I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 257: Nirvana Ancient Ruins

“It’s useless to say all this now. The most urgent task is to select four foundation-building disciples to rush to the Great Xuan Kingdom and head to the ancient ruins of Nirvana.” Sect Leader Yue Huang said in a deep voice.

“That’s right, there are precious medicinal materials for forming elixirs hidden in the Nirvana Ancient Ruins. It is even said that there are medicinal materials deep inside that can help people break through the elixir and become infants, and help Yuanying cultivators increase their skills. Unfortunately, except for Xuantian Pavilion and the five major immortal cultivation families of the Great Xuan Kingdom, other forces have no chance to enter the depths.

However, even so, the medicinal materials for forming the elixir are extremely precious, and this great opportunity must not be missed. Two hundred years ago, the Blood Blade Sect of Yue State had a burst of luck, and four of the eight people who entered successfully formed the elixir soon after they came back.

It was because of the trip to the ancient ruins of Nirvana two hundred years ago that the Blood Sword Sect became the largest sect in Yue State. We only have four places this time, so we must treat it seriously and pick the most suitable disciples to seize the opportunity. "Xiao Hongyi said solemnly.

“I don’t think there is anything to be picky about. Everything is still decided by strength. Among the foundation-building disciples, whoever is stronger will go.” Qiu Dongyan, the master of the Transmission Hall, said calmly.

"That's right. To seize the opportunity, you naturally need strong strength. Everything is still determined by strength." Xing Zhan, the Lord of the Guardian Hall, immediately agreed with a sonorous and powerful voice.

Everyone had a subtle expression and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Their disciples, Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang, are recognized by Qingyuan Sect as the strongest cultivators who have achieved perfection in the foundation-building stage.

In the same realm, invincible within the door.

According to what they said, there were only four places, and two of them were locked up at once.

The remaining people have to compete for two places, which is extremely difficult.

"This is good, it's fair!" Yue Huang spoke after a long time.

“Then we will gather all the disciples who have completed their foundation building and have them fight in the fighting arena the day after tomorrow,” said Qiu Dongyan.

“Why are you only summoning disciples who have completed the foundation building? Can’t other foundation building disciples be included?” Zuo Dongge raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There are only four spots available this time, and even for disciples who have reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, it is extremely difficult to compete for them. Cultivators below the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage have no chance at all, and letting them participate in the competition is just a waste of time.

Junior Brother Daoming is indeed powerful, but he is only at the initial stage of foundation building after all. Do you still expect him to stand out among the many disciples who have perfected their foundation building and win a place?" Qiu Dongyan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer.

“Yes, Senior Brother Zuo, Junior Brother Daoming is definitely very capable. In time, he will surely be the most outstanding figure among the disciples who have achieved Perfect Foundation Establishment. But now he is still young, and he is still a little short of it if he wants to compete with the other disciples who have achieved Perfect Foundation Establishment and compete for a spot.” Xing Zhan echoed.

Upon hearing this, many elders nodded in agreement.

Only a few people including Sect Leader Yue Huang, Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiao Hongyi and Elder Luo Qian had subtle expressions.

"Ten years ago, Daoming was only in the early stage of foundation building, but he defeated a disciple in the late stage of foundation building. Now he is in the middle stage of foundation building. Why can't he stand out among the disciples who have completed their foundation building?" Zuo Dongge said slowly.

"Even if Junior Brother Daoming is now in the middle stage of foundation building, so what? The gap between the late stage of foundation building and the perfect stage of foundation building is not comparable to the gap between the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building?" Qiu Dongyan showed a look of humiliation and anger.

Firstly, she was inconsiderate enough and did not take into account that after ten years, Xia Daoming had made a breakthrough in his cultivation realm; secondly, the late foundation building disciple Fei Tingmei who was defeated that year was exactly her disciple.

Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded.

What Qiu Dongyan said is common sense and fact.

The expressions of Yue Huang and others became increasingly subtle.

Especially Luo Qian, the wrinkles on his skinny old face began to tremble.

“Okay, all foundation-building disciples are eligible to sign up for this competition.” Yue Huang made the decision before Zuo Dongge could speak again.

When Yue Huang said this, except for Luo Qian, Xiao Hongyi and Zuo Dongge who all understood, Qiu Dongyan who looked embarrassed and angry, the rest of them looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's good. Some disciples are too arrogant. It may not be a bad thing to take this opportunity to let them suffer a little." Qiu Dongyan took a deep breath and said calmly.

As she spoke, Qiu Dongyan glanced at Zuo Dongge intentionally or unintentionally.

Upon seeing this, Yue Huang and Xiao Hongyi looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

After the selection for the duel was agreed upon, everyone discussed some other matters and then dispersed.

"Tinghui, in the duel the day after tomorrow against Xia Daoming, you must defeat him with the force of thunder." In the elders' residence, Qiu Dongyan instructed Li Tinghui with a cold look.

"Master, rest assured. I wanted to teach him a lesson ten years ago, but Master thought that I was bullying the weak and that the victory was not fair, so I gave up.

Now that he is ignorant of his own limitations and wants to compete for a place in the Nirvana Ancient Ruins with his mid-stage foundation building cultivation, it is no wonder that the disciples suppressed him with great force." The tall and burly Li Tinghui spoke in a loud voice.

While Qiu Dongyan was instructing Li Tinghui, on the other side, Luo Qian felt complicated as he looked at his daughter Luo Mu, whose face was less arrogant and more strong.

In the battle ten years ago, Luo Qian was completely humiliated and was very dissatisfied and annoyed with Xia Daoming.

But seeing his daughter suffer that setback, learn from her mistakes and then become stronger, and in just ten years, her strength increased greatly and she had a little more hope of forming a golden core, Luo Qian felt that he had to thank Xia Daoming to some extent.

If it weren't for him, his daughter wouldn't be able to achieve what she has today.

"With your current strength, if there were eight spots in the Nirvana Ancient Ruins like before, you would have great hope. Now there are only four, so your hope is slim."

“No matter how slim the odds are, we must always fight for it.”

