Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 8 Xiao Chen will be forgotten by the crowd
"Could it be that you also picked up the Jade Color Ginseng like Lin Ping'an?"

Manager Chen recalled the low-grade wood spiritual roots recorded in Xiao Chen's information, and the first person he thought of was another lucky person.

Lin Ping'an from the Ninth Branch, after taking Zi Lanzhi at the first level of Qi Refining, happened to pick up a Jade Color Ginseng last month.

Relying on the medicinal properties to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, his luck is enviable.

But then, Manager Chen overturned this guess himself: "No, you have been in the sect recently and have not left the mountain. You shouldn't be able to pick up any treasures."

If outer disciples want to go down the mountain, except to carry out tasks such as digging spiritual mines, they need to obtain approval from the manager.

Xiao Chen chose to plant spiritual fields, as there were no natural treasures for him to pick up on this mountain.

Manager Chen asked softly, "You were practicing on your own and suddenly had an epiphany?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately nodded vigorously, indicating that Manager Chen’s guess was correct and this was the reason.

Manager Chen walked quickly to Xiao Chen's side, feeling his stable aura of cultivation, and marveled at it.

He remembered that this new disciple had chosen a yellow-level martial arts technique.

At that time, he mentally classified Xiao Chen into the category of insufficient qualifications.

After all, any cultivator with a bit of ambition will try his best to choose a better method, unless he really knows his own limitations.

I never expected that this disciple was actually a hidden genius, who had an epiphany while using the yellow-level technique.

He remembered that since the establishment of the Second Branch, the fastest record for breaking through the fifth level of Qi Refining was set by a genius cultivator with dual spiritual roots from the Lihuo Zhang family, who took seven months.

That talented cultivator also had smooth sailing and successfully established his foundation.

In the opinion of Manager Chen, Xiao Chen only took half a year to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, which was more than a month faster than the one with dual spiritual roots.

This speed is too astonishing. Considering that he has low-grade spiritual roots, he can only have comprehended some kind of cultivation tricks.

He directly pulled Xiao Chen's arm and said, "Come, stand in front with me and share with everyone the cultivation methods I have used in the past six months."

what?
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Let me share the method?

I don’t have any idea either.

"Well, what is it about increasing the speed of cultivation? Today I will tell you about this method of increasing the speed of cultivation..."

Xiao Chen was pushed in front of everyone to give a speech without any preparation. He made up his mind and started to piece it together.

He recalled some great truths from his past life and told inspirational stories.

The fellow students in the audience, however, listened with great interest.

They had never come across such inspirational stories before, and at first glance, they felt that it made sense.

"So we need to make good use of this 'fragmented time'. I was wondering why I often see Junior Brother Xiao meditating in the spiritual field."

"Every night before going to bed, I recall what I did that day. I examine myself three times a day. Is this the difference between me and Senior Brother Xiao? I've really learned something."

……

Jiang Sixuan looked at Xiao Chen who was talking incessantly in front of her and felt a little uncomfortable.

Ever since she left Baiyuzhai that day, she took the initiative to distance herself from Xiao Chen. The other party was very cooperative and never took the initiative to look for her.

Although they were in the same branch, they had only met once at the last exchange meeting.

But unexpectedly, when they met for the second time, the other party had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Simply incredible.

Jiang Sixuan is a rare person with dual spiritual roots of gold and fire. The clan actually has very high expectations for her and has provided her with a lot of resources and support.

Otherwise, even a member of the Jiang family wouldn't be willing to casually use spirit stones to transfer spiritual energy to a stranger cultivator. However, since she joined the Second Branch, she had never slacked off. Apart from signing her autographs, she hadn't wasted time at the quarry, focusing solely on cultivation.

Even so, she had only just touched the edge of the fifth level of Qi Refining, and it would take at least another month before she had any hope of breaking through.

But Xiao Chen clearly still needs to process five acres of spiritual fields every day.

Why was the breakthrough so fast?
Could it be that it was because of that martial arts book?

Jiang Sixuan immediately remembered the book "Qi-Nourishing Breathing Method" that Xiao Chen had chosen.

She was curious at the time. The other party clearly didn't seem to be short of spirit stones, but he chose the yellow-level technique instead of the black-level technique.

Could it be that the choice made back then was for today's result? To quickly improve his realm?
So what is his purpose in doing this?

Jiang Sixuan thought about it for a moment and immediately came to a natural conclusion - the outer sect trial!
In another month, the annual outer sect trial will be held as scheduled.

The result of this trial will directly determine the identity of the inner sect seed in the branch.

Xiao Chen must have wanted to catch up with this trial and obtain additional resource subsidies, so he deliberately chose the easiest yellow-level martial arts to improve his combat power as quickly as possible.

That makes sense!

Jiang Sixuan's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of admiration and sympathy in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Chen.

She has figured out the other party's purpose!

Although Xuan-level skills are stronger than Huang-level skills, the improvement brought by an extra small realm is far greater than the difference in the skills themselves.

The situation in the second branch is special. Last year, several senior brothers and sisters who were at the sixth level of Qi Refining broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and entered the inner sect.

Now, except for four senior brothers and three senior sisters, the rest of the disciples are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Relying on his realm advantage and being one step ahead of the new disciples, Xiao Chen has the opportunity to compete with his senior brothers, sprint into the top ten, and obtain one year's support from the sect's resources in advance.

In this way, by the time of the outer sect trial next year, relying on unequal resources, there is still a great hope of maintaining the ranking.

It was a brilliant plan, bold and hard-working, but it's a pity.

It’s a pity that the outer sect trial system has been changed this year, and I guess Senior Brother Xiao is not aware of it.

Over the past twenty years, the sect has been selecting inner disciples through challenges in the arena among disciples in the branch courtyards.

But this year is different. A few days ago, the Jiang family meeting confirmed that this year they will conduct pseudo-combat selections outside the sect to test the disciples' combat capabilities by fighting against spirit beasts.

Although the specific trial method will not be announced to everyone until the day before the trial, those who should know, such as the direct descendants of the five major immortal clans, already know it.

Jiang Sixuan had recently taken time out to fight against the spirit beasts in her family, and she was deeply aware that under such circumstances, the yellow-level martial arts would inevitably suffer a great loss.

Therefore, Xiao Chen will definitely make a mistake this time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sixuan felt somewhat fortunate that she was in the Jiang family and did not need to take a gamble or take risks.

Her eyes swept over Ye Fei. Should she hint to Junior Brother Ye to make preparations early?
This is a good opportunity to do a favor. Based on her observation of Ye Fei over the past few months, she found that he is actually a genius with both wind and fire spiritual roots, and has unlimited potential in the future.

Moreover, after several contacts, I found that he is a very good person and is definitely worth winning over.

As for Xiao Chen who joined the branch together?

just forget it.

After failing this trial, Xiao Chen, who chose the yellow-level martial arts, will be lost in the crowd and become an insignificant low-level disciple.

From now on, since we are not the same kind of people, there is no need to contact each other again.
