On the outskirts of Huahai City, in the luxurious residence built by the Venerable Master of the Empty Valley, Ye Xuan was instructing Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long in their cultivation.

Speaking of this abode of the people of the empty valley, it is really luxurious and luxurious, spacious and comfortable. In addition, there are some mountains, rocks and trees around, the scenery can be said to be quite good! If you change to an ordinary person living here, I am afraid that it is similar to traveling and vacationing in famous scenic spots!

Moreover, this place is not just comfortable and beautiful! because it is located in the deep mountains, the aura of heaven and earth here is particularly strong. For monks, it is an excellent place to practice in seclusion. In addition, the deep mountain itself is relatively quiet, which is a perfect choice for monks who are bent on purity.

Originally, after sending the souls of the people in the Empty Valley into the underworld, Ye Xuan had thought of using this place as a place for his daily life and cultivation. However, because there were so many things later, he never came here again, and after a long time, he almost forgot that there was such a place. Now to guide Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long's cultivation, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of this, so he brought the two of them to this place!

In the living room of the underground residence, Ye Xuan sat on the large sofa, and Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long stood side by side in front of him.

"How long has it been since the two of you have cultivated to the late stage of foundation building?" Ye Xuan stared at the two of them for a while, and suddenly asked.

For cultivators, the slightest slight difference may produce a very huge gap! Among monks, let alone the difference between the great realms, even if it is two people in the same great realm and a small realm, the difference in their cultivation strength may be very different!

Similarly, in the later stage of the foundation building realm, some people can immediately advance to the Jindan and become Jindan real people, while some people even condense the False Pill as a luxury! Of course, there are factors of aptitude and talent, but the most important point is how deep the monk's own attainments are in the realm.

Ye Xuan wanted to guide the two of them in their cultivation, of course, he had to have a general understanding of the situation of the two of them! Otherwise, whether he was high or low, it would not be of any help to the two of them.

"How long has it been since you cultivated to the late stage of foundation building..."Hearing Ye Xuan's question, whether it was Zhao Wuyi or Gong Long, both of them were stunned.

"This... What do you say!" The two frowned slightly, and glanced at each other, both with some hesitation on their faces.

In the Xia Kingdom, although the twelve guardian families belong to the same body on the surface, they are all the backing and guardian saints of the Xia Kingdom. But in fact, among these twelve guardian families, there is also a very fierce competition among each other. After all, no one wants to be left behind by others!

Almost every few years, there will be a competition between the major guardian families. There are no too strict rules for this kind of competition! Winning is winning, losing is losing, and whether you win or lose, it depends on the strength of each junior. Moreover, since the competition is purely a temporary initiative between the families, the winner will not get a prize, and the loser will have nothing to lose!

But despite this, all the guardian families still regard this kind of competition as particularly important! Although winning or losing has no effect, if I win, it proves that I am better than you! If I am better than you, then I will be happy! I will be happy! I can put my nostrils in front of you all day long!

In the final analysis, a contest of this nature is nothing more than the vanity of the older generation among various families! In fact, they win or lose for nothing else, but just want to have fun! But no matter what, young people are always competitive! When there is a competition, they naturally want to fight for a winner or loser!

After all, friendship is friendship, no matter how good the friendship is, I have to be better than you, right?

In this case, of course, the competition between the younger generations of the guardian family will become fierce and abnormal! Especially people like Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long, who are favored by the family, because of their high qualifications and talents, they are even more-for-tat in this kind of competition!

Moreover, even if there are one or two people in a family who have no intention of fighting, it will be difficult to get out of this situation! If you don't want to fight, it doesn't mean that others don't want to fight either! As an outstanding junior in the family, even if you don't fight for yourself, you have to fight for other brothers and sisters with mediocre qualifications.

But overall, this kind of competition is generally benign. For thousands of years, although there has been more or less a person in the major families who has been depressed and depressed because of the failure of the competition, there are more outstanding young monks who have stood out in the fierce competition.

It is precisely for this reason that the Twelve Guardian Families have been able to prosper for a long time!

This is the law of nature between heaven and earth, which never paves the way for the strong, nor oppresses the weak for no reason. The only thing it does is to never stop sifting out for more suitable lives in this world.

Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Gong, and both of them are still very good people. Therefore, the competition between the two can be imagined. If you put it in the past, let them talk about things related to their cultivation in front of each other, I'm afraid it will be impossible anyway. But now, in front of Ye Xuan, the situation has obviously changed.

