Leaving the conference hall, Cao Ren came up with a wicked smile and put his arms around Cao Feng's neck, "Xiao Feng, to be honest, what did you say to my dad just now, I saw that they were shocked?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I've cultivated to the Seventh Heaven of the Earth Level, after all, I haven't cultivated for more than half a year."

Cao Feng said very normally, it seemed that it was a very simple matter to go to the Seventh Heaven of the Earth Level, but after Cao Ren and Cao Qian and the others behind heard it, they looked at him incredulously.

As we all know, the spirit masters of the Cangyun Continent are divided into twelve levels according to their strength, from weak to strong: Emperor, Saint, Emperor, King, Jun, General, Xiang, Hou, Ren, Heaven, Xuan, and Earth, and each level is subdivided into one to nine heavens.

Each of the three heavens is: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, each level, and each level of ascension takes a lot of time, energy, and the spirit master's own perception, and it is understandable that everyone is so strange.

Cao Ren looked back at Cao Ling, who was also shocked, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Damn, Cao Qian, did you hear it, it's nothing, my current cultivation is only the sixth heaven of the earth level, but in the middle of the earth level, you have reached the high stage of the earth level." ”

Cao Ren's foul language made Cao Qian and the others behind him even more embarrassed.

Cao Feng smiled awkwardly, and he would have said a little lower if he had known.

"Alas, it's worthy of you, this time it's really a blessing in disguise, you have to follow us in the future, hahaha."

Cao Feng knew Cao Ren's strength, "Brother Ren, don't be kidding, you have been to the Sixth Heaven of the Earth Rank for half a year, and with your strength, you are also in the top five among the younger generation of Frost Maple City, and Cao Qian, didn't you also reach the Fifth Heaven of the Earth Level a few days ago." ”

Cao Qian smiled, "Yes, Brother Ren, Wang Shu of the Wang family, Zhao Er of the Zhao family, Zhou Yan of the Zhou family, as well as you and Brother Feng, now you can rank fourth, Brother Feng should be the first, we are not enough, we are more than the bottom......"

Cao Ren punched Cao Qian, "You kid, you will shoot the fart, but this fart is comfortable", Cao Ren smiled as if he thought of something, put away his smile and said cautiously: "Xiao Feng, I know your strength, but Zhao Er and Wang Shu are really not to be underestimated"

"Zhao Er and Wang Shu both arrived at the Seventh Heaven of the Earth Rank not long ago, and the two families are booming all day long, we can't take it lightly, and if you need medicinal herbs or pills, you can come to me, remember!"

Cao Feng: (ˊωˋ*), remember, I'm not welcome. ”

Cao Ren: "ヾ (. ̄□ ̄)ツ,uh,You're welcome,You're welcome,You're welcome......"

In Cao Hao's room, Cao Hao and Cao Mo seemed to be discussing something.

Cao Hao took a sip of water and chuckled, "Fourth, it's not strange that you said this, how many elixirs we have used in the past six months, but it has no effect at all, but just one night, he came back." ”

"Patriarch, this is something I never expected, and I'm still shocked."

Cao Hao frowned, and immediately corrected: "Eh, fourth, just call me eldest brother here, so what are you doing officially?"

Cao Mo nodded and smiled, but didn't say anything.

Cao Hao seemed to put this matter down for the time being, and asked abruptly, "Fourth, how is the investigation of that matter?"

Cao Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, "Second Elder, this is the only result I can find!"

Cao Hao was stunned when he heard this result, slowly put down the cup in his hand, and stared at Cao Mo, seemingly dissatisfied with such a result.

"Could it be that there is something missing that you haven't found?" , but after saying this he regretted it.

"Patriarch, you know, I've only missed it once in my life!"

After Cao Mo said this sentence expressionlessly, he looked at Cao Hao with an expressionless face.

Cao Hao didn't correct Cao Mo anymore, and he didn't have the heart to correct it, he only felt irritable in his heart.

After a period of silence, Cao Hao also said expressionlessly: "I know, you can continue to investigate!" However, make sure that Xiao Feng is safe!"