"Well said! However, in addition to the courage to not back down, a fight also requires strategy. This fight will be divided into two groups, using a round-robin system. Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang, who are recognized as the strongest seeded players, will not be placed in the same group.

The two of them already have fighting power comparable to that of the fake Dan cultivators. You can't be their opponent. And Xia Daoming, if you meet any of the three of them, you must admit defeat and conserve your strength."

"Xia Daoming?"

Luo Mu's pretty face changed slightly.

"You should understand now that the fact that he beat you twice ten years ago was not a fluke, nor was it because you underestimated him! The reason why a genius is a genius is that in the same amount of time, his progress will only be greater than others."

"My daughter understands!" Luo Mu's eyes revealed a look of loneliness and helplessness.

In the battle ten years ago, she was unwilling to accept it at first, but as time went by, the battle kept replaying in her mind, and she had completely understood that even if they fought again, she would never be Xia Daoming's opponent.

“You understand, but others don’t, and that’s your opportunity.”

Tianjian Peak.

"In the battle the day after tomorrow, you don't have to hide your weakness. You must get a spot."

Zuo Dongge looked at Xia Daoming with a rare serious expression.

"Don't hide your shortcomings, that's not good, right?"

The corners of Xia Daoming's mouth twitched.

Ten years have passed, and he has been eating the refined flesh and blood of level four monsters and many other precious medicinal materials every day.

Now, even Xia Daoming himself is not very clear about the level of his physical training and martial arts.

If you really don't want to hide your abilities, then the head master will have to take action personally.

"The Nieyan Ancient Ruins hide many precious opportunities. This is the only chance you have, so don't miss it. In addition to Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang, there are several other powerful characters. If you want to lock in a spot, you must show your true ability.

As for being in the limelight, it is not a big problem. As long as you have not formed a golden elixir, even if you are outstanding, it will not attract the attention of other high-ranking figures. I suppressed you before, just out of caution. "

"Well, since Master said so, then I'll just be a little more high-profile." Xia Daoming looked helpless.

As for saying that you don't hide your shortcomings, that is definitely not okay.

They are just some cultivators who have reached the perfect stage of foundation building. If he does not hide his incompetence and really slaps them, someone will be killed.

"Go back to your Chiyan Peak!" Zuo Dongge waved his hand.

What he hated most was that his disciple looked even more despicable than he was in the past.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the competition and selection.

There are a total of eighteen participants, divided into two groups. They will first play a round-robin tournament within the group, and the top four in each group will advance to the next round.

Among the eighteen people, except Xia Daoming who is in the middle stage of foundation building, the rest are all disciples who have reached the perfect stage of foundation building.

Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang, as the first and second seeded players, were deliberately separated into two groups.

The rest of the people drew lots to decide their groups.

Coincidentally, Xia Daoming was drawn to the group with Li Tinghui.

Also in the same group is Romu.

Luo Mu looked grim when he saw that he was drawn into the death group.

The rest of the group were all delighted.

A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building is obviously giving away points!
Li Tinghui was so happy that he grinned at Xia Daoming.

"Junior Brother Xia, you are very brave. Don't worry, I will be careful when I attack you."

"Just because of what Senior Brother Li said, I will definitely give you some face later."

"Haha! Thank you very much, junior brother." Li Tinghui bowed with obvious teasing on his face.

"No need to thank me. We are all fellow disciples and brothers. It's only natural." Xia Daoming smiled and waved his hand.

The people around shook their heads when they saw this.

It is rare to overestimate one's own abilities to such an extent.

This is Li Tinghui. In the entire Qingyuan Sect, except Shang Yiyang, who dares to challenge him, who else can be his opponent?
Soon, the fight began.

"The first match is between Xia Daoming and Luo Mu."

A Jindan elder called out the name.

Xia Daoming flew off the field.

"Luo Mu has been training outside frequently in recent years, and his strength has soared. Xia Daoming will definitely be completely defeated this time."

"That's for sure. His realm is there. I don't know where Xia Daoming got the confidence from. With his realm, he actually dared to compete for a place in the Nirvana Ancient Ruins."

"..."

As everyone was talking about it and preparing to watch a good show, Luo Mu in the stands bit his rosy lips, stood up abruptly, and bowed to the Jindan elder in charge of the competition: "This disciple admits defeat!"

"what!"

There was an uproar.

“Junior Brother Luo, your daughter is very unlike you to surrender without a fight. What’s more, Daoming is only in the middle stage of foundation building.” Qiu Dongyan turned her head and looked at Luo Qian beside her.

Luo Qian's skinny face trembled, and he smiled: "Senior Sister Qiu, I believe in my daughter's choice."

"This……"

Qiu Dongyan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she shook her head repeatedly.

Since Luo Mu admitted defeat, Xia Daoming had no choice but to return to the spectator seats.

The competition between the cultivators who have completed their foundation building is still very intense and pleasing to the eye.

Dazzling light illuminates the entire fighting arena from time to time.

The rumbling sounds came one after another.

Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang are indeed very powerful.

As long as they take the stage, the fight is usually over quickly without any suspense.

Most of the others were evenly matched and fought fiercely and hard. After a fight, both sides were often exhausted.

Not long after, Xia Daoming was called to play again.

Xia Daoming fought with his opponent for a long time before he defeated him.

But even so, it is still surprising.

Except for a few people, no one thought that Xia Daoming would win.

The defeated disciples were extremely depressed and annoyed.

He thought it was his own carelessness and Xia Daoming's luck.

After a short rest, Xia Daoming came on stage for the third time.

This time, Xia Daoming still dealt with the opponent for a long time, and then defeated him just right.

"He actually won again!"

In the spectator seats, everyone was shocked again.

"So what if they win? She Anzu and Ruan Han are not the strongest among all the disciples." Qiu Dongyan curled her lips in disapproval.

However, when Xia Daoming took the field for the fourth time and finally defeated Xiao Hongyi's favorite student Teng Chenghan after a hard fight, Qiu Dongyan's face finally showed a trace of solemnity.

Fortunately, Xia Daoming defeated Teng Chenghan after a hard fight.

Her disciple Li Tinghui was able to defeat Teng Chenghan more easily.

Which one is strong and which one is weak is clear at a glance.

in the afternoon.

