The years of cultivation are always monotonous and boring, and it has been more than a year since Liu Yiwen last returned from the peak in embarrassment. Since he was bullied by Wei Song last time, he has worked harder. Except for going to the school to listen to the teachings, he basically buried himself in penance. He went to the peak a few times occasionally, found some remote places to cultivate, and did not conflict with others. However, he still cultivates in his residence at most, so he also ends up quiet.

He is now twelve years old, and he is already an old disciple at the beginning. His face looked a little different from before he entered, and his round face became more angular.

Now his eyes were fixed on his fingertips. Half a foot high with his fingertips raised, a sudden mana fluctuation occurred, and a few sparks were suspended there out of thin air. Slowly, Mars began to rotate around a certain orbit, first slowly and then faster, until finally so fast that each Mars formed a bright white circle. There was a "whoosh", as if a torch had been lit, and a white fireball the size of a baby's fist appeared. As soon as this fireball appeared, a wave of high-temperature veneers came to make people feel parched.

Liu Yiwen's eyes were glued to this fireball, as if he was looking at some treasure. The fireball remained silent, neither growing nor extinguishing. Beads of sweat ran down his cheeks, and his breathing became thick and heavy. It was as if this fireball was carrying a thousand pounds for every second it existed.

After just a few breaths, the fireball, which seemed calm just now, began to tremble. The flames flickered as if they were blown by a strong wind. His brows were tightly knit, and the beads of sweat on his head became denser and denser, as if he was enduring great pain. The fireball failed to stabilize after all, and it collapsed with a muffled "bang"!

Liu Yiwen snorted, his face was pale as if he was seriously ill. He leaned against the edge of the bed and gasped for air.

It was a long time before he shook his head and sighed. He had failed again, and he couldn't remember how many times! He had just practiced one of the most common offensive spells for beginners, the "Fireball Technique". Originally, he thought that such a simple spell should be caught, but he practiced for more than twenty days in a row and still failed, which couldn't help but make him a little frustrated.

Just a month ago, his diligence finally paid off. The spiritual power in the jade pool was filled to the point where it could no longer be absorbed, and the squeezed mana had no catharsis in the body, and it was stirring restlessly. These spiritual powers rushed left and right, and finally broke through the confinement and made him reach the initial realm of qi refining. This couldn't help but make him ecstatic and excited for a while.

Then he began to think about what kind of spell to practice. After some careful consideration, I decided to choose the most basic "Fireball Technique" to try. It may be that he failed to adapt to the first time he learned the spell, so he failed many times in a row.

At this time, the mana in his jade pool had been consumed, and he had to interrupt today's practice. He was only in the early stage, and his mana could only support the use of this technique seven or eight times.

"I didn't expect a fireball technique to be so difficult, it seems that I am still too optimistic about the cultivation of spells!" he muttered to himself as he stared blankly at the void where the fireball had disappeared.

For learning this first spell on the path of cultivating immortals, he was fully prepared. Not to mention that I paid special attention to the explanation of spells in the school, even if I went to the "Heart Law Pavilion" to ask for advice, there were no less than three trips. Originally, I thought that I had done my homework a lot, and I only needed to practice this fireball technique a dozen times. Unfortunately, this was very different from the expected effect, and he had only just experienced the difficulty of learning spells for the first time.

He tried to calm himself down, carefully remembering the scene of the spell he had just cast. This is a habit that he has gradually developed since his cultivation - do his homework well in advance and analyze it carefully afterwards. After thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, he stood up, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go to the "Heart Law Pavilion" to learn the scriptures.

Suddenly, someone outside the door called him.

"Senior Brother Liu, open the door quickly! haha!"

As soon as he heard this shout, he knew that Senior Brother Wen was coming, and opened the door to welcome Senior Brother in. Wen Tao has also been here four or five times in the past two years, and he is the closest person to him in the sect.

"Senior brother, why do you have time to come to me today!" he asked with a smile.

"Haha, you can't guess this time. I'm here to do serious business!" Senior Brother Wen smiled proudly, dragging the word "serious" for a long time.

"Oh, what other serious can you do? I've never seen anything serious other than come here to play tricks on me and show off your little spells!" he also bit the word "serious" very hard.

"You're very wrong this time, absolutely serious. Wen Tao smiled mysteriously, looking unfathomable.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Well, pour a cup of tea first. I'm a little thirsty after walking for so long!" he said deliberately unhurriedly.

Liu Yiwen didn't know that his senior brother was deliberately playing tricks on him, but he didn't bother to play tricks with him, so he poured down a glass of water and said, "Senior brother, please drink tea!"

