There is no time for cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, the period of one year has passed.

At this time, Xiao Mian was already sixteen years old, and with the assistance of various elixirs, Xiao Mian had just opened the fourth meridian.

When he opened his eyes, Xiao Mian's heart moved.

Isn't that the fourth level of Qi cultivation already saying that you can already use magic weapons?

As soon as this thought appeared, it quickly occupied Xiao Mian's entire mind.

After taking out the storage bag, Qingfeng Sword, Five Elements Robe and the like, Xiao Mian took a deep breath, then picked up the storage bag that was almost covered with dust, and concentrated his mind to drive out a stream of true qi from the dantian, and transmitted it to his arm along a meridian he had just opened, and then slowly injected it into the storage bag.

Sure enough!

As soon as he saw that things were feasible, Xiao Mian put all the true qi in the dantian into operation in one go, and poured it into the storage bag endlessly, until less than half of the true qi in Xiao Mian's dantian was left, the storage bag no longer absorbed Xiao Mian's true qi, which also means that Xiao Mian has successfully cultivated this storage bag, and when he wants to use it in the future, as long as he moves his mind and communicates the true qi stored in the storage bag, he can use it freely.

Of course, this is also because the storage bag in Xiao Mian's hand is the lowest grade storage bag, so Xiao Mian can sacrifice it so easily, if he wants to sacrifice a higher-grade magic weapon or even a magic weapon, it is impossible to squeeze Xiao Mian into a human body.

Because of this, the internal space of Xiao Mian's storage bag is only three feet square.

But for Xiao Mian at this time, this is already an amazing space!

After flipping over the storage bag in his hand and admiring it for a moment, Xiao Mian's mind moved, and the Qingfeng Sword and the Five Elements Robe on the table disappeared, and his mind leaned into the storage bag, and sure enough, he saw these two things floating quietly.

The use of the storage bag requires the consumption of true qi, although it is not much, but the total amount of Xiao Mian's true qi is very small, and when he sacrifices the storage bag, he uses more than half of it, so he feels that his true qi is not enough.

After a while, Xiao Mian recovered the true qi in his body.

Sweeping his gaze over the dark and inconspicuous disc that had always been on the table, Xiao Mian's thoughts seemed to go back to four years ago.

On that day, in the Yuanxu Cave Mansion, the master gave this mixed yuan stone to himself, but it was not until today, four years later, that he had the opportunity to truly master it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian looked resolute, calmed down, held his breath and concentrated, and then his mind moved, and the true qi that had just recovered to his heyday poured into the mixed yuan stone in his hand as if he didn't want money.

One into true qi, two into true qi, and three into true qi......

Until more than half of the true qi in the body was consumed, the mixed yuan stone still had no reaction like a stubborn stone, Xiao Mian had already expected it, after all, the mixed yuan stone was a mid-level magic weapon, and the true qi required for the sacrifice was naturally more than the storage bag for the low-level magic weapon.

It's just that Xiao Mian obviously underestimated the grade of the Mixed Yuan Stone, and when his True Qi had consumed seventy percent, the Mixed Yuan Stone still had no response, which couldn't help but put Xiao Mian in a dilemma: if he continued to sacrifice, he didn't know if Xiao Mian would be able to start the Mixed Yuan Stone before his True Qi was exhausted, but if he stopped there, Xiao Mian was a little unwilling - that meant that Xiao Mian would not be able to successfully refine the Mixed Yuan Stone in the short term!

In a hurry, a bold idea popped up in Xiao Mian's mind, and as soon as it came out, it could no longer be suppressed—since it was impossible to complete the sacrifice because of the lack of true qi, could it be possible to replenish the true qi by meditating and recovering?

Xiao Mian is cautious by nature, young and old, but he also has his young and frivolous side, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

As soon as he thought of it, Xiao Mian maintained the continuous infusion of true qi into the Mixed Yuan Stone, and at the same time, he divided a part of his mind and began to operate his true qi according to the running route of the usual cultivation of the Taiqing Sutra.

It's just that this dual-purpose is easy to say, but it is difficult to really do it, and several times Xiao Mian not only almost ran around with the true qi in his body, but the mixed yuan stone in his hand almost fell to the ground.

After all, Xiao Mian was ignorant and fearless, and he did have some understanding, and finally found a balance for him after missing a few times.

After that, the true qi formed by Xiao Mian every week of operation was just equal to the true qi consumed by the Mixed Yuan Stone during this period of time.

Gradually, things and I forgot about them, and Xiao Mian entered a mysterious and mysterious situation.