Xia Daoming took the court for the seventh time and finally faced Li Tinghui.

When the two men stood facing each other, the entire fighting arena suddenly became quiet.

It seemed that no one was paying attention to the fight between another group on another stage.

Seeing that Xia Daoming had not been defeated like himself, Li Tinghui had been holding back his energy and was ready to suppress Xia Daoming with lightning speed, so as to show his ability as the number one in Li Tinghui's group.

So as soon as he made a move, Li Tinghui used all his strength to activate his Tianluo Stone.

In just a moment, pieces of stone that were shining with yellow light and gave people an extremely heavy feeling filled the sky, sealing the entire fighting arena, leaving Xia Daoming nowhere to escape.

The golden stones fell rapidly like stars, causing turbulence in the space.

In the spectator seats, a disciple turned pale when he saw the enormous power of the golden stone group. Only then did he realize that Li Tinghui had not used his full strength when fighting him just now.

"Ting Hui's magic power is really strong. Even if I want to deal with such a large-scale and powerful attack, it will take some effort!" An elder in the early Jindan stage said to Qiu Dongyan.

"Junior Brother Wan, you're too kind." Qiu Dongyan waved her hand with a smug look on her face.

Before Qiu Dongyan finished speaking, a little green light shot up into the sky.

The green light turned into green bamboos.

The branches and leaves of the black bamboo stretched out, like green silk ribbons wrapping around the rapidly falling stones.

The stone got entangled and its fall was slowed down.

Xia Daoming, who was covered by a sky full of gold and stones, dodged the falling gold and stones with ease.

Li Tinghui's expression changed slightly.

But soon he gritted his teeth and urged the Tianluo Stone even more frantically.

The golden stones fell down more and more densely.

Xia Daoming shook his head upon seeing this.

Originally, Li Tinghui had powerful magic power, comparable to that of a fake elixir cultivator, but he was only at the middle stage of foundation building in Qi training. If Li Tinghui slowly dealt with him, relying solely on Qi training, even with the help of a powerful spiritual consciousness, it would be difficult for Xia Daoming to defeat him, and he would have to display some body training martial arts.

As a result, Li Tinghui was too confident and brave. Seeing that the situation was not right, he still insisted on suppressing him with great force. However, he had a strong spiritual sense and was best at accurately using the method of using little force to achieve a great result to deal with others slowly.

Li Tinghui will soon become exhausted if he continues to fight like this, and then Xia Daoming will be able to defeat him directly without having to use his physical training martial arts.

However, most people in the spectator booth didn’t think so.

They all thought that Xia Daoming could not withstand Li Tinghui's bombardment.

Because under the overwhelming metal and stone, even if Xia Daoming used nine thousand-year-old black bamboo swords to slow down the speed of the metal and stone, under the massive offensive, it still looked like a small boat in the stormy waves, and the danger of the boat being destroyed and people being killed could occur at any time.

Only a few people, such as Xiao Hongyi, believed that Li Tinghui's reckless advance gave Xia Daoming a chance to win.

However, in terms of chances of winning, they still prefer Li Tinghui.

After all, Li Tinghui's strength is already on par with that of the fake elixir cultivator.

Li Tinghui is indeed very powerful.

Strong magical power.

He bombarded Xia Daoming for nearly half an hour, but he was still full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.

Xia Daoming, on the other hand, took advantage of the branches released by the Black Bamboo Sword to buy time to dodge left and right, with disheveled hair, and seemed a little embarrassed.

"I have to say, Daoming is very good at dodging and saving his life. He can actually hold on for half an hour." Qiu Dongyan said while deliberately glancing at Zuo Dongge.

"He is indeed very strong, but it is futile to keep dodging like this. He will eventually be defeated. In this case, we might as well fight him vigorously. At least we will be like men!" A Jindan elder shook his head with a hint of disdain on his face.

"Yeah, if we have to lose, we have to lose spectacularly. That would be too cowardly." Another Jindan elder spoke up and agreed.

"Bullshit! If you try to go all out, you will definitely fail. Why don't you just lie there in cowardice and look for opportunities? At least you will have a chance to win. All of you are Jindan elders, but you are not as clear-sighted as my disciples. I don't know where you are at your age." Zuo Dongge rolled his eyes and scolded him bluntly.

“Senior Brother Zuo, you can’t say that. The truth is that Daoming has no hope of winning at all.” Seeing this, the Lord of the Guardian Hall, Xing Zhan, came out to smooth things over.

"Which eye of yours saw that Daoming had no hope of winning? Isn't he fine now? As long as he hasn't admitted defeat, he still has a chance of winning."

"Okay, Junior Brother Xing, don't compete with him now. Wait until Ting Hui wins, and then see what he has to say!" Qiu Dongyan glanced at Zuo Dongge with a cold face.

Another half hour passed as Li Tinghui bombarded and Xia Daoming dodged.

Xia Daoming was still the same, with disheveled hair and a disheveled look.

Li Tinghui no longer had the calm look he had before. Sweat began to appear on his forehead and his breathing became heavy.

But Li Tinghui didn't believe it.

His magic power is comparable to that of a fake elixir cultivator. I don't believe that he can't suppress a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building!
Another hour passed.

After the sun gradually sank into Qingyuan Mountain, everyone else's game had ended, leaving only Xia Daoming and Li Tinghui still in a stalemate.

On the viewing stand, Qiu Dongyan had an ugly look on her face.

Many Jindan elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never thought that Xia Daoming could hold on for so long under such a massive attack.

Now, Li Tinghui is clearly showing signs of being at the end of his strength. If things go wrong, he might be in trouble.

Even if the boat didn't capsize, he had consumed so much energy that the chances of losing the next match with Romu would be very high.

Because of this competition, only a quarter of an hour of rest is given in the middle.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Suddenly, a wind blew up clouds and mist, covering the fighting field.

Suddenly, a sharp green light flashed in the clouds, as if a dragon lurking in the clouds suddenly stretched out its ferocious claws.

At the same time, a hazy light shone out and fell on the magic weapon surrounding Li Tinghui.

Li Tinghui's defensive magic weapon paused slightly, and the sharp green light penetrated through the gap with incredible precision.

