The three strangers listened to the so-called state of mind narrated by the harsh winter, and were silent for a long time...

"Monks practice step by step, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation for themselves, whether it is a genius or other martial arts cultivation, the long road of cultivation, only if you go far enough can others remember you, throughout the ages, geniuses are like carp crossing the river, most of them are just a flash in the pan, what's the use?" Yan Dong shook his head, it seemed that he was talking to himself to strangers, and there was a trace of loneliness on his original spiritual face, and soon that expression disappeared again.

The fire in front of him was unfamiliar and did not add hay in time, and the burning flame slowly weakened to the appearance of being extinguished at any time.

Seeing that the stranger was about to add grass to the fire, Yan Dong waved his hand to stop it: "Okay, we should also go on the road, there are still some powerful demon beasts in this deep mountain that are not a place to stay for a long time, and if you rest any longer, it will be troublesome if you bring them over." ”

Hearing this, the stranger also stopped the movements in his hand, and the harsh winter called a wind and fire bird, and the wind and fire bird that was soaring in the sky descended and landed in front of the group.

The stranger cleaned up the burning fire, and the group got on the back of the wind and fire birds, and left the scorched earth.

After eating the meat of the demon beast, the Wind and Fire Bird was extremely energetic, and its flight speed was a little faster than before, like a fiery red firework slanting into the sky.

On the back of the Wind and Fire Bird, the stranger has been experiencing the state of mind that the harsh winter said, since he cultivated martial arts, all his energy has been focused on refreshing his strength and realm, and he never thought that the original state of mind is also something that martial artists need to exercise.

"Dong Lao, how should this state of mind be cultivated?"

Since there is a good teacher next to him, the stranger will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, and asks directly.

Looking at the harsh winter of the Wind and Firebird's flight path in front of him, he turned around and replied: "The cultivation of the state of mind, it's hard to say, a lot of times it depends on what you have experienced, when you are in a series of negative emotions such as despair, collapse, sadness, pain, etc., whether you can withstand such a blow, what kind of impact it has on you, and what kind of impact it has on your cultivation. ”

The stranger said with some incomprehension: "Do you have to go through these things in order to cultivate your state of mind?"

Strange also understands this feeling, when he learned that he was not Mo Yan's biological son, he experienced this feeling of collapse when he learned that he was abandoned by his parents, and once thought that he had fallen into the abyss, it was Mo Yan's redoubling care and Mo Xi's meticulous care that made him sober up, and made him understand that family affection is not just blood, Mo Yan has always regarded him as a son, and Mo Xi Mo Ling has always been his dearest and most beloved brother. They are all his closest people.

But if according to what the harsh winter said, you must go through these states of mind in order to grow, then it is too much to look at luck, and some warriors have been worry-free since they were young and have been loved by thousands of people, so don't they cultivate their state of mind?

Yan Dong actually shook his head when he heard this: "A long time ago, it was true that cultivating the state of mind was honed by oneself, but in the past thousands of years, the Fu Array Master has studied a kind of illusion array that can imitate the Heart Demon Tribulation, allowing the monk to face the fear in his heart in the illusion. ”

"Phantom Array?"

"Hmm. Yan Dong nodded and said: "A very magical illusion array, when the monk enters the illusion array, the illusion array will simulate the scene that the monk is most afraid of appearing, so that the monk can face these fears." ”

There will actually be a phantom array that imitates the heart demon tribulation, the rune array master is really powerful, and the stranger will feel at ease after hearing it, and there will really be another way, and the stranger is very interested in this so-called phantom array.

"However, not everyone can have such a phantom array, because the cost is very expensive, and it also needs to be repaired and maintained by the rune array master from time to time, and if it is not for some big sects or cities, it will not be able to supply such a phantom array at all. Yan Dong explained.

The strange thought for a while and said, "Then there is no one in the academy?"

Yan Dong smiled: "Nanli Academy, as one of the four major colleges, naturally has. ”

Hearing Yan Dong say that there was one in Nanli Academy, the stranger's heart skipped a beat, and he looked forward to entering Nanli Academy to see the so-called Heart Magic Array.

Zhang Liang scratched his head: "Teacher, I didn't see the phantom array you just mentioned in the academy before?"

Yan Dong said angrily: "You stinky boy knows how to run to Yuxian Zhai in the academy, where will you pay attention to these things, this phantom array is in the Pure Heart Tower, if you behave well this time, I will let you go in and give it a try!"

Zhang Liang smiled embarrassedly, and muttered: "How can I know so much about the big academy, and besides, I haven't been around for long, so I won't be brought out by you." ”

"Huh?" Yan Dong glared at him majestically, knocked Zhang Liang's head, and reprimanded: "If I don't take you out to hone it, where will you make progress so fast, and you dare to stand up to the teacher's mouth, hurry up and give me cultivation!"

Zhang Liang covered his head, didn't dare to say more, and obediently retreated to the side to cultivate.

Reprimanded Zhang Liang, Yan Dong looked at Shangguan Lan Die, and said: "Lan'er, you were originally at the peak of the four-star realm of martial arts, but Liang'er is at the peak of the four-star realm, but you have broken through to the five-star at the same time, it stands to reason that you should have increased after breaking through, right, why are you at the same level of momentum as him? Take advantage of the current time to quickly recuperate, feel your true qi operation, and whether you have completely absorbed the aura in the flesh of the demon beast." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Landi nodded lightly, and also retreated to the side and crossed his knees to cultivate.

