When someone wins, someone loses.

This year's outer sect competition left a deep impression on others, and many people saw something called "vitality".

Mr. Chen sat on the high platform, watching the fight, and could understand the emotions and thoughts of the young men on the field.

It is a very complicated thing, with joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, tears and laughter, all intertwined, constituting the atmosphere of this world.

Mu Tong is very anxious now.

His opponent was too powerful, and the murderous aura emanating from him was extremely strong.

He is the kind of person who has truly experienced killing.

He is cunning and cruel, with a dirty heart. He always sets traps for him to step into, making him feel uneasy.

"This little fat boy's protective magic is like a turtle shell."

Xiong Fei's face was cold and hard, but he was still very cautious of his opponent. There are gains and losses. An alchemist knows that he lacks in attack, so he will make up for it in other aspects.

"If you can't do it, just withdraw. I don't want to hurt you."

He tried his best to fool people, but it was his previous fierce attack, which showed his strength that could easily crush his opponent, that frightened Mu Tong in one fell swoop.

"Don't underestimate me."

Mu Tong felt a little bit afraid. That fierce attack was like a whirlwind that swept away everything in its path, making him feel very depressed.

But he didn't want to give up and he could hold on for a while.

"Come on."

Xiong Fei sneered, his aura was fierce, whistling like the wind from a sword, further attacking his opponent's psychological defenses.

"roar"

Being forced like this, Mu Tong was not without temper. He roared, and his slightly round body gushed out hot energy. He rushed out headfirst, and the void rumbled, with thunderclouds lingering, and phantoms flashed, like gods and demons creating the sky.

"You think you can defeat me with this poor technique? You're dreaming."

Xiong Fei combined his energy and spirit and was always one step ahead of Mu Tong. He was the last to arrive but the last to arrive, and before Mu Tong's might could be fully unleashed, he had knocked him down.

This operation was based on his superb fighting skills.

Mu Tong really suffered a lot. He rushed left and right, but he felt restrained, as if he was being used against someone else's force.

"What's the point of struggling?"

Xiong Fei seemed to be trying to dissuade him, but he secretly sighed in his heart that Mu Tong's magical power foundation was extremely solid, and even with such consumption, he showed no signs of mental exhaustion.

Mu Tong simply didn't listen to words like this.

He was like a trapped beast, struggling on the small fighting stage, causing chaos, but he could not change anything.

A quarter and a half later.

"No, I'm so tired."

Mu Tong's spirit and will were repeatedly damaged, his fighting spirit declined, and he gradually lost control of his original idea.

He felt very tired. He couldn't break the current predicament no matter what he did. It was like a mountain pressing down on his heart.

It seems that giving up would be much easier.

On the high platform.

"Where's that kid Mutong?"

Mr. Chen felt ashamed for causing the misunderstanding of the Mu family's grandfather and grandson. He suddenly decided to take a look at Mu Tong and put some thought into it. Then, when Mu Rufeng came to the medicine house again, he would be able to feel more confident and not guilty.

"Shua"

This glance is very ordinary.

He couldn't help it and happened to make eye contact with Mu Tong.

Mr. Chen was slightly stunned, and in order not to recall it so deliberately, he nodded.

"I can't lose!"

In an instant, the roar from the bottom of his heart completely awakened Mu Tong.

A glance took a thousand years, and he imagined too many things, all of which were the Elder Yaolu on the stage, and his earnest hopes for him.

And the source of all this started with Mu Rufeng.

Elder Yaolu thinks highly of you.

The future is limitless.

The only thing to do is to move forward courageously.

You must have the will to overcome all obstacles.

These are what his grandfather told him.

He didn't believe it at first, but on the day of the outer sect competition, he saw the encouraging look in Elder Yaolu's eyes and began to believe it.

Especially just now, he found that the elder had been paying attention to him silently and even nodded to him.

Therefore, the praises of being naturally intelligent and having the appearance of a golden elixir are all true.

