Du Jianguo originally wanted to use the entry test to embarrass Zhou Zheng, but based on the reasons Liu Mei explained before, he finally gave up.
"As Liu Mei said, with Zhou Zheng's talent, it is more than enough to become an inner disciple. But for the sake of his beloved disciple, he decided to appoint Zhou Zheng as an outer disciple.
The biggest difference between outer disciples and inner disciples lies in the benefits they can enjoy.
What monks need most is cultivation resources.
The outer disciples only have one bottle of Peiyuan Pill a month, while the inner disciples, in addition to two bottles of Peiyuan Pill, also have two low-grade spiritual stones.
Although the difference is only two pieces of low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of Peiyuan Dan, the amount of cultivation resources available to them with the same qualifications is enough to make the cultivation progress of two people faster. Of course, he did not embarrass Liu Mei, but gave Zhou Zheng the opportunity to compete in the ten-year competition. After all, Liu Mei was the direct disciple of Tianci, the headmaster of the Wen Dao Sect.
Although Liu Mei was dissatisfied with Du Jianguo's arrangement, she was helpless. Du Jianguo was the elder of the sect, and he was also the first elder!
She wanted to ask her mentor for help, but her mentor was currently in retreat. There is no point in looking for other elders. Du Jianguo is the first elder of the sect and ranks second in strength in the entire sect. If there is not enough benefit, other elders may not come forward.
Suppressing her inner reluctance, Liu Mei forced a smile and took Zhou Zheng to go through the entry procedures.
After everything was handled and arranged, Liu Mei left Zhou Zheng's residence.
After seeing Liu Mei off, Zhou Zheng walked towards the bed.
Although he was arranged as an outer disciple, under Liu Mei's personal care, Zhou Zheng's residence and his spiritual vein position were still slightly stronger than those of other outer disciples.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhou Zheng took out six items from his arms.
A sign, a small porcelain bottle, a piece of clothing, a belt, an object that looks like jade but not jade and is carved into a scroll, and five spiritual stones.
Brands, porcelain bottles, clothes and belts are all obtained from the housekeeping room.
The brand is his identity card in Wen Dao Sect. That small porcelain bottle contained Pei Yuan Dan. There was nothing much to say about these two, so Zhou Zheng just ignored them.
Reaching out and picking up the dark clothes.
It is soft to the touch and feels cold.
Zhou Zheng did not see what material it was made of, but he knew that the clothes seemed soft, but they could withstand ordinary sword damage.
Such uniforms alone are not something that ordinary tribes can afford. However, Wen Dao Sect regards it as the uniform for new disciples entering the sect. Coupled with the storage belt, Zhou Zheng had to sigh at the wealth of the large sect.
Of course, it was Liu Meihan who asked the internal affairs room disciples to replace the small storage bag with a storage belt that only direct disciples were entitled to have.
Putting down his uniform, Zhou Zheng focused on the jade-like object carved into a scroll and the five spiritual stones.
These two things were given by Liu Mei.
The objects that look like jade but are not jade and are carved into scrolls are jade slips, which record a set of relatively advanced Qi refining techniques.
Originally, Zhou Zheng could receive a jade slip recording the Qi Refining Technique in the Internal Affairs Office, but the Qi Refining Technique issued to the outer disciples by the Internal Affairs Office was only slightly stronger than the popular products outside. Liu Mei, who understood this, directly skipped the qi-refining formula when she took Zhou Zheng to the internal affairs room to pick up the things. Instead, she gave Zhou Zheng a set of qi-refining techniques herself. After bringing Zhou Zheng to his residence, he placed five middle-grade spiritual stones on the table in front of Zhou Zheng.
A piece of middle-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to a hundred low-grade spiritual stones!
But even low-grade spiritual stones are something that the Zhou tribe cannot possess, let alone him who has always wanted to possess them but has no extra resources to help him cultivate.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Mei giving out five middle-grade spiritual stones at once, he couldn't help but feel excited and sighing in his heart. But sighs are sighs, but he accepted these two things without politeness at that time, because he knew the importance of these two things to him.
