This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaosheng thinks that Zhou Ran can survive until the end of time, and he is really living a life of survival, not just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

This otaku has the main world as a fallback. If he dies in the small world, he dies. He has no pressure at all!

Fortunately, Donghua Sect does not blindly condone its disciples to practice the Dao of Humiliation. After the three-year protection period for novices, no matter if they are outer disciples, inner disciples, or true disciples, they all have to fight for it!

The path to becoming an immortal lies in the word "struggle"!

Whether it is cultivation resources or spiritual cave, they all need to be fought for. Not to mention anything else, even if Zhou Ran wants to hide, he may not be able to keep this cave!

Ugh! He thought he could just hide away and practice after entering the sect, but he was only at the third level of foundation building and already had to participate in the inner sect competition.

He still has to participate in two events, one is a normal competition, and the other is a talisman competition. He is not given any chance to perform poorly!

"Brother Ran! Wait for me!"

Zhou Ran was flying towards the square where the sect competition was taking place when he heard a shout from behind him.

Zhou Ran knew without looking back that the only person who would call him like that was his "next-door neighbor", the one who lived five miles away.

Ever since this "neighbor" successfully established his foundation a year ago and was promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, he was assigned to the cave residence five miles away and made friends with Zhou Ran through "friendly neighborliness."

After that, he would call out "Brother Ran, Brother Ran" every few days.

What's this girl's name? Sang Yu?

Zhou Ran went straight ahead without even a pause. This little girl was very good at climbing up the pole, and he was afraid of trouble.

Sang Yu is good at self-regulation. Zhou Ran has been ignoring her for more than a day or two, so she follows Zhou Ran happily.

In fact, she didn't have too many thoughts. She just felt that Zhou Ran was protected by Chu Xue. If she followed Zhou Ran, she would also be protected by Senior Sister Chu, who had inherited the true teachings of the Golden Elixir.

She entered Donghua Sect as an outer disciple at the age of six. She was gifted with dual spiritual roots. Although she had a baby face, she was actually thirty years old.

Why do you call Zhou Ran brother? It's because your cultivation level is not as high as Zhou Ran's. The one who has achieved the most should be the first!

Zhou Ran himself may not know that he is very famous among the outer disciples.

Born as a casual cultivator, he was already a third-rank talisman master and inner disciple when he entered the sect.

This makes many foreigners in their sixties and seventies very jealous.

Sang Yu felt that as long as she could rely on Zhou Ran, at least she wouldn't have to worry about the resources before the Golden Core stage. A third-level talisman master could make a lot of spirit stones.

But it seems that Zhou Ran has not yet come to his senses. That's right. If the young man had fallen in love so early, it would have been impossible for him to build a foundation before the age of 20 and improve his talisman skills to the third level.

In order to get close to Zhou Ran, Sang Yu studied the art of talismans for a long time. At present... he has not yet broken through to the first-level talisman master, but he has learned how to make talisman paper, and his income and expenditure are barely balanced.

Just wait and see, until she can make high-level talisman paper, and see if Zhou Ran will still ignore her like this!

Sang Yu, who has no talent for talismans but accidentally awakened the talent for "papermaking", encouraged himself.

There was no way, Zhou Ran was the person she could contact who could most easily take her flying.

Outsiders like Zhou Ran don't understand that among the outer disciples of Donghua Sect, except for those gifted ones who broke through the foundation building within ten years, the other outer disciples don't have a good life.

In some aspects, they may even be inferior to casual cultivators.

The protection period for novices is only three years. After that, if you want to cultivate resources, you have to work.

Zhou Ran didn't know that Sang Yu, who was following behind him, was daydreaming. He was just thinking about what kind of result he should get in the competition to guarantee his own cave dwelling.

For people who are used to staying at home, no place is better than their own.

Facts have proved that he was overthinking it. What position can the third level of foundation building rank in the small competition?

In the first match, this unlucky guy drew a senior brother who had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage, so he decisively gave up.

The other brother didn't pursue him relentlessly, and Zhou Ran was willing to admit defeat. That was the end of it.

In fact, ever since that senior brother advanced to the great perfection of the foundation-building stage, most of the opponents encountered in the competition made this choice.

Having admitted defeat in the first match, Zhou Ran had no chance to compete in the second match. However, he did not leave, but went to the Xiuxian Hundred Arts Arena on the other side.

Alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, formations... Donghua Sect really has a hundred flowers blooming.

Zhou Ran was not in a hurry to go to the talisman competition arena, but stayed in front of the alchemy competition stage for a while.

When I first traveled through time, I was quite poor and couldn’t afford alchemy, but now, maybe I can give it a try.

After observing the number of cultivators in the alchemy competition, Zhou Ran turned around and went to the next competition stage.

"Junior Brother Zhou, a third-level Talisman Master, is exempt from the test..."

"what?"

This time it was Zhou Ran's turn to be stunned. So, he was an exempted contestant?

"Junior Brother Zhou, there is no third-level talisman master below the Jindan level in our sect. You are the only one." The Jindan deacon who served as the referee smiled helplessly. He had forgotten that Zhou Ran had just joined the sect three years ago. It seemed that he didn't know about this.

"So I'm the best in the art of talismans among the inner disciples?"

"That's right, Junior Brother Zhou." The Jindan Deacon nodded. He was only a third-level talisman master, and it took him many years of entering the Jindan realm before he was promoted.

His talent in the art of talismans is far inferior to Zhou Ran's.

Zhou Ran nodded. So, the sect competition that he had been worried about for half a month was over before it even started?

Since he was the undisputed number one in the inner sect's art of talismans, it was impossible for anyone to rob his cave. Zhou Ran turned around and went to the General Affairs Hall to take on a year's talisman task. He then sold the talismans he had saved to the General Affairs Hall in exchange for spirit stones and contribution points, which he then exchanged for a standard alchemy furnace and 100 sets of materials for refining the marrow cleansing pill.

I went out with full of trepidation, but returned with full loads.

Zhou Ran also found it quite funny. The Marrow Cleansing Pill had never existed in any other small world he had experienced. This kind of pill was suitable for mortals to cleanse their essence and marrow, and was suitable for those in his family.

I just don't know whether the main world has the same rich cultivation resources as here.

First of all, he has to learn how to refine the marrow cleansing pill!

This kind of elixir is usually taken before it enters the body, so it is very common and cheap in this world full of cultivators.

Of course, this cheapness is relative. For Zhou Ran, whose third-level talisman can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones, he can buy ten bottles of marrow cleansing pills a day, which is indeed cheap.

But for Old Huang back then, it was very expensive.

Oh, I haven’t visited Old Huang’s grave for three years.

Zhou Ran wondered when he could go on a mission so that he could go back and weed Old Huang's grave.

Well, it must be at least the late stage of foundation building, or the great perfection of foundation building?

The Donghua Sect teaches a hundred arts of cultivation. If Zhou Ran wants to learn alchemy, he can do so as long as he is willing to spend contribution points.

After three months of theoretical study, Zhou Ran started to make pills. Out of a hundred ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he succeeded in making more than thirty. Facts proved that this thing was indeed not difficult to make and was a good pill for alchemists to practice.
