Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Tang Zheng devoted himself to cultivation, but his entry into the realm was extremely slow.

Since the cultivator entered the Nine Turns, every step he took was extremely difficult. If you have to make a division, it can be roughly understood in this way.

Before the denaturalization, no matter how you refined, the difference was only in the speed; when you enter the hundred refining, you may not be able to come down without ten years, but at least you can speed it up with guò medicine; when you reach the ninth turn, medicine alone is no longer enough, even a genius who happens once in a thousand years will take at least a few years to succeed. Those who are not qualified enough will not succeed for decades. But as long as you are willing to take the time, these nine turns can actually be passed.

When you open your mind, it's different again, and from this step on, there is a possibility of failure in your cultivation. Although the probability of failure of enlightenment is not too great, at least two adults fail every year to hit enlightenment. There are three more tribulations after enlightenment, and the failure rate of this step has increased to 40%. After two rounds of elimination, half of those who were able to reach the top were actually left. After this level, it is to impact the heart of heaven, and the failure rate of the heart of heaven is sixty percent, so those who can enter the heart of heaven are usually only the original three adults.

But this is only a theory, and in fact it is unattainable.

Because before the impact of the Heavenly Heart, there is still a chance to come back if you fail, but the chance of success is lower, and from the beginning of the Heavenly Heart, there is a danger of life, especially the two levels of the Heart Demon and the Purple Mansion, which are full of risks, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death, because of this, not everyone dares to impact the Heavenly Heart Realm, and many cultivators often stop at the peak of the world.

This is why there are tens of thousands of immortals, but there are only hundreds of heavenly hearts.

Those who dare to pursue the immortal path with their lives are ultimately limited, and the number of real people who fall every year due to the impact of the major factions on a higher realm is never small.

The Moon Washing Sect is pure, there are more ways to resist the heart demons, and the danger of passing the heart demon period is less than that of other sects, so there are a large number of middle-level Heavenly Hearts, which has also laid enough foundation for the later True Monarchs, but even so, the Moon Washing Sect has only four True Monarchs so far, and the number is the same as that of the Heavenly God Palace, and even the night sky is still in the process of impacting the True Monarch, and it has not yet been completed, and I don't know what the consequences will be.

The immortal road is so difficult that even Tang Zheng can't help but secretly say, don't think that with the secret realm, you will definitely be able to make the immortal road unimpeded, and it is just the beginning.

After cultivating for a while today, I suddenly heard someone exchange outside the cave: "Senior Brother Tang Zheng is here?"

When I came out of the cave, I saw a young man standing outside the cave. Tang Zheng recognized this person's name Wang Yong, who had been in the school for fifteen years, and had four transformations of cultivation, because he lived nearby, and Tang Zheng had a visit when he came, so he knew each other.

Seeing that it was Wang Yong at this moment, Tang Zheng opened the magic circle to welcome him in: "Why do you have time to come to me today?"

Wang Yong said with a smile: "The master of the hall opened the altar to give a lecture today, so I specially invite you to listen." ”

"Chang Tang Lord's lecture?" Tang Zheng paused, and then understood that he was referring to Chang Tianshui, the first deputy hall master.

Lectures are common in the Moon Washing School, and if the disciples have any problems after graduating from the academy and have no master to guide them, they can only listen to the lectures to answer their questions. Listening is not for nothing, but requires contribution.

Lecturers must be recognized by the guò training hall to be qualified to give lectures, and generally speaking, at least the governor must do so, otherwise everyone can go up and give lectures, and things will be messed up.

This is also a way for high-level cultivators to get contributions, usually each person only needs to receive ten points of contribution in a class, and a hundred people can get a thousand points of contribution, except for the part to be handed over to the Moon Washing Sect and the Training Hall, they can get forty percent, that is, four hundred points of contribution, which is much more convenient than going out to perform tasks, and the key is also decent.

Of course, you can also collect more expensive, but if you collect more expensive, there may be fewer disciples who come to listen, and the income will decrease. Therefore, it is up to each individual to weigh each other. The current price is ten points of contribution, such as nineteen Tiankui is not easy to say, twenty or even one hundred points are not equal, the problem is that there is no market, Tiankui is light yì will not open the altar to give lectures.

