At noon, Xiaoqiu stood in the open space in front of the horse farm building, looking at the entrance of the valley. Behind him were dozens of agile horses, looking with him, as if he knew that today was a special day, only the colorful foal ran around.

Zhou Ping, Guan Shenyue and others arrived on time, with a total of fifty or sixty people, most of whom were male disciples. As soon as they entered the valley, they saw the group of horses, and they immediately ran away more than twenty people, but Zhou Ping couldn't even chase them back.

The rest of the people stood at the entrance of the valley and were still surfing. They were afraid of the herd of horses and Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu strode over, and Ma Qun did not follow him this time. Perhaps because he felt it was boring, he ran towards the depths of the valley to eat grass.

More than thirty disciples were anxious, some were carrying food and some were holding wooden bowls. They were not like enthusiastic disciples who came to practice together, but more like refugees who left their hometowns to beg for food. Zhou Ping and the others obviously ignored the word "voluntary" and tried their best to do a better job of Xiaoqiu's tasks, and brought many people to "support".

It is a good thing that the horses scare away a group of people.

"I'm sorry... Brother Xiaoqiu, there are not many of them." Guan Shenyue looked quite embarrassed. He probably discussed with his friends. In order to show his affection, he stopped talking about "big brother" and followed Daliang to call the boy "Brother Xiaoqiu" who was four or five years younger than him.

"It's enough, maybe there's still a little more." Xiaoqiu was very satisfied. He saw Daliang Shen Xiuming in the crowd and smiled and nodded at him. Daliang had no intention of practicing. This trip was to encourage popularity for good friends.

Xin Youtao was also there, with a look of reluctance and a little contempt and disdain, as if he foresees that today's party would be a farce that ended without success.

Xiaoqiu waved his hand and signaled everyone to walk into the valley with him. Daliang was the first to follow, and the others followed him sparsely. While the people ahead were out of sight, four or five disciples turned around and escaped from the valley.

Xiaoqiu stood in front of the stone trough. He had thought about these words for a night. Although they were not mature enough, they were his most real thoughts.

"I know you don't believe me, just a disciple of Kuotong Santian. What qualifications do you have to teach yourself? You actually want to take other disciples to practice together. This is simply a delusion."

Although everyone looked different, some covered up, and some laughed bitterly, their ideas were correct from Xiaoqiu. Even Daliang lowered his head and could not fully support his good friends in this matter.

"I know you don't believe in yourself. You are sent to the Imperial Service because you have no results in your practice. How could you return to the path of cultivation? You even want to condense your energy into a pill?"

Even Zhou Ping, who wanted to please Xiao Qiu the most, didn't want to hide it. Being expelled from the Yangshen Peak had a huge impact on these disciples. Few people talked about cultivation, let alone facing their own failures.

"I think you all have family members. What expressions do parents and relatives do when they hear that you have the root of Taoism? What expressions will they do when you return to your hometown in a few years? They may not know that you have entered the Imperial House, nor do they know that you have given up on your practice. They are still full of expectations, thinking that a Taoist priest in the family will appear, and even show off to everyone they know or not."

The Nine Daotong is not famous among ordinary people. Will relatives and friends show off this? Xiaoqiu is actually not sure, but his words did hit the weakest part of everyone's hearts - he will not face his parents in the future, which is almost all the disciples of Zhiyeng. Therefore, many people would rather stay at Zhiyeng than go home early.

A disciple covered his face and started crying.

"If there is a little chance now, it is just a little bit to let you condense your energy into pills. As a real Taoist priest of Pangshan, are you willing to make a try? No matter how hard it is, you must seize this opportunity?"

Finally someone spoke, and a tall male disciple asked, "But where is the opportunity? It's invisible and intangible."

"In your own heart." Xiao Qiu pointed at the male disciple and raised his voice, "In the past few years, you have learned the method of following the heavens, the same practice rules, the same eating habits, and the same walking posture. Now these are useless. Without the protection of Yangshen Peak and the guidance of the Ministry of Education, the method of following the heavens is meaningless. It is a coincidence that I know there is another technique to go against the heavens."

"We all know the art of defiance against the heavens in Mengdu teaching." Another disciple spoke, "I also took the class of the Mengdu teaching when I was at Yangshen Peak. He is quite special, but the so-called art of defiance against the heavens is just a saying, and the practice methods he teaches are no different from other teachings."

"The art of defiance of the heavens is not a unique method of practice. It is will. I firmly believe that I can break through the limits." Xiaoqiu clenched his fists and waved it, "As long as you want, you will have the opportunity to condense the energy and form a pill. Not every disciple needs the protection of others. Mengdu Sect himself condenses the pill alone, and the wound on his face was left at that time."

Very few disciples knew about Meng Yuanhou’s past, and were shocked when they heard Xiao Qiu’s statement.

"Really? The Mengdu Sect condenses the pill alone and does not need the protection of high Taoists?" Zhou Ping couldn't believe his ears and couldn't help asking.

"Why am I lying to everyone?" Xiao Qiu spread his arms, "I want to practice the Mengdu sect's heaven-defying technique. If there is no chance at all, why waste time in vain?"

This is a powerful argument. Many disciples were forced to come to watch the fun, but at this time they whispered to each other and were already moved.

"Now I want to ask, who would like to practice with me?"

"I do!" Daliang was the first to stand up, he couldn't let Xiao Qiu lose his face.