Wen Tao took a sip of tea with satisfaction, looking very useful, and said, "Well, this time I was ordered by my master to take you to Yuquan Cave Mansion." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yiwen was a little surprised, since he was accepted as a registered disciple last time, this master has not summoned him once, what will happen this time?

"Does that senior brother know what the master is looking for me?" he asked cautiously.

"Well, I don't think anything bad will happen, the master seemed to be in a good mood when he told me. Senior Brother Wen thought for a while and said.

"Don't let the master wait for a long time, let's hurry to Yuquan Mountain to recover our lives!" Liu Yiwen said with some apprehension in his heart.

"Look at how excited you are, let Brother Wei finish this cup of tea before leaving!" Wen Tao said disapprovingly.

Half an hour later, Liu Yiwen had already arrived at Shen Zhaodong's Cave Mansion. The last time he came here, he was just enlightened, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but be in a trance. The two of them walked briskly to the living room and stood still, where the master was already waiting for them.

"I've seen the master!" the two of them stepped forward together.

Yiwen has grown a lot taller, and his appearance has changed a little. Shen Zhaodong said to the two with a smile, and couldn't help but look at Liu Yiwen. A faint wisp of purple qi flashed in his eyes, and he returned to normal in an instant.

continued: "With your qualifications, you have reached the initial stage of qi refining in two years, and it seems that you have worked hard!" casually picked up the fragrant tea on the table and took a sip and said lightly.

"Thank you, master, for the compliment!" Liu Yiwen said modestly. The scene where the master checked the cultivation just now was in his eyes. This kind of spell called "Divine Eye Technique" is used by immortal cultivators to observe the realm of cultivation, and it can also detect the existence of the invisible, but it cannot detect high-level immortal cultivators who deliberately conceal their cultivation.

Shen Zhaodong continued: "The last time you came here, a few of us were actually discussing going to Zhenhai County Niuzhuang to hunt a silver Jiao. Although there were some twists and turns, it was a success in the end. When everyone discussed the distribution of items together, there was an extra half of Jiao blood. At that time, Immortal Master Xiao proposed to give a meeting gift to your juniors as a few people, and several other people also agreed. In fact, half of Jiao's blood is nothing to our existence, and this Shunshui favor master will take it. And it's been with me ever since. ”

Unexpectedly, pies really fell from the sky, and such a good thing actually fell on his head. Liu Yiwen was excited in his heart, and he remained silent on the surface. The essence blood of the sixth-level demon beast, he didn't dare to think about it!

He was still thinking about how to use this Jiao Blood, when he heard the master speak again: "Jiao Blood has unexpected benefits for improving the physique of immortal cultivators, especially the effect of low-cost cultivators is more obvious. However, the essence blood of this sixth-level silver Jiao was too domineering for you and the others. After thinking about it for a while, I closed my share, combined it with some of the materials I had gathered, and used them to refine a furnace of elixir. I didn't discuss this with you. ”

As soon as he heard the master's words, he dared to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "This half bottle of Jiao blood was given by all the uncles and uncles in the face of the master. The disciple doesn't dare to receive the merit, and everything is left to the master!"

"That's very good! This furnace has refined a total of six 'marrow cleansing pills'. Except for a few of the same disciples who used four pills, you can take the remaining two pills here!Besides, it is best to save this pill until the initial peak before taking it. Although this pill is not specifically used to break through bottlenecks, if you take the pill for the first time and the grade of this pill is not low, it should increase your chances of advancement. Shen Zhaodong nodded and smiled, and took out a jade bottle from his arms.

He thanked him and hurriedly stepped forward to take the "marrow cleansing pill".

When the cultivation of the current realm reaches the consummation and enters the next realm, it will encounter a bottleneck. Its existence is to enable immortal cultivators to absorb more spiritual energy, and they will not be able to enter a higher realm. It's like pouring water into a full cup, then the water overflows and the amount of water doesn't increase. The only way to hold more water is to turn the cup into a kettle.

Generally speaking, bottlenecks exist between each realm, and the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through, and the more difficult it is to cross the bottleneck of the great realm! This is the reason why there are few high-level monks. Since the "Cleansing Pill" has such benefits, it must be used only when the bottleneck is broken.

"Letting you come over this time is a matter of blood. The second is to see how well you are cultivating, but you are also very pleased to be so diligent as a teacher. The middle stage of qi refining is the basic threshold for the disciples of this sect, and when they reach this realm, they will be accepted by the uncles and uncles of each peak for personal guidance. Another point I want to say is: in addition to improving cultivation, you must also strengthen the practice of swordsmanship and spells. After all, the fighting method is not purely comparing the depth of mana. Especially for our sword cultivation, the importance of cultivating the art of the sword is no worse than the ascension of the realm. Shen Zhaodong solemnly reminded.

