Danya Mountain, Endless Sea.

Today's weather is fine, and Qu Changhe, the foundation-building monk of the Danya Sect, is rarely in a good mood, and he uses the magic weapon to drag the cloud boat to carry dozens of young boys and girls of the sect to practice in the endless sea behind Danya Mountain.

The thirteen-year-old Red Note followed him, listening honestly to Master Qu's instructions on how to control water with condensation techniques more subtly.

The water condensation technique is a primary exercise, the qi cultivation disciples of the water spirit root are easy to master, these dozens of disciples on the boat are all water spirit roots, the red note broke through the fourth layer of the qi training period last year, among these disciples both age and cultivation are average, but today Master Qu said the trick on the boat she easily understood, and she felt that she had gained a lot.

"Red note, sister red note?" A sweet-looking girl with a goose egg face leaned her head over.

Hongjian looked at Master Qu, and his voice was almost inaudible: "Senior Sister Yao, what's wrong?" ”

The girl who whispered to the red note is named Yao Zhen, Danya Sect is a large sect in Taoist cultivation, relying on the advantage of being adjacent to the endless sea, rich heritage, and talents, especially in the two systems of water and wood exercises have quite unique achievements, attracting the cultivation of the true family and the scattered cultivators have sent the younger generations with these two lines of spiritual roots to apprentice to learn the arts, as long as the qualifications are acceptable, the Danya Sect will accept people and teach them as a whole, until the foundation is built, it will be valued by the elders above, and it will be separately instructed under the door.

There are only three girls among the dozens of water spirit root apprentices who follow Qu Changhe to practice, this is still the result of too many water spirit root female cultivators, the immortal cultivation sect accepts apprentices over women, and the Danya Sect is not exempt from vulgarity, and in the past one or two hundred years, the sect has gone to the mortal world to select apprentices with spiritual roots, and not a female doll has been returned.

Yao Zhen is already fifteen years old, and she is still trapped in the fourth layer of the Qi training period, and the red note can still practice with peace of mind, but she is a little unable to hold her breath.

"Senior sister, have you heard, there will be a very important assessment in the sect at the end of this month."

She hadn't heard of this news yet, she saw that Qu Changhe was far away and didn't pay attention to this, shook her head slightly, and asked quietly, "How important is it?" Do you know what to test? ”

As a female apprentice, she has very limited contact with people in the Danya Sect, Yao Zhen is actually similar to her, both of them are descendants of scattered cultivators, and they have not seen their relatives for several years after being sent to the Danya Sect by their parents, let alone being cared for, probably because of their similar background, Yao Zhen is very happy to be close to her.

Yao Zhen pursed his lips and looked at the red note, his face was a little complicated, as if he hesitated, and finally said in a low voice: "I don't know what to test, in short, you should work hard, it is about our future." ”

Speaking of the future, a trace of gloom flashed on Yao Zhen's face, the sixth layer of the qi training period is a hurdle, and the tenth layer is a hurdle, but he is somehow trapped in this fourth layer and can't break through, seeing that those who are similar to his age have rushed to the sixth layer, that is, the red paper junior sister who is two years younger than himself has also entered the fourth layer of qi training, is it really difficult to wait until he is more than twenty years old to be given up by the master, and marry a male cultivator who is also in the qi training period to work as a miscellaneous errand for the master for a lifetime?

Hongjian was a little surprised to hear her say so solemnly, and her big eyes turned on the other party's face before she took it back.

Yao Zhen's strange appearance inevitably made her uneasy, and she didn't gain anything for the next half of the day.

Qu Changhe saw that the apprentices had almost sensed it, and gave a formula to suspend the Yunzhou in the air more than a foot away from the sea, and randomly named a few people's names, asking them to demonstrate the trick of condensing water, and the red note only watched quietly on the side, and sure enough, Qu Changhe was like before, and the boys were all ordered, and the three little girls were leaked.

Sixteen-year-old Chen Zaizhi is the best figure among these young boys and girls, this young man was born in a Xiuzhen family, tall, handsome, and even more rare is that he has cultivated to the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and some teachers have concluded that if he can break through the six-layer barrier before the age of twenty and enter the seventh layer of Qi training, he will have great hope of building a foundation before the age of thirty and becoming a new star of the Danya Sect.

Chen Zai's hand was behind him, his expression was solemn, he drew a circle in the void with one hand, and a crystal clear water ring appeared out of thin air, and the apprentices did not dare to come out, holding their breath and staring at their eyes wide, although they had mastered the trick of condensing water, everyone here could conjure water, but it was as delicate as Chen Zaizhi's control, but almost no one did it.

The water ring held on in the air for a moment before it shattered, Qu Changhe nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, Zaizhi is making rapid progress." Everyone should remember that the use of water system exercises must be done slowly and moderately, and not too hard. ”

The red note was disturbed by Yao Zhen and gradually calmed down, this water ring does not seem to be very difficult, thirteen years old is the age of competitiveness and playfulness, she watched Chen Zaizhi's demonstration on the side, only to feel that her fingertips were a little itchy, but although no one had taught her, she knew that she could not try the test here, it was a shame to fail, in case of success, I was afraid that I would make others unhappy, so I secretly endured it, and prepared to go back and find a place where no one was to practice.

At this moment, Yao Zhen pulled down her clothes, turned her head on the red note, and Yao Zhen showed a strange look on her face, giving her a meaningful flying eye.

The red note followed her gaze, and saw that Qi Xiuning, who was half a year older than herself, had arrived in front of Qu Changhe's seat at some point, and took a few cups with a respectful expression, and made a quotation with a hand, and shook the teapot from a distance, and the spirit tea brewed in the pot flew out of the mouth like a silver thread, and fell into the cup impartially, Qi Xiuning offered it with both hands, and his voice was crisp: "Master, please drink tea." ”

This is also used as a condensation technique, although it is not as subtle as Chen Zaizhi's use, but Qi Xiuning is still young after all, and it is not easy to control it so wishfully, no wonder he is in a hurry to reveal it in front of his master.

Qu Changhe took it, didn't say anything about Qi Xiuning's performance, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put the teacup aside, and looked at Chen Zaizhi and said in a deep voice: "I heard that some of you have complained about the teacher's delay in teaching you martial arts and techniques, and some of you are even secretly practicing the exercises you brought, which is simply stupid!" Since this is the case, you can just cultivate at home, why do you need to worship my Danya Sect all the way? Today, I would like to remind you again, without building a foundation, how can you know which martial arts you are most suitable for cultivating? Don't go astray because you're too ambitious! ”

No matter what the apprentices were thinking in their hearts, they responded "yes" in unison, Qi Xiuning's face was a little pale, and he retreated back to his original place.

Yao Zhen pursed her lips gloatingly, this Xiuning junior sister was born in a small family, and at such a young age, she is already a fifth-level qi practitioner, and her qualifications are obviously better than those of herself and the red note, no wonder her eyes are above the top, and she doesn't like to take care of people, so she can be deflated now.

Hongjian sighed secretly, where is Master Qu targeting Qi Xiuning, it is clear that he looks down on the female apprentice who wants to come forward, Danya Sect is so patriarchal, I am afraid that my future life will become more and more difficult.
