The two of them had long since exhausted their spiritual energy, but they managed to hold on without falling. At this moment, they actually felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

In the distance, one can already see with the naked eye that the teleportation barrier is coming.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly moved.

"what?!"

The two of them became alert.

The next second, a figure emerged.

"Are you going out on your own, or should I send you out?!"

Zhao Yu held the flying sword and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Damn it, you're the guy who stole our golden scroll, and you didn't leave?!"

Ji Bufan immediately recognized Zhao Yu and roared angrily.

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Didn't we agree before we started the war? After the golden items come out, everyone will do what they can!"

"You shameless kid, did you participate in the siege?!"

The number one seed from the Zhou family was also very angry.

When Zhao Yu heard this, he ducked and flew in front of him, "Just go out first!"

Then, he raised his sword and slashed at the man's neck.

"you dare!"

The number one seed of the Zhou family roared angrily. After all, he didn't dare to gamble. Before the flying sword was about to strike, he crushed the token and left.

"What a courage!"

When Ji Bufan saw this scene, the anger on his face disappeared, he shook his head and said: "You are not even afraid of him, and you are probably not afraid of me, so take this first place, I hope you can bear it!"

After saying something meaningful, he took the initiative to crush the token and left the secret realm.

After he left, Zhao Yu was not in a hurry to crush the token. Instead, he stood at the center and continued to wait.

He was afraid that there were people like him who would hold back their breath and hide underground.

However, this time he was overthinking it, and until the barrier was completely closed, no second person appeared, and Zhao Yu was finally teleported out of the secret realm.

Zhao Yu came out of the secret realm and suddenly became the center of attention.

The person who left the secret realm first has already told what happened while he was still in it.

Some people looked at Zhao Yu with anger in their eyes, while others were full of curiosity.

"Zhao Yu, right? I remember you!"

Ji Bufan took a deep look at Zhao Yu, turned around and left.

This trial was a shame for him. The first place was not taken by the Zhou family's seed, but by an unknown guy.

Not only Ji Bufan, many people present carefully remembered Zhao Yu's face before leaving, looking forward to recreating the scene next time.

"Are you number one?!" Ji Gang was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Zhao Yu actually won the first place in this trial.

You know, the best result he expected was that Zhao Yu could enter the top 100 and keep his seed.

But now, it not only exceeded expectations, but also reached a height he had never imagined.

As more and more people left, the trial came to an end.

Zhao Yu's name also spread in a small area in Shushan.

Especially in this circle during the foundation building period, it is even more powerful.

The news spread back to the Zhao family, causing another uproar.

But none of this had anything to do with Zhao Yu. After he received the reward for being ranked first, he quietly returned to his residence.

I started a regular schedule, and every day I was either learning new elixir recipes or refining elixirs for Sun Lele.

Compared with others who spend a lot of time practicing, Zhao Yu has enough time to study the various arts of cultivating immortals.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

In the past ten years, Ji Bufan has been promoted to the Golden Core stage. Unfortunately, the competition for seeds in the Golden Core stage is too fierce.

Even though he was very young, he still failed to get a seed spot in the Golden Core stage.

The main reason is that the top 100 seed players in the Golden Core stage have all reached the late Golden Core stage.

As Ji Bufan was promoted to the Golden Core stage, his attention to Zhao Yu also decreased.

In addition, the seed players in the foundation stage have also been changed one after another.

Some were replaced by new people, and some were promoted to the Golden Core stage.

Others, like Zhao Yu, fell silent and became obscure.

On this day, Zhao Yu's peaceful life was broken, and a former acquaintance came to find him.

"Xiaoyu, there is a female cultivator who calls herself Zhao Ling'er outside the door and wants to see you!"

Liu Wenxuan naturally knew who Zhao Ling'er was, but she was afraid that Zhao Yu would be uncomfortable, so she simply pretended not to know.

After all, in her opinion, Zhao Yu used to be Zhao Ling'er's servant, and the arrival of the other party might remind him of the bad past.

"Zhao Ling'er..."

Zhao Yu touched his chin and smiled: "I'll go take a look!"

"Zhao Yu, long time no see!"

After Zhao Ling'er saw Zhao Yu, her eyes lit up and she said with a hint of melancholy.

Looking at Zhao Ling'er in front of him, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be startled.

The person in front of him was a little different from the Zhao Linger in his memory.

In the past, Zhao Ling'er was full of agility and youthful vitality, with a hint of the arrogance of a young lady.

But now, it seems that he has been hit by life, his face is dull, and even his eyes have become much darker.

"Second Miss, long time no see!" Zhao Yu said with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Ling'er was a little surprised, subconsciously thinking that Zhao Yu was teasing her, but looking at Zhao Yu's eyes, she understood that the other party was just saying it casually.

"Don't call me Second Miss. I have been kicked out of the Zhao family..."

Zhao Ling'er said slightly sadly.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yu remained unmoved. For him, none of this mattered.

In the past ten years, apart from silently paying attention to the movements of Mo Cai'er, he paid no attention to other people's affairs and didn't bother to care.

"Aren't you curious about what I have experienced in these years?" Seeing that Zhao Yu did not ask questions, Zhao Ling'er was not able to follow up, so she took the initiative to ask.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "If you're not interested, just explain your intention directly!"

Zhao Linger was silent. Before coming, she had imagined many possibilities and was prepared to be insulted.

But who would have thought that Zhao Yu's attitude was that he didn't care at all, as if he didn't care at all how she was doing.

"Don't you hate me for expelling you from the Zhao family?" Zhao Ling'er asked hesitantly.

Zhao Yu laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "This is not a big deal, right?"

Zhao Ling'er thought about it, and it seemed that it was the case. If Zhao Yu stayed in the Zhao family, he would only be a servant. How could he be like this now, not only in the late stage of foundation building, but also a seed player, and once won the first place.

"I'm here..."

Zhao Ling'er took a deep breath and continued: "Ten years ago, you suddenly became a seed player, and your cultivation reached the late stage of foundation construction. As far as I know, you were promoted to the foundation stage in only one or two years..."

"I want to know, how did you do it?!"

Her eyes were burning. She had hit too many walls in the past few years. Although she had reached the foundation building stage with the help of Zhao Lingling's foundation building pill, she had made no progress in more than ten years. Not to mention peeking into the golden pill stage, it was difficult to break through even the middle stage of foundation building.

.

Zhao Yu chuckled softly, "Those Ji Bufan were promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage earlier and younger than me, and they were even promoted to the Golden Core Stage at a younger age than you. Why didn't you ask them?"

Zhao Ling'er was speechless, knowing that Zhao Yu would not say it.

Who knew that Zhao Yu actually took the initiative and said: "There is no shortcut in practicing cultivation. Compared with them, all you lack is cultivation resources..."

This is true. Over the years, with the help of his elixirs, even Liu Wenxuan, who was once averagely talented, has entered the late stage of foundation building.

In comparison, Zhao Ling'er used to have pretty good talent, but now she has a mediocre end.

"Zhao Yu..."

Zhao Ling'er naturally knew this. She squirmed her throat and opened her mouth: "I have nowhere to go now, can you take me in?"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled: "You are also a foundation-building monk after all. Even if you have no place to go, isn't there free accommodation in Shushan? At worst, you can live in Jiuliufang..."

Zhao Ling'er's face turned red, but she understood that if she couldn't stay this time, there would be no chance in the future.

After taking another deep breath, she added: "I think you seem to be lacking someone to take care of your daily life. If you are willing, I can..."
