There are really "acquaintances" everywhere...

"It's not very good, but it's okay." Although the man's tone was a little weak, he was full of anger, as if he couldn't be defeated.

Zhang Yufeng listened to this ambiguous sentence and thought for a while before he understood it.

When the other party said "not too good", it actually explained his true situation.

And this is obviously an optimistic statement-not that it is not very good, but it is not good at all.

He said "but it's okay" in the second half of the sentence, in order to leave a step down for obedient people.

If the other party just asks casually and doesn't want to help him, he can leave immediately after hearing such "comfort" without feeling guilty.

Judging by his appearance, he might have injured his abdomen before, because the frequent exercise of climbing the heavenly steps caused the wound to open, but there are no shops in front of the village, and there is no doctor or elixir, so he can only bear it by himself. .

Zhang Yufeng felt that this person was able to persevere even though he was injured, and he could still maintain such an optimistic attitude, he should have a good disposition.

But judging by his appearance, he is probably not as good as ordinary casual cultivators, and there is no elixir to stop the bleeding.

Because he lives in Linggutian and is Wu Qi's big apprentice, Zhang Yufeng himself usually grows some herbs, such as low-level spiritual plants, and because the storage ring in his hand does not have much space, he makes them Ointments or pills.

That thing was worthless, and it couldn't even accumulate the contributions of the sect. It was just to be prepared for any danger, and for peace of mind, Zhang Yufeng took out some things to stop bleeding from the storage ring without much hesitation.

He asked his juniors to go first, but he himself stopped and handed the medicine in his hand to that person.

"The self-made hemostatic ointment, if you don't mind, please use it, this one is taken internally, this one is applied externally."

That person knew in his heart that if he didn't stop bleeding, he might collapse immediately due to excessive blood loss, and he couldn't hold on for long, so he didn't pretend to accept it immediately: "Thank you for your kindness! My name is Zhou Xi, if you dare to ask This friend's name?"

Everyone has their own destiny. Although Zhang Yufeng decided to lend a helping hand, he didn't intend to be responsible for his subsequent itinerary, and he didn't expect the other party to return anything for his help. It was just a chance meeting.

So he bowed his hands to this person and said "Zhang Yufeng, there will be a period later", then turned around and quickened his pace to catch up with Linggutian's team.

Seeing Zhang Yufeng catching up, a younger brother asked, "Brother, is that man a foreigner? The accent is not from the Central Plains, right?"

"It really doesn't sound like it. It should be a casual cultivator who came here for fame." Zhang Yufeng hurried a few steps, somewhat panting, and could only slowly adjust his breathing.

That junior just thought the journey was boring, so he asked casually, seeing that Zhang Yufeng was a little tired, so he stopped asking.

They quickly forgot about the man they encountered on the road and moved on.

Zhou Xi got the plaster and didn't suspect anything. He opened the bottle and swallowed the elixir, then poured the plaster from another bottle on a cloth strip, tied it around his waist, and wrapped it around his wound.

——With his current appearance, there is no need to worry about whether others will harm him... How bad can it be?

The elixir was alright, after taking it, there was a burst of anger rushing up from the dantian, but the plaster was more powerful, it was very irritating when it was first applied, and Zhou Xi gritted his teeth in pain, but then it was a bit cool, as if it had frozen the wound, finally It doesn't hurt as much as before.

After an unknown period of time, when the wound obviously felt better, Zhou Xi slowly started on the road.

He is not a local, he doesn't even live in the Moxun Mountains, but comes from afar.

In fact, a few years before Qing Yufeng announced the opening of this year's Tianjie Collection, he had already started to come here.

Encountered many big and small crises along the way, and managed to resolve them one by one. It was probably because of bad luck that he trekked here. He had just entered the mountain when he encountered a monster whose strength was much higher than his, and was seriously injured.

He is a casual cultivator without a teacher, and the spirit stones he has accumulated are almost exhausted on the road, and the elixirs he replaced probably won't last long.

But the Tianjie collection of Qingyumen is almost over, and soon the mountain gate will be closed, and it will be meaningless to climb up again, so he can only do his best.

In the beginning, there were two new companions, but in the end, people felt that he was dragging their feet, and slowly walked away.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't blame others for being ruthless, so he didn't complain, it was just because of a little thought in his heart, he persisted hard.

