Chapter 20: It's Back
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Refining a flying sword is much more difficult than simply refining ore, it took Zhang Ning a day to purify the ore, and Liu Li has been carefully guiding by his side.
Zhang Ning asked him to go back several times, but he was politely refused.
The other two refiners left one after another.
When there were only two people left, Zhang Ning and Liu Li, Liu Li suddenly began to have a long talk with Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning had to stop what he was doing to listen to him, and kept asking himself in his heart, is this still Senior Brother Liu, who pretended to be cold before? When did we become best friends?
Liu Li was squeezed by Director Wu, had no time to cultivate, and entered the realm slowly, hoping that Zhang Ning could be promoted as soon as possible, and it was best to replace him as the head of the position, so that Director Wu would suffer a little. And "inadvertently" revealed a piece of news to Zhang Ning: his cultivation speed attracted the attention of the top leaders of the sect, and they intended to promote him exceptionally. That Director Wu is only at the middle level of the third level of qi refining, and his position has a lot of oil and water, and he doesn't want to be robbed of the fat difference by a young boy who has just started. So on the surface, he cultivated him personally, but in fact, he taught him a slightly pit refining method - the ore quality is the best after refining, but it is the most aura-intensive. Its purpose was to make Zhang Ning spend a lot of time and aura refining ore, hindering his cultivation.
Zhang Ning was annoyed in his heart, no wonder he was so inefficient in refining ores, he actually recruited others.
But it's not good for him to go to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and Director Wu doesn't have a handle to catch, because the ore refined by this method is indeed purer, and now that he has reached the refining stage, he realizes that the purity of the ore refined at the primary level is high, and the subsequent refining is faster.
Therefore, Director Wu can completely say that teaching this method is to let Zhang Ning lay a good foundation, and he can even justify his own merits.
But in front of Liu Li, Zhang Ning still didn't make a clear statement, just listened, or made a little sound with "um" and "oh", indicating that he heard it.
Liu Li saw that Zhang Ning didn't put on the set, and he didn't seem disappointed, and continued to click on Zhang Ning's refining skills before leaving the leyline slowly.
As soon as Liu Li left, Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
What is the situation? Why did he get involved in the power struggle inexplicably? In the past, Director Wu was jealous and could suppress himself and prevent himself from improving too quickly, and at that time, Liu Li was acting on the same front as Director Wu. And when he broke through the shackles and reached the third layer of qi refining, he had the possibility of arguing with Director Wu, and Director Wu's attitude suddenly became friendly, and Liu Li also came to woo him. According to his observations, Liu Li and the two disciples of the Refining Hall who had just cultivated here were both at the beginning of the third layer of Qi refining, and those two people were not very respectful to Liu Li, they should be in a competitive relationship, and his own Qi Refining Beginner was the same as the three of them, as long as he advanced to the middle stage of the third layer, he would have the possibility of replacing Master Wu. Liu Li wanted to use Zhang Ning as a gunman.
Zhang Ning pouted, although it was only a position of the head of the outer door, it was really enough to toss.
He's not interested in these power games that fight for petty positions.
It seems that the clumsy strategy of those great gods in the early stage of the Xiuzhen literature is the royal way, and they make a fortune in silence, this is the truth summed up by many predecessors! I am still too young!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ning decided to play according to the strategy and improve his cultivation first. If his cultivation is high, those things that fight for power and profit will not find him, and then he will refine the weapon to earn spars! The idea has been decided, he no longer has the heart to continue refining the flying sword, so he packed up the materials for refining the flying sword and returned to his bamboo house.
Zhang Ning had no distractions and began to cultivate hard. The main purpose of the third level of exercises is to temper the meridians, and will no longer absorb a large amount of spiritual energy as before, but use the limited spiritual energy absorbed to further forge the meridians.
A few days later, Zhang Ning finally realized the problem of meridian endurance that Director Wu said.
In the online cultivation literature, this situation is often recorded, and if the protagonist reaches the limit of the meridian endurance when cultivating, he will feel the meridian tingling.
Zhang Ning's state at the limit of his meridians was slightly different, and his feeling was that if he continued to forcibly operate the exercises after reaching the limit, his meridian network would collapse. After several attempts, he found that the solution was to rest for four hours and then continue cultivating, which was shorter than the six hours mentioned in the jade slip, perhaps this was another manifestation of the difference in physique between himself and the indigenous cultivators.
Since Zhang Ning was very poor now and had a delicate relationship with Wu, he could not continue to pay the spar on credit to buy Tongjin San.
He began to unrealistically hope that Mitch would bring back some fairy grass.
And just like that, I waited for a few days.
That night, Zhang Ning poured a glass of Bizhu and was drunk on savoring it - there was nothing to do in the four hours of meridian cultivation, he was afraid that Liu Li would be entangled, and he didn't want to refine the flying sword for the time being, so he used this time to really take a break, such as tasting food and wine, and studying the ancient daily necessities purchased by the snail shell.
was smacking the fourth glass of wine, and suddenly heard a movement in the window, Zhang Ning rushed to the window in three steps, pushed open the window, and saw a soft flesh-colored creature hanging on the window lattice.
Zhang Ning almost didn't recognize it, it turned out to be the naked snail!
The snail trembled for a moment, and then stopped moving, Zhang Ning picked up the snail and found that there were several thin wounds on its body, which were oozing transparent viscous liquid.
This guy is injured!
Zhang Ning brought the snail into the house and put it on the dining table, pondering how to treat it.
The snail trembled and began to move, moving about five centimeters, stopped, rested for a while, and began to move again.
Zhang Ning didn't know what it was going to do, so he had to watch quietly.
After squirming for half an hour, it finally came to the glass, which dipped into the wine with its tentacle-like stuff, and the turquoise liquid diminished at a visible rate until it was completely drained.
Zhang Ning thought, could it be that he has been drinking a lot of alcohol recently, and the aroma of wine has brought it back?
After drinking wine, the snail looked much better, and the color began to become pink, and Zhang Ning suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and the snail was gone.
He was busy checking the snail shell hanging from his neck, but no.
Zhang Ning didn't give up, held the snail shell and probed into his divine sense, and suddenly found that the snail had entered the space as a living thing!
The snail is sleeping in a corner of the space. At the same time, Zhang Ning felt that he had a clearer perception of spatial objects, and his hand could communicate with the space after releasing the snail shell.
It turns out that the snail is the machine spirit of the snail shell, a space treasure.
Although I didn't wait for Mickey, I was very happy to wait for the machine spirit!
Zhang Ning saw that the time was almost up, and Fu began to meditate and practice again.
Before, he was able to cultivate while sleeping, because at that time, his cultivation only needed to absorb the aura and the laws of the operation of the aura, but the three-layer forging meridians of qi refining required the guidance and regulation of the mind.
Zhang Ning practiced for a few more days, and the date of delivering the sect's task was approaching, so he had no choice but to come to the leylines and start refining the flying sword.
As he had fused all the ore into an alloy step by step, he suddenly felt the soap in the snail's shell glow a soft yellow glow of its own!
