After reading the relevant content of the contract that day, Mu Tianliao didn't mention the relevant matters again, and turned to concentrate on cultivation.

The status of inner disciples is much higher than that of outer disciples.Not only can you issue tasks to hire outer disciples to serve you, but you can also listen to some elders' lectures.There will also be some preferential treatment when doing business in normal times

Although everyone's cultivation methods are different, the cultivation experience of those predecessors is worth referring to.And when you encounter bottlenecks or incomprehensible parts during cultivation, someone can give you advice, which can also make the cultivation path smoother.

And if the luck comes, a certain elder takes a fancy to him and takes him in as a disciple, maybe he will be prosperous in the future.

In fact, after a new inner disciple enters the inner sect, the sect will arrange for monks from the sect to come over, such as the peak master and various elders, and let them choose disciples.Once you are spotted, you can be selected as a registered disciple.If you perform well in the future and get blue eyes, you will have the opportunity to become a direct disciple.

And Mu Tianliao, who was added later, undoubtedly missed the Apprentice Meeting and was included among the most common inner disciples.

Unlike the scattered outer doors, the competition between the inner doors is more intense.

In addition to the main peak, there are five peaks in Shangganzong, namely Chihuo Peak, Liuquan Peak, Jinrui Peak, Qingmu Peak, and Pantu Peak.The five peaks are both cooperative and competitive.Every 50 years, Shangqianzong will hold an internal competition called "Fengmanghui". All the contestants are Wufeng disciples. The outcome of the Fengmanghui will affect the cultivation resources in Shangqianzong for the next 20 years. distribute.

Therefore, every time the apprentice recruitment meeting, the master of Wufeng will take the initiative to recruit disciples, recruit disciples who match his own faction style and have excellent aptitude, and train them to become disciples who will fight in the future, so as not to be at a disadvantage in the competition of new disciples.

The disciples who are selected at the apprentice meeting will be counted as registered disciples.In name, he is the disciple of the peak master of that peak, but in fact, he may not have many chances to get in touch with the peak master.And those who are really counted as peak master's disciples are direct disciples.

Not everyone can become Wufeng's registered disciples. Although some disciples are included in the inner sect, they do not have the characteristics of two eyes. If they cannot attract those with high vision, they will not be selected and classified as The most common inner disciple.During the edge meeting, you only have the right to be a spectator, and you are not eligible to appear on the stage.

However, even if they become ordinary inner disciples, their status is much higher than that of outer disciples.And the future is long, even if he is not selected at the apprentice acceptance meeting, if he has a more eye-catching performance in the future, he can still be included in the five peaks' registered disciples.

Just like now, Mu Tianliao looked at the five letters in front of him.

The content of the letter is similar, they all see his bones are strange, and his aptitude is extraordinary, and they hope that he will be included in the five peaks and become a well-known registered disciple.It's just that these five letters are from Wufeng respectively. The difference other than the signature is that the objects of praise in the content are different.

The letter of Chihuofeng praises the goodness of Chihuofeng, the letter of Liuquanfeng praises the rich resources of Liuquanfeng, the praise of Qingmufeng of Qingmufeng, the praise of Pantufeng of Pantu Peak...

The black cat looked at the letters that came in one after another, curiously wanting to see the contents inside.Mu Tianliao didn't mind either, and let the black cat look at each letter one by one, getting a look of disapproval from the other party.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yao Yuanyu, the black cat can almost see the tricks in these letters at a glance - a lot of empty words, a lot of praise for himself, but there is nothing except a seemingly useless identity May.

This is simply an attempt to put a lot of empty words to coax people to work hard!

The black cat looked back at Mu Tianliao, worried that this stupid human being would be deceived by the hype on the letter, so it swept its tail and swept those carefully packaged letters to the ground.

It seems that Shang Qianzong is under the control of that acquaintance, right?It must be too courageous for the subordinates to deceive his research object so blatantly.

The black cat's unceremonious disturbance did not make Mu Tianliao feel unhappy, on the contrary, seeing the black cat's actions, he only felt warm in his heart.

