Time is like flowing water in the palm of your hand, you can't hold it, you can't keep it, it passes in a hurry, and it's been a year in the blink of an eye.

The roar of the water was like thunder, and it was still the familiar river, the familiar waterfall, and the familiar little figure wielding a sword under the waterfall.

The turbulent water washed Qu Qingge's eyes, making her unable to open her eyes, she simply closed her eyes and practiced the sword, she held the sword with both hands, and swung it out vigorously again and again.

It is still the most basic six-style sword technique, splitting, chopping, intercepting, teasing, stabbing, hooking, the sword moves are ordinary, but the sword is strong and powerful, containing great strength.

Zhou Qinfang was still standing in front of the waterfall with her hands down, staring closely at Qu Qingge's cultivation, and there was an old man in Tsing Yi standing beside her, the old man was chuckling and caressing his beard with one hand, looking at Qu Qingge who was practicing swords under the waterfall with satisfaction, this person was Mu Lao, or a doppelganger of Mu Lao.

Since that incident a year ago, he has been a disciple because of his disadvantage in disciplining his disciples, and as Hua Shu's personal master, he was ordered by the sect master to personally complete her task for his own disciples, replacing her as Qu Qingge's pharmacist, specially configuring medicinal baths for Qu Qingge every day and observing her physical health at all times, and treating him when she was injured in time.

However, because he is busy with affairs, he still follows Qu Qingge every day, and only in the evening when Qu Qingge finishes a day of cultivation and study, and returns to his yard to soak in the medicinal bath, he will really appear and personally configure the medicinal bath for her to recuperate and strengthen her body.

Under the strong washing of the waterfall, after exhausting enough swings, Qu Qingge stopped his mechanical sword-swinging action, put the heavy sword in his hand on his shoulder, jumped over, and easily jumped out of the waterfall and came to the ground.

She took out a handkerchief from the storage bag and wiped it on her face, wiping the water stains off it before she opened her eyes.

took out a pair of clean shoes and a blue headband, put the shoes on, tied the loose hair, tied it with a headband, and after tidying up her clothes a little, she walked towards Zhou Qinfang and Mu Lao, who were standing aside and waiting.

"The disciple sings lightly, and I have seen Mu Lao. Qu Qingge walked in front of the two of them, plunged the heavy sword diagonally into the soil, first saluted Mu Lao, who appeared out of nowhere, and then reported to Zhou Qinfang: "Uncle Qin Fang, today's basic homework, the disciple has finished it. ”

"Not bad. Zhou Qinfang nodded lightly, smiled approvingly, and she cast a cleansing decision on Qu Qingge, so that the water on her body that was still dripping down instantly dried up.

Qu Qingge only felt a burst of refreshment on her body, and knew in her heart that it was Zhou Qinfang who gave her a legal decision, and looked up and smiled at her gratefully.

Then he said goodbye to Mu Lao for the time being, and consciously followed Zhou Qinfang into the forest that was frozen by her a year ago, but still looked like an ice field a year later.

Qu Qingge sat cross-legged on top of a wooden stake that had been cut down, and after a long period of frost and frost, the original color had long been invisible, and only a layer of frost-white ice remained.

Zhou Qinfang held a soft silk belt in his hand, stood upright in an empty snowfield, and looked at the child sitting upright on the wooden stake in front of him, much taller than last year, and about three feet tall when he stood up, his mind couldn't help but drift to a year ago.

Since the incident that provoked the entire Lingyun Sect's upper echelons a year ago, everyone involved, including her, and even the sect master, have all been punished.

There are still two years to go, and after two more years of teaching this child, she will be in the abyss of sin and receive the punishment she deserves.

She didn't have any complaints about this matter, and she didn't care that as a dignified infant powerhouse, she actually apologized to a junior who had not yet cultivated, and she didn't care about being deducted half of the monthly case every month, anyway, she didn't rely on that idea sect monthly routine to live.

It was her fault back then, although she didn't mean to, but after all, she almost ruined the child in front of her. For her, a mistake is a mistake, and there is no need to quibble for herself, just to suffer the consequences.

She just sighed at the heart of the child in front of her and was pleased with her efforts.

After that incident, she directly followed Mu Lao's request, reduced Qu Qingge's cultivation intensity, and only needed to swing the sword a thousand times a day, and after swinging the sword, if there was still time, she would come to this ice field with her, Qu Qingge only needed to sit in the ice field at will, while feeling the artistic conception of ice, and watching her practice various martial arts.