Chang Tianshui is the first deputy hall master of the secret hall, considering that Xu Baibing almost doesn't ask about anything, he is also the real person in charge of the secret hall. This person has to give a lecture once a year, on the one hand, to teach the disciples, and on the other hand, to give everyone a chance to know themselves, as for contribution, he doesn't care much about it.

Because of this, it is a more important thing for him to give a lecture at the altar, of course, Tang Zheng can not go, but with Tang Zheng's temperament, it is almost impossible.

Therefore, hearing Wang Yong say this at this moment, Tang Zai hurriedly thanked: "Thank you senior brother for reminding me, I'll go over now." ”

After changing his clothes at the moment, Tang Zheng followed Wang Yong and left Xianquan Peak and headed towards Tianji Peak.

When I arrived at the Tianji Palace, I saw that there were only dozens of people in the square in front of the Tianji Palace, and there was a case near the gate of the palace, which was the place to give lectures.

He was surprised in his heart and asked Wang Yong: "Why is this such a person?"

Wang Yong replied: "Because of teaching newcomers, the master of the hall generally only talks about nine turns. ”

"I see. Tang Zheng understood.

Since it is limited to content, it naturally invisibly limits the audience, and there are always some people who do not get the news in time, so the future is normal. However, from this point of view, this Chang Hall Master should not be the kind of person with a particularly big shelf, otherwise he will be good at the top, and he will be very bad at the bottom, and it is completely possible for his old man to alarm more than 3,000 people in the secret hall with a single lecture.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Zheng already had a good impression of this Chang Hall Master.

and Wang Yong found a place to sit down, and his own rotating disciples came over to deduct ten points of contribution from the two of them, and when the lecture time came, one person walked out of the hall. He had a long green face, a surprisingly tall figure, and a long quaint crown on his head, which made him look a little taller.

This person is Chang Tianshui.

Because he had the intention to remember this person's image, Tang Zheng couldn't help but look at it a few more times, Chang Tianshui actually realized it, turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, his eyes were cold, Tang Zheng only felt that his whole person was like being in an ice cave. No, the real ice cave would no longer make Tang Zheng feel cold, but Chang Tianshui's glance made all his resistance disappear, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble, but in an instant, patches of frost appeared between his eyebrows.

Fortunately, Chang Tianshui seemed to notice something, and suddenly smiled, this smile hit like a spring breeze, and the frost disintegrated, Tang Zheng got rid of the endless deep cold, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Even in He Chong and Xie Fengtang's body, he had never felt such a strong thought, and he could only say that this person's strength was even stronger than the two of them.

As for Feng Hongluan in the bright night sky, they have long cultivated to the point where their essence is restrained and returns to their roots, and it is normal that there will be no such situation.

At this moment, Chang Tianshui sat down in front of the desk and said loudly: "Ordinary people say that cultivation starts from the spiritual platform. For me, practice begins with the nine turns. The path of the nine turns, just like a plant rooted in the soil, is the fundamental way, so it is the most important thing, and we should choose carefully......"

This person doesn't talk nonsense, he comes up to give a lecture, and talks about all kinds of things about the nine transformations one by one.

If you talk about the level of lectures, this person is actually not as good as the lecturer of the moon, and he doesn't understand the truth in simple terms, but this person is the peak of Tianxin, and the knowledge he has is much stronger than that of ordinary lecturers. In particular, some problems may not be there now, but they will have an impact on the future, and those lecturers may not know about it, but Chang Tianshui is clear.

The so-called road can't get narrower and narrower, so you need to start from these small details and remove all hidden dangers as much as possible.

At this moment, Tang Zheng listened while corresponding to what Xie Fengtang had taught him, some things Xie Fengtang had said, and some things he had omitted, or he didn't know, under the correspondence between the two, Tang Zheng became more and more aware of what was important and what was not important.

Chang Tianshui lectured in this class for an hour and a half, and Tang Zheng only felt that he had benefited a lot. Originally, he had the idea of spending ten contribution points to get to know his boss, but now he felt that these ten contributions were really cheap, and if those casual cultivators could take this lesson, they didn't know how much they could improve.

At this moment, Chang Tianshui gave everyone a chance to ask questions after speaking, and only after answering all the questions did he get up and leave.

Seeing Chang Tianshui leaving, Wang Yong smiled and asked Tang Zheng, "How is it?"

