Chapter 11: The Second Floor of Naling
Zhang Ping looked at Yang Lingyun's distant back, but he was sweating profusely, as if he was about to collapse there. The strange spirit wood in his dantian suddenly turned into reality when Yang Lingyun approached him, as if he was extremely uneasy by some qi machine, and wanted to send out a qi machine to respond to Yang Lingyun. Fortunately, Zhang Ping already had cultivation at this time, and the aura and spirit wood in the cultivation were compatible. Although he tried his best to lock most of the qi that was about to be released in the dantian, there was still a trace of it floating out.
Yang Lingyun has been frowning and silent all the way. Gu Chuyao next to her saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked, "Senior sister, is there something wrong?"
Yang Lingyun continued to walk forward as if she hadn't heard it. It wasn't until Gu Chuyao patted Yang Lingyun's shoulder that she suddenly woke up from her contemplation. Looking back at Gu Chuyao.
"Senior sister, is there something wrong?" asked Gu Chuyao with concern.
"Oh, senior sister. It's okay, it's just that I heard Elder Han's lecture just now and reminisced about it. Yang Lingyun said casually.
"It's okay, you have to talk to my sister if you have something. Senior sister will try her best to help you. Gu Chuyao frowned and said.
Yang Lingyun just nodded lightly, didn't say anything, and the two walked towards their cave again.
Zhang Ping had just tried his best to protect the dantian, but he had to maintain his usual expression. Now I'm sitting on the futon I just listened to resting, and I don't want to get up again. Liang Qiushui was very strange when he saw Zhang Ping like this. Then he asked, "I said, junior brother, is there anything wrong with your body?" ”
Zhang Ping said: "Recently, I have been relatively impatient in my cultivation, and I just listened to Elder Han's lecture, and I knew that such cultivation would go crazy, and I was frightened for a while. ”
"It's okay, the junior brother has just entered the Dao Gate, and I heard Elder Han boast. A low-level disciple like you and me, where can there be so many demons, the path of cultivation must be firm, and you still need to exercise if you have such courage. Liang Qiushui said with a smile.
"Thank you for your teaching. Zhang Ping said with a smile. After that, Liang Qiushui set up Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping also took the opportunity to stand up from the futon and pat the ashes on his body, and the two went back to the cave respectively.
Zhang Ping returned to the cave, locked the door of the cave, and sat down on the futon. Don't be in a hurry to digest what Elder Han said today, and directly look inside the dantian to find the traces of the spirit wood. But the spirit wood disappeared into the dantian as before. There was nothing in the dantian except for a faint aura cyclone.
As for why he had this reaction after seeing Yang Lingyun, Zhang Ping couldn't figure it out, so he could only stay away from Yang Lingyun in the future. Otherwise, if such a thing happens, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. Zhang Ping has been in the Qingyu Sect for seven years, and although his cultivation is weak, he also has some understanding of the immortal cultivation world. He felt more and more that this wood was not trivial, and if it was exposed to others, he would definitely die with his weak cultivation.
Zhang Ping listened to Elder Han's lecture today, and gained a lot, he was sitting on the futon at this time, no longer thinking about Yang Lingyun, and was meditating on what Elder Han said today, and integrating what he said into his practice. Unconsciously, more than a month passed. Zhang Ping has been practicing in the cave mansion except for doing his homework in the bookstore, even if he has not participated in the monthly Lingdan and Da Lecture. Not only because he wanted to avoid Yang Lingyun, but also because Cheng Daolai visited him once during his cultivation and left him more than a dozen Naling Pills, and also returned the Song Xuan Jue that was taken by Wen Xiu before, saying that it was given to him by his master Changqingzi, as long as his cultivation reached the seventh level of Naling, his old man would still recognize Zhang Ping as a disciple.
During this month's cultivation, Zhang Ping found that as long as the aura was sufficient, he would cultivate wholeheartedly. You can reach the realm of Bigu, but the aura in the compartment where Zhang Ping is located is very thin, and there is still some supplement. After more than a month of cultivation, Zhang Ping felt that he was already at the peak of the first layer of Naling, and he only needed an opportunity to break through, and he could also break through by eating a few pills of pills given by Cheng Dao, but since listening to Elder Han's class, Zhang Ping knew that the breakthrough in the early stage of cultivation was as natural as possible, and relying on external forces to break through was the cultivation after overdraft, not the best way.
On this day, Liang Qiushui knocked on the door of Zhang Ping's compartment.
"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for many days. Are you interested in accompanying me to the martial arts arena to see the brothers and sisters compete?" Liang Qiushui said.
"Oh, where else does the sect go like this?" Zhang Ping wondered.
"Naturally, although cultivating immortals is immortal, there will also be competition, each sect will have similar places, and our Qingyu Sect will not be an exception. Liang Qiushui said.
"Okay, let's take a look. Zhang Ping got up and said.
The two of them came to a large open space in the Yanwu Hall, which was divided into many small pieces by the magic circle. Xu was the two of them who came early, and there were only a few people fighting in the magic circle.
"Look, that's Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Cheng of Yanwutang. They meet every few days, and today we just happened to meet each other. ”
Zhang Ping watched the two of them fighting back and forth in the martial arts arena, and he was very surprised. I saw Cheng Dao kill people only in an instant, but I didn't expect my peers to be able to talk about Taoism with martial arts, could it be that this can really improve cultivation?
"Senior Brother Cheng, your Burning Waves technique has been refined recently!" Zhang Han said as he changed his right hand and realized that his body suddenly volleyed into the air and dodged several blue fire bombs from Cheng Jing.
