When the first rays of sunlight shine through the clouds in the morning, a warmth slowly rises over the land.

At this time, half a month has passed since the outer door test.

"Whew."

Lin Beichen, who was sitting in the middle of the room, slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbidity.

"It seems that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy by simply running the exercises is too slow, and we have to think of other ways." A trace of helplessness flashed in Lin Beichen's eyes.

If he was cultivating a high-level exercise, then his speed of absorbing spiritual energy would definitely go up to a higher level.

But it's a pity that the Qingyun Jue he cultivated was just an ordinary human-level intermediate technique. This was still given by the outer gate when he worshiped the Xuanyuan Sect.

He knew that the true advanced exercises were at the inner gate. It can be said that only when you enter the inner gate can you really belong to the disciples of Xuanyuan Sect.

"Drop, it has been detected that the exercises practiced by the host are garbage in garbage."

"Now issue a task for the host."

"Please ask the host to break through to the first level of the Spirit Vein Realm."

"Task reward: A copy of the cultivation method of the Tianyan Dao Sutra."

"The time limit of the task is half a year, and if the time limit is exceeded, it will be regarded as a failure of the task, please complete it as soon as possible."

After half a month, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in Lin Beichen's mind again.

“？？？”

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched slightly.

He had been cultivating hard for half a month, but he was still stuck at the fourth layer of the Quenching Spirit Realm, and he was already worried about how to return to his original realm in one year. It's good that the system has cut him in half the time.

However, what kind of exercise is this "Tianyan Dao Sutra"? The name sounds pretty awesome.

"System, what level of cultivation is this Tianyan Dao Sutra?" Lin Beichen said with some curiosity.

"Hello host, the Tianyan Dao Sutra is a stepless exercise." The system mechanically replied.

“...”

Lin Beichen was speechless, the difficulty of the task was so high, but the reward was an unordered exercise.

However, logically speaking, the system even has such an anti-heaven pill as the Heavenly Replenishing Pill, so there may be some way to reward the exercises.

Thinking of this, a trace of anticipation rose in his heart.

"Looks like we're going to have to go outside and get some training." Lin Beichen secretly made up his mind.

While the outside world is extremely dangerous, it is also full of opportunities.

The flowers in the greenhouse are not exposed to wind and rain, but at the same time, they lack sunlight!

"Pedal"

There was a knock at the door.

With a creaking sound, the wooden door was gently pushed open, and the girl slowly walked into the room.

"Xi'er, I was just going to find you." A hint of joy flashed in Lin Beichen's eyes.

Now he has long since disappeared.

"What's wrong? Brother Beichen misses Xi'er? Ye Lingxi smiled.

"Hehe, I just want to say, I feel that cultivation in the sect is too slow, I want to go out to the outside world for a walk, I just want to say goodbye to you." Lin Beichen said with a smile.

"Huh? Where are you going? Ye Lingxi put away the smile on her face and asked with some concern.

"I don't know yet, so let's go out and see if we can meet any opportunities." Lin Beichen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

To be honest, he didn't know exactly where he was going. He only knew that if he stayed in the sect, at the current cultivation speed, within half a year, he might not even be able to recover to the seventh layer of the Quenching Spirit Realm, let alone the first layer of the Spirit Vein Realm.

Only by going out to experience can there be a slight opportunity.

"Then I'm going too." The look of worry on Ye Lingxi's face was even worse.

She didn't want Lin Beichen to be the same as before.

"The outside world is too dangerous, if you follow me, I can't protect you." Lin Beichen shook his head and refused.

"Please, Brother Beichen, let me follow you." Ye Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Beichen's arm and began to be coquettish.

Lin Beichen felt the strange sensation coming from his arm, and his heart was a little hot.

This little girl seems to have grown up!

"No, you stay in the sect well, and when I am strong in the future, I will take you with me." Lin Beichen refused with a serious face.

"Brother Beichen dislikes Xi'er and gets in the way, Xi'er understands." Ye Lingxi let go of his hands, and a layer of mist began to fill his eyes, and then he turned to leave.

"Ugh." Lin Beichen looked at Ye Lingxi's departing back and sighed helplessly.

