Chapter 84 Two Years (First Update)
Tianshu Peak Jietian Hall.
Yu Linglong, Yongxiang, and Mo Yuan were standing in front of the headmaster Zhang Zhenren.
"Linglong, how is Qingyue?" Zhang Zhenren asked Yu Linglong with concern.
Yu Linglong said with a smile: "Master, you know the reason. Qingyue is much more talented than normal cultivators. She should be able to fully master Canglang Zhenqi in a little more than two years."
"Hey, I only have three of you disciples. When your senior brother Lingri had that incident, I was about to break through the barrier and had no time to be distracted. I didn't know until I came out of retreat. I was wronged by Lingri." Zhang Zhenren sighed.
Yu Linglong pouted: "That's because those old guys were too greedy, so Senior Brother Lingri ran away in anger. But Senior Brother Lingri urged me to practice very strictly before, this time I must get it back from his daughter, hahaha." With his hands on his hips, he laughed wantonly and arrogantly.
Zhang Zhenren had long been accustomed to Yu Linglong's evil deeds and appearances, and continued to sigh as if he didn't see anything: "Originally, Lingri should have been the first disciple of your generation to cultivate a high-grade golden elixir. It's a pity. I hope he can get over his knot in his heart as soon as possible, but we can't help him."
He paused and looked at Mo Yuan: "Mo Yuan, how is the little friend you mentioned?"
Mo Yuan still said expressionlessly: "We have to wait and see."

Outside the Yinfeng Cave of Tianshu Peak.
After brewing for a while, Shi Xuan's complaints were almost known to Meng Yuchang and others, so there was no need to continue to hide it from Yu Ruoshui. Shi Xuan told Yu Ruoshui what Ming Qingyue said and Wan Hui's suggestion to take less pills.
If it was just the words of one person, Yu Ruoshui might just listen to it, but a true disciple said so, and a sister with a family background also said so, Yu Ruoshui's face became very serious.
"During these days of cultivation outside Yinfeng Cave, I didn't take any pills, but I could feel that my control over my body was stronger. However, if I don't take pills, my soul strength won't grow fast. I'm afraid that other disciples will laugh at and look down on me during the test on the tenth day of each month." Yu Ruoshui said with some distress.
"Will their laughter and contempt stop our cultivation? Can their worship and awe help us break through the realm? Everything is floating clouds, only the self is true. Stick to your own correct cultivation path, and the rest are just external things, which will not disturb my heart." Shi Xuan originally wanted to say, go your own way and let others talk, but after thinking about it, he expanded on it.
Now think about it, will those chiefs and true disciples not mention those words every time they preach? I'm afraid that most of the outer disciples have heard it more than a few times. At first, there should still be many disciples who follow the path of taking less pills, but when it comes to the monthly test, compared with the level of improvement of the disciples who take more pills, they are ridiculed and looked down upon by them. After two or three times, there will be few disciples who stick to this path.
From this point of view, the test on the tenth day of each month not only failed to urge hard work, but also led the vast majority of outer disciples astray from the beginning. Why is this so? Why do the masters of the sect allow this test to continue? Shi Xuan could not explain it, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
Yu Ruoshui thought quietly for a moment, then took a long breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Anyway, in the eyes of others, I am already a treacherous and opportunistic villain. It doesn't matter if I have more names of waste and lazy people. In the future, I will only take one pill a day."
Knowing that it is difficult for Yu Ruoshui to improve her cultivation without relying on pills like herself, she is not like herself who has the supreme method and is expected to break through to the Qi-inducing stage within four or five years. Therefore, Shi Xuan is very pleased that Yu Ruoshui can make up her mind to take only one pill a day.

