Time flies, spring goes to autumn.

For ordinary people, three years is enough time for a young man who has just entered society to become mature, enough to make a young girl become much more charming, and enough for a newborn baby to grow up to be able to run and jump around and scribble, and do all kinds of things that make the family happy, worried, distressed, and even crying and laughing.

But for the astic, three years does not bring about any significant change.

For example, the clay that came to visit Wu Xie not long ago, he did not enter the Tao three years ago, and he still did not enter the Tao three years later, but his breath was thicker.

Of course, there are also significant changes, for example, when Luo Yu came to visit him last time, he almost scared him.

She replaced the gorgeous palace dress with a green shirt, there were no ornaments on her head, she carried a small cloth bag, carried a very simple sword, and led the dyed gray hair Ryoma, no matter how she looked, she looked like a little woman from a third-rate sect, and she couldn't see the smell of a monk.

But in fact, she has been in the Tao for almost two years.

After three years of cultivation in Xianshan, she washed away the lead flower, restored her free and easy face, and had a more free and easy charm in her actions.

In An Ziqing's words, "I finally have a little bit like a person".

Among the fellow disciples, An Ziqing was the first to come to visit Wu Xie - or rather, he came to Wu Xie to show off his success in entering the Dao, and by the way, announced that he would definitely surpass Wu Xie on the road of cultivation in the future.

This man didn't know what it meant to be low-key, and he actually rode a flying horse over, and the children of the whole town came to watch the fun—he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but triumphant.

In contrast, Yi Yi is very low-key and simple. It wasn't until he came to the door that Wu Xie found out that this down-and-out poor scholar turned out to be his own junior brother.

The dignified master was dressed in a patched and shabby robe, and not even a small piece of silver could be found in the money bag...... Yi Yi walked through the city and the countryside with such an image of a poor ghost who was too lazy to rob robbers, practicing the motto of "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles".

In the past three years, a total of six of the 27th generation disciples of Qingyangguan have entered the Tao. In addition to the four qi refiners of Wu Jie, An Ziqing, Luo Yu and Yi Yi, there are also two martial cultivators, Xie Minghuan and Yan Feng.

Xie Minghuan was originally a figure who had already stepped into the martial arts with half a foot, and after getting the superior exercises, he concentrated on studying for a period of time, and then he touched the bypass, comprehended the essence of martial arts, broke through the bottleneck and stepped into the innate realm, purely in terms of force, he is not necessarily inferior to Wu Jie.

Feng is an amnesiac Hercules, born with knee-length arms, his character is extremely brave, and he has an indomitable momentum in battle, like a mad tiger, even Xie Minghuan can't directly hit his edge.

The effect of his cultivation at first was not significant, but when Li Goudan returned to the mountain last year, he saw that he was practicing hard, so he instructed him to go to the periphery of the mountain protection array to cultivate, and tap his potential by resisting the power of the great array, in order to gain some understanding. Yan Feng practiced the periphery of the big array for three months, and was covered in bruises more than once, and finally succeeded in seizing the inspiration that flashed through his heart at the critical moment and broke through to the innate realm.

In just three years, six of the fourteen beginner disciples have entered the Dao, and this achievement has made the elders in the sect very satisfied, and Wu Xie is also quite proud.

Though...... Jasmine looked very disdainful about this, pouted and said, "If you want to put it in our year, if you can't enter the Dao within a year, all of them will be fed to the spirit beasts!" ”

"According to this standard, there are only four of our twenty-seven generations of disciples left: me, An Ziqing, Luo Yu and Xie Minghuan. Is that still a generation of disciples? Wu Xie asked angrily.

"Who told you that your foundation is too small! Back then, when our sect accepted disciples, it was tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people were screened! ”

"As a result, the vast majority of them died—don't you think it's a waste even if you don't think about the problem of harming heaven and reason?" Wu Xie sighed, "Those who can come to you to seek immortals must have good qualifications, I guess every one of them may be at the same level as the third child." As long as they are given enough time and resources, each of them will be able to cultivate successfully......

"Who has the patience to wait! The immortal path is slim, and those who don't have great qualifications, great luck, and great perseverance, even if they enter the Tao, what's the use? After cultivating for hundreds of years, and finally stopping at the golden pill and dying of old age, isn't it a waste of the sect's resources! ”

"Jasmine, you'd better understand one thing: now it's your master and I'm cultivating and seeking immortals, if my sect does the same, then I myself will probably die in the inhumane screening!" After getting along with each other over the years, Wu Xie gradually understood Jasmine's way of thinking about the problem and found a suitable persuasion method, "Do you still think the original method was good?" ”

"Not good! Not good at all! Jasmine shook her head like a rattle.

So the topic was stopped, and Wu Xie refuted the fallacies of the ancient heretical sect through a convincing exposition and maintained the honor of the sect.

The same sect is constantly improving, and Wu Xie naturally did not set foot in the same place.

In fact, he is the one who has improved the most.

In the past three years in Sichen Town, he continued to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to transform the internal force, continuously transforming the internal force into true qi, and then infiltrating and transforming the meridians with the true qi, while slowly refining and strengthening the body, so that he could be reborn and become more suitable for cultivation.

