The long and boring life of penance is about to start again, because after resting for so long, everyone was indeed a little unaccustomed to it at first, but as the cultivation continued, everyone gradually entered their own rhythm and began their own penance.

Compared with the past, everyone seems to be more motivated, firstly, because after Liang Dayi left, Zhang Huaide took over the heavy responsibility of supervision, he wanted to be more strict, nitpicking in their cultivation, and also made them more awe-inspiring, and did not dare to slack off, and then because of Mingxuan, a freak, even a fourth-order martial artist like Lu Kun could be defeated, you must know that even Yu Wen thought that he might not be able to beat him (Du Teng did not see Mingxuan's competition, and he always regretted it, of course, even if he saw it, he would not think that Lu Kun was stronger than him, after all, Chen Xinshu was Lu Kun's senior brother, and he had already lost in the hands of Du Teng). Wouldn't his strength be ranked fourth, not to mention that he was still so young and his cultivation speed was so fast, how could this make them embarrassed to be senior brothers! If they didn't practice hard, it would only make people laugh even more.

Not long after, Elder Chang Feng also returned, facing the news of Liang Dayi's departure, he didn't say anything, originally the disciples of Qingyangmen could go down the mountain to experience after reaching the fifth rank of martial arts, Liang Dayi was not considered to have left the sect, he could come back at any time, so it was nothing. With the guidance of the elders, everyone was more energetic.

The competition recruits relatives, the most profound benefit is Mingxuan, can be fortunate to compete with opponents who are higher than themselves, and can win the battle, Mingxuan has an unreal feeling until now, but it has really happened, which also makes Mingxuan have a deeper understanding of the competition, if you want to win the competition, there are really many decisive factors: the influence of the environment, just like Mingxuan's battle with Bai Lei in the forest; grasp the opportunity, the sneak attack in the forest; the use of tactics, is the battle between Mingxuan and Lu Kun; of course, the strength of the strength undoubtedly occupies the largest role, in the face of absolute strength, the previous elements can be ignored。

"You still have to keep improving your strength!" Ming Xuan couldn't help but sigh, he was still too weak, in this Qingyang Gate where there were many talents and masters, Ming Xuan could only be regarded as one of the weakest, and there was still a long way to go if he wanted to achieve something.

Since receiving it in the Shaking Light Peak, Ming Xuan began to practice day and night, and later began to practice double cultivation after the operation, he also arranged his time to be full, immersed in busyness every day, although it was hard, but it was fulfilling, and time passed unconsciously, spring went to summer, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Ming Xuan's pranayama has not stopped, and the sense of qi in his heart has become more and more intense, and he can clearly feel the qi wave in his heart, but he has not yet made Ming Xuan feel the sense of saturation, it seems that there is still some distance from the level of the first order, with the experience of cultivating martial arts, Ming Xuan has been indifferent to this matter, and the truth that if you want to hurry, you will not reach it, he has now deeply understood, and practicing qi is far more dangerous than cultivating martial arts.

After slowly traveling through the whole body with the mobilization of the air flow in the dantian, Ming Xuan felt very comfortable, as if he had taken a hot bath in the winter, so that Ming Xuan couldn't help but be a little fascinated by this feeling, or it could be regarded as a kind of bitter pleasure, insisting on it for a long time, so that Ming Xuan really felt the improvement of his physical strength, further making up for the defects of his body, and at the same time, it also made him more confident, he did not choose the wrong path of double cultivation.

"Little guy, what are you doing?" After finishing today's cultivation coursework, Ming Xuan also had to combine work and rest, and sat down to rest for a while, although he had already sensed the artistic conception of the Drifting Snow Sword Technique, it stands to reason that he could continue to cultivate without staying in the forest, but he was also used to the environment here, so he simply stayed here.

After so much time, Doudou's energy is getting better, and now not only will he be energetic and play for a while at night, but he also has some energy during the day, and he is gradually similar to other birds, Mingxuan was worried that it would be boring, so he took it with him.

Compared with when I first saw it, in addition to the energy has become better, Doudou's feathers have also become darker and brighter, but there is still not much change in body shape, the same petite and cute, and he is still so picky about food, only eating those refined pills and the original medicinal materials, and the others are still disdainful, which makes Ming Xuan feel distressed, and the pills refined by Guo Jieren have also consumed more than half, fortunately, it is still more likable, and the elders occasionally come to tease it, there are many masters of all kinds in Qingyangmen, and there are rich Tibetan medicines, it is not a problem to refine some similar pills, but it is not a way in the long run。

Hearing Ming Xuan call it, Doudou fluttered his little wings, spread his calves and ran over, stretching out his little head and constantly taking advantage of Ming Xuan's hand, and chirping clearly, it looked very intimate, so that Ming Xuan couldn't help but tease it.

