Ji Taoist

Just after Xiao Ran left Yan Mansion, he prepared more than a month's worth of dry food that night and quietly went to the top of Huangsong Mountain.

After entering the cave, he had his first exploration a few days ago. When he entered the cave this time, Xiao Ran planned to follow what the old man said, first get through the Niwan, and then practice to the first level of Qi training before thinking about it.

[The most important step in this journey of cultivation is also the first step, which is to get through the Niwan Palace! This Niwan Palace is the starting point for monks, and the most important thing is where the heel is. 】

"Heel? What do you mean?" Xiao Ran asked curiously, while digging a hole under the bed in the bedroom with a hoe and shovel, trying to enter the underground spiritual pool.

[A person's heel can include the value given to you by external factors such as your origin, surname, sect, etc.; of course, the intrinsic value is your talent. 】

"What about my talent?"

[Your heels and feet are okay, but five elements are missing. 】

Xiao Ran: "..."

Is it okay if the five elements are missing?

[I’m not a talker, your heels are very strange. You are a rare ethereal body in the world of spiritual practice. Although you do not have spiritual roots, you can innately absorb all kinds of spiritual energy and transform it into unique non-attributed mana. This kind of mana can It is adaptable to almost all the practice methods in today’s practice world. 】

"Huh? That means...my talent is also considered powerful?!" Xiao Ran's eyes lit up.

[Whether one is great or not, ultimately depends on the individual. Hehe, a dead genius is not a genius. 】

Xiao Ran's expression suddenly changed at the old man's meaningful warning, and he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.

Whether you are embarking on the path of spiritual practice or avenging your family, it is crucial to strengthen your own strength!

Xiao Ran sighed, dug a hole large enough to accommodate him, then tied a rope and rowed it from above to the underground spiritual pool.

The rich spiritual energy near the spiritual pool made Xiao Ran feel refreshed and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Is this the air that only monks can smell?"

[Hmph, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and meditate, and use the method I teach you to get through the Niwan Palace! 】

"good!"

This time, Xiao Ran didn't talk back to the old guy. Although he still didn't know his last name, Xiao Ran also had nothing.

Even if you are using yourself, it must be of value.

Therefore, Xiao Ran did not show the slightest concern that the other party might come to help with some malicious intentions. After all, if you can use the strength of the other party to quickly become stronger in a short period of time, then the future development of the situation will be full of possibilities, and no one can predict what will happen.

Maybe by then, Xiao Ran will not only be able to deal with the current predicament, but even be able to control the situation? Of course, this is just a hypothesis, but no matter what, Xiao Ran decided to seize this rare opportunity and go all out to improve his strength.

According to what the old man taught, after entering concentration, try to guide your own Qi to stir up the aura of heaven and earth!

Many mortal disciples of monk sects need to draw Qi into their bodies before taking the first step to become monks, because this is the most basic ability.

Similarly, judging from the length of time, you can tell who is more talented and who has better heels.

Talent is only a part of the heel. My heel may come from a family with a large family of monks, or there may be relatives in the sect to help, or there are other ways to shorten the time for introducing Qi into the body. What can you do?

Therefore, the monk sect does not care about the talent of its disciples. If the talent is really good, people will come to snatch it up. However, people with good foundation will naturally be treated very differently from other disciples.

But if they have neither talent nor skills, then they are just ordinary people.

Xiao Ran's talent is really powerful. He sensed the spiritual energy at night and successfully introduced it into his body and hovered in his dantian.

"I succeeded!!" Xiao Ran was pleasantly surprised. The moment the spiritual energy entered his body, he felt that his body seemed to relax a lot. It was too obvious that this feeling would eliminate fatigue.

[Don’t be too happy too early. Just compress the spiritual energy as I said. Once it reaches a certain amount, start sorting and guiding it, and then sprint towards Niwan Palace! 】

"good!"

In this way, Xiao Ran meditated here for a day and a night.

Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't seem to have any abnormality at all, the old man asked him to eat raw the leaf of orchid next to him to speed up the accumulation of spiritual energy.

[According to this progress, you can successfully open Niwan Palace in half a year at most! 】

"Will it take another half a year?" Xiao Ran was a little stunned, obviously feeling that he was full of strength.

[Hmph, nothing in this world is easy. You are quite talented. Think about those mortal warriors. How many of them can reach the realm of gods and humans in their lifetime? But a warrior in the Heavenly Realm is only equivalent to a monk at the first level of Qi Refining. Do you think it is equivalent? 】

Xiao Ran took a deep breath to calm down the restless emotions in his heart.

He lowered his head and reflected on himself: "It is true that ordinary warriors still need decades to practice their internal skills to a high level, but they can only be ten people against a hundred people. But monks and ordinary people are two different worlds. I am lucky. To step into this world, you need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and work steadily and step by step.”

[I hope you really think so in your heart. If you are eager for quick success and quick gain, if you fall into evil ways, someone will take care of you! 】

Xiao Ran took a deep breath, nodded and was about to close his eyes and continue practicing.

【not good! A monk is coming! They are cracking the phantom formation outside! 】

The old man suddenly yelled.

"Ah? Can you escape?!"

[No chance, a cultivator has some kind of forbidden accumulation tool and has discovered you. Boy, if you want to live, do as I say! ]

Xiao Ran's face turned pale. How could he not know what methods those cultivators have?

What's more, he was still in a fairy cave, maybe they thought he had taken the treasure!

At that moment, Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and hid all the things he brought, hoping that the other party would not find out.

Finally, he clenched his fist and punched himself in the chest!

"Ugh!"

[You hit the wrong direction, you can't faint like this! .... Ouch, I really admire you, you little brat, forget it, I'll do it myself! ]

While speaking, the ring on Xiao Ran's neck suddenly flashed a bright light, and the compressed spiritual energy in Xiao Ran's body suddenly ran around in the meridians in a disorderly manner, and Xiao Ran fainted directly from the pain.

"Hey, Senior Brother, is there someone here?"

It hadn't been two minutes since Xiao Ran fell unconscious when two figures appeared here. They were the two people from Qingshui Sect who were looking for the cave in Huangsong Mountain.

"Sure enough, an outsider arrived here one step ahead of time, but why is he a mortal?" Wang Tie frowned.

"Mortal? I don't think so. This kid seems to have just drawn Qi into his body. Maybe he has inherited the legacy of the owner of the cave here?" Long Yu laughed.

Wang Tie looked around, and a few orchids and a mud pit that had just been pulled out of the ground attracted attention.

Wang Tie smiled disdainfully: "I'm afraid he accidentally ate the spiritual materials on the ground, so he accidentally drew Qi into his body? Judging from the fact that there is no sign of refining the spiritual energy in his body, I think he will only live for one or two days at most."

"What should we do now?"

"It's about the treasures here. Let's wake him up first."
