Bidding farewell to He Muluo, Si Dao returned to the courtyard of his mansion.

Cheng Yang also appeared here. Just now, when Si Dao was tried for "colluding with demons", Cheng Yang was already on the side. It's just that under the circumstances at that time, it was not convenient for Cheng Yang to appear. He is no longer the impulsive teenager he used to be.

In two years, Cheng Yang has become more stable and has grown a lot taller. He has become a personable young man.

His brows furrowed slightly, and it was only when the two of them met that they were relieved.

When they met again, they were not very happy, and they talked to each other about their experiences and stories over the past two years.

Si Dao recounted his experience, mentioned Elysium, and mentioned Han Lingzhi. When Han Lingzhi was mentioned, Cheng Yang's face was solemn.

Over the years, Cheng Yang has never given up looking for his sister. He is amiable and not strong at all, so he is very popular. Many of the Hehuan disciples helped him together. However, his sister seemed to have disappeared into thin air, without any clues.

Sometimes, Cheng Yang himself is about to give up.

But now, Si Dao mentioned the clue of Han Lingzhi. Cheng Yang suddenly became nervous. He still kept his senses and listened quietly. It wasn't until the end that he asked for some details.

Cheng Yang mentioned his sister's characteristics and habits, but he rarely could match Han Lingzhi, whether it was his behavior or physical details.

After all, Cheng Yang's sister has been missing for many years, and she has grown from a girl to a girl, and the changes must be great. Even if Han Lingzhi is Cheng Yang's younger sister, many things may not be matched.

But Si Dao and Cheng Yang were more convinced of Han Lingzhi's identity. Because, if Han Lingzhi has no problem, why was he rescued? This is not three hundred taels of silver here, what is it?

There are still very few clues in general, and after the two discussed the matter of the "Spring Rain Pavilion", they began to focus on what had happened in the Hehuan Sect in recent years.

After Si Dao left for the Northland, the Holy Maiden rescinded her engagement with him. This marriage contract was originally a unilateral choice of the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden had the right to terminate it without the consent of the priest.

And half a year ago, at the suggestion of the upper echelons of Hehuan, the saint and Jiang Yichen established an immortal relationship.

Jiang Yichen was Hehuan's most outstanding disciple, and in terms of his current strength, even the Holy Maiden was inferior to him. The daily affairs inside and outside Hehuan are completely handled by Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen came to assist the saint through the love calamity, which is really what everyone expected.

In addition to this, another thing is the selection of contestants for "Martial Arts and Swords".

"Technique and Sword", held once every 50 years, is divided into three levels: knotting Dan, building the foundation, and refining qi, and the competition is carried out separately.

Corresponding to the three levels, the six major immortal sects need to send one Jiedan monk, three foundation building monks, and nine qi refining monks.

For each level, there will be an age limit, which is 180 years old, 60 years old, and 30 years old.

If it is purely based on age, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan has not yet reached the age of sixty, although she is a monk of Jiedan, she should be able to participate in the foundation building competition.

However, 200 years ago, the rules of the "Martial Arts and Swords" competition were changed.

Two hundred years ago, Xia Yunhua of the Shangqing Dynasty also broke through the realm and became a monk before the age of sixty.

If Xia Yunhua participated in the competition of the foundation building disciples, then there was no concept of the competition at all, and the result was obvious. But if Xia Yunhua does not participate in the competition, it will be unfair to Shangqing.

In the end, the six immortal sects still agreed that Xia Yunhua and the Holy Maiden appeared as geniuses, even if they did not participate in the first session of "Technique and Sword", they would definitely be able to make a brilliant appearance in the next session of "Technique and Sword".

Therefore, two hundred years ago, Xia Yunhua did not participate in that session of "Art and Sword".

After that year's "Technique and Sword", "Technique and Sword" added a restriction on participation, and for rare people like the Holy Maiden, if the contestant breaks through to the cultivation of the Jiedan, he can no longer participate in the competition of building the basic level.

Therefore, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan, as a monk of the Yudan, can only participate in the competition at the level of the Yudan.

At the beginning, the reason why the corresponding age limit was set for "Techniques and Swords" was because, under the corresponding age, the talented monks could basically reach the peak of the corresponding cultivation.

Taking Qi Refining Cultivators as an example, gifted monks can often reach the peak of Qi refining before the age of thirty.

For the Six Great Immortal Sects, such a rule is reasonable.

However, for the disciples within the Immortal Sect, this rule is unreasonable.

