Xu Jun had no intention of harming the fourth-level spiritual plant.
The reason why he worked so hard was that no matter how he urged the thunder method, the white-haired silver needle tree was always expressing a meaning with his spiritual consciousness.
"More, more, more."
So Xu Jun used all his strength.
It lasted for a full half an hour, and the last bit of lightning power in the space method body was also squeezed out by him.
If he continued, I am afraid that even the sleeping thunder hammer would be affected, and even the origin would be damaged. Xu Jun would naturally not do such a thing.
With a retraction of his wrist, the lightning disappeared.
Then, he saw Ye Wanqing's face full of surprise.
Obviously, the power of the thunder method he showed should be a little beyond Principal Ye's expectations.
However, even though Xu Jun had gone all out, the white-haired silver needle tree did not even damage the skin at all.
Xu Jun had to say that the gap between foundation building and the fourth level...
was indeed so large that it could not be made up.
"Shua shua shua..."
Twenty leaves fell from the sky. They were controlled by some kind of power and fell quietly into Xu Jun's arms.
Xu Jun took it in his hand and immediately felt the surging spiritual power contained in it.
Ye Wanqing's face was full of envy that he couldn't hide, and he said, "Why don't you thank Grandpa Bai quickly?"
Xu Jun immediately understood that these twenty leaves were probably extraordinary.
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Bai."
Another divine sense flashed: "Come more."
Then, the divine sense converged and no longer dissipated.
Ye Wanqing looked up in surprise, took a deep look at the hundred-meter-high giant tree, and then said, "I obey the law."
He winked at Xu Jun, and the two retreated quietly.
After walking away, Ye Wanqing said with joy: "Xu Jun, Grandpa Bai likes you very much. Among the twenty leaves he gave you, three are of the fourth level. You can use them to make tea to quickly increase your spiritual consciousness. Oh, by the way, drink the third level first..."
Xu Jun looked at the spiritual tea in his hand, and sure enough, three of them were particularly conspicuous.
He turned his mind slightly and said, "Principal Ye, here you go..."
Ye Wanqing waved his hand and said, "No need. I have been in the Taoist Palace for hundreds of years and have drunk enough. Drinking more will not increase my spiritual consciousness. But you need it." He said solemnly, "Remember to hide it well, drink it yourself, and don't give it to others."
Seeing Ye Wanqing so cautious, Xu Jun nodded and carefully put the tea leaves away.
In the past, he would put precious things into the ring given by Yuhui.
However, after having a space body, this ring is just a chicken rib.
Under the leadership of Ye Wanqing, they soon came to a cave.
The cave door has been opened. What surprised Xu Jun was that an old man with a fairy-like appearance was standing at the cave door.
Although Xu Jun had never seen Huang Kan in person, the image of the True Lord was something that every student in the Natural Dao Palace had to worship when they enrolled.
Therefore, as long as he was not blind, he would be able to recognize the other person's identity at a glance.
"Meet the principal."
"Okay, no need to be polite." Huang Kan smiled and said, "Xu Jun, you gave me countless surprises today."
His words were also very meaningful.
Because there is only a one-word difference between surprise and shock. However, in front of a junior who had established his foundation, as a True Lord of the Nascent Soul, he could not say such words anyway.
Xu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Principal."
Huang Kan waved his hand and said, "Now that you have established your foundation, go to the Daozi Arena. Ten days later, you will be honored as the Daozi." He paused and said, "I heard from Xiao Ye that you want to serve the Immortal Alliance as soon as possible. This is a good intention and worth considering, but take the Daozi position first, it's safer."
Safer?
Xu Jun was slightly startled. Is there any mystery about the Daozi position?
Ye Wanqing whispered on the side, "What the principal means is that if you go to Fengshan Blessed Land as an individual and as a Daozi of the Natural Dao Palace, the commander of the blessed land will have a different attitude towards you."
He said slowly, "With the Daozi identity, no one dares to force you to do anything. As long as you feel dangerous, you can flatly refuse any order."
Xu Jun suddenly realized that it was to guard against his own people.
Although Xu Jun did not think that he would encounter any danger in a second-level spiritual land, he was quite grateful for the kindness of the two principals.
"Thank you, both principals." Xu Jun said sincerely. Ye
Wanqing added, "Also, once you obtain the status of Daozi, you can go to the treasury to choose a magic weapon, and then you can also get a Daozi nameplate. On this nameplate, you can ask the principal to engrave a spell, which can save your life at a critical moment."
Xu Jun raised his eyebrows. This time, apart from gratitude, there was really nothing else to say.
No wonder these two people asked themselves to obtain the status of Daozi before going. It turned out that they were double-insured.
Huang Kan smiled and nodded, saying, "Go, come back in ten days. However, you can think about what type of spell you need me to engrave for you."
"Yes."