"Alright, it's not too early, it's time to go home and cook. According to the schedule of duty, it was his turn this month, Mingxuan put the little guy on his shoulder, and Doudou naturally grabbed his shoulder, it seems that this pair has done this before.

In half a year, Ming Xuan has not only practiced qi, but also made a breakthrough at the level of the third order of martial arts, and now it is also stable in the middle and lower stages of the third order of martial arts.

Ming Xuan is making rapid progress, and the others are not standing still, Zhang Huaide leads by example, not only greatly improving his abilities in all aspects, but also steadily advancing his strength to the peak level of the fifth order of martial artists, and the breakthrough can be expected; Du Teng has also broken through to the fifth order of martial artists, and it seems that he has benefited a lot from the last bloody battle; Yu Wen has also reached the middle and upper stages of the fourth order of martial artists, and his speed and agility have also made great progress; Yu Wu is already at the level of the middle and lower stages of the fourth order of martial artists, and now he can cope with it easily when he stands in the middle of the waterfall; but Fang Han has not changed much, and after returning from Liang Dayi's house, he has become even more dull, and he has ignored everyone a little, especially treating Ming Xuan, everyone thought that he was still psychologically tricky, and he could only rely on himself, but he didn't care much.

"Xiao Qi, I can't imagine that your cooking skills are so good! I can't help but eat several more bowls every day! I am killed!" Du Teng said vaguely as he shoved something into his mouth, as if he hadn't eaten for many years.

"Third Senior Brother, what about you, isn't what I made delicious? As if I was hungry for you. Yu Wu still kept nagging, he was cooking again last month, although it wasn't delicious, but it wasn't so exaggerated.

"Fourth, I'm not talking about you, it's just that Xiao Qi is doing so well, now think about the meals I cooked, it's almost like pig food!" Du Teng couldn't help laughing at himself, in terms of cooking, he was really talented, and he was even more impatient.

"If you make pig food, then we are pigs. Zhang Huaide said with black lines on his face, this kid never makes drafts when he speaks.

"I ...... I...... I didn't mean that, I meant that I did a very bad job, like feeding pigs, no! It's about the same as pigs, ah, no! Yes......" Du Teng was a little flustered, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, but everyone also knew that he didn't mean it this way, and he was just teasing him.

"By the way, why haven't you seen Elder Chang Feng in the past few days? I also want to ask for advice on how I should cultivate next. "I am completely comfortable with the penance under the waterfall, and if I continue to practice, it will not have much effect.

"Fourth, you are all confused in your cultivation, at this time, the annual elimination battle of Qingyangmen is about to begin, and the elders naturally want to go and observe. "Yu Wen is really a little tired of time, and he will forget that the most important elimination battle in the outer courtyard of Qingyang Gate is about to begin.

"Oh, yes! I haven't participated in it for a few years, and I really forgot about it, and I can't sleep when I think about this time of year! "Those painful years, Yu Wen will never forget.

"Second Senior Brother, don't we have to participate?" Ming Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Qi, you are also practicing stupid, we are already official disciples, and we still have to participate in the knockout competition. "This is a prerequisite for them to come to Sunset Peak.

"I'm not talking about participating in the war, I'm talking about participating in the war, which means going to watch and see how the other people are cultivating. Ming Xuan added.

"Oh, we've had this idea before, and the elder doesn't say no, just go by yourself if you want to, but after going once, you won't want to go a second time. Zhang Huaide smiled bitterly.

"Why?" Ming Xuan obviously didn't understand.

"Have you forgotten what happened to you at Shaking Light Peak?" just showed up for a while, and was sneered at by the other disciples, all kinds of contempt, if you go to the place where all the disciples gather, the scene can be imagined, or don't go to talk about yourself.

"I want to check it out. Ming Xuan thought for a moment and said firmly.

"Xiao Qi, wasn't the stimulation last time enough? You still want to find guilt!" Thinking of that kind of treatment, Du Teng's liver surged.

"It's different now! We've been practicing hard day and night at Sunset Peak for a year, and our progress is not insignificant, don't you want to go and see how the other brothers and sisters are progressing? Ming Xuan had always wanted to know how the others were practicing, and every time he thought of this, he felt a little weak.

"Xiao Qi has a point, I'll accompany you on a trip, I will definitely practice harder than them this year, I really want to see how far I am from them. Yu Wu also feels that it makes sense, comparison can produce results, and blindly burying his head in hard practice will slowly make himself blind.

"Okay, count me in!"

"Okay, I'll go too!"

"Count me in!"

......

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to go to the knockout round to have a look, and also to review the results of their penance.
