"Maybe other disciples misunderstood." Zhuang Bizhe thought.
Mu Xuefeng nodded slightly and asked, "Besides them, are there any other outstanding performers?"
"Others do not have immortal bodies and have just completed marrow cleansing. Some juniors with poor qualifications are still in the marrow cleansing stage. If they wait for foundation building, it will probably be three to five years later."
Zhuang Bizhe smiled and said: "However, there are two junior disciples here who have performed very well. They have already completed two levels of foundation building. Their understanding is quite amazing. If we work hard in the future, we may have a chance to attack the inner disciples."
"oh?"
Mu Xuefeng's eyes brightened slightly and she said: "In that case, call them both over and I will give them a fortune together."
"yes."
…
The news of Mu Xuefeng's release shocked many disciples. They learned that some of the new disciples with outstanding performance would receive awards from their master, which made others secretly jealous.
Su Ping, who was practicing hard in the mountains, had no idea about all this.
"Cultivating immortals is difficult every step of the way. I didn't expect that the gap would widen just after the marrow cleansing state. I really envy Senior Brother Tang and the others. They are born with immortal bodies that are different."
"Senior Brother Fang and the others are not immortal bodies and have already established foundations. It's just our lack of understanding."
"I just successfully cleansed my marrow. My strength is seven to eight times that of before. I can easily knock down a dozen strong warriors. I wanted to relax for two days, but I didn't expect that the others had already gone further."
There was a lot of discussion on the mountain.
After Mu Xuefeng helped several foundation-building disciples improve their foundations, she immediately went into seclusion to cultivate again. The time on the mountain passed quickly, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
A new disciple will face a test after one year of entry.
On this day, all new students were notified to gather at the entrance of the Reunion Hall.
"Is everyone here?"
Zhuang Bizhe stood at the entrance of the hall and looked at the many junior brothers and sisters in front of him.
"There are still two people who are not here. Junior Brother Zhou went to the back mountain to practice hard two days ago and was injured by a vicious python. He is recovering and cannot come over. Please let me tell the master and senior brother on his behalf." A young man came forward to pay respect. road.
Zhuang Bizhe frowned slightly and said, "Can you get out of bed?"
"This... can."
"Let him come if you can. Master can also help him treat him by the way." Zhuang Bizhe said.
The young man was stunned and said: "I know, I'll call him right away."
"Who else?" Zhuang Bizhe asked.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Tang Jingyu and several other immortals in front of them. There were only five of the six immortals at the moment, which was extremely conspicuous. Obviously, the other one who was missing was one of the immortals.
"It's the junior brother named Su Ping." A young man said, with some dissatisfaction in his words, and he was also one of the immortals.
"I heard that he went to the back mountain to practice hard. It seems that he has never been seen. Some people also said that they saw him by a forest pond with evil tigers and monsters around him. I don't know if it is true or not."
"Did you go too deep into the back mountain and fall?"
Other disciples also speculated. Those who had greeted and made good friends with Su Ping when they first entered the school couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, feeling that their previous investment was completely in vain.
"After all, he is also a person with an immortal body. Why don't he go to the cave to practice and go to practice hard?" Someone was curious.
Other Immortal Body practitioners are supported by other senior brothers and sisters, and they can go to the cave to practice every now and then. Therefore, they are making rapid progress. Only those with medium qualifications can only rely on themselves to go to the back mountains to practice hard, hunt monsters and earn money by the way. Spiritual stone.
"Did something really happen?" Zhuang Bizhe's hearing was sensitive and he frowned slightly when he heard everyone's whispers.
Mu Xuefeng had obviously heard these discussions. She frowned and said to Zhuang Bizhe, "Go to the back mountain and take a look. If you find him, bring him back."
"Okay." Zhuang Bizhe nodded.
He has reached the second level of practice and has opened up the inner world. This back mountain is like a garden to him, and he can explore it easily.
Whoosh!
Zhuang Bizhe directly tore through the void and entered the back mountain.
This elusive teleportation immediately shocked many disciples, with envy in their eyes.
In the back mountain.
In a cave, Su Ping was meditating.
There were a lot of treasures plundered from Ye Laomo's palace, including many pills that had self-extinguished their consciousness. Therefore, they did not transform and be taken away by the Hunyuan Golden Lotus, but became tools of death. The things left in the treasure palace also fell into Su Ping's hands smoothly.
Relying on these elixirs, Su Ping made rapid progress.
"Practice again to break through the bottleneck that has been broken before, but it didn't trigger the heavenly tribulation. Does it mean that I need to be promoted to the Star Lord realm to trigger it?" Su Ping was a little surprised, but he had suffered enough heavenly tribulations, not less than this time or twice. It doesn't matter.
