When the first ray of sunlight shines through the clouds in the morning, a warmth slowly rises across the land.
At this time, half a month has passed since the outer door test.
"call."
Lin Beichen, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"It seems that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy by simply running the technique is too slow. We must think of other methods." A trace of helplessness flashed in Lin Beichen's eyes.
If he is practicing high-level skills, then the speed at which he absorbs spiritual energy must go to a higher level.
But unfortunately, the Qingyun Jue he practiced was just an ordinary human-level intermediate technique. This was given to him by the outer sect when he joined the Xuanyuan Sect.
He knew that the real advanced skills were in the inner sect. It can be said that only those who have entered the inner sect can truly belong to the Xuanyuan Sect's disciples.
"Hey, it's been detected that the exercises practiced by the host are rubbish among rubbish."
"Now assign tasks to the host."
"Please host to break through to the first level of spiritual vein realm."
"Task reward: a copy of the "Tian Yan Dao Jing" practice method."
"The mission time limit is half a year. If the time limit is exceeded, the mission will be deemed to have failed. The host is requested to complete it as soon as possible."
After half a month, the mechanical sound of the system sounded in Lin Beichen's mind again.
"???"
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched slightly.
He had been cultivating hard for half a month, but he was still stuck at the fourth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm. He was originally worried about how to return to the original realm within a year. Fortunately now, this system directly shortened his time by half.
However, what kind of technique is this "Tianyan Dao Jing"? The name sounds pretty cool.
"System, what level of training method is this "Tianyan Dao Jing"?" Lin Beichen asked curiously.
"Hello host, "Tian Yan Dao Jing" is a stepless exercise." The system replied mechanically.
"..."
Lin Beichen was speechless. The emotional difficulty of the task was so high, but the reward was a stepless exercise book.
However, it stands to reason that the system even has such heaven-defying elixirs as the Heaven-Building Pill, so there might be some way to reward the technique.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of expectation arose in his heart.
"It seems that I have to go outside for some experience." Lin Beichen secretly made up his mind.
Although the outside world is extremely dangerous, it is also full of opportunities.
Although the flowers in the greenhouse will not experience strong winds and heavy rains, they also lack sunlight!
"Deng Deng Deng"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
With a creaking sound, the wooden door was gently pushed open, and the girl slowly walked into the room.
"Xi'er, I was just going to find you." Lin Beichen's eyes flashed with joy.
Now, his dejected look has long disappeared.
"What's the matter? Brother Beichen misses Xi'er?" Ye Lingxi smiled.
"Hehe, I just want to say that I feel that practicing in the sect is too slow. I want to go out to the outside world for a walk. I just wanted to say goodbye to you." Lin Beichen said with a smile.
"Ah? Where are you going?" Ye Lingxi put away the smile on her face and asked worriedly.
"I don't know yet, so let's go out for a walk and see if I can encounter any opportunities." Lin Beichen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
To be honest, he didn't know where he was going. He only knew that if he stayed in the sect, at the current cultivation speed, he might not even be able to recover to the seventh level of the Spirit Tempering Realm within half a year, let alone the first level of the Spiritual Vein Realm.
Only by going out to practice can you have the slightest chance.
"Then I'm going too." Ye Lingxi's face became even more worried.
She didn't want Lin Beichen to be the same as before.
"The outside world is too dangerous. If you follow me, I can't protect you." Lin Beichen shook his head and refused.
"Please, Brother Beichen, let me follow you." Ye Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Lin Beichen's arm and started acting coquettishly.
Lin Beichen felt the strange feeling coming from his arm, and felt a little hot in his heart.
This little girl seems to have grown up!
"No, you stay in the sect well. When I become stronger in the future, I will take you with me." Lin Beichen refused with a serious look on his face.
"Brother Beichen dislikes Xi'er for getting in the way. Xi'er understands." Ye Lingxi let go of her hands, her eyes began to fill with mist, and then she turned and left.
"Alas." Lin Beichen sighed helplessly as he looked at Ye Lingxi's leaving figure.