"Got it, I believe there will be an answer soon......"

"Feng'er, are the rumors outside true? Are you really back to cultivating? Li Wan looked at Cao Feng's slightly tall figure and asked carefully.

"Mother, it's true, I've been worrying you these days."

Li Wan touched Cao Feng's head, "Mother is fine, as long as you are happy, I don't know anything about cultivation, since your father left, you have hidden everything in your heart, but you often come to comfort me." ”

Thinking of his missing father, Cao Feng unconsciously recalled what Cao Xuan had said to him on the night he first awakened the Spirit Pattern five years ago.

"Dad, look, I have awakened the spirit pattern, it is a blue four-grade spirit pattern wind spirit kite, which is one grade higher than your spirit pattern." , the young Cao Feng stretched out his arm to show off in front of Cao Xuan.

But Cao Xuan didn't pay attention to it, Cao Feng had to bring his arm closer together, "Dad, take a look, Uncle said that my spirit pattern is the first in Frost Maple City." ”

Cao Xuan glanced up and gave an affirmative.

"Dad, why are you upset?"

"Feng'er, in the future, you have to listen to your mother's words, just grow up happily, don't be a spirit master for anything, do you understand?"

"Dad, I see."

"Stinky boy, you know a fart!"

Cao Feng's thoughts came out of his memories, and now that five years have passed, he feels that he may or may not have understood.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find my father, he promised me."

Li Wan wiped the tears that she didn't know when, and sobbed: "Look at me, I'm crying again, your father must have his own hardships to say goodbye, and my mother doesn't ask you to find him, as long as you can be safe, you have to pay attention in the future, don't have any more accidents."

"Well, I'll be extra careful."

Li Wan said a few more words before leaving the room.

Towards the end of the afternoon, Cao Ren and Cao Qian came over again.

"Xiao Feng, let me tell you something, half a month later, on October 16th, we will hold a competition in Frost Maple City."

"The regulations require that young spirit masters under the age of sixteen participate, saying that the top four will be selected to participate in the Emperor Guard Challenge in Qingyang City, and the top ten in the challenge can obtain the Emperor Guard qualification and the cultivation resources provided by the Divine Wind Imperial Family within ten years."

"Imperial Guard Challenge?"

"Yes, the so-called Imperial Guard, which means Imperial Guard, is a way for the Empire to absorb young talents in disguise."

"However, the management is relatively relaxed, and it is a non-staff member of the state, and only when national security is in danger, or the local needs you, you must obey the state's call and assist the local army in dealing with some thorny problems."

After listening to this, Cao Feng pondered for a moment and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Will there be any risks during the competition?"

"All the matters of this competition are in charge of the City Lord's Mansion, there shouldn't be any problems, Dad asked me to come over to ask for your opinion and ask if you want to participate."

Cao Qian added on the side: "The higher the ranking in the competition, the richer the reward will be, even if the ranking is not high, as long as you can enter the top ten, with the qualification of the imperial guard, on the bright side, that is, with the protection of the royal family, and also have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy, not only for the individual, but also for the development of the family."

Thinking of this, Cao Feng immediately made a decision, "I agree to participate, presumably the people of the other three families will not let go of this opportunity, no matter which of the three of them are qualified, they will be very passive about the development of the family in Frost Maple City." ”

"This is also what I'm worried about, I'm also afraid that you won't participate in the Qingyu Order of the Heavenly Wind Academy, since that's the case, then I'll go tell my father"

"Guys, it looks like we're going to have to work on something this time."

After complaining, Cao Ren thought of the hard days in the future, shook his head with a wry smile, and hurriedly went out with Cao Qian.

After Cao Ren left, Cao Feng thought carefully about the Imperial Guard Challenge again, "This is indeed an opportunity, Tianfeng Academy can only enter at the age of sixteen, so there is no need to rush now." ”

"Wang Shu and Zhao Er's strength is about the same as mine, and they are indeed not to be underestimated."

