After Zhong Wuzhi took He Ding away, the trial of entering the mountain was still going on, but there was less to see, and some demon cultivators who had already failed saw that the two demons had been taken away, and felt that the remaining trials were boring, so they chose to leave. This time, the foot of Niuqi Mountain was a lot deserted.

After a long wait, it was finally time for the sun to set. The white-haired ape looked at Qi Dao, the number of people on the last day of the mountain trial was much smaller than before, and there were still a few demon cultivators who stayed in more than thirty layers on Qi Dao, but only one cat demon climbed to the fiftieth floor and passed the trial on this day.

The white-haired ape counted, and there were six people who had passed the trial this time. He Ding and Long Li, Mantu and the weasel demon named Red Eyebrows, the tiger demon named Claw, and finally the cat demon named Luo Meimei.

"There is one less than the last time, but this time there are two demons, and I am hopeful for the revitalization of Niu Qishan. A hint of relief flashed in the white-haired ape's eyes and said.

The scarcity of the number of disciples and elders has always been the biggest shortcoming of Niu Qi Mountain, Niu Qi Mountain recruits disciples once every ten years, and there are less than ten people in total, and the most powerful Righteous Qi Alliance can recruit hundreds of disciples from the entire Central Plains region every four years, so in this comparison, the gap is obvious. Although the threshold for selecting disciples in Niu Qishan is higher, with the accumulation of time, the quantitative change has become a qualitative change, and its background is far from being comparable to the Righteous Qi Alliance.

In fact, if it weren't for the Kui Niu Ancestor in charge, Niu Qishan would not be a first-class demon cultivation force at all in terms of scale. There are as many demon cultivators in the world as there are more people than Niu Qishan, but they can't be counted as first-class forces, because there are no strong people in the Tribulation Period.

Because as long as a strong person in the Tribulation Period waves his hand, a sect that does not have the Tribulation Period can be destroyed in an instant. The number of people in their realm was just a joke.

I'm sorry, I can wipe you all out with one hand.

Therefore, the strength of a force is judged not by the strength of the grassroots level, nor by the number of people, but by the top strength of the sect.

Why do all the cultivation forces value elite disciples so much and focus on cultivating highly gifted disciples? It is because they are likely to become the next Tribulation Period powerhouses in the future, making the sect stronger and more deterrent.

Is this the age of the strong? No.

This is the age of the Elite.

A day later.

In the northern part of the Central Plains, Kunlun is stationed thousands of miles away from Niuqi Mountain.

Kunlun faction is built next to the mountain, and countless pavilions are staggered and vertical and horizontal on Kunlun Mountain, and the momentum is magnificent, just like a fairyland pavilion. On the top of the mountain, which is covered with ice and snow all year round and shrouded in mist, there is a mysterious Cloud Sky Pavilion. Ordinary disciples were strictly forbidden to approach, and only elder-level figures were allowed to enter.

And at this moment, in the Cloud Heaven Pavilion, there was a white and delicate young man meditating with his eyes closed on a crystal clear jasper stone bed, surrounded by smoke, and a bronze crane as a foil.

The door opened, and a bewitching woman appeared in the doorway, her eyes staring straight at the young man. The woman walked towards the young man, she was dressed in a skirt of a hundred flowers, and the clothes and belts behind her were swaying in the air like mist, with ice muscles and jade bones, and beautiful eyes, like a fairy descending to earth.

The woman sat down beside the young man, her peach cheeks were slightly red, her lips were seductive, and she said softly, "Hanning is enlightening again?"

The young man slowly opened his eyes, and instead of looking at the woman beside him, he looked straight ahead, and said, "I've been a little irritable in the past few days, and I can't understand this avenue for a few minutes, and I don't know when I will be able to achieve the Dao Fa." ”

"Don't rush, take your time. Your body is already flawless, and it is only a matter of time before the Dao is perfected. As long as you have completed this step, breaking through the realm will not be worth mentioning to you. The woman said.

"Yes, I understand. The young man nodded slightly.

"But today there is news from the south that there is a guy who dares to be underestimated in Niu Qishan's disciple selection this time. The woman said.

"Oh?"

"This man is a human being, and it is said that he broke the record of a hundred years in one fell swoop, and climbed to the height of 99 floors. ”

"I have heard the phrase "a hundred steps of the road, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky", and I don't know how difficult it is. This person can climb to the ninety-ninth floor, and his talent cannot be underestimated. But I'd like to give it a try, but I don't know how many floors I can climb. The young man said.

