Chapter 8 Revisiting the Immortal Cave
For several days, he kept drinking spiritual springs, absorbing spiritual energy, and releasing water to vent floods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After five days, Zishang steadily maintained the fivefold limit of the Body Refining Realm.
Although he still failed to break through the Sixfold Realm, there are still a few days left in the martial arts exchange meeting, and as long as Zishang works hard, it will not be a problem to break through in time.
There are only eight or nine children of this generation who have reached the sixfold realm or more, and as long as they enter the sixfold realm, the children are confident that they can occupy a place in the "six stars".
Zishang's father, Ziyun, also came to Zishang, gave him some encouragement, told him not to be nervous, and personally gave him sprint guidance. Now Zishang's "Wind Willow Sword Technique" has reached the peak of popularity.
Every day, Zishang leisurely practiced swords in the small courtyard, but often practiced for seven or eight hours.
The mentality is relaxed, and the sword dance is also very elegant, immersed in the "Wind Willow Swordsmanship" for a long time, and unconsciously the swordsmanship has improved a little.
"Great, the Wind Willow Sword Technique has improved again, and it is close to the peak of the fire! Maybe it can be ranked a little higher in the six-star battle. Hahahaha...... "I got up to practice swordsmanship on the fifth watch, and after practicing for three hours, I took a little rest and felt the results of the morning, and Zishang was in a good mood for a while."
"Brother Zishang!"
A nightingale-like voice sounded from outside the door, and Murong Zhixi jumped into the small courtyard.
"Brother Zishang, the martial arts exchange meeting is about to start, let's have two tricks!
Zishang turned around and said with a smile, "Where am I your opponent, I guess, you have already broken through the Sixfold Realm of Body Refining, right?"
Murong Zhixi was surprised: "How do you know? I only broke through last night." ”
"......" Zishang couldn't help wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, and sneered: "No, what's that...... I'm just saying, I guessed it right. Hehe......"
Then he muttered: "But your talent is already higher than mine, and with the assistance of Lingquan, it is reasonable to break through." ”
Murong Zhixi smiled "hehe", then took Zishang's hand and said, "Then let's have a fight, you should accompany me to practice your hands!"
"Okay, I also want to see how much I've improved. However, you still have to let me!" Zishang finished speaking, lifting the soft sword and distancing himself from Murong Zhixi.
Murong Zhixi looked at him with a smile, obviously asking him to strike first.
Zishang is not hypocritical, he knows that he is not Murong Zhixi's opponent, he must strike first and take the initiative. He rushed over with his sword, and the soft sword was like a snake out of a hole, and like a wicker fluttering in the wind.
"Fufeng Three Styles"
Murong Zhixi swung his sword to defend, relying on his high realm and high swordsmanship, he took defense as an attack, but in more than ten rounds, he broke Zishang's sword move.
Seeing that his sword moves were broken, Zishang no longer continued to attack, flew back, his sword moves changed, the soft sword was waved into the wind, and the surrounding air flow was changed by him, and for a while it seemed like a strong wind and willow branches danced, a messy scene.
"Weak willow to help the wind"
When Zishang used this move, Murong Zhixi also danced the thin sword elegantly, his body was agile, his steps changed, and his sword swing speed was faster than that of Zishang, like a colorful butterfly flying among thousands of flowers.
"Butterfly Sword Dance"
The two had already exchanged twenty moves in a staggered manner, and the sound of metal from the collision of weapons was endless. In the end, the factor quotient realm was low, and her staying power and explosiveness were not as good as Murong Zhixi's, so she picked up the soft sword.
"Haha! yes, I won!" Murong Zhixi said happily.
Zishang sighed and said with a wry smile: "You are one realm higher than me, and your strength in talent and understanding is not as good as yours, so it is not unexpected to lose." ”
Murong Zhixi picked up Zishang's soft sword and said, "But you are also very powerful, I used seventy percent of my strength to defeat you just now." ”
Zishang smiled bitterly: "Hehe, with your talent and swordsmanship level, my current real combat power is probably comparable to the peak of the Sixfold Realm of Body Refining, and seventy percent of my strength can defeat the middle stage of the ordinary Sixfold Realm, and my talent is average, at most the strength of the early stage of the Sixfold Realm, I estimate that you only use fifty percent of your strength." ”
Then he said nonchalantly: "But after I break through the sixfold realm, it will be enough to rush into the top six, so I can be regarded as one of the six stars worthy of the name!"
At this time, Murong Zhixi's face sank, and he frowned: "If it was before, it must be." But now ......"
"Huh?" Zishang's right eyelid jumped, and he asked suspiciously, "Now, what's going on now?"
Murong Zhixi glanced at him strangely and said, "I don't know what's going on recently, many people in our generation have made great progress. So far, eight people have quickly broken through the Fivefold Realm of Body Refining, and two more have strongly impacted the Sixfold Realm of Body Refining!"
She patted her forehead and said helplessly: "The most strange thing is that the most powerful of those people is Zheng Zhuangzhuang's goods, who rushed from the peak of the Quadruple Realm to the late stage of the Sixfold Realm of Body Refining in one fell swoop!"
