On Dazhu Peak, I cultivated myself into a demonic master!

Chapter 5 Peak of Qi Refining Stage!
In the dining hall of Dazhu Peak, the disciples had gradually arrived.

Today, for some reason, Tian Buyi suddenly felt like checking Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation progress over the past year.

He stood in a corner of the cafeteria, his expression serious, his gaze fixed on Zhang Xiaofan who had just entered.

Zhang Xiaofan had just stepped into the cafeteria when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on him.

He subconsciously looked up and saw Tian Buyi staring at him, and his heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Xiaofan quickly came to Tian Buyi's side and respectfully said, "Master."

Tian Buyi nodded slightly, his expression calm. "Xiao Fan, come here, let your master see how well you've cultivated this past year."

Zhang Xiaofan dared not delay and quickly circulated his spiritual energy in front of everyone.

The other disciples also looked at Zhang Xiaofan with curiosity.

Only Song Daren looked away, unable to bear the sight.

He naturally knew Zhang Xiaofan's situation best.

Chen Xiao glanced at Tian Buyi and had some guesses in his mind.

Are you suggesting I'll be subjected to a surprise inspection soon?
You can never be sure about these things.

He has to be prepared.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan's face was flushed red, and his forehead was slightly sweaty as he continued to try his best to guide the cultivation technique to circulate within his body.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only circulate his energy for three cycles, which was far, far away from the forty-nine cycles required for the first level of the Jade Purity Realm.

Upon seeing this, Tian Buyi's face instantly darkened, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Even if someone is incredibly stupid, surely it shouldn't be this bad after a year?
Did he waste the entire year on dogs?

Tian Buyi was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaofan's performance.

What have you been doing all year?

"How can you be worthy of your senior brother's teachings if you are so lax in your cultivation?"

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, his face full of shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In fact, he had done his best throughout the year, but now he dared not contradict his master, Tian Buyi.

"Master, your disciple... your disciple will definitely work even harder."

"Hmph, you've disappointed me greatly."

Tian Buyi snorted coldly and looked away.

Suddenly, he saw Chen Xiao standing to the side, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

For some reason, Tian Buyi has felt that Lao Qi is a little different over the past year or so.

I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but this year seems to have brought about tremendous changes.

The seventh brother has been very dedicated to cultivation all these years. Could it be that he has secretly learned some cultivation techniques from somewhere?
Although he forbade other disciples from passing on their skills to Chen Xiao, what if someone secretly taught him?

With this guess in mind, Tian Buyi felt it was more and more likely, so he called out to Chen Xiao, "Seventh Brother."

They did come, just as I expected.

When Chen Xiao heard his master call him, he sighed slightly in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He stepped forward, respectfully cupped his hands, and said, "Master, did you call me?"

Without saying a word, Tian Buyi reached out and placed his hand on Chen Xiao's wrist, instantly expanding his aura to probe the circulation of spiritual energy within his body.

Having made preparations in advance, Chen Xiao naturally did not reveal the slightest flaw.

"Master, what are you..."

Chen Xiao looked at Tian Buyi with feigned surprise.

If you're going to put on a show, you should go all the way.

At this moment, Tian Buyi examined Chen Xiao's body and found nothing abnormal, so the serious expression on his face relaxed a little.

It seems that I am worrying too much.

Ultimately, no disciple dared to disobey his orders and secretly teach Chen Xiao the martial arts techniques.

He let go of her hand and shook his head. "It's alright, you can go now."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Yes, Master."

Tian Ling'er, who had been on tenterhooks, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Ge hadn't been noticed. Otherwise, she would definitely have been punished by her father.

After that incident, Tian Buyi never doubted Chen Xiao's act of secretly learning martial arts techniques again.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Chen Xiao has been completely immersed in cultivation.

Finally, he mastered the thirteenth level of Qi Refining.

He is now considered to be at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

Based on the memories in Chen Xiao's mind, he judged that his current strength was comparable to that of a powerful expert in the early stage of the Shangqing realm of the Qingyun Sect.

To advance further, one must build a foundation.

However, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage of Qi Refining is no easy task.

Without Foundation Establishment Pills, even with the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique, it would probably take a very long time.

Moreover, it requires the assistance of many precious natural materials.

This matter cannot be rushed.

"Take your time, let's go eat first..."

Chen Xiao stretched and muttered to himself.

Although he has now stopped eating and no longer needs to obtain energy through food.

However, the habit of eating on time that he developed in Dazhufeng over the years has been maintained.

.........

On Dazhu Peak.

Two years have passed, and Zhang Xiaofan has now reached the first level of the Jade Purity Realm and is beginning to practice the second level of the technique.

Although he was slow-witted, he was hardworking enough.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan sat under a big tree, closed his eyes and concentrated, preparing to cultivate.

Suddenly, two whooshing sounds came from the distant sky.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw two sword lights flying towards him like shooting stars.

As the sword light descended, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed with delight, "Jingyu!"

It turned out that one of the sword lights was Lin Jingyu.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaofan's voice, Lin Jingyu simply smiled calmly and hurriedly followed his senior brother Qi Hao into Shoujing Hall to pay his respects to Tian Buyi.

Upon seeing familiar faces, Zhang Xiaofan lost all interest in cultivation and headed straight for Shoujing Hall.

At this moment, all the disciples, including Chen Xiao and Tian Ling'er, were present, except for him.

Even Su Ru was there.

The atmosphere inside Shoujing Hall was somewhat solemn.

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu respectfully bowed to Tian Buyi and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​we have come to inform you about the next Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament."

"The number of participants in the next Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament will double, making the competition even more intense."

Tian Buyi nodded indifferently, "I understand."

The other disciples' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this news.

The number of participants has doubled... which means they might also have a chance to participate!
Seeing Qi Hao greeting and chatting with his fellow disciples from Dazhu Peak inside the hall, Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan walked out of Shoujing Hall to catch up with each other.

"Our senior brother was defeated by him..." Tian Ling'er muttered to herself, watching Qi Hao's shrewd and cunning demeanor.

She never expected that Song Daren would lose to someone like that.

Su Ru heard this, shook her head, and explained softly, "Yes, Qi Hao is exceptionally talented. After a hundred years of cultivation, he is already the strongest disciple among the Dragon Head Peak disciples!"

"After a hundred years of cultivation, this is all the cultivation I've achieved..."

But Tian Ling'er didn't take it seriously when she heard it.

Her mind couldn't help but conjure up the image of Chen Xiao's handsome figure.

She had personally witnessed Chen Xiao learn to fly on a sword in just a few months.

In other words, they had already reached the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm in just a few months!
