Xiao Bei is the sixth-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, and she can only use the earth fire to refine the pill.

And renting an earth fire room requires fifty lower grade spirit stones every month. Buying materials, I spent more than three hundred lower-grade spirit stones. Taken together, it cost nearly four hundred lower-grade spirit stones. Seeing these spirit stones flowing out of the storage bag, Lin Hui had a painful look on his face. But in order to improve his cultivation, he could only count the spirit stones and hand them over to others while his heart was dripping blood.

After returning to the Dianxuan Sect, Lin Hui mainly focused on comprehending the sword technique, and the cultivation of the longevity technique and the five spirit quenching body and nine changes were relegated to a secondary position. In Dabi, his main attack method is still the sword technique. It is necessary to use this short period of a few days to become proficient as soon as possible.

Through the cultivation of the past few days, Lin Hui is basically familiar with the Nine Styles of Breaking the Heavens, Returning to Tibet, and the Secret of Life and Death. As for the Nine Styles of Breaking the Heavens, he can still only use the first style, and the Guizang Sword Technique can only use the three forms, and the two styles of life and death are already familiar. But the three styles of the Guizang Sword Technique can be derived from a thousand changes, and Lin Hui already has some ideas during this time, just think about it slowly, and maybe there will be a little understanding.

Early morning.

The triennial sect competition of the Dianxuan faction kicked off. The other three major sects of the Xuanyin Mountain Range, the Dream Xuanzong, the Xuanling Sect, and the Xuanfeng Cave, according to the usual practice, all sent people to watch the ceremony. Of course, the people of the three major sects came here for the sake of the inner disciples of the Dianxuan Sect. As for the outer disciples, Dabi, they were not interested.

Dabi, an outer disciple, was arranged on a flat ground on the west side of Lingwu Mountain. The inner disciples, on the other hand, are on the flat ground on the east side.

The East is respected. Judging from Dabi alone, we can know the difference between the status of the inner disciples and the outer disciples.

The Dabi of the outer disciples is in charge of two elders who are depressed in the sect. The rest of the elders all went to participate in the big competition of the inner disciples. In this regard, the two elders in charge of the outer gate Dabi were naturally angry, but they were powerless.

......

On the flat ground on the west side of Lingwu Mountain, almost all the outer disciples of the Dianxuan Sect gathered at this time, and those who were able to come came regardless of whether they were qualified to participate or not. The Dianxuan Sect stipulates that only those who have reached the second level of cultivation in the Qi cultivation period are eligible to participate in the sect competition. But those disciples who were at the first level of the Qi cultivation period, and those who had not even reached the first level of the Qi cultivation period, except for some of them who were in charge of the affairs in the process of Dabi, all came to join in the fun.

After all, most of the disciples who were not eligible to participate in the sect competition were recruited when they recruited disciples three years ago. The first time they experienced the sect competition, they were naturally interested, and they came early.

Most of the outer disciples are the Four Spirit Root qualifications, and only a dozen or so disciples who have entered the Dianxuan Sect through special methods are the Five Spirit Root qualifications. For example, Lin Hui is a five-spirit root qualification, and he became an outer disciple of the Dianxuan Sect by saving Elder Lei. And the disciples with the qualifications of the Three Spirit Roots were directly classified among the inner disciples when they were recruited.

Right now, there are more than 500 outer disciples gathered on the flat ground. From teens to thirty or forty years old. Those who are not eligible to participate in the big competition are all in a semicircle, and those who are eligible are divided into ten rows and stand neatly in the middle of the semicircle, looking ahead with a look full of excitement.

The first place in the first row is Mu Rongfeng. He had a very high reputation among the outer disciples, so he was naturally pushed to the first position. However, Lin Hui, the newly promoted fourth-level Qi cultivation stage cultivator, the second master second only to Mu Rongfeng in strength in the eyes of the outer disciples, stood in a very inconspicuous position in the middle of the fifth row.

Even so, Lin Hui still felt the excited expressions of the senior brothers around him, and there was more envy under the excitement. But there are also some people who are jealous. Those who envied Lin Hui greeted Lin Hui friendly, and Lin Hui also responded one by one, with a modest attitude, without any arrogance, giving people a sense of intimacy.

Through constant conversations, Lin Hui's relationship with several brothers around him gradually became closer.

Suddenly, Lin Hui stopped smiling and glanced in one direction. There, he felt a sense of murderous intent.

Suddenly, a face met Lin Hui's eyes. Lin Hui's pupils shrank suddenly, and he recognized this person, as if his name was Yan Song, one of the disciples who came to make trouble outside his house.

Facing Lin Hui's gaze, the corners of Yan Song's mouth curled slightly, evoking a sneer. The gloomy gaze staring at Lin Hui was full of murderous intent.

Lin Hui pursed his lips and muttered, "If there is a problem! If you have the ability, you will directly fight in the big competition." I only know how to look at people with this kind of eyes, and my uncle despises you!"

Not bothering to pay attention to Yan Song, Lin Hui continued to smile and talk with the disciples around him.

