Time passed in a blink of an eye, and when the sun tore through the morning fog and dispersed the heat towards Lingyan Mountain, Li Ding opened his eyes with joy. After another sleepless night, he finally felt something strange in his meridians for the first time through his own efforts.

It was a strange vibration mixed with the pulse beating, seemingly absent and unpredictable. This is the trace of activating vitality, as Li Ding continued to explore and explore, he gradually distinguished the strange vibration from the beating of the pulse, and with this discovery, Li Ding has already touched the first step of cultivation.

When the strange vibration became more and more obvious under his mental perception, Li Ding was finally able to let it move through the main meridians in his body with the Mu Qi Jue. And when he did this, Li Ding also noticed the existence of the Yuan Spirit in the external aura for the first time. Although it was very faint, those small elves floating in the air and invisible to the naked eye were finally captured by Li Ding.

That feeling is very subtle, when the vitality in the body begins to oscillate slightly through the catalysis of the exercises, the mind can sense that there are little by little things oscillating around at the same frequency, and when the frequency of the oscillation reaches a certain point, these little things will enter the body with specific acupuncture points, and then converge into the dantian along the specific meridians, dissolving into the weak cyclone in the dantian.

This seemingly simple process took Li Ding three days to calculate the initial mastery, and wanting to introduce a little bit of wood surname Lingyuan into the body is not only physically exhausting, but also a kind of mental torture. When Li Ding successfully condensed the first trace of Yuan Qi and dissolved into the cyclone, he had almost collapsed. But the most important thing is to find that feeling, with the first success, things will go much smoother in the future, and the hard work pays off, and gradually Li Ding has touched some doorways.

When he came out of the hut, Li Ding walked straight to the canteen at the bottom of the hillside, he hadn't eaten for three days, and he needed to replenish some energy at this time, otherwise he would not be able to bear the rest of his practice.

The cafeteria was unusually deserted, with only a few miscellaneous people inside, Li Ding asked for a bowl of noodles from the rice and sat down on the table on the side. Looking at the middle-aged people who were doing miscellaneous work, Li Ding suddenly sighed.

The cultivation was much more arduous than he imagined, no wonder Xiao Cui of Sea Cliff Town would say that she couldn't endure this hardship, and the process of gathering vitality was so difficult, so you can imagine how painful it would be to open up the meridians and improve the realm. These people in front of them should have come here with the heart of becoming a strong man, but the reality is so cruel, if it weren't for Li Ding accidentally entering that weird space, and making his inferior vitality into the best vitality, maybe the ending would not be much better than them.

Just thinking about it, a large bowl of noodles was delivered, and after Li Ding handed over a yuan coin to the passer, he solved it by dividing it by two, and after burping contentedly, he wanted to get up and continue to practice, when there was a burst of laughter outside the cafeteria.

"Uncle Xue, a few of us have already ordered the canteen to prepare meals, just waiting for you to come. I heard that Senior Uncle Xue is about to condense into a Yuan Dan, it seems that breaking through the Imperial Spirit Realm is just around the corner!" A young man's voice came, and such a flattering tone couldn't help but make Li Ding frown.

"Hehe, how can it be so fast, according to the current progress, it will take at least a year or so, that is, there is no more suitable pill to assist, otherwise it can indeed be advanced for a while. Now these two grades of Qiyuan Dan and Tongyuan Dan are of no use to me, so I will give them to you. "Listen to this voice, it is that Xue Yun.

As soon as Xue Yun's words fell, some people's cheers immediately sounded. "Then thank you Uncle Xue. Someone said, and then Li Ding saw seven or eight teenagers of different ages walking in with Xue Yun in their arms, looking at Xue Yun's appearance, there was a look of triumph on his delicate face. Seeing this, Li Ding shook his head lightly, and without greeting them, he prepared to walk out of the canteen from the side.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Li? Why do you want to leave as soon as you see us? As soon as Li Ding got up, Xue Yun saw him at a glance and said with a smile.

Huayang's acceptance of Li Ding as an apprentice was naturally known to the whole Jinguang Sect, and Li Ding had to stop and smile: "I'm already full, so I won't bother Senior Brother Xue here." ”

That Xue Yun was a flash, and the white shadow had already come to Li Ding in a flash, and said: "Senior Brother Li must see each other like this, there is indeed a little misunderstanding between us, but after all, the matter has passed, when I heard Sister Rong say that the master of Huatang accepted Senior Brother Li as a disciple, I still don't believe it, I don't want Senior Brother Li to really get his wish, speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you as a senior brother yet, this is a rare encounter, Senior Brother Li doesn't give this face?"

Here, the people behind Xue Yun are also talking about you and me.

"Yes, let's have a meal together, Uncle Li can worship under the main door of Huatang is really envious of us. Gao Jin, who was tall, said with a smile, but how did that smile make Li Ding feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, although Uncle Li is a wood surname Yuanqi, but the Huatang master is a five-grade alchemist, although his cultivation is mainly based on the fire surname Yuanqi, but his attainments in the wood surname Yuanqi have also been decades, which must be of great help to Uncle Li. Another teenager said.