¡°Boy, I¡¯ll see where you end up in this place from now on, life will be difficult for you!¡±
As soon as I finished reading what was in front of me, the voice of the Soul Demon sounded.
"I know!"
Zhou Zheng said lightly without comment.
"But having said that, that girl is very nice to you. In order not to disturb you, I specially arranged a remote place for you. In addition, there are also Qi refining techniques and low-grade spiritual stones. Of course, although these things Not allowed??Magic eye, but for a person with low cultivation like you, it has to be said that it is very important. how? Have you ever thought about soaking her up? "
At the beginning, Zhou Zheng still agreed with what the soul demon said. After all, what he said was true. But when the soul demon said the last sentence, the expression on Zhou Zheng's face suddenly became dull.
After reacting immediately, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I mean, Soul Demon, being imprisoned for endless years, doesn't it make you feel too boring, too boring, too lonely?"
"Hahaha, what you said has touched the heart of this demon. It's rare for you to be recognized as the master of the stone tower. No matter what, I have to find something to do. How about it? If you want to, this demon will definitely not do anything. I support you unreservedly, and with the help of this demon, you will be able to capture it"
Before Soul Demon could continue, Zhou Zheng interrupted: "Soul Demon, since you want to find something to do, teach me how to change the spirit gathering array so that it can be hidden from others' perception."
"Why are you so anxious, kid!" The soul demon continued nonchalantly: "Through this demon's infatuation illusion formation, I will make that girl take the initiative to devote herself to you"
"Soul Demon!"
Zhou Zheng¡¯s face suddenly darkened, and his tone became much more serious.
"Uh, okay!" Although he knew that Zhou Zheng would not refine his soul, the soul demon still reluctantly stopped his plan to pick up girls, and then began to explain to Zhou Zheng the changes that needed to be made in the small spirit gathering array, and explained it carefully. Special attention should be paid to the place.
"How could such a stunning girl not be moved? I really don't know what you think!"
In the end, the soul demon still remained in Zhou Zheng's sea of ??consciousness and muttered unwillingly. Zhou Zheng paid no attention to this at all. He closed his eyes and carefully considered what the Soul Demon had just explained. After he fully understood it, he got out of bed, moved the bed, and then began to carve out a small spirit gathering array on the ground in his room.
Zhou Zheng would be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to a beauty as stunning as Liu Mei, but he really didn't have that kind of thought and energy.
As soon as he entered the sect, he was jealous of his fellow disciples of the younger generation. Especially Yun Ruofei's look before leaving made Zhou Zheng aware of the murderous intention behind the unwillingness. It was precisely because of Yun Ruofei's murderous intention that he He was disappointed with the Xuanmen Zongzong in his mind, and at the same time he felt a sense of urgency. Because he didn't know when Yun Ruofei's murderous intention would explode against him again.
And through the attitude of those young disciples towards Liu Mei, and the fact that Liu Mei hated Yun Ruofei very much, but had to give in, Zhou Zheng understood one truth, that is, strength.
Those young disciples obviously admired Liu Mei very much, but they did not dare to harass her too much because of Liu Mei's strength; Liu Mei was conceited and coy with Yun Ruofei, especially because Yun Ruofei had the strength of the early stage of the twelfth level of Qi training. .
Yun Ruofei's level of cultivation was mentioned by Liu Mei before leaving. Zhou Zheng knew that Liu Mei was also worried about him. Therefore, being envied and cared about by a monk whose level was far beyond his own, would he dare to slack off? What's more, there is Zhou Tian in the tribe, waiting for him to go back and solve it.
What Zhou Zheng is not sure about is whether his uncle Zhou Kuohai will stand on Zhou Tian's side when the time comes. After all, they are father and son, flesh and blood. But just in case, Zhou Zheng had to include his uncle.
These various reasons forced him to put all his thoughts and efforts into improving his cultivation.
Although some changes have been made, with past experience, Zhou Zheng's carving this time only took less than two hours to display a complete small spirit gathering formation on the ground.