After taking out the Qi Gathering Pill and hesitating for a moment, Cao Feng decided to take two pills this time to increase the effect.

"Hey, stinky boy, what do you want to do?"

Well? , Cao Feng looked up and found that Zu Rong's face was not very good.

"Cultivation, Rong Ye, what's wrong?"

"How can anyone cultivate like this? , What kind of bullshit Qi Gathering Pill has such a bad effect, it's black and not slippery, it's just sheep dung eggs, I think you mean to eat two at a time, isn't it? ”

Cao Feng nodded dumbly, and then looked at the Qi Gathering Pill in his hand that exuded medicinal fragrance.

Although the Qi Gathering Pill is indeed not perfect, it has few side effects, and it is not some bullshit sheep dung egg, right?

"Your current cultivation is only at the level of the level, just abuse the pill like this, when your realm slowly rises, the hidden disease left by taking the pill will become the biggest problem hindering you, there are many ways to improve your cultivation, why do you have to bet on the future!"

After listening to this, Cao Feng roughly understood what Zu Rong meant, but he really didn't have any way to improve his cultivation quickly, and asked, "Master Rong, do you mean that you have a way to improve your cultivation speed?"

"Not bad", Zu Rong turned his back and said slowly: "Although the ground level is the initial stage of the spirit master's cultivation, it is the lowest level."

"But it is also a stage that pays the most attention to laying the foundation, if this stage is too impetuous and the foundation is unstable, it may not be visible now, but as the cultivation rises, if you fight with people with a solid foundation, these deficiencies will be exposed."

Cao Feng was taken aback, put away the Qi Gathering Pill, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?"

"Clear the spirit level and increase the number of spirit levels!"

"Break through the spirit level? But I've already got through! Cao Feng was puzzled, according to common sense, his five spiritual passes have been opened, what else is there to fight?

Zu Rong knew that he would say this, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, breaking through the five spiritual passes is just what you generally think, in fact, at the ground level, you have to clear the nine spiritual passes."

When Cao Feng heard that there were nine spiritual passes, he was immediately stupid, "Nine? No, why I don't know. ”

Zu Rong smiled, "You stupid boy, do you have something good, do you still want to go to the street to announce it?" In my time, this was only a small number of strong people at the peak of their strength who knew that after such a long time, I am afraid that the people who know now are only the gate sects and big families that have exceeded a thousand years. ”

"Such a, Master Rong, you know so much, how high was your realm back then?"

Zu Rong flew over with a smile and blinked, "It's not high, it's only three or four stories high!" ”

Three or four storeys high? It must be amazing.

Cao Feng quickly pondered in his heart, and looked at Zu Rong's smiling face sincerely, "Master Rong, can you be my master, I want to become strong, I want to be a strong person like you." ”

Zu Rong put away his smile when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Then why do you think you can be my apprentice?"

"By me, by ...... Even if I die in this life, I will become a strong man, find my father, and revitalize the family. Cao Feng stammered and said what he was supposed to do.

Zu Rong was slightly stunned after hearing this, and finally spit out a few words: "What kind of answer is this?"

"I only have these reasons, I have recognized myself in the past six months, I am just an ordinary person, and I don't have too great ambitions, in addition to these, what I want most is to see what the outside world is like."

Zu Rong didn't say yes or no, sighed one after another, raised his head and sighed: "When I was young, I was curious, and I begged the master to give me a divination that I would have a few apprentices, he said that I have three apprentices in my life, I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that his old man is really powerful!"

"Alas~, that's it, Cao Feng, you will be my Zu Rong's third apprentice in the future, the last apprentice!", but when he said this, he couldn't hide the tiredness between his words.

"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship."

Cao Feng was a little flattered for a while, he didn't notice the change, and knelt down and bowed three times.

"It's not bad, it's a bit of an apprentice."

Zu Rong saw that Cao Feng respected him so much, so he no longer bothered about whether this last apprentice recognized the loss or not.

Zu Rong coughed lightly, and his tone was majestic: "Since you worship under my door, the rules of this door must also be explained to you clearly!"
