Chapter 1 I try
At the end of the fourth day of the early autumn, the cicada who was finally tired had just calmed down. At this time, it is the sweetest and quietest for ordinary people. If someone is disturbed by sleepiness at this time, they may be determined to hit someone.
Qiu Chan thought that she knew that she had not had much time, so she cried louder than in midsummer. Crickets should hate it very much. They all rely on their wings, so how awesome is that big?
The young man sat up from the bed as if there was a clock in his body that would never be missed for even a minute. He stretched his waist greedily, and then looked at his hard bed with special lingering tribute. Although it was just a bed made of a door panel and two stacks of blue bricks, it was already the most luxurious furniture in the house.
He put on his clothes seriously and took every button carefully. Not only because he felt that everything should be taken seriously, but also because he only had this set of clothes at the moment. He squatted down and tied the straps of the straw sandals, not loose or tight. This was a pair of new straw sandals, so he used three miles to adapt to it, ensuring that this was the most comfortable tie.
Then he tied his hair to the broken mirror, and the distance between each tooth of the comb tied with small wooden sticks in the pine tree was the same.
Well, this is an attitude.
When combing his hair in front of the mirror, he held a branch in his mouth that had already bitten out a lot of teeth marks.
Smile
radian
He made his smile look like spring breeze.
He would not let anyone see that there was hatred in his heart, nor would he make anyone feel that there was hatred in his heart. Then he smiled at himself in the mirror and said that all this was to get back what belonged to him. All the gloom and coldness were carefully hidden in the deepest part of the corner, and the place where the warm sun could not reach.
After calculating the time, it was time to go out. He walked out of the door with a missing door panel and lifted the shoulder pole and wooden barrel outside the door. Even with his eyes closed, he would not go the wrong way. He walked out of his door and went to the well in total, one step less than last year.
Because he was growing up.
For him, growing up is an amazing achievement.
Chen Xi was calculating silently as he walked. When he reached the 899th step, he began to laugh. He leaned forward slightly and said hello. Although the old man who closed his eyes and focused in the little forest ignored him as usual. Chen Xi did not think that it was meaningless to do this, nor did he think that the old man had not seen him.
This is Xiaomantian Sect, the most famous sect in Qingzhou.
Even if all the sects in the Nine Ya 81 Prefectures were included, Xiaomantian Sect was at the upper middle level. This old man was the dean of Qingwu, the Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect of Xiaomantian Sect. His name was Zhou Jiuzhi. Chen Xi didn’t know how high his cultivation was, but he knew that if he wanted to practice, it was necessary to approach this person.
And he must practice.
Chen Xi's pace was not slower, and he didn't take a look after it. He grasped the perfection and would not make people feel bored.
He needed to fill all the twelve large tanks in the martial arts field before dawn. The disciples of Qingwu Academy practiced their bodies in the martial arts field every day when the sun rose, and then bathed with the water in the big tanks. According to the rules, Chen Xi would leave before the disciples appeared, because he was just a small traitor. If he peeked at the disciples' practice, he would be beaten to death. The reason he had to fill the water every day was because those delicate disciples would never bathe overnight.
It has been almost a year, and Chen Xi is calculating the days.
It was the middle of winter last year, and it was now autumn.
He lifted water in the well, making the water not satisfied. This is the ultimate he can do now. If the water is full, he will splash out when he runs. The amount of the two buckets of water has been adapted to him, and he began to run on the path paved with bluestone, even focusing on running.
The place where he lands at every step is definitely the most stable place for this bluestone slab. You should know that the mountain road is not flat and the bluestone slab is not flat. If you accidentally step on the raised place, you may sprain your ankle and fall a full face. He passed by the path not far away from the old man again and again, but never looked there again.
Just as he passed by the 20th time, the old man opened his eyes slightly.
"It's a little older, a little bit of a pity."
He said in his heart, then closed his eyes again.
Chen Xi naturally didn't know what the old man was thinking. He only knew what he wanted to do. If he wanted to take revenge, he had to practice. Because his enemy was very powerful, so powerful that even if he just moved his little finger, he would die without a complete body. Status, power, and strong cultivation are the things his enemy has.
And he only has one thing... perseverance.
After filling all the twelve large jars, Chen Xi wiped the sweat from his head and started walking back. He walked a mile away from the martial arts field, took off his clothes and jumped into the deep pool to take a bath. This is the famous blue water cold pool in the Xiaomantian Sect. Even those who are third-grade rank dare not come down easily, because the water is indeed too cold.
Chen Xi dared, but he just dared.
Every time, he is worse than death.
But he told himself that he had to do so.
On the hillside, Zhou Jiuzhi frowned at Chen Xi who was almost fainted in the cold pond.
"I don't know what you are carrying. If you only want me to look at you with admiration, you will use your life to gain your life... Such a mind is not necessarily a good thing."
...
...
Chen Xi squatted on the stone and handed the roasted chicken wings to the disciples wearing green courtyard clothes. These prides of heaven were so proud that they would not care about Chen Xi's existence at all. In their opinion, Chen Xi was a person who appeared at any time and anywhere and Chen Xi would not disappoint them every time.
But even so, their attitude towards Chen Xi will not change. They will not beat, scold, or ridicule Chen Xi, because they do not have Chen Xi in their eyes.
