Ah Niu watched Tian Chong run away to Tianxiang Country, so Ah Niu changed his route and walked in the opposite direction, that is, the direction of Tianhuo Country. On the way, Ah Niu found a nameless exercise in his mind, Ah Niu practiced according to the method, and felt warm on his body, in fact, sometimes Ah Niu can feel that there is not only his own soul in the body, and there are often other people saying inexplicable things in his body. In the evening, Ah Niu wore a white bandage and found a small shop to stay. It turned out that the broken place on Ah Niu's head was not broken by Tian Er, but Ah Niu's original old wound, but it was cracked. Ah Niu practiced the nameless exercises all night, felt refreshed, and the wound on his head was healed.

The next day, Ah Niu went on the road again, because of the Gobi Desert of Tianhuo National Division, so the scenery on the side of the road also changed, the green vegetation became less and less, the air was filled with loess, and the bones of various animals on the roadside could be seen everywhere. Ah Niu walked for a long time and saw a small town in front of him. Ah Niu entered the town, looking at the goods on the roadside stalls in the town, Ah Niu felt very surprised, he didn't seem to be able to remember anything, it was possible that he had seen such things, but he couldn't remember. Ah Niu took this small toy for a while, looked at this small porcelain bowl for a while, and played with it himself, but it also made the small traders in the town troubled, but the traders couldn't say anything, after all, Ah Niu is still very measured, and will definitely not damage the goods. Ah Niu is not stupid, he knows that he has no money to pay for these things now.

Suddenly, Ah Niu saw a lot of people in front of him, so Ah Niu squeezed over, and Ah Niu only heard someone standing in front of him reading aloud.

"The Huoyun Sect is scheduled to select introductory disciples in Huoyun Mountain on the fifth of next month, and anyone who has a qualified spiritual root, a strong personality, or can hand in a spiritual object of more than 300 years can enter the sect and practice the immortal law. ”

When Ah Niu heard this, he thought to himself, anyway, there is nothing to do now, it is better to have fun, anyway, that Tian Chong is not in this Huoyun Sect, Ah Niu can do it if he wants, he found someone on the side of the road, asked where Huoyun Sect accepted disciples, and Ah Niu set off towards Huoyun Mountain.

On the way, Ah Niu met a little fat man named Zhou Tong, the little fat man is a self-acquaintance, and he can talk to anyone, listen to his own words, his father is an outsider, he has everything at home, there is no lack of anything, there is a lack of immortals, so Zhou Tong came to Huoyun Sect to try his luck.

On the way, Ah Niu and Zhou Tong talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the mountain gate of the Huoyun Sect, Huoyun Mountain.

Three days later, all the interview disciples have a preliminary examination, after passing the initial examination, ten days later, the re-examination, and if they pass, they can enter the Huoyun Sect, and the top ten in the re-examination can directly become inner disciples, and the others must start from the outer disciples.

In these three days, many people came one after another, some princes and princesses of small countries, and some descendants of dignitaries.

Three days later, Zhou Tong and Ah Niu started the first test.

"I see that you eat well every day and sleep soundly, do you have any secrets that you will definitely be able to pass," Ah Niu asked with a smile.

"What are the entry requirements for the Fire Cloud Sect?" Zhou Tong asked triumphantly.

"Anyone who has a qualified spiritual root, a strong character, or can hand over a spiritual object that is more than 300 years old, can enter the Fire Cloud Sect," Ah Niu replied suspiciously.

Zhou Tong looked left and right and said, "My father made me two yellow essences that are more than 300 years old, and this thing is a medicine for refining Zhuji Dan." Hehe, see you fall in love with me, I'll give you one in a while"

"I don't want to, I'm just here to play, if I can pass, I'll play in the Huoyun Sect, if I can't pass, I'll just go somewhere else." Ah Niu said with a smile.

Soon it was Zhou Tong's turn, and Zhou Tong walked in confidently. Soon Zhou Tong came out.

"I will be an outer disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect in the future. My dad knew he wasn't happy to die. Zhou Tong said to Ah Niu with a smile.

Soon arrived at Ah Niu, Ah Niu looked east and walked in, full of hillbilly.

"Name?" A cold voice came from behind the seat.

"My name is Ah Niu," Ah Niu replied dumbfoundedly.

The people around me laughed, this thing is not here to be funny. Everyone was thinking in their hearts.

"Put your hands on the stone in front of you," another cold voice came out.