Looking up at the endless stone steps, Zhou Xi smiled bitterly.

——I don’t know what treasures this Qingyumen has, but after hearing the name only once, it made him desperately want to come here...

At this time, a gray short-tailed sparrow suddenly flew across the air, landed on his shoulder accurately, and touched his shoulder with its short beak.

"Xiao Hui, are you full?" Zhou Xi reached out his hand to touch the little thing, and said happily: "Persist for a while, we will be there soon!"

The quokka touched his finger again in return.

……

Zhang Yufeng and others broke through the illusion on the stone steps and finally came to the mountain gate of the inner peak of Qingyumen.

As in previous years, less than [-]% of people can pass the test of the heavenly illusion.

Compared with other people who came to the inner peak of Qingyumen for the first time, disciples from the outer peak like Zhang Yufeng obviously had an advantage.

First of all, they return to Neifeng every month to exchange contribution points, and secondly, they will also get in touch with the disciples of Neifeng.

Among the Neifeng disciples who received those who passed the first-level test this time, there were people familiar with Linggutian, and to a certain extent, they could provide some convenience.

They were arranged to enter a special residence, and waited for the end of the Tianjie Collection and the closure of the mountain gate before they could start the second-level test.

Because Zhang Yufeng and others started climbing the stairs after finishing most of the work in the inner peak, so when they reached the inner peak, there was not much time left.

But for those of them who have passed the test, these are things in the past, and whether others can pass or not has nothing to do with them.

Being able to take a rest and relax somewhat, Zhang Yufeng couldn't help thinking of the people he met before in his spare time.

——I don’t know if that person has passed the heavenly rank now... If he can really pass and become their competitor, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with.

Although the person who claimed to be Zhou Xi was seriously injured, Zhang Yufeng could only feel a little coercion from the other party, but it also made him sure that the other party should be a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation establishment.

As for the spiritual root and strength, it is still unknown, but it must not be Danxiu, otherwise why would he not have all the herbs and elixirs on his body.

Soon, when a not-so-familiar figure appeared in the courtyard, the question that flashed through Zhang Yufeng's mind was answered.

"Zhang Daoyou, I came here specially to thank you for lending a helping hand so that I could pass the Heavenly Rank smoothly."

Although he had some pills, his injuries were serious after all. Zhou Xi worked hard for a long time before he finally climbed to the heavenly ranks.

In fact, the environment on the steps had no effect on him at all, not because he was very powerful, but because he buried himself in climbing the mountain and didn't notice how many steps were ahead.

He only knew that he had to take it step by step, because the only person who could help him at this time was probably himself.

Hard work paid off, and the Heavenly Tribulation Illusion, which had influenced almost everyone, did not have much impact on Zhou Xi, so that the journey behind him was simple and monotonous.

Although injured, Zhou Xi couldn't stop chatting with the short-tailed gray bird on his shoulder.

"Xiao Hui, to tell you the truth, I have felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity since I entered the boundary of Mo Xun Mountain, and it seems that I have been here before. Do you think it is strange? Could it be that I and this Mo Xun Mountain Destiny?"

The short-tailed bullfinch jumped on his shoulder twice, and pecked his side face with its short beak, as if to say, "Stop thinking about it and climb quickly", which made Zhou Xi feel even more lonely.

Fortunately, this journey has finally come to an end now, and he arrived at the inner peak mountain gate of Qingyumen before the end of Tianjieji.

Later, in order to formally thank them, Zhou Xi asked the Neifeng disciple who was in charge of receiving them where Zhang Yufeng and others lived.

Zhang Yufeng was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Xi again, but he couldn't help but say "it's true".

He politely said: "Zhou Daoyou was able to pass through the illusion of Heavenly Tribulation, which shows that he has his own ability. I just did it with my bare hands before, so you don't have to remember it."

"I hope that everything goes well for us in the future, and we can enter the inner peak, then we will be brothers!"

The tone of the other party's speech was very sincere, with longing and unlimited expectations. When he said these words, not only did he not feel that he was daydreaming, but instead he had a feeling of yearning.

Zhang Yufeng was originally an honest person, so he couldn't say anything high-sounding, so he could only reply: "Then follow the good words of fellow Taoist Zhou."

Less than two days after Zhou Xi reached the inner peak, the celestial rank gathering of the Qingyu people ended every ten years, and the gate of the inner peak was closed.

