Two days later.

Yuan Ming returned to the sect and did not go back to the Fire Refining Hall, but went directly to the Xingzhi Hall first, planning to find some tasks suitable for him to do and accumulate some contribution points.

However, when he arrived at the square outside the executive hall, he found that it was unexpectedly crowded and lively.

There were nearly 100 disciples in each hall, gathered around a notice board in the square, and I don't know what attractive news it had attracted their attention, and they were all elated, and the discussion was extremely lively.

Yuan Ming became curious, and finally squeezed into the crowd, tiptoed to the notice board to take a look, and found that there was a striking red paper pasted on it, but the content was a notice issued by the sect.

"White Deer Hill Alliance?" Yuan Ming read it hastily, but a big question rose in his heart.

He turned his head to look at a round-faced disciple beside him who was full of excitement and asked, "This senior brother is polite, I don't know what this White Deer Hill Alliance is?"

"Even the White Deer Hill Guild Alliance doesn't know, are you stupid for penance?" The man looked at him and asked with some contempt.

"I didn't know much about it for a short time, so I asked my senior brother to solve a puzzle." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

Seeing that Yuan Ming was quite polite and that he also intended to show off, the man coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and planned to preach and teach to solve his doubts.

But before he could speak, he was preempted by another person on the side.

"The White Deer Hill Alliance is an exchange event jointly conducted by the five major sects of our Southern Xinjiang and Northern Regions, and it is only held once every ten years. At that time, the elite of the five major sects will gather, and you have not been in the sect for a long time, so you should not have had the opportunity to participate." A tall, lanky Furnace Hall disciple said.

When the round-faced disciple saw that he had been robbed, he immediately glared at the man angrily and sneered, "You're not new here, you're talking as if you had a chance to participate? Participating in the alliance depends on strength."

"Where is your strength so high, you don't have the strength to participate, I don't think you even have the courage to participate......" The tall and thin disciple said not to be outdone.

"What kind of ability do you have, every time you have a good opportunity, it doesn't rely on your master's relationship."

Yuan Ming saw that the two of them were blushing and thick-necked, and they looked like they were about to fight, so he quietly withdrew from the crowd.

The notice only said that in half a year, the White Deer Hill Association would be held, and those who were interested in participating could sign up with the elders of their respective halls, but the rest did not mention much.

Although Yuan Ming was a little curious about this White Deer Hill Alliance in his heart, and wanted to know more information, the most important thing for him at the moment was to improve his cultivation strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's useless to know.

He walked around the Xingzhi Hall and didn't see any suitable tasks, so he returned to the Fire Refining Hall, and he went directly to the Fire Workshop, seized the time, and practiced refining embryos.

Refining weapons, after all, is a hand effort, too long to practice, will definitely be born.

Since the time had passed, the morning class in the fire workshop had ended, and almost all the disciples had left, Yuan Ming raised the fire by himself and began to tinkle the embryo.

He is now maturing in both strength and skill, and it is not difficult to complete a thousand tempering, and it didn't take long for him to find his state, and he quickly completed the refining embryo.

By the time he stopped the last hammer, a standard long knife had already been forged.

"Bang Bang"

At this moment, there was a clapping sound behind him, and Senior Brother Fang Ge came over at some point.

"There has been progress, the pattern of the blade is very beautiful, and the shape of the instrument is also very symmetrical." Brother Fang Ge praised without hesitation.

"Senior brother, it's ridiculous. I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm already a little rusty, so please give me more advice." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Don't be modest, I discovered very early on that when you do something, maybe the learning process is not shorter than others, and the learning speed is not faster than others, but once you master it, your performance will be very stable."

Fang Ge waved his hand and said.

Yuan Ming thought about it, and suddenly felt that this was really the case!

Whether it is refining embryos or drawing talismans, as long as he really masters the method, the chances of success are very high.

"Have you ever seen Master?" Fang asked.

"I just returned to the sect today, and I haven't had time to visit yet, but what are the instructions from the Three Cave Masters?" Yuan Ming asked in some surprise.

"Yesterday, Senior Sister Chen Wan came to you and said that the master asked you to go to the back mountain. But she couldn't find you, and she was anxious to go into retreat, so she entrusted the matter to me, so that I could tell you what you had to say." Fang said.

Yuan Ming thought about it for a while, and knew that most of them were asking him to take care of Huo Yu'er.

"I'll go to the back mountain in a moment. Before that, there happened to be something going on, and I wanted to inquire with my senior brother." Yuan Ming said.

"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it." Fang Ge nodded.

"Senior brother, do you know what's going on with the White Deer Hill Alliance?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Have you been to the Acting Hall? That's almost half a year away." Fang asked.

"Exactly, I saw a lot of disciples gathered in front of that notice, as if it was some kind of once-in-a-decade event." Yuan Ming said.

"White Deer Hill is a Jedi in the 100,000 Great Mountains, which is covered by a highly toxic miasma all year round, and every ten years, the poisonous miasma in some areas of it will dissipate for seven days, and at this time, the five major sects in our southern and northern regions will jointly enter Bailuqiu to explore. The alliance is an exchange activity between the disciples of the five major sects during the Qi refining period, and it is also a test of the strength of each family's new generation. After all, our five major sects are in the same spirit." Fang explained in detail.

