The honest elder was quite satisfied with Lu Qi's performance in the assessment that day, and he was not humble in the face of the strong man, and carefully looked at Lu Qi's cultivation, and when he reached the early stage of foundation building, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and his attitude towards Lu Qi was even more amiable, and he said in his heart: "Although this kid is a miscellaneous vein, his cultivation speed is amazing, and he can't be reasoned with usual. ’

"You give me the badge, and I'll exchange it for some spirit stones for you," Zhang Zhihui said to Lu Qi with his hand stretched out.

Lu Qi took off the badge according to his words and handed it to Zhang Zhihui in charge, Zhang Zhihui put the badge on a jack next to him, tightly fitted, the badge just filled the entire jack, and after a while, a row of numbers appeared in the jack: 'Outer disciple for two months' and 'Meritorious service is worth 23 points'

Zhang Zhihui took the badge out of the jack and said with a smile: "You can exchange two for two months as an outer disciple, and the merit is worth 23 points to exchange for two, a total of four lower grade spirit stones, I will exchange five for you, which is considered a preferential treatment for you." ”

Lu Qi stared at the jack for a long time, then came back to his senses and asked curiously, "Steward Zhang, this jack is so magical, how did you get it?"

Zhang Zhihui said: "This jack is actually a magic weapon, refined by a refiner, just to detect the merit value of each student's badge, and the time to become a disciple, there is no other use. From the moment you are given a badge, your soul mark is recorded in the badge, recording the time you have been a disciple and the number of merit points. If you die, this badge will inform the Elders at the first moment, informing you of the time of your fall, and the Elders can avenge the disciples of this institute in time. Of course, our Elder's Waist Badge can also be inserted into this jack, just like your badge. Zhang Zhihui took the trouble to explain, and looked at his gray waist card again.

"I see, thank you Elder for explaining so much to me," Lu Qi took the five lower-grade spirit stones handed to him by Zhang Zhihui, hugged his fists and thanked him, and walked out of the spirit stones.

"Now I just got five spirit stones, but it's still far from enough, I can only activate the 'Mixed Yuan Gathering Spirit Array' once, it's good if I can become an inner disciple, it seems that I have to think of a way." Lu Qi thought to himself as he walked back to his heart.

Back at the residence, Lu Qi took out the five lower-grade spirit stones, arranged them around, and soon activated the 'Mixed Yuan Gathering Spirit Array', Lu Qi entered it, enjoyed it, enjoyed the comfort of cultivation, and then meditated cross-legged, and began to run Zhou Tian according to the foundation building cultivation method he had realized, and the water-like spiritual energy continued to enter Lu Qi's dantian, and Lu Qi's seven orifices all spit out some white mist, looking like an immortal. Before I knew it, a day passed, and the sky slowly got dark.

Zhou Cong ran to Lu Qi's room again and slapped on the door, due to the restrictions of the 'Mixed Yuan Gathering Spirit Array', Zhou Cong's cultivation during the foundation building period could not open the door at all, and finally returned disappointed.

Lu Qi sensed Captain Zhou Cong's knock on the door, and immediately put away the 'Mixed Yuan Gathering Spirit Array', the color of the five lower-grade spirit stones was slightly dim, but they could still be used next time, put the spirit stones into the storage ring, and walked out of the door.

At this time, the moonlight shone brightly on the earth, and it was peaceful, only the sound of the two female disciples talking was heard, and Lu Qi listened with his ear.

"Hey, I thought I was so proud to be a disciple of the Xiuzhen Academy, but I didn't think that I would do these chores every day, and I didn't have time to cultivate, you see how delicate my hands used to be, but now they are full of calluses and are ugly. The female disciple's soft-spoken voice remembered.

Another female disciple sighed and said, "I just looked in the mirror yesterday, and my face was originally smooth and white, but now, it is extremely rough, and it is full of acne and acne. ”

Lu Qi could hear it by his voice, these two female disciples were students who came in the year before last, the former was from Songxi Town, which was adjacent to his own Songlin Town, named Xia Ying, and the latter was from Yanghui Town named Zhang Qing.

Xia Ying said in frustration: "There are only two ways to get out of this predicament, but each is out of reach for us. ”

When Lu Qi heard that there were two methods, his eyes lit up, yes, I can't be this outer disciple anymore, the situation is too difficult, why not find another way?

So Lu Qi rushed in front of the two female disciples with an arrow step, and the two female disciples were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were frightened.

Xia Ying was quite calm, and when she saw that it was Lu Qi, she smiled and stroked her hair, and teased: "Senior Brother Lu, what are you doing here secretly at night, are you trying to do anything to us?"

Zhang Qing also smiled and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Lu, what are you doing when you come here so late, do you have a crush on us Xia Ying?"

Lu Qi was said to have a black line in his head, and then his face turned red to his ears, and he looked sideways, Xia Ying's hair was slightly curly under the moonlight, with big eyes, melon seed face, and facial features were also good-looking, and his appearance was slightly inferior to Lu Ning, and it was far worse than Situ Qianyu.

And Zhang Qing's appearance is even worse than Xia Ying, her hair is messy, her facial features are not ugly, and her face is rough as she said, full of blackheads.

Lu Qi came back to his senses and said shyly: "I was passing by here, driven by curiosity, I wanted to observe the beauty of the two senior sisters, and sure enough, the two senior sisters were well-dressed and good-looking. ”

Xia Ying and Zhang Qing were praised by Lu Qi very well, not too ostentatious, their hearts were quite sweet, but they didn't dare to reveal it, which aroused the depths of their hearts, and they were unwilling to be outer disciples here for a lifetime, and until they were old.

