Tian Qing performed the internal vision technique, looking at the liquefied part of the aura in the dantian, and his heart was satisfied. When all the aura is liquefied, it is officially entering the foundation building period.

With his current spiritual power, it was at least seven or eight times deeper than the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

And because there was too much residual medicinal power in his body, even if he no longer took the pill, his cultivation was slowly growing.

However, there are also some troubles left in these medicinal powers, if the medicinal power is not dissolved in time, it is very likely that the residual medicinal power will form a blockage in the meridians, causing Tian Qing's meridians to be damaged.

Tian Qing also came up with a good way to deal with these residual medicinal powers, which was to keep charging the small funnel and consuming mana, and those medicinal powers would naturally be converted into mana.

Anyway, I still have more than a thousand low-level spirit stones in my hand.

What's more, after he practiced the eighth layer of qi, his mana was profound, and he only needed to use up all his mana twice to make a medium-grade thunder spirit stone, which also greatly saved time.

With this mana, Tian Qing is now full of confidence, and he remembers all those who have laughed at him, if Dabi can't be touched in the ring this time, it's just that, when he meets Tian Qing, he will definitely not be soft at all, and he will definitely give them some color to see.

However, there are still three months to go, and although Tian Qing is very confident in his cultivation, he still needs to learn about the cultivation of his fellow disciples and the powerful people he needs to pay attention to.

On this day, it is already winter.

The whole Yuzhu Peak is covered with heavy snow, countless goose feather snowflakes are flying in the air, the whole mountain forest is full of white as far as the eye can see, but the bamboo forest in the mountains is still green and amazing, like heaven and earth showing its amazing vitality.

Tian Qing sighed in his heart, he had been in Qingyuanguan for almost ten years. has also changed from a little teenager to a little youth. Tian Qing felt that this time passed very quickly, and in a trance, the ten years were like a snap of a finger and a white horse.

Tian Qing summoned out the small leaf magic weapon and flew towards the 'Qingyuan Peak'.

After a while, Tian Qing came to a familiar room and knocked on the door gently.

I saw a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old female cultivator open the door of the house, the female cultivator was a little impatient, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, obviously the ordinary-looking person in front of her had disturbed her cultivation, but after she swept Tian Qing's cultivation, her expression immediately became solemn, and she asked, "Is there something wrong with the junior brother?"

Tian Qing said, "Excuse me, Senior Sister, I want to ask Senior Sister about someone, where is Senior Brother Ma Lian, who was in charge of registering disciples here seven or eight years ago, now?"

"Senior Brother Ma, he was assigned to the Alchemy Room to take charge of the Earth Fire Room last year, Senior Brother will definitely be able to find him if he goes there," the female cultivator said.

Tian Qing clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, senior sister"

"Hehe, junior brother is polite," the nun said with a smile.

Tian Qing left the disciple registration office and went straight to the Earth Fire Room.

The earth fire room is in a valley, and it is the formation laid down by several ancestors in the Dan stage in the view to draw the power of fire from the depths of the earth to the surface and use it for alchemy.

The entrance to the Earthfire Chamber is also a cave that goes diagonally down.

Tian Qing walked into the cave and walked down the steps.

When I walked to the bottom of the steps, a hall with a radius of 100 zhang suddenly appeared, and the hall was surrounded by small doors, and the room inside the small door was a place for alchemy.

There is a table and chair in the center of the hall, and there is a person sitting on the chair, this person is in his thirties, Tian Qing took a closer look, and a horse's face has a bit of vicissitudes, this person is Ma Lian ten years later. Tian Qing walked towards him.

"I don't know what is the matter with this junior brother, do you need alchemy?" Ma Lian said as he looked at the person in front of him.

"Senior Brother Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time," Tian Qing smiled.

Ma Lian carefully looked at the person in front of him, and said with some surprise, "You are Tian Qingtian's junior brother?"

"Hehe, the junior brother has been busy with cultivation, and he doesn't want to say goodbye to Senior Brother Ma for ten years," Tian Qing said with a smile.

Ma Lian said in surprise, "Oh, it's really a junior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time! My brother has been busy with chores, and I don't have time to go to my junior brother to catch up with the old days, don't be surprised by my junior brother!

Tian Qing touched his chin and said with a wry smile, "Naturally, it's not alchemy, but to ask the senior brother about the big competition, the younger brother is about to be big competition, and he has been restless lately!"

Ma Lian is a person who has experienced Dabi, and after thinking about it, Tian Qing still plans to ask him about Dabi.

Ma Lian used his insight technique, and after discovering Tian Qing's cultivation of the eighth layer of qi, he shook his head again and again, and said, "Senior brother, don't laugh, with your eighth-layer cultivation, if your luck is not bad to the extreme, it is impossible to be eliminated."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Tian Qing said with joy in his heart.

"Brother that year's big competition was fifteen years ago, that year there were only about twenty percent of the disciples who could reach the eighth level of Qi cultivation or more, and the junior brother is a strange spirit root, as long as you don't meet those geniuses of the earth spirit root, you don't have the slightest risk, even if you do, if you can't beat it, you will admit defeat immediately, don't stumble to the end, if you are injured, the next competition will be greatly discounted" Ma Lian said.

