    Back in his room on Demon Soul Peak, Jiang Chen lay on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off his shoes and socks.  This sleep lasted until the afternoon of the next day when I woke up.  Moreover, he didn't wake up by himself, but was woken up by a knock on the door.  Jiang Chen got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, put on his coat and opened the door. Outside the door was his senior brother Bu Zheng, who was close to him.  When Bu Zheng saw him coming out, he immediately asked: "Jiang Chen, why are you still sleeping? The peak master just announced that the quiz on Demon Soul Peak will be held in three days, and the students will be selected from among the registered disciples in the middle of the Qi Refining Period.  , select ten people to be promoted to outer disciples, please sign up soon! Registration will close in two days! I heard from Senior Brother Ran that you have advanced to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so I will inform you immediately.  Be prepared!" After a pause, he continued: "Although you have only advanced to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, it is unlikely that you will enter the top ten, but your understanding is very high, and what you lack is combat experience. You will be waiting for three years.  After your cultivation has improved, it will not be a big problem if you take the quiz! You should prepare yourself well!" After Jiang Chen heard about it, he realized that this senior brother was not optimistic about his participation in the quiz at all.  Test.  Little did he know that he had already made up his mind to become an outer disciple in one fell swoop.  He didn't want to defend himself, but just smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Bu, for your concern! I'll do my best, little brother!" "Well! Then I'll go back first You can take this bottle of spiritual wine and drink it! During the spell practice,  But it's quite useful!" Bu Zheng took out a green wine bottle from his arms and handed it to Jiang Chen.  "Spiritual wine?" Jiang Chen took the bottle and was slightly surprised.  Bu Zheng nodded and said: "Yes! Spirit wine is brewed from spirit fruits. There are many types, suitable for immortal cultivators in different periods. It cannot directly improve the cultivation level of immortal cultivators like spiritual pills, nor can it directly improve the cultivation level of immortal cultivators.  It cannot instantly replenish the spiritual power of a cultivator like a spiritual stone, but it can slowly restore the spiritual power consumed by the cultivator without causing any harm to the body. " Jiang Chen also nodded slightly, he naturally knew what was inside the spiritual stone!  The spiritual power is relatively violent, and direct absorption and utilization will often cause damage to the meridians of the immortal cultivator's body.  "Of course, after taking spiritual wine, there is a certain lag period. It gradually restores spiritual power, usually within an hour, so it is not very suitable for combat. But it is more useful when practicing spells.  It takes much less time to recover than relying on meditation, and the price of spiritual wine is relatively cheap, which is more suitable for practicing spells and taking it during long-term consumption." Bu Zheng explained.  Jiang Chen had heard of the use of spiritual wine before and knew it was a good thing. However, since he had always been poor, he did not buy spiritual wine to drink.  But now is the critical moment and it should be used.  After thanking Bu Zheng and sending Bu Zheng off, Jiang Chen first went to the Deacon Hall in Demon Soul Peak to sign up for the quiz. Then he took the spirit wine and prepared to practice his spells to see if he could improve his spells by one level.  possible.  He secretly thought that the will-o'-the-wisp technique had only been upgraded to the third level half a year ago, and he was afraid that he would not be able to upgrade it again now.  However, Netherworld Ghost Claw himself had a vague feeling that he was about to break through. After his cultivation level improved to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he might be able to strike while the iron was hot and strive to be promoted to the second level.  He did not go to the spell practice field because there were too many people practicing there, and many of them were very likely to be his opponents in the quiz.  He doesn't want his strength to be controlled by others.  Jiang Chen then walked straight to a barren hillside at the back of Demon Soul Peak and began to try to cast the Netherworld Ghost Claw ***************************  *************************************** Just when Jiang Chen was diligently practicing his spells, Demon Soul Peak  On the edge of another cliff inside, several Qi Refining Stage disciples gathered together to discuss matters.  These people are exactly a group of disciples headed by Liu Yang, who can be regarded as members of the deacon disciple Liu Qingchuan's line in Demon Soul Peak.  "Senior Brother Liu, in this sect quiz, there are more than 300 qualified registered disciples in the peak, but there are only ten places to be promoted to outer sect disciples. There are really too many monks and too little food! I heard that the other peaks are all twenty  There are twenty-five places, not to mention Tianyou Peak, which has thirty places. Although there are more people in these peaks than us, the number of places given to them is not more than twice that of ours!"  Disciple said.  After hearing this, Liu Yang was also a little dissatisfied and said: "Isn't this because our Demon Soul Peak's status in the sect is too low Humph! Speaking of which, it is still to blame that our Demon Soul Peak has fewer golden elixir stage monks, and only the peak  The master is alone, and the peak master is only in the early stage of the Golden Core. Naturally, he can't speak up in the sect! There are two or three Golden Core cultivators in other peaks, such as the peak masters of Tianming Peak and Tianxie Peak.  He is a middle-stage Jindan cultivator, so of course he has a higher status!" Another personAfter hearing this, my wife immediately said flatteringly: "However, if Master Liu can advance to the Golden Core stage, then our Demon Soul Peak's status must be improved to some extent!" "Well! My father is already at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.  If he successfully forms the elixir, not only our Demon Soul Peak, but also my status will be greatly improved!" Liu Yang said with a smile: "By then, I can eat it.  Serving the meat will definitely guarantee that everyone will have soup!" When everyone heard this, their faces burst into laughter, and there was a chorus of flattery.  "By the way, I have been busy attacking the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage in the past two years, and I have not paid much attention to the situation of our group. Among the registered disciples who have joined us now, how many of them are qualified to participate in this quiz? How sure is it?  Is it big?" Liu Yang asked.  "Oh, Senior Brother Liu, there have been some new casual cultivators in the peak in the past two years. Their cultivation level is about the fourth to sixth levels in the Qi Refining Stage. Twenty-two of them are willing to stand on Senior Uncle Liu's side. These people are going to fight for the outer sect.  The qualifications of the disciples are more certain In addition, six of the people who were originally from our sect have advanced to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, but they probably have no hope of winning!" Another disciple said matter-of-factly!  .  "Well, more than 300 people are competing for ten places. It would be pretty good if our twenty-eight people can occupy three seats in the top ten." Liu Yang touched his nose and said.  He also knew that Xiao Jincheng and Sima Xin's faction were not weak.  Of course, among the registered disciples, the most numerous ones are neutral disciples who are not from any sect.  "However, Senior Brother Liu, there is an abnormal situation among Xiao Jincheng's group!" A disciple named Kang Wu thought for a moment and said cautiously.  "Oh? Could it be that some stronger casual cultivators have joined their faction?" Liu Yang asked with squinted eyes.  "It's not a casual cultivator, it's one of them" Kang Wu explained: "It's Jiang Chen who we have always looked down on before. As a cultivator, he was also asked to clean up the garbage!" "Jiang Chen? He is the one with miscellaneous spiritual roots.  You're a waste!" Liu Yang still had a deep impression of Jiang Chen.  He said with disdain: "Although this person has some talent in spell cultivation, his cultivation level is too low. He is only at the second level of Qi Refining Stage now. He is not even qualified to participate in the sect's quiz. What are you worried about?"  After listening to this, Kang Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Liu, you have underestimated him. Jiang Chen is not only on the second level of the Qi Refining Stage now! He is a monk on the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage! I heard from people in the Deacon Hall that Jiang Chen  "I came to register for the quiz a few hours ago." "What? How can a person with mixed spiritual roots practice so fast?" Liu said.  Yang asked with wide eyes.  "The reason is not clear. I heard that Bu Zheng went to Xiao Jincheng and asked for some Yuhuang Pills for him to take, so his cultivation level increased so fast!" Kang Wu said cautiously.  "Is Xiao Jincheng crazy? Giving so many pills to a disciple with mixed spiritual roots?" Liu Yang said contemptuously.  "Wellit seems that Jiang Chen has often gone to the alchemy room to refine alchemy in the past two years. Maybe Xiao Jincheng thinks that this kid can be trained into an alchemy master!" Kang Wu said after thinking for a while.  "Tch! This boy has some talent in practicing magic, which has surprised me. I don't believe that this boy can become an alchemist!" Liu Yang looked disdainful.  