A small number of people passed the heavenly ranks and the heavenly rank illusions, while more people were shaken by the illusions and lost the motivation to continue to persevere, so that the dawn of victory was in front of them, but they missed it.

And the lucky few people can't be too happy too early, because what awaits them is not once and for all, but a progressive test.

Of course, before that, they had to participate in a ceremony to test their spiritual roots.

Among these people, not all of them are ignorant of their spiritual roots.

In fact, being able to stand here shows that I have some strength, and some even come from a family of cultivation or casual cultivators, and I have long been aware of my spiritual roots.

However, this ceremony is very necessary for Qingyumen, so everyone did not miss it, and all their spiritual roots were tested.

Zhang Yufeng and several disciples of Linggutian are all ordinary three spiritual roots. Such spiritual roots can't be regarded as the worst, but they are not uncommon.

They have long known that they have no advantage in talent, so they are not jealous when they see other people's double spiritual roots or even single spiritual roots.

——Talent is a gift from God, you can’t decide for yourself at all, instead of envying others, it’s better to see what you can do, it’s more practical!

Zhou Xi also had the same idea as them - he is also the root of three spirits.

However, compared to the resignation of Zhang Yufeng and others, Zhou Xi is very optimistic.

He feels that the more spiritual roots he has, the wider the path he can take in the future and the more things he can try, which is not bad for him who has "wide range of interests".

In fact, he has tried a lot of things in the road of cultivating immortals in these years.

It's just that alchemy and weapon refining are things that consume a lot of spirit stones in the early stage, and it is really difficult for him to fiddle with them, while the cost of array symbols and sword training is relatively small, so they are things he prefers to do.

Perhaps because of his interest, his progress in these two areas is also the fastest.

Zhou Xi often came up with a novel idea or move, and after practicing it, he found that most of it worked!

Always optimistic, he felt that this might also be a manifestation of talent...

……

Among the many people who have passed through the heaven-level illusion and participated in the spiritual root test ceremony, there are a few people who are particularly noticeable.

Among them are two single spiritual roots and four double spiritual roots, which come from the Lu family in the middle of Shan, the Xu family in the middle of Shu and the cultivation families around Mo Xun Mountain.

In addition, although there are a few people with three spiritual roots, they are also very attractive because of their special backgrounds.

For example, there is a child surnamed Xiao, who is from the same family as Xiao Ran, the direct disciple of Taoist Chongfa, and Xiao Yi, the master of Qingyuan Peak.

These people are the same as other people who participated in the second trial, but their fate may not be the same.

Participating in the entry trial has a lot of randomness - the dangers encountered are random, and the probability of success is naturally also random.

If those monks with ordinary three spiritual roots or even fake spiritual roots fail, no one will pay attention to them, and they can only wait for the mountain gate to open in disgrace.

This time, instead of coming in, go out, go down the mountain to go home or choose to stay in the outer peak, waiting for the next opportunity.

But for this kind of person who is born with good spiritual roots, even if he fails, it does not mean that he will leave Qingyumen with other losers.

In fact, a long time ago, they may have become the objects of Zhu Feng's secret observation, and they may also become the objects of their snatching.

Before a person starts cultivating immortals, talent is naturally the key factor that plays a decisive role.

Even Daoist Yuan Ying hopes that his disciples have good qualifications, so that teaching them can get twice the result with half the effort.

As soon as they cultivated, their master could better consolidate his power as soon as possible.

If a three-spiritual root is put together with a double-spiritual root or even a single-spiritual root, and cultivated in the same way, the former may take twice as long, and the effect will not be as good as the latter two.

This is like an ordinary student or a gifted student. Isn't it obvious which one saves effort and has a higher rate of return?

"I didn't expect that there would be so many people with such good qualifications participating in the entry trial this year." A disciple of Linggutian said worriedly.

Some of them, such as Zhang Yufeng, have participated once, but some of them are participating for the first time.

Originally, there was still some fluke in my heart, but now my self-confidence has been greatly weakened.

In the past, the aristocratic families of cultivation in Moxun Mountain and the casual cultivators around participated more, but this year there are even disciples from such families as the Lu family in Shanzhong and the Xu family in Shuzhong.

"This is also normal... Our family has a Taoist who worships the Fa and became a Taoist. Now that his reputation has risen to a higher level, of course more people will come to Mo Xun Mountain to learn from him."