"You are so smart, you understand the problems inside, right?" Mu Tianliao rested his chin on his hand, with a slight smile on his face, looking at the disgusted black cat, "You don't want me to go?"

The black cat thought for a while, nodded silently, and swept its tail at the same time, obviously expressing its displeasure at Mu Tianliao's behavior of knowingly asking questions.But Mu Tianliao only deepened his smile and picked up the black cat.

"With you here, how could I go..." Mu Tianliao said with a bit of helplessness, "You can't bring monsters in the inner sect."

This was a decision he made up his mind to make after thinking about it for a while.

Of course he knew about Wufeng's registered disciples, and thanks to Jing Yuanshuo's blessing, he knew more about these things.

Jing Yuanshuo got into the inner sect by cheating, so it is naturally impossible to be selected as a registered disciple.Therefore, after entering the inner sect, he realized that Wufeng's disciples had a higher status and wanted to squeeze into Wufeng.But there are so many disciples who hold the same idea in the inner sect, there is no shortage of Jing Yuanshuo.

Therefore, Jing Yuanshuo frequently collected information about Wufeng, wishing for a quota of Wufeng disciples.And because Mu Tianliao was frequently sent to collect information by him, he also passively learned about these things.

Of course, he could see the trickiness in the letter.He even knew that this was Wufeng's established routine—once he noticed that a disciple who had no sect affiliation was about to become famous, he would immediately win him over like this.

There is no promise of benefits, no prospect for the future, just pretending to be Wufeng is a huge temptation.

It might sound like overkill, trying to pull people into your faction without promising any benefits.But there are a lot of inner sect disciples who don't mind this and wish to enter Wufeng upside down, including Jing Yuanshuo.

But Mu Tianliao didn't want to join Wufeng that much.It is true that he does not want to give up the opportunity to practice, but wants to go up and gain stronger strength.

However, becoming Wufeng's registered disciple was not a good choice for him.

Because he clearly remembered that one of Jing Yuanshuo's gains from selling himself was the identity of a named disciple.

Thinking of his previous humiliating experience, Mu Tianliao's eyes darkened a little, and he tapped the table with his finger.

In a peak, only the direct disciples can get the personal teaching of the peak master. It is very good for the registered disciples to get the guidance of the direct disciples, and more people are waiting for a vague "peak master's blue eyes".The Edge Club is basically a battlefield for personal disciples, and the registered disciples are just making soy sauce.

If he became a named disciple, he would not be able to stay in Lingtian like now, but would have to stay in a certain peak for a long time.But the self who made such a choice did not have any obvious gains.

Moreover, the kind of quota that can become a bargaining chip, the quota that Jing Yuanshuo is extremely eager for...

Looking at the letters that were swept all over the floor, Mu Tianliao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Perhaps throwing them away is the right choice."

Wufeng asked him to make a choice, so he chose not to.That's what seems fair.

and……

Mu Tianliao clenched his fist slightly.

He's still immature and still too weak.If it's this time, he doesn't want to meet certain people, it will remind him of certain things.

The black cat was keenly aware of the boy's emotional changes.The other party seemed to have remembered something bad, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and his hands had already clenched into fists, as if he was enduring something.

In the past, this human being would behave like this, but it was never more obvious than this time.

What's going on here?Being bullied?

The black cat leaned over and observed curiously, then touched Mu Tianliao's hand with its tail.

If you ask for it, it's not that you can't help avenge yourself or something.

The soft and slightly itchy touch brought back Mu Tianliao's attention. He looked at the kitten on the table, who raised his head slightly, as if he didn't care about Mu Tianliao's state, but the soft and flexible tail was different from the deity. , hooking Mu Tianliao's hand once and for all.

"Pfft..." Mu Tianliao couldn't help laughing, and the resentment brought up by the past memory also diluted a little.He buried his face into the body of the black cat, causing the other person to take two steps back immediately, eyes full of condemnation.

Briquette was dressed in a big, glossy black cat. Except for the eyes, nose, and paw pads, the whole body was almost pure black, without a trace of variegation.If it weren't for his pair of copper bell-sized, amber-like eyes, it would be almost impossible to notice it in the dark for the first time.Its eyes are like gems, in the dark night, they will glow faintly, like lights lit in the dark, which makes people want to follow them.

