Chapter 132 Small Gathering

"Junior Brother Zhang is here, come here, please take a seat."

By Panyang Lake, when Zhang Qingyuan arrived, Zhao Yuanyang was warmly entertaining a group of new inner disciples who kept coming and going.

After a while, more than 20 people gathered.

"This one is Lin Yan from Lieyang Peak..."

"This one is Meng Chong from Wan Leifeng..."

Zhao Yuanyang wandered among the gathering crowd, introduced their identities to everyone around them, and got to know each other.

Zhang Qingyuan also followed the crowd, and after getting to know each other politely, he sat down in the arena.

"Brother Shen, long time no see!"

Sitting next to Zhang Qingyuan was Shen Hongzhou who also came out of the 17th courtyard. It had been half a year since he entered the inner sect at this time, and the other party's cultivation base had also reached the middle stage of the eighth stage.

However, sensing the fluctuation of the opponent's spiritual energy, it should not be long after breaking through.

Faced with Zhang Qingyuan's greetings, Shen Hongzhou showed a wry smile on his face.

"Zhang Daoyou was joking, you and I entered the inner sect together, and our cultivation base and strength are higher than mine, so I can't be your senior brother. If you don't dislike it, you can call him a fellow daoist in the future."

Shen Hongzhou looked at Zhang Qingyuan deep in his eyes, revealing a trace of envy.

Half a year ago,

My own seven-level spiritual energy is perfect, and the opponent is also perfect at the seventh level of spiritual energy, and I can still fight back and forth.

As a result, more than half a year passed, and the opponent showed that he was the first to break through to the eighth level of Lingyuan, and then made rapid progress all the way, blooming his own light in the outer sect competition.

Although it also stopped in the semi-finals of the outer gate competition.

But Shen Hongzhou knew that he only entered the semi-finals by luck.

Compared with Zhang Qingyuan, who has comprehended sword intent and is invincible at the same level at the eighth level of Lingyuan, and can even defeat at the beginning of the ninth level of Lingyuan, the gap is so big that it is hard to compare.

During the period of time when he entered the inner sect, Shen Hongzhou thought that he had worked very hard in his cultivation.

Therefore, in just half a year, he broke through a small level and was promoted to the middle stage of the eighth level of Lingyuan.

just to meet again,

The other party also advanced to the late stage of the eighth level of Lingyuan.

Moreover, Shen Hongzhou, who is next to Zhang Qingyuan and possesses the perception of the family's secret art, can feel it even more.

Zhang Qingyuan's strength at this time has taken another big step forward, and the gap between them has widened a lot compared to before entering the inner gate.

If they fought with each other, Shen Hongzhou felt that he might be taken down and killed by the opponent within ten moves.

"Hey, Zhang Qingyuan's perseverance is far behind me."

Shen Hongzhou sighed inwardly.

Since being defeated by the opponent for the first time more than half a year ago, Shen Hongzhou had become interested in Zhang Qingyuan and learned about the opponent's past.

A distant concubine of a small middle-level cultivator family, barely passed the examination of the outer sect of the sect, and entered the seventeenth courtyard.

After that, during the two years in the other courtyard, he practiced steadily and conscientiously. Apart from going out to accept various farming tasks such as farming, harvesting, and taking care of elixir to obtain training resources, the extra free time was basically spent on training. among.

Then it took more than two years to improve his cultivation all the way, from the peak of the third level of Lingyuan to the seventh level and even the eighth level of Lingyuan.

On this road, he chased fellow students one by one bit by bit, and finally left them behind, walking further and further away.

I still remember the first time he showed his minions in the other courtyard of the same school, it was the battle with Yao Ping shortly after breaking through the seventh level of Lingyuan.

Just how long has it been since that battle?

But a mere year,

The other party has already become a disciple of the inner sect, and Yao Ping is still struggling in the seventh level of spiritual energy in the seventeenth courtyard. If after three years he cannot enter the inner sect through the outer sect competition, then From then on, he could basically only sink among the 100,000 disciples of the outer sect, and the chance of entering the inner sect became extremely slim.

Comparing the two, no matter in terms of strength or status, there is a huge difference in just one year.

This feeling of others catching up little by little, and then catching up, is really not very pleasant.

It was also stimulated by Zhang Qingyuan that Shen Hongzhou became more diligent in his cultivation, and made breakthroughs one after another in just over half a year, raising his cultivation level to the mid-eighth stage.

It's a pity that when they met again, the other party had already gone further.

But for this,

Shen Hongzhou didn't have much jealousy, only admiration.

He knew that Zhang Qingyuan's aptitude in cultivation was not that of a genius child, but at most it was above average.

The reason why he was able to improve so quickly was entirely because of the other party's diligence.

In the more than two years of practice in the outer sect, Zhang Qingyuan spent three times or even four times as much in a day as others.

Years are like a day.

Two years of hard work is equivalent to seven or eight years of hard work by others. How can it be unpleasant to advance to the realm of cultivation?

It was also after being defeated by Zhang Qingyuan that Shen Hongzhou calmed down and practiced hard like Zhang Qingyuan, only then did he realize that this kind of persistence is really not easy, and until now he can only barely achieve half of Zhang Qingyuan's effort.

This also made him admire Zhang Qingyuan's perseverance even more.

Zhang Qingyuan naturally didn't know Shen Hongzhou's inner thoughts beside him.

Naturally, he didn't know that he had unintentionally gained a fan.

Everyone exchanged and introduced each other, and the banquet began.

This gathering is a group gathering initiated by Zhao Yuanyang with him as the link. The people are basically inner disciples of this session, and their cultivation bases are all in the eighth or ninth level of Lingyuan.

This is an opportunity to expand your network.

As a child of a family cultivated by the family, Zhao Yuanyang's communication skills can be described as slick in all aspects, and he is impeccable in his affairs. Moreover, although the selected monks have different personalities, none of them are arrogant and domineering.

There may be differences in personality and discord between each other.

But at most, they don't want to communicate too much, and they still maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, so there are no messy conflicts.

Zhao Yuanyang really spent a lot of effort on this banquet.

Among them, all kinds of spiritual materials and delicacies were more advanced than the last banquet at the outer sect. This may be because Zhao Yuanyang entered the inner sect and received greater support from the family.

A banquet, everyone is having fun.

During this exchange, Zhang Qingyuan also met some contacts. Although they don't have a deep friendship with each other, they can use this to ask for help if they need anything in the future.

For example, Lin Yan of Lieyang Peak is an intermediate-level craftsman who has refined mid-level magic weapons before, and is about to attack the high-level craftsman.

Another example is Qian Sen from Tianmu Peak, who is good at growing all kinds of elixir, and has a lot of elixir seeds in his hand, which can provide medicinal materials for others.

Zhang Qingyuan took note of these network resources carefully.

It is impossible for one person to take care of all matters, and there will be times when these connections will be needed in the future.

After the banquet, they also got to know each other almost.

At this point, it is the stage of mutual exchange.

After several successful transactions.

Lin Yan of Lieyang Peak stood up and said:

"Lin is going to attack the realm of senior craftsman recently, and he still lacks a drop of Guishui essence. I don't know if fellow Taoists have extra Guishui essence on hand. Please give up one or two." Panel Chapter List
