At this time, he still had the exhaustion and weakness of the severe pain in his body, but it was also flowing with the circulation of the hundred spiritual qi in his body, and every time he passed, a lot of it would dissipate.

Slowly scanning all over his body again, in his eyes, he found that the spirit stone in the formation was missing a piece, and at some point it turned into gravel and split into several parts and fell to the ground, and there was no milky white aura on it, and it became indistinguishable from ordinary stones.

And the other five medium-grade spirit stones in the formation were also obviously much lighter in color at this moment, obviously after his crazy cultivation during this period of time, the spiritual energy in them had been consumed a lot.

"The first layer of the Gathering Spirit, the thread-like little book once said that the cultivation speed of the remaining two layers after stepping into the first layer will be much faster, and now that I have reached it, I believe that the next two layers are just around the corner, if I can step into the condensation period, then I can enter the outer sect and become the outer disciple of the Lingyi Sect..."

Thinking of this, Lian Tuo couldn't help but be secretly excited.

At the same place in the house of the registered disciples, among the more than 400 people who were found from various villages, 253 people finally passed the Lingyi Sect entrance test, and Li Ce was one of the more than 200 people who passed the sect entry test.

Li Ce, originally the only son of Li Geng of the Li family's iron shop in Yuanli Village, was quite sturdy, and since he was a child, he has been learning how to cast various copper and iron utensils with his father in the iron shop.

For immortals, he has long been longing for immortals, and when he was very young, he heard a lot of legends about immortals and martial arts masters in the village among the old people in the village.

In the legend of the old people in the village, heroes with strong martial arts often travel all over the world, robbing the rich and helping the poor, while immortals can fly to the sky and escape to the world, omnipotent, far from being comparable to those who practice martial arts.

Li Ce naturally believes that the legend of the hero with strong martial arts in the mortal world exists, after all, in the iron shop at home, he has seen a lot of martial arts practitioners in the mortal world, and often when he comes to the iron shop, he asks his father to help cast swords, and from childhood to adulthood, he has helped cast a lot of swords in the iron shop.

It's just that he has always only believed in immortals.

For a long time, the martial arts practitioner who punishes the evil and walks the world, or the immortal who flies away and is at ease, is the ideal life that he yearns for.

However, if the ideal is reasonable, if you have a concern, you can't abandon everything to pursue.

When his father was young, he had a lot of diseases, his health was not good, he was young and sensible, he had been helping to take care of the iron shop business at home, and he had to hide the dream of walking the world in his heart.

Li Ce thought that he would do nothing like this in his life until he grew old.

But the sudden capital measurement of the people of Lingyi Sect finally evoked his dream hidden deep in his heart again.

He was already yearning for immortals, as if he had cultivation spiritual qualifications, although it was just ordinary, but under the cheerful farewell of his father and mother and everyone in the village, he came to Lingyi Sect with the other three companions in Yuanli Village.

It wasn't until he entered the Lingyi Sect and began to cultivate for a period of time that he realized that cultivating immortals was not as beautiful as the old people in the village said, but full of boredom and boredom.

At this time, he was walking back and forth in the room with an irritable face, and for the past few months, he had been meditating silently to feel the existence of the aura as said in the small threaded book, but there was no progress, and he was helpless, and he thought several times about finding a disciple with cultivation to ask for advice.

But for several months, apart from these people from various villages, he had not seen any other Lingyi Sect disciples in this house.

Gradually, he became more and more irritable inside.

Suddenly, Xu felt that it was too dull, and Li Ce buried his head and walked out the door, thinking about finding a partner from the same village as him and chatting about their respective views on cultivation.

Of the two hundred and fifty-three people from the various villages who had passed the Initiation Trial, one of the four from Yuanli Village had passed the trial as well as him, and during this time, he had talked to his fellow villagers a lot, and each knew the location of the house where the other was located.

Next door to him is the Lian Tuo House.

The moment Li Ce opened the door, Lian Tuo also walked out of the room leisurely.

Raising their heads to look at each other, Lian Tuo recognized Li Ce after a little recollection, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

At that time, he and Yan Xuan had stayed in Yuanli Village for one night on the way to search, and they naturally had a little impression of the four people in Yuanli Village who had spiritual resources.

Li Ce's face was stunned at first when he saw Lian Tuo, but after a moment of contemplation, he was quickly replaced by excitement.

"Senior brother, you're actually next door to me?"

"Senior brother?"

Hearing Li Ce call him that, Lian Tuo's eyes suddenly showed puzzlement, and he looked at him with excitement on his face full of doubts.

"Yes, senior brother, have you forgotten? I'm from Yuanli Village, and you stayed in our Yuanli Village for one night!"

As if he was afraid that Lian Tuo wouldn't be able to remember, Li Ce couldn't help but have a trace of anxiety in his tone.

Touching his chin and thinking about it, Lian Tuo was a little relieved, although he belonged to the same named disciple as Li Ce and the others who had just entered the Lingyi Sect, but he was not brought back by the test, but was directly arranged to become a registered disciple after being rescued by Yan Kong, the time was nearly a month earlier than them, and when he was looking for spiritual resources, he went with Yan Xuan and others, and everyone naturally thought that he was the same existence as Yan Xuan and others, so Li Ce called him "senior brother" in front of him.

However, now that he has successfully stepped into the first layer of Gathering Spirits, he is indeed well-deserved and can be regarded as their senior brother.

"That's not true, I saw it with my own eyes when you were tested to be qualified, and I still have a little impression of you. ”

Scratching his head with a rather strange face, he thought about it for a long time before he said slowly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to live next to me, if only I had found out earlier, after entering the sect, I have a lot of questions about cultivation that I want to ask someone, but in the past few months, except for those of us who have newly joined the sect, I haven't seen the shadow of you senior brothers and sisters here..."

"Senior brother, I don't know if there is a trick to the exploration of heaven and earth aura. ”

"Feeling? This is relatively simple, and it will be more difficult to guide and absorb the aura into the body later. ”

Lian Tuo pondered for a while, sorted out his previous cultivation experience a little, and then slowly replied.

Li Ce was already quite excited when he heard this, and hurriedly continued to ask: "Did you feel the existence of a film when Senior Brother first started, I have been cultivating every day for the past few months, but I can only feel a little bit every time, it seems that there is a layer of diaphragm that directly blocks my groping, and I don't know how to break through it." ”

Hearing such a question from him, Lian Tuo couldn't help but be stunned, he was a little puzzled before, it seemed that his speed since his cultivation was inevitably a little too fast, but after joining the sect, he had never seen someone who had just started cultivating with him, so he couldn't make comparisons, so he always thought that others might be like himself after entering the sect and cultivating.

At this moment, when Li Ce asked this, he realized that other people's cultivation was far more difficult than he thought.

It had been several months since Li Ce came to the Lingyi Sect, but now he was only hovering on the edge of feeling the aura, and he hadn't even reached the step of guiding the aura into his body.

And he has the same spiritual resources as him, but he has only cultivated for a month early, and his cultivation has already reached the first level of gathering spirits, and among them, he has undergone changes in the fusion of spiritual energy.

"It's hard to say this, in short, you can calm down and concentrate on cultivation, cultivation depends more on persistence, hard work, although our qualifications are ordinary, but if we work hard to cultivate, there will always be a day when we can catch up with the footsteps of others. ”

After being silent for a while, Lian Tuo said this sentence a little vaguely, and did not pay any attention to Li Ce, but turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest at the back of the house.

After he left, Li Ce stood still and pondered the meaning of his words, and then muttered for a long time and walked towards his partner's house, which was also from Yuanli Village.