"Senior Brother Tinghui, you lose."

A calm voice sounded.

The clouds cleared.

A flying sword shrouded in green mist was pressed against Li Tinghui's neck.

It was the Qingyun Sword that Zuo Dongge used in his early years.

After fighting with Li Tinghui for more than two hours, Xia Daoming, relying only on his cultivation in Qi Refining, finally found an opportunity while Li Tinghui was exhausted and used the Xuanmeng Mirror and Qingyun Sword at the same time.

Defeat the enemy with one move.

The entire fighting arena was in dead silence.

Not to mention the other Jindan elders, even Zuo Dongge was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover.

Others don't know, but his disciple also has the ability to cultivate physical skills and practice martial arts, and his master knows it very well.

He originally thought that Xia Daoming would eventually use his hidden martial arts to turn defeat into victory.

As a result, this guy defeated Li Tinghui without even using his physical training martial arts.

"I lost, I actually lost!" Li Tinghui was dazed and unable to accept that this was true.

Qiu Dongyan's expression changed from cloudy to bright, and it took a long time for her to return to normal. She said, "Winning and losing are common in the military. We will win him back tomorrow."

"Yes, Master!" Li Tinghui knelt on one knee.

Another hour passed.

The result of Xia Daoming's group's competition has finally been settled.

Xia Daoming won all eight games and ranked first.

Li Tinghui, Luo Mu and Teng Chenghan tied for second place, all having lost two games.

Luo Mu was lucky enough to take advantage of the situation. In the last match, he faced Li Tinghui, who was at the end of his strength, and defeated him. In the end, he only lost to Xia Daoming and Teng Chenghan.

A total of eight people from the two groups advanced, and the final four places would be decided the next day.

The next day.

Li Tinghui's first battle was against Shang Yiyang.

Li Tinghui actually admitted defeat directly, causing an uproar among the crowd.

But soon, everyone understood.

Li Tinghui wanted to retain his strength, defeat Xia Daoming, and wash away yesterday's shame with blood.

In the third battle, Li Tinghui got his wish and faced Xia Daoming.

This time, Li Tinghui changed his fierce tactics of bombarding yesterday and made full use of the advantages of earth-based defense to fight with Xia Daoming. He didn't believe that with his strong magical power, as long as he didn't rush, he couldn't defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

Li Tinghui's magical power is indeed strong.

After all, Xia Daoming's level of Qi training was too far behind him, so he could not defeat him.

In desperation, seeing that the time was almost right, Xia Daoming had to be a little more high-profile.

He used magic to restrain the opponent, then took out the Xuanlong Spear and rushed out like a cannonball, breaking into the gap in Li Tinghui's defense with lightning speed.

The seemingly thick earth wall collapsed with a bang under the Xuanlong Spear.

The tip of the gun was against Li Tinghui's neck.

In the spectator seats, almost everyone stood up subconsciously, with shock written all over their faces.

Even the Jindan elders such as Luo Qian and Xiao Hongyi, who already had some idea in their minds, couldn't help but stand up.

Only Zuo Dongge raised his butt slightly, then sat back in his seat with an expression of disapproval on his face.

"Blood Sea! He must have created a blood sea!"

A Jindan elder couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, his physique and strength are so powerful, he must have opened up a sea of ​​blood. Moreover, his sea of ​​blood is already very powerful. The power that bursts out instantly is comparable to that of a fake pill cultivator." Xing Zhan narrowed his eyes with a sharp gaze.

Zuo Dongge still sat in his seat calmly, with the corner of his mouth curled up in disapproval, as if this was nothing at all.

"Senior Brother Tinghui, I'm sorry, you lost again!" Xia Daoming bowed to Li Tinghui.

Li Tinghui, who was in a trance, suddenly woke up and looked at Xia Daoming with complicated eyes.

"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother. I accept defeat sincerely." After a long time, Li Tinghui's complicated eyes gradually calmed down, and he bowed solemnly to Xia Daoming.

“He can stand so high and recover so quickly after falling. This boy Ting Hui is expected to go further than our master brother in the future.” Upon seeing this, Zuo Dongge suddenly sat up straight and commented in a serious manner.

"Zuo Dongge, do you really think so?" Qiu Dongyan's face changed slightly, and she looked at Zuo Dongge with a complicated look.

"Practicing cultivation is not only about cultivating magic power, but also about cultivating the mind. 'Wan Yue Jue' is difficult to practice, progress is slow, and it tests one's Tao heart the most. If one's Tao heart is unstable and shaken, one will inevitably fail. This boy has a better character than you. He can accept defeat calmly and recognize his own shortcomings. Unlike you, after so many years, you are still competing with me." Zuo Dongge glanced at Qiu Dongyan and said calmly.

Qiu Dongyan's face changed several times when she heard this. Finally, she took a deep breath, turned her head and ignored Zuo Dongge.

"I think Xia Daoming doesn't need to compete next. Let him take a spot directly, and the others can continue to compete." Xiao Hongyi suddenly suggested.

“That’s right, he is already too dazzling. He needs to restrain his brilliance appropriately so as not to attract the attention of other forces too early. After the trials, fellow disciples, please remember to remind the disciples not to spread the news about Xia Daoming defeating Li Tinghui.” Yue Huang said with a serious face.

"Yes, Master Brother." The Jindan elders responded one after another.
-
"From the opening of the Nirvana Ancient Ruins, the danger level is not high, but the opportunities hidden inside are great. Therefore, every time the Nirvana Ancient Ruins are opened, all the major forces flock to it, wishing to get a few more places.

However, the so-called danger level is not high, it is only relative to the great opportunities in the ancient ruins. Many outstanding disciples always die there. Therefore, even if you are outstanding, you must not be careless.

Especially remember that if you encounter a Jindan cultivator from the five major immortal cultivation families of the Great Xuan Nation, stay as far away from them as possible and do not come into contact with them."

A few days later, at Tianjian Peak, in the back hall of the Elders' Mansion, on the lawn beside the pond, Zuo Dongge looked at Xia Daoming and gave him serious instructions.

"Aren't only cultivators below the Golden Core stage allowed to enter?" Xia Daoming raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of doubt on his face.