However, after thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes and said: "Although the possibility of this kid becoming an alchemist is very small, we still have to prepare for a rainy day. Tomorrow, the Deacon Hall in Fengnei will schedule the quiz. I will go and tell my father.  Let's do some tricks on the schedule and arrange for some of our powerful figures to compete with Jiang Chen in the quiz! Anyway, Xiao Jincheng will not be in charge of the assessment!  Let's fight in a row." A fierce light flashed in Liu Yang's eyes.  At this time, another disciple named Xiong Jie warned tremblingly: "Senior Brother Liu, the sect's quiz is a waste of time. As long as the opponent shouts to admit defeat, you can't continue the fight!" "You're so scared! ! Although the rules are like this, how can you just stop when there is a fight? In the past few sect quizzes, weren't there only a few disciples who were killed and injured? After being held in confinement for a few days, he was released! All the treatment had no impact After all, the loser meant that he was inferior in skill, and the winner was superior in skill! Both the sect master and the peak master knew that they should be more skillful. Disciples who are worse than others should still prefer disciples who are inferior to others" Liu Yang chuckled and said, "So please tell me that those in our group who are participating in the assessment will not show mercy if they encounter Jiang Chen during the quiz! I will reward those who are imprisoned with two hundred spiritual stones!" When the disciples heard this, they all gasped, two hundred spiritual stones!For outer disciples like them, a stone is not a small amount, and some even wish they could be downgraded to registered disciples to participate in quiz competitions.  "Okay! Go and inform our people to prepare well! Don't embarrass me in this peak test!" Liu Yang said coldly.  Naturally, everyone quickly said yes, and then went to notify the Liu faction in Demon Soul Peak.  ***************************************************  ************* At this time, Jiang Chen, who was practicing spells on the mountain behind Demon Soul Peak, had just identified a big tree and recited a spell silently.  Now, Jiang Chen has become extremely proficient in reciting the unspeakable Netherworld Ghost Claw spell.  Soon, as he finished reciting the incantation, the spiritual energy in Jiang Chen's body immediately began to surge, and clouds of black mist began to emerge in the air above his head, churning and shaking, emitting a hint of eerie and terrifying sound.  breath.  At this time, three black ghost claws appeared from his sleeves, carrying a strong ghost aura, floating in front of Jiang Chen.  These three ghost claws are all about the size of a plate, exuding a faint white scale light.  At this time, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he shouted lowly. The three ghost claws, carrying three tracks of black mist, flew towards the big tree in the distance at lightning speed, and made bursts of sharp sounds during the flight.  The ghost howls.  Just listen to the sound of "Puff, Puff" one after another. After three ghost claws dug into the big tree, the tree shook violently, some dead branches and leaves fell down, and three big cracks appeared on the trunk  After a while, the big tree shook violently, but it did not break.  "Well, if I can cast four ghost claws at once, I believe I can break this big tree in one fell swoop However, it is a huge leap from casting three ghost claws to four ghost claws.  . If I can cast and master four ghost claws at the same time, it means that my "Netherworld Ghost Claw" technique has reached the second level!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.  The technique of Netherworld Ghost Claw can also be regarded as the signature technique of Tianmo Sect. It was created by the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect. It is divided into levels one to nine. It is said that if the Netherworld Ghost Claw can be practiced to the ninth level, it will be regarded as the stage of transformation into gods.  Even the masters are hard to beat.  However, in order to refine the ninth-level Netherworld Ghost Claw, I heard that the monk's cultivation level is also required to reach the stage of becoming a god.  This makes people quite speechless.  Jiang Chen felt that he had touched the threshold of the second level of Netherworld Ghost Claw, and it seemed that he was just a little bit close to breaking through the bottleneck.  Let¡¯s try again.  Jiang Chen thought to himself.  At this time, he first took out the bottle of spiritual wine given by Bu Zheng, drank a few gulps, then sat down to recuperate for a while, fully recovering the lost spiritual power and consciousness, and then tried to calm down.  Adjust your physical and mental state to optimal condition.  Afterwards, Jiang Chen concentrated his energy again, began to recite the spell silently, mobilized his spiritual power, and used the Netherworld Ghost Claw again At this moment, the air around him turned from transparent to black, and groups of demonic spirits shrouded his body.  On the surface of his body, three ghost claws were instantly generated and quickly rotated around him.  