level of Qi training, he couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Ye! Didn't you go into seclusion? Where did you come from? Have you killed many monsters of the same level! Otherwise, this amazing evil aura wouldn't appear on your body!"
Zishan was also horrified by the evil Brother Ye, but when she saw Brother Ye's cultivation, she still sighed and showed great sympathy in her big eyes.
Meng Chang and Su Qin looked at Ye Ling, who seemed familiar yet strange at the same time, feeling a little lost. It seems that Ye Ling has more than just this evil spirit! It's a little more cold and a little more mysterious! It’s puzzling!
Ye Ling smiled calmly at them: "I have been out of seclusion for a long time. If I have nothing to do, I will go to Fengqiao Town or Changxi Wilderness to collect medicine to kill monsters! It's just that this evil aura on my body cannot be removed no matter how I cover it or clean it. It will gradually dissipate over time!"
Su Qin snorted coldly and said coldly: "You are smart! Knowing that there is no hope of seclusion to attack the second level of Qi training, you go outside to practice more. However, there is a two-level difference between the cultivation level of the first level of Qi training and the third level of Qi training. The strength is worlds apart! No matter how much you practice, you are still no match for me! Even if you want to defeat Junior Brother Meng who is on the second level of Qi training, it will be extremely difficult!"
Ye Ling sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm and indifferent. He nodded and agreed.
How could they know! At the beginning of Ye Ling's retreat last month, by turning on the star crystal in the jade pendant of the Immortal Mansion, her cultivation soared from the second level of Qi training to the third level of Qi training in just a few hours!
At that time, Ye Ling was surprised to find that the boundary monument of the Immortal Mansion's Zhaixing Cliff showed his cultivation level at the third level of Qi training; his longevity was four years longer than that at the second level, reaching eighty-eight; and the row of star crystals, Marked: Star Crystal, empty, nourishes the mind, recovery takes forty-five days. It was fifteen days longer than the thirty days of recovery at the second level of Qi training.
Therefore, if Ye Ling wanted to reach the fourth level of Qi training and enter the middle stage of Qi training, he would have to wait at least half a month for the competition between the outer disciples to be completed.
Even so, Ye Ling has consolidated the third level of Qi training in these days, constantly practicing in the Changxi wilderness, and obtained many top-quality magic weapons and spiritual weapons in Fengqiao Town Market, even at the expense of Buy a top-quality sapphire ring that resists spell attacks at a big price, and a Yunlan amulet that resists powerful attacks! It can be said that all the equipment on the body is top-notch!
In order to hide it in daily life and use it instantly in battle, Ye Ling neither wore these top-quality equipment on his body nor put them into storage bags, but temporarily stored them in the Immortal Palace Jade Perry! As long as your mind moves, you can equip it at any time!
The five people from Qingzhuyuan reunited. He Jingsheng, Suqin and Zishan all had the strength to compete with the top thirty outer disciples. Naturally, they couldn't help but congratulate and encourage each other. Ye Ling looked calm, neither happy nor worried. Only Meng Chang had a frown on his face and resigned first, saying that he would go back to the Meng Cultivation Family to see if there was any improvement.
After he left, He Jingsheng said with a smile: "No need to ask, Brother Meng went back to the family to ask for help. Most likely he wanted to bribe a certain foundation-building elder to see if he could be directly selected into the army without passing the outer disciple competition. Inner door.”
Suqin immediately shook her head and questioned:
"How is that possible! According to the sect's practice, before the competition between the outer sect disciples, the sect master and the elders must first check the spiritual root qualifications of all the outer sect disciples. There are eighty-one spiritual root attributes, and only one spiritual root attribute exceeds four Only those with ten points can be directly promoted to inner disciples without participating in the outer disciple competition! I remember that Junior Brother Meng’s highest earth spirit root attribute is only about twenty points. Even if a certain elder is partial, it can’t be hidden from the sect master’s discernment! "
Ye Ling smiled calmly: "Perhaps Brother Meng is rushing to be the medicine boy of a certain foundation-building elder. In this case, he has a good chance of becoming a handyman disciple of the inner sect!"
