Chapter 488: Breakthrough
Back at the Liu family, Jiang Ning's action against the Zhao family had reached Liu Gaoyi's ears, and Liu Gaoyi found Jiang Ning as soon as possible and asked about the details.
When he learned that Jiang Ning had abolished Elder Hai's ability, Liu Gaoyi laughed.
"Jiang Ning, well done, this Elder Hai is the third master of the Zhao family, now the Zhao family should be honest. Liu Gaoyi nodded, looked at Jiang Ning with satisfaction and said.
"Patriarch Liu, aren't you afraid that the Zhao family will avenge Elder Hai?" Jiang Ning asked suspiciously.
"Hmph, he dares, his Zhao family used to look at my Liu family's face and act, even if my Liu family's strength is weakened, I am not afraid of facing the Zhao family!" Liu Gaoyi snorted coldly, his face was full of arrogance, but halfway through his words, his face suddenly became solemn, and his brows were furrowed, "It's just ......"
"Just afraid that the Zhao family and Feng Mingtang will join forces?" Jiang Ning asked.
"That's right. Liu Gaoyi nodded, a worried look appeared on his face, and continued: "If the Zhao family and Feng Mingtang join forces, it will be a bit troublesome, the two martial sects, it is really a headache." ”
Looking at Liu Gaoyi's worried look, Jiang Ning really didn't want to speak, but after all, he was not familiar with Lion City, so he finally decided to tell him.
"Patriarch Liu, there is another person here today, they call him Elder Shi, I guess it should be someone from Fengming Hall, right?"
"Elder Shi, why is he here, could it be that the Zhao family and Fengming Hall are already there?" Liu Gaoyi looked at Jiang Ning with a little excitement and asked.
"I should be, but I don't think the alliance between them is strong, and they have their own agendas, so they shouldn't be able to join forces. ”
Jiang Ning then briefly explained the matter of Elder Shi's abandonment of Elder Hai.
"So that's ......" Liu Gaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "But we still can't let our guard down, if you abolish Elder Hai's kung fu, the Zhao family will definitely try their best to take revenge, maybe now the two families have not yet negotiated because of some conditions, but as soon as this Elder Hai is abolished, the Zhao family will definitely make concessions in order to take revenge." ”
Liu Gaoyi is worthy of being the head of the family, and his conjecture is very reasonable, because between families, even if there are the same enemies, there will be conflicts of interests, and any cooperation can only be firm if the interests are aligned.
"However, that Elder Shi was also injured by me, and it should be difficult to recover in a short period of time. Jiang Ning continued.
"What? You said Liu Shi was injured, was the injury serious?" Liu Gaoyi asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't hurt lives. Jiang Ning shook his head slightly, and then asked curiously, "Why is the head of the Liu family so nervous?"
"I ......"
Liu Gaoyi gritted his teeth, and then told Jiang Ning about Elder Shi's identity.
Elder Shi's name is Liu Shi, and he was originally from the Liu family, and he also participated in the rebellion that year, and finally rebelled out of the Liu family together.
"In that case, why is the head of the Liu family nervous?" Jiang Ning was a little puzzled, since he was a traitor to the Liu family, why was Liu Gaoyi so nervous about Elder Shi's injuries.
"Because he saved my life. ”
Liu Gaoyi sighed, it turned out that when there was a rebellion, Liu Gaoyi was originally seriously injured and was hunted down, and he was bound to die, but at a critical time, Liu Shi saved him.
Liu Shi is Liu Gaoyi's cousin, the relationship between the two is very good, originally Liu Shi supported Liu Gaoyi, but because Liu Gaoyi's younger brother saved Liu Shi, so Liu Shi stood on the opposite side of Liu Gaoyi in order to repay his kindness, but seeing that Liu Gaoyi was about to die, he couldn't bear it, so he saved Liu Gaoyi.
Liu Gaoyi persuaded Liu Shi to let him know his way back, but in order to repay his kindness, Liu Shi knew that it was a wrong decision to defect to the Liu family, but in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he finally decided to follow Liu Gaoyi's younger brother to join the Wanshan League and establish Fengmingtang.
In fact, the grievances of the Liu family, the reason why it has dragged on for 20 years, and it has not been resolved, on the one hand, is because the strength of the two sides is not much different.
"I see. Jiang Ning nodded, after 500 years in the Heavenly Dome Continent, Jiang Ning could naturally understand Liu Gaoyi's mood.
"Okay, I won't bother you, you can rest first, if you need anything, just ask. Liu Gaoyi stood up, and after speaking, he turned his head and left.
Now Jiang Ning feels more and more that the situation in the Lion City is far more complicated than he thought, and Feng Mingtang and the Liu family are unwilling to fight to the death with each other, because no matter which side suffers heavy losses, in the end, the other families will benefit, so only when one of them has an overwhelming advantage in strength, can it be better resolved.
"It seems that we can only step up our cultivation. Jiang Ning sighed, then got up and left the room, walking directly towards the Spirit Grass Valley in the back mountain.
The sky gradually darkened, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged in the middle of the Spirit Grass Valley, feeling the rich aura around him, and the clouds were running, and he soon entered a state of selfless cultivation.
The Lingcao Valley at night is extremely beautiful, the fluorescence flickers around Jiangning, the birds and insects linger in the ears, everything seems so peaceful, as if a paradise out of the world.
I don't know how long it took, this calm was suddenly broken, and I saw that the air began to revolve around Jiang Ning intensifying, blowing gusts of violent wind, and I saw Jiang Ning's face solemn, beads of sweat gradually oozing from his forehead, and his whole body was tense.