However, Qu Qingge herself was unwilling to do this, and after just half a month of adaptation in the early stage, she spent half a year by herself, gradually increasing the number of sword swings per day to 10,000 swings per day.

Until now, even after she has swung her sword every day, she can still have free time to watch Zhou Qinfang practice other martial arts for her.

Because Qu Qingge is still in the process of laying the foundation, and she has not yet formally cultivated, she has not yet been able to learn those sword techniques that need to be used to cooperate with the aura.

Zhou Qinfang pursued the way to practice martial arts, but also need to see and learn more, in the battle, as long as you have a certain understanding of the opponent's weapons, you may not be able to add a little more chance of victory for your body.

And your opponents can't all use the same weapon as you, at this time, it depends on how much you know about other weapons, so she simply demonstrated the use of a weapon for Qu Qingge every day after practicing the sword every day.

The weapon she is going to demonstrate today is the long silk that is more commonly used among the female monks in the cultivation realm.

Qu Qingge saw Zhou Qinfang holding the moon-white long silk on the crook of his arms, looking a little weird.

Zhou Qinfang's appearance is that of a bodybuilder who is like a beast and prefers wild beauty.

She usually likes to tie her hair up high, and she wears a cool power suit, very boldly revealing her honey-colored slender thighs and slender waist and abdomen with smooth muscles, with the giant behind her who never leaves her body, it is completely a wild and sexy woman's dress.

Qu Qingge has now been living in the cultivation realm for two years, even if the living environment is isolated from the world, she also knows that the cultivation realm is different from the secular world, the atmosphere here is open, and there are not so many constraints on women.

In the cultivation realm, as a female cultivator, in fact, your status is almost equal to that of a male cultivator, as long as you are strong enough, even if you are naked/running on the street, no one will dare to talk about you, and there may even be people who praise you for your personality.

Just as a male cultivator with a strong strength or background can marry three wives and four concubines, a female cultivator with a strong or strong background can also accept three husbands and four servants if she likes it.

Relatively speaking, for Qu Qingge, who is also a little deviant in her heart, she also likes the free atmosphere of the cultivation realm more, but due to the influence of her previous life, she doesn't like one daughter to marry two husbands at the same time.

If she has that fate in the future and can meet the person she loves, she only hopes to be able to be a couple for the rest of her life, hand in hand with him in this life, and support each other to move forward on this long immortal journey, but she is only five years old at this time, and it is too early to think about this, so let's work hard to cultivate.

Looking at Zhou Qinfang in front of him, who was wearing a soft long silk, Qu Qingge only felt extremely disobedient, to tell the truth, this kind of long silk is more suitable for the kind of gentle and virtuous women, but when Zhou Qinfang danced with the long silk, Qu Qingge didn't think so.

The long silk is staggered and waved, like colorful butterflies flying lightly, sometimes soft and lingering, can entangle the enemy's actions, sometimes fierce and slaughtering, can launch a strong attack on the enemy like a storm, and the gorgeous implies murderous intentions.

Zhou Qinfang's wrist twisted dexterously, tightly rolled the long soft silk into a straight long stick, and then she stepped forward under her feet, one hand seemed to be making a sword, towards a thick tree trunk in front of her, stabbing straight away, only to hear a crisp sound, the trunk that was frozen by layers of ice, and a person was so thick that it was directly pierced by Zhou Qinfang's blow!

It can be seen that if ordinary people use this soft long silk as a weapon with little offensive power, it will definitely suffer a big loss.

It is no wonder that weapons such as long silk, long silk, and shawl were so popular among the friars, and in addition to their beautiful appearance and decorative use, they also served as a surprise weapon.

Zhou Qinfang, who was dedicated to demonstrating the moves of Chang Aya's soldiers for Qu Qingge, had already fused her body and mind with the soldiers in her hands, which made people indulge in her gorgeous and powerful moves, and had no intention of paying attention to the mismatch between her appearance and Chang Aya.

From this, it can be found that there is also a basis for the sect to let Zhou Qinfang come to teach the preparatory core disciples, in addition to the fact that she herself is a primordial infant power, she not only specializes in giant swords, but also is proficient in the use of various weapons, if someone can get one or two points of the essence she taught, it will be enough for him to use for a lifetime.

