Heaven and earth have righteousness, and people say Haoran.

What is Haoran Qi, many people don't understand, it is not like sword Qi and the like, it is outside and has a law to follow, it is very elusive.

There are many Confucian cultivators in Huangfeng Academy and Danxin Pavilion, most of whom are enlightened at the age of three or four, and they study until they are eleven or twelve years old before they officially enter the path of cultivation. It takes such a long time to study because they need to cultivate Haoran Qi before they can enter the Qi refining period.

How to cultivate this heroic qi, but it is not clear, whether it is qualification or character, it can only be used as a reference. Some people are very good at reading, but they can't cultivate it for a long time, and some people seem stupid, but they appear early. This is the same as Taoist cultivation from a young age, reading through the Taoist scriptures in order to achieve enlightenment and enter the realm of visualization.

Nie Zhengqi was not the kind of monk with outstanding qualifications, he only enlightened at the age of seven, and appreciated the aura of Haoran at the age of fourteen, because he started too late, the Emperor Wind Academy only listed him as an object of observation.

If it weren't for his luck and being favored by a lecturer in the academy, he would probably have embarked on a career like most scholars and become an ordinary official.

In Huangfeng Academy, he was not conspicuous at all, and even fell behind in the last few exams every year, and was always ridiculed by others for being stupid.

The wonderful thing is that he, a stupid student, walked slowly, but he was never left behind. At the age of fifty, he entered Zhuji and became a lecturer, and his classmates thought he was lucky. At the age of nearly 200, he became a Jindan and became a teaching assistant, but everyone still thought he was lucky. It wasn't until he broke through the middle of the short forty years that he caught the attention of the mountain chief, and since then he has been out of control.

Mid-forties, late fifties. The period when the Lotus Terrace will be held. He had been married for exactly one hundred and twenty years. In one fell swoop, he became the most conspicuous "genius" of the academy.

But he wasn't one of those proud geniuses at heart. Since he was a teenager, he has been accustomed to ignoring the gaze of others and silently reading and cultivating. He doesn't care if he's stupid or smart, because he never compares himself to others. He is stronger than the fighting method because he devotes almost all of his time to cultivation.

Nie Zhengqi is such a stupid-looking smart man, he is very clear about his shortcomings, and he will not unrealistically delusional about how beautiful it will be to defeat the legendary man of destiny. He is more than three hundred years old. It's not those geniuses who became famous at a young age, and this kind of thing is not attractive to him. He also knew that in the same late stage, his fighting ability was not stronger than that of "Xu Zheng", and he had no other way to compete with Xu Gongzi for the qualification of the fourth round, except for stability and drag.

However, when that purple qi appeared, Nie Zhengqi understood. His biggest test is coming, and the other party will not allow him to drag it out.

The aura of magnificence appeared. There seem to be mountains weighing more than a thousand pounds, and there seems to be the sun and moon shining brightly.

On the gimbals of the Huangfeng Academy and the Danxin Pavilion, many people exclaimed in amazement.

They didn't expect that Nie Zhengqi's aura would already have a substance. The lower is the river mountain, and the upper is the sun star, which is the stage where the Haoran Qi has been cultivated to the stage of turning the void into reality.

Especially the Confucian and Taoist monks of the Huangfeng Academy, they all felt that such a heroic qi, even the sword cultivators who were the best at fighting, might not be able to break through.

Unexpectedly, when Nie Zhengqi's Haoran Qi was all displayed, the purple qi suddenly disappeared.

Xu Yi chuckled lightly and disappeared silently on the lotus platform.

Stealth technique, not only Nie Zhengqi knows, his stealth technique is not so subtle, but, as long as it is enough for a while.

"This is—" On the gizz of Taibai Sect, Qian Jiale let out a surprised voice.

"Senior Brother Qian, what's wrong?" Hu Zhifang didn't understand it.

Lingyu spat out the breath that had been held in her chest until now, and relaxed: "I was deceived." ”

"What?"

"Nie Zhengqi was deceived." Lingyu said, "Haoran's Qi can only be used once in a short period of time, and without Haoran's Qi to protect his body, he can't stop Xu Zheng." ”

The development on the lotus platform verified the statement of Lingyu, the mountains were hidden, the sun and the moon were dim, the aura of Haoran disappeared, and Xu Wei suddenly appeared.

The purple qi exploded, the sword shadow appeared, and the entire lotus platform was flooded with sword light, and many foundation building monks couldn't see clearly what was happening on it.

By the time the sword light disappeared and the sword qi dissipated, Nie Zhengqi had already appeared on the periphery.

His expression remained calm. When Xu Wei withdrew his purple qi, he already knew that he had been deceived. However, this couldn't hit him, and so far in his cultivation, he had lost so much that he had long been invulnerable.

He bowed politely: "Thank you Xu Daoyou for your teaching." ”

Xu Yi also returned a salute: "Accept." ”

The third round came to an end, and with Tan Jing, who had a bye, a total of ten monks entered the next round.

In this round, most of the mid-term monks were dismissed, and only two made it to the fourth round.