Two years later, Tingdao Hall.
After Shi Xuan finished the test of soul cultivation, he turned around and left. Who else knows his own progress better than himself? Behind him came the whispers of the outer disciples. Actually, they were not whispers. With the soul power of the Out-of-Body Stage, as long as they did not suppress the sound deliberately, the voices in the entire hall could be heard.
"What a waste, he has been in the sect for two years, and his soul cultivation has only reached this level, which is only a little more than half of those talented disciples." A tall outer disciple said with contempt.
A delicate female disciple next to him disagreed: "You can't blame him entirely. If you were sent to guard the Yinfeng Cave every other month, how would you have time to practice?
"Haha, I think he gave up on himself. He didn't take many good deeds tasks in the month between the two. How could he have good deeds to exchange for pills?" Another short and fat disciple laughed.
"Yes, yes, he gave up on himself. His character is really ridiculous. I really don't know how he got in at the beginning, um, um. "This is a pale-faced disciple who has been in seclusion for many years. Before he could finish his words, the disciple next to him covered his mouth. It was Mo Yuan who was preaching today. God knows if he has gone far now.
It would be a lie to say that Shi Xuan was not angry, furious, or sad after hearing these words. His cultivation of mind and character has not yet reached the point where he is not disturbed by external things. However, no matter how angry, furious, or sad he is, can he still quarrel or fight? Can it help his cultivation to improve?
"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Shi with extraordinary talent?" Ye Xiangan, who had finished the tests for other disciples, walked towards him. He did not conceal his ridicule, "Why, are you being criticized again today? Haha, with your qualifications, Why bother to stay here? The sea and sky will be brighter when you go outside. Do you want to wait for Ming Qingyue to come out? Tsk, when did you become so pale? "
Shi Xuan took a long breath, and without looking at Ye Xiangan, he strode past him and walked out. This was good, because every time he tested his soul cultivation level, he was more advanced than other disciples, so Meng Yuchang completely believed that he would Throwing it into the Yinfeng Cave was the best option, so he was not assigned any sect tasks he performed during the year.
As expected, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan have not received the five major tasks since they alienated themselves on the surface. This is even better than most outer disciples, because they will always get their turn once.
Although Yu Ruoshui insisted on taking only one pill every day, because of his good talent, understanding, and good foundation, he was not far behind those disciples, although he ranked in the middle every time in the test. The rear part is not as conspicuous as her own, and she is much less likely to be laughed at, ridiculed, or looked down upon, so she has persisted until now.
Zhou Dielan successfully broke through to the out-of-body stage half a year ago. Now is the stage of consolidating her cultivation and cultivating her natural abilities. She has no time to worry about how many pills she will take to practice in the future.
In the past two years, with the help of the Yinfeng Cave, a treasured place of cultivation, Shi Xuan's cultivation can actually be described as leaps and bounds. Although his soul cultivation seems not as advanced as those of those disciples, his control ability is completely on par with his soul cultivation. Matching, the foundation is extremely solid, especially the degree to which the physical body can sense the aura of heaven and earth, which was vague and absent two years ago, is now relatively clear.
The soul cultivation of those disciples has long reached the standard of reaching the out-of-body stage. However, due to the mismatch in control ability, the clarity with which they can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still not comparable to that of Shi Xuan. It can even be said to be far behind.
Shi Xuan analyzed some jade slips he exchanged and found that he was only one step away from reaching the out-of-body stage. After more than a year at most, he would have great hope of breaking through to the Qi-entraining stage after taking Taishang Sensing Pill. Even if you don't take Taishang Sensing Pill, you will be able to break through on your own after three to five years.
Having confidence in his heart is the fundamental reason why Shi Xuan can ignore those who make things difficult, ridicule, and look down upon.
In the past two years, Shi Xuan has not done many good deeds. The main reason is to exchange some jade slips for some cultivation experience. These jade slips have been of great help to Shi Xuan. He has to miss two sermons every other month. Given the opportunity, I relied on these jade slips to solve my doubts. Of course, it was also because Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan secretly told Shi Xuan the content of the sermon - in the preaching hall, the disciples could not use spells. , so the content of the sermon cannot be retained in the jade slips.

A certain cave in Tianquan Peak.
As soon as Ma Yuanjing walked into Meng Yuchang's room, he saw him smashing things with uncontrollable anger: "Senior Brother Meng, why are you so angry?"
Meng Yuchang vented hard for a while before stopping, and said with a bad expression: "I got the news that Ming Qingyue is about to be released from seclusion. Bastard, is that boy named Shi the reincarnation of a mangy dog? Under such circumstances, why? You can stay in the sect and not leave!"
Ma Yuanjing also had a bad look on his face: "Yeah, if it were me, being made things difficult for me, unable to concentrate on my cultivation, and ridiculed and looked down upon by most people, I really couldn't stay in such a harsh environment! This is The boy surnamed Shi is able to hang around all the time. In addition to being thick-skinned, he is probably also very deep-minded. "
"When Ming Qingyue comes out of seclusion, are we going to just let him go? My brother is living a miserable life in the family now." Meng Yuchang said angrily.
Ma Yuanjing said with a gloomy face: "When Ming Qingyue comes out of seclusion, we will naturally have no choice but to let him go. Do we dare to resist Yu Linglong's anger? But isn't there still some time before Ming Qingyue can come out of seclusion? Do we want to take action first? powerful?"
Startled by Ma Yuanjing's sinister tone, Meng Yuchang murmured: "But the sect's discipline is very strict, and Grandmaster Jindan's Yuanguang retrospection technique is not a joke."
Ma Yuanjing sneered: "Of course we can't do anything within the sect. Aren't the two of us going to patrol the Sea of Flames at the beginning of next month? When the outer sect assigns tasks, he will also be sent."
"But there are so many outer disciples, and we are not the only inner disciples." Meng Yuchang said hesitantly.
"Of course he was lured to a secluded place. The Sea of Flames has been abnormal for decades. It is normal for one or two outer disciples to disappear. Combined with the environmental damage caused by the volcanic eruption, Grandmaster Jindan's round light can be traced back to the scene. I can't extract anything useful." Ma Yuanjing seemed to have been thinking about this problem for a long time.
Meng Yuchang still hesitated: "But, but."
"It's nothing more. When Ming Qingyue comes out of seclusion and he tells her what happened, do you think Ming Qingyue will plead with her master? Do you think you can withstand Yu Linglong's anger? Let him disappear like this No matter how much trouble Ming Qingyue makes, she can't find any excuse for us." Ma Yuanjing sneered in his heart. When the time comes, you will have an ancestor who is a master of Jindan. It will naturally not cause any serious problems, but for a pawn like me. But it's hard to tell. Ye Xiangan contacted him himself.
Meng Yuchang's face turned gloomy, and finally he said viciously: "Just do it!"