Ah Niu looked left and right, and found that it was indeed for him, so he put his hand on the stone, and a yellow light rose to the sky.

A scream suddenly rang out in the hall, "Single Spirit Root, Earth Spirit Root." Hurry up and report to the ancestor", and soon counted until the light fell, several people of different shapes came over, and Ah Niu just looked at them stupidly.

"Do you want to die, don't you want to meet the ancestor" A cold voice sounded at Ah Niu

"Meet the Ancestor" Ah Niu lowered his head, bowed, and immediately stood aside.

"What's your name?" asked an old man with a white beard and white eyebrows. The old man also had a big gourd pinned to his waist, like an old fairy. He stared at Ah Niu with a grin.

"Qi Qi Ancestor, my name is Ah Niu. Ah Niu replied in a proper manner.

All the ancestors laughed when they heard this. A female ancestor in green clothes said with a smile, "Senior Brother Huang Da, your apprentice is quite interesting. ”

The white-bearded old man Huang Da spoke a dialect and said kindly to Ah Niu, "My name is Huang Da, and I am the ancestor of the Jindan period. You are one of the five ancestors of the Huoyun Sect, because you are a single earth spirit root like me, so you will follow me to cultivate in the future and be my apprentice, and your name, Ah Niu, is too indecent. Let me think about it, in this way, you see, the strength of the ox is very great, and our strength is also very great.

So apprentice, in the future, you will be called Niu Li, you see if it will work. “

Niu Li scratched his head and smirked and said, "Okay then, I'll be called Niu Li in the future." By the way, master, I didn't eat in the morning, and now I'm hungry, see if you can let me eat first. ”

All the ancestors looked at Niu Li and shook their heads with a smile, what kind of master is it, what kind of apprentice.

"Jin Zhen, take your junior brother to eat? Arrange a place for this junior brother Niu casually. A tall and imposing old Taoist said to a disciple next to him.

"The head of the ancestor, the disciple receives the order. Jin Zhen replied.

Niu Li followed Jin Zhen, looked left and right, and felt that this place was different from other places. Jin Zhen led Niu Li to the Sunyard first

, Let the principal disciple of the miscellaneous house give Niu Li a suit of inner disciple clothes, a storage bag, the storage bag is a mustard seed space used to store items, and it can be opened with spiritual power, which is very convenient. He also received a peachwood flying sword, which was just the simplest magic weapon, which could only fly in the air, and it was not fast. I also received a Chu Dan bottle, the Chu Dan bottle is a bottle for the pill, the ordinary bottle puts the pill, the pill is lost soon after, the pill bottle can protect the spirituality of the medicine for a long time, and there is a token symbolizing the inner disciple, the token also drops a drop of menstrual blood, if the inner disciple is in danger, the sect can follow the past. After receiving the things, Jin Zhen led Niu Li to the place where he lived, a small courtyard. Then he used the flying sword to take Niu Li around the Huoyun Sect and told Niu Li where the forbidden area was and the purpose of each area.

Listening to Niu Li's stomach gurgling, Jin Zhen looked at Niu Li, shook his head with a smile, and arrived at the dining hall by flying boat at Niu Li's request.

"Come in, there's food here, one meal every morning and one meal in the evening. ”

"Don't you have lunch at noon?" Niu Li asked stupidly.

"When you reach the foundation building period, you don't have to eat. Only new disciples like you come to eat. Therefore, there are not many meals prepared in the dining hall, which are enough for breakfast and dinner. Jin Zhen looked at Niu Li and explained.

Niu Li walked into the dining hall sullenly, and Jin Zhen also left.

"Ah Niu, here, here" Zhou Tong shook his hand and called Niu Li to go over to eat.

"I have a name, don't call me Ah Niu in the future, call me Niu Li in the future, my master gave me it. Hey. Niu Li said to Zhou Tong with a smirk.

"I see that you haven't come out, so I inquired about the senior brother at the door, and I found out that you went directly into the inner door, you are amazing! Zhou Tong asked curiously.

"I don't know, I was chosen in a daze, I touched a stone, and then they said that I was a single earth spirit root, and then an old man with a gourd took me as an apprentice. He also gave me a new name. Hehe. Niu Li was gobbling up his meal while explaining to Zhou Tong.

"The old man with the gourd, I'll it, that's Master Huang Da, one of the five ancestors of Huoyun, Master Jindan, Ah Niu, you have made it" Zhou Tong's eyes were full of envy and looked at Niu Li, who didn't have a little bit of food.

