"Senior Sister Xia, please accept this pill, your cultivation is in the Great Perfection of Qi refining, only one step away from stepping into the foundation building period, with the help of this pill, it will be like a tiger with wings, I believe that with Senior Sister Xia's comprehension and spiritual body, you should be able to get what you want." Besides, we are in the countryside, so you shouldn't refuse, and I will have to bother my sister to do laundry and cook for me in the future, so this should be the remuneration I paid in advance. Lu Qi pointed to his slightly yellowed robe and said sincerely.

Xia Ying looked at Lu Qi's yellowed robe with pure and immaculate eyes, and laughed: "Senior Brother Lu, this dress hasn't been washed for many days, and the white ones have been worn yellow by you, you quickly go back and change into new clothes, and I'll wash them for you." ”

Lu Qi was still holding the Tsukidan in his hand, and said: "I won't tell you, this dress hasn't been washed since the moment I entered the door, it's probably been more than two months, and you can take this pill, I've been stained for a while,"

"Okay then," Xia Ying timidly stretched out her jade hand, took the pill from Lu Qi's hand, and put it in her pocket.

Lu Qi saw that Xia Ying didn't even have a storage bag, she must be poor and destitute in Xiuzhen Academy, and couldn't help but ask again: "Senior sister is young this year, why doesn't she even have a storage bag?"

Xia Ying glanced at Zhang Qing and said shyly with her head down: "I entered the Xiuzhen Academy at the age of eighteen, and it has been just two years now, and now I am twenty years old, and you, Senior Sister Zhang Qing, are now twenty-one years old; ”

"Fifty?" Lu Qi's eyes widened, thinking that he had worked here for two months, and he had only managed to get five lower-grade spirit stones with the merit value, and a storage bag would cost fifty lower-grade spirit stones, which was really ridiculously expensive.

"Then what about the storage ring, how many spirit stones do you need?" Lu Qi shook the storage ring in his hand and asked.

Xia Ying and Zhang Qing looked at Lu Qi's storage ring together, surprised, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity about Lu Qi's origin.

Zhang Qing hurriedly replied: "The storage ring is something that only exists in the Jindan period, we don't know its price at all, and we never dare to expect such a rare and valuable thing."

Xia Ying blushed and said shyly: "Senior Brother Lu, go and change this dirty clothes, bring them to me to clean, and then I will return them to Senior Brother Lu." Xia Ying felt that she had obtained such a valuable pill for no reason, and wanted to repay Lu Qi as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow, I'll just take this robe, and besides, the academy rules don't allow you to wear other clothes," Lu Qi shook his head and said.

"Well, then I'll be washing your clothes tomorrow," Xia Ying turned to Zhang Qing and said, "Let's go back, Senior Brother Lu, you can rest early." ”

After Lu Qi said goodbye to Xia Ying and Zhang Qing one after another, he returned to his room.

Lu Qi suddenly thought that Zhou Cong seemed to have knocked on his door, so he walked into Zhou Cong's room instead.

Zhou Cong's room is located on the west side of the courtyard, the east side is the room of the female disciples, the west side is the room of the male disciples, row by row, there are dozens of them, because most of the outer disciples are in the qi refining period, and there are also some in the foundation building period; Lu Qi learned from the mouth of the old man of the five elements that in terms of longevity, the longevity of the qi refining period is about 75 years old, the longevity of the foundation building period is about 150 years old, the longevity of the Jindan period is 300 years old, and so on, every time you improve a realm, your lifespan will be doubled, this is the reason why everyone wants to cultivate the truth, cultivate to the extreme, you can live forever。

If you enter the Jindan period before the age of 30, then your appearance will basically remain in the state of your youth, of course, if you go through some years, your appearance will still slowly age, such as Dean Situ Hao is because he is too old, and his appearance begins to grow old slowly.

And many of the outer disciples are in the Qi refining period, only a small part is the foundation building period, due to the limitation of Shouyuan, many of them are old and dead in the Xiuzhen Academy, the monks in the foundation building period will live longer, if they can't step into the Jindan period, then they will die when the longevity is exhausted, this is the fanaticism shown by the monks in order to improve their cultivation. So far, after so many years, there are not too many outer disciples left, plus there is no way out of the Xiuzhen Academy, some outer disciples will choose to commit suicide because they can't stand some oppression and harsh treatment because they are desperate in their hearts, and this is the person who died unnaturally.

What's more, some demons will be generated, and they will become crazy or mentally ill, such as crazy or arrogant people, they will be killed on the spot by the elders or the dean, and there will be no bones left.

Generally, those who can stay in the outer disciples' academy for more than ten years are extremely tough people in their hearts, and their comprehension is extremely poor, and their cultivation has not improved in the slightest, and they can persist until their longevity is exhausted;

This is the cruel law of the 'Outer Disciples' Academy, no one can violate it, running away is also death, challenging is also death, after all, it is difficult to escape death.

Lu Qi was deeply trapped in the law, unable to resist, and could only bear it silently. Soon arrived in front of Zhou Cong's room, knocked on his door, and Zhou Cong's lazy voice came out: "What are you looking for me so late?"

