"Li Wan, no matter how talented you are, you still can't enter the outer courtyard? Hahahaha..."

Zhengqimen, in front of Shanmen Square, Yin Shaohua laughed wildly, mocking and humiliating the people in front of him.

This is a young man with a slightly slender figure and a delicate face. His clothes are all in tatters, just like a poor disaster victim in the secular world.

The young man seemed to be injured and his steps were slightly staggering, but he was determined and persistent as he walked towards the towering mountain gate step by step.

In front of the mountain gate, two disciples in Tsing Yi stood with swords in their hands, looking at him indifferently.

The young man's lips moved, and he looked at the mountain gate in front of him with a complex expression, and behind the mountain gate, deep in the distant mountains, the great peaks of the Lingshan Mountains were hidden in the mist.

In the end, all the sadness turned into a long lament.

"Senior Brother Li!"

Many disciples around him showed unbearable expressions, but thinking about the consequences of offending Yin Shaohua, they couldn't help but stop the urge to come forward to comfort him.

Li Wan was originally an orphan in the secular world. By chance, he joined the Zhengqi Sect, one of the five major sects in Tiannan Cultivation World.

He started from the most ordinary job as a handyman, and within three years, he was taught the Zhengqi Jue, which has a wide reputation. In another seven years, he practiced the Zhengqi Jue to a perfect state, and became the best among the registered disciples.

After ten years of hard training, I had a chance to reach heaven in one step, be introduced by the immortal leader to enter the outer courtyard, and become a formal disciple. However, a year ago, I accidentally offended a disciple of the family named Yin Shaohua. At that time, Yin Shaohua threatened that no matter whether Li Wan

No matter how outstanding you are in the sect examination, you will never be selected.

He wanted Li Wan to pay the price.

Sure enough, there were three major levels and nine quizzes in the entrance examination. Li Wan excelled in every previous level and test, but at the end he met the deacon of the outer courtyard who was in charge of the examination. The deacon of the outer courtyard personally recommended him to meet with a very powerful outer courtyard.

The disciples fought with each other in a sword fight, and after dozens of moves, Li Wan was defeated and was judged to be unskilled in his profession, so he was defeated in the sword fight.

Li Wan was dissatisfied and went forward to argue with him, but he heard the deacon from the outer courtyard say that this sentence was nonsense, but it was a test of his character. How could he have expected that he was impetuous and disrespectful to his teacher, so he should be dismissed.

At this point, how could Li Wan still not know that the deacon was ordered by Yin Shaohua to deliberately embarrass him?

As for the reason for deposing?

If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?

"I am impetuous and disrespectful to my teacher... It's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous. You guys can't make up these heart-breaking words. That's all. I just don't want to join such a sect." After Li Wan lamented, he suddenly looked up to the sky.

Laughing, "The green hills remain unchanged and the green waters always flow. Everyone, let's just say goodbye!"

After ten years of hard training, Li Wan was no match for a light comment from others. Li Wan really felt like the sky was falling and the sun and the moon were dim. He also saw all the disciples in his sect. He knew clearly that Yin Shaohua was avenging his personal revenge, but no one dared to speak up. He couldn't help but

More and more bitter.

For a moment, he was disheartened and staggered towards the mountain path by himself.

***

"Senior Brother Li... I'm sorry!"

That night, several people who were qualified for promotion returned to the compound to pack their belongings, and at the same time they also said goodbye to other disciples who had been unsuccessful or those who were junior to the sect.

When the Yin family was not paying attention, they secretly came to Li Wan's room to see him.

"You have nothing to be sorry for me. Yin Shaohua bullied you that day, and I helped you. I was asking for trouble." Li Wan didn't even raise his head, just applying medicinal wine on himself to push the palace to activate blood circulation.

In fact, the enmity between Li Wan and Yin Shaohua started precisely because of them.

A year ago, Yin Shaohua bullied these disciples for trivial matters. Li Wan happened to see it, so he stepped forward and beat Yin Shaohua and several of his evil servants, warning him not to bully others.

.

Unexpectedly, several disciples feared retaliation and took the initiative to apologize to Yin Shaohua and beg for mercy. When Yin Shaohua reported the matter and wanted to use the dojo's precepts to punish Li Wan, they refused to come out to testify for him, causing him to get into a fight and be punished.

I spent a whole month facing the wall and thinking about it.

From then on, Li Wan knew that these people were unreliable and completely cut off contact with them.

Yin Shaohua was also a villain who was determined to retaliate. It was not enough to punish Li Wan once, but he had to kneel down and beg for mercy, voluntarily surrender to his disciples and become a thug and follower before he would let him go.

Although Li Wan came from a poor family, he was also very high-spirited, so why was he willing to agree? Naturally, the conflict started again.

This time, both sides had scruples and did not fight. It was just that the grudges had been forged and never resolved. They were always tit for tat, both overtly and covertly.

It wasn't until later that Yin Shaohua suddenly threatened to give him a good look in the sect's examination, which led to today's results.

Several disciples were all aware of these causes and consequences, and they were so ashamed by Li Wan's words.

