Chapter 363 Cheers From Other Courtyards
Let’s start with a chapter. I’ll take a nap first. I can’t stand it any longer. For those of you who have a habit of going to bed early, I’ll read it tomorrow morning when I get up. The second chapter may be a little later, sorry!
——————————————
Listening to the Tao Cave, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the cave seems to be gathering into the cave one after another, following the ups and downs of the waves in the distance.
After a long time, the sound of the tide in the distance seemed to have subsided, and the aura around Tingtao Cave also slowly calmed down.
In the training room of Tingtao Cave, Lu Ping's calm expression flashed with disappointment the moment he opened his eyes, and then disappeared.
Lu Ping casually placed a jade crystal water bowl in front of him and placed it among the storage instruments. The jade crystal water bowl contained most of the blue water, and then looked at the empty one placed on the floor. After holding the jade crystal vase, Lu Ping stood up helplessly and counted the time with his fingers. Unexpectedly, five days had passed since this training, and the competition at the True Spirit Academy was about to be held.
Just after returning from Hu Lili's cave that day, Lu Ping inadvertently listened to the faint sound of waves coming from the sea in the distance of the cave. Unknowingly, he was completely fascinated. When he came to his senses, he suddenly discovered that this was actually a person. This is an excellent opportunity for him to break through to the middle stage of Alchemy.
At this time, he had forgotten all the other courtyard competitions and planning matters. Lu Ping immediately took out a jade crystal water bowl from the storage ring. The real person obtained the low-grade earth-level spiritual water Canglan Water, and at the same time, he also took out a few good pill-forging period cultivation elixirs that he had taken the time to refine these days.
Which cultivator can directly use the earth-level heaven and earth spiritual objects in the middle stage of breaking through the forging pill, which one is not the leading elite in the cultivation world?
Although Canglan Water is not very outstanding among the lower-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Waters, it is superior in quantity. Kong Liang is also an extremely profound monk. Formation, if you really take it seriously, you may not be able to do anything to defeat him.
With Lu Ping's current cultivation level and the richness of the true energy in his body, such a large bowl of Canglan water is barely enough for Lu Ping to smelt golden elixirs and advance to the middle stage of forging elixirs. Unfortunately, Lu Ping still failed to grasp it after all. At this opportunity, feeling the increasingly mellow true energy in his body, Lu Ping smiled bitterly to comfort himself. He had gained something. At least after this impact, his foundation had been baptized again, and his cultivation had accumulated a little more.
Looking at the Zhenling Villa in front of him, Lu Ping felt a little more emotional. Unexpectedly, Lu Ping had not returned to the Zhenling Villa for more than ten years. He really felt that things were different and people were different.
Today's annual competition in Zhenling Villa can be said to be the largest in recent decades.
It is also the most solemn one.
Before Lu Ping entered the other courtyard, Shen Nian had already entered the other courtyard.
Lu Ping hid casually in the air of the other courtyard. Looking at the already expanded courtyard and the dense crowd inside, Lu Ping couldn't help but wonder. It seemed that the size of the reserve monks of Zhenling Villa had indeed increased too much in recent years. From time to time, a ray of light flashes in the sky, and every ray of light passes through and falls in the other courtyard, which can cause bursts of cheers from the disciples of the other courtyard.
Zhenling Villa is no longer the reserve base used only to train disciples in the blood refining stage. Not only has the scope of training disciples in the blood refining stage expanded, but disciples in the early stage of hemolysis are also forced to follow the teachings in the annex. It takes a year for a real person to study in the Taoist alchemy stage before he is allowed to travel alone.
Although there are already many alchemy stage monks in other courtyards, for the vast majority of blood refining stage disciples and even hemolytic stage disciples, the alchemy stage monks are still a place that makes them look up to and mysterious, not to mention today. The real people from the True Spirit Sect who participated in the competition are all monks in the early stages of elixir forging who have just broken through in recent years. They are the true rising stars of the True Spirit Sect. Many of them are famous in the "Beihai Rookie List". These people look at it. Among the young faces, many of them even looked the same as the disciples in the blood refining stage.
Suddenly a huge fireball dropped from the sky. The red flames seemed to burn the entire sky red. Amidst the exclamations of everyone, it rushed straight into the other courtyard and smashed down hard.
Lu Ping had a smile on his face and said to himself: "This guy used to be a calm person, but now he likes to be in the limelight more and more. He even said before that he wanted to find a disciple in another courtyard to live out the addiction of being a master. So, A way of appearing, I don’t know how many disciples’ attention it will attract.
Sure enough, just when the big fireball was about to hit the other courtyard like a meteor, a loud roar of laughter came out, and the whole big fireball suddenly stopped strangely, followed by a roar, and a fiery red The giant tiger jumped out of the fireball, startling the monks who were slowly surrounding it. Only then did people see clearly that there was a person riding on the back of the giant tiger, with a mighty and resolute look on his face. Who is it if it’s not Yao Yong?
