Refers to the Xuanmen, the Valley of Rejuvenation in the Valley, late at night, in the bamboo house.

Zhou Xingyu gathered his qi and concentrated, manipulated his mind, slowly withdrew the qi in the meridians into the dantian above his head, and then flowed along a specific trajectory from the meridians, one out and one in, and soon the qi in his body had come to the eighth week, according to the previous progress, the qi in his body had flowed to the limit at this moment, and if he had to force his luck, the result would only be no inch.

If it was a weekday, Zhou Xingyu would have given up and obediently ended his cultivation, just thinking of the words of his teacher Li Qingtai in the morning, he couldn't help but feel ruthless in his heart, gritting his teeth and manipulating the airflow in his body to continue to operate.

Sure enough, in an instant, a tearing pain burst out in his body, instantly stimulating all his nerves, only to feel countless tiny blades rampage through his body, and countless wisps of steam came out of Zhou Xingyu's skin, and the whole person seemed to be in smoke, as if he wanted to evaporate all the water in his body.

Just when Zhou Xingyu felt that he couldn't hold on and his head was about to explode, the airflow in his body broke through the shackles of the dantian with a pop and rushed all the way away.

On laps 9 and 10, the air currents that were finally speeding slowly stopped.

"It's done!" Zhou Xingyu's face couldn't help but show joy, and at the same time, he secretly said that he was lucky.

According to the content of the book, at this time, he has successfully entered the second stage of "Otogi Decision".

It has been half a year since Zhou Xingyu participated in the introductory trial, and it is close to the end of the year at this time, in the past half a year, Zhou Xingyu has officially started the cultivation of "Aoki Decision" under the guidance of Li Qingtai, and of course he will not forget to send the silver money harvested every month to Song Qingfeng through the door, and Song Qingfeng will transfer it to his family.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were happy for a long time after learning that their son had officially joined the Xuanmen, and even asked Song Qingfeng to hand over a letter written by Lao Li Tou.

According to the content of the letter, due to the silver taels sent back by Zhou Xingyu, the Zhou family has scraped together enough money for the eldest brother's wedding dowry, and has married the girl who has been in love for a long time home.

The letter also said that let Zhou Xingyu take good care of himself outside, and there is no need to worry about everything.

After getting a reply from home, Zhou Xingyu's heart finally calmed down.

A lot has happened in the past six months.

Of course, there are only two things that are most important to Zhou Xingyu.

The first thing is that Wang Ye and Elder Li finally succeeded in getting out of the customs a month ago, and Wang Ye has completely consolidated the realm of Dou Shi and can be regarded as a good player in the rivers and lakes. Wang Ye told Zhou Xingyu the good news as soon as he left the customs, and Zhou Xingyu was also very happy for him.

From his mouth, Zhou Xingyu learned that Elder Li had successfully broken through the one hundred and fifth stages in this retreat, and his position in the elder group was more stable, and even Wang Ye had gained some hidden benefits.

If there were still people in the Xuanmen who had opinions about him directly becoming a true disciple, then now no one has said anything.

Originally, Wang Ye wanted to take Zhou Xingyu out to take a wave, but before he could go out, he was directly taken away by Elder Li, it was said that he was going to the next state to participate in a celebration of the big sect, and after participating in this celebration, Wang Ye made his official debut on the big stage of the rivers and lakes.

For this reason, Wang Ye pestered Zhou Xingyu for several days, wanting Zhou Xingyu to give him a coquettish nickname, but in the end, Zhou Xingyu, who really couldn't pester the other party, had to say one casually - purple-faced Kunlun Xia, invincible Xiao Langjun, what Zhou Xingyu didn't expect was that Wang Ye, who made up his blind nickname, liked it quite a lot, as for why it was Kunlun Xia instead of Xuanxia, Wang Ye didn't care at all.

Wang Ye said on the spot that the nickname "Purple-faced Kunlun Hero, Invincible Xiao Langjun" is very in line with his style, but for now, it is enough to use the nickname of Invincible Xiao Langjun, and then use the nickname of Purple Faced Kunlun Man when he becomes famous in the rivers and lakes.

As for the second thing, it is about the official entrance examination of the registered disciples, and the examination of the registered disciples of Zhou Xingyu took place two months ago, and there were some old disciples who stayed before to participate in the examination with them.

Passing this examination means that it has officially been recognized by the Xuanmen, and the treatment and benefits in the door will be much better.

Of course, there are naturally many benefits to passing the level, if you can't pass it, most of them can only leave Yuntai Mountain and become miscellaneous disciples like Song Qingfeng, helping the sect to deal with some daily chores, if you accumulate enough functions one day, you still have the hope of being promoted to an outer disciple, which can be regarded as a way out of life for these miscellaneous disciples.

As for Zhou Xingyu, his group of disciples would stay in Yuntai Mountain until they reached the age of fourteen until they were over the age.

Thinking of the examination two months ago, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help but shudder until now, not for himself but for the disciples who participated in the examination.

The examination is divided into two parts, one is to test the physical fitness of these named disciples, mainly strength, speed, and endurance, among which the test of strength is the simplest, which is to require these disciples to move the stone lock with a fixed weight according to their own situation, the heavier the stone lock, the better the tester's performance.

Speed and endurance are tested together, and the requirements are not high, that is, running around the entire Yuntai Mountain, the more laps you run, the longer you persist, the better the results.

