The seventy-seven and forty-nine days in Longquan Xiaodongtian are only more than four hours in the outside world.
From dawn to dusk, Xie Xiangcai had been sitting in the furnace that was constantly being burned by golden flames. The sweat all over his body was like an uncontrollable stream. However, the moment the sweat slid down his skin, it was burned away by the astonishing high temperature.
The strange thing is that the golden flame, which can easily smelt gold, silver, copper and iron, can never evaporate the pure liquid under the young man.
At a certain moment, the space above Xie Xiangcai's head, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly fluctuated, and countless light cyan clouds came from all directions of the barrier and condensed in the mid-air.
Immediately, the old man who was lying on his back in the wheat field suddenly stood up, jumped up to the furnace, and slapped his palms heavily on the furnace wall.
There was a "bang" sound, and the golden flame under the furnace quickly extinguished. The old man grabbed a handful of burnt black powder and smeared it on Xie Xiangcai's naked body without hesitation.
The old man took advantage of the fact that the temperature inside the cauldron had not dissipated, and grabbed another cauldron of similar size and appearance out of thin air, and placed it upside down on top of the previous one, completely isolating Xie Xiangcai's body from the outside world.
In the wheat field not far away, a white-haired figure suddenly appeared. The boy-looking Hu Jie looked solemn for the first time at this moment. Although he did not speak, his voice came to the old man's ears.
"Old Ou, let's try it?"
The old man Gujing Wubo's eyes became extremely solemn at this moment. He and Hu Jie's eyes intertwined, and then he nodded heavily and raised his fists. In an instant, all the original power of the cave was concentrated on his fists.
Two fists were thrust out at the same time, and what followed was the well-constructed small cave sky that collapsed.
Hu Jie stood there and watched from a distance, his heartbeat quietly speeding up.
The fist penetrated the furnace wall and swept into the Baihui area of Xie Xiangcai.
The energy flowed between the upper Baihui, the center, the upper dantian, and the lower dantian, opening up the blocked meridians in the young man's body.
The moment the meridians were completely opened, Xie Xiang spit out a large mouthful of black blood, and then his whole body was shrouded in golden light. The three inches of golden light above his head broke through the shackles, and the dome of the broken heaven and earth formed a golden dharma form hundreds of feet tall.
The old man stepped back until he came to Hu Jie's side. Then he stopped and looked around, feeling shocked in his heart.
Hu Jie smiled slightly and said, "It seems that your third punch is worth it."
The old man pondered for a moment and then said, "Lao Qi's muscles and talents are better than this Xie Xiangcai, so why are you placing all your bets on him?"
Hu Jie stopped his smile and said seriously, "If I say it's my feeling, would you believe it?"
The old man nodded lightly without hesitation.
"I don't know why, but I feel that way too."
"Then why the hell are you asking me?"
"Hey, this damn..."
As the words fell, the two of them laughed at the same time.
At this moment, Longquan Cave Heaven completely collapsed and shattered.
In Longquan Alley, a ray of spiritual consciousness quickly flew out of the barrier and penetrated into the body of Xie Xiangcai, who had been standing still for a long time.
He was startled and suddenly came back to his senses.
Within Wu Gen, the original power starts over and over again, secretly following an extremely subtle path.
Everything in the cave is clearly visible to the mind.
The boy subconsciously looked toward the end of the alley, where it was no longer pitch black.
At the end of the alley, a short, stooped old man was sitting on an old wooden bench, with a few pieces of scrap metal placed on the rag in front of him.
The old man seemed to have noticed the young man's gaze, and tilted his head slightly to look at him, his eyes unwavering.
Xie Xiangcai took a deep breath, bowed to the old man, and then tapped the ground with his soles.
The sole of his foot just tapped the ground, and an unknown force emerged from the void beneath his feet, lifting the young man's body a little higher. If he injected a little more energy, he could walk in the air.
Xie Xiangcai knew clearly in his heart that breaking through the realm after being depressed for a long time also meant that he had completely crossed the threshold of the four realms and entered the five realms of harmony where he could establish a sect.
Although the Huran Realm cannot yet traverse the void like the Sixth Realm of Tiancheng Realm, it can still achieve a short-term stagnation.
