Although he always felt that this entrance conference was a bit suspicious, Li Hui thought about it and couldn't understand the meaning of Bi Xiangmen's move. He simply stopped thinking about it, after all, he wasn't the leader of Bi Xiangmen, so why bother with so much.

  The content on the jade stele below is the registration date, location and other information of the Bi Xiang Men disciple recruitment conference. At the same time, a new reward has been added, that is, the top ten cultivators who win in the arena will not only be able to enter the inner door of Bi Xiang Men, but also receive a high-quality spiritual instrument as a reward.

  It seems that this time, the Bi Xiang Gate is willing to spend some money. In the past, when recruiting new disciples, even the inner door disciples could only get a mid-grade spiritual instrument as a reward, while the outer door disciples were only given ordinary weapons. However, these weapons are absolutely top-notch among ordinary weapons, and their quality is similar to Li Hui's Qing Ming Sword.

  "Can I enter the inner gate if I rank in the top ten?" Li Hui's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, he had already decided to participate in this entrance competition, "Let my sword saint path begin from here!"

  Li Hui was not going for the reward of a high-quality spiritual artifact that could be obtained by entering the top ten. He had his own plans.

  Firstly, the elixirs from the Refining Qi stage have almost been used up. Although there is no lack of spirit stones, frequently spending a large amount of them to buy elixirs will definitely attract attention. Moreover, those truly high-quality elixirs are not available on the market at all, but are only provided for disciples within their own sect to cultivate with.

  Secondly, cultivating immortality is not just about sitting and absorbing spiritual energy, eating elixirs to become one. The Great Way is ruthless, the cruelty of the cultivation world is unimaginable, and closing oneself off to create a cart will not lead to the end.

  Moreover, Li Hui is walking the already lost Sword Immortal's path, with swordsmanship as his main reliance. Cultivating the hundred arts of the True Path, each school has its strengths, and various magical techniques can be cultivated to the extreme, their power capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, not to be underestimated.

  Only by learning from others and exchanging ideas with fellow practitioners can one quickly improve oneself.

  With only a incomplete "Heart Sword Chapter" in hand, Li Hui still has a long and extremely difficult road to walk to truly cultivate the sword immortal way.

  Remember the registration time and place on the jade stele. Li Hui felt that there was nothing else to do, so he wandered around casually.

  Everywhere were monks' stalls, the owners all loudly hawking their wares. Li Hui occasionally also went forward to take a look, to see if there might be some unexpected gains.

  After circling around, I only managed to buy a black long shirt from a female cultivator's stall, and nothing else. Upon thinking about it, how could these low-level cultivators compare with the collection of Yuan Hua True Person over the years?

  Standing at the street corner, looking at the familiar streets and crowds of people, it feels like something is gently knocking in my heart.

  "It's been a long time since I left home." Li Hui closed his eyes, and scenes of his childhood with his family in Ling Xiang City reappeared in his mind.

  "I wonder how my little hut is doing!" Thinking of his home, Li Hui's mouth curled up with a warm smile. He turned around and quickly walked in the direction of his own home.

  Under the west city wall of Ling Xiao City

  Looking at those shabby and simple houses, the narrow and winding alleys, Li Hui felt a warmth in his heart. He slowed down his pace, walking while looking at all these familiar things.

  "This corner, I often waited for my parents to come back here when I was a kid... This narrow alley, my father would often hide on purpose and let me find him..."

  Everything was filled with memories, filled with warmth. Unconsciously, he had already walked to his own doorstep. Li Hui took out the jade symbol and pressed it against the door, injecting a thread of spiritual energy... but the door didn't react at all.

  "Huh?" He tried a few more times, but still couldn't open it. "Could this seal be ineffective?" Li Hui was baffled.

  After a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "How could I have forgotten this!" and turned around to rush out again.

  It turned out that Li Hui had not returned for two years, and the cultivators in the city owed ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones every year.

  Finally back home, everything in the room is exactly the same as when I left two years ago, without a single change. A thin layer of dust has already settled on the table.

  After circling around, Li Hui let out a light sigh and didn't even bother to clean up. He knew he would be leaving this place soon.

  "Afterwards, the sky will be vast and I can gallop freely under heaven, but no matter where I am, this place will forever be my home!" Li Hui whispered to himself in his heart.

  Li Hui then disappeared and left behind a stone that looked ordinary on the ground.

  Yuán Huáng Xiān Fǔ Nèi -> Inside the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Palace

  Li Hui sat quietly in the Linshui Pavilion, his eyes tightly closed. Around him, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth formed a slowly rotating whirlpool, which was being absorbed into his body thread by thread.

  In the dantian, a spiritual energy vortex is spinning non-stop. The vortex has almost occupied the entire dantian qihai. The spiritual energy inside the vortex has become dense and viscous, on the verge of transforming into a liquid-like existence.

  The higher and deeper the cultivation is in the refining Qi period, the more concentrated the spiritual energy will be. By the time the 9th layer of the refining Qi period is reached, some of the spiritual energy has begun to condense into a liquid. When all the spiritual energy in the lower Dantian (elixir field) has transformed into a liquid, it has reached the great perfection of the refining Qi period and can attempt to lay the foundation.

