Late at night, the moonlight sprinkled on Xiang You's window like water. He hadn't fallen asleep yet, his eyes open, thinking about what had happened at dinner.

"Oh! Xiang You got up from the bed, lit the oil lamp on the table, and rummaged through the stacks of books for a while.

Then he took a book and went back to bed, wrapped in a quilt and read it. During the day, Xuan Zhenzi said that if you want to learn spells, you must first build a foundation.

This book "Building a Foundation and Refining Himself", he has already read it during the day. However, if you want to cultivate according to the above, you have to read it paragraph by paragraph, because there are so many contents in it that it is difficult to remember.

The night is cool and the people are quiet.

Xiang You, who had meditated and settled, couldn't stand the sleepiness that came slowly, and fell asleep.

He slept soundly, but some people couldn't.

"Knock-knock-"

The melodious bell rang throughout the Baiyun Temple, and not long ago, the master of the Baiyun Temple and several other real people got the news that the most potential disciple in their temple had died in the wilderness. They also know the specific reason, they are carrying a heavy treasure and being poisoned. But they had nothing to do but mourn for their dead disciples. The news of the flying stones falling from the sky had spread all over the cultivation realm, and a bloody storm was about to come, and Baiyunguan decided not to participate in this matter, and also ordered his disciples not to participate.

The next day, early in the morning.

The continuous Maoshan Mountain was shrouded in thick white mist, and Xiang You, who was in his sleep, was shouted by Xuan Zhenzi. Seeing Xuan Zhenzi standing by his bed early in the morning, Xiang You was startled, and something happened.

"Get dressed and come out," Xuan Zhenzi called Xiang You up, left with a word, and left.

Xiang You didn't know what medicine was sold in Master's gourd, and after being woken up by Xuan Zhenzi, he had no sleepiness. Braving the cold, getting dressed very quickly.

"From today onwards, you will do morning exercises with me every morning and again in the evening before dinner. ”

"Morning exercise what?"

Xuan Zhenzi, the corners of his mouth lifted a trace of arc, and smiled: "Wu." ”

Xiang You was very surprised, and said, "Do we cultivators still want to learn martial arts? Aren't there spells?"

"Of course you have to learn, and you have to study hard, you will naturally know the importance of learning martial arts in the future, now you just have to do what I say. ”

Xiang You was a little depressed in his heart, although he was reluctant in every way, he could only put his complaints in his stomach. In the past, he dreamed of learning martial arts, but after seeing the powerful power of spells, he naturally disdained martial arts now.

Xiang You squatted and walked until the sun pierced through the dense fog, and Xuan Zhenzi shouted to stop eating breakfast.

After eating breakfast, Xuan Zhenzi asked Xiang You to hurry up and build the foundation, Xiang You wanted to take time to go to Xuexia and Xueluo to play today, but Xuan Zhenzi sternly refused.

In the following time, Xiang You was not only cultivating but also cultivating. Senior Sister Xuexia and Senior Sister Xueluo didn't know why they didn't come to see him, which made Xiang You's heart a little lost. But fortunately, Xing Yuzi of Mingyue Guan and Qingfeng Guan's conscience and Liangren often come to him to play, and sometimes they even practice together.

Time flies quickly, and inadvertently, quietly departs by your side. When you find it, it's already a sea of life.

Xiang You's childhood passed like this, and now he is a young man.

On the summer solstice, Maoshan Mountain is covered with a lush verdant green, and the clear lake water is rippling with sparkling waves, a good scenery of green mountains and green waters.

Next to a green lake, there stood a young man in a green shirt, his face was delicate, like a literati and ink writer who had read poetry and books. But the upturned bun on his head resembles that of a monk.

The warm breeze gently blew through the young man's clothes. He stretched out two fingers and took out a talisman from his arms, his eyes closed lightly, concentrating his thoughts, and urging the origin qi in his body.

Suddenly, the yellow rune paper between his fingers burned, and in the blink of an eye, it turned to ashes. "Bang!" On the surface of the sparkling lake, a column of water rose into the sky, and this column of water seemed to have life, rolling and sprinting on the surface of the water. Looking closely at its form, it looks like a dragon, which will soar in the air and drive the fog, and turn over the river and the sea in the water.

On the shore of the lake, the boy kept paddling his fingers up and down, and the transparent water dragon in the water actually flew with his paddling trajectory, and he was controlling the dragon.

"Senior Brother Hua Yu," a crisp and immature shout came.

The boy by the lake was stunned and stopped moving, and the water dragon in the air instantly twisted and deformed, falling into the water with a clatter. It turned out that this young man named Hua Yu was Xiang You of Zhenjunguan, and his face had faded from the immaturity of his childhood, and was replaced by the appearance of a sunny boy.

"Little Senior Sister, is there something wrong?" Xiang You looked at Xing Yuzi in front of him, a little speechless, he was obviously much older than the other party, but he had to call her Senior Sister. He didn't want to do this, but this little girl ran to complain to her master. The result can be imagined, after Xiang You was scolded by Xuan Zhenzi, he could only obediently accept this cruel reality.

