Rebirth and then become immortal

Rows of bookshelves appeared in front of Xiao Qing, and what caught her eye at the front was Xia with his back to her.

Xia was sitting in front of a desk with various files stacked on top of it. He was holding a cinnabar-stained brush in his hand, and seemed to be writing something on it.

"Did you collect and organize everything here?"

Xiao Qing walked up to him and placed the two hairs in front of Xia.

Xia also seemed to have a great reaction to these two hairs. He frowned and burned them almost instantly, leaving only a little bit of dust between his fingers.

Seeing his actions, Xiao Qing's expression became serious. She put her hands on the desk and moved slightly closer to Xia who collected the dust: "Did you notice something?"

"There are some clues, but I'm not sure yet..." Xia put her forehead on her hands, "But what is certain is that it is right to stay away from her."

"But she has been selected to participate in the sect competition. It is almost impossible to avoid her completely."

"Sect competition?"

Xia knew this, but because of the special nature of Qianji Pavilion, Qianji Pavilion had never participated in this kind of thing. Duobao Pavilion next door sponsored it one after another.

"Which sect is hosting this sect competition?"

"Tianqin Pavilion."

Xiao Qing looked at him: "Does Qianji Pavilion also want to participate?"

"We are not a sect, but it shouldn't be a problem to send some people to the scene. Tianqin Pavilion will not turn us away."

Xiao Qing thought for a while and then said: "Since we can't avoid it, it's better to take the initiative. I want to see what secrets she hides."

"That's fine... the people I send will contact you then, and we won't have any contact for the next few days."

Saying goodbye to Tong Xia, Xiao Qing left the secret room. She put away the key and looked around, but she didn't see the master. Xiao Qing looked at the suddenly changing sky again, and her heart sank again.

One day she will ask Master to tell her all the secrets of Tianmu Palace.

But before that, it is better to practice with peace of mind and improve your cultivation level.

Xiao Qing went to apply for a training room in Wujian Cave alone. Before going, she went to receive the salary that she had never received before, and by the way, she received some of her share of the hard work.

The monk who distributed the salary met his nemesis today.

An elder, an elder with a transcendent status, an elder who has not received a salary for thousands of years, has accumulated a lot of spiritual stones.

Even if the other party doesn't want actual spiritual stones, the amount converted into cold light orders is still so large that they are teetering on the edge.

They don't have much storage of the Cold Light Order here. Although there is no problem in paying the part Xiao Qing asked for, they can't really give all the stored Cold Light Order to Xiao Qing.

After discussing with Xiao Qing whether they could use part of the cold light order and part of the spirit stone, Xiao Qing agreed and they hurriedly sent people to the spiritual veins and asked them to temporarily mine a lot of spirit stone mines and seize the time to refine and polish the ore into one. It took almost a dozen monks to complete these tasks within half a day.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that Xiao Qing did not ask for all the examples, otherwise even if they were given twenty more people, they would not be able to create these in one day.

They will never forget this hard-working elder in their lifetime.

Putting his salary in the space ring, Xiao Qing took the somewhat crude-looking ring, smiled at them, said thank you for your hard work and left.

Her salary is so small that she can't even use a space ring to show it off.

When he arrived at the place, Xiao Qing had settled on it for three years. Looking at the inquisitive eyes around him, Xiao Qing felt that he was getting richer.

But the number of cold light orders collected this time was not as high as last time.

Xiao Qing only spent all his cold light order and spirit stones to rent it for three years.

The dry ones weren't even used.

Xiao Qing was a little surprised. Could it be that the sect competition meant that Wujian Cave was also discounted?

This discount is not small!

Xiao Qing asked the guard elders in confusion.

The elder guard stroked his beard and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "The sect master has an order. For the monks who are about to participate in the sect competition, the sect will fully support them until the competition is over."

"Wu Jian Cave will naturally make corresponding adjustments."

After getting the answer, Xiao Qing took the wooden sign and went to find his sword room.

As soon as she entered, she released Su Nian.

This was a rare place where Su Nian could restore his original form, so he circled around here excitedly. Xiao Qing noticed that the sword spirits around him were not hostile to Su Nian, but were even quite close to him.

Does Jianyi actually recognize people?

At the same time, the black shadow also appeared indoors again.

Looking at the figure of the other party, Xiao Qing felt as if he was reunited with an old friend.

But the old friend here had no intention of greeting Xiao Qing. As soon as it appeared, it flew straight down towards Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing naturally anticipated its reaction, and Su Nian appeared in his hand as soon as his mind moved.

