"You two little friends, you use hexagonal grass to refine elixirs." The old man asked after a while.
"Not bad." Zhou Lei and Kang Tian nodded.
"Refining hexagonal grass requires some extremely precious elixirs. Do you have them?" the old man asked.
Kang Tian nodded and took out all the elixirs needed to refine the hexagonal grass. Among them, spiritual peaches that are fifty years old are the most precious.
"All the elixirs for refining hexagonal grass are available. To refine hexagonal grass, you need 20,000 low-grade crystal stones." The old man said with a smile.
Kang Tian simply placed the twenty thousand crystal stones in front of the old man.
"Since the two boys are so happy, let's sign an agreement." The old man took out an agreement and handed it to Zhou Lei, and Kang Tian checked it.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian read the agreement and signed their names without any objections, and the old man also signed his name.
With this agreement, it is impossible for Qianbao Pavilion to default on its debts. Once they default on their debt, Xuangui Sword Sect will not forgive Qianbao Pavilion easily.
Then he went to Xibiafang City and used the remaining five spiritual stones to buy a small bag of spiritual rice.
After everything was over, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian left Qianbao Pavilion. Then he went to Xibiafang City and bought a small bag of spiritual rice.
Then Zhou Lei and Kang Tian returned to their residences in the Seventeen Peaks and practiced separately.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian spent the next time meditating hard and practicing.
It takes three months to refine the elixir of hexagonal grass, so Zhou Lei and Kang Tian can only wait. When practicing, he eats spiritual rice every day. In addition to the arduous practice, he also takes some time to practice the Sky-Shaking Raging Waves Sword Technique every day, and uses the spring breeze and drizzle technique to water the spiritual rice seedlings in his residence.
Three months passed quickly.
On this day, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian obtained two hexagonal grass elixirs from Qianbao Pavilion.
With excitement in his heart, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian left Waimenfang City silently.
After returning to their respective residences, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian did not immediately swallow the hexagonal grass elixir.
Instead, he practiced the Heaven-shaking Raging Wave Art, stabilized his mind, and allowed himself to completely calm down before swallowing the hexagonal grass elixir.
Zhou Lei was originally at the peak of the middle stage of the mortal bone realm, but after refining the hexagonal grass elixir, he directly became the peak of the late stage of the mortal bone realm.
After Kang Tian refined the hexagonal grass elixir, he also went from the middle stage of the mortal bone realm to the late stage of the mortal bone realm.
Since then, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian's strength has increased a lot.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian are preparing to try their best to improve their cultivation level to their own before the outer sect competition.
But at this moment, news came that the Financial Management Committee would hold another lecture in two days.
As an expert in the general bone realm, every lecture given by Manager Jin made all the outer disciples unwilling to give up. Zhou Lei and Kang Tian were no exception.
There is still one and a half months before the outer sect competition. Zhou Lei and Kang Tian are very pressed for time. They must not only familiarize themselves with the enhanced strength, but also improve their combat effectiveness, and also familiarize themselves with the Sky-Shaking Furious Wave Jue and so on.
The lecture was held as usual, and most of the disciples in the Seventeen Peaks arrived to listen to Manager Jin's sermon.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian were among the crowd, listening to the sermon and chatting with Kang Tian’s spiritual consciousness.
What made Zhou Lei and Kang Tian feel a little pity was that Manager Jin's sermon this time was still very basic.
This does not have much effect on Zhou Lei and Kang Tian, who already have a very strong foundation.
But even so, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian took their time and were calm.
Time flies, and two hours later, Manager Jin has stopped preaching. He scanned the disciples below with his indifferent eyes and said: "There is still one and a half months until the outer sect competition. It will be confirmed soon." Regarding the quota for participation in the outer sect competition, if any of you have confidence in yourself, you can show your strength and confirm your quota."
After the words fell, there was some silence around, many people looked at each other, and there was a buzz of conversation below. No one came forward, and Manager Jin was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Sure enough, not long after, someone couldn't help but jumped out and challenged one of his classmates by name.
Both of them were in the middle stage of the Mortal Bone Realm. They were going back and forth on the ring, their figures flashing across each other, and their energy bursting out. The force generated by the collision actually blew up a strong wind on the ring. The two fought vigorously, and finally this The battle ended with the challenger slightly better.
After this battle, another challenger came on stage to challenge a fellow disciple. The two first exchanged words and then started fighting.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian had been sitting cross-legged in the audience watching, and did not do anything else. Perhaps because of the impending outer sect competition, this time there are many more challenges than before.
Various spells, martial arts, and even talismans and other means were displayed on the stage one by one, which made Zhou Lei and Kang Tian who were watching in the audience marvel.
Those various fighting methods also made Zhou Lei and Kang Tian secretly vigilant, thinking of ways to crack them to avoid encountering the same strange opponents in the future.
Under the challenge of the outer disciples, more than an hour passed quickly.
Zhou Lei sent a message from his spiritual consciousness and asked: "Kang Tian, do we want to challenge him?"
"Zhou Lei, our strength has increased, but if we are to challenge, we may be a little lacking." Kang Tian said hurriedly through the sound transmission of his divine consciousness.
"Let's try the challenge first?" Zhou Lei said with a smile.
Seeing Zhou Lei like this, Kang Tian stopped persuading him.
Just when Manager Jin was about to end this challenge, Zhou Lei knew that he could not wait any longer, so he slowly stood up, jumped several feet into the ring, and said loudly: "Disciple Zhou Lei, to Zhang Qu Senior brother, ask for advice!”
As soon as he finished speaking, many disciples in the audience immediately started talking.
"No! News came out a month ago that Senior Brother Zhang Qu has entered the late stage of Mortal Bone Realm. How come I don't know the person who is challenging him? How can I find the confidence to challenge Senior Brother Zhang Qu?"
"Zhou Lei, I've never heard of it."
"His name is unknown."
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang Qu has been entrenched in the Seventeenth Peak. He has been among the top ten outer disciples for more than a year. His position has never wavered. How can he be so easy to challenge? Isn't Zhou Lei thinking that he is superior this time?"
"Who knows..."
Many disciples were talking among the crowd.
They are not very optimistic about Zhou Lei's sudden choice to challenge Zhang Qu, who is ranked tenth.
Nothing but fame. Zhang Qu, as one of the top ten outer disciples in the Seventeenth Peak, has been there for more than a year. He is very famous in the Seventeenth Peak, and his strength is extremely strong, otherwise he would have been pulled down long ago.
Being able to secure a top ten position is in itself a proof of strength.
As for Zhou Lei, he was just mediocre. No one in the Seventeen Peaks had ever heard of him.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Qu's expression remained unchanged as he slowly stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, floated out several feet in a step, and landed leisurely on the arena.
His calm demeanor and calm demeanor can move people's faces.
On the ring, Zhang Qu stood leisurely and said to Zhou Lei with a smile on his face: "Junior brother Zhou Lei, since you have decided to challenge me, you must be well prepared, please!"
Zhang Qu stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Lei.
To put it mildly, the vitality visible to the naked eye was already swirling around him, twisting the air, and the aura of the late Mortal Bone Realm exuded rolled in and filled the arena.
Seeing this, many of the disciples in the audience took a breath of cold air. It was worthy of the title of Stable Seventeen Peaks. The top ten disciples among the outer disciples had such a sense of oppression just by their aura.
