As soon as this sound wave fell, Kong Laosan seemed to sense something, and his face relaxed. At the same time, three snake heads the size of an adult's thumb were drilled out of the cracks in the stone wall of Snake Mountain. After this period of careful care, the three young blood snakes were
The size of the crowned snake seemed to have not changed at all, but there seemed to be a hint of spirituality in its eyes, which made Kong Laosan quite happy.
For the next period of time, Kong Laosan walked around every day, relaxing his mind and trying not to change his mood too much. In this way, with his mind relaxed, the injury that originally required rest for half a month was healed in a week.
After a while, Kong Laosan also carefully studied the ten bottles of black magic energy and a token obtained in the mysterious forbidden place. It is natural that there is no magic energy, and even a trace of it can affect one's mind. As for what exactly
It is not yet known what its purpose is, and the token seems quite mysterious.
On the token, there are black and green, with a string of strange characters in the middle, and on the back is an altar with extremely complicated patterns. It looks very ancient. It is heavy and cannot be identified from what material it is made of, but it has been
The vague pattern can also be inferred that this token has existed for an extremely long time.
What surprised Kong Laosan the most was that during his spiritual exploration, he actually felt a faint trace of space power inside the token, which seemed very strange.
It's just that Kong Laosan's soul is still very weak now, and he can only detect this trace of space power. As for other things, he can't find anything.
After everything was taken care of, Kong Laosan began to practice breathing and feeding day after day, feeding the blood-crowned snakes, and almost never left the snake yard.
The water flowed slowly, the white horse passed by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
The yellow leaves of the ancient trees in the snake courtyard were falling down one after another. During this period of time, Kong Laosan's strength had improved again, and he had reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining. It seemed that he could break through to the sixth level of Qi refining at any time, but Kong Laosan
San was not in a hurry, and even intentionally or unintentionally slowed down the progress of the breakthrough. The tall buildings were raised from the ground, and the foundations were unstable. Wanting to build higher floors was undoubtedly a fantasy. Kong Laosan already understood this in his previous life.
Naturally, he will not give up the most essential things in pursuit of superficial realms like those young men who first entered the immortal sect.
Now Kong Laosan has stayed in Qingling Sect for five years and also in Snake Court for five years. In less than a year, it will be six years. Many of the outer disciples are talking about
Although Kong Laosan had been staying in the Snake Garden all the time about the trial, several other outer disciples in the animal garden had more or less heard about it when they talked about it.
Kong Laosan also deliberately inquired about it during this period. In the past, the outer sect disciples' trials were usually assessed by some elders in the sect. As for the assessment, it would be different every year, but most of them were based on strength and improvement. If they passed the assessment, they would
If you have to go out to practice for a period of time, the elders in the sect will also issue tasks. As long as you complete the tasks, you can come back. After that, you can be promoted to an inner sect disciple and continue to practice in the sect.
However, the elders who take these tests are at least at the level of the ancestors of Jindan, and they cannot tolerate sand in their eyes. Therefore, those who pass the test every year only account for a small part of the outer disciples. Most of the outer disciples who fail the test will be dismissed.
They were sent to various places to take care of the sect's property, or they left the sect and spread their wings in the secular world.
Judging from past experience, there is usually only a one-tenth chance of being able to pass the test of an outer disciple. Even though Kong Laosan looks calm on the surface, there are still some fluctuations in his heart, which is not as good as his performance.
It came out so peaceful.
In the wooden house, Kong Laosan sat cross-legged. As his hands worked out a series of strange magic formulas, the breath of the fifth level of Qi refining in his body trembled slightly, and suddenly it was drawn back into the body, just like a towel absorbing water. Within a moment, the breath outside his body trembled slightly.
The released breath has become the third level of Qi Refining.
Kong Laosan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the effect of the invisible spirit technique, and nodded with satisfaction, "Now the invisible spirit technique has been somewhat successful. It is quite difficult to be able to hide in two realms, but with practice
After reaching great success, you should be able to completely hide your spiritual power."
Kong Laosan secretly said that as for the problem of not being able to use spiritual power after using the invisible spirit technique, Kong Laosan didn't care. If someone was really disadvantageous to him, it would be the last moment to use means. It would definitely be a life-and-death situation. Such exposure of strength and
It doesn't matter anymore.
For the next period of time, Kong Laosan was like usual. Apart from meditating and practicing secret techniques every day, he only had to take care of the Blood Crown Snake. However, half a year later, there was a notice in the door.
It caused an uproar.
