"This little brother is very interesting. I want to talk to him too." The speaker was also a disciple who entered the house. He had a golden face and a tall body. He was half a head taller than Shangguan Wuhui, but he was quite handsome. His eyes are very special. If you look into his eyes, you will feel like you are staring into the abyss. When Qin Yi and Xiao Yan saw the visitor, they immediately saluted, "I've met Senior Brother Jiang Lan!"
"Well." Jiang Lan looked calm and said to Shangguan Wuhui, "Junior brother Wuhui, you shine very brightly in this competition. I think it is only a matter of time before you become a disciple. I want to be friends with you. I don't know. Are you willing?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Xiao Yan, even Qin Yi, who had always been as cold as ice, looked embarrassed.
"Senior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother Shangguan was reported to the sect yesterday by Junior Sister Xiao and I and was promoted to an inner disciple. His cultivation time is still short, and Junior Sister Xiao and I are planning to give him good guidance in his practice." Shangguan Wuhui saw that. Although Qin Yi was a little afraid of Jiang Lan, she didn't want Jiang Lan to take her away.
"Since he is the person that Junior Sister Qin likes, let's talk about becoming an inner disciple in the future. Junior Brother Wuhui, I, Jiang Lan, recognize you as a friend. If you need help, just ask, and I will leave first." Jiang Lan said vigorously and resolutely. Without waiting for the three of them to be polite, they turned around and left.
Qin Yi and Xiao Yan had mixed feelings in their hearts at this moment. They couldn't understand how such an inner disciple who no one usually wanted to take a look at was favored by so many people today. At this time, it is obviously impossible to coerce Shangguan Wuhui into telling his secret.
Shangguan Wuhui had also noticed that Qin Yi and Xiao Yan were playing tricks on each other at this moment, and said to himself, "Two little girls, my brother and I are over eighty years old together, and they want to trick me into secrets and see how I play you." He had a confused expression on his face, "Two senior sisters, this senior brother Jiang Lan won't harm me. He scared me to death just now. I thought he wanted to avenge Master Lin!"
"With us here, what are you afraid of? I really don't know what kind of shit luck you have, why do so many people pay attention to you!" Xiao Yan took out all his frustration on Shangguan Wuhui.
"Yes, yes, you two senior sisters, I am what I am today, all thanks to their cultivation."
"It's true that we cultivated you, but your own talent is too amazing. How can you become the best among the inner disciples after not seeing each other for a day? Are you hiding any secrets from us?" Xiao Yan stared at Shangguan Wuhui. eyes, aggressive.
"The two senior sisters Mingjian, there is no secret about Wuhui. It's just that after I went to Hongziyuan to settle in yesterday, I saw "Yin and Yang Induction" and "Yin and Yang Controlling the Spirit" on the bookshelf, and couldn't help but flip through them. You know poor children I have been fond of playing with mud since I was a child, so I am particularly interested in earth-based spirit control. I practiced it all night, but I didn’t expect that I only learned a little bit after studying for one night. So it wasn’t until senior brother Du Yuming called me in the morning that I remembered today On the first day of junior high school, I almost missed the competition." Shangguan Wuhui said it with great emotion, and most of it happened in real life. In addition, the two women knew that his soul was different from ordinary people, so they had no choice but to believe it at this moment. Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully, and Xiao Yan couldn't say anything else at the moment.
"Now that you are in the limelight, I'm afraid you will have a lot of trouble. Don't believe whatever the other disciples say to you. And after today, you will go to the back mountain to chop firewood. Although that place is under the jurisdiction of Tianji Peak, , but it is an undeveloped land. It has happened that inner sect disciples disappeared and fled after being punished. You can take care of yourself after you go." Qin Yi suddenly spoke, talking more than Shangguan Wuhui had ever said since he met her, and he couldn't help it. I understand what is going on, thank you immediately.
"Senior Sister Qin, why do you care so much about him? This guy looks like a white-eyed wolf who is trying to get in and out." Xiao Yan felt resentful when he heard this, and Shangguan Wugui couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Shangguan Wuhui, listen carefully, you are here today because Senior Sister Qin and I help you report the great kindness of the sect. No matter what the purpose of that vixen approaching you, I hope you will take care of yourself!"
"Okay, senior sisters. What should I do next?"
"You still need to ask? Go back quickly to pack your things and prepare dry food. No one will give you food during the month of your punishment! Don't miss a month, your life will be gone." At this time, Qin Yi was already Turning around to leave, Xiao Yan stopped talking and left.
Shangguan Wuhui hurried back to his residence, found a package and packed up the unfinished "Pharmacopoeia", "Mining Code" and "Lingzhou Overview", and then went to the Hongziyuan canteen to get January's dry food "Jade Potato" cake". This jade potato cake is only a small piece per day, but it is specially made by Hongziyuan. Although its efficacy is not as good as the Vitality Pill, the energy it provides is enough for a martial arts master to consume in a day.
Shangguan Wuhui returned to his residence and memorized the "Yin Yang Sect Inner Sect Rules". When he woke up, it was almost dawn, so he picked up the prepared ax and baggage and went to the back mountain.
