After a ceremony, Xu Ziyan and the others officially entered the outer hall. The next day, they packed up their salutes, gathered in the playground, and left the academy and entered the outer hall.

Everyone was divided into a small courtyard, Xu Ziyan quickly cleaned his house, sat on the bed in the room and thought, although his cultivation is higher than the disciples who entered the outer hall this time, but his foundation may not be higher than them, I am afraid it is slightly inferior. After all, people have been studying systematically since they were three years old, and they have only been cultivating for a few months now.

After lowering his head and thinking about it, he took out a few rouge gouaches he bought from his package, wrapped them in paper, and walked out of the courtyard gate with them. She remembered that there was a girl living next door to her, and thought that she would visit her and communicate with each other in the future.

Who knew that what made Xu Ziyan cry and laugh was that the girl next door was very cold, and the rouge gouache brought by Xu Ziyan accepted it unceremoniously, and also chatted with Xu Ziyan, but once he talked about cultivation, he dodged the topic and refused to communicate with Xu Ziyan. In desperation, Xu Ziyan had no choice but to say goodbye and returned to his house depressed.

"Ah~~"

Back in the house, remembering what happened just now, Xu Ziyan sighed heavily, shook his head and thought:

"It seems that the people in this world are also very closed, and they refuse to communicate with others! I knew that this was the case, and those rouge gouaches might as well be kept for your own use! ”

Take out the rune paper, rune pen and cinnabar from the package, spread the rune paper on the table, grind the cinnabar, lift the rune pen, level the state of mind, silently luck the true qi, and transport the cultivation of the second layer of your qi refining period to the peak. The aura in the body is evenly revealed from the talisman pen, and the pen walks the dragon and snake, all in one go.

Put down the talisman pen, take the paper talisman in her hand and measure it carefully, the rune paper is full of colorful flow, Xu Ziyan is overjoyed in her heart, her talisman making skills have finally broken through the first grade, reaching the level of the second grade. Carefully put away this second-grade mine talisman, and then wanted to make a few more first-grade paper talismans and hand them to the family as their own task.

Of course, Xu Ziyan would not tell the family that he was able to make a second-grade talisman, as the saying goes, if a weak person is too rich, it is not a good thing. The same person with low cultivation has superb talisman making skills, which is not a good thing for Xu Ziyan.

But at this moment, Xu Ziyan heard a knock on the door. Thinking to myself who it would be out there? Quickly put away the things on the table, then straightened up your clothes and headed for the door.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw that it was none other than the four classmates who were in the same class as me in the family college. I think the three men and one woman in front of me looked at Xu Ziyan with disdain. Xu Ziyan was stunned in his heart, and he didn't know why they came to him for Lu, but since they were guests, Xu Ziyan politely invited four people into the house, but the other party smiled and shook his head, and the girl named Xu Li said crisply:

"Ziyan, we are classmates who have entered the outer hall in one class, why don't we go out together today and find a restaurant to celebrate."

At this time, the expressions of the four people were no longer arrogant, but with expectations. Xu Ziyan was stunned at first, but she quickly became happy, originally she was not familiar with the situation of the family, and she wanted to communicate with the girl next door just now, but they didn't pay attention to her. Now that someone has come to invite him, how could Xu Ziyan not agree.

Several people knew each other's names, and the three men were Xu Tieniu, Xu Ling, and Xu Dezhi. They were all people from the same college and the same class, so they naturally became familiar with each other quickly, and walked out of the hall in a noisy manner.

"Ziyan, you are so amazing, I saw you ten days ago and was still the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow, I didn't expect that you were the sixth layer of cultivation in yesterday's test, how did you cultivate?"

Xu Li first couldn't help the question that had been in her heart for the past two days, and asked anxiously. Xu Ziyan smiled bitterly, she had been thinking about how to get through this question, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't come up with a good solution, and now that she was asked, she had to say:

"Maybe I've accumulated a lot of money, and I accidentally jumped one level and broke through to the sixth layer."

Xu Li and the four of them secretly pursed their lips, and said in their hearts: "Accidentally? How come I haven't been so careless? ”

Looking at the obvious disbelief of the four people, Xu Ziyan had no choice but to smile bitterly again: "I know that this matter is a little weird, but I also don't know what Lu Dao is for?" It's the first time I've encountered it, and I'm shocked. ”

Several people looked at Xu Ziyan's expression as if he was lying, and glanced at each other, Xu Tieniu said angrily:

"Ziyan must be like this when she says so, don't guess it."

The other three people all looked a little embarrassed, and they were silent for a while. But after all, these people were all fifteen years old, and they quickly forgot what had just happened, and frolicked again.

