Chapter 223: Fusion
It's not that he's worried that Zhang Ping will betray himself, but this matter is too shocking and will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.
Zhang Ping has no objection to this, after all, everyone has their own secrets, you can choose to tell people or choose not to tell people, this has nothing to do with trust.
"Since you're going to deal with your own affairs, then I can only go back to the academy by myself, but I should go to see Zhang Feng before I go back. ”
Hearing this, Situ Nan nodded and said, "Well, that's fine, Brother Zhang and Brother Zhang Feng haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Zhang Ping smiled, "It's true that I haven't seen each other for a long time, but he always sends people to send news to the academy, and it's not that there is no communication." ”
The two were talking, and the auctioneer had already screened the required items, and the auctioneer said with a smile, "Let the VIPs wait for a long time, this auction is over, please go back." ”
Because it was a secret auction, the auctioneer did not say who won the bid, but at this moment, Zong Yiqing knocked on the door of the auction room where Situ Nan was, "Tu Nan Gongzi, can the old man come in?"
Hearing Zong Yiqing's voice, Zhang Ping immediately went to open the door, and then Zong Yiqing walked into the auction room.
After Zong Yiqing walked into the door, he saw the door closed before he spoke, "Childe said yes, this lot really fell into the hands of Childe." ”
When Situ Nan heard this, he said with a smile, "Sect Elder is serious, it's just that I happen to have the things that the master needs in my hand, if it weren't for this, I might not be able to win this battle." ”
Zong Yiqing heard Situ Nan say this, but he exclaimed, "Childe is really humble," as he said, Zong Yiqing took out a crystal box from his storage ring, which was the one that Situ Nan saw in the auction hall before, "The auction house knows that Childe and the old man have an old relationship, so they asked the old man to send this thing to Childe." ”
When Situ Nan saw the crystal box, he took two steps forward to take it, and said at the same time, "This is really annoying Sect Elder." ”
"Hehe, don't get in the way," Seeing that Situ Nan only had this cold ice in his eyes at this time, Zong Yiqing didn't mind, but said with interest, "Since the things have been delivered, the old man will leave first." After speaking, he didn't wait for Situ Nan and the two to stay, but walked out of the auction room by himself.
After Zong Yiqing left, Situ Nan's gaze moved away from the box containing cold ice, looked at Zhang Ping and said, "This is a wonderful person." ”
Zhang Ping pursed his lips when he heard this, "What's wonderful, it's just that you want to get close to Situ because you have a lot of treasures." ”
"Hehe, even so, his behavior is not offensive, and he left with interest as soon as he saw that I was concentrating on this cold ice, and this alone is enough to show that he is a smart man. ”
Zhang Ping didn't react at first when he heard Situ Nan's words, but then he was puzzled, "Situ, do you mean that I don't seem smart here?"
Situ Nan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile, "Where is Brother Zhang, my previous attitude was just for that sect Yiqing, and there is nothing worth avoiding for you and me, Brother Zhang, besides, although this cold ice is precious, but this kind of thing is not something we have never seen in the academy, where is it worth making such a fuss." ”
Zhang Ping nodded when he heard this, "In the future, if you think I'm inappropriate here, just tell me directly, if you hint like before, I'm afraid I won't be able to react." ”
Seeing Zhang Ping like this, Situ Nan immediately thought that the other party didn't believe his words, but then when he saw Zhang Ping's serious expression, he did smile, "Okay, if there is really anything that needs to avoid Brother Zhang in the future, I will definitely say it!"
After speaking, Situ Nan looked around, "Brother Zhang, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the inn first." ”
"Good!"
Saying that, the two left the auction hall and went straight to the Xuanwu Inn, and when they left, someone from the auction hall was ready to come up and talk, but Situ Nan and the two were resolute, so the man didn't bother much, and respectfully let Situ and Nan go.
After returning to the inn, Situ Nan found a secret room from the innkeeper, preparing to refine the cold ice.
After all, this is the top inn in the Xuanwu Empire, and naturally there is only housing like an ordinary inn, whether it is a small auction house, a gambling house, or a cultivation secret room, it is like a small business circle.
After Situ Nan found a secret room, Zhang Ping and Situ Nan separated, after all, this is the Xuanwu Empire, if someone wants to do that kind of murder and treasure here, with the cultivation of Situ Nan and the others, they can't do anything to resist, after all, as long as the other party is not stupid, they also know that the cultivation of Dengfeng Realm can't make any waves in this Xuanwu Empire.
