After the alchemy duel, Aoki was dismissed from his position as deputy hall leader, and the disciple who carried the materials was directly expelled from the Yuehua Sect. This punishment was not unbearable.
Ling Xiao was too lazy to care about these matters. He just wanted a quieter cultivation environment. Since the Medicine Hall had already handled the matter fairly, he would not pursue it further.
However, because of this incident, Aoki had extremely vicious thoughts in his heart.
There was nothing he could do about Yang Danlin.
There was nothing I could do about Lan Yuer.
There is nothing that can be done to Ling Xiao either.
But dealing with Dai Yuling is no longer a problem.
He didn't know where he heard that Ling Xiao and Dai Yuling were "sisters and sisters", so he did not hesitate to lure them with spiritual pills, making Jin Ming ranked third in the outer sect, Tuoba Shan in fifth, and Gong Yangnu in sixth.
They all agreed to him and secretly set things off for Dai Yuling.
It's hard for him to take action himself, because after this incident, he has been closely watched.
But Jin Ming, Tuoba Shan and Gong Yangnu had a lot of time. In order to break through to the extraordinary realm, these three half-step masters didn't care whether this approach was appropriate or not.
Anyway, it's just a little girl to deal with, it's no big deal.
Ling Xiao didn't know Qingmu's plan. After the alchemy duel, he was rewarded. He could take away all the twenty high-grade true essence pills he refined.
Although he refined it, the materials are from the sect and are very expensive. At least it is really difficult for him to get them together now.
So this can be considered a generous gift.
In order to celebrate the victory, Yang Danlin gave Ling Xiao a special three-day holiday. Of course, even though it was said to be a holiday, he actually gave him books on basic pharmacology and alchemy for him to read in his free time.
Ling Xiao returned to his cave and put the book aside.
He obtained these twenty top-grade True Yuan Pills, which are equivalent to the top-grade True Yuan Pills of the qualified level. With these pills, it should be easy to achieve another breakthrough in cultivation.
He took ten high-grade True Essence Pills in one go.
The training time this time was a bit long.
It lasted for seven full days.
Ling Xiao's cultivation has been directly promoted to the ninth level of martial arts peak. The next step is to accumulate strength and prepare to break through to the extraordinary realm.
However, it is not so easy to cross between the ninth level of martial arts peak and the transcendent realm.
When your strength is accumulated to a certain level, you can become a half-step master.
If the ninth level of martial arts peak to the extraordinary realm is divided into ten stages, then a half-step master is equivalent to having accumulated more than 90% of this power.
And Ling Xiao is still less than 10%.
Although Yang Danlin only granted him three days' leave, this retreat practice is also a very helpless thing and cannot be interrupted midway. I believe Old Hall Master Yang can also understand.
During the few days he spent in seclusion, the other disciples in the sect also had their own experiences.
After all, including these seven days, it has been nearly a month since he joined the Yuehua Sect.
In such a long time, many things will actually change.
Because Zhao Zhi was the one with the highest cultivation level from the beginning, he has now been promoted to the half-step master level.
Xu Ying is a little inferior. She is at the peak of the ninth level of martial arts, and her strength has been accumulated to about 60 to 70%.
These two people have the highest talent and the fastest progress.
Zhao Ci is slightly inferior, currently only at the middle stage of the ninth level of martial arts.
However, Dai Yuling has a special situation. Although her talent is not as good as Zhao Ci, her cultivation method is special and she is already at the middle stage of the ninth level of martial arts.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed would be absolutely unimaginable in the secular world.
However, within the sect, this is really nothing. After all, within the sect, reaching the ninth level of martial arts is just the beginning.
Xu Ying has now become a disciple of Demon Flame Tianzun. It is said that Ming Tian is the one who leads her. They are like-minded and both regard Ling Xiao as a thorn in their side.
Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci also became disciples of an elder who came from the royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, but they were still considered outer disciples, similar to Ling Xiao's situation.
Their cultivation speed is not slow, but Ling Xiao's cultivation speed is even more terrifying, but up to now, Ling Xiao still uses the eighth level peak martial art template.
He did this just because he didn't want to attract the attention of Demon Flame Tianzun. Anyway, in the outer sect, his cultivation level was almost enough. Unless he faced the top three disciples, he didn't need to use the strength of the ninth level of martial arts.
During this period of time, he did not deliberately practice the "Dragon Golden Body". Anyway, the extraordinary body shaping pill he took last time was still slowly being absorbed. Even if he did not deliberately practice it, his physical fitness was constantly changing.
When it reaches a certain level, he will naturally try to break through.
All of this is in his calculations, and he won't waste any time. After all, his time is very precious.
I wonder how Leng Mei and Wu Xiang are doing.
Ling Xiao thought of his two friends and felt a little sad. Now he could only wish these two people to be safe and sound.
Within the sect, the competition is fiercer than in the secular world.
Even an outer sect disciple like Wu Xiang, who is ranked last, would definitely be a dominating master in the secular world.
But here, it's just the last.
This is only the case for the outer door.
It is estimated that among the inner sect, there are more geniuses and more strong men.
This can be seen from Lan Yu'er. This Lan Yu'er is only two years older than him, but her cultivation is at the ninth level of the extraordinary. This is simply unimaginable in the secular world.
Ming Tian, Xu Ying, and Leng Hao have now entered the inner sect. They can practice the martial arts skills of the inner sect disciples and receive guidance from stronger warriors.
This is definitely a huge advantage.
He, Zhao Zhi, Zhao Ci, and Dai Yuling were also relatively lucky. Although they were still outside, they had received some benefits.
But this is not enough at all. As an outer disciple, even if you become the disciple of an elder, as long as the elder does not agree for you to enter the inner sect, you are still just an outer disciple and cannot practice the inner sect's techniques.
The reason why Ling Xiao has always insisted on improving his cultivation is that it makes sense to regard the improvement of his cultivation as his top priority.
If you are one step behind, you will be separated by a big distance.
Therefore, you must not only lay a good foundation, but also try to catch up with or even surpass your competitors in terms of cultivation. Otherwise, you will not be able to survive at all, let alone become a strong person.
Others may find this contradictory.
But Ling Xiao is in a special situation. His cultivation level has broken through very quickly, but his foundation has already been extremely solid.
His true energy, physical quality, and soul strength have long been comparable to those of extraordinary warriors.
Therefore, he doesn't have to worry about the negative effects caused by breaking through too quickly, because this effect does not exist for him.
After coming out of seclusion, Ling Xiao found Yang Danlin.
"You kid, I gave you three days off, but you actually stayed in seclusion for seven days, and your cultivation level hasn't broken through yet. I really don't know what you are doing."
Old Hall Master Yang smiled bitterly and patted Ling Xiao's head gently.
