Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beginning of Cultivation

Elder Li smiled and replied, "How is it possible, the road to cultivation is so long, and when you reach the infant stage, you can't continue to advance by cultivating behind closed doors, cultivation is one thing, and it depends on your own chances!"

"Next, let me announce your cultivation tasks for the next year. "Elder Li didn't have much time to mess with these children today, so he cut straight to the point. Yesterday there was such a long time, and there was a slight delay in repairing the mountain protection array.

Sure enough, to most people's expectations, Xuan Ming'er was selected by Elder Li to be his disciple, and in the future, she would receive thirty spirit stones every month on a regular basis, and she didn't have to do some laborious errands, but she didn't feel anything herself, she looked at Xia Xue and nodded, so she agreed.

When Chen Mu saw this scene, he finally remembered the biggest difference between the girl in blue who saved him before and Xuan Ming'er, the expression and eyes of the girl in blue were a little more confused and suspicious than the current Xuan Ming'er.

Seeing that Xuan Ming'er was able to completely abandon those confusions, Chen Mu's mood was also a little more relaxed, and he finally figured it out, in order to find Yan Xingyu, he had to become stronger without any worries.

A day ago, Chen Mu followed the "Yan Xingyu" to the main hall, and when he entered, he found that the surroundings were quiet, there was no half a figure, and there was no clue about Yan Xingyu.

When he was about to go out, a faint pillar of light lit up on the side of the hall, and when he secretly looked, someone was standing in this pillar of light and slowly sinking, and then looked closely, it turned out to be Yan Xingyu.

"Chen Mu I know you are here, thank you for coming in with me, in this uninhabited palace, I can tell you the last sentence without any care, don't come to me, I am already a person from the underworld, we will see you in the next life!" Yan Xingyu seemed to say in a flat voice, only to see that her lower body had disappeared as if she were sinking.

Chen Mu had already rushed towards Yan Xingyu with a nervous expression, he knew that Yan Xingyu was not really willing to go, she had promised to fly to immortality with him, instead of going to the so-called underworld.

Bumps and bumps and crawled towards her, every step is slow motion for Yan Xingyu, she has no time.

"Brother Chen Mu, save me! Find my **, take me back! I don't want to go! Woo woo woo ......" When Yan Xingyu's upper body was about to fall into the underworld, she finally couldn't help crying.

Chen Mu lay on the ground with red and swollen circles under his eyes, and hit the ground hard, it was too late...... He knew that this was just Yan Xingyu's soul, he hated that he couldn't save his friends by his side three times and twice, last time it was Xia Xue, this time it was Yan Xingyu, he complained that he had no strength, he didn't have the strength to protect others, he regretted it very much, he knew that the last time Yan Xingyu existed in the human world was to watch and encourage him to take the entrance test, and he didn't tell him that she was dead in order not to affect the final results, and in her repeated encouragement, if he could turn back and find her traces earlier, maybe there would be a chance!

"No! Tell me, how did you become like this! I will definitely not let go of the person who hurt you! I will definitely save you back!" Chen Musheng shouted the last sentence hoarsely.

And Yan Xingyu only said two words before disappearing - red-clothed......

With the low opening sound of the stone door, Chen Mu returned to Huoli's cave with a very heavy heart, his thoughts were extremely confused, and he was stupid all night until dawn, but he still did not give up this opportunity to worship a high-level monk as a teacher, and came to the square sickly and stood in the queue under the stage.

Xia Xue chatted excitedly with Xuan Ming'er all night last night, and didn't care about Chen Mu's actions at all.

Under the auspices of Elder Li, this conference was held in an orderly manner, and after a while, the young man in the condensation period of the tuqing shirt went to the Wang Beast Hall to become a disciple of the hall master, the bald boy was taken away by the hall master of the Protector Hall, and the gray-clothed young man chose to go to the formation hall to learn the formation.

When Xiao Pei, the first place in the test competition in the audience, was selected and taken away by the master of the Alien Fire Hall, the surrounding high-ranking monks who had no official positions began to enter the arena to select disciples......

Some of the more intelligent children who wanted to worship the elders as their teachers were disappointed, and today there was still only Elder Li alone, but he was only willing to accept Xuan Ming'er as an apprentice. Xia Xue, as a member of the royal family, was quietly told by Elder Li to report to Elder Sun a few days later, and quietly left the square after making some eye contact with Chen Mu.

After about two hours, there were basically not many people on the field, but it was a pity that Chen Mu was among these leftovers.

Chen Mu turned from hope to disappointment again, only knowing that his plan to change to a good master could not be realized, and he would have to endure the smell of wine from Huoli in the future.

Disciples who are selected by high-level monks are free to choose whether to work to earn spirit stones or participate in sect building, because they have a fixed monthly subsidy of thirty spirit stones like Xuan Ming'er, so it doesn't matter if they stay in the cave all day.

