Chapter 15: The Calm Before the Storm
"It worked!"
Zhou Liang took a deep breath and resisted the urge to shout and shout, his face was full of red light, and he was excited for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, he only needed to urge the qi and blood of his whole body, and a cloud of Taoist true qi could emerge in the palm of his hand, that pale cyan aura, completely transparent, looming, if he didn't look carefully, it would not be easy to find.
This is the first wisp of Taoist true qi that Zhou Liang refined.
Zhou Liang never thought that his former dream would be so close to him.
Once the true qi of the Taoist is refined and the foundation building period is broken through, there will be no bottleneck at all.
For Zhou Liang, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the foundation building period.
He only needs to cultivate to the critical point of the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, and then he can achieve success, break through to the foundation building period, and become a respected foundation building real person.
"Looking at the entire outer sect of the Xinyun Sect, there is no disciple who has refined the true qi of Taoism, even if it is Liu Pan and Zhang Jianren, ......"
When Zhou Liang thought of this, he couldn't suppress his excitement and had a hearty sense of achievement.
Being able to refine the true qi of the Taoist in the late stage of qi cultivation represents the peak invincible combat power under the real human realm.
"Ahh It hurts! ”
Zhou Liang was originally immersed in the ecstasy of refining the true qi of the Taoist, but unexpectedly, his eyebrows suddenly trembled, and he actually suffered from severe pain.
This sharp pain came suddenly and violently, as if someone suddenly stabbed Zhou Liang's eyebrows with a dagger, and then stirred vigorously. Suddenly, Zhou Liang fainted in pain.
If someone was next to him at this time, he would be able to see the bronze ancient mirror in his eyebrows, which had not been moved for a long time, actually broke through the center of his eyebrows and floated in mid-air, shining, and at the same time a voice came out faintly: "Niang Xipi, have I been reborn in the Tianjian Yin-Yang Mirror?" It seems that I have failed in the crossing! No, it seems that this kid broke into the Heavenly Tribulation, causing Lao Tzu's Heavenly Tribulation to multiply its power, and finally his soul was scattered! ”
Immediately, a figure slowly appeared in the air, this is the image of an old Taoist priest, with crane hair and a childish face, a wisp of white whiskers on his chest, and an indescribable fairy wind bone.
I saw this man muttering to himself: "Okay, my Yin Yang Dao people should have this catastrophe in their fate, and in the future, I will have to rely on this stinky boy to recover my strength and body!" Seeing that he doesn't have any good magic weapons, I'll give him a tattered mahogany sword that I haven't used for thousands of years! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his hand at the bronze ancient mirror, and suddenly a wooden sword flew out of the mirror and landed beside the bed. This wooden sword is very similar to the wooden sword that Zhou Liang usually uses to practice swords, it is full of pits, as if it has been eaten by insects, and it seems to be a gap left by cutting hard things, no wonder this old Taoist priest said that it was a "tattered peach wood sword".
"It's not enough to have a magic weapon, I have to have extraordinary strength and extraordinary cultivation speed, so that I can also recover my strength and physical body quickly. Although, this "Mirror Technique" that I attached to the back of "Crossing the River with a Reed" made him awaken the Yin-Yang Mirror, this "Mirror Technique" is not complete, and it is only a high-level exercise. And the complete "Mirror Technique" can make people practice yin and yang together, obtain double the true qi, and double the cultivation speed! Since you and I are destined, let's pass it on to you! Hope you're doing it well! ”
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed, and a little spiritual light fell into Zhou Liang's mind, and then his figure gradually dissipated, and the bronze ancient mirror also turned into a point of light and re-submerged into Zhou Liang's eyebrows.
A long time passed, the moon set, the sun rose, and a new day began.
Zhou Liang finally woke up slowly, he rubbed his brows that were a little painful, and began to recall a dream he had last night.
In the dream, a white-bearded old man told him that he was the person in the bronze ancient mirror, which was called the Tianjian Yin-Yang Mirror, and finally gave him a peachwood sword made casually, and passed on his complete "Mirror Technique", which can be a yin and yang practitioner, obtain double the true qi, double the cultivation speed!
Zhou Liang was very tempted by this exercise, but the old man in the dream told him that only when the foundation building was successful, could he start practicing yin and yang, and now he could only refine some more Taoist true qi and strive to build the foundation as soon as possible!
So, Zhou Liang spent most of the day in the room doing penance, and then went out to eat with his parents.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he felt that every breath he breathed could instantly release a terrifying breath and oppress other creatures.
Time passes day by day.
The time of the Heart Cloud List Contest is getting closer and closer.
In the first five days of the Heart Cloud List Competition, in order to motivate the outer disciples to work hard, the sect released a ranking list of inner disciples.
The number one is the best among the inner disciples, and the first day of the sect is Lu Wushuang!
As early as two years ago, Lu Wushuang was promoted to the realm of the real realm during the foundation building period, and was the first of the "four masters" of the inner gate.
This first, there is no suspense, no doubt.
Next, the second Liu Mubai, that is, the inner disciple who previously explained the true qi of Taoism to the outer disciples.
The third place is Chen Xiong, the fourth place is He Chi, and the fifth place is Zhang Fu......
These ones represent the top powerhouses among the inner disciples.
After reading the inner door list, Zhou Liang looked at the outer door list again, and the top ten were Liu Pan, Zhang Jianren, Li Ronger, Zhang Mengfei, Guan Xiaoyu and others.
Zhou Liang watched all the way.
Finally!
In the penultimate position of the list, the forty-ninth position, Zhou Liang saw his name......