Chen Xi is a mortal, and they are practitioners of Qingwu Academy...even if they are just the lowest level introductory disciples.
They had never paid attention to Chen Xi, but Chen Xi cherished the time he could pay attention to them every minute.
"You all know that next month's first day will be the annual exam. Only by reaching the fifth grade of foundation can you be eligible to take the internal exam. Those who have passed the internal exam can practice the Improvement Tower for three months. Don't just focus on eating, drinking and having fun. If no one of the students I teach enters the Improvement Tower, don't say that you are embarrassed, and I will lose my face."
Class A professor Ding Mei looked at her playing disciples a little disappointed. There were too few disciples in this class. I remember that when she was practicing in Qingwu Academy, there were several geniuses with seventh grade or above in the same class, including now he was shining in another place and has become a high-level teacher. At that time, he had already started the eighth grade before he entered the Improvement Tower.
The disciples laughed, and one of the young men with a cold face said, "I don't know them, but I won't embarrass the gentleman."
Show
Ding Mei glanced at his favorite disciple.
Among Class A, there are no more than five people who are qualified to improve the fortune tower. Among them, Ding Mei doesn’t have to worry about it is this Zhan Jing. He understands at the age of six, starts the foundation at the age of seven, starts the foundation at the age of fifteen, and starts the foundation at the age of eighteen, and starts the foundation at the age of eighteen. This speed of practice is dazzling enough to look at the entire Qingwu Academy.
"Neither can I."
The girl sitting next to Zhan Jing is named Shi Xueling. The younger generation trained by a big family like the Shi family in Qingzhou is naturally superior to others. Not only is she extremely talented, but she also has a very good appearance. However, she can understand everything from the look she looks at Zhan Jing.
Ding Mei smiled and said, "Don't swear, be careful I'll go back and adjust your seat."
Shi Xueling stuck out her tongue and reached out to hold the arm of the eyebrows: "I don't want it, no one can compete for a seat with me."
Zhan Qing pushed her hand away and turned her head to the side.
Shi Xueling was not angry either and smiled at Zhan Qing.
At the beginning, she gave Ding Mei a bottle of Qingshen Lu worth 100 gold on the black market, and then she exchanged for this seat next to Zhan Jing. Baijin is nothing to do with the Qingwu Academy, but Qingshen Lu is something produced by the Shijia Medicinal Food Shop, and it is not something that can be bought with money.
Although Ding Mei smiled, she was still very disappointed.
She is a woman who can't tell the specific age and always wears that dark blue teaching uniform. According to Chen Xi's understanding, Ding Mei is a woman whose life is so monotonous that she is boring. She gets up on time and eats on time every day, goes shopping, doesn't buy beautiful clothes or talks about her boyfriend.
Even the clear skin that Shi Xueling gave her was still placed in its original position and never moved.
The reason I know this is because Chen Xi did all the chores in Class A of Qingwu Academy. Although he had never entered Ding Mei's room, he could clearly see everything on her desk when cleaning the window, which was well organized. A woman who was so self-disciplined was actually not cute at all.
So Chen Xi decided that there was a story behind Ding Mei.
The reason why she helped Shi Xueling was probably related to her own story.
"There is no end to practice."
Ding Mei said slowly: "However, senior masters divide the realms of cultivation into the five realms and forty-five levels, and each realm has a ninth level. Being able to enter the Qingwu Academy is actually a recognition for you. In the past years, Qingwu Academy has never fallen out of the top three. The Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect, and Qingwu Academy is not the best, but you are the name of Qingwu Academy rather than Qingwu Academy, and you understand?"
Her words suddenly became a little colder, and the disciples immediately became solemn.
"clear!"
"The first realm is to establish a foundation. The most genius I know is to establish a foundation at the age of six and improve the fortune tower at the age of ten, and to establish a foundation at the age of ten. He had already left Xiaomantian Sect before he was fifteen. You are all very proud. This is a good thing, and practitioners should be arrogant. However, if pride is not proportional to strength, it is a joke."
Ding Mei said: "The thirty-six disciples of Class A, you are not as good as him."
"After opening the foundation, it is the Breaking Void, and above the Breaking Void is Lingshan, and above the Lingshan is the cave, and above the cave... is the whole world."
Ding Mei said: "If a practitioner has average qualifications, he will not be able to destroy the void even if he loses his life. He will eventually become a bodyguard for the wealthy family. You are all taller, but how many of them will not be as thin as paper? Fish are against the current, and the strongest is the leader. If the geese travel south, the strongest is the leader. If you have no victory or defeat in your heart, your life will be over. Even if you enter the Tower of Change of Fortune, you will not be able to change your destiny."
"Of you, only Zhan Qing, Shi Xueling, Zhao Wu, Sun Xianke, and Fu Dao have the opportunity to enter the Improvement Tower, one less than last year."
Ding Mei said: "If you miss one, it will delay the achievements of Qingwu Academy. Who among you can recommend yourself and feel that you have the ability to compete with the disciples of other academys?"
The students looked at each other, except for the five people Ding Mei said, everyone lowered their heads and dared not respond. You should know that no one held back in that kind of competition. If they couldn't beat it, it would not only be embarrassing, but also hurt.
"Oh... they are all spineless."
Ding Mei said excitedly, but no one spoke.
