"Boom..."
A distant and solemn ringing of a bell floated out from the top of Zhaotian Sect's main peak, lingering in the sky-covering mountain range for a long time.
After hearing the sound of the bell, all the foundation-building elders of Zhaotian Sect put down what they were doing, drew their swords, and quickly rushed to the mountainside of Zhaotian Peak.
At this moment, many strange flying swords reflected each other, for fear of being a step slower than others. They knew that the ringing of the sect's Liuyun Bell meant that a new disciple had persisted in the heart-refining stone room for more than three days.
Sixty years have passed since the last time the Liuyun Bell was rung...
Not long after, most of the sect's foundation-building elders gathered in front of the stone house, all coming to snatch Chen Mo.
"Elder Liu, if you don't want to temper your flying sword, why are you here?" Everyone was familiar with him, and some of them naturally said hello without being surprised.
"The surname is Liang. If nothing else, it just so happens that our Weapon Refining Pavilion is short of a disciple with a very good character. I will decide on this child!" The monk who was called Elder Liu earlier glared and choked the speaker. passed.
"Old Liu, can you get this kind of thing if you ask for it?" Another Foundation Establishment Elder interjected: "This Heart Refining Stone House has not had a disciple in it for more than three days for many years. This must be the case. Alarming the great elder in seclusion, I see, the final result is nothing more than being accepted as a disciple by the great elder!"
An old man with a slender face shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. We can take this child as a disciple before the Great Elder comes, and cook the raw rice. Can the Great Elder still rob him?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing! This kid can be called a dragon or a phoenix in terms of character. If his qualifications are justified, he will be my disciple under the name Zheng Feichen! Elders, please come back!" Another red-faced monk said in a rough voice. Open your mouth and let the other dozens of elders go back wherever they came from.
"Fart! Do you think so? Do you want to learn sneak attack tricks like you?"
"That's right, I'm already quite old, so don't let others mislead you!"
When he said this, the others stopped and retorted one after another. Some of the hot-tempered Foundation Establishment elders even started to scold him. When it came to getting more intense, Zheng Feichen almost got into a fight with another Foundation Establishment elder. , the others quickly went to break up the fight, and finally managed to stop it.
The good entry-level trial venue was turned into a vegetable market by this group of people, and turned into a martial arts arena for quarreling and fighting.
The two guarding disciples here also had a dark streak. It was the first time they saw the true face of this group of elders. They were no different from some traders in the secular world.
At this moment, a purple stream of light flashed past, and in the blink of an eye, a middle-aged monk jumped down from the sky. This man was wearing a maroon raccoon flower robe, with a wide cloud-patterned belt around his waist. He was tall and tall. Severe eyes swept over the more than 70 foundation-building elders here, and finally their eyes stopped on the stone house where Chen Mo was.
"Greetings to the Great Elder!" Everyone had long been silent before this person flew over, and now they all bowed and said in unison.
"Who sent this child here? Go and find out." The great elder spoke quickly and simply, and an invisible aura silenced all the foundation-building monks.
"Great Elder...you...formed a pill?"
The Great Elder nodded: "In a few days, I will enter the back mountain and become the Supreme Rank."
"Congratulations, Great Elder!"
Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After forming the elixir, they would no longer have the power within the sect. Naturally, they no longer had to worry about the great elder competing for disciples with them. For a moment, all the elders had different expressions and were thinking about it. How can we successfully capture this child in the house?
There was no need for him to continue talking. Naturally, some Qi Refining disciples rushed to contact the foundation-building monk who brought Chen Mo. Not long after, the foundation-building deacon came here.
"I've seen you all, pay my respects to the great elder!" The middle-aged monk who led Chen Mo came here and saluted everyone.
"No courtesy." The great elder said calmly: "You are the messenger leading this child. Let me ask you, what are the qualifications of this child?"
The middle-aged monk coughed awkwardly: "First Elder... This child is eighteen years old this year. He is the illegitimate son of a wealthy family in Qinfeng County. His qualifications are average... and he is still 70% marrow cleansed."
As soon as these words came out, the elders were dumbfounded. After thinking about it for a long time, they found out that this child was actually over his age! Moreover, the qualifications are still lower than average. Even if you can stay there for three days, it is not worth cultivating vigorously!
Cultivation, practice, cultivation aptitude and xinxing are indispensable, but in terms of the importance of the two, aptitude is naturally more important. For example, it is also about absorbing spiritual energy. A person with poor aptitude can absorb it fully in one hour, while a stick of incense with good aptitude is more important. If the absorption is full, how big will the gap be over time?
But character is also very important. It is the condition that determines how far a cultivator can go on this road. Perseverance, perseverance, and wisdom are all indispensable.
"Three years overage! This gap cannot be made up by having a good character..."
