A year has passed.

For the Spirit Sword disciples who were besieged in the Dragon Palace, the past year had been nothing short of a dream—a complete nightmare.

From the first day of the dream, they experienced inhuman treatment. Not only did he have to be practiced by the senior brother with various magical means to speed up his cultivation and pull out the seedlings, but also under the supervision of Wang Lu, he took the medicine refined by the black tide day and night, and the taste was really worse than death.

Because the manufacturing process of the drug is really desperate.

Considering that it is impossible for ordinary people to be like Wang Lu, it is impossible to eat Kuroshio raw through the invincible digestion power of Guò Wuxianggong. In order to use the energy in Kuroshio, it is necessary to perform high-precision machining of Kuroshio. And to process the highly poisonous Kuroshio into an elixir that other Spirit Sword Cultivators could digest and take, such a heaven-defying stunt that only Wang Lu could do - he first swallowed a large amount of Kuroshio sewage by himself, ate it raw and digested it into his own strength, and then expelled it.

After Wang Lu's digestion and transformation, the highly toxic sewage will turn into an amber thick slurry, slightly turbid, and mixed with peculiar smell...... Generally speaking, whether it is taste or quality, it is actually no different from poison in the general sense, but this is already the limit of what Wang Lu can do, after all, he is only in the realm of Jindan. Moreover, the refined sewage is at least not poisonous, and the toxicity has been weakened by more than ninety percent.

But because this process is completely equivalent to eating Wang Lu's leftovers...... Even more precisely, he is eating Wang Lu's digestive residues, which is tantamount to eating X at worst, and like eating saliva at best, so this amber poisonous slurry is also called saliva oil. Considering its pungent smell, it is almost like a sewer essence, so it is also called gutter oil.

The Spirit Sword disciples spent a long year under the nourishment of gutter oil, in which the pain was not enough for outsiders, but this year's torture was not in vain, the cultivation of the Spirit Sword disciples improved by leaps and bounds, and a small number of foundation builders all achieved the Void Dan, and the Void Pill realm also improved at least one realm. The pinnacles of Xudan, led by Zhang Sheng and Yang Fei, were successfully promoted to Jindan and set a good example.

Of course, the quality of Jindan is beyond demand. Take Yang Fei as an example, the practice of burning the sky and boiling the sea, the real fire burns the heart but does not hide the clarity of the mind, this is the proof of excellent qualifications, if it is done step by step, the golden pill will be pure and unclean, the real fire in the Dan will not be extinguished, it is the best golden pill. And yet now...... Yufu Jindan is barely in a round shape, but the color is dull, the fire is faint, and the ranking is not enough in the middle grade, which is simply self-destructive.

According to Yang Fei's words, this kind of golden pill can be called a shame, and the first thing he will do after returning to the mountain is to break the pill and rebuild it, and no one will ever be allowed to mention it again.

In fact, Yang Fei's condition is not bad, he was already at the peak of the Void Pill before the management trainee program, and his foundation is solid and only needs to be broken through. For those who have not yet laid a solid foundation, the side effects of taking gutter oil are even more significant.

A group of monks led by Caixia relied on excessive saturation of external energy in a year, and they also reached the critical point of the peak of the Void Dan, but they couldn't kick out the door for a long time. This has nothing to do with their qualifications, but purely the poor quality of accumulation.

Replaced by those with poor qualifications and abilities, this kind of extensive realm growth is very likely to go crazy, and Caixia and others can safely and steadily advance to the peak of the Xudan, which is more rare than the achievement of Jindan in a sense. And there are still two years to pass the pass, and the future is very good.

But obviously Caixia and the others can't be happy anyway, the bleak reality is one thing, and an unexpected situation constitutes another.

Wang Wu's progress was so fast that many other Spirit Sword Cultivators felt real pressure. A year ago, she was a subordinate of the Void Dan, but in fact, she was only barely hanging on the edge of the Void Pill realm, and her real strength might not even be better than those junior brothers and sisters who were at the peak of foundation building. However, in the past year, she has practiced silently, but her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and today, she has completed the Void Pill and officially stepped into the realm of the peak of the Void Pill.

Although her Void Pill is uneven in reality and void, fluctuating like a candle in the wind, and the tempering of the Yuan Shen body has not kept up at all, as if the Void Pill may disintegrate at any time, and her cultivation will turn into flowing water, but every day that passes, her cultivation will steadily increase by one point, and the speed and stability of her entry into the realm are jaw-dropping.

Wang Wu has never been known for her extraordinary qualifications on Lingjian Mountain, if you want to talk about qualifications, she is the worst in the golden generation, and the five-grade spiritual root may be considered midstream if placed in the immortal cultivation realm, but in the five peerless sects of the Ten Thousand Immortal League, it is really difficult to find her own position. Moreover, Wang Wu is not outstanding in his magic comprehension, and the application of spells has always been in accordance with the rules...... In addition to diligence and self-control, Wang Wu has almost no bright spots, if it weren't for the fact that the contemporary head of the Spirit Sword Sect seems to have a unique eye and looks at him differently, coupled with the strong support of Ouyang Shang, the senior brother of this generation, Wang Wu would not be qualified to be included in the golden generation at all.