At this moment, Su Ping suddenly sensed a figure entering the back mountain.
"Um?"
Su Ping sensed that the other person was from the same sect, judging from his robes, and he was probably the elder brother in the sect.
"Early stage of Star Lord Realm..."
Su Ping sensed the other party's state and immediately restrained his aura. He took out his watch, looked at the time, and found that it was exactly one year.
"one Year… "
Su Ping sighed and looked outside the cave. The spotted tiger was still lying there, guarding him. This seventh-level spotted tiger had now been promoted to the ninth level.
It only took two levels in one year. This rate of progress was somewhat alarming, and it had already reached the bottleneck limit of its bloodline.
Su Ping also had three wolf-dog-sized spotted tigers beside him. They were relatively strong, but still considered young among their kind, reaching the fifth level.
When Su Ping was practicing, they also received a lot of light.
"It's time to go back. By the way, ask Master, where can I find the origin of the fairy world..." Su Ping's eyes flashed, and he stood up immediately and came to the entrance of the cave.
He released a little breath, and soon, the young figure flew straight over.
"You are indeed here to find me."
While Su Pingping was waiting, Zhuang Bizhe's figure appeared in front of Su Ping.
Seeing Su Ping, Zhuang Bizhe was a little surprised. When he saw the spotted tiger outside the entrance of Su Ping's cave, he was shocked and immediately wanted to kill it.
"Senior brother, wait a minute." Su Ping saw the fluctuation of the other party's immortal power and said quickly.
Zhuang Bizhe: "?"
"Spare its life." Su Ping said.
Zhuang Bizhe was stunned. He was anxious to take action because he was worried that the monster would hurt Su Ping. Unexpectedly, Su Ping actually interceded for the monster in turn. Only then did he notice that the monster had no intention of harming Su Ping. Su Ping was surrounded by several tiger cubs, who looked quite affectionate towards Su Ping.
"Are you Junior Brother Su? What's going on?" Zhuang Bizhe couldn't help but ask.
"I can communicate with animals, and they won't hurt me." Su Ping said.
Zhuang Bizhe was stunned for a moment, and he said: "Junior Brother Su, you have been practicing in the back mountain for a year, and you have never gone back. I sent someone to see your accommodation, and it is all gathering dust." "There is no time in the mountains, practice Forgot." Su Ping said.
Zhuang Bizhe was a little speechless and said: "Master was still worried that something might happen to you, so he asked me to come find you. Since you are fine, then come back with me. The one-year period has expired, and it is time to test the success of your practice. If you perform well, Yes, Master will reward you."
"Yeah." Su Ping also thought about this, and that's probably why the other person came to him.
Zhuang Bizhe rolled up his sleeves, and a cloud of power enveloped Su Ping, and he quickly left.
Su Ping looked back and said goodbye to the tiger cubs outside the cave.
Soon, the two returned to the meeting hall, where they saw a humming sound. A high platform was erected on the ground, and disciples were competing on it.
Zhuang Bizhe and Su Ping walked out of the void and appeared in the audience as if teleporting. Su Ping had experienced this kind of thing a long time ago. He was not surprised and his face was calm. He cupped his hands to Mu Xuefeng above him and said: "Disciple pays homage to the master." Respect."
"As long as you're fine." Mu Xuefeng nodded gently, and when her eyes fell on Su Ping, she suddenly froze.
"Thank you for your concern, master," Su Ping said.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Su is so arrogant, he has to be invited by Senior Brother himself." Next to him, a young man snorted, quite dissatisfied.
Su Ping looked at him in surprise, "Junior brother, who are you?"
"Junior brother? I'm Ma Bai. We went back to the mountain gate with our master to become our disciples. Don't you remember me?" The young man was even more dissatisfied. Su Ping actually forgot about him. After all, he was also a fairy body person.
"It turns out it's Junior Brother Ma who was apprenticed to me together. I'm disrespectful." Su Ping said in a neutral tone.
Ma Bai saw Su Ping's perfunctory and was a little angry, but because Mu Xuefeng was beside him, he immediately held back and said: "I heard that Junior Brother Su has been practicing in seclusion in the back mountain. Now that a year has passed, he must have built a foundation. ?”
"Yeah." Su Ping nodded.
Ma Bai sneered in his heart, but did not show it on the surface. Instead, he asked curiously: "How many ways can I ask Junior Brother Su to build a foundation?"
"Do you take my last name? Why should I tell you?" Su Ping asked.
Ma Bai was startled and became furious: "What do you mean? You are simply disrespectful!"
"alright."
Zhuang Bizhe frowned and shouted when he saw the two of them arguing.
