On the afternoon before departure, all the disciples who went out to fight in the mountain had to take half a day off to go back to clean up, Fan Mingfang and the other five female disciples of other veins left Lingji Mountain in the morning; Kong Rui even cleaned the house and courtyard early, and went to Su Yun to ask her to gather in the afternoon during lunch, seeing Su Yun nodding and agreeing, Kong Rui almost jumped up from the chair with joy.

As soon as he saw Su Yun enter the courtyard, Kong Rui was impulsive and wanted to step forward to hug her, but when he thought of his ears and Su Yun's recent coldness, he didn't dare to do anything, just stepped forward, timidly took her hands and walked into the house, and only said: "Sister Yun." Then I didn't know what to say.

Instead, Su Yun took the initiative to hug Kong Rui, leaned her head on his shoulder, and only shouted: "Brother Rui." "No more words.

Kong Rui's heart was comfortable, but thinking that Su Yun was about to leave the mountain, he became sad again, the two hugged for a while, and then the two sat on the edge of the bed, leaning together and thinking about the hardships and joys they had come all the way from Suidu to come here.

In the afternoon, Su Yun said: "Brother Rui, go, you can bake a hare for me to eat." Of course, Kong Rui agreed, so he hurriedly put his barbecue skills to good use, but unfortunately, although the hare roasted by Kong Rui this time was better than any previous roast, eating it was like chewing wax in the mouths of these two people, and there was no taste at all.

This time, the disciples of Wuxuan Sect held a ceremony in the square in front of the main hall, and the thousands of disciples who saw them off shouted in unison, and even the children of the Shuren Hall also participated, and the momentum was much stronger than when a branch was sent off that day, and many disciples couldn't help but cry, and Kong Rui was naturally among them.

Because Wu Xuanzong and the imperial court have also established contact, the imperial court naturally wants to ask Wu Xuanzong to help with some difficult tasks, so this time Wu Xuanzong sent the task of giving mountain disciples, most of them were asked by the imperial court to help Wu Xuanzong, and the area was also scattered a lot, and it was also difficult to rescue each other, but Wu Xuanzong thought that the evil Confucianism and Taoism would not dare to send the spirit master out of the mountain again, and he was not afraid of such a practice.

Since Su Yun left, Kong Rui has been practicing mana diligently every day like an idiot, and other things like puppetry, swordsmanship, and illusion have stopped practicing, and he only wants to improve his mana.

The first seven or eight days of hard training still had some effect on Kong Rui, the mana growth rate was a little faster than before, and then he suddenly felt stagnant, Kong Rui thought that he was not attentive enough, and was about to work harder, when a deacon disciple came to inform him to go to the main hall to see the master.

As soon as Sima He saw Kong Rui, he saw that his face was dark, which was obviously a symptom of mana depression, and he knew the reason as soon as he thought about it, so he said to Kong Rui: "Rui'er, do you know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it?"

Kong Rui was stunned for a moment, and then heard Sima He continue: "Mana cultivation requires long-term hard practice, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Like you, you only practice mana every day, and if you don't practice other spells, it will easily cause mana stagnation, stagnation at least, and madness, which is not a method adopted by cultivators like us. ”

When Kong Rui heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Master for your guidance, the disciple almost went astray." ”

Sima He saw that Kong Rui had understood this truth, and said to him again: "This time I came to you for the teacher, so that you can go to Mingding Mountain with me early tomorrow morning." For the master to refine a few spiritual crystals there, I plan to give you one, and tomorrow morning you will go to the blood sacrifice to practice. ”

As soon as Kong Rui heard the spiritual spar, he was overjoyed at the moment, and after thanking the master, he agreed to meet in front of the gate of Mingding Mountain the next day, and was admonished by Sima He before leaving.

Since Kong Rui was not able to drive away the clouds, before dawn the next day, Kong Rui rushed to Mingding Mountain, and waited in front of the mountain gate for a while before seeing the master and the senior brother and sister coming together, naturally it was Zhao Yaozhong and the senior sister Gu Yunshan.

The two also heard that there were spiritual crystals, and they were very happy. When they arrived at the gate of Mingding Mountain, Zhao Yaozhong and Senior Sister actually saw Kong Rui waiting for them there, and they were a little surprised but didn't say anything.

Zhao Yaozhong and Gu Yunshan are now Sima He's right-hand men, one is in charge of the refining workshop, including all the design, refining, debugging, and some experiments that Sima He has come up with new solutions, while the other is in charge of everything else, including the disciples' cultivation, daily chores, and so on.

