Chapter 14 Stepping into the Later Stages and Setting Out for the Ruins
"Giggles"
The rooster cries at dawn, the sky is bright, and the town resumes the noise of the day again, because of the ruins, there are more and more warriors gathered in the town, without him, many people want to try their luck in the ruins and get some benefits.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoqi, who had the door closed in the inn, was sitting silently, and this appearance had lasted for a whole day, after refining the collected herbs into antidote pills and sending them to the fat man, Jiang Xiaoqi had been closing the door tightly, never taking half a step, and not dripping water.
From what he had seen and heard in the past few days, Jiang Xiaoqi felt an invisible pressure, that kind of pressure came more from the Holy Land of the Four Great Sects, compared to them, except for the majestic spiritual power brought by the origin fragments, he did not have any advantages in other aspects, especially the realm, his strength in the middle of the Yangxi Realm looked extremely pale under their cultivation of the Four Full Realms.
And his own trip is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth, whether it is the eye-catching spiritual source, or the inheritance opportunity left by the ancient tomb owner, it is the goal of this trip, but only relying on the strength of his own Yangxi Realm in the middle stage, if he wants to seize the benefits in their hands, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
For this reason, Jiang Xiaoqi has been struggling to impact the realm all night, and he has not moved the spirit crystal given by the old man Shi, what he has done is the next scene, filling himself with the pure spiritual power contained in the spirit crystal, infusing it into the meridians of the whole body, and then impacting the realm, he doesn't want to be reduced to a bystander in the ruins because of his own strength limitations, so he chooses to impact the realm at such a critical juncture now, so that he can break through to the late stage of Yangxi Realm in one fell swoop, only in this way can he have the qualifications to compete with those clan disciples.
If the Quchi Realm is the foundation, which continuously provides the foundation of spiritual power for itself, then the Yangxi Realm is the branches, and the winding meridians extend to all corners of the body. Only when all the meridians around the body have been washed with spiritual power and imprinted with their own attribute imprints, can the Yangxi Realm be considered to have reached perfection.
Generally speaking, the essence of Yangxi Realm is to wash the meridians, open up all the meridians in one's body, and then nourish with spiritual power in order to stabilize the realm. The meridians of the human body are roughly the same, and it stands to reason that the gap in the strength of martial artists in the Yangxi realm should be very small, but the reality is cruel, and the gap between many martial artists in this realm will be infinitely widened, and among them, the main problem lies in the exercises.
The exercises are divided into four levels, heaven and earth, Xuanhuang, and the reason for this distribution is that in the exploration of the physical functions of the martial artists, the stronger the exercises, the stronger the potential of the martial artists explored, and naturally, the meridians opened up by different exercises in the Yangxi Realm will be different.
In the Yangxi Realm, the Yellow Rank Exercises can open up up to nine meridians in the human body, the Xuan Rank 18, the Earth Rank 27, and the Heaven Rank Exercises can open up an astonishing thirty-three meridians. The more meridians are opened, the more powerful the spiritual power will naturally be, provided that one's spiritual power is strong enough. Of course, not everyone can get through the top of the ranks, just like a martial artist with mediocre qualifications, even if he is given an excellent Yellow Rank Exercise, it is difficult for him to open all the nine meridians.
In addition to the exercises, the opening of the meridians also has a lot to do with the qualifications of the martial artists themselves, but no matter how good the talent is, it is difficult for a monk to open up all the thirty-three meridians. After thirty, opening up the meridians has little to do with qualifications, at that time, every time you want to open a meridian, the spiritual power required will increase exponentially, and that kind of suppression is like a moat, blocking too many people.
"Boom"
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoqi, who had been silent all day and had not made any movements, was sitting silently on the bed, and at this moment, a muffled snort came out of his body, and the azure spiritual power continued to surge around him, covering him and washing up layers of ripples. Through the azure water lines, you can vaguely see that the surface of Jiang Xiaoqi's body is crawling with dense meridian lines, those mottled lines are all over the body, at first glance it looks like a towering tree, rooted and rising from the curved pool, the branches have been condensed and formed, and what is missing is only the fine carving under the details.
