The sky was cloudy, and the dark gray sky was dripping with light rain, enveloping the entire Yin Mountain.

The cold wind brought a light rain to the mountain rock walls, the woods and green areas, and the ethereal sound sounded in the quiet ravines of the early morning, like wind chimes swaying, like a dulcimer trembling.

It didn't take long for the rain to stop.

After the rain, the air of Yinshan is cold, the jungle is verdant, looking from afar, a layer of faint mist covers it like a thin veil, the early sun shines down from the clouds, and suddenly the rainbow looms, and it is beautiful in a flash.

At this time, on a cliff in Yin Mountain, a gray-shirted young man about thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting cross-legged facing the early sun.

The breeze is blowing, and the young man is hunting in clothes.

A few strands of black hair swayed in the wind on the forehead, revealing a pair of closed eyes.

The young man pursed his lips, his immature little face looked a little nervous and serious, and his palms maintained a strange movement, and as he breathed, his body flashed with imperceptible black light.

After a long time, the boy opened his eyes.

An imperceptible black glow flashed in his dark black eyes, and he clenched his fists as if sensing something, and then sighed in frustration.

“...... That's a slow speed!"

The young man stood up, shook his somewhat sour palm, and looked into the distance, through the mountains, a somewhat reddish morning sun hung there.

"Senior brother, they have all cultivated to the sixth and seventh stages of the Aura Realm, only I am still in the third stage, am I really born dull. ”

His little face was a little bitter, and he raised his palm, and at the tips of his fingers, a faint glow flickered slightly.

"There is another year to be tested, and if it still stays in the third stage, it will definitely be scolded by the master again. ”

The young man's brow furrowed, his face worried, as if he saw an old face loudly reprimanding him...

"Over the years, I have really lived up to my master's expectations. The young man exhaled, stretched out his palm to his chest and tugged at it, pulling out an ordinary twine, and at the end of the line, a piece of cyan jade pendant was tied.

Holding the jade pendant in his palm and raising it slightly, in the sun, it seemed that he could see a striking word 'Ji' flashing on the jade pendant, Ji Fan rubbed it lightly a few times, and his black eyes were a little confused.

"The master said, this jade pendant is related to my parents who have never met, and now that I think about it, maybe it was because I was too talented, so I was abandoned..."

The confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he laughed at himself, but the palm holding the jade pendant was tight.

His name is Ji Fan, he is an orphan, he was adopted by the cultivation sect Juexinmen here when he was an infant, and he practiced under the Tianqing Courtyard, and there were six senior brothers and sisters above him, and the six were also orphans.

Ye Hong, the master of Tianqing Academy, was strict and harsh, so Ji Fan was not so peaceful when he was young, and he was dragged to forge his body as early as four or five years old, saying that if he wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, he must have a solid foundation.

And at the age of six, Ye Hong passed on to Ji Fan a common cultivation mantra in the cultivation world, and he officially embarked on the path of cultivation.

There is only one stage of primary cultivation, which is to attract spirits.

The human body is born with attributes, and the attributes are inherited from the parents, or the clan inheritance, or they may be rendered by heaven and earth, in short, the attribute is an extremely mysterious thing in the human body, and it is also the foundation of cultivation.

The attribute is formless and colorless, and it is scattered in the spiritual veins of the human body. And the primary level of cultivation is to absorb the spiritual energy in the heaven and earth, and pull the attribute fragments in the major acupuncture veins of the human body, and when the major spiritual veins of the human body are filled with spiritual energy, and it is difficult to integrate the slightest spiritual energy, all the spiritual energy is gathered and compressed, and a spiritual power pole is successfully formed in the body, which is commonly known as the spirituality of cultivators, which can be regarded as the first stage of cultivation - the spiritual realm.

Don't underestimate this simple first stage, in which the spirituality is condensed and will be closely related to your future strength!

Spirituality is the core of a practitioner, and there is a distinction between high and low, strong and weak.

1 to 3 are the lower grade, 4 to 6 are the middle grade, and 7 to 9 are the upper grade.

And once the spirit is condensed, it will be accompanied by this grade for the rest of your life.

Spiritual beings of different grades, cultivators' own abilities are also far apart, and the later they reach the later stage of cultivation, the gap becomes!

For example, a cultivator with a low-grade spiritual spirit is weaker than a cultivator with a medium-grade spirituality at the same level, while a cultivator with a high-grade spiritual spirit crushes the middle-grade and lower-grade spiritual!