After Zhou Qinfang finished demonstrating the soldiers of Chang Aya, she put away Chang Aya, turned to Qu and sang, "What do you think?"

"Uncle Hui, although Chang Aya is soft, it also has toughness, and it is precisely because of its softness that it has infinite plasticity...... Qu Qingge jumped off the stake, stood upright, and answered Zhou Qinfang's question in a loud voice.

Every time Zhou Qinfang demonstrated a weapon for her, she would let her express her opinions and feelings to prove her level of comprehension.

Qu Qingge also watched it carefully every time, after all, she had practiced martial arts for many years in her previous life, and she could still say a thing or two about each weapon, plus Zhou Qinfang's every demonstration could bring her a different feeling, which naturally made her understand each weapon a little deeper.

After listening to Qu Qingge's feelings, Zhou Qinfang did not show it on her face, but she was so satisfied in her heart, she was proud that she had accepted a disciple who was so talented and diligent, but she was also disappointed that she could only teach her for three years temporarily, and could not be her long-term teacher.

"Tomorrow is the day of the big exam, and I don't know anything about the literary exam, so I won't say much, but you must do your best to do your best in the martial arts exam, and don't let the teacher down. If you are eliminated, you will no longer be able to teach you as a teacher. ”

said so, in fact, Zhou Qinfang had already planned it in her heart, if Qu Qingge passed the assessment, she blessed her heart, and she would still teach her for two years.

If Qu Qingge is unfortunately eliminated, after she receives the three-year punishment of the sect, she will also come out to officially accept Qu Qingge as a disciple of the sect, and continue to teach her all the things she has learned in her life.

"Yes, the disciple will definitely do his best to participate in the assessment, and he will never let Uncle Shi down!" Qu Qingge didn't know Zhou Qinfang's intentions, so he only decided that he must try his best to fight for the first place in this assessment, so as to ensure that the master who got it would not fly halfway.

And although Zhou Qinfang didn't say it explicitly, she also hinted to her in her words that it would be of great benefit to get the top three in this assessment.

Although she didn't know what the benefits were, she would definitely have something to do with the cultivation resources that each of them would be able to obtain in the future, and in order to get better resources in the future, she would naturally strive to be upstream! After finishing the day's classes again, Qu Qingge returned to her small courtyard alone and instructed Jade Sleeve to bring dinner.

Jade Sleeve said yes softly, turned around and went to bring the food box, and after she put the sumptuous four dishes and one soup in the food box in front of Qu Qingge one by one, she knew that Qu Qingge didn't like outsiders to disturb her when she was eating, so she curtsied and bowed, and then retreated on her own.

Qu Qingge quickly swept away the food on the table, and then took out the monthly routine that the jade sleeve had just handed over to her and the half of Zhou Qinfang's monthly routine to check, her monthly routine was still the same as before, and Zhou Qinfang's share, even if it was only half of the amount, was more than her monthly routine in a year.

Zhou Qinfang, as the sect's primordial power, and also served as the deputy peak master of Ling Jian Peak, one of the seven main peaks of the Lingyun Sect, was definitely much higher than her little preparatory core disciple.

She has hundreds of high-grade spirit stones every month alone, not to mention other items such as pill magic robes, which are so many that she can sing lightly.

Zhou Qinfang is a Yuan Infant Monk, and the elixir magic clothes that she can apply are all incompatible with Qu Qingge, and the sect will not give this part to her, if she accidentally lets Qu Qingge use it rashly, this is not helping her but harming her.

Therefore, the monthly example that the Xuanhan Sect Master said about giving Qu Qingge half of the monthly example was actually just half of the spirit stones from Zhou Qinfang's monthly example for her, and from Zhou Qinfang, Qu Qingge could get fifty high-grade spirit stones every month, which was a very large amount of money for Qu Qingge at this time.

With this spirit stone, Qu Qingge is not afraid that it will run out of energy even if the system is fully turned on around the clock.

However, Qu Qingge is a thrifty person, she thinks that since she can't use the system at the moment, then she should continue to turn on the power-saving mode to reduce unnecessary waste, waste is shameful.

Tomorrow will start the assessment competition, the time is very tight, one day of the literary test, one day of the martial arts test, after the test, the results will be given on the third day, the top 100 will continue to stay, and the last 100 will be eliminated directly!

