Chapter 22: A Time of Peace
In the main hall of the village chief's mansion, Wang Xi made Qi Ming a cup of spiritual tea.
"Are you a disciple expelled from the Soul Refining Hall?" Qi Ming picked up the tea, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and asked directly.
Wang Xi nodded and replied, "Generally, the Soul Refining Hall has outer disciples who take turns to manage the flower slaves, and I had an accident while performing the task, so I was assigned to this remote position. ”
"Do you have a detailed map of the area?" Qi Ming asked again.
Wang Xi honestly took out an atlas, handed it to Qi Ming, and said, "This is about some of the circumstances within the strength of the Black Demon Sect. ”
Qi Ming put down the teacup in his hand, took the atlas, opened a few pages casually, and then put the atlas away, "Do you have any spiritual materials for healing?"
"Senior," Wang Xi smiled bitterly, "I am in such a barren place, where can I have spiritual materials? I use soul flowers for cultivation, and there are almost ten thousand here, why don't you take them?"
Qi Ming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't you hand over all the soul flowers you collected to the sect? Even if you detain some privately, how can there be so many?"
"The predecessors don't know, the territory of the Soul Refining Hall is vast, there are thousands of such villages, and the distance between each village is more than 100 kilometers, and the distance is nearly 1,000 kilometers, if you want to collect all the soul flowers of the entire village, it is not only time-consuming but also labor-intensive. Wang Xi explained, "And the soul flower is very important to the sect, so every three years, the Soul Refining Hall will organize all the outer disciples to collect the soul flowers in various villages, and the top ten in the number of soul flowers collected can be promoted to the inner disciples of the Soul Refining Hall." ”
"As long as I hand over three thousand soul flowers in three years, even if the seniors take all these ten thousand soul flowers, I can also go to a few nearby villages to borrow some soul flowers, although it is a bit laborious, but as long as the seniors have needs, they will go to the soup and fight the fire!" Wang Xi was completely shocked by the aura emitted by Qi Ming just now, so he tried to behave better.
Wang Xi's performance was indeed good, and Qi Ming also dismissed his plan to use soul searching on Wang Xi.
"Hehe......" Qi Ming chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically, "Collecting so many soul flowers is just for the identity of an inner disciple?"
"Oh, according to the number of soul flowers, you can also exchange them for spiritual materials and pill exercises and the like, by the way," Wang Xi suddenly said, "As long as the seniors make a move and collect enough soul flowers, they can be exchanged for spiritual materials that can heal in the Soul Refining Hall." As long as the number of soul flowers is large enough, it can also be exchanged for some spirit pills!"
Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not a disciple of the Soul Refining Hall, okay?"
Wang Xi said: "As long as the strength is enough, it's fine." ”
Qi Ming said, "Then you follow me, how about I let you return to the Soul Refining Hall and become an inner disciple?"
"Thank you seniors, but the strongest cultivators of the outer disciples of the Soul Refining Hall have all reached the early stage of the Tongnian Realm, and their strength is very strong, I don't know the seniors?" Wang Xi said cautiously.
"It's just a state of mind, and it doesn't matter. Qi Ming said lightly, "How long will it take for those outer disciples to start collecting soul flowers?"
"About a month. Wang Xi judged that Qi Ming must be an injured super strong man through Qi Ming's attitude, and immediately relieved his heart, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
"Then you prepare this month and try to improve some strength, you are still too weak. After Qi Ming finished speaking, he left.
Wang Xi stood at the gate, watching Qi Ming leave, pondering for a long time.
"If you stay in this poor country all the time, you won't have a chance to break through in this life, so it's better to gamble!" Wang Xi muttered to himself, making up his mind.
Qi Ming walked around a few times outside, took off the hat and the big hat and relieved the storage ring, thinking that he would have to act in a month, and somehow he felt a little strange in his heart.
Meng Kexin sat on the steps at the door, saw Qi Ming coming over from a distance, and ran forward happily, "Brother Ye, are you back?"
"What did you like about? Say it and share it. Qi Ming said with a smile, the reason why he hid his identity was because he didn't want to cause an estrangement between the two because of the gap in strength between him and Meng Kexin, he wanted to be in front of Meng Kexin, not a strong man, but a flower slave like her.
"I just met that mysterious friend of Brother Ye!" Meng Kexin said with a hint of excitement, "That senior is so powerful, he can solve everything with one look!"
When Qi Ming heard this, he felt very happy, and said with a smile: "As long as you cultivate well, you can solve everything with one look." ”
"Really?" Meng Kexin said, "Then I will definitely cultivate well." ”
"Now that I have time, I'll pass you a sword trick!" Qi Ming said, turning his hand and taking out a scroll, the Soft Water Sword!
The soft water sword is a sword technique that is more suitable for women's cultivation among Qi Ming's trophies for so many years, and the grade is on the ground level, which is divided into thirteen layers, which is enough for Meng Kexin to cultivate to the peak of the Transformation Saint Realm.
Qi Ming took out a cyan long sword from the storage ring and gave it to Meng Kexin, "You use this sword to cultivate." ”
The grade of this sword is extraordinary, far from being able to be urged by Meng Kexin now, Qi Ming has set up a nine-fold seal on this sword before, and as her cultivation grows, she will be able to gradually exert the power of this sword.
"Thank you, Brother Ye. Meng Kexin took the long sword in his hand and thanked him with a smile.
"Kexin, you don't have to thank me in the future. Qi Ming said with a smile.
Because of this incident, although the villagers saw that Meng Kexin was still hiding far away, she would no longer verbally insult, let alone have stones flying towards her from time to time, and the only thing she was worried about was that her grandfather's body was getting weaker and weaker.
She couldn't do anything, and it was very uncomfortable.
Qi Ming had used his ice pupils to see through Meng Xing's physical condition before, and Meng Xing's body was entangled in a dead air, and he couldn't treat it.
When Meng Kexin was born, she exuded a kind of dead air, and anyone who was close to her would indeed be affected, but the degree of influence was different, the higher the cultivation, the smaller the impact, although Qi Ming's no cultivation, but that dead air could not affect him.
Meng Xing was in the late stage of cultivation in the spirit introduction realm, so he and Meng Xing had been getting along for more than ten years, and his physical condition was getting worse day by day, and it had reached the point of no return.
Qi Ming didn't notice Meng Xing's situation at first, and after he recovered from his injuries, he immediately felt that something was wrong with Meng Xing's condition, but at this time, Qi Ming was also powerless.
Qi Ming also guessed through Meng Xing's situation that Meng Kexin's relatives were indeed affected by her and died, but he didn't say it, since the matter was irreparable, why did he say it to make her sad?
Of course, Qi Ming was thinking about how to solve the kind of dead qi on Meng Kexin's body, according to his inference, as long as he opened up the spiritual sea, he would be able to dispel those dead qi from the inside out, which was also one of the main reasons why Qi Ming had been trying to motivate Meng Kexin to cultivate.
During this time, Qi Ming still had no way to deal with the fragments of the Holy Infant that blocked the meridians in his body, and he could only snatch enough soul flowers in the upcoming Outer Disciple Trial Competition of the Soul Refining Hall, and then exchange them for spiritual materials or pills that could heal injuries.
In the past month, Qi Ming has been guiding Meng Kexin's cultivation in his spare time, and after Meng Kexin's spirit was introduced into his body, the speed of his cultivation was also a thousand miles a day.
This month of calm has passed, and it is time for Qi Ming to act.
