A sudden disaster has struck

Therefore, every disciple aspires to advance to a higher level, as it is common knowledge that the higher the concentration of spiritual energy, the faster the cultivation speed.

The Qinglian Sword Sect is a sect focused on sword cultivation, primarily specializing in the way of the sword. Their cultivation methods differ slightly from those of ordinary practitioners. The typical cultivation method involves sitting in meditation to refine one's energy, guiding the energy with intention, clearing the meridians, and condensing true energy

"Sister Shaoyang, this... this is not what I did!" Qi Feng suddenly felt that saying these words was so powerless. Although he also wanted to explain, he did not know where to start.

Soon he arrived at a medicinal herb garden, where his job was to manage the medicinal fields for Shaoyang. In fact, this work was not strenuous; it merely involved carrying a few loads of water.

At this point, the man’s expression changed sharply; gritting his teeth, he rose again from the ground, seized the long sword that was stuck nearby, and, dragging his weary body, began to move with each stroke and stance.

The so-called inner disciples are those who have been personally accepted as apprentices by the elders; it can be said that they are the most core members of the entire Qinglian Sword Sect

As usual, I first selected a few buckets of water, then watered the spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden, and after making a few rounds to ensure there were no abnormalities, I proceeded to the rice field to sit in meditation and cultivate my practice

In addition to their cultivation, they also have to assist the outer and inner disciples with some physical labor.

Sister, don't go... Under the night sky, in a clearing within a forest, a boy around seventeen or eighteen years old lay on the ground, his body drenched, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing rapid

He shook his head, casting aside distracting thoughts and continuing to practice swordsmanship

It is important to note that the Qinglian Sword Sect is one of the top ten sects in the realm of cultivation, possessing immense strength. Others strive desperately to gain entry, yet they do not even have the qualifications to do so

Three years later, if one has not yet reached the Condensation Stage, they will be sent down the mountain, and from then on, they will have no connection with the Qinglian Sword Sect

However, although this method of cultivation allows for rapid progress, it consumes a significant amount of physical strength and energy, making it impossible to use for extended periods.

His sister is named Qin Mu. She possesses extraordinary talents and was recognized by Elder Zhang Yunting of the Qinglian Sword Sect, who brought her into the sect, where she directly became an inner disciple

"This... I also do not know." Qi Feng shook his head; he truly did not know who had done this

Thinking of his sister, the boy's heart warmed, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. Unfortunately, his sister had been in seclusion for a year, and he did not know when she would emerge, which made him miss her greatly

If I could cultivate here for another year, I should be able to break through the shackles and advance to the Condensation Stage... Qi Feng's eyes were filled with a sense of loss, for he only had half a year left

Sister Shaoyang, I... Qi Feng naturally recognized this person; she is indeed the owner of this medicinal garden, the inner sect disciple Shaoyang

Returning to his residence, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and, dragging his weary body, turned and walked out of the room, heading towards the direction of the inner door

Speaking of which, this job can be considered the easiest position in the entire Qinglian Sword Sect, without exception

"You don't know?" Shaoyang's complexion changed from pale to red, and his gaze became increasingly sharp as he said, "Qifeng, I consider myself not to have treated you poorly. Rather than saying I am asking you to work for me, it is more accurate to say I am allowing you to cultivate here. Yet you treat me this way... Forget it, I do not wish to say more to you. Come with me to the Law Enforcement Hall"

The fifth district is inhabited by outer disciples, the fourth district is inhabited by outer gate disciples, and so on.

At that moment, a resounding bell rang out from the foot of the mountain

"Wind Brother, I am waiting for you..."

Of course, in comparison, outer disciples prefer to enter the inner sect to work, as the spiritual energy there is much denser. Cultivating for one hour there is equivalent to cultivating for four hours in the fifth district

At that moment, he saw the angry expression on Shaoyang's face, and his heart involuntarily trembled. He wanted to explain, but after opening his mouth, he did not know where to begin.

A nearly perfect visage appears intermittently in the sky, elusive and unpredictable. Her eyes convey trust and anticipation; though her lips do not move, one can hear her gentle yet resolute voice, imbued with a strong sense of longing.

For example, in the fifth district where the outer disciples reside, the concentration of spiritual energy is twice that of the outside world, while in the fourth district it is four times that of the outside world, and in the third district, it is eight times that of the outside world... However, in the first district, it reaches thirty-two times that of the outside world, showing a significant difference

This young man is named Qi Feng and is an outer disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect

Qi Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, then stopped to look at the already pale sky, realizing that his cultivation had come to an end. He then put the sword into his storage bag, took a short rest, and left the place.

However, at this moment, all these herbs have unexpectedly withered, and it happened while he was taking care of them. How can he explain this to Shaoyang

The man seemed to realize something, his expression darkening as he sighed: "I dreamt of my sister again; I wonder when she will be able to emerge from her seclusion..."

However, although they hold no status in the Qinglian Sword Sect, they are happier than most, for becoming outer disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect provides them with the opportunity to advance to the outer sect

However, he is also aware that if it were not for his connection with Qin Mu, he would not have had the opportunity to take on this job at all. Therefore, he cherishes it even more and becomes increasingly attentive in caring for the medicinal fields

"If it is not you, then who do you say it is?" Shaoyang was still unwilling to admit it in front of Qifeng, feeling greatly enraged within.

