The night was already deep, but the last quarter moon was still bright.
In a cave a few dozen miles away from Yi Yuan, Zhou Renxing was sitting in the cave with anger still on his face. He had just contacted his god-forming ancestor, and the late-stage Qi-refining disciple who had occupied his cave when he first arrived would not participate in the challenge this time. I just told him that in next year’s challenge, we will arrange on-site inspections for our own Golden Core masters, so he shouldn’t be impatient.
Zhou Renxing didn't want to wait until the next time he was arranged to leave the cave, so he didn't dare to speak. After asking around today, I found out that I was just a newcomer in the late stage of Qi refining and felt that I had been insulted. Even though the other party's background was a bit tough, as long as no one was killed, it was still okay to find someone to repair it.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Renxing had another idea: There was a disciple at Sunset Peak who was at the peak of Qi refining and wanted to join his camp. Let him try Yi Yuan later and also check him out.
Then, Zhou Renxing went to the practice room with a calm face and meditated.
Outside Yi Yuandong Mansion, looking at Shangguan Lang who was silent, he felt that the other party had something to say to him. So he changed the spiritual tea again, poured hot water on it, and waited for the other party to speak.
After a while, Shangguan Lang told Yi Yuan his current situation, and then observed in secret.
Yi Yuan was also helpless. He really couldn't help but make the final decision. He made up his mind to go back and ask his senior sister what to do?
Shangguan Lang sighed secretly in his heart, as expected, those who can enter here to practice are firm-minded and have extraordinary qualifications. In the later stage of Qi refining, you may face challenges in the foundation building stage and still remain calm. It seems that you are worrying too much.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, who are the top ten foundation-building core disciples you mentioned before? Can you introduce them in detail?" Yi Yuan was very interested in this.
Speaking of this, Shangguan Lang's eyes suddenly shone, and he couldn't wait to speak: "Number one: Jiang Yi, wood spirit body, nineteen years old, at the peak of foundation building, unparalleled in combat power."
"By the way, the leader of our Shangqing Sect also has the surname Jiang. He is very optimistic about Jiang Yi as he is in the late stage of becoming a god." Shangguan Lang added, and Yi Yuan kept it in his heart. He must be from the same family as the leader.
"Second place: Shangguan Xue, water spirit body, eighteen years old, in the late stage of foundation building. There is a poem to prove it: dressed in white, it is better than snow, with a graceful and unparalleled figure."
Yi Yuan looked at Shangguan Lang's proud expression and felt that Shangguan Xue had something to do with him. He interrupted him and asked, "What is your relationship with her?"
"That's my sister!" Shangguan Lang was very proud. In just a few years, he had reached the second place among the core disciples. He was indeed something to be proud of.
"I will take some time to introduce you to you later." Shangguan Lang was a little shy.
Yi Yuan nodded and motioned for Shangguan Lang to continue.
"Third place: Zhou Jinchu, pseudo-gold spirit body, twenty-two years old, peak foundation building, sword master, super attack power. His younger brother Zhou Renxing, a disciple of the Zhou family of the Shangqing sect." Shangguan Lang spoke very slowly, he was observing The look on Yi Yuan's face made him continue talking when he saw no response.
"Fourth place: Lei Fan, a top-notch spiritual root with thunder attributes. He is twenty-six years old. He was born as a casual cultivator. He is very domineering in the art of drawing lightning."
"Fifth place: Chen Hao, a top-grade fire attribute spiritual root. He is over 160 years old. He is at the peak of foundation building. He is good at alchemy. He comes from a noble family in Pingyuan City."
"Sixth place: Liu Hai, the best fire attribute spiritual root, more than 240 years old, at the peak of foundation building, and has been a core disciple for many years. This year he was directly promoted to sixth place, a blockbuster. It is said that he is preparing for promotion to the golden elixir stage, too. Born as a casual cultivator."
"Seventh place: Ye Xiaoming, nineteen years old, suspected of being an innate spiritual body, in the late stage of foundation building, born as a mortal. He was brought back from the human world by the master at the age of thirteen, majoring in Shangqing Taoism, and has been practicing for six years now."
Innate spirits need to be known in the future, and Yi Yuan feels that they seem to be destined to him.
