There is no doubt that the Nine Refining Qi Turning Heart Sutra is Ning Yuan's greatest gain since entering the Nino Continent, and it has also cleared a lot of obstacles for his future cultivation.

Ning Yuan was not sure if it was the highest-level technique that players had obtained today, but it was definitely one of the most advanced exercises. If another headquarters is found in the future and merged, it will definitely be one of the top peerless exercises in the entire Nino Continent.

However, although obtaining the top exercises made Ning Yuan very excited, thinking of Fan Xiu giving two secrets, Ning Yuan had to calm down.

Ning Yuan will be desperate to find opportunities because Ning Yuan knows the importance of "city knotting" in this world. And a piece of "city knot" without belonging is a treasure that players are looking for but can't get.

In the other boundary line, "Ningyuan" has obtained a county-level city junction without a belonging, that is, a city junction that can be upgraded to a medium-sized city-state at the highest.

As mentioned earlier, the highest level of city knot that can be sold in the system store is the county level. And that price is enough to bankrupt some small countries.

There are two names for the hierarchy of the city knot, one is town, city, county, province, and capital, and the other is the official or common name of the Nino continent, D, C, B, A, and Special A.

Originally, Ning Yuan thought that he could get a piece of Grade B here, that is, a county-level city knot, which was already the biggest gain that could not be desired, and it was also worthy of his experience of narrowly surviving in the past few months. But Fan Xiu told him that the end of this secret realm did have a city knot, but it was not a level B as Ning Yuan thought, but a special class A, that is, a capital level, and it was a city knot without belonging like another realm line.

A city junction without a home is a city junction where a city-state can be established in any area. It's a treasure that any aboriginal and player who doesn't want to be subservient to the human world can only dream of.

The change in the boundary line made the original B-level city knot heart become a special A-level, which was originally the good news that Ning Yuan was excited about for a few days and nights, but with the information given by Fan Xiu, Ning Yuan didn't know what to do.

Next, Ning Yuan will face a major decision on his future direction in the Nino Continent. Go and get that piece of the Grade A city or give up and leave this secret place with what you have gained so far.

If there was no information from Fan Xiu, Ning Yuan would undoubtedly go to that city to settle his heart, which was also the fundamental purpose of his independent arrival. But with Fan Xiu's information, Ning Yuan had to think carefully about what he would face in the future once he took over this city.

What will you face? One or more powerful hidden forces. The behemoth that dismembered the entire Qin Alliance and other forces that wanted to obtain the legacy of the Qin Alliance, as well as those forces and individuals who wanted to know deeper secrets. And the vast majority of these forces and individuals have a Heaven Rank existence.

In other words, as long as the origin of Ning Yuan's city knot is revealed, what awaits Ning Yuan will be endless hell, even if Ning Yuan hides it well, he will have to confront the behemoth that destroyed the Qin Alliance sooner or later. Because that's the price of accepting that special A city.

However, in connection with another secret given by Fan Xiu, that is, the reason why he chose "Xiuyuan City" as the goal in the first place, Ning Yuan felt that he actually had no good choice.

Especially now that his existence has been exposed in a great way.

The encounter with Scar and the others, the faint sense of urgency in the earth puppet labyrinth, all seemed to indicate that Ning Yuan actually had no choice.

And if what Fan Xiu said does exist, then it is not without the opportunity to hide it completely. It's just that the development of the city will be greatly affected. Ning Yuan thought to himself.

"By the way, what did I want to do in this world in the first place? Is it for that so-called qualification? ”

"No, it's not. I just want to...... Zhuxia. ”

Ning Yuan chuckled to himself and looked up at the Dunjia Gate that appeared on the wall behind the collapsed stone platform.

"That's it next. It's finally coming to an end. ”

Thinking so, Ning Yuan walked towards Dunjia Gate.

After walking out of the Dunjia Gate, Ning Yuan looked at the scene that was exactly the same as the one in the memory of the realm line, and breathed a sigh of relief. If this last level was completely different because of the deviation of the boundary line, Ning Yuan really didn't know what to say.

This is the end point of this secret place, the "Stone Forest of Asking Hearts". It is said to be a stone forest, but in fact, it should be called a stele forest. Because there are nameless stone monuments standing here.

The stele forest in front of you is roughly circular, and a section of bluestone road to the other end of the stele forest is paved with the direction directly opposite Ning Yuan's current position as the centerline. The bluestone-paved road is about nine feet wide, and on both sides of the road are neatly arranged pieces of wordless stone monuments. The symmetrical steles on the left and right are spaced six feet apart, and the height rises in turn, the two steles in front of Ning Yuan are the lowest, only three feet, the four steles in the second horizontal stele have doubled in height to six feet, and the six in the third horizontal stele are nine feet, and so on, all the way to the center. There are nine stone monuments on the left and right, and the number of stone monuments on the two sides decreases in turn, but the height continues to increase.

At the end of the circular stele forest is two stone tablets as high as six zhang, and then the end of the bluestone road is a huge stone platform with two stone tablets as high, the stone platform is connected with the road, there is a section of steps that obliquely go up, the steps are seven or seven numbers, after stepping on the stone platform, the center of the stone platform is a huge stone tablet as high as nine zhang, and the stone tablet is a huge "Qin" word that is sharpened with a knife and axe. The stele of the character "Qin" stands in the center of the platform, looking down on a total of 162 wordless steles below like a king overlooking the ministers.

