Chapter 53: Winter Hunting
At the end of the day, the moon had sunk in the west, and the Lingyan Mountain in late autumn was unusually cold, but Li Ding set off towards the main hall on time. On the path, there was an endless stream of disciples attending the morning class, and Li Ding blended into the crowd and walked towards the main hall with the flow of people.
In front of the main hall, I saw a girl in green clothes leaning on the right side of the door with an expressionless face, and when Li Ding's figure was found in the crowd, her face immediately showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but it was fleeting, replaced by a bright smiling face.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, are you practicing behind closed doors?" the girl smiled at Li Ding, "You people in the medicine hall are good, not only do you have priority in the supply of pills, but you can also do special things in this morning class?" The girl's light voice is pleasant and beautiful, making people feel comfortable listening to it.
However, Li Ding shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Senior Sister Ye is already in the Tongyuan Realm, and she is also a disciple of Elder Liu, so it stands to reason that she can not be used to participate in the morning class?"
The girl is Ye Lei, because she is two years younger than Li Ding, and she is a beginner at the same time, she naturally became a junior sister in front of Li Ding.
Hearing Li Ding's words, Ye Lei said: "Hehe, although I have this privilege, it's better to act according to the door rules, and besides, other fellow disciples are like this, and I'm not good at being special." ”
Li Ding had to smile bitterly, and without saying more, he followed the crowd into the main hall and found a corner and sat down cross-legged. Ye Lei immediately followed and sat next to Li Ding.
Regarding Ye Lei's practice of sticking to herself like this whenever she has the opportunity, Li Ding is really helpless. It stands to reason that there is such a charming and moving beautiful girl sticking to herself, which can be said to be a thing that is the envy of countless young people in the same class, but Li Ding always feels weird, because he can always see a trace of Ye Xinyi's shadow from Ye Lei.
For this blue light eldest sister, when he thought of the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Li Ding had an indescribable strange feeling, as if there was always some secret hidden behind those eyes, and this feeling made Li Ding very uncomfortable. Although he didn't hate Ye Lei, Li Ding had to deliberately keep a certain distance from him.
In the main hall, more than 100 people sat cross-legged in a neat manner. Sit quietly, relax your whole body, and carefully recall the exercises you have practiced in your heart, or sort out the troubles you encountered during the previous practice. There seems to be a mysterious power in the darkness that gives this seemingly unremarkable hall a magical power, and some problems that have not been solved for a long time may be solved in an instant.
Li Ding was familiar with the Wood Qi Technique again in his heart, feeling the cyclone within the dantian, Li Ding felt that it should be time to impact the meridians of the Advanced Tongyuan Realm.
"When ......"
Time passed little by little, and half an hour passed in a flash. With a melodious and crisp sound of bell chime, when Li Ding opened his eyes and was about to get up, he found that the Great Elder Qiu Zhengyi and the Second Elder Ye Lianhai had stood in front of the statue at some point.
"Listen, new disciples, this year's winter fishing is scheduled to be held on September 25, before that, you have to participate in the selection of the community under the sect, although the number of places to enter the inner enchantment for winter fishing is limited, and you are just getting started, but there are three newcomer places each time, as long as your strength is enough, you may still have the opportunity to participate in this winter fishing. Qiu Zhengyi said loudly.
Ye Lianhai stood aside quietly, his slender eyes on his feminine face glanced at everyone, but his eyes were fixed on Li Ding, because Ye Lei was standing tightly beside Li Ding at this time.
Seeing Ye Lianhai's fierce gaze, Li Ding subconsciously moved his body to the side, but he didn't want Ye Lei to come up again, and hugged his left arm. Such an intimate action made the people around him cast strange glances, and Li Ding trembled all over, but saw that Ye Lianhai only frowned slightly and then looked away.
"Hehe, what's wrong, aren't you afraid of my second grandfather when you look like you?" Holding Li Ding's arm, Ye Lei laughed quietly, with a bright smile that was pleasing to the eye. But Li Ding gritted his teeth and tried to break free of Ye Lei's hand.
