At the bottom of the abyss of the secret realm, like a valley, there are strange flowers and plants everywhere, exuding a rich aura, and wisps of aura gather together, flowing at the bottom of the valley.

"Here it is. ”

Catherine pointed to a relatively flat rock in front of her and said, "Sit down cross-legged, dispel the distracting thoughts in your heart, and absorb and refine the aura here with your heart." ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

Luo Lan endured the discomfort that his body was bearing, quickly sat down cross-legged, according to Catherine's words, expelled the distracting thoughts in his heart, and it didn't take long for his heart to be clear, as if he had forgotten the pain caused by the invasion of the aura in his body, wisps of warm, cold, or dry aura in the body according to his will, flowing through the blood, texture, and constantly fitting with the body, and finally sinking into the depths of the body, turning into a part of the power he mastered.

This process is very long, and after watching Luo Lan gradually enter the state, Catherine smiled slightly, sat on the side with Erlang's legs crossed, and hugged her arms, and also entered her cultivation, but the cultivation of the Light Knight is more about the state of mind and the understanding of the laws between heaven and earth, so her cultivation is more like a contemplation, far less intense and dangerous than Luo Lan's cultivation.

......

A day later.

Luo Lan still sat cross-legged and motionless, but there were subtle changes around his body, wisps of dark blue star power continued to flow on the surface of his skin, and his chest exuded a scorching temperature and light, at this moment, after absorbing the secret aura of the day of tempering, it seemed that he had reached the limit, and a majestic aura gathered in his heart and lingered, neither absorbed by the body, nor dissipated, getting hotter and hotter, so that the young man was already sweating profusely.

"Ah......h

He snorted lightly, opened his eyes, and suddenly there were wisps of fiery aura spurting out of his eyes, at this moment, he was like being in the abyss of fire, indescribable pain, frowned and said, "Kai...... Teacher Catherine, I ...... I'm so sad. ”

"Hmm. ”

Catherine had already seen everything, and said: "You have persevered for a day, and the aura you have absorbed has greatly exceeded the energy you can refine, it is quite good to be able to hold on for so long, do you feel the same hard work now, and even your thinking has begun to be disordered?"

"Yes......"

The young man opened his mouth, and suddenly the flames of spiritual energy condensation continued to flow out from the corners of his mouth, and he trembled all over, and said, "Teacher, my willpower is about to be uncontrollable, what should I do?"

"Stand up. ”

Catherine's body rose suddenly, and the star source around her body was endless, and she stepped lightly on the tip of the grass, and suddenly her body floated out like a piece of catkins nearly twenty meters away, and landed in another area at the bottom of the secret abyss, and said, "Luo Lan, come here, see what this is?"

"Huh?"

Luo Lan almost couldn't move his steps, every pore of his body seemed to be burning, and he walked over step by step with great difficulty, his body swayed, until when he came to Catherine's side, he found that a flower about thirty centimeters was blooming among the grass, the white petals were extremely lush, exuding a faint fragrance, which made people's mood suddenly calm down.

"This ...... What is this?" asked Lorraine.

"Awakening flowers. ”

Catherine said: "A rare strange flower in the world, a hundred years of flowering, a hundred years of fruit, it is said that there are no more than ten awakening flowers on the entire continent, I didn't expect that one actually grew at the bottom of the secret realm, the fragrance of this flower can make people no longer restless, and the control of willpower also has a miraculous effect, you just sit on the side of the awakening flower to cultivate, it will make you no longer so hard." ”

"Oh......"

Luo Lan quickly sat cross-legged, with the fragrance of flowers wafting from his nose, and entered the cultivation state again, this time it was really much better, although he still felt that his body was hot due to the strong oppressive force of the aura, but his heart became extremely clear, and the previous irritable emotions were swept away, so that the body began to slowly absorb the aura again and became overflowing.

After a while, when he ran the star vein again, a very majestic star source power suddenly flowed out, which shocked the young man, he had never seen such a strong star source power in a student, and even seemed to have surpassed Rodney's star source power strength!

He was puzzled, opened his eyes and asked, "Teacher, why didn't you let me cultivate with the help of the Awakening Flower at the beginning?"

"I did it on purpose. ”

Catherine glanced at the puzzled student, couldn't help but wonder, and said, " It's very simple, as a cultivator, what we cultivate is not only strength, but also the way of heaven, as well as the search for the heart, if you only cultivate the physical body and star source power, then there will definitely be a limit, maybe you will never be able to break through the shackles, so in the past day, you have practiced all day in the worst environment, and you have persevered all day, which is quite beneficial to the tempering of your willpower and spiritual power, if you don't go through these ups and downs and pains, where is the sense of accomplishment and fun of you climbing this mountain?"