"Huh, this breakthrough realm has consumed a full three hundred spirit crystals, if Grandpa Shi knows about it, I'm afraid he will scold me for being a loser." ”
Putting away all the azure light that was purifying all around his body, Jiang Xiaoqi felt the surging spiritual power in his body at this time, a touch of helplessness passed over his cheeks, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and said with some pain. The picture of Old Man Shi scolding him for being a loser couldn't help but come to mind, and when he thought of such a scene, he couldn't help but shrink his head, but the joy brought by the breakthrough in the realm diluted this helplessness.
As Jiang Xiaoqi thought in his heart, if Old Man Shi really knew that when he used up three hundred spirit crystals when he broke through the level in the late stage of Yangxi Realm, he would definitely scold him for being a loser, but at the same time, his heart would also be filled with joy, how many spirit crystals a person needs to devour to break through the realm can show the strength of his spiritual power from one side.
A martial artist in the realm like Jiang Xiaoqi used spirit crystals to impact the late stage of the Yangxi Realm, and at most fifty spirit crystals were used, but right now, Jiang Xiaoqi was six times higher than ordinary people. Of course, it is not that the spiritual power he possesses is six times stronger than others, but the upper limit of his own spiritual power in this realm, or the spiritual power that he can hold is stronger than that of a martial artist of the same level.
Because of the Water Spirit Origin Fragment, Jiang Xiaoqiqu Chi is a little bit bigger than others, coupled with the washing of the Origin Fragment, the purity of his spiritual power can be called a transcendent level, and he has no attributes, all kinds of elements cause him to need six times more spiritual power than others when he breaks through the realm.
However, at the same time as the "loser", the feedback brought to Jiang Xiaoqi is also worth the money, just in terms of the majesty of spiritual power, among martial artists of the same level, Jiang Xiaoqi can crush the opponent with the majesty of spiritual power alone, and even without using spiritual skills, he can achieve a devastating victory, and even fight across classes, with the support of such a strong spiritual power, the battle will not appear to be decadent.
According to his own estimate, at this time, the spiritual power surging in Jiang Xiaoqi's body was enough to compare with the powerhouses in the early stage of the Four Manchu Realms, and even relying on the characteristics of the water attribute spiritual power, the majesty of his spiritual power was even higher than that, so that he had enough confidence when facing the martial artists of the Four Manchus Realm.
In addition, the impact of the meridians in his body has also jumped from the original twenty to the current thirty, in addition, judging from the azure light that has just overflowed the surface of his body, the meridians opened up in Jiang Xiaoqi's body are thicker than ordinary people, which gives him full confidence when carrying spiritual power, which is all thanks to his strong spiritual power that surpasses the powerhouses of the same level. However, when he tried to open up the thirty-first meridian, he found that the stubbornness of the meridian had increased exponentially, and even with his powerful spiritual power, it was difficult to break through in the slightest, which made him feel a trace of frustration in his heart.
The level of the "Nameless Sutra" given to him by the old man Shi is unknown, but according to the old man, this fragment exercise is stronger than his own cultivation, but because of the fragment, it has always been collected by the old man. However, judging from the current situation, it is self-evident that Jiang Xiaoqi can open up thirty meridians, but without follow-up exercises, Jiang Xiaoqi's future cultivation will undoubtedly become a great obstacle.
"I haven't seen a lot of strength in a few days. ”
Just when Jiang Xiaoqi felt the change in his own strength and doubted the great obstacle encountered by the meridians, a voice full of charm sounded in his ears, and then he saw that there was an eye-catching human stunner in the room, and there was a charming aura all over his body, no need to look, Jiang Xiaoqi also knew who was coming, except for the hot-tempered and eccentric Huo Xin'er, who else could have such a fiery spiritual power breath.
"Why are you here?"
Turning around, looking at Huo Xin'er, who was dressed in red behind her and exuding a seductive atmosphere, Jiang Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.