"The disciple kept it in mind, but I don't know how to drive the flying sword yet. He said curtly.

"Well, the art of the sword is different from the general exorcism, there are special sword techniques and cultivation methods. I have a copy of the Vajra Sword Technique here, but I need to practice it in the middle of Qi refining. Wait until you reach the middle stage, and then slowly come to your senses!"

Shen Zhaodong stretched out his hand, and a somewhat yellowed book was taken into his hand, and he handed it to Liu Yiwen and said: "There is a note on it from the time when he was a teacher, you can use it as a reference." ”

"Thank you, master!" he took it with joy.

"In the future, you must continue to cultivate hard, and strive to be accepted by me as soon as possible. Shen Zhaodong said solemnly.

"Yes, master!"

"Okay, Wen Tao, you send your junior brother back to the Sword Grinding Peak, and by the way, explain to him the use of the Cleansing Pill!" Shen Zhaodong commanded.

Liu Yiwen is sitting on the bed now in a really good mood. On the way back just now, this senior brother explained the use of the pill in detail. Then he said that he also got a share of the "Cleansing Pill", which can be regarded as staining his light. He gave him a red gourd and a shuttle-shaped flying magic weapon, which was his long-cherished treasure.

This red gourd was not difficult to use, and under the guidance of Senior Brother Wen, he quickly mastered it. Now I'm excited to collect the items one by one, and then release them, and I'm not tired of it. Obviously, I enjoyed the feeling of casting immortal spells.

At last he was a little tired from playing, and stopped tossing the newfound treasure, and lay down on the bed and began to think. He was still six years away from turning eighteen years old, and he couldn't relax in his cultivation. As for the study of spells, he also had to hurry up and master them. There is also the sword technique that the master gave him, and he can slowly comprehend it when he has time, which is the foundation of settling down in the cultivation realm in the future!

Unconsciously, he played with the jade pendant on his chest again. Although he didn't understand the usefulness of this thing now, he still obeyed Mr. Huang's instructions and kept wearing it in front of him. Now he is used to touching this jade pendant when he has nothing to do and guessing his background.

Three months later, Liu Yiwen came to the martial arts hall in the apse. He had already inquired about this place, and it was a place to test the power of spells and compete with his peers. Although it is called a "hall", it is actually a five-storey attic. The first floor is the place where the cultivation is inspected and registered, and the second and third floors each have a teleportation circle, and the teleportation points are the places where some demon beasts are active. And the object of his test was these low-level demon beasts. After all, in this attic, you can't just put a fireball, a sword blade or something, and no matter how strong the house is, it can't withstand their tossing. There are several large arenas on the fourth floor that are used for the same competition. As for the fifth layer, he inquired but didn't know what it was.

After checking the identity jade plate, he went straight to the second layer. I saw that there is not much space here, about ten zhang square. Not far in front of him, two young men in their twenties were meditating on a futon. Hearing footsteps, the two opened their eyes and looked at him. Liu Yiwen arched his hand towards the two of them and said, "Two senior brothers, I want to find a place to try the spell." ”

One of the young men with a white turban on his head said, "Have you decided where to go? If it is the first time to experiment, I recommend you to go to Earth Turtle Island." After all, the earth turtle there only has a turtle shield defensive spell, and its movement speed is not fast. ”

He had learned about the martial arts hall on the second floor, and there were more than a dozen teleportation places. There are all kinds of low-level demon beasts in these places, including flame birds, ghost cats, tarantulas, ground crack pythons, blue foxes, etc. This demon beast called the Earth Turtle is indeed more suitable for novices. So he replied, "Okay, let's go to Turtle Island." I'm sorry to trouble the two senior brothers!"

After speaking, the senior brother handed over a talisman seal and said, "Take it, stand in the center of the circle." ”

"Yes!" he replied!

At some point, a circular disc with a diameter of two zhang in the center of the hall flickered brightly and dimly. It has a hexagonal pattern in the middle, engraved with various esoteric runes, exuding a faint spiritual light.

Liu Yiwen held the talisman seal in his hand and walked quickly to the center of the circle to stand still. He slowly poured mana into the talisman seal in his hand, and suddenly a faint yellow light shield enveloped him.

The young man in the white scarf pinched the trick with his fingers, and the words in his mouth were recited, and the magic circle gradually brightened as he cast the spell. He pointed his hand at the circle, and it suddenly glowed with a dazzling light that made it impossible to look at it directly. Then all the brilliance disappeared, and Liu Yiwen was no longer seen in the same place.