"I... am willing, too." Zhou Ping was pushed out by his accomplices and had to whisper.

The others were not moved, especially Guan Shenyue. He was the only one among this group who had tried to condense Qi into a pill, and his choice could influence many people.

Guan Shenyue grabbed his Fengfeng ear a few times, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I heard... you... well... have a wife in the secret department. Is it true?"

Before Xiaoqiu could speak, Daliang said first: "That's right, Qin Lingshuang, we all call her Fangfang, we came from Yelin Town together, and we will come to see Brother Xiaoqiu in a few days."

These words caused a lot of discussion. When the voice gradually faded, Guan Shenyue grabbed his ear twice. Before he could speak, he laughed twice and asked unnaturally: "Brother Xiaoqiu. Is your purpose of hard work to practice is to enter the Old Ancestor Peak and not be too far away by Qin Lingshuang?"

"Brother Xiaoqiu could have been able to participate in the Five Elements Department. It was him..." Daliang said robbing Bai.

Guan Shenyue was more mature after all, so he wanted to be sure that Xiaoqiu practiced the art of defiance against the sky on a whim or that there was enough reason.

Xiaoqiu signaled Daliang to speak himself. He had already used all the words he had thought of last night. He had to adapt to the situation. "Qin Lingshuang and I haven't gotten married. She is not my wife, but you are right. I want to condense the air into a pill. I don't want to be too far away by her, and I even want to surpass her."

Xiaoqiu looked at everyone, and they all looked up at him because of this confession, including Guan Shenyue.

"She is like my relative, so I like you, hope to stand out and bring glory to my relatives."

There seemed to be more people who were moved, but no one came out. A female disciple said, "Since there is no special method for the art of defiance of heaven. Why do you have to practice together? Is it okay for everyone to practice their own things?"

"Of course, I put everyone together in the hope of supervising each other and promoting each other, so that the path of cultivation is less lonely. The most important thing is not to waste the elixir."

"Pills, do you have pills?" Guan Shenyue asked in surprise.

Xiaoqiu nodded and looked at Xin Youtao.

Xin Youtao stood in the crowd and said nothing. At this time, he reluctantly walked to Xiaoqiu and handed him a small wooden box. He said nothing.

This is the first batch of elixirs left by the princess.

Xiaoqiu opened it and looked at it. There were many small bottles and jars inside. They all had small notes on them, and the names were marked, "There are five sections of Qingmu scent paste, the Concentric Incense and the Concentric Incense."

"Can everyone use it?" Guan Shenyue was even more surprised.

"Yes, everyone shares it."

"Really?" Xin Youtao finally spoke, more surprised than Guan Shenyue. He knew better than most people here that this small box of elixirs is of great value, and it would be enough for him to give it to Mu Xingqiu.

"Only with many people can compete, and with competition can we speed up progress. These elixirs are placed here, and everyone who comes here to practice can enjoy them." Xiao Qiu said sternly. He tried his best to summon everyone to practice together, but in fact it was mainly prepared for Xin Youtao. This kid didn't even know it.

"Come here to practice?" Zhou Ping pointed to the grass under his feet, "It will take half a day to run, but it will take a day to go back and forth."

"That's because you didn't use force. You should have all opened your seven orifices. Some people even opened up the three fields. If you have this potential, you can run from the village to the horse farm within an hour, and maybe it can be faster. If you want to practice the art of defiance of the heavens, start by tapping your potential. This is the first practice."

Xiaoqiu looked at everyone again, hoping to guess what they thought, "I have to be voluntarily against the heavens and the heavens, so I don't force them to join, sorry, I'm wasted your time, I can leave now, and stay what I want to join."

"You have elixirs, this is a good thing." A disciple in the back row shouted, then shook his head, "But even the Masters think I have no hope - I'd better not waste good things."

He turned around and walked out of the valley, with several disciples following him, and then more and more people left, and the rest were hesitant.

Xiaoqiu said to Zhou Ping and others: "You can also choose freely. I only have people who are really interested in the art of defiance of heaven."

Zhou Ping swallowed and retreated to his friends, but they did not leave, and looked at Guan Shenyue with more than ten other people who did not leave.

Guan Shenyue lowered his head, still looking depressed. The pair of Fengying's ears became more and more eye-catching. After a while, he raised his head, "I'll join, but one thing is explained first. The method of Condensing the Pill is very complicated, and the one I have learned may not be enough."

"I will get the complete method, leave it to me." Xiao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. The person he wanted to win the most was obtained.

Guan Shenyue's choice is an important sign. Several disciples expressed their willingness to practice the art of defiance together. Zhou Ping also agreed again. The others turned around and left, and before leaving, they all said goodbye to Xiaoqiu.

There were fourteen people including Xiaoqiu, which was more than he expected. "From tomorrow, I want you to set out from the village before dawn, and you must arrive at the horse farm within an hour."

"Can't you live here?" Daliang asked, and he had a headache when he thought of running for an hour.

"No, this is one of the practice lessons." Xiaoqiu would not give a look to his good friend. "There are two things to be solved next. First, Zhang Lingsheng has to agree to our practice, and second, he has to bring my mother in."

The previous thing is okay. Guan Shenyue and the Taoist priests who have been in charge of affairs all year round can speak, but the second thing scares everyone.

"My mother? How is this possible?"

"Tell me everything you know, and then I will find a way." Xiaoqiu showed confidence.
