At the fork in the road of life, the direction chosen determines the different things encountered, the road ahead is different, and the ending is different, but the same is wonderful.

Walking out of the office, Lin Qingyue and Ning Xiaoxue, who were not far away, walked up, although they did not speak, but their inquiring eyes were very clear. At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and after a day of competition, most of the students had basically dispersed, and most of those fifth-level students had gone home to discuss the final decision with their families.

Looking at the back of Ye Changtian and the three of them leaving, Dean Meng Yang was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he put away the empty wooden box.

"Ye boy, what is the dean looking for you?" Ning Xiaoxue was the first to break the silence, and Lin Qingyue also looked over.

"The dean wanted me to participate in this competition. Ye Changtian thought about it and thought that there was no need to hide it.

"What?" Not only Ning Xiaoxue, but even Lin Qingyue was surprised. Before the list of candidates was determined, the dean would take the initiative to find a fourth-level student to prepare for the competition. This is Ning Xiaoxue's doubt. Lin Qingyue, on the other hand, was more worried, after all, Ye Changtian's cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Period, and once he encountered danger, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.

"Then what are your plans?" Lin Qingyue said a little nervously.

Ye Changtian looked at Lin Qingyue with a gentle gaze, and did not answer directly, but walked to a piece of grass and said to Lin Qingyue and Ning Xiaoxue: "Do you remember that I said that there is a way to do Ning Xiaoxue's spiritual root?"

"Remember, what does this have to do with the competition?" Lin Qingyue asked first, Ning Xiaoxue looked at Ye Changtian with a nervous expression.

"There is a five-rank pill called the Candle Yin Nine Transformation Pill, and the main materials required are the third-order fire attribute demon core, the Nine Immortal Root, the Moon Spirit Grass, and the Seven-Colored Lotus. Ye Changtian carefully checked the Dan recipe of the Candle Yin Nine Transformation Pill from his mind, and the materials in it required a lot of materials, and these most critical main materials were also the most difficult to find and obtain.

"Candle Yin Nine Turning Pill!" Ning Xiaoxue rolled her eyebrows and clenched her little hands. Then he let go of his hand and said, "Then I have to get this seven-colored lotus!"

"It's not you, it's us. Lin Qingyue took Ning Xiaoxue's hand and said, "I'll help you." ”

After Ning Xiaoxue heard this, she nodded gratefully.

"It's not that simple. Ye Changtian looked at the two of them and continued: "This is a five-grade elixir, and it takes a fifth-grade alchemist or even a higher-level alchemist to have a high success rate. In other words, we don't have materials, and we don't have alchemists. Moreover, this elixir requires your cultivation to reach the ninth turn of foundation building, and you can take it when you break through the golden pill stage before you can reshape the spiritual root and transform it into a mutated spiritual root in the true sense!"

"Nine Turns of Foundation Building, Breakthrough Jindan?" Ning Xiaoxue's face was a little gloomy, now that she was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period, it was unimaginable that she wanted to reach the level of the Nine Turns of Foundation Building and even breaking through the Jindan realm within ten years! And only when you enter the foundation building period can you become a person who cultivates the truth in the true sense.

With such high requirements, even Lin Qingyue couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Is there no other way?" Lin Qingyue asked in a low voice, but it was also clear that having a method would already be the best result. Sure enough, Ye Changtian just shook his head, then looked at Ning Xiaoxue and Lin Qingyue, and said slowly: "The seven-colored lotus can be met but not sought, and I don't know when it will be next time." In this competition, we must get the seven-colored lotus. ”

"Whew. Ning Xiaoxue eased her mind, returned to a bland state like ice, and said, "There is hope, I will never give up." The foundation building period, the Jindan period, I must reach it!"

With Ning Xiaoxuedi's words, the chill around him suddenly appeared, and the grass under his feet instantly formed small ice crystals. Ye Changtian and Lin Qingyue glanced at each other, secretly surprised by the power of the ice element, Ye Changtian secretly speculated, perhaps, Ning Xiaoxue's ice system technique should not be a yellow rank exercise.

"Thank you, no matter what the outcome is, I recognize you as a friend. Ning Xiaoxue said indifferently, a smile blooming at the corner of her mouth.

"You're welcome, you're a good friend of Qingyue, Qingyue won't give up on you, if I don't help you, she will burn me with fire. Ye Changtian said wittily, which made Lin Qingyue's heart sweet, but her eyebrows trembled, and she couldn't wait to pinch him a few times to relieve her anger. The smile on Ning Xiaoxue's face became more and more obvious, and she grabbed Lin Qingyue's hand and didn't say anything to each other.

Not long after, Ning Xiaoxue remembered the alchemy materials told by Ye Changtian, so she said goodbye to the two of them, and returned to the family, preparing to let the family pay attention to the relevant medicinal materials, but did not say what they did. And Lin Qingyue and Ye Changtian came to Nanshan Cave again.

"Changtian, don't go to the competition this time, I will definitely help Xiaoxue get the best student. Lin Qingyue was a little uneasy, so she spoke.

"No, I need to go. I'm not at ease if you go alone. Ye Changtian cleaned up the cave, and the two sat down and said.

"But that's the periphery of Qin Mountain, there are many first-order and second-order demonic beasts, I'm worried about ......" Lin Qingyue wanted to say, but was interrupted by Ye Changtian waving his hand.

"Don't worry, what do you see this?" Ye Changtian took out a jade bottle from his arms, and in Lin Qingyue's puzzled gaze, he pulled out the jade bottle and poured out a round light yellow pill.

"What kind of elixir is this?" Lin Qingyue didn't know much about pills.

"This is the Zengyuan Pill, a pill. The dean asked me to participate in the competition to prepare for the improvement of my strength. Ye Changtian explained.

