Su Ming took his consciousness back from the storage bag and patted the dust off his body.

He put the talisman pen and the remaining blank talisman paper into the storage bag, and with a wave of his hand, he wrapped up all the waste talisman paper and residues left in the talisman making process and put them into the storage bag.

The number of talismans that Su Ming made every day far exceeded that of normal cultivators. This must not be noticed by others. When the time comes, these residues can be buried in a random hilltop without anyone noticing.

After dealing with the traces in the room, Su Ming opened the window to let the air in the room circulate and dissipate the smell of spiritual ink produced when refining talismans.

After doing this, Su Ming nodded to confirm that there was nothing missing, and then left the room and went to the courtyard to start his daily practice of spells and magic tools.

An hour later, Su Ming returned to the house, reopened the ban, set up the water spirit gathering array, placed a few spiritual stones, and began his daily essential daily practice.

Su Ming would not sleep for two hours until he finished his practice.

After a year of hard training, even with the help of the Water Spirit Gathering Array, he could only make further progress in the accumulation of mana at the fifth level of Qi Refining. It would take another two or three years of hard training to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This is the way of cultivating immortals.

Boring, lonely...

Su Ming, who is not as talented as others, wants to achieve immortality and ask for the way, and it is natural for him to make several times the effort.

Every powerful cultivator who travels between heaven and earth cannot do without this accumulation process.

......

The next day, at the time of Yin, the sky was dawning.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, and the skill "Water Spirit Jue" slowly operated, performing a small Zhoutian cycle, refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation.

After completing his daily meditation practice, Su Ming did not continue his "drawing talismans" as usual, but stretched his waist, put the Water Spirit Gathering Array back into the storage bag, opened the restriction and walked out of the cave.

As of today, the one-year chores of the Talisman Hall have ended. Su Ming has to hand over the task and go to the main hall of the Talisman Hall.

As an outer disciple, it is normally impossible to join the Talisman Hall.

However, according to Senior Brother Chang Yun, the Talisman Hall is now short of staff, and decided to make an exception to leave two of the five outer disciples to officially join the Talisman Hall.

Su Ming naturally cannot miss this good thing that falls from the sky.

At present, as long as they join the Talisman Hall, even if they do not have the late stage of Qi Refining, they can enjoy the salary of the Talisman Hall, enjoy the first-level superior spiritual veins, and be exempted from the pain of chores.

Since the five outer disciples including Su Ming learned of this news half a year ago, the five people who had a good relationship and exchanged their experience in the way of talismans from time to time have become strangers, and even wished that the other party would get out of the Talisman Hall as soon as possible.

This situation is actually very common in Guiyuan Sect. Even the resources of the Yuanying Sect are limited, and the resources that the outer disciples with low qualifications and cultivation can obtain are pitifully few.

This situation is completely deliberately done by the sect leaders.

In this cruel world of cultivating immortals, you can't go far without fighting or robbing.

In his own sect, he can't compete with his fellow disciples unless his life is in danger. If he goes out, he will be a waste. It is impossible to compete with the disciples of other sects.

In this situation, Su Ming basically stayed in his cave, and learned in a simple way. Occasionally, he went out to ask Chang Yun, an inner disciple of the Fulu Hall, for advice.

For this, Su Ming also spent a lot of spirit stones.

Su Ming didn't want to show off, but his opponent was "too weak".

According to his observations over the past year, the remaining four fellow disciples were able to pass the third month's assessment with great difficulty. The talismans they refined were simply unsightly in Su Ming's eyes, and they barely reached the normal first-level low-grade talisman standard.

In this situation, Su Ming only needed to make a slight move to have the confidence to suppress other fellow disciples.

The most crucial point!

The other four fellows who competed were all disciples of the "separate courtyard faction" like Su Ming. They had no background in the sect and did not need to worry about provoking high-level cultivators.

