After buying the talisman, after a while, Lu Xu came to a stall selling magic weapons, and as soon as he stepped forward, the stall owner smiled and hugged his fists and said, "This junior brother, what is the need." ”

Lu Xu clasped his fists and saluted the other party and said, "I want to buy a defensive magic weapon and an offensive magic weapon, and I also ask my senior brother for guidance." ”

When the stall owner heard this, he smiled and said with a happy face: "Haha, this junior brother is in the right place, you see, these three are good among the low-grade magic weapons." After that, he looked at Lu Xu's cultivation, and then said: "Senior disciple has a solid foundation, and there is no need to urge these three magic weapons to be like other low-level cultivators, and there is no need to have a lack of mana. ”

"Please advise. Hearing this, Lu Xu said.

The stall owner said "um" and nodded: "This low-grade flying sword magic weapon is called 'Flying Leaf', although its attack power is not very strong, but its attack speed is one of the best, flexible and changeable, and compared to the other two, the mana required is the lowest; ”

After that, he glanced at Lu Xu, and then said, "With the current mana thickness of the junior brother, it is enough." This third magic weapon, named: 'Guiyuan Shield', a low-grade defensive magic weapon, is taken from the refining of the demon beast Yuan tortoise back armor, I don't know which one you fancy junior brother?"

After Lu Xu picked up the three magic weapons and urged them one by one, he pondered in his heart for a long time before he said, "Thank you for your advice, I choose the flying sword and the Guiyuan shield, I don't know how much these two magic weapons are worth?"

The stall owner was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Senior brother has a good eye, so let's do it, the first time my junior brother visits me, I will give you a nine-percent discount and a hundred low-level spirit stones." ”

Lu Xu was stunned when he heard this, and said with a thought: "I don't know if you can use the pill as a mortgage here!"

"Oh, what kind of elixir?" Hearing this, a strange look flashed on the stall owner's face.

Lu Xu didn't speak, patted the storage bag, took out a jade bottle from it and handed it over.

The stall owner took the jade bottle and poured out a pill from it, and immediately a strong medicinal fragrance came to his face. The stall owner's face immediately showed a look of ecstasy, and he exclaimed, "This is the Essence Cultivation Pill. ”

"Yes, there are five of them. Lu Xu smiled slightly.

"Senior brother, do you really want to take this essence cultivation pill to the spirit stone?" the stall owner showed a strange look on his face, and said to Lu Xu urgently. You must know that among the monks, the elixir that can increase mana is the most precious thing, and almost no one will exchange their elixir for it.

"Well, if it weren't for the new disciple's trial to start immediately, and the next urgent need for a magic weapon to defend himself, he would never have sold the pill. Lu Xu had already thought about how to deal with it, and his face did not change.

Hearing this, the stall owner showed a sudden expression, too, if it weren't for the deadly rookie disciple trial, the fool would sell the pill. Thinking about his trial, he also wanted to save his life and improve his strength at all costs. "Okay, junior brother, just have these five plus forty spirit stones. ”

After buying the magic weapon, Lu Xu wandered around for a while and then returned to his residence, and after spending a few days and refining several magic weapons, he began to continue to take the Solid Spirit Pill to cultivate, striving to raise his cultivation to the fourth level of the Qi refining period before the trial.

In the following days, Lu Xu immersed himself in penance in the medicine garden, taking pills to raise his cultivation to the fourth level. Immediately, he tempered and purified his mana every day. After refining all the mana in his body, his cultivation fell to the third layer of the Qi Refining Period. Immediately after taking the pill again, he raised his cultivation to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and then purified it again.

There are no years of cultivation, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xu finally stabilized his cultivation at the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and as soon as he reached the fourth layer, Lu Xu immediately experienced a completely different feeling from before, his five senses were "boomed" and suddenly raised to a realm that ordinary people could not imagine, and everything in his eyes suddenly became so bright and clear. As if with a magnifying glass, some subtle things that I could not see before were suddenly magnified, and the details were visible in my eyes, even a small ant in the corner of the room was carrying a clod of soil, and the ears suddenly became extremely sensitive, and countless sounds that I had heard before or had never heard before poured into my ears, as if they were happening in front of my eyes. For example, a wild dog in the distance is lying on the back of a female dog rolling on the thatch, a toad on a small vine in the medicine garden is reviewing the mosquito flight brigade around him with a big belly, etc., these sounds seem to be ringing in his ears, sounding so real, so clear; The smell of the earthy smell of the heavy rain, and the smell of various medicines can be clearly smelled.

Lu Xu was surprised and delighted, this feeling was really good, as if there was an inexplicable sense of security that everything around him was under control.

In addition to this, he also felt that his body was much lighter than before, and his spirit had also made great progress, and his brain, which had been tired from continuous cultivation these days, suddenly became extremely clear.

