The assessment office under the gate of Shangqing Mountain is a clearing in the middle of the forest, and a temporary formation is supported by a magic tool, protecting two rows of houses soaked in the hazy night.

The gatekeeper led Chu Yun to the open space and introduced him to the assessment: "Tomorrow is the day when the mountain gate will be opened. After noon, those who hold the Qianlong card will start climbing the road to the sky. If they pass the road to the sky, they will But take a day off here, and wait for the next assessments... You are applying for the Item Refining Hall, the assessment should be very fast, today's disciples are very squeamish and don't like to do this with fire and smoke. The tiring work of blacksmithing is also playing with fire, it is better to learn alchemy, be clean and decent, and earn more..."

"You came early. There is no one in the temporary disciple's house here. You can choose a room to rest."

Chu Yun  randomly ordered a secluded house. The gatekeeper took out a bunch of keys, dialed it, and took off one and handed it to him.

"Dengtian Road will open at noon tomorrow, don't be too late, or you'll have to wait a little longer." With the idea of ​​caring for the younger juniors who might be entering the school, he warned again, and the gatekeepers put them away. key, turn around to ask for ‌.

Seeing this, Chu Yunzhi said again: "This senior brother, is there a kitchen here?"

The gatekeeper stopped in his footsteps and asked in surprise, "You didn't prepare the Bigu Pill?"

"Forget it, this is also very good. We cultivate in Qingshan Mountain and pay attention to conforming to nature, so we don't eat bigu pills if we can. But you came from Baiyue City, and you don't even know how to bring some dry food... This is the bamboo forest. There is a kitchen there, you can cook by yourself, or you can wait for the patrolling juniors to come and buy some dry food from them..."

Chu Yun of course knew that the disciples below the Jindan of Shangqing Mountain had three meals a day, and even Shangqing Mountain had a special peak called Zhenlu Pavilion, which was the sect cafeteria.

So it was not surprising to him that there was a kitchen in the assessment office.

And the reason why he looked for the kitchen was not to cook, but to boil some hot water and take a bath.

All the way from Baiyuecheng to Shangqingshan, the scorching sun was shining, and with his current cultivation, he could not avoid the heat and cold, and he was sweating profusely.

Even though the dust removal technique was used to clean it up, subconsciously, Chu Yunzhi still felt that it was not refreshing enough. In addition, he wanted to take a hot bath to relieve his fatigue and adjust his state for tomorrow's assessment.

After the gatekeeper left, Chu Yun put his few luggage in the selected house, and went to the bamboo forest to find the kitchen.

The location of the kitchen can be said to be quite conspicuous. Chu Yun only walked around the bamboo forest for a while, and saw the house that was obviously different from the other surrounding houses.

Between the kitchen and the bamboo forest is a small stream with clear water, which is covered with fine pebbles, and there are many swimming fish waving their tails.

Chu Yun poured a few buckets of water, put it on the stove, and when the water boiled, he pulled out a pair of fishing rods from the kitchen, and he caught a few big blue-colored fish not long after.

The cool night wind blew past, and the bamboo forest rustled.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the smoke from the cooking wafts out from the towering chimney, making this dusty and refined Taoyuan fairyland dyed with fireworks.

In fact, no matter what world he lives in, no matter what life he experiences, what Chu Yun longs for most in his heart is quietness and tranquility. It's just the beginning of each crossing, and for various reasons, this expectation is often not realized.

But this time may be an exception.

Chu Yun sat outside the shed in the kitchen and quietly enjoyed the gurgling water and the breeze in the forest for a while, then got up and brought the sweet and sour fish back to his residence, covered it with a gauze cover, and went to take a bath in the screen first.

The slightly scalding hot water spreads over the chest and abdomen to relieve fatigue.

While the steam was bubbling, Chu Yun leaned against the tub and half closed his eyes, thinking a little dazedly about tomorrow's assessment and the future.

Just as some drowsiness poured out uncontrollably, there was a sudden sound of slamming outside.

Chu Yun suddenly opened his eyes and jumped out of the tub.

A spell dries his body in an instant, the snow-white robe is draped over his shoulders, and Chu Yun fastens his belt with one hand. In just a few breaths, he bypasses the screen and appears outside.

The door was still bolted, and the half window outside was pitch-dark, and there was no shadow or movement.

In the room, a candlestick flickered brightly, casting shadows on all fours.

Chu Yun turned his eyes and landed on the ground beside the table, where a pair of chopsticks that should have been placed beside the bowl fell, which should be the object that made the sound.

From the newly purchased storage bag, he took out two rough-drawn lightning charms in his hands, and Chu Yun's eyes swept through the indoor furnishings one by one.

He didn't think that there would still be thieves sneaking in at the mountain gate assessment office of Shangqingshan, and there were patrolling disciples. As a person with no one at the first level of Qi refining, he would not attract any conspiracy against him, so Chu Yun was more inclined to stray in some birds and beasts in the dense forest next to him.

But Shangqingshan is a spiritual mountain, and the birds and beasts living here are not extraordinary beasts. It is said that they also have the ability to cultivate qi or forge the body, which should not be taken lightly.