This is a long process, little by little, it is all water grinding work, and if you don't have enough resources and excellent qualifications, it may even take decades - among the two young immortals of the Dragon Sect that Wu Xie encountered at the beginning, the one who "laid the foundation of the Dao with a hundred refining of true qi" probably just completed this step.

It is precisely because this process is so long that the practitioners call it "Hundred Refinements".

hundred, extremely much; Lian, which describes the content of a specific cultivation.

Wu Xie is not the incarnation of a heavenly god and a mortal beast, his qualifications can only be regarded as relatively good, if he cultivates under normal circumstances, this step may take twenty or thirty years or even longer. Fortunately, the Lingxiao Fire Sect Fa he cultivated was indeed miraculous and abnormal, and he actually had the means to use divine fire to burn the meridians!

This technique is very similar to Wu Jie's original practice of burning through the acupuncture points with pure yang true fire under the guidance of Jasmine, but the technique is very different.

Jasmine doesn't really know how to cultivate, and the practice of burning acupoints with real fire is basically out of assumption, and the reason why she dares to do this is because she has the backing of the Heavenly Book World Realm, and even if the problem is burned, it can be treated in time - to put it bluntly, Wu Xie is just using herself as a test under her unreliable guidance.

But the techniques in the Lingxiao Fire Department Fa are completely different, it has been studied and practiced by the Heavenly Fighting Gods for a long time, every step and every link has been repeatedly scrutinized and modified, and there is a whole set of detailed methods to ensure safety and effectiveness - the Fighting Gods are obviously not as reckless as the Supreme Divine Monarch, and the exercises emphasize more than once that "even so, you must be very cautious" and the like, which makes Wu Xie feel that these seniors are too verbose At the same time, they also vaguely feel a little warm.

Even if he couldn't see them in person, he could feel through these words the concern of the seniors who founded the exercises for the younger generations.

In the past three years, he has used divine fire to calcine his meridians and flesh little by little according to the exercises, although he has suffered a lot of flesh and skin, but these pains are completely worth it - in just three years, he has finished refining most of the meridians and acupoints, leaving only the three places of the eyebrows and heart ancestral acupoints, the heart and soul points and the dantian qi sea.

These three places are the most important acupuncture points in the human body, and they are very important to the cultivators, and they usually try their best to protect them for fear of being damaged in the slightest. To start a fever on them, Wu Xie was really a little hairy.

But...... No matter how much you delay, you still have to do what needs to be done.

He had already calcined all the other meridians, allowing his meridian strength and true qi flow to have made a qualitative leap. As for the calcination of flesh and bones, it has also been completed, and it is only the last three places.

Choosing a hot summer day with a clear sky, he told Almond and Xiao Chai to help him protect the Fa, and arranged a simple set of protective formations, and then began the vital cultivation.

He sat in the formation, kept his mind and calmed down, and silently carried the divine fire.

I saw a golden-red flame rising from all around him, enveloping his body in an instant, as if turning him into a humanoid torch.

Then, the flames slowly gathered, and the light became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a dazzling golden light, floating motionless in front of him.

Wu Xie gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and urged this divine fire that had been condensed to the extreme to rush into the dantian qi sea.

As soon as the divine fire entered the dantian, he felt the tragic burning in his lower abdomen, and he wanted to scream in pain, but he had to hold back, but instead he wanted to use the force aroused by this severe pain to compress the divine fire as far as possible into the depths of the dantian, burning the most fundamental and subtle points.

For a while, he only felt that there seemed to be thousands of knives stirring in his stomach, and he was so painful that he couldn't pass out, but he still had to manipulate the flames to burn as thoroughly as possible, as if he was holding the knives and stirring them into his stomach!

The pain is really indescribable!

Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, almost soaking him wet, but every time his true qi turned, his body temperature would suddenly rise, and all the sweat would be evaporated—and then soon it would be soaked again.

After a few burns, a faint hoarfrost had condensed on his eyebrows and hair, and white marks could be seen in many places on his body.

This is the condensation of the salt in sweat after repeated evaporation.

I don't know how long it took for Lu Dao, Wu Xie finally manipulated the divine fire to burn all the dantian inside and out, and then carefully collected the gong, only then did he scream, and he fell to the sky.

It took him a quarter of an hour to regain some strength and barely get up.

"It hurts so much! It's masochism! He couldn't help but complain, "No wonder I repeatedly told 'it hurts, be careful, be mentally prepared, and don't be reckless...... It's not the same level as burning other places! ”

"Of course, didn't you say this exercise, other acupoints, meridians, bones, and flesh can be slowly burned in batches from shallow to deep, only the three major acupoints must be burned all at once - the effect of this time is worth several times, and the pain will of course be worth several times." Du Ruo comforted him and said, "Don't worry, there are only two more left." ”

Wu Xie sighed, only to feel that his life in the next few days would be a miserable and inhumane darkness!

What's worse is that he could have escaped this darkness, but he had to go in by himself......