"That's what they say, but the Jindan cultivators from Xuantian Pavilion and the five major cultivation families of the Great Xuan Kingdom can use the Concealing Heaven Spirit Talisman to conceal their Jindan aura, sneak into the Nirvana Ancient Ruins."

"The Heaven-Hidden Talisman? There is actually such a talisman! Don't other forces have such a talisman?"

"No, this talisman is not only extremely difficult to refine, but also requires a special spiritual wood, the Heaven-Hidden Wood. There is only one tree of this wood growing on Tianmin Peak of Tianxuan Pavilion, and only Xuantian Pavilion can refine it.

Every time the ancient ruins of Nirvana are opened, Xuantian Pavilion will take out ten talismans to conceal the sky, keep five for itself, and distribute the remaining five to the five major immortal cultivation families of the Great Xuan Kingdom, which have a deep relationship with Xuantian Pavilion.

As for the immortal cultivation forces of the other six countries in the Great Xuan Realm, not only do they not receive such treatment, but they are also subject to strict regulations for the places to enter the ancient ruins.

Because of some changes that happened to our Qingyuan Sect in the past two hundred years, our strength has declined significantly. We only got four places this time, while Xingyue Sect and Changhe Sect each got eight places."

Speaking of the latter part, Zuo Dongge's expression became somewhat gloomy and ugly.

"The strength of my Qingyuan Sect has declined significantly. Is it related to the injury of our master?" Xia Daoming looked at Zuo Dongge and said thoughtfully.

Zuo Dongge looked at Xia Daoming, a look of surprise flashed across his face: "You are very smart. Not only was I injured that time, but one of the two Yuanying ancestors of my Qingyuan Sect, who was also your master, was killed by a demon."

"Is it related to the five major immortal cultivation families of the Great Xuan Kingdom?" Xia Daoming lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked.

Zuo Dongge's short body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he looked at Xia Daoming with amazement.

"You, boy, really exceeded my teacher's expectations!"

"It's nothing, actually. Master just pointed out that we should beware of the Jindan cultivators from the five major cultivation families of the Great Xuan Nation. Obviously, we must have a grudge against the five major cultivation families. Otherwise, why would a Jindan cultivator go against a foundation-building cultivator?"

"The one who really has a grudge against my Qingyuan Sect is the Qi family of the Great Xuan Nation, and the other four immortal cultivation families are not happy to sit back and watch the rise of our immortal cultivation forces and threaten their status, so they will suppress us when they have the chance.

However, Xuantian Pavilion does not want the five major immortal families of the Great Xuan Kingdom to become too powerful. Therefore, although it has a deeper relationship with the five major immortal families, it has to rely on the immortal forces of the six countries such as Daliang Kingdom and Yue Kingdom to balance the five major immortal families of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

In short, the immortal cultivation forces of the seven countries in the Great Xuanyu are intricate and not as simple as they seem on the surface. You will naturally understand these things slowly after you have experienced more.

Now you just need to remember that when entering the ancient ruins, the most important thing to be wary of is the Qi family of the Daxuan Kingdom, and don't try to enter the restricted area deep in the ancient ruins.

It is said that there are level 5 monsters lurking there, whose strength is comparable to that of Yuanying ancestors. Even if a Jindan cultivator goes in, he will die if he is not careful. So even if you have the strength of a Jiadan cultivator, going to the restricted area is a dead end."

Speaking of the latter part, Zuo Dongge looked extremely serious.

"Are there any medicinal herbs in there that can help people break through the elixir and become infants, and are there any that Nascent Soul cultivators want? The real target of the Golden Core cultivators from Xuantian Pavilion and the five major immortal cultivation families of the Great Xuan Kingdom is that restricted area?" Xia Daoming asked, his heart slightly moved.

"That's right, but it has nothing to do with you. It is said that the entrance to the restricted area is inaccessible without Jindan strength, and every time the Jindan cultivators enter, more than half of them are killed.

Therefore, your goal is to find opportunities outside the restricted area. There are many opportunities hidden outside the Nirvana Ancient Ruins. If you are lucky, you will have enough opportunities to use. "

"Disciple understands." Xia Daoming nodded, but his mind was working rapidly.

With his strength, since he has the opportunity to enter the ancient ruins of Nirvana, how could he miss the opportunity in the restricted area?
But it is not appropriate to reveal it to Zuo Dongge now.

"When you enter the Nirvana Ancient Ruins, your master has two things to give you for protection. One is the Dark Yin Thunder. Once it is activated and explodes, it can be comparable to the full-strength attack of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
One is the Jinwu Guard Spirit Armor Talisman. This talisman is a broken one and can only be activated twice. It can withstand two attacks from late Jindan cultivators.

Originally, your master has a small teleportation talisman that can help you escape, but the space of Nirvana Ancient Ruins is special, and the small teleportation talisman cannot be used inside.

It's a pity that your Qi Refining Realm is too low, and your magic power is not enough to support the magic weapon. Otherwise, with your powerful spiritual consciousness, I could have given you another magic weapon, so that you would have an extra trump card to fight for opportunities."

As Zuo Dongge spoke, he took out a black bead the size of a pigeon egg and a talisman that emitted a dark golden light and was painted with extremely ancient and complex runes.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master! Don't worry, I will not let you down." Xia Daoming took the Ming Yin Thunder and Jinwuwei Spirit Armor Talisman with both hands, his expression solemn and he was moved.

He is very powerful, so these two items are not that precious. But for other cultivators who have completed the foundation building stage, or even cultivators in the early and middle stages of the golden elixir stage, they are extremely precious life-saving items.

"You are even more cunning and treacherous than some old guys. To be honest, there is nothing for your teacher to worry about or tell you anything. Just be careful in everything you do. Go, and make good preparations while there is still some time." Zuo Dongge waved his hand.
-
A month later.

A giant python covered with dark scales as big as a bowl and with a pair of wings, rolled up the clouds and rose into the sky from Qingyuan Mountain, flying towards the north, in the direction of Daxuan Kingdom.

This giant python is named Yingmang.

The descendant of the ancient ferocious beast.

