At the foot of the Zongmen Mountain, the two of them bowed in front of the mountain gate with their hands raised.
But I saw a jade tablet in front of me. It was six feet high and engraved with three characters, called the Spirit-Eating Sect! There is a stone staircase avenue next to the monument. If you look inside, you will see misty clouds and mist, which cannot be seen clearly.
As for those two people, they were naturally Gu Xiaoxing and Du Siyu. At this moment, the two of them bowed in front of the mountain gate and waited. After a moment, their bodies tightened at the same time, and a terrifying consciousness descended on them, and there was a sound in their ears. A loud bell-like voice.
"Good! In the battle of Blackwood Forest, the two of you fought to the death to save the secret son of our sect, and you have made great contributions to the sect. You should be rewarded! The mountain gate... can enter!"
As soon as the sound fell, I saw the heavy fog condensed in the stone staircase avenue, turning into a group of gray and white clouds floating in front of the two of them. Du Siyu looked indifferent and stepped forward. It was obviously not the first time to enter the mountain gate.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes showed a mysterious look, and he followed the same example. He felt that the clouds were soft, as if he had stepped into the mud and fell into it, which happened to stabilize his body.
The clouds floated up, carrying the two of them straight into the sect's mountain. Gu Xiaoxing felt as if he was flying through the clouds and mist, and suddenly felt dizzy. In fact, with his strength at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, it was very easy to stabilize his body. But in panic, he still subconsciously grabbed at it, but he caught a soft jade arm.
Du Siyu's face immediately turned cold, and he swung his hand violently, but he couldn't shake it off, so he became angry and slapped him with his backhand. With a "snap", screams rang out in the mountains of the sect.
The clouds were rising in the east and moving in the west. Gu Xiaoxing didn't know how it flew. Anyway, it appeared in front of a hall in a daze. Out of curiosity, it covered its face in pain. A few fingerprints were faintly visible on its face. Next For a moment, the clouds suddenly dissipated, and he stumbled to the ground, almost falling.
Du Siyu landed firmly on the ground and glared at Gu Xiaoxing. His beautiful eyes were filled with anger, and he was ready to hit someone if he disagreed with her.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to answer the glare, so she thought the other party had some mental problem and secretly curled her lips, "Tch, you're so skinny, no one wants to touch you."
"Come in yet."
At this time, there was a voice coming from the main hall, but it was different from the previous voice at the mountain gate, and Gu Xiaoxing felt vaguely familiar.
The two people's expressions became serious. Gu Xiaoxing's eyebrows trembled slightly, and the palm prints on his face slowly disappeared. Then he stepped into the palace door. There were two people standing on the high hall in the palace. Gu Xiaoxing took a quick look and realized He knew why that voice sounded familiar, because one of those two people was his "great supporter", the sect's great elder Bai Zhenren.
Master Bai was also staring at Gu Xiaoxing, his face was calm and expressionless, but Gu Xiaoxing was a little frightened by his look, and couldn't help but lower his head, secretly feeling guilty.
Standing next to Master Bai is the old woman who came to rescue yesterday. When she came, Gu Xiaoxing asked Du Siyu that this old woman was the second elder of the sect and had accepted Du Siyu as a registered disciple.
In addition to the two people above the high hall, there is also a young man standing under the high hall. It is the bloody man who was rescued in the black wood forest yesterday. He is also the sect's secret son mentioned before. The two people in the hall have no expressions yet. , on the contrary, when the young man saw Du Siyu and the other two's eyes suddenly brightening, but it was not his place to speak at the moment, he could only nod towards the two of them and cast a grateful look.
Gu Xiaoxing and the two people met each other. Before Master Bai Da could speak, the second elder spoke first. She said: "Okay, I don't like these tortuous rules. Boy, I heard what happened yesterday. You very nice."
As she spoke, a crystal stone flew out from the second elder's cuff and landed in front of Gu Xiaoxing. She continued: "I will give you a piece of spiritual marrow alone to help you achieve breakthroughs in cultivation."
Gu Xiaoxing quickly thanked him and took it. He started with the spiritual essence. It looked only slightly larger than the spiritual stone, but the fluctuations of the spiritual power it contained were completely different. The spiritual essence was flowing inside, and the pure spiritual power seemed to be condensed in a liquid state. Among them, Gu Xiaoxing had the urge to absorb it immediately.
I licked my lips subconsciously, what a good thing!
Then, the second elder turned his gaze to Du Siyu, his eyes were obviously softer, and said: "Siyu, you are not a spirit-devouring body. Methods such as absorbing spiritual marrow to quickly improve your cultivation are not suitable for you. Come with me. My master has prepared spiritual liquid for you, which can strengthen your body, condense your consciousness, and help you break through to the eighth level of Qi Condensation in one fell swoop."
"Thank you, Master! The disciples of this outer sect competition are determined to be Master." Du Siyu bowed.
The second elder shook his head and smiled, then left with Du Siyu.
At this time, there were only three people left in the hall. Under the high hall, the young man looked calm and said nothing. Master Bai suddenly showed an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and said: "The cultivation level is improving very fast. In the blink of an eye, I can condense my energy." It’s on the fourth floor, I guess you’ve had a good meal in the sect recently!”