But the remaining forty-one people on the field were different, there was no fixed income from spirit stones, which would greatly affect the speed of cultivation, and they had to take on jobs that no one wanted to do to earn spirit stones.

Absorbing a spiritual stone that condenses into a solid form of spiritual energy can catch up with the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by meditating for a day.

Moreover, in order to motivate the disciples to contribute more to the sect, all the exercise books were priced in spirit stones.

At this time, a person hurriedly walked from a distance, much fatter than Elder Li. A middle-aged monk with a round face and a round belly stood directly next to Elder Li and began to speak.

"I am Zhu Xing, the hall master of the Inner Affairs Hall, all newcomers, please participate in the tasks assigned by the Inner Affairs Hall, whoever gets the most task rewards in a year will be my personal disciple!" After speaking, he hurriedly ran away again, as if he had something very urgent.

This sudden little change gave the people who remained on the venue a little hopeful.

Chen Mu didn't care too much about that person, he had already made up his mind to uncover the secret of the white room in order to improve his own strength and make preliminary preparations for rescuing Yan Xingyu.

The first step in his plan was to find a connection between the hexagonal body in the center of his head and eyebrows and the white room.

After Zhu walked, Elder Li continued: "Don't be discouraged for the rest of you, first advance the Dao to the Condensation Stage with your current master, as long as you have the strength, you will definitely be appreciated by the elders and the hall master." For the next year, you will be free to enter and exit the stele hall, which is the side hall closest to the back mountain. There are a large number of steles there, and each stele can receive tasks that allow you to earn spirit stones, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely earn a large number of spirit stones, and your cultivation speed is definitely not slower than those who have high-level masters!"

The last sentence was the most critical, and the remaining children in the audience cheered, they have proved that they are not worse than others by going this far, and taking on a large number of tasks will give them the greatest possible surname of the pheasant to become a phoenix.

Chen Mu also seems to be interested in these tasks, and maybe he can find what he is looking for.

Back in Huoli Cave Mansion, Chen Mu and Xia Xue said goodbye reluctantly, and agreed to come here every month to hold this party, and they also swore to be the most iron brother and sister trio forever like adults......

No matter how long the reunion is, there will always be a parting, and Chen Mu finally forcibly sent away the two senior sisters who were unwilling to leave. When he looked at the empty cave, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He thought of Yan Xingyu again, the little girl who had promised to become an immortal with him......

"Why! What happened to me in the time I was away while you were blindfolded and asked me to be your spiritual pillar a year ago......! Where is your body, I will find you out through the entire Xuanqing Sect......" In the end, Chen Mu couldn't hold back the pain in his heart and broke out.

The word "red clothes" that Yan Xingyu said to him at the end kept echoing in his mind, but he was still unwilling to connect Yi Shanshan with Yan Xingyu's death, just like what happened in the secret room, he insisted on confronting Yi Shanshan in person, he thought that in this way he could restore the truth of the matter.

A child like Chen Mu, who has not yet entered the WTO, is the most easily confused by some benefits and rhetoric, and the final result will only prove his wishful thinking.

Early the next morning, Chen Mu adjusted his mood and came to the stele hall.

He used to pass by this side hall often, and saw some monks coming in and out without knowing what was going on. Now it seems that the task must be handed over, and no matter what level of monk there is a demand for spirit stones.

Use the dark iron plate printed with the word "Chen Mu" on the dark iron door at the door, and the door will open. This brand was just sent to him, and there was also a bamboo slip attached to it, which Chen Mu had already memorized. Through this formula, you can open the tiny mustard seed space in this special dark iron plate, about a zhang square storage space, which is absolutely enough for Chen Mu.

He had already piled up the mess of herb powder and clothes, which seemed to be very useful, but the green grass and black grass were still on the table in the bedroom, so that he could absorb enough spiritual nourishment. These grasses feed on the aura, which he discovered by chance not long ago.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Mu was surprised by the scenery inside, the dense stone tablets stood in the hall, and there were some stone tablets hanging above the lobby, each stone tablet had its own number, and it seemed that the stone tablets with the first number were floating in the air.

Of course, there are many people here, and this time Chen Mu saw Shi Wei again, and he was also one of the forty-one people who did not succeed in apprenticeship. He warmly invited Chen Mu to do the task together, but unfortunately Chen Mu came this time to find an opportunity that could not only earn spirit stones, but also allow him to study the secrets of the White Room with peace of mind, so he politely declined Shi Wei's kindness. Seeing Shi Wei leave again, Chen Mu was also a little upset in his heart.

The stone monuments on this ground are also large and small, and the more difficult the task, the larger the stone monument, and the less difficult the task, the smaller the stone monument.

"The task registered on those floating stone tablets must be the most difficult, and few of the senior monks who came in checked it, it seems that this aerial stone tablet task is not something that ordinary people can do. Chen Mu muttered a few words in amazement.

An hour passed quickly, and the stele that Chen Mu checked was getting smaller and smaller, and now, he only looked at the smallest stele and didn't look at the others.
