This should be the final test.

The pressure around Zhou Shu increased, as if the grass on the thatched house had grown much longer, and waves surged towards him, entangling him so tightly that he could not move. His hands and feet were bound, and it was difficult to move.

In breathing.

This feeling was so real that he suddenly felt that all this was not a perception, but a real existence. The thatch around him actually grew endlessly.

There are boundless thatches all around. They are as sharp as knives, and they cut each piece on the body. The pain is unbearable, but no scars can be seen.

Is this a magic trick, a formation, or something else?

Zhou Shu couldn't tell clearly, but his mind would never be affected by them and he would say things he shouldn't have said.

With the sharp blade attached to his body, Zhou Shu still straightened his body and said loudly, "Everything my disciple said is what he thinks in his heart, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Shen Wen stared at Zhou Shu, and after a while, he finally nodded, "Very good, it is really a blessing for the sect to have a disciple like you."

He put away the wooden sword in his hand, and at the same time, the thatch around Zhou Shu disappeared. What was even more strange was that the thatched cottage also disappeared.

The three of them stood on the top of the mountain without any cover.

As the thatch disappeared, Zhou Shu gradually stood firm. He was shocked and suddenly realized that it was not a real thatched house, but Shen Wen's sword intention.

He actually used his sword intent to this extent.

He was unable to release his spiritual consciousness and could only perceive it with his five senses. He could not see it clearly, but he never expected that such vivid grass was actually transformed into the sword intention. It was completely fake and real. Shen Wen's sword intention only took the form of an illusion.

Afraid of reaching the state of perfection.

He looked at Shen Wen in shock and was speechless for a long time.

"Do as you said before, Yunli."

Shen Wen did not explain, but said something to Yun Li, then sheathed his sword and stepped into the clouds, disappearing in an instant.

Zhou Shu stood there silently.

Those sword intentions are as real as they are illusory, containing not only spiritual power but also spiritual consciousness, which can affect people's hearts more than formations and magic formulas. If the mind is slightly unstable, it will be taken advantage of. Fortunately, Shen Wen's test will not exceed

It is within the scope of Qi Refining Realm cultivators, and Zhou Shu’s spiritual consciousness is far stronger than that of ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators, so he was not affected.

He looked at Yunli beside him, his face looking very bad.

He himself has been wronged. If he were to be treated like this, he would have exploded if it were anyone else. But he has been a man of two generations and knows that he needs to be patient at this time, so he remains calm. But there are many injustices in his heart.

He really wanted to ask why this was happening and whether it was necessary.

Yunli's expression was still calm, but the previous worries were gone, and a hearty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Fortunately, you didn't say anything against the sect, which made me worry about you for a long time."

Zhou Shu was slightly startled, "What will happen if I tell you?"

Yun Li's face suddenly became a little serious, "What do you think? You carry a huge secret that affects the life and death of the sect, but you also harbor resentment towards the sect. What else will the sect do to you?"

"The big secret..."

Zhou Shu recited a few words silently in his heart, then suddenly realized it, and his heart suddenly shook, "Didn't I make a vow to the inner demon about that matter?"

He suddenly thought that he did have a secret related to the life and death of the Heyin Sect, the secret realm of the Sand Sea, but he never thought of telling it, because the secret realm that only he could safely enter was even more secret to him. Even without an oath

It's impossible to tell others.

However, the sect did not know what Zhou Shu was thinking, and had been observing Zhou Shu closely, fearing that Zhou Shu would be resentful and leak the news of the Heyin Sect's secret realm to other sects, putting the Heyin Sect into dire straits.

No wonder Shen Wen was tested like this just now. Only Yunli could find him about this matter, and basically no one else knew about it.

Zhou Shu had never thought of this before, but now he was a little scared when he thought about it. If he had expressed resentment just now, he really didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"If the resentment reaches the extreme, some people would rather break their oath and die to say it. Fortunately, you are not such a person. Even if you are wronged, you still put the sect first. I believe that after this time, the sect will It will be of great benefit to you to value you more."

Yun Li nodded slightly, feeling quite pleased.

Zhou Shu was still a little confused, "Since you are worried about me leaking secrets, why didn't Elder Shen solve the matter earlier? Aren't you worried that I would leak secrets during this period?"

"You can't blame Elder Shen. He just returned to the mountain and came to take care of it as soon as he knew it. He didn't delay for a moment. This matter involves the Pulse Condensation Realm cultivator and Elder Shen. The other peak masters have no right to deal with it and can only wait for Shen. The elders came back, but they did not ignore them. For you, the three peak masters had countless arguments. If Peak Master Guo hadn't insisted on being loyal to the sect, I'm afraid you would have..."

