In the past two days in Tianchi, Hu Tian spent most of his time listening to Qingfeng and Qingyu explain to him the basic knowledge of soul cultivation, in addition, he was feeling some changes in his soul pool in the cultivation process, he did not take the initiative to absorb the soul power that came out of Tianchi, it was not that he didn't want to, but he had not mastered the method of absorbing soul power.

Now the cultivation of him and Qingfeng Qingyu is a soul person, and the soul person is the lowest level in the soul cultivation, this level cannot melt the soul, and it cannot use the power of the soul that is melted, the only difference with mortals is that the soul person has opened the door of the soul pool and mastered the method of absorbing soul power.

The difference between Hu Tian and other soul cultivators is that he was forced to open the door of his soul pool by Kong Tianzhang with soul power before he mastered the method of absorbing soul power, although Hu Tian suddenly entered the level of soul and surpassed mortals, but there was also the adverse consequence of pulling out seedlings, that is, the foundation was not solid.

The two days passed quickly in the Q&A and refinement of the three of them, and when they returned to their caves, Hu Tian asked for some advice on how to absorb soul power, and Qingfeng was also happy to give guidance.

Under the guidance of Qingfeng, Hu Tian also roughly understood the basic method of absorbing soul power, to put it simply, in the long river of time, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, so soul thoughts are everywhere, soul cultivation needs to feel the soul thoughts around the body and use their own thoughts to introduce soul thoughts into the soul pool, which is the most basic method of soul attraction in the soul stage.

After understanding this, Hu Tian began to cultivate day and night, because the three courtyards of the sect need to take turns to go to Tianchi to cultivate, and because there are only three people in the eastern courtyard, Uncle Yuqing decided to cultivate together in the eastern and western courtyards, so that Hu Tian's life is to go to Tianchi to practice for four days every two days, and then spend two days sorting out his feelings in the cave.

The years are like flowing, one day and three autumns, four years of time passed in a flash in Hu Tian's cultivation, in these four years, nothing big happened, due to the death of Kong Tianzhang, the East Courtyard was temporarily managed by Yuqing, which was also in line with the intention of the three people in the East Courtyard.

Now Hu Tian has grown from an ignorant teenager to a twenty-year-old young man, and his face has changed too much. Since he had been cultivating, he didn't know what level of his current cultivation was, the only thing that made Hu Tian happy was that two months ago, Qingfeng and Qingyu's soul power reached the point where they could melt their souls, and they were allowed by the sect to retreat in Tianchi to melt their souls.

Now there is a lot less laughter in the east courtyard, and Hu Tian was meditating in the cave when he suddenly heard Yuqing's voice.

"Boy, a year later, the Nanming Congress will hold a soul cultivation competition, requiring genius disciples under the age of thirty to participate, and the Tianchi faction has also obtained a quota, if you can get a ranking in the competition, you will have the opportunity to enter the hidden courtyard of the Nanming Kingdom to realize a higher artistic conception, which will be of great benefit to the cultivation of soul cultivation. ”

"The sect will send three people to participate, but who these three people are has not been determined, and it was finally decided to hold a sect competition in the sect in half a year, and you should prepare well in the East Courtyard in this half year, so as not to lose the reputation of the East Courtyard."

Listening to Uncle Yuqing's transmission, Hu Tian was both excited and lost, and thought in his heart: "Senior brother and senior sister are both melting souls, I believe that they will be able to successfully melt souls in half a year, and in addition to them, Ding Ming's strength may still be above that of senior brothers, because as far as he knows, Ding Ming successfully melted his soul half a year ago." ”

"Alas, it seems that I am out of play, I know that there are already three people who are better than me, not to mention that I have only been in the field for four years, I don't know how many masters there are" Hu Tian's face is no longer excited, some are just lost, and then he raised his head and saw the big word on the wall.

"No, isn't there still half a year to go, if you work hard, maybe your fate will change, or maybe the established fate will be supported by action. Moreover, if I am too inferior, the little senior sister probably will not let me go."

In the past four years, everyone's personality has changed a lot, the only thing that has not changed is Hu Tian's fear of Qingyu, although he has grown up by four years, but this feeling has not faded at all.

Hu Tian took a deep breath, then put down all the thoughts in his heart, and began to concentrate on cultivation again, in the past few years of cultivation, Hu Tian has always had a question, that is, other people's cultivation is generally absorbed to a certain amount of soul thoughts can not be absorbed, otherwise there will be a feeling that the body is going to be expanded, and if you continue to absorb, the body is likely to be burst, at this time, you must stop absorbing, and slowly absorb the absorbed soul thoughts and the soul power in the soul pool before you can absorb it again. But Hu Tian doesn't have this situation, as long as he wants to, he can absorb it all the time, and the speed is much faster than others'.

In addition, the other people of the sect will increase the soul power in the soul pool after fusing the soul thoughts, and after reaching a certain level, the elders of the sect will use some of the horcruxes collected in the sect for them to comprehend and melt the soul, but the soul thoughts he absorbed have hardly increased the soul power in the soul pool, and he can feel that the body has indeed absorbed a lot of soul power, but why the soul power of the soul pool has not increased, he doesn't understand it at all.

This situation is unheard of in soul cultivation, Hu Tian also asked Senior Brother and Uncle Yuqing, both of them were at a loss, saying that they had not heard of this situation, but told Hu Tian that this matter should not be told to outsiders, the soul cultivation world is deceitful, and people with sinister hearts account for the majority, so they have to guard against it.

After that, Hu Tian no longer bothered about this matter, and only cared about absorbing soul power, he thought, since he could absorb soul power, it must be useful for him.

"In Xu Wu in the Lower South Courtyard, dare to ask Senior Brother Qingfeng if he is there, Senior Brother Ding Ming Ding has something important to discuss."

