"Xu Han, I'm here." Zhang Zhongqi's voice came from outside the Jing room. Xu Han waved his hand and the stone door of the Jing room was opened. For five years, Zhang Zhongqi was responsible for taking away the elixirs refined by Xu Han, and then bringing in the items that Xu Han needed.

During these five years, Xu Han has appeared in the sects very few times, and only has gone out a few times. Even if he goes out, he will come back soon.

Xu Han's five years of lonely and arduous life also received generous rewards. During these five years, Xu Han had been obsessed with the help of a tent in his practice and finally entered the tenth level of Qi refining with the help of a tent in his practice. Of course, he deliberately created the two obsessed with the help of his tent.

The effect is very good. The Yang family no longer pays attention to him as deliberately as before, believing that he is not essentially different from ordinary demon cultivators. Although his martial arts are of extraordinary quality, he still has inherent disadvantages of demon cultivators and is prone to becoming possessed. Since this is the case, the Yang family no longer needs to be so afraid of him.

As the ancestor of the Ma family calculated, the purpose of paralyzing the Yang family has been achieved.

In the past five years, there were no external elixirs to be reproduced by Xu Han, and all of them were digested by the inside of the Ma family. For Xu Han, the Ancient Peak and the Ma family reached an alliance, and more people should not know Xu Han's background. For the outside world, the Yang family and other monks all believed that in order to prepare for a big event, Xu Han made Xu Han refine the elixir for five years and lost a lot of cultivation.

In the outside world, many cultivators who were specially trained with Xu Han have advanced to the twelfth level of Qi Refining within the past five years, and waited for the sect to distribute foundation building pills to try to build the foundation. Although the foundation building pills are limited and the success rate of foundation building is limited, these cultivators have undoubtedly walked ahead of Xu Han. Once they successfully build the foundation, they will immediately become foundation building cultivators. No matter how strong Xu Han is, he is not as strong as the foundation building cultivator.

Many people feel sorry for Xu Han, believing that Xu Han is harmed by his alchemy talent.

Among them are some people from the Ning family who are also unknown. Ning Shuangqi also talked about this matter with Ma Youming, but Ma Youming perfunctorily passed by. Only Zhang Zhongqi knew the real truth, and even Xi Shuncheng didn't know it.

"Old Xi complained again, saying that the Peak Lord and the others were too unfair to you." Zhang Zhongqi said lightly after taking the pill.

"Old Xi is a honest person. He told him that he might not be able to hide the truth, so he can only be sorry for him." Xu Han's face was very pale for almost five years, and his smile became even more weak.

"By the way, there is another thing. The sects will have a big competition recently. Our Qi Refining Cultivators exchanged for Foundation Building Pills based on their ranking and past sect contributions. I'll make up for it. The contributions you made with points are not enough. You have to go out to participate in the sect competition and earn some points in exchange for sect contributions." Zhang Zhongqi said another thing.

"When? I'll go out to participate." Xu Han said indifferently.

Even Zhang Zhongqi didn't know that although Xu Han had only advanced once in the past five years, Xu Han's cultivation level was far deeper than before.

Although he could not improve his cultivation in five years, he thought of another way to improve himself, that is, to continue to take pills to cultivate the original essence and increase his accumulation. The rewards were also very generous. According to his estimate, based on his magic power alone, he would definitely be far superior to ordinary twelve-level qi refining cultivators.

In addition, after five years of water grinding, all the skills have become more harmonious. It is easy to go out to participate in the sect competition and earn good rankings and get some points. Of course, I don’t care much about the sect competition.

"I have signed up for you. The first one will be in ten days. Don't forget." Zhang Zhongqi reminded before leaving.

"Okay." Xu Han agreed and refined the pill again.

Over the past five years, Xu Han's level of refining pills has also increased rapidly. Although he has only been at the tenth level of Qi refining, his level is almost up to the level of an alchemy master. Generally, only foundation-building cultivators can become master-level alchemists. Although Xu Han's cultivation is a little bit inferior, he is enough to be proud to have achieved such achievements after five years of lonely and hard work.

Nine days later, Xu Han teleported out of the alchemy room deep underground in the Dark Abyss Peak.

After coming out, a Qi-refining monk who was in charge of guarding the alchemy room said, "Who is that person? When did you go in?"

The Qi Refining Cultivator who was in charge of the guards often rotated. Xu Han didn't come out every year. Xu Han came out several times and encountered the Qi Refining Cultivator who did not recognize him. He didn't know when he entered the alchemy room. Only after seeing Xu Han's token did he show a shocking expression. A Qi Refining Cultivator can stay in the alchemy room filled with earth fire for so long, which is completely beyond their imagination.

How did they know that Xu Han has all the five elements, and that even if they stay next to the earth fire for a long time, they cannot harm Xu Han? This is also something that people who know Xu Han’s background are envious. A monk who can endure the damage of the earth fire for a long time can go further on the road of alchemy.

Xu Han obviously has advantages that others cannot reach in this regard.

Back at the cave, Xu Han waved his token and walked in.

"Young Master, you are back." A person in the cave saw someone coming in and showed a puzzled expression. When he saw it was Xu Han, he immediately showed an extremely surprised expression and hurriedly came up. This man was very young and felt that he was two or three years younger than the weak Xu Han. This man was no one else, but Xu An, who used to serve Xu Han in the Xu family.

A few years ago, Xu An couldn't stay in the Xu family and found Xu Han's shop in Fangshi, Baihe Town.

Zhang Zhongqi, who happened to be dealing with Xu Han's shop, was seen by Zhang Zhongqi, and then brought to Lingyun Sect by Zhang Zhongqi, becoming a serious disciple of Lingyun Sect, specializing in some of Xu Han's chores outside.

"Xiao An, please make some water for me. I want to rest for one night and participate in the sect competition tomorrow." Xu Han did not treat this servant who was loyal to him unfairly, and often gave him some elixirs. Xu An, who was originally poor in cultivating immortals, also practiced to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"Okay, young master." Xu An quickly agreed.

After washing up, Xu Han lay on the bed and slept with his head covered. After long-term refining pills, Xu Han was in a very depressing mood. If you want to participate in a sect competition, you don’t have a good rest. Not to mention fighting with others, you are afraid you can’t even use magic tools.

Early the next morning, Xu Han came to the sect competition early.

The rules are very simple, which is to win three consecutive games first, and then enter the group stage. After the group stage comes out, enter the knockout round. The top 50 players in the knockout round have the highest points and will automatically get the Foundation Building Pill. The last 50 players will be given points and the contribution of the sect will be added. If the points are not enough, the contribution of the sect can be given a Foundation Building Pill.

After Zhang Zhongqi's calculation, Xu Han had to enter the bottom fifty at the lowest level.

At first, Xu Han was puzzled. Why couldn't the contributions of the sect exchanged with his points be exchanged for a foundation-building pill? When he arrived at the square of the sect competition, Xu Han understood the reason. The number of Qi-refining cultivators in Lingyun Sect far exceeded his imagination. Among them, Xu Han roughly estimated that there were thousands of cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi-refining cultivators. Together, there were nearly 100,000 other Qi-refining cultivators.

The entire square is crowded, and Xu Han can't figure it out, why are there so many Qi-refining cultivators in Lingyun Sect?
