"Wow......"

Early in the morning, the rooster in the yard puffed up his chest and let out a loud crow. The closer they got, the louder their cries became, and they weren't screaming, they were screaming.

Ying Chengfeng opened his eyes, and he jumped up from the bed.

Stretching out his arms, he did a chest expansion exercise that was absolutely rare in this world, and his face inexplicably showed a hint of triumph.

Yesterday, he successfully raised his True Qi to the third layer. However, he did not mention this happy event to anyone, but still quietly returned home.

The improvement of true qi is a great thing, but he doesn't plan to make a big deal about it, but he has no intention of hiding it, maybe when his parents persuade him again, he will say it to dispel the concerns of the two elders.

After a hurried breakfast, he left the house and walked again towards the stream outside the village.

The spirit pattern on the armor has already been inscribed, even the spirit pattern break point has been smoothed out by more than half, and he will be able to complete it completely in a few days at most.

He already had a feeling of almost infatuation with the spirit pattern and the spirit infusion, so he couldn't wait to see what kind of miracle would be produced when this set of armor was successfully instilled.

"Senior Brother Chengfeng, are you going up the mountain again?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

Ying Chengfeng turned his head, and a young man slightly older than him looked at him with a smile. This young man was seventeen or eighteen years old, and although he called his senior brother in his mouth, there was a trace of undisguised mockery in his eyes.

frowned slightly, of course Ying Chengfeng knew this person.

Gu Liao, who had just practiced martial arts under his uncle Yinglide the year before last, not only successfully condensed his true qi in just two years, but also promoted to the second level in one fell swoop. There is a world of difference from him who has been cultivating for five years, but still hovering at the true qi layer.

It's just that, like most of his peers, he has a lot of contempt for Ying Chengfeng. It's just that because of the relationship between Yinglid and his uncle and nephew, he never dared to bully him.

"Senior Brother Gu, is there anything wrong with you? Ying Chengfeng asked in a deep voice.

Gu Liao was slightly stunned, he faintly felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little different from before.

If it was before, Ying Chengfeng, who didn't look at him, would not have paid attention to him at all, but now his bearing and tone have undergone subtle changes, as if he really put on a stand as a senior brother.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Gu Liao secretly said in his heart, obviously he has no strength, but he still has to put on a senior brother's shelf, he really doesn't know how to lift. However, what came out of his mouth was to say: "Senior Brother Chengfeng, today is the day of the skill competition every three months as stipulated by the master, don't you want to go and see it?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ying Chengfeng's eyes, and he suddenly understood Gu Liao's intention.

If it were in the past, whenever he encountered the day of the March competition, it was the most difficult day for Ying Chengfeng, because he was always at the level of true qi, and when he saw the performance of everyone who was originally at the same level as him, but gradually improved and left him far away, his heart was naturally ashamed and jealous.

So, he hasn't participated in such a competition for nearly a year.

But now......

There was a hint of a smile on his face, and he said, "Thank you Senior Brother Gu for reminding me, it turns out that today is the day of the competition, and I really forgot it." ”

Gu Liao was stunned for a moment, his heart was amazed, if he mentioned this topic in front of Ying Chengfeng in the past, he would definitely leave without saying a word.

Such an action can make Gu Liao's heart get great satisfaction.

Even if it is the master's own nephew, it is not necessary to bow his head and escape in front of him.

But today's performance is very different from the past, not only disappointed his expectations, but also faintly held back a breath of anger that was difficult to vent.

Of course, even if Gu Liao's courage is ten times greater, he will not dare to make a move against Ying Chengfeng.

With a roll of his eyes, he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chengfeng, you haven't participated in it several times, Master and the four brothers miss you very much, why don't you go and see it today." ”

Ying Chengfeng pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It's okay, in order not to disappoint everyone, I'll go and have a look." ”

Gu Liao's heart was overjoyed, and he secretly said to himself, since you are willing to participate, it would be great. Hmph, in the arena, I must let you know who the real senior brother is.

Ying turned around in the wind and entered a large courtyard with Gu Liao.

There are more than 100 households in Three Gorges Village, although it is not as prosperous as Panlong Town, but it is also one of the few large villages around. However, the most noble in the village is undoubtedly the Ying family.

In particular, Ying Lide, as an introductory disciple of the Instrument Dao Sect, is even more prestigious, and it is naturally not surprising that he can occupy the largest courtyard in the village.

When Ying Chengfeng came to the courtyard, there were already more than a dozen people gathered here.

At the moment when they saw Ying Chengfeng and Gu Liao entering at the same time, almost everyone blinked subconsciously, and they all had some doubts about whether they were dazzled.

Ying Chengfeng, who had not appeared on the day of the competition for nearly a year, actually came to this courtyard again.