Tang Zheng said from the bottom of his heart: "It's wonderful. When I was at the Moon Washing Academy, I was also instructed by a real person, and I thought it was enough. Today, I realized that each has different cultivations and different understandings. If you want to make progress, you should learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools. From this day forward, if there is a lesson for real people, I will come and listen. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng paused, and suddenly bowed to Wang Yong and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for mentioning it!"

Wang Yong laughed and said: "Don't think about it so simply, you should be the master of the hall? Not everyone will be so generous and teach without reservation." ”

said that Wang Yong had sued Tang Zheng, and it turned out that this listener also had his own knowledge. The Moon Washing Sect is a brilliant faction, and there are all kinds of people who are mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are always some guys who don't really teach art, and only use some methods that everyone knows to deal with people.

If you want to get their insights from such people, you often can't get them in one or two lessons, but you have to listen to them repeatedly. No matter how clumsy people are, it is impossible for them to make the content of their lectures exactly the same every time, and there will always be times when they are not willing to show their mouths. In these countless leaks, the disciples were able to get a glimpse of the door.

The training hall stipulated that the method of polyphony should not be used in each lecture, in order to give the disciples this opportunity.

And you've been there a lot of times, and those people are familiar with you, and they may have taught you some secrets.

It is in this process of accumulation that everyone can get something truly valuable.

Hearing this, Tang Zheng was also deeply touched: "I thought that there would be no such learning things after leaving the academy, but after entering the Moon Washing Sect, I felt like I had entered a bigger academy?"

Wang Yong laughed: "Cultivation is everywhere, how can there be a distinction between academies and schools, junior brother, you are stubborn." ”

Tang Zheng replied abruptly: "It's me who has stuck to the rules." ”

Now that he had decided to listen to more classes, Tang Zheng could no longer only practice in the cave like before. Ten points in a class is not a lot, but if you listen to every lesson, it is really a lot.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng somewhat understood why the Moon Washing Sect was like this, and to put it bluntly, he still forced everyone to work hard to earn contribution points, that is, to do things for the Moon Washing Sect. I couldn't help but smile and said, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the temple and have a look." ”

The central hall is the place where the secret hall sends tasks, Tang has robbed the moon washing faction for three months, and has not really entered here, at this moment, accompanied by Wang Yong, the two came to the hall, only to see a hexagonal crystal in the hall is hanging in the air, and rows of subtitles are swept out from time to time, which are all kinds of tasks issued by the secret hall, and the contribution points are different depending on the content.

According to Wang Yong's introduction, Tang Zheng knew that there were generally two kinds of tasks in the secret hall, one was the task under the hall, that is, the task of the secret hall itself, and the other was a private task, that is, some cultivators in the secret hall may have something to entrust others to do, and they are willing to pay a certain contribution point to entrust it.

In addition, there is actually a kind of task, that is, the task of other halls, sometimes there are some special situations that may need the help of people from other halls, and they will also be sent here.

At this moment, Tang Zheng and Wang Yong were looking for a task of interest, and an old man walked not far away.

The old man's body was withered, and the skin of his whole body was wrinkled like an orange. As soon as Wang Yong saw this person, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Disciple Wang Yong has seen Governor Yu!"

When Tang Zheng heard this, he bowed down and saluted.

The old man surnamed Yu listened, nodded, and showed a smiling expression: "Don't be polite, just listen to the lecture of Changtang, I see how much you two feel, it is obvious that you are understanding, not bad, not bad." I'm going to give a lecture in three days, and I see that you two are quite spiritual, so you might as well come and listen. ”

Wang Yong's face turned embarrassed when he heard this: "Senior Yu, disciple ......"

The old man's face sank as a whole: "What's the matter? Look down on me Yu Yan? Or do you think that my Yu Yan's cultivation experience of four hundred years is not enough to teach you?"

Wang Yong was taken aback: "The disciple doesn't dare!"

The old man Yu snorted: "The old man can afford you, don't give face!"

With a wave of his sleeves, he was already gone.

Seeing the old man leaving, Wang Yong sighed helplessly: "Alas, it's really unlucky, how can I be caught by him." ”

Tang Zheng looked at him with a bitter look on his face and said, "Senior Brother Wang, isn't it a good thing to invite us to the class......?

"Alas!" Wang sighed, "remember what I just told you......?

A flash of light flashed in Tang Zai's heart, and he said in a low voice: "There are always some people who don't really give lectures?