Lu Xu savored the things in his body that were completely different from before. If he stayed where he was and didn't move for a while, he could understand the big and small things that were happening within dozens of zhang, and this feeling of being in control of everything made Lu Xu very obsessed.

It turns out that this is the difference between the early stage of the gas refining period and the middle stage of the gas refining period.

During this period of cultivation, the sect can be described as turbulent, and the new disciples are all busy preparing for the trials of the new disciples, and even Guo Huai's family no longer wanders around, and is dedicated to penance.

During this period, the white-haired old man came to the medicine garden to collect the elixir that Lu Xu had already prepared, and the old man also rewarded Lu Xu with ten primary-level spirit stones with satisfaction.

On this day, Lu Xu was practicing spells in the courtyard, and he heard a violent bell ringing in the distance, nine rings in a row, which came from the peak where the Zixiao Hall was located.

"It's finally here. Lu Xu sighed slightly, and then checked the things on his body, and after making sure that everything he needed to prepare was brought with him, he used the light body technique to shoot away into the distance.

Half an hour later, Lu Xu came to the main hall of Danyang Peak, and in the main hall at this time, seven or eight new disciples were bustling together.

These new disciples all participated in the small competition that day, and most of them looked very young, the younger ones were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones were only in their early twenties.

Some whispered, others looked around, and more sat cross-legged with their eyes closed.

Seeing this, Lu Xu walked to the crowd by himself, found an open space, sat cross-legged on the ground, and waited quietly.

In the following time, several new disciples came from all directions one after another. And silently joined the crowd.

In a short time, there were as many as eighteen new disciples in the main hall. Since Feng Ruiyang, who was standing at the front, did not speak, everyone had to continue to wait.

Among them is the dead fat man Guo Huai.

As soon as this guy saw Lu Xu, he naturally immediately stepped forward to Lu Xu's side, and looked at his trembling appearance, and seemed to be extremely nervous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time you new disciples have been summoned here for the upcoming new disciple trial. According to the rules, a new disciple must participate in an introductory trial jointly held by the nine veins of the sect, and only after passing it can he be officially recognized by other disciples. ”、

"I won't go into details, someone will explain it to you then. In addition, the place of trial for this entry is set in the Netherworld Ghost Land. Those who think that their cultivation is insufficient, or who do not want to participate in this trial at all, can withdraw, and those who quit will be expelled from the Zixiao Sect. Feng Ruiyang said when he saw that the new disciples had arrived.

After hearing Feng Ruiyang say "Netherworld Ghost Land", most of the new disciples felt a little nervous in their hearts.

"Alright, now you set out with me and head to the Netherlands. ”

"Brother Lu, about this introductory trial and the Netherworld, you can understand the situation inside. Guo Huai leaned in front of Lu Xu and asked directly.

"I don't know much about this, what's the matter, Brother Guo, do you know?" Lu Xu replied calmly when he heard this.

"Speaking of this introductory trial, the main purpose is to test the introductory disciple's ability to adapt to actual combat. Although the general trial can be passed as long as you stay in it for enough time, the danger of falling is extremely great, and every time there will always be thirty percent of new disciples who accidentally lose their lives in the trial. Guo Huai's fat face was full of cold sweat and explained to Lu Xu.

"Oh. Lu Xu heard this mortality rate. He nodded thoughtfully.

"The Netherworld Ghost Land is a spatial crack discovered by the Zixiao Sect five thousand years ago, which contains an extremely rich ghost qi and has given birth to countless living dead. And most of the other creatures and plants are ghosts, of course, there are many spiritual materials that are extremely rare in the eyes of the outside world. The disciples who passed the previous interview have really gained a lot of benefits from it, and it can be said that they have benefited a lot from killing the living dead to get the mysterious jade in exchange for the contribution points of the sect. However, although the living dead have no intelligence, they are inherently invincible and can continue to fight without cutting off their heads. Guo Huai's face turned pale and continued.

When Guo Huai mentioned the method of killing the living dead, Lu Xu's heart moved, which is very similar to the zombies in 21st century movies.

"Thank you, Brother Guo. After Lu Xu thanked him, he walked out of the hall with everyone.

"Hehe, Brother Lu, there is something to ask for below. Guo Huai followed behind Lu Xu, looking forward to Ai Ai's words.

"Oh, Brother Guo might as well speak up if he has something. Lu Xu looked at this fat man with some amusement, before he went in, he was almost frightened.

"Hehe, then I'll say it. That day, Brother Lu's supernatural powers were really admired by Brother Lu, and after entering the Netherworld and Ghost Land, he hoped that Brother Lu would take care of him. Guo Huai said a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, this matter, no problem, what do we have to do with it, but when you and I act together. Lu Xu patted Guo Huai's shoulder and said with a slight smile.

"Haha, thank you Brother Lu. Guo Huai immediately looked happy when he heard this, and said happily.
