spider sleep inside"“Didn’t you say… this is the lair of the mountain spider”"Whatever I say is what it is," Bai Lian said with a snort, turning away. "You're so easy to fool, be careful you don't get...The Four Spirits refine the body, Azure Dragon is in the East, belonging to Wood.

Jiang Wang savored the vitality and felt the growth of qi and blood. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but the newly born Dao Yuan within the Heavenly Palace seemed to be more lively. This had made the difficulty of arranging the array points slightly less.

Before the heavens' gates are opened, one can directly cultivate with the exuberant wood-element vital energy and a robust physical body. This is undoubtedly one of the advantages of the martial artist's cultivation method.

The four spirits refine the body, using gold Qi to forge bones, fire Qi to temper flesh, water Qi to nourish blood and flesh, and adding the wood Qi that strengthens Qi and Blood. It is complete in every way, not deviating from the Great Dao.

As for Jiang Wang, he had no intention of switching to the warrior class, nor did he plan to try qi and blood surging. But the powerful qi and blood could also nourish his Dao Yuan, accelerating the speed at which he condensed his Dao Wheel.

Originally, he could only practice Qi-Pulse cultivation two to three times a day. The rest of the time was spent honing his swordsmanship and studying Taoist scriptures. However, now that the Purple Qi Eastern Arrival Sword Technique had reached a bottleneck, at least for him currently, focusing on physical refinement would not delay his cultivation progress.

The prospect of Zhou Tian Xing Dou's foundation-laying diagram seems very good, but it is indeed too difficult and slow.

However, Jiang Wang was not worried. When he was very young, his father told him that a ginseng plant aged ninety-nine years could be sold for one hundred taels of silver, and if he waited another year, the price of a century-old ginseng would be calculated in gold.

Waiting is not in vain, some futures are worth waiting for.

So even though there were plenty of rumors circulating within the Dao Institute, like how Fang He Ling was almost about to condense a second Dao Vortex, and how so-and-so had already opened their meridian and would soon be surpassing everyone else.

Jiang Wang remained as usual, calm and collected. The morning bell and the evening drum, day and night unceasingly.

October is also known as the Dew Moon. As autumn fades into winter, dew forms abundantly, hence its name.

For the residents of Maple City, the most important thing in this October is undoubtedly the Three-City Discussion.

>

The so-called "Three Cities Discourse" is, as the name suggests, a joint Daoist debate competition among three nearby academies. It aims to cultivate mutual understanding and refinement through sparring, and is also a preparation for the annual County Academy Examination in November. Similar events are held in various academies throughout Zhuang State, though they may have different names.

For example, the "Northern Wind Snow Dance" organized by Qinglan City and Bailu City in Daishan County, taking its name from "In late autumn, the north wind lingers," is much more elegant and interesting. It even became a renowned event in Daishan County, attracting many tourists every year. In reality, it was just a performance competition organized by five nearby cities.

By contrast, "Three Cities Forum" is much simpler and more down-to-earth. There's no way around it; the three cities in question are Wangjiang City, Fenglin City, and Sanshan City.

Fenglin City need not be said, its style is simple and honest. The red maple trees outside Fenglin City are like fire, there is no lack of beauty, but the only somewhat famous poem is written by a Qingran City cultivator who passed by.

> Wangjiang City has its people driven by profit, and they simply don't care about elegance or taste. The people of Sanshan City are even simpler; they are still mocked as barbarians to this day.

The foundation of the three cities was like that, nothing much to say. But with the development over the years, it gradually went beyond just sparring between students. To a certain extent, it even reflected the strengths and weaknesses of the three cities, affecting the allocation of resources in Zhuang Ting, thus adding a fierce element to it.

This year, it was Fenglin City's turn. From the city lord to the ordinary people, everyone in Fenglin City paid close attention. The major taverns had already hung lanterns and banners, the government had strengthened security, and thieves disappeared for a while.

In the Fenglin City Daoist Temple, there was also a selection process.

“That’s how it is.” Wei Qijie rarely appeared with Dong A at the same time, but neither of them were willing to sit down. They both stood on the platform.

“As is customary, our City Guard Academy selects two students from each year, one from the first, third, and fifth years, to participate in this Dharma Exhibition. Wei Qijie had dark skin and a stern gaze; when he wasn't smiling, he was really intimidating. "Let me be straight with you, either win or lose. If you lose, don't blame me, Wei, for giving you a hard time.”

So-called first-year students are those who have cultivated in the Taoist temple for about a year. In fact, the main force comes from selecting among the disciples of the previous session, and their cultivation time has exceeded a year. The same applies to third-year and fifth-year students. There are no discussions among students who have studied for more than five years because those who have not entered the County Taoist Academy after more than five years generally give up their hopes of cultivating and turn to enjoy worldly wealth and honor.

