With a sigh, Zhongli had a self-deprecating wry smile on his face, and the broken mirror failed again!

The white clouds drifted through the hot sun, and the sunlight outside the house seemed to be exceptionally bright today, and even shone through the window on Zhongli, who was meditating and cultivating.

As if laughing, practicing every day, working so hard every day, it's not impossible to break the mirror.

Since coming to the Heavenly Fire Sect, Zhongli has been practicing for eight years, except for the day according to the rules of the sect, he will go to the elixir field to take care of the elixir or do some cleaning chores, he has been practicing almost all the time.

But after eight years of cultivation, it is only the eighth order of the Spirit Disciple Realm.

The people who entered the Heavenly Fire Sect during the same period had already become inner disciples, while Zhongli was still struggling among the outer disciples.

For some reason, it seems that Zhongli is different from others, every time he cultivates, he absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth very quickly, but when he transforms it into his own spiritual power, he is pitiful.

Unlike ordinary people, every time Zhongli practiced, he couldn't clearly feel the existence of spiritual power in his body like others, and it seemed that there was a heavy fog shrouded in it to prevent him from peeking into the spiritual energy in the dantian.

I have consulted a few senior brothers in the sect, but when others investigated, they couldn't see the fog surrounding the dantian at all.

thought that he was played by Zhongli, and even taught him a lesson, and later flipped through the books in the door, and there was no relevant record.

"Oh no, no, Biyun Sect is calling again! Oh no, no, Biyun Sect..."

The one who walks through the door

"Fatty, are you alright?" Zhongli got up and walked over to pick up the fallen fat man.

"It's not been a day or two since the Biyun Sect and our Heavenly Fire Sect started a war, how many large and small battles have lasted in the past three years, we are only peripheral disciples of the Heavenly Fire Sect, and we don't even have the qualifications to participate in the war, so don't worry about it. As he spoke, Zhongli had already picked up the fat man in front of him.

After the fat man was helped up, he slapped away Zhongli's hands at once.

Said angrily: "It's different, this time it's different, on the way back from the Elixir Garden just now, I heard several senior brothers from the criminal law room discussing, and the mountain patrol disciples saw that the Biyun Sect had united with the Divine Sword Sect to come, and the two major sects had already surrounded our Tianhuo Sect, and even the back mountain was fenced!"

"Listening to the discussion of the senior brothers, the Biyun Sect promised a lot of benefits to the Divine Sword Sect this time, saying that it was going to completely destroy our Heavenly Fire Sect!"

Zhongli took a serious look at the fat man's face, and after confirming that it was not a joke, he walked outside the house and saw many fellow disciples wearing the costumes of the outer sect running around to tell each other, no one even did the chores set by the Heavenly Fire Sect, and the originally clean and bright courtyard looked a mess.

Reflexively walked back to the house, and saw the fat man rummaging through the clothes and cabinets in the room, he walked up to him puzzled and asked, "Fat man, what are you doing?"

The fat man didn't reply and said, "Pack up your things and get ready to run! Is it true that when Biyun Sect comes up, you and mine will wipe your neck?"

"Hurry up, on the way back, I have already seen many outer disciples packing up their things and preparing to run to the back mountain to hide!

Zhong Li looked at the fat man in front of him speechlessly: "Have you forgotten the punishment of the sect?" If you are found by the sect and sentenced to escape, not to mention what punishment you will receive if you are caught, if you run into a disciple of the Biyun Sect, without the protection of the sect, it will be miserable to be caught." ”

"Besides, if you defect to the sect, you will become a street rat in the cultivation world in the future, and it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

When the fat man heard Zhongli's words, he was immediately deflated, sat on the ground, turned his head to look at Zhongli, and said with an aggrieved face: "Then what do you say, you can't run and you can't run, can't you wait here to die?"

"Go to his Tianhuo Sect, he lied to my father and mother at the beginning, saying that I had a wisdom root, and asked me to go up the mountain to cultivate the Tao and become an immortal, but I ended up doing miscellaneous labor here for five years, woo woo..."