After eating, Niu Li and Zhou Tong separated, to be precise, Niu Li was called away.

Niu Li followed Xiao Daotong around the mountain road circle after circle, Niu Li was annoyed when he walked, and he was just about to ask Xiao Daotong where they were going. The little Taoist boy who led the way in front stopped and said

"When you arrive, there is Huang Shizu's cave in front, you can go in by yourself. After speaking, Xiao Daotong turned around and left.

Niu Li looked at the emptiness in front of him, and was directly stunned, how can there be any caves, there is not a single bird, and he thought forget it, since people say that there is, then I will try forward.

Niu Li took a step, and the scenery in front of him was immediately different, a small courtyard appeared in front of him, and the voice of Master Huang Da came from the courtyard.

"Come on, come in, I just have something to teach you. ”

Niu Li walked into the courtyard and saw Huang Da standing in the middle, followed by three inner disciples of the same age as Niu Li.

"Niu Li, this is your senior brother Ouyang Yun," Huang Da said.

Niu Li saw a Taoist priest with a thin face, a neat in his hair, and a broad-bladed sword behind him.

Niu Li immediately made a big salute to Ouyang Yun.

Master Huang Da saw that this Niu Li was usually stupid, but there was no shame in the etiquette, so he was very comforted and nodded with a smile. Go on

"The woman next to your senior brother is your second senior sister Liu Ruyan, if you don't understand anything about pills in the future, you can go to her for advice. ”

Niu Li raised his head and looked at the second senior sister, the second senior sister Liu Ruyan, wearing plain clothes, quiet and elegant like a lotus, really like a person, giving people the feeling of a mortal fairy, not very beautiful at first sight, but after looking at it for a long time, you will feel like a fairy. She didn't have to do anything, just stood there quietly, and it was the most beautiful scenery.

Niu Li made a big salute to the second senior sister and said, "Second senior sister is good." “

"Hello junior brother, don't be so restrained. The second senior sister smiled slightly and replied softly.

The master continued, "The one left is your third senior brother Zhao Huatao."

Niu Li looked up and saw that a teenager of the same grade as him was squeezing his nose and making eyes. The young man has red lips and white teeth, and is very sunny.

The young man saw that Niu Li was about to salute again, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Senior brother, there is no need to salute. In the future, if there is a senior brother to eat, there will be a junior brother to eat, and the senior brother will cover you. Zhao Huatao looked at Niu Li with a smile and said.

"Nothing big, no small, no one is right. Huang Da looked at Zhao Huatao and reprimanded.

"You all go out, I have something to say to your little junior brother. Huang Da said to everyone.

"Yes, master," the group replied.

After everyone left, Huang Da said, "

I'll teach you some common sense in the world of cultivating immortals. There are two kinds of people in this world we live in, one body cannot practice, and the other can practice, what is the matter with cultivation? Cultivation is to inhale the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into our body, so that the spiritual energy can refine the body, so that we can live longer, and make our mana stronger.

There are four stages of practice, sixteen levels. First of all, the first big stage is called the mortal stage, and people in the mortal stage cannot get rid of the shackles of the physical body, although they can fly to the heavens and the earth, they will die without the physical body.

The mortal stage is divided into: Qi training period, foundation building period, Jindan period, and Yuan infant stage. The next stage is called the real person stage. People in the real stage are no longer mortals, and their soul power, that is, their divine consciousness, is strong enough, even if they don't have a physical body, they can still be immortal and immortal, but their mana will be reduced. Of course, their divine consciousness can take away the flesh of others and be reborn. The real stage is divided into: incarnation stage, merger stage, infant transformation stage, and Mahayana stage. The next stage is the immortal stage, because our Huoyun Sect is handed down from ancient times, so we know it very well, and many other sects don't know the later stage, thinking that it is already very powerful when it comes to Mahayana. In fact, after the Mahayana period, there is also the stage of immortals. There are also four realms in the immortal stage, the Scattered Immortal Realm, the True Immortal Realm, the Golden Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Immortal Realm. There is another stage behind the immortal stage, and I heard that when you enter this stage, you can live with heaven and earth, shine with the sun and the moon, and be immortal and immortal. The immortal stage is followed by the god and man stage, and this stage also has four stages, the natural realm, the Xuanyuan realm, the rule realm, and the heaven and earth realm