"I'm Lu Qi, Captain Zhou, you seem to have gone to me in the afternoon?" After all, Zhou Cong is the captain, the boss of the outer disciples, and he can be regarded as a leader, Lu Qi has to respect his people on the surface, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he said respectfully.

"I'm looking for you for something, it's too late today, I'm a little tired, I'll tell you tomorrow, get out of here!" Zhou Cong shouted impatiently.

"Yes, Captain. Lu Qi obediently retreated and returned to his room.

Lu Qi didn't sleep again that night, but meditated cross-legged all night, and when he opened his eyes the next day, he felt refreshed, but his stomach was a little hungry, and he said, "Go out and get something to eat," and he walked out of the door.

Since the monks in the foundation building period can absorb the aura of heaven and earth to replenish the energy required by the body, sometimes they can not eat for a week, and the monks in the qi refining period eat more frequently than in the foundation building period.

Lu Qi walked out of the door, the sky was a little gray, and it seemed that it was going to rain, so he went to Zhou Cong to ask what he had to say. Along the way, he met a lot of disciples who were talking about the outer door list, Lu Qi thought to himself, could it be related to this matter?

Lu Qi staggered for a while and arrived in front of Zhou Cong's door, knocked on his door, and Zhou Cong's lazy voice came out: "Come in." ”

Lu Qi pushed the door in, and what caught his eye was the simple furnishings, a wooden table, two small benches, and a tea set on the stool, I didn't expect Zhou Cong to have such a hobby as drinking tea, at this time, a very mediocre-looking woman was bringing a basin of water to Zhou Cong, and after waiting for Zhou Cong to wash his face, he waved his hand to let the female disciple withdraw.

Zhou Cong smiled and said, "Just sit down, don't you drink tea?"

Lu Qi sat on the small bench and asked, "I'm not used to drinking tea, what did Captain Zhou do with me last night?"

"You should know about the outer door list, our outer door disciples count me and there are currently a total of 78 people, and there are only five places in the outer door list every year, these top five can cultivate with heart without doing any chores, and the spirit stone can receive as much as five yuan per month, are you interested in this outer door list? Zhou Cong said bluntly to Lu Qi.

When Lu Qi heard that the outer door list actually had these benefits, he couldn't help but be moved, thought for a moment, and said, "Please arrange it for Captain Zhou, I want to participate in the selection of the outer door list." ”

Zhou Cong nodded with satisfaction, as if he knew the result, and then said with a smile: "I hope that after you successfully enter the outer door list, I will talk to you about an exchange." ”

"Exchange, please make it clear to Captain Zhou that if Lu can help Captain Zhou, he will never refuse. "Sure enough, Zhou Cong must have something else going on, let's look at what he is doing, it is not wrong to talk about cooperation, and Zhou Cong is not bad for himself during this time, and he is not bad, Lu Qi said in his heart.

Zhou Cong got up and went out to look at it, and after making sure that there was no one left and right, he came in and closed the door, locked it, and raised his hand to make a simple prohibition to isolate the sound, and made these arrangements.

Zhou Congcai said slowly: "I am from Yanghui Town, I entered the Xiuzhen Academy at the age of eighteen, at that time I was a ninth-level Qi refining cultivator, and I had a spiritual vein physique, which was just enough to qualify as a disciple of this academy. I actually came to this monastery to take revenge!" His eyes shot a cold light from a deep light, and then he said: "When I was fifteen years old, my father, mother, and sister were all killed, because I went to the town to run errands and escaped. ”

When Lu Qi heard that Zhou Cong was in such a situation, he couldn't help but feel deep sympathy, and continued to ask: "Then do you know who killed this, why did you kill your whole family?"

"I inquired around and learned that my family has a book of cultivation exercises, called 'Zhou Tiangong', which is the method of running Zhou Tian through the meridians. Zhou Cong said word by word.

"Zhou Tiangong?" , Lu Qi thought to himself, 'Isn't it the practice of walking for a week that I have learned, is there still an ancestral inheritance in his family?'

"That thief knew that my family had this 'Zhou Tiangong' secret book, so he went to ask for it. My father is a stubborn and stubborn person, and he will definitely not give it, so the two fought, at that time, my father's cultivation was only the fifth layer of qi refining, and the thief already had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi refining, my father was killed in an instant, and my mother went to help in order to save my father, but was also killed by that beast, at that time my sister had just turned thirteen years old, and that beast was really inferior to a beast. Zhou Cong said this, his eyes were full of tears, his voice was hoarse, and he was full of grief.

"When I got home, I saw the bodies of my father and mother, and the death was horrible, and all my internal organs were shattered by the aura. I hurriedly went to the back room to look for my sister, and the moment I saw my sister, I was stunned," at this time, Zhou Cong choked and cried: "My sister was lying naked on the ground, her immature face was swollen, her lower body was bloody, there were many scratches on her body, and her whole body was covered with blood. She was only thirteen years old, and she was still a child, and she was raped and brutally killed by that beast. ”

Lu Qi silently listened to Zhou Cong's story, was silent for a long time, deeply sympathetic to Zhou Cong's tragic experience, and gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: "This beast is really miserable, so does Captain Zhou know who he is?"