Zhongli stepped forward, patted the fat man's shoulder, and comforted: "Fat man, don't think about it, even if the real sect is broken, we are only outer disciples, presumably the Biyun Sect will not embarrass us." ”

Zhongli and the fat man have met since five years ago, because they both have mediocre talents, they were assigned to the elixir academy to do chores, and since then they have been dependent on each other in the Tianhuo Sect until now.

The difference is that the fat man was sent up the mountain by his family, while Zhongli was picked up by the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Why do you say it is picked up, because Zhongli is an orphan without a father and mother, and since he can remember, he has been living with an old beggar, wandering from place to place, begging every day.

Until he was six years old, when an elder of the Tianhuo Sect surnamed Zhong went out to run errands, he encountered an enemy seeking revenge, and after being seriously injured by a sneak attack, he fled to a ruined temple, and this ruined temple happened to be where Zhongli and the old beggar rested every night.

Because when he was hiding from the enemy, he was taken care of by the old beggar, and when he left, the old beggar asked the elder of the Heavenly Fire Sect to raise Zhongli.

Seeing that the old beggar was already old and had not been around for a long time, the elder surnamed Zhong took Zhong Li back to the Tianhuo Sect, and the origin of Zhongli's name was the name given by the elder of the Tianhuo Sect, which was regarded as a registered disciple.

And when the elder surnamed Zhong first took Zhong Li back to the Heavenly Fire Sect, it caused an uproar in the sect, and they were accused.

Because the resources of the sect are already limited, as an elder disciple, it is natural to tilt resources to focus on training, as an elder, do not select outstanding disciples in the sect to inherit the mantle, and bring back outsiders at will in the secular world, which is not in line with the rules of the sect.

But after all, he is an elder, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the Tianhuo Sect, plus what the elder surnamed Zhong said, he just doesn't want to leave demons on the path of cultivation, so he is temporarily accepted as a registered disciple.

In the end, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect spoke, and after Zhong Li's cultivation for a year, he would make a decision based on his talent cultivation, and at this point, the elders of the Heavenly Fire Sect would not be able to say anything more, so they would stop at this time.

But before a year had passed, the elder surnamed Zhong was in retreat, because of old illnesses and new injuries, he failed to break the mirror and passed away.

Before the retreat, the elder surnamed Zhong only gave Zhong Li a copy of the spirit gathering technique used by the spirit disciples, and after that, no one gave Zhong Li any guidance.

Zhongli, who relied on his own cultivation to explore and cultivate, stayed until a year passed, and his spiritual power was only the fourth order of the spirit disciple. Spiritual disciples below the eighth order were not qualified to enter the inner gate, so Zhongli was naturally left behind in the outer gate and became a miscellaneous outer disciple.

After passing the test, the sect will give the Spirit Breaking Pill and give him one month to assist him in advancing to the Mortal Martial Realm and becoming a formal disciple.

Strictly speaking, a spiritual disciple is not a real cultivator, but he has only understood the cultivation of spiritual power, and the spiritual power is in the body, except for strengthening the body, it is no different from ordinary people.

After entering the mortal martial realm, he can mobilize the spiritual power in his body to fight, alchemy, practice weapons, etc., and also begin to embark on real cultivation.

The path of cultivation is long, and there are seven realms: Lingtu, Fanwu, Lingwu, Yuanwu, Xuanwu, Diwu, and Tianwu.

Each realm is divided into nine levels, and each third level corresponds to the low, medium and high levels, and the leap of each small stage is also a small breakthrough.

Zhongli was fourteen years old, and he had been cultivating in the Heavenly Fire Sect for eight years, and he had just been a spirit disciple of the eighth order, and he was not qualified to enter the inner gate.

"Boom!" only heard a loud bang at the outer door, and Zhongli saw the huge red word "fire" in the sky outside the house, which was an emergency summoning order from the Heavenly Fire Sect, and it would not be used easily without major matters.