"Forty-nine?"
The corners of Zhou Liang's mouth pursed a smile: "This Heart Cloud List Competition, I really look forward to it......
can be included in the top 50 disciples of the outer sect, which is already considered an excellent person in the outer sect.
Seeing that the time of the Heart Cloud List Contest is getting closer and closer.
The outer disciples of the entire "Heart Cloud Sect" were permeated with a strong cultivation atmosphere.
Under this oppressive force, many outer disciples have made breakthroughs and progress......
And this is exactly the effect that the high-level of the Heart Cloud Sect wants.
And the day before the Heart Cloud List Competition, Zhou Liang also broke through the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation in one fell swoop, plus he refined the Taoist True Qi, which can be called a half-step foundation building!
Moreover, he took this peachwood sword given by the person in the ancient mirror, and also learned a swordsmanship that he "stole from" in the Daozang Pavilion. This is a basic introductory sword technique of the Heart Cloud Sect, the level is not high, but it is better to lay the foundation - "Heart Cloud Sword Technique"!
Call!
Zhou Liang practiced the sword again for a few hours today, and finally took a long breath.
Until this time, he had raised all aspects of his body to the extreme of his current level.
"The Heart Cloud List Contest will start tomorrow!"
Zhou Liang took a deep breath, his palm slowly unfolded, and a light cyan aura roared softly, like a sharp wind.
With Taoist true qi, he can instantly kill the late stage of general qi cultivation with a full palm.
With Zhou Liang's current strength, he can even compete head-on with the white-fronted tiger in the mountains and forests of the Demon Domain.
Late that night.
In the courtyard of a certain pavilion of the Heart Cloud Sect.
Boom!
A bleak sword light broke through the sheath and transformed into a stream of cold lines in the void, making the surrounding air cold and piercing.
The owner of the sword light is a silver-clothed young man with long sword eyebrows, and the lethality of the sword moves in his hand has reached a terrifying level.
With a sword he swung at random, it could be compared to Li Feng's Wind Splitting Slash, and he could easily cut off the big tree that the two of them were hugging, and in the late stage of ordinary qi training, he couldn't block a sword at all.
"See, that's good! You have cultivated the top-grade technique "Cold Star Sword Technique" to seventy percent of the fire. Looking at the outer disciples, I am afraid that you are the only one who can cultivate the top-grade exercises to seventy percent of the heat. ”
A middle-aged man, with a smile.
The silver-clothed young man who practiced swords was none other than "Zhang Jianren", who ranked among the top three disciples among the outer disciples.
"The outer disciple ranks first, and it seems that it is about to be transposed. and Zhou Liang's 'jumping clown', I must make him lose face! ”
Zhang Jianren's eyes were as cold as a sword.
Especially when mentioning "Zhou Liang", the sword in his hand instantly slashed out four or five cold sword rays, and with such lethality, even if Zhuji Zhenren came in person, he would be moved.
"Jianren, don't limit your gaze to the outer disciples." The middle-aged man shook his head: "Your real opponent is the inner disciple!" With your current strength, it will definitely be no problem to advance to the inner disciple, and when the time comes, if you can get the ranking, then I will be very pleased! ”
"Yes, Master, I will definitely win glory for you."
Zhang Jianren is full of fighting spirit and full of confidence.
……
Xinyun Sect, another exquisite pavilion, the lights are flickering.
"Rong'er, the Heart Cloud List Competition, it will start tomorrow, you are almost sure that you will win the first place in the outer door."
An old man in a gray robe, smiling.
"Master, rest assured, Rong'er has absolute confidence. Among the outer disciples, no one is my opponent. ”
Li Rong'er's elegant and beautiful face was a little ruddy under the light, and it was suffocatingly beautiful.
"Among the outer disciples, the only one you have to be careful with is 'Zhang Jianren', and Liu Pan, whose characteristic is defense, should not be able to threaten you."
The gray-robed old man analyzed.
"Zhang Jianren? Maybe. ”
Li Rong'er was a little noncommittal.
As a genius, among the outer disciples, there is no one who can enter her eyes.
But for some reason, the figure of a young man standing tall and indifferent came into her mind.
That person, even among the outer disciples, couldn't rank in the top ten......
"Also, after entering the inner gate, when you participate in the inner gate competition, if you meet the number one 'Lu Wushuang', you don't want to be too strong, the other party is indeed second to none among the inner disciples of the Xinyun Sect."
The gray-robed old man reminded.
……
Meanwhile.
In the courtyard of a luxurious and tall pavilion.
"Feifei, Xiaofei, you all have to work hard to perform in this Heart Cloud List Competition. Especially Feifei, your strength has reached the level of Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, and you must strive to win the ranking in the Inner Gate Competition. ”
A masculine and domineering voice sounded.
"Yes! Master! With my current strength, even 'Liu Pan', who ranks first among the outer disciples, is not my opponent. ”
Zhang Mengfei's expression was indifferent and calm.
And Zhuang Fei, who was beside him, gritted his teeth slightly, and said secretly: "Zhou Liang! Now that I have broken through to the late stage of Qi training, and the cultivation of "Sword Mantis Nine Styles" has reached the sixth form, I will definitely not let you have a good time in the Heart Cloud List Competition! ”
The upcoming "Heart Cloud List Competition" will shake the entire Heart Cloud Sect.
Even, some high-level and elder-level figures in the sect are secretly looking forward to it.
On the eve of the competition, countless disciples of the Xinyun Sect were gearing up.
Everyone is waiting for tomorrow, the opportunity for the carp to jump into the dragon gate.