"Dean?" Lin Qingyue didn't know much about the actual situation, but she still nodded and didn't ask anything. As long as Ye Changtian's cultivation is improved, then his safety will be guaranteed.

"Then you take it now, and I'll give you the Dharma Protector. Lin Qingyue walked to the entrance of the cave and sat down, Ye Changtian nodded, first calmed down, meditated, then ran the exercises three times, and then subdued the Zengyuan Pill.

Zengyuan Dan, the user can increase the cultivation. This kind of one-grade elixir only has a significant effect on cultivators in the Qi refining period. With the entrance of the elixir, Ye Changtian felt a heat in his body, and a wave of medicinal power rushed into the meridians. As soon as Ye Changtian's mind moved, he ran the Taisu Immortal Recipe to refine the medicinal power brought by the pill.

With the passage of time, Ye Changtian's cultivation finally broke through to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period under the effect of the medicinal power!

Lin Qingyue watched the movement outside the mountain, and looked back at Ye Changtian who was meditating from time to time, she could clearly feel that Ye Changtian's cultivation was slowly improving, and Ye Changtian's face showed a trace of pain, this was the level where he was impacting the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period!

Night finally fell, in the silent mountain forest, in the somewhat dark cave, Ye Changtian continued to impact the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

Suddenly, the corners of Lin Weiyue's eyebrows moved slightly in the outer part of the cave, as if she had touched something. Looking back, in the dark cave, a round of firelight suddenly appeared, Ye Changtian smiled slightly, and looked at Lin Qingyue who was shining in the moonlight not far away.

"You broke through?" Lin Qingyue walked over and asked softly.

"Well, it's a bit of a fluke. But it still succeeded!" Ye Changtian said, feeling the fuller True Yuan in his body, and he was amazed in his heart! He didn't expect that it was just a pill, so he forcibly raised his cultivation to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period! What he didn't know was that the increase in the Zengyuan Pill could usually only be a cultivation that was upgraded by one layer, but the advantage of the Gongfa allowed him to completely refine the medicinal power, and this was the result.

"Let's go back. Ye Changtian took Lin Qingyue's little hand, walked out of the cave, and then sent him home, and then parted in Lin Qingyue's reluctant gaze.

On this night, some people were business as usual. For others, they are faced with an important choice.

Ye Changtian walks in the night, the moon is bright and dark, and the shadows of the trees are mottled, which has a cool taste. When he returned home, his father Ye Yiming and his mother were still waiting for him.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back. Ye Changtian spoke, looking at the somewhat old faces of his parents, they were only in their forties, but their long-term life as miners made them even more tired. When I was tired, the wrinkles crawled out and became vicissitudes.

"Okay, the kid is back. Mother looked at her with a loving face, and then brought out some food from the kitchen, and the food was still warm, and I thought it had been kept warm in the pot a long time ago.

Ye Changtian looked at his parents, not knowing why today was so unique, and the meal was particularly rich.

"The child is out, you eat more today. Ye Yiming said, and poured three glasses of wine. Ye Changtian looked at it with some puzzlement, he didn't know why his parents were so happy, he was still young, and he was never allowed to touch wine, but now he took the initiative to give himself a small glass.

"Mom and Dad, what's wrong today?" Ye Changtian asked.

"What's wrong? haha. Ye Yiming laughed heartily, raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine, and then said: "This afternoon, the teacher of the academy went to the mine and found me, saying that you have become a fifth-level student, let us move to the herb garden, and there is no need to go to the mine again." ”

"What?fifth-level student?afternoon?" Ye Changtian was a little surprised. He had just finished the competition in the afternoon, could it be that the academy had sent a teacher over? But at that time, he was only a fourth-level student? Could it be that all of this was in the dean's plan? He calculated that he would definitely participate in the competition and definitely take the Zengyuan Pill, so it was all arranged in advance?

"This old fox!" Ye Changtian slandered in his heart, but he was still grateful for the dean's behavior.

"yes, I didn't expect that. For this reason, the academy specially sent 200 medium-grade spirit stones, 1,000 low-grade spirit stones, and also sent some healing medicines, and gave us the sign of the herb garden to divide the house. The mother chattered, and took out the sign of the herb garden to show Ye Changtian.

The sign is engraved with the words "Herb Garden", and the small characters next to it say Linhe. Although this kind of brand is rare, Ye Changtian has also seen it, and Lin Qingyue's family has this brand.

"Isn't that very close to Uncle Lin?" Ye Changtian asked with a smile.

"Yes, I can have a drink with your Uncle Lin when I'm free. Ye Yiming said heartily.

"Tell me more. When your sister was admitted to Qinshan College three years ago, the college had already given us this brand, but we refused. Mother began to recount the past.

Ye Changtian knew these things. Although the work of the academy's herb garden is very easy, after all, he receives a salary from the academy, and he doesn't get much paid every month. Although the mine is hard and dangerous, it is highly rewarding. If it weren't for the fact that his parents saw that he had never been able to make progress, he was afraid that he would have no way out in the future and his life would be poor, so he insisted on going to the mine and wanted to save more spirit stones. Now, seeing that they have made progress, even if they are not good, with some cultivation and spells, they will not be hungry, so they completely let go of a heart disease and decided to go to the herb garden to cultivate.

"Also, this is your spirit stone bag. I put a hundred medium-grade spirit stones and a hundred high-grade low-grade spirit stones inside. You'll want to save some flowers. Mother put the spirit stone bag in Ye Changtian's hand, Ye Changtian smiled brightly, looking at his parents with a smile from his heart. At this time, it is the happiest and most stable moment.

It was night, Ye Yiming was drunk.