"Tomorrow, Senior Brother Liangren will go to the competition, don't forget, Senior Brother Liangren asked me to tell you, just gather at the door of your True Monarch Temple. ”

"Well, okay. Xiang You agreed. The Young Talent Tournament held by Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, I paid attention to it as early as half a year ago, and this competition is held once every two years, but two years ago, I was on a mission with the master and had no chance to see it. This time the conscience brother participated in the competition, and Xiang You got Xuan Zhenzi's consent as early as a month ago.

According to Senior Brother Conscience, this competition is not only an opportunity to make a name for yourself, but also the rewards behind it are also very rich. However, none of this is important, the key is to be able to obtain the admission qualification of Haoyuan College.

Haoyuan College is the crystallization of knowledge exchange between the East and the West, and like the colleges and universities in the mortal world, it is to teach and educate people, but the content of learning is different. It is a place where various cultivation methods and techniques in the cultivation world are taught, and it combines excellent teachers from the East and the West, and even real people from the Qi Sect teach in it. The faculty lineup is unprecedentedly strong, comparable to any sect, and it can be said that it is a dream place for all cultivators.

It is said that as long as you graduate from Haoyuan College, you will be treated as a guest wherever you go. If there is a sect, return to the sect and immediately entrust him with an important position. Those who are small sects will be directly designated as the next head of the sect and the head of the sect.

This coveted Haoyuan Academy does not belong to any country or force. It sits on an overseas island, between the Canghao Continent and the Holy Source Continent. Haoyuan Academy is second to none in the cultivation world, and the requirements for entering Haoyuan Academy are naturally very demanding, either very talented talents, or there are sects and forces with quotas to send their best disciples into it.

Although the Zhengyi Alliance represented by the Three Mountains Fu Gong is a small sect, it also has nine quotas, which is undoubtedly good news for many small forces that do not have quotas. But the key thing is that the Zhengyi Alliance is formed by the combination of three forces, and if the average score is averaged, the number of places is only three. They all want each other's places, so the best nine people in the three factions will be qualified for Haoyuan Academy.

However, whether it is the Nine Heavens Wanfu Palace, or the Wanshou Chongzhen Palace and the Heavenly Master's Mansion, they are not outstanding, and there are many palaces and temples attached to them. These dependent Taoist palaces and Taoist temples, they dare not abandon them, and they can have a place in the cultivation world because of their dependence. Therefore, as the head of the three mountains, they have to share the quota in their hands, so there is a "double competition" and "preliminary round" and "final round".

Xiang You is no longer the kid who doesn't know anything, and he already knows some things in the cultivation world. Tomorrow is the "preliminary competition" of the Maoshan faction, and anyone who is fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen can participate. Senior Brother of Conscience had already signed up half a month ago, and now he is waiting for tomorrow's competition.

When Xiang You returned to the True Monarch Temple, he vaguely heard two familiar voices.

"There are guests?" Xiang You thought to himself.

"Hua Xiang, you are already seventeen years old, you missed it once two years ago, do you want to miss it again now? I believe that with your cultivation, you will definitely be able to stand out and win the quota. The tone was a little excited, and you could even feel the anxiety of the person who spoke.

"It's Master," Xiang You was shocked, "but who is Huaxiang he is talking about, how come he has never heard of this name." Curious at the moment, he didn't continue to get closer, but listened with bated breath.

"Don't call Hua Xiang by the name anymore, I'm Xuyan now, Xuyan of Jiuxiao Palace," it was a woman, speaking in a very loud voice, and her anger was overflowing, "I'm no longer a disciple of Zhenjunguan, your apprentice, please stop being sentimental." ”

Hearing this, Xiang You's head banged, and his heart seemed to have set off a raging wave, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Hua Xiang—" Her voice trembled and weakened, "but I've already signed you up." ”

"Don't worry, I won't be participating. - Also, the new apprentice you have adopted, please don't hurt others again. The tone is full of indifference and ruthlessness.

Hearing this, Xiang You couldn't hold back any longer, pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

The two people in the room were obviously stunned, Xuan Zhenzi stared at him and was very surprised, didn't this kid not come back until dark? Why did he go home so quickly?

After getting along with the master day and night for so long, Xiang You had never seen him lose his temper like this, and he couldn't help but feel resentment towards this senior sister who suddenly appeared, and shouted at the girl who was half a head taller than him: "Senior sister, I don't allow you to say this......"

Before Xiang You's words were finished, he was startled by the person in front of him, was she?

The clothes worn by the girl are still the same as four years ago, and she still has white hair, her exquisite facial features are more iconic than before, and her white and tender skin is still as smooth and shiny as ever. Hearing Xiang You call her senior sister, a light flashed in her eyes, and finally said lightly: "I'm not your senior sister." ”

After speaking, he passed by Xiang You and left.

Xuan Zhenzi's gaze stayed on the figure that was gradually moving away, refusing to leave, and his face was gloomy. Xiang You's heart was sour, and he turned around and shouted, "Senior sister, you must go to participate tomorrow, I will go to cheer you on." ”

The figure disappeared at the door of the Taoist temple, Xuan Zhenzi sighed and said, "She won't go." ”

Xiang You had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but after seeing Xuan Zhenzi's sad and sad appearance, he stopped talking and thought, "Let's wait until he is in a better mood to ask!"
