Above the nine heavens, the scorching sun receded, the winds and clouds surged, the wind howled, thunder raged, and a heavy and violent momentum swept across the sky, exuding bursts of heart-stopping aura.
Suddenly, the sky stood still for an instant, and all the black clouds rolled back, forming a huge vortex in the sky. The vortex flowed slowly as if it were alive, revealing a huge black hole in the center.
From the other end of the black hole, only a pitch-black patch can be seen, but within it, there is great power that can destroy the world.
Boom!!
Just hearing the roar of thunder, an object slowly emerged from the whirlpool. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be a huge stone.
The stone is dark in color and exudes a primitive atmosphere, spinning constantly in the whirlpool.
Immediately afterwards, the jet-black boulder seemed to break free from the shackles of the whirlpool, completely emerging from the whirlpool and exposed outside the whirlpool.
With a whooshing sound, it fell from the sky and flew towards a remote corner of Zhenwu Continent.
The strange phenomena in the sky gradually dissipated and calm returned, as if everything that had happened before had never happened and was just an illusion.
Wuyan Mountain is the tallest mountain range in Langzhou. It is full of greenery all year round and is exceptionally beautiful.
The Wuyan Immortal Sect is located here, and Wuyan Mountain is named after it.
At this moment, the Wuyan Immortal Sect's main hall was bustling with excitement, with thousands of disciples of all sizes gathered in the sect. The reason was that a meteorite fell last night and shattered in the process, turning into thousands of fragmented meteorites that fell on Nuo.
In the big smokeless mountains.
"quiet!"
Above the main hall, an old man in green shirt waved his hand, and thousands of people in the audience fell silent for an instant. The old man was very satisfied with the performance of the disciples in the audience, nodded and continued: "Last night, a meteorite flew from the sky and turned into thousands of
The rubble fell on my Wuyan Mountain, and it is also because of this that I summoned all the disciples today."
As the old man spoke, he turned his hand, and a jet black stone appeared instantly. The surface of the stone was full of pits and pits, and it looked really ugly.
"After research by the sect, it was found that this stone is a rare metal. As for its function, you don't need to know. Okay, this is today's task. All disciples will go to Wuyan Mountain to search for meteorite iron, and hand it in after finding it.
The sect, the sect will reward you based on the number of meteorites from the sky."
"Every kilogram of meteorite iron can be exchanged for ten sect points."
"If the amount reaches one hundred kilograms, you can choose a mortal level skill from the Wuyan Sect's 'Martial Pavilion'."
"If the amount reaches a thousand catties, you can get a 'Spirit Fusion Pill' and a three-star ordinary spiritual weapon."
"What! The reward is so generous?!"
"Spirit Fusion Pill? That is the magic medicine that can break through the acquired realm and reach the innate realm. I must get it."
"There are also exercises and spiritual weapons. I feel like my little heart can't bear it! What I practice now is the introductory exercise of the Wuyan Immortal Sect, 'Qingling Jue'."
As soon as the green-shirted old man finished speaking, everyone in the audience was in an uproar, and the originally silent hall was filled with all kinds of exclamations.
"Spirit-melting pills, exercises, spiritual weapons, haha, Xiaoxingzi, brother, I feel like my spring is coming."
In a corner above the main hall, a fat young man had a look of obsession on his face and said to Zhou Xing next to him.
The obese young man's name is Li Fugui, and he is Zhou Xing's only friend in the Wuyan Immortal Sect. It is said that his family is a wealthy businessman, and he has lived well since he was a child. It is no wonder that he is so fat.
Seeing the proud look on his face, Zhou Xing smiled slightly and couldn't help but said: "A meteorite only costs about ten thousand days at most. We have thousands of disciples. It would be great if you can get a few kilograms in exchange for some points. As for the skills,
, pills, spiritual weapons and the like, you’d better not think about it.”
Seeing Zhou Xing hitting him mercilessly, Li Fugui showed a look of dissatisfaction and said: "Young men, we are all buddies, do you need to hit me like this? I'm just having fun.
"
Zhou Xing smiled, waved his hand and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey and a fruitful return."
"What? Aren't you going?"
Seeing Zhou Xing acting like it had nothing to do with him, Li Fugui couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"Yes," Zhou Xing nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Thousands of people are looking for tens of thousands of kilograms of meteorites, and there are too many monks and too few people. Fights are inevitable. In order to collect enough money and redeem rewards, plundering is inevitable. In my case, you
I also know that even if I find it, I can’t keep it.”
"Can……"
Thinking of Zhou Xing's situation, Li Fugui's face also darkened. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Xing's wave. He smiled again and comforted: "It's okay. You go alone. Be careful. Your cultivation level
It’s not high. If you find it, hide it and come back when it’s over.”
"Um."
Li Fugui glanced at Zhou Xing and nodded fiercely.
On stage.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, the old man in green shirt continued with a serious tone: "It is true that the rewards for this mission are generous, but if anyone is found to be hiding something, no matter how serious it is, he will have his cultivation revoked and be expelled from the Wuyan Immortal Sect!"
"Okay, starting from today, in three days, all the disciples will gather here and hand in the meteorite."
"Okay, let's all disperse!"
Finally, the old man in green shirt waved his sleeves, turned around and walked into the hall, out of sight of everyone.
"We must hurry up, otherwise all the meteorite iron will be picked up in a while, and there will be no place to cry!"
"That's right!"
"Senior Brother Li, why don't we go together this time and get a 50-50 share!"
As soon as the old man in green shirt left, everyone in the audience immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, either walking in groups or alone.
Li Fugui couldn't sit still anymore, with a worried look on his face. Zhou Xing looked at him and said funny: "If you want to go, go as soon as possible. You won't get anything late if you go there, but remember that I'm with you."
As I said, don’t come back until the end of the day.”
"learn."
Li Fugui nodded, spread his legs, rushed into the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xing smiled and slowly returned to the place where he lived, a dilapidated wooden house.
"It has been almost three years since I came to the Smokeless Immortal Sect, and I still can't sense the aura of heaven and earth. If it remains the same before the Outer Sect Competition next month, I will be expelled from the Smokeless Immortal Sect."
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder how she is doing in the Sword Sect? How is she doing?"
Zhou Xing murmured, with a smile on his lips, "Her talent is so good, she should be an inner disciple of the Sword Sect..."
The woman in Zhou Xing's mouth is Zhou Xing's fiancée Liu Yanran, a beautiful woman who has conquered the entire country and grew up with Zhou Xing's childhood sweetheart.
Putting away his thoughts, Zhou Xing came to the backyard.
There is a tree stump under a tree in the backyard, which Zhou Xing specially set up as a place for practice.
But at this time, the tree stump was shattered into pieces on the ground, as if it had been smashed by something.
Zhou Xing opened the wooden block, and sure enough, under the wooden block, a pitch-black stone three-thirds of the way into the soil came into view.
This is...an extraterrestrial meteorite?!
After comparing this jet black stone with the stone that the old man in green shirt took out before, he found that there was no difference. Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "Is this a gift from God who took pity on me..."
After taking the stone completely out of the soil, Zhou Xing discovered something different. There was a purple stone bead wrapped in the middle of this pitch black stone. Although only the edge was exposed, Zhou Xing could still
Guess its shape.
Inside the purple stone beads, dark light flows, rendering the purple color even more rich.
"What is this?"
Zhou Xing held it in his hand and looked around, but he couldn't figure out why. After all, his cultivation limited his cognition.
Since the stone beads are wrapped in meteorite, they must be more precious. When that fat man Li Fugui comes back, ask them if they have seen anything like stone beads.
Right now, the most urgent task is to remove the stone beads from the meteorite.
After making up his mind, Zhou Xing opened a long sword from the back room. Although he could not sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could not become a monk, he had practiced a lot of swordsmanship, boxing, and kicking to exercise his body.
Of course, these are some ordinary boxing and kicking skills in the mortal world, and the skills of the Wuyan Immortal Sect. He is not qualified to get them. Even if he gets them, he is destined to be unable to practice them and will have no chance of them.
This long sword was chosen by the outer disciples when he first came to the Wuyan Immortal Sect. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is still very sharp.
Relying on this sword and the 'Wind and Thunder Sword Technique', Zhou Xing defeated the disciples who came to the Wuyan Immortal Sect with him many times, but later they succeeded in sensing the aura of heaven and earth, and now the worst ones are all in the fifth level of the acquired world.
No matter how powerful Zhou Xing is, he is no longer his opponent.
As soon as he got the sword, Zhou Xing suddenly seemed to be a different person, exuding a fierce sword intent, as if he was the sharp sword with unstoppable hope and unyielding determination.
This is an effect that can only occur when you practice swordsmanship to a very deep level. Due to the depth of the level, people will divide their understanding of swordsmanship and martial arts into five levels: out of the dust, into the subtleties, small success, great success, and perfection.
Zhou Xing's understanding of the 'Wind and Thunder Sword Technique' now lies in the early stage of Dacheng.
When it comes to cultivation, Zhou Xing is indeed a loser, but when it comes to understanding, Zhou Xing is confident that in this Wuyan Immortal Sect, his understanding can at least be ranked among the top five.
Among them are those true disciples who are practicing latent cultivation.
After placing the jet black stone, Zhou Xing raised the iron sword. There was no skill, but the simplest basic sword technique was 'cleave'.
"drink!"
The iron sword fell through the air and struck hard on the meteorite. However, there was only a "dang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the iron sword broke and broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
And that piece of meteorite iron did have a faint white mark.
No wonder the Wuyan Immortal Sect conducted a vigorous search. Not only were the rewards generous, but the punishments were also terrifying. The effect of this meteorite was definitely extraordinary.
Zhou Xing thought for a while, he really couldn't take out the purple stone bead. Then he thought about it and put away the meteorite first. If there is still no way after three days, then hand it over to the sect. It's better to exchange some points for it.
Hold it to see if you are strong, and the punishment from the sect is no joke.
Although he is about to be expelled, which is no different from punishment, but in front of those elders who have cultivated to the sky, he really may not be able to lead the Wuyan Immortal Sect.
At night, there are stars and the bright moon hangs high.
Inside the cabin.
Zhou Xing sat cross-legged on the bed, his brows furrowed and a helpless look on his face.
"Still can't sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."
Zhou Xing was not disappointed, just helpless, because this was not the first time. In the three years since he started, he had tried thousands of times to sense the aura of heaven and earth, but the result was the same, nothing.
"I wonder what's wrong with your body?"
week
Zhou Xing himself didn't know exactly what went wrong.
"If we could get a marrow-cleansing pill, the problem might be solved..."
Zhou Xing murmured to himself, but when he thought about the sky-high price points for redeeming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill can cut hair and cleanse the marrow, improve the meridians of the human body, and improve one's qualifications in disguise.
In the Wuyan Immortal Sect, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is regarded as a magic medicine by many people, but the points are there, except for some true disciples, only some wealthy inner disciples can afford it.
For a poor outer disciple like Zhou Xing, the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill' was nothing more than a fantasy.
Feeling bored, Zhou Xing took out the meteorite from the bedside.
"What the hell are you?"
Zhou Xing looked at the purple stone bead and couldn't help but sigh.
Although he didn't know what this purple stone bead was, Zhou Xing had a vague feeling that this purple stone bead was definitely not simple, otherwise it wouldn't be wrapped by a large piece of meteorite.
Put down the meteorite from outside the sky and Zhou Xing lay down to rest.
A night of silence.
The next day.
"Ha! Drink!"
In the courtyard, a young man in white clothes was standing on a horse, practicing his boxing skills, and punching out with great momentum.
The fists and shadows intertwined, and bursts of roaring sounds were heard, causing the air to vibrate.
The boxing technique practiced by Zhou Xing is called "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist". It was collected by the Wuyan Immortal Sect in the mortal world. Regular practice can strengthen the body.
Although Zhou Xing is unable to practice now, his years of physical training have laid a solid foundation for him.
After a full set of five punches, Zhou Xing stopped, with layers of sweat appearing on his forehead.
After resting for a while, Zhou Xing got up again and started practicing, but this time it was not the "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist", but a set of sword techniques, which was the "Wind and Thunder Sword Technique".
The iron sword was destroyed when a meteorite struck the sky, so Zhou Xing replaced it with a branch.
Although it is a branch, in Zhou Xing's hands, it is no less than a sword. It falls together with sharp edges, clean and neat, and no sloppiness.
"Wind and Thunder Sword Technique" emphasizes "quickness, accuracy, and ruthlessness". Killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace behind, every move reveals ruthlessness and sharpness, and every move presses the target's vital points.
Zhou Xing has been practicing for a long time, and naturally he has this kind of ruthlessness and fierceness in him, but he usually looks very gentle, so he hides this aura.
After passing the sword several times, Zhou Xing stopped.
After putting on clean clothes, he walked towards the Wuyan Xianzong Medicine Garden.
Because he couldn't practice, Zhou Xing was assigned here to take care of the medicinal herbs.
Over time, Zhou Xing gained a lot of knowledge about some of the herbs in the medicine garden, which can be considered a reward for his hard work.
When we came to the medicine garden, it was very clean. This was also because of the meteorite incident. Most people went to look for the meteorite. Only a few disciples with the lowest cultivation level knew that they would not be able to grab it if they went there, so they did not go.
