At noon, the blazing sun scorched the earth uncontrollably, and the whole valley became inflamed, and some of the rocks were roasted as red as charcoal fire. However, Chu Tianfan was sitting on the top of a mountain peak in such bad weather.

Chu Tianfan is still dressed in gray, with a delicate face and a thin figure, although his eyes are closed, he vaguely gives people a sense of perseverance.

At this time, under the illumination of the scorching sun, there was a strange light that gathered around Chu Tianfan, and then condensed into balls the size of fingernails. There are not many of them, just twenty-five, but they are beautiful.

"Great, these qi pills should be enough for Brother Tianfan to break through to the fifth stage of qi refining. Not far in front of Chu Tianfan, a girl in yellow couldn't help but be excited when she saw these beautiful qi pills.

The girl looks eleven or twelve years old, with smart eyes and a cute and immature face, which makes people love it very much. There are two dark blue earrings in the girl's ears, which add a bit of color to her beauty on the basis of cuteness.

Next to the girl was a young man in black, his figure was strong, his expression was haughty, and his eyes were full of disdain. When he heard the words of the girl in yellow, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Sister Su Cheng, it's too early to be happy, right?"

Hearing this, Su Cheng turned his head unhappily and asked, "Ji Lei, what do you mean?"

Ji Lei glanced disdainfully in Chu Tianfan's direction, and then said, "What do I mean, Sister Su Cheng doesn't know? It took him five years from the third stage to the fourth stage, and now it has only been two years since he broke through to the fourth stage of qi refining, how could he break through so quickly? Not to mention that he has tried seven or eight times, if he can break through, he will have broken through a long time ago." ”

Su Cheng didn't want to argue with Ji Lei anymore, his eyes moved back to Chu Tianfan's body, and said coldly: "Ji Lei, if you dare to say that Brother Tianfan is not like this, I will help you loosen your bones again." ”

Su Cheng's words were very serious, Ji Lei's heart jumped suddenly, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. He didn't dare to take Su Cheng's words as a deaf ear, otherwise his fate would be miserable. Su Cheng was his nightmare, and until now he can't forget that day two years ago.

That time, Ji Lei and Chu Tianfan had a conflict over a trivial matter, and when there was a huge difference in strength, Ji Lei beat Chu Tianfan to the ground as soon as he made a move. This scene happened to be seen by Su Cheng who was passing by, Su Cheng and Chu Tianfan have always had a good relationship, so naturally they will not be indifferent. And although Ji Lei was reckless, he was not a fool, he knew that he was not Su Cheng's opponent, so he apologized to Chu Tianfan and wanted to leave.

However, Su Cheng insisted on doing it, on the grounds that he had been too bored recently and wanted to find someone to talk to, but Ji Lei had no choice but to agree. However, the moment the exchange began, he regretted it. Where's this fighting? It's just abuse.

Su Cheng's movements were very fast, and he didn't give Ji Lei a chance to attack and defend at all, and the result can be imagined, Ji Lei was flattened very badly, and then he lay directly on the bed for two months before his injuries fully recovered.

After his father Ji Chong found out about this matter, instead of seeking justice for him, he also scolded him. Since then, Ji Lei has been very jealous of Su Cheng.

Coming out of the nightmarish memories, Ji Lei didn't dare to say anything more, just silently waited to see Chu Tianfan's jokes.

Last night, Ji Lei overheard the conversation between Chu Tianfan and Su Cheng, and knew that he was going to try to break through again today, so he followed, just to see Chu Tianfan's embarrassment after the failure of the attack. Originally, he wanted to bring more people over, but he didn't do it because he was afraid of annoying Su Cheng.

"Whoosh"

Suddenly, those qi pills that surrounded Chu Tianfan spun around a few times like elves, and then drilled into the skin of Chu Tianfan's body, Chu Tianfan immediately felt refreshed, and the Xuan Qi in his body also began to be active.

