From the very beginning of the training, Aoyama found that he was wrong, not only wrong, but also ridiculously wrong, every day he was so tired that he almost didn't have the strength to lift his hand, and he would let him go, not only that, but there were three days of special training every month.

These three days are the most deadly, because Feng Chenzi will make him directly use his body to hit mountains or stones, and he is not allowed to use true qi, and every day he will be hit to the point that his head is bleeding, and even fractures are not a problem.

But not to mention, under such a desperate training, his physical strength, explosiveness and reaction speed are improving by leaps and bounds, so to speak, if he does not use true qi, his physical strength is no less than that of a Jindan stage monk, and as for explosiveness and reaction speed, it is even more than that.

A year passed in a blink of an eye, and the long-awaited competition in the outer courtyard finally began, Qingshan and Li Mu rushed to the competition site early in the morning, only to find that there were nine more rings in the original open space at this time, each ring was three zhang high from the ground, and it was very spectacular from a distance.

Li Mu looked at the nine rings with burning eyes, and he had already clenched his fists in excitement, "Qingshan, are you ready?"

"Of course, what about you?" When Qingshan saw the nine rings, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart, he finally had the opportunity to show his skills again, master, look at it, I won't let you down.

"I've long since seen through the autumn water. ”

"No wonder I haven't seen you much this year, it turns out that I have been hiding and cultivating. ”

Li Mu glared, and scolded with a smile: "Aren't you the same? Think I don't know? You bastard, you go out early and return late every day, can't you go out to play?"

"Haha, each other. ”

While the two were talking, many disciples had already arrived one after another, and after a while, Qingshan and Li Mu were overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Well, there must be at least three hundred people here, it turns out that there are so many disciples in the outer courtyard. Aoyama was stunned.

"Hehe, you only know now? Let me tell you, there are more than 500 disciples in the outer court, and it is estimated that there are at least 400 people above the foundation, and I heard that there are only a lot more disciples in the inner court than in the outer court. ”

"How is this possible?" Qingshan was shocked when he heard this, this is too much, according to what the master said, the Xuanzhu Sect is just a small sect, there shouldn't be so many talents, right.

"How is it impossible? As long as the disciples recruited every year have reached the Five Elements Spirit Body and are not more than seventeen years old, they basically all enter the inner court, not to mention, many of the outer court disciples who have reached the golden pill stage and are transferred to the inner court every year, so it is not impossible for the inner court disciples to surpass the outer court disciples over time. ”

Qingshan couldn't help but nod in agreement, I see, if he said that, it would make sense. "What about the True Disciple?"

"I think there are about 200 people. ”

"In other words, all the disciples add up to about a thousand?"

"Not only that, these are just on the surface, there are also some registered disciples and the like, and there are some who specialize in refining medicine or refining tools or talismans, etc., in short, there are more than three thousand. ”

Qingshan was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't cry or laugh even more, he couldn't imagine that I only made one friend out of 3,000 people, how unsocial I was?

As soon as the hour came, the deacon who was in charge of presiding over the competition arrived, and the noisy and lively scene suddenly became silent, and they all looked nervously at the high platform, and everyone knew that the long-awaited competition was finally about to begin.

Qingshan saw that it was Deacon Xu Xu Houde, he stood on the high platform in the middle, looking high-spirited, and said loudly: "Everyone, today is the ten-year competition meeting of the disciples of my Xuanzhu Sect's outer court, so I and the senior management of the sect hope that you can actively sign up to participate, for those who perform superiorly, the sect will give various rewards as encouragement, as for those who have not been rewarded, there is no need to be discouraged, as long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely have the opportunity to show your style in the future."

Luo Li said a lot of words, and the crowd was excited to hear it, but Qingshan, on the other hand, was extremely impatient, he couldn't wait for Deacon Xu to finish talking earlier, he couldn't wait for the competition to start immediately, and he couldn't wait to go on stage to perform well.

Fortunately, Deacon Xu waved his hand after explaining the rules of the event again, "Now, you all line up to draw lots, and after the lots, you all go back to rest and start the first round of the competition on time." ”

As soon as his words fell, the originally silent venue suddenly boiled, and Qingshan couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, ignoring the crowded crowd around him, he grabbed Li Mu and squeezed forward, "Let's go, let's hurry up and draw lots." ”

Li Mu followed him with a smile and a smile, "Is it necessary to be in such a hurry? ”

Qingshantou replied without looking back: "I can't wait, where is the time to spend here?"

