Chen Yufan didn't know that not long after he practiced in seclusion, the outer sect where he was was starting to become lively. This was because the five-year assessment competition would officially start in the outer sect in five days. As long as he got twenty in this competition
They can all enter the inner sect directly, and the top ten will receive very rich rewards. In addition to receiving item rewards, the top three can also enter the sword pool at the top of Qingyun Mountain to practice. This is what really attracts many outer sect disciples.
.
As we all know, there is a spiritual pool in Qingyun Mountain, called Jianchi. The main reason why Qingyun Sect can become the strongest among the three major sects in Nanjun is that there is a spiritual pool in Qingyun Sect, and the other
The two sects did not, and this was the reason for the gap between the three sects.
At the beginning, the spiritual energy in this sword pool was so rich that it could be used for training not only for the outer disciples, but also for the core disciples. But now as time goes by, the spiritual energy in the sword pool is consumed faster and faster. In the beginning
It was the core disciples who couldn't practice, so they gave it to the inner disciples. Now even the inner disciples can't supply it completely, so they can only push it to the outer disciples as a reward for the outer disciples.
Although the spiritual power in the sword pool is no longer comparable to that in the past, even so, for some outer sect disciples who have not yet entered the true stage, this sword pool is the best place to break through. Nowadays, among the outer sects, the most
Strong people are only half-way into the true stage. In other words, they still have not reached the true stage, but they are only half a step away from it.
There is a huge difference between those who are half-into the true stage and those who have truly reached the true stage. A cultivator in the early stage of entering the true stage can kill one or two strong men who are half-into the true stage. From this, it can be seen that the two
the difference between.
If you want to break through to the early stage of the true stage, you only need an opportunity, and this Sword Pond can be used as an opportunity to allow the outer disciples who are halfway to the true stage to break through to the early stage of the true stage, so for Sword Pond
He said that these outer disciples attach great importance to it. After all, if they can get the opportunity to enter the sword pool, they can enter the true stage. Who doesn't want such a good thing?
Because of this incident, the entire outer sect became lively, and even the inner sect became lively due to the influence of the outer sect. Only one person in the entire outer sect was very calm, and did not make noises or anything.
This is naturally Chen Yufan.
It has been a week since Chen Yufan practiced in seclusion. Chen Yufan went directly from the Great Perfection of Body Tempering to the realm of semi-realization. However, no matter how he practiced, he could not make any more progress. It was like a water tank that was already full of water.
It was like being unable to pour excess water, which made Chen Yufan very distressed.
After practicing for a few more days, Chen Yufan finally gave up. He knew that he could not achieve a breakthrough by practicing like this. It was better to go and ask his master how he came back. After all, Shen Zhenhua was a master of the Great Perfection of Transforming Infants. These questions
Everyone should know this, so Chen Yufan quickly quit practicing and walked out of the house.
…
In the square outside the Qingyun Gate, as usual, many disciples gathered together, chatting and competing, or otherwise just being in a daze, but it was different today. The disciples standing in the square were all whispering to each other and talking about the topic.
It's actually not the same.
"Hey! Have you heard? Senior brother Xie and the others came back yesterday." One of the outer disciples said to the disciple next to him.
"Yeah! I also saw them entering the outer gate from the outside yesterday. I feel that Senior Brother Xie and the others are stronger, and they seem to have broken through to the early stage of true enlightenment." The disciple thought for a moment and signed.
"Thank you, senior brother, they have already reached the state of perfect body tempering. After going out to practice this time, I'm afraid they have already entered the state of semi-realization!" The disciple just said with an envious look on his face.
"It should be there! After all, half a year has passed. However, this half-step into the true stage is not comparable to the Body Tempering Perfection. It seems that the top three this time will be the three of them again."
One disciple said with a frustrated look.
"We are incomparable. Senior Brother Xie and the others all have an elder as their master, and with their own talents, it is reasonable that they would be like this. If Senior Brother Xie and the others enter the Sword Pool this time, they will definitely be promoted to the rank of
In the early stage of True Reality, if your talent is good, you can reach the peak of the Early stage of True True Realization. I’m so envious!” The disciple just now had a yearning look on his face.
At this moment, a figure walked past him. When the disciple was about to look, he found that the figure had disappeared. He thought he had seen a ghost. Then he thought about it, but it was broad daylight now.
The ghost came, so he shook his head and started chatting with the disciple next to him again.
On the path leading to the inner gate, Chen Yufan walked forward like a ghost. His speed was staggering. However, this figure was the same as what the disciple saw just now. In fact, just now
That person was Chen Yufan, but the disciple's strength was low and he couldn't keep up with his eyes.
"I really didn't expect that someone who is halfway into the true stage can be so powerful!"
Chen Yufan turned around and looked at the steps behind him, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was because he himself did not expect that he would be so fast after using his stiffness. After all, he had not been so fast before.
