Yuan Qing stretched in the early morning sun, and the whole tree moved, the leaves made a rustling sound, and its movements brought a breeze, and the branches that had been swept away by Lan Chengyu grew new leaves in an instant.

Lan Chengyu, who was thinking about the Howling Moon Tiger last night, was stunned by the scene in front of him, this formation was too shocking, the behemoth in front of him that covered the sky and the sun suddenly moved, and he hurriedly stepped back with the Longquan Sword in his hand to keep a safe distance.

"Ahh......h

"You can actually move!" Lan Chengyu asked, thinking that if this giant tree could move like this a few days ago, he would have been slapped away by it.

"Yes, I have become a spiritual immortal, and I would like to thank you for your elixir and Dharma protector. But you've been frightened, you've been hurt for me, and I should have given you some gifts to compensate. Seeing that Lan Chengyu seemed to be thinking something, the tree spirit said.

Seeing that the giant tree had no malicious intent, Lan Chengyu put down the sword in his hand, but the sword was almost damaged, and it was estimated that it would have to be repaired if it was returned to the furnace.

"No, you and I have known each other for a long time, besides, you have also helped me cultivate, you have gone through such a long period of years of cultivation, I want to ask if the path of cultivation really has to fight for your life and death?"

"Competition is inevitable, but how to compete depends on yourself, and it is not good to harm others and yourself by unscrupulous means. The dryad said, "I also protect this treasure land with a barrier, otherwise it may be taken away, in fact, my occupation of this place is also a kind of competition." But those who cultivate the Tao should have light in their hearts and charity in their hearts, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the Great Way. ”

"When you first came, you practiced here for one night, and I didn't hinder you, and then you have to cultivate here for a long time to occupy my treasure land, and then I used psychedelic magic to interfere with you, if I drip a drop of venom ruthlessly, I can completely take your life, and I can also nourish me with your flesh and blood, but that will not only take the grudge, but also violate the avenue I cultivated, so I won't do it." The dryad said again.

"It seems that you are cultivating the path of righteousness and light, but this cultivation journey is extremely difficult and dangerous, like last night, if the Howling Moon Tiger took your inner pill, wouldn't it cost you your life and ruin your cultivation, what is the purpose of such a hard and dangerous cultivation?" Lan Chengyu asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"In order to stand tall in this world for thousands of years, in order to transform into a human form and pursue the Immortal Path and ascend to the Immortal, aren't you cultivating for this?" the tree spirit asked.

"I don't know. Lan Chengyu didn't have an answer in his heart.

Speaking of incarnating into a human form, Lan Chengyu asked curiously, "Even if you can speak, can you also incarnate into a human form, why don't you incarnate into a human form and talk to me? ”

"I've just become a fairy, and I'm still some distance away from taking on a human form, but I can make a face. After all, the texture of the bark and the branches on the trunk of the tree really turned into the image of a human face, which had a nose and eyes, but it was very large.

Looking at the face of the tree spirit, Lan Chengyu finally found a person to talk to, so he said, "Half of my previous cultivation was for revenge, half of it was for retaining the special skills on my body, and then I cultivated so as not to eliminate and not become a wasted person, but what if I passed the selection?

"Don't worry, you'll know when you get there, don't you see that you have a goal of cultivation now? Everyone has their own goals and dreams, and we spend our whole lives asking and answering what is the meaning of our existence!" said the tree spirit.

"But what's the point of cultivation?" Lan Chengyu asked.

"What's the meaning, this is the question that every cultivator has been answering all his life, you see that my current meaning is to cultivate to become a spirit immortal, you just have to pass the selection. The dryad said.

"Does that make sense?" Lan Chengyu was even more puzzled.

"There is no point in asking your heart. The dryad said.

"Ask your heart!" Lan Chengyu repeated, something seemed to be gradually clear in his heart, but it was difficult to fathom.