"Hmph, let you be proud first! When the time comes, you will be defeated under Senior Brother Mu, how can you still be proud?" Yan Song said secretly in his heart.

On the flat ground, all kinds of conversations continued, and it seemed lively and lively.

Opposite the outer disciples, sitting behind a rectangular table covered with a yellow cloth were the two elders of the sect and the two deacons of the outer gate. In the far corner of the table, a young man with a brush in his hand and a dozen thick pieces of rice paper in front of him sit. Two deacons sit on either side, while the elders are in the center. Behind them, there was a steep stone wall with clusters of grass and vines, green and green.

"Deacon Joe, declare Dabi to begin!" said one of the elders suddenly. There was a lot of impatience on his face, and it could be seen that he didn't want to stay here for even a moment.

"Yes!" Deacon Joe stood up and bowed respectfully to the elder who had spoken. Immediately, he turned to face the disciples who were about to participate in the big competition, and shouted, "Silence!"

Suddenly, the conversation gradually stopped.

Deacon Qiao glanced at the cooperation of those outer disciples with satisfaction, and then began a long speech before Dabi. As for the content of the speech. It is nothing more than to introduce the origin of Dabi, the glory that the outer gate once had, and hope that the disciples can go to the next level. Almost every three years, the big competition is about the same speech.

Nothing new.

Those disciples who had experienced one or several big competitions showed impatience on their faces. But I had to keep listening.

In the end, with the eyes of all the outer disciples looking through the autumn water, Deacon Qiao finally carried out the content of the speech to the end: "Okay! I announce! The 65th Outer Disciple Dabi of the Dianxuan Sect starts now!"

This last sentence is the best sentence heard by everyone present. After these words landed, there was warm applause, and their faces showed a look of relief.

"Anyone who meets the conditions to participate in the big competition will go to Deacon Zhang to draw lots. After Deacon Joe said this, he sat down directly. Actually, he didn't want to talk about that nonsense, but this was a part of the procedure that had to be carried out.

Zhang Wanshan had already placed a boxy wooden box with four hundred and six small wooden plaques in it. And those disciples, in front of the sect elders and the deacons of the outer sect, naturally did not dare to make a mistake, and they all lined up peacefully, walked towards Zhang Wanshan one by one, and drew the wooden cards for the battle.

Then, go to the young man sitting at the edge of the table and register the wooden number and name. This is done for the sake of Dabi's fairness. Otherwise, these disciples changed the wooden cards in private, and no one knew, and the big match would lose its meaning.

And at the outer gate, there is an unwritten rule. That is, anyone who has reached the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period will directly enter the top ten disciples of the outer sect and participate in the final finals. Mu Rongfeng reached the fourth level of the Qi training period five years ago, but in the last big competition, for some reason, he didn't have time to rush back to participate. Otherwise, with his cultivation at the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period, this time he should have participated in the Inner Disciple Competition.

Despite this, Lin Hui and Mu Rongfeng, the two fourth-level masters of the Qi cultivation period among the disciples of the outer sect now, still came to participate in the opening ceremony of the big competition.

Now, when everyone has drawn lots, the ceremony will be over. The official big competition will start immediately.

For the competition that is not of the same level, Lin Hui and Mu Rongfeng are not interested in watching it. Therefore, they all unanimously chose to leave.

The two met at the stone steps descending the mountain.

Mu Rongfeng looked at Lin Hui with slightly squinted eyes, a cold glint flashed in the gap between those eyes, and said coldly: "You and I are inevitable! ”

"Cut! I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Lin Hui pursed his lips and said disdainfully. Immediately, he walked briskly down the mountain without even looking at Mu Rongfeng.

A monk on the fourth and fifth floors of the Qi cultivation period, Lin Hui killed in the Yunmeng Swamp I don't know how many. Mu Rongfeng was only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, and he dared to treat him with such an attitude, Lin Hui was naturally extremely disdainful. If Mu Rongfeng really wanted to find death, Lin Hui could fulfill him. Even if he didn't use the power cultivated through the Five Spirit Quenching Body and Nine Transformation Techniques, just by using spiritual power, he was sure to kill Mu Rongfeng. After all, his spiritual power also produced a little change when he cultivated the Five Spirits Quenching Body Nine Transformation Technique, bringing a trace of noble aura. What's more, Lin Hui was preparing to attack the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period in the near future, so that he could win in challenging the core disciples.

Lin Hui had such an attitude, where could Mu Rongfeng, who had been in the first position of the outer disciple for five years, stand it, and suddenly became furious, his fists were clenched tightly, making a crisp sound of "rattle", and the eyes that looked at Lin Hui seemed to be burning with anger, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

"You're looking for death! I can't complain that I'm cruel to you in the big competition. Mu Rongfeng gritted his teeth and said with hatred in his heart.

......

Back in the house, Lin Hui continued to comprehend the sword technique. Other things could not affect his state at this time.