The sound of the clash of swords resounded throughout the sword room.

For three whole years, Xiao Qing was either fighting the black shadow in the sword room or practicing "Breaking the Sky". There are eighteen moves in breaking the sky, and she has mastered the third move. For the fourth move, "Heaven and Earth Shatter" "It also worked quite smoothly.

And her cultivation also reached the peak of the middle stage of Golden Core at this moment.

As long as she wants, she can break through and become a late-stage Jindan monk at any time.

But Xiao Qing intuitively felt that this was not the best time for her to break through. Her breakthrough day should be after the competition.

But what surprised Xiao Qing even more was that she finally realized some sword intent!

Sword cultivators who have understood the meaning of the sword and those who have not understood the meaning of the sword are simply two different species. If I had to use a metaphor, it would be the difference between a Gundam and a tank or a cannon.

It cannot be said that the latter has no lethality, but the former is really a dimensionality-reducing blow to the latter.

Although she only understood a few points, it was enough to make Xiao Qing ecstatic. She could even irresponsibly say that she could get the top three in the Golden Elixir Stage Comparison Test.

Three years have passed. Xiao Qing took back her long-cherished relationship with the black shadow. She looked at the black shadow standing quietly beside her, just like she had looked at her every time she practiced before, and whispered. goodbye.

The black shadow seemed to nodded, but upon closer inspection, he didn't make any move.

Its figure gradually drifted away.

Xiao Qing stared at the empty room for a while and then left.

After returning the wooden plaque to the old man, Xiao Qing was no longer in a hurry to practice. Her opportunity for breakthrough was not here. Instead, she was more interested in the technique left by Lin Qianli.

As mentioned before, this technique is not difficult to practice.

It can even be said to be very simple.

It only took less than three days for Xiao Qing to form a small storage space in his body.

Xiao Qing also went to Gan Ku to check. Even though she was stronger than Gan Ku, he just felt that there was something strange in her body, as if she had an extra internal organ or something, but other than that, nothing else was found wrong. place.

After that, the master and the disciple continued to practice as usual.

Because Xiao Qing had developed sword intent, Gan Ku's requirements for her had also increased a lot, and Gan Ku's requirements for her at this time were also related to physical training. Xuanji Tianzong doesn't do much internal body cultivation.

And most of them only communicate with their own lineage. Xiao Qing once visited them. Their practice methods include but are not limited to self-proclaimed cultivation of hanging waterfalls, walking on steel carpets full of blades, fighting monsters, and doing business for three days and three nights. The charcoal is roasting, the ice invades the body, and the plum blossom pile is danced in the violent wind and rain. Once it falls, it must be added ten times...

They will even whip each other to scatter spiritual whips. After a hundred whips, whoever has more than ten whip marks on his back will be punished.

……

Xiao Qing and Gan Ku looked at each other.

"Master... I feel that although I need a strong body, they are a little too strong."

If he just proclaimed himself a cultivator and climbed off a cliff, Xiao Qing wouldn't be able to do it, but the following things really exceeded Xiao Qing's expectations.

Ganku was also the first time I saw the practice method of body cultivation.

She smiled heartily at the elder who kept passing the whip to her, telling her not to worry and to strike boldly. She shook her head and said the word "sorry" that rarely came out of her mouth. He took Xiao Qing and left.

The physical practice method is indeed not suitable for them.

But some of them can be learned and transformed.

For example, a self-proclaimed cultivator dances on plum blossom piles in a strong wind and rain.

In this way, after training for almost a year, Xiao Qing's body was shrinking and growing muscles day by day.

However, as a sword cultivator, the muscles on her body are not ferocious, but streamlined, making her look more symmetrical.

Her height at this time has reached about 175, but what surprised Xiao Qing is that she is more and more similar to her previous life, but her skin is in better condition than in her previous life, and she wore glasses all year round because of myopia in her previous life. His godless eyes are as sharp as an eagle in this life.

The sect competition is coming soon, and they need to go to Tianqin Pavilion one month in advance.

It was the first time that Tianqin Pavilion held a sect competition, so they put in extra effort.

The surrounding dense forests were even reclaimed and built, and many mansions were built to accommodate other sect monks participating in the sect competition.

The venue for this competition is the "Jue Yin Valley", which is the place where the first pavilion master of Tianqin Pavilion ascended.