Here, Qiu Zhengyi continued: "The selection of the club will be held on the afternoon of the 22nd, and all the disciples who have not yet joined the club will have to participate. I...... I hope that some people can grasp this opportunity and go back and prepare well, otherwise the time in Jinguangmen will only be a memory in your life. ”
After speaking, Qiu Zhengyi and Ye Lianhai left for leave. However, hearing this, Li Ding, who was about to pull his arm out of Ye Lei's hand, was momentarily stunned, and as Qiu Zhengyi's words fell, some whispers began to sound among the crowd, and some people who looked not young showed embarrassment on their faces.
"Every year before the winter fishing, there will be some people who leave Jinguangmen, I don't know who will leave this time. ”
"Three opportunities in three years, if the results of the cultivation are not even recognized by the community, let alone become an official disciple, once you lose the qualification to become an official disciple, it is useless to stay here. ”
"Yes, if you can't become a formal disciple, you won't have the opportunity to practice advanced exercises, even if you are forced to stay here, you can only be a handyman. ”
Listening to everyone's whispers, Li Ding's heart couldn't help but sink, but he remembered the words of Xu Wuzhou, the master of Tianwu Hall, when he was a teacher. I know that even if I become a formal disciple, if the realm stagnates within a few years, I will still be forced to roll up and leave.
"I don't know what you're thinking about, but my sister sincerely invites you to join Blu-ray!" Li Ding was thinking, Ye Lei said.
"I have to think about it again, I must know that I am a person of Shenhuo now, if I want to join other clubs, do I have to ask the head of Shenhuo first!" Li Ding suddenly broke free of Ye Lei's hand and ran out of the main hall with a smile.
"Divine fire?" Seeing Li Ding running away, Ye Lei was stunned, "The four major societies of the Golden Light Gate, Domineering, Blue Light, Black Rock, and Lightning, have you never heard of any divine fire?" However, it was only for a moment, Ye Lei's eyes lit up, and she said in a low voice: "No matter what, you can't escape the palm of my hand." ”
Back in the hut, Li Ding practiced for another hour. Feeling the faint vitality growing in his body, Li Ding couldn't help but shake his head, cultivation is indeed an extremely difficult thing, every bit of progress requires great effort, and because Li Ding needs to divert a part of the vitality to Xiao Dan in the heart, this process becomes more and more slow.
"Knock knock. The sudden knock on the door made Li Ding jump off the bed, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, Li Ding opened the door, and found that it was Lin Xiao's disciple Chen Yu.
"Who are you?" Looking at Chen Yu, Li Ding looked puzzled, and found that he was carrying a lunch box in his hand.
Chen Yu raised the lunch box and said with a hearty smile: "Don't be surprised, little uncle, this is my master's order, saying that it is a good meal for you, besides, little uncle, why don't you notify you when you are born, so I can celebrate for you." ”
Li Ding didn't expect Huayang to do such a thing, and he couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly said: "It's all over, not to mention that everyone has their own things, and I want to thank you for sending me food." ”
"Uncle Xiao is saying that, and I am not giving it away in vain, because when I prepared a meal for you, my master added five Tongyuan Dan to me, it should be that I thank Uncle Xiaoshi!"
Listening to Chen Yu, who was several years older than him, a little uncle's call, Li Ding didn't pretentiously, and led Chen Yu into the house to open the lunch box and eat. Although the meal was light, Li Ding didn't care anymore, and it was solved in three or two clicks.
Seeing that Li Ding finished eating, Chen Yu said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "It's about to be the time for winter fishing, I don't know if Uncle Xiao has any plans to enter the mountain?"
"Didn't you say you had to join a club first? Besides, there were so many people in each club, I didn't think I would have the opportunity to participate. Li Ding was puzzled for a moment and asked.
Thinking that Li Ding had only just started and should not know this, Chen Yu put down the lunch box and sat on the chair on the side and said, "Uncle Xiao doesn't know, although the winter fishing is based on the community, but our medicine hall has special rights. Because there are many herbs in the inner enchantment, there are also some spiritual objects that are rarely seen in the outside world, and these are all necessary for refining some high-grade pills. ”
Hearing this, Li Ding nodded, seeing that Li Ding listened carefully, Chen Yu was also interested, moved his body and said: "In fact, the main purpose of the winter fishing every year is to test the cultivation results of the disciples under the sect, because the level of the spirit beasts in the inner enchantment is much higher than that in the outer enchantment. Uncle Xiao should know that spirit beasts are divided into four levels: juvenile, mortal, spirit and demon, and there are many spirit beasts in the inner enchantment that have reached the peak of mortal bodies. ”
"Mortal Body Peak!" Li Ding was startled and said, "Isn't that dangerous?"
