"Senior Brother Zhang is here, come on, please take a seat. ”

On the shore of Panyang Lake, when Zhang Qingyuan arrived, Zhao Yuanyang was warmly entertaining a group of new inner disciples who were constantly coming and going.

In a short time, more than 20 people gathered.

"This one is Lin Yan of Lieyang Peak"

"This one is Meng Chong of Wanlei Peak"

Zhao Yuanyang walked among the crowds of people at the party, introduced their identities to everyone around them, and got to know each other.

Zhang Qingyuan also followed the crowd, got to know each other politely, and then sat down in the arena.

"Senior Brother Shen, long time no see!"

Sitting next to Zhang Qingyuan was Shen Hongzhou, who also came out of the seventeenth courtyard, and it had been half a year since he entered the inner gate at this time, and the other party's cultivation had also reached the point of the middle of the eightfold period.

However, sensing the other party's spirit element fluctuations, it should have not been long after the breakthrough.

Facing Zhang Qingyuan's greeting, Shen Hongzhou showed a wry smile on his face.

"Zhang Daoyou said with a smile, you and I entered the inner gate together, and the strength of cultivation is above me, you can't be your senior brother, if you don't dislike it, you will be called Daoyou in the future. ”

Shen Hongzhou looked at Zhang Qingyuan's gaze, and there was a hint of envy in the depths of his eyes.

More than half a year ago,

His own Lingyuan Sevenfold Perfection, the other party is also Lingyuan Sevenfold Perfection, and he can still fight back and forth.

As a result, more than half a year passed, and the other party showed that he was the first to break through to the Lingyuan Eightfold, and then he advanced by leaps and bounds, blooming his own light in the outer door competition.

Although it also stopped in the semi-finals of the outer gate.

But Shen Hongzhou knew that he only relied on luck to enter the semifinals.

Compared with Zhang Qingyuan, who comprehended the sword intent in front of him, and was invincible in the same level of the Lingyuan Eightfold, and was even able to defeat in the early stage of the Lingyuan Ninefold, the gap was already too big to match.

During the period of time when he entered the inner gate, Shen Hongzhou thought that his cultivation had been very hard.

It was Yicai who broke through a small level in just half a year and was promoted to the middle stage of the Lingyuan Eightfold.

Just to meet again,

The other party was also promoted to the late stage of the Lingyuan Eightfold.

Moreover, next to Zhang Qingyuan, Shen Hongzhou, who has the perception of the secret art of family inheritance, can also feel it even more.

Zhang Qingyuan's strength at this time has taken a big step forward, and the gap between them has widened a lot compared to before he entered the inner door.

If they fought with each other, Shen Hongzhou felt that he was afraid that he would be taken down and killed by the other party within ten moves.

"Alas, Zhang Qingyuan's perseverance, I am far behind. ”

Shen Hongzhou sighed in his heart.

Since he was defeated by the other party for the first time more than half a year ago, Shen Hongzhou has become somewhat interested in Zhang Qingyuan and learned about the other party's past.

A distant cousin of a small family with medium cultivation barely passed the outer gate assessment of the sect and entered the seventeenth courtyard.

In the two years that followed, he practiced steadily and conscientiously, except for going out to pick up various farming tasks such as harvesting and taking care of elixirs to obtain cultivation resources, basically the extra free time was spent on cultivation.

Then it took more than two years to cultivate and ascend all the way to the realm, from the peak of the Lingyuan Triple to the Lingyuan Seventh and even the Eighth.

On this road, one by one, his fellow disciples were chased by him bit by bit, and finally left behind him and walked farther and farther.

I still remember the first time I showed my minions a little in the same sect courtyard, it was when I fought with Yao Pingyi shortly after breaking through the Spirit Yuan Sevenfold.

It's just how long has it been since that war?

But just a year's time,

The other party has already become a disciple of the inner gate, and Yao Ping is still struggling in the realm of the seventeenth courtyard and the Lingyuan Sevenfold, if he can't enter the inner gate through the outer gate Dabi after three years, then he can basically only sink among the 100,000 disciples of the outer gate, and the chance of entering the inner gate has become extremely slim.

Compared with the two, whether it is strength or status, there is a world of difference in just one year.

This kind of feeling that others are catching up little by little, and then catching up, is really not very pleasant.

It was precisely because of Zhang Qingyuan's stimulation that Shen Hongzhou became more diligent in his cultivation, breaking through one after another in just half a year, and his cultivation realm was raised to the middle stage of the eighth fold.

It's a pity that when they meet again, the other party has gone further.

But in this regard,

Shen Hongzhou didn't have much jealousy, some just sighed and admired.

He knew that Zhang Qingyuan's talent in cultivation qualifications was not that of a genius, at most he was only a middle-class talent.

The reason why he was able to improve so quickly was entirely because of the diligence of the other party.

In the more than two years of cultivation time in the outer gate, Zhang Qingyuan spent three or even four times as much time as others in a day of hard practice.

A few years like a day.

Two years of hard cultivation is equivalent to seven or eight years of hard work by others, how can the promotion of cultivation to the realm be unhappy?

It was also after being defeated by Zhang Qingyuan that Shen Hongzhou made up his mind and imitated Zhang Qingyuan's hard work, only to know that this kind of persistence was really not easy, and until now he can only barely achieve half of Zhang Qingyuan's efforts.

This also made him admire Zhang Qingyuan's perseverance even more.

The inner thoughts of Shen Hongzhou beside him, Zhang Qingyuan is naturally not clear.

Naturally, I didn't know that I had an extra fan unintentionally.

After everyone exchanged and introduced each other, the banquet began.

This gathering was initiated by Zhao Yuanyang and was a group gathering with him as a link, and the personnel were basically the inner disciples of this session, and the cultivation realm was all in the eight or nine levels of Lingyuan.

This is an opportunity to expand your network.

As a child of a family cultivated by the family, Zhao Yuanyang's communication can be described as exquisite, and he does things without leakage, and although the monks selected have different personalities, they are not the kind of arrogant and domineering people.

There may be personality disagreements between each other, and disagreements in hearts.

But at most, I don't want to communicate too much, and I still maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, so there are no messy conflicts.

For this banquet, Zhao Yuanyang really spent a lot of effort.

Among them, the various spiritual material delicacies were more than advanced than the last banquet at the outer gate, which may be because Zhao Yuanyang entered the inner gate and received greater support from the family.

A banquet for everyone.

In this exchange, Zhang Qingyuan also got to know some contacts, although they don't have a deep friendship with each other, but if they need anything in the future, they can go over and ask for help.

For example, Lin Yan of Blazing Sun Peak is an intermediate refiner who has once refined intermediate magic weapons and is preparing to attack the senior refiner. Desktop::/

Another example is Qian Sen of Tianmu Peak, who is good at cultivating all kinds of elixirs, and has a lot of elixir seeds in his hands, which can provide medicinal materials to others.

Zhang Qingyuan wrote down these network resources by heart.

One person can't do everything, and there will be times when you need to use these connections in the future.

After the banquet, they also knew each other about the same.

At this time, it is time to communicate with each other. Mobile:

After a few successful transactions.

Seeing Lin Yan of Lieyang Peak, he stood up and said:

"Lin has recently been going to impact the realm of senior refiners, and he still lacks a drop of the essence of decay water, I don't know if you fellow Daoists have excess essence of decay water on hand, please cut off one or two. ”