"Explore?" Yuan Ming's heart moved.

"It's to search for all kinds of spiritual materials in the White Deer Hill." Fang said.

"Will there be a lot of spiritual materials in the White Deer Hill?" Yuan Ming asked.

"That's nature. White Deer Hill is a special existence in the entire 100,000 Great Mountain, because of the poisonous miasma, ordinary monks cannot enter, and it isolates many fierce beasts, so there are a large number of rare beasts and many unique spiritual materials that are not found elsewhere, and the five major sects can all gain a lot from it." Fang said.

"Exotic beasts? It doesn't seem to be very peaceful inside." Yuan Ming said.

"Danger is naturally there, the poisonous miasma is rampant in the White Deer Hill all year round, and there are many kinds of poisons bred, as well as all kinds of strange beasts, casualties are inevitable. Moreover, there is still a certain danger in such an alliance, and each sect will secretly compete, compare their own gains, and rank them. So there will be competition with each other, and there will inevitably be conflicts." Fang explained.

Yuan Ming nodded and did not continue to ask.

"What? Senior Brother Yuan, are you also interested in participating?" Fang asked.

"Forget it, I'm a newcomer, and my strength is still shallow, so let's practice honestly." Yuan Ming said.

He was originally a little moved, but after communicating with Fang Ge, he temporarily dismissed the idea of participating, anyway, there is still half a year, so let's see the opportunity to act when the time comes.

"Well, down-to-earth cultivation is the right path, and besides, you have only a short time to get started, so since you are not in a hurry to build a foundation, there is no need to participate." Fang Ge nodded, very satisfied with Yuan Ming's pragmatic ideas.

"Senior brother mean, it still has something to do with the foundation?" Yuan Ming wondered.

"The sect attaches great importance to the output of Bailu Qiuli, and in order to motivate the disciples in the Qi refining period, select potential disciples, and there are various additional rewards for the participating disciples. All the treasures obtained in the White Deer Hill can be exchanged for sect contribution points, in exchange for various magic weapons, spiritual materials, pills, and even exercises. And for particularly outstanding disciples, the sect may reward a chance to build a foundation. But don't think about it." Checkered continued.

When he heard that it was about foundation building, Yuan Ming's eyes brightened up a little.

Although he was new to cultivating immortals, he also knew that for monks, building a foundation was the first hurdle on the long road of cultivation, and whether or not he could successfully build a foundation would mean two completely different lives in the future.

There is no other reason, whether to build a foundation or not is a matter of longevity.

Ordinary mortals have a lifetime, and their longevity is only a few decades, and those who can live for seventy are already rare in ancient times, and when they embark on the path of cultivation, as long as the exercises they practice are still orthodox, they can prolong their lives, so it is not uncommon for most Qi refining period cultivators to live to be more than 100 years old as long as they do not die unexpectedly halfway.

But, this is the end

Although it is much stronger than mortals, if you are lucky enough to complete the foundation building, it will not be a problem to live for more than two hundred years.

And a long longevity also means that there is more time to cultivate to a higher level, so as to obtain more longevity.

Yuan Ming has now cultivated to the ninth layer of qi refining, and he is only one step away from the tenth layer of qi refining, and when he steps into the tenth layer of qi refining, he will initially have the qualifications to build a foundation, so this opportunity to build a foundation is not a dispensable thing for him now.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Ming immediately changed his mind, he wanted to participate in the White Deer Hill Alliance this time.

Not only to participate, but also to prepare in advance and strive for that precious opportunity to build a foundation as much as possible.

Because he wants to build a successful foundation, without the support of the sect's resources, he can't succeed on his own, no matter how he cultivates.

After saying goodbye and leaving the fire workshop, Yuan Ming went straight to the back mountain.

When he arrived outside the small courtyard of the Three Cave Masters, Yuan Ming tidied up his clothes and said loudly, "Disciple Yuan Ming, meet the Three Cave Masters."

As soon as the words fell, a pointed head suddenly poked out on the fence of the courtyard, and two black eyes like beans rolled around, staring at Yuan Ming and letting out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, the red shadow jumped out of the courtyard, climbed onto Yuan Ming's shoulder, and rubbed Yuan Ming's neck affectionately with his head.

Yuan Ming pulled it off its neck and gently stroked its head.

At this time, the door of the small courtyard "squeaked" and opened on its own.

"Come in." The voice of the Lord of the Three Caves came from inside the courtyard.

Yuan Ming hugged the fire gluttony, walked into the courtyard quickly, and saw the three cave masters sitting at the stone table at a glance.

"Yuan Ming has seen the Three Cave Masters." Yuan Ming put the fire gluttony on his shoulder and stepped forward to salute.

The Three Cave Masters glanced at the fire marten, who had an intimate demeanor, nodded, and said, "Listen to Fangge, you went out to retreat and cultivate before?"

"Yes, the disciple just returned to the sect today." Yuan Ming said.

"I'm going to retreat again in the near future, and I'm going to need you to take care of it for a while." The Lord of the Three Caves spoke.
