When Xie Danzhu saw this dragon claw locust tree at the first time, he felt very strange: How could this dragon claw locust tree on Zixia Mountain be exactly the same as the one in his back garden?

This dragon claw locust grows on the left side of the front yard of the Spiritual Artifacts Shop. When Xie Danzhu looked up and saw the green umbrella-like dragon claw locust outside the window. Every branch and every leaf of this dragon claw locust made him feel friendly. He was simply suspected that the dragon claw locust from his back garden came here with him-

Of course, this is impossible. I only heard that old trees that become spirits can transform into elves to travel, but their bodies can still be rooted in the same place. Who has ever seen trees walk and relocate? Even if Zixia Mountain is full of magic, it is impossible, so it can only be a coincidence. There are really two identical dragon claw locust trees in the world, just like people have twins that look very similar. The senior brother of Linguistic Arts House also said that there was a dragon claw locust tree here, but Xie Danzhu still wanted to verify it and wanted to go home to see the dragon claw locust tree in his back garden. The outer disciples of Zixia Mountain have a chance to go back to their hometown once a year. It has been almost a year since he entered the mountain gate, and he can apply to return home in half a month. Dad, brother, and younger sister are all okay?

Making spiritual weapons is very hard. There are six hours a day to carve wooden tools and carve talisman arrays in the workshop. Although it is a work on the face of the hand, I sit like this every day. Not only does my hands get calluses, but my butt have even got calluses. For Xie Danzhu, who is only fifteen years old, this is really too depressing. Only when he sees the spiritual weapons he made - Lingquan, Ling crane, Ling horse, Ling cow, etc., transform into living creatures after embedding the bronze crystal stones - Xie Danzhu felt fresh -

Xu Zhi, the senior brother who presided over the Spiritual Artifacts Workshop, praised Xie Danzhu. Among the ten outer disciples assigned to the Spiritual Artifacts Workshop this year, Xie Danzhu is the most outstanding. Xie Danzhu is not only skillful, but also able to endure hardships and be willing to study. He can independently make low-quality spiritual weapons in just half a year. Xu Zhi has been in the Zixia Mountain Spiritual Artifacts Workshop for twenty years and has never seen such a smart and studious boy-

But since he was assigned to the Spiritual Artifact Shop, it means that Xie Danzhu is not suitable for cultivation. The cultivation path has nothing to do with intelligence. Cultivation depends on the qualifications of the soul. Only those three souls and six spirits are conducive to condensation and formation will be regarded as inner disciples and carefully cultivated. Outer disciples are basically equivalent to being a hardworking person. Taming spirit beasts, planting spirit valleys, making spiritual weapons, and digging spirit mines are all the work of outer disciples. However, Zixia Mountain will not treat these outer disciples badly. It has been fifteen years since entering the mountain.

The outer disciples can ask to return to the secular world. At that time, Zixia Mountain will give this outer disciple a pill to cure diseases and prolong life. It is said that it can increase life for one century, and from then on, all diseases will not arise. In addition, in the fifteen years in the mountains, at least 200 low-grade bronze crystals can be obtained every year. One low-grade bronze crystal can be exchanged for 40 kilograms of rice, and two hundred are eight thousand kilograms of rice, which is enough to maintain the living expenses of a family of five for a year. Except for Zixia Mountain, there is really no such a generous wage for other places.

Zixia Mountain selects disciples every five years, each time fifty, and there are no more than ten inner disciples. Therefore, even the outer disciples of Zixia Mountain are the ones that more than 20,000 young men and girls in the 64 towns of Zixia Eight Units have always dreamed of. However, since they entered the mountain gate, their horizons were broadened, they naturally had higher pursuits. Seeing those guys selected for inner disciples all looked as if they were prides of heaven, Xie Danzhu could not help but feel a little disappointed. He has the ability far beyond ordinary people, the magic of flying and escaping the earth, and even immortality. This is his dream since childhood, but now, the hard work day after day is combined with those dreams and the passionate dreams are too far away!

Although Elder Zixia Mountain was judged to be unsuitable for cultivation and was not qualified to become an inner disciple, Xie Danzhu was not discouraged. It was already very hard to make tools for six hours a day. The boys who came here were so tired that they fell asleep after work, but Xie Danzhu still had to practice hard for half an hour in the morning and evening, which was nothing more than practicing the strength and speed of the body.

