"Uncle Qian has a keen eye, and this junior did have some luck. However, what he got was nothing more than some spiritual stones, and a large number of elixirs from the Qi refining period. His current cultivation level was completely improved by elixirs. There is no That kind of panacea that can improve several levels of cultivation in a short period of time will probably disappoint Master Qian."
Lu Xiaotian said with a bitter smile. He said this, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The old man in black robe also accepted him as a disciple, but he only regarded him as a tool to be used. No matter how powerful the other party is, if you don't sincerely accept him as a disciple, you won't learn anything. Moreover, there is a library hall in Lingxiao Palace. There are a large number of exercises in it that can be purchased directly with spirit stones. It does not necessarily need to beg Qian Dali. Moreover, he does not have this kind of elixir that can greatly increase his cultivation level in a short period of time. He is not lying on this point.
As for the mysterious space inside his body, he will not reveal even a single word to anyone. Otherwise, even the powerful Jindan would be greedy, not to mention that the person in front of him was just a foundation-building monk.
"Forget it, I'm just asking casually. Since you don't have it with you, it's okay. You can go back."
Seeing that Lu Xiaotian didn't look like he was lying, Qian Dali's originally fair expression suddenly turned grim. However, as a foundation-building monk, he had not lost his status to the point where he directly attacked Lu Xiaotian at Qinglian Peak. So Qian Dali directly issued an eviction order.
"Yes, junior, please excuse me!" Lu Xiaotian exited the cave and happened to meet Yu Bao walking in with a wink. It seemed that he must have received a message from Qian Dali. On the mountain road leaving Qinglian Peak, Lu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of urgency.
He was not interested in the fact that Qian Dali, an old man, had a son who was about thirteen years old. He reached the eighth level of Qi Refining at the age of thirteen, which Qian Dali said was not very fast. Moreover, the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills was much tighter than he had imagined before. Previously, Lu Xiaotian thought that as long as he could enter the Xiuxian sect, he would have a chance to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills sooner or later.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. Even a foundation-building monk like Qian Dali can't get it. He can only let his son get a quota through the sect's five-year competition. And that's just the top fifty. Just imagine that there are tens of thousands of disciples in Lingxiao Palace during the Qi refining stage, and among them there are many who are in the later stages of Qi refining and have reached the Dzogchen realm. How difficult it is to achieve top ten results among tens of thousands of people.
What's more, quite a few of them are descendants or direct disciples of foundation-building monks. The resources these people have received since childhood are different from ordinary casual cultivators. They have better pills to help them practice, they can practice better techniques, and they have been taught by foundation-building monks since they were young. It is simply not comparable to wild practices such as casual cultivators. What's more, there are very few descendants of the powerful Jin Dan. The background is even more remarkable.
There are only two paths before him now. The sect competition is a competition for disciples in the Qi refining stage. Once in five years, the most recent one was two years later. This time he would definitely not be able to catch up. With his cultivation level of only six periods of Qi refining, even if he chewed the elixirs like beans, he would not be able to reach the state of Dzogchen in two years. This kind of public competition in the arena is not comparable to the fighting in the Moon Mountains.
Not to mention that he doesn't have a trump card in his hand now, even if he does, it will be seen through after a few games. These descendants of disciples with deep family backgrounds will quickly find ways to deal with the cracks. He would be eliminated after just a few rounds. After all, whether it was spells, cultivation, or spiritual weapons, he had no advantage over others.
According to Yu Bao's previous introduction, Lu Xiaotian went down to Qinglian Peak and rented a spiritual crane to fly to Zhushan of his choice. It is a hundred or dozens of miles away from the main peak of Qinglian. But this is still in the air. If you switch to the ground and drive along the undulating mountain road, it will indeed be quite troublesome.
Lu Xiaotian found a sunny hillside and planned to dig out a small cave. However, I slashed hard on the ground with my dagger a few times, but I found that the sword could only cut less than a foot deep. The rock was surprisingly hard.
"The stone on this mountain is actually a kind of spiritual thing, so hard. At this speed, it will probably take at least several months to dig out a cave. It seems that we can only temporarily build a bamboo house, but fortunately it is spread all over the wilderness. It's bamboo." Lu Xiaotian scratched his head and gave up the idea of building a cave. He couldn't afford to waste a few months building a place to live.
"Qiang!"
The dagger struck the green bamboo, making the sound of metal clashing. The spiritual bamboo was actually extremely hard. It took Lu Xiaotian several sword strikes to cut the bamboo off.
Just when Lu Xiaotian was busy building his residence, Yu Bao came out of Qian Dali's cave full of questions. Some people can't understand the relationship between Qian Dali and Lu Xiaotian. It stands to reason that Lu Xiaotian, a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, is almost at the lowest level in Lingxiao Palace. You shouldn't be put in the eyes of money gifts.
However, the facts went against common sense. Qian Dali actually asked him to keep an eye on Lu Xiaotian's every move to see if Lu Xiaotian behaved abnormally.
Is there any treasure on Lu Xiaotian that even the foundation-building monks covet? Yu Bao couldn't help but have a hint of greed in his eyes, but he quickly put this terrible thought out of his mind and competed with Qian Dali, unless he became impatient. Thinking of the benefits Qian Dali promised to him, Yu Bao couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. As long as he completed this errand, he would have a huge backer in the future. Who else would dare to bully him easily in the Qinglian Peak Region in the future? ?
It was finally built. Three days later, Lu Xiaotian looked at the small bamboo building in front of him with a sense of accomplishment.
Yo, a sharp eagle cry sounded.
Lu Xiaotian looked up and saw a huge spiritual eagle fluttering its wings and flying more than two feet above the ground. Yu Bao jumped down from it and said with enthusiasm, "Junior Brother Lu, this place you live in is really awesome. Yes, it took me a lot of effort to find it.”
Lu Xiaotian smiled lightly and said, "I wonder if Senior Brother Yu has any advice?"
"That's it. Uncle Qian was worried that you didn't understand many things when you first came to Lingxiao Palace. He specifically asked me to move here to Junior Brother Lu. If Junior Brother Lu encounters any difficulties in the future, just come to me." Yu Bao patted his chest. , with a righteous look, and then said flatteringly, "It seems that Junior Brother Lu and Junior Uncle Qian have a close relationship. When Brother Yu is in trouble in the future, I hope Junior Brother Lu can help him."
Lu Xiaotian quickly said some polite words and found an excuse to start making alchemy and returned to the bamboo house. Yu Bao smiled when he saw Lu Xiaotian leaving, secretly thinking that although the spiritual energy here was a little thinner, with the elixirs provided by the money and gifts, he would be able to practice faster than in his original residence. Just looking at Lu Xiaotian's expression, it didn't seem like something was wrong. But regardless of him, Yu Bao wished that the tasks assigned to him by Qian Dali could continue like this.