However, after this year, no one doubts her potential anymore, it's just strange why?

Regarding Wang Wu's sudden rise, Caixia couldn't hold back her curiosity, she asked a long time ago, and Wang Wu also told the truth: "Because I can calm down, that's all." ”

Easier said than done! In a dangerous situation, the Kuroshio is infiltrating inward all the time, and his cultivation has never been stable in the past year. Even if Ouyang Shang suppressed the Dragon Palace, he couldn't stop the elusive demon king from plotting against him, and dangers were frequent. Coupled with the lack of spiritual energy here, for the monks in the growing period, they had to experience the torture of spiritual energy hunger and thirst every day, and at the same time, they had to drink poisonous slurry like gutter oil...... It is really a skill to be able to calm down in such an environment.

At least there are seventy-five people in this hall, and only a few can do it...... No, it even said that Wang Wu was the only one.

Even Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu, because they were entangled in foreign affairs, their cultivation rhythm would be interrupted repeatedly, especially when the Demon King made a sneak attack and successfully injured the Spirit Sword Monk, it would cause emotional fluctuations and affect the efficiency of cultivation. However, Wang Wu can strictly abide by his own practice rhythm from beginning to end, no matter what changes occur in the outside world, and his work and rest time are not chaotic.

Persistent in cultivation but not impatient, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change his face, with such a trait, he will naturally stand out from the crowd in a special environment. Although Caixia was unwilling to get the answer, she could only admire the vision of the master and the senior brother, and then bowed to the wind.

But in fact, in the eyes of Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang, this matter is by no means that simple. Wang Wu didn't feel it herself, but in fact, with a stable state of mind, how could it be possible to go from the bottom of the Void Pill to the peak of the Void Pill in a year? If it were that simple, all the Void Dan monks in the world would go to retreat to death—would Wang Wu be able to maintain a stable state of mind again than those who were closed and cold?

The point is that her ability to adapt to local conditions is too strong! No one saw that she still had this ability! She made perfect use of every condition available, and every time she drank the Kuroshio essence extracted by Wang Lu during the year, she would use special techniques to maximize the energy in it. And if her efficiency is compared with other senior brothers and sisters, it is at least several times higher......

Ordinary monks absorb the aura of heaven and earth into the body, most of them will actually be squandered and wasted, and only a small part of what is really stored in the body is only a small part, how to improve the conversion rate has always been a key topic in the cultivation world, and now in the exercises of the various sects, this piece of content is a core secret, and any change is something that countless people dare to try after careful consideration. And Wang Wu ...... However, she boldly modified the content of the exercises by herself, and her modifications adapted to the current environment flawlessly, especially the digestion ability of gutter oil was miraculously greatly enhanced. That's what happened by leaps and bounds in a year.

But how did she do it? Modifying the core exercises requires anti-heaven-level exercise deduction ability and extremely strong accumulation, even Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang don't dare to say that they have the ability to modify their core exercises at will...... And Wang Wu, at least before that, was never known for her understanding, how did she do it?

If it is Wang Wu one hundred and fifty years later, it may be easy to understand that Wang Lu's cultivation of this anti-heaven level Wuxiang Gong is the original exercises tailored by Wang Wu for him, and it only took her one or two years to create the first dozens of exercises from scratch, and her understanding is definitely an anti-heaven level. But the current Wang Wu will definitely not be able to do it.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Wang Lu simply asked directly, and the reply he received was ridiculous.

"I'm not completely original, I'm referring to your Wuxianggong." Wang Wu asked with some surprise, "Don't you see it?" Why do you think I'm an original exercise? ”

“…… Are you borrowing from my Wuxianggong? I don't remember ever telling you about this exercise. ”

"I haven't talked about it, but you never shy away from people when you practice, and I've seen a lot of it, so I can naturally understand some of the subtleties. There are a lot of things worth learning from it, and I used it as a reference to revise the exercises, and it really worked. ”

Wang Lu was dumbfounded: "...... And then what? ”

And then ...... Oh, I forgot to say thank you, sorry. Wang Wu said, nodded lightly to show his gratitude, and then closed his eyes and practiced by himself, and the speed was still a thousand miles a day.

Wang Lu didn't know what to say at all.

This causal relationship ...... It's really messy with cutting. The reason why Wang Lu did not regurgitate the essence of Wuxianggong to Wang Wu, the inventor of Wuxianggong, in the first place was that he did not want to artificially create such a contradictory causal line, otherwise, the master would become an apprentice, and the apprentice would become a master, wouldn't this ethical relationship be chaotic? Unexpectedly, no matter how careful he was, he finally couldn't escape the end of disturbing ethics.

However, if you can really take this opportunity to wake up the first golden pill in Kyushu in advance in the future, it will not be a bad thing. I don't expect her to grow to the height of the future in just one or two years, but in this current situation, no one will be too strong with too many teammates.

If Caixia, Yang Fei and the others have only suffered from cultivation in the past year, then Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang, as the guardians of the entire Dragon Palace, are facing ten times the pressure. And as time goes by, the future becomes less and less optimistic.
