"Hmph!" Seeing the demon's smug look, Qin Shi snorted angrily, and simply sat outside the cold pool alone with nothing to do.

"Do the math, it's been four months since the last Sword Pavilion comprehension, and two more months are the Sword Sect's annual disciple competition, and I should also make some preparations for this. ”

Thinking of the Sword Sect's annual disciple competition, Qin Shi's black eyes couldn't help but shine with two turbid lights, one was a spark of stars, enough to ignite the battle intent, he knew that in the disciple competition, the grudge between him and Su Yu would completely break out, and it was also the moment when the real retreat disciple settled.

Although he is now nominally a retreat disciple of the Sword Sect, there are still many disciples and elders in the Sword Sect who are dissatisfied with him and dissatisfied, after all, his qualifications in the Sword Sect are too shallow, and many people still recognize Su Yu more, he can only suppress the significance of the group if he defeats Su Xu, otherwise it will be difficult for Fang Qing to protect him as the sect master.

Although, he didn't care about this retreat disciple, and he never thought of taking over the Sword Sect and being the sect master of the Sword Sect, he had his own ideas, Qin Sect, and responsibilities to Qin Sect.

However, after all, Su Xu is Zhang Hun's person, and for the sake of Fang Qing, he will not let Su Xu succeed, so he has a reason to win this disciple competition.

And the other is the expectation of the so-called Sword Shrine Holy Spirit Hall, the inheritance of the thirty-six Sword Sect Sect Masters, this is really too tempting, even he can't help but be tempted.

What's more, now, as his strength is increasing more and more, the conflict with the Ming group is becoming more and more direct and bursting, he needs strength, he needs to become stronger, only in this way can he protect the people he cares about.

He still can't forget the threat from the group within the Ming group at the end of the rune competition.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he must be able to win the championship of the annual disciple competition.

Therefore, he clenched his fists: "The last two months can't be wasted." ”

In the face of Su Xu, he did not dare to be careless, he was defeated in the hands of Su Xu once half a year ago, although he has improved a lot in the past six months, but who can guarantee that Su Yan has not made progress? To be precise, it is impossible for Su Yu not to make progress, with Su Xu's talent, his growth in the past six months will also be terrifying, so he must pay more than Su Luo.

"Whew......! Qin Shi couldn't help but feel a little bitter and helpless.

Now, he has just broken through to the fifth layer of the top of the sky, and his soul power has reached the spell realm, whether it is spiritual power or soul power, it is really difficult to make a breakthrough in two months.

Suddenly, the voice of the donkey sounded: "Boy, if you want to become stronger, why don't you look at the present?"

"Right now?" Qin Shi was stunned.

"Yes, so close, and the best way not to think about it, if you have to think about those impractical solutions, aren't you sick?"

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Shi was a little puzzled, especially since it was so close, was there anything he could use around him?

Donkey Ruhua pouted: "You feel the surroundings yourself, don't you know?"

Qin Shi frowned, but he was not in a hurry to refute, but slowly closed his dark eyes, letting his breathing steady and feeling every molecule around him.

Suddenly, an extremely strange power swam in his body, like a delicate spirit snake, which made Qin Shi's black eyes widen in an instant.

"Got it?" snorted the donkey.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Shi nodded and said, "You mean, this purgatory power?"

"Of course, this kind of alien power itself is an extremely rare power in the world, and if you can master one, you can increase its cultivation and strength several times. "The donkey is like a flower.

Qin Shi was silent for a while when he heard this, indeed, the power of purgatory was indeed the power he needed most at the moment, and it was also the best way to make him stronger, but it was just ...... His expression was a little gloomy.

"What are you doing in a daze? I've said this, you can't figure it out, do you?"

"No!" Suddenly, Qin Shi vetoed.

"Huh?" Donkey Ruhua was confused by Qin Shi's strange move, and said angrily: "What can't you do? Do you know that this kind of alien power, even in ancient times, was the power of countless heaven and earth, and now it is placed in front of you, and you still don't know how to cherish it?"

Qin Shi shook his head: "This power of purgatory is indeed tempting, but I promised Wanyue that this power was only used by me to save Lingsha, and I would not use it in other places." ”

Hearing this, the donkey stomped her feet angrily, knocked Qin Shi's head vigorously with her jade hand, and said: "I, I, I really don't know what to say about you, you idiot, are you stupid? What promise or not, in the face of interests, can you be realistic and sober? I tell you, people are not for themselves, but they will be destroyed by heaven and earth." ”

However, no matter what Donkey Ruhua said, Qin Shi refused to change his mind: "Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, the promise is just a ridiculous lie, but, as far as I am concerned, I will do what I say!"

