Chapter 23: Closed Door Meditation

  "That must be an illusion, Qing Shui Town is peaceful and uneventful, how could anything happen?" 6 Chen constantly comforted himself, finally he gritted his teeth, knowing that it was already late at night, so his heart also calmed down.

  He thought that what happened in Qing Shui Town was just his own wild imagination!

  The things plundered from He Wu were all contributed to Zhang Dageng and the others, with a few pieces of Ling Stone, and the rest were some trivial things.

  "Preparing to cultivate the Three-Part Divine Sense." 6 Chen nodded slightly, he began preparing for the half-yearly door assessment, but his purpose was not to enter the inner door. After all, his own cultivation was looked down upon by others, but if he didn't advance, how could Zhou Rou and the others?

  No way!

  After these people go in, they will definitely die, so 6 Chen thought about it and decided to challenge the inner door assessment. By beating them one by one, isn't that settled?

  It's just waiting for the black fish to spit out the cocoon successfully, without robbing its own spiritual energy, and not looking at the elixir field for 6 chen. He has a feeling that it will be around these days.

  Of course, these days were not wasted either. He spent six days pondering the mediocre sword technique and at the same time used his sword intent to cultivate his spiritual consciousness.

  "This sword will reign supreme in the world!"

  The sound of the purple bamboo flute is slightly childish and has no overbearing tone.

  On the mountain, Zhang Dageng was cutting purple bamboo, but he was attracted by this sound, looked around with his mouth open, and the sickle in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. For a long time, he wiped the saliva from his mouth.

  "This swordsmanship is atrocious!"

  After that day, Zhang Dageng gave up chopping the purple bamboo. It wasn't for any other reason, but because of Xiao Shidi's cramp-like swordsmanship, he was afraid that he would be influenced by it and suddenly display this kind of swordsmanship without knowing why. Moreover, this thing that couldn't even be considered a real swordsmanship, why did his younger brother shout with such arrogance?

  Five days passed, and the Black Fish successfully formed a cocoon. Looking inside, one could see a rhombus-shaped black crystal constantly rotating, vaguely sensing that there was an error in the six pulses, and the aura released by the Black Fish was exactly the same as that of the Black Scaled Snake.

  After a moment, 6 Chen immediately swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill. In an instant, spiritual energy coursed through his body, but there was no longer that familiar feeling, and it gradually accumulated into more.

  Valid!

  At 6 o'clock, the sky felt exceptionally clear, and the future seemed bright. As long as there were no small black fish stealing his spiritual energy, everything was fine. With the remaining days, he put on the water-avoiding pearl and a few elixirs, and jumped into the pool to cultivate!

  Qigong three layers under uninterrupted, finally break through!

  This made Liu Chen puzzled, had he accidentally eaten a single Ling root?

  For half a year in a row, Qingyunmen was plunged into an urgent atmosphere.

  The inner door assessment is the ultimate goal of outer door disciples. If one enters the inner door, not only will their status be elevated, but their treatment will also improve several times over. Most importantly, they will receive personal guidance from the sect leader and explore the way of the sword.

  In previous years, only three places were available for admission.

  This generation's strongest outsiders are undoubtedly Zhou Rou, He Wu, Fang Yu, Qing Lixun and Lan Yun!

  "Boss, it's time for the concentration period! The inner gate assessment is over, you're in!"

  In the medicine garden, Zhang Dageng looked envious and said, "He stood in front of him, Fang Yu's expression was cold and indifferent, and he nodded slightly, but in his heart, he had already burst into laughter."

  In the state of concentration, the mind and spirit are synchronized, with stronger control over the spiritual energy, possessing the effect of sword aura external emission, just like Tang Zhen in his heyday, relying solely on himself, he can completely sweep away hundreds of outer sect disciples.

  "What about Little Shidi? Where did he go?" Fang Yu asked after a moment of contemplation.

  "Recently I've been practicing swordplay and acquired dozens of Flying Swords with Array Patterns. Now, I'm in seclusion!" Zhang Dageng said with a strange expression.

  He sneered and muttered to himself: "Practice sword? Buy flying swords? Close the door? Does he also want to enter the inner gate? It's unlikely, his turtle-like cultivation is at most in the third layer of Qi refining. With his personality, he definitely won't let Zhou Rou and others enter the inner gate. Is he thinking of challenging?"

  After some thought, Fang Yu had no choice but to accept this outcome. After all, with 6th Chen's personality, he was really too familiar with it - a typical master who wouldn't suffer losses.

  "How can he challenge when his body has five spiritual roots and is unable to mobilize spiritual energy in the Qi Refining Realm?"

  He thought of the key point, but shook his head helplessly. He felt that he couldn't keep up with Xiao Shi Di's thinking after all, since that guy loved to play cards in an unconventional way.

  Zhang Dageng and the others were standing by, when they heard that their junior brother wanted to challenge, they twitched at the corners of their eyes and thought: Junior brother can't even use spiritual energy, what's the point of challenging?