On Yingmang's back, there were four men and one woman sitting cross-legged.

They are Xiao Hongyi, the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Xia Daoming, Li Tinghui, Shang Yiyang and Tong Li who participated in the trip to the ancient ruins of Nieyan.

Tong Li is the direct disciple of the headmaster Yue Huang.

Xiao Hongyi's disciples Teng Chenghan and Luo Mu were ultimately inferior in strength and failed to get a place.

"Gongqiu Mountain is ahead, where we will meet up with people from Xingyue Sect and Changhe Sect. In Daliang Country, although there are conflicts and disputes between our three major sects, you must remember that none of our three major sects can independently support Daliang Country, and we are all in danger.

Therefore, when dealing with external forces, the three major sects have always been united and will not allow other countries' forces to have the opportunity to defeat them one by one and try to dominate our Daliang country. The same is true for this trip to the Nirvana Ancient Ruins. Once inside, the disciples of our three major sects must be united in facing the outside world and not kill each other.

Of course, we must be on guard against others. We should not trust anyone except our own fellow disciples. Especially when it comes to interests, we should be more vigilant and not become someone else's prey without knowing it."

Ying Mang was flying through the clouds and fog when Xiao Hongyi suddenly pointed to a mountain covered with yellow trees more than ten miles away and gave instructions to everyone.

"By the way, Daoming, from now on, don't mention your master's name to anyone." As Ying Mang flew closer to Gongqiu Mountain, Xiao Hongyi suddenly remembered something and specifically reminded Xia Daoming.

"Could it be that my master has many enemies outside?" Xia Daoming blurted out.

"I can't say that he has many enemies, but your master is so popular that he has offended many people."

"Alas, my master loves to show off too much! As a result, I, as his disciple, am not only targeted and bullied everywhere inside the mountain gate, but also outside the mountain gate." Xia Daoming shook his head and sighed helplessly.

The three people standing behind Xia Daoming couldn't help but twitch their faces when they heard this.

Li Tinghui, in particular, was in tears.

It's obviously you who bullied us, okay?
"Hehe, there are mountains outside mountains and people outside people. The outside is different from the inside of the mountain gate. You'd better take it easy, kid. It's best not to mention your master's name." Xiao Hongyi reminded helplessly.

He never dreamed that this kid would be even more popular than Zuo Dongge when he was young.

"Uncle Master, don't worry. I'm only in the middle stage of foundation building. How dare I provoke others casually?" Xia Daoming looked humble.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky silently.

Yingmang was very fast and flew to Gongqiu Mountain in a blink of an eye.

At the top of Gongqiu Mountain, nine people and a giant eagle with green feathers and golden eyes had gathered.

Standing on Yingmang's back, the sharp-eyed Xia Daoming saw through the clouds and mist a familiar figure whose beautiful figure could not be concealed even by the loose white fairy clothes.

She was the charming woman whom he had met three times in Longyu Sea.

"Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been recently?" As Ying Mang rolled up the flying sand and rocks and slowly landed on the top of the mountain, a slightly sharp voice rang out.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Qian. I am very fine." Xiao Hongyi, Xia Daoming and the other three walked down the Yingmang, and bowed to a tall and thin man with a pair of unbroken eyebrows, whose clothes were embroidered with stars and who was standing in front of the people from the Xingyue Sect.

"These four are the outstanding disciples selected by Qingyuan Sect, right? Hey, why did you pick a disciple in the middle stage of foundation building? Could he be the descendant of Senior Huangfu?" The Jindan elder surnamed Qian from Xingyue Sect swept his eyes over Li Tinghui and the other three, and finally fell on Xia Daoming, with a look of surprise and unexpectedness on his face.

The Senior Huangfu mentioned by Elder Qian is the only surviving Nascent Soul ancestor of Qingyuan Sect.

It is no wonder that Elder Qian made such a guess.

The quota for the Nirvana Ancient Ruins is related to the prosperity of the sect. If Xia Daoming did not have a special identity, how could he give such an important quota to a disciple in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Haha, Brother Qian, you're overthinking it. How could Uncle Huangfu show favoritism in this matter of the quota? Although this boy is only in the middle stage of foundation building, he has a strong ability to respond, so we gave him a quota." Xiao Hongyi explained with a smile.

"I see." Elder Qian smiled disapprovingly, with the corner of his mouth curled up.

While Elder Qian and Xiao Hongyi were talking, the charming woman in white standing behind him, Yu Wenfeng, kept staring at Xia Daoming with disbelief in her eyes.

She remembered very clearly that when she first met Xia Daoming, he was only a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and he had gone deep into the northern depths of the Dragon Fish Sea alone.

As a result, only more than ten years later, Xia Daoming had not only reached the middle stage of foundation building, but he was also qualified to enter the ancient ruins of Nirvana.

Thinking back to the last time they met, Xia Daoming looked so miserable and helpless and said that his family was poor and he had to take the risk in the Dragon Fish Sea. Yuwen Feng couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Anyone who is qualified to enter the ancient ruins of Nirvana, could it be that he is from a poor family?
This guy was obviously playing a trick on her back then!

It's ridiculous that she still felt a trace of sympathy back then.

When Yuwen Feng was staring at Xia Daoming, Shang Yiyang, Li Tinghui and some male disciples of Xingyue Sect were looking at Yuwen Feng with burning eyes and a hint of awe.

"Just get to know each other and communicate with your peers." Elder Qian waved his hand towards Yuwen Feng and the others, then nodded to Xiao Hongyi, and the two walked aside side by side to greet each other and reminisce about the past.

As the two of them left, Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang were about to step forward to greet Yuwen Feng, but Yuwen Feng had already walked up to Xia Daoming and opened her red lips slightly: "Daoyou is really a hidden talent!"

"Senior sister, you are too kind. I am just a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. How dare I talk about hiding my abilities in front of you!" Xia Daoming smiled humbly.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Li Tinghui's mouth twitched involuntarily, and they looked at Xia Daoming with subtle eyes, which were a mixture of admiration and contempt.

What I admire is that this guy actually knows the famous Yuwen Feng.

What’s despicable is that this guy started pretending to be a pig again.