"Forget it, forget it. Chu, I'd better pick other good prospects, and I'll leave this one to you."
"Everyone, wait a minute, I'll take the first step!"
.....
Knowing that Chen Mo was over the age limit, most of the foundation-building elders suddenly lost their motivation and left with their flying swords.
Most of them are advanced practitioners, and they are very particular about their age. If they start practicing at the age of eighteen, they will have to be at least twenty-five years old to refine the tenth level of Qi. After that, there is no telling how many Difficult.
And a fifteen-year-old marrow-cleansing monk can almost become a monk at the eleventh level of Qi Refining within ten years. In comparison, the gap is obvious.
But they are not all gone. The previous Elder Liu stayed. Their weapon-refining lineage does not care about the quality of their qualifications, as long as they are not too bad. On the contrary, character is the most important thing. The weapon-making lineage pays attention to concentration and has great abilities. Only those with perseverance can succeed, and he is more optimistic about Chen Mo.
Also left behind is Huo Mingyuan, the foundation-building elder who planted vegetation. In the same way, their lineage also pays more attention to centrality. After that, there is the lineage of alchemy, making talismans, and carving magic circles...
The Great Elder looked at this stone house with memories in his eyes. Two hundred and eighty years ago, he was also a member of the trial. He persisted in the Heart Refining Stone House for five days, and after he came out, he joined the most powerful fighting force. Pulse, how many years have gone by to achieve today's achievements.
"I wonder how long this child can hold on..."
...
In the early morning, Gao Guard and Fat Guard left the door of the residence again. Chen Mo and Liu Qing suddenly opened their eyes from their nap when they heard the footsteps.
"start to act."
Chen Mo asked Liu Qing to check if there were any monks who were still asleep. He himself put the two corpses out, exchanged Xu Hong's clothes, and turned his body with his back to everyone and facing the corner. In this way, if he didn't use magic Exploring with consciousness, only looking at the outline and back, it was as if Chen Mo was asleep in the corner.
Liu Qing's double was also copied by him. The two of them looked around for a while and saw that there were no masked guards around, so they quietly slipped out.
"What should we do now?" Liu Qing lowered her voice and said.
Chen Mo: "The first goal is to find the exit, and the second is to find the antidote warehouse."
"Apartly or together?"
"Let's go together, in case I meet those guards and I can't handle it." Chen Mo thought for a while and said.
This exploration was much better than the previous ones. There was no need to worry about time. They left at midnight and just had to get back before Mao hour. It took more than two hours, enough to do a lot of things.
There are two places they must not go to, the stone house where they eat and the other two mining areas. Because the Lingshi Mine is working day and night, and they are resting, someone must be working. Otherwise, Chen Mo would go directly to the stone house where he eats to check the vents. Just fine outside.
In this jagged mine, Chen Mo and Liu Qing quickly explored and came to a place they had never been to before. In a dark mine tunnel somewhere, Chen Mo inadvertently glanced at the wall. Torch suddenly looked happy: "I have found the way I was taken here!"
He had specially identified the torches here when he came here. Thanks to this unintentional move, otherwise he would have missed this place. Liu Qing also came over: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The two passed through this cold and damp mine tunnel, and then passed a section of wall with shining crystal stones. Liu Qing's ears suddenly twitched and she whispered: "There are guards ahead, be careful!"
Without him having to finish his words, Chen Mo had already recited the magic formula silently, used the concealment technique, and stuck it to the stone wall, gradually integrating with the mountain and becoming indistinguishable from each other.
Liu Qing also hid. As he said, two guards passed by. However, they were not wearing masks at the moment. Their faces were red from drinking. They helped each other and left with silly smiles. They didn't show much emotion. Know and investigate.
When they were far away, the two of them revealed themselves. Chen Mo frowned: "Is there someone drinking? Go over and take a look."
Returning to the house where he came from, where the thin monk was stabbed to death, and the strong man who resisted, Chen Mo pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two people in the house not far away.
One of them was the one with the whip. Chen Mo was deeply impressed by him, but the other one didn't know. The two were talking about some sect matters. Chen Mo didn't pay too much attention, but he could tell that the two of them were a little drunk. His speech became increasingly awkward.
"What are you doing?" Liu Qing asked in a low voice when he saw that Chen Mo didn't move for a long time.
"Shh!" Chen Mo said silently: "When they get drunk, we will go in and take off their clothes, put them on and walk away swaggering, right. Senior brother, can you make them drunker?"
"Of course it's no problem." Liu Qing said confidently.
The two of them waited here for a while. After a while, there was no movement in the room. Chen Mo and Liu Qing boldly opened the door and went out. Sure enough, two guards collapsed on the table. Liu Qing stepped forward, nodded at them a few times, and turned back. He said to Chen Mo: "That's enough, it's enough for them to faint for another hour."
