After several months of hard work, Xiao Ding finally lifted the ban on Wang Ding.

This is a medicine tripod for alchemy. Getting this treasure, Xiao Ding was very happy.

Then Xiao Ding thought of the spiritual fire needed for alchemy.

The spiritual fire of the immortal cultivation realm is not easier to obtain than other spiritual objects such as heavenly and earthly treasures, and it is still difficult to find.

However, Xiao Ding has a ready-made one in his hand.

When he was on Earth, he once stole the sacred fire of the Guran Sect of the Western Regions. The Holy Flame of the Quran religion has a heart of blue flame. According to the records in the "Alchemy Secret Classic", all fires with a heart of flame are not ordinary fires in the world, and only the spiritual fire of the immortal cultivation world will have a heart of flame.

Although Xiao Ding couldn't recognize what kind of spiritual fire the Holy Fire of the Quran Sect was for the time being, he could be sure that it was by no means an ordinary ordinary fire.

At that time, because Xiao Ding's cultivation was still low, he was not able to sacrifice this holy fire, so he had to temporarily put the holy fire into his other magic weapon, the Soul Gathering Tower.

His Soul Gathering Tower, also known as the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, has a total of seven floors, and each layer has a treasure hanging on it. This was what he had received from a rich man when he was on earth. Because the Soul Gathering Tower, before refining, had the power to automatically summon lonely souls and wild ghosts, the rich man did not dare to leave this treasure, so he gave it to Xiao Ding.

In the lowest layer of the Soul Gathering Tower, it originally came from a white Samadhi True Fire, but as a result, after Xiao Ding collected the Holy Fire of the Ancient Sect into the first layer of the Gathering Soul Tower, the Holy Fire of the Ancient Religion actually devoured the original Samadhi True Fire, and then, the original blue flame heart has now turned yellow.

Today, Xiao Ding lifted the ban on the Dan Furnace and left Wang Ding, and immediately remembered the ancient Lan'an holy fire in his Soul Gathering Tower. It's just that at this moment, although his sacrificial alchemy technique has made the greatest progress, it has not yet been fully completed, so he can't sacrifice the holy fire for the time being, and he can't use the holy fire to refine the pill.

After Xiao Ding added his own prohibition to Wang Ding, he put it away and continued to cultivate several other spells at the fourth level of Qi training.

Among these small spells in the four layers of Qi training, the Fire Control Technique and the Water Control Technique are the most difficult to practice. And the talisman technique, the sacrificial alchemy, and the soul dementorship are relatively easier. Xiao Ding's sacrificial alchemy has made the greatest progress, and he only needs to cultivate for a while before he can achieve great success.

Spiritualism requires a strong sense of consciousness to use. Xiao Ding had taken three Heavenly Spirit Pills that could enhance his divine consciousness at the beginning, so his current divine consciousness was much higher than that of other cultivators of the same level.

Therefore, for spiritualism, he has now basically mastered the method, but he lacks practice.

As for the talisman technique, it is also simple to make the talisman of ordinary town houses and ghosts, using cinnabar pens and yellow table paper, according to the fixed pictures and texts, and drawing them with cinnabar.

But it's not so easy to draw a spirit rune, such as an attack rune, if you want to draw a fireball rune, you need to be able to use the fireball spell yourself, and then you can cast the magic and inject mana into the spirit rune, so that when you use the fireball rune, it is equivalent to casting a fireball attack yourself.

But Xiao Ding's fire control technique and water control technique have only just started to practice for a long time, and they can't achieve the effect of attack for the time being. And except for the fire control technique and the water control technique, among the spells that Xiao Ding learned, there were no offensive spells. Xiao Ding's other attack methods are basically still in the stage of physical attack. Spell attacks, this is just the beginning, and it will take more time to achieve success.

Without an effective spell attack, it is naturally impossible to draw more advanced runes. Therefore, Xiao Ding's current talisman technique is still in the theoretical stage and has not really been practiced.

Although he hadn't drawn the spirit rune yet, after Xiao Ding understood the theory of the rune, he had the idea of the rune in his heart.

So, early the next morning, after breakfast, he immediately went to the mission hall hall of Shouyang Peak, where he used almost all the points on his jade card to exchange for hundreds of attack charms, defense charms, and so on.

These talismans were all drawn by some people with higher cultivators in the sect, and then used to exchange for points, and they all arrived here in the mission hall.

After redeeming so many talismans, Xiao Ding's heart is happy this time, he will not feel sorry for the points in the jade card at all, although there is not much left in it now, but he only needs to take the time to dig out an old ginseng plant in the Qiankun pot, and he can exchange it for tens of thousands of points.

But with so many spirit runes, Xiao Ding felt that the next time he entered the Burial Soul Mountain, he would no longer have to worry about it, and there would be no means to save his life.

The spirit runes drawn by people with high cultivation are naturally powerful. Each time it is used, it is equivalent to an attack or defense of the person who drew the rune.

In addition to exchanging spirit runes, Xiao Ding also exchanged a set of cinnabar pen and ink inkstones and a lot of spirit rune paper. This rune paper is different from ordinary yellow table paper, but is made of a special material that can store mana in it.

Although he is not yet able to draw offensive spirit runes, he is now vajra, light body technique, stealth technique, wall piercing technique, etc., several spells that have been cultivated earlier have been completed, although these small spells, in front of other high-level monks, are not worth mentioning at all, but Xiao Ding can be used to practice his hands.