Yun Li looked at Zhou Shu with a wry smile.

Zhou Shu nodded, knowing full well that in the end he was just an outer disciple. If he knew such a secret in other sects, he would probably have been silenced by the sects long ago. The oath of the inner demon is nothing, only Only the dead keep secrets.

The world of immortality is very cruel.

Yun Li continued, "Elder Zhao is still inside, Elder Yuan can't come out of seclusion, Elder Jin doesn't care about anything as soon as he refines the elixir, and only Elder Shen can solve it. It's been delayed for a while, so don't be resentful."

"That's it, I understand."

Zhou Shu nodded in understanding, "Now that it's passed, how will the matter be resolved? What does Elder Shen want senior brother to do?"

"You don't have to worry, the Heyin faction has clear rewards and punishments."

Yun Li smiled and took out a few things.

Zhou Shu's eyes immediately focused on those objects and he couldn't move away.

"Don't worry, what's yours will be yours after all."

Yun Li smiled, picked up a black armband and handed it to him, "This is a black light armband, a top-grade first-class one. It comes with two magic formulas. It is very suitable for body-training practitioners. You can experience it for yourself. It is absolutely everything." The value is better than many second-level magic weapons. By the way, this magic weapon was made by Liu Yi and is one of the sect’s treasures.”

Zhou Shu took the wristband and looked quite angry, "Liu Yixiu, what happened to him?"

Zhou Shu was very angry when he mentioned this man. He was even more detestable than Hong Yuan. Not only did he covet the material, but he also insulted Xu Lie.

Yun Li nodded, "It is a very bad behavior to embezzle a disciple's materials. Even though he is a Pulse Condensation Realm cultivator, he must accept punishment. His contribution will be deducted by three hundred thousand, three years of supplies will be deprived, and twenty During the year, you can only refine weapons for the sect and cannot take on business from other disciples."

The punishment is indeed very severe. I don’t know how long it will take to save the 300,000 yuan contribution. Moreover, with good skills, I can only do things for the sect and cannot help others refine weapons, which is equivalent to losing the biggest source of wealth.

Zhou Shu felt a little relieved, but still felt very sorry, "It's still not enough, it's too light. Does this magic weapon count as compensation? Senior brother, what about my bullying?"

Yun Li shook his head, "Qifeng, there is only one piece in the sect, and you have to rely on yourself to get it back. Although Hong Yuan used deceitful means, in the end, he spent spiritual stones to buy it from Liu Yixiu. Zong We can't punish him for this, but you have to understand that not punishing him is not because he is Elder Shen's disciple."

Zhou Shu nodded, with a calm expression, "That's fine, it's just what I want."

Yun Li praised, "Yes, what is lost must be taken back with one's own hands. This is the true meaning of cultivating immortality. If it is done by others, it will be detrimental to the original intention. When you are wronged, instead of asking for help from the sect, you directly ask the sect for help without any scruples. I admire him for his challenge, and even Elder Shen also appreciates it, so he is not going to stop you and let you have a fair competition."

Zhou Shu smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

Is it fair? Not fair.

But he will not complain about others. He knows very well that there is rarely such a thing as fairness no matter where he is. But in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as he is strong enough, he can strive for fairness, and even define what fairness is by himself. He looks forward to that One day comes, and I am sure that day will come.

"I know what you are thinking. This is unfair. Regardless of your level of cultivation, Junior Brother Hong has already taken a lot of advantage just by being a direct disciple. However, your cultivation environment is far inferior to him. You can't even take on tasks, so you can't delay it. Chores.”

Yun Li looked serious, "But what you did before deserves some fairness from the sect. If you want more, you need to work hard on your own. There is no need to complain. This is how every cultivator in the world of immortality comes to be."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Senior brother, I never complain."

"The token from Panyu Cave, six months, should be enough for you to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining Realm."

A token fell into Zhou Shu's hand.

Zhou Shu looked at the token and unconsciously shook his head and smiled bitterly. Most of the disciples dreamed of this thing, but it was of no use to him. With his Qi veins damaged, he could only practice with medicinal liquid. There was still one hidden in his storage bag, which he always kept. Never used.

Yunli didn't notice Zhou Shu's expression and pointed at the other two items, "You need to pick one of these two items."

A jade bottle and a spiritual grass with only one leaf.

Yunli opened the jade bottle, and Zhou Shu couldn't help but be slightly startled, "Foundation Building Pill?"

Inside the jade bottle lies an almost pure and transparent elixir, as blue as water, with a few ripples looming back and forth. It is not an ordinary thing.