"It seems that this is all because I have entered the semi-realization stage."
Chen Yufan thought like this in his heart, and headed in one direction. That was where the inner gate was. Chen Yufan's master, Shen Zhenhua, lived in Xiaojianfeng in the inner gate. He went there this time because he wanted to go
Ask Shen Zhenhua why he can't break through.
This was Chen Yufan's first time to live in Shen Zhenhua's place, and also his first time in the inner gate. He originally thought that the elders must live in a nice place, but after taking a look, he realized that it was similar to where they lived. The difference was that one was bigger and the other was smaller.
, and there were two young disciples standing in front of Shen Zhenhua's house. Seeing Chen Yufan approaching, one of them immediately stepped forward and said: "Senior Brother Lin! Master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."
Upon hearing this young disciple's words, Chen Yufan was immediately confused. He thought to himself, does Master have the ability to predict the future? Otherwise, why would he ask this young disciple to wait for him here so early?
With this question in mind, Chen Yufan followed the young disciple slowly into the house, and then walked towards where Shen Zhenhua was.
Shen Zhenhua was obviously not in the place where he was meditating. It was not until he came to the inner room that Chen Yufan discovered that Shen Zhenhua was sitting on the stone bed.
Seeing himself arriving, he smiled and said: "Here he comes!"
"Yes! Master!" Chen Yufan bowed very respectfully and said with a serious expression.
"Don't be so serious. Just be more relaxed in front of your teacher." Shen Zhenhua laughed for a while, and then said, "Do you want to ask why I knew you would come to me?"
"Master, you have a wonderful plan!" Chen Yufan raised his hand and said.
"It's all nonsense. Master said, you don't have to be like this. Do you want to make Master angry?" Shen Zhenhua couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Chen Yufan was still like this.
After Shen Zhenhua behaved like this, Chen Yufan naturally couldn't continue like this. He lowered his raised hands and smiled on his face. Then he said with a smile: "Since the master said so, then the disciple will be disrespectful." !”
"That's it. We don't have to be so different between master and disciple!" Shen Zhenhua smiled again.
"Master! This disciple is here to ask you why I can't move up to the true realm even though I've reached the semi-real level in cultivation?"
Although Chen Yufan knew that Shen Zhenhua might have guessed what he was going to say, he still said it himself.
"Master knows that you are here for this. In fact, this is a necessary process in the cultivation process, especially the state of body tempering to the stage of entering the true state is a qualitative change. It is reasonable for you to feel this way." Shen Zhen Hua kept gently holding his beard with his right hand and said with a mature look.
"Then how to solve it?" Chen Yufan asked.
"There are many solutions. You may realize it all at once, or you may be promoted, but most of them rely on external forces." Shen Zhenhua said solemnly.
"External power?" Chen Yufan became confused. He didn't understand what external power Shen Zhenhua was referring to. Could it be that he wanted his master to get through to him?
Shaking his head, Chen Yufan knew that this was obviously impossible, so he raised his head and waited for Shen Zhenhua's next words.
"External power refers to the use of external objects or media to achieve this purpose. Now there is an excellent opportunity in front of you, but I don't know if you can do it." Shen Zhenhua smiled at him. Chen Yufan said.
"What chance? Master, please don't show off, just tell me quickly!"
Chen Yufan looked very anxious. It's no wonder that he was about to break through and was stuck in the semi-realm. Now that there was a solution, he was naturally very anxious.
"Outer sect assessment competition!" Shen Zhenhua said with a smile.
"Outer sect assessment competition?"
Only then did Chen Yufan remember the outer disciples he had met on the way here. This was what they were talking about. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. What does the competition have to do with him? At first, he thought like this Yes, it was only then that he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong. He did not expect that the solution Shen Zhenhua said was actually this, which made him feel a little depressed.
"Does this have anything to do with the external examination competition?"
Although Chen Yufan knew that Shen Zhenhua would not target him innocently, he still asked. He also wanted to know the reason for this.
"Of course, otherwise why would I talk about this?" Shen Zhenhua rolled his eyes at Chen Yufan, "Do you know what the rewards are for the outer sect assessment competition?"
"How do I know? I've never participated!"
Chen Yufan looked at Shen Zhenhua as if he was an idiot. It wasn't until Shen Zhenhua glared at him that he looked away.
"The top twenty in this assessment competition can directly enter the inner sect and become inner sect disciples, while the top ten can receive magic pills as rewards, and the top three will receive a very big reward in addition to these. That is the quota for entering the Sword Pool."
Shen Zhenhua said the last few words word for word. He was afraid that Chen Yufan wouldn't hear it. In fact, his worry was unnecessary. It was related to whether he could break through the current realm. Chen Yufan naturally would not miss a single detail. .
