In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed, and it has been a year since I participated in the introductory trial.

A lot of things have happened in the past year, Zhou Xingyu watched the fellow disciples who had participated in the assessment leave one by one, and some of them felt that they had no hope of being promoted because they had not been examined, and they voluntarily applied for miscellaneous disciples, and went to various places to deal with the mundane affairs of the Xuanmen. Some quit Qixuanmen after paying a lot of gold and silver for fear of fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, and returned to normal life.

Some died in the struggle because of the battle with the Red Refining Gate.

Of the dozen or so disciples who entered at the same time, there are only two or three left now.

Even Wang Ye, who is a true disciple, has been injured many times, and even a few times he was seriously injured and had to go back and forth to Spring Valley to recuperate, but Zhou Xingyu personally helped him treat him, although it was for Li Qingtai.

By the way, because of Li Qingtai's selfless teaching to them in terms of medical skills, Zhou Xingyu's current medical skills have been somewhat successful.

Only now did Zhou Xingyu understand why Song Qingfeng told his father that he wanted to take him to the sect entrance examination, and his father hesitated. Before leaving, Uncle Song would always tell him that safety was the most important thing.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, and their lives are as thin as paper, even if it refers to the great faction of the rivers and lakes like Xuanmen.

Fortunately, Wang Ye is still alive, Li Tong is fine, and the two friends who can play with him are still safe.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingyu's heart felt a sense of gratitude to Li Qingtai.

If it weren't for Li Qingtai, I am afraid that he would be more than lucky.

Anyone in this river and lake can die, is he Zhou Xingyu an exception?

Because of safety reasons, Zhou Xingyu was very satisfied with the work of Rejuvenation Valley, at least until the Xuanmen Gate was destroyed, as long as he stayed in Rejuvenation Valley, he would not encounter any dangerous things.

The only bad thing is that the time for the test is getting closer and closer, if he can't pass the test, Zhou Xingyu believes that both himself and Li Tong will be expelled from the valley by Li Qingtai without hesitation. So in the past six months, both Zhou Xingyu and Li Tong have been very crazy, even if they know that they can't do it quickly, even if they know that penance may be harmful and unprofitable, they still choose to do penance regardless of everything.

"Li Tong, Zhou Xingyu came to my study."

A flat voice sounded in the ears of the two, and Zhou Xingyu's body suddenly stiffened.

"Let's go." Li Tong got up from the bed and said in a low voice.

It can be seen that his mood is not high.

"yes, you have to face it." Zhou Xingyu sighed in his heart, got up and followed behind Li Tong.

"Ah Xing, look away, what are you doing with your head down, I'm worse than you, I must be the first to be expelled from the valley." The corners of Li Tong's mouth twitched slightly, trying to squeeze out a smile, but unfortunately, he couldn't succeed in the end. He could only pat Zhou Xingyu's shoulder with his hand.

In this way, the two of them went one after the other, and soon came to the outside of Li Qingtai's study.

"Teacher." The two bowed outside the door.

This year, because of Li Qingtai, the two of them were fortunate to be relieved of the tasks that every beginner disciple had to do, except for occasionally helping the disciples in the sect to deal with some simple injuries, both of them had a very comfortable life.

The two of them sincerely thanked Li Qingtai in their hearts, and the teacher called sincerely and from the bottom of their hearts.

"Well, I gave you a year to cultivate, now let me see the results, which of you will come first?" Li Qingtai put down the book in his hand and said to the two with an expressionless face.

The bodies of the two stiffened slightly, and in the end, Li Tong took the initiative to stand up.

"Teacher, I'll do it first."

Li Tong stood respectfully in front of Li Qingtai.

Looking at Li Tong standing in front of Li Qingtai, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.