……

"Chixia Palace, Bai Ziwen; Guanhui Temple, Yuan Xiu; Bailuan, Dingru; Taibaizong, Ji Chengtian; Xingtianmen, Lin Qi; Taibaizong, Cheng Lingyu; Netherworld, Ding Yucheng; Jiyi Zong, Gu Duyun; Zixiao Sword Sect, Xu Zheng; Zhenhua Xianmen, Tan Jing. ”

Yuan Ningzi finished reporting and raised the list in his hand: "Only we have two disciples who have entered the fourth round. ”

Gu Zhenren was very pleased: "No matter what, they all worked hard, which is good." ”

Yuan Ningzi bowed: "Yes, most of the next round are late-stage monks, whether they can win depends on both luck and strength." ”

Those who can go to the fourth round will not be bad in strength. If you draw a mid-stage monk, it's much easier, and if it's a late-stage monk, there's nothing to complain about.

"How are the two of them?" Gu Zhenren asked uneasily.

Yuan Ningzi replied: "Cheng Lingyu can't see anything abnormal, but he may be a little nervous. ”

Xianxuan Zhenren smiled: "It's right to be nervous." How old is she, and she has been married for more than 70 years, and she can rush into the fourth round at the Lotus Terrace Meeting, which is very rare. ”

"Yes." Yuan Ningzi didn't take it seriously, after talking about Lingyu, thinking of Ji Chengtian, he was a little worried, "Chengtian's side, the situation is not very good." ”

"How?" Gu Zhenren looked concerned. He is Ji Chengtian's master, but at this time, it is not good to ask too much.

"Chengtian's spirit has always been very bad and very anxious."

Thinking of Ji Chengtian's situation, Xianxuan Zhenren was helpless: "This kid, why does he like to drill the tip of the horns?" ”

"If he doesn't drill, he won't be Ji Chengtian." Wei Wuyi interjected a sentence next to him, and said to Gu Zhenren, "Uncle Gu, to tell you the truth, Chengtian is like this today, and you have valued him too much since you were a child." ”

Gu Zhenren sighed and nodded: "It's me who doesn't know how to teach my disciples!" ”

Ji Chengtian is good at everything, has excellent qualifications, is hardworking and diligent, and has been under his disciple since he was a child, Gu Zhenren naturally attaches great importance to this disciple. Ji Chengtian has never lived up to his attention, not to mention the rapid progress of cultivation, and he is also very responsible. But he really didn't expect that his strengths would one day turn into disadvantages.

Ji Chengtian is responsible, but he is too responsible, and when he encounters things, he is easy to drill the horns.

When he returned from injury, he had been very anxious, worried that he would not be able to catch up with the Liantai meeting, and the sect would miss this opportunity to become famous. Later, Lingyu returned and was valued by the sect, which put additional pressure on his already anxious heart.

Ji Chengtian is very competitive, and his competitiveness is not the same as Lu Yingfeng. Lu Yingfeng's temperament is much more casual, and if he really loses, he will also persuade himself. Ji Chengtian is different, he has received too many affirmations since he was a child, and he is a very serious person, always pushing himself to do his best and live up to everyone's expectations.

People who have always been affirmed are prone to self-doubt when they encounter failure, and now he is in such a state.

He was originally forced to break through the late stage, and his cultivation was not stable, and the result was that he was unable to exert his full strength. Just now, he found that the third round of his passage was so difficult, and his self-doubt deepened.

Thinking of this question, several Yuanying Monks had a headache.

No matter what, they can't watch the promising disciples of the sect develop demons because of self-doubt and eventually fall. Anyway, this situation is really not good to care about. Ji Chengtian himself is a very assertive person, and it is difficult for other people's persuasion to have an impact on him.

"Wuyi, what would you do if it were you?" Gu Zhenren couldn't think of a way, so he simply asked Wei Wuyi. In his opinion, Lingyu, an unknown disciple, was able to grow up to this day, and Wei Wuyi's teaching was indispensable.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wuyi spread his hands: "This kind of thing, do you need to do it?" ”

"But you can't ignore ......"

"Uncle Gu, it's your attitude that Chengtian will develop such a personality." Wei Wuyi said bluntly and unceremoniously, "His temperament is not just showing signs today, every time he has an accident, you are like an old hen guarding her cubs, busy helping him solve the problem." But if everything is solved by others, does he still need to exercise his own mind? ”

"......" Wei Wuyi said, Gu Zhenren's old face was slightly red.

Xianxuan Zhenren laughed even more "poof": "The old hen who protects the cubs, what a shape!" ”

"Am I not right?"

Xianxuan Zhenren nodded while laughing, and said to Gu Zhenren: "Senior Brother Gu, this is not a good word, but the truth is good. Chengtian's ability to bear is too weak, and there is no reason why you are too protective of him. ”

Gu Zhenren was embarrassed by laughter: "It's already like this, you guys have an idea." ”

"As I say, just throw him out!" Wei Wuyi clenched his fists slowly, seemingly leisurely, but with a fierce light, "Whether he wants to become a waster or pass this hurdle depends on himself." If he continues to be decadent like this, it is his own destruction. Dao Heart is a thing, others can't help him. ”

Xianxuan Zhenren thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "What you say is not unreasonable. Senior Brother Gu, think about it, if Chengtian passes this hurdle, the Dao Heart will not be a problem, and Yuanying will also have hope. If you continue to protect him like this, he won't be able to solve the problem of the Dao Heart, and even if he is well, he will stop at the Dan Formation Stage and will not be able to go further.