"Huh, you wouldn't dare?" Yu Wenfeng glared at Xia Daoming.

"Junior sister, do you know this man?" An imposing man in white walked up and glanced at Xia Daoming with disdain and a hint of hostility.

"Who I know is none of your business!" Yu Wenfeng replied coldly, then looked at Xia Daoming and said, "Fellow Daoist, may I have a word with you?"

"This isn't a good idea. We don't know each other very well, and I'm a married man. If you have anything to say, just say it here." Xia Daoming blurted out without thinking.

All the male disciples from the two major sects stared at her, wishing they could take her into their room.

This woman is obviously a beauty who brings disaster.

Xia Daoming didn't want to get into trouble because of her.

"You!" Yu Wenfeng looked at Xia Daoming, her chest surging with anger.

"This!" Li Tinghui and others were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that someone would refuse Yu Wenfeng's invitation.

Putting aside her temperament and beauty, this woman is not only recognized as the strongest among the foundation-building disciples of the three major sects, but she is also a red phoenix spirit, one of the best dual-cultivation spirits in legend.

It is said that important figures from the five major immortal cultivation families of the Great Xuan Kingdom and even the Xuantian Pavilion have sent people to the Xingyue Sect to act as a matchmaker for this girl.

It’s just that Yuwen Feng disagreed, and Xingyue Sect didn’t want the benefits to go to waste, so they kept dragging their feet.

As a result, now, Xia Daoming not only knows Yu Wenfeng, but also directly rejected her private invitation. How could Li Tinghui and others not be shocked and surprised?

"This junior brother is very self-aware. Very good, very good!" The dignified man nodded in praise of Xia Daoming, but anyone could hear the pride and contempt for Xia Daoming in his tone.

"I have always been self-aware, unlike my senior brother who has no self-awareness at all." Xia Daoming shrugged, glanced at the imposing man, then dodged and quickly hid behind Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang.

Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang looked at the man with an angry face, then turned back to look at Xia Daoming who was hiding behind them, and were speechless.

"Brother Li, Brother Shang, please get out of the way. I want to teach this kid a lesson and let him know his place." The imposing man had a hint of anger on his face. A powerful aura burst out of his body, causing a strong wind to blow all around.

Wu An is such a great man, how could he allow a mere disciple in the middle stage of foundation building to challenge him in person?
Xiao Hongyi, who was greeting Elder Qian, felt the movement over there, his face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look.

"Brother Xiao, let the younger ones make trouble if they want to. We, as the elders, should not interfere. Isn't this how we went through when we were young?" Elder Qian turned his head to take a look, then said to Xiao Hongyi with a smile on his face.

Xiao Hongyi's expression changed several times, and he deliberately glanced at Xia Daoming from a distance, then nodded helplessly: "Brother Qian is right."

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Shang, this senior brother from the Xingyue Sect wants to bully the weak, you have to help me stop him." On the other side, Xia Daoming continued to hide behind the two senior brothers.

Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Wu An's strength is about the same as theirs.

Can he still bully Xia Daoming?

If a fight really breaks out, it would be good enough not to be bullied by Xia Daoming.

"Wu An, you can teach my junior brother a lesson, but you have to defeat me, Li Tinghui, first." Although helpless, Li Tinghui still took a step forward, and his tall and burly body stood proudly facing Wu An, like a towering mountain, standing still despite the howling wind.

Wu An looked at Li Tinghui, his expression changed several times, and finally he looked at Xia Daoming coldly, with a sneer of disdain on his lips: "Be smarter in the future, not everyone will protect you every time!"

"Senior sister, what exactly did you want to say to me just now?" Xia Daoming seemed not to have heard Wu An's warning at all. He walked out from behind Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang, looked at Yuwen Feng, and asked curiously.

"No!" Yuwen Feng said unhappily.

"Women are fickle. She just said she had something to tell me." Xia Daoming muttered softly.

Yu Wenfeng bit her teeth lightly and suddenly felt a little regretful that Wu An had not been able to teach this kid a lesson just now.

Probably more than half an hour passed.

The people from Changhe Sect flew through the air on a huge ship that was covered in silver light.

Changhe Sect has the same number of people as Xingyue Sect, also nine.

An elder in the late Jindan stage and eight disciples who have completed the foundation building stage.

The Qingyuan Sect only had four vacancies this time, and one of them was only a disciple in the middle stage of foundation building. When the three groups of people gathered together, the Qingyuan Sect looked obviously much shabby.

Yuwen Feng is indeed a beauty who brings disaster.

As soon as the people from Changhe Sect arrived, two outstanding disciples surrounded Yu Wenfeng and showed their courtesy, which made Wu An very jealous and felt like he was being cheated on. He soon had a dispute with the two outstanding disciples and even started a fight on the spot.

"A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. Why don't you two brothers go and compete for her? With your strength and handsome looks, you still have a chance." Xia Daoming crossed his arms and admired the fight between Wu An and Shen Xulong, the first of the second generation disciples of Changhe Sect, while casually asking Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang beside him.

Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang blushed slightly when they heard this, but said nothing.

"They have already fought for it!" Tong Li next to her said with a pout.

"So that means you have failed! Failure is okay. If you want to win the beauty, you must have perseverance and not be discouraged after failure. The more you fail, the braver you will be! Come on, two senior brothers. I am rooting for you!" Xia Daoming clenched his fist and made an encouraging gesture towards Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang with a sincere look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang's faces turned redder, and then they seemed to be touched. They looked up at Yuwen Feng with flickering eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Tong Li glanced at Li Tinghui and Shang Yiyang unhappily, then turned to Xia Daoming: "Junior brother may not know that Yu Wenfeng is not only beautiful and well-built, but also stronger than all the foundation-building disciples. She is also a red phoenix spirit. It will be very beneficial to cultivate with her as a dual cultivation partner. I think she seems to be interested in you. Why don't you try to win her over?"

"I already have two beautiful wives. I have no regrets in this life!" Xia Daoming said solemnly upon hearing this.

"Junior brother, you are truly a gentleman. It is a great honor for Junior Sisters Liu and Ji to become your Taoist partners." Tong Li stood in awe upon hearing this.

