"Xiao … Xiao Han, did you really comprehend some kind of unparalleled divine technique from that piece of parchment?
Just now, just now, that punch of yours was filled with boundless might, enough to repel an army of a thousand men … Too powerful, really too powerful. "
Ah Chou looked at Xiao Han with an astonished gaze, "Xiao Han, if you are given a little more time, I think, you are very likely to rise up and become the third genius of our peak …"
Xiao Han smiled noncommittally.
"Xiao Han, don't worry. Every cultivator has their own fortuitous encounters, and they also have their own secrets. I won't ask you.
And I won't let you teach me that punch.
After all, my talent in comprehension isn't good. What you can comprehend, I might not be able to comprehend. "Ah Chou said frankly.
Xiao Han smiled and patted Ah Chou's shoulder.
"Senior Brother Ah Chou, don't worry. We are good friends. If I have any benefits in the future, I will definitely not forget you."
Hearing Xiao Han's promise, Ah Chou was overjoyed.
Soon after, a gloomy look appeared on his face.
"Xiao Han, Yang Lei entered the Marrow Refining Realm two years ago. He has the strength to pick up mountains. You … Do you have the confidence to withstand a single move from him?"
Xiao Han knew that a Marrow Refining Realm martial artist possessed at least 40 Cauldron of strength.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ah Chou, the gap between me and Yang Lei is indeed very big.
However, with pressure comes motivation. In these ten days, I plan to refine my organs properly, "Xiao Han said after taking a deep breath.
"You really should officially step into the Viscera Refinement Realm."
Ah Chou nodded in agreement, "However, the pill resources are too scarce, cultivating would probably be very slow.
Xiao Han, it's a matter of life and death, so I won't disturb you for the next ten days. Just focus on your closed-door cultivation, and I'll go to the cafeteria to bring you food every day. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ah Chou." Xiao Han smiled.
He returned to his courtyard.
Xiao Han rested for a moment before he sat down cross-legged with a Basic Organ Refinement Pill in his hand.
"Let's begin the Organs Refinement!"
Xiao Han had already memorized the special breathing method of the Organs Refinement Technique recorded on the rubbing paper.
At this moment, Xiao Han took a deep breath and held it, sending it into his internal organs.
Circulate this breath.
He used this breath to cleanse and refine his internal organs.
"Gugu ~ ~ Gugu ~ ~ Gugu ~ ~"
Very quickly, Xiao Han's body emitted a faint sound. It was the sound of his internal organs squirming.
Dozens of breaths later.
"Hu ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of turbid air.
"If I don't take any medicinal pills and just cultivate my Viscera Refinement Realm with dry breathing, it can be said that I won't be able to reach the peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm even after tens or hundreds of years. I won't even be able to reach the minor success stage."
Xiao Han immediately understood the crux of Viscera Refinement.
"Try taking a Basic Organ Refinement Pill." Xiao Han popped the pill in his hand into his mouth.
Immediately, his entire mouth was filled with the bitter taste of medicine.
The pill melted in Xiao Han's mouth, forming a warm current that flowed down his throat and into his organs.
Xiao Han didn't dare to be careless. He quickly took a deep breath and held his breath. He used this breath to guide the heat from the medicinal pill into his internal organs.
"Gugugu ~ ~ Gugugu ~ ~ ~"
His organs, intestines, stomach, heart, and spleen all let out a strange wriggling sound. The effect was much better than when he took a dry breath to refine his organs.
However, after a few dozen breaths, the medicinal effect was completely absorbed by his internal organs.
"Bah ~ ~ ~"
Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of phlegm. The phlegm was black in color and contained many impurities.
"Yes, my internal organs have been tempered, and some impurities have been expelled. Now, my internal organs are surging with more power." Xiao Han nodded.
"But the effects of a single pill really aren't that obvious.
Based on this cultivation speed, I would need at least a few hundred to a thousand medicinal pills to reach the initial success stage of the Viscera Refinement Realm … "
Xiao Han only had two foundational Viscera Refinement Pills. It was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.
After consuming the second Internal Refinement Pill, Xiao Han could only suck in air and refine his organs.
The effect was minimal, almost negligible.
Currently, Xiao Han could only be considered to have entered the Viscera Refinement Stage.
After refining his internal organs for a while, Xiao Han emptied his mind and entered the mysterious state of comprehending power. He seemed to be thinking but not thinking, seemed to be empty but not empty.