What meets the eye is the pitch-black night and that familiar scene, where the figure of the beautiful woman is nowhere to be found

"Qi Feng, why are you doing this? Have I wronged you in any way?" Princess Shaoyang stared directly at Qi Feng, her eyes blazing with anger, and her delicate white face turned even more pale due to her fury

"Feng Di, I believe you can do it..."

However, for Qi Feng to cultivate for an entire night like this, even some outer disciples would find it unbearable, let alone Qi Feng, who is merely a newly initiated outer disciple

However, his sister's smile was deeply etched in his mind; whenever he recalled that sweet smile, he felt a warmth in his heart and a surge of strength within him

I have six months left, and from now on, I cannot afford the slightest waste; otherwise, my sister and I will become strangers, never to meet again! Qi Feng felt an unbearable soreness throughout his body, knowing that he had reached his limit

Although Qi Feng's talent is not too poor, it is also not particularly good, and he has not even met the requirements to become an outer disciple. If it were not for Qin Mu's earnest pleas, he would probably not even be able to become this outer disciple

The Qinglian Sword Sect expands outward in concentric circles from the central Sword Tower, divided into five areas from the innermost to the outermost

Thus, he has been doing this for two and a half years, especially in the recent year. Qin Mu has been in seclusion, and he has had almost no free time, dedicating all his time to cultivation, although the speed of his cultivation has not been entirely satisfactory

Ding ding ding ... ...

... ...

Suddenly, he shouted loudly, abruptly opened his eyes, and sat up

He also knows that if he is unable to reach the Condensation Stage within these three years, even if his sister is an inner disciple, she will not be able to keep him here; everything still depends on his own efforts in cultivation

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye, the sky darkened. However, at that moment, a faint energy fluctuation suddenly appeared all around.

Those who have already become outer disciples are equivalent to having obtained the opportunity for promotion to the outer sect

You need not say more; whether it was you who did it, the Elder of Law Enforcement will naturally provide me with an answer. Let’s go! The Princess of Shaoyang completely ignored him, her figure darting like lightning to Qi Feng's side, grabbing his collar and soaring towards the Law Enforcement Hall.

Because the herbs in this garden were cultivated by her hard work over the course of a year, she not only needs these herbs to refine elixirs but also requires them to exchange for the spiritual pills and spiritual stones necessary for her cultivation.

This not only allows for better care of these spiritual herbs, but also enables one to quickly enhance their cultivation, restore their physical strength, and prepare for the evening's practice, achieving two goals with one action

What is happening? At that moment, a delicate shout came from outside

He sighed and continued to walk forward

The concentration of spiritual energy varies in each area, increasing from the outside to the inside

It is more accurate to refer to them as logistical disciples rather than peripheral disciples, as they cannot truly be considered disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect; they merely have some connection to the sect.

Gradually, this visage dissipated with the wind, as if it had never appeared, and the sky returned to its former tranquility

Sensing this wave of fluctuation, Qi Feng couldn't help but furrow his brows, and then he opened his eyes, only to be met with a scene of withered yellow.

"I have half a year left, and I don't know if I will be able to see my sister again before descending the mountain..." At this point, the man suddenly paused, and then with a stern expression said: "You really are lacking ambition; how can you have such thoughts? You must strive to advance to the outer sect, so that you can be with your sister forever."

In order to accelerate his cultivation speed, Qi Feng chose this method of practice

"Law Enforcement Hall... No, I won't go!" Upon hearing the term "Law Enforcement Hall," Qi Feng's expression changed immediately, and he looked at Shao Yang, saying: "Senior Sister, I really didn't do this. I also don't know how all these spiritual herbs ended up dying..."

Just as the harvest was about to be reaped, everything suddenly turned to dust, leaving her unable to calm down

The reason it is said to be three years is that the Qinglian Sword Sect has a rule stating that all outer disciples may only stay on Qinglian Sword Peak for three years

Due to their special status, outer disciples are required to enter the outer or inner sects to perform tasks every day

This... this time, Qi Feng became flustered. It is important to know that all the spiritual herbs in this garden are of the mid-grade spiritual level. Although their value is not excessively high, it is also not low, and they are essential materials for refining mid-grade spiritual pills.

Therefore, these outer disciples usually practice with great determination, but there are almost none like Qi Feng who are so reckless.

At this moment, he held the temporary sword order and passed through the restrictions of the inner and outer gates, arriving within the inner gate. He immediately felt a rich aura of spiritual energy rushing towards him, which made him feel refreshed and invigorated, with an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body

However, sword cultivators can simultaneously channel energy through both intention and sword, employing a dual approach that yields results exceeding twice that of practicing through a single method.

However, this possibility is extremely small, as it is truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens to progress from the Gathering Qi stage to the Condensation Yuan stage within three years

However, every time he thinks about leaving his sister, a strong conviction arises within him, and it is this conviction that has sustained him, allowing him to persevere until now

Qi Feng's ability to enter the inner gate to work is not merely due to his good fortune, but rather because he has a good sister. Moreover, he has been doing this for over two years. Not to mention the outer disciples, even the outer gate disciples feel a pang of envy when they see him.

Immediately after, a beautiful woman dressed in a purple gown rushed in from outside. Upon seeing the withered herbs throughout the garden, her expression was filled with disbelief, which was soon replaced by anger
