Time flies, and so does the climate.

After Xu Bing returned to the sect, his days were similar to before, practicing at night, and during the day, he would go to the Thunder Immortal Bazaar with Shen Cong to earn some spirit stones. But it didn't take long for the road to be broken, and the two had to go to the Mission Pavilion to continue.

One day half a month later, Xu Bing walked out of the thatched hut and saw the mountains covered with white snow, covering several peaks around him tightly, and from a distance, they looked like several huge steamed buns.

At this time, the temperature was also much colder, but now that Xu Bing, who had cultivated in the middle of the mortal realm, had an aura to protect his body, he couldn't feel a trace of coldness.

Xu Bing stood quietly in a place on the side of the mountain, looking at the large snow in front of him, and suddenly remembered his father and sister at home.

Lin'er especially likes to watch the snow, in previous years, when it snowed, she would always drag Xu Bing to the yard to watch the snow together, and when she was happy, she would naughtily pick up snowballs to hit Xu Bing.

Although Xu Bing is a little cold, he loves Lin'er's sister very much, whenever this happens, he will let go of all seriousness and play with Lin'er, always making Lin'er laugh constantly.

There is also Xu Tianrong, when Xu Bing and Lin'er were still young, if there was nothing to deal with, he would always sit in the hall and watch the two children play, always with a loving smile on his face.

Now seeing this large piece of snow, Xu Bing naturally thought of Xu Tianrong and Lin'er, turned around slowly, and looked in the direction where Fan Cheng was. Although he couldn't see anything through the mountain, he could feel that Xu Tianrong and Lin'er were waiting for him to go back.

Xu Bing bent down, squatted on the snow, reached out to grab a ball of snow, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart. Nearly a year has passed quickly, but in previous years, he had never been separated from his family for so long, so it was inevitable that he would miss it a little in his heart.

After standing for a while again, Xu Bing decided to go back to Fancheng to see his father and sister Lin'er, so he got up and walked towards the hut, ready to explain to his master.

Ma Yujian was sitting at the table in the hut, as if he knew that Xu Bing was here, and made a special trip to wait again.

Xu Bing saw Ma Yujian and said his thoughts, but Ma Yujian sighed and said to Xu Bing, "Disciples, they all say that the cultivation realm is cruel, but if you say that the most cruel thing is not the killing and darkness of the cultivation realm, but the ruthlessness of the monks. Now that you have entered the realm of cultivation, you must slowly cut off the trivialities of this mortal world, so that you can concentrate on your cultivation."

"Master, the apprentice just goes back to see his family, and he can return to the sect in three or five days at most, and I hope that the master will be gracious!" Xu Bing still wanted to go back and have a look, and insisted.

When Ma Yujian heard this, he sighed again and continued, "Apprentice, you still don't understand the meaning of being a teacher, since you have entered the path of cultivating the truth, it is very likely that you will be thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, and it is also possible that one day you will die in the mountains and forests, you have to break the thoughts of this mortal world as much as possible."

After hearing this, Xu Bing was a little silent, and then Ma Yujian continued, "That's it, there is still a year before the two sects, you can practice hard during this time, and when the two sects are over, you will be allowed to return to your hometown once as a teacher."

When Xu Bing heard this, his face suddenly rose with a little joy, thanked his master, and asked, "Master, what are these two great comparisons?"

Ma Yujian naturally knew that Xu Bing didn't understand, and also explained to him, "This is a competition between the disciples of our Thunder Immortal Sect and the Cloud Saint Sect, there will be a competition every ten years, if you can get the top three in the big competition, you can get the rich rewards given by the two sects."

Ma Yujian said, and glanced at Xu Bing's expression, and found that the other party didn't seem to have changed much, he was a little embarrassed, and then continued, "The type of reward for this competition is not fixed, there are pills, magic weapons, or exercises, of course, the spirit stone is the most basic, for the teacher to see that your brother and sister are keen on the spirit stone, if you can get the first place in the big competition, in addition to other rewards, the light spirit stone can get a reward of one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

When Xu Bing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty, "Master said that the first place will be rewarded with a hundred spirit stones"?

Ma Yujian looked at Xu Bing, a little helpless, thinking that his apprentice is usually very smart, how can he be a little stupid, "What the teacher said is a hundred high-grade spirit stones, not low-grade spirit stones." Do you know how many lower-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a hundred high-grade spirit stones?"

Looking at Xu Bing's head that shook slightly, Ma Yujian said proudly, "One million, one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones, so one hundred is one million lower-grade spirit stones."

Hearing what Ma Yujian said, even with Xu Bing's temperament, his eyes showed great surprise, obviously yearning for this million spirit stone reward. He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Master, if you want to get the first place in the two great competitions, what kind of cultivation do you need?"

Ma Yujian looked at Xu Bing and said, "Disciple, this cultivation is important, but this is only one of your own strength. It's like a person's foundation, but at the same time, the magic weapons and supernatural powers that help to improve your strength cannot be ignored, even if your cultivation is one or two times higher than others, but if the other party's magic weapons and spells are stronger than you, then you can't win."

Xu Bing agreed with Shizun's words very much, and nodded while listening, after all, when he fought with Zhao Kun before, he also had the advantage of magic weapons and spells, otherwise the other party was higher than his own cultivation, and there were many people, at that time, he who only had the dual cultivation of the mortal body and realm, would definitely not be their opponent.

Ma Yujian didn't stop in his mouth, and continued, "This magic weapon is used by monks below the Void Realm, and monks above the Spirit Realm are used by spiritual weapons. The so-called spiritual weapon is a magic weapon that is instilled with the power of the soul, and the monks of the spiritual realm not only have spiritual energy in their bodies, but also give birth to the power of the soul, and when refining the magic weapon, the power of the magic weapon will be much higher than that of ordinary magic weapons, this is the spiritual weapon."

Ma Yujian looked at Xu Bing again as he spoke, pointed to his waist and said, "The dagger that was given to you before the master was a spiritual weapon that the master once refined when he was in the spirit realm."

After listening to the words of the master, Xu Bing now has a little understanding of the monk's magic weapon, it turns out that this magic weapon is also different, the cultivation realm is different, the magic weapon used is also different, and its power is naturally different.

Ma Yujian also told Xu Bing that the rewards of these two big competitions, in addition to the million spirit stones, if it is a magic weapon, it is also a magic weapon at the spirit weapon level.

After Ma Yujian's narration, Xu Bing made up his mind to participate in these two competitions.

But Ma Yujian also set a goal for Xu Bing to practice, and in the next period of time, he will personally teach Xu Bing to practice.

It's just that Xu Bing learned from Ma Yujian that in the next time, cultivation will not be as easy as before, and even his life will be in danger.

Looking at Ma Yujian's serious expression, Xu Bing agreed directly without the slightest worry. So, in the next period of time, Xu Bing was going to leave the sect temporarily with Ma Yujian, but he didn't tell Xu Bing how to practice.
