Turned a corner while ascending

Bai Zhizhuo devoted himself to cultivation, but now the two encountered a little trouble again.

Now both of them are at the peak of the third rank, only one step away from the fourth rank, but this step is not so easy, it is not that the realm cannot be reached, but that both of them lack a little help.

This booster can be a third-grade purple grain pill, which contains a huge amount of spiritual power that may help them break through the barrier; it can be a certain cave, such as the practice room of Jintangya in Yuqiong Mountain, and it should be enough to accumulate enough spiritual energy after meditating for more than a month. The spiritual power is gone; it can also be a table of fairy dishes made by a high-level fairy chef, but the chances of encountering this are relatively slim.

Looking at the past and present, how many outstanding disciples are stuck in the step of ascending, which not only depends on their own strength, but also has a certain luck: like the Ziwen Dan given by Ye Nian before, it is very precious, but just During the meeting, Ye Nian asked for something, and the two of them needed it again, so they happened to catch up.

If you don't need external force, the two of you have practiced for more than ten years on the Dumu Peak, and you can naturally advance to the fourth-rank realm. However, time waits for no one, and Jin has his own set of crisis theories. The sooner one cultivates one's cultivation, the better. The fourth rank is different from other ranks. This is a critical period for the mastery of the upper and lower dantians, and one can comprehend the Dao species. The avenue of time, which is regarded as taboo in the cultivation world, needs to be incorporated into Jin Que's various insights after reincarnation, and he can't wait.

Zi Wen Dan is rare, very rare.Back then, a few bottles of the lowest-grade purple-pattern pills could fetch a sky-high price of eight high-grade spirit stones, but now what they need is a third-grade purple-pattern pill, which is something that has a price but no market.

Kunyuan Jianmen is one of the most prominent sects, and of course they also have Ziwen Pills in reserve, but at that price... the corners of Jin's mouth twitched just by glancing at it, thinking that he wouldn't be able to save enough in another hundred years Contribution.

In addition to the four holy places, Jin just happened to know a few places in the blessed land, including the old lair of his old friend Gong Shiming: Mohai Yucao.

This is the paradise that Gong Shiming inherited from his master. It is located in the endless sea, surrounded by countless sea spirit beasts. It can be said that it is surrounded by demons. It is basically impossible to find the correct entrance without anyone leading the way. Very likely.

There are a few other places that haven't been discovered yet, but Jin made a calculation. With his current cultivation level, he would be dead if he crashed into the periphery of it, not to mention that there are still a few difficult things inside. .

Perhaps, he can find a way to contact Gong Shiming?Speaking of which, according to the trajectory of the previous life, where did Gong Shiming, who was so popular after the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm, go?I have no impression at all.

Jin Que: "It's better to think about Ziwen Pill, maybe you can go to Xianwang Town to have a look."

Bai Zhizhuo: "Immortal King Town?"

Jin Que: "Xianwang Town is an important town attached to the secluded mountain range. It is larger than Liufeng Town. There are many prosperous families in it. In the center, there is a snowy city that is snowing all the year round. It is the old nest of Xiangrui Auction House. The advantage of the auction house is all kinds of high-grade pills, maybe you can get Ziwen pills from there."

Bai Zhizhuo: "Yongxuecheng is actually a city within a town?"

Jin Que: "The division of areas in the Eight Great Divine Mountains is different from the common customs, you just need to get used to it."

Bai Zhizhuo thought for a while, and said: "The value of the third-grade Ziwen Dan is too high, even if we see it, we may not be able to get it."

But Jin gritted his teeth and said: "You still have a part of the Sunburning Spiritual Liquid in your hand. Besides, we still have a lot of Fengdan. Although this thing is not of high grade, it is extremely rare. There will always be a craftsman who needs it."

Now that they had decided to go to Xianwang Town, the two of them went to the Zhangshitang to see if there was any convenient and easy errands they could take together, so that they could earn some contribution points.

The disciples of Kunyuan Sword Sect are not confined to the mountain guard formation, because even if the sect leader tells everyone to go out to play and take risks, it is estimated that few people will go out unless they have to go out to do missions It's time.

Zongmen tasks are divided into nine levels, and the difficulty from one to nine increases in order, and the corresponding contribution value is higher.

And the division of levels is not from one to the end. For example, if the same task has not been completed for a long time, then this task will be upgraded to a higher level, and the contribution value is high. There will always be disciples with high cultivation bases who are willing to do it.