However, only half of the fourth Netherworld Ghost Claw was formed, and the last half was never formed.  But at this time, Jiang Chen felt that his spiritual power was somewhat unsustainable.  "It seems that my cultivation level is still a little low! No matter how high my understanding is, it won't work!" Jiang Chen sighed.  Generally speaking, Netherworld Ghost Claw cannot be cultivated to the second level until the later stage of Qi Refining, because it requires higher spiritual power from monks. Not to mention monks like Jiang Chen who have just been promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining.  It is also difficult for a monk at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage to cast four Netherworld Ghost Claws at the same time.  Jiang Chen was already able to cast three Netherworld Ghost Claws at the same time when he was at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, which was already quite powerful among the monks at Demon Soul Peak.  Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and persisted, violently outputting the remaining spiritual power in his body. At the same time, he took out a spiritual stone from the storage bag and crushed it violently A trace of spiritual power flowed from his palm like a trickle.  It poured into the body like a trickle, followed the seven meridians and eight meridians into the sea of ??consciousness in Dantian, and then followed his will, contributing to the concentration of the fourth Netherworld Ghost Claw.  Jiang Chen¡¯s energy was highly concentrated at this moment, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead.  He felt that his consciousness and spiritual power had reached a limit But just when Jiang Chen felt exhausted and spiritual power was running low, he was surprised to see that the fourth ghost claw miraculously condensed into shape  ¡­ ¡°Go! Attack that big tree!¡± Jiang Chen scolded, he had exhausted even the last drop of spiritual power at this moment.  "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" I saw four ghost claws carrying four masses of black mist, emitting a faint white scale light, and a hint of eerie and terrifying aura, flying straight towards the big tree just now like sharp arrows.   I only heard a loud "bang"There was a sound, and the big tree was suddenly broken by the ghost's claws, and suddenly fell to the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust.  After using all his strength to send out four ghost claws, Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold on any longer. He felt dazed for a while, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground and fainted.  After about half an hour, Jiang Chen woke up.  He gasped and stood up, looking at the big tree on the ground that had been cut off at the waist, as well as the traces of ghost claws on the broken part of the tree.  My heart suddenly became ecstatic.  He has clearly felt that the Dantian sea of ??consciousness in his body has expanded by more than 10%. Even if his original spiritual power is fully restored, it is estimated that it can only be filled to 90%.  "It seems that the upgrade of this 'Netherworld Ghost Claw' technique" can also drive the growth of one's own cultivation. No wonder it is one of the signature techniques of our Tianmo Sect!  "Jiang Chen thought secretly in his heart. A hint of enlightenment also arose in his heart, and there was a warm feeling all over his body. He only felt that the scope of his spiritual consciousness had also expanded a little. After exhausting all his mental and spiritual power just now, the entire  Human physical strength has reached its limit, but now it has tapped into some of its physical potential. Now, the range of its spiritual consciousness has been expanded from the original thirty feet to thirty-five feet, even if it cannot be compared with the seventh-level monks in the Qi Refining Stage.  Although the upgrading of skills will not directly help oneself to transform like the improvement of cultivation level, such subtle changes will still be of great benefit to one¡¯s body. ¡°Go back and take good care of yourself first.  Take a break!  "Jiang Chen said to himself: "Although I can't say that I will definitely be able to reach the top ten in the peak test, at least I have a little confidence!  " Now, he is even looking forward to this sect quiz coming soon! He wants to make all the people who didn't think highly of himself or looked down on him before understand that they have misjudged the wrong person! After three years of hard work, now is the time to become a blockbuster.  Now he no longer needs to keep a low profile! Three days passed by, and soon it was the day of the sect test. Jiang Chen woke up early and adjusted his mental and physical strength to the best.  He walked with firm and steady steps toward the quiz site on the top of Demon Soul Peak (Although only two chapters were updated this morning, the weight of these two chapters is more than 10,000 words.  It¡¯s been three or four chapters! Xinchen is confident enough to ask for your votes and collections!)
