Chapter 16: Inexplicable Hostility
The question of how to leave Hongzhu's internal space did not bother Zhao Kuo too much.
For Zhao Kuo, who has a system, this problem is actually very easy to solve.
With just one thought, Zhao Kuo's body reappeared in the Apocalypse World.
Zhao Kuo, who returned to the Apocalypse Great World, first felt his own situation, and after determining that his current realm was the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, his eyes looking at Hongzhu were obviously different.
There is no doubt that the red bead is a priceless treasure, and with such a space containing several times the aura of the outside world, Zhao Kuo's cultivation speed can undoubtedly be improved by more than one grade.
However, Zhao Kuo also knew the truth of "conceiving his guilt", how could such a rare treasure that could increase the speed of cultivation not attract jealousy?
"It seems that I will have to pay attention to my surroundings when I use red beads in the future. ”
At this moment, Zhao Kuo had already set the fact that he was carrying a red bead as his top secret, and no one would be allowed to know about it. He didn't want to be remembered all the time.
In the next few days, Zhao Kuo followed Zhao Dongsheng to cultivate normally during the day, and at night, he sacrificed his sleep time to enter the inner space of Hongzhu to cultivate, and after entering the path of cultivation, sleep was no longer so important to cultivators.
In just a few days, Zhao Kuo's fifth-level cultivation in the Qi Refining Period had broken through again.
"Kuo'er, you have already cultivated to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period?" Zhao Dongsheng said in surprise, even he was surprised by such a cultivation speed.
"I was meditating on my own last night and suddenly I had a breakthrough. Zhao Kuo said truthfully, but he didn't mention that he was cultivating in the internal space of the red bead.
"At this cultivation rate, I believe that you will be able to make up for the ten-year gap in less than a few years. Zhao Dongsheng had a cold face, but he was very happy in his heart. The cultivation talent displayed by Zhao Kuo was so amazing that even Zhao Ling'er at the beginning couldn't compare to it.
But Zhao Kuo's surprise to Zhao Dongsheng was more than that, and every few days in the future, Zhao Dongsheng would find that Zhao Kuo's realm had improved.
The seventh layer of the gas refining period, the eighth layer of the gas refining period, and the ninth layer of the gas refining period
When Zhao Dongsheng faced Zhao Kuo again a month later, Zhao Kuo was already a cultivator in the foundation building period.
All this process was witnessed by Zhao Dongsheng himself. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Zhao Dongsheng wouldn't have believed that there were people in this world who could break through so quickly.
However, remembering that Zhao Kuo had killed the Demon Pill Stage Snake Jiao with a mortal body, Zhao Dongsheng felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
For Zhao Kuo, Zhao Dongsheng no longer dared to use normal logic to judge.
Zhao Ling'er learned that Zhao Kuo was already a cultivator in the foundation building period, and naturally she was very happy for Zhao Kuo.
"My brother is worthy of being my brother, I haven't seen him for a month, and I'm already a cultivator in the foundation building period. ”
Zhao Kuo just smiled at Zhao Ling'er's words and teased: "Although I am already in the foundation building stage, it is nothing to Ling'er, a cultivator in the Jindan stage. ”
After a month of retreat, Zhao Ling'er had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation, formed the Jindan, and became a Jindan cultivator who could take charge of himself.
"Brother is not what you say. Zhao Ling'er said unconvinced: "At the beginning, it took Ling'er a full year to cultivate from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, but my brother has only been four months since he stepped into the cultivation path, right? ”
"Is it the only one?" Zhao Kuo was naturally clear about what Zhao Ling'er said, but he knew better that his "only share" was obtained by relying on red beads. If there were no red beads, Zhao Kuo would be at the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period if he died now.
Originally, Zhao Kuo planned to tell Zhao Ling'er about Hongzhu, but when he thought that once Hongzhu's secret was exposed, it might not only bring disaster to himself, but also to the entire Zhao family, Zhao Kuo still didn't tell Zhao Ling'er.
This kind of secret, which is so important that the less one person knows, the less dangerous it is exposed.