Cheng Jing saw him volleying, did not speak, and quickly pointed into the air, and several fire bombs flew out from between his fingers, and Zhang Han was about to hit the air in an instant.
Zhang Han smiled, turned his fingers into palms in his hand, and wiped his left hand from right to left, and a water-like mirror appeared from the sky. All the flying fire bombs were absorbed by the mirror, and the mirror instantly turned into several ice spikes and shot towards Cheng Jing. Cheng Jing roared when he saw this, and he didn't see him dodging, standing in place, as strong as a pine and cypress. The two fingers of the right hand are placed in front of the eyes and shake all the time. When the ice spikes were about to hit him, Cheng Jing waved his right hand, and several ice spikes actually deviated from the direction and shot towards his right.
At this time, Zhang Han was still in the air and did not land, and Cheng Jing had already gone straight to the place where Zhang Han was about to land. Seeing this, Zhang Han's eyebrows furrowed, and he wanted to escape to the sky, while Cheng Jing turned his finger into a fire sword under Zhang Han and chased Zhang Han directly.
Zhang Han shouted badly in the air, and said loudly: "Senior brother, I admit defeat!"
Cheng Jing instantly withdrew the fire sword and fell back to the ground, Zhang Han also fell to the ground, bowed to Cheng Jing and was about to speak, but heard a commotion not far away. The two looked at it, but found that Zhang Zhen, the leader of the outer gate, was walking towards this side with a few junior disciples.
"Cheng Jing, your kung fu of turning qi into a sword is indeed good, but this sword blade is probably not as good as Senior Brother Ling. Zhang Zhen looked back at Ling Feng, who was following him.
"This is natural, Senior Brother Ling is indeed stronger than me. Cheng Jing first clenched his fists at Zhang Zhen, and then looked at Ling Feng behind him.
Zhang Zhen nodded with a smile, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liang Qiushui and Zhang Ping who were watching the excitement in the distance, and his eyes were slightly squinting at Zhang Ping. Then he waved his hand and called a junior brother behind him, and said, "Go try them, stay in proportion and don't get hurt." Then he chatted with Cheng Jing and the others again.
It is said that this junior brother's name is Tao Xing, and his cultivation is only on the second floor of Naling. is also a lively person, always following Zhang Zhen to help him do some trivial things, and Zhang Zhen also gives him some benefits from time to time. The other disciples also knew that Tao Xing was Zhang Zhen's person, and they usually didn't provoke him.
"The two senior brothers, in Xia Taoxing, are disciples of the pharmacy. Today I also came to observe the competition of the senior brothers. I've been stuck on the second floor of Naling for a long time, and I also want to break through to the third layer of Naling through sparring. However, there are very few brothers on the first and second floors of Naling who come here to learn from each other. Judging by this brother's face, he should be a new disciple, right?" Tao Xing asked with a smile.
"Senior brother is wise, in Xia Zhang Ping, I just came to the bookstore for more than a month. Zhang Ping clenched his fists and said.
"In Xialiang Qiushui, I have been practicing for three years. Cultivation is also the second layer of Naling, my junior brother just came, and his cultivation is not as good as you. If you want to learn, I can accompany Brother Tao. Liang Qiushui stood in front of Zhang Ping and said.
"Haha, I also mean to learn from Brother Liang Qiu, Senior Brother Zhang has just entered the sect, so naturally I won't compare with him. ”
After the two finished speaking, they walked into the circle.
The fight between these two people in the magic circle is no match for Cheng Jing and Zhang Han. It's just a game with the most basic gravitational arts. After a while, Liang Qiushui still had a slight upper hand, and Liang Qiushui used gravity to control a few darts, and finally forced Tao Xing, who only had one sword, into a dead end.
"Haha, Senior Brother Liang Qiu, admit defeat in the next place!" Tao Xing said with a smile.
"Agreed!" Liang Qiushui said with a smile.
"I was very happy to meet the two of you today, and I wanted to talk to them again, but I just learned from learning from Senior Brother Liang Qiu, and it was time to go back to enlightenment, so I left next. Tao Xing clenched his fists and said.
"Where, if you have leisure, you must come to my residence to discuss!" Liang Qiushui said with a smile.
After Tao Xing went back and told the two of them about the situation, Zhang Zhen frowned and fell into deep thought, no matter how Zhang Ping looked at it, he was a disciple who had just started, how could he be concerned by Senior Sister Yang. There must be eccentricity, there must be eccentricity!
At night, Zhang Ping sat cross-legged on the futon. The speed at which he absorbed the aura now was different from that before Na Ling. The aura in the compartment has all been absorbed by Zhang Ping in his body, and every bit of aura in the aura eye will be inhaled into his body by Zhang Ping in an instant. In the end, Zhang Ping simply covered the futon on the spiritual eye, and sat on the futon again. Zhang Ping had been cultivating in this cave for more than a month, and he knew that the compartment he was in was relatively close to the edge, and if he wanted a compartment with more spiritual energy, he had to change the compartment in the middle. The room in the middle of the cave is the most aura. Zhang Ping also thought about changing a compartment, but found that the compartment slightly closer to the middle was occupied by disciples. He cultivated himself and was at the bottom, and he couldn't snatch it from other disciples.
If you look at this aura absorption rate, I'm afraid that you won't be able to break through at all in a year and a half. Zhang Ping simply didn't care so much, took out three Naling pills from the brocade bag on his waist and took them orally, and then returned to the Yuan according to the Song Xuan Jue. Not long after, there was a loud bang in the dantian, and the range of the aura in the dantian was three times larger than before! Zhang Ping sat on the futon, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He knew that he had broken through again!