"Alright, you should go, oh, by the way, I forgot to ask your name, maybe we'll meet again later." The dryad said.

"My name is Lan Chengyu, do you have a name?" Lan Chengyu asked.

"Yuan Qing," the tree spirit said.

"There will be a period later!" Lan Chengyu said goodbye and picked up the broken sword on the ground, although the blade was broken, it could also be used for self-defense.

"Wait, show me your sword. Yuan Qing said.

Lan Chengyu looked at the sword in his hand and didn't know what it was going to do, but what was so good about a broken sword, but he still threw the sword at the tree spirit.

A branch quickly caught the sword, and the dryad had not yet turned into a human form, but was able to move completely freely.

"Well, it's a good sword, but the material is a little worse, I'll help you go back to the furnace to refine it." Yuan Qing said.

Lan Chengyu asked curiously, "You know how to refine swords!

"You can just wait and see, but you may have to wait an hour. Yuan Qing finished speaking, and threw the sword in the air.

The sword hung in the air and did not fall, and a few cyan lights emitted from Yuan Qing's branches, gradually wrapping the sword, but it was not long before the sword was completely wrapped in cyan glare and could not be seen at all.

Lan Chengyu could feel a powerful energy surging through the branches of the tree into the blue light, and after a while, the center of the blue light emitted a dazzling blazing white light.

The radiation of the light made people feel unbearably hot, Lan Chengyu did not disturb Yuan Qing, took out some dry food and walked to a slightly farther place to rest and eat.

The scenery in the Infinite Mountain is indeed beautiful, and when Lan Chengyu watched the beautiful scenery blowing in the breeze, a crisp steel vibration sound came!

When Lan Chengyu looked back, a sword shining with cyan light was inserted into the ground, the sword was still the same as before, but the blade of the sword had been renewed, and the whole sword was full of cyan light, as if the steel was soaked in a faint layer of cyan, and it looked wonderful.

Reaching out and pulling out the sword, a pleasant sound of metal vibration came, "Good sword!"

Looking at the sword body near the sword grid, the word Longquan has disappeared, but there are two seal script fonts "Qingfeng".

"Qingfeng Sword!" Lan Chengyu unconsciously said three words.

"Hehe! This sword is already the nine-layer refining of my skills, and it is better than your previous one, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cutting gold and jade, and a sharp blade. Yuan Qing said.

A leaf fell right at the edge of the sword, but it didn't stop, it floated directly past the blade of the sword and was split into two halves and continued to fall.

"Brother Yuanqing, this sword is too precious, how can I accept this great gift. Lan Chengyu arched his hand and said.

"It's just a sword, and besides, I broke this sword for you, and now it's just a new sword with you. Yuan Qing said.

Lan Chengyu no longer politely excused himself, "Then thank you Brother Dao, we will have a meeting later, and we will definitely come to see you again if we have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Okay, goodbye!" Yuan Qing smiled.

Lan Chengyu put away his sword and stepped down the mountain, his next journey may have to be day and night, but the 7 days of delay actually made his true qi value reach 129, so that his extreme speed using the Land Soaring Technique has been greatly improved, and he should be able to reach Lijiang on time.

A week later, Lan Chengyu came to the edge of Lijiang City as scheduled. However, at this time, Lan Chengyu had fluffy hair, a sloppy beard, shabby clothes, and a wooden staff in his hand, looking like a beggar, fortunately he washed his face by the stream, otherwise it would be more similar.

Lan Chengyu threw away the wooden staff, threw away his hands and walked towards Lijiang City, he was as light as a swallow at this time.

Feng Lingyu's navigation showed that Dao Ran's location was in the ancient city of Lijiang, and Lan Chengyu thought that this Dao Ran mentor would enjoy it, and he actually had a leisurely vacation in the ancient city of Lijiang.

When I met Dao Ran, he was drinking Pu'er tea in the inn, looking leisurely.