Zishang's pupils shrank, his brows furrowed deeply, and he wondered, "How can this be?...... What kind of panacea has the pharmacy been producing in the past few days?"
Murong Zhixi pouted, shook his head, and said, "According to the appraisal of several clan elders, what kind of 'late bloomer' are they?"
"I seem to have read it in a book, as if it said that a certain martial artist was very mediocre at first, and then suddenly he had an amazing talent because of some kind of stimulus. Zishang Wan groaned:
The author of that book also gave the guess that everyone has a huge potential talent, and that some people's talents are hidden very shallowly and more obviously, so that geniuses are produced, and some people's potential talents are hidden deeper, and it may take a long time to dig out, or even be unable to develop them for a lifetime, and they will be reduced to mortals. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zishang still couldn't think of any reasonable reason, and said strangely: "Don't they all say that it is rare to be a late bloomer?
"Alas, who knows, but now the adults in the village are quite happy, saying that there are so many late-blooming geniuses in our generation, and the revitalization of Dashang is expected to be something......" Murong Zhixi muttered a little disdainfully.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said, "Oh, that's right! Those people seem to have gone to the fairy cave with us more than half a year ago, isn't it ......." ”
Murong Zhixi looked at Zishang, who was still frowning, made a contemplative gesture, paused, and said, "It's possible...... But why did it take more than half a year for such an astonishing change to happen?"
"Then how do you explain that these ten or so people have been to the Immortal Cave for half a year? Don't tell me it's a coincidence, I don't believe it!" Murong Zhixi argued.
Immediately, Murong Zhixi snorted coldly: "Hmph! Zhuang Zhuang really took a shit luck, and he actually got the opportunity of the legend." However, with his piece of meat, it is definitely impossible to surpass me! Brother Zishang, we all have to work hard! Especially you, don't lose to him at the martial arts exchange meeting!
"Hmm......" Zishang nodded absentmindedly.
In this way, the two of them also hastily settled their lunch, and they were practicing all afternoon, because of the rapid progress of Zhuang Zhuang and others, Zishang could no longer relax, and practiced his swordsmanship hard, but it was still unrealistic to reach the peak of the sixfold realm in just a few days.
Two days later, on the evening, Zishang officially stepped out of the sixfold realm of refining the body, although against Zheng Zhuangzhuang, he still has a slim chance of winning, but at least he will not be abused too badly, at most, he will not be able to enter the top six, and give up the position of "six stars".
However, the night before the celebration and the martial arts exchange began, Zishang came to the fairy cave again and alone.
Maybe it's unwilling......
In addition, he carried a small bag containing tools such as hammers, chisels, shovels, candlesticks, etc.
If there was no chance, he would have demolished the fairy cave......
Zishang didn't pause, put down the toolkit, and was busy for nearly two hours, digging a pit with a diameter of three feet and a depth of two zhang next to the so-called "immortal stone statue".
At this time, he was already tired and out of breath, and the cow drank a few sips of the clean spiritual spring and continued to work.
Until the fifth watch, he chiseled through a stone wall, revealing the dark river of the cave with a large space inside!
The size of the cave is similar to that of the tunnel dug by the sub-merchants, but it is more rugged.
There is a shallow stream in the cave, and the spring water full of spiritual energy flows slowly. The spiritual spring that Zishang usually takes is only the dark river spring water that flows out of the rock crevices.
Zishang took the candlestick, and drilled more than ten zhang away in the direction of the water from the dark river, and suddenly heard the "whoosh" sound of slapping the spring water, and looked closely, it was actually a fish half the size of a palm!
He did not hesitate to take his sword and stab the small fish, although the cave is not big, some of them cannot be used, but the spearfish is not very difficult.
Although the small fish was pierced through its back and stomach by the soft sword of the quilt merchant, it was writhing its body in an attempt to escape.
Looking at the struggling fish, Zishang couldn't help but have an idea, "This fish lives in the spiritual spring all year round, so I'm afraid there is a lot of spiritual energy enriched in its body, otherwise it wouldn't have such tenacious vitality!"
So Zishang took the fish off the sword, held it in his hand, and gnawed it raw, chewing and swallowing it along with the scales.
"Hmph! It's really a good thing!" Zishang's eyes lit up after eating two mouthfuls of fish, this fish is not only fresh and fatty, but also full of aura, this small fish is almost worth twenty catties of spiritual spring.
Just when Zishang was about to finish nibbling a fish, suddenly a big black shadow shot out, and Zishang hurriedly swung his sword to resist in fright.
It turned out to be a water snake, the water snake was only two inches thick and more than five feet long, and the merchant solved it by dividing it by dividing it by two.
However, just as he was holding the candlestick and bending down to pick up the corpse of the water snake, there was a movement a few feet away, and dozens of slender figures were vaguely seen. There is no need to guess, Zishang is estimated to have stabbed the snake's nest this time.
He didn't dare to stay, squatted and turned around, used his hands and feet together, and crawled out of the tunnel he dug with a rolling belt.
While drilling, the merchant picked up the surrounding dirt and gravel. When he rushed out of the fairy cave, he quickly took out the soft sword and swept it behind him, and a water snake was picked out, followed by at least thirty snakes of similar size......