"The ban outside the tomb ruins will be reduced to a minimum at noon today, and that is the best time for us to enter the tomb, and I am here to inform you, of course. ”
For Jiang Xiaoqi's knowingly question, Huo Xin'er couldn't help but glance at him, casually picked up a red fruit in the fruit bowl and stuffed it into her mouth, and explained to Jiang Xiaoqi on the side in a vague voice.
"Ximeng girl, you are also a popular goddess who is famous in Dongxu, is it unsightly to be arrogant?"
Staring at Huo Xin'er, who had no food in front of her, Jiang Xiaoqi stroked her forehead, and a helpless look flashed on her face. The beautiful stunner in front of him looks like the world says, with a captivating posture, but such a style of ignoring the appearance of eating is a little inconsistent with the gentle elegance of the rumors.
"Is the appearance of the slave family consistent with the elegant style in the child's heart?"
Listening to Jiang Xiaoqi's helpless words, Huo Xin'er was stunned for a moment, and then, swallowing the fruit in her mouth with a grunt, a touch of cunning flashed in her eyes, her delicate body stood up, the corners of her mouth hooked a smile, and slowly walked in front of Jiang Xiaoqi, her delicate and impeccable cheeks came towards him, and then, in Jiang Xiaoqi's shrunken gaze, she raised her jade hand and gently slid it over his cheeks, and the delicate cold touch made his flat cheeks instantly hot.
Gradually, Jiang Xiaoqi could clearly feel the snort of the girl in front of him, and the delicate face was reflected in his pupils, so close, even if he was so tenacious, at this moment, a trace of strangeness could not help but rise in his heart.
The heat wave of the girl's fiery lips and teeth hit Jiang Xiaoqi's cheeks, making his seemingly plain face appear a flush, his gaze gradually wandered, erratic, not daring to look directly at the girl in front of him, the strange feeling in his heart made him a little overwhelmed, and the dullness of the past gradually left him at this moment.
"So you're not a nerd. ”
Looking at Jiang Xiaoqi, whose eyebrows were clearly visible in front of her, Huo Xin'er smiled. Jiang Xiaoqi's image in her heart has always been that of a wooden nerd, especially at the beginning, when this guy looked at her, she was not even as happy as the herbs he picked, and that appearance really hit her deeply.
But right now, Jiang Xiaoqi's seemingly wooden cheeks were flushed, which made up for the blow to her young heart.
Feeling the faint words in his ear, Jiang Xiaoqi felt a ripple in his heart, whether in his previous life or in this life, this was the first time he had such close contact with a girl, and that strange feeling came to his heart, and he was a little overwhelmed. The whispering words in his ear made his neck shrink, and then he turned around, pretending to pack his bags, and suppressed the strange feeling that rose in his heart.
At the moment when Jiang Xiaoqi turned around, Huo Xin'er found that the seemingly wooden nerd in front of her was actually a little cute, and couldn't help but sneer. But at the same time, she also found that she didn't pay attention to the distance because of teasing this guy, and it wasn't until this moment that she realized that just now, she was so close to that guy that she could clearly feel each other's breathing.
When she came back to her senses, Huo Xin'er's delicate cheeks were also flushed, and she hurriedly didn't turn her head, and the palm hanging in the air was withdrawn like an electric shock, placed between the dresses, fiddling with a little panic, and there was a touch of redness on her earlobes, like ripe apples, which made people feel the urge to take a bite.
"I never thought that Miss Ximeng would be shy. ”
After packing up his things and turning around, Jiang Xiaoqi happened to see Huo Xin'er's cheeks flushed, and when he recovered his expression, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly walked to the girl's side, pretending to be stunned with a dark look on his face, and said in surprise. Then, he didn't care about the girl behind him, he pushed open the door first, and walked out of the inn, leaving only Huo Xin'er with a messy face, jumping with a small mouth and full of annoyance.
......
Outside the town, the Lingyun Mountains stretch for dozens of miles, the trees are lush, and the mountains overlap, however, within a radius of a few miles of the ruins, there is little vegetation to survive, here, only a bare tree called iron pine grows, only a few branches, as its name suggests, the whole body of iron pine wood is like molten iron watering and condensation, shining with a dark metallic luster under the sunlight.