"Hanning is laughing again, if you go, you will be able to climb the hundred floors. The woman covered her mouth and laughed.

The young man shook his head.

"Han Ning, you are a once-in-a-millennium Dao Ji Gathering, why are you so humble. If you can't wait a hundred floors, who else is qualified to say you can?" the woman was a little displeased.

"I haven't reached the foundation of the Dao yet, and I can't be regarded as a true Dao Foundation Aggregate. If you want to climb the 100th floor, I'm afraid it will still be difficult. The young man said calmly.

"Even so, how can the Doji aggregate be compared to ordinary people?"

"What if that person is also a Doji Aggregate?" the young man asked rhetorically.

"This ...... No way!" the woman shook her head.

"Shuhan, you haven't seen him, how can you know that he is not a Daoji Gathering. The world is so big, and it is not difficult for two Dao Ji aggregates to appear once in a thousand years. The young man slowly closed his eyes again.

Seeing that she couldn't tell him, the woman pouted, got up and left the room.

The young man who heard the sound of the door closing opened his eyes again, stared ahead, and muttered, "Another Daoji Aggregate......

......

Niuqi Mountain.

On Niuqi Mountain, there are also several pavilions hidden in the woods, which are not as magnificent as other sects, and the high-rise buildings are stacked on top of each other. Because most demon cultivators are still used to living in caves, they have no pursuit of human architecture. But An Zai'er is an exception, although he lives in the cave, but the cave is all human furniture style.

At this moment, An Zai'er was strolling in the forest, the sun was shining through the branches of the trees and falling a little spot of light on the ground, and from time to time he met a few demon cultivators on the road to greet him.

Walking to a rather elegant and chic bamboo building, An Zai'er stopped. The plaque on the bamboo floor reads "Alchemy Room", surrounded by tall and thick bamboo forests, and the rustling sound can be clearly heard when the breeze blows.

Ann walked in.

There are several pieces of wooden furniture in the bamboo building, and the first thing you see is that there is a small furnace in the center of the room, and there is a small fire at the bottom, and a faint incense mist rises in the small ding, which is swirling in the air. The fragrance is refreshing and refreshing, but it still makes An Zai'er, who has a keen sense of smell, can't help but sneeze.

A middle-aged man in a cyan robe walked out of the inner room after hearing the sound, it was none other than one of the elders of Niu Qishan, Zhong Wuji.

"Elder Zhong, when can you change the incense in your alchemy room?" An Zai'er rubbed his nose and said.

"Elder An has a keen sense of smell, and I can't help it, this is the faintest smelling incense I can find. Zhong Wuji smiled, "Next time Elder Zhong comes back, you can bring a mask." ”

An Zai'er was a little speechless, he took out a small bag and said, "The medicinal materials that Elder Zhong wants are here." ”

Zhong Wuzhi took the bag, carefully investigated it with his true qi, nodded and smiled: "Well, it's really all together, Elder An's work is really reliable." ”

"Forgive me for asking more, what kind of elixir did Elder Zhong refine by collecting these medicinal herbs?" An Zai'er asked, because some of these herbs were also quite precious, costing him a lot of True Jade.

"Washing the marrow and cutting the bones. Zhong Wuji said succinctly.

"This is a five-grade pill, and it is only useful for humans in the foundation building period, it is said to be able to remove all impurities and wastes in the body, invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis, is it ......" An Zai'er frowned, thought about it carefully, and had the answer in his heart.

"You want to give it to He Ding?"

Zhong Wuji nodded.

"This Bone Cleansing Pill has a special effect, and it is not very effective for ordinary people, could it be that you want to make his body tend to be flawless?" An Zai'er asked.

Zhong Wuji nodded again and acquiesced.

The flawlessness that Ann is talking about is the last stage of the quenching body in the foundation building period. As the name suggests, the foundation is the foundation of the bones, the foundation of the avenue, if the foundation is more stable, then the road to cultivation in the future will be easier. Quenching is divided into three stages, forging bones, refining tendons, and flawless. Physical flawlessness is relatively easy to achieve, as opposed to the perfection of the Dao.

Because the flawless body can be created by smashing countless pills, but the Dao Fa is not perfect.