The second item is actual combat, which requires the registered disciples to fight, and then persist for a period of time under the attack of the official disciples who are strong in martial arts, if they can fight back, the results are naturally very high, and if they tie with the official disciples or defeat the official disciples, they will be directly promoted.

Not to mention, some of the registered disciples did choose to attack the official disciples, but the result was not so good, and those defensive disciples suffered at most a skin injury, and their skin was blue and their faces were swollen or something.

The disciples who tried to resist were miserable, their bones were broken in several places, and the screams of the other party at that time, Zhou Xingyu still remembers it vividly, as if it happened yesterday.

This also strengthened Zhou Xingyu's recognition of Song Qingfeng's words.

There was another thing that left a deep impression on Zhou Xingyu in this examination of the registered disciples.

Originally, according to the rules of the Xuanmen, Zhou Xingyu and Li Tong were going to participate in the examination, but Li Qingtai just opened his mouth and easily pushed away the examination of Zhou Xingyu and Li Tong in the door. And afterwards, there was also a notice from the door that the two of them had passed the examination and became official disciples.

Through this incident, Li Qingtai's status in the hearts of Zhou Xingyu and Li Tong instantly rose a lot.

Of course, Li Qingtai is also conditional for them to pass the assessment, after all, there is no free lunch in the world. As for the condition, the two of them should work hard to cultivate the mantra he gave to the two of them before, if they still can't meet his requirements by the time, the two of them will honestly go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to stay, and the identity of the official disciples will naturally be withdrawn.

After enjoying the benefits of formal disciples, the two were naturally reluctant to give up their status as formal disciples, but unfortunately Li Qingtai's requirements were not so easy to meet, take Zhou Xingyu as an example, but it took two full months to cultivate a trace of qi, and the subsequent cultivation was like ants crawling every day.

In the past, Zhou Xingyu was still a little confident in his talent, but through this incident, Zhou Xingyu had already begun to wonder if he was too stupid, so his cultivation speed was so slow, and he was not the material for practicing martial arts at all.

Zhou Xingyu wanted to give up several times, but remembering the situation at home that had just improved, Zhou Xingyu still silently chose to persevere. After all, every time I earn an extra piece of silver, the family's economic situation will be a little better, and my parents will be much easier.

It's a pity that in terms of cultivation formulas, even Li Qingtai couldn't give them the slightest guidance, everything can only rely on themselves, and even the introduction to the exercises is the foundation of martial arts taught by Zhou Xingyu with reference to the teachings in the sect, and he figured it out by himself.

Some time ago, when Wang Ye was out of the customs, Zhou Xingyu also asked the other party about his martial arts practice, and wanted to get some inspiration from it, but unfortunately he was very frustrated when he got the result.

Wang Ye's cultivation is different from his exercises, even where the energy is stored, the qi in Wang Ye's body is stored in the abdomen, while his is stored in the head.

When Wang Ye runs the exercises, a warm current will flow out of the dantian in his body and radiate to the limbs and hundreds of remains, and the flow of energy will greatly increase the strength and speed of the martial artist, making him more aggressive.

When the qi in Zhou Xingyu's body turned, he didn't have the feeling that the other party said at all, but he felt that his ears and eyes were clear, and he didn't feel anything else.

After discovering that he couldn't become a peerless master, Zhou Xingyu was lost for a while, but he quickly adjusted, after all, life still has to pass.

The only hope now is that Li Qingtai's requirements are not too high, otherwise he will have to collect the cover and leave.

Of course, it's not just himself who is worried about not being able to pass the assessment, Li Tong's situation is not optimistic, Zhou Xingyu heard Li Tong say before, until now he has not felt the sense of qi mentioned in the book, after learning about the other party's situation, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help but give birth to the idea that the two of them are brothers and sisters.

Zhou Xingyu and Li Tong have not tried daily penance, but unfortunately the effect is not ideal, or even worse, once Zhou Xingyu accidentally went crazy due to overloading the exercises for several days in a row, and fainted directly, if it weren't for Li Tong being next to him, coupled with Li Qingtai's superb medical skills, maybe Zhou Xingyu would have been finished.

That experience made Zhou Xingyu lie in bed for three or four days, and then he returned to normal under the dual treatment of the true qi in his body and Li Qingtai's medicine.

The previous adventure was also a choice made by Xingyu next week because the time was getting closer and closer.

But fortunately, he has successfully broken through to the second layer, and after that, as long as he cultivates on time every day to consolidate his cultivation.

As for Li Qingtai, after teaching Zhou Xingyu and Li Tong the formula, except for that time to help Zhou Xingyu heal his injuries, he never asked the two of them for half a point.

It's as if everything about the two of them has nothing to do with him, just holding the book and flipping through it over and over again every day. Every time he sees the shelves full of books in Li Qingtai's study, Zhou Xingyu thinks that if Li Qingtai is willing to be a scholar, it shouldn't be a big problem to gain fame.

Of course, the premise is that the content of the exam is health and medical skills.

After the breakthrough, Zhou Xingyu's depressed mood has improved a lot, although he doesn't know what Li Qingtai's requirements are, but he broke through to the second layer, no matter what, the chance of passing is much greater.

Glancing at the room where Li Tong was, Zhou Xingyu cautiously walked out of the room, after months of non-stop penance, it was time to relax.