And now, there is one task that sounds very simple but is difficult to execute all year round: team leadership.

The team leader wants to take a small group of young disciples out to practice, just like Ye Nian took his nine juniors to go out before, and he must ensure that all of them go out and come back.

Of course there is a purpose for training, or to collect some special spirit beasts that are not in the sect, or to go to some wild herb gathering spots that have long been assigned to the Kunyuan Sword Sect to gather some elixir, it sounds simple, but There are more accidents.

The Eight Great Divine Mountains are so big, hiding a high-level spirit beast in a certain place, or stepping into a certain Jedi by accident, or even being beaten by disciples of other sects without saying a word, etc., etc., this is a loss rate very tall task.

Now, apart from the need to expand manpower for the subordinates of several major peak masters of the outer sect, very few disciples would accept such tasks, so the difficulty of experience tasks has remained high all year round.

But this is not the first choice of Jin Que.

They met Elder Huang who they met when they came for the first time. Elder Huang received the two of them sincerely with a smile. Hearing that they were going to the vicinity of Yongxue City, he directly recommended a highest-level experience task to the two of them:

There is a mysterious "Alchemist" in the Xiangrui Auction House in Yongxue City. This alchemist is related to many high-grade pills auctioned by the Xiangrui Auction House in recent years. The two need to get as many clues as possible about this alchemist. , the more clues you bring back, the more contribution value you get back.

This seems to be a dangerous and clueless task. Elder Huang said that it would be best if he got a little bit of clues. If he didn't get any clues, that's okay. It would be fine if he brought back the elixir from this alchemist.

"Ya Alchemist" is a mysterious figure with only one title, and no one has seen his true face, so naturally no one knows his origin.

Jin took over the task, and the two walked out of the hall.

There is a quite big square outside the master hall. I have seen it during the evaluation of the disciples. It can accommodate thousands of people. Usually, the disciples in the sect are not very busy, so there is no such thing as crowding or blocking the road.

Therefore, when the three strangers blocked the way with a club in front of them, everyone would know that the visitor was not kind.

However, Jin looked at the gold thread on the necklines of the three of them. The first one was a third-rank disciple, and the others were second-rank disciples, so he raised his eyebrows: "Three juniors? What advice do you have?"

That third-rank disciple has a handsome appearance, a hulking back, tall, like a tower, thick black eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose, thick lips, handsome with a bit of toughness, at this time he took his eyes to carefully examine the two Looking at the appearance of the person, I felt that I had found the wrong person, and then I looked at the gold thread on the neckline of the person, especially the short man in front, and I felt a little murmured in my heart.

I had looked at the portrait carefully before going out, and I thought it was a new outer disciple, but I couldn't tell from the portrait that this short man was so...so...how should I put it, a little Weirdly amiable.

And why didn't anyone tell him that this little man is a fourth-rank senior brother?Then should I salute or not? It's not very polite to not salute, but to salute, it's really weak!

Let’s say it’s straight gut instinct, Yu Congxiao always felt that there was something wrong with this kid, although he gave people the impression that he wanted to be close, but he looked innocent and harmless, like a little white flower, a piece of white paper or something However, Yu Congxiao chose to avoid him.

As an upright person with a bit of a brain, Yu Congxiao made the final decision: ignore Jin Que, and confront Bai Zhizhuo directly: "I am Yu Congxiao, what is your name, please report your name first!"

However, Jin didn't get a response when he spoke for the first time, and he was not annoyed when he was taken for granted. He touched his nose, took a step back, and decided to watch the show.

Bai Zhizhuo stepped forward gracefully, and replied, "Bai Zhizhuo."

"Very good, Bai Zhizhuo, I want to challenge you, do you dare to accept it?"

Bai Zhizhuo looked at the tower that was a head taller than himself, thought about the weird challenge rules of the outer door, and felt that he could still get some benefits for himself, so he asked, "Are you a sword cultivator? Have you ever cultivated immortality?" kitchen?"

Yu Congxiao was taken aback for a moment, never expecting the topic to change so quickly, and was reminded by one of the younger brothers behind him that he patted his waist to remind him that his thick nerves were connected to his brain, so he was furious: "The kid is crazy! Yu has been in the market for more than 45 years." , worthy of your senior brother, you actually look down on me so much, just say it, take it or not!"