Of course, many realms are just legends, let you know, just to guide you in the direction of efforts. As long as you reach the foundation building period, you will basically get rid of the mortal womb of the flesh, and each level has the beauty of each level. Let me tell you about the problem of cultivation, your spiritual root is a single earth spiritual root, which is already very top among many spiritual roots, but unfortunately our Huoyun Sect mainly cultivates fire-based exercises, and I also major in fire-based exercises, because I also have earth-based miscellaneous spiritual roots, so I also practice earth-based exercises, this "Earth-based Basic Exercises", "Cultivation World Common Sense Encyclopedia" and this "Encyclopedia of Spells" You take it, and you must practice diligently in the future. In the future, if you don't understand the practice, you can also ask your senior brothers. That's it, you go back. ”

Niu Li heard that the master had given an eviction order, immediately stood up, made a big salute, and slowly walked out of the yard.

Niu Li returned to his residence, bathed and changed his clothes, and felt the aura according to the instructions in the book. The book says that if you close your eyes and practice the method, you can feel the fluctuations of the aura around you, and then follow the route of the exercises, you can attract the aura into your body. Niu Li took a lot of effort to feel the existence of the aura, feel the existence of the aura, the next step, is to guide the aura into the body according to the book, but no matter how hard Niu Li tries, he can't attract the aura into the body.

After tossing all night, Niu Li did not succeed.

In the morning, as soon as the sun rose and Niu Li fell asleep, he heard a knock at the door.

"Fourth junior brother, are you there?" Zhao Huatao shouted loudly, slamming the door hard, it is estimated that he is smashing down, Niu Li is really going to change the door.

Niu Li closed his eyes and opened the door for Zhao Huatao.

"Still sleeping, let's go, go out with me," Zhao Huatao said with a smile as he looked at Niu Li.

Niu Li had no choice but to get dressed and follow Zhao Huatao out.

They came to the river, Zhao Huatao said

"Let's compete to catch fish, okay, junior brother, the fish caught is for Old Man Meng to boil fish soup, Old Man Meng loves to drink fish soup the most, he drank our fish soup and let him teach us a few tricks. After Zhao Huatao finished speaking, three pocket swords flew out of his body and flew towards the river, the small swords were like beating butterflies, and after a while, more than a dozen big fish were caught by Zhao Huatao and put into the bamboo basket.

Looking at Niu Li catching fish with his bare hands in the river, he didn't get a fish, but his whole body was drenched.

"Stupid junior brother, use spells to catch it," Zhao Huatao said with a laugh.

"Hehe, I don't know how to spell, senior brother, now I can't even enter the aura. Niu Li replied.

"By the way, you've just cultivated. Is it senior brother, you demonstrate the aura into the body, let me see what the problem is?" Zhao Huatao said.

Niu Li sat cross-legged and cultivated. A trace of aura surrounds Niu Li, but he can't get in. More and more aura gathered, Niu Li's forehead was covered with sweat, and white smoke rose from the top of his head.

"You're not right, you have to inhale and release to attract aura, instead of blindly inhaling aura," Zhao Huatao corrected Niu Li and said.

Niu Li followed Zhao Huatao's method, and sure enough, he felt a trace of aura entering his body.

"Senior brother, the aura has entered my body. Niu Li opened his eyes happily and said.

"You continue to stay here and cultivate, and I'll go over there and pick a flower for Granny Hua. Zhao Huatao said.

Niu Li continued to attract spiritual energy into his body according to Zhao Huatao's method, and suddenly a majestic spiritual power rushed out from inside Niu Li's body, and a spiritual power vortex centered on Niu Li and spun up. The spiritual power vortex swallowed up the spiritual power within a radius of ten miles, and all the spiritual power devoured entered Niu Li's body. A trace of golden spiritual power filaments in Niu Li's body gradually formed. Niu Li slowly opened his eyes.

Zhao Huatao went and returned, and when he saw that Niu Li was fine, he was relieved.

"Senior brother, what happened just now?" Zhao Huatao asked as he looked at Niu Li.

"What's wrong?" asked Niu Li in confusion.

"If you don't know, forget it, let's go, someone will definitely come to investigate in a while. Zhao Huatao said with rare seriousness.

Not long after Niu Li and Zhao Huatao left, a few disciples galloped over to investigate, but they didn't have a clue after investigating for a long time.

On the main hall of the Sect Master of the Fire Cloud Sect, Sect Master Zhao Wuji frowned and looked at the direction of Niu Li's practice just now, thinking about things in his heart.
