Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 9 Feihong Mountains
"Uncle San, although Xiao Chen's spiritual roots are weak, his comprehension is good. I think he has potential and is worth cultivating."

After the exchange meeting, Manager Chen found the outer sect elder Chen Tianyang the next day and expressed his appreciation for Xiao Chen.

"Zhi'an, I know you want to cultivate some good seedlings yourself, but don't be too anxious. Is this little fellow you're talking about a mixed wood spiritual root?"

"Yes, Third Uncle, although he..."

"Hey, Zhian, this wood spirit root is not suitable for alchemy or weapon refining, so he has no connection with our Chen family. Does he have any powerful master?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I checked, and he's practicing the yellow-level technique issued by the branch."

"Then it's worthless. As usual, arrange for the family disciples to be trained intensively first."

Chen Tianyang made the final decision: "Anyway, the outer sect trials will be held soon. To obtain additional resources and support, it depends on his own performance in the trials. He should strive for it himself."

"It's his good fortune that you don't make things difficult for him. If he's truly blessed, he'll naturally seize the opportunity."

……

At the same time, news of Xiao Chen's successive epiphanies in just six months spread to other branches, sparking discussions among many outer disciples.

"First, it was Lin Pingan, who always managed to find rare treasures. Then there was Xiao Chen, who actually had two sudden enlightenments in a row. When will it be my turn next?"

"Hey, tell me, who of these two will become an inner disciple first? I heard that Lin Ping'an has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and is about to succeed."

"Not necessarily. He was just lucky, it doesn't count. His cultivation wasn't gained through hard work, so his foundation is unstable. I think he'll be stuck for three to five years."

"They are both blessed, unlike us. When I went down the mountain yesterday, I saw an inner sect brother selling pills at the foot of the mountain. He made a lot of spirit stones in a short time. I'm so envious!"

"Who wouldn't envy us? I wonder when we can join the inner sect and learn the hundred arts of cultivation."

"The tournament will be next month, right? Are you confident you can compete for an inner sect seed first?"

"Forget it, stop making fun of me. I'm no match for those senior brothers."

"Hey, look, isn't that Xiao Chen from the Second Branch meditating in the spiritual field?"

After hearing what was said, several people looked over and saw that Xiao Chen was sitting cross-legged under a willow tree next to the spiritual field, practicing his skills after performing the Xiaoyunyu technique.

Since the exchange meeting, perhaps because those stories are classic, or perhaps because Xiao Chen’s own breakthrough is eye-catching.

In short, many disciples would look at Xiao Chen and whisper to each other and point fingers when they passed by.

He was a little uncomfortable at first, but was soon forced to adapt.

After all, everyone was quite sensible and just discussed from a distance without anyone coming up to chat.

Xiao Chen pretended not to see or hear anything. Sure enough, after a few days, everyone had forgotten about the matter, and he returned to his boring life of cultivation.

Manager Chen did come to ask: "Do you want to change a technique? I can make the decision and let you choose a new Xuan-level technique."

Xiao Chen refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your concern, but I feel that the skills I have are also good, so I won't bother you."

He had tested it privately and found that Hextech really only worked on yellow-level martial arts, and not even on basic martial arts that were not up to par.

After performing the Small Cloud and Rain Technique, once you use the basic breathing method to restore mana, the speed will become extremely slow, and it is estimated to take two hours.

In this case, especially after getting used to the rapid improvement brought about by the high-speed operation of spiritual energy.

Even if he was given a heavenly or earthly level technique for free, he would not exchange it now.

Manager Chen felt a little regretful. As a foundation-building cultivator, he also knew the inside story of the changes in this year's trial. He could also think of what Jiang Sixuan could guess.

I originally wanted to give Xiao Chen a favor and change to a better martial art.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be determined and just liked the "Qi-Nourishing Breathing Method", so I had to give up.

He couldn't openly reveal internal information to a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage; that would be too unruly. For the next half month, Xiao Chen took two bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills in a row.

I feel like I've already touched the threshold of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and I'm just a little bit away from crossing that line.

Unfortunately, before he could break through, the sect announced the reform of this year's trial three days in advance.

All outer disciples must set out three days in advance and head to Feihong Mountains, where this year's outer sect trial will be held.

"Ah, eight hundred miles in total? Walking all the way? Doesn't it count as giving up if it takes less than three days?"

Xiao Chen was speechless after hearing this. Is this the first test?
The sect clearly has a large flying boat, and as an immortal seedling who was brought from a small mountain village, Xiao Chen has ridden on it once.

It wasn't flying high, but it was very fast, and there were all sorts of incomprehensible patterns flashing on it.

But now that he has become a cultivator, he can no longer enjoy that kind of treatment and can only wave goodbye to Manager Chen at the mountain gate.

As a foundation-building cultivator, Manager Chen can fly his sword by himself, but others have a flying boat to ride.

It's really a drought, a drought, and a flood.

In fact, this distance is not that far. It may be a bit difficult for mortals, but outer disciples are all practitioners.

If you really want to travel 300 miles a day, it’s not a problem.

I am afraid that the competition has already begun quietly on the road.

After all, being late is considered a forfeit, and someone might have some bad intentions, which would be terrible.

The sect's leaders should have anticipated this situation, but no one could say for sure whether this was intentional or not.

"Brother Xiao, we're planning to travel together. Do you want to come?"

Jiang Sixuan suddenly took the initiative to invite Xiao Chen to go with her.

Three people had gathered behind her, including Ye Fei and two other monks, one male and one female.

The female cultivator looked familiar. I had seen her before in Baiyuzhai. She was a good friend of Jiang Sixuan.

The other male cultivator also looked familiar, and seemed to be one of the seven Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators currently in the Second Branch.

He is also one of the strong competitors in this trial.

Regardless of their identities or the personnel configuration of this temporary team, Jiang Sixuan does not have to worry about any accidents along the way.

But she still invited Xiao Chen to go with her, even though she had already decided to reduce their contact in the future.

After all, as an outstanding member of the Jiang family, she has undergone rigorous training, especially in the ways of the world.

Many people knew that the three of them entered the branch together and even attended a celebration banquet at that time. They couldn't act like strangers so quickly.

Therefore, a courtesy invitation is necessary.

"Okay!" Xiao Chen agreed on the spot.

Jiang Sixuan's expression froze slightly, then she smiled. "That's great! I hope all five of us can make it into the top ten this time."

Xiao Chen nodded: "Thank you for your good wishes."

After that, we had a smooth journey without any accidents.

At noon on the third day, the five people successfully arrived at the gathering point outside the Feihong Mountains.
