Jin Dongzi only stayed in Yaoshan for more than a month, and left Yaoshan in a hurry after instructing Lu Yi on some cultivation and formation problems.

According to Jin Dongzi, he is going to meet a few old friends in the Night Mountain Forest this time, and then he is ready to go back to the mountain retreat to attack the eighth-order level, and before leaving, he will explain that Lu Yi will have the opportunity to go out to practice more in the future, and actual combat is the best way to improve his cultivation.

Everything returned to normal again, and Lu Yi still returned to duty - in the cycle of cultivation, he occasionally went to the back mountain to explore.

In this way, three years have passed, and the little turtle woke up on this day and successfully advanced to the middle of the fourth order, and Xiao Ling didn't seem to be very interested in the demon pill, but liked Lu Yi's barbecue, and at the first opportunity, he asked Lu Yi to go to the back mountain to get some demon beasts to roast and eat, but the cultivation was unhappy, and he was still wandering in the late third order.

According to Jin Dongzi, the early advancement of the true spirit demon beast should be very fast, and it should only slow down when it reaches the fifth order, but I don't know if Xiao Ling is too playful, and he is far inferior to Xiao Turtle in terms of entry.

After the little turtle woke up, he quickly mingled with Xiao Ling, and the two little ones had a lot of fun, sometimes Niu Niu brought her demon beast brigade to Lu Yi to play, and the two little ones would also play with Niu Niu's demon beasts, and the two of them cultivated to the highest, as if they had become the minds of a little demon beasts, and Niu Niu's strange little monster beasts were completely based on the heads of the two of them.

Lu Yi's cultivation has also improved a lot, his cultivation has reached the peak of the middle of the third order, and his spiritual power has stabilized at the middle of the fourth order, which is not unrelated to his long-term cultivation in the quiet room on the fourth floor of the Shuji Building.

During this time, the Yaoshan Book Hall passed down an announcement that the Southern Regions Rookie Competition, which is held every fifty years, will be held in the Southern Regions Lion Camel Country in two years, at that time, Yaoshan will be represented by fifty disciples under the age of forty to participate in the competition on behalf of the sect, and the top 100 in the entire Southern Regions Rookie Tournament will represent the Southern Regions to participate in the Four Regions Rookie Elite Tournament ten years later.

The selection competition of Yaoshan will be launched in half a year, the first round of selection will be set on the day of the Autumn Fruit Festival half a year later, all disciples who are less than thirty-eight years old and have cultivated to the second order or above can sign up to participate. Pets can be used, but the level of foreign objects used cannot be higher than the fourth order, and the level of the demon beast controlled cannot exceed the middle of the fourth order, of course, for monks whose level is around the third order, it is basically impossible to control the existence of fifth-order demon beasts, and those who can have fourth-order demon beasts like Lu Yi and Lu Fenglai are rare.

The competition will use half a year to determine the top 100, and these 100 people will have the opportunity to go to the Lion Camel Country to watch the Southern Regions Rookie Competition, and the top 100 will also have rich sect contributions, third-order magic weapons and other rewards.

The competition for 100 to 50 will be held after the Chunyang Festival, and the rewards for the first 50 disciples who represent Yaoshan to participate in the Southern Regions Rookie Competition will be richer.

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately caused a sensation, and many disciples of the age who met the requirements immediately became excited.

Ordinary humans living in the Heavenly Chaos Continent have a lifespan of up to one hundred and fifty years, and being able to cultivate to the first order can increase their lifespan by about fifty years, and the vast majority of monks can easily advance to the first order of cultivation.

Eighty percent of first-order monks can reach the second order through years of penance, and the longevity is increased by another fifty years, and it often takes about five years for ordinary monks to go from the first order to the second order.

Sixty percent of second-order monks can advance to the third-order monks after a long period of penance, and their longevity will be increased by another fifty years, and they can live to about three hundred years old, which is twice that of ordinary people, and from the second-order to the third-order monks often take twenty to fifty years according to different qualifications, only a few outstanding people with qualifications or through some secret elixirs and other means will reach the third order in five to twenty years, and the third order can be called a master in the world, which is basically hand-to-hand combat in close quarters, limited by its own spiritual power, the spells it uses cannot be too far away from the body.

Of course, the advancement of monks is not without shortcuts, according to legend, some secret techniques can directly improve the cultivation of monks, but those secret techniques are either very disadvantageous, or cost a lot of money, so they are rarely used.