The location for the outer disciples' assessment this time was, as usual, the Demon Burial Mountain where the Ancient Demon Burial Forest is located. However, this time the outer disciples assessment was a little different from the past. The outer disciples of the Liuhe Sect in Qinyang Dao Palace
The three sects of disciples will also participate in the assessment together. This situation only happened once more than ten years ago.
The assessment content mainly includes going to the Demon Burial Mountain to collect elixirs and kill monster beasts, as well as exploring the unknown areas in the Demon Burial Mountain and drawing maps.
With so many outer disciples entering Demon Burial Mountain at the same time, the competition pressure is also very high if they want to pick enough elixirs. Moreover, all the elixirs in the peripheral areas have already been picked completely. If you want to use this method,
If you pass the assessment, you need to go to the depths of the Demon Burial Mountain, those inaccessible places. In this way, the chance of encountering monsters will also be greatly increased, and the danger will be greatly increased. Even if several people are together, the risk of death is still very high.
Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also complete the test through the second method.
According to the classification of monster levels, the first to third-level monsters are equivalent to human Qi practitioners, but the specific strength depends on the individual situation. This time, as long as you can kill a third-level monster, you have passed the test.
The news caused an explosion among the entire outer disciples.
As we all know, third-level monsters are equivalent to the seventh to ninth levels of Qi-refining cultivators. However, because monsters are naturally physically strong and have amazing defenses, in a real fight, human cultivators are generally no match for monsters of the same level. If a Qi-refining cultivator
When a ninth-level cultivator encounters a third-level monster that is equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it is possible to kill it, but it is only possible. However, the entire outer disciples of Qingling Sect can reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.
There are not many people left. How many people can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining?
However, the notice only stated that a third-level monster should be killed. As for how to kill it, the notice did not explain. Maybe several disciples with good cultivation skills could work together to kill a monster, but the deadline issued by the sect was only
It's only one month. In such a short period of time, it is extremely unlikely to kill more than three monsters. Therefore, some disciples with good cultivation level are somewhat sure if they join forces, but most of the outer disciples
, I'm afraid there is only one result.
As for the last item, exploring the unknown areas in the Demon Burial Mountain, this is also a risk of life. The unknown usually indicates that it is uncontrollable. Between life and death, it all depends on luck. Maybe there are powerful monsters in those unknown areas. Once
Stepping into it is undoubtedly like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, with almost no possibility of survival; of course, if you are lucky, you may be able to find a cave where there are no monsters or beasts.
This method is a good opportunity for the outer sect disciples who are weak and have no strength themselves, and who are at the bottom of the sect. Cultivators are going against the will of heaven and may die anytime and anywhere.
, risking one's own life to fight for a future is not a difficult choice for some disciples.
Since receiving this notice, Kong Laosan's brows have hardly relaxed in the past two days. The three methods of passing the test are all too difficult, especially for a lonely person like Kong Laosan. Among the outer disciples, there are almost no
Familiar people, of course, even some familiar disciples, Kong Laosan’s cautious temperament would not form a team casually.
After much deliberation, Kong Laosan finally decided to find an opportunity to kill a third-level monster.
After all, whether you are picking elixirs or exploring demonic mountains, in addition to the high pressure of competition, you also have to go to unknown areas in the depths. Life and death all depend on luck. Kong Laosan doesn't like the feeling of leaving his life to God's will.
Although killing monsters seems equally dangerous, there are more controllable factors. If you have some powerful talisman spirit soldiers in your hands, or lay out some powerful formation traps, even if you only have the fifth level of Qi Refining, you can still do it with all your strength.
Under this circumstance, it is not impossible to kill a weaker third-level monster.
Thinking of this, Kong Laosan felt certain. There would no longer be all the chaos before. Now there are nearly three months left before the outer disciple examination. Kong Laosan sorted out his thoughts, pulled his waist, and found a bunch of miscellaneous things.
In addition, hundreds of spiritual stones the size of green dates fell on the table, and they were carefully counted.
Eight hundred spirit stones, two jade slips containing the Immortal Suspension Ghost Face, which recorded the Flame-making Technique and the Hidden Spirit Technique, ten bottles of collected demonic energy, a yellow-level mid-level wind escape talisman, and dozens of low-level talismans. Some unknown ancient orders.
Bottles and bottles of healing and detoxifying products, Qingling Sect's outer disciple's identity badge, Snake Academy's token, Uncle Yue's identity token, and a booklet recording five basic spells.
After thinking about it, Kong Laosan sorted and packed these things. Seeing that it was still early, he took care of everything in the snake yard, then left the yard and headed towards the wooden house where Fu Yinglong was.
