The next morning, Xu Qing woke up from his meditation, the spirit stone in his right hand was no longer there, only a pile of powder remained. Xu Qing closed his eyes and carefully sensed his physical condition, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a lot of red spirit threads in his meridians, and his body's perception of the surroundings seemed to be much clearer.

Immortal cultivators in the first to third levels of the Qi refining period cannot be counted as cultivators strictly speaking, because if they only have cultivation at the first to third levels, the mana in their bodies is too small, and they can't cast any spells at all.

The reason why Xu Qing was able to feel more sensitive to his surroundings was because after practicing, his spiritual sense would be greatly improved, and only when he cultivated to the fourth level of the Qi refining period could his spiritual sense be transformed into spiritual consciousness, and at that time it could be regarded as stepping into the immortal path in the true sense.

Xu Qing was washing up while thinking about cultivation: "Cultivating with spirit stones is really faster, so the effect of the elixir should also be better, right?" It's a pity that there are not many spirit stones and pills, and you have to rely on yourself when the pills and spirit stones are used up." ”

Xu Qing walked out of the room and prepared to move his body, breathe in the fresh air, and then continue to cultivate, he saw that Liu Yang was also in the courtyard, so he walked over to talk to him.

"Why are your eyes bloodshot?" At this moment, Liu Yang's eyes were full of bloodshots, and at a glance, he knew that he hadn't rested well last night, but Xu Qing was very strange, he had been in a steady state, although he hadn't rested, but his spirit was still very good, even if Liu Yang had been cultivating, his eyes shouldn't be bloodshot, so he asked worriedly.

"Hey, don't mention it, I came back last night and started practicing, but my mind is always difficult to be calm, even if I calm down, but I just feel that the aura is so excited that there is nothing, which makes me upset and irritable. Liu Yang said with a depressed face.

"Then you won't be unsuccessful overnight?" asked Xu Qing.

"Hehe, how can it? As long as I want to do something, there is nothing I can't do, no, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, as soon as I am ruthless, those spiritual energy will obediently enter my body. Liu Yang was not ashamed, he was not embarrassed at all, and he didn't know what shame was.

"Cut, what's the big deal? It's not just you who have succeeded, Young Master Ben has also succeeded in attracting spiritual energy into the body, but I'm not like some people, I just cultivated for an hour and succeeded, hehe..."

"Hey, it's up to you? You look at your eyes in the mirror, as if you have pink eye, you know at a glance that you are bragging, it's really shameless..."Liu Yang was angry when he saw Gao Han, and immediately retorted.

Xu Qing saw the posture of the two, and immediately went back to the room, leaving only the two people who were blushing and arguing with thick necks to continue to stay in place and argue with each other.

At the beginning of cultivation, you may feel that it is very novel to run the exercises to let the aura flow between the meridians, but after the novelty has passed, you will feel dull, and the endless repetition of Zhou Tian is enough to make people crazy, but Xu Qing knows that he has no choice, except for eating, at most, he only goes out to move his body and scatter his mind when he is bored, and he almost spends the rest of his time on cultivation.

And so the three years passed quietly.

Feeling Xu Qing's hard work, Liu Yang also worked hard, and Gao Han naturally didn't want to be left behind, so Xu Qing and the three of them almost became the hardest cultivators among the beginner disciples. During this period, Liu Yang even wanted to give some of his pills to Xu Qing, but Xu Qing politely refused.

"Hey, I heard Xu Qing say that he will be able to break through to the fourth layer of qi refining today, do you think he has succeeded?" Liu Yang looked at Xu Qing's still closed door, and asked Gao Han worriedly, although Liu Yang still didn't have much interest in Gao Han, but the relationship was much better, but he would quarrel almost every day.

"How do I know? But he should be able to succeed if he works so hard, right?" Gao Han was not very sure, staring at Xu Qingdimen and replied.

At this moment, the door of Xu Qing's room opened, and Xu Qing also walked out, with an undisguised smile on his face. Liu Yang saw Xu Qing's face full of smiles, and he knew that Xu Qing must have successfully broken through to the fourth layer of qi refining without checking it with his spiritual sense.

"Xu Qing, congratulations, I knew that you would definitely succeed! Hehe, as far as I know, most of the core disciples have only cultivated at the fourth level of Qi refining, and there are even those who have only reached the third layer of Qi refining, and there are not many of those inner disciples who have entered the fourth layer, and now you are not lagging behind. Liu Yang stepped forward and said with a smile, congratulating Xu Qing for successfully entering the fourth layer of qi refining.