Hu Tian, who was meditating and comprehending, heard that someone outside was asking about Senior Brother, so he paused his cultivation and walked out. When I went outside, I saw a person standing outside Senior Brother's Cave Mansion, this person Hu Tian looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, he finally remembered that this person was the person who walked with Ding Ming when he first entered the sect, and at that time he was still disrespectful to Senior Brother Qingfeng, thinking of this, Hu Tian didn't want to give Xu Wu a good face.

"Senior brother is in retreat, and it is estimated that it will take a few months to get out, what is the matter with you?"

"Oh, it turns out that Senior Brother Hu Tian has not yet melted his soul, you have to practice quickly, I am about to start melting my soul, and you still don't have the breath of soul melting"

After listening to Xu Wu's words, Hu Tian thought to himself: "Sure enough, there are really many people in the sect who cultivate above themselves, but Xu Wu's tone of voice is really boring", and then said, "What does my cultivation have to do with you, if you have something, just say it, leave the East Courtyard if you have nothing to do, I still have to go to cultivate."

Xu Wu didn't want to say much when he saw that Hu Tian didn't give him a good face, but Ding Ming still had to do what he had arranged, and he also said with a gloomy face: "Senior Brother Ding Ming didn't know where I heard that there are strange fruits in the barren forest south of the sect, and most of the strange fruits are things that can be found and unattainable, which are of great help to soul cultivation and soul melting, and even have unexpected effects."

"But it is said that the place where the strange fruit appears will be guarded by brute beasts, and Senior Brother Ding is afraid that something will happen, so let me ask Senior Brother Qingfeng if he is interested in going treasure hunting together."

Hearing that Qiguo is beneficial to soul cultivation and soul melting, Hu Tian was a little moved, and then said: "Senior brother is in retreat, if you don't melt your soul, you won't get out of the customs, now I'm the only one in the East Courtyard, I'll go with you."

Seeing that Hu Tian actually wanted to go, Xu Wu showed a contemptuous look and said, "You go with us, do you want to drag your feet?"

"Isn't it up to Ding Ming to decide, I'll go with you to Ding Ming now, in case he agrees?"

Xu Wugang wanted to refuse, but then he thought again: "It's okay to bring it back, maybe Senior Brother Ding wants to find someone who is in danger, isn't this Hu Tian, who has a low cultivation, just a good candidate."

Thinking of this, Xu Wu said, "Okay, you come with me." Senior Brother Ding is waiting in the square of the middle courtyard."

Hu Tian followed Xu Wu to the square, and saw Ding Ming standing in the middle of the square from a distance, in addition to Ding Ming, there was also a man and a woman standing next to him, these two Hu Tian knew that the man's name was Jiang Cheng, and the woman's name was Liu Li, who was a disciple of Uncle Yuqing of the West Courtyard, and had seen it when he went to the West Courtyard in the past few years, and the two were quite friendly to Hu Tian because of their master.

"Hu Tian, why are you here, Qingfeng" Ding Ming saw Hu Tian coming over but didn't see Qingfeng, and then asked.

"Senior Brother is in retreat, I don't have time to come, so I'll come over on his behalf" After Hu Tian finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Cheng and Liu Li and then said: "I've seen Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Liu"

The two saw Hu Tian say hello, and immediately responded, overall, the two of them felt very good about Hu Tian.

After listening to Hu Tian's words, Ding Ming agreed without thinking about it, and said: "Since you are here, you must already know the purpose of this trip, and there may be dangers, if you really get the strange fruit in the end, because your cultivation is average, you can only take one."

Hu Tian didn't expect Ding Ming to agree so simply, and then he also agreed to Ding Ming's words, thinking: "One is just one, there is finally some hope." Although Hu Tian didn't know what Ding Ming thought, he also remembered that his senior brother told him to be careful of the people in the Southern Courtyard, so Hu Tian also had an extra heart and was always vigilant against the two people in the Southern Courtyard.

"Since everyone has no opinion on this trip, let's set off quickly, lest the strange fruit be eaten by the brute beasts" After speaking, Ding Ming took the lead and walked out of the sect towards the barren forest.

This trip is the first time Hu Tian walked out of the sect, and he saw that the outside of the sect is surrounded by high mountains and forests, barren grass, and no one is inhabited for hundreds of miles, Hu Tian remembered that the master and Uncle Yuqing could fly, so he said: "If everyone can fly, will they be able to reach the barren forest faster?"

"Hmph, ignorant" Ding Ming didn't even look at Hu Tian, so he only said two words.

"You're too naïve, do you think it's so easy to fly, you need to reach the soul master's cultivation and then get the opportunity to fuse the beast soul after fusing a main soul, which is often called the auxiliary soul, mainly to provide some auxiliary abilities similar to flying, tracking, etc., forget it, it's useless to talk to you about this, it is estimated that you may not be able to reach the soul master's cultivation in your life" Xu Wu didn't seem to miss the opportunity to ridicule Hu Tian, although Xu Wu's words were hard to hear, but they did solve Hu Tian's questions.

After that, no one spoke anymore, they all followed Ding Ming's back, and after half a day, a large piece of dense forest finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and from the outside, several people felt the depth of this dense forest.

The forest did not see the edge in the place where Hu Tian's eyes could see, which showed the vastness of the barren forest, and the roar of beasts from the dense forest from time to time shocked Hu Tian's heart.

But Hu Tian did not regret it, because finding the strange fruit might give him a chance to melt his soul, so that he could help his senior brother and sister in the sect small competition half a year later, thinking of this, Hu Tian immediately threw away the fear in his heart, and became even more determined to get the strange fruit.

Ding Ming looked at the dense forest in front of him and said, "Let's go, it is said that the strange fruit is in this forest", and then he took the lead in walking towards the forest.
