: Leave the room, hurry to the temple, get half a year's spirit stone, then hurry back to the room.

This time, along with the spirit stones, there are two fasting pills..

Fasting pill is used to keep people away from hunger. It can last for a month without eating or drinking. It is the most suitable pill for closed door cultivation..

Lin Jingzhe prepared to enter seclusion, and these two fasting pills became the key items..

As soon as he swallowed the fasting pill, there was a knock on the door..

Who?

Lin Jingzhe cleared his throat and shouted.

It's me, Xiaowu..

Xiaowu's voice came from outside the bedroom..

Lin Jingzhe was delighted. He hurriedly opened the Liao door and shouted: Brother Xiaowu..

Haven't seen you in half a year, little Jingzhe, you've grown taller again.

Xiaowu walked in slowly. Are you still complaining that Brother Wu didn't tell you when he moved?.

how can there be.

Little mud, coy, how can it be a big deal.

Xiaowu rolled his eyes..

are.

Lin Jingzhe blushed and said,"Just now there was still some injustice buried, but now there is no more.".

That's fine. There's no division between brothers..

Xiaowu patted him on the shoulder and added,"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid it will affect your cultivation.".

I know.

Lin Jingzhe nodded..

You have to know, we are children from the mountains, our aptitude is mediocre, we must work harder than others.

Xiaowu said.

Brother Xiaowu, I understand.

Yes, you are the smartest child in the village, your cultivation will definitely be higher than ours in the future.

I know, Brother Xiaowu. I will definitely work hard to cultivate..

Little Jingzhe, winter solstice this half-year small competition rose five places again.

Winter Solstice? What level is he at now?

four-layer.

Ah.

Lin Jingzhe was shocked, her face full of disbelief.

At first I didn't believe it either, but it turned out to be true. He was the most talented of the three of us..

The winter solstice is the son of heaven, which is destined that we are not on the same road as him..

Xiaowu said sadly.

Brother Xiaowu, what level are you at now?

Level 3, and it hasn't been long since I broke through.

Xiaowu smiled bitterly.

Jingzhe, what about you?

Two levels, four spirit stones for today's breakthrough..

Hmm? You used four spirit stones to break through two levels? Xiaowu asked doubtfully..

Lin Jingzhe was stunned and said,"Aren't you guys?"

Xiao Wu spread out all his belongings and vaguely saw five or six sparkly irregular stones..

This? The spirit stones you allocated at that time are still unused?

Two were used, and the other two were accumulated from the ranking of small competitions..

Doesn't that mean that I used twice as many spirit stones as Brother Xiaowu to break through to the first level?

Realizing that something was wrong, Li Jingzhe was shocked. If he wanted to break through to Foundation Establishment, wouldn't he need countless spirit stones to bake?

Give it your best shot, throw it at me. Let me see how powerful it is..

Okay, I've long wanted to try. Where did the spirit stones go?.

After saying that, Lin Jingzhe put on a horse stance on the ground and clenched his fist.

bang.

An air-piercing sound exploded, and a vague fist shadow smashed into Xiaowu, who was not hiding..

Xiaowu also threw a punch and smashed it up..

Boom!

：.

: A loud noise, the shaking of the shabby hut, dust flying.

Two fists collided under the counter-shock, Xiaowu retreated two steps, Lin Jingzhe but only retreated one step.

As expected, your fist strength is double that of others, and the spirit stones are not wasted..

Xiaowu patted him on the shoulder, took out four more spirit stones, and handed them to him..

Brother Wu, this can't be done.

You absorb twice as much spiritual energy as others. If you really don't have spiritual stones, won't you have to stand still and hoard the ground?.

Xiao Wu continued,"Don't be too busy refusing. Brother Wu also has something to ask.".

Little brother Wu, what's the matter? Lin Jingzhe asked doubtfully..

When I am promoted to Eldest Senior Brother, I will leave the mountain gate and go out for training. I may have to go to a very far place. Please take care of my father..

Eldest Senior Brother?

I've asked around before, male disciples of our sect must rank first and become eldest senior brother before they have the right to go down the mountain for training..

Xiaowu added,"But don't worry. Eldest Senior Brother's position is in the mountain gate. Older disciples can also serve as disciples.".

Is the position of our senior brother often changed? Lin Jingzhe is puzzled.

What's wrong? Becoming a senior brother can help you return to secular life.

Brother Xiaowu, don't you think it's strange? Becoming a senior brother means you'll enjoy the highest treatment from your sect. Why do they want to return to secular life?

At first, I thought it was strange. I asked my senior brothers and they said that although the senior brother's position was good, it was not as good as freedom..

Freedom?

Yes, as long as you become Eldest Senior Brother, you can return to secular life, and you don't have to be tied to the interests of your sect. The key thing is, after returning to secular life, you can also receive the reward for returning to secular life..

What reward?

a mid grade artifact.

Treasure?

You're cultivating in a dormitory, so you probably don't know the value of medium grade artifacts..

Xiaowu explained,"A low-grade artifact is worth ten low-grade spirit stones, while a medium-grade artifact is worth hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.".

So valuable?

Otherwise, why would we rather give up the position of Senior Brother?.

Xiaowu said,"We don't eat or drink hundreds of spirit stones. We have to stay at the mountain gate for fifty or sixty years to save enough.".

So that's how it is. Eldest Senior Brother's position is really hot.

Lin Jingzhe's face was full of longing. He wished that he was also the eldest senior brother now. He would return to the secular world and descend the mountain. He would hold his sword in the sky like the protagonists in those stories. Why not?.

However, when he thought about how many spirit stones he would need to cultivate to the position of Eldest Senior Brother, he was all troubled. With his poor aptitude, it would be decades before he could become Eldest Senior Brother..

Xiaowu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him,"Work hard to cultivate. When you become a senior brother, I will come to celebrate with you even if I am thousands of miles away.".

Thank you, Brother Xiaowu..

Brothers, you're welcome. Let's go..

Before Xiao Wu left, he put down four spirit stones and did not forget to pat him on the shoulder, continuing to encourage him..

Grabbing the spirit stone in his hand, Lin Jingzhe felt extremely depressed..

He didn't participate in the semi-annual competition this time either, and his ranking was still Lu Qi..

Half a year passed quickly.

During this period of time, he had never met Xiaowu again..

Xiaowu didn't come to participate in the semi-annual competition, and the winter solstice also disappeared..

But he couldn't, because he didn't have enough spirit stones..

In the small competition, he obtained five places, rose to Lu Er, and received a low-grade spirit stone as a spoils of war..

During this period of time, there were a lot of new faces in the mountain gate..

When he returned to his room, he quickly swallowed the fasting pill and went into seclusion..

In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed.

His cultivation still hadn't broken through, and he was still at the second level of Qi Refinement Realm..

In this semi-annual competition, he only obtained two rankings and became Lu Shi. The spoils were a low-grade spirit stone..
