"Master, the atmosphere on the mountain has been tense recently. I'm afraid someone will make an article on this competition. The disciple has just broken through..."

Although he knew that he couldn't escape, Li Mu still struggled as much as possible.

Zhou Qingyun gave a reassuring look and said with a smile: "You kid are thinking a lot. Relax. The world has not been peaceful recently. The door plans to take this opportunity to hit the restless forces in the world.

So this competition is not only you, but also the Five Mountains Alliance will send disciples to participate. At that time, there will be friends from all walks of life to watch the ceremony, and no one will cause trouble on such occasions.

There may be competition challenges after the competition. This is the best opportunity for you to become famous, don’t waste it.”

Li Mu was deeply relieved after hearing this explanation. Although the internal struggle between the two Sects of Sword Qi was strong, when it came to the outside world, everyone was still a whole family.

Since there are outsiders present, this competition is not a fight between sword energy.

It’s right to think about it. Although there is no specific time for the battle between sword energy in the original work, it can be roughly judged by the age of the protagonists appearing.

Yue Buqun and I were both in the same period. The age gap should not be too big. I guess they are only in their twenties.

Considering that after the battle for sword energy, Yue Buqun succeeded to the position of head of the sect not long after, it can be judged that his martial arts skills had already achieved some success at that time.

At the worst, it also breaks through the first-class level, otherwise there would be no way to support the Huashan portal in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

Huashan martial arts focuses on the foundation and is not outstanding in terms of cultivation speed. From second-rate to first-rate, it is impossible to have ten or eight years under normal circumstances.

However, considering that the situation in Huashan was critical at that time, the leader of the sect was likely to use the foundation of the sect, and this time might be in half.

It can't be faster. A genius treasure that can greatly improve its cultivation is hard to come by, and fewer can be preserved for a long time. Moreover, the basic potential must be considered, so there is even less room for choice.

You should know that during the invasion of the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect in the previous period, the Huashan Sect's foundation has been consumed once. In recent years, it has been involved in a battle of sword energy and has not been supplemented at all.

With four or five years of buffering, Li Mu finally let go of his heart. It is unrealistic to eliminate the dispute over sword energy, but he is still sure to protect himself.

"Don't worry, Master. Disciple will not disappoint you."

Since you can't escape, then face it calmly. Anyway, there are many talented disciples in the Huashan Sect. As long as you are not too excited, you will not be shocked even if you make a little bit of a limelight.

Besides, Li Mu's current strength is probably slightly stronger than the "Qingcheng Four Shows" in the opening of Xiaonao's show. He can't be ranked in the world at all, and he can't make any waves even if he wants to make trouble.

The platform built in this sect was not prepared for him. The senior brothers who really took the opportunity to become famous and made a name for themselves were the ones who started earlier.

The best of them have even broken through the first-class realm and are not much worse than the older generation. These are the protagonists of this drama.

"Um."

He seemed very satisfied with Li Mu's reaction. After a slight pause, Zhou Qingyun added:

"The competition is imminent. Bumu's cultivation has just been broken through. He needs to consolidate his realm and cannot be distracted from other things. Bufan informed the Interior Hall and exempted your junior brother from his three-year sect mission."

There is no doubt that the "big contest" is just an excuse, and Zhou Qingyun's real purpose is to take the opportunity to seek benefits for his disciples.

Without rules, there is no order. As a martial arts sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the Huashan sect naturally has an operating system.

According to the rules of the sect, after the new disciples have entered the sect for ten years, they must start to undertake the sect tasks.

Elite disciples have preferential treatment, but this preferential treatment is limited to scheduling easier tasks and having more time to practice.

It is impossible not to work, this is the rule of the sect. After all, people in the world also have to eat. If they are all considered rice worms, then what should these thousands of people eat?

Like Li Mu, who was a new junior brother and junior sister who practiced swords before, it was a relatively easy sect task. Not only did the task time be short, it could also stay on the mountain. If you encounter cultivation problems, you can ask the teacher at any time.

Of course, there is a reason why this "good task" can fall on Li Mu. If the junior brother and his junior sisters' cultivation progress fail to meet the standards, the leader of his team will also be punished.

The benefits of delivering them to the door are not for nothing. Li Mu hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you for your care, my disciple is really..."

This is the truth. Although Zhou Qingyun is a bit square and rigid, he treats them like him well.

Zhou Qingyun interrupted and said, "Okay, don't hesitate, we master and apprentice don't need to say this."

Since you have made a breakthrough, you should consider the issue of changing the internal strength and mind method.

Huashan Mind Technique is indeed a top internal skill. Theoretically, it can even be practiced until the innate level, and is one of the highest limits of Huashan School.

Looking around the world, Huashan Mind Technique is one of the top foundation-building techniques. It not only allows you to make the foundation pragmatic, but also has a certain weakening effect when breaking through the realm.

The only problem is that the cultivation speed is too slow.”

"Master, if you just practice slowly but have the effect of weakening the bottleneck, can you make up for it?"

Li Mu asked in confusion.

You should know that the most important reason why there are few masters in the martial arts world is the "bottleneck". And the later stage, the more difficult it is to break through the realm you face.

Zhou Qingyun smiled and then explained: "If it's just average slowness, it's naturally not a problem. Genius treasures are rare, but I still have ordinary auxiliary resources.

But the problem is that Huashan’s mental method is unusually slower, especially after the fourth level, it is less than one-third of the speed of ordinary internal energy cultivation. Even if it can weaken the bottleneck of cultivation, it is just weakening, which does not mean that it will definitely be able to break through.

You have excellent talent and smooth practice, and you may not feel it deeply. Just look at your senior brother Bufan. You will know that your cultivation level reached the third-rate peak two years ago. Now you are still stuck there.

If you are lucky, you may be able to break through tomorrow; if you are not lucky, it will be normal for another three to five years. Most of the inner disciples of my Huashan Sect can break through the second-rate realm when they are around 30 years old.

With your qualifications, if you transfer to other internal skills, you will probably reach the second-rate peak in seven or eight years. If you are lucky, you may be able to break through to the first-rate before you are thirty years old. There is even hope to get a glimpse of the mystery of the top in the future.

If you continue to practice the Huashan Mind Method, it will take at least 30 years to reach the first-class threshold. Even if it is a smooth breakthrough, but your age is already there, how many years will it be in the peak period?