......
In the secret room arranged by the Xuanwu Inn, at this time, Situ Nan was putting the jade box containing the cold ice in his hand, and he had already recognized that the instrument containing the cold ice was called Heyu.
This jade usually appears in various extreme realms, or extremely cold, or extremely hot, or wind and rain, or lightning and thunder, no matter what the environment around it, this jade can maintain its own mildness as before, and does not change the slightest change in its surroundings.
It is precisely because of this attribute that its cost is extremely high, and it is usually used to hold some things that are difficult to hold in ordinary utensils, and this piece of jade can hold such a high-standard thing as cold polar ice, and it must be the king of jade, and the value of this thing alone is incalculable.
However, for this thing, Situ Nan only looked at it a few times and then didn't look at it anymore, after all, for him, no matter how high the value of this and the Jade King was, it was just a vessel containing things, and at this time, in his eyes, there was only this and the cold ice that bloomed in the jade.
The spiritual power surged, and Situ Nan released his fire attribute, which made the temperature of the surrounding environment rise, making the secret room a little hot for a while, but then, when Situ Nan gently lifted the lid of the box, the temperature around him immediately dropped, even if Situ Nan vented his spiritual power and kept making fire attributes outward to increase the temperature, it was useless.
Sensing this chill, Situ Nan secretly praised in his heart, and then, he did something unbelievable, only to see him take this cold ice out of the box and put it directly on his palm!
You must know that this cold ice is an extremely cold thing, even if it has a great impact on the monks of the Dengfeng Realm, ordinary monks in the Indoor Realm can only barely resist its cold air, if it is exposed for a long time, this cold air alone can make a monk at the peak of the room deeply damaged, but at this time, Situ Nan directly held it in his hand, and he had not put it down, such an act, if it was placed on other monks, it would only take a short moment to make it freeze and die.
Situ Nan himself also knows this, but compared to others, he knows a little more about the cold polar ice, and he also knows how this cold polar ice should be refined without the assistance of foreign objects.
Once when he was on earth, Situ Nan heard a saying, "Northerners rely on heating to keep out the cold, while southerners rely on righteousness." Although this sentence is a joke, for Situ Nan at this time, all he can rely on is his own "righteousness!"
This "righteous qi" is different from the "righteous qi" understood by ordinary people, in the face of the extremely cold power of the cold ice, there are only three refining methods on the mainland.
First, it is to rely on the power of the Extreme Creation Realm cultivator to forcibly refine this extremely cold power, and at the same time absorb the water attribute in it, but this method is simply impossible for Situ Nan.
Second, in the case of poor cultivation, it is natural to rely on external objects, so if you can find something extremely hot and neutralize it with this cold polar ice, it will naturally be able to suppress each other, so that it is naturally possible for ordinary people to absorb it.
However, this method, not to mention the need for two kinds of treasures, the consumption of this method alone is heart-wrenching, although the two attributes can be neutralized with each other, but their own attributes are depleted, so the act is to play the role of one plus one less than two, except for some monks who are violent and destroy the heavens, most of them will not choose to act like this.
For Situ Nan, in fact, this kind of consumption is acceptable to him, but he thinks that such a method will bring another problem.
If one fire and one water neutralize each other, it will certainly allow him to absorb it and improve his water attributes, but at the same time, his fire attributes will naturally increase, so how can he achieve the purpose of balancing the four systems?
At this time, his cultivation is different from the past, if his cultivation balance cannot be controlled well at this time, and he accidentally makes a breakthrough in his cultivation, he can only wait until he reaches the peak of the seal to find the opportunity to collect all the attributes, but how long will he have to wait?
So in order to prevent this from happening, Situ Nan had to choose the third way to absorb this piece of cold ice, that is, to use himself to force this piece of cold ice!
Of course, Situ Nan is not untargeted for this, he naturally will not joke with his life casually, and at this time, he is naturally somewhat sure that he is ready to take the cold extreme ice.
Where does the grasp come from? This is the cultivation in his body at this time.
At this time, Situ Nan, as a four-attribute monk, had already reached the peak of the middle stage of entering the room with the help of other heavenly and earthly treasures, but at this time, his water attribute cultivation was stuck at the beginning of the middle stage of entering the room, without the slightest sign of progress.
In this case, the attributes in Situ Nan's body had already undergone subtle changes, and the other three attributes had vaguely formed a union, working together to block the weakest water attribute.