At this time, a flash of light flashed through the young man's mind, and he recalled the wind-control technique taught to him by the seventh senior brother when he sent him to Qingmeng City.
Just do whatever you want, Xie Xiangcai had a thought in his mind, recalling the words of the seventh senior brother, the four words "enough is enough" became more and more obvious.
On the street, passers-by walking back and forth looked up at the figure of the young man flying out into the distance on the breeze through the lights on both sides, and clapped their hands and cheered.

Xie Xiangcai just returned to the school early the next morning. He sneaked into the sword-raising pavilion and changed into the elder's robe while no one was around. He got ready and rushed to the sword training hall.
Outside the path, Yue Ying hid in the gaps between the bamboos, waiting for Xie Xiang to come out and give him a big shock.
As everyone knows, Prime Minister Xie noticed Yue Ying hiding there just a dozen steps away.
However, the young man didn't want to spoil the girl's fun, so he turned a blind eye and walked straight out.
"Hey!"
Yueying jumped out and came to Xie Xiangcai.
Xie Xiangcai pretended to be pale and took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.
Yue Ying smiled like a flower and jumped to Xie Xiangcai's side. She turned her head to look at him, covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Xie Xiangcai, the elder asked me to test my root and bone qualifications and practice attributes. I don't know where to go. You Can you lead me?"
Xie Xiangcai nodded heavily without hesitation.
Yueying skipped forward, and just when the two were about to walk out of Qingqiong, she bent down and picked a dandelion from the ground, twisted it in her hands, and waved it in front of Xie Xiangcai's eyes.
Xie Xiangcai narrowed his eyes and took a big breath at the dandelion while the other party was not prepared. , petals of dandelions fluttered in the wind, lingering above the two of them.
The girl gently placed the dandelion pole on the ground, and her expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Xie Xiangcai and asked aloud, "Xie Xiangcai, have you taken anything seriously in the past sixteen years, or...a... people?"
The young man was startled when he heard the words. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly. After hesitating for a while, he nodded again.
The girl said "Oh", then turned around and stood on tiptoe to look at the towering pavilion not far away.
"Mama Lou said that the most precious thing in the world is true love. Do you think this is true?"
The boy didn't know why the girl suddenly said these things, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was true.
True love is precious.
Xie Xiangcai has seen a lot along the way.
Yin and Qing are round and missing, the mind feels something, and the body feels something.
Brother Seventh once said a poem to himself when he was drunk, which was called "There are 80,000 words in the world, but the word love is the most hurtful."
What is love, what is love, why is love, why is love.
The young man has never experienced the feeling of being trapped in love and depressed, so he has no confidence to slap his chest and say "I am the same" in front of the Seventh Senior Brother.
Xie Xiangcai, who was not a heavy drinker, told the story of how he had been punched to the ground during a wedding robbery in a restaurant when he and his seventh brother were talking all night long. However, after hearing this, the seventh brother said with a serious face that it was not love. .
In the past few months, the young man had occasionally thought about the meaning of Brother Seventh's words. It seemed that it was really not true. If he really forced himself, the relationship between him and Ziyun would be just... a coincidence.
In other words...cooked rice?
However, the young man pressed it again, and found out that he was not yet mature!
Yue Ying looked at Xie Xiangcai, who was deep in thought, with wide eyes. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she stretched out two fingers and pinched his nose hard.
Xie Xiangcai came back to his senses immediately, looked at the girl in front of him with red cheeks, cleared his throat, looked forward and said, "Miss Yueying, let's go to the Sutra Pavilion. Elder Qiu who guards the pavilion should be able to help you with the test. "
Yueying nodded slightly, but her tone was a little unhappy, "When can we remove the word 'girl'?"
Xie Xiangcai scratched his head and said, "Immediately."
Yue Ying narrowed her eyes and nodded, holding Xie Xiangcai's sleeve with her fair hands, and walked towards the path leading to the Sutra Pavilion.
The young man was in a daze for a while, feeling that his life was wonderful after leaving the Northern Territory.