"It's Huohu Zhenren, Huohu Zhenren!"
Everyone looked at Yao Yong with exclaims and admiration just like they did that day in front of Hu Lili's cave.
Yao Yong seemed to enjoy the feeling of being admired. He bowed to Master Xuanyuan next to him, and then greeted Ji Zixuan and others who had already arrived at the side, and then began to look at the disciples in the other courtyard. passed.
Are you really going to live up to Master's addiction? !
Lu Ping was a little surprised. In fact, this time Master Xuanyuan of Zhenling Villa was able to make such a big move. He invited almost all the Masters of the sect who were under the age of 100 in the alchemy stage. Master Xuanyuan naturally got the sect. Lu Ping had also been reminded by his teacher before, asking him to go to the competition in another academy. If there were any disciples who could see him, he could be accepted as a disciple in the future, even if he was a registered disciple at first.
The development of the True Spirit Sect has been really rapid in recent years. Thanks to the accumulation before the beast tide and the main force that avoided the impact of the beast tide in the first place, the advantages of the True Spirit Sect have finally gradually emerged over time. .
However, problems followed one after another: there were more and more monks in the middle stage of Hemolysis who were qualified to be disciples, but the number of real people in the alchemy stage of the True Spirit Sect was far from being able to meet the requirements of these disciples. This was also the decision of the sect. One of the reasons why some monks in the alchemy stage are allowed to enter the True Spirit Academy to teach Taoism is that during the process of killing, these monks in the alchemy stage are not only targeting the disciples in the blood refining stage and the early stage disciples in the hemolysis period in the academy, but Most of them are disciples in the middle stage of hemolysis who have not yet learned from others, and even some monks in the late stage of hemolysis come here because of their reputation. After all, the alchemy stage is the backbone of the cultivation world. The huge gap between the elixir stage and the hemolysis stage makes Their bodies are still extremely attractive to monks in the hemolytic stage.
The True Spirit Academy has no restrictions on the entry and exit of these monks. As long as they are disciples of the True Spirit Sect, they are allowed to enter.
Of course, this grand competition is due to the fact that Zhenling Academy has trained more and more outstanding disciples over the years, but more importantly, the sect wants Lu Ping and others who have just advanced to forge the pills. The early monks can start recruiting disciples in advance to relieve the current pressure on the sect.
In order for the monks in the alchemy stage to focus on their cultivation, the True Spirit Sect stipulates that only when the disciples in the alchemy stage have reached the third level of alchemy can they be qualified to recruit disciples. Lu Ping's qualifications are enough. This is also the first time in Tianling The reason why Master Dian Xuanmiao reminded him, but according to the current situation, it seems that the sect is under pressure from the monks in the Hemolytic Stage and may have to relax the standards for accepting disciples from the Master in the Alchemy Stage.
However, Lu Ping still has no concept of accepting disciples, and things like inheriting the Taoism seem to be far away from him.
Lu Ping actually had a hint of arrogance in his heart. With his spiritual sense, he had naturally discovered that there were already several alchemy monks hidden in the sky for miles around. However, they all seemed reserved to each other. Yao Yong just said The way of appearing was too shocking, but everyone did not want to lose the limelight. Under the contradiction, they had a tacit understanding with each other, and one after another they used their own escape skills from the sky towards the True Spirit Villa. Everyone They all enjoyed the sincere cheers from the disciples in other courtyards.
Wearing a pure cloth gown, Lu Ping still looked like an ordinary scholar from a poor family. Step by step, without anyone else noticing, Lu Ping entered the Zhenling Villa after a long absence.
In the courtyard square that has doubled in size, the original nine arenas have been replaced by the current twelve arenas.
Lu Ping strolled among the monks in the square, looking at the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the disciples in the blood refining stage or even the hemolytic stage beside him, and re-experienced the passion he had when he stood under the ring. With a surging feeling, Lu Ping actually felt a hint of aging!
This kind of aging does not lie in Lu Ping's body, but in his heart!
To survive in the world of cultivation, strength is the foundation, but mind is the means. A mind without strength can only be a rootless duckweed, at the mercy of others; and a mind without strength can only be buried in the slow river of the cultivation world.
Time flies!
Lu Ping seemed to have grasped something, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: Lu Ping took a step forward gently, and it seemed that he was getting closer to breaking through the middle stage of Dan Forging.
Although Lu Ping came here in a low-key manner, he did not deliberately hide his figure. Although the other courtyard is large, how could Lu Ping's arrival be hidden from all the real people present, let alone among all the real people who came to the other courtyard today. , the heaviest one!
But when Lu Ping appeared in their spiritual thoughts, the alchemy master who originally gave people an unfathomable feeling had a thoughtful look on his face. In an instant, a smile appeared on his face, and everyone's expressions changed. When I wanted to investigate again, I found that Lu Ping's temperament had suddenly changed at some point, and he became a mortal, a mortal who ran into the deep gathering place.
