As the day of Daomen Nebi approached, more and more forces had already gathered here in Nanchi Fang City.

Originally, the high-level leaders of the Daomen thought that there was a team from Muwangfu, which was already a great honor, but they didn't know that on the second day when the representative team of Muwangfu came uninvited, the Snow Mountain Sword Sect and Tianya Mountain Villa also came at the same time, which made the entire high-level of Daomen feel extremely shocked.

You must know that the two major sects of Tianya Mountain Villa and Snow Mountain Sword Sect are the three giants of Chizhou that are as famous as Mu Wangfu.

Almost the entire monastic world is under the jurisdiction of these three giants, and their influence is self-evident.

But this is not over, almost after the three giants have sent representatives to the Daomen, some other families, sects, gangs and other forces with no weaker potential than these three giants have also arrived with representative teams.

For a time, Nanchi Fangcheng was actually a bit of the prosperity of a state city.

But in this way, it naturally made the land snakes here in Nanchi Fang City tremble.

Although as the saying goes, "a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake", it also depends on what kind of dragon it is. Not to mention the three giants of the mixed river dragon level, only those Shangzong and Gate Valve and the like of the river dragons are not something that these Shangdao and family members of Nanchi Fangcheng can offend, so the entire Nanchi Fangcheng for a while actually seemed to be peaceful and peaceful.

If Qingyi didn't seem to care about Naibi's affairs before, then after learning that so many forces had gathered in Nanchi Fang City, even if her nerves were so big, she began to feel a heavy pressure.

After all, no matter how precocious Qingyi was, she was still just a sixteen-year-old girl who had just stepped into the monastic world for less than four years.

In the cultivation world, a disciple with great potential and talent like this, not to mention being regarded as a treasure by the sect, is definitely the pearl of the master's palm, and everything is naturally supported by the master and the sect - this is also the biggest difference between the scattered cultivators and those who rely on the children of the sect's families.

But the situation of Qingyi is slightly peculiar.

Although the Daomen has never treated Qingyi badly, it can even be said that it is completely cultivated and cared for by Qingyi as the core disciple of his own sect, and his treatment is no worse than that of Lu Shaoqing and Wang Tianlong. But Ye Kong is always the only one who can teach Qingyi, and now Ye Kong's whereabouts are unknown, so no matter how good the knife gate is to Qingyi, in such a situation, Qingyi is also showing a bit of loneliness.

There are some things that cannot be clearly understood if they are not the parties involved.

Qingyi at this time, but it was not lonely, but her heart was in a state of madness. It's just that in the past, under Ye Kong's teaching, Qingyi maintained a very good tradition, that is, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he still looked impassive.

If there were no behemoths like the Snow Mountain Sword Sect, Tianya Mountain Villa, and Mu Wangfu, then Qingyi felt that with the few techniques he had mastered, he should be able to deal with the scene. However, with the emergence of these three giants, almost all the major sects and gate valves in the entire Chizhou suddenly gathered in the Daomen, so that Qingyi could almost imagine without thinking about it, once the Daomen Neibi entered the competition link, how terrifying the number and quality of the challengers would be.

Under this premise, Qing Yi was not arrogant enough to think that with these few small techniques he mastered, he would be able to deal with these challengers.

As for Lu Shaoqing and Wang Tianlong, Qingyi didn't have any expectations from beginning to end.

If it is just a challenger of this scale like the Nanchi Tang family, then only Lu Shaoqing and Wang Tianlong will naturally be able to catch it.

But the current situation is that the scope of the challenger has gone beyond one side, so it will be impossible for Qingyi to avoid it even if he wants to avoid it at that time.

Therefore, the heart of Qingyi will reveal a bit of crazy anxiety.

Others may not know, but Qingyi is very clear about her own situation - it is precisely because she understands her own situation so clearly that she has always maintained an attitude of self-reflection and not arrogance.

After all, what Qingyi learned was a line of Taoism, not a way of martial arts that was extremely prosperous here in Chizhou.