In the Tianxuan Continent, Xuan Qi is the symbol of the Xuan Realm, and the levels of the Xuan Masters from low to high are: Qi Refining Realm, Melting Yin Realm, Melting Yang Realm, Sealing Realm, Three Void Realm and Xuanzun Realm.

Among them, the initial Qi Refining Realm is divided into nine stages, and the first five stages test the control of Qi, which requires the condensation of Xuan Qi into Qi pills in the outside world, introducing them into the body, and then refining the Qi Pill into Xuan Qi. Of course, if the number of qi pills is not enough, not only will there be no breakthrough, but the Xuan Qi that has been refined with great difficulty will also be lost rapidly, so generally before the breakthrough, these lowest-level Xuan people will work hard to cultivate their spiritual power, because what is needed to condense the qi pill is spiritual power, the stronger a person's spiritual power, the more the number of qi pills condensed, and the higher the possibility of getting a breakthrough.

As a Xuan Qi Refining Realm, there are two reasons why he wants to condense the Xuan Qi from the outside world into a Qi Pill and then introduce it into the body: first, the Qi Pill after the condensation of spiritual power is relatively much milder and easy to absorb; second, if the Qi is directly introduced into the body, it will come and go quickly, and if you forcibly prevent the loss of Xuan Qi, you will definitely end up with a serious injury or even a broken tendon. Of course, this is only for people below the fifth stage of qi refining, as long as they reach the fifth stage of qi refining, and then want to break through the sixth stage of qi refining, they can directly induce qi into the body, and even if they fail, they will only be in a coma for a few hours at most.

Chu Tianfan started cultivating at the age of six, and broke through the third stage of qi refining at the age of eight, this kind of talent is already considered ordinary, but the more terrifying is still to come, it actually took him five years to break through from the third stage of qi refining to the fourth stage of qi refining, it turns out that he is not even as good as mediocre, but a little stronger than waste.

However, Chu Tianfan did not give up cultivation because of this, he didn't believe that he couldn't even compare with a mediocre talent, and he was not willing to be an ordinary person, so he put in dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more effort than others, but the results achieved made him very cold.

Although his spiritual power had been improving, there was still no sign of a breakthrough except for the increase in the number of condensed qi pills. He could feel that his spiritual power had reached a critical point, and if he forcibly cultivated again, he would definitely hurt himself. Therefore, he was very confident in his spiritual power, if his spiritual power could attack, he might be able to defeat some of the fifth-stage mystics of qi refining. However, it is still too far for him to achieve a spiritual attack now, and that requires his strength to reach the Seal Realm.

Ordinary people break through from the fourth stage to the fifth stage, and they only need twenty qi pills at most, but Chu Tianfan has tried eight times, and the number of qi pills is increasing each time, and even the last time it has reached twenty-three, and the result still has not changed at all, which makes Chu Tianfan very confused and cold.

After briefly enjoying the comfortable feeling of the qi pill entering his body, Chu Tianfan began to operate the Xuan Qi in his body, surrounding the twenty-five qi pills at the fastest speed. The first step in refining the qi pill is to seal the qi pill first to prevent it from leaving the body in the middle of it.

Seal the qi pill, and then pull the qi pill into the qi sea, and then refine it into qi.

Since Chu Tianfan did not forget to refine the Xuan Qi while cultivating his spiritual power, it didn't take much time to pull all the Qi Pills into the Qi Sea.

This time, the qi pill was surprisingly docile, and it only jumped a few times in the qi sea before it quieted down and let Chu Tianfan refine it. Chu Tianfan hesitated for a moment in his heart, and finally stepped into the last step of refining.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and in just a few minutes, Chu Tianfan fused all these qi pills into the sea of qi. However, the next moment, a sad thing happened, the Xuan Qi in Chu Tianfan's body was actually rapidly draining, and the ninth breakthrough, he failed again.

