The initial comprehension of the Tao made Zhang Zheng's perception of heaven and earth a little deeper.

She is in the house, but she seems to be able to feel the joy of the laurel tree stretching its branches in the courtyard, and the joy of the flowers and plants bathing in the wind below.

As soon as her mind moved, the whole world conveyed to her the vigorous vitality of prosperity.

It's a completely different vision from what the consciousness sees, it seems to be ethereal, but you know exactly that it really exists.

Suddenly, the weak and pure breath of life was mixed with two stronger wisps of strange aura.

Someone went into the yard!

Could it be someone who infiltrated the courtyard and tried to take her life? Zhang Zheng's heart tightened, and he neatly took out the dagger and hid behind the door to prepare to fight back.

There was no movement, Zhang Zheng suddenly remembered that there was such a thing as divine consciousness, and he hurriedly used his divine sense to quietly probe into the courtyard, and it turned out to be two eight or nine-year-old girls.

One of the girls with braided braids played with the dusty storage bag in her hand with novelty in her eyes, and asked in surprise: "Tingting, we will be monks in the future, will we be able to fly in the sky like Senior Brother Yun?"

The Tingting in her mouth is a fair-skinned little girl in a green jacket skirt, with watery eyes, but she is much calmer, and she said calmly: "It's still very early to fly in the sky like Senior Brother Yun, you see that so many senior brothers and sisters in the outer gate are walking."

After that, she carefully stroked the booklet of "Qi Cultivation Formula" in her hand, and couldn't help but show a look of longing.

Zhang Zheng was confused by this scene, why do these two little girls have the ban on this courtyard? What puzzled her the most was that their performance could completely show that they were new disciples.

The Wanxuanmen enrollment test has not changed for thousands of years, and it has always been held every twenty years, so what happened to accept disciples in advance.

Reason told Zhang Zheng that it was impossible, if there was really any drastic change, it would be impossible for her to retreat and cultivate so peacefully without anyone disturbing her.

The only possibility left, she had an epiphany, and she didn't know the sun and the moon, and the outside world had quietly passed more than ten years.

When the little girls went back to their rooms, Zhang Zheng's body turned into a streamer, quickly left the courtyard, and casually asked a passer-by how long it was still before the mountains and seas.

was stopped rashly, and the same door was still a little angry, but seeing that the person who intercepted him was far higher in cultivation than himself, this anger immediately disappeared, and he replied respectfully: "There are about seventy-three years."

Seventy-three...... There are eighty-five years left before the retreat, which means that twelve years have passed since her epiphany! It's no wonder that a new disciple has just arrived.

"Senior sister, may I ask you what else is going on?"

Seeing the strange junior brother's panicked look, Zhang Zheng hurriedly waved his hand: "It's gone, it's troublesome."

After that, she left in a hurry, rented a spirit beast and hurried to the steward's office.

After she got out of the courtyard, she tried to go in again only to find that her disciple token had expired, it seemed that she missed the cultivation test, and Wan Xuanmen was afraid that she would directly cancel her disciple status.

As soon as I stepped into the steward's office, I found that there were a lot of people here, mostly small radish heads, and the cultivation was all in the first or second layer of qi cultivation or had not yet drawn qi into the body.

Unexpectedly, he was in a coma twenty years ago and missed his entry time, but twenty years later, he made up for it by mistake.

In the eager onlookers of a group of children, Zhang Zheng had no face to cut in line, so he had to line up behind them silently.

When the little radish heads first entered the fairy gate, they couldn't suppress their excitement, and their chattering was really noisy.

Fortunately, Zhang Zheng was dressed in a sect uniform, and his pretty face, which had always been expressionless, was also serious at the moment, which made these new disciples a little scared, although they were very curious about this beautiful senior sister, but they didn't dare to come forward to quarrel with her, so they could only think that they would quietly glance at each other and say a few whispers.

Soon, it was finally Zhang Zheng in line.

The monk who had been handing out supplies for the new disciples for a day was so tired that he didn't even lift his head, and skillfully handed over a storage bag and a copy of the "Qi Cultivation Formula".

Zhang Zheng, who had been queuing for a long time, didn't expect that it was actually a senior brother distributing supplies, and she didn't expect that with so many new disciples, where would Elder Zhuji sit and distribute supplies for two days.

I had no choice but to ask, "May I ask Senior Brother, can the Elder Steward be here?"