There are senior brothers who preach and teach and solve doubts, there are confidants who drink and talk and have fun, there are masters who punch, kick and curse, and there are also young girls who have a delicate relationship with them. Occasionally, when they meet, they say a few heart-felt words, and then turn away from each other with blushing faces. Pretend to be doing nothing.
The most beautiful thing in life is youth.
When he was drinking in the first moonlight, Prime Minister Xie heard this complete sentence from the Seventh Senior Brother.
But as time went by, he only remembered the first half of the sentence, and could never remember the other half.

Xie Xiangcai led Yue Ying through several criss-crossing paths, and finally stopped in front of a semicircular square. Behind the square was the towering Sutra Pavilion.
On the plaque of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, there are two big Chinese characters written with flying dragons and phoenixes - Khan Niu. The font is quite familiar, but extremely ugly.
If these two words were not written by the city lord himself, I am afraid that he would have been slapped down with curses and curses, and he would have had to spit before leaving.
My cheap master always said that "a real man doesn't stick to trivial matters". Although he looks fair and clean, in fact, sometimes he doesn't even take a shower or change clothes for several days. If it weren't for the third senior brother who has been serving him, I guess he The old man has long since turned back into that bad old man!
Xie Xiangcai took his eyes away from the plaque and shifted his gaze to the elder of the guardian of the pavilion. He tilted his head and asked Yue Ying to stand there and wait for a moment. Then, in a flash, he came to the elder of the guardian of the pavilion.
Although the elder Qiu who guards the pavilion is nearly 70 years old, he still stands as straight as a spear. Although he is not tall, his temperament is very majestic.
Xie Xiangcai had heard about some of the great achievements of this old senior, so he froze his body, bowed and saluted, and said in a respectful tone, "Junior Xie Xiangcai has just met Elder Qiu!"
Elder Qiu raised his eyelids slightly. When he saw the handsome young man in front of him, crow's feet spread out from the corners of his eyes. He chuckled and said, "It turns out to be Elder Zhangjian. Would you like to come in for a drink?"
Xie Xiangcai straightened up with a smile, shook his head slightly, turned sideways slightly, revealing Yue Ying behind him and said, "This is a friend of the junior generation. She has just entered the hall and is very interested in talismans. Elder Guan Jie asked her to do some basic training first. I'm afraid of spoiling others' interest in the bone aptitude test, so I thought I'd bring it to you first to see if I can..."
Although the young man's words were reserved, Elder Qiu, who was well versed in the world, immediately understood. He nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder, "I understand, we all got here this way..."
Xie Xiangcai was overjoyed when he saw this. In fact, it was not his intention to do it so painstakingly. He just wanted to make the girl happy, and there was no need to be unable to do what he liked due to other reasons.
Elder Qiu and Prime Minister Xie exchanged glances for a while, then slapped him with their hands, sternly indicating that it was getting late, and then walked slowly towards Yue Ying who was playing with the hem of her clothes not far away.
When Yueying saw the elder Shou Ge walking towards her, she was flattered and bent down to salute.
Elder Qiu waved his hand and glanced at the jade plaque on Yueying's waist pretending to be serious, "Yueying, you are fifteen years old, right?"
Yueying nodded heavily, looking a little scared.
Xie Xiangcai walked to Yueying's side with a smile without saying much.
Under the watchful eye of Xie Xiangcai, Elder Qiu led Yue Ying towards the main hall of the Sutra Pavilion.
The young man stared at the direction where the two figures disappeared for a long time. After a long time, there was a "creak" sound, and the attic door was opened again by Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu walked side by side with Yue Ying with a smile on his face.
Xie Xiangcai felt happy. Before he could step forward, Elder Qiu came forward cheerfully and pulled Xie Xiangcai aside.
"The kid you brought here is so talented! Fortunately, this good seedling has not been touched by other old foxes! I am a junior, so I will thank you today! No, no, we are all elders and juniors What a shameless title for a junior! From today on, I am the elder brother and you are the younger brother. We two brothers treat each other as brothers!"
Elder Qiu consciously put his arm on Xie Xiangcai's shoulder, then turned around, looked at Yueying very lovingly and said, "Xiao Yue'er, just go back and pack up, take everything with you and move it to the Sutra Pavilion. Come live here, there happens to be an empty room that I have been preparing!"