In fact, this is not unreasonable, just like the people in the secular world, if it is four people who have nothing to do with each other, three of them are strong and one is thin, without considering benevolence, righteousness and morality, if there is food, it is natural that the strong three people can divide it, and this thin person eats some scraps at most, in this case, how can you ask the water attribute to be able to catch up with you?
In fact, although this situation had already appeared at the beginning, Situ Nan's spiritual power was still very strong at that time, and he could ignore these spiritual powers' own resistance, and use the deterrence of spiritual power to make these spiritual powers distribute according to his own arrangements, but at this time, his spiritual power did not have such a big advantage, and under the combination of these three attributes, it was difficult to use spiritual power to forcibly divide it.
But it is precisely because of this that Situ Nan is sure of one thing, that is, if the several spiritual powers in his body are mixed at this time, he will already be able to touch the threshold of the Dengfeng Realm, after all, his spiritual power at this time has also stood on this threshold.
This discovery made him confident in himself, as long as his spiritual power could stick to his original heart, he was sure that he could rely on his spiritual power to forcibly refine this cold ice!
And for Situ Nan, this kind of refining does not need to be very thorough, as long as he can take his water attribute up that step, it will be the moment when Situ Nan will lift the suppression of several other attributes, so as to break through his cultivation in one fell swoop.
At that time, this cold ice will no longer be a snake and scorpion for Situ Nan.
It is precisely for this reason that Situ Nan is relying on his own "righteousness" at this time, sticking to his heart, and then rapidly using his spiritual power, trying to carve up a little water attribute from this cold ice.
......
But said that after Zhang Ping left Situ Nan, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, although he probably knew what it was, but he didn't know exactly, but even so, he still had some doubts in his heart, after all, as far as his little knowledge, he wasn't very sure if this thing could be absorbed by a monk in the room period, but the cold before was lingering in his heart, making him turbulent.
With doubts in his heart, he looked at the sky outside, Zhang Ping was sure in his heart, and left the inn and went to the teleportation array of the Xuanwu Empire.
Maybe Zhang Ping was lucky, he had never encountered the situation of queuing up in the teleportation array all the way to the Qinglong Empire, basically as soon as he boarded the teleportation array, this round of teleportation had already begun.
In this way, it only took a few hours, plus the time to take the flying birds, Zhang Ping actually went directly from the Xuanwu Empire to the location of the Qinglong Empire.
After returning to the Blue Dragon Empire, Zhang Ping ran non-stop to the place where a little red is, in fact, he originally wanted to find Zhang Feng, but after all, he wanted to know more about this kind of thing.
After Zhang Ping came to a little infrared, the people in the red saw Zhang Ping coming, and they also knew that he had a good relationship with Wuyang, so they immediately entered Xunwuyang and informed her that Zhang Ping was coming.
After hearing the news, Wu Yang was stunned, but she knew that Zhang Ping and Situ Nan had returned to the Situ Kingdom, and she also knew that the Situ Kingdom had now been successfully promoted and became a medium kingdom, but at this time, what did Zhang Ping suddenly come here for?
In her heart, Wu Yang immediately walked out and met Zhang Ping, at this time, she saw that Zhang Ping was in the dust, and there was no Situ Nan by his side, so she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.
"Zhang Ping, why did you suddenly come to me? What about Tu Nan Gongzi? Isn't he with you?"
Hearing Wu Yang's question, Zhang Ping didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know what Cold Polar Ice is?"
Seeing Zhang Ping like this, Wu Yang couldn't help but be stunned, she remembered that Zhang Ping was not such a character, but she still replied, "This is naturally known, the cold ice is a treasure of the water attribute, and the power of extreme cold, even in front of the cultivators of the Extreme Creation Realm, it is a good treasure." ”
"Then do you know what is wrong with this thing if it is absorbed in the indoor realm?"
"This?" Wu Yang couldn't help but guess when he heard this, "It is naturally impossible to absorb it directly, but if you find another fire attribute treasure, under the restraint of each other, you can absorb it, what's the matter? Could it be that Tu Nan has a cold polar ice, and it just so happens that I happen to have a fire attribute treasure here, but I can use it for him." ”
Who knew that Zhang Ping's face changed when he heard Wu Yang's words, and asked, "What if there is no fire attribute treasure?" You must know that Zhang Ping is extremely clear about what treasure Situ Nan exchanged in the academy, and naturally he also knows that even the treasure that Situ Nan exchanged for the fire attribute before has now been consumed, and there is no such thing in Situ Nan's hands at this time.