This year, the two get along day and night, Zhou Xingyu is naturally clear about Li Tong's cultivation, when it comes to the madness of cultivation, maybe Li is not as crazy as himself, but when it comes to hard work, he is better than himself, he will occasionally chat with Wang Ye, and he will relax appropriately every once in a while.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day, Li Tong occasionally helped the disciples of the Xuanmen Sect to treat their injuries, and almost threw all the time on it, and in the past six months, even the time for sleeping has been reduced to two hours, and Zhou Xingyu doesn't know how he survived.

It's a pity that this thing doesn't seem to look at who works harder, although Zhou Xingyu's cultivation speed is not fast, but at least he can feel that unique internal qi, and there is no big problem with cultivation.

Li Tong worked so hard, but he didn't achieve any results at all, as far as Zhou Xingyu knew, so far Li Tong hadn't felt that breath, and I had to say that fate made people.

Although Zhou Xingyu has some achievements, he has no bottom in his heart, this year's cultivation, he will cultivate the exercises given by Li Qingtai to the second level, and the subsequent entry can be said to be worse than ant climbing. It's not much better than Li Tong.

If the qi in the body was only as thin as spider silk before, then after entering the second layer, it became thicker to the thickness of a hair, but although this thing has become thicker, it doesn't seem to be useful, unlike the internal qi of other people in the door, which can be used to improve one's strength, speed, and endurance.

Whether he can pass Li Qingtai's pass today, Zhou Xingyu has no bottom in his heart, everything can only depend on the will of heaven, or how high Li Qingtai demands them are.

Thinking of the uncertain future, he only felt that his heart was going up and down, and the whole person was restless.

"Sit down when you're ready." Li Qingtai pointed to the seat in front of him and said to Li Tong.

"Yes, Teacher." Li Tong stubbornly sat on the chair of the other party in Li Qingtai.

Behind Li Qingtai is still the quaint bookshelf, but there are more books on it, and some are even a little damaged, this is all collected through the finger Xuanmen in the past year, every book that can be placed on the bookshelf is very precious, and even Li Qingtai specially said that without his consent, the two should not touch anything on the shelf.

"Hmm, reach over." Li Qingtai said flatly, it was such a simple sentence, Li Tong's body seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body stiffened.

It took a long time before he put his hand on the table tremblingly.

"Luck, let me see what you've achieved this year."

Li Qingtai's hand was on Li Tong's words, and he said in his mouth, closing his eyes slightly at the same time.

Li Tong hurriedly followed Li Qingtai's instructions to run "Yimu Decision", and after a quarter of an hour or so, Li Tong's face began to turn red, Li Qingtai let go of his hand, and looked at Li Tong indifferently, his expression was calm, Li Tong and Li Qingtai didn't notice it, and a trace of disappointment flashed quickly in each other's eyes.

Being looked at by Li Qingtai, Li Tong, who was originally flushed, instantly sweated on his forehead, flowing down his cheeks, he knew that he must have disappointed Li Qingtai, but this was not what he hoped for.

If he could, he didn't even care about gambling with his life, he just wanted to gain something in the exercises, but unfortunately, he didn't seem to have a chance with the exercises given by Li Qingtai, and it was useless to cultivate.

At this moment, Li Tong suddenly remembered a word that Zhou Xingyu had said before.

Insulator.

For this exercise, I am an insulator, and I can't touch it even though it's close at hand.

The test failed to meet Li Qingtai's requirements, and Li Tong was ready to be punished.

"Okay, you go to the side first, and then test Zhou Xingyu."

Li Tong, who had been looking down and didn't dare to look at Li Qingtai, suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Qingtai, and saw the still flat expression on the other party's face, and suddenly became a little overwhelmed, and finally a thousand words turned into a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, Lord of the Valley." At this moment, Li Tong didn't even have the courage to call the other party's teacher anymore, got up and lowered his head and stood up, and then walked away silently.

Looking at the vacant seat, Li Qingtai pointed, his eyes looked at Zhou Xingyu, and his tone was a little more flat than before.