Mu Tianliao once tried to bathe the black cat.However, without exception, they were violently resisted.The other party would rather jump into the water and swim by himself than take a comfortable bath in the warm water under Mu Tianliao's service.

Briquette is a special monster, he knows it.Zhou Qing's attitude hinted at one thing - the briquettes might have been born in an extraordinary and little-known place.At least not known to the general public.Because he has never heard of any monsters that have the ability to transform into humans.

That's too weird.

No matter how much he asked, Senior Brother Zhou Qing was unwilling to continue talking. Mu Tianliao also tried to find relevant information in Zangshu Pavilion, but he didn't know whether it was because of insufficient level or lack of energy. In the vast sea of ​​books, he did not Find what you want.

Asking Gu Ping is a bad idea.The other party is too shrewd, and it is estimated that the moment he asks the question, he can guess why he asked this matter.This matter involved briquettes, and Mu Tianliao didn't really want the other party to know.

Although he has noticed that the other party sometimes looks meaningfully at the briquettes.

What kind of environment is there that can give birth to such a wonderful monster like briquettes?

Refusal to become a registered disciple was a decision he made in light of his current situation.

His inner disciple status was obtained by that senior.Although the identity of the other party can probably be guessed, this kind of accidental opportunity cannot be used as the basis for long-term development.Going to the inner sect rashly may affect the progress of cultivation due to various emergencies. It is better to follow the previous arrangement and usually stay in Lingtian. If the elders who are interested give lectures, they will go to the inner sect to listen to the lectures.Although it was a bit troublesome to travel, he would rather have it than to leave the coal balls completely.

And Zhou Qing didn't lie about one thing.That is the environment where Lingtian's aura is not inferior to that of the inner sect.It is even thicker than the range outside Wufeng.Mu Tianliao was not qualified to step into the range of Wufeng in his previous life, so he doesn't know how Lingtian's aura compares with Wufeng's.

But considering the specialness of senior brother Zhou Qing, he felt that maybe he really could not lose to Wufeng——in that case, he was already in a cultivation environment comparable to Wufeng, so why did he rush to Wufeng?

Lingtian is undoubtedly more suitable for his cultivation.After all, his skills and abilities are obviously related to plants - although he doesn't know why, it should have something to do with his father.

Mu Tianliao didn't accept any of the invitations, just running back and forth as before.The Wufeng disciples who sent out the invitation letter were puzzled when they saw it.I thought it was because the new disciple didn't choose my side, but in the end, I realized that the other party didn't seem to pick any of them.

This is too crazy, right?In the past, when they sent invitation letters, none of those disciples refused, at most they would worry about which side to join.

When Gu Ping learned of this result, he smiled, not surprised by this development at all - he knew from the beginning that this person was extremely special.That being the case, it's not surprising to do something out of the ordinary.

It was not difficult for him to guess that the other party refused to stay in the inner sect because of the monster.Mu Tianliao's affection for that monster can be said to be beyond ordinary people's imagination. He even has a feeling that if someone takes action against that black cat, the end will be much worse than that of Mu Tianliao himself.

Gu Ping guessed Mu Tianliao's special treatment of the black cat, and for a moment ignored the special nature of the black cat itself.If someone really took action against that person and cat, no matter which party the action was aimed at, it would attract crazy revenge from the other party.And the strength of a certain black cat is enough to make it look down on a lot of monks.

In other words, it would be miserable to attack the black cat.Attacking Mu Tianliao made the tragedy worse.

Because it was a letter sent secretly, although Wufeng knew that other people had also sent invitations, ordinary disciples did not know about it.Seeing that Mu Tianliao, who has a high reputation, has been in the inner sect for so long and has no tendency to enter Wufeng, he is still wondering why Wufeng doesn't recruit people.

Because of the suzerain's entrustment and the previous receipt of the spirit grass, the black cat took the matter of suppressing Zhou Qing's demons as a daily routine, and whenever he saw that Zhou Qing was showing a tendency to return to an irritable state, he would attack at night and kill everyone except Zhou Qing. The parts other than the face were abused all over, and the clothes were removed after the incident, hiding the achievements and fame.