Before the exam, Qu Qingge thought that she had prepared well for the study time of the previous year, and she didn't want to temporarily cram and increase her pressure, so she washed up and went to sleep directly after taking a medicinal bath tonight.

Early in the morning of the second day, after all the disciples had completed their collective morning exercises, they were gathered at the gate of the academy.

Qinghe folded her hands in front of her, standing upright, facing the disciples in front of her, who were neatly arranged in front of her, all of whom had grown a lot taller, she looked solemn, her tone was serious, and she said in a loud voice: "Today's literary examination is about to be held, I hope you will go all out, do your best to take the exam, and win good results!"

"Yes, Xie Qinghe's aunt Jiyan. All the disciples agreed in unison.

"In this way, you will follow Elder Xu to the Lingzhou and go to the place of assessment. Qinghe raised her head slightly, stretched out one hand, pointed to the spirit boat that had already stayed there not far away, and made a gesture of invitation to the two hundred disciples in front of her, and then she withdrew her hand, turned around and retreated.

The disciples also obediently lined up one by one, followed Elder Xu to the spirit boat, and went to the unknown place of assessment.

The spirit boat slowly rose, adjusted the bow of the boat, and then accelerated, speeding towards the outside of the sect.

Because he was just going to take the assessment, he didn't need to travel far, so Qu Qingge and the other disciples were arranged on the deck.

At this moment, she was being pulled by the excited Zhang Lian'er to stand on the deck railing, looking at the scenery of the outside world, Zhang Lian'er may have been trapped by the closed life of the past two years for a long time, and when she saw the scenery of the outside world that she had not seen for a long time, she was so excited that she was pulling a light song like a bird, chirping, and shouting all the time.

"Wow, ah~ Light song, look at it, that mountain is so tall, that is the main peak of the sect - Lingyun Peak!ah~ That crane is so fat!hahaha...... It's funny. ”

Not far away, a fat crane flew by slowly, as if she heard Zhang Lian'er's ridicule of it, and turned her head unhappily to Zhang Lian'er and let out a long scream, so frightened that she immediately hid behind Qu Qingge.

Qu Qingge patted her head helplessly and warned softly: "Don't easily laugh at others for their shortcomings. ”

"I know, I'm sorry, little crane. Zhang Lian'er looked ashamed and obediently admitted her mistake to the crane in the distance.

The crane's eyes softened, and he let out a long roar at Zhang Lian'er, indicating that he had forgiven her, and then flapped his wings and flew away quickly.

"That crane is so powerful, it looks so ...... Strong, and can fly so fast. ”

Zhang Lian'er's emotions came and went quickly, and she immediately worshiped the distant crane with starry eyes, but she originally wanted to say that people were fat, but remembering the warning of Qu Qingge just now, she immediately changed her words and changed to a more elegant word.

The spirit boat galloped all the way until it came to the gate of the sect before slowly stopping and landing.

The disciples followed Elder Xu off the spiritual boat, first looked at the gate of the sect, and then looked back at Elder Xu with an uncertain expression, not understanding what Elder Xu was doing when he brought them outside the gate of the sect.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the disciples, Xu Lao just chuckled and stroked his beard, and said in a loud voice, "You guys wait here for a while. ”

Since Elder Xu said so, the disciples could only stand here obediently and wait, there was a very open field at the gate of the sect, and all the disciples consciously lined up, their backs straightened, and stood in front of Elder Xu silently.

After waiting for about half an hour, two people dressed in navy blue clothes stepped forward and whispered a few times to Xu Lao, Xu Lao nodded slightly, turned back to the disciples below and said, "The formation is ready, you can start the assessment." ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and waved it back, and everyone saw that with Xu Lao's movements, behind him, a white jade building, straight and long, with no end in sight, gradually appeared in the ladder leading to the sky.

Qu Qingge raised his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a huge stone tablet standing in front of this ladder, on which three big characters were written - climbing the ladder!

"There is a time limit of three hours, the higher you can climb this ladder, the better your results, I hope you will work harder, go!" As he spoke, Xu Lao stretched out his hand and waved lightly at the disciples, and with a flick of his wide sleeves, the figures of the two hundred disciples in front of him disappeared in an instant.

He chuckled and turned around to look at the long ladder to the sky, only to see that on the ladder where there was nothing but a white jade stone ladder, the figures of the two hundred disciples who had just disappeared instantly appeared.

