The six people standing in the middle are all full of vigor and vitality. They have become the best in the eyes of everyone with their own strength.

The first in the inner sect is Nangong Xue, the youngest disciple directly taught by Xuanyuan Sword Master and the undisputed number one among the new sect's disciples.

The second place was a disciple of Tianji Peak named Liu Xing, who had learned the true teachings from his master and won the competition by relying on divination and his mediocre kung fu.

The third one is Ding Yurou, a disciple taught directly by Tian Miaofeng. She is better at using poison than medicine. Her gentle and quiet appearance makes her opponents more sympathetic to her. Plus, if they offend Tian Miaofeng, they will have to suffer a lot in the future when they get treatment and medicine.

The above three people are all direct disciples, and they deserve the rankings they won. However, the key point is the top three in the outer sect, which is truly the result of their own strength.

The third place, Cao Jun, has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and is a young man at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He looks at the big man on the stage with extremely excited eyes, and his simple character can be seen through at a glance.

The second place is Zheng Huaian, who has dual spiritual roots of gold and earth. He has an arrogant look and a hint of disdain in his eyes. He must be a rich kid who is arrogant. His cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining is also the result of the accumulation of elixirs and immortal herbs in his family.

The first one, Qi Gui, is the man with an ugly birthmark on his face. In Luo Yiyi's eyes, he is the son of the world, and the male protagonist in the story.

All the male protagonists have a rough past, and Qi Gui is no exception.

His father, Qi Feng, was the second son of the prominent Qi family. Possessing the wind spiritual root, he had been the pride of his family since childhood. He left home at a young age to become a disciple of Taiyi Sect and practice cultivation.

Taiyi Sect is a large sect on par with Tianyan Sect, located in Nanzhou Continent. Unlike Tianyan Sect's policy of comprehensive development, Taiyi Sect respects the sword, and sword cultivators occupy an absolute leading position in the sect. The advantage is that it is easier to recruit good sword cultivators, but the disadvantage is that they are too complacent.

The two sects seemed harmonious on the surface, but secretly disliked each other, especially after the Tianyan Sect produced Xuanyuan Zhan, the world's number one sword master, the two became incompatible.

At that time, Qifeng was also regarded as a rising star in Taiyi Sect and was being trained as a key figure. Unexpectedly, he met the demon saint Ji Hua during a mission. At first, the two seemed like a pair of happy enemies, but as they spent more time together, their feelings quickly heated up and they finally got together.

As the story goes, their relationship was discovered by the righteous and evil sects, and they were hunted down by them. During their escape, they gave birth to a child.

No one knows what name the parents gave the child. All we know is that one day Ji Hua, covered in blood, appeared at the doorstep of a villager's house. He tearfully entrusted the child to the villager, then turned and left, never to be seen again.

The villager was a kindhearted family. The daughter-in-law was just out of confinement after giving birth, so she took extra care of the poor child. The birthmark on the child's face made her sympathize and love overflow. A year passed like this, and the child was over one year old. According to the agreement, the villagers took the child to the Qi family and handed the child over to the then head of the Qi family, who was also Qi Feng's father.

Perhaps out of love for his son, the head of the Qi family could not bear to kill his little grandson. In addition, after examination, he found that there was no demonic energy in the child's body, and his spiritual roots were the most useless of the five spiritual roots, and he had no talent for cultivation. Therefore, he kept the child and treated him as an idle person.

However, his hatred for the child's mother still affected his attitude. He no longer paid any attention to this nominal grandson. Even when someone asked about the child's name, the head of the Qi family replied coldly in front of everyone.

"Since he looks like neither a human nor a ghost, let's call him Qi Gui."

These simple words seemed to have left a mark on Qi Gui's miserable childhood. He was looked down upon by everyone and bullied by children of the same age or even older. He was hungry and cold all day long. His only comfort was an old gardener who treated him well, but the old man passed away when he was 3 years old.

The 3-year-old boy earned a little money by doing odd jobs, but most of the time his money was snatched away before he could even warm it up, and he was also scolded and beaten. Most of the time, his extremely talented cousin was responsible for most of the trouble.

After three years of this, the six-year-old Qi Gui really became a person neither human nor ghost, even more miserable than a beggar. Until Taiyi Sect and Tianyan Sect came to accept him as a disciple.

Although the Qi family produced the villain Qi Feng, they have always had a good relationship with the Taiyi Sect. The Taiyi Sect came to recruit Qi Bin, Qi Gui's cousin, and to see if there are any other talents.

In the world of cultivation, recruiting new people is also a matter of competing for talent. Only good people can make the sect develop faster and become stronger. For this reason, Tianyan Sect was unwilling to lag behind and actually came here to set up a stall to recruit people.

Qi Gui plucked up the courage to kneel in front of the recruiter of Taiyi Sect, kowtowed and begged the other party to let him join. However, he did not expect that the recruiter not only refused, but also turned around and told the matter to Qi Bin as a joke. Qi Bin was immediately furious, turned around and beat Qi Gui severely, and also laughed at him for being ugly and causing trouble.

Dragging his dying and broken body, Qi Gui was thrown out of the Qi family. Qi Bin warned the servants that he could not enter the house until tomorrow, and then slammed the door shut in front of Qi Gui's eyes, extinguishing the last bit of desire for home in Qi Gui's heart.

The desperate child didn't know where to go. There was no place for him in the world. He just crawled forward numbly relying on instinct, leaving a bloodstain where he crawled. The people around him seemed to be blind, and no one came forward to show concern.

At this time, the protagonist's law of immortality came into play, and Qi Gui relied on his tenacious will to hold on until he reached the Tianyan Sect's recruiting booth before he fainted.

When the new disciples were being recruited, they felt sorry for the child and found out that he was from the Qi family and had a tragic life story. Then they suddenly thought of taking him back. After all, it would be like snatching a child from the Qi family from the mortal enemy, Taiyi Sect, right?

Just like that, Qi Gui, by some strange coincidence - and also by the arrangement of heaven, came to the outer sect of Tianyan Sect and became an outer sect disciple.

However, even the outer sects of large sects are mixed with all kinds of people coming here. After all, the outer sect members are not qualified to be considered disciples of Tianyan Sect.

This place has become a small society where strength, money and outstanding looks can make your life better here. Otherwise, if you don’t have any of them, you will only become what everyone calls an “inferior person”.

The outer sect deacons turned a blind eye to this. This was not a charity place. If they wanted to go far on the path of cultivation, they would have to give up the idea of ​​cultivation as soon as possible if they couldn't even handle the current situation.

"Get out of my way, you ugly bastard! You're getting in my way!"

Children aged 7 or 8 can be angels or demons, and Qi Gui unfortunately encountered the latter.

Because of his appearance, he was despised and hated since he was a child, as if being ugly was a sin. Being targeted by those dandy boys with bad behavior became his new nightmare, and the place where he was bullied was just changed from the Qi family to the outer gate.

But he was born with the tough mind necessary for a protagonist. No matter how desperate the situation is, he still has a heart that expects hope to come.

He never gave up, and firmly believed that he would be able to get the life he wanted one day through his own efforts. Although he was not sure what kind of life that was, through his hard work and the bonus of heaven's luck, he broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining in just a few years.

Now standing in the public eye, looking up at the stairs, recalling that three years ago he was standing at the end of the crowd, but now he is standing at the place his heart desires, his heart surged and he couldn't help but clench his fists hanging at his sides, but he still couldn't stop his whole body from shaking with excitement.

His bright eyes were staring at Xuanyuan Zhan without any concealment, but he was unaware that another pair of innocent eyes were also staring at him without any concealment.