And Zhou Qing has already learned the true identity of the black cat from the suzerain.He had to be ashamed of his misunderstanding.If it wasn't for the other party's instructions not to tell Mu Tianliao the truth, he almost wanted to rush to Mu Tianliao to clarify the matter.

But no, the identity of His Royal Highness must be kept secret.

Thinking that the other party has taken the initiative to help him suppress the demons, Zhou Qing chose the latter between clarifying the facts and suppressing the demons.Therefore, when he met Mu Tianliao, he always felt that he had misled the other party.

Mu Tianliao is obsessed with cultivation, and now it has only been a short period of time since he introduced Qi into his body, and he has already risen to another level, becoming a disciple of the fifth level of Qi Refining, and there is even a faint tendency to break through the sixth level.This speed is not uncomfortably fast, at least among the new disciples, there are not many who can practice faster than him.

This also seems to confirm that there is no problem with the other party's qualifications.After Zhou Qing learned of what happened on Butian Ladder, he guessed almost immediately that Mu Tianliao's exercises were related to Lingzhi.

Just because the inner demons were suppressed, Zhou Qing would occasionally find Mu Tianliao to teach him some cultivation techniques, so as to prevent Mu Tianliao, who was just getting started, from taking detours on the road of practice.

And this has also become one of the reasons why Mu Tianliao rejected Wufeng's invitation—at present, Lingtian is almost suitable for his cultivation with the naked eye.

Mu Tianliao's practice has many bonuses, and finally climbed to the sixth level of Qi Refining on a certain day.At the same time, Zhou Qing also reminded Mu Tian and Liao Mo to follow the misunderstanding of cultivation - working behind closed doors.

Now Mu Tian and Liao Xiu's promotion almost all depends on meditating to absorb spiritual energy, and running exercises, and there is no training related to combat at all.Seeing that Mu Tianliao had no intention of actively seeking a fight, Zhou Qing, who had experienced it, quickly pointed out this problem, so as to prevent Mu Tianliao from getting into a bottleneck.

After Zhou Qing pointed out, Mu Tianliao finally realized this problem.He also felt very reasonable about Zhou Qing's proposal.So he put down his meditation for the time being, and sought to fight to digest the aura in his body.

New beginners are not allowed to go down the mountain for one year, and it is still within one year. The only places where they can fight are the monsters in the back mountain except for the competition platform.

After thinking about this point, Mu Tianliao packed his things, took the black cat with him, and set off directly for the back mountain.

Speaking of which, he went to the back mountain before, and he didn't seem to do anything other than catch fish to eat.

The range of the back mountain is very large, covering a series of terrains such as peaks and valleys. The roads inside are winding and winding, and monsters roam among them.It is the existence of Shangganzong's circle to train disciples, so there are many monsters and powerful beasts inside. In addition to restricting them from leaving, Shangganzong will not do other means to ensure that those monsters have the greatest wildness. The disciples of Shangqianzong have been tempered.

However, wild monsters that have not been domesticated are indeed quite dangerous, so Shangqianzong also restricted the range that disciples of different levels could enter.Disciples like the former Mu Tianliao who have not drawn their energy into their bodies can only wander around the periphery to see if they can find some valuable spiritual plants by chance.After drawing the air into the body and getting the pass token, you can pass through the formation and step into a deeper range.

Because of the real danger, Shangqianzong also reminded his disciples several times that if he has not mastered the fighting skills, he cannot enter the back mountain.However, Zhou Qing said that skills and tricks are useless to practice, and ten times of fighting with people is not as good as the harvest of facing a monster once.

Mu Tianliao got the pass token from Zhou Qing and went directly to the back mountain.Although the range of action is still at the periphery, it is at least much better than the outermost, and there are monsters suitable for fighting in the Qi refining period like him.

But he turned around and saw nothing.

Shaking around again, except for a little movement of vegetation, I still didn't find anything.

In the third circle, Mu Tianliao wished he could run up and look for the monster.