Yueying twisted her waist and bowed to Elder Qiu Yingying, made a face towards Xie Xiangcai, and then skipped towards her old residence.
Elder Qiu looked at Yueying's back as if he were his own granddaughter, and could not suppress the curvature of his mouth.
Xie Xiangcai was a little surprised and couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that it was really unnecessary before. I didn't expect Yueying to be a good seedling for cultivation."
Elder Qiu sighed, thinking that fate was a little unpredictable, "Xiaoyue, this girl is a natural talisman master, especially because her spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. As long as you give her enough time, it will not be difficult to completely take over my mantle. Even if she becomes It is not nonsense to say that the Daqing Dynasty had a female heavenly master who was unprecedented and unprecedented."
Xie Xiangcai was stunned. The two words "Tianshi" had a status in Daqing Dynasty second only to that of "Guoshi"!
He knew in his heart that Elder Qiu never liked to speak big words. The fact that he could speak so highly of Yue Ying this time clearly showed Yue Ying's talent.
The young man was even more grateful that Yueying did not stay in Yuanyang Tower all his life. If that were the case, he might not have the chance to turn around again in this life.
In less than half an hour, Yueying was sweating profusely and carrying her luggage back to the Sutra Pavilion.
Xie Xiangcai smiled and accepted her salute, and said softly, "Congratulations. You must know that Elder Qiu has not accepted a disciple for decades!"
Yueying raised her head, curled her lips and said, "Elder Zhang Jian, don't be complacent. You have to seize the time and practice hard. If you take it lightly, you may be killed by me with one hand one day!"
When Xie Xiang heard what Yue Ying said, his face couldn't help but blossom with joy, "Okay, okay, then I'll wait and see, waiting for you Yue Ying to beat me into a pig's head one day!"
After saying this, the two of them followed Elder Qiu to the hut next to the Scripture Depository Pavilion that had been idle for many years.
Xie Xiangcai and Elder Qiu helped Yue Ying make the bed in her room. Yue Ying stood idle, playing with the talismans and various inkstone brushes hanging on the wall.
Yue Ying glanced at the objects on the wall expectantly, her heart full of longing for the future.
She knows that her past may be stained, but now that she is studying martial arts and talismans under Elder Qiu, she will definitely be able to stand out one day, and those shameful things in the past will naturally be forgotten by everyone.
Yueying suddenly felt a little disappointed in her heart. Although she knew that she had a bright future in front of her, but the world was unpredictable, who could say for sure, and who dared to guarantee that the future would be what she imagined?
After another half an hour, Xie Xiang stood up straight with his waist and patted the dust on his palms.
Elder Qiu on the side wiped off the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, exhaled a long breath, came to Xie Xiangcai and Yueying, smiled playfully, "Brother Xiangcai, let's take Xiaoyueer around, in a few days I will take Xiao Yue'er to retreat in an hour. The retreat will be very long, it will take several months, right?"
Prime Minister Xie was startled when he heard this, glanced at the girl beside him, and then nodded slightly.
Yue Ying stirred her two fingers together and said in a very low voice, "Master, does it really take so long..."
Elder Qiu nodded slightly and sighed softly, "Xiao Yue'er, although your talent is excellent, your foundation is not very strong. Master must help you stabilize your foundation quickly, so as not to affect your future cultivation... A year later, there will be an event in the Daqing Dynasty This is a large-scale talisman event. I want to take you to it. I just want to take this opportunity to see the world today. Those young talisman masters who are so-called "geniuses", look at the disciples of those old guys and our little ones. Compared with Yue'er, who is better?"
Xie Xiangcai calmed down after hearing this, and patted Yueying's shoulder pretending to be profound, "Xiaoyue, what Brother Qiu said makes sense, you should practice quickly, don't embarrass me, Elder Zhang Jian, and win some for the school. Face!"
Yueying nodded to Elder Qiu, then glared at Xie Xiangcai, "Humph, Xie Xiangcai, are you trying to put on airs with me?"
Xie Xiangcai laughed loudly and took the lead to walk outside the house, saying as he walked, "Let's go and visit the school or Qingmeng City. In a few hours, Xiaoyue'er, you can practice hard, hahaha …”
