Di Yun scratched his head awkwardly when he heard Tao Xiuye's words: "I've been cultivating in the attic since I ascended, and I really haven't inquired much about these things, this ......"

When Tao Xiuye heard him say this, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "That's it, the old man has the right to chat today, so I'll tell you about the situation in my Qingyan Mountain." ”

Di Yun looked at him gratefully and said, "In this way, thank you to the Mountain Lord." Please give me advice. ”

Tao Xiuye nodded, walked a few steps on the ground before speaking: "The position we are in is the west of the Heavenly Realm, although the Heavenly Realm is vast, there is no place that is not under the rule of the four major families. The ruler of this Western Heavenly Realm is the Bai family of Flame City. The patriarch of the Bai family, who is also the city lord of Flame City, Qiu Bai Daochang, is a master of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he is a powerful Megatron Heavenly Realm. Although there are countless large and small forces in the Western Heaven Realm, there are only two that directly belong to the Bai family in Flame City, one is the Artifact Sect located in the southwest, and the other is our Qingyan Mountain.

Our Qingyan Mountain's mountain master, Lord Qingyan, although he has only cultivated for thousands of years, has already entered the realm of the Dao Venerable, and he can also be called a master in this Western Heaven Realm. It is precisely because of Lord Qingyan that I, Qingyan Mountain, can stand tall among the many forces in the Western Heavenly Realm and occupy this million-mile territory. ”

When Di Yun heard this, he had doubts in his heart and asked, "My lord, is the Mountain Lord a high-ranking Dao Venerable? How did I hear that he was a ...... when I was in Lan Qingzhuang?"

"He cultivates for his status and is vulgar, and he is only able to lead this Qingyan Mountain by having a nepotistic relationship with the Bai family, right?" Tao Xiuye said.

Di Yun nodded hurriedly.

Tao Xiuye raised his hand and nodded at Di Yun: "You Di Yun, you are shrewd in big things, and confused in small things." What kind of place do you think the Heavenly Realm is? Can you lead such a big force just by relying on nepotism? Not to mention that Lord Qingyan has nothing to do with the Bai family, even if he has a relationship, he has no cultivation and brains. It is absolutely impossible to gain a foothold in this heavenly realm. Di Yun, you always have to remember that in this heavenly realm, strength is everything, as long as your fists are hard, even if you smash the door of the Bai family today, no one will dare to say anything. But on the other hand, if you don't have a hard fist, even if you let people everywhere, you will not die well sooner or later!"

Di Yun bowed and said, "What the Lord said." Di Yun remembered it in his heart!"

Tao Xiuye seemed to remember something, and was stunned for a moment before he spoke again: "Look at my memory, what I said is off topic. The Qingyan Guard of my Qingyan Mountain has a level, which is distinguished by the color of the flame embroidered on the chest of the clothes, from low to high, there are four levels, which are black, purple, silver, and gold. The Golden Blue Flame Guard is the highest level of guard. Every year, my Qingyan Mountain will hold a competition, and the top ten in the competition will be automatically upgraded to Jinyiwei. My request for you is simple, to be in the top ten!"

A wry smile flashed across Di Yun's face. The top ten?is it simple?You have to know that this time you are not facing those who have just risen up from the Blue Qing Village, but the masters selected from the millions of miles of territory in this Qingyan Mountain. For yourself, if you work hard, it's not impossible to do it. But it is obviously not very appropriate to work hard for such a thing.

Tao Xiuye seemed to have guessed Di Yun's thoughts, and looked at him silently. Tao Xiuye walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said: "There are two benefits to this matter, the first is that if you can become a golden guard, it is also a face-showing thing for us Xiuye Peak, you must know that Xiu Ye Feng has not been out of Jinyi Guard for three years." The second one is a great opportunity for you. ”

Di Yun raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "Chance, what kind of opportunity?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Tao Xiuye's eyes, and he said slowly: "According to the rules, everyone who becomes a Golden Guard can not only enjoy the various resources of this Qingyan Mountain first. And there is also the opportunity to be sent to the City Lord's Mansion in the Flame City, and with the help of Qiu Bai Zhenren, to receive the calcination of the underground inner fire, this kind of opportunity is extremely rare, you should cherish it. ”

When Di Yun heard this, his heart moved, and he secretly said that this is the key. You must know that for cultivators, although the magic weapon, physical strength, and various exercises are important, they can all be cultivated through their own efforts. But the strength of the divine soul cannot be enhanced by cultivation alone. There are many ways to improve the soul, and the calcination of the underground heart fire is the most effective and rapid one. But the pain borne by the person who received the calcination is not to mention for the time being, and it is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will end in death.