At first, the shopkeeper thought that Lan Chengyu was a beggar and wanted to blast him out, but Dao Ran got up and stopped the shopkeeper and let Lan Chengyu enter the inn.

"Mentor, I've arrived as scheduled. Lan Chengyu said.

"Very good, but in the future, you have to pay attention to the image, your appearance is really inappropriate, go wash up and drink tea with me." Dao Ran said.

Lan Chengyu agreed and walked to the bathroom of the room, thinking, "It's not that you took all my salutes and money, otherwise would I be willing to do this virtue?

After washing and changing clothes, Lan Chengyu sat down in front of the coffee table, and Dao Ran poured a cup of tea for Lan Chengyu.

"How has this month's training been?" asked Dao Ran.

Lan Chengyu took a sip of tea and said, "According to the guidance of the mentor, my physical fitness and true qi value have improved a lot, and I have encountered a thousand-year-old tree in the Wuliang Mountain......

Lan Chengyu said about the adventure between Wuliang Mountain and Tree Spirit Yuanqing, and Dao Ran was not surprised after hearing it, but just smiled faintly.

"You really have a pair of natural discerning eyes, and the barrier of the tree spirit is not visible to mortals and those who are shallower. Dao Ran smiled.

"Eye-catching!Can't mortals see it?" Lan Chengyu remembered that Yuan Qing seemed to have mentioned that his barrier was used to protect himself and the treasure land.

"Of course, you have a pair of discerning eyes for extraordinary things, and this is also where your immortal fate lies. Dao Ran said.

Lan Chengyu took a sip of tea and remembered the dream-like experience in Yunshan ten years ago, the memory was a little blurry for too long, if according to what the mentor said, did he really see the divine bird Phoenix!

"Now let Yu Pei report on the progress of your selection mission. Dao Ran looked at Lan Chengyu and said.

Lan Chengyu took out the jade pendant. , showing a holographic projection in front of the two of them.

Selection Quest Progress:

1. Outstanding deposit amount !! million deposits: RMB 58,245.50;

2. True Qi condensation is not completed!! the current true qi value is 129, you can try to condense true qi;

3. The physical fitness value is not up to standard!!

Physical Fitness Score: Strength: 55, Speed: 40, Coordination: 40, Agility 40, Endurance 50, Overall Score: 225.

Time remaining to complete the mission: 101 days, 10 hours, 50 minutes, and 27 seconds

"The True Qi value has reached 129, and it seems that the tree spirit will help you a lot. From today onwards, you can practice the breathing exercises every day, and you can condense your true qi according to the qi gathering mantra in the last volume, and you can take the blue qi gathering pill when necessary. Dao Ran said.

"Okay, remember what the teacher taught. Lan Chengyu said.

"It seems that in two months, your True Qi Condensation and Physical Fitness tasks will be completed, and it shouldn't be a problem to leave a month for you to earn a million. Dao Ran smiled.

Lan Chengyu frowned slightly, where to earn a million in a month!

"You don't have to worry, there will be a way for you to make money when the time comes. Dao Ran saw Lan Chengyu's worries at a glance, "But the Taiyi swordsmanship must be practiced well, and this is a set of gossip demon swordsmanship, some people are anxious to try your spirituality and comprehension of swordsmanship, you have to practice this set of swordsmanship well." ”

This time, Dao Ran took out an old yellowed sword book from his arms, with a parchment-like texture. It's strange why not directly transfer it to the jade card system this time?

Lan Chengyu took the sword book with both hands, and on the cover it was written "Bagua Demon Swordsmanship", which was not a printed copy, but a handwritten large letter.

"Mentor, I can take the liberty of asking, who is this mysterious person you are talking about, why did you want me to participate in the cultivator competition and pass on my swordsmanship. Lan Chengyu asked.

"Don't worry, it's not convenient to tell you at this time, he will come to see you when the time comes. Dao Ran pretended to smile mysteriously.