"How long have you been in the late stage of foundation building?" Zhao Yiyi looked at Gong Long and asked first.

"It's not been long!" Gong Long shrugged his shoulders in the same way as Ye Xuan, and replied, "It's been almost a year and a half!"

"A year and a half?" Hearing Gong Long's answer, Zhao Wuyi's eyes opened slightly, looking a little surprised.

Seeing this scene, Gong Long couldn't help but smile softly: "What, is it unexpected?"

"It's not a surprise, it's just a bit of a coincidence!" Zhao didn't bother to grin and said, "It's also a year and a half!"

"Oh, that's right! That's really a coincidence!" Gong Long was stunned for a moment, and then he and Zhao Wuyi looked at each other and smiled, and neither of them said anything more.

"Hmm... It's been a year and a half!" On the side, Ye Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought after hearing the words of the two.

"What's the matter, boss, is there any problem?" Seeing Ye Xuan's appearance, Zhao Wuyi couldn't help but ask.

Ye Xuan glanced up at Zhao Wuyi, then looked at Gong Long again, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you two shouldn't have appeared Danguang yet, right?"

"Danguang, boss, don't be kidding! It's only been more than a year, how can Danguang appear!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhao Yiyi almost fell to the ground, and even Gong Long on the side was stunned!

There is no way, the appearance of Danguang in a year and a half after entering the foundation building period is too shocking for these monks in the "small family".

"What, is it difficult?" Seeing the reaction of the two, Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, and then said: "I began to enter the late stage of foundation building at the age of seven and ten months, and I was already married when I was eight years old. ”

"Eight, eight-year-old Yudan?" Zhao Yiyi and Gong Long looked at each other, and they both saw a look of shock on each other's faces.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Xuan knew that he had said a little too much, so he turned around and said, "Let's not talk about these things first, just tell me how long it will take for the two of you to run normally for a week now." ”

"Great Zhoutian?" Gong Long asked.

"Hmm!" Ye Xuan nodded and said, "How long will it take to complete a Great Zhoutian?"

"Hmm... Well!" Zhao unintentionally lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If the state is good, it will be completely operational in about four or five hours." ”

"Four or five hours?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan's brows immediately furrowed!

"What's wrong, boss?" Zhao unintentionally shrunk his neck slightly, and asked cautiously, "Is there anything wrong?"

Ye Xuan frowned and glanced at Lin Kong, did not answer, but turned to Gong Long and asked, "What about you, Gong Long, how long will it take you?"

"Me?" Gong Long glanced lightly at Zhao Wuyi beside him, and said, "I'm almost the same as Unintentional, and it usually takes about five hours." ”

"You also have to take so long?" Hearing Gong Long's answer, Ye Xuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

Without waiting for the two of them to ask, Ye Xuan continued: "If I'm not mistaken, you two shouldn't be able to run Zhou Tian on your own now, right?"

"Eh, this..."I don't know why, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the faces of Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xuanqi said, "You two don't even know what's going on on Zhou Tian's own operation, right?"

"Well, that, what's that!" the two smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "Boss, you guessed right!"

"You... Alas!" Ye Xuan's tone froze, and he suddenly sighed and said, "I now already doubt whether there are really Jindan and Yuanying realm monks in your family. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, boss, we two came out of the poor ravine, you can take care of it!"

"Alas!" Ye Xuan shook his head painfully, no longer continuing to dwell on this question, but continued: "Originally, I wanted to guide you directly from the Great Zhou Tian, but now it seems that I am afraid that I have to start directly from the first step of starting to contact the cultivation. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, "By the way, do you two know what the first step of cultivation is?"

This time, the two didn't even feel embarrassed, and replied directly: "I don't know!"

"Well, that's good!" Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "I don't even know the first step of cultivation, I have already cultivated to the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm, which is very good!"

Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long stood there honestly, looking at Ye Xuan directly, and didn't say anything. To be honest, although the two of them were born in a family of cultivators, the inheritance they received had always relied on the word of mouth of their elders, and they had never been exposed to these theoretical things that Ye Xuan said. It's not just them, but the younger generations of the other guardian families are the same!

But blank is blank, this is a good thing for Ye Xuan! Because you can paint a picture by yourself, it is always more handy than perfecting someone else's painting!