The junior monks of the third order and below are collectively referred to as the monks of the peeping period, which means the first glimpse of the court on the path of cultivation, and the first, second, and third order monks correspond to the early, middle, and late stages of the voyeuristic period respectively.

The third order to the fourth order, for the monks, will be a moat, only about forty or thirty percent of the third order monks can cross this step, and the years and months used are generally fifty to hundreds of years, once this hurdle is crossed, it can be regarded as truly entering the monk class, not only Shou Yuan can be improved for more than three hundred years at one time, but also every time you break through a small realm, such as the early stage into the middle stage, Shou Yuan will increase by another hundred years, in addition, the fourth order monks can master a certain number of rules of heaven and earth, better communicate the aura of heaven and earth, use advanced techniques, alchemy refiners, etc。

Cultivation after the fourth order basically cannot be verified by years, it all depends on personal qualifications, understanding, and opportunities, and those who are fast enter the realm like flying, and those who are slow will live for the rest of their lives.

In most cases, there is only a 30% chance that the fourth order will be promoted to the fifth order, and the longevity will also increase by 300 years, and every time you break through a small realm, the longevity will also increase by 200 years, and the years and months of cultivation will be recorded in 100 years; there is only a 20% chance that the fifth order will be promoted to the sixth order, and the sixth order will only advance to the seventh order only about 10 percent, and the longevity will also increase by 500 years respectively, and each time you cross a small realm, you can increase the longevity by 300 years.

To the seventh order to the eighth order, it is the biggest hurdle, because the eighth order must have a very high understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, so as to be able to produce their own rules, and when promoting, because the creation of the rules of heaven and earth is an act against the sky, so there will be a curse, and only about three out of ten thousand seventh-order monks can be promoted, after the eighth order, it is basically the top existence of the mainland, Shou Yuan can reach three thousand years, and it is difficult to continue to advance, and the probability is even lower, similarly, the increase of Shou Yuan is also considerable, and each level can improve the Shou Yuan of 3,600 years, and each small realm can increase the thousand-year-old lifespan, and similarly, every time you advance to a small realm, you have to face a more ruthless curse, and the benefits you get after successfully advancing are also abnormally large.

It is said that if a monk reaches the cultivation of the twelfth heavenly order, he can basically survive forever. The fourth to seventh order monks are also called the monks of the Imperial Spirit Period, which means that they can truly make spiritual power, the fourth and fifth orders correspond to the early stage of the Imperial Spirit, the middle stage of the Imperial Spirit, the sixth order is the late stage of the Imperial Spirit, and the seventh order is the consummation of the Imperial Spirit.

The monks above the eighth order are called monks in the spiritual building period, which means monks who have the rules of heaven and earth of their own creation, the eighth order is the early stage of spiritual building, the ninth order is the middle stage of spiritual building, the tenth order is the late stage of spiritual building, and the eleventh order is the consummation of spiritual building.

The twelfth order is called the Heavenly Order, which means that the cultivation has reached the peak, and so far the Heavenly Rank cultivators on the entire continent are said to be less than ten fingers.

Therefore, according to this calculation, the rookie competition under the age of fifty is basically a competition below the fourth order, and in the history of the mainland's competition records, there have only been a few thirty-one people who have participated in the competition at the level of the third order and the fourth order, and the thirty-one people who participated in this competition, except for fourteen people who fell prematurely for various reasons, another five people who were not able to advance due to poor cultivation in the later stage, and the rest of them reached the eighth order or above.

With Lu Yi's cultivation in the middle of the third order before he is now in his thirties, he is already an amazing and brilliant figure in today's mainland, and the disciples who can reach the third order before the age of thirty-eight are considered to have good qualifications.

There are many disciples whose cultivation has reached the peak of the second order, and they have begun to try their best to improve their cultivation, in order to make achievements in the selection competition, after all, a third-order magic weapon may only have such a thing in a third-order disciple's life, and how many of them can have a lot of good things like Lu Yi?

For a while, Yaoshan set off a rush craze, and the corresponding various magic materials, pills that can improve cultivation, demon beast eggs and even domesticated finished demon beasts have become sought-after goods, and the market transactions are unprecedentedly lively.

The rewards of the competition are not attractive to Lu Yi at all, but it is Lu Yi who has long expected to take the opportunity to go to other places to see, if it weren't for the old lady who told Lu Yi not to put himself in danger when she returned home last time, Lu Yi would have traveled to a different place a long time ago, and when the opportunity came, he could justifiably go to see the outside world, how could Lu Yi let it go?
