Just as he was about to leave again, there was a knock on the door again.
"who?"
The person outside the door was completely unexpected to him.
"it's me."
The cold voice of the second elder made him pause as he prepared to open the door, and then he continued to open the door as if nothing had happened.
He didn't speak, and neither did the second elder.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then the second elder said, "Don't you want me to sit down?"
Qi Mingchen walked in silently, poured a glass of water and put it on the table. Seeing this, the second elder also walked in.
"How is your practice going lately?"
"fine."
"You got your spot back this time with your own strength."
There was a hint of relief in the second elder's tone, but Qi Mingchen didn't have much emotion in his heart and didn't know how to answer. In the end, he could only respond in silence.
"Are you blaming me?"
The second elder also felt the stagnation in the atmosphere in the room, and sighed softly, saying: "In such a position, I am not only your father, but also the entire second elder of the Canglong Sect. I have to consider all aspects... "
"What did the second elder come to see me for?" Qi Mingchen didn't intend to waste too much time here. There were still many things waiting for him to do, so he interrupted the other party's explanation directly.
"..." The second elder's eyes became complicated, and after a long time he said: "I came here to ask you, how did you survive? In that place in the back mountain, even I couldn't survive. You are here You can’t lie to me about awakening there, but... did anyone save you?"
It is obviously a bit abnormal to ask such a question.
Normally, as an orphan, he had few friends around him. The only person he could rely on was the second elder who was once his father.
Why do you think someone can save him like this?
After suppressing his doubts, it was naturally impossible for Qi Mingchen to tell the truth, and even if he explained to the second elder, he would not believe it. He knew that this person had such a character and would only believe what he believed, and nothing else would be recognized.
Just like when he didn't wake up for ten years, he stubbornly believed that he didn't work hard.
"A man in black robe rescued me, and I hid in a woods and practiced for a month."
Hearing this, the second elder looked at him dubiously. After observing him carefully for a long time, he took out a sign from his sleeve and threw it to him.
"Practice well."
The second elder said this in a rare gentle tone, and then stood up and left.
Qi Mingchen took the sign, but did not observe it directly. Instead, he stayed in a daze for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, he looked down at the sign and found the words [Yunwu Altar] written on it.
That place... is a place that only inner disciples and above can enter. It is the place with the richest spiritual power in the Canglong Sect.
But just having this brand is not enough to enter there. You also need to reach the status of an inner disciple.
At this time, he understood.
The second elder gave him the purpose of this brand.
After he uses his quota to go to Jiange to practice for a month, he hopes that he can be promoted to an inner disciple in the outer sect examination.
This also implies that as long as you become an inner disciple, you can restore the father-son relationship with the second elder...
Qi Mingchen looked at the sign, his hands shaking slightly.
The unwillingness and grievances of the past seem to be dispelled through this brand.
But……
"It's too late."
Muttering, he was lost for a long time and put the sign away.
At this moment, his goal is no longer family affection, nor is it revenge.
The shock brought to him by the birth ban made these things that were like a bolt from the blue to him at first become unworthy of mentioning.
He wants to become stronger, see a wider world, find his own life experience, and crack the secret of the ghost soul vein in his body!
In the future, other things will only be obstacles, not the goals he ultimately wants to achieve!
…
Returning to the back mountain again, this time he planned to concentrate on recovering his cultivation here.
The back mountain is filled with the life-threatening aura of death, and now it has become a very suitable place for him to practice.
He is currently in the second level of Dantian, and the spiritual power in his Dantian is not in a full state.
In the center of his eyebrows, the golden energy had been fully replenished. He felt that perhaps he should give this energy a name. After all, he had never heard of a similar situation in others.
To explore and understand this energy, we cannot make use of other people's experience, we can only explore it on our own.
"First light."
While he was thinking, a voice seemed to suddenly arise in his heart.
Qi Mingchen couldn't tell whether the sound was his own thoughts or something else. In any case, the golden energy had a name.
He took off his Canglong Sect disciple uniform and sat down naked.
By running the technique, the surrounding dead energy gathers and forms a moist and dark mist on the surface of the skin.
Feeling that the cultivation speed is almost twice as fast as outside.
"Could it be that a place like this is more suitable for me to practice..."
He couldn't help but have such doubts.
However, how could anyone be suitable to practice in a place full of death energy?
The sky is covered with dark clouds one after another, and it is difficult to see the blue sky beyond the clouds. The strong wind, corpses, and black and purple mist that seems poisonous and cursed all make Qi Mingchen feel like he is used to this scene. .
It seemed like he could adapt to a place like this better than the blue sky outside.
This also made him have more doubts about his identity.
Countless mysteries emerged little by little as he awakened, following him like a shadow.
Buzz!
At this time, he felt a frown between his eyebrows.
The golden energy...or the first light, circled around his body, and the clear and cool energy flowed through his body, making his thoughts gradually settle down.
When the first light returned to the center of his eyebrows, he had completely calmed down. Whether it was puzzles or various doubts that no longer affected him, his consciousness returned to his dantian and began to absorb the surrounding death energy with more concentration and replenish the compressed spiritual power in his dantian.
The first light can appear at the critical moment every time, as if it is conscious.
Soon, a week passed.
As the Dantian energy compressed rapidly, the surrounding mist became thicker.
Qi Mingchen's entire body had turned into a clay figure, with bits of debris falling off from his body from time to time.
boom!
As the spiritual energy in his Dantian was compressed to the extreme, his whole body was shaken!
Half of the mud on his body fell off. He opened his eyes. His dark eyes were extremely sharp. He used all his spiritual power and aimed a palm at the nearby dead tree!
boom!
The dead tree exploded directly.
He didn't stop attacking, he raised his leg and kicked the boulder on the side!
Boom!
Rubbles scattered from the sky like drizzle, the strong wind blew, and the smoke dissipated, revealing Qi Mingchen's smiling eyes.
It took a week.
Three levels of elixir formation!
His previous strength was completely restored. At the same time, he felt from the attack just now that both his spiritual power and strength were more consolidated than after the previous breakthrough.
He picked up the clothes on the side and walked down the mountain!