Fortunately, there are a total of nine signs, so the speed of the draw is not too slow, and soon it will be Qingshan's turn, when he reached out to get the lot, he has been silently praying in his heart: Let me draw a good draw as soon as possible!

Unlike others who want to draw weaker opponents, Aoyama doesn't care about these at all, he just wants to prove himself as soon as possible, prove it to his master, and prove it to those who once looked down on him.

Qingshan drew the No. 3 platform 96 lot, because the opponent was randomly selected, so he did not follow the order of the numbers, so his opponent was a woman who won the No. 3 lot, the woman had fair skin, a round face, and she looked pretty good.

The two glanced at each other, and the woman saw Qingshan's cultivation clearly, and couldn't help but show a disdainful smile.

Qingshan was originally not hostile, but as soon as he saw the other party's smile, his heart suddenly burst into flames, stared into the other party's eyes, and solemnly told her: "It's okay if you look down on me now, you won't know until you're done fighting, sometimes cultivation doesn't mean everything." ”

Hearing this, the woman not only did not retract her smile, but despised Qingshan even more, "Yes, then I will be taught and taught by then, I hope you don't let me down." ”

"Rest assured, you will always remember this defeat. Qingshan turned around and left directly, but because he still had to wait for Li Mu, he didn't return to the accommodation.

The woman slowly put away her smile, "It's quite interesting, a little guy who has just built a foundation not long ago, even dares to speak wildly, I want to see what you are capable of." ”

As soon as Li Mu came back from the lottery, Qingshan couldn't wait to take the test and asked, "What number of lots did you draw, and who is your opponent?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, "No. 18, the opponent is No. 72, a little guy who has just entered the mountain this year, there should be no problem for me to beat him, what about you?"

"Ninety-six, the opponent is number three, it's a girl. ”

"Oh, you kid is lucky, when everyone can't let out their true anger, girls are much easier to deal with. ”

"It's hard to say, maybe if her body refining technique is very good. Although Qingshan is full of confidence, he will not be arrogant, the reason why he was so strong just now is purely because the other party looks down on him.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "This is impossible. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because all monks below the Yuan Infant Stage, unless they are very talented, they will only refine their flesh and skin at most. ”

Hearing this, Qingshan's heart moved, could it be that he was more special?" "Then why don't you refine your muscles and bones by the way?"

Li Mu had long been accustomed to his ignorance, otherwise he would definitely be surprised, "Don't you know that refining your muscles and bones will affect your cultivation speed?"

Once you start to refine your muscles and bones, your muscles and veins will inevitably expand, and although the amount of heaven and earth vitality that can be accumulated will increase accordingly, on the contrary, it will also greatly slow down the speed of cultivation.

But Qingshan really didn't know, and Fengchenzi never told him this. It inevitably made Li Mu suspicious, so Qingshan simply pretended to be stupid, "I know this, but I think there will always be someone who will refine his muscles and bones." ”

Li Mu still shook his head very calmly, "I have just said that talent, a monk's talent can basically determine the future of a monk, so, do you think that the disciples of the outer court will have people with outstanding talents?"

In this way, Qingshan also understood, "This is also true, it is estimated that people who do not have the Five Elements Spirit Body will generally not start refining their muscles and bones so early." ”

"There are not many Five Elements Spirit Body refining muscles and bones at this time, after all, the life span of the foundation building period is too limited, even if it is the Five Elements Spirit Body, they dare not dare to guarantee that they will be able to form a pill after refining their muscles and bones, as for the Five Elements Dao Body, then I don't know, after all, there are too few such people. ”

After separating from Li Mu, Qingshan couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "Master, does what Li Mu said make sense?"

Feng Chenzi was very disdainful of this, "Reason? Hehe, cultivation is unreasonable, a monk's talent is indeed very important, but so what? There are not enough resources, there are no good opportunities, and no matter how good the talent is, it is pure bullshit." ”

Qingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But my talent is obviously not good, under the same conditions, it is simply wishful thinking to catch up with those disciples with outstanding talents." ”

"Nonsense, although your talent is not good, do they have such good exercises as you? Do they have such a good master as me to teach? Remember, you have to broaden your horizons, your future is not here, but a broader world. ”

Qingshan was thrilled when he heard this, "Master rest assured, the disciple will never be idle all the time." ”

Feng Chenzi said with relief when he heard this: "Well, the competition is about to start soon, you can breathe and rest, remember, Xuanzhu Sect is just the first springboard in your life, and those so-called disciples with outstanding talents are just stepping stones in front of you." ”

"My disciple will definitely clean up all these stepping stones, so that they can only look up at me from behind. ”