Pan Yu didn't go to the ceremony of the outer disciples, he devoted himself to cultivation. Even Lin Hui's return, he didn't know. Just sit cross-legged by the side of the room and meditate and breathe.

Finally, there are such good conditions for cultivation, and Pan Yu will naturally not waste it. Although he did not have the opportunity to participate in the sect competition, he was confident that he could achieve a good result in the sect competition three years later. Part of this confidence comes from his own persistence, and the other part comes from Lin Hui.

At this time, Pan Yu had complete confidence in Lin Hui.

Inside the house, Lin Hui comprehended the sword trick of returning to Tibet. At the moment, among the three sets of sword tricks, only the Guizang sword trick was the most elusive to Lin Hui. Even after he cultivated the Five Spirits Quenching Body Nine Transformation Technique, not only did his cultivation speed increase greatly, but his comprehension also improved a lot, it was still difficult to completely comprehend the Returning to the Tibetan Sword Technique. That kind of feeling of fiction and reality, true and false, always made Lin Hui feel ambiguous.

When night fell, after Lin Hui had eaten, he began to cultivate the secret of immortality. The evening time was divided into two parts by him, the first half of the night to practice the longevity formula, and the second half of the night to practice the five spirit quenching body and nine transformation techniques.

Due to the lack of pure spiritual power absorption, relying on absorbing the spiritual power in the air to refine the meridians, progress was slow. For so many days, he had only refined one or two meridians.

And the longevity technique, after refining the Great Tonic Pill, is still one step away from entering the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period. But after this period of cultivation, Lin Hui felt that he was getting closer and closer to the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period.

Three days later.

The preliminary round of the outer disciple competition has been completed, and out of four hundred and six disciples, two hundred and three disciples will be decided. As for the two hundred and three disciples who failed, they did not lose hope, they would have one more chance, that is, they would continue to compare with the one hundred and one who failed after the rematch with the two hundred and three disciples who had won, so as to determine the top twenty for the next round of competition.

However, the competition of these outer disciples has nothing to do with Lin Hui for the time being. He just waited for the top eight to come out and go to the finals.

......

"Bang!"

A trace of spiritual power seemed to turn into a sword qi, hitting the prohibition in front of a door, causing a ripple, and there was a muffled sound of "bang".

In front of the door, there stood a young man in a green shirt with an ordinary face, holding his hands behind his back, looking at the door casually, as if he waved it casually just now, and the sword qi transformed by the spiritual power hit the door, which would not cause the disgust of the owner in the door.

Suddenly, the prohibition in front of the door disappeared. Immediately after, the door was opened from the inside, and out came a cute nun with an apple face. At this time, the female cultivator's face was full of coquettishness and helplessness, but in the eyes of the young man, it was another kind of cuteness, which caused the young man to laugh for a while.

This young man and the apple-faced female correction are Lin Hui and Xiao Bei.

"When you come here, can't you use the messenger to tell me to come out and open the door in a serious way?

"Oh! Little Beibei! Isn't it quick! How troublesome it is to use the messenger! Look, I waved my hand casually, and you came out directly. How convenient, how simple!" Lin Hui said with a smile.

Xiao Bei was helpless for Lin Hui to call her Xiao Beibei for a long time, but Lin Hui just liked to call her that, no matter how she said it, it was useless, and in the end, he let him call her like that.

"Hmph! Xiao Beijiao said angrily.

For a while, her expression contained infinite charm in this coquettishness, and Lin Hui was stunned for a while.

"Well, this is the big tonic pill you want. It should be enough for you to cultivate to the fifth level of the Qi cultivation period. If you are willing to spend the spirit stone and buy better materials to refine the Condensation Pill, it will be easier to break through to the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period. Xiao Beisai gave Lin Hui a storage bag and said.

"Anyway, it's okay to use the Great Tonic Pill now, and the materials for refining the Great Tonic Pill are cheap and cost-effective! Saving spirit stones is the last word! Brother doesn't have much spirit stone to spend. Lin Hui took the storage bag. Justified.

"Pretend to be poor!" Xiao Bei's two words exposed Lin Hui's lies.

Lin Hui was embarrassed for a while. He laughed for a while, and said, "In order to thank you for helping to refine the Great Tonic Pill! I have a treat and take you to the Drunken Immortal Residence for a big meal." ”

"Eat a big meal? I want to eat braised fish, eat back to the pot meat!" As soon as she heard that there was something to eat, Xiao Bei immediately changed her face, her expression was excited, her eyes lit up, she applauded happily, and immediately said her two favorite dishes.

Seeing Xiao Bei's eyes, Lin Hui was stunned. It wasn't until now that he discovered that Xiao Bei still had a habit of eating. He began to calculate in his heart, whether he was going to leak a lot of money this time, and at the same time, a sense of regret arose in his heart.

Lin Hui was secretly annoyed.

......

In order to save money as much as possible, Lin Hui did not go to the fourth floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence, even if he is now a Qianling household, compared to his cultivation, he already has a lot of property, but he is used to living a poor life without spirit stones, and his thrifty heart still can't tolerate his extravagance and waste.