  So they thought Lao Da must have guessed wrong!

  "Congratulations to Master Zhou for breaking through, Master is indeed exceptionally talented, and has entered the Condensation Period in such a short time!" Wu Gong said respectfully.

  Zhou Rou's face revealed a faint smile, relying on her senior brother's various elixirs, she finally entered the Concentration Period. Her hopes of entering the inner sect greatly increased. Of course, after entering the inner sect, what she most wanted to do was to slap that despicable person in front of everyone.

  Keep scratching until death, and then see who dares to stop me!

  "Congratulations, Brother He, you've also reached the fifth level of Qi cultivation. As an inner disciple, your prospects are very promising." Zhou Rou's eyes lit up as she looked at He Wu Dao.

  He Wu's eyes gleamed with self-satisfaction, but he still respectfully said: "Thanks to the glory of my sister, I'm lucky not to have disgraced her!" In his mind, a figure rose up, the one who had humiliated him time and again.

  In the outer gate, he relied on a group of poor disciples for protection, but after entering the inner gate, who dares to protect him?

  Is it okay?

  Hmph, Fang Yu himself is hard to protect.

  With an idea in mind, He Wu and Zhou Rou exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with inspiration.

  Time slowly passed by, and in the water pool, 6 Chen was completely unaware.

  After the Black Fish broke out of its cocoon, its cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Four months later, it made another breakthrough, entering the fourth layer of Qi Refining.

  In this realm, he sensed his own spiritual energy, and realized that the spiritual energy was as calm as the sea, but these spiritual energies were of different colors, entwining each other.

  At 6:00, I had a feeling that if I used spiritual energy, the sea would surge with huge waves and be uncontrollable.

  No wonder the body of the Five Spirits Root can't move or use spiritual energy in the Refining Qi Realm. It turns out it's like this.

  Wow!

  In the water pool, at 6 o'clock, he opened his eyes. His body was covered with a layer of light membrane under the protection of the water-repelling beads. Not far from him, the skull was buried by him, and a wooden sign was inserted on top, which read: "The tomb of Xuan Tian!"

  "Fourth layer of Qi refinement achieved!" A smile appeared on Chen's face.

  It's been two years since I started, but relying on my Five Spiritual Roots body, the most taboo physique for cultivating immortals, I forcibly broke into the fourth layer of Qi Refining. This achievement is something that even those with a Single Spiritual Root body can only look up to in awe.

  Of course, the hardships and bitterness in this process are known only to 6 Chen himself.

  So he has a feeling of relief after hardship.

  "Draw!"

  At 6:00, the left hand flashed, and a golden flying sword shot out. Under its spiritual control, it fluttered like a butterfly at the bottom of the water, but within a range of about ten meters.

  The flying sword's attack is entirely from the spirit gathering array on the sword. 6th rank assessment, each swing of the sword roughly takes place within the time it takes to practice Qi for three days.

  "Draw!"

  The second flying sword rushed out and entangled with the first one. Although the flying sword's attack was not strong, it had an advantage in numbers and attacked continuously without stopping!

  "I possess forty-nine flying swords, and even if I were to control them all with my divine sense, it would still be at the limit. However, relying on these trump cards, I can reach the Qi Refining Realm, or perhaps even the Condensing Spirit Layer, and then I wouldn't have anything to fear!"

  He roughly guessed it in his heart!

  "Zhou Rou, He Wu, your skills are better than mine, your potential is greater than mine, but you think you can enter the inner circle? Hmph."

  Under increasingly familiar circumstances, Liu Chen put away his thoughts and recalled the time when Hei Yu killed the Yao Snake, controlling three spirit symbols at once; he was thinking of trying it out now.

  Boom!

  A loud explosion sounded from the water pool, and a column of water shot up into the air, reaching as high as ten meters. The triple-layered effect of the spiritual symbols was truly astonishing - after all, this turbulent energy had burst forth from the bottom of the pool, a full hundred meters away.

  At the bottom of the water pool, a blurry scene unfolded. In one corner, 6 Chen lay on the muddy ground, his entire skeletal system seemingly scattered, with bloodstains at the corners of his mouth.

  "Three Water Bomb Symbols stacked together, the effect is astonishing! Wait, I forgot, I'm the main body, not Little Black Fish."

  One talisman is equivalent to a full-force attack of three layers of Qi, three talismans, and the power increases several times. Moreover, most outer door disciples can only control one, which is a defect in their divine consciousness. Only 6 Chen can do it once with three talismans.

  Of course, controlling three at once will inevitably make the mind more focused, which means that the spirit symbols will not be far from the body. As a result, the person who triggers the explosion of the spirit symbol will also be affected by the energy.

  This is a case of two losses!

  The little black fish scales are hard and nothing serious, but the 6th body exercise is not possible, and the farted urine flows.