He decided to go back and try his hand at drawing the Vajra Talisman, the Light Talisman, the Invisibility Talisman, and the Wall Piercing Talisman.

Li Tianliang saw that Xiao Ding had changed so many talismans, as well as cinnabar pens and other things, and almost spent all the points on the jade plate, so he couldn't help but say to Xiao Ding worriedly: "Senior Brother Tian, you have exchanged all the points on the jade plate, so what are you going to eat in the canteen?" ”

Xiao Ding said indifferently: "The last time I sold the pill, I also got a lot of spirit stones, I can use the spirit stones to exchange for points." ”

He didn't tell Li Tianliang that he had ginseng, and the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.

"Senior Brother Tian, you won't run to the back mountain alone to cook alone, right?" Li Tianliang tilted his head and looked at Xiao Ding and said.

Because Xiao Ding often went to the cave in the back mountain alone to cultivate, he sometimes didn't bother to go back to the sect's canteen to eat, so he took local materials and cooked and ate directly in the cave.

Li Tianliang heard Xiao Ding mention this, so he asked.

"It's not impossible to cook your own meals." Xiao Ding nodded and replied.

"By the way, Senior Brother Tian, I heard yesterday that our sect's once-in-a-decade competition is coming, you have to be prepared!" Li Tianliang suddenly remembered, so he said in passing.

"Didn't you say it wouldn't start until next year?" Xiao Ding asked. He had heard Qin Taibao mention it before.

"It's true that the official competition won't start until the end of the year, but the inner and outer disciples of our Tianyang Sect together have as many as eight or nine hundred, and they need to be auditioned in advance." Li Tianliang said.

"Auditions?" Xiao Ding said.

"Yes, I've heard that it looks like there will be a large-scale audition starting next month. In the end, the top 64 disciples will be selected before the end of the year, and then the top four will be selected from the top 64 disciples after the year. Li Tianliang said seriously.

"Eight or nine hundred inner and outer disciples, and in the end, only the top four will be selected?" Xiao Ding said in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that there is a reward for selecting these top four disciples. At that time, the sect will give the top four disciples a chance to use the Heavenly Yang Bead, the treasure of the town gate, to improve their exercises. At the same time, it seems that there is still a quota for going to some secret realm, and the top four disciples are also preferred. Li Tianliang continued.

"A chance to use the Heavenly Yang Bead to improve the exercises?" As soon as Xiao Ding heard Tianyang Zhu, his eyes immediately lit up.

You must know that since he learned about the Tianyang Sect's possession of the Tianyang Pearl, he has been thinking about this Yang Pearl, day and night.

Helplessly, his status is low, and he has no chance to get in touch with this treasure of the town. Of course, it is impossible to blatantly inquire around about the information about the Tianyang Pearl, otherwise once something happens to the Tianyang Pearl, then he will become the object of suspicion.

"Yes, the exercises practiced by our Tianyang Sect are basically Yang-based exercises, so using Tianyang Beads to improve the exercises is extremely effective." Li Tianliang said yearningly.

"However, among these eight or nine hundred people, only four people are selected, and this probability is too low." Xiao Ding said with a sigh.

"It's really not a big chance, but there is a glimmer of opportunity, and it's an opportunity for everyone to compete fairly...... Li Tianliang continued.

"Fair competition? How can I not see fairness? How many of our outer disciples do you think can beat their inner disciples? Xiao Ding rolled his eyes and looked at Li Tianliang and asked.

"This, isn't everyone given a chance to participate, otherwise the sect will directly decide to let their inner disciples participate, and we, the outer disciples, can only just take a look!" Li Tianliang tried his best to explain.

"The opportunity was given, but it was not much worse than not being given. Could it be that those disciples of the inner gate who have already built the foundation will also participate? Xiao Ding asked again.

"No, I heard that only disciples in the Qi cultivation period are eligible to participate, and disciples after foundation building are not allowed to participate." Li Tianliang said.

"That's better, but, in our sect, it seems that there are not many inner disciples who have already built a foundation, right?" Xiao Ding said.

"It looks like there are no more than ten people in total." Li Tianliang nodded.

"Wouldn't it be better for eight or nine hundred disciples to compete for four places together!" Xiao Ding said dejectedly.

"There are more people running for election, but there is always a chance, Senior Brother Tian, I see that you can come back safely after going to Soul Mountain several times, I think you are definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, you work hard, we all fully support you." Li Tianliang looked at Xiao Ding and said.

"Do you think that with my ability, I can beat an inner disciple who practices Qi and Great Perfection like Senior Sister? Stay where you can cool down, I can't even think of it. Xiao Ding shook his head and said.

Li Tianliang: "No, Senior Brother Tian, Deng Feng and I are both optimistic about you, come on!" He shook his fist.

Xiao Ding: "Get out!" ……”

Although he said that he didn't care, Xiao Ding's heart was surging and abnormal. Entering the top four, that's a chance to see the Tianyang Pearl! Such a temptation is simply irresistible to Xiao Ding. It's just that with only his current strength, if he wants to enter the top four, it is difficult to climb to the sky!

How can I pass the audition of the sect competition, and then enter the competition after the year, and grab the top four places?