The five of them came to the street of the central capital city and chose a restaurant called Hongfei. In the private room on the second floor, there were not so many politeness among the young people, so they sat down casually around the table. Several people ordered a few dishes and started talking to each other.

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the dishes he had ordered one by one. Everyone drank a glass of wine to celebrate entering the outer hall, Xu Ling put down the wine glass and looked at Xu Ziyan and asked:

"Ziyan, didn't you eat some genius earth treasure?"

Everyone also looked at Xu Ziyan curiously, Xu Ziyan knew that everyone still had doubts about their cultivation and rapid progress, so Xu Ling asked such a question. Shaking his head gently, he said lightly:

"Nope."

Everyone looked at Xu Ziyan's clothes and didn't look like a rich lord, so they all believed Xu Ziyan's words. You must know that in this continent, the elixir is a very expensive luxury item, that is, the spirit pill refined by Xu Ziyan, which can not be bought with money, it needs to be bought with spirit stones. And it is a low-grade spirit stone to be able to buy a spirit pill, you must know that the value of the spirit stone cannot be measured by gold and silver, that is, no matter how much money you want to spend, as long as that person is not a fool, he will never sell the spirit stone.

"Ziyan, how long have you been cultivating?"

Xu Dezhi asked softly. As soon as he asked, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xu Ziyan's face, and at this time they all felt that Xu Dezhi had just asked the point. If Xu Ziyan had been cultivating since she was three years old like them, then there were many suspicious things about her breakthrough this time. But if Xu Ziyan started cultivating after he was older, then it could only be that Xu Ziyan's qualifications were too good. In this way, it is not surprising that she can break through one after another.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Xu Ziyan's heart moved, and he said in his heart, if I said that I had only started cultivating recently, they would only think that my qualifications were good, and they would no longer suspect me of anything, right? In fact, Xu Ziyan knew that although his qualifications were good, they were definitely not very good. The reason why she was able to break through the second layer of the Qi Refining Stage recently was that the Yun Ling Pill definitely had a lot of credit. Let's ask who on this continent can take pills as casually as eating jelly beans like Xu Ziyan. So, Xu Ziyan hurriedly pretended to be a little embarrassed and said:

"I live in a very remote village, where no one pays attention to cultivation at all, and it wasn't until recently that my uncle who came to my house found out that I could actually cultivate, so he gave me some cultivation methods, but I didn't expect that after a year of cultivation, I would break through to the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow. Two months ago, my uncle came to see me at my house in person, and when he found out that I had reached the fourth level of the day after tomorrow, he was overjoyed, and immediately took me to the family and arranged for me to enter the academy. ”

"You won't say you've only been cultivating for a year, are you?" Xu Li's eyes widened and she looked at Xu Ziyan in shock.

"That's right, I've been cultivating for a year!" Speaking of this, Xu Ziyan also pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I used to live in a mountain village, I didn't understand anything, I didn't know that I could cultivate, I was really ashamed to think about it. ”

Xu Li and the four of them shouted depressedly in their hearts at the same time: "You are ashamed! After only one year of cultivation, you have reached the sixth layer of the day after tomorrow, and you still don't let people live. ”

Looking at the strange eyes of the four people in front of him, Xu Ziyan stretched out his hand and shook it, and asked softly with some concern:

"You're all right, are you?"

"Something! It's so something! It's so shocking, how can you let us live! Several people shouted at the same time, stomping their feet and beating their chests.

"I didn't ...... It's not that serious, is it? Xu Ziyan stammered.

"Not that serious?" Xu Li stared at Xu Ziyan with wide open eyes, grabbed Xu Ziyan's shoulder exaggeratedly, and shouted hoarsely, "Do you know when we started cultivating in the Dao of Lu? ”

Xu Ziyan shook his head blankly.

"Three years old!" Xu Li stretched out three fingers and said bitterly: "Three years old! We started to enter the family cultivation at the age of three, and in addition to cultivating every day, we were still cultivating, for fear that we would not be able to break through to the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow when we were fifteen years old, and we lived under pressure every day. ”

Let go of the hand that was holding Xu Ziyan's shoulder, put his hands to the sky, raised his head and hissed in pain: "My childhood! My childhood! ”

Xu Ziyan was amused by Xu Li's exaggerated expression, and the others also laughed. But there was a little bitterness in the laughter, and there was no way to do it. After practicing hard for more than ten years, it is not as good as cultivating for a year, how can this not be bitter in my heart?

After everyone had laughed enough, Xu Ziyan asked with some curiosity: "Xu Li, is my cultivation speed amazing?" Isn't there anyone who cultivates as fast as me? ”

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and Xu Li said softly: "Yes! ”