Some of them are still faltering, and some of them have begun to climb the ladder, many steps ahead of the others.

Qu Qingge only felt that her eyes were foggy, her body flickered, and when she could see the things in front of her clearly, she found that she was no longer standing in place.

She was the only one left here, alone, and the figures of the other disciples who came with her to participate in the literary examination were all gone, and there was a white mist all around, and it was so misty that people couldn't see what else was behind the white fog, and there was only a white jade cast in front of them, leading to the sky, and the ladder that could not be seen at the end.

Qu Qingge just looked at the surrounding environment slightly, and immediately raised her feet and stepped forward, climbing the ladder step by step, she kept in mind Xu Lao's words in her heart, the higher the climb, the better the results.

So I didn't dare to waste any time, and kept a steady but fast speed to crawl forward.

First Order ...... Two-order ...... Eighteenth Order...... Fifty-third Order...... Ninety-Nine Steps......

When Qu Qingge had reached the hundredth step, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of her, preventing her from continuing to move forward.

Helplessly, she could only stop her progress for a while, and then she heard a mysterious, emotionless, male and female voice sounding overhead.

"First question: What is evening primrose?"

As soon as he heard this question, Qu Qingge knew in his heart, this is the official literary examination, right?

Without thinking, she immediately replied:

"Evening primrose, belongs to the third-order elixir, it contains rich in the essence of the moon, the color of the plant is moon white, the rhizome is luxuriant, slender and fragile, the leaves are wide and thin, the leaf edge is wavy, the taste is slightly sweet, eating it can increase the essence of the moon in the monk's body, to achieve the effect of eliminating impurities, beauty and beauty, rejuvenation and snow white, is one of the three main drugs for making washing pills, and is also a beauty pill, snow skin pill, and beauty pill...... and other auxiliary elixirs. The method of picking is to pick the whole with an ice shovel on the fifteenth day of each month, when the moonlight is at its strongest. ”

"Answer correctly, passed. When Qu Qingge said the complete answer, the voice judged whether Qu Qingge's answer was correct or not almost instantly, and directly gave her a pass.

Qu Qingge only felt that the barrier in front of her was gone, she walked forward again, and when she walked ten steps further, she was really stopped again.

The mysterious voice also sounded again: "Second question: What is pure gold?"

This time, the topic is the knowledge learned in the spiritual materials class required for refining, practicing formations, and drawing talismans taught by Xu Lao after the history class of the Xiuzhen Realm: "Pure gold, a second-order spiritual material, has a bright yellow color, irregular appearance, hard texture, and strong spiritual conductivity, and is extracted from gold, and one or two pure gold can be refined from a hundred catties of gold, which can be used to refine second-order spiritual weapons, make second-order formations and draw second-order spiritual runes." ”

"Answer correctly, passed. ”

This time, Qu Qingge also advanced ten steps of stone stairs, and was stopped again to ask a question, "Third question: What is the Heavenly Mirror?"

"The Heavenly Mirror is an eighth-order spiritual weapon, it was forged by the eighth-grade refining master six thousand years ago who left the sky and exhausted his life's efforts, and this mirror is extremely powerful. The emperor can protect one party, and the attack can destroy a country. At this time, this mirror is in the hands of Xuan Han, the current sect leader of the Lingyun Sect, and it is one of the treasures of the Lingyun Sect. ”

"Answer correctly, passed. ”

Qu Qingge studies seriously every day, is diligent and studious, and once she learns something, it will become an instinct and will never forget it.

Therefore, in the face of the questions on the ladder of climbing, she answered them without thinking, and as soon as she answered correctly, she immediately walked forward, never staying for a moment, unlike other disciples, who needed to stop and think about it, and then answer the questions carefully, wasting a lot of time in vain.

As she passed one level after another, Qu Qingge climbed higher and higher, and gradually, she had reached the height where she couldn't see the bottom when she turned around, but she still insisted on continuing to answer the questions.

Even if her throat was faintly hoarse and aching, her lips were white and chapped, her face was pale, her head was dull and painful, and her physical strength had dropped so much that her legs were sore, but she still kept climbing forward.

Just when Qu Qingge felt that the time was incomparably long, and she might not be able to hold on for the next moment, the voice that had been asking her questions suddenly came from her ear, solemnly announcing:
