It only took two years after returning from Chaotic Demon Valley, Chen Biwang successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and advanced to the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall. Now five years have passed, and Chen Biwang's cultivation has already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
The level is much higher than Qingyang's cultivation level.
As for Qingyang's other friend Lu Dingshan, he received the three hundred spirit stones given by Chen Biwang. He has been cultivating over the years and has no shortage of elixirs. A large part of Qingyang's refined Qi Gathering Pills was sold to Lu Ding at a low price.
Mountain, so Lu Dingshan’s cultivation has not fallen too far behind Qingyang. Qingyang went to the outer courtyard to find him once a few months ago. At that time, his cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he has been doing it recently.
Preparations for a breakthrough, it is estimated that it won't be long before we see him in the inner courtyard.
Seeing Qingyang coming out, his aura seemed to be very different from before. Chen Biwang couldn't help but was stunned, and then said with a look of disbelief on his face: "Eighth level of Qi refining? Junior Brother Qingyang has made a breakthrough again? It has only been a few years.
Has your cultivation level caught up with mine?"
When they went to Yongzhou together nine years ago, Qingyang and Lu Dingshan were only at the third level of Qi Refining, while Chen Biwang was already at the fifth level of Qi Refining, two full levels behind him.
In nine years, Qingyang has caught up with him. It's really irritating.
Chen Biwang even secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he went to participate in the trial of Chaotic Demon Valley and broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining in Chaotic Demon Valley. Otherwise, wouldn't his cultivation level be completely left behind by Qingyang? Now his
He is already over fifty years old, and he is not particularly old among the many disciples in the inner courtyard. If he is lucky enough, there is still a chance to break through to the foundation building stage.
Qingyang smiled and said: "You just broke through. How can you compare with Senior Brother Chen? You broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining more than a year ago, and you are probably close to the ninth level of Qi Refining now, right?"
"It's still early for me to reach the ninth level of Qi refining." Chen Biwang said modestly. When Qingyang mentioned his cultivation level, Chen Biwang also looked smug. In any case, his cultivation level is still higher than Qingyang's.
Yes, he will definitely have a slight advantage in the inner court competition two years later.
Qingyang let Chen Biwang into the reception room, and after they both sat down, he asked: "What does Senior Brother Chen want from me?"
Chen Biwang said: "I just took over an inner courtyard mission in the service hall, and I'm going to leave soon. I wonder if Junior Brother Qingyang would like to go with me?"
Qingyang shook his head and said: "The inner court competition will be in two years. I plan to take advantage of this period to fully improve my cultivation. Even if my cultivation cannot reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in the end, one more point will give me more strength."
I’m not sure, so I have no plans to take on tasks from the inner court in the near future.”
After hearing Qingyang's words, Chen Biwang couldn't help but sigh: "Junior brother Qingyang is really working hard. He started thinking about the Foundation Establishment Pill so early. Senior brother, I feel ashamed. The competition in the inner courtyard competition is extremely fierce. Don't look at it.
I am now at the eighth level of Qi refining, and I am not sure at all about this competition. My goal is twelve years later. By then, my cultivation will definitely have reached Qi refining perfection, and I will be more confident about winning the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Some."
It's not that Chen Biwang has no confidence, but because the competition in the inner court is too difficult. With his current cultivation level, among the thousands of disciples in the inner court, he can only be ranked below the average level, and almost none of them have obtained the foundation building pill.
Possibility. Only by waiting until the next session, when your cultivation level reaches the perfection of Qi refining, and you have overcome those powerful disciples, can you have hope.
Of course, in terms of age, Chen Biwang will be in his sixties and close to seventy in another twelve years. That is almost his last chance, and he will be a benevolent person if he doesn't succeed.
Qingyang has also considered this issue, but twelve years is too long, and Qingyang cannot afford to wait. And no one can guarantee that he will be able to win the Foundation Establishment Pill in the next session. If there is another mistake,
Wouldn't it be necessary to wait another ten years? The advantage of my age will be lost little by little. Ten years after ten years, there are so many ten years, and time just flies by.
So no matter what, Qingyang decided to give it a try, even if it was unsuccessful, he would accumulate some experience for the next time and be more confident when encountering the inner sect competition in the future.
Qingyang didn't speak, but Chen Biwang could tell by looking at his expression. What was Qingyang thinking in his heart? Didn't he think the same way himself? It's just that the strength was there, and it was useless to think about it. After a moment of silence, Chen Biwang
He added: "Junior Brother Qingyang probably doesn't know yet, but Qingming Sanren, the head of the inner court, just issued an order some time ago. Anyone who has not done any inner court tasks in the three years before the competition is not allowed to participate in this inner court."
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have run out to do any tasks at this critical moment.”
Tasks are the main way for disciples in each academy to earn extra spiritual stones. Each academy will release a large number of tasks for the disciples in the academy to choose from based on their strength and ability. However, whether you do it or not is completely voluntary, and the sect will not make it mandatory, so
Not all disciples will accept the mission.
For example, people like Qingyang, who usually have no shortage of spirit stones, or people like Qin Ruyan and Ouyang Jing, who have strong family background support, there is no need to waste time for those spirit stones. Qingyang is promoted to the inner court.
It has been seven years and I have never taken over a task. I did not expect that this time the inner court would break this rule, which is surprising.
"Why is this?" Qingyang asked doubtfully.
Chen Biwang sighed and said: "Isn't it because of the recent unrest? Many strange and weird things suddenly appeared on our Jiuzhou Continent. The entire world of immortality seems to be in troubled times, and various things happen frequently. But the Inner Courtyard University
The competition is approaching, and many disciples have put their energy into preparations for the competition. Few people have accepted the tasks, which has caused a large backlog of tasks in the inner courtyard. The Qingming Sancai in charge had no choice but to issue this order."
The Inner Court Competition is about to begin, causing a backlog of tasks in the Inner Court. Qingyang can understand that this happens every time the Inner Court Competition approaches. The tasks of each courtyard are divided according to their strength, and the tasks of the Inner Court are generally only
It is suitable for the disciples of the inner courtyard to do it, because the disciples of the outer courtyard and the miscellaneous courtyard are too weak to handle it, and it is easy to cause a lot of damage. However, if the foundation-building monks do it, the reward is not only low, but also a bit overqualified. Without anyone to share, it will only cause tasks.
Backlog.
However, even if there was a backlog of tasks in the past, it was not mandatory for everyone to take them, because after the competition, the disciples would be free, and these tasks would gradually decrease. Qingyang has been practicing in seclusion these years, almost never leaving home, and rarely asking questions
As for things in the outside world, could it be that there are so many major events happening in the outside world that the Qingming Sanren have to force everyone to do tasks?