"Not to mention anything else, the supply of pills during cultivation should be more convenient than ours, and we will have to take care of Uncle Li in the future." Another person answered.

Listening to the shouts of these people who were younger than him, Li Ding felt that these guys must be used to slapping on the back, and what they said casually was something that made people feel comfortable. But Li Ding is not a person who is easily fooled, he knows in his heart that this Xue Yun is not a good type, from the fact that he dares to make a move on Yu Lao, it is not difficult to see that this guy's heart is very small, and there is more than a little misunderstanding between himself and Gong Xue Yun.

Xue Yun had wanted to kill Li Ding before, and Xue Yun's enthusiastic attitude at this time was not normal at all, but in this case, Li Ding was really hard to shirk, so he said: "Since Senior Brother Xue has said such things, then sit down." ”

Seeing Li Ding agree, Xue Yun seemed very happy, and beckoned Li Ding to sit at a large table. Immediately, the two fellow disciples who came with Xue Yun entered the canteen kitchen and brought out one dish after another, it seemed that just as Li Ding heard just now, these people had already prepared.

"This is ......" Seeing this exquisite dish, Li Ding couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't know that the canteen here could make such beautiful dishes. Now that he has sat down, he doesn't care so much, picks up the chopsticks and prepares to do it. Xue Yun next to him suddenly said: "Senior Brother Li doesn't know yet, in fact, today is my birthday, that's why these fellow disciples will prepare so many dishes for me, if you don't dislike it, how about you and I have a drink first?"

"Isn't it forbidden to drink alcohol inside the door, and I won't drink either. Li Ding said that one of the rules of the Jinguang Gate is that disciples are not allowed to drink alcohol in the door. Xue Yun smiled and said, "I didn't say drinking, we use tea instead of wine." After speaking, he sent a teacup handed over by the same door to Li Ding.

Li Ding took the teacup, hesitated for a moment and said, "Since today is Senior Brother Xue's birthday, then I wish Senior Brother a happy birthday." After speaking, he was ready to bring the tea in his hand to his mouth.

"Don't drink if you don't want to die. Suddenly, the immature voice that had not spoken for a long time spoke, and Li Ding's hand that had just been raised couldn't help but stop in mid-air.

Seeing Li Ding's actions, Xue Yun's originally smiling face couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to Li Ding: "Does Senior Brother Li really look down on me as a senior brother?"

Li Ding put down the teacup and chuckled, and said, "No, I just ate noodles just now, and I don't want to drink tea for the time being, and this tea is still a little hot, I want to wait for it to cool down before drinking it." ”

Hearing Li Ding say this, Xue Yun's smile froze instantly, but he immediately recovered: "Then we eat vegetables, this herring, and this young chicken are bought by Master Liu's nephew with money from the people in the canteen from the farmers at the bottom of the mountain, and they usually can't eat it." After speaking, under the gaze of a colleague who was smiling from ear to ear, he gave a large piece of braised herring to the bowl in front of Li Ding.

Li Ding has eaten a lot, but Li Ding has never eaten this kind of fish Li Ding, looking at the fish pieces set off by the red sauce, and then smelling the fragrant fragrance, Li Ding really wanted to take a big bite, but the constant muttering sound in his head made Li Ding dare not put down the chopsticks.

"Eat, it's not a big deal, it's just a little poisonous, the smell is a little familiar, but I really can't guess what it is if you don't eat two bites......" The immature voice kept saying with a playful tone, Li Ding couldn't help frowning when he looked at the fish pieces.

Looking at Li Ding's appearance, Xue Yun's face slowly became gloomy, his smile was also a little deformed, and his eyes were full of doubts and said to Li Ding: "Senior Brother Li really doesn't give face, I also salute this tea and sandwich the dishes, if you look down on me Xue Yun can just say it, don't take my kindness as a matter for a while." ”

Hearing Xue Yun's words, Li Ding directly scolded him several times in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, and he said: "Of course the dish has to be eaten, but I said it, this noodle has just been eaten, so why wait for it to digest it." ”

Hearing this, Xue Yun's face was completely gloomy. Today is indeed his birth, and this meal was actually ordered at his own expense, that is, he wanted to show off in front of his classmates, so that this group of teachers and nephews would respect him even more. And meeting Li Ding was a complete accident, and it was also a temporary idea to rectify Li Ding, but I didn't expect this Li Ding to live or die. This table of meals was a waste, and it obviously made him lose face in front of so many people, Xue Yun naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Slap", Xue Yun slapped his palm on the table, stared at Li Ding with an angry face, and said: "Today, you have to drink this tea if you don't drink it, and you have to eat this dish if you don't eat it." While speaking, the other people at the same table also stood up and looked at Li Ding with some playfulness.

Li Ding didn't expect Xue Yun to turn his face when he said it, and his heart was also angry, and he raised his eyebrows and wanted to expose Xue Yun's poisoning in the dish, but before he could speak, a light and coquettish laugh came from outside the door.