"If you don't have a fire attribute treasure, you can't naturally refine and absorb it, after all, this thing is generally an extreme realm ......."
Wu Yang was talking, but his face changed, "Could it be that Tu Nan ......?"
Zhang Ping nodded, "That's right, today Situ took a picture of a piece of cold ice, and it is being refined at this time!"
"Why is he so confused!" Wu Yang snorted, and then said to Zhang Ping, "Hurry up, it may be too late to rush now," and as he spoke, Wu Yang took Zhang Ping to the inside of the red shop, and then disappeared.
......
Situ Nan naturally didn't know about Zhang Ping's move to find Wuyang, and he was still struggling with this cold ice at this time.
At present, if there are outsiders here, they will find that Situ Nan's whole person is already like an ice sculpture, and there is no part of his body that is not frozen, and his body is also cold at this time, the three attributes of gold, wood and fire are running hard, but the water attribute in his body is still moving freely at this time, but it has no effect on the cold of this cold ice.
Sensing the situation in his body, Situ Nan was also a little helpless for a while, he just felt that his comprehensive spiritual power quality could already be compared to the Dengfeng Realm, so it should not be difficult to refine a trace of cold ice water attributes, but when he really implemented it, he felt the suffering.
At this time, don't look at him holding this cold ice in his hand, but in fact, he can't absorb the slightest amount of energy from it, and all the spiritual power sent out by him has been frozen and stagnant when it stays inside his palm.
He didn't know how many times he had repeated this behavior, but it didn't make the slightest difference.
But fortunately, at this time, Situ Nan could feel that although it was a little difficult for him to obtain the energy contained in this cold polar ice, it would not be difficult if he was only ready to throw this cold polar ice back into the Jade King.
After all, his previous feelings were not illusions, his own three attributes had indeed approached the Dengfeng realm after obtaining the bonuses of various strange powers, and then fusing with each other, such a quality could keep him safe for a while.
But for this kind of situation of retreating with his whole body, Situ Nan was not very satisfied, could it be that he spent a scroll of exercises to shoot down this cold polar ice and could only watch it dryly? This kind of feeling of having a treasure mountain and not being able to use it in the slightest is not pleasant.
For a while, Situ Nan couldn't help but fall into thought, if this method is different, then what other methods should be used?
This kind of thinking only lasted for a few breaths, Situ Nan stopped, and at this time, strictly speaking, he was still in a frozen state, if he fell into contemplation, once something went wrong in the operation of spiritual power later, he would really be frozen here, so the thought together, Situ Nan couldn't help but want to stop and wait until he found a safe way to refine this piece of cold ice.
Just when Situ Nan was about to give up, a warmth suddenly appeared around Situ Nan, making him feel a lot more comfortable.
"Where's the warmth?"
Situ Nan had doubts in his heart, but he didn't perceive the danger approaching at this time, and he put this doubt down in his heart for the time being, if he sensed the warmth at the same time, he would naturally stop cultivating immediately, but at this time, cultivation came first.
After this warmth appeared, Situ Nan found that his spiritual power, which was originally running hard under the chill of this cold ice, was suddenly much lighter, and at this time, he suddenly felt that the cold ice in his hand was not as solid as before, but was defective under the erosion of his spiritual power.
Although this defect is extremely weak, Situ Nan has also used his spiritual power to erode this cold ice I don't know how many times, so he is naturally extremely familiar with it, and at this time, he noticed it as soon as there was a little change.
After perceiving this slight change, Situ Nan's heart was greatly shaken, and then he immediately accelerated the operation of his three attributes of gold, wood and fire, and at the same time controlled his water attribute to silently contain the cold qi that might contain the water attribute at this gap.
In this way, I don't know how long it lasted, Situ Nan found that in this corner of the cold ice, there was really a drop of water, a drop of extreme water attributes.
After the appearance of this water attribute, Situ Nan only felt that the water attribute in his body was not under his control and wanted to surrender to this cold ice, but at this time, his three attributes of Jinmu Fire suddenly became stronger, as if he was resisting the power of this water attribute.
Sensing such a change, Situ Nan couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, the water attribute in his body surrendered to the water attribute of the cold ice melting, he could understand, but the three attributes in his body would resist because of this, which made him a little puzzled.
Although he didn't understand why his three attributes could be compared to the water attribute of the cold ice, Situ Nan's movements did not pause for a minute, and after he was able to control his water attribute freely, he drove his spiritual power and went straight to the cold ice.
......
