Originally, seeing Liu Xiaoxu's respectful look, the disciple surnamed Yuan had a smug face.

But when he heard the last sentence Liu Xiaoxu said, his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"You dare to insult my mother?" the disciple surnamed Yuan was shocked and angry.

"Why, you are only allowed to insult my master, and I am not allowed to insult your mother? Liu Xiaoxu shook his legs, looking like a hanger.

"You are looking for death!" A touch of murderous intent flashed on the face of the disciple surnamed Yuan, and the long sword in his hand was horizontal, as if he was going to make a move on Liu Xiaoxu in the next second.

Song Li took a step forward, held a sword to block Liu Xiaoxu behind him, and said coldly: "The Xianlan Sect explicitly prohibits private fights between disciples, but if Senior Brother Yuan insists on breaking the door rules, then I don't mind accompanying Senior Brother Yuan to live two tricks." ”

When Senior Brother Yuan heard this, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and after his face changed for a while, the hand holding the sword finally drooped.

I saw him snort coldly and said, "It's not worth breaking the door rules for the sake of you group of wastes who drive back to the peak, so I'll let you go for the time being." I am waiting to come here today to inform you that there will be a newcomer competition in January, and all the new inner disciples must be present. Let's go!"

After saying this, Senior Brother Yuan didn't say much, took the lead in sacrificing a sword light, and broke through the air.

Seeing that Senior Brother Yuan was gone, Han Liang and another disciple also sacrificed their sword lights.

Before leaving, Han Liang glanced back at Liu Xiaoxu, and said in a cold tone: "Little bastard, you don't need to be quick to speak now, after a month, the newcomer will be bigger, I will make you pay!"

As the three of them flew away with the sword light, Liu Xiaoxu retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Song Li: "Senior brother, why are these people so arrogant?"

Song Li said hatefully: "Aren't you still deceiving me to drive back to the peak without one? Hmph! They only dare to be so presumptuous when the master is away, if the master is on the mountain, borrow a few of their courage, and they will not dare to come here to spread wild." ”

"By the way, senior brother, this newcomer Dabi, what's going on?"

Song Li smiled bitterly: "All the new inner disciples of the Immortal Lan Sect, after half a year, they will have to participate in the newcomer competition and show what they have learned in half a year." This big contest is designed to motivate newcomers to practice hard, and you really want to participate. It's just that they didn't expect that in less than half a year, they Danfeng had new disciples who had cultivated to the realm of foundation building. ”

Liu Xiaoxu was silent.

Edgeworth Flying is a spell that can only be learned by cultivating disciples who have reached the foundation building period. Han Liang was able to fly with a sword, which showed that his cultivation had reached the foundation building stage.

It seems that I have to step up my cultivation as well.

As if he saw that Liu Xiaoxu was in a heavy mood, Song Li comforted: "Junior brother, listen to your longevity senior brother, your cultivation has reached the late stage of qi refining. It is very rare to be able to cultivate to such a point in just half a year. Even if you haven't reached the foundation building period, don't be too discouraged, after all, everyone's qualifications are different, and you can't force them. ”

“...... As for the newcomer Dabi in a month, you don't have any psychological burden, just do your best, anyway, we will return to the peak, and we have always been the most bottom-ranked existence in the Xianlan Sect. No matter whether the results of this newcomer competition are good or bad, everyone will not blame you, you just think of it as a training for yourself. ”

That tone seems to be not optimistic about Liu Xiaoxu's performance in the rookie competition a month later.

Liu Xiaoxu didn't say anything, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart that within this month, he had to raise his cultivation to the foundation building period, and he must not let outsiders underestimate them and return to the peak.

After going back, Liu Xiaoxu stepped up his cultivation every day, and in addition to refining the Quenching Spirit Pill, he locked himself in the house almost all day.

"The little junior brother has been cultivating day and night like this, I'm really afraid that before the newcomer can compete, he will exhaust his body first. In the bamboo forest hut, Song Li and Li Changshou drank together, and Song Li drank all the wine in the cup, worrying.

Li Changshou picked up the wine jug, refilled the wine for Song Li, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are a person, you just have too many things on your mind. The little junior brother is smart and clever, and he will be fine, so you can rest assured. ”

Song Li sighed, took another sip of the wine glass, and said leisurely: "In my opinion, the little junior brother seems to want to hit the foundation building period in this month. It's just that from the late stage of qi refining to the foundation building period, it seems that there is only one realm behind, but it is a huge gap. In the past, it is the sea and the sky, but there are also many people who are stuck in the realm of the Qi refining period all their lives. Now there is only one month left before the newcomer Dabi, and in such a short time, the junior brother will definitely not be able to reach the realm of foundation building. ”

With that, he tilted his neck, drank the wine in one gulp, picked up the flask and poured it himself.

"In fact, with the ordinary qualifications of the junior brother, he can cultivate to the late stage of qi cultivation in just half a year, which is already very good, you said this time, let's control back to the peak and not be at the bottom again......"

Li Changshou said with a smile: "Senior brother is so optimistic about our little junior brother, I think that although the junior brother has poor qualifications, he is eccentric and knows how to be flexible. ”

Song Li sighed: "I hope so." ”

The breeze blew, the bamboo forest swelled, and in the hut, the two raised their glasses and drank again.

Liu Xiaoxu was anxious.

Obviously, he has reached the peak of the late stage of qi refining, and the aura in the sea of qi is already in a state of overflow, but his cultivation is stuck in the bottleneck, and it is difficult to make an inch.

It's like being in the middle of the ocean, surrounded on all sides by the sea, with no end in sight. If you can see the coast, even if it is far away, it can be regarded as a reference, knowing how far you are from the goal.

But now, there is not even a reference. No matter how hard he tried, the bottleneck never showed any signs of loosening, which made Liu Xiaoxu feel that he was far away from a breakthrough, as if he was doing useless work.

Thinking that Han Liang had already entered the foundation building period and could fly with the sword, but he was still stuck in the late stage of qi refining, Liu Xiaoxu's heart couldn't calm down.

"I thought that if I refined the mid-grade quenching spirit pill, I would be able to quickly cultivate to the foundation building period, but I didn't expect that the bottleneck would be so difficult to break through. Liu Xiaoxu looked at the Zhongpin Quenching Pill placed on the table, wrinkled his head, and muttered quietly.

Suddenly, his heart moved.

Since taking one quenching elixir doesn't work, what about taking two at a time?"

If you take too much at one time, it is difficult for the medicinal power to be vented in time in the body, and the meridians cannot withstand the medicinal power.

Despite the danger, he couldn't swallow this breath when he thought of Han Liang's arrogant and smug face.

In the end, Liu Xiaoxu decided to give it a try and try it by taking two quenching pills.

As soon as the two quenching elixirs entered the stomach, a huge spiritual power instantly rushed into the meridians, rushing left and right in the meridians.

An unprecedented pain immediately swept through the body.

Liu Xiaoxu was so painful that cold sweat flowed down, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and meditated, concentrating on absorbing the medicinal power in the elixir.

In this way, it lasted for five full days before Liu Xiaoxu finally absorbed the medicinal power.

What surprised and delighted him was that the bottleneck that was originally solid was faintly showing signs of loosening, and this method was really effective!

Coming to this conclusion, Liu Xiaoxu was greatly excited.

So, he took the two quenching pills again and continued to meditate and cultivate.

Day after day......

And so it passed fifteen days......

Finally, in the early morning of the sixteenth day, Liu Xiaoxu broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and successfully entered the foundation building period!