The rules of the outer sect: Disciples are not allowed to fight privately, and all conflicts must be resolved in the martial arts arena, and people with prestige in the sect must be found as witnesses.

This kind of fighting can increase the lottery. If you win, you will naturally gain fame and fortune. If you lose, then I am sorry, not only your lottery is gone, but your personal freedom is also temporarily gone...

This is why the challenge between disciples is unreasonable: the loser must serve as a disciple for the winner for a year. Make no mistake...how miserable.

Originally, no one would challenge the other party unless there was personal enmity.

Of course, the ones who initiated the challenge were those who thought they were stronger, tempted by lures, and threatened with words, so unless you stay in the mountain for the rest of your life, you will be tortured to accept the challenge one day, and then catch up with you. One year of free time.

When it comes to other people's territory, no one knows how to study it.Of course, there are also those who are not expected to suddenly turn defeat into victory, and instead lock up those who find fault for playing tricks, and it will be the turn of the instigator to want to die.

So such a strange rule here has really promoted the friendship and peace between the same sects. It has been a long time since no one took the initiative to challenge it. Now this scene before the Zhangshitang where people come and go is an anecdote. So the crowd of onlookers gradually increased.

Bai Zhizhuo's strength is not bad, rank three, he is already the top of the outer disciples, especially good-looking.

The long gown of the disciple's regular clothes is a bit elegant, and the inner shirt is still very slim, so where he should be thin, he looks quite strong, and the temperament of a man who is a lonely eagle landing on the cliff is still very strong. Very eye-catching.

So the onlookers shifted their attention from "Oh, there is a challenge between the third-rank senior brothers" to "Oh, this senior named Bai is so eye-catching". Regardless of men or women, his probing, hostile or fiery eyes made him more and more excited. The more uncomfortable, so impatiently said: "I'll ask you, have you ever practiced fairy chef, can you cook?"

Perhaps Bai Zhizhuo's tone was too "waiting for ordinary people", so Yu Congxiao subconsciously said, "No, no."

Bai Zhizhuo: "That's not interesting, please go ahead."

Yu Congxiao was furious: "What the hell, are you a sword cultivator? Show off your dignity as a sword cultivator! I challenged you, but you didn't accept it???"

Bai Zhizhuo: "Your dignity? I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

Yu Congxiao gritted his teeth: "No wonder Fairy Caicai said that you don't know etiquette, you are arrogant and ignorant, I have seen it, well, these are two middle-grade spirit stones, if you agree to me, these spirit stones will be yours, not a lucky draw ,how?"

Bai Zhizhuo knew where today's unreasonable disaster came from, looked at the two pitiful mid-grade spirit stones, and stretched his hand back.

Jin cooperated and put four middle-grade spirit stones in his hand.

"Here, these are four middle-grade spirit stones. If you get away immediately, these spirit stones will be yours, how about it?"

The onlookers roared with laughter.

Yu Congxiao was taken aback, embarrassed and angry, his face flushed red.

He sharpened his eyes, stared fiercely around, and only silenced the onlookers, before squeezing out a sentence through his teeth: "You kid, think clearly, the sect's challenge can never hurt people Life is not guaranteed when you go out!"

Bai Zhizhuo: "That's right, we are scheduled to leave the sect tomorrow, how about waiting for you then?"

Yu Congxiao's eyes widened. When he met this stubborn guy, his original intention was to win in the ring in exchange for a year's following of the opponent. This is what he swore to Fairy Caicai task!

Yu Congxiao was silent for a while, and after a while, he took out a thin piece of paper from his bosom with great heartache, and said with pain: "I have an invitation letter for the Eight Fresh Banquet, how about using this as a prize?"

From the moment the ugly piece of paper appeared and the words "Eight Fresh Banquet" appeared, the already quiet crowd became a little quieter, they could barely smell their breath, only Yu Congxiao's panting .

However, immediately afterwards, the crowd was in an uproar, shocked, gasped, and began to discuss in a small area, and their eyes were fixed on the invitation letter. His size, his ferocious eyes, maybe people stepped forward to tear him up and snatch the invitation letter.

This small piece of paper is like a small sun, gathering everyone's attention. The words "Eight Fresh Banquet" buzzed in my ears, all of which indicated that this banquet was absolutely extraordinary.

Bai Zhizhuo didn't understand, so, the old god was there, but Jin's eyes lit up, excitedly grabbed Bai Zhizhuo's hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "Very good, we agreed!"