Purification in Zixia Mountain is divided into ten levels, namely the seventh realm of soul refining and the three realm of soul refining. The seventh realm of soul refining is: Yingpo Realm, Essence Realm, Central Realm, Power Realm, Qi Po Realm, Spiritual Wisdom Realm, and Tian Chong Realm;

The three realms of soul condensation are: the real soul realm, the earth soul realm, and the heavenly soul realm—

If you practice to the first level of the Yingpo Realm, the strength and speed of your body will be doubled compared to the original one. That is, if the original physique is five jin (one jin is thirty jin), then after reaching the Yingpo Realm, it will suddenly rise to ten jin, and the speed will also increase exponentially. If you can practice to the seventh level of the Heavenly Clash Realm, then the seven jin will condense and the physical constitution will undergo amazing changes. Not only will the strength, speed and agility be a hundred times that of ordinary people, but the five consciousnesses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body are far superior to those of ordinary people.

The third realm of Soul Condensation above the seventh realm of Soul Refining is even more magical about changing fate against the heavens. After condensing the heavenly soul, the lifespan can reach 600 to 800 years. Moreover, even if the soul pill is not able to extend its lifespan again in life, the soul will not dissipate after death. If you have the opportunity, you can continue to practice in the Yin Spirit Realm. Once you form a elixir and a baby, you can shape your body and reborn. That is to say, even if you die, you will still have a chance to rebirth. In general, ordinary people in the world die like a lamp extinguished. If you die, you will disappear. The soul will disappear and disappear invisibly. This is the huge difference between the practitioners in the Soul Condensation Realm and ordinary people-

As for the higher realms of soul pills, soul infants, wind and fire catastrophes, life and souls, etc. above the third realm of soul condensation, Xie Danzhu didn't think about it at all. What's the use of those who are too ethereal and ambitious? His current goal is to cultivate to the third realm of soul refining - the central realm, because Zixia Mountain has a regulation that if an outer disciple can enter the central realm, he can be promoted to an inner disciple, and from then on, he can concentrate on practicing without having to bear chores.

However, the outer disciples will only be taught the first level of soul refining skills after serving for three years. Moreover, the outer disciples have to engage in heavy labor, so how much time can they spend on cultivation? What's more, their qualifications are not good. Therefore, for thousands of years since the opening of Zixia Mountain, there have been very few people promoted from outer disciples to inner disciples.

Xie Danzhu didn't know the magic tricks of condensed Yingpo. He only knew that the strength and speed of his body would double after he reached the first level. He thought: "I will exercise my body stronger now, and then refine my strength to the Yingpo realm. Isn't it more powerful? Starting is very important. It's like a baby, how much strength can he have if he doubles it!"

So Xie Danzhu trained very hard in order to soar to the sky one day.

The other nine teenagers who entered the Spiritual Artifact Floor also exercised with Xie Danzhu at first, but they were too tired to make the instrument during the day, and they all gave up after not sticking to it for a few days. Only Xie Danzhu was still persisting. Every morning and evening, there were always a teenager Xie Danzhu running with a heavy load on the mountain road on the right side of the Spiritual Artifact Floor. Day after day, regardless of wind and rain.

...

At dusk this day, the disciples of the Spiritual Artifact House who had finished their supper stood in groups on the high platform of the yard and laughed, watching the purple clouds shining, the tired birds returned to the forest, and enjoying the rare leisure time of the day. Xie Danzhu happened to return with sweat on his head and returned from training—

An old-fashioned disciple of the Spiritual Artifacts teased: "Dan Zhu, have you practiced to the Yingpo Realm?"

Another substitute Xie Danzhu replied: "It's more than that, you'll reach the central realm soon, and the inner disciples are steadily."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xie Danzhu ignored the sarcastic words of these people, walked by with his head down, and secretly felt nervous: "You must become an inner disciple and let these people see it."

Xu Zhi, a senior brother over fifty, blamed the disciples who made fun of Xie Danzhu and said, "Okay, okay, everyone is here, so don't sarcastic. Danzhu is a very good kid."

Xu Zhi was originally an inner disciple. Because he was unable to break through the third level of central realm for many years, he was sent to the outer sect to preside over the spiritual weapon workshop—

The disciple who made fun of him said embarrassedly: "The lesson of the elder brother is that we were full of fantasies back then, such as inner disciples, immortality, but over the past ten years, there have been no fantasies. Just stay in the outer door to make tools."