Thinking like this, Chu Yun suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a vague shadow moving slowly inside the gauze covered with sweet and sour fish on the table.

Clutching the talisman, Chu Yun lifted the hood with one hand, and quickly grabbed the shadow with his eyes and hands. He could only hear a squealing meowing scream, and his subordinates had already pinched a piece of soft slump. 's fur.

Chu Yun carried it to his face.

The candlelight reflected, and it was an orange kitten with a chubby little head.

The orange kitten pinched the nape of its neck, its limbs drooping weakly and weakly, as if it wanted to struggle but was powerless. Those golden-green pupils suddenly shrank into a thin slit, and the fish that had been in his mouth earlier fell to the ground with this frightened scream.

"It turned out to be a fish thief."

This little orange cat Mo is similar to the transformed Rong Qi he dreamed of two days ago, making it difficult for Chu Yun to regain a strong sense of vigilance, and the corners of his indifferent lips curved a little playfully radian.

I checked the body of the little orange cat with divine sense, but didn't see the cultivation base. It seemed that this was just an ordinary kitten.

Chu Yun received the weight in his hand and said lightly, "According to the standard of orange, you are still too thin."

"Meow...meow!"

The golden-green pupils met Chu Yun's gaze, and the little orange cat let out an angry shriek as if it had encountered an enemy.

Chu Yun ignored the incompetent anger of the little orange cat, put away the talisman, sat down at the table and took out a pair of chopsticks again, while pressing the little orange cat in his hand to his lap, he picked a few pieces from the sweet and sour fish. A piece of extremely tender fish with a mild taste, patiently poking at the thorns, and at the same time said casually: "Shangqingshan actually has such a delicate kitten as you can live..."

When it fell on Chu Yun's legs, the little orange cat who was about to struggle heard this, his limbs froze, and it solidified like a hairy stone.

He raised his head and glanced at Chu Yun's chin with those golden-green eyes, as if he had suddenly received something, his eyes moved, but he didn't try to escape.

A warm palm with a bit of water vapor caressed his back, passing through the soft fur.

The little orange cat rolled its tail subconsciously, and felt a somewhat familiar shudder flowing into his limbs like warm water, permeating with lightness, giving his dry body a sign of recovery. This gentle intoxication was so comfortable that he couldn't help but spread his claws to reveal his belly.

Fortunately, this comfortable sleep could not shake his sobriety, but instead reminded him of some pleasant and unpleasant things.

He narrowed his golden-green pupils, leaned on Chu Yun's thigh, glanced between his legs and the waist and abdomen exposed from the neckline of the loose robe, and looked down again. With his not-sharp nails, he gave up the idea of ​​scratching them and pressed down his claws a little unhappily.

Chu Yun was a little surprised by the little orange cat's safety, but he didn't say anything, just took a piece of fish that he picked and brought it to his mouth.

"Meow."

The little orange cat raised his body, glanced at Chu Yun  coldly, opened his mouth to bite the fish, and ate it in small bites, his posture was still a little dignified and elegant.

Chu Yun rubbed the little orange cat's hair with his fingers, and then smoothed it down so that the little orange cat would give him a wink when he took a bite of the fish. In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his neck vigorously and used his small head to touch him. He pushed his mischievous fingers apart and meowed angrily at him.

Then heard a heavy, uncontrollable sound coming from overhead.

"Don't be angry, eat slowly."

Chu Yun  pressed the little head and coaxed.

The little orange cat obviously didn't appreciate this rigid comfort at all. When the fish and meat were almost eaten, the body also absorbed a similar amount of lightness from the other's whole body. With his hands, he swooped down Chu Yun's legs and jumped onto the windowsill several times.

Turning back, he bared his teeth fiercely at Chu Yun, his chubby little head raised, his orange figure jumped out of the window like a real shadow, and melted into the night in the blink of an eye.

From the little orange cat jumping to the window sill to disappearing at the end, Chu Yun did not stop him from beginning to end.

When a cool night wind swept in from the window, blowing the coolness on his body, Chu Yunfeng finally regained his senses, and thoughtfully picked up his chopsticks and ate the rest of the meal.

At the same time, on a section of the mountain road near the gate of Shangqing Mountain, two qi-refining disciples were patrolling with lanterns.

After a few steps, one of the disciples suddenly turned his head and asked the other: "Did you hear anything? Like a cat meowing?"

The other disciple listened carefully and shook his head: "There is nothing. But on both sides of the mountain road that connects our Zongmen Mountain Gate to the Outer Gate, there are dense trees and scattered birds and beasts that are not raised at will in the Spirit Beast Garden. It's normal to have movement. If you're worried, let's test it with the waist card."

"Be careful."

The disciple who was suspicious of movement took out the patrol badge from his arms, and a light curtain shot out, reflecting the surrounding environment.

It was just that the night was silent, and nothing was found.

"Looks like nothing's wrong... "

The two disciples put away their patrol badges, and the glazed lanterns flickered slowly away.

It didn't take long for the light to fade away, and a wispy figure appeared in the shadow of the trees beside the mountain road.

