Whenever the morning sun climbs up the mountainside, the thick and unsightly fog will follow, slowly floating between the mountains, contrary to the tranquility of the town below the mountain, everywhere is filled with a wonderful feeling of immersion in the wonderful land.

Lichen has been out for three months and has not returned yet, Lu Chen doesn't miss it, but he always lives a lonely life in a small house, and he really doesn't adapt to this kid who has been crawling in the market since he was a child and likes to be lively. Fortunately, in the year since he entered the Qianyu Gate, Lu Chen has spent a lot of time in unaccompanied Yuzi, and he has recently been very interested in alchemy, so his life is not boring. At least, he wasn't like those disciples who had become beginners, and they still did some chores every day.

During this period, Zuo Qinghan's little girl ran to the small bamboo forest, but she never dared to set foot in this forbidden place, but only met with Lu Chen outside the bamboo forest. Subsequently, the two sat on the cliff at the top of the mountain every time enjoying the warm light, recalling the past, and the laughter never stopped.

However, after all, he had already become an introductory disciple, and Zuo Qinghan was urged by Lan Yu most of the time, and spent his time on cultivation, so that every time the two of them met, they couldn't say a few words, and they were called back by the hateful bell of Qingyue Peak. As a result, Lu Chen tried to imagine more than once that one day he could break the unkind broken bell, and he could no longer disturb the quiet time between him and Han'er.

That is, think about it, of course Lu Chen would not do this.

In the time without Zuo Qinghan, the only way Lu Chen could pass the time was to cultivate.

The fifty lower-grade spirit stones that Yuyang gave him were quickly exhausted, but the realm was still hovering in the fourth layer of Qi training, although it was extremely close to the fifth layer of Qi training, he still couldn't feel the meaning of breaking through. For this reason, Lu Chen sighed countless times in the sky, deeply feeling that cultivation was not easy.

More than 500 rune papers were all used up, based on the refining of the first fire bullet rune, and then Lu Chen was very careful when drawing the runes, the speed was slow, but the success rate was improved. Within three months, Lu Chen had more than forty fire bullet talismans in his hands, seven immobilization talismans, and even the most difficult to refine Vajra talismans and demon suppression talismans were occasionally three or five. For this achievement, Lu Chen is already very happy. Not for anything else, just because he had inquired from Yang Zhen's mouth in the past three months, and at the moment, there were not many beginner disciples in this sect who could refine spirit runes.

It's not that his strength is not enough, it's not that he is inattentive, it's just that no one like him, who has the generosity of the Yuyang Sect, directly gave him thousands of rune papers.

Beginner disciples, you can get 100 talismans in the door every month.

Three months, a little more talented, a little lucky, it's good to be able to draw one or two every month, and it's the lowest kind, similar to the fire bullet talisman, as for what vajra talisman, fixed talisman, no one has ever had it at all.

"Huh~" Sitting in the hut, Lu Chen let out a sigh, and finally used up the last rune paper and got another demon suppression talisman.

Shaking his wrist, a burst of soreness, Lu Chen sighed and muttered to himself: "Who said that it is easy to draw talismans, in the end, you still need the support of the true yuan, otherwise it will not take effect." ”

After recombing what he had gained in the past three months, Lu Chen closed his eyes happily, immersed in the pleasure of cultivation recovery.

After a while, Yuyang real people appeared.

In the past three months, Yuyang has also done his duty as a senior brother, coming over for a spot check from time to time to teach Lu Chen the comprehension and application of Taoism.

Not to mention anything else, in Lu Chen's eyes, Senior Brother Yuyang is worthy of being a master in the early stage of Jindan, and he does have two brushes.

After Yuyang's guidance, Lu Chen's ability to comprehend the three Dao techniques has really increased, and so far, for this reason, the ground thorn technique can be used, well, it is not a big ground thorn, although the form is still earth, but this time it is sharp.

The earth wall technique is still like that, it can hold up a small thick wall of less than one meter in front of Lu Chen, and it can withstand it at a critical time.

The best thing Lu Chen practiced was the quicksand technique, two floating sand the size of a dirt pit, floating back and forth, no matter what it was, as long as it stepped on or fell into the quicksand pit set up by Lu Chen, it would sink. Moreover, the floating sand and land dust of these two soil pits can also be riddled at will, involving a range of about 100 meters. The amount of energy consumed is quite small, and when the true yuan is sufficient, the one that is not used can also produce one hundred and eighty constantly.