Therefore, many cultivators would rather cultivate their souls little by little than rashly accept the calcination of the heart. However, like those outstanding disciples of the big family, they will all carry out heart fire calcination under the supervision of their own family's advanced cultivators. In this way, although the pain will not be reduced, the danger will be much less. If it is really like what Tao Xiuye said, it is an immortal-level figure like Qiu Bai Zhenren to assist him, then the benefits can be said to be infinitely useful.

Thinking of this, Di Yun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, please rest assured, in this competition, I will definitely go all out and get a place for a golden guard." ”

A smile appeared on Tao Xiuye's face, and he clapped his hands at Di Yun a few times, and said: "It's good that you have this confidence, tomorrow I will send someone to give you the Qingyan Pill, I hope that within this year, you can advance to Dao Rong, in this way, maybe you will have a greater grasp of getting the Golden Guard." ”

Di Yun bowed and said yes, then retreated and returned to his room. It is said to be a room, but in fact, a cave with a relatively complex structure has been carved out of the mountain wall. There are bedrooms, washrooms, and practice rooms in the cave, and there is not much difference from the mansion under the mountain. What's more, the mountain wall is thick enough, and it is protected by a special formation, even if someone makes a loud noise inside, the outside will not notice it. After all, every cultivator will have some secrets of his own.

After carefully observing his residence, Di Yun nodded with satisfaction, took out a large number of array flags, magic weapons, and strange things from his arms, and then began to get busy inside and outside the cave.

About an hour later, the pale Di Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the ground, and breathed a few sighs of relief. Di Yun arranged the formations, defensive enchantments, magic weapons, etc. that he could arrange around the mountain wall. You must know that this Qingyan Mountain is different from Lanqingzhuang, there are dangers here, and if he is not careful, he will be in danger, so he should be cautious. With so many post-moves here, even if someone attacks him, it won't be so easy to think about.

After finishing all this, Di Yun sat cross-legged in the room with confidence, holding two spars in both hands, and slowly began to replenish his consumption.

After a night of silence, at noon the next day, a black-clothed guard came to Di Yun's cave and handed him a turquoise bottle, claiming that it was something that the deputy mountain lord had given him. Di Yun understood that this was the legendary Qingyan Pill, after he took the bottle in, he poured out the cyan pill the size of a dragon's eye inside, and after carefully inspecting it, he confirmed that there was no danger, and then refilled it, waiting for the critical time to take it to help him break through the barrier of advancement.

Next, Di Yun understood that the top priority was to improve his cultivation and strive to reach the realm of Dao Rong within a year, so that he would have a few more layers of chances of winning. It is said that among the people competing for the Golden Guard, there are many masters of Dao Rong intermediate or even high-level cultivation, and the challenge he faces is still very big.

Thinking of this, Di Yun let out a sigh of relief, slowly closed his eyes, and threw the two discarded spars in his hand on the ground and replaced them with intact black crystals. Suddenly, an abundant Hongmeng aura escaped from the spar and seeped into Di Yun's body, and suddenly a golden light was released from his body and spread around.

In a matter of moments, this golden light enveloped the entire cave mansion, forming golden clouds that hovered above Di Yun's head. Although all this movement was extremely high, but because Di Yun had arranged various formations and prohibitions outside the cave mansion, there was not a single bit of golden light flying out, and the entire cave mansion looked like normal from the outside

Tao Xiuye, who was hundreds of miles away, seemed to see the golden light in the distance, and showed a smile of relief on his face, and muttered: "Excellent talent, perseverance, diligence and hard work, this Di Yun is really good, believe me Tao must not have seen the wrong person this time, there must be no ......"

With a muffled whisper, his figure blurred until it was gone. A black-clothed guard who was patrolling by looked around, and scratched his head in wonder: "I clearly saw that there was a person standing here, why is there no one now, strange." It must be hell, regardless of him. ”

Time flies by, and nine months have passed since Di Yun came to Qingyan Mountain. In the past nine months, every ten days of hard work, Tao Xiuye would send someone to send Di Yun some pills to help him cultivate. These pills are all the top-grade pills in Qingyan Mountain, although Di Yun didn't know why Tao Xiuye wanted to pay so much to himself, but after he checked it carefully, he found that these pills were indeed true, so he took them in order with peace of mind. In his opinion, even if Tao Xiuye had any intentions for him, it would be a matter for the future, and the most important thing for him now was to improve his cultivation.

With a steady stream of elixirs and a large number of spars, Di Yun's cultivation had already broken through the barrier and entered the realm of the Dao Ji high level by the sixth month.

Di Yun felt his cultivation for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and took out the Qingyan Pill that Tao Xiuye had sent to him from his arms. Looking at the cyan pill the size of a dragon's eye in his hand, he muttered: "Time is running out, with this pill, it's not impossible for me to impact Dao Rong, you must try it!"
