The reason is that in the past six months, the mortals who have come to participate in the selection have a much better foundation than the previous disciples.

These people all heard of the prestige of the Fire Fox Sect and came from the distant Zhao Kingdom, Chu State and Qi State.

Because, the distance was long, and when these people arrived, almost a year had already passed, which caused the number of disciples outside the Firefox Sect to suddenly skyrocket in the last half year.

As a result, the number of rooms in the six divisions that could be used for new disciples to live in was naturally crowded.

In order to avoid the problem of not being able to provide housing when new outer disciples were recruited, the leader of the construction department personally arranged for the juniors to carry out the construction of the six parts of the fire fox sect in some remote and empty areas.

Among them, there was a branch disciple who happened to be assigned to the cave near where Xiang Dong's body was.

One of the most curious disciples discovered the cave and informed Xiang Dong that he had become an ice sculpture.

The news of Xiang Dong's death slowly spread throughout the six parts.

Because Xiang Dong had died, the handling of this matter naturally fell on the head of Huo Dan, the leader of the corpse transportation department.

After he cleared the eye in the cave, he carefully transported Xiang Dong's body back to the morgue of the corpse transportation department, and immediately de-iced Xiang Dong's body.

At the same time, a pair of shoes that Zhang Feiyang had left in the cave was also found by Hodan.

After Huo Dan finished examining Xiang Dong's body, he felt that this matter was not as simple as an ordinary accident.

Because, he never thought that Xiang Dong, a man who had always been cautious and worthy of his fierce rival, would walk into such a dangerous place for no reason, and also activated the magic circle and killed himself.

Even if Xiang Dong was really cultivating, he went mad and lost control of his mind, and he really did such an unbelievable thing, and the pair of shoes left not far from him was really difficult to explain.

If the person who died was not Xiang Dong, but just an ordinary outer disciple, he didn't have any interest in tracking it down, after all, the outer disciples in the six divisions were overcrowded now, and the accidental death of one or two insignificant people would not only have no effect on him, but also on the entire Firefox Sect.

Huo Dan was just worried that this would not be a conspiracy designed by the leaders of the other departments, the purpose was to get rid of the fierce opponent in advance, so that when it was really time for the martial arts competition, the living people would be able to easily win and get the opportunity to enter the inner door to cultivate.

As soon as he thought of this situation, Huo Dan's heart beat faster and faster, his brows tightened, staring at Xiang Dong's corpse, frowning.

But just then, something familiar came into his sight.

I saw a dagger shining with cold light firmly in Xiang Dong's hand.

Hodan was taken aback, cautiously, took off the dagger, put it in his hand and looked back and forth, playing carefully, because he was too excited, his whole body trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with golden light.

After a few moments, he took a deep breath to regain his composure, and his eyes suddenly did not blink, and he stared at the dagger, motionless, as if he had become a stone sculpture.

After a full half of the incense burnt time had passed, the dagger, which could only reflect a trace of cold light under the candle flame, suddenly burst into a dazzling light, covering all the candlelight in the room and covering the entire dagger capital.

At this time, Huo Dan was holding a dagger, and those who didn't know thought that he had caught a piece of light, and was waving it excitedly, opening his mouth excitedly, wanting to shout, just now he wanted to continue to track down why Xiang Dong died in the cave, and his thoughts had already been thrown out of the clouds.

When he stopped, Hodan's face turned red from being too excited.

When he put the dagger in his arms and looked at Xiang Dong's corpse again, his relaxed expression changed back to seriousness, as if the scene just now had never happened.

That night, he never moved again, only his eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking, sometimes closing his eyes, sometimes opening them.

It wasn't until after dawn that there was a knock on the door from other corpse transport department disciples outside, that he returned to normal, opened the door, swaggered out, and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

Two days later, a piece of news came out of Hodan's corpse transport unit.

"After a detailed investigation by the Department of Transporting Corpses, Xiang Dong's death is suspected to be not an accident, because he was murdered by the same disciples in the six departments, in order to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, the murderer will be announced to the public, and all outside disciples are asked to be ready to be summoned at any time. ”

Zhang Feiyang listened to the conversation of the senior sisters in the distance, and while washing his clothes, he frowned, and secretly calculated.

He also thought that Xiang Dong's body would be found in a few more years, and by then, he might already have the opportunity to become an inner disciple, so even if the six departments wanted to track it down, it would have nothing to do with him.

Even if the six departments still found him after layers of investigation, then he could still suppress this matter with a cultivation far higher than the leaders of the six departments.

I didn't expect the discovery of the body to be so much earlier than I expected.

Zhang Feiyang knew that he had to plan for his next step.

Under the current circumstances, no matter what, he can't admit this matter, even if he is the most suspicious, as long as he doesn't admit it.

Because, the martial arts competition is about to start soon.

After half a year of hard cultivation, his cultivation had stabilized at the early stage of the Qi Refining Period, and he had reached the three goals that a cultivator in the early stage of the Qi Refining Period had to achieve.

One of them is inward view.

At this point, he did it early.

The second is that the disease does not give birth.

It takes at least a full year to become proficient.

Since the outbreak of the vicious disease half a year ago, Zhang Feiyang has quickly mastered how to use aura to avoid diseases.

It turns out that you only need to check the inside of the body every day with Reiki to see if any organ is damaged, or if the operation of any organ is abnormal, and so on.

This is where the role of inner vision comes in.

If you successfully find the diseased area of the body part through internal vision, as long as you guide the aura to that area and use the aura in advance to let the organs of that body area heal on their own, then you can eliminate the potential risk of getting sick before the cultivator really gets sick after the organ lesion breaks out.

This half-year vacuum period happened to be a period of time for Zhang Feiyang to practice using his true qi to treat himself.

