By the murmuring river, the boy clenched the small wooden sword in his hand and stared firmly at the white-haired man who had come from the sword.

"You have good roots, do you want to come with me?" said the white-haired man.

Although he was young, how could he not see the scenery of the whistling greenery? He was about to say yes, but first he heard a stubborn voice next to him, "Take me away!"

The owner of the voice is his playmate, and he is also the defeated subordinate who has just "fought with the sword" with him.

The boy is well aware of the stubbornness of his partners, such as today's "sword fight", he has lost count of how many times it is. But this partner must be stubborn because he lost once before, and he will not stop until he wins back.

The boy thought, then we can go and practice together.

He couldn't remember many of the details, but he still remembered the white-haired man's eyes. As clear as a stream, and as high as the sky.

The white-haired man looked at them with those eyes, looking at the two young children who had been inseparable since childhood, and the corners of his mouth were filled with meaningless smiles.

"I only take one apprentice. The white-haired man said.

He repeated: "Both of you are good, but I'll only take one." ”

What to do?, the boy thought.

But he only had time to think about it for a moment, and the next moment, he was pushed into the river.

Boom!

The sound of water exploding.

His friend, the friend who played with him with his bare ass, and the friend who was just a child, didn't hesitate to push him into the water!

Through the rippling water, he saw the expressionless face of his "friend" and the always calm eyes of the white-haired man.

Then, a frost-white sword light rushed into the sky.

His little friend and the white-haired man were wrapped in the gorgeous and dazzling sword light, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, coming and going suddenly.

As the legends of countless immortals asked, rubbing shoulders with pathetic and mediocre mortals.

Left, can't let go, can't believe, wake up from countless midnight dreams!

......

Jiang Wang opened his eyes, and the dark night wrapped around him, and also wrapped him. The dormitory was exceptionally quiet, and Ling He and Du Yehu breathed a long breath with a special rhythm.

Jiang Wang knew that they were practicing the Basic Tuna Method. Although the foundation is superficial, it can only be taught by inner disciples. It is a century-old foundation laying technique of Zhuangguo Daoyuan.

There was not much suspense in the inner courtyard of the Fenglin City Taoist Academy, and Ling He, Du Yehu, and Zhao Rucheng became the new inner disciples, and their names were entered into the Taoist jade enshrined in the worship hall.

It's just that before the Dao vein appears, it can't be regarded as a formal Mai Taoist.

The Kaimai Pill is hard to find, and even if the Fenglin City Daoist Academy is enshrined by the state, it is impossible to give it to every disciple for free. As the best batch of disciples of the outer sect to be selected into the inner gate, they generally have to survive at least a year and accumulate enough merit before they are eligible to obtain the Kaimai Pill.

Every year, the outer door contribution is the first, and only then can the contribution be exchanged for a Kaimai Dan. This is a special encouragement for the outer disciples of the Taoist Academy. So since Jiang Wang is out of this session, no one else can copy his path.

Even so, Jiang Wang was also fighting for his life, and only then did he accumulate the contribution of the Kaimai Pill in exchange. And now that the entire Maple Forest City is a hundred miles away, there is no other Xishan thief to exterminate.

Worship the outer gate of the temple and practice hard, defeating countless competitors to enter the inner gate. After entering the inner gate, he continued to work hard to cultivate, and at the same time accumulated task contributions, and finally received the Open Pulse Pill and stepped into the transcendent. This is the way of a normal cultivator in Zhuang Kingdom. It can also be regarded as a visible and smooth road.

Compared to those who were born with an outward Dao vein and directly entered the inner gate to start practicing the Dao Fa, these teenagers who took the outer gate promotion route did have to waste too much time.

The path of cultivation is slow and slow. This was the reason why Jiang Wang fought to complete the task when he was at the outer gate, and it was also the reason why Fang Pengju was unable to curb his greed. No one wants to wait that many more years!

Therefore, Jiang Wang understood Fang Pengju's desire, but he couldn't forgive his means.

A martial artist like them, whether it was Ling He or Du Yehu, who would have less desire for transcendence than Fang Pengju?