"Eighth place: Ying Yueyan, nineteen years old, in the late stage of foundation building, suspected to have a special physique, and suspected to be from the royal family of the Daqi Dynasty. There are poems to prove it: the red dress and crimson snow are unparalleled, and the charming bones are made into an exquisite body."
"Ninth place: Zhou Renxing, 20 years old, pseudo-earth spirit body, late stage of foundation building, a disciple of the Zhou family, a bit arrogant, not at a disadvantage." Shangguan Lang nodded secretly.
Yi Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and waited for him to introduce the next one.
The last one, Shangguan Lang pointed to himself sheepishly.
If Shangguan Lang hadn't said this information, it would have taken him a long time to find out. Yi Yuan felt that this person was indeed someone he could make friends with.
It seems that I have to speed up my practice. From the late stage of Qi refining to the peak of Qi refining, I don't know how many resources are needed. well! Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
The last quarter moon hangs low, and the crescent moon smiles at the stars in the east.
The tea had cooled down, so Yi Yuan added some more hot water. Shangguan Lang drank half the cup in one gulp, and then continued: "That's all that's worth noting. Don't pay too much attention to the rest."
With his current cultivation, background and status, he basically doesn't need to pay too much attention during the foundation building period.
But Yi Yuan knew in his heart that he might have some background in the late stage of Qi refining, but the rest was really far behind. The key is that the advancement is too slow. It is hard to say whether one can reach the peak of Qi refining in one year.
It's all good when you're at home, but when you're outside, you realize that there's a big gap between you and others.
Grandpa Jiang once said: "You can only become a master if you endure hardships." He will never slack off. They are still waiting for him at home. Yi Yuan quickly strengthened his belief.
Shangguan Lang took another sip of tea and told Yi Yuan: "The sect has tasks every year. Disciples in the foundation-building stage must kill a foundation-building monster in exchange for sect task points; disciples in the qi-refining stage must kill the corresponding monster. Demonic beasts in the innate stage; the same is true in the golden elixir stage.”
"The Qinglong Mountain Range is vast and boundless, and there are countless monsters bred in it. But don't worry, these are basically kept in captivity for human monks to hunt and kill, and to provide training resources and experience."
"There are many practicing sects in the entire Qinglong Mountains, about dozens of them. The top one is our Shangqing Sect, which is ranked second; the first one is the Qinglong Sect, which is located in the east of the Qinglong Mountains and covers a very large area. The sect There is a small group of people who have transformed into monsters and practiced cultivation. It is said that the number of disciples is much larger than that of our Shangqing sect; the third one is the Yinxian Sect, which is located in the northernmost part of the Qinglong Mountains. It is too far away and we don’t know much about it, but the disciples of the sect It is said that there are tens of thousands.”
Even Shangguan Lang knew some secret things. The advantage of being from a sect was still relatively large, so Yi Yuan secretly compared it.
Seeing that it was indeed getting very late, Shangguan Lang felt a little embarrassed. He had just talked about so much today. The other party patiently listened to what he had to say. He was also very happy in his heart. He considered him a confidant and would walk around more in the future. He felt that he could judge people fairly accurately.
After Shangguan Lang returned to the cave, Yi Yuan also returned to the training room, feeling that this person was indeed someone he could make friends with.
It was still too slow to practice meditation. He took out the alchemy experience given by his master and soaked it with his spiritual thoughts... After half a day, Yi Yuan sighed. Alchemy can be divided into three parts.
First, understand the spiritual herbs, the growth environment of each spiritual grass, and then plant, pick, and preserve them. There are many types. Yi Yuan has studied medicine, but he can only recognize a small part. It is estimated that it will take several days to memorize them all; secondly, get There are fire attribute spiritual roots, plus the fire control art; and finally, the elixir.
Yi Yuan thought for a moment, it was easy to remember the spiritual grass with a little effort; the fire control art, the nine-turn divine fire art given by the master has not yet been practiced, so he will ask the master later; the master should not be short of pill prescriptions.
Having made up his mind, Yi Yuan took out the Nine Turns Divine Fire Jue, entered his mind into the jade sign, and studied it carefully.