These are all certifications from big guys.

At this moment, he felt unprecedentedly refreshed, with a surge of blood rushing to his head, and he wanted to fight.

"What's wrong with this little fat boy?"

Xiong Fei watched Mu Tong go from a listless state to his high-spirited self in an instant.

He was stunned. After all his efforts, he had broken down his opponent's psychological defenses, only for them to be rebuilt again in an instant.

"Bang"

At this moment, Mu Tong used magic again, as if possessed by a demon, his figure was tall and mighty, and the void like water and fog was all broken.

Xiong Fei was helpless, he waved his hand on the spot, and the nine-layer gate stood up, but it was broken down, and finally it was hit by Mu Tong's attack and was knocked open.

"You lied to me?"

Mu Tong sensed something, as if he had broken through a kind of false power that was created.

From the beginning till now, Xiong Fei has been showing his strength, but strangely, after such a long time, he is still on the fighting stage and has not been defeated.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Xiong Fei cursed him in his heart, but his face was still cold and defiant, intending to get Mu Tong back.

Mu Tong, who had come to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, you are just bluffing. You are not that strong, or I am not bad at all."

Explanation, more explanation.

If he were Xiong Fei, he would immediately sweep away the Five Mountains and knock his opponents off the fighting stage, making them tumble off the stage. He would keep complaining and delay things.

"You have a good foundation."

If I continue to lie, it will be impolite. Xiong Fei admitted it, but he sighed and said, "Sometimes, breaking a lie will bring you a more cruel truth."

He had a great chance of winning, and the reason he had been playing psychological warfare before was to win the game with the least possible losses.

Now……

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.

"boom"

Mu Tong stomped his feet, high-spirited, a little angry, and a little excited. His opponent was deceiving him, but just because he was deceived, it only showed that the gap in fighting power was not that big.

He must win this battle.

“Buzz…”

Mu Tong raised an alchemy furnace above his head, and let its mighty power descend to bless himself. He then performed his original magic, and rushed forward like a god or demon.

This time, he crashed into the void, causing a roar and runes on the fighting stage flashing continuously, obviously showing some of the aura of a master of Qi training.

"Something's wrong."

Xiong Fei frowned. Mu Tong's attack had undergone a drastic change compared to before.

Powerful and solid, without any flaws.

This is the method to break all dharmas with one force.

What's even more amazing is that Mu Tong may not be good at other things, but he is very adept at operating this alchemy furnace, and the two of them complement each other, so he should not be underestimated.

He took the seals with both hands and transformed them into a huge mountain seal, which he used to suppress it, but he could not stop Mu Tong and was overturned by the force.

"roar"

"roar"

"roar"

Mu Tong was unyielding this time. He overcame the fear in his heart, and with the spirit of a dragon entering the sea, he displayed his power.

The alchemy furnace above his head seemed to understand his thoughts. It unleashed its power and emitted wisps of energy that, like chains, entangled Xiong Fei.

Once this momentum was formed, Mu Tong's magic skills revived, he stepped on the heaven and earth, and charged forward with indescribable ferocity.

"I can handle it."

This is what Xiong Fei thought and did. He held the sword with both hands and poured the magic power in his body into it continuously.

The sword's sharp edge burst out, and the sword light flickered, like a dragon, rushing out.

Each has its own means to overcome difficulties.

"Bang"

The next moment.

Xiong Fei really flew and rolled down the fighting platform, with his knuckles cracked, but there were no other major problems.

afterwards.

Xiong Fei strongly requested the referee to investigate whether Mu Tong had taken any illegal secret medicine.

Otherwise, it would be inexplicable why this little fat boy suddenly became so powerful and beat even a veteran like him.

Of course, that is not the case.

After hearing the feedback, Xiong Fei really began to doubt his life.

"Win?! He has the qualifications."

On the high platform, Chen Sheng's face was full of surprise. It seemed that this kid Mu Tong had great potential and could be considered as a key talent for cultivation.