Because, on the occasion of each session of "Art and Sword", different people are of different ages.

Obviously, the thirty-year-old group of Qi Refining Cultivators was the most dominant. They have been cultivating for the longest time and are most likely to reach the peak of Qi refining.

Especially in the Qi refining and cultivation stage, before the age of thirty, every year's experience is very precious, and it is very likely that a transformation will occur in a certain year. With each additional year, the combat experience and spiritual power cognition will improve a lot.

After months of selection, the Hehuan Sect has already determined that among the Qi Refining Realm contestants participating in the "Technique and Sword", except for Si Dao, the youngest one is also twenty-five years old, and the rest are all over twenty-eight years old.

In the Northland Guanghan City, Si Dao had seen countless Qi Refining Cultivators. Among them, those who reached the peak of qi refining in their early twenties, Si Dao had only seen Mo Qi alone.

Within the Hehuan Sect, in the Qi Refining Realm, it takes five to seven years to break through each level of cultivation.

Although Cheng Yang practiced penances for two years, his cultivation was still at the second layer of qi refining, and he was never able to break through to the third layer of qi refining. You must know that with the help of Si Dao, Cheng Yang is not short of spirit stones. And within the Hehuan Sect, the concentration of spiritual power far exceeds that of the outside world. However, the speed of spiritual power increase is still slow.

The road to cultivating immortals is long, and it is not just talking.

"I thought I could catch up with you with the same resources. Unexpectedly, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. Cheng Yang sighed and was helpless.

I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and the relationship between the two has not been estranged, but has become much closer. Cheng Yang was so shocked that he couldn't say anything about Si Dao's cultivation and the terrifying growth of his strength, but he would not deliberately distance the two of them because of this.

"I'm not a woman, even if you catch up with me, I won't marry you!" Si Dao quipped.

"Yes! Who doesn't know that the woman you like is He Muluo, the great Uncle Jiedan. Cheng Yang was full of sourness, "However, don't be too happy." In the past two and a half years, you have fallen behind in too many courses. When 'Techniques and Swords' is over, you're probably going to have to tutor for a long, long, long time!Oh, I forgot, you're going to have to face the wall for five years, and you don't know how many lessons you'll miss during that time. ”

"It does take some time to keep up. Si Dao was quite helpless.

"If there is anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask. Cheng Yang said confidently.

"Then I'll thank you first. Also, if there is anything you don't understand about your practice, you are welcome to ask for advice. Si Dao responded.

After saying that, both of them laughed. Cheng Yang has learned many more cultivation courses than Si Dao, and Si Dao's cultivation is much higher than Cheng Yang, and the two can just help each other learn.

Half a year after going to Northland, the same class of students began to teach all kinds of miscellaneous studies.

In addition to cultivation, planting, forging, spirit pets, alchemy, arrays, music arts, runes, etc., these courses belong to the basic introduction of various categories, but they are all very cumbersome.

In addition, at the end of each year, the above courses are assessed. If the student fails the assessment, the student will need to take a make-up examination. If the make-up examination is not passed, the student needs to repeat the grade to continue studying.

In the words of the teacher, what they learn belongs to common sense. If a Hehuan disciple doesn't even know common sense, it will only become a joke.

At the same time, if students want to go deep into each category, they must not only pass the assessment, but also achieve excellent results in the assessment.

Basically, most of the Hehuan disciples choose the direction they are most interested in among the course categories such as planting, forging, spirit pets, alchemy, arrays, music arts, runes, etc., to study in depth.

After going out for two and a half years, all the course assessments of the road are handled with zero points. Naturally, he needed to cram all the classes. In comparison with the situation in modern schools, Si Dao is equivalent to a student with sports expertise, who has been absent from school for two and a half years and has not learned any cultural knowledge.

For this reason, his sweet date with He Milo was officially upgraded to an offline cram school. With He Miro, a top monk of the Jiedan, as the lecture teacher, this kind of treatment is the only one.

In addition to the supplementary class, Si Dao also has a more important thing - the competition training for "art and sword".

In the qi refining competition of "art and sword", Xianmen sent nine people respectively. It's a team game.

Si Dao naturally had to practice and run in with the other eight people. So, starting tomorrow, he'll need to train with eight other people.

In this way, the time schedule of the priest is very full, and it is too full to be full.

If it weren't for being so busy, the two of them would have been able to talk for three days and three nights without stopping.

It's just that when the sun rises in the sky, Si Dao knows that he should go to participate in the special training of "Techniques and Swords".
