Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and if you perform too well, you may attract the peep of some scheming villains. But blessings and misfortunes lie in ambush, and things will never be as simple as they seem. When you are beaten like the bottom of your life, the greatest turning point of fate awaits you there.

"Senior Brother Su, what happened to the Fire Spirit Gate?" I asked depressedly.

"Senior Brother Zhuo, you just received a notice when you were out. The Qilin Mountain Range's annual sect competition was scheduled to be held at the Sixteen Peaks in the afternoon seven days later, so now the entire Fire Spirit Sect was nervously preparing for the competition!" Su Wenhai said.

"I see. I said thoughtfully.

"Originally, you should have broadened your horizons and increased your knowledge this time, but the rules of the competition are that you must have a strength above the first level of soul fixing to be eligible to participate, you ...... now" Su Wenhai said embarrassedly.

"Senior Brother Su, I have just broken through to the Soul Rejuvenation Period. Isn't there still seven days left until the competition, and I believe that as long as I work hard to cultivate, I should be able to break through to the first level of soul concentration before the competition!" I said confidently.

"From the Soul Rejuvenation Period to the First Order of Soul Concentration, this is a hurdle, not as simple as you think. But it's a good thing to have confidence, and I also hope that you can participate in this competition, so you can work hard!" Su Wenhai patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I will. I said with a smile.

In this way, I locked myself in my room for the next five days to concentrate on cultivation, but the little sister Shen Qianmeng and the eldest lady Xia Ling said that they would also practice with me, and I really couldn't do anything about the two of them.

"Big brother, it's time for lunch!" said Shen Qianmeng as she walked up to me with a fragrant meal.

"Got it. "I opened my eyes and stood up to get ready to eat.

"Why don't you have mine!" Xia Ling said angrily when she saw that there was only a meal for two people on the table.

"If you have hands and feet, you won't burn it yourself!" Shen Qianmeng said angrily.

"You ......" Xia Ling angrily pointed at Shen Qianmeng.

"Big brother, leave her alone!let's eat!" Shen Qianmeng turned around and said to me with a smile.

But...... "How can I eat in this embarrassing scene?"

"I'll let Dad kick you out!" Xia Ling yelled angrily.

"Big brother, she bullied me!woo~" Shen Qianmeng pulled the corner of my clothes and cried.

"Xia Ling!" I yelled.

"You actually yelled at me!woo~" Xia Ling also sat on the seat and cried.

"Okay, I'll give you my one. I said helplessly.

"Hmph!" Xia Ling turned her head angrily.

"Akane, you ...... too," I said, turning around.

"Hmph!" Shen Qianmeng also turned her head angrily.

"Alright, you two are slowly getting angry here!" I turned and walked out of the room.

I walked out into the yard to get a breath of fresh air, and I had almost stuffed myself in my room for the past few days. As soon as I turned my head, I saw the second senior brother and the two Fire Spirit Sect disciples sneaking over from the direction of the backyard.

"Second senior brother, you are ......" I wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't have a bird, so I walked away.

"There's a problem!" I sneaked up behind them.

I followed them all the way to a tree in the corner of the back garden, where they stopped, and I took refuge behind a tree not far from them.

"Did you get the things?" the second senior brother asked anxiously.

"Got it!" a disciple handed a blue cloth bag to the second senior brother.

The second senior brother cautiously opened the cloth bag, but when he saw the contents of the cloth bag, he showed a shocked expression, and almost threw the things in his hand out.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" the disciple asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......," the second senior brother carefully wrapped up the cloth bag again.

"Then what are we going to do next?" the two disciples asked.

"You bury this thing under this tree, remember to bury it deeper!" After the second senior brother finished speaking, he left by himself, and the two disciples began to dig a pit under the tree to prepare to bury the thing.

The two disciples left in a hurry after burying their things, and I dug up what they had buried again, driven by curiosity. I carefully opened the cloth bag and found that it was a blue-skinned thread-bound book with the words "quenching and deciding" written on it.

"What is this?" I muttered to myself.

"Forget it, I'll take it back and study it!" I wrapped up my things and ran back to my room.

When I returned to the room, I found Shen Qianmeng and Xia Ling talking happily, they were still arguing just now, and now it's so good, is there any agreement reached. Anyway, women are very strange creatures, let alone girls, and I don't have the heart to mess with the two of them.

"You're reconciled!" I said with a smile.

"Big brother (Zhuo Shengtian), you're back!" the two of them ran over happily when they saw me.

"Big brother, you've been out for so long, I thought you were angry with me!" Shen Qianmeng said aggrievedly.

"How could I be mad at you, as long as you don't quarrel, I'll be happy!" I said with a smile.

"Sister Qianmeng and I will never quarrel again in the future!" Xia Ling pulled Shen Qianmeng and said with a smile.

"That's good!" I looked at them as if they were reconciled on the surface, but I had a strange feeling inside. To paraphrase a phrase often said by Detective Di Renjie, "I always have a faint uneasiness in my heart." I don't know if it's because of the two of them or something else......

The day after tomorrow was the start of the competition, and I suddenly had an invisible sense of urgency. I patted my chest in front of my senior brother and said that I could break through before the competition, so I decided to practice all night today.

Not long after dinner, Shen Qianmeng and Xia Ling yawned and went back to their rooms to rest. I came to the courtyard alone, but fortunately there was a bright moon that kept the courtyard from getting too dark. I sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate, and in a moment countless fire energy gathered above my head into a huge vortex. I felt like I had hit a bottleneck, and now I was like a tank full of water, and it was extremely difficult to pour even a drop of water into it.

"Young man, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" a voice came to my ears.

"It's you, old man, why don't you sleep late?" I opened my eyes only to find the person who was talking, old man, who was now standing next to me and looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Why are you still cultivating when it's late!" said the old man.

"The day after tomorrow is going to be a competition, and I promised Senior Brother Su to break through to the first level of soul concentration before the competition. I said with a bitter face.

"Then you'll have to work hard!" said the eldest man with a smile.

"But I feel like I've hit a bottleneck, and it's very hard to absorb a little fire energy!" I said depressedly.

"When people get old, their bodies are not good. This nose is always out of breath, and he can only breathe in but can't exhale outside, and the feeling of holding it inside is really uncomfortable!" The old man said to himself and left.

"You can only inhale, not exhale...... By the way, I see!" I finally understood the truth, and I began to expel the fire energy that was not very pure in my body from my body, and then absorbed the purer energy in the air.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and when the sky was about to dawn, I felt that the fire energy in my body had reached a zero threshold. A black layer of gas appeared around my body, and a circle of scorching fire energy spread out around me. All the flowers, trees, and stone buildings swept away by the "ring of fire" were all reduced to ashes, and the whole yard was in shambles.

With a roar of rage, a huge pillar of flame shot into the sky, and the intense energy compared to the rising sun. I suddenly felt that the energy in my body was suddenly gone, and I felt that my whole body was a little light.

"Master, congratulations on breaking through to the first level of soul concentration!" came Na Lanlin's voice from her pocket.

"It's a great feeling!" I said with a laugh.

Things you wouldn't have predicted are happening all the time, and I haven't recovered from the joy of the breakthrough until the next moment I have something I didn't expect to happen, and it almost made me unable to compete......