At this time, in this bare iron pine forest, there are dozens of warrior figures, different shapes, looking around at the iron pine forest where they are, looking into the distance, falling outside the black fog that can be touched, a trace of fear flashes in the pupils, but more is the eagerness that emerges on the face.
"Brother Lu, most of the other forces have entered the miasma and have begun to break the ban on the ruins, why are we still staying here?"
At this time, a complaining voice sounded in the crowd, looking at the only team of people around him, and his words revealed a faint dissatisfaction.
Following the reputation of complaining, in the center of the crowd, there was a thin man standing, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a black robe, and holding a three-foot Qingfeng in his hands, but from the appearance of nothing, he would not attract the slightest attention if he was thrown in the crowd, and the words full of dissatisfaction before came from his mouth.
Beside this man, there stood a handsome, white-clothed young man, named Lu Yu, who was a helper that Huo Xin'er found in the town, and the strength of the early stage of the Four Manchurian Realms was almost the strongest in this temporarily formed team, and the family he was born from also had some strength, located in a heavy city not far from Qingshan Town.
Hearing the complaining voice from the man beside him, Lu Yu turned sideways and cast a warning look at him, with a look of disgust in his eyes, indicating that his words were a little too much. Then, I saw a commotion from the crowd behind the two, and everyone's eyes looked at the light fiery figure not far away.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Lu Yu's eyes also followed everyone's line of sight, and then, a moving figure in red appeared in his sight, and the eyes that looked at the latter revealed undisguised admiration. The biggest reason why he joined this team was the beautiful shadow that came not far away, not only him, but most of the people in the team behind Lu Yu came here to see the beauty.
However, when Lu Yu saw Jiang Xiaoqi who was sweeping beside Huo Xin'er, the admiration in his eyes disappeared instantly, and turned into a touch of gloom, in his heart, he had already regarded Huo Xin'er as his own forbidden body, how could she be allowed to get so close to other men, and that kid's strength didn't seem to be outstanding, how could the strength of the later stage of Yangxi Realm be worthy of walking with Huo Xin'er.
"Master Lu, I'm really sorry for the delay because of some things. ”
Huo Xin'er's figure swept lightly and landed in front of everyone, a smile appeared on her delicate cheeks, and she smiled apologetically at Lu Yu in front of her, opened her teeth lightly, and said slowly.
Miss Xin'er said with a smile, it is a great honor to be able to wait for Fangrong. ”
Putting away the gloom that emerged under his eyes, Lu Yu's chest straightened slightly, making a gentleman's appearance, smiling suddenly, showing a gesture that gave people a sense of generosity, his eyes were full of fanatical admiration, and he looked at Huo Xin'er, who was dressed in red in front of him, and as for Jiang Xiaoqi, who came with her, he was directly ignored.
"This is also a friend of ours, called..."
Gently tapped her chin at Lu Yu, who was full of admiration in front of her, and the corners of her mouth skimmed helplessly, and then, Huo Xin'er gave up a position, revealing Jiang Xiaoqi who was standing behind her, a little annoyed look appeared on her delicate cheeks, she gritted her silver teeth, and explained softly, but before the words fell, she found that until now, she didn't know the name of this young man, and she couldn't help but be stunned between words.
"Eba"
Looking at Huo Xin'er beside her, who looked stunned, Jiang Xiaoqi felt a little helpless in his heart, stepped forward slowly, bowed his hand slightly to the people in front of him, made up a name randomly, and said to the noisy crowd.
For these temporary partners, Jiang Xiaoqi did not intend to reveal his true name, because he knew in his heart that when he arrived at the ruins, these so-called partners would not hesitate to turn against each other in the face of interests, there was no need to be too polite, no one would stay in the fight for these false friendships, after all, there was no fool who could come here, and he naturally knew the hidden rules.
"Alright, without further ado, let's go. ”
Glaring at Jiang Xiaoqi beside him, Huo Xin'er turned around and waved her jade hand at the people in front of her, a magnetic voice sounded in the crowd, and then, under the command of Huo Xin'er, this temporarily formed cheap team marched in the direction of the ruins.