The two left, and Xu Jun humbly asked, "Principal Ye, what spell do you think I should ask Zhenjun to engrave?"
He didn't know what Zhenjun Huang Kan was good at. If he wanted to maximize his benefits, of course he had to ask the man in front of him.
Ye Wanqing was well prepared and said, "The principal is a fourth-level talisman master, proficient in all types of talismans. So, you just need to strengthen your weaknesses."
"My weaknesses?" Xu Jun was a little worried. What were his weaknesses?
Ye Wanqing said this with a grin, because he couldn't think of what Xu Jun, who had practiced swordsmanship, physical training, and had achieved the goal of proving the truth with force, still lacked.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Forget it, you go ask the principal for a defensive technique. After all, it is a fourth-level technique, and there may be a chance that you can use it."
Xu Jun thought about it and felt that it made sense.
I may not be able to use the fourth-level defensive method, but I must have this method.
Following Ye Wanqing, he came to the central square.
This is the largest martial arts hall in the Taoist Palace, and every year the freshman challenge is held here.
"Xu Jun, are you ready?"
"The students are ready."
"Okay." Ye Wanqing suddenly spoke, saying: "Xu Jun, a student of the Dao Palace, has built a foundation for immortality and wants to win the position of Daozi. Today, the Daozi Arena is set up in the Central Martial Arts Hall to welcome all Dao Palace students to challenge. Within ten days, anyone who wants to be a Daozi can enter the arena."
The voice of this sentence was not loud, but it spread throughout the Dao Palace.
Except for those who were in retreat and were protected by magic, no matter what the others were doing, they could hear it clearly.
Then, Xu Jun's watch also lit up, and this sentence appeared.
In this way, I dare not say that everyone can know, but at least most of the students have been notified.
Xu Jun's figure flashed and landed on the arena. He was eager to try.
Daozi challenge, let him see the foundation of the Natural Dao Palace!
Ten minutes later, the crowd gathered in the square gradually increased. However, after seeing Ye Wanqing, everyone watched from a distance and did not dare to gather.
Finally, a ray of light broke through the sky and fell on the arena.
"Hao Tong from the Five Elements Branch, please teach me, junior."
There was some commotion in the crowd in the distance.
"Hey, someone is really on stage."
"Doesn't he know about Junior Xu's record?"
"Yes, he won the first place in the martial arts competition of the Three Great Dao Palace Elite Exchange Meeting."
"So what? It's not a big deal to challenge him anyway. What if?"
Xu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Xu Jun from the Sword Dao Branch, please teach me, senior."
Hao Tong nodded and said, "Junior, I know I'm not your opponent, but after all, it's a challenge from a Taoist. We can't let you wait on the stage for ten days. It would be too embarrassing for us seniors to tell others."
After saying that, he turned his wrist and took out a long whip.
Xu Jun knew at a glance that this was a third-level magic weapon.
Students of the Dao Palace are so good!
As long as you can build a foundation, you are qualified to go to the treasure house to choose a magic weapon.
Of course, whether the magic weapon you choose recognizes you and whether it can be driven depends on fate and cultivation.
This senior is a lucky one. He found a third-level magic weapon that can drive part of its power.
And this is also the biggest reason why he has the courage to go on stage.
"Be careful, junior brother."
After Hao Dan finished speaking, he took the initiative to swing his long whip and whipped over.
Suddenly, a crisp sound exploded in the void, and a series of light and shadows fell on Xu Jun's head.
Every light and shadow here actually has the power of a full-strength attack by an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
In the blink of an eye, there are hundreds of such attacks, which is worthy of being a third-level magic weapon.
Even if it can only release part of its power, it is enough to kill ordinary people of the same level in seconds.
Xu Jun smiled slightly, he did not retreat a single step, just casually pointed.
Suddenly, hundreds of sword qi were released, they were actually single, and did not form a sword diagram.
Swish.
Every sword qi met a light and shadow.
After the thousand swords formed a formation and triggered the true meaning of the Great Dao, all of Xu Jun's sword qi received the blessing of the great power of the Great Dao.
Now, the power of his sword energy has also been greatly improved. Compared with the Qi training period, it is at least three times greater. This does not include the blessing of the five elements rotation of the sword diagram, otherwise its power is even more unfathomable.
However, now Xu Jun just wants to try the power of pure sword energy.
In the sky, a violent light and gas collided and intertwined.
Xu Jun's sword energy actually withstood the attack of the magic weapon. The two collided and melted together. In terms of pure power, Xu Jun's sword energy can actually resist part of the power of the magic weapon.
Of course, this is because the magic weapon is in the hands of this senior in the middle stage of foundation building.
If it were a Jindan Zhenren, he would never dare to be so arrogant.
But even so, the people below the ring were a little frightened when they saw it.