The biggest difference between the two is that in the vein of martial arts, when a cultivator improves his own cultivation realm, his own martial arts have always been in a state of tempering and improving, and it can be said that martial arts and cultivation are completely proportional. In the martial arts, there are very few people who are advanced in cultivation but inferior in martial arts, if there is really such a person, then their background must be the descendants of the family lords, and there must be many dog-legged people around them.

The Taoist method, on the other hand, is the focus rather than the heavy technique.

Although with the development of the monastic world today, schools of thought that emphasize art rather than focus have gradually begun to appear, but the former is the mainstream of Taoism after all, so many so-called famous and decent schools focus on the foundation cultivation of their disciples. In this way, cultivators who cultivate the Dao Law are naturally prone to the situation where their cultivation is profound, but their combat ability is very weak.

In the final analysis, it is because the technique is not like martial arts, which can become muscle memory with body movements.

This is also the reason why genius children who cultivate Dao are often more valued than genius children of martial arts. After all, the cultivation of a technique can often take years from entry to proficiency, let alone real mastery or even mastery.

Even though Qing Yi is a genius in cultivating Dao arts, and has a natural preference bonus for Yin and Water, but two years have passed, and Qing Yi now only has one ice blade in his palm that can be mastered, and the remaining few small arts are still a long way from mastery.

But you must know that whether it is the ice blade in the palm of your hand, or the other spells taught by Ye Kong before leaving, they can only be regarded as small spells in the Dao Method, which is commonly known as "small tricks", and they cannot be regarded as real spells.

There is a difference between magic and small arts.

Xiaoshu is also known as the side door and left road in the Taoist method, of which there are 800 side doors and 3,000 left roads, a total of 3,800 kinds of small arts.

Palm techniques such as the Ice Blade in the Palm, the Palm Thunder, and the Fire in the Palm are one of the eight hundred side gates. As for the other small techniques that Qingyi knows, they are not even side doors, they are completely the likes of the left path - in the eyes of some traditional Taoist monks, the eight hundred side doors can barely be called "techniques", but they are generally regarded as small tricks, and pinching their noses also recognizes the existence of side doors.

Only the Three Thousand Left Daoists, these traditional Taoist monks did not recognize it at all, and even denounced it as dross that did not enter the stream.

The biggest advantage of Qingyi is that it is very self-aware. She knew very well that with only these few small techniques in her hands, she could still have some unexpected effects in a place like Nanchi Fangcheng, but if she was exposed to the eyes of the many big factions gathered in the Dao Gate now, she was afraid that she would be completely defeated after performing it once.

Failure, for Qingyi, is not terrible.

The past and experience of childhood have given Qingyi a very good mentality and endurance.

But what she was really afraid of was being ashamed of Ye Kong's teachings and dishonoring the Daomen.

……

The night wind is cold.

Because of the special relationship between the terrain and altitude, the winter here will be colder than others. This kind of cold does not only affect ordinary mortals, even the monks who live in the Sword Gate will feel very cold, especially those who are just starting to enter the Xuan Realm, if they climb the high places of the Sword Mountain in winter without adequate protection measures, their blood will be completely frozen.

At Daomen, they all call this special situation a cold winter trial.

Because as long as the blood flow is accelerated through continuous exercise, their bodies will become warmer, and the progress of cultivation is more obvious than other times. In winter, people practicing martial arts can be seen almost everywhere in the sword gate.

In previous years, it was selected a week before the official winter trial period.

However, this year, I don't know why, the unique winter trial here in the Daomen was actually nearly ten days earlier than the date of previous years, so at this moment, those major sect forces who came to visit the Daomen for the first time also felt unaccustomed and natural. However, except for those young disciples with low cultivation, those monks with advanced cultivation didn't care much about this, but the look of thought and surprise in their eyes was obviously a little interested in the special environment and climate of the Sword Gate.

The courtyard where he lived alone was a beautiful place in the middle of the mountain.

It's just that after she discovered the unique cold winter trial situation of Daomen, she naturally applied for a higher place to live, and Daomen naturally had no objections to this.

Therefore, whenever a disciple of the Sword Sect came to find Qingyi in winter, his eyes would show a little admiration.