Another person said: "Yes, yes, our outer disciples are not qualified and cannot practice at all. Xie Danzhu will understand this sooner or later. I see that he is sweating all over his head every day and can't bear it. It's in vain."

Xu Zhi turned his head and looked at Xie Danzhu's back, sighed slightly, and said to himself: "It is said that Danzhu was abandoned by his biological parents when he was a few months old. He was adopted by a family named Xie in Shitian Town, Wufengyi. Xue Shibo, who presided over the selection of inner disciples, said that Danzhu's three souls and seven spirits were shocked. This should be because he was extremely frightened when he was a baby and his soul was damaged. Such people could not cultivate to the third level of central realm, but they were afraid that the first level of Yingpo Realm could not reach—"

Thinking of this, Xu Zhi really couldn't bear it. The boy's dream was shattered, and his hard work was not rewarded. Dan Zhu would be so disappointed at that time, but there was nothing he could do about it. Even if there were a few inner disciples who could break through the seventh level of soul refining to reach the third level of soul condensing, most of them would age and die like outer disciples!

Xu Zhi was sighing when he suddenly heard a noisy shout from the Spirit Beast Courtyard. The noise became louder and louder, and he came to the Spirit Artifact Square. Xu Zhi and others stretched their necks and looked south. The Spirit Beast Courtyard was located in the valley south of Zixia Mountain and was a place for taming spirit beasts.

A small white shadow flew across the ground, very eye-catching in the green forest, and soon rushed outside the spirit beast courtyard, swimming down the wall, looking like there was no way to escape-

The disciples of the Spiritual Artifacts House saw clearly that it was a purple-eyed snow fox. The purple-eyed snow fox is a second-level spirit beast. The adult purple-eyed snow fox is worth 400 lowest-grade bronze crystals, but the purple-eyed snow fox has a short tail and is obviously underage. The adult purple-eyed snow fox has a beautiful big tail-

With a "swish" sound, the purple-eyed snow fox disappeared under the wall of the spiritual weapon yard.

The disciples of the Spirit Beast Academy also arrived at this time. The first few were disciples of the second level of the Spirit Realm. They ran very fast. When they practiced to the Spirit Realm, they had four times their strength and speed. They were very agility and alertness, but they were chasing them all the way, but they failed to catch up with the underage purple-eyed snow fox.

The man in the leader bowed to Xu Zhi and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, have you ever seen a fleeing purple-eyed snow fox?"

Xu Zhi returned to the liturgy and said, "There is a snow fox who escaped into the yard of the Spiritual Artifacts Square. Some of them follow me-"

Xu Zhi led several disciples from the Spirit Beast Academy to search for the purple-eyed snow fox, and asked, "Junior Brother Xue, your Spirit Beast Academy has a talisman array, how could a minor fox run out?"

The disciple named Xue shook his head repeatedly and said, "Senior Brother Xu, you don't know. This snow fox is very cunning. I don't know why it can transform its big tail into a short tail. We mistakenly think that it has not yet grown up and has not sold it. The snow fox can be sold for six years after being tamed. In recent years, batches of snow foxes have been sold, but this cunning snow fox has been staying in the spirit beast courtyard. Junior Sister Yun had already discovered that something was wrong with this snow fox three years ago and kept paying attention to it. Yesterday, she found that it had transformed its big tail into a short tail. We wanted to capture it. Unexpectedly, this cunning thing actually replaced the spirit stone while the talisman array was replaced. The ban disappeared for a moment. I guess the snow fox may have produced spiritual wisdom-"

Xu Zhi was shocked: "This is impossible. The purple-eyed snow fox is just a second-level spirit beast. It takes at least a thousand years to practice to have spiritual wisdom. It only takes a thousand years for our Zixia Mountain to open the gate."

The lower the level of the spirit beast, the more difficult it is to practice. Just like an outer disciple with poor qualifications, it is not as good as a year for ten years of cultivation.

The disciple surnamed Xue also felt that he was a little whimsical. It should be just a coincidence that the snow fox could escape. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu said that it is impossible for the snow fox to have intelligence, but it is undoubtedly a matter of its transformation. No matter what, catch it first and send it to the elder of the inner sect to identify it-"

The footsteps were rapid, and two disciples from the Spirit Beast Academy arrived. One of them had an iron-clawed falcon on his shoulder. The iron-clawed falcon had a black cloth covering his head. The iron-clawed falcon was also a second-level spirit beast, used for hunting. It can be said that it was the natural enemy of low-level spirit beasts such as snow foxes.