Ye Wanqing sighed secretly, wondering what the might of the sword energy would become after Xu Jun formed his elixir.
Perhaps, he should take advantage of now to spar with him a few more times?
"Okay." Hao Dan roared, "Be careful."
Before he finished speaking, the magic weapon in his hand suddenly shone brightly, and countless whip shadows overlapped, swarming in like a rising tide.
This is the true power of the magic weapon.
Although it cannot be compared with the power of the magic weapon in the hands of Jindan Zhenren, it has exceeded the limit of the second level and glimpsed a trace of the power of the third level.
Xu Jun narrowed his eyes slightly.
If Yi Qiang and Zhang Peiyuan could stimulate the power of the inherited magic weapon to this extent during the unified examination, then even if Xu Jun turned into a sword, at most they would die together.
Fortunately, the power of the magic weapon depends on the user.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Jun flicked his finger, and the positive and negative five-element sword diagrams soared into the sky.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Hundreds of sword qi crisscrossed the void, surrounding Xu Jun's body.
Now, within these hundred sword qi, not only is there the true meaning of the great way of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, but there is even a trace of the true meaning of life and death.
Therefore, even if it is just a hundred swords into a picture, it has easily received the infinite whip shadows released by Hao Dan.
The five-element sword diagram is like a huge roulette. No matter how many whip shadows bombard it, they are all swallowed up by it. And all the power is consumed completely under the rotation of the five elements, leaving no trace.
Xu Jun did not pursue a counterattack, but indulged himself in this change of the five elements.
Although the skills he practiced did not involve the five elements, the sword intent at this time contained everything.
After building the foundation, Xu Jun finally understood why Zhong Xinyue could become a seven-star Taoist.
Although the hundred swords into a picture are all condensed into a picture by more than a hundred sword qi.
However, there is a huge gap between sword diagrams.
Some sword diagrams are just sword diagrams, but some sword diagrams contain a special sword meaning, which is also the true meaning
of the great way! The Seven-Star Sword Diagram is like this. Once it is practiced, it has the true meaning of the great way of the endless starry sky.
Although there is only a trace, it is enough to make him far superior to his peers.
Once the Seven-Star Taoist Zhong Xinyue practiced the Seven-Star Sword Diagram, he swept across the four directions. Even the sword cultivators who also practiced the Hundred Swords Diagram were vulnerable in front of him.
And Xu Jun's Five Elements Sword Diagram is actually just an ordinary sword diagram.
However, he has a unique talent and forcibly comprehended the true meaning of the Five Elements and integrated it into the sword diagram, which is why he has the power comparable to a magic weapon now.
A quarter of an hour later, Hao Dan let out a long breath, feeling that the mana in his body was almost emptied.
Although he could not stimulate the full power of the magic weapon at all, just this alone made him unable to continue. He
had no choice but to put away the magic weapon, and then he saw Xu Jun on the ring facing him with a faint smile.
Xu Jun had his hands behind his back, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his body. The sword diagram seemed to be able to last forever.
He immediately understood, and bowed to Xu Jun, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, junior brother. I admit defeat."
Xu Jun returned the greeting and said, "You are too polite, senior."
After all, he was his senior. Under the watchful eyes of the public, no matter how stupid Xu Jun was, he knew some human relationships. He couldn't really go all out and sweep him down with one sword.
However, if the opponent tried his best and still couldn't do anything to him, and planned to stay on the stage.
Then he would have to taste how powerful the power of life and death in the sword diagram was.
After Hao Dan stepped down, everyone whispered to each other, and half an hour later, only one person came on stage.
That was a senior in the late stage of foundation building, but he was using a second-level top-level spiritual weapon.
This spiritual weapon has a special use. When it is used, it can produce a strange humming sound. The sound is like a magic sound that penetrates the ears, making people flustered.
Upon hearing this voice, many people below the ring frowned.
Although everyone knew that the senior was only targeting Xu Jun, what they heard was just a trace of the aftermath. But even if it was only the aftermath, it was enough to make people have a splitting headache.
Many people couldn't help but retreat far away, and some even vomited on the spot.
Ye Wanqing watched all this with an expressionless face. He did not help the ordinary Qi training students to resist.
At this time, it would be a good thing to let them suffer a little setback.
However, when Xu Jun heard this voice, although he felt a little noisy at first, it was only a moment, and he could no longer shake his state of mind.
Iron will!
The iron will derived from the space body made him no longer afraid of such mental attacks.
As long as the intensity of this attack did not exceed a threshold, it would no longer pose any threat to him.
The senior circled around Xu Jun for a few times, and seeing that Xu Jun was a little impatient and wanted to draw his sword, he immediately jumped off the ring obediently.
Afterwards, one by one, the seniors and sisters came on stage.
