Song Yi clenched his fists under the table, forcibly resisted not to show anything unusual, and continued to listen to Mo Qingning's explanation.

"The best thing about the Xuanhuang Feather Armor is that it can advance as the strength of the cultivator increases, from a simple defensive thing to a ......."

Speaking of this, Mo Qingning stopped and shook his head: "The classic records are incomplete, and they don't mention what the Xuanhuang Feather Armor will look like after the advancement. Speaking of which...... It's been almost ten years since I heard the news, and I wonder if this Wind Xuanhuang has awakened, and where will it be hidden?"

"This ......"

Song Yi hesitated, still didn't say anything, and shook his head.

Mo Qingning didn't know the thoughts in his heart, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the bright moon that had reached the zenith, and said leisurely: "Ancient things, there are not many that have been handed down to this day, and there are even fewer who can determine their authenticity. ”

"Senior Brother......

"Senior brother, your master is a descendant of the true spirit, a genius in heaven, and has his own detachment in cultivation, although we are mortals, we should not be arrogant, but we should do our best. ”

"Well, Senior Brother is right. ”

Hearing his words, Song Yi sighed with emotion, talent is such a thing, parents can't force it, but their own efforts can be controlled, and now that his soul has entered this body, he has solved the cultivation problems that have plagued him for several years, and he should be angry and strive to catch up.

“...... When the patriarch founded the Yuequan Sect here, although there is the legend of the wind Xuanhuang falling grass as the background, in fact, the main thing is to see the abundance and beauty of the mountains here, the aura is full, and the auspiciousness of the individual outstanding spirit is only, and I did not expect the Xuanhuang of the wind to suddenly appear and help the Yuequan Sect soar to the sky. Before the patriarch ascended to the immortal and left, one of the most important teachings left behind was that cultivation is important in perseverance, self-improvement and self-reliance, without pretense of hope for external things, without illusions, and without taking shortcuts and astray paths. ”

"I understand, brother. ”

Song Yi knew that Mo Qingning was talking about these words at the moment, which meant a lot of beating, after all, he had made too rapid progress during this time, and he needed to strengthen his mind and set his direction, and he must not get carried away and embark on a crooked path.

"So, when Senior Brother faced me off that day, he deliberately told Little Brother that he would not return, and he was also destroying my illusions, right?"

Mo Qingning nodded: "That's what it means." In the past five years, Yunzheng has protected you too well, although it is because you are slow to make progress and it is inconvenient to get ahead, but I am even more afraid that you will develop the habit of relying on him and will never be able to stand on your own. Now it seems that the future is full of changes, whether you can be protected by him for the rest of your life, this mentality is very dangerous. For a practitioner, if his mind is not upright, he will be in danger of dying at any time. ”

"Senior brother taught me right, and Song Yi was taught. ”

Song Yi now sincerely admires Mo Qingning, the image of this chief disciple in his mind has long since changed from the initial mystery and unwillingness, to today's cordiality and admiration, listening to his reasonable teachings, Song Yi is happy and convinced.

During this period of time, through contact with the Yuequan Sect, especially with Mo Qingning, Song Yi unconsciously established a relationship with the Yuequan Sect, as if this was really his home, and as a disciple, he had the responsibility to protect it.

Both the head and Mo Qingning said that a big change was coming, and the invasion of demonic breath was probably imminent. However, in what way and when they will attack, he never knows.

"I said a lot, let's take a break, this refreshment is made by my senior brother, you eat two more pieces. ”

"Hey, my brother still has this skill, it's really good, but it's a pity that my sister-in-law has no luck, isn't it ...... cheap for me?"

Taking a sip of tea, Song Yi raised his head and looked at the bright moon above his head with Mo Qingning, the night was deep, the light and shadow were lonely, but a dark cloud quietly floated in Song Yi's heart, and his breath was solemn, as if the mountain rain was coming.

......

While talking, the night became deeper and deeper, and the bright moon at the zenith slowly moved westward, Song Yi and Mo Qingning gossiped for a while, preparing to leave.

Mo Qingning sent him across the bamboo bridge on the Tianhe River, and Song Yi was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, I have another question I want to ask you." ”

"Say it. ”

“...... How can I confirm what level of cultivation I have reached?"

Yesterday in the clean room of the head of the house, the painting scroll that Song Yi saw clearly marked the cultivation level in the world: cultivators, monks, real people, true monarchs, quasi-immortals, and further up, it is the mysterious and distant realm of immortals.

The master said that the people in the quasi-immortal realm are very rare, either destroyed in the immortal tribulation, or ascended to the immortal, and the few remaining are basically secluded...... It's a bit difficult to determine, and Song Yi is very curious about it.

What is the current strength of yourself?

Is it to stay among the beginner cultivators, or have you advanced to the door of monks?

"This...... Mo Qingning smiled, "There are several ways, the most convenient is that you and I have another competition, if you can win, you will naturally be a monk." ”

"That is to say, if you compete with someone who has reached the corresponding realm, even if you win?"