After a few days of round-the-clock cultivation in the Spirit Grass Valley, Jiang Ning also touched the barrier of breakthrough.
The spiritual sea in Jiang Ning's body is also surging sharply, and the body is constantly absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world, transforming it into spiritual power and storing it in the spiritual sea, with the expansion of the spiritual sea, Jiang Ning's strength has gradually become stronger, and the spiritual power in the body is gradually released, wrapping the entire body until it spreads to a radius of about one meter, as if forming a field, within this field, Jiang Ning can do what he says, as if he is the master.
"Huh, I didn't expect to cultivate in this Spirit Grass Valley, and I would break through to the middle stage of the Imperial Spirit Realm so quickly, it seems that the Spirit Yuan Realm is just around the corner. ”
Jiang Ning sighed, if he didn't have the abundant spiritual energy in the Spirit Grass Valley, I am afraid that if he wanted to break through to the middle stage of the Imperial Spirit Realm, it would take at least several times more time.
Breaking through to the Lingyuan Realm is the real beginning of the way of cultivation, breaking through to the Lingyuan Realm will give birth to the Lingyuan Pill, and with the Lingyuan Pill, you can cultivate your own laws, and when you reach this realm, the spiritual power is only the foundation, and it is no longer so critical.
After that, Jiang Ning continued to operate the Xiaoyun Technique, breaking through to the middle stage of the Imperial Spirit Realm, and needed to consolidate his strength, after all, after the expansion of the Spirit Sea, there would be a period of instability after the scale of the Spirit Sea, and if it was not used properly, it might cause harm to himself, and even leave sequelae.
During this period of time, Jiang Ning also took out the Li family's incomplete exercises to study, and he found that although this incomplete exercise can perceive the aura of heaven and earth, and transform and absorb it for his own use, the transformed spiritual power is not so pure, and there is still a certain gap with the exercises of the Heavenly Dome Continent.
After thoroughly studying this incomplete exercise, Jiang Ning revised it according to what he thought before, so that the side effects of Li Hongguo's cultivation of this exercise were minimized, but the spiritual power that this exercise could produce was too little, and Jiang Ning also slightly modified the first half of the exercise, otherwise the effect of cultivating this exercise was too poor, and I am afraid that Li Hongguo would feel that he had been deceived.
After doing all this, Jiang Ning left the Spirit Grass Valley satisfied, in the middle of the Imperial Spirit Realm, he was already confident that he could defeat all the people below the Martial Sect, and after casting the Nine Seals of Tianxuan, he might be able to fight a draw with the Martial Sect, but if he wanted to defeat the Martial Sect, he might need to cultivate for a while.
It was already late at night when she returned to Liu's house, and Jiang Ning was afraid that Liu Hanyan had already fallen asleep, so she didn't bother her, so she went back to her room to rest.
But it didn't take long for someone to knock on the door outside, Jiang Ning immediately ran to open the door happily, he thought it was Liu Hanyan who came so late, but he didn't expect that it was Liu Yilu standing at the door, and she was holding a bowl of soup in her hand.
"Miss Liu, you haven't rested so late, I don't know what you're doing?" Jiang Ning looked at her, very puzzled.
"Mr. Jiang, didn't you rest either. ”
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and Liu Yilu's body fragrance invaded Jiang Ning's face with the breeze.
"Doesn't Mr. Jiang welcome me? Let me stand at the door with a girl and invite people in to sit down?" Liu Yilu smiled lightly, ** delicate laughter sounded in his ears, making his heart tremble slightly.
Liu Yilu has a plump figure, under the slender jade neck, a crisp chest like clotted white jade, half-covered and half-hidden, her big eyes are smiling and pretty, the water covers the ground and the fog is rippling, the small corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and the red lips are slightly open, wanting to attract people to Fengze.
"Please come in. ”
Jiang Ning was a little distracted, but he quickly reacted, and invited Liu Yilu in as he spoke.
Liu Yilu, like Li Hong, is a woman who exudes charm in her bones, she holds the plate in her hand, twists her slender willow waist like a water snake, and seems to be seducing men all the time and pulling men's nerves.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your help yesterday, I was ignorant and had a bad attitude before, I apologize to you, I hope you don't be surprised. ”
Liu Yilu looked at Jiang Ning sincerely, bowed deeply to Jiang Ning as she spoke, and in an instant, the touch of clotted white jade on her chest was exposed in front of her, and her eyes were deeply immersed in the deep chasm.
She straightened up, and after seeing Jiang Ning's eyes, she didn't say anything, but covered her mouth and chuckled, and threw a wink at Jiang Ning.
"Mr. Jiang, you have worked hard during this time, I specially boiled chicken soup for you to replenish your body, you can taste it. ”
Then Liu Yilu brought the chicken soup to Jiang Ning, blinking her big watery eyes, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Okay, put it down, I'll do it myself. ”
Jiang Ning nodded, his eyes went downstream again unconsciously, such an attractive scenery, no matter which man wanted to take a second look, but Jiang Ning still held back, he quickly raised his head and didn't look at her at all.
"Hehe......" Liu Yilu chuckled, looked at Jiang Ning with a pair of charming eyes, and then put the chicken soup on the table.
"Okay, you go first, I'll drink it later, it's not good for people to see it so late." ”
After Jiang Ning saw Liu Yilu put down the chicken soup, not only did he not mean to leave, but sat on the chair next to him, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows were in a room, if they were seen, they really couldn't tell what they wanted.
