Venerable Yuan

"Purple belt selection?"

When Shen Taiyuan heard Zhou Yuan's request, he couldn't help being stunned. He frowned and said hesitantly: "Purple belt selection is not an easy matter. If you participate now, it will be a bit hasty. point?"

In Cangxuan Sect, purple belt selection is a big deal, because purple belt disciples are the most elite disciples in the sect, and maybe the pillars of the sect in the future will emerge from this level.

Every time there is a purple belt selection, not only the peak leaders will attend in person, but even the headmaster will show up, and the standards are not low.

Therefore, if you want to be promoted to a purple belt disciple, even elders like Shen Taiyuan have no decision-making power. They only have the right to recommend disciples to participate in the purple belt selection. Only those who pass the purple belt selection can truly be promoted to a purple belt disciple.

The number of places in each purple belt selection is limited, so the competition for this selection is extremely fierce. The disciples who can participate in this selection are almost all the first among the gold belt disciples of each peak and lineage.

To be blunt, even though Wei Youxuan is considered the number one golden belt disciple among Lu Hong's lineage, if you look at the entire Cangxuan Sect lineage, he is probably not the top one.

Therefore, Shen Taiyuan felt that it was too hasty for Zhou Yuan to participate in the purple belt selection. However, with Zhou Yuan's talent and potential, if he could concentrate on training for half a year, it would not be difficult to pass the selection.

"Zhou Yuan, there are only ten places for the purple belt selection this time, but there are nearly a hundred disciples from all branches participating. The competition is extremely fierce." Shen Taiyuan sighed, trying to dispel Zhou Yuan's thoughts.

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Shen, I want to give it a try. Anyway, even if I lose, I won't suffer a loss, right?"

He was smiling, but his words were extremely firm.

Cangxuan Sect has two purple belt selections every year, and this is the second time. If he is absent, then at least this year he will not be able to become a purple belt disciple. In that case, the battle for the chief of Saint Origin Peak at the end of the year will also be held. There will be no place for him.

Although even if someone else gets the position of chief disciple, they may not be able to break through the seal of the main peak and obtain the peak master seal, but Zhou Yuan cannot take this risk, otherwise what if Lu Hong's lineage really succeeds?

When Lu Hong becomes the master of Saint Origin Peak, it will be quite disadvantageous for him to explore the second holy pattern.

Therefore, he must grasp the second purple belt selection this year.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's determination, Shen Taiyuan smiled helplessly and said, "You are such an impatient kid..."

But in the end, he could only sigh and nod, saying: "Well, if you want to, then give it a try. If you lose, just think of it as preparation for next time."

"And even if you lose, there is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, many disciples have gone through several purple belt selections and failed..."

He looked at Zhou Yuan and said: "In two months, the purple belt selection will be held. You must work harder in these two months and don't slack off in your training. I will recommend you to participate in this selection."

"Thank you Master Shen!"

When Zhou Yuan heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Shen Taiyuan shook his head helplessly, but there was some relief in his eyes.

When you are young and frivolous, if you don't even have this bit of energy, how can you attack the difficult and dangerous road of cultivation?

Anyway, since he wants to go, let's go, and... this little guy can always bring some unexpected results to people. What if... he really succeeds?

When the time comes to show his face in front of the headmaster, it will be able to make him have a long face that is almost forgotten. When new disciples enter the inner mountain next time, the headmaster can also assign some talented disciples. Arrive at Saint Source Peak.

...

Ziyuan Cave Mansion.

Compared with the previous Jinyuan Cave Mansion, this new Ziyuan Cave Mansion is several times larger in area alone. This cave mansion has almost hollowed out the heart of the mountain and monopolizes the source of heaven and earth energy in the mountain.

Inside the cave, a stream flows, and the sunlight penetrates from the top of the mountain and turns into countless spots of light, shining in the cave with dust flying around.

The majestic source of heaven and earth gushed out from the spring deep in the cave, turning into a thin mist, lingering in the cave, making the air extremely fresh.

The origin energy of heaven and earth here is also richer than that of the previous Jinyuan Cave.