"I, I, I'm really by you!" the donkey shouted angrily, and then turned around and pouted and ignored Qin Shi.

Simply, Qin Shi ignored her, and Qin Shi always couldn't agree with the world about the promise.

This is what he is attached to.

Seeing this, Qin Shi couldn't resist it, and the donkey Ruhua pouted and said, "Forget it, I really can't understand you as a person, but even if you are not ready to use this alien power, you can still use this to improve your cultivation." ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Shi asked curiously, if he could still use the power of purgatory to improve his cultivation without using it, this shouldn't be considered a breach of trust, right?

Donkey Ruhua pouted with emotion: "The power of different species is a variant of spiritual power, this kind of power has always been difficult to be used by living beings, but once it can be absorbed, it will definitely have special power, and it is very pure, you can now absorb the power of purgatory, why don't you get up and improve your spiritual power cultivation? ”

"Is this okay?" Qin Shi's dark eyes glowed with golden light.

"Of course, you idiot!" snorted the donkey.

Inexplicably, a little flame burned in Qin Shi's heart.

If he could break through one layer again in terms of spiritual power, then in the annual disciple competition two months later, he would be somewhat sure that he would be able to defeat Su Yan.

As soon as he thought of this, he quickly got up.

It has always been his consistent style to do what he says, so he kneaded his mudra with both hands, and quickly changed it as quickly as possible, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the state of selflessness.

Of course, this retreat had a special meaning for him, and it was also a state that he had never been in before, because what he activated and operated was not the familiar palace crystal nucleus, but the very unfamiliar black crystal that he had never come into contact with.

"Buzz!"

When activated by him, the black crystal flickered slightly, and gently rotated with frequency, and for a while, the buzzing sound continued to turn out of Qin Shi's body, forming a vortex with him as the center of the circle, and the extremely huge power around him poured into his body.

However, under this seemingly wonderful scene, Qin Shi frowned violently, his face became sunken, and he glared hard.

A heart-piercing pain made him feel painful.

It's really heartache, because that power seems to pull all the negative forces in his body.

For a moment, he was like falling into hell, all the things he was most unwilling to face, the least willing to bear, and what he had seen all these years were excavated, making his mind almost explode.

"Uhh

He drank in pain.

Bang!

In an instant, the black crystal turned dull.

In this way, he still exhaled a few times in a row, and then gradually calmed down, but his forehead was already covered with sweat.

"Just now, what did you feel just now?"

When he recalled it now, he felt creepy, as if he had really just escaped from purgatory.

Donkey Ruhua was silent for a while, and said: "I think, this should be the power of this alien power, I also said before, each alien power has a special power, and if you want to absorb it, you have to pay the same conditions, this purgatory power seems to dig out the deepest fear in people's hearts, making people like deep purgatory." ”

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes, it seemed that this was really the case.

He couldn't help but suddenly remember what Qiu Hua had said to him when he had just entered the refining realm and mistakenly absorbed the power of purgatory.

"Little one, this power is not something you can absorb casually. ”

Qin Shi couldn't help but sigh: "This power of purgatory is really not something that can be absorbed casually...... It is no wonder that the disciples of the Refining Domain have such extraordinary resources, but they are not yet able to stand out in the Eight Domains. ”

"Of course, any gain is proportional to the effort, even if you are guarding the spiritual mine and enjoying the treasures of heaven and earth, if you just stay where you are, you can only look at them. ”

Qin Shi nodded approvingly, and then he couldn't help but think of Qiu Hua and Zi Lingsha, and secretly admired: "They have today, and they don't know how much pain they have endured." ”

You must know that the most painful thing in the world is not the physical trauma, but the painful past that makes you look directly at the painful past that you are most unwilling to think about.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi calmed down again, although he was very reluctant to face it again, but even Zi Lingsha could come to this day, why couldn't he?

For this reason, he tried to calm himself, and his dark eyes gradually closed again.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, he fell into a state of selflessness again, and the power of purgatory was integrated into the bloodlines and meridians of his body, and the black crystal in the dantian finally spun again.