Jueyin Valley lives up to its name. It is said that there is no music in the valley, just because the master of Tianqin Pavilion realized that "big sound is silent" before ascending, and thus opened the final door to ascension.

This place has also become a holy place for Tianqin Pavilion monks to understand and practice.

Gan Ku could not go to Tianqin Pavilion together due to special reasons. Although Xiao Qing was disappointed, he did not dwell on it for too long.

Today's leading monk is Uncle Qianxun.

There should have been Master Uncle Qianyuan, but he is still studying the two things Xiao Qing gave him, which are almost the same as the mortal gate, and even the matters concerning the outer sect are left to Venerable Chi Yan.

The other leading elders were the third disciple Cheng'en and the second disciple Chengze of Elder Xuanyin who were at odds with the sect leader.

Chengze has a handsome appearance and looks to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, while Chengen is a gloomy middle-aged man, and the two seem quite at odds with each other.

When Xiao Qing arrived at the gathering place, what he saw was that Chengen was pressing forward step by step, Chengze was making an understatement, and Qian Xun was so happy that he wanted to swipe away.

Although these two elders are said to be from the same sect, their conflicts are not small.

Xiao Qing, who was originally worried about how Elder Qian Xun would respond if they join forces, breathed a sigh of relief.

Gathered here are not only their participating disciples, but also many disciples responsible for taking care of them. Because in this year's sect competition, there were two outer disciples from Xuanji Tianzong, so there were also some disciples who followed them. There are many faces from the outside.

There were only 23 disciples participating in the competition, but there were as many as a hundred monks following them.

From foundation building to soul refining, we have it all.

Xiao Qing saw many faces among them, most of them were relatively unfamiliar.

Ruan Mingyun and Yan Fei stood on the outside, looking a little out of place.

"Junior Sister Xiao! You are here!"

Gu Junwu waved to her excitedly.

She stood with Yu Zhu, still wearing the uniform uniform of the accompanying monks.

It is said that this is to distinguish the participating monks from other monks. The same is true for other sects to prevent others from getting confused.

Xiao Qing waved to them and turned to walk in the direction of Ruan Mingyun.

Yan Fei couldn't help but feel nervous standing among such a group of monks.

Ruan Mingyun acted much calmer.

Only the hands twisting her sleeves into a ball revealed her true thoughts.

The inner disciples formed a faint circle to isolate them. Although the other outer disciples who came over were also surrounding them, most of their eyes were still looking at the inner disciples.

Xiao Qing had previously told her to stay away from Yan Fei and she had listened, but now in this situation she had to stand with Yan Fei.

It wasn't until Xiao Qing came over to stand with her that Ruan Mingyun's wandering heart felt a sense of security.

When other people who were watching Xiao Qing saw Xiao Qing standing next to the two outer disciples, their first reaction was that Xiao Qing wanted to accept them as his close disciples, right?

This is a popular "game" among some inner disciples. The last person who had high-profile contact with outer disciples and recruited a bunch of close disciples was called Sheng Yuanjie.

...Speaking of which, it seems that Sheng Yuanjie and his grandfather fell into Xiao Qing's hands, right?

Although I'm not sure what Xiao Qing is thinking, since Xiao Qing has taken this step, it won't look good if they exclude those two people.

Gradually, some people came over to chat with them.

In his words, Xiao Qing deliberately revealed some familiarity with Ruan Mingyun, and also left some bias in the hearts of others.

The aura on Yan Fei's body was getting worse and worse.

But the same thing is that her cultivation level has improved again, and her cultivation speed is not slow.

I don’t know how she became an outer disciple.

It's clear her talent is enough to get her into the inner gate.

Xiao Qing stood not far away and looked at Yan Fei, then looked away before she noticed.

Only then did she walk up to Gu Junwu and the others and say hello to these people.

Familiar people in the Jindan stage and Nascent Soul stage also gathered together and dispersed in several directions. There was a feeling that the water in the well did not interfere with the river.

It's just that apart from their side being happy and harmonious, Yano's side seems to be replicating the tense atmosphere between their masters.

Oh, come to think of it, those two elders are still very angry now.

"Hehe, it feels like Master's head has grown twice as big. When the time comes, I want Master to tell me what exactly they said."

Gu Junwu smiled playfully. She was not participating in the competition anyway, so she should go to Tianqin Pavilion to relax and watch the scenery.

While a few people were chatting and laughing, Qian Xun, who had finally had enough, waved his hand to indicate that he could go to Tianqin Pavilion.