Only then did the senior brother raise his head, glance at her cultivation, and then said, "The elder is in the side hall, you can go in by yourself."

Bai lined up, and Zhang Zheng went to the side hall in annoyance.

The elder steward was idle, looking through a book of immortal cultivation world, and when he heard her come in, he asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Zheng briefly informed the elders in charge of his situation, but concealed that he had been in retreat for 12 years, and only said that something went wrong during his training outside and he was delayed for some time.

Although it is only an outer door, there are prohibitions engraved on the outside of the disciple's room, and Jin Dan is not allowed to probe with divine sense. So she didn't worry about revealing herself.

The elder steward frowned when he heard this, these days, the junior has too little concept of time.

In the past, it was not unheard of when a disciple was out and failed to return to the sect in time, but this girl was delayed for too long.

This is not a big deal after all, and the sect is not idle and panicked, and goes to investigate the whereabouts of each disciple every day. He took the token that had expired, wiped the light of his right hand, and then pasted it on the abbreviated mountain peak map, and then threw it back to Zhang Zheng.

"Well, that's it. This time, the number of new disciples is a bit large, and the courtyard where you live is stuffed into two, so you should take care of it, and don't make trouble with children. ”

Of course, Zhang Zheng couldn't clash with the two little girls, so he nodded and signaled that he understood.

Only then did the elder in charge say again: "As for the disciple test, it will be ten years before the next time, but it can't be told that you will escape in vain."

He thought for a moment.

"In this way, within half a year, you will go to the martial arts arena by yourself to find a similar competition with the same sect, and if you win, you will be counted as having passed the disciple test."

Leaving from the steward's office, Zhang Zheng did not rush back to the room, but went to the Dongya Mountain Mansion.

For outer disciples, in addition to allocating a courtyard to live in, they can also go to the Dongya Mountain Mansion to rent a simple cave mansion by themselves.

The cave is distributed in the Thirteen Veins Mountain, which is also a natural barrier mountain range between the outer gate and the inner gate, and the concentration of aura is not as good as the inner gate, but it is far better than the outer gate, and of course the rent is not small.

Previously, Zhang Zheng had not yet realized the Tao, and she did not have much requirements for the concentration of aura, and she was alone in a courtyard, so it was better to be quiet, and there was no need to rent a cave mansion.

But now, she needs to change her practice and not be disturbed, and Hua Lingshi's lease of the cave is also considered a matter of urgency.

The person in charge of renting out the Thirteen Mountains Cave Mansion was an old man with a crane-haired childish face, and after checking her disciple token, he pointed to a stone slab on the right.

"Cave for rent: five lower-grade spirit stones a day, and a hundred spirit stones a month."

Zhang Zheng planned to use this time to consolidate his cultivation, and then slowly convert the "Qi Cultivation Technique" he had learned into the exercises passed down by his master.

"I'll rent it for three months first, I'm in trouble with the elders."

After paying three hundred spirit stones, there were only a few hundred spirit stones left in the storage bag.

As usual, I chose a cave house with a remote environment and no one around.

The cave is very simple, like a mountain wall with several large holes carved inside, and the only thing that can be considered a living item is a pine needle futon.

After spending a few days of hard work to completely consolidate the cultivation of the eighth layer of Qi training, and feeling that the spiritual power in his body had become solid and condensed again, Zhang Zheng touched the exercises with an excited heart.

Jing Zeshu had lifted the seal on the exercises as early as the moment she realized the Dao, and Zhang Zheng easily took out a crystal clear bead from it.

At the same time as she touched the beads, an inexplicable and wonderful feeling arose, as if she and the beads were one, and at this moment finally returned to the meaning of complete perfection.

As soon as her mind moved, the exercises were completely presented in her mind.

"Neutralizing the ...... of metabiogenesis"

Zhang Zheng unconsciously muttered the name of the exercise.

"Chaos has not opened, yin and yang are turbid...... Chaos and enlightenment, yin and yang are blended, yang energy is light and agile, and it rises to the sky; The yin qi is damp and turbid, sinking to the earth, and the heaven and the earth are divided. ”

"Yin and Yang are combined, and the three qi are transformed - spirit, demon, and corpse; The five elements are born – water, fire, wood, metal, and earth. Lonely yin is not born, and solitary yang is not long, so heaven and earth are matched with yin and yang, and the five elements form each other, and all things are born. ”