The emperor painting appeared in Xiao Han's mind.
Xiao Han began to carefully study the expressions and temperament of the emperors in the painting.
Xiao Han would not let go of any details.
The momentum of the Son of Heaven was slowly approaching perfection.
The next day.
Xiao Han had just woken up and was preparing to refine his organs.
Just at this moment, a man's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Junior brother Xiao Han.
Is this junior brother Xiao Han's courtyard? "
"Who is it?" Xiao Han hurriedly walked out and opened the door.
Outside stood a young man around eighteen or nineteen years old. He wore an outer disciple robe and his long hair casually draped over his shoulders. His facial features were ordinary, but his aura was extremely powerful. His breathing was heavy and forceful. He was clearly someone who had refined his organs very well.
However, Xiao Han didn't recognize this person.
"You are?" Xiao Han frowned.
"Heh, junior brother Xiao Han, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you.
During this period of time, your name has risen in our peak. Many outer disciples have been talking about you in private. Of course, that includes me. "The young man smiled in a very friendly manner.
"No way?
Why are they talking about me? "Xiao Han was startled.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, you've just become an outer disciple and are still in the Bone Refinement Stage. You've already defeated middle and peak Viscera Refinement Stage outer disciples. You're improving at a godly speed.
Not only is your physique strong and your life force is like that of a wild beast, you've also comprehended some kind of great power.
Heh, we all privately call you one of the most promising geniuses in our peak. "The young man talked nonstop.
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. I'm also an outer disciple of this peak. You can call me Cao Xuan."
"That … senior brother Cao Xuan, why did you come to find me?" Xiao Han was becoming more and more confused.
"Oh … junior brother Xiao Han, come with me.
We'll talk as we walk, "Cao Xuan said enthusiastically.
"Let's go see the three masters together."
"See the masters?"
Xiao Han observed Cao Xuan's expression and found that he didn't seem to be plotting anything. He didn't seem to be a chess piece that Yang Lei had arranged to deal with him.
Moreover, the sect was very strict when it came to private fights between disciples. Once discovered, they would be sentenced to death.
Since Xiao Han had already promised Yang Lei that he would take one move from him in ten days, Yang Lei definitely wouldn't dare to take the risk and violate the sect's rules to harm him.
"Alright." Xiao Han followed Cao Xuan out of the courtyard area.
The two quickly stepped onto a path and walked towards the top of the mountain.
"Senior brother Cao Xuan, the masters want to see me?" Xiao Han was confused.
"Oh, junior brother Xiao Han, it's not just you this time.
Including me, there are more than ten outer disciples in our peak who are going to take the test. "Cao Xuan said with a smile.
"Test?" Xiao Han was even more suspicious. "What test?
When I entered the outer sect, I moved a cauldron and reached the basic requirement of three cauldrons of strength. "
"It's not the basic test for outer disciples, but another kind of test." Cao Xuan said mysteriously to Xiao Han.
"Then what is the test?
Senior brother Cao Xuan, don't keep me guessing. Just tell me directly. "Xiao Han looked at Cao Xuan with a little dissatisfaction.
This Cao Xuan was a slow person and spoke in a roundabout way.
He continued to speak without caring about anything else.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, you've just entered the outer sect and don't know some of the sect's rules. Let me explain them to you."
Xiao Han was speechless.
They were originally discussing the test, but now this Cao Xuan was talking about the sect's rules.
It was really neither fish nor fowl.
"Please speak." Xiao Han said patiently.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about the sect's rules for nurturing disciples.
Do you know what kind of disciples the sect is willing to spend a lot of resources to nurture? "Cao Xuan asked with a smile.
"Senior brother Cao Xuan, I thought you were going to say something … The sect's nurturing of disciples is naturally targeted at those who are talented and have a good foundation.
For example, our two senior brothers, Ling Feiyu and Meng Ran.
Geniuses will be nurtured while mediocre disciples will be abandoned by the sect. "Xiao Han answered seriously.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, you only know one thing but not the other." Cao Xuan shook his head and said.
"The sect is willing to nurture two types of disciples."
"En?" Xiao Han was stunned.
"The first type are the geniuses and outstanding talents that Junior Brother Xiao Han mentioned. The second type … is not afraid of the Demon Clan, and dares to face the Demon Clan head-on, even to the extent of fighting with them. They can also be heavily trained!" Cao Xuan said seriously.