It is conceivable that the spiritual also has the status of a kingdom, the lower grade is only for the common people, the middle grade is the official, and the upper grade is the emperor!

And the level of the spiritual grade condensed is more or less related to the initial level of the spiritual energy that merges into the dantian.

Therefore, countless cultivators spent more than ten years at the beginning level, just to accumulate more spiritual energy, but when they compressed the spiritual energy, they condensed a higher-grade spiritual energy!

However, in the weakest period of a cultivator, no matter how strong the physical body is, there is a limit to what it can endure, so no matter how crazy it is, it is difficult for high-grade spirits to condense, and for thousands of years, there are only a few people who can possess it.

Ji Fan does not expect to have a high-level spirituality. That's too hard.

But the young man always has dreams, although he has the idea of fate, but every time he thinks that if he has a high-level spiritual after the envy of others, his heartbeat is a rush.

Therefore, Ji Fan, who was under the cultivation of high-level spirituality, was also like many cultivators, and after obtaining the cultivation method, he found a secluded place, and with a trace of fantasy about high-level spirituality, he began the long road of condensation at the beginning level.

However, in reality, disappointment will always be greater than expectations, seven years have passed in a hurry, most of the people of the same age as Ji Fan have been in the fifth or sixth stage of the aura realm, and even several excellent genius teenagers were born in this group of people, only a small number of poor talents have cultivated to the second or third stage, and Ji Fan is unfortunate, he happens to be one of these few people. Seven years and three stages, with his cultivation speed, there is still a long way to go before he dreams of 'condensing the higher spirituality'.

"Senior Brother Ji Fan!"

A call in the distance interrupted Ji Fan's thoughts, and he came back to his senses, but saw a sturdy figure, jumping over rocks and walking towards him, and soon approached.

"Senior brother, why did you come here to cultivate again?"

The person who came was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes, a decent face, and a water blue suit, which set off the whole person very spiritually, this is his fellow brother, Ye Lin.

"What's wrong, Fourth Senior Brother. ”

Ji Fan saw a bronze coat of arms on his chest, which was a sign of honor that the disciples of the Juexin Sect were only qualified to have when they cultivated to the sixth stage of the Spiritual Qi Realm, and there were iron, silver, gold and crystal coats of arms on it, corresponding to the seventh stage, the eighth stage, the core disciples and the personal disciples, if this was calculated, Ji Fan was still in the stage of not entering the stream......

"Senior brother has already stepped into the realm of spiritual power! He was selected by the high-level to be a disciple of his own lineage, and the sect master will personally baptize him, and now the master has taken him to the Juexin Hall to be baptized, and we will also hurry up, if it is too late, the Juexin Hall will not be able to enter. As soon as Ye Lin hooked Ji Fan, he dragged him back to the road, walking as he went.

"Great, Senior Brother, is it a spiritual realm?" Ji Fan muttered a little sluggishly, and he couldn't help but think of a fierce figure dressed in gray and carrying a long sword.

The senior brother with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a long sword on his back stood on the cliff, always like his long sword, so sharp that people dare not look at it directly.

"Stunned, let me tell you that I was also stunned when I first heard it, now the senior brother jumped out of the core disciples, and he will be one of the candidates for the sect master in the future, our lineage, we can also walk sideways in the Juexin Gate in the future hahaha!"

"Huh? yes, haha. Ji Fan came back to his senses, and the fourth senior brother who looked at his eyebrows flying and dancing also laughed a few times, but he was a little absent-minded.

"Am I jealous?"

After a while, he smiled bitterly and slowly spread out his clenched palms.

When Ji Fan and the others walked into the Juexin Palace, a majestic atmosphere suddenly hit them.

What catches your eye is four huge marble pillars standing at the four corners of the hall. On top of each pillar stone is a hideous dragon statue, with teeth and claws, quite a leaping momentum, and a silver staircase crosses from the center of the four pillar stones, leading to a white jade platform in the center.

The empty hall of the past is now full of people, which is rarely seen on weekdays. Ji Fan looked left and right, his eyes were full of curiosity, Juexinmen has seven courtyards, and there is little communication between the courtyards on weekdays, and he and his six senior brothers and sisters are mostly in the mountains to retreat, such a scene can only be seen at the end of the year.