"It can't be said that the further you advance, the more difficult it will be, and the gap in the early stage can be made up through hard work, but the gap in the later stage will probably only get bigger and bigger. Although Xu Qing was very happy to break through to the fourth layer of qi refining, he was not proud of it, how could he not be clear about his own situation, in order to cultivate, he used almost all the spirit stones for cultivation, and now he already felt that the spiritual energy contained in the spirit stones could not meet the cultivation requirements, and he could only rely on pills to improve his cultivation speed in the future.

"By the way, you can take these pills, I don't need them. Liu Yang slapped the storage bag with one hand, took out a few bottles of pills from it and handed them to Xu Qing.

"This is..."Xu Qing opened the medicine bottle, and a fragrant smell entered his nose.

"Don't refuse this time, I have advanced to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Stage a few days ago, and these pills have no effect on me, and now the pills assigned to me by the sect have been replaced with Qi Accumulation Pills. ”

The sect only gives each person ten Qi Nourishing Pills every month, and Liu Yang obviously gives Xu Qing far more than ten, which means that Liu Yang has been quietly keeping it for Xu Qing, Xu Qing didn't say anything thankful, but just kept these kindnesses firmly in his heart.

"The fifth layer of qi refining is amazing, this young master is also the fifth layer of qi refining, I won't need these pills anyway, so I'll give it to you." Gao Han pursed his lips and said, then he took out a few bottles of pills from the storage bag and handed them to Xu Qing.

"Huh, Gao boy, I can't see it, I didn't expect you to stay for Xu Qing. Liu Yang was surprised to see that Gao Han actually gave Xu Qing a lot of pills, and quipped.

"I just saw that you left the pill for Xu Qing, and I didn't take it myself, if I took the pill, even if I entered the border faster than you, you would not be convinced, hey, I want you to know that Young Master Ben is definitely better than you. As for these pills, they are cheap Xu Qing, and I can't use them anyway. Gao Han did not admit that it was a pill specially reserved for Xu Qing, and explained in righteous words.

Liu Yang and Xu Qing looked at each other and smiled, it has been so long, they have also figured out Gao Han's temperament, Gao Han is like a spoiled child, usually arrogant, and it is easy to offend people with a mouth, but he has no bad intentions.

After the core disciples of the Yuntian Sect broke through to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, they could go to the Foreign Affairs Room to receive a flying sword and a shield magic weapon, both of which were top-level magic weapons.

At this moment, Xu Qing was playing with a flying sword in the room, the sword body was more than a foot long, and there was a faint aura flowing throughout the body. Xu Qing slowly injected mana, the fiery red aura gradually covered the aura of the flying sword itself, he carefully controlled the flying sword with his spiritual sense, and the flying sword also hovered around him under Xu Qing's control, at first a little trembling, but as time went on, Xu Qing's control became more and more skilled and accurate.

While carefully controlling the flying sword, Xu Qing took out a shield from the storage bag and slowly injected mana into the shield, the shield was enough to cover half of Xu Qing's body, quietly suspended in the air, and there seemed to be a faint light curtain circulating on the surface.

The flying sword hovered around Xu Qing, and the shield was also rapidly changing positions, where the flying sword flew, the shield protected which direction, a sword and a shield chased in the room like this, like two naughty children, tireless.

Xu Qing had a lot of fun at first, but it didn't take long for him to feel more and more strained, and his head was getting more and more painful, so frightened that he quickly stopped controlling the flying sword and shield, and the situation did not continue to deteriorate.

Xu Qing investigated his physical condition and found that his mana was not much left, and his spiritual sense was even more drastically depleted, Xu Qing secretly said that it was dangerous, after this incident, Xu Qing was much more careful, and he didn't dare to hold it up anymore.

This is also Xu Qing's carelessness, Xu Qing has just broken through to the fourth layer, and his spiritual sense has just been transformed into spiritual consciousness, and it is okay to barely control one magic weapon, but if he wants to control two magic weapons at the same time, the spiritual consciousness consumption will be very large, which is not something he can control at present.

Fortunately, when Xu Qing controlled the two magic weapons, he only circled around his body, if Xu Qing controlled the magic weapons at the same time, the spiritual consciousness consumed in that moment would probably be able to consume Xu Qing's little spiritual consciousness, in that case, it would cause great damage to the divine soul, even if it was too late to regret it.