"It's your turn."

Seeing that Li Qingtai didn't scold Li Tong for not making progress, Zhou Xingyu's heart finally relaxed.

"Yes, Teacher!" With a sound in his mouth, Zhou Xingyu walked quickly to his seat.

Seeing Zhou Xingyu sitting down, Li Qingtai said again: "Stretch out your hand." ”

Li Qingtai grabbed Zhou Xingyu's right hand on the table.

In an instant, Zhou Xingyu only felt a cold and piercing coldness rising from his wrist, which quickly spread throughout his body, and his body couldn't help but shiver, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand from the table.

"Don't move, sit down!" Li Qingtai frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhou Xingyu's actions just now.

In order to prevent Zhou Xingyu from being unable to bear his cold and breaking free again, the strength in Li Qingtai's hand suddenly increased a few points.

"Yes!" Enduring the biting cold in his hand, Zhou Xingyu immediately sat down upright.

I don't know if it was affected by the cold air from Li Qingtai, the internal qi in Zhou Xingyu's body, which was as thin as a hair, actually moved on its own, and quickly ran around Zhou Xingyu's whole body, but in an instant, Zhou Xingyu felt that the cold in his body was swept away.

"It seems that this internal qi is not as useless as imagined." Zhou Xingyu thought comfortingly.

"It's!" The changes in Zhou Xingyu's body naturally couldn't hide from Li Qingtai's eyes, but he snorted softly, his breathing instantly became short, and even his originally indifferent expression began to change.

"Okay, good, quick, quickly follow the mantra to run the exercises!" Li Qingtai said almost orderly, and at the same time, the cold air in his hand continued to increase, and in just a few moments, a thin layer of ice appeared on Zhou Xingyu's arm.

"Yes!" Zhou Xingyu naturally didn't dare to be careless, and instantly started the "Yimu Decision", after Zhou Xingyu ran the exercises independently, the air flow in his body instantly became three or four times faster, and the thin ice on Zhou Xingyu's arm melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Qingtai saw everything in his eyes, his eyes instantly became fanatical, feeling the energy from Zhou Xingyu's arm, he couldn't help laughing loudly, it was an indescribable pleasure, as if he had seen the light in the night.

"Hahaha, yes, that's how it feels, that's what I've dreamed of, I can't ask for strength, good, good!"

"Teacher, let go, I can't support it!" Zhou Xingyu shouted desperately.

I saw that his face turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the thin ice on his arm had spread to Zhou Xingyu's chest at some point, and it was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It turned out that I didn't know when, the internal qi in Zhou Xingyu's body had been exhausted, and without internal strength, it was naturally impossible for Zhou Xingyu to resist the cold qi from Li Qingtai.

Hearing Zhou Xingyu's scream, Li Qingtai came to his senses.

Hurriedly took his hand away from Zhou Xingyu's hand, Li Qingtai quickly turned around and came to Zhou Xingyu's back, put his hands behind his back, and after a while, Li Qingtai withdrew his hands, and Zhou Xingyu's face improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Good! Not bad! Ah Xing, you will be my personal disciple in the future, and I will tell you all the mantras of the exercises after a while. At this time, Li Qingtai's attitude towards Zhou Xingyu has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, you must know that Li Qingtai has always called the two of them by their full names before.

"Great, thank you, teacher!" Zhou Xingyu said happily, he didn't expect that he actually passed the test, how could he not let himself be ecstatic.

"You didn't disappoint the teacher, the teacher doesn't have any requirements for you, the only requirement is that you have to work hard to cultivate the mantra I gave you, can you do it?"

"Yes." Zhou Xingyu replied very quickly, although it was not clear why Li Qingtai had to learn this seemingly useless exercise by himself, but he didn't care about it, as long as he could stay in the Rejuvenation Valley, everything would not be a problem.

"As for your ......," Li Qingtai's gaze looked at Li Tong on the side.