In a corner of the cave, there is also a large medicinal garden, in which various exotic flowers are planted. These flowers breathe in the source of heaven and earth, filling the cave with a strange fragrance. That kind of fragrance can calm the mind and is also very useful for cultivation. There are benefits.

And since moving to this Ziyuan Cave Mansion, the one who is most satisfied is not Zhou Yuan, but Yaoyao.

She had a special liking for this medicinal garden, and even bought many seeds from the Linlang Pavilion. She planted them every day, and she lived a very leisurely life.

Deep in the cave, there is the source of Qi spring.

Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on the bluestone beside him, his eyes slightly closed. In front of him, a crimson crystal was suspended. Inside the crystal, there were light spots flickering, like the scorching sun, releasing an astonishing temperature.

It is the Jiuyang Crystal that is necessary for practicing "Tianyang Shenlu".

Zhou Yuan hugged the Nine Sun Crystal with his palms, as if he were mastering the sun and the moon. Wisps of golden origin energy rose up from his palms, constantly colliding with the Nine Sun Crystal, and then slowly polishing it like a stone mill.

Under the tempering of this Origin Qi, bits and pieces of Nine Yang Crystal powder fell, blending with Zhou Yuan's own Origin Qi, and the last wisps penetrated into Zhou Yuan's palm and sank into the Qi Mansion. .

The practice of Tianyuan Technique is quite complex. It requires constant fusion of several source materials with one's own source energy. They slowly merge with each other, trying again and again, in order to reach the point of balance and absorb the power of the source materials. The special source of Qi is stabilized.

And this step alone can cause many people who practice Tianyuan Technique to fail countless times and waste countless source materials. After all, every failure will consume source materials and their own source energy.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan possesses the "Barrier Breaking Sacred Pattern", so he can clearly distinguish the speed required for the fusion of various source energy, which allows him to save a lot of source materials...

However, if you want to truly imprint the mark of the Condensation Source Technique into the Qi Mansion, you still need time to hone it to achieve perfection.

call.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yuan's closed eyes finally opened, and he slowly exhaled a puff of white air.

He looked down at his palm and saw that the "Nine Yang Crystal" had shrunk by one-third.

"According to this progress, as long as nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to start condensing the Source Technique mark in a month..." Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the speed of his own cultivation.

He stretched out, all the bones in his body were crackling, and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the cave, he took a breath of comfort.

In the past ten days, he has been unusually low-key, and in his low-key manner, the attention and excitement caused by the previous cave test have gradually cooled down. After all, a cave test for a gold belt disciple is indeed not a big deal. Worth spreading.

Zhou Yuan also doesn't want to be noticed by many eyes at any time. He prefers to strengthen himself in a low-key manner...

However, he knew that in the past two days, the news that Shen Taiyuan recommended him to participate in the purple belt selection would be announced, and there would definitely be some news by then.

"Um?"

When Zhou Yuan stood up, he suddenly sensed movement coming from the entrance of the cave. With a thought, he sensed a figure standing in front of the cave, blocked by the barrier of the cave.

That figure, round and round, is naturally Shen Wanjin.

Zhou Yuan walked out quickly and came to the entrance of the cave. With a wave of his sleeves, the barrier dissipated.

When Shen Wanjin saw Zhou Yuan coming out, he came over with a smile, then took out a scroll from his sleeve and said: "Brother Xiao Yuan, what you ordered has been completed."

"This contains the information of all the disciples who participated in the purple belt selection this time."

As he spoke, he smacked his lips and said: "But these guys are not fuel-efficient lamps. They are basically the number one gold belt disciple in each lineage, and they are not inferior to Wei Youxuan at all..."

"So, Brother Xiao Yuan, are you really sure you want to participate?" He scratched his head and said with some anxiety: "As far as I know, in our Cangxuan Sect, it seems that disciples who have not been in the inner mountain for more than a month dare to The precedent of participating in purple belt selection..."

Zhou Yuan smiled, didn't say much, and just slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand.

Looking at the names and information revealed one by one, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"As expected, they are not fuel-efficient lamps."