Jiang Wang's father once said: People are determined by their choices. Jiang Wangshen thought so.

And he was stuck in a difficult choice.

As we all know, the cultivator of the nine grades is respected by the first grade, and the nine grades are regarded as the beginning of the transcendental. And the mark of the achievement of the nine products, that is, the achievement of the Dao Xuan, the Dao Yuan self-generated.

Practitioners have gone through an incalculable history, and it is natural that this transcendent first step has been studied in great detail and depth.

The spine is regarded as the dragon of the human body, and the Dao veins are hidden in the spine. After the Dao vein is revealed, the cultivator can use the power of qi and blood to feed back the Dao vein, thus generating the Dao Yuan. The Dogen is the foundation of all Dao Dharma, and it is also the foundation of transcendence.

Taking Jiang Wang's earth worm vein as an example, every time the "earth earthworm" is mobilized, it needs to mobilize considerable qi and blood power, and only after implementing the entire spine dragon can a Dao Yuan be generated. And a cultivator of Jiang Wang's level can do pulse cultivation at most twice a day, accumulating two Dao Yuan. It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that the body doesn't allow it. The consumption of qi and blood is too great, and the source of damage hurts the nerves, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After accumulating Dao Yuan, the next step is to control the Dao Yuan, and list the corresponding formations completely according to the foundation formation diagram.

As a cultivator who had already opened the pulse, the Maple Forest City Daoist Academy naturally taught the foundation laying array diagram. It is the Guiyuan array that is common to Zhuang Guo, with a total of eighty-one arrays. In other words, if there was not the slightest mistake in listing the foundation formation diagram, it would take him at least forty-one days, almost a month and a half, to become a nine-rank cultivator in the true sense. (Jiang Wang's previous accumulation of two Dao Yuan has been exhausted in the battle.) ）

Of course, Jiang Wang had nothing to embarrass before this, but now that he accidentally entered the realm of too illusory, he inherited Zuo Guanglie's "Blessed Land of Cave True Ruins", and unlocked the corresponding sword platform and acting platform, so he also had new troubles.

Yesterday, after he got the Guiyuan Formation Diagram, in order to test the effect of the platform, he put all the 1,850 points of work into the deduction of the foundation formation diagram. In the end, he obtained the incomparably complicated Zhou Tian Star Dou Array Diagram. There are three hundred and sixty-five formations in the entire foundation laying array!

Not to mention the difficulty of listing Zhou Tianxing's Dou Array Diagram, even if he can perfectly reproduce the Foundation Formation Diagram, it will take at least half a year to generate the first Dao Xuan.

After that, nine grades to eight grades need to establish three road rotations, and eight products to seven products need to establish nine road rotations.

That's a long time!

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Array was undoubtedly stronger than the Guiyuan Array, but the long time it took to lay the foundation was exactly what Jiang Wang hesitated about. He needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible in order to be able to catch up with those cultivators whose innate Dao veins were outward, but time waited for no one.

But after waking up from his dream tonight, he had already made his choice.

Jiang Wang closed his eyes and urged the only Dao Yuan generated by the pulse yesterday, moving slowly among his spine. In the vague perceptual world that controls Dogen, it is a boundless vast, boundless space.

Because the great dragon inhabits this place, it is also called the Spine Sea.

But in the word of mouth of practitioners, it has an even louder name - Tongtian Palace!

Running through the Tongtian Palace and opening the gate of heaven and earth is the transformation from a beginner cultivator to an intermediate cultivator.

In the boundless Tongtian Palace, a Dao Yuan was as small as a speck of dust. But he did not follow the waves, but firmly and stubbornly implemented Jiang Wang's will. Moving, moving, and finally hovering to the ideal place.

That was the position of the Sun Star in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array Diagram.

When this Dao Yuan hovered, Jiang Wang seemed to see the eyes of the white-haired cultivator when he was young again.

He will never forget when he was pushed into the water.

Those eyes seemed to say to him—

"The path of cultivation is to fight. ”
