Slowly closing his eyes, Xiao Han's thoughts returned to more than a year ago...

At that time, not long after, Xiao Qingqing in his arms and the green giant python lying on the ground shook more and more violently.

Suddenly!

A magical scene happened. The black round jade that had been hanging on his neck actually moved, emitting a deep and faint light.

Suddenly, a desolate air appeared out of thin air, and then a faint halo spread rapidly. Not long after, it completely enveloped Xiao Qingqing in his arms and the green giant python on the ground.

At this time, Xiao Qingqing, who was shaking violently, and the green snake giant python that kept rolling on the ground, all stopped moving inexplicably and became unusually quiet!

A moment later.....

The faint light was so strong that he had to raise his hand to block it, or even close his eyes.

After about two breaths, when he opened his eyes, the dim light had already dissipated, and the huge green python on the ground also disappeared, but fortunately, Xiao Qingqing in his arms was still there.

However, when he tried to check Xiao Qingqing again, he was completely stunned, because at this moment, Xiao Qingqing in his arms had completely lost her breath and pulse.

Although he knew that Xiao Qingqing's internal organs were damaged and she was bleeding too much, it was only a matter of time before she died, but when the girl in his arms suddenly turned into a cold corpse, he still found it difficult to accept.

After a while.

Just when Xiao Han was in grief and despair...

"Brother Xiao Han..."

In the dark, he seemed to hear a familiar call from a girl. At first, he thought he was too sad and had hallucinations, but when the girl's voice sounded again and came from the black jade on his neck, he realized that he was not dreaming. It turned out that when the deep light appeared just now, it actually exchanged Xiao Qingqing's soul with the dying soul of the blue giant python, and sucked the huge body of the blue giant python into the black round jade.

In other words, at this moment, Xiao Qingqing's body died, but her soul survived, while the soul of the blue giant python died, but its body survived.

Xiao Qingqing became a special existence with a human soul and a snake body.

......

"Ah..."

In the cave, Xiao Han sighed for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and stuffed the round black jade in his hand into his clothes.

Then, he closed his eyes again, sat cross-legged, placed his palms up on his legs, meditated, and began to practice the breathing method, practicing the Xiao family's only intermediate technique - Nine Yang Jue. Suddenly, a circle of faint white light flashed around his body.

"Hu..."

The next day, a breath of turbid air came out of his mouth, Xiao Han opened his eyes, and suddenly felt light and refreshed. He didn't expect that living in the Taoist cave of Sanqingmen, just practicing for one night, could make his seventh level of Qi training, which he had just broken through, much more solid. If it were in the white land of the Western Regions, it would take at least three to five days to achieve such an effect.

Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sanqingmen is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is just a place for the disciples to live and practice. The vitality of heaven and earth contained in it is so rich that it is far beyond the white land in the Western Regions. It is conceivable that the place where the three mysterious masters stay is like?"

"I guess that kind of place, even if the cultivators with ordinary qualifications can stay there for a year or two, they may be able to gain some good cultivation. Just thinking about it makes people salivate..."

After a while!

Xiao Han got up, tidied his clothes casually, and walked towards the exit of the cave. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the cave, he saw Chen Wenxuan licking his smile and waiting alone at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Xiao Han was surprised and asked immediately.

"Haha! Junior Brother Xiao, good morning!" Chen Wenxuan was a little nervous when he saw Xiao Han coming out, and he was busy explaining: "Well... I just happened to pass by and came to see if Junior Brother Xiao is used to living here."

Xiao Han's heart suddenly warmed up. He didn't expect Chen Wenxuan to be so enthusiastic. He quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. The cave is quite comfortable, very good!"

"Haha, that's good, that's good!"

Chen Wenxuan smiled, and his already small eyes had narrowed into a short thin line at this time. Suddenly, he looked at Xiao Han's waist and asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Xiao, where is your white jade waist card?"

"Waist card?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and inadvertently glanced at the white jade waist card hanging on Chen Wenxuan's waist, and then he remembered that he also received one yesterday, and quickly reached out and took it out from his arms.

Watching Xiao Han take out the white jade waist card, Chen Wenxuan seemed to be relieved.

After a moment of silence...