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement. After talking for a while, they all went back to the house to meditate and rest, trying to keep their physical strength at its peak during tomorrow's competition.
Early the next morning, it was the day of the competition between the outer disciples of Yaogu Sect.
More than a thousand outer sect disciples in the Medicine Valley poured into the Taoist altar in front of the sect's main hall from all directions!
Before dawn, thousands of outer sect disciples gathered on the vast Taoist altar, as well as hundreds of inner sect disciples who came to watch the excitement, waiting for the arrival of the sect master and elders.
Ye Ling, He Jingsheng, Su Qin, and Zi Shan also squeezed in. Compared with Ye Ling's mediocre cultivation, which was suppressed at the first level of Qi training, He Jingsheng and the others were extremely prosperous.
Among the more than a thousand outer disciples of the Yaogu Sect, there are only more than 120 who have reached the third level of Qi training. Qingzhuyuan has three of them, which is enough to make the surrounding disciples envious!
Especially He Jingsheng, the young master of the He family who cultivates immortality, is distinguished and handsome.
Many female disciples from the outer sect pointed at He Jingsheng and talked secretly. They were very optimistic about the young master of the He family breaking into the ranks of the outer sect disciples. Some of the female cultivators even had a blush on their faces and looked shy. Come up and say a few compliments.
He Jingsheng was naturally in a state of excitement and overwhelmed. He planned to show off to his fellow disciples in Qingzhuyuan, but when he saw Suqin and Zishan, who were also at the third level of Qi training, and even many inner disciples came to pursue them, they all came up to chat with them!
"Brother, please give me your teacher sister's name. Can you give me a reward? She is just like a heavenly being, an ice and snow fairy!"
"Dare I ask how old this junior sister is? Tsk tsk, she is so beautiful and cute! Brother Yu is the inner disciple Yang Zhong, a descendant of the Yang family's cultivating immortal family. I think the junior sister definitely has the potential to compete for the top thirty in the outer sect competition. No, no, even Top ten! From now on, our senior brothers and sisters will stay closer and closer."
Suqin and Zishan's pretty faces darkened when they were approached by these inner disciples, with displeasure on their faces. Suqin was used to being cold and frosty, and even the lively and active Zishan was indifferent to them.
He Jingsheng sighed and thought to himself: "Comparing people with each other will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will help. Why don't I, the young master of the He family's immortal cultivating family, have no favors from the inner sect's female cultivators? Even if he has a bright eye, it's still a shame. OK!"
But when he glanced back, he saw Ye Ling standing in front of him like a green leaf, and his shattered self-confidence instantly returned.
He Jingsheng smiled proudly and said: "Brother Ye, today's outer disciple competition, your cultivation level is too low, and you will obviously be eliminated in the first round. However, if you carefully observe our fighting experience, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation." Benefits! Remember to cheer for brother Wei! After brother Wei has entered the inner sect, I will introduce you to a few female disciples from the outer sect, hahaha!"
Ye Ling sneered in his heart, but his expression was calm and natural, neither happy nor angry, and he nodded indifferently. The only thing that caught Ye Ling's attention was the astonishing evil spirit emanating from his whole body, which made people palpitate!
Even many outer disciples were frightened away by his evil aura. Looking at Ye Ling's meager level of Qi training, they all showed extremely confused and doubtful expressions on their faces.
At six o'clock in the morning, more than a dozen sword lights flew from the Yaogu Sect's main hall! It is the sect master and the elders who are coming to the Taoist altar!
The thousands of outer sect disciples on the Taoist altar were excited and excited, with extremely reverential expressions in their eyes!
In their opinion, those who are strong in the foundation building stage are out of reach!
However, in Ye Ling's star-like eyes, there was a faint flash of cold light!
His eyes were fixed on the familiar figure of a middle-aged elder in Tsing Yi with thick eyebrows and a big face. He was none other than the old fox Zhou Chong in the early stages of foundation building!