Because this height of Qingyi's residence is already a place that belongs to those monks who have reached the peak of breaking through the realm at ease.

Even Wang Tianlong and Lu Shaoqing couldn't stand the influence of this high level of cold.

Feeling the cold night breeze, Qingyi reached out and patted his somewhat reddened cheek.

She had just finished practicing, although she didn't know why, but she found that the cold winter trial of the knife gate had a great amplification bonus effect on her mastery of spells, so once she entered the cold winter trial period every winter, Qingyi would spend all her time practicing spells, which was also the main reason why she could completely learn these small techniques in just two years.

At this time, there was still about half a month before the inner ratio of the knife gate, and Qing Yi could only continue to practice these small techniques he had mastered without a better solution, trying to cultivate the ice blade in his palm to the point of thorough mastery before the official start of the inner competition of the knife gate. As for the other minor arts, I hope that I can at least reach the level of mastery, after all, I am only one step away from true mastery.

Of course, Qingyi didn't think about it, trying to combine these small techniques, in the hope of making the magic more powerful.

However, the reason why the Three Thousand Left Paths were reprimanded by those orthodox Taoist monks as unpopular dross was because there were various defects in the Left Dao technique, and there was no possibility of any improvement at all. Unlike the Eight Hundred Side Gates, it can also exert a more powerful effect than spells in some special situations.

After several failed attempts, Qingyi finally had to give up this futile approach.

At this time, because her cultivation had just ended, and Qing Yi had not yet completely mastered the left-path technique of "Cold Sand Flying Needle", the nails of the five fingers of her right hand still maintained a pure white color, and they were still exuding cold.

The Cold Sand Flying Needle, one of the three thousand left paths, is condensed through the mobilization of the true element, and once the caster needs it, he only needs to wave his hand to launch five ice blades the size of a fingernail.

If you can cultivate this small technique to the level of mastery, then you can naturally transform it freely in an instant, playing the dual effect of stealth and raid.

Qingyi has not yet been completely proficient in this small technique, so neither the transfer of the true element nor the lifting after the administration can be completed instantly, but it needs a process of brewing. Of course, Qing Yi performed this Left Path technique at this time, not to continue to deepen the cultivation progress of this technique, but to try to see if it could be combined with another Left Path technique, "Water Mist in the Sleeve".

The biggest drawback of the Cold Sand Flying Needle is that the power of this spell is very small, and if the distance is too far, this spell can be easily dodged by almost a normal person. Of course, in addition to these few drawbacks, the Cold Sand Flying Needle will be taught to Qingyi by Ye Kong because of the aggressiveness of this technique: once it is pierced by the flying needle, then these flying needles will immediately integrate into the body of the person who is hit, thus playing a certain role in blocking the operation of the true element.

Although the effect of a single flying needle is not good, if the small amount is gathered, the threat is still very considerable.

The water mist in the sleeve is to condense the true element and convert it into low-temperature water vapor, although it does not have any aggressiveness and lethality, but once it is sprinkled by this water mist, its low temperature can also play a certain role in blocking the operation of the true element, and if it is directly sprinkled in the eyes, it can also cause the opponent's eyesight to decline for a certain period of time.

These two techniques of the left path are actually the "palm techniques" that were born out of the eight hundred side doors.

Qingyi's idea is to combine the water mist in the sleeve with the cold sand flying needle to create a more powerful and effective cold sand flying needle.

But after several attempts, whenever Qingyi wants to cast these two spells at the same time, it will inevitably lead to a conflict of true element effects, and he can't even cast one spell, let alone two spells. And if these two spells are cast in the order before and after, then they will also become two different spells, and naturally they will not be able to combine together to form a single spell.

Although he was a little depressed in his heart, he had tried for several days but still found nothing, so Qingyi naturally had to give up this attempt and think of other ways instead.

Another gust of cold wind blew, but Qingyi's face changed slightly, and Zhenyuan quickly condensed and shouted, "Who?" ”

"The idea is good, I can think of a combination of spells, but it's a pity that the method is not right."

As if in response to Qingyi's low shout, another voice sounded in this silent courtyard.