Opening his eyes in disappointment, Chu Tianfan was surprised to find that his Xuan Qi was not lost, but absorbed by the pendant on his chest. That was the only thing his mother had left him.

smiled bitterly, and then walked slowly in front of Su Cheng, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Brother Tianfan, have you broken through?" Su Cheng looked Chu Tianfan up and down and asked tentatively. She didn't see any Xuan Qi flowing out of Chu Tianfan's body just now, it stands to reason that it should have broken through, but she felt that the Xuan Qi in Chu Tianfan's body had not been enhanced, and looking at Chu Tianfan's expression, there was no joy after the breakthrough at all, so she couldn't be sure.

Chu Tianfan didn't want Su Cheng to see his decadent expression, so he immediately sighed lightly and said with a light smile: "It's a pity, no." ”

"Well, that's how it turned out. Before Su Cheng could speak, Ji Lei took the lead. "I wanted to congratulate you, but it seems that it is impossible now. ”

"Sorry to disappoint you. Chu Tianfan glanced at Ji Lei, then walked over slowly, and said with a gentle smile: "Xiao Lei, when I cultivate in the future, you don't want to come, so as not to disappoint you again." Don't worry, if I break through, I'll be the first to tell you. ”

Seeing Chu Tianfan's expression, and calling himself Xiao Lei, Ji Lei was annoyed, but because Su Cheng was present, he didn't dare to attack. In the end, he could only smile and say, "Since you have said so, then when you cultivate in the future, I will definitely hide far away." Who made you the son of the valley lord of the Western Barren Valley?"

Ji Lei's counterattack also had the effect he wanted, and the next moment, the smile on Chu Tianfan's face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes revealed a thick melancholy.

The Tianxuan Continent is divided into four Xuan Domains, east, south, west, and north, each of which has different forces, large and small, and the West Barren Valley is a slightly famous small force in the North Xuan Domain, and Chu Tianfan's father, Chu Fengmo, is the valley master of the West Barren Valley.

Chu Fengmo has four children, the eldest son Chu Tianwu is twenty-five years old, and he has broken through to the Melting Yin Realm at the age of sixteen, and now he has been practicing outside, and he has not returned home for five years, and he doesn't know what level he has reached. Chu Tianwu is calm and wise, and his talent is also good, so he naturally became the first choice to inherit the position of the valley master.

The second daughter, Chu Tianliu, is seventeen years old, although she is not as calm and wise as Chu Tianwu, but she is also a mystic in the early stage of the Yin Melting Realm, and her talent is only slightly worse than Chu Tianwu.

The remaining two are Chu Tianfan and Su Cheng. Su Cheng was only twelve years old, and he had reached the peak of the sixth stage of qi refining, if nothing else, he should only be able to break through to the seventh stage of qi refining in only two months, this kind of talent, if he cultivated diligently, it was very likely to surpass Chu Tianliu, or even Chu Tianwu.

And Chu Tianfan is already fifteen years old, but he is still in the fourth stage of qi refining, and this kind of cultivation speed is probably difficult to find one in a thousand.

However, Chu Tianfan did not become decadent because of this, he wanted to prove himself and become his father's pride, because he was his father's only flesh and blood.

In fact, Chu Fengmo only had one son, Chu Tianfan, Su Cheng was an orphan he brought back from outside, and Chu Tianwu and Chu Tianliu were originally the children of his uncle Chu Fenghe, but when they were six years old, Chu Fenghe was poisoned by others and unfortunately died. After that, it was Chu Fengmo who raised them single-handedly, and in their hearts, they had already regarded Chu Fengmo as their father.

After a moment of silence, Chu Tianfan put away his melancholy expression and said with a light smile: "Xiao Lei, thank you for reminding me." Don't worry, even if it is to be worthy of the identity of the Third Young Master of the Western Wilderness Valley, I will work very hard to cultivate. ”

After speaking, he smiled at Su Cheng again: "Orange, let's go, let's go to Chenxi Town." ”

"Hmm. Su Cheng nodded obediently, and then excitedly took Chu Tianfan's hand, hummed a little song, and walked down the valley.

Looking at the backs of Chu Tianfan and Su Cheng in the distance, Ji Lei clenched his fists and said fiercely: "Chu Tianfan, I think you can be arrogant for how long? You wait, this year's Gu Dou, I must make you look good!"