"The Lu family in Shanzhong is far away in Jianjiang, so they came all the way."

"That Lu Chengwei is Jin Linggen, a swordsman. It seems that he is going to the ancestor Qiao at the Cliff Cave this time."

"Among the sword cultivators in the world, only our Patriarch Qiao is comparable to Patriarch Gu of the Shoushan Sword Sect. The Lu family in Shanzhong has produced such a good seedling. Naturally, we have to choose one of our sect and the Shoushan Sword Sect. ...Now it seems that they chose our ancestor Qiao."

"Once these people occupy the places, there will not be too many places left... I don't know how fierce the competition will be then."

"Although the master has found Fairy Zixuan, the Wu family also has disciples to participate in the trial, so how can they cover everything."

Speaking of this, everyone's will is unavoidably depressed, and the good mood of breaking through the heavenly illusion with ease before has completely disappeared.

Zhang Yufeng looked at several juniors, and quickly comforted him: "Don't panic, don't rush, take it slowly step by step, no matter how powerful these people are, how to occupy the quota is also Zhu Fengfeng's main concern. Prepare yourself and do your best.”

It's not that others don't know this truth, it's just that when they hear the harsh news suddenly, it's inevitable that they will feel a little depressed.

Later, Zhang Yufeng ran into Zhou Xi again, and found him sitting on a big rock outside the courtyard, feeding his short-tailed bullfinch with spiritual grain, seemingly unaffected by all kinds of news.

Zhang Yufeng didn't believe that Zhou Xi didn't hear anything, so he admired his calmness even more.

At this moment, Zhou Xi looked at his bird and said to himself: "If you don't get selected, you have to go back the same way from the top of the sky... Oh my god, just thinking about it makes people want to cry! Let's still Work harder and try to stay..."

After a few days of recuperation, his injury healed extremely quickly, and with Neifeng providing healers and medicinal materials, his body recovered even more quickly.

This also strengthened Zhou Xi's determination to stay here.

——Staying in such a rich and powerful sect is much better than sleeping in the open!

……

Long before the outer disciples found out about the "competitor", Xiao Ran knew all kinds of information.

It's not that he didn't listen to Taoist Chongfa's words and went to pay attention, it's because Master Hanjing got the news of Waifeng, so he ran over to inform Qiao Heng immediately without stopping, and said all kinds of things, every detail.

And Xiao Ran, who had been watching from the sidelines, naturally heard everything.

"I haven't heard of the name Lu Chengwei. It must have been born by Lu Hongzhuo and those guys... It's been a long time since I remembered the name Lu Chengping, hehe..."

Xiao Ran sneered in his heart and said, the original Lu Chengping is now the young master of the Lu family in Shanzhong, while Lu Chengran, who is also of the same generation as him, has long been wiped out.

When he was in the Lu family in Shanzhong, more than half of those unpleasant memories came from this father and son.

I don't feel it when I don't say it, but I feel uncomfortable when I say it.

Qiao Heng now feels that Xiao Ran's emotions are very experienced, so he can obviously notice that he has become very cold and silent after listening to the real person Han Jing, which is completely different from his usual laughing and heartless appearance.

Even when he was "activating" with the little fur ball at this time, he didn't show much smile.

The little guy probably also felt Xiao Ran's mood. Honestly, he pinched his ears and rubbed his belly, and even put his little claws on Li Xiao Ran's hands. He looked like "you can do whatever you want", how cute it is Clever.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Heng was never used to guessing, so he usually asked Xiao Ran directly.

Xiao Ran, who was sitting on the bed meowing, suddenly came to the side of the bed and threw himself on him: "Others say, I'm afraid that you and Master won't love me if there is a newcomer between Yuanya and Houfeng, so I'm preventing you from accepting disciples."

"It's all nonsense, don't pay attention to it." Qiao Laozu was afraid that he would throw him, so he quickly reached out and hugged him.

Xiao Ran hangs on him, his mouth is close to the opponent's lips, but he just stops very close and doesn't fall down.

Qiao Heng was still a little unnatural to this state, and didn't know whether to take a step forward, or to abide by etiquette and take a step back.

However, Xiao Ran didn't give him this time and opportunity, and directly bit his lower lip, quite forcefully.

After biting, someone said sinisterly: "Tell me, should I make this nonsense real?"