Some people couldn't bear their conscience and said: "Brother, we don't ask for your forgiveness. Fortunately, there is still a long time before the stipulated twenty years. Senior brother, you are extremely talented, so we will wait for the opportunity in the future. If we achieve something in the outer courtyard in the future, we will definitely not

I owe you!"

After hearing this, Li Wan finally raised his head, but suddenly smiled: "After entering the outer courtyard, you will be honored as a Xuanmen monk. I can't bear your reward."

Everyone looked a little ugly, but then they saw Li Wan wave his hand: "It's late at night, all junior brothers, please go back. You have a bright future, there is no need to get entangled with me, an unlucky loser."

Some people wanted to say something more, but were stopped by their companions.

"Then we say goodbye."

Several people left in despair.

"Senior Brother Lan, why are you holding us?"

"Senior Brother Li is in a bad mood, so let's just leave him alone. Even if we have done something wrong now, it's not because of his being too tough. It's nothing to give Yin Shaohua a soft spot and admit his mistake that day.

Nothing happened?"

"Oh, this tough guy just refuses to admit defeat. He acts as if we all owe him!"

"Yes, once we enter the outer courtyard and learn the magical powers of the Immortal family, we will be completely transformed. We will repay this cause and effect in the future."

"If you don't repent, you will only be a mediocre person for the rest of your life. How can you get ahead?"

…

Li Wan just laughed it off as he listened to the conversation that those people were drifting away, but they were vaguely intended to be heard by him.

These people didn't know that Li Wan had already had the idea of ​​leaving, so he couldn't care less about arguing with them.

He even graciously asked them to leave as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by the Yin family and provoke Yin Shaohua, which would hinder his originally promising future.

"Anyway, I have completely offended Yin Shaohua. Even if I am lucky enough to pass the test next year without backstage support, I will still be suppressed. What's the point of staying like this? It's better to leave as soon as possible."

Li Wan sighed softly and shook his head secretly.

In fact, he also knew that Yin Shaohua ruined his career not just because of the simple reason of humiliating him before.

On the surface, what happened this time was a personal grudge between himself and Yin Shaohua, but in essence, he was not a disciple from a poor family, and was not tolerated by those wealthy families.

With his own qualifications, although he is not the best, he can still be regarded as a good talent. If he does, he will inevitably take up the treasure allocation quota of other disciples, and there will be various expenses...

If he is willing to join the family and find a backer, not to mention his rapid career, at least the troubles he is facing can be avoided. But in this way, he will be like the registered disciples who took the initiative to apologize to Yin Shaohua and beg for mercy, and then became the minions of the Yin family.

what is the difference?

Of course, I can stay and fight with them, but they have so many followers that one person cannot fight them. Even if he can fight, it will be a waste of energy in the long run and will be of no use to his cultivation. It is better to jump out of this corner and gain something in return.

The sea and the sky are vast.

All these factors became the reasons why Li Wan made up his mind to leave.

***

There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, Li Wan took his luggage down the mountain.

He had other plans when he left. He did not leave the sad place as quickly as ordinary people, but first stayed at the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain.

In today's world, the path of immortality is flourishing, and people who are cultivating and seeking knowledge can be seen everywhere, but those who have not yet achieved the golden elixir belong to the ordinary category. Even if they pretend to be members of the Taoist sect, they are still no different from ordinary people in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Even if Li Wan wanted to travel far away, he could not travel thousands of miles in a day. He still had to walk on two legs honestly. He still had to stay, eat, drink, and rest. He had to be well prepared for the long journey.

Moreover, in addition to the minor injuries caused by the fight, Li Wan now has another difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently.

The difficult thing is that he doesn't have much money left.

Li Wan came from a poor family, and during his many years in the dojo, he devoted himself to cultivation and was not prepared for these things. Only when he was about to set out did he realize that he did not have enough money.

"If I had known it earlier, I should have asked for a loan last night, but I have already decided to leave. Wouldn't this loan be for nothing? It would make others look down on me. I might as well think of a solution myself."

Li Wan thought about it very hard and found that whether he wanted to switch to another sect or go to the wild and become a wandering cultivator, he had to have money with him.

In this world, it is difficult to move forward without money.

As for how to make money?

Li Wan's plan was to sell jade talismans in the market near the Taoist temple to some mortal children who came to learn from his master.

The so-called jade talisman is a small magical instrument engraved with spiritual stone, which belongs to the category of amulet.

This kind of jade talisman is very common in the world of cultivation. It is not even of high grade, and its functions are limited to making fire, keeping away dust, and preventing moisture. However, it is very popular among ordinary people from rich families, who think it is quite magical and useful.

Li Wan has been in the dojo for many years and has already learned this craft, and the registered disciples are excellent in learning, and the sect will also reward them accordingly. Although he usually doesn't pay attention to saving money, he still has more than a hundred spiritual stones on hand.

You can barely cope with it.

"Ten spirit stones can be exchanged for one tael of mortal silver. However, spirit stones are mostly used to refine weapons or to enrich the base of magic circles. They are not circulated in the mortal world. I plan to leave now. The usefulness of spirit stones is far less than that of silver.