…

On another fighting stage.

"It seems that we have reached the limit."

He had fought to the point of exhaustion, his energy was exhausted, his magic power was gone, and he was feeling dizzy, all of which told him that there was no way out.

Plop…

Another wave of dizziness came over him, and he could no longer suppress it and fell down.

Before his consciousness became completely confused, he tried his best to open his eyes and looked vaguely in one direction.

It seems like there is something to rely on.

"Be tenacious and have a firm mind. I hope you can follow this path in the future."

On the high platform, Chen Sheng saw that Rui Xiaojia tried very hard to break the shackles of mediocrity, but ultimately failed on this road.

This is normal. Every breakthrough of a mediocre person is achieved by walking barefoot on a bloody path through thorns.

The wantonness and the glorious scenery are the gifts of heaven.

In order to succeed, mediocre people should keep their feet on the ground, get up after falling down, and keep going.

But when you fall, it’s best to have someone to help you.

Mr. Chen didn't mind and extended a helping hand, giving the younger boy a little encouragement, just as Fu Yunzi treated him, and passed on this hidden opportunity.

…

Dragon Hall.

Mr. Chen is back.

No one, a bit quiet.

He simply sat down in the courtyard, looking at the clouds in the sky that were floating around, his mind wandering in the void, completely relaxed.

After a while.

Mr. Chen heard some noise and looked sideways. The figures of the grandfather and grandson of the Mu family slowly appeared.

"Fellow Daoist, you are really... I am so grateful to you..."

Mu Rufeng was really grateful that Mu Tong told him everything that happened today.

It was Mr. Chen's encouragement that gave him a fighting spirit, and he defeated his opponent.

This guy is really working.

Not only did he provide convenience in the arrangement of the medicine house, but he also provided spiritual guidance. He is truly a great teacher.

"I'll do whatever it takes."

There was no beginning or end to this, and Chen Sheng was very confused, but he was somewhat used to Mu Rufeng's behavior. He raised his head, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he spoke very concisely.

It's good to speak more and make more mistakes.

"I admire such a broad mind."

This reaction made Mu Rufeng admire him even more.

After getting something done, he does not seek credit for it, and his expression is indifferent, which makes him indescribably free and easy.

He began to understand why the people in Yaolu had such deep respect for this manager.

The way he conducts himself and does things, as well as the transcendence of his state of mind, are all at their best.

“We treat everyone equally.”

Mr. Chen still solved the problem with the four-word formula.

"I came here this time to express my gratitude, and also because this boy wants to meet you."

Mu Rufeng waved to the boy behind him, feeling a little angry. He seemed quite smart on weekdays, but he crashed at the critical moment.

“Elder.”

Mu Tong came over immediately.

He was a little reserved. Although he had met Chen Sheng in the medicine house, they were only several dozen feet apart.

Such close contact as today's is a breakthrough that breaks the sky.

"Mutong."

Chen Sheng was already good at dealing with such a young man. He first called the other person's name with a gentle face, and then got closer to him. When he felt a little closer, he used the tone of an elder and said, "Be diligent and don't slack off."

This is a process used by elders to treat younger generations. He has used it frequently in recent years and the effect is good.

"I dare not slack off at any time. My schedule is now fully booked."

Just one name made Mu Tong very happy.

This shows that Chen Sheng remembers him in his heart. As an alchemy apprentice, being remembered by the supreme leader is an ability in itself.

He quickly stated that he would practice well and continue to study the Dao of Alchemy.

"I'll keep an eye on you."

Who would hate such a studious young man?

After listening to this, Mr. Chen smiled faintly and said many encouraging words, like a dedicated teacher.

"Yes, I won't slack off."

Mu Feng became more and more happy.

Continuing to pay attention to him means that he has a lot of room for growth. If he performs well, he will definitely have a place in Yaolu in the future.

After a conversation, the grandfather and grandson of the Mu family left.