The two of them thought that it was a matter of course for the master to assign a spiritual spar, but they didn't expect that Kong Rui would also have one. It's also that the two of them have too many daily things, and they don't know what Kong Rui has done during this time.

Seeing Kong Rui, Zhao Yaozhong and Gu Yunshan still said to Kong Rui: "It turns out that Senior Brother Kong is also here, then congratulations to Senior Brother Kong for getting a spiritual spar." There was still a hint of sourness in the words.

Sima He smiled faintly beside him and said, "Rui'er is here so early, you should come forward to report first." ”

The first time Kong Rui came to Mingding Mountain, he saw that there were pines and cypresses everywhere, and the houses were also very elegant, and he secretly thought that this Mingding Mountain was worthy of being the widest branch of the sect, but he didn't know if they got along well or not. While he was thinking wildly, two people came in from outside the living room, a middle-aged man in his forties in front who looked very elegant, and a young man in the back who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Sima He was sitting on the chair drinking tea, and when he saw the man come in, he put down the teacup, stood up, and arched his hand: "Senior Brother Yun." ”

Senior Brother Nayun also replied, "Senior Brother Sima, you've been waiting for a long time. After speaking, he turned his head to the young man behind him and said, "Gang'er, I came to see your Uncle Sima." He also introduced to Sima He: "This son is my nephew, named Yungang." ”

After seeing that Yun Gang had just saluted, Sima He also said to Kong Rui: "Come, I've seen Yunzhang Peak, this time it's troublesome Yunzhang Peak to help us refine that spiritual crystal." Seeing that Kong Rui and the three of them were saluting Yun Jue, Sima He also introduced them to Yun Jue one by one.

As soon as Yun Jue heard Kong Rui, his heart couldn't help but move, it turned out that this kid was the disciple who had made great achievements recently, and after a little sense of his breath, he was actually a mid-stage spirit disciple, and he was already very close to the late stage, and he was also very strange in his heart, this son was young, and Gang'er should be about the same, Gang'er was the root of the earth spirit, and now he has only cultivated to this realm, what other extraordinary talents does this son have?

As soon as Yun Gang saw Kong Rui, he also felt that he was familiar, but he couldn't remember it, he must have been a twelve-year-old child at that time, and after all these years, his appearance has changed a little. After listening to the introduction this time, I realized that the two of them had been together in the same dormitory for more than half a year, so they looked at each other and smiled.

The abnormality between them was naturally that they couldn't escape the eyes of Yun Jue and Sima He, so Yun Jue asked Yun Gang, "Gang'er, you knew each other before?" Yun Gang told him about the fact that the two were still in the same dormitory when they were in Shuren Hall. Yun Jue smiled: "You two are still old friends. "I didn't say anything else at the moment, so I asked Sima He and the others to go to the refining workshop to prepare for the blood sacrifice to refine those few spiritual crystals.

In front of a mountain wall, I saw Yun Jue pinching the trick with one hand, and a stone door appeared on the mountain wall, after the stone door was opened, Yun Jue led everyone in, and after walking for more than ten zhang, he felt a hot breath, only to see that there was a space about ten zhang in diameter, and a black giant tripod with a diameter of zhang was placed in the middle, and the flames were rolling under the ding, and there was a huge shelf next to it, on which some strange-shaped tools were placed.

Yun Jue stood in front of the tripod, pinched the trick with both hands, the lid on the top of the giant tripod slowly opened, and the method in his hand changed, only to see a warm ball of light flying out of the giant tripod.

Sima He made a move with his right hand, controlled the light ball in the palm of his hand, and said, "Shan'er, you come first." I saw Gu Yunshan step forward quickly, and forced out a drop of essence blood on his index finger and dripped it on the light cluster, which was bright for a while, and then slowly dimmed, until the original control spar appearance was revealed, and under the glossy surface, there was a red cloud-like glow, which moved back and forth and deformed, just like a living thing.

When Sima He saw that the blood sacrifice was successful, he saw that the spar was given to Gu Yunshan, and said in his mouth: "Shan'er, this spar belongs to you, you have to cultivate diligently." Gu Yunshan hurriedly thanked the master again, and then put the spar away.

This time, Sima He also sacrificed three spars, and the rest was distributed to Zhao Yaozhong, Gu Yunshan and Kong Rui. Of course, these three disciples were overjoyed, but Yun Jue was very puzzled why Sima He gave all these good things to his disciples, but now he was not easy to ask.

When Sima He saw that the matter was done, he said goodbye to Yun Jue, but Yun Jue did not stay, and hurriedly led Yun Gang back to the refining workshop when he sent it to the door.
