Forty-four, three years to break the fourth order

There is a cliff fault in the south direction on the bamboo peak, there is a large square between the ancient cypress and pine on the cliff, there is a large square between the pine and bamboo seas, the square is the place where the disciples of the sword sect are not knotted with Dan are ordinary cultivation, a towering building not far away is the Chuan Gong Hall, there is a lotus pond in front of the hall, there are all kinds of lotus flowers or rolls or put in the pond, the fragrance floats in all directions. Some people step on lotus leaves, and it turns out that the lotus leaves are used as a road in front of the Gong Gong Hall, and this way is unique, so that every year, there are disciples who have failed to pass the basic skills and fall into the water to make jokes.

The sea of clouds on the edge of the cliff is churning, and under the sunshine, a layer of light curtain as thin as cicada wings envelops the entire cliff perimeter, glowing with colorful light.

There are many disciples in the huge square, under the leadership of a teacher, practicing the means of controlling and controlling things. After all, the Qinglian Sword Sect is a sword sect, and compared with other sects, the requirements for the Imperial Realm are stricter, according to the meaning of the words handed down by the ancestors of the Sword Sect, if the person who uses the sword is not able to control the sword well, how can he talk about killing the enemy? Therefore, the Qinglian Sword Sect has set up six tests for the Imperial Realm, and many realms have been raised to the level of Jiedan and still cannot get the allocation of a separate cultivation territory, because they have not completely passed these six tests, so they have to continue to stay in the square.

A sturdy disciple poked a disciple beside him with an elbow with a black face and a thin body like a bamboo pole and said, "Thin horse monkey, have you heard? The disciple named Hu Chen that the sect master accepted broke through the realm again a few days ago, this time it seems that he has entered the realm of knotting, and he is worthy of being a closed disciple who is favored by the sect master, according to his method of breaking through the realm, wouldn't he be a great cultivator out of the realm of gods in less than twenty years? ”

The black thin disciple glanced at the sturdy disciple who sighed and teased: "Fat man, what are you sighing there for? Practice your skills well, look at you, you have been in the beginners for twenty years, and you are still lying on the high level of the Imperial Object, and then look at the people, it has only been a few years since you entered the door, and you have been promoted from the Imperial Realm to the Jiedan, you, you are far behind, there is no comparison!"

The sturdy disciple was not happy for a while, his hand movements were a little slower, and the volume was slightly louder: "Hey, I said thin horse monkey, do you talk like this? Haven't you also entered the door for seventeen years, one level lower than me, what are you angry in front of me? Just like you, Hu Chen can beat you ten times with one hand, believe it or not, you are really angry with me!"

The teacher with a thin face who couldn't tell his age turned around when he noticed the movement, looked at the two people with horizontal eyebrows and raised eyebrows, and reprimanded: "Cheng Mo, Ma He, what are you doing? If you don't practice well for a day, you will complain about the sky for a long time, and you can also call Hu and Hu Xiaoshu by their names? No matter how big or small, I have to call him junior uncle in terms of seniority, you two will go to the center of the cross-heaven rope for two hours, and you are not allowed to come down until the hour!"

Cheng Mo, who was sturdy, slashed the horse fiercely, took the lead out of the team, calmed down his mood, and walked up like a streamer across the sky. The cross-heaven rope is one of the six tests, a ribbon less than a finger's width across the entire duckweed river connects Zhujie Peak and Gu Hongfeng, the disciples who accept the test need to complete the journey without the help of foreign objects within the specified time, the more they reach the center, the stronger the river wind, and they must control themselves not to fall into the duckweed river, although two hours is not much, but it is not easy for them to be in the realm of imperial objects.

The two of them still had the energy to argue at the beginning, and the more they went to the center, the more nervous their expressions became, and the bodies of the two people blown by the river wind kept shaking, and they needed to do their best not to fall into the river, although they would not be injured, they could not get over their faces. A group of disciples whispered, some laughed at the two, some bet that the two of them couldn't last two hours, and more talked about Hu Chen's breaking speed, a few years ago, Song Xize broke the sixth order in ten years was terrifying enough, and now it is even more terrifying for Hu Chen to break the fourth order in three years.

When Hu Chen first entered the Jiedan, Li Twelve asked him to come to the library to watch some of the handwritings left behind by the monks of the sect after the feathering of the previous dynasties, firstly, to consolidate the realm, but also to learn from the experience of the predecessors.