Suddenly, Chen Wenxuan put away his smile, and a trace of seriousness appeared on his fat and bloated face. He said seriously: "Junior Brother Xiao, this white jade waist badge is the symbol of our Sanqing Sect disciples. The sect stipulates that every disciple must wear it around his waist. Otherwise, if he is discovered by the people in the Law Enforcement Hall, he will be punished."

"Huh?"

Xiao Han was stunned. He didn't expect that Sanqing Sect actually had such a rule. He quickly clasped his fists to Chen Wenxuan beside him and said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for reminding me."

As he spoke, he was about to tie the white jade waist badge around his waist.

"Wait!"

Seeing this, Chen Wenxuan hurriedly shouted and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Junior Brother Xiao, this white jade waist badge not only symbolizes identity, but also has other uses. Please first inject a little true energy into the white jade waist badge, and I will explain it to you in detail."

After that, he picked up his white jade waist badge, gathered his energy, injected true energy, and demonstrated to Xiao Han.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Xiao Han followed Chen Wenxuan and injected a little true energy into the white jade waist badge. Suddenly, the white jade waist badge became bright. He was a little curious and was waiting for Chen Wenxuan to explain how to use it.

At this time,

Suddenly, Chen Wenxuan snatched the waist badge in Xiao Han's hand and put it together with his own waist badge.

Xiao Han didn't understand and was stunned for a while.

However, when he looked up at Chen Wenxuan again, he found that the originally honest Chen Wenxuan was actually grinning at this time, and there was a hint of viciousness in his small eyes.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing...?"

Xiao Han frowned, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Challenge!"

Chen Wenxuan looked smug, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was not concealed.

"Challenge?"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face suddenly became gloomy. He originally thought that he had met a good person, but he didn't expect it to be a premeditated deception. It seems that ugly people are more likely to do bad things, which is true.

"Everything before was fake...?"

Xiao Han asked coldly.

"What do you think, Brother Xiao? "

Chen Wenxuan asked back with a sneer on his face.

Xiao Han clenched his fists and glared at Chen Wenxuan, but he said no more. He walked straight to the "Sea of ​​Clouds" square with a gloomy face. Later, he found out that the group of golden numbers on his white jade waist badge represented challenge points, and the group of silver numbers represented contribution points.

As the name suggests, contribution points refer to the corresponding contributions made by disciples to the sect, for example, doing some chores of the sect, or completing some tasks taken over by the sect, or the disciples handed over the spiritual medicine, magic tools, and martial arts books they obtained to the sect; while challenge points represent combat ability, which sect disciples generally obtain through fighting each other.

Sanqing Sect stipulates that all new disciples must accept a challenge from others once a week and must not refuse. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the sect and will never be allowed to enter again. Of course, everyone has the right to challenge others once a week.

However, passive challenges are limited to those of the same level.

However, for those new disciples who have just entered the sect, Sanqing Sect has a special rule, that is, these "newcomers" who have just entered the sect have a buffer period of fifteen to thirty days before they have undergone spiritual root determination. During this period, these new disciples have a special title, called "new disciples". New disciples only have the right to challenge The new disciples have the right to challenge others, but they are not obliged to passively accept the challenge. In other words, these new disciples can challenge others at will, but others cannot challenge them.

Moreover, during this period, these new disciples have absolute autonomy. They can choose to challenge or not.

Of course, there is an exception. That is, the new disciples take the initiative to open the white jade waist card and match with the other party's white jade waist card. Then the new disciples must complete the challenge. Otherwise, according to the rules of the sect, they will also be expelled from the sect and will never be able to enter again.

Once you enter the sect, it is like a deep sea. In the Qin Dynasty, as long as you step into the Sanqing sect, no one wants to be expelled from the sect.

First, of course, it is because Sanqingmen is the only super sect in the Qin Dynasty, and it is also the leader of the righteous path in the entire Dongling. No other cultivation force can compare with it;

Secondly, once the disciples who enter Sanqingmen are expelled from the sect, they will not be accepted by any cultivation sect in the Qin Dynasty, and they will not even be able to gain a foothold in the Qin Dynasty, and their cultivation path will be ruined;

Finally, as long as these disciples stay in Sanqingmen for six years, even if they cannot be promoted to become four-door disciples in the end, they can still freely choose whether to leave the sect. In stark contrast to the former being expelled from the sect and forced to leave, the disciples who freely choose to leave Sanqingmen can freely enter any cultivation sect in the Qin Dynasty and have a smooth cultivation path.