"However, even at the current cultivation speed, it is still quite difficult to participate in the eight-month Saga Competition. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Brother, don't be discouraged, Ling'er believes you can do it. Zhao Linger encouraged.
And at this time, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard, breaking the conversation between Zhao Kuo and Zhao Ling'er.
"He also wants to participate in the World Family Competition?" As the words fell, a handsome young man in a green shirt appeared in front of Zhao Kuo, and what was revealed in his tone was even more naked contempt.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the handsome young man, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the Zhao family's genes. At least among the Zhao family members that Zhao Kuo has seen now, there is no one who looks crooked and cracked.
It's just that he looks good and looks good, and the words he says are a little inconsistent with his elegant temperament, simply put, this person gives people the feeling of being a moral rash hypocrite.
"Zhao Qingfeng, what do you mean by this?" staring at the visitor, Zhao Ling'er's eyes showed a strong hostility.
"Sister Ling'er, I'm just telling the truth. Zhao Qingfeng didn't realize that his words had angered Zhao Ling'er, and still said to himself: "Even if he reaches the foundation building period in four months, what if he is not qualified to participate in the family competition at this level. ”
"It seems that it is not up to you to participate or not?" Zhao Kuo chuckled, not reassuring Zhao Qingfeng's cynicism at all.
"I'm just afraid that some people won't be able to recognize the reality, so I just reminded him. Zhao Qingfeng glanced at Zhao Kuo, didn't take Zhao Kuo to heart at all, and moved his gaze back to Zhao Ling'er again.
"Oh, so you recognize the reality, why do I think you can't participate in the family competition?" Zhao Kuo still maintained a breezy appearance and said with a smile.
"Will I be able to participate?" Zhao Qingfeng seemed to hear a big joke, and couldn't help laughing several times, and then said: "After Sister Ling'er, I am the most promising person in the Zhao family to achieve the Jindan period, you say I can't participate?"
"Although it is the most promising, but you still haven't become a Jindan period? besides, you are really embarrassed to be complacent when you lag behind my family Ling'er. Zhao Kuo said with a look of disdain.
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, she was immediately happy, and thought: "My brother's mouth is really poisonous, and he doesn't use dirty words to harm people." ”
"Are you looking for death?" Zhao Qingfeng suddenly exploded, he had always been proud of his cultivation talent, but he was so proud, but he was never as proud as a little girl who was several years younger than him. This has always been a piece of heart in his heart.
Now, being stabbed out so directly by Zhao Kuo, a crack suddenly appeared in his originally consolidated Dao heart.
"Zhao Qingfeng, you'd better know what you're saying now. Zhao Ling'er didn't say a word, and she had to block in front of Zhao Kuo to prevent Zhao Qingfeng from making a move.
"Don't worry! I won't do it now! But he'd better pray that he won't touch me in a month's time, otherwise," Zhao Qingfeng's words didn't say the whole thing, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Kuo or Zhao Ling'er to answer, he left directly.
Soon after Zhao Qingfeng left, Zhao Kuo asked Zhao Ling'er about Zhao Qingfeng.
"He's a very annoying man. It can be seen that in Zhao Ling'er's heart, Zhao Qingfeng's impression is very bad.
Next, under Zhao Ling'er's explanation, Zhao Kuo understood why Zhao Qingfeng was inexplicably hostile to him.
As far as Zhao Ling'er said, before she was born, Zhao Qingfeng was the genius who was most seen by the Zhao family. However, since Zhao Ling'er was born and showed an amazing talent in cultivation, Zhao Qingfeng's position has plummeted.
The feeling of someone who had been held by people like stars holding the moon suddenly fell from the sky, and this feeling is not pleasant for anyone. And Zhao Qingfeng estimated that his mind was distorted at that time.
Now when he heard that Zhao Kuo's cultivation had achieved the foundation building period in four months, he naturally evoked the past that Zhao Qingfeng was most reluctant to recall.
"No wonder he's hostile to me, who is never masked. ”