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and felt that it made a lot of sense, the first day of cultivation really benefited him a lot, and his understanding of the aura and laws of heaven and earth had also deepened a lot, so he nodded and smiled: "Teacher, you are right, thank you!"

"Keep cultivating, there are only two days left. ”

"Yes!"

......

Another full day passed.

The next day's cultivation was quite smooth for Luo Lan, especially the first half of the day's cultivation can be called enjoyment, with the help of the Awakening Flower, his spiritual power has continued to become extremely full and powerful, and the star source power in his body has also begun to be stored and enriched in the depths of his body, and with the improvement of these cultivations, his hearing and perception have also been improved, and even with his eyes closed, he can hear the wind blowing through the illusion outside, and he can hear the whispers of Master Vallog and Mikaira.

"Mikala, are you guys from the Scarlet Castle really going to kill the cadets with your own hands?" asked Master Vallog.

"Yes. ”

Mikala's voice was a little helpless, and she said, "Especially when recruiting new cadets once every three years, a large number of cadets will be killed because they don't pass the test, and most of them killed are servant knights. ”

"Humph......"

Vallog said indifferently: "I have long heard of the iron-blooded methods of the Bright Sect, this is the first time it has been confirmed, if this is the Heavenly Dao pursued by the Bright Sect, then don't do it." ”

Mikaela sighed and said: "Actually, this is also a special means in extraordinary times, you also know that the activities of the Sky Gate are becoming more and more frequent, I am afraid that it will not be long before a catastrophe will fall again on the continent, the strength of the Demon Beast Legion is getting stronger and stronger, we need to use extraordinary means to discover and train more strong people, you see, Luo Lan, Rodney, Lin Ke and others are the people who have passed the test, and their strength has already changed dramatically compared to a year ago." ”

"So, you're supporting the Scarlet Castle's iron-clad tactics?" Vallog's voice was reprimanded.

"Nope. ”

Mikaela said softly: "I'm just a small big knight, and I'm not qualified to ask about the affairs of the upper echelons at all, and the affairs of the Scarlet Castle and the Holy See of Light are not something I can talk about, please forgive me." ”

"I know. ”

Vallog sighed and said, "But we are all people who cultivate the Heavenly Dao, if we don't even have the heart to stick to ourselves, how can we transcend?"

Mikaela whispered, "Master, I can't compare with you, even if I have any ideas, I can't say it. ”

"I see. ”

"Let's talk about something else. Valrog changed his words: "Lord Catherine, are you familiar with her......? After so many years, if she still doesn't want to get married, I'm afraid she will have to live her whole life, let me calculate how old she is...... Oh, I'm almost thirty years old, a handful of old people......"

Mikala: "......"

......

The bottom of the secret realm.

Not only did Loren hear these conversations, Catherine was a knight of light, and her insight was much sharper than Loren's, so she naturally heard it, and couldn't help but clench her pink fist and said softly: "Hmph, Vallog, this old guy...... It's time for his magic to be tempered by my fists. ”

"Teacher, calm down......" Luo Lan whispered.

Suddenly, Catherine sneered and said, "You heard that too?"

"Hmm. ”

"That's right, the perception ability has improved so much, it seems that I really didn't make a wrong choice to bring you to the secret realm to cultivate. ”

"Thank you, teacher!"

"You're welcome, after you go out, as my student, you must not be bullied by others. ”

"Yes!"

......

The third day was also an extremely difficult day.

When the aura in Luo Lan's body was completely full, it would be difficult to increase it even a little, and the star source power in his body was like about to burst his body.

However, Catherine on the side said softly: "Continue to cultivate, your body is like a pool, although it seems to be full now, but as long as you use your heart to comprehend and comprehend, you can still continue to broaden a little, so that it is called a real breakthrough, otherwise it is just filling the empty pool with water, what kind of entry is this, right?"

"Hmm!"

The young man nodded heavily, although his body seemed to explode at any time, and he also felt a blankness and silence in the depths of his soul, but he still concentrated his energy, continued to absorb the aura of the outside world, and continued to cultivate in a meditative way, turning a little bit of aura into his own use, and improving little by little with a very small increase.

Even, he could feel that his strength had indeed completely surpassed Instructor Haimu, and even surpassed a lot, especially the strength of the star source force, which had stabilized all the earth knights in the Scarlet Castle, and might even be able to wrestle with a heavenly knight like Gabriel, but I am afraid that he was still a little short of the combat experience and martial arts sharpening.

But it doesn't matter, it's a long time coming.