I don't know how long it was, but there was no sound in the ashram.

Mixed Yuan Stone, carrying floating and sinking, hanging in front of Xiao Mian; Xiao Mian, sitting cross-legged and meditating, eyes closed, expression serene.

Suddenly, the whole Mixed Yuan Stone shook and fell from the air, Xiao Mian was also shocked, spread out his palm, and just caught the Mixed Yuan Stone.

The swarthy disc was as dark as ever, but as soon as the mixed yuan stone was in his hands, Xiao Mian had the illusion that it was connected to his flesh and blood.

Although the Mixed Yuan Stone was only a mid-level magic weapon, he was already very content.

After all, according to Xiao Mian's understanding, the inner disciples of the Five Elements Sect will not have any other magic weapons except for the swords, robes, bags, and pendants distributed by the sect—unless they are obtained by chance, or a personal disciple like Lu Chengfeng who has the blessing of Elder Yuanxu.

Xiao Mian thought so, and Lu Chengfeng had already come uninvited.

"Senior Brother Xiao is really diligent! It's not like Brother Yu didn't come to you before, but he was told that you were in retreat. It's a coincidence today! Come! Let the foolish brother see: Have you made great progress in your cultivation? Cultivating the fourth layer of qi? Not bad! Not bad!"

The corners of his mouth hooked, and Lu Chengfeng secretly slandered himself: What a waste of wood!

According to Lu Chengfeng's estimate, with the assistance of a large number of pills from Yuanxu Zhenren, a year later, Xiao Mian's cultivation should be around seven or eight layers in the Qi cultivation period.

After all, the Three Yang Impulse Qi Pill, the ** Luck Pill and the Nine Yin Molten Vein Pill are all extraordinary, but I don't want Xiao Mian to be just a fourth-level Qi cultivator.

"Senior Brother Lu, but you have something to look for me?"

"Senior brother may not know yet, right? In more than a month, my Yanzhu Peak will usher in a grand event-Ascending Dragon Flying Heaven!"

"Ascending Dragon Flying to the Sky, please also ask Senior Brother to solve your doubts!"

"Ascending the dragon and flying into the sky, which means ascending the dragon fight. To put it bluntly, it is to let the inner disciples compete with the outer disciples, and if the outer disciples win, they can take their place. Lu Chengfeng's eyes were locked on Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian didn't pay much attention to it at first, but soon, his face changed slightly, and he listened to Lu Chengfeng continue: "Most of the inner disciples have already built a foundation, and they will definitely not be afraid of those outer disciples, but you ...... junior brother."

"What does the senior brother mean: The junior brother also wants to participate in this dragon fighting?"

"It's not that you want to participate, but you can't avoid it! The Ascending Dragon Fight adopts a challenge system, and the outer monks will challenge the inner monks by name. Of course, the vast majority of high-level Qi cultivation cultivators in the outer sect will not be as knowledgeable as you in the fourth level of Qi cultivation, but it is not excluded that there are some filthy people who want to step on the head of their junior brother and squeeze into the inner door!"

"This ......"

"But don't worry, junior disciple: even if it's a challenge system, as long as the junior brother can survive the three challengers, the other outer disciples won't be able to challenge you anymore!"

"Three challengers?" Xiao Mian was overjoyed when he heard this, but he quickly collapsed his face: "With the cultivation of the fourth layer of junior brother's Qi cultivation, how can you ...... Alas!"

"Senior brother, don't worry, isn't this coming?"

Unfathomable, Lu Chengfeng took out a bottle of elixir, a stack of rune paper, and a piece of jade slip.

"The one in this bottle is called 'Violent Qi Pill', after taking it, it can double the true qi in the junior brother's body within a quarter of an hour, which is equivalent to the eighth-level cultivation of qi training! This stack of rune paper, although it is a low-level attack talisman, is enough for the junior brother to defeat the enemy! This piece of jade slip contains some brief sword methods for the junior disciple to figure out. These three things are what my grandfather told me to prepare for you. In the coming Sunrise Dragon Fight, the outer disciples who name and challenge the junior disciple will definitely be like a carp crossing the river, and I hope that the junior brother will do it himself!"

"Master and senior brother treat Xiao Mian so kindly, Xiao Mian has nothing to repay, he just wants to defeat the strong enemy in the dragon fight, so that the master can sit back and relax!"

Between his words, Xiao Mian held the porcelain vase tightly in one hand and the rune paper in the other, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the jade slip......

"Good!"

