Chapter 20: Penance

"What does he mean?" Bai Nan asked Xiang Anran.

"Who knows what he means, don't listen to his nonsense. An Ran replied, but her expression was a little unnatural. Enron is not very good at lying, and every time he lies, he has such an expression.

Bai Nan didn't continue to ask, everyone has their own secrets, and he waited for An Ran to take the initiative to tell him one day.

An Qianshan in the stands walked over, patted his palm on Bai Nan's shoulder, and said, "Yes, good performance, where did you get that body martial art, I think it is much higher than the two grades of the martial arts pavilion." ”

Bai Nan was a little hesitant, he didn't know if he could talk about the matter of the Seventh Elder.

Seeing Bai Nan's expression, An Qianshan smiled: "It's okay if it's inconvenient to say, our Qingyunmen is not so strict, which disciple doesn't have a little secret of his own." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at An Ran and said, "Your Senior Sister Han has broken through to the micro realm, and from tomorrow onwards, you will also retreat and impact the micro realm, and you will not be allowed to come out if you don't break through." ”

"Dad~" An Ran glanced at An Qianshan dissatisfied, and then looked at Bai Nan with a pleading gaze.

Bai Nan said with a smile: "Senior sister, you should retreat and cultivate, this opportunity is rare, you strive to break through to the subtle realm as soon as possible, and behave well in front of the people of the Jade Girl Valley, don't let people see our jokes." And I also have to cultivate well, and strive to catch up with you as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. Then listen to the elder brother. An Ran smiled sweetly, didn't what An Qianshan said just now mean the same thing as what Bai Nan said, but the reaction she gave was obviously different.

An Qianshan sighed and said, "Alas, the female university is not staying. ”

......

The Great Elder's residence was in a courtyard behind Qingyun Gate.

It is the season of flowers, and the yard is full of all kinds of flowers and plants.

Ding Heng was just on the way back when he was called over.

"This is a second-grade realm breaking pill, you take it, and strive to break through to the micro realm as soon as possible. The Great Elder threw a jade bottle to Ding Heng.

Ding Heng took the jade plate, did not push back, and directly put it in the storage bag.

"Do you complain about today's incident?" the Great Elder sighed.

"I don't complain, I just don't understand. Ding Heng confessed that he had always spoken straightforwardly, but he was somewhat similar to the temper of the three elders.

"I can't tell you the reason now, but you have to believe that all this is for the good of the sect, and the head of the sect has no selfish intentions. It's okay if you have an opinion in your heart, but don't be jealous of the boss. The Great Elder said, "Your last knife today was good, and no one could see the flaws." This shows that your spiritual power control has also touched the edge of the subtle realm, and the breakthrough should be a matter of the past few days. ”

It turned out that Ding Heng stood up to challenge Bai Nan today, which was originally arranged, and Fang Minghe just gave him a chance. The reason why they did this was to make Bai Nan, the chief disciple, more stable. Ding Heng's final eighteen consecutive slashes of the wind could also be controlled, and the last knife released the water, which allowed Bai Nan to win.

"Yes, the master has nothing to do, so the disciple will go back first. "Ding Hengdao, he really has no complaints about today's matter, he only cares about the progress of martial arts, and if he is not the chief disciple, it will have no impact on him. Moreover, the strength that Bai Nan showed today, although it is deficient compared to him, is much better than in the past, and he still recognizes this senior brother.

The Great Elder stood in the middle of the courtyard, knowing that he saw Ding Heng's back disappear, so he sighed: "I hope what the head of the family said is true." ”

......

Over the next few days.

Bai Nan has been cultivating in the ancestral hall, and the pills obtained from the assessment have also been consumed. However, he still did not break through to the ninth layer of qi refining.

The system's tinkling and tinkling prompts were incessant, and he already felt a little nervous. At first, he was still excited, but after a long time, it became boring. The most hateful thing is that there is no way to close it yet.

In order to change his mood, Bai Nan began to spare some time to practice the Mountain Opening Palm and Thousand Shadows, but after these two martial arts entered the Dengtang Indoor Realm, the speed of refinement also began to slow down.

"It can't go on like this. On the fourth day of the retreat, Bai Nan stood up from the formation and muttered to himself.

"Now it seems that even with the blessing of the system, it is not very possible to break through to the ninth layer of qi refining before the operation on Ash Island. The previous cultivation realm had improved so quickly, and there were many special factors that made me get carried away for a while. It seems that the best way to improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time is to improve the realm of martial arts through actual combat. Bai Nan sighed.

The ninth layer of qi refining is the last realm of the qi refining realm, if you want to break through to the ninth layer of qi refining, according to Bai Nan's current speed, it will take at least two months, these two months, in the eyes of others, are already very fast, but for Bai Nan, this speed is still too slow.

The operation of Ash Island, the super force selection competition, the formation map of Forget Worry Mountain, and the repair of the Bailing Evil Suppression Formation here in the ancestral hall are all very important, and these are like a mountain, pressing on his head, making him a little breathless.

Bai Nan suddenly found that since he had more systems, he suddenly had more things to do, and more troubles followed, which may be the so-called greater ability, greater responsibility.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door outside the ancestral hall.

When he opened the door, he saw the Seventh Elder standing outside, dressed in black clothes, which made his skin as white as snow even whiter.

"Seven Elders. Bai Nan bowed, he had been cultivating here for four days, but he had never seen the Seventh Elder show up, so he didn't know how to find him today.

"Hmm. ”

The Seventh Elder looked at Bai Nan and saw that although he had not broken through, his cultivation had improved a little, so he nodded with satisfaction, "You have talent, and you can endure loneliness and work hard to cultivate, which is very rare." ”

There are not a few talented people on the Kyushu continent, but most of them indulge and slack off after knowing that they are amazingly talented, and finally become mediocre.

"Disciple, doesn't you still owe you a request from the Seventh Elder, of course, you must work hard to cultivate and strive to be able to obtain qualifications as soon as possible. Bai Nan said with a smile, the last contact made him realize that the Seventh Elder in front of him was actually a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he dared to say this.

"I see that you will still be cultivating the Mountain Palm and Thousand Shadows in the next few days, I should want to improve your martial arts now, and go further. However, if you practice hard alone, your progress is very slow, and what you need is actual combat. The Seventh Elder said.

She ignored Bai Nan's teasing, and instead pointed out his cultivation problems.

Bai Nan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Could it be that the Seventh Elder wants to fight with me in person? That's really an honor." ”

"Fight with me?" The Seventh Elder said with a slight smile, "Fight with me, and you won't have a chance to improve at all." ”

Bai Nan's face was embarrassed, he understood the meaning of the Seventh Elder's words. A cultivator like the Seventh Elder, fighting with him, a rookie, Bai Nan couldn't break the defense at all, and he couldn't resist the attack, to put it bluntly, it was a unilateral abuse, and it had no effect at all.

"What do the Seven Elders mean?" Bai Nan asked curiously.

"You need someone about your strength to fight. The Seventh Elder said.

Bai Nan thought for a moment and frowned. Since the end of the assessment, the top ten disciples have been in retreat and cultivating, and no one has had time to fight with him.

If he fights with a weak disciple, it will only waste his time.

"This disciple has also thought about it, but there is no suitable candidate, and everyone is in retreat and cultivation. Bai Nan said with a headache.

When the Seventh Elder heard this, he said, "How can there be no one, Ruojun comes in." ”