Ma Bai gritted his teeth slightly and glared at Su Ping angrily: "Waiting on the stage later, Junior Brother Su and I will go over this year's homework. How about it?"
Su Ping was a little speechless. This stupid young man appeared out of nowhere and kept provoking him. Did he really not know how to write the word "death"
"Is there something wrong with you?" Su Ping asked.
Ma Bai's face turned pale: "What did you say?"
"Is this sentence difficult to understand?"
"you!"
There were some black lines on Zhuang Bizhe's forehead, and he said angrily: "Shut up, everyone, you want to fight so much, go to the stage to fight later!"
Ma Bai glanced at Su Ping hatefully and said nothing.
Su Ping was too lazy to pay attention to this person anymore. He came to Mu Xuefeng and said, "Master, I have something to ask you."
"Oh?" Mu Xuefeng stared at Su Ping with interest: "Tell me about it."
"I wonder where I can understand the mystery of the origin of immortal power?" Su Ping looked directly at her.
Mu Xuefeng was startled and stared: "Understanding the origin of immortal power? This kind of mystery has transcended the level of immortal arts. If I have to describe it, it is just a matter of words. It is an established rule. This requires you to master at least the second chapter. , can we peel off the surface of things and see the mystery of the origin. As for peeking into the mystery of immortal power, we can only explore the twelve immortal rivers in the nine heavens."
As she spoke, she looked up to the sky.
It was daytime at the moment, but above our heads, three blazing suns hung high in the sky. The blue sky was endless, but traces of 12 snow-white rivers could be faintly seen, like 12 giant dragons coiling around the entire sky.
"There is a saying that goes well, the immortal power in the world comes from the immortal river. The 12 immortal rivers are the source of the entire world's immortal power. Some people want to explore, but unfortunately, there are many dangers outside the 12 immortal rivers, even in the capital of the Immortal Emperor. You can't step in." Mu Xuefeng said softly.
When other disciples heard her words, they couldn't help but look at the sky. They didn't expect that the 12 clouds and rivers that they had been tired of seeing in the past had such origins, mysterious and magnificent.
"Are you going to heaven..." Su Ping looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ha, so ambitious." Next to him, Ma Bai sneered.
"If you keep being weird with me, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" Su Ping looked at him with raised eyebrows and spoke very straightforwardly.
Ma Bai was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Su Ping to be so bold and dare to threaten his fellow senior in front of his master.
"Hit me? Come and try!" Ma Bai said angrily.
Snapped!
The moment he finished speaking, Su Ping's body suddenly moved, and he threw out a slap. There was a crisp slap in the face. Ma Bai's body flew out. Behind him was the martial arts competition stage. His body was slapped and fell to the ground. On stage.
The two first-level marrow-cleansing cultivators who were sparring on the stage were startled. When they saw that it was a person who fell in, they were stunned.
Zhuang Bizhe was also stunned. He was right next to him, and he was about to give the two junior brothers a warning. He didn't expect Su Ping to strike so quickly. Even he couldn't react, and Ma Bai was whipped away.
"Is this, Marble?"
"Immortal Body Master Ma Bai? Why did he run onto the stage? It's not his test now, right?"
"This is not like running onto the stage, but being beaten onto the stage."
Many people turned their attention to Su Ping. Many people saw that Su Ping moved his hands and looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, feeling a little confused.
The other party was also a person with an immortal body after all, but he was slapped away by Su Ping.
And in front of Master, this guy is too courageous!
If you are so unruly, aren't you afraid of Master's criticism
"what you do?"
Zhuang Bizhe reacted and looked at Su Ping in shock and anger.
"Satisfy him." Su Ping answered naturally.
Zhuang Bizhe couldn't help but suffocated, and for a moment he forgot what to say.
At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from high in the sky, and flying swords were seen galloping towards each other, with light flowing everywhere, like dozens of arrows raining down in graceful arcs.
"It's Wangyue Peak!"
Seeing these people revealed, some older disciples immediately recognized them, and their faces changed slightly, looking a little ugly.
"Why don't you say goodbye to Senior Mu at Wangyue Peak?"
A handsome young man in white clothes stepped out, carrying a fairy sword on his back. He looked as rich as jade and immediately attracted the attention of many female disciples present.
Mu Xuefeng frowned slightly and nodded calmly: "Are you here?"
"Last year, our Wangyue Peak accepted a group of disciples. This year's hard training has exhausted them all. Master asked me to take them out for a long experience and see what the disciples from other peaks are capable of, so that they can Knowing that there is a world outside the world, go back and practice hard." He Buyu said with a smile, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.
Mu Xuefeng said calmly: "Did you bring them to challenge?"
"I don't dare to challenge, I just want to ask for advice." He Bu said eloquently.