Hu Chen leaned against a quaint bookshelf and then looked at a notebook in his hand brightly and quietly, the title of the book was 'Flowing Heart Collection', a codex left behind by a deceased sword cultivator of the Jiedan Realm, signed Tang Xing. At the beginning, the author said that his own realm is not high, and he is only at the intermediate level of the Jiedan, but some of the books have unique insights on the use of some methods and techniques in the Jiedan realm, as well as the condensation of Jindan, and even have a detailed description of how to target the martial arts pneumatic realm, which Hu Chen can't put down.

Hu Chen's soft grinding and hard bubbles, finally got the permission of Fan Ting, the owner of the library building, to be able to bring this 'flowing heart collection' back to the residence to watch, you must know that the books in the library building are not allowed to be borrowed, Fan Ting is also impatient by Hu Chen, the main reason is that Fan Ting looks at Hu Chen pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for Hu Chen's disciple as a disciple of the sect master, he can still not give face, such as Hu Chen's age There are too few young people who love to read.

Hu Chen was sitting precariously, holding a book in his hand and staring intently, with the smell of ink, sunshine and dust on the tip of his nose. During this time, he read a lot of books that he was interested in in the library, and many books that had been eaten for many years were also turned out by him, just like the "Hongzu Travels" in his hand, the author of the book was not signed. When Hu Chen found the book, it was covered with dust, and small spiders had webs on it.

When Hu Chen opened this book, which had been left unattended for many years, he was immediately attracted by the descriptions in it, it turned out that there were so many unknown sides of the Crescent Moon Continent, the snowy plains in the extreme north that never sleeped, the southern netherworld swamps that had the Bimon clan, the endless sea with flying fish the size of the city, and the eight-legged sea monster that set off monstrous waves at every turn.

Li Twelve found Hu Chen, who was meditating in the house, Hu Chen hurriedly got up to meet his master, Li Twelve waved his hand to show no need to be polite, looked at Hu Chen's weather, couldn't help nodding with relief, and then quietly climbed up his brows with some worry.

Hu Chen's realm has been extremely solid after this period of time, and his aura has been condensed, so he thought that he had worked hard in private, otherwise he would not have stabilized his realm so quickly. The whole person is in good spirits, and there is not the slightest arrogance of breaking the fourth order in three years, this is a point that makes Li Twelve happy, Hu Chen's breakthrough is too fast, there are good and bad, a person's responsibility is often related to his ability, the realm is high, he must carry something, Li Twelve doesn't want Hu Chen to come into contact with those sinister so soon, Hu Chen is still too young, the road to repair is long, he wants Hu Chen to have more carefree time.

For some rumors in the sect, Li Twelve tried not to let them spread, many people are burdened by these false names, what can be the first one? But in the vast number of sentient beings, countless people are vying for this name, mortals are like this, cultivators are still like this, where the people's hearts are, where is not the rivers and lakes?

Li Twelve thought for a long time, but still smiled and handed Hu Chen a pocket sword, the small sword was not gold or wood, the cyan material was like jade, and the hilt of the sword was engraved with a very small word Qinglian. Hu Chen didn't know why, after taking it, he looked at it repeatedly, only to feel that the little sword was cold in his hand, and there was a trace of coolness that went straight into his heart, refreshing his spleen, Hu Chen took a deep breath and looked inward, and found that there seemed to be a trace of pale cyan aura, and the aura between the chest and abdomen shuttled between the chest and abdomen, and some of the bloated aura between the meridians seemed more condensed after being stirred.

Hu Chen looked up at Li Twelve, handed the little sword back to the master, and excused himself: "Master, this gift is too valuable, the apprentice can't afford it, please take it back from the master." ”

Li Twelve smiled and said: "Hu Chen, you have been getting started for three years, the teacher has not officially given you a decent apprenticeship gift, this small sword will be given to you, it is now dispensable for me, but it is different for you, after carrying it with you, it will always temper your aura, which is very helpful for the improvement of your realm, so don't shirk, you and remember, this little sword should not be easily visible in front of people." ”

Hu Chen also knew the benefits of the little sword, and when he heard what the master said, he happily thanked him and collected it personally.

Li Twelve continued: "Practicing together, diligence is a good thing, and there is no need to be in such a hurry when it comes to breaking through the realm. You have also made a Dan, you can go to the foreign affairs room to have a look, and you can also do some things that you can do, and the world is full of cultivation, not just sitting on the mountain. By the way, Jiazi Dabi is almost here, you have to prepare, don't lose your face as a teacher. Hantan is a good place to temper your aura, and you can also take a look when you have time.

Hu Chen nodded yes, and Li Twelve told him about some matters that needed to be paid attention to in Jiazi Dabi and left with others.

Jiazi Dabi was originally a way for two in-law cultivators on the mainland to contact their feelings, and later became famous all over the world because of a pair of Taoist couples from two immortal families, and this method was widely adopted by the monastic sects on the mainland and continued.