Yuyang is also most satisfied with this, the earth system Taoism, there is no big offensive, after reaching the seventh layer of qi training, you can drive the flying sword to fly into the sky, there is no stupid hoohoo standing there and letting you use the earth stabbing technique back and forth, isn't it uncomfortable?

The quicksand technique and the earth wall technique are different, and when it comes to the main defense and control, it is very useful, and it can affect the battle situation in actual combat.

"Hmm. Yuyang Zhenren stood outside the hut, watching Lu Chen perform the Five Elements Earth System Dao Technique in a similar manner, nodded with satisfaction, and secretly sighed that Master Lichen's vision is not bad, this kid is a material for cultivating immortals.

After Lu Chen finished the comparison, Yuyang Zhenren pointed out again, and then said, "Senior brother, how many of those fifty lower-grade spirit stones are left?"

"It's gone. Lu Chen replied truthfully.

"Gone?" Yuyang Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and said immediately: "No, ordinary beginner disciples have reached the third level of Qi training, and they can use up to ten lower-grade spirit stones a month, and you don't need it, you have used a full fifty in these three months, and you can use it quickly enough to reach the fifth level of Qi training?"

I had long known that Lu Chen was in the realm of the fourth layer of Qi cultivation, and when he heard Lu Chen's answer, Yuyang was also stunned.

"No~" Lu Chen pursed his lips in disappointment, this kid only remembered that the two were brothers, and he didn't care if Yuyang was still a teacher. Walking to Yuyang's side, he picked up a piece of tea and drank it all, and said, "Senior brother, I also wonder about it, I also want to ask you, how can fifty lower-grade spirit stones reach the fifth level of qi training?" But now?"

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders with a puzzled expression.

Yuyang was also very puzzled, and the spiritual sense was released to investigate, indeed, it was still the fourth layer, and it was still hovering at the peak, and he didn't see the improvement, and then said: "This is strange, could it be that the master didn't teach you the "Tao Te Ching"?"

"Uh~" Speaking of this, Lu Chen thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's really not, Shizun said, my body is not suitable for practicing that." ”

"Oh~" came to his senses, Yuyang didn't continue to ask, he knew that Lichen had his own thoughts, and as a disciple, since the master didn't say it, he naturally had his reasons, and it was inconvenient to ask more.

As soon as the words changed, Yuyang said: "Senior brother, the next two days will be a three-month trial period for beginner disciples, and then the disciples of the major peaks and peaks will form a team to go to Lumi Mountain to try Taoism and martial arts, as for you~"

Yuyang was quite embarrassed: "The master is not allowed to talk about your affairs, and I am not easy to arrange, this is a troublesome matter, I want to know, what does the junior brother think?"

Speaking of which, Yuyang, as the head of the sect, is indeed polite enough to Lu Chen, and in Yuyang's memory, even Qingyun and Lanyu do not have such treatment. There's no way, who let Master Chen treat this kid to him?

Lu Chen thought about it, and said indifferently: "If you don't go, don't go, the old man's surname is weird, if something goes wrong, I won't have to be whipped when I come back, I'll stay here honestly and draw talismans." ”

"Old man?" Yuyang twitched the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything, and looked at Lu Chen with a strange look. However, he seemed to agree with Lu Chen's statement in his expression, and nodded again and again.

Lu Chen squinted at it, understood a little, wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, and said secretly: "It seems that the senior brother didn't eat the old man's rattan back then, and he still has palpitations." ”

The old man is Lu Chen's usual name for the dust, and he never said it in front of the dust, but today with the surname, plus the dust is gone, he slipped out of his mouth, and he also felt that his words were missing. But since he said it, he smiled, as if he was nothing, he looked at Yuyang with a wry smile. In other words, no one has ever called their teacher that.

Staggered this topic, the two chatted again, and said that Yuyang was talking to Lu Chen about Taoism, talismans, or something, all the way. In the end, Lu Chen shamelessly pit a few pieces of cinnabar and rune paper from Yuyang's hands before letting Yuyang leave.

As soon as Yuyang left, Yang Zhen appeared outside the bamboo forest, and this time to Lu Chen's surprise, it was the little girl Zuo Qinghan who was walking together.