"Some disciples might not have a good foundation, but they are fearless when facing the demon race. This is natural courage!
This type of disciple will also be valued! "
"Not afraid of the demon race?" Xiao Han seemed to have understood something.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, the demon race is the natural enemy of the human race. We cannot coexist with them.
The reason why we cultivate martial arts is to kill the demon race!
Think about it, no matter how talented one is, how good one's foundation is, or how brilliant one's cultivation is, what use is it if one's hands and feet turn soft when facing the demon race?
This kind of person has a flaw in their heart and it is very difficult for them to cultivate to the highest realm of martial arts.
When facing the demon race, one must have great wisdom, perseverance, courage and killing intent!
One must fight and kill! "
"Then … the test that Senior brother Cao Xuan mentioned, is it … related to the demon race?" Xiao Han probed.
"En!
Junior brother Xiao Han, we outer sect disciples have a total of five chances to take the test.
Five chances to face the demon race head-on.
If we fail all five tests … Heh, then we might not be able to shoulder the responsibility of killing the demon race for the rest of our lives.
On the road of martial arts, we won't be able to go far. "Suddenly, Cao Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"I've already failed four times. This is the last chance for the assessment. I must seize it!
I have already sharpened my spirit to the point where it is like an unsheathed blade. I am confident that I can cut off the demon aura and no longer fear the demon race! "
As he spoke, a faint killing intent was emitted from Cao Xuan's body.
"Uh … Senior brother Cao Xuan, you?"
Xiao Han was startled. He thought to himself, this person was still amiable just a moment ago. I didn't expect him to change so quickly. At this moment, his killing intent was revealed and he was aggressive.
"I'm sorry, Junior brother Xiao Han. My … my father was killed by the demon race.
I remember clearly that when I fished out my father's corpse from the ancient well in the village, he was already dead. His brain matter had been sucked clean by the demon race … At that time, I swore that I would kill all the demon race in my life! "Suddenly, Cao Xuan's killing intent leaked out and he said in a tragic tone.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, if I am unable to pass the test five times in a row, the sect will not allow me to leave the mountain to kill the demon race.
Furthermore, if I encounter the demon race, I will probably be defeated before the battle begins.
This is my last chance … "
"Senior brother Cao Xuan, don't worry. You will definitely pass the test." Xiao Han could only comfort him.
Immediately after, Xiao Han licked the corner of his mouth. "Senior brother Cao Xuan, in that case, could it be that the sect wants to capture a few demon race members alive for us to test?"
"Yes." Cao Xuan actually nodded.
"Uh … is that so?"
Immediately, Xiao Han recalled that a few months ago, he had encountered a demon race member in the small town. At that time, he did not even dare to move under the envelopment of the demon's aura. He did not even dare to take a deep breath. It was truly an extremely embarrassing situation.
"Damn it. I don't even know if I can pass this test." Xiao Han's heart was slightly perturbed.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, this time, the Principal specially asked me to bring you up to participate in the test with the other outer court disciples.
It's because you've been in the limelight recently that even the few Principals know about you.
That's why they can't wait to let you take the test and see if you really have 'great courage'.
But don't worry, you have a total of five chances. Even if you can't pass the test this time, you will still have chances in the future. "
Cao Xuan smiled.
"Alright, Junior brother Xiao Han, we're almost there."
… …
PS: Just now in the book review section, a friend said that I did not thank the Faction Master and the friends who rewarded me in the chapter.
I am very ashamed.
I apologize to everyone here.
The Faction Master, Lazy Sheep Meow, was someone who rewarded me in the few minutes I just opened the book.
He is an old reader of the previous book, and we have also communicated in private.
I have thanked him for his support and chatted with him a lot.
However, I did not specifically thank him in the chapter.
Also, the friends who have rewarded me. Because if I wrote down the names of the friends who have rewarded me and thanked them in every chapter, the article would look a little strange.
Because many of my friends' nicknames are not Chinese characters. Some are characters, some are numbers. If I list them like this, I feel that it is a little messy.
If there are a few friends who rewarded me a little more, it will be a dense sea of names …
I am not an ungrateful person.
Actually, I remember all the friends who have rewarded me. Really, because they are the ones who feed and clothe me, I cannot not thank them.
From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank these kind friends.
Really, I will not say a single lie.