With the ability to identify plants, Mu Tianliao is confident that he will not get lost in the back mountains.However, he was sure that he had almost completed the large circle around the perimeter, and he still didn't see a single monster.

After running for a certain distance, Mu Tianliao was a little tired even though he had drawn his breath into his body.In desperation, he hugged the black cat and found a place to sit down and rest.

"Balball, what do you think is going on..." Mu Tianliao was very puzzled. "Not a single monster."

Looking for monsters?

The black cat opened its eyes wide and looked at Mu Tianliao.

Today, it saw that the human being was excited and eager to go to the back mountain, and even brought himself along, thinking that he was here for extra food, so he habitually used coercion on the road to drive away those who stood in the way.Didn't realize that this person came to find the monster?

No wonder it got farther and farther away from the river at the beginning. It turned out that they planned to change the ingredients?

Thinking of this, the black cat silently withdrew its coercion.However, the monsters who had been scared away would come back so quickly, so the forest was still empty, not even a single bird.

Mu Tianliao had no idea that the black cat in his arms was the one who was responsible for what he got. He only secretly worried that there would be no monsters to practice with, and he would not be able to gain actual combat experience.After all, to be honest, no matter in his previous life or in this life, he really had no experience in fighting with people with spiritual energy.

In the unnamed book, besides the mind method, there are supporting exercises, teaching him how to use spiritual power to fight people.Although the exercises did not restrict weapons, Mu Tianliao still took the most commonly used and most commonly used sword as a weapon.

There are no monsters, so he can only find other ones and make do with them first. Mu Tianliao took out his newly bought long sword, operated his body skills, concentrated his energy, poured spiritual energy into the long sword, and then turned around and slashed.

With a bang, the big tree was cut off in the middle and fell down in response.

The black cat was not frightened by the unexpected situation, but jumped on the broken tree and checked it.

The rough ones were worse than the cuts he made with his claws, and he chopped the tree open with brute force.

The black cat shook his head silently.

Alas, a little weak.

Seeing the tree fell, Mu Tianliao was initially satisfied, so he continued to look for monsters that could fight.

Not long after, Mu Tianliao suddenly heard some movement.

It seems... someone is fighting?

Gu Ping felt that he was probably unlucky today.

Hearing that there are good things in the back mountain, he looked at them with some interest, but for some reason, a large number of fleeing monsters appeared on the road, wave after wave, comparable to a wave of beasts.He had heard this matter from other disciples, but he didn't expect to encounter it himself.

Monster beasts fleeing for their lives are irrational. In order to avoid being accidentally injured, Gu Ping took the initiative to avoid the herd of beasts and prepared to go in another direction. Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped into the prepared trap.

In the forest, it's not only monsters that are dangerous, but also some seemingly harmless plants.

Gu Ping's legs were directly tied and hung up in the air.The Lingzhi who made the shot may not be intelligent, but it must know that it can weaken the opponent's attack to the greatest extent.

Feeling the vines tying him up around his body, Gu Ping could even guess what the other party wanted to do - hang him to absorb the nutrients from his flesh and blood.

If he hadn't been caught off guard, he would definitely have the ability to deal with this thing.However, the sudden swarm of beasts distracted his attention, and he got hit by accident.

No matter how active your mind is, no matter how much you prepare, if you can't use it well, it will be over.

"Gu Ping?"

A familiar voice sounded, Gu Ping looked over and found that it was an acquaintance.

At this time, he was hung in the air by Ling Zhi and hung upside down on the tree, which is not to say that he was not in a mess.Seeing Mu Tianliao, Gu Ping was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Mu Tianliao to appear here, so he could only smile wryly, "We meet again."

The spirit plant that bound him moved, as if to respond.After Gu Ping noticed it, he yelled directly at Mu Tianliao, "Run quickly, this thing is a bit troublesome!"

Seeing that Gu Ping seemed to be in trouble, Mu Tianliao almost didn't even think about going to help.

After all, let's not talk about Gu Ping's intentional or unintentional disclosure of so much information to him in this life, but he has to pay back the kindness he reminded himself in his previous life.

The author has something to say: Oh my god...it's done...the six thousand and five anti-theft badge...