Before leaving.

Mu Rufeng left behind a bulging storage bag. Chen Sheng was speechless when he saw it. He felt really unworthy of it. He pushed it several times, but it was stuffed back every time.

"I wonder if that kid received the surprise."

Some episodes reminded Chen Sheng of another outer disciple he remembered. He raised his eyes, as if he wanted to see through layers of void the expression of the young man when he received the gift.

A dilapidated courtyard somewhere outside the outer gate.

In the closed room, it was pitch black. A young man was curled up slightly, lying on the cloud bed, motionless.

This was Rui Xiaojia's personal method of healing after he fell and was covered in bruises.

“So tired.”

Rui Xiaojia said in a low voice.

There is no one to talk to about this kind of powerlessness, so one can only shut oneself in and show a bit of cowardice.

Then……

When the door opens and the sunlight comes in, he will once again hold his head high and stride forward to embrace the whole world.

It’s not time to embrace the world yet.

Usually, he would stay at home for two or three days to sort out his thoughts before going out.

He had anticipated the failure in the outer sect competition. It was impossible for a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining to make it to the end.

But it's still a bit sad.

After three games, I stopped.

It was obviously a good opportunity, but I missed it because of my lack of ability, and I am very sad.

But his poor strength cannot be blamed on him. He is diligent, but his qualifications are mediocre and he has no backing, so there is really nothing he can do.

I realize my shortcomings and want to change, but I am powerless to do so. I want to give up but cannot let go, so my mind can only repeatedly vacillate between collapse and strength.

Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock on the door. Rui Xiaojia didn't want to answer it. He didn't have too many concerns and he wouldn't break the law. He was a law-abiding person who worked hard.

At this time, he just wanted to be quiet and didn't want to care about anything else.

But after a while, the knocking on the door didn't stop. He had no choice but to let out a long sigh and open the door.

At that moment, warm light shone in his face, as if a new world opened up to him.

"What's up."

There was a servant outside the door. He was a little puzzled because people like that who were sent by servants should have no intersection with him.

"My master has ordered me to give you this jade bottle."

The servant was very polite. He extended his hand and handed over a jade bottle.

"Jade bottle? Qi Condensation Pill? Top-grade Qi Condensation Pill!"

Rui Xiaojia's face was full of confusion. He opened the jade bottle. His expression changed again and again, and even his hands were shaking a little.

It’s not his fault that he has a bad character, but the medicine in this bottle is a top-grade Qi Condensing Pill.

Only the true disciples of the inner sect are qualified to enjoy this kind of cultivation resources.

He was an ordinary outer sect disciple. When he saw the top-grade Qi Condensation Pill, the first thing he thought of was not to take it for himself, but to ask: "Who is your master? Is there any mistake?"

This kind of thing is too precious. He is just a small person and dare not touch it at all, otherwise he will be crushed to death at will.

"That's right, you are the outer disciple Rui Xiaojia."

The servant said calmly.

"That's right."

Rui Xiaojia nodded, knowing that he had delivered it to the right person, but he had more doubts in his mind.

What kind of person could casually take out a bottle of top-grade Qi Condensation Pill and give it to an unrelated outsider?

"My master is the elder of Yaolu. He sent me here to deliver medicine for no other reason than to see that you have a strong character, so he wanted to help you."

At this time, the servant answered Rui Xiaojia's question and introduced himself.

"What!"

Rui Xiaojia stood there in a daze, not even sure when the servant would leave.

He only knew that there was an important person whom he could not meet on a daily basis, who was looking at him with favor.

After this outer sect competition, his fate seemed to have taken a turn.

After more than half an hour, Rui Xiaojia digested the news and looked at the vast sky with excited eyes.

Then he bowed in the direction of the medicine house.

The gift from that important person was not only a bottle of medicine, but also an affirmation and encouragement to him.

Spiritually, he was no longer confused and could move forward with great strides.