If the competitor was a "family faction" cultivator, Su Ming would have to consider whether to compete for the status of a formal disciple of the Fulu Hall.

......

Walking out of the cave, the sky was still gray, and a faint mist surrounded the giant stone peak. The mountain was silent, as if the birds and beasts had not woken up yet.

"Junior brother Su, I haven't seen you leave the cave for a long time. I thought you forgot the day when the mission ended, and I was going to find you."

A faint laugh came into his ears, and Chang Yun, wearing a white robe, led four figures towards Su Ming.

Among the four, three men and one woman, all were cultivators of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Among them, the tall, beautiful, and charming female cultivator was named Jiang Caiyun, a cultivator of the three spiritual roots of "gold, water, and earth". She was in the same class as Su Ming in Guiyuan Branch.

At the age of 20, she reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and was considered a relatively outstanding figure in Su Ming's class. She had many friends among the disciples of the "Apartment School" and many suitors. In Su Ming's memory, her personality was a bit arrogant.

Since leaving Guiyuan Apartment, Su Ming avoided such women who were prone to trouble, and there was no intersection between the two.

Su Ming did not expect that the two would re-intersect because of the miscellaneous affairs of the Fulu Hall.

The remaining three men, from left to right, the one with a horse face was called Sun Yuan, and the one with pockmarks on his face was called Hu Wei, both of whom were three spiritual root cultivators.

The last one has a resolute face and a strong build. He is around twenty-six years old. He is the oldest of the five. His name is Zhang Ning. Like Su Ming, he is a fourth-line pseudo-spiritual root cultivator. He reached the sixth level of Qi training at the age of sixteen, which shows how hard he works in daily practice.

However, Zhang Ning was somewhat withdrawn, and Su Ming had little communication with him.

"I've met Senior Brother Chang, and all the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters." Su Ming cupped his hands and said hello to a few people, and then said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Chang was joking. Compared to all Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, Junior Brother has a low cultivation level. I work hard every day to complete the refining of the talisman, so I naturally don’t have time to go out.”

Sun Yuan, who was following Chang Yun, smiled and joked: "Junior Brother Su, you are being humble. The quality of the talismans you refine is not low. It is among the best among us!"

"Junior Brother Su's diligence is beyond compare!" Seeing this, Hu Wei shook his head and said seriously.

"Senior Brother Sun, Senior Brother Hu, you two, please don't undermine me. Junior Brother, I have low qualifications. I am still at the fifth level of Qi Refining, so I have to work hard to make up for my shortcomings."

Su Ming shook his head, not daring to let the two of them continue talking, fearing that some shocking words would come out of their mouths. He cupped his hands in front of the two of them and said calmly: "Senior brothers, their magic power is becoming more and more refined. I want to break through the distance." The seventh level of Qi Refining is not far away, and we will probably be able to enter the inner gate soon."

After hearing Su Ming's words, the two of them stopped talking.

Jiang Caiyun, who was also standing next to the two of them, didn't know what he was thinking. His expression was a little depressed, his eyes darkened, and he sighed: "How can the evaluation of the later stages of Qi refining be so easy to break through? Thousands of casual cultivators have not been able to break through in Qi refining in their entire lives." There is a bottleneck in the late stage of Qi training. I haven’t cultivated to the sixth level of Qi training yet, and it’s still early to reach the bottleneck!”

Jiang Caiyun's words made everyone feel melancholy. Zhang Ning, who had been silent all this time, said: "God rewards hard work. Cultivation as an immortal is to go against the will of heaven. Some setbacks are normal."

Hearing this, Chang Yun, who was an inner disciple, smiled and said, "Junior brother Zhang is right! God rewards hard work. There are many seniors who have cultivated the five-system waste spirit roots in the immortal world to the Nascent Soul stage. As long as they work hard, they will always be able to achieve success." There will be hope for foundation building!”

Chang Yun smiled and comforted a few words, then led Su Ming and the other five people towards the main hall of Fu Lu Hall.