The stranger was still standing there, but Yan Dong didn't let him meditate and cultivate, but took out two pots of wine from the storage ring.

"Come, Mo boy, sit down and have a drink with my bad old man. ”

Yan Dong opened the two jugs of wine, handed one to the stranger, and patted the place beside him to signal the stranger to sit down.

The stranger was stunned for a moment, took the wine jug and sat next to the harsh winter, and the two sat in front of the wind and firebird, looking at the speeding clouds and the bright moon that would always hang in the sky the same size.

"That's right, Dong Lao. The strange took a sip of wine, glanced back at Shangguan Landi and Zhang Liang, who had already settled, and said to Yan Dong: "Are the two of them going to participate in the freshman assessment? If there is so much difference in the grades of the freshmen in the assessment, should they be assessed together?"

Seeing such a subtle expression from the stranger, Yan Dong laughed: "Haha, what do you want to say, Mo boy, I know, these two little guys are indeed too different from you, but they don't need to participate in the freshman assessment." ”

"Lan'er and Liang'er are the two old people I asked to take care of, they are equivalent to the disciples I accepted outside, and they can directly enter Nanli Academy as my students. ”

Stranger was surprised again when he heard Yan Dong say this, he didn't expect it to be like this, then every elder in the academy can bring many students in, so what is the meaning of this so-called assessment?

Seeing that the stranger frowned slightly, Yan Dong took another sip of wine, and said leisurely: "Mo boy, don't you think it's very unfair?" In fact, I haven't finished my words yet. ”

The stranger did not agree with this approach in his heart, and when he heard that the harsh winter had not finished speaking, he continued to listen silently.

"And if it is a person who has passed the freshman assessment, he is the object of the academy's key training, and the academy will give him a generous reward through his achievements, and there will be a subsidy for qi cultivation stones and pills every month, and the top three colleges in the assessment will also let them get one to three days of pure heart pavilion cultivation opportunities, and the academy will give them the opportunity to try in the secret realm. ”

"Rewards, subsidies, secret realms?"

Strange heard the reward after passing the assessment that Yan Dong said, I don't know what it is, but not to mention the heaven-level martial arts is one of the Pure Heart Pavilion cultivation makes him particularly excited, Pure Heart Pavilion is the so-called phantom array, the phantom array that can hone the state of mind, and the strange wants to experience how wonderful it is.

Yan Dong explained: " The rewards are issued according to the ranking of each person's assessment, and what it is depends on the decision of the academy, but I can tell you that they are all very powerful things, the first place in the freshman assessment last time The academy directly rewarded him with a local-level mid-level martial arts, as for the first place in the training of qi stones and pills, you can get ten high-grade qi training stones and a Biyun Qi Pill, a brute dragon pill and a red-blooded snow lotus pill every month, the secret realm trial is a place for students to exercise their cultivation, there are many natural treasures and beasts, that is, chance and danger coexist, and the students of the trial can even find high-level elixirs and treasures if they are lucky！”

After listening to the harsh winter, the strange eyes widened, this reward is too rich!!

Ten high-grade Qi Refining Stones, equivalent to one thousand medium-grade Qi Refining Stones, this is a great wealth!? Before he found two Biyunzhi, it was estimated that he could sell hundreds of medium-grade Qi Refining Stones, and he was very happy, as well as the Biyun Qi Pill, the Barbarian Dragon Pill, and the Red Blood Snow Lotus Pill. Biyun Qi Pill has also been said before, and this Brute Dragon Pill is an elixir that enhances the strength of the monk in a short period of time, the Brute Dragon is a powerful demon beast with extremely strong destructive power, and it has directly broken half of the mountain range with one grab!

And the Red Blood Snow Lotus Pill is a top-grade healing pill, and this kind of pill has thousands of medium-grade Qi Cultivation Stones on the market.

Such a priceless elixir is actually available every month, not to mention the prefecture-level martial arts, this kind of high-level martial arts, I don't dare to think of it at all!

"Now you know the benefits of passing the assessment, right?" said Yan Dong, turning his head and giving a teasing look.

"What I just said about Liang'er and Lan'er is right that they can directly enter Nanli Academy as my students, but if they enter, they can only be regarded as ordinary students, and only when they are enrolled, Nanli Academy allows each elder to bring up to two people into Nanli Academy, these two people also need to pay a high admission fee of three hundred high-grade Qi Cultivation Stones, and the academy will not give any rewards and subsidies, do you understand what I told you?"

The strange nodded, he understood what Yan Dong said and finally knew the stakes here, the two places on these elders were actually prepared by Nanli Academy for those brothers and young ladies of the family who were rich and talented but not very good, and the tuition fee of these three hundred high-grade qi stones alone scared the stranger, and they didn't know if there were three hundred high-grade qi stones in a year's income of Mofu.

But the stranger will not choose such a path, he wants to be admitted to Nanli Academy in a dignified manner, not only that, he wants to fight for the first place, because the first prize that Yan Dong told him is too rich, how can he not be tempted!?