With a chuckle, Lu Chengfeng patted Xiao Mian's shoulder and walked away.

In a flash, January passed again.

Shenglong Dou arrived as scheduled.

On this day, the huge Yanzhu Peak was overcrowded.

It was only at this time that Xiao Mian knew that the number of disciples in the Five Elements Sect was huge, and of course, the vast majority of them were outer disciples.

Xiao Mian walked out of his small courtyard and walked towards the top of the mountain.

According to Lu Chengfeng's instructions in advance, Xiao Mian already knew the competition process of the Shenglong Dou well.

It was only a moment before Xiao Mian noticed that the monks on the mountain path who were also climbing were pointing at him and talking about it.

At first, Xiao Mian didn't care, but soon, his face changed slightly.

"That person is Xiao Mian?"

"Xiao Mian, is that the fat sheep?"

"I heard that he has only only cultivated the fourth level of Qi cultivation, if you can meet him in the Ascending Dragon Fight, won't you be able to catch him?"

"Save it! It's not that the sect hasn't held a dragon fighting before, but there are very few outer disciples who have signed up to participate, that's because none of the inner disciples are good at getting along, and if they are defeated, they don't have to try! Look at today's Yanzhu Peak! The crowd of people can be said to be all here for him!"

"That's right! Three times to challenge the opportunity, if you can meet him...... Hah!"

“......”

Xiao Mian's face became more and more ugly, and his head became lower and lower.

Is it a laughing stock yourself?

Are they all waiting to see their own jokes?

Damn it!

Inadvertently, Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and brushed the storage bag, thinking of the explosive pill and the stack of talismans treasured in the storage bag, especially the mixed yuan stone, Xiao Mian was bold.

Hum!

If you want to step on someone's head and climb up, don't blame me for biting back!

This way to the top of the mountain, Xiao Mian was familiar with it, but today, Xiao Mian walked extremely hard and difficult......

Finally, Xiao Mian finally came to the top of Yanzhu Peak.

Xu is because this place is already close to the Yuanxu Zhenren Cave Mansion, and the chatter of many outer disciples gradually disappears, but the gaze that looks at Xiao Mian still does not decrease.

At this time, Xiao Mian saw it openly.

Win the king and defeat the king, see the real chapter on the dragon fight!

At three o'clock in the morning, Yuan Xuzhen appeared at the door of the cave.

After some encouragement, Yuanxu Zhenren led everyone to a competition arena on the mountain behind Yanzhu Peak.

Obviously, this is where the Ascending Dragon Fight takes place.

Under the gaze of Yuanxu Zhenren, Xiao Mian followed Lu Chengfeng and boarded the competition platform, accompanied by more than a dozen monks of various colors. Obviously, these people are the inner monks who belong to Yanzhu Peak, Xiao Mian glanced around, but he only knew one Lu Chengfeng.

At the same time, those inner monks were also looking at Xiao Mian.

But soon, Xiao Mian didn't have the heart to look at others.

It was only because of the cadres that as soon as they took the stage, a large group of dense outer door monks swarmed in front of the competition platform near where Xiao Mian was standing.

Whoever does it is to challenge Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian's face became more and more ugly.

"Silence!"

With a shout, Yuanxu Zhenren stood in the air, overwhelming the audience.

"There are no rules, there is no square circle! What kind of system will it be to push and shove like you? This seat also knows your plans, doesn't it just want to pick a soft pinch?" When saying this, Yuan Xuzhen's eyes glanced at Xiao Mian, and then continued: "According to the regulations, an inner disciple can only accept three challenges, so many of you challenge at the same time, what's the matter? According to this seat, it is better to draw lots!"

As soon as Yuan Xuzhen's words came out, those outer disciples in the audience died down one after another.

It is an indisputable fact that there are more monks and less porridge.

Drawing lots is the fairest and most helpless measure.

Under the auspices of Yuan Xuzhen, the results of the draw were quickly announced.

The three outer monks who were fortunate enough to challenge Xiao Mian are:

First, Li Gu, the seventh layer of Qi training.

Second, Luo Yi, the eighth layer of Qi training.

Third, Shao Siyuan, ten layers of qi training.

The reason why there is a precedence is that Xiao Mian's cultivation is too low, and it is difficult for any of these three people to go up and defeat him. Therefore, Li Gu, who is ranked first, naturally has the greatest chance to become a new inner disciple.

For a time, Li Gu gathered a lot of sycophants around him......

Only Xiao Mian, from beginning to end, did not say a word.