This punishment of cutting firewood in the mountains behind the sect is actually to train the martial arts of the sect disciples. Because the back mountain has not been developed, bathing in the spiritual energy of the sect's formation for many years has not only produced many elixirs and rare treasures, but also breeds some spirits and monsters. Therefore, for an inner disciple, there is danger here.
Shangguan Wuhui followed the path and finally came to an intersection. There was a stone tablet on the left side of the intersection, which clearly said "The land behind the mountain is forbidden to enter without incident." There was also a formation barrier at the intersection. When Shangguan Wuhui received the rations yesterday, the steward of the inner disciple had already given him the mountain entry token, so he walked into the formation calmly at this moment. The token flashed and the formation was activated. When Shangguan Wuhui regained his sight again, he was already in a primeval forest. The place is rich in spiritual energy and has towering ancient trees. Shangguan Wuhui suddenly had the idea of practicing here for a long time.
He quietly felt the quiet, primitive and ethereal natural environment, and then began to implement the purpose of his trip. The firewood that the sect needs to chop as punishment for its disciples is called "King Kong Wood". This wood is hard and cannot be used to make magic weapons. However, it is particularly resistant to burning. The daily meals of the outer and inner disciples include some elementary elixirs. Refining is of great use. It is difficult for ordinary people to cut down this diamond wood, and the mountains behind are dangerous, so the task of cutting down falls on the inner disciples who are martial arts masters. In addition to the sect arranging a team to cut down, it is these disciples who are usually punished to do it. The amount of felling in a month must reach 30 cubic meters. If it is not reached, the penalty will continue next month.
Shangguan Wuhui didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that it wouldn't take too long to complete the task of cutting down the diamond wood. But when he swung the ax, only a layer of bark was broken on the tree, and the ax blade only penetrated the trunk a little. Only then did he realize that the vajra tree was indeed worthy of its name, and although he had mastered some minor spells with his powerful soul, his body was still that of a mortal, so it was still a little more difficult for him to chop down this tree than other inner disciples.
After all, Shangguan Wuhui is a very tough person. Now that he realizes his own gap, he immediately stops looking down upon him. In his memory, he found the ax technique recorded in the "Lingzhou Martial Arts Summary" and chopped down the diamond wood in front of him with one axe. I don't know how long it took, but I heard a "ding" sound, and the absorption system prompted [Comprehend the whirlwind ax method, attribute bonus]:
[Character] Shangguan Wuhui
【Realm】Mortal
【Stamina】99
【Mana】57
【Strength】87
【Speed】81
【Physical Resistance】99
[Magic Resistance] 61
【Yuanshen】500
Shangguan Wuhui suddenly felt that at this moment, his strength and speed had greatly improved, and he felt happy in his heart. I immediately ate a piece of jade potato cake and felt that my body, which was almost tired and exhausted, was full of energy again. However, the absorption of the Chalcedony Divine Pill was unimaginably slow, and he didn't care. When he picked up the big ax again and used the whirlwind ax technique, the blow immediately penetrated three points of the wood. Shangguan was overjoyed without regrets.
Just when Shangguan Wuhui finally chopped down a vajra tree and wanted to cut it into sections. His powerful soul immediately felt that there were other people approaching here. Shangguan Wuhui felt uneasy and ignored the diamond wood. He immediately picked up the ax and package and quietly hid deep in the dense forest.
But as soon as he took action, he immediately felt that the person approaching him also accelerated and chased after him. At first he thought it was a coincidence and immediately changed his route. However, the man followed closely like a maggot attached to a bone. Only then did Shangguan Wuhui realize that there must be something wrong with him.
After thinking about the objects he had brought, only the mountain entry token had a positioning function, and he immediately understood the problem. The vague uneasiness in his heart made him feel that the person coming was an enemy rather than a friend, so he immediately left it alone and couldn't care much about it. He immediately threw down the mountain entry token and fled in another direction.
Sure enough, when the pursuer found that the token was motionless, he immediately sped up and rushed towards the token. Shangguan Wuhui was secretly glad that his soul was strong enough to detect the visitor in advance. He kept a certain distance and observed secretly. After the visitor stopped at the token, his actions became a little flustered, and then he became a little angry. Shangguan Wuhui was even more convinced that this person was going to be harmful to him. Based on his life experience, he instantly understood that the person coming was definitely related to Master Lin.
The visitor saw that Shangguan Wuhui had been lost, and after being flustered for a while, he calmed down. Finally left slowly. Shangguan Wuhui always kept a safe distance from him, and finally returned to the place where he abandoned the token just now. The token was missing from the ground, and Shangguan Wuhui secretly said, "No!" Because without the token, he would not be able to get out of the back mountain. The jade potato cakes could only last for one month, and even if he had other ways to survive, he would not be able to survive until the first day of the next lunar month. If he is unable to participate in the inner sect competition on time, he will also have to pay the heavy price of being expelled. The other party's move immediately put him in a dilemma.
Shangguan Wuhui calmed down and found that the other party was not in a hurry to leave. He understood that he was deliberately trying to lure him out, and he finally felt at ease.
