Before the "Outer Sect Competition", he was promoted to the middle stage of Tongmai and his strength reached another level. There should be no problem.

…

The next day.

Zhou Xing got up and went to the Zongwu Hall.

This time, he was not here to do a sect mission, but to collect and exchange some spiritual medicinal materials.

In the Zongwu Hall, in addition to publishing and accepting tasks, there are also exchanges for some common spiritual materials and elixirs. The most common ones are some healing potions and elixirs to assist in cultivation.

In a side hall.

"A total of one hundred and two second-grade Yuan stones, two hundred and ten contribution points. In addition, the 'Marrow of the Barbarian Ox' and 'Yuanzhu Grass' that you need are relatively popular and are currently out of stock."

A red-robed deacon spoke calmly.

so much?

Zhou Xing was startled and a little surprised.

The spiritual materials he collected were another body-tempering prescription in the "Bronze Statue Skill" that was slightly higher than the "commoner's prescription".

This second body-tempering prescription is relatively low-end in the "Bronze Statue Skill"; however, the ingredients used in this prescription are no longer ordinary precious materials in the world.

Although Zhou Xing was well prepared, the final price still exceeded expectations.

The key is.

The main ingredient of this prescription, "Marrow of the Barbarian Ox," has not yet been redeemed. Only the other seven or eight auxiliary spiritual materials require so many multi-stones and contribution points.

"Is it too expensive? Hey..."

The red-robed deacon laughed strangely: "The materials of my Zongwu Hall are naturally more than 20% more expensive than those purchased privately from outside. Otherwise, if you bother to look for them one by one yourself, the price will be cheaper."

Zhou Xing didn't waste any more nonsense, paid the yuan stones and contributions, and exchanged these auxiliary materials.

There was only one and a half months left for the "Outer Sect Competition". How could he have so much time to look for those auxiliary treasures one by one.

Thus.

Zhou Xing has very few contribution points left. He only has less than a hundred second-grade Yuan stones left.

For the remaining two spiritual materials, "Marrow of the Barbarian Ox" and "Yuanzhu Grass", Zhou Xing could only think of a solution on his own.

Walk out of the Zongwu Hall.

Zhou Xing met an acquaintance, a man with triangular eyes.

It is Ding Jiuhui.

"Junior Brother Zhou? You came to Zongwu Hall to collect materials?"

Ding Jiuhui greeted Zhou Xing with a smile on his face.

Since the last mission to kill the "Bear King", Ding Jiuhui has looked at Zhou Xing with admiration.

Without Zhou Xing's action that day, he would not have been able to successfully advance to the middle stage of Tongmai.

Now, Zhou Xing was promoted to the Tongmai stage and became an official outer disciple. Ding Jiuhui naturally looked at such a powerful sect with a different eye.

"Yes. There are still two precious materials left."

Zhou Xing raised the bag in his hand and explained his specific situation.

"oh?"

Ding Jiuhui said curiously: "The price of collecting materials in the Zongwu Hall is not cheap. But if you are just short of two rare materials that are slightly out of the ordinary, you can try your luck at the 'Outer Sect Exchange Meeting' the day after tomorrow."

External communication meeting?

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered some rumors about this exchange meeting.

"Now that Junior Brother Zhou has been promoted to Tongmai, he has become an official disciple. It's time to get in touch with this 'circle'. Why not, let me take you in."

Ding Jiuhui looked enlightened.

turn out to be.

This "outer sect exchange meeting" is generally only for senior disciples of the outer sect, who must at least be promoted to the Tongmai stage.

In the past, Zhou Xing had only cultivated in the body-forging stage and was a marginal figure in the outer sect. Naturally, he had never entered that small circle.

"Then there's Senior Brother Lauding."

Zhou Xing quickly thanked him.

As far as he knows.

This outer sect exchange meeting is a small activity for senior outer sect disciples to exchange martial arts experience with each other and promote each other.

and.

At the exchange meeting, senior disciples can trade their resources.

Zhou Xing has longed for this exchange meeting for a long time.

It is said that some real geniuses and elites from the outer sects will occasionally show up at exchange meetings.

"I hope the exchange meeting the day after tomorrow will be fruitful."

Zhou Xing returned to his residence and began to practice meditation cross-legged.

The collection of prescriptions is an important part of his spiritual practice; the key to whether he can attack the inner sect lies in the "Bronze Statue Technique"!

Two days later.

Zhou Xing, led by Ding Jiuhui, arrived at a small courtyard at the north corner of the outer gate.

At the entrance of the courtyard, two outer disciples were squatting, joking and joking, which seemed a bit like guarding the door.

"Senior Brother Ding, you are here..."

The two outer disciples quickly stood up and greeted Ding Jiuhui.

"Who is this?"

One of the outer disciples looked at Zhou Xing.

In the circle of senior disciples, Zhou Xing was still a new face, attending an exchange meeting for the first time.

"Hey! Are you that Zhou Xing who eats soft food?"

Another outer disciple actually recognized Zhou Xing and blurted out.

"I'll go! Is he Zhou Xing? The pretty boy who got Mu Xueqing? From what I see, he's not much more handsome than me."

The outer disciple from before had a huge reaction and stared straight at Zhou Xing.

The two men seemed to be looking at some rare animal, and they looked at Zhou Xing several times.

Eating soft food? Pretty boy?

Zhou Xing's face twitched slightly.

After walking hand in hand with Mu Xueqing that time, he has never taken off the hat of being a free-for-all, even though he has been promoted to Tongmai and became an official disciple.

"Hmph! You two, stop talking nonsense! Junior Brother Zhou's strength is not inferior to mine. This time, I'm here to take him to the exchange meeting."

Ding Jiuhui glared at the two of them.

"Hey! Senior Brother Ding, you go in first."

The two of them smiled playfully and raised their hands to let Ding Jiuhui and Zhou Xing enter the yard.

As for Ding Jiuhui's evaluation of Zhou Xing's strength, the two of them naturally didn't believe it. They thought it was Zhou Xing's relationship with Ding Jiuhui and wanted to enter this circle.

Enter the courtyard.

The first thing Zhou Xing saw was a spacious martial arts arena.

Ouch! Ouch!

On the martial arts field, two Tongmai stage disciples were sparring intensively in boxing.

Judging from the cultivation level of the two, although they are in the middle stage of Tongmai, their real strength is comparable to those in the late stage of Tongmai outside.

After all, the sect has considerable advantages in terms of martial arts foundation and grade.

Around the martial arts arena, some outer disciples stood here and there, watching the battle and occasionally talking in low voices.

"Tsk, tsk, with the level of these two people, even if they want to reach the top twenty in the competition, it's probably impossible!"

A plump, round-faced young man, chewing an apple in his hand, stood on the steps, overlooking the two men fighting in the martial arts arena, and said with disdain.

The chubby boy's voice was rather harsh and could be heard by everyone present.

When several people nearby heard this, they all looked at the chubby boy with some fear.

However, the chubby young man had a good status in the outer sect, and there were people around him who boasted about walking horses.

"Brother Huang is right!"

"With such strength, how dare you show yourself to shame?"