"No, no, I should say that I don't know in which life I got the blessing to marry both of them." Xia Daoming quickly waved his hands humbly.

As the two talked, Wu An gradually lost the upper hand.

Elder Qian frowned slightly and said, "Brother Xiao, Brother Tao, I think it's almost time, let's set off now."

"Okay!" Xiao Hongyi and Elder Tao of Changhe Sect nodded slightly.

Soon, the fight between Wu An and Shen Xulong was forced to interrupt.

A dragon, a giant eagle, and a large silver ship took off into the air and flew towards the direction of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

Fifteen days later.

Daxuan Kingdom, Huoyun Province, above the center of a large lake in the south.

There was a flame that stretched for hundreds of miles and was burning fiercely, shaped like a huge ancient mythical bird with its wings spread out, a fire phoenix.

From time to time, fireballs fell from the sky onto the lake, the lake surface boiled, and clouds and mist rose.

The blazing flames set against the lake and clouds, creating a beautiful scene like a fairyland.

Hundreds of people were suspended in the air around the area where the sea of ​​fire was.

The lowest level of these people is foundation building.

There were also many Jindan cultivators among them, and even the five people closest to the sea of ​​fire were Yuanying cultivators.

The robes of these five Nascent Soul cultivators fluttered in the wind, and they exuded an extremely astonishing aura.

Xia Daoming, Li Tinghui and three other Qingyuan Sect disciples surrounded Xiao Hongyi and stood in the crowd, looking up at the five Nascent Soul cultivators with a solemn look in their eyes.

The five Nascent Soul cultivators were all in the early Nascent Soul stage, but any one of them gave Xia Daoming an extremely strong sense of crisis.

“Ever since I opened up the boundless sea of ​​blood, I no longer feel much pressure when facing Jindan cultivators. Now, even when facing Jindan late-stage cultivators, I don’t feel much pressure.

But the five Nascent Soul cultivators standing far away gave me tremendous pressure from their auras. It seemed that there must be a huge gap in strength between the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.

No matter how powerful my blood sea is, it is still at the foundation-building stage similar to the Qi-refining stage. It can kill a Jindan cultivator by jumping one level, but it is still unable to cross the gap of the Yuanying stage, which is like a chasm. "

Xia Daoming looked up at the five Yuanying ancestors and pondered and speculated secretly.

"Fortunately, Yuanying cultivators cannot enter the Nirvana Ancient Ruins, and the best quality Concealing Spirit Talisman can only conceal the aura of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. With my strength, as long as I am careful after entering, I am not afraid of them."

Soon, Xia Daoming withdrew his gaze from the five Nascent Soul cultivators and looked thoughtfully at the ten Golden Core cultivators standing behind the five Nascent Soul cultivators.

Seven early Jindan stage cultivators and three middle Jindan stage cultivators.

When Xia Daoming looked towards the group of Jindan cultivators, an old man with red hair and a dove-like face was looking towards him, with murderous intent in his eyes and a sneer of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

This old man's name is Qi Shixin, and he is one of the Jindan elders of the Qi family, one of the five major immortal cultivation families in the Great Xuan Kingdom.

Yesterday, when Xiao Hongyi arrived with four people, this old man and the people from the Qi family showed their murderous intentions towards them without any concealment.

For this reason, Xiao Hongyi privately instructed the four people to be wary of the people from the Qi family.

In addition to the Qi family members, there are also the children of the Black Evil Hall of Yue State and the Seven Killing Sect of Dayan State, who are also very hostile to the Qingyuan Sect.

According to Xiao Hongyi, these two families have had major conflicts with the Qingyuan Sect in history.

However, the strength of these two families cannot be compared with that of the Qi family. There are only seven places available, and the most powerful one is only at the level of Li Tinghui. Once they enter and really meet on a narrow road, it is hard to say who will win. Xiao Hongyi just reminded the four of them to be careful and did not take it too seriously.

After all, I was mentally prepared when I entered the ancient ruins of Nirvana.

"After entering the ancient ruins, we must kill this red-haired old monster first if we have the chance. Otherwise, once Senior Brother Li and others meet him, they will surely die." Xia Daoming met Qi Shixin's gaze and smiled at him with a hint of weirdness.

When Qi Shixin saw that Xia Daoming actually had the courage to smile at him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon Qi Shixin's face darkened, and he had already memorized Xia Daoming's face in his mind.

As the old man and the young man, each with murderous intentions, the sea of ​​fire in the sky suddenly darkened.

"Take action!"

The five Nascent Soul cultivators looked stern upon seeing this, and with a low shout, a sword light burst out from each of them.

The five sword lights gathered together to form a giant sword claw, which reached into the sea of ​​fire, stirring and tearing it violently.

A dark space crack appeared, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding red sea of ​​fire.

PS: After I stopped updating in early June, I became weaker and weaker. My legs even shook when I walked up the stairs. I became as thin as an old man. I went to the hospital for a checkup and found that I had hyperthyroidism. The condition was already quite serious. The doctor prescribed hyperthyroidism medication, which slowly brought the index down. During the medication period, because of the decline in immunity, I had a fever three times in just over a month. I felt weak all over. Only then did I understand what it meant to be overwhelmed by illness.

After taking the medicine for about two months, the indicators finally gradually returned to normal, but regular check-ups are still required and the medicine must be taken for one or two years. The doctor said that even if hyperthyroidism is cured, it is easy to relapse after stopping the medication.

After the indicators gradually returned to normal, I wrote a little when I was in a good state, but I mainly focused on self-cultivation and did not put pressure on myself. Because once I was stressed, I would easily suffer from insomnia at night, and I was afraid that hyperthyroidism would start again.

Therefore, I will continue to relax in the next six months, write when I have time, and then publish a large chapter every month. I will save the extra chapters and use them when I officially restart the serialization in December. This way, I will have manuscripts saved and my writing mentality will be more relaxed.

I am almost 50 years old and I need to make money to support my family. I also need to take care of my health for my family. I hope my fellow book friends can understand. I also thank my fellow book friends for their messages, concern and support during this period.

There will also be a big chapter at the end of next month.

I wish all book friends a smooth life and good health!