The precautions in the hearts of the two were broken by Lu Qi's praise, and they suddenly felt that Lu Qi was amiable, kind-hearted, and belonged to friends who could make friends, plus they worked all day, there was no one to chat with at all, and everyone among the outer disciples had a stiff face, looking like a father was dead.

Lu Qi said again: "Senior Sister Xia, what are the two methods you just said, I just came to the Xiuzhen Academy, I don't understand everything, I ask Senior Sister Xia to explain it to you." ”

Xia Ying looked at Lu Qi, the white Xiuzhen robe was worn in a slightly yellowish color, her hair was tied into a ball-shaped, she combed a standard Xiuzhen Taoist hairstyle, her facial features were exquisite, her complexion was slightly dark, she looked quite handsome at first, she couldn't see through her cultivation should be at least in the foundation building period, and she also knew some of Lu Qi's deeds, and she was also in the hometown, as the saying goes, she met a confidant in another country, Xia Ying instantly increased her good impression of Lu Qi.

Xia Ying looked at Lu Qi, then looked up at the sky, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she said with a confused look: "The first way is to challenge the inner disciple, after winning the battle, you can apply to become an inner disciple, but within this year, you can't refuse any challenge from the outer disciple, if you fail in accepting the challenge, then go back to be an outer disciple." Additional conditions: You must be in the top five of the outer door list to be eligible to challenge, and the inner disciples who challenge must also be the top five of the inner door list. ”

Lu Qi couldn't help but smack his tongue after hearing this, this rule is indeed too difficult, and Lu Qi also knows that all the outer disciples went to the Kunlun Duel Arena to compete, and the top five ranked first. It is extremely difficult for ordinary disciples to enter the top five of the outer door list, let alone challenge the top five of the inner door list.

"And what about the second method," Lu Qi asked eagerly.

"The second way is to get out of here," Xia Ying said firmly, gritting her silver teeth.

"Leave, can the Xiuzhen Academy let us go easily?" Lu Qi asked with a look of disbelief.

Zhang Qing blinked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It is impossible for the Xiuzhen Academy to allow disciples to leave; once you enter the Xiuzhen Academy, unless you cultivate to the Jindan stage and become a real person, you will never be able to leave this place until you die of old age, but the inner disciples and above can ask for leave to go out to practice." She said that leaving here would be an escape, but the risk was very high, and she could be killed by the dean or the elder on the spot. After Zhang Qing finished speaking, her eyes were full of tears, thinking of her flower-like age, but she was lonely here, and she couldn't help but burst into tears and despair.

Lu Qi watched Zhang Qing cry into tears, and he was also touched to the depths of his heart, and sympathy arose, and he couldn't help but secretly think, "This broken rule of the Xiuzhen Academy is really unreasonable to the extreme, if I have the ability in the future, I must change this broken rule." ’

Lu Qi comforted and said: "Senior sister, don't be sad, if you have this ability in the future, you will definitely take the two senior sisters out of this cage and go to see the vast world outside." After finishing speaking, there was infinite yearning and tenacity in his eyes.

Xia Ying was also touched by Zhang Qing's sadness, and felt the same way, thinking that she would be trapped here for the rest of her life, slowly withering and withering like flowers, she couldn't help but feel sad and grief, burst into tears, and her voice was filled with endless despair: "There were once some disciples who wanted to escape secretly, but as soon as they left the gate of the Xiuzhen Academy, they were split in half from head to toe by the dean's 'Taiqing Divine Light', and the death was miserable, and even the soul had no chance to be reincarnated, and the soul was scattered. ”

"It's Shenguang again, this dean is really ruthless, inhumane, and he doesn't even leave a soul. When Lu Qi heard about the death of that disciple, he hated the dean, gritted his teeth with hatred, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Xia Ying saw Lu Qi's expression, and was instantly frightened, and hurriedly admonished: "In front of the dean, don't have a trace of luck, the dean's cultivation is unfathomable, I have never heard of anyone who can escape from his divine light, and the 'Taiqing divine light' practiced by the dean is simply invincible in the world." After Xia Ying finished speaking, her eyes were full of admiration and awe, and her whole body was shocked.

Lu Qi comforted Xia Ying a lot, and saw that Xia Ying was the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, thought for a moment, generously touched the storage ring, took out a Zhuji Dan with a yellow halo, handed it to Xia Ying and said: "Senior Sister Xia, this is the Zhuji Dan, you can use this Dan to impact the Foundation Building Period during this time, I can see that you are a spiritual vein, and it should not be difficult to step into the Foundation Building Period." ”

Xia Ying stared at the Tsukidan overflowing with the fragrance of medicine, the look of longing in her eyes was unobstructed, and she said in her heart: "How many people have fought desperately for this Tsukidan, working hard day and night, and they can't get it, and today such a valuable pill is in front of me, and it is easy to get it, why don't I accept this pill." ’

Zhang Qing looked at the pill and blurted out: "Zhuji Dan, what a valuable pill this is, how can you take it out and give it to my sister at will?"

Xia Ying looked at the pill, struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally was overcome by the dignity in her heart, and refused: "Thank you Senior Brother Lu for your kindness, it is useless, such a valuable pill, Shu Ying'er can't accept it." Xia Ying was moved by Lu Qi's sincerity at this time, and even claimed to have become Ying'er.