As soon as the small spirit gathering formation was completed, Zhou Zheng discovered the difference.
After the light flashed, the small spirit gathering array slowly faded away until it became completely invisible and disappeared. Moreover, Zhou Zheng also noticed that the spirit gathering array depicted this time, the pulling of the spiritual energy became more obscure. If it was not deliberately To perceive, it is almost difficult to detect.
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng finally felt relieved.
Exhaling a breath, Zhou Zheng moved the bed back to its original position, then clapped his hands and sat cross-legged on it.
When Liu Mei handed over the Qi Refining Technique to him, Zhou Zheng had already memorized the contents in his mind without missing a beat. Therefore, after sitting cross-legged, he directly swallowed a Yuan-Pui Dan and held a spiritual stone in his hand. He then closed his eyes and fell into meditation, and began to practice according to the Qi-refining techniques recorded on the jade slips.
It was the first time for him to run the Qi Refining Technique given by Liu Mei, so it was inevitably a little slow, and sometimes he even felt like it was not connected. However, in the calmness, Zhou Zheng gradually became proficient and fluent by running it over and over again.
With Peiyuan Dan andThe two stones complement each other, and the place he is located is above the spiritual veins, and Zhou Zheng is blessed by a small spirit gathering array more than others. His experience of practicing this time is completely different. Especially with the spiritual energy provided by spiritual stones and spiritual veins, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed into the body is simply a huge difference.
With each operation of the Qi Refining Technique, the spiritual energy in his body also increased significantly.
Time passed quietly while Zhou Zheng was practicing silently. The night soon fell, but Zhou Zheng was still cultivating in concentration.
With a squeak, Liu Mei, whose face was covered by white gauze, pushed the door open and entered.
I originally thought that Zhou Zheng had rested too much because of the fatigue from the journey, but unexpectedly he was practicing meditation.
Liu Mei, who pushed the door open and walked in, was obviously stunned for a moment.
In the night, looking at Zhou Zheng who was unaware of his arrival but still immersed in cultivation, Liu Mei's bright and moving eyes above the white gauze flashed with admiration.
After thinking about it, Liu Mei took out a gray pill from her storage belt with a thought, and then used the spiritual power in her body to slowly send it to the table. Once again, she glanced at Zhou Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, before she gently pushed out of the room and carefully closed the door for him.
"This little girl Liu Mei is so considerate in her concern for Mr. Zhou. She even knows how to leave Bigu Pills! She is so afraid of disturbing Mr. Zhou that she is so cautious! Hey, she is so attentive and considerate, and she is so beautiful. , it¡¯s really against the laws of nature to let Mr. Zhou go unused! No, I have to think of a way to instigate this kid to act!¡±
After Liu Mei left, the soul demon's unscrupulous muttering to himself rang out from the stone tower in Zhou Zheng's sea of ??consciousness. But Zhou Zheng knew nothing about it.
The reason why Zhou Zheng dared to practice meditation completely with such confidence was because he believed in the soul demon and would not ignore him in danger. Of course, Zhou Zheng also knew in his heart that he could not rely on the Soul Demon forever.
Only one¡¯s own strength is the most reliable!
This is one of the reasons why he forgets sleep and food to practice.
The night passed quickly, and it was not until noon the next day that Zhou Zheng had to wake up from his trance, because he was too hungry to continue trance.
As soon as he got off the ground, Zhou Zheng saw the Bigu Pill on the table.
After being stunned for a moment, he already thought that Liu Mei had been here.
When he came to the table and held the Bigu Pill in his hand, a trace of hesitation flashed in Zhou Zheng's eyes. However, after just a moment, his eyes recovered and revealed a firmness.
Sister Liu, thank you!
With a secret thank you in his heart, Zhou Zheng threw the Bigu Pill in his hand into his mouth, then turned back to the bed, closed his eyes and continued his practice
This guy actually didn¡¯t go and say thank you in person! How could this be? How could this be possible
The soul demon in the stone tower was now stunned with his mouth wide open.