During this period, he almost fell seriously ill twice, both of which were caused by excessive fatigue and the wrong cultivation method.

Fortunately, in the end, he successfully used the guidance of the aura to successfully repair the organs that had shown some bad signs.

This gave him so much confidence and wanted to participate in the new martial arts competition.

As for the third point, that is, the cultivation of the aura that stimulates the outside of the body.

This is a kind of exercise that is used to specifically stimulate the divine power of the Dharma weapon.

The requirements are simple, you only need to channel the aura in your body out of your body, and then, condense it on your fingers, ready to go.

In this way, once you have a magic weapon in your hand, you can inject aura into the magic weapon and release the power of the magic weapon.

Xiang Dong released the power of the Heart-Destroying Dagger, making an ordinary-looking dagger invincible, using this method.

Only by mastering these three points can one be regarded as a monk who has truly stepped into the early stage of the Qi refining period.

At this time, Zhang Feiyang had already met this requirement.

It's a pity that unlike other outer disciples, he has regrets.

Xiang Dong's body was discovered, which meant that he couldn't take the Heart-Destroying Dagger anymore.

In this way, even if his cultivation had reached the early stage of the Qi Refining Period and was no longer a mortal, he still could not be regarded as a true early stage cultivator of the Qi Refining Period.

He lacked the most important magic weapon among the monks at this stage, when fighting.

An immortal cultivator without a magic weapon is like a swordsman who has lost his long sword, a swordsman without a short sword, and has no skills, but it is difficult to exert them.

Realizing this serious problem, Zhang Feiyang pursed his lips, pulled his thoughts back from his long-term memories, walked out of the hut, had breakfast, and was about to go to Sister Qiao's to learn how to make clothes.

In the Firefox Sect, as long as the successful cultivation reaches the early stage of the Qi refining period, you can apply for a magic weapon from the inner disciples.

Zhang Feiyang never dared to do this.

Because, in the eyes of others, he is the same as a year ago, he is still the same as he hasn't even read what "Qi Refining Formula" is, and he can't even read a few words, and his job in the laundry department every day is to make clothes, wash clothes, and so on, and so on, like a piece of garbage discarded, and will never attract the attention of others.

But if they know that Zhang Feiyang at this time is no longer what he used to be, and his cultivation is profound, and they say that what they see is just an illusion that he deliberately shows without showing his mountains, then all kinds of suspicions and troubles are naturally unavoidable, and there will even be some people with bad intentions who come to persecute and kill people to seize treasures.

Because, only a fool would believe that Zhang Feiyang's cultivation was added out of thin air, and he was able to reach the realm that countless outer disciples had failed to reach for five or six years, or even more than ten years, in just one year, there must be a secret, either he had some incredible cultivation techniques, or he had some unborn treasure.

Zhang Feiyang doesn't want to be in trouble, for this kind of thing, it is naturally as little as possible, and it is better not to have it.

Therefore, when he asked Sister Qiao, he only said seven or eight sentences or a dozen sentences, casually mixed with a question that he really wanted to ask, and all the rest of the words were nonsense, and he tried to make a look of indifference, just out of curiosity, he would ask.

If Sister Qiao didn't hear it, or after hearing it, she didn't mean to answer, and changed the topic, Zhang Feiyang didn't mean to continue to ask.

He hopes to use this low-key, least noticeable way to find a way to get a magic weapon for himself, and the more informal the method, the better.

It's a pity that Sister Qiao rarely talked about the method of obtaining the magic weapon in a conversation, but this method made Zhang Feiyang speechless.

"Magic weapon. Of course, there are other ways to get it. And you don't have to rely on other people's gifts. Another way is to refine it yourself. But I don't know exactly how to refine it. I heard that the cultivation requirements are extremely high, and even the inner disciples may not be able to refine it.

Zhang Feiyang, why are you suddenly interested in magic weapons? Do you want to watch "Qi Refining Technique"? I have a good week today, if you want to see it, I can promise to show you it. Sister Qiao opened her eyes curiously, looked at Zhang Feiyang, and asked.

"Sister Qiao. Don't tease me. Which time did you promise to show me? It wasn't early, I went to do the laundry. Zhang Feiyang sighed, his face was disappointed as if he was about to cry, shook his head, put down the finished clothes, and turned around and left the hut.

Seeing his lonely and depressed back when he left, Sister Qiao chuckled and nodded with satisfaction: "You know each other." "Be as proud as you want to be in your heart.

If she knew that she was out of the hut, Zhang Feiyang would hold back her laughter, run to the river, and beat her chest for a while, I'm afraid she would be so angry that her nose would be crooked.

After this day, the good times of Zhang Feiyang's continuous cultivation for a year came to an end.

The next day, two new pieces of news came from the corpse transportation department in the six parts.

One of the pieces of news was that because of the fact that Xiang Dong had died, the position of the head of the Alchemy Department was vacant, and now a junior disciple who was also cultivating in the Alchemy Department had been promoted to take Xiang Dong's place.

And the second news is closely related to Zhang Feiyang.

As a result, there was a vacancy for a disciple in the Alchemy Department, and countless outer disciples fought openly and secretly for many days and nights in order to compete for this place, but the final result surprised everyone.

Zhang Feiyang was successfully selected and transferred to the Alchemy Department for cultivation.

The person in charge of this matter is none other than Huo Dan, who has the greatest reputation and strongest strength among the six departments.

Because, he is the person in charge of investigating Xiang Dong's death, and before the new head of the Alchemy Department took office, he was acting in this position, and he had this power.

No one can question his decision, but just because people don't question him doesn't mean they can't question others.

Zhang Feiyang naturally became the target of people's criticism and writing on this matter.
