From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

After returning to the Outer Court, Fang Xiao planned to go to the External Affairs Hall to hand in the task first. On the way to the External Affairs Hall, he found that the number of disciples in the Outer Court was many times more than usual. He planned to inquire if there was anything happening recently after handing in the task. After all, just burying one's head in hard practice is just working behind closed doors. He still had to understand the news and trends in the world of immortal cultivation, otherwise he would miss the opportunity and cry like crazy.

There were quite a few people coming in and out of the External Affairs Hall, and the disciples in charge of the tasks were a little overwhelmed. Seeing from a distance that Huo Daochen had not returned to the family yet, they walked straight to his table and waited for him to finish his work.

"Brother Huo."

"Junior Brother Fang is back. It looks like this mission went very smoothly."

Fang Xiao took out his identity token and told Huo Daochen the mission process in detail.

"Junior brother is really amazing, he actually killed a high-level monster."

"It was just luck. If he wasn't injured, I would have had to flee."

"Junior brother is too modest."

Fang Xiao lied that the White Tiger Monster had already been seriously injured and he was just taking advantage of the opportunity.

Huo Daochen believed what he said and did not investigate it in detail. He added 100 points of good deeds for this mission to his identity token.

Even though these one hundred points are a lot, Fang Xiao has checked the exchange list in the Hall of Good Deeds. The most important thing for the outer courtyard disciples is the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is at the top of the list. One pill is worth twelve thousand points of good deeds. One good deed of the sect is equivalent to one spirit stone. However, they cannot be exchanged with each other to prevent the outflow of important resources of the sect. However, the good deeds of disciples can be circulated among each other, so even the Foundation Establishment Pill in a holy place like the Tianlan Sect is in short supply.

The sect competition came into being, and every ten years the eight outer academies each held a sect competition. Only the top thirty outer academy disciples were eligible to exchange for foundation-building pills. Disciples who failed in foundation-building could exchange them again if they won the next competition. In other words, two hundred and forty foundation-building pills could be produced every ten years, and there were more than two hundred and forty peak Qi training disciples waiting for foundation-building pills every year. This was the foundation of the holy land, and the most recent sect competition would be in three years.

The foundation-building pill that Huo Daochen used to build his foundation this time was provided to him privately by his family. If it succeeds, it would be fine. If he is unlucky and fails, he will have a chance to compete for another foundation-building pill three years later.

"Thank you, senior brother. There are many more disciples in the outer courtyard recently. Do you know the reason?" Fang Xiao took back the identity token and raised his own questions.

"I was going to tell you even if you didn't ask me. In a month, the outer courtyard will hold the sect's small competition that is held every three years. As long as the disciples have not yet broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, they can participate. The disciples who are on missions outside will come back in advance to prepare for the small competition."

"The sect's small competition is similar to the sect's big competition?"

"Well, for disciples like Junior Brother who have good talents but have not yet grown up, the sect will reward them with good deeds through small competitions. After all, it takes time and effort to accumulate good deeds by completing tasks, and the sect does not want disciples with outstanding talents to waste their time on tasks."

"So that's how it is." Fang Xiao suddenly realized.

"So if you want to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible, don't miss this outer courtyard competition. Don't have the strength but not enough good deeds. I will be returning to the family in two days, and I'm afraid we will see each other again in the sect."

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother. I wish you success in building your foundation."

"Hahahaha, Junior Brother too, I wish you a smooth journey to immortality, Senior Brother is waiting for you in the sect."

Huo Daochen is full of confidence.

After leaving the External Affairs Hall, Fang Xiao went to the Good Deeds Hall to collect this month's sect resources. He also took a look at the Foundation Establishment Pill that was at the top of the exchange list, then looked at his own 100 points of good deeds and smiled helplessly.

The way back to the residence was full of unfamiliar faces. As expected, as a new disciple who had only been in the sect for a year and a month, he was at a disadvantage even in the sect's small competition. Although he was somewhat confident in his own ability, he never looked down on others. He would naturally go all out in the sect's small competition. This was also the first step in the future Test the World with Swords.

"I am only fourteen years old now. If I miss the foundation-building pill in three years, the next opportunity will be when I am twenty-seven. Even if there are foundation-building opportunities outside the sect, there are too many uncertainties. Cultivating immortals requires competition. What I want is mine, and I will get it even if you don't give it to me. I will definitely not miss the sect competition in three years."

Every time you strengthen your belief in your heart, it is also a time to sharpen your sword heart. Just like a mortal sword needs to be wiped frequently, so does the sword heart. You need to always recognize your own heart and strengthen your belief, and shake off the dust on the sword heart. Otherwise, the sword heart will be covered with dust. If you encounter setbacks, there is even the possibility that the sword heart will be destroyed. The sword heart is the Tao heart of the sword cultivator. If the Tao heart is destroyed, the person will be ruined.

When I returned to my residence, Li Jun and his wife were there too. I learned that the last of the green corn had matured. With the help of magic, the quality of the spiritual rice harvested this time would be higher than before. As for the golden corn, it had just been planted and it would take nearly two months for it to mature.

Afterwards, he asked the two to withdraw and began his daily practice. His cultivation level increased rapidly every day, his sword techniques became smoother, and his sword realm also rose all the way to the peak of his current realm.

"When you have time, you can go to the Sutra Library to see if there are any sword cultivation experiences. It is not a good idea to work in isolation. There are some problems that you cannot figure out by yourself. By the way, you can also visit Old Man Fan."

After the training, today's task is not over yet. I need to process the spiritual medicine I bought and the materials left by the white tiger monster as soon as possible and prepare to brew new spiritual wine. But before that, I still have to practice with more ordinary spiritual medicines.

Whether it is spiritual medicine or monster materials, they are all targeted at the late stage of Qi Refining. I have only used spiritual rice to brew them a few times. If I start directly, I am afraid that these materials will be wasted.

Over the next month, Fang Xiao continued to brew spiritual wine, and of course he did not give up his cultivation. Finally, three days before the sect's competition, he successfully brewed tiger bone wine for the late stage of Qi training. It had an amazing effect on physical training, and it even had the effect of increasing Qi and blood.

Of course, he also took two days out to complete a simple task in order to meet the standard for this month.

On the day when he brewed the tiger bone wine, the rules and rewards for the competition were announced, and his disciples were eager to participate.

The rules are also very simple. It is a system of drawing lots to compete. Disciples who want to participate in the competition need to register within these three days. The competition lasts for a total of five days. On the day of the competition, people draw lots, and those with the same lot will fight. A deacon who has condensed a fake elixir is responsible for controlling the situation, and there are also Golden Elixir Elders watching. Disciples who fight can do their best. All disciples who participate in the competition are required not to use elixirs during the fight, and the level of the talismans they use must not exceed that of the Qi Refining stage and must not exceed ten.

Fang Xiao felt relieved that he could use his full strength. As a sword cultivator, he was afraid that if he used his full strength, the opponent would be killed instantly. That would be a lot of fun.

Afterwards, he came to the outer courtyard square. The last time there was a long queue here was when he entered the school on his own. An hour later, at the registration desk, Fang Xiao handed in his identity token and successfully registered. All he had to do now was wait for the competition in three days.