In front of the stele with the character "Qin" is a stone table three feet high, six feet wide and nine feet long, and three treasure chests are placed on the stone table. The appearance of the treasure chest is very simple, who would want to contain the last remnants of the entire "Qin" alliance inside.

The special class A city knot that Ning Yuan wanted was in the treasure chest in the middle.

The road in front of me is calculated according to the bluestone, a total of 162 steps, the same number as the stone monument below, there are no traps on the road, Fan Xiu and the boundary line memory both give the same answer.

However, the 162 steps are not easy to walk, and the reason is in the name of the stele forest.

"Stone Forest of Inquiry". "Asking the heart" asks about the heart. Every time you take a step forward here, your heart will be subjected to an invisible "torture", and every time you accept "torture", the pressure in front will multiply.

According to the information left by Fan Xiu, there is the leader of the Qin Alliance, a heavenly order existence who had the opportunity to break through the monarch level, and the "power of asking the heart" left here, only those who pass the "power of asking the heart" can obtain his approval and get the last inheritance of the "Qin Alliance".

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and ran the "Nine Refining Qi Turning Heart Sutra" to convert the internal qi cultivated by the original "Three-Edged Gun Technique" into the Nine Refining Internal Qi, and then stepped onto the bluestone road leading to the stone platform.

After taking the first step, Ning Yuan's shoulders sank slightly, and his whole body seemed to be tied with a small sandbag for leggings for exercise in reality. In the second step, the sandbag turns into a lead block.

After taking fifteen steps, Ning Yuan's flesh began to sting.

Ning Yuan knew that with his current physical strength, he could only walk about twenty steps without using his internal qi, and any further, his physical body would be damaged under pressure.

Originally, in Ning Yuan's eyes, the thing "potential" was just a certain aura produced by the combination of tangible and intangible things such as a person's spiritual will, appearance, and status, and at most it made people unconsciously produce some cowardly or excited emotions.

Who would have thought that after the cultivator stepped into the ground, this thing would become some kind of substantial means. Not only can it weaken the strength of low-level existences, but it can also achieve attack effects such as suppression. And when he reached the Heavenly Rank, just a shadow of momentum left behind forced the low-level cultivators to go all out.

However, I have to say that the pressure here is quite suitable for cultivation. At least Ning Yuan's internal qi, which had originally expected to take three hours to complete the transformation, was almost completed by the time Ning Yuan took the thirty-sixth step.

It is not only the acceleration of the speed of internal qi, but also the refining of the physical body. Intuitively, Ning Yuan knew that after completing this "path of inquiry", his "strong" talent and "swift" talent would inevitably complete his awakening.

As he took the thirty-seventh step, there seemed to be a murmur from his consciousness. Ning Yuan knew that the real test had begun.

The previous "interrogation of the heart" was too slight, and Ning Yuan didn't feel it. But at this time, his will and spirit felt a little strained.

Originally, it was only the oppression of the body, but now it is the double oppression of the body and the spiritual will.

When he walked sixty steps, Ning Yuan's footsteps were getting slower and slower, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead.

Seventy steps, Ning Yuan's consciousness began to appear impetuous. Ning Yuan knew that this was the influence of the "torture" of the soul.

Eighty steps, Ning Yuan was no longer in a hurry to move forward, but quietly closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

After the originally high-quality three-edged internal qi was completely transformed into the Nine Refining Internal Qi, the amount of internal qi in the Ning Yuan Qi Sea dropped by half, but the quality also doubled. At least in Ning Yuan's senses, the effect of one point of Nine Refining Internal Qi was equivalent to the effect of three times the effect of Triangular Internal Qi, and this was still the manifestation after the transformation had just begun.

Thinking of the internal qi purification effect possessed by the Nine Refining Internal Qi, Ning Yuan was full of longing for the power of his internal qi in the future.

"It seems that this pressure can be used to temper the physical body, why don't you try it with "Refining the Nine Locked Bodies"?!"

While blocking the noise in his consciousness, he turned around the idea of using this pressure to practice the Nine Locks of Body.

The entry of "Refining Nine Locked Bodies" does not require medicinal materials, but Ning Yuan really wants to try it when he cultivates.

If you want to do it, Ning Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, withdrew the internal qi on the surface of his body, and a huge force suddenly pressed on his body, and his originally straight body unconsciously stiffened.

Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and picked up the method of "Refining the Nine Locked Bodies", only to see subtle rays of light emerge from Ning Yuan's body surface, and then swim along the pores of his skin.

In just a quarter of an hour, a layer of gray dirt slowly floated on the surface of Ning Yuan's body. And as time goes on, the color of the dirt becomes more intense and deeper. Simply put, it's getting darker and darker.

With the expulsion of impurities, Ning Yuan clearly felt that his strength was increasing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

"The normal order of physical body cultivation at the human level is tendons, bones, and skin, which are improved from the inside out. This "Refining the Nine Locks of the Body" is the strengthening of skin, flesh, viscera, intestines, meridians, blood, bones, and marrow from the outside in. ”