  Li Hui was now in his second rebirth of the Scattered Cultivation, having reached the eighth layer of the Refining Qi stage, with a much deeper spiritual power than ordinary cultivators at this level.

  There are only three days left before the registration for the entrance examination of Bi Xiang Men. In these three days, Li Hui did not relax and continued to practice meditation and swordsmanship as usual.

  Others only experience the Qi Refining stage once, but Li Hui has to go through it five times! Although his own cultivation speed is now comparable to that of a Tianling Root cultivator, he still cannot afford to slack off. Moreover, not just the Qi Refining stage, before the Yuan Ying stage, he also needs to undergo this process of dispersing his powers and rebuilding them.

  ……

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Li Hui automatically woke up from his meditation, feeling that his cultivation had improved a little bit. Nodding in satisfaction, he suddenly felt a movement in his heart, left the immortal mansion, and appeared in the living room of his home.

  With a wave of his hand, the stone transformed from the Yuanhao Xianfu on the ground turned into a white light that shot into Li Hui's body and disappeared. He took off the Qianhua Bao Yi and changed into an ordinary black robe he had bought at a small stall.

  The Bi Xiao Men entrance ceremony, that's where Golden Elixir stage cultivators will be present. If they find out that an extremely rare and precious spiritual robe is on a Qi Refining stage loose cultivator, it's inevitable that they'll have doubts. If it involves the secrets of the Yuan Hua Immortal Mansion, Li Hui will only have one dead end.

  After doing all this, Li Hui finally walked out of the house, carrying only a Qingming sword.

  There are registration points in five areas: east, west, south, north and central of Ling Xiao City.

  There were over a dozen long queues in front of the registration point in Xicheng, and Li Hui casually found a team to line up. It wasn't until half an hour later that he arrived at the registration point.

  A gloomy-looking, forty-year-old Taoist priest with a long face held a compass-like artifact and scanned Li Hui's body. His gloomy expression changed to one of surprise as he looked at Li Hui: "The talent of a discarded spiritual root has actually reached the eighth layer of the Qi Refining stage at just fifteen years old?"

  Li Hui was about to open his mouth to explain when the long-faced monk asked again: "What's your name and where are you from?"

  "Li Hui, a loose cultivator in Ling Xiao City." Li Hui replied.

  Chang Lian threw over a jade plaque with the number "Three Hundred Eighty-Nine" engraved on it. This was the serial number that Li Hui would use in the upcoming entrance examination to be held in the next few days.

  Li Hui was still playing with his jade token when the long-faced monk impatiently shouted: "Next!"

  As he walked out of the registration point, Li Hui let out a long sigh. It was his first time seeing so many low-level cultivators gathered together in such grandeur.

  Recalling the long-faced monk from earlier, who was surprisingly at the 8th layer of Qi Refining with a waste spiritual root, seemed to be quite astonished. However, the long-faced monk wore a yellow Daoist robe that only second-generation disciples of Bi Xiang Men had the qualifications to wear, indicating that this long-faced monk was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

  In the eyes of a foundation-building cultivator, everything below the foundation building stage is like ants, so although there was a hint of surprise, it wasn't taken to heart.

  "It seems I need to prepare an excuse!" Thinking that if he finally enters the top ten, it will definitely attract the attention of the high-level officials of Bi Xiang Men, Li Hui couldn't help but feel a headache.

  Two hours later, today's registration will end. In the meantime, many monks lined up for a long time to go in, but came out with their heads down and dejected. These monks were all over forty years old, but they still held a glimmer of luck to try to get through. However, they were detected by that Luo Pan-shaped artifact and were driven out on the spot.

  There were over 900 monks at the registration point in Guangxi City. It's probably similar at other registration points. After registering, all the monks gathered on the square outside the registration point, waiting for a while to announce the order of the competition.

  Some monks were chatting with familiar people, guessing who their opponents would be, while others simply sat on the ground in meditation, perhaps trying to take advantage of this last bit of time to increase their cultivation and enhance their strength.

  A moment later, a disciple of the third generation of Bi Xiangmen in a green shirt came out. All the waiting cultivators stopped talking, and those who were meditating also woke up from their meditation and stood up.

  The disciple in the green shirt finished reading out the rules of the martial arts competition and the order of each round, then left first.

  In the center of the square, eight arenas have been set up. The eight arenas will hold competitions simultaneously, meaning there will be sixteen monks competing on stage. This also means that eight monks will be eliminated.

  Each of the two cultivators who come on stage to compete are decided by drawing lots. In order to ensure fairness in the competition, the use of talismans is strictly prohibited, to prevent some wealthy and arrogant young masters from spending spirit stones to buy powerful talismans. It's worth noting that the use of talismans is not limited to cultivators, and some talismans are so powerful that even Foundation Establishment cultivators can't withstand them.

  Li Hui was scheduled for the 118th match, facing Monk No. 504. Although it seemed that his match was scheduled quite late, in fact, with two monks per match, more than 900 monks would be close to 500 matches. Li Hui was actually one of the earlier ones.

  There can be eight matches going on at the same time, and the pace is actually quite fast.
