The "Basic Spirit Gathering Technique" in Guo Xun's hand is actually an auxiliary exercise for ordinary people to strengthen their bodies.
It can be regarded as a good secret book in the traditional martial arts world, but it is a bit out of place in the cultivation of immortals.
"Basic Spirit Gathering Technique" is actually just a simple spiritual energy tempering technique, an auxiliary technique that does not even require the Dantian.
However, Guo Xun relied on such low-level skills to practice to the ninth level of skin and flesh refining.
If it were an ordinary person, this would be impossible. Now this exercise is no longer helpful to Guo Xun.
Guo Xun has absorbed the waste elixirs from eleven burning elixir pools.
The spiritual power of these waste elixirs is huge. If it were an ordinary person, they would not know how many times they would explode.
But now Guo Xun found that no matter how he absorbed these waste elixirs, he felt that his realm could not improve any further.
All I know is that all the spiritual power of these waste elixirs entered the Dantian, and then there was nothing more.
At this time, he began to realize that this might be the reason for the "Basic Spirit Gathering Method".
Just when he didn't know how to improve, he got good news from the servants.
The Lihuo Sword Sect will recruit disciples in two months.
Although Guo Xun escaped from the Lihuo Sword Sect, after all, he was a handyman and had no access to real cultivation, and no one knew him, so he decided to give it a try.
There are two main ways for the Lihuo Sword Sect to recruit disciples.
The first method is for the Jindan monks in the Lihuo Sword Sect to go out to various places to recruit disciples. This method is inefficient but accurate and effective.
The second is that the Lihuo Sword Sect sets up a unified assessment, and recruits disciples based on the assessment results specifically to recruit outsiders to apply.
The Lihuo Sword Sect's recruitment of disciples this time is the second type. In fact, the quality of such extensive recruitment of disciples is not high.
And the number of people who came was not particularly large. There could be two to three thousand people.
This is not to say that Li Fire Sword Sect cannot do it, but the main reason is that it is too far away, so such an assessment is basically only held once every five years.
Every time the Lihuo Sword Sect recruits disciples, the assessment location is in Lihuo City, the county seat of Lihuo County.
After Guo Xun learned the news, he began to calculate whether he could reach Lihuo City in two months.
Although they were all within Lihuo County, they were separated by several mountains and Guo Xunde set off early.
Guo Xun can't fly with a sword, so relying on his legs is indeed a big challenge.
Although Guo Xun didn't know where he was now, he knew that Musashi Pavilion was open to handymen, and it contained a map of Lihuo County.
After Guo Xun got the map, he left the mountain peak overnight and rushed towards Lihuo City.
Time always flies when you are on the road.
During the journey, Guo Xun didn't have any delays other than eating and sleeping. Even so, it took him a full month and a half to reach the foot of Lihuo City.
This is the first time Guo Xun has come to a city of this level. He has only been to a few towns since he was a child.
This was his first time visiting a county town, and he thought those towns were already very big cities.
The wall from the Fire City is ten feet high, with both sides extending outward to form a huge square.
There are attics on the city wall, and on the top of each attic is a flag with the word "Tang Huang" written on it.
Rows of soldiers stood majestically on the tower with spears in hand.
Guo Xun couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at Lihuo City.
The world is too big, and there are too many things that he doesn't understand and don't know, all of which are waiting for him to explore and discover one by one.
Guo Xun was walking on the road to the city gate, and the endless flow of pedestrians, motorcades, and caravans coming and going all reflected its prosperity.
There is a huge fire-red plaque above the city gate. On the plaque are written the words "Lihuo City", which is extremely magnificent.
Guo Xun looked a little stunned, and suddenly an impatient voice came from behind him.
"Are you leaving? If you don't leave, don't block the way!"
Guo Xun looked back and saw a huge carriage pulled by four white horses stopping behind him.
There was a coachman sitting in front of the carriage, and it was this coachman who had shouted to Guo Xun just now.
Guo Xun scratched his head and said awkwardly:
"Sorry! I have to go to town."
The driver said disdainfully:
"You're going to the city, why don't you see the queue behind you? Why are you so dazed! What a country bumpkin."
Guo Xun giggled and quickly followed the team in front, successfully passed the inspection and entered the city gate.
Guo Xun came to the long city wall tunnel and slowly walked into Lihuo City.
Guo Xun was stunned again.
The street he is currently on runs through the entire north and south gates of Lihuo City. It is extremely straight and cannot be seen to the end.
The streets are crowded with people and there are countless buildings on both sides, including shops, lofts, houses and courtyards.
“Finally we’re here, it’s so spectacular!”
Guo Xun's clothes were a little shabby, and pedestrians on the street cast strange looks at him.
Guo Xun didn't pay attention to the gazes of passers-by, because now he was facing two problems.
First, where is the assessment location? Second, how should he deal with his food and accommodation in a few days before the assessment?
Due to Guo Xun's shabby appearance, he went around asking about the Lihuo Sword Sect's assessment location, but no one answered him.
This made him very depressed and now he was so penniless that it was hard for him to eat, let alone change his clothes.
He walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the prosperous Lihuo City, he felt like he was in another world.
He was now standing on this bustling street but found that he did not belong here.
The confusion and hesitation in his heart made him doubt whether he could really become a strong person.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd in front, and two people, a man and a woman, suddenly rushed out of the crowd.
These two people ran quickly, and a group of people chased them behind them. The pursuers were still shouting:
"You two, stop right there. I'm going to make sure that no one from your Lan family even wants to take part in the assessment."
At this time, several men suddenly appeared in front of the two people who were running away, and they stopped them.
Pedestrians on the street commented one after another, "The Gen family has gone too far! They actually beat people in the street."
"I heard that the Lihuo Sword Sect disciples are bound to win this time in the assessment of the Ren family, but I didn't expect that they would secretly drive away other families."
"The Ren family has become more and more powerful in recent years. Now they can cover the sky with one hand in Lihuo City. Now the Lan family is in danger."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Do you want to die?"
The man being chased yelled angrily:
"Pu Mo, don't bully others too much. If you really risk your life, our Lan family will not be afraid of you."
"Hmph! I don't take the little Lan family seriously. If the third elder hadn't said that Lan Yue of your Lan family has some cultivation talent, I wouldn't bother to care about you. If I want to blame you, I blame you for not hiding it well."
The man named Ren Mo said in an arrogant tone.
"Come on, greet these two people properly, and remember not to cause trouble. I just want them to be unable to participate in the assessment."
Ren Mo said to his subordinates.
The Ren family is one of the four major families in Lihuo City, and its chamber of commerce has a huge property portfolio.
There is a tendency for one family to dominate in Lihuo City, and the head of the Ren family has a middle-stage Jindan ancestor, so they are so rampant.
The most taboo thing for a cultivation family like this is for talented disciples from other families to grow up, so as the third son of the direct lineage of the Ren family, Ren Mo is even more obligated.
The Lan family was not the first target of his attack, and of course it would not be the last.