He knew how dangerous the outside world was, and he didn't want this little girl to go on adventures with him.
...........
In the northern part of Xuanling Dynasty, Demon Cloud Marsh.
After some careful testing, Lin Beichen sat down next to a giant tree to rest.
Just yesterday, when he was passing through the forest, he inadvertently provoked a demonic beast at the fifth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm. As a result, the demonic beast kept chasing him. It wasn't until he broke into the swamp that the monster stayed there unwillingly.
"Oh, what a bad luck. Just after leaving the tiger's mouth, he fell into the wolf's den again." Lin Beichen said with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
It had been a day since he broke into this swamp, during which time he had also fallen into the swamp. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he grabbed a branch above the swamp and used the branch's strength to escape.
"Is there anyone? Help."
At this time, a subtle cry for help came faintly.
Lin Beichen suddenly felt alarmed and stood up, scanning his surroundings with his eyes.
In the wild, humans are more terrifying than monsters! After all, humans have one more thing than monsters and beasts, and that is spiritual intelligence.
"Help, I'm still a virgin, I don't want to die yet."
The subtle cry for help came again.
Lin Beichen hesitated for a moment and walked slowly towards the direction of the sound.
The cry for help became clearer and louder.
After a moment, a fat man with only the upper body appeared in Lin Beichen's sight.
"Brother, please help me." Seeing the coming person, the trapped fat man shouted with joy.
Lin Beichen ignored the fat man's cry for help. Instead, he spread his legs slightly and observed the surroundings with vigilance. If there was the slightest sign of trouble, he would run away.
When the fat man saw that Lin Beichen was silent, he was very sensible and closed his mouth.
At this time, he was trapped in the swamp. Although he was very anxious inside, if he accidentally angered Lin Beichen in front of him, then he would have no choice but to wait for death.
A moment later, after Lin Beichen made sure that there was no trace of anyone else around, he looked at the fat man.
"Who are you?" Lin Beichen said slowly.
"Brother, I am the eldest young master of the Yuan family in the nearby Moyun City. My name is Yuan Kai." The fat man said anxiously, and then he was worried that Lin Beichen would be scared, and then said: "Brother, don't worry, I don't mean any harm. Save When I come up, I will repay you well."
After Lin Beichen hesitated for a moment, he picked up a broken branch the size of a fist next to him and stretched it towards the fat man.
"Thank you, brother. A good man gives birth to eight." Seeing this, Yuan Kai hurriedly grabbed the branch handed to him and muttered something.
"..."
The corner of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched slightly, and then he suddenly used his hand to drag Yuan Kai out of the swamp, and then threw the branch to the ground angrily.
"ah!"
The fat man yelled and then fell heavily to the ground along with the branch.
"Brother, why are you so rude? Can't you be gentler?" The fat man rubbed his butt, struggled to stand up, and looked at Lin Beichen with resentful eyes.
"I don't have a Taoist companion yet!" Lin Beichen rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Wow, brother, you are so handsome and unrestrained, but you don't have a Taoist companion? This is simply unreasonable." Yuan Kai approached Lin Beichen with a wretched look on his face and said with a smile: "Do you want me to introduce you to one?" "
"Get out." Lin Beichen twitched the corners of his mouth and spat out one word.
This fat man is really a bit wretched. I wish he had just ignored his cry for help.
"No, brother, I know an oiran from a brothel. She's very pretty. You must like her, brother." The fat man put his arm around Lin Beichen's shoulders and whispered.
"Put your hands down." Lin Beichen glanced at the fat hands on his shoulders, and then said calmly: "Let me ask you, where is this place?"
"Hehe, brother, don't be angry." Yuan Kai let go of his hand with a bright smile, and then said seriously: "This place is called Moyun Marsh. It is a natural swamp. It is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can... Gonna get stuck in a swamp like I just did.”
"Oh? Since you know the danger, what is your purpose of coming here?" Lin Beichen looked confused.
He thought that the fat man in front of him had accidentally wandered in just like him. It seemed that there might be something mysterious about this place.
