Chapter 14 Selection
"Just the two of you, Xingtian, although you are making faster progress now, you are only at the top of the Habitat Realm now, and those who participated in this competition are all the best in the Soul Realm, and Chengli has only reached the middle level of the Soul Realm, so there is no chance of winning at all," one of the deacons shook his head and said,
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart, why are the commanders in other cities so high, but most of the commanders in our Xiuning City are in the habitat, and only Chengli is the soul realm, this gap is too big, right?
It seemed that seeing Li Xingtian frowning and pondering, the master said, "Our Xiuning City is the first city to face the fierce beasts in the barren mountains, and many leaders die at the hands of the fierce beasts every year, although other cities have helped, our mortality rate is still too high. Hey"
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder some of the familiar commanders before have disappeared inexplicably, and the explanations given to us before were transferred to other cities, and they were all gone forever, why are we so bitter,
"In the past, our Xiuning City was also located in the middle of Barren Mountain County, but a fierce beast tide a hundred years ago caused us to destroy seven cities in Barren Mountain County, and now there are only nine of them left," the Lord Ji continued to explain.
At this time, there was also a faint sadness spreading among everyone, and everyone, including the current Li Xingtian, also knew that if there was another similar beast tide, Xiuning City would definitely be the first to be destroyed.
When he learned that this Jiufu Grand Contest would be held two months later, Li Xingtian didn't mention it again, and now it is more important to improve his strength.
After a while, the meeting of the people ended, and Li Xingtian followed the master to the foot of a five-story attic, "You take this token, after you enter, you will be allowed to enter the first three floors to choose the sword trick, don't go to the fourth floor, otherwise you will break your muscles and bones at the lightest," the master asked and dropped a yellow token engraved with the word Yan and left,
Is there such a danger in this? Why is there no one guarding here? I have observed the outside of this attic with Chengli for a while, and I haven't found anything abnormal, I just know that this is a place where there are many secrets,
Anyway, he won't break in, so what danger can he have, shook his head and pushed open the door and walked in,
With a squeak, the heavy door panel was pushed open, and rows of bookshelves came into view, and in front of each bookshelf there was a layer of pale cyan aura cover to protect it, and the books in it were spotless.
Walked to the bookshelf marked with sword tricks and took out the yellow token and swiped it on the aura cover, and suddenly the aura cover overflowed in all directions, revealing hundreds of sword tricks inside, but as Li Xingtian checked them one by one, they all vetoed, these sword tricks were really too low, there was only one seven-grade lower-level sword trick, and Li Xingtian, who was quite disappointed on the first floor, quickly walked to the second floor,
When entering the second floor through the stairs, he seemed to find that a spiritual sense swept over the token in his hand, but he couldn't be sure, so he could only take this discovery as a protection mechanism in the Scripture Pavilion.
The second floor seems to be a little less than the bookshelf on the first floor, but the difference is not much, when I found the position of the sword trick again, I continued to use the token to draw, and I quickly flipped through it, but I only found the basic seven-grade intermediate sword trick, and there was nothing special about it, and then I walked quickly to the third floor, if the third floor still doesn't have a sword trick that satisfies me, then I can only choose a random one to carry out the first one.
After walking to the third floor, he felt a spiritual sense sweeping over again, someone must be watching! Li Xingtian affirmed this conjecture in his heart, but he was not afraid or afraid, he would not do anything to himself according to the rules,
What is this? Li Xingtian, who was walking towards the sword bookshelf, was suddenly attracted by a bookshelf where sundries were placed, and generally there would be some ores and precious items on the sundries bookshelf, but there was a dead grass placed on this sundries bookshelf, that is, this dead grass attracted Li Xingtian's attention, not so much his own sword qi drove him to look at this dead grass,
Walked to this bookshelf and broke the aura cover, and after picking up this dead grass, his finger was suddenly cut a hole, and he immediately dropped it after suffering pain, and after sealing the wound with aura, the eyes looking at this dead grass became different, what is this, so sharp?
Since cultivating the "Three Xi Refining Body Decision", the toughness of his skin is no less than that of the soul realm beast known for its defensive power, but he didn't expect to be cut by a dead grass.
After covering the aura wall on his hand, he picked up this withered grass again, and after a long time, he quickly found out that it was different, and he couldn't crush this withered grass no matter how hard he tried, which was really strange, but Li Xingtian didn't try it with other means, so as not to cause damage to other items, and it was estimated that the people who were secretly guarding would come out to teach themselves,
Just as he was about to put this withered grass on the shelf, his own sword qi suddenly appeared uncontrollably on the palm of his hand, and the pale golden sword qi wrapped the withered grass, and a cyan sword qi peeled off from the withered grass and quickly merged into his pale golden sword qi!
Li Xingtian, who was in doubt, was stunned on the spot, and quickly withdrew the uncontrolled sword qi on his palm, only to find that there was an extra cyan aura in the aura in his body, and his own sword aura was still wrapped in his body, but that cyan aura was slowly being devoured by his own sword qi, and his pale golden sword qi was slowly increasing.
And this good thing? After seeing this situation, I was surprised and delighted, could it be that this cyan aura is also sword qi? My sword qi can devour other sword qi? A series of thoughts popped up in my mind, but it seems that this is the result, what kind of sword qi is this sword qi of mine, how can it be so powerful, don't be happy after feeling the improvement of strength,
But the withered grass in his hand immediately decayed and slid down Li Xingtian's palm, this, how to explain this? A trace of cold sweat broke out on his head, and then he shouted to the dark place in the attic, "The junior just feels curious, pick it up and take a look, there is no malice, and I hope the seniors will understand" Maintaining the posture of compilation, he only raised his head after half an hour of knowing it, huh, fortunately, the seniors didn't trouble me,
Turned his head and walked to the sword bookshelf on the third floor, and casually selected a copy of the main attack of the seven-rank "Qingfeng Sword" and quickly walked downstairs, but when he looked at the bookshelves of the sundries stored on the second and first floors, he didn't find anything that made his sword qi sense, and he didn't walk out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with regret, after all, this kind of thing can be a great creation, and he can't be greedy,
After walking quickly to the location of the main house, he returned the token, and was told that the borrowing time of the sword technique was only a month, and he left the Yan Mansion.
After passing through the bustling downtown area, after a quarter of an hour, I finally walked to my place of residence, only to see a slightly dilapidated thatched hut located at the foot of the mountain behind Li Xingtian's daily practice.
Although the thatched house is dilapidated, it can shelter Li Xingtian from the wind and rain, when Li Xingtian came out to beg for food in a winter when he was six years old, if it were not for this uninhabited thatched house, it is estimated that Li Xingtian would not be alive and well now, and later this thatched house was renovated many times, and it still looked dilapidated.
Walked into the room that had not been cleaned for two months, the floor was full of dust, put down the killing sword that he had been carrying, and began to clean, and soon the house became tidy, only a bed, a chair, a table and a stove There was no other decent furniture in the house, but compared to some other orphans who starved to death in the winter, Li Xingtian is also very good now,
After taking out a piece of cool jade, he half-covered the door, and sat on the bed to meditate and cultivate.