Gu Xiaoxing's heart was trembling, and she felt like she was being seen through. Could it be that Master Bai knew everything? His expression immediately became solemn, and he said respectfully: "I would also like to thank Uncle Bai for the kindness! Without Uncle Bai, there would be no Xiaoxing, and Xiaoxing would have no parents, but from now on, in Xiaoxing's heart, Uncle Bai will be If they are reborn as parents, as long as Uncle Bai gives an order, Xiaoxing will never dare to frown!"
Gu Xiaoxing became more and more excited as he talked, and even patted his chest with a sincere look on his face.
Master Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and secretly thought that this guy was thick-skinned. Before he could settle the score with him, he called him "Uncle Bai, Uncle Bai". He felt a little disgusted in his heart, but at the same time he felt as happy as if he had picked up a treasure.
Although Gu Xiaoxing played some tricks and took advantage of the spirit-devouring body, he was able to reach the fourth level of Qi Condensation in half a month after entering the sect. This was unprecedented. After pondering for a moment, Master Bai said slowly: "After all, it's still a little bit worse."
Gu Xiaoxing was slightly startled, not knowing what Master Bai meant, then he saw two more pieces of spiritual marrow flying in and floating in front of him, and then came the voice of Master Bai.
"Spiritual marrow is rare, and it is an excellent thing for the spirit-eating body to improve its cultivation. However, everything must be done in moderation, and your practice should be steady and solid. You can only absorb one piece of the three pieces of spiritual marrow every month. Wait until your cultivation is complete. Only after it is stable can the next piece be absorbed.”
Gu Xiaoxing remembers them one by one.
Later, Master Bai passed down two more techniques, one was a body technique called "Fang Cun Bu", and the other was an offensive technique called "Spirit Control Finger".
"That's it, that's it. Maybe it's a bit reluctant to get a ranking, but it's enough to practice in the outer sect competition."
Listening to Master Bai's words, Gu Xiaoxing was stunned.
What kind of external competition?
Did I say I wanted to participate?
Seemingly sensing Gu Xiaoxing's thoughts, Master Bai frowned and said, "What, you don't want to participate in the outer sect competition?"
Gu Xiaoxing asked weakly: "Is this outer sect competition dangerous?"
"Didn't you just say that you have to go up the mountain of swords and go down to the frying pan? Besides, we cultivators should strive for the Tao. If we encounter any danger, we will be timid. How can we seek immortality?" Bai Zhenren said angrily. He glared at Gu Xiaoxing and wanted to continue preaching, but when he saw the fear in the other person's eyes instead of decreasing, he changed his mind and coughed lightly, "But the outer sect competition is not a battlefield, so it is not dangerous."
Gu Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not dangerous, he had just recovered from the battle in the Black Wood Forest, so he agreed that as long as his cultivation reached the standard by then, he would participate in the outer sect competition.
"Alright, Chang Qing, let's send him down the mountain. He just returned to the sect, so you can take the opportunity to get acquainted with him." Bai Zhenren waved his hand impatiently.
"yes!"
The young man left the main hall with Gu Xiaoxing, and suddenly bowed and said: "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Junior Brother Gu and Junior Sister Du's life-saving kindness will be remembered by Chen Changqing in his heart. In the future, he will have something to say and do everything he can." .”
Gu Xiaoxing was startled when he heard this. Originally, he was still thinking about the competition, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly be so formal. He quickly helped him up, and then the two of them walked down the mountain while exchanging pleasantries and gradually became familiar with each other. In the meantime, Gu Xiaoxing asked some obscure things with the help of saving his life.
In the Soul-Eating Sect, the Spirit Control Technique is the basis for establishing the sect. The Spirit-Eating Body is introduced into the sect to practice. Because the Spirit-Eating Body practices very fast in the early stage, it has become the backbone of the sect. It only took two years for the Soul-Eating Sect to establish its sect. After a hundred years, it has been able to compete with those sects in the small wasteland that have been passed down for thousands of years.
But just over ten years ago, the Soul-Eating Sect suddenly discovered that the Soul Control Technique was leaked. No reason was found, and the situation even got worse. After a thorough investigation, a force called the Soul-Eating Sect was discovered. This force The force does the same thing as the Soul-Eating Sect, secretly attracting the Soul-Eating Body, and continues to grow, but it happens to be extremely mysterious.
In response to this, the Soul-Eating Sect naturally could not allow it to grow. In anger, it also launched a mass stranglehold on it, but the effect was minimal. The home of the Soul-Eating Sect could not be found, so that it could not get rid of the root. In desperation, the leader of the Soul-Eating Sect cast a secret trap and waited for the opportunity to uproot it.
However, the Soul Devouring Sect is also very cunning. Over the years, several hidden objects have been pulled out one after another. Chen Changqing is one of those hidden objects. It is not difficult to tell from his words. He seems to have discovered something that led to his own death. Exposed, as for what was discovered, it was a sect secret and he couldn't say.
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this and Chen Changqing's description of all the dangers he encountered as an Anzi, he was speechless. He once again reminded himself that the world of cultivation is dangerous and he must never leave the sect!