He knew how dangerous the outside world was, and he didn't want this little girl to go on adventures with him.

..........

The northern part of the Xuanling Dynasty, the Demon Cloud Swamp.

After some careful testing, Lin Beichen sat down next to a giant tree to rest.

Just yesterday, when he was passing by the forest, he inadvertently provoked a demon beast of the fifth layer of the Quenching Spirit Realm, and as a result, the demon beast kept chasing him. It wasn't until he broke into the swamp that the monster didn't reluctantly stop where it was.

"Alas, it's really unlucky, just out of the tiger's mouth, and into the wolf's den." Lin Beichen leaned against the corner of his mouth, and a trace of bitterness hung up.

He had been in the swamp for a day, and had been stuck in it during that time. Fortunately, at a critical moment, he grabbed a branch above the swamp and used the branch to get out.

"Is there anyone, help."

At this time, a faint cry for help came.

Lin Beichen suddenly felt alarmed and stood up, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

In the wild, humans are more terrifying than monsters! After all, there is one more thing that humans have than demon beasts, and that is spiritual intelligence.

"Help, I'm still a virgin, I don't want to die yet."

The faint cry for help was heard again.

Lin Beichen hesitated for a moment, and his footsteps slowly walked in the direction where the voice came from.

The cries for help became clearer and clearer.

A moment later, a fat man with only his upper body appeared in Lin Beichen's sight.

"Big brother, help me." Seeing someone coming, the trapped fat man shouted with joy.

Lin Beichen didn't pay attention to the fat man's plea for help in front of him, but his feet were slightly apart, and he looked around vigilantly.

Seeing that Lin Beichen was silent, the fat man was so interested that he closed his mouth.

At this time, he was trapped in a swamp, although he was very anxious in his heart, but if he accidentally annoyed Lin Beichen in front of him, then he would have to wait for death.

After a while, Lin Beichen looked at the fat man after making sure that there was no trace of anyone else around.

"Who are you?" Lin Beichen said slowly.

"Big brother, I am the eldest young master of the Yuan family in the nearby Demon Cloud City, my name is Yuan Kai." The fat man said anxiously, and then he was worried that Lin Beichen would be afraid, and then he spoke again: "Big brother, don't worry, I have no malicious intentions, help me up, I will definitely repay you." ”

After Lin Beichen hesitated for a moment, he picked up a broken branch the size of a fist next to him and stretched it out towards the fat man.

"Thank you, big brother, a good man gave birth to eight children." Seeing this, Yuan Kai hurriedly grabbed the branch handed over, and there were words in his mouth.

“...”

The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched slightly, and then he suddenly dragged Yuan Kai out of the swamp with a sudden force in his hand, and then threw the branch to the ground angrily.

"Ahh

I heard the fat man shout, and then he fell heavily to the ground with the branch.

"Why is the eldest brother so rude, can't he be light?" The fat man rubbed his buttocks, struggled to stand up, and looked at Lin Beichen with resentment in his eyes.

"I don't have a Taoist companion yet!" Lin Beichen glanced at him angrily.

"Wow, big brother, you are so handsome and chic, you don't have a Taoist couple? This is simply unreasonable. Yuan Kai looked so obscene that he came to Lin Beichen's side and said with a smile: Do you want the little brother to introduce you to one?

"Get out." The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched, and he spit out a word lightly.

This fat man is really a bit obscene, and he knew that the cry for help just now should have been ignored.

"Don't big brother, I know an Oiran in the Qinglou, the thief is beautiful, you must like it, big brother." The fat man put his arm around Lin Beichen's shoulders and whispered.

"Put your hands down." Lin Beichen glanced at the fat hand on his shoulder, and then said lightly: "Let me ask you, what kind of place is this?" ”

"Hey, big brother, don't be angry." Yuan Kai let go of his hand with a smile on his face, and then said solemnly: "This place is called Demon Cloud Swamp, it is a natural swamp, it is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you may fall into the swamp like I did just now. ”

"Oh? Now that you know the danger, what is the purpose of your visit? Lin Beichen looked puzzled.

He also thought that the fat man in front of him was the same as him, and he accidentally broke in, it seems that there may be some mystery here.