Jiazi Dabi is held every sixty years, and it is generally held by the adjacent or well-related immortal sects to send disciples with equal realms in the door to learn from each other and confirm the Dao Law, and the winner is not only famous, but also has a substantial reward, for many young cultivators who are still young and cannot treasure the scale, this way is safer and more reliable than exploring dangerous places or relics to obtain the magic weapon.

Jiazi Dabi has some blockbuster geniuses in history, and there are more heavy treasures in the world, take the last mirror wheel of the domestic Xun Huo Zhai as an example, in order to motivate the disciples to get a good ranking, he did not hesitate to come up with half a set of unique fire control cheats of the sect, but unfortunately in the end he was preempted by a nominal Ye Xiu of a small faction, and made a joke, of course, in the end, Ye Xiu secretly became the worship of Xun Huo Zhai in order to get a full set of fire control cheats, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for Xun Huo Zhai.

There is no moon in the starry night, Hu Chen can't sleep, so he wants to go to the mountainside cold pool that the master said to sit down, the cold dew is deep at night, at this time in the cold pool to concentrate and refine the qi will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, Hu Chen thought of this, said to go.

The fog of the cold pool rises, and the cold air is pressed far away, the cold pool is not big, there is a small island in the pool, there is a pavilion on the island, the island is connected to the shore by a small bridge, and there are many futons in the pavilion, which can be used by the disciples to meditate and refine qi. The cold pool water bubbles down the small bridge, and many cold-loving flowers and trees along the way are still blooming in the middle of winter.

There is a cold spring in the depths of the cold pool, called frost crying, the disciples of the sword sect think it is not very lucky, so they call it a cold spring, the cold spring gushes extremely cold frozen water all year round, it can be said that the cold pool exists because of the frost cry cold spring.

There is a lonely thatched hut at one end of the bridge, there is an old man who is not very close to the door guarding the cold pool, every year there are one or two unlucky eggs who want to sneak into the cold pool to explore the treasure and are ruthlessly thrown by the old man to the duckweed river to drink a full drink.

The frost weeping cold spring is extremely dangerous, if you don't take precautions, the Qi practitioners of the Dan high level may be frostbitten, once the spirit is injured, not to mention the damage to the avenue, it is more likely to fall into the depths of the cold spring forever because you can't evacuate the range of the cold spring in time, since the establishment of the Sword Sect, there have been many similar tragedies. However, there are still many mantles and magic weapons of the ancestors of the Sword Sect waiting to be obtained by those who are destined to do so, so the Sword Sect does not hesitate to spend a lot of effort to set up an enchantment in the depths of the Cold Spring, and there are special personnel to guard the Cold Pool, which can greatly avoid the occurrence of tragedy.

Hu Chen saw a white dress in the pavilion from afar, it was the sixth senior brother Song Xize, Hu Chen walked into the pavilion quickly after obtaining the consent of the old man in the wooden house, Song Xize was aware of Hu Chen's arrival on the bridge, and waited for Hu Chen to come to him before slowly exhaling and opening his eyes.

Hu Chen arched his hand and smiled: "Meet Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother secretly works hard in such a good place, and he doesn't call Senior Brother me, it's not kind." ”

Song Xize got up and replied with a smile: "Little junior brother, don't make fun of me, who doesn't know how fast you have broken through the realm in the past few years, I won't secretly use some work, in two years, your realm will be higher than that of senior brother and me, how can I be this senior brother? Since you are here, don't waste time, let's cultivate together." ”

After Hu Chen sat down, he smiled and said: "Master said that Jiazi Dabi is coming, and let me not embarrass him, senior brother, you should often come here to concentrate and refine your qi, can you tell your junior brother what tricks and so on, otherwise if I lose, won't it be equivalent to losing your face, senior brother?"

Song Xize put aside Hu Chen's hand and said with a cold face: "You just entered the Yudan and thought about being lazy? ”

Hu Chen turned sideways and pursed his mouth, if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it, what kind of senior brother shelf?

Song Xize glanced at the serious Hu Chen, and sneered in his heart, no matter how hard the local chicken worked, did he really want to fly on the branch as a phoenix? I don't know what Li Twelve thought in his heart, he had received the support of many people in the sect over the years, the Song valve family had a great cause, and with the backing of the Qinglian Sword Sect, the restoration of the former glory was just around the corner, and now a closed disciple Hu Chen came out of nowhere, breaking through the realm like drinking water, he had already seen Hu Chen unpleasantly over the years, if it weren't for the identity of the senior brother, he...

There was silence around Hantan, the two sat opposite each other, and in the middle of the night, the cold air gushed like a substance, instantly drowning the two figures!