Subtle moonlight shone down from the gaps in the treetops, vaguely illuminating a large piece of skin that was as white as ice jade, and two hairy ears that were rapidly disappearing.

Rong Qi was affected by the changes in his body, his left hand was slightly raised, and a set of white clothes wrapped in light blue shark gauze fell off his body, instantly wrapping Xiu's body.

He emerged from the shadows of the trees, with a hazy and elegant brilliance floating around him, a pair of eyes that were full of indifference and world-weariness raised all the year round, facing the moonlight and glanced in the direction of the gate of Qingshan Mountain, revealing a touch of Thinking color.

Rong Qi did not expect that this little devil cultivator was so courageous that he dared to come to Qingshan.

Back then, the bizarre double cultivation was not only a last resort, but also more throbbing, so he didn't stop Xiao Moxiu's severely traumatized body from absorbing his original aura. . I just didn't expect that Xiao Moxiu sucked so much, and after the incident, it directly triggered the shortcomings of his practice, which made him unable to maintain his body and turned into a delicate kitten.

The exercise he practiced is called "Three Swords of Creation".

This technique is also a sword technique. There are three swords and three stages. After being practiced, there will be a strange transformation of turning all things in the world into swords, and there will be powerful killings in which all things in the world can be smashed with a single sword.

The way of heaven and all things are not perfect, and all the powerful exercises in the world of self-cultivation today have more or less drawbacks and defects, which are unavoidable. During their practice, monks must not only compete with heaven and people, but also suppress the madness and shortcomings brought about by the practice, and compete with themselves.

"Three Swords of Creation", as the top-level exercise of the Thirteen Sects of the Evil Dao, has its flaws.

Its defect is that once the source of spiritual energy is damaged, or the state of mind of practice is unstable, the practitioner will randomly become one of all things in the world, and will be slightly or severely affected by the nature of this thing. It will not be recovered until the lost source aura is replenished through practice or when the mood is stabilized again.

Therefore, the meowing and stealing fish in front of Xiao Moxiu today were not made by him - that is the nature of all little wild cats!

Rong is old and firm.

In fact, because of Chu Yun's inhalation of his original aura, Rong Qi knew about him as soon as Chu Yun stepped into the vicinity of Shangqing Mountain.

After inhaling a lot of anger from the source of spiritual energy, and some inexplicable thoughts, he quietly slipped out of the cave, which was closed for several months, and ran to the mountain gate.

Originally, I just wanted to sneak a glance at Xiao Moxiu, but I didn't expect the sweet and sour fish to be quite tasty, and when I got close to Xiao Moxiu, I would still be able to suck back a little excess escaping source aura, allowing him to return to normal ahead of time.

However, after a few months, the little devil cultivator whose meridians and dantian had been repaired had only attained the first level of qi refinement.

It seems that there is a lack of a teacher to teach.

Rong Qi looked in the direction of the mountain gate, and there was a hint of strangeness and playfulness in his cold and deep pupils.

His figure quickly became transparent under the moon, and disappeared completely in a blink of an eye. The night wind blew the fallen leaves, not even a trace of breath.

Chu Yun did not know much about the troubles of his future life.

That night he lay down refreshingly, without dreams, and slept peacefully.

At noon the next day, when Chu Yun was fishing by the stream, he heard a loud noise from outside the mountain gate not far from the house, and someone suddenly shouted: "Look! Seven with the Qianlong card. This genius is going to cross the mountain gate and ascend to the sky!"

Chu Yun looked around, and saw a sudden light in front of him, and a blazing light in the distance.

After a breath, the rays of light subsided, and seven rays of brilliance, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, burst out, reaching the sky like a rainbow in the clear sky, covering all sides of the mountain gate.

These seven Hidden Dragon cards appeared together, as if inspiring something, and aura suddenly surged at the gate of Shangqing Mountain.

One after another, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered from all directions and poured into the seven rays of light in the rainbow, arousing the surrounding amazement and envy.

Chu Yun put away the fishing rod and headed towards the mountain gate. As soon as he approached, someone from the onlookers said in shock, "Young Master Xiao Hong actually went directly to the fourth floor of Qi Refining, so terrifying!"

"Young Master Xiaoqing is not bad, the third level of Qi refining! He had just introduced Qi into his body!"

"The little orange girl and the little green boy are still close to each other, they only rose to a level, it's a pity..."

After hearing the people around them, the seven people who were still smiling, all slowly stiffened. Among them, the little orange girl couldn't hold back, stomped her feet angrily, and argued, "Miss Ben. The surname is Murong, and the surname is not Orange!"

There were crowds of people from all sides, and it was not affected at all.

The seven people were helpless, and they could only run away and quickly rushed to the open road to the sky next to them, pretending that they didn't hear these messy names at all.

Chu Yun, who was very fortunate not to be awarded the title of Young Master Bai, stood quietly in place, and waited for the surrounding newspapers to finish the introduction, and after watching the excitement, the crowd gradually dispersed, and he took it out without anyone noticing. Qianlong card, ‌ on the way to the sky.