"Yes, but the so-called realm is not a line, it is not that this line has been crossed, everyone is on the same side, and there are differences between high and low within the same realm, and sometimes the gap is quite large. Not to mention that there are thousands of cultivation methods, and each sect and each practitioner is also good at different aspects, and it is even more difficult to generalize about the so-called strength and weakness. There are countless people who are slightly inferior in hard power, but can defeat the strong with clever arrangements. ”

"That's ...... Senior brother, what is your position among the monks?"

"It's just so-so. ”

Mo Qingning smiled modestly, but Song Yi saw a confident look in his eyes, presumably even if he was not the top among the monks, he was definitely in the upper echelon, not far from the realm of real people.

In this way, isn't the little senior brother also ...... Song Yi's heart moved, and he secretly strengthened his determination to work harder.

"But don't think about it. Mo Qingning said again: "Even if you challenge me now, I won't accept it, there are many more important things now, and when they are all done, it's not too late." Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing, and I don't want to hurt you and lose your combat power for this. ”

What does this mean...... I can't beat him now?

Although the words were a bit harsh, they were not wrong, Song Yi really did not have the confidence to defeat Mo Qingning.

Song Yi smiled and asked, "What about the other methods?"

"There are two other ways, one is to ask an appraiser to find out for you. Mo Qingning said: "You should know that many sects, including our Yuequan Sect, will hire appraisers to check when they accept newcomers to get started, so as to facilitate the selection of children with outstanding talents to cultivate. ”

Song Yi nodded, of course he knew this, wasn't the original "self" rejected by the masters because of the mismatch between the body and the soul, and the talent was ridiculously poor, and it was not a piece of cultivation material at all?

As a result, I didn't expect that it was this mistake that I was fortunate enough to step into the door of Du Yilou, an extraordinary person.

"An excellent appraiser can not only see a person's roots and talents, but also know a thing or two about his cultivation realm. The more powerful the appraiser, the more accurate the cultivation realm will be, and some people with extremely high cultivation can be blinded by the prying eyes of ordinary appraisers. There are no appraisers in the Moon Spring Sect now, so if you have the opportunity to encounter them in the future, you can ask them to investigate for you. ”

"I see......"

Song Yi nodded, thinking of the old man he met outside the Fengyi Court that day, he had promised himself that he would invite a fairy eye to take a look.

Now there is another reason to visit the old man: first, to see his current talent, and second, to see his current cultivation realm.

"And the last way?" Song Yi then asked.

"Last method ......"

Mo Qingning paused, stroked the Chengying Evil Sword with his hand, showed a hint of nostalgia on his face, and said slowly: "The last way is to go to the capital and participate in the ring held by the Purple Qi Family." This triennial competition is specially for people who want to improve the realm to challenge, each realm has a ring, and each ring has a rich prize: treasures, exercise cheats, and gathering spirits...... The list goes on and on, so it's quite fascinating. As long as you can pass the ring smoothly, you can go to this realm and get prizes, and many people go directly to the prizes. ”

Who is this?

Song Yi had doubts in his heart, so he suppressed it for the time being.

“...... Senior Brother Guan seemed to be a little nostalgic, why, Senior Brother also participated in it back then?"

"It just so happened. Mo Qingning smiled: "When I went out to do my homework, I passed by the capital, and it happened that the ring was opened, I glanced at the monk's ring, and found that the prize was good, so I went to fight, and I got it back." ”

“...... And so on to the realm of monks?" Song Yi took over.

"Yes. ”

It turned out that Mo Qingning's Chengying was the evil sword.

"Hey, brother. An idea suddenly popped into Song Yi's mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "You said that Chengying but the evil sword is your wife, then you and your sister-in-law can be regarded as a martial arts competition." ”

"Recruiting relatives in martial arts?" Mo Qingning was stunned for a moment, but also laughed, nodded, and shook his head again: "You, where did you come from so many strange thoughts." Speaking of which, at the end of this year, the ring in the capital will be held again, if you can successfully pass the next calamity, I encourage you to try, and also promote the name of our Yuequan Sect. ”

"What ...... I"

Although he didn't know much about the specific situation of this ring, he heard that Mo Qingning had successfully won the prize, and Song Yi was still a little moved. He has seen the quality of the evil sword, and it is indeed a divine product, if he challenges it himself, he doesn't know what good things he will bump into.

"Okay, if you have the chance, I'll try it too, and I promise not to embarrass our Yuequan Sect. ”

"Then you have to be careful...... The leader of each ring is a person of a higher realm. The year I went, the champions of cultivators and monks were all in the real realm, and the champion of the real people was Hualian Zhenjun, and as for the champion of the True Monarch, he was a mysterious quasi-immortal. ”

"Quasi-immortals appear in the capital?!" Song Yi was taken aback.