Wang Yong nodded, leaned into Tang Zheng's ear and said, "This is how Yu Yan is." Don't look at the fact that he has been cultivating for more than 400 years, in fact, he is only at the peak of transcendence until now, and he has no hope for the rest of his life. I don't have any skills, but I still have to treat my little skills as a secret. ”

Tang Zai smiled: "This is also normal, only poor people want to divide a penny into two petals, the more incapable people are, the more they take their ability seriously." ”

Wang Yong pounded his palms and said: "The problem is that this old boy's lecture has no content, but he still has to rely on the contribution of everyone in this pit." If others don't listen to his class, he just goes around arresting people to listen to it! That's not all, his class is still very expensive, and he even charges 20 contributions for a class, and the black heart is so tight!"

Tang Zheng's face immediately sank.

Are you kidding?

Don't think that this Lunatic Sect's contribution is very good.

He had already seen those tasks just now, and generally it would take only one or twenty points to complete a simple task, and only a hundred points if it was more difficult. For example, there is a task to hunt down and kill the secret son of the beast refining door, and the secret son is now fleeing in all directions after his identity is revealed. Capturing the person alive earns 150 contributions, and killing them rewards 70 points.

The dark son now only knows that it is in the Qiongya area, the specific address is unknown, and the disciples have to find their own way to find people, so it is troublesome to get so many dozens or more than a hundred points of contribution, which shows that the value of the contribution is really not low.

If it is a lecture at the same level as Chang Tianshui, don't say ten points, even if it is a hundred points, Tang Zheng will admit it, then the old man himself is incompetent and dares to charge twenty points, it is simply a robbery!

Tang Zheng said in a deep voice: "He invited me, so I have to go?"

Wang Yong immediately said: "Oh, he came to invite you, how can he not remember you? If you come, then it will be fine." If he doesn't come, he won't be given face. Although this old man has no skills, he has become a governor by virtue of his qualifications. You must know that the governor can directly assign tasks to you, and if you offend him, he will do a little trick to trick you, and then the gain will outweigh the loss!"

Tang Zheng asked: "There are so many people in the faction, so no one cares about him?"

Wang Yong asked rhetorically: "He just invited you to attend the class, and he didn't violate the rules of the faction, how can he manage it? Even if he sends you a dangerous mission, as long as you should contribute a lot, it is still not a violation of the rules! As long as you don't violate the rules, you will be helpless to take him, so everyone can only admit this loss." ”

Tang Zai said lightly: "I'm actually a stubborn person. If others ask for something, say it well, and I will probably grant it. If you use disgusting means to extort money, you will not obey it. Even if he can talk about Governor Yu's lectures, I don't want to listen to them, how can he bear with me? If there is any trouble or dangerous task, then throw it over and see if I can accept it. ”

After saying this, Tang Zai took over a task casually and left.

Tang Zheng took over a privately released commissioned collection task, which is to collect some relatively rare elixirs, whether it is bought with spiritual money or found by yourself, it is at will, anyway, as long as it is handed over to the entrusting party, you can get three hundred points of contribution.

Because of the value of the elixir itself, the contribution point of the other party is relatively high, which is equivalent to a certain amount of spiritual money and contribution in exchange for huàn. Tang Zheng had money and no time, so he took on this task.

Even so, it took him four days to complete the collection, and he also posted two thousand spirit coins upside down.

After coming back and forth like this, when Tang Zheng returned to the mountain, Yu Lao'er's class had already passed.

In fact, this is also Tang Zheng's intention, although he is not afraid of this old man, he habitually saves some face. If he is out on a mission and has no time to return, it can be regarded as an explanation for the old man, if he knows how to advance and retreat in a measured manner, he should not bother himself.

However, it turns out that the bottom line of human beings is constantly being broken down.

On this day, Tang Zheng was still cultivating in the cave, and a piece of paper flew to him, with a line of big characters on it: "There is an order in the Xuanji Palace, go quickly." ”

This flyer usually means only one thing: there's a mandatory task coming.

In general, there are only two cases in which it is necessary to issue a mandatory task.

First, it is more urgent, so it should be arranged in a compulsory way, rather than allowing the disciples to choose freely. The second is that it is more difficult to do, and it has not been dealt with for a while, so it can only be arranged to the disciples by means of compulsory arrangement.

The former is fine, the latter is more troublesome.

There is no need to ask, Tang Zheng also knows that he is facing the latter situation.