However, except for one senior who was in a stalemate with Xu Jun for a little longer, and was forced off the stage by Xu Jun's attack method using the sword diagram. The rest of the seniors were very sensible. Once they were unable to defeat Xu Jun with their strengths, they would leave on their own, leaving each other with enough dignity.
In the first seven days, there was an endless stream of challengers, but in the last three days, no one came on stage anymore.
In a blink of an eye, ten days passed in a flash.
Ye Wanqing said loudly: "The ten-day challenge of the Daozi Arena has ended. Xu Jun successfully defended the arena and became the contemporary Daozi of the Natural Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star."
All the students present bowed and said solemnly: "Meet Daozi."
Xu Jun returned the greeting to everyone, then turned to Ye Wanqing and saluted, saying: "Thank you, Principal. As a Daozi today, I should be careful in what I say and do, and live up to the reputation of the Dao Palace."
Ye Wanqing laughed and said: "Let's go, follow me to see the principal."
The two spread their bodies and broke through the air.
The crowd below was talking about it. The position of Daozi in the Natural Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star had been vacant for three years, and now someone finally took over.
However, compared to the previous ones, this Daozi was too young. He had
only been in the Dao Palace for three years, but he had already obtained the position of Daozi, which definitely broke the record of the Dao Palace.
And it can be predicted that this record will be difficult for anyone to break again.
Soon, Xu Jun and Huang Kan met again.
Huang Kan smiled and said, "Xu Jun, how do you feel about the ten-day battle?"
Xu Jun thought seriously and said, "The various methods used by the seniors are eye-opening."
Huang Kan smiled and said, "Yes, you understand the true meaning of the ten-day defense."
Xu Jun said solemnly, "I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Principal."
Generally speaking, if the Dao Palace's high-level officials allow the Dao Son Arena Challenge, it means that these Jindan Zhenren unanimously believe that this person's strength is enough to overwhelm everyone and become a Dao Son.
The reason why he was allowed to accept the ten-day challenge of other students on the arena was not for show, but to let him compete with the other top students in the Dao Palace and let him see the endless methods of the immortal cultivators.
Just like this time, Xu Jun saw the attack of divine consciousness, strange beasts and insects, various strange talismans, spiritual tools, etc. Those
who had the courage to go on stage were all seniors with special skills, and some of them really brought Xu Jun some trouble.
However, after this experience, Xu Jun will have a way to deal with it when he encounters it again in the future, and he will not feel flustered.
Huang Kan smiled and nodded, saying: "Have you thought about it? What kind of magic do you need on your Daozi nameplate?"
Xu Jun bowed and said: "Student wants to ask for a defensive magic."
"Haha, I guessed it a long time ago. Here you go."
A jade plate was handed over, and Xu Jun took it respectfully.
On this jade plate, one side is engraved with the name of Xu Jun, the Daozi of the Natural Dao Palace (Shuiyuan Star).
On the other side is engraved with complex fairy patterns like stars. Xu Jun just looked at it a few more times and felt a little dizzy.
A fourth-level permanent defensive treasure.
Although this thing is not a spiritual treasure, nor a magic treasure, if it is activated, it can release a fourth-level defensive magic.
Even when facing the Yuanying Zhenjun, it can withstand his full-strength attack, which can be called a life-saving treasure.
However, once released, it needs to be recharged and restored, which takes a long time.
Huang Kan said seriously: "Xu Jun, although this item can be released in the second-level spiritual land, its power is greatly reduced, and it can only reach the third-level level at most. However, the same is true for the other fourth-level means, and the early third-level is the limit."
"Yes, student understands."
For his trip to Fengshan Fudi, several people in the Taoist Palace have also taken great pains.
They gave him identity, experience, and a protective treasure.
If he still perishes in this way, it can only be said that fate is destined.
Huang Kan waved his hand and said, "Go to the treasure house to choose a magic weapon."
Xu Jun hesitated for a moment and said goodbye.
After leaving, Xu Jun whispered: "Principal Ye, I have already chosen a magic weapon in the treasure house."
For a foundation-building cultivator, the number of magic weapons is not the more the better. It is
good to have one as a trump card. If there is one more, it will seriously affect the speed of one's own promotion.
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "We know, but this time, I have prepared good things for you, and I promise not to let you down."
Xu Jun looked puzzled and followed Ye Wanqing into the treasure house.
Then, he saw Ye Wanqing take out a jade talisman and stick it on a wall.
Then, a hole appeared on the wall.
Xu Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately understood and said, "Principal, have you hidden all the real treasures in advance?"
Ye Wanqing said lightly, "Nonsense, all the treasures in the treasury are waiting for the destined ones. If they can't find it here, then it's not destined."
Looking at Ye Wanqing who closed the hole seriously, Xu Jun wanted to ask, if it weren't for your leadership, how destined would other students have to be to come in?
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of him, attracting his attention.