Around the stone platform, the slightly famous teenagers in each courtyard are taking this opportunity to talk and laugh together, each with extraordinary spirits, and the corners of the head are magnificent, and some disciples on the side want to come forward to talk, but they are stopped by the golden coat of arms on the chest that represents the strength and the identity of the core disciple. The girls with flowers and moons gathered together and didn't know what topics to discuss, and the occasional coquettish laughter came out, which made the atmosphere of the whole hall much hotter.

"Hee-hee, little junior brother!"

Ji Fan looked over, somewhere, a girl in a white dress with red lips and white teeth smiled sweetly, her eyes were big, her eyelashes were very long, her neck was slender and beautiful, her posture was graceful and beautiful, pure and lovely, which attracted the attention of many people in the hall, and in the small chest that was waiting to be released, there was a bronze coat of arms that represented the strength of the six stages of aura, which was Ji Fan's fellow senior sister Zhang Qing'er.

Next to the girl, there were also two teenagers about sixteen or seventeen years old, one of them had a fair face, a deep expression, exuding a kind of coldness that seemed to be innate, wearing an iron coat of arms representing the strength of the seven ranks on his chest, and standing next to him was a thin gray-clothed young man, his face was kind, his smile was very friendly, non-toxic and harmless. But if you look closely, you will find that those eyes are as calm as the surface of the lake, without the slightest wave, and it seems that there is still a cold air, and most importantly, he wears a silver coat of arms on his chest, which represents the mark that he is already in the eighth stage of the aura realm!

These two people are his third senior brother Li Qi and fourth senior brother Yue Qing.

"Sixth Senior Sister. ”

"Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother. ”

Ji Fan and Ye Lin walked in front of the three of them, Ji Fan politely arched his hand, and his humble and polite posture added a slightly immature voice, and the faces of several people suddenly softened.

"Hehe, the little junior brother is still so introverted! put it down, let it go, it's all calling us old. ”

Seeing Ji Fan, Zhang Qing'er's big eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, two cute dimples appeared on her white and tender pretty face, she was playful and lively by nature, knocked off Ji Fan's palm that had just arched, and grabbed his arm very naturally, and suddenly there was a delicate and boneless softness at the elbow, which made the young boy's body stiffen slightly.

"Little junior brother, you're a little late. Li Qi said, he was cold by nature, and his voice naturally felt a little cold, but it didn't mean anything else.

"I'm sorry Third Senior Brother, I went to practice early this morning, and I didn't get any news of Senior Brother's breakthrough. Sniffing the faint body fragrance emanating from the girl beside him, Ji Fan said solemnly, although he understood that Li Qi's words had always been like this, but because he was born with a cold face, Ji Fan was very afraid of this third senior brother since he was a child, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

"Well, it's good to try harder. On the side, Yue Qing nodded peacefully.

"By the way, what about the second senior brother?" After talking for a few more words, Ji Fan looked around and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Yue Qing raised his chin, and following the direction he pointed, Ji Fan saw a handsome young man with deep eyes in the crowd not far away, who was smiling and talking to other disciples of the lineage, and on his chest, he was wearing the same silver coat of arms as Yue Qing.

"Brother Fan, congratulations!"

"With Ye Lang here, your Tianqing Courtyard will be prosperous in the future. ”

"Whereever, Senior Brother Li, your Youzhu Courtyard is not bad. ”

In the distance, Fan Ming was smiling and saluting the disciples of the other lineages one by one, Ji Fan shook his head, pulled Zhang Qing'er to the side, and asked in a low voice: "Little Senior Sister, Senior Brother has condensed the spirit of several attributes?"

"It's not clear, the sect didn't say. Zhang Qing'er frowned slightly, her big eyes were full of doubts, obviously she was also very curious.

Ji Fan glanced at the two Li Qi not far away, and asked guessingly: "It's a bit mysterious, do you think the senior brother will condense...... A higher attribute spirit?"

When he said this, his own heart tightened.

"Although, I think Big Brother is great, but at the same time, I think it's unlikely. Hearing this, Zhang Qing'er's thick long eyelashes blinked lightly and said coquettishly.

"Okay. Ji Fan nodded slightly, feeling that it made sense, after all, there were only a few high-level spiritual condensers for thousands of years, even if his senior brother had unlimited potential, it was estimated that it was not very possible.

At this time, Ji Fan suddenly saw several young figures, striding towards Fan Ming, the young man in the center was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a silver coat of arms representing the seven stages of aura, and his face was full of gloomy color, obviously the person who came was not good.