Looking at Li Ding's appearance, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Danger is inevitable, but there are not too many spirit beasts that have reached this level in the inner enchantment, and they generally only come out around special spirit objects, after all, those things are also attractive to spirit beasts." In addition, spirit beasts are divided into beasts and flying beasts, flying beasts are difficult to deal with, fortunately, there are mostly beasts in the enchantment, at least I haven't seen flying beasts a few times in it. ”
"Well, I've seen these in a book, but I don't know how powerful the spirit beast that reaches the demon body can be?" Li Ding asked with some curiosity after listening to Chen Yu's story.
This time, Chen Yu scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't know about this, but my master said that a spirit beast that reaches the demon body can incarnate into a Chengren form, presumably its strength is at least comparable to that of the powerhouse of the Xuankong Realm, right?"
This did not surprise Li Ding, because the spirit goose sleeping under the lava under the underground may be a spirit beast that has reached the demon body, otherwise with Xiao Dan's more than 10,000 years of cultivation, how could he not help it. However, Xiao Dan has never said what kind of strength it is, and Li Ding is not easy to make an accurate judgment, thinking of this, Li Ding also feels that he should ask it.
"There are still ten days of winter fishing about to start, you said that the medicine hall has privileges, can I really participate directly at that time?" Of course, Li Ding wanted to participate in this insightful activity, so he asked the most critical question at the moment.
Chen Yu replied: "The people of the four major clubs should be selected, because there are only twelve places in each club, and there are only three newcomer places among them, and the list of members of each team will be hung up on the notice board in the training ground when the time comes." Saying that, Chen Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle Xiao, naturally don't worry, you have also seen it, there are only a few people in the medicine hall, just go in directly." However, if you're joining a club, that's a different story. ”
"That's so?" Li Ding was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but remember that Hua Rong had said about the benefits of becoming a registered disciple of the Medicine Hall. At the beginning, Hua Rongke said that as long as he was in the medicine hall, even if he didn't make great progress in the realm, as long as he didn't take the initiative to leave, he could stay forever. At this time, when I heard Chen Yu's words, I couldn't help but say: "In this way, why should I join other clubs, I said that I have entered Huarong's divine fire, so be it." ”
Chen Yu naturally didn't know what Li Ding was thinking, and continued: "Uncle Xiao doesn't know, winter fishing has a lot of benefits, and every time we go in the medicine hall, we return with a full load. In fact, winter fishing is not only to test the results of your cultivation, if you can find one or two heavenly treasures that have absorbed the essence of the moon and nourished with spiritual energy, it will have immeasurable benefits for cultivation. ”
"And with such benefits, you can't miss it. Li Ding's eyes flashed, and his eyes were blazing.
"But these good things are not so easy to get, in addition to avoiding those spirit beasts, you have to start quickly, otherwise the good things will be discovered by other teams first, and it will be difficult to snatch them." ”
"Snatch?" Li Ding asked, confused.
"Yes, the various squads that enter the enchantment can snatch each other, so the people who participate in the winter capture will be selected, you must know that the higher and more average the realm of the team members, the greater the good will be. Chen Yu said.
In this regard, Li Ding's face suddenly darkened again, and said, "Then with my current realm, isn't it causing trouble for you to go in?"
Chen Yu smiled and said: "Didn't you say that our medicine hall has privileges, the teams of the four major societies can only be led by one senior uncle who has reached the Imperial Spirit Realm, but our medicine hall is led by my master and Uncle Qi, two Imperial Spirit Realm, we don't rob others and count them lucky." Besides, if the strength is really weak and you don't want to cause trouble for everyone, Uncle Xiao just needs to run away. ”
When Chen Yu said this, Li Ding's face couldn't help but be stunned, and he smiled bitterly, but it could be regarded as a relief. Although it is not a glorious thing to escape, if you involve others because of your low level, it is really unreasonable.
Next, after Li Ding said a few more words to Chen Yu, Chen Yu got up to say goodbye, but this conversation couldn't help but make Li Ding look forward to the upcoming winter fishing.