They exchanged glances, each with a different look in their eyes, but most of them inevitably had a hint of mockery.

After seeing these eyes, Ying Chengfeng's heart sighed secretly.

The original owner of this body did fail in the first ten years of his life.

Among these more than ten people, the three young people at the front are undoubtedly the most dazzling. They stood in the crowd, whether it was their behavior or their demeanor, they were obviously much higher, and they even gave people a sense of arrogance that stood out from the crowd.

The others were also careful to keep a certain distance from them, and the eyes that looked at them were also flattering.

Ying Haitao, Ying Haikang, Zhang Chunxiao.

Yinglide's two sons and the most proud third disciple, the three of them have monopolized the top three in each competition since they started.

Every three months, they can be given a low-grade health pill.

Although it is only a low-grade health pill, for them, taking it at a critical moment can also play a huge auxiliary role. Therefore, the gap between them and the rest of the disciples continued to widen, and now they stood in front of everyone like three towering mountains, making it impossible for them to climb.

Everyone looked at Ying Chengfeng, and then looked at Ying Haitao's brothers, all of them were secretly saying in their hearts.

The three of them are cousins, but two of them are so good, and the last one is a big one. It's really touching that the gap is so large.

Ying Haitao and Ying Haikang glanced at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

They don't have any malicious intent towards this cousin, although Ying Chengfeng's performance is indeed quite embarrassing, but the blood relationship of relatives is here, and no one will easily ignore it.

But in their hearts, there was still an inevitable thought, that is, Ying Chengfeng might have given up cultivation.

Coughing lightly, Ying Haitao said, "Ride the wind, come here." ”

"Yes. Ying Chengfeng responded and walked in front of Ying Haitao.

Gu Liao and the others all looked at the past with envy and jealousy, Ying Haitao was their idol in their hearts, and he was also the person they hoped to surpass the most. Although they all know that Ying Haitao is because of his relatives, so he looks at Ying Chengfeng differently, but he is still a little indignant in his heart.

Why is this waste his relative, and not himself?

"Chengfeng, how is your cultivation these days?" asked Ying Haitao with a pleasant face.

In fact, everyone knows that Ying Chengfeng mostly stays in front of the abandoned blacksmith shop outside the village on weekdays. It was originally a place used by Ying Lide when he was young, and it was the private property of the Ying family, although there was no one to guard it, but the people in the village consciously did not approach.

In the Ying family, Ying Haitao and Ying Haikang brothers practice wholeheartedly, and naturally they will not be bored enough to be in a daze there. It is only by riding the wind and hiding there like an ostrich, as if this way you can avoid contact with the world.

Ying Chengfeng smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Big brother, little brother has been living a very fulfilling life these days, very good." ”

Ying Haitao was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.

This little brother has always been depressed and depressed, and at a young age, he gives people a feeling of dying old age, so they will unanimously think that he is no longer suitable for continuing to cultivate.

But now, it seems that he is once again full of fighting spirit and a vigorous upward atmosphere.

Although I don't know what caused his mentality to change, it was definitely a great joy.

Ying Haitao nodded, and was about to speak, but heard a familiar footstep sound.

Everyone's faces froze, and at the same time, they looked towards the door, and Yinglide walked in.

"Meet Master. ”

Everyone bent down and bowed at the same time, even the Ying Haitao brothers were worthy of the name of the master.

"Hmm. Yinglide nodded slightly, his face was joyful, and said, "No courtesy." ”

Everyone got up, Zhang Chunxiao's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly shouted, "Master, have you joined the Forging Hall?"

On Win Lead's shoulder, embroidered with the mark of an axe. Although it is dark and inconspicuous, in the eyes of those in the know, it is a supreme glory.

Ying Lide laughed loudly and said, "Yes, I successfully engraved the spirit pattern for my teacher, and I was recognized by Master Zhang Mingyun to pour the spirit, and finally cast a spirit sword, so I officially became a member of the foundry hall in the sect." ”

"Congratulations, Master. ”

For a while, everyone's congratulations rang out like a tide.

The Foundry Hall has a higher status within the Instrument Dao Sect, and since the master can join the Foundry Hall, everyone's status must be rising and having greater benefits.

Ying Lide nodded proudly, being able to join the Foundry Hall was one of his greatest wishes, and now that he could complete it, he was naturally overjoyed, and it was understandable that he was a little out of shape in front of these disciples.

After a moment, he waved his hand lightly, and everyone suddenly stopped.

Yinglide said proudly: "This time, I joined the Foundry Hall as a teacher and got a reward. His gaze swept over the faces of Ying Haitao, Ying Haikang and Zhang Chunxiao, and said, "This reward will be transferred to the top of this competition, you have to work harder." ”

ps: Today I went to sweep the graves of the elders in the family, and I came back at night to see the time, don't blame if the update is late!