When the lord of a city spoke so directly, even the disciples from various academies standing below felt a pang of anxiety. Some students who had planned to make a name for themselves during this Three Cities Debate began to waver.

"A first-year student wins a game, rewarded with ten Dao Xun points. A third-year student wins a game, twenty points. A fifth-year student wins a game, fifty points." While adding warm-up words, Dong A's expression remained extremely cold and stern.

One wore a stern face, the other a cold one, and they complemented each other well. It just so happened that the two most important figures in Fenglin City both expressed their importance for this performance unanimously.

This involves not only the allocation of resources, but also reflects their governance and is a matter of face.

>Especially after the entire village of Xiao Lin became wasteland, Fenglin City urgently needed to make a powerful statement.

“Now I’m going to call out names directly. Anyone who feels inadequate and wants to withdraw, please speak up now.” Since this debate was so crucial, Dong A didn't go through the usual self-registration process. Instead, he directly addressed the participants: “This debate will be led by Zhang Linchuan…”

>

Below the stage, Zhang Linchuan helplessly pressed his forehead and muttered, "I'm under a lot of pressure."

“Are you under a lot of pressure” Dong A’s gaze had already fallen, with the cultivation of a fifth-rank expert, let alone a murmur, even if he just let out a fart, he could find the owner of the fart at the first time.

"But I'm confident!" Zhang Linchuan immediately said.

Then Dong A let him go and continued to call out the names of other people.

>

“Zhang Shidi truly lives up to his name! Even the Headmaster recognizes you as the number one in our Dao Institute!” Huang Azhan obsequiously patted him on the back and whispered.

Zhang Linchuan arrived at the hospital very late today. Instead of going to the front row, he stood with Jiang Wang and others. Perhaps it was to be ignored by the director, but he was still the first one to be singled out.

"If they both get to go up, wouldn't that mean I'd be the only one left to do all the hard work" Zhang Linchuan glared at Huang Azhan with a clear sense of realization. He didn't want Wei Yan to come after him with a knife tomorrow.

But he immediately covered his nose with a handkerchief: "How long has it been since you last bathed"

"A true man wouldn't waste time bathing!" Huang Ajian declared righteously, then lowered his head to sniff a few times. "It smells like nothing..."

Zhang Linchuan moved two steps forward with disdain.

Wei Yan was a member of the Ministry of War and it's perfectly normal for him not to participate in discussions between Dao Institutes. But why wasn't Zhu Wei also there As such a prominent figure, shouldn't he be present at this time

Jiang Wang thought about it and asked, "Brother Zhu, why can't you go up"

"Oh, he seems to have gone after the Heart Eater Demon." Zhang Linchuan said casually.

“!!!”

“!!!”

Jiang Wang looked at Ling He Huang Azhan, and they were all stunned.

The Nine Great Demons are notorious for their wickedness! They have wreaked havoc across nations, committing countless atrocities. To call them the world's most vicious criminals wouldn't be an exaggeration. Even Xiong Wen, who ranks among them using cruel methods, is considered the weakest of the Nine Great Demons. He is still a formidable Six-Rank cultivator capable of opening the Heavenly Gate and worthy of being called a soaring dragon practitioner!

A cultivator of the ninth rank establishes a foundation by arranging Dao Yuan in an array and building a Dao vortex. The true spirit of their Dao meridian dances within the Dao vortex, becoming known as the Wandering Meridian Realm.

An Eighth Rank cultivator establishes three Dao Cycles and constructs a small Zhoutian circulation within the Heavenly Palace. This is known as the Zhoutian Realm.

A cultivator of the seventh rank establishes the circulation of three small celestial cycles (Heaven, Earth, and Human), completes the grand cycle, and then connects their physical body, purging the Heavenly Palace. The Dao meridian dragon will thus awaken, enabling them to see the Heavenly Gate! This is known as the Transcendence Realm.

The Heavenly Gate, which seals off the Heaven and Earth Palace, is also known as the first stage of cultivation. Only by clearing the Heavenly Gate can one illuminate their heart and see their true nature, with their Dao pulse surging like a dragon.

Before reaching the sixth rank, any disciple of a Dao Institute could only wear a standardized Dao robe made of hemp. This symbolized their indomitable spirit, their willingness to face hardships and overcome obstacles.

After reaching the sixth rank, those of the third rank can wear the Tenglong Dao robe. The three realms of Tenglong, Neifu, and Wailou are only slightly differentiated in detail.

This is a symbol of identity, the embodiment of honor.

Any cultivator qualified to wear the robes of the Tenglong Dao is considered a strong one.

Moreover, Xiong Wen's notorious reputation as a formidable figure among the Tenglong Realm cultivators was well-known.