"However, I don't know the specific situation of your disciples this year, if you want to know more, you can go to an exchange meeting to ensure that you can get the information you are interested in."

Tian Qing said with interest, "Oh, what is the exchange meeting, please tell the senior brother in detail."

Ma Lian showed an incredible expression, and said, "Senior brother seems to really have no ears to the world, every time before the big competition, the disciples who participated in the big competition will spontaneously hold several exchange meetings in the Cold Spirit Valley, and when the time comes, they will each take out the treasure and exchange it for each other, and make the final preparations for the big competition." There is everything at the fair, including spiritual weapons, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc., and of course, there are also some well-informed disciples who have summarized the list of strong people, which can be exchanged for items of the same value."

Tian Qing arched his hand to Ma Lian and said, "Thank you, senior brother, the junior brother brought two bottles of good wine, and today I want to stay drunk with the senior brother."

"Haha, okay, I'll find someone to hand over the shift, come, junior brother sit down, wait a while" Ma Lian pulled over the stool, put it in front of Tian Qing, and said.

Then Ma Lian found the disciple who had registered in the Earth Fire Room like him, and Tian Qing walked out.

Tian Qing and Ma Lian first came to the mountain kitchen to ask for a few dishes, and then came to Ma Lian's cave mansion.

And they drank.

The two of them drank for a long time, they were a little drunk, and Ma Lian's personality was straightforward, and some heartfelt words came out.

"Senior Brother Tian, Brother actually regrets choosing this path of cultivating immortals, now we are going to be thirty-five years old, and some of our grandchildren in the world have been embraced, you look at us, alone, there is basically no hope for building a foundation, and there is no courage to return to the world, you talk about this, alas" Ma Lian said helplessly.

Tian Qing was also a little moved in his heart when he heard this, but he still wanted to persuade this senior brother who was eleven years older than him, so he said, "Senior brother doesn't have to be sad, senior brother's cultivation has also practiced the ninth layer of qi, why not go to the earth spirit cave to try your luck, if you build a foundation, then it will not increase your longevity for a hundred years."

"Hehe, how did the junior brother know, the Earth Spirit Cave went to the Brother once, although at that time, the cultivation of the Brother was the same as you, practicing the eighth layer of Qi, but also with a trace of luck to find the Qi of the Earth Leyline, but after I went, I found that in the Earth Spirit Cave, we must not only be careful of the people in the Demon Dao, but also be careful of the plots of the six disciples who are also on the right path, with the intervention of the people in the Demon Dao, everyone began to kill people and seize treasures without any scruples, regardless of the treaty signed by the seven sects of the Righteous Path. Not to mention that the qi of the leylines is already difficult to find, and it is even more difficult to find the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. After we saw a few life-and-death battles from afar, we carefully hid them, and it wasn't until two months later that we cautiously came out and saved this little life," Ma Lian said with a wry smile.

What Tian Qing never expected was that the decent disciples actually killed each other.

Tian Qing was shocked in his heart, he actually went in to try his luck when the Earth Spirit Cave opened a year later, and he hesitated a little when he heard Ma Lian's words.

Seeing that Tian Qing was silent, Ma Lian laughed dryly, and said, "The junior brother is not deeply involved in the world, and he has been practicing penance for many years, so naturally he doesn't know some of the truths in the immortal cultivation world, so let me remind you that whether it is a decent family or an evil demon, what he pursues is to act against the sky, and only the fittest can survive." It's just that the decent pay attention to the slow progress, the water is natural, and the exercises are relatively mild, but there are many people who go to do some villainous acts under the banner of eliminating demons and defending the way, and most of them are hypocrisy, hypocrites, and the like; while the evil sect and the devil's way strive to advance by leaps and bounds, blindly pursuing the power of the exercises, and the cultivation process is too vicious and vicious, and there is a suspicion of opportunism, although it is claimed to do whatever you want and show the true nature, but in fact, with the improvement of the exercises, they will gradually behave in extreme ways, and even become extremely bloodthirsty and cruel. Hehe, there is no good and evil in this world, only the strong and the weak"

Ma Lian said something that made Tian Qing feel very reasonable, and he didn't want to admit it.

Tian Qing himself has a very beautiful vision for the immortal cultivation world.

But after being coerced by Ma Zhenren, Tian Qing finally knew that he was really the weak, and if he was not strong enough, in the eyes of others, he was just a lamb who wanted to kill.

Tian Qing was silent for a long time, picked up a glass of wine, and said, "Junior brother respects senior brother with a glass, senior brother's teaching today, junior brother will never forget it! I also hope that senior brother will forget his troubles, after all, there is still a long way to go!"

"Haha, do it, let's do it! Today, we don't mention troubles between our brothers, only happy things!" After that, he also picked up a glass of wine, touched the wine glass in Tian Qing's hand, and drank it all.

The two of them drank one cup from the left and one from the right.

Tian Qing rarely drinks alcohol, and these wines are also purchased in the market. So soon his face was flushed and he felt dizzy.

So he said goodbye to Ma Lian, returned to his cave, and fell asleep.
