Start by getting the cornucopia

In a mountain a few miles outside the outer gate of Yunxia Sect, Xiao He was sitting cross-legged in a cave.

Because of the thin spiritual energy in this mountain, there are no spiritual herbs and monsters, so naturally no one will come.

However, just in case, Xiao He still piled up some dead branches outside the cave, so that if anyone or something else enters the cave, they will hear the sound immediately.

Beside him was a pile of spiritual stones and a strange spiritual stone, and in front of him was a treasure pot full of genuine quenching pills.

He smiled lightly, wondering how Li Mao and others would react when they saw so many genuine quenching pills.

Then, he began to refine the elixir. The genuine quenching pill was different. It turned into spiritual power as soon as it entered the mouth. It was several times stronger than the spiritual power of the miscellaneous quenching pill.

After refining so many elixir casually, his cultivation level quickly went from the third level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"This is the ninth level of Qi Refining..."

Xiao He opened his eyes and clenched his fists. The powerful spiritual power made him take a few deep breaths. He felt that the previous third level of Qi Refining was as easy as a child.

Then, he picked up the strange spiritual stone and looked at it carefully. What made him most curious now was this thing. The powerful spiritual power contained in it made him feel that if he could not directly absorb the spiritual power of the spiritual stone, he could rely on this spiritual stone to break through the bottleneck and reach the foundation building.

He didn't know what it was, but things are rare and valuable. This must be something more valuable than spiritual stones.

Because the cornucopia would stop copying if there was something in it, he poured out all the spiritual pills and put the strange spiritual stones in.

After a moment of nine-color brilliance, the cornucopia was full of strange spiritual stones.

"This strange tripod is really against the sky!"

Xiao He picked up a few strange spiritual stones and compared them. They all had powerful spiritual power.

Then, he had to think about how to store these things. After all, the cornucopia couldn't hold so many spiritual stones and spiritual pills.

After thinking for a while, he decided to smash all the extra spirit stones, leaving only one as a seed, so that he could prepare more spirit pills for emergency use.

He did it right away. After a while, all the ordinary spirit stones were smashed into white mist and slowly disappeared. But when he smashed a strange spirit stone, the spirit stone burst out with extremely thick white mist, and even gushed out.

Xiao He was startled. He was afraid that someone would see the change and come to find him, so he quickly threw the remaining strange spirit stones into the treasure bowl, crushed all the extra spirit pills and mixed them with the dust, and then hurried away.

When he ran to the foot of the mountain, he looked back and saw that the mountain, which had no vitality before, was now completely shrouded in white mist. He could feel the rich spiritual energy in the air without even feeling it carefully.

Before he could run further, two middle-aged men came flying on swords and stopped in front of him. They were two foundation-building seniors from the outer sect. One of them asked directly, "Can you see what happened?"

Xiao He said with a strange look on his face, "I don't know. I saw this strange scene when I passed by here. I was afraid that there was a powerful monster here, so I just wanted to leave quickly."

The two did not ask any more questions and flew directly into the fog on their swords.

Xiao He hurried to the outer sect.

Soon, he returned to the outer sect, calmed his breath, and walked quickly towards the mountainside.

When he came to the small stone house, he found that the door was closed at this time, so he knocked on the door politely.

Unexpectedly, Li Mao inside immediately shouted, "How many times have I said it! Don't bother me! Those elixirs are what you should offer to me!"

Xiao He smiled bitterly. It seemed that this guy had been entangled many times during this period. He thought for a while and pushed the door open directly.

"Oh? It's you! What's the matter?"

Li Mao had a good impression of him, so his expression eased a little.

Xiao He walked up quickly, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Brother Li... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Actually, there is an elder who has taken a fancy to me. With the help of that elder, I have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Now I want to enter the outer sect."

"Elder?"

When Li Mao heard the word elder, his face changed, and then a faint green light flashed in his eyes. He was sure that Xiao He had indeed reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He no longer had any doubts in his heart, and he stood up and said with a smile: "Brother! I knew you had an extraordinary opportunity! The first time I saw your handsome face, I knew you might be favored by a senior or elder! You were favored after digging the spirit stones. Could it be..."

"Hahaha! Brother Li, stop joking!"

Xiao He scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Hey! Why are you still calling me senior brother? Now we have the same cultivation!"

Li Mao stood up, walked to Xiao He, took his hand, and said solemnly: "I am more than ten years older than you, just call me big brother!"

"Big brother Li! The elders urged me to enter the inner gate as soon as possible!"

Xiao He smiled, but felt sick in his heart, but he had to admire that there was a reason why this guy could get the position of the chief steward of the outer gate.

"Ha! It's my negligence!"

Li Mao laughed, and a token flashed in his hand, saying: "This is the certificate for entering the inner gate. The distance is a bit far, I will take you there!"

Xiao He took the token and said: "No need, big brother! You do your thing! It's only a dozen miles, and there is no danger near the sect, it will be fine."

"Remember to find big brother if you have anything! As long as big brother can help! I will never refuse!"

Li Mao sent him out the door, watching him walk down the stone steps, feeling a little happy, hoping to establish this relationship.

Xiao He naturally knew what that guy was planning, but this guy had withheld a lot of elixirs from him, so he would definitely give him a lesson if he had the chance.

A mountain road of more than ten miles may take half a day for ordinary people, but for a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining, only one hour is enough.

The mountain of the inner gate is smaller than that of the outer gate, but there are many buildings inside, all of which are stone buildings made of white jade.

There are two ways to join the inner gate. One is to be directly selected because of good qualifications when entering the gate. The second is like Xiao He, who is thrown into the outer gate without any care about their life or death. If they can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, they can enter the inner gate.

However, the environment of the outer gate, plus the fact that the sect basically does not cultivate, generally only one person can come in every ten years.

At this time, Xiao He stood outside the inner gate formation and knocked on the invisible barrier three times.

After a while, a young man flew down from the mountain and came directly through the barrier to him.

"Meet the elder!"

Xiao He quickly bowed and presented the token with both hands.

The young man took the token without any nonsense, and then used another token to open a hole in the invisible barrier.

Seeing Xiao He walk in, after the barrier was closed, he said calmly: "Go to the Sect Affairs Pavilion to find me."

Leaving this sentence, he flew back to the mountain.

"Is this the inner sect?"

Xiao He looked around and felt a little excited. After seven years, he finally got rid of the outer sect.

Of course, he still felt disgusted with this sect. In his opinion, whether it was the outer sect or the inner sect, these guys were not good people.
