Chapter 34: A Serendipity
The two of them chatted while walking, and only when they were close to the end of the day did they walk towards the second elder's office, and met Zhou Zhou Qi halfway, only to hear the beautiful woman laugh and say:
"I'm looking for you, Senior Brother Shi, you don't have to worry about him, leave it to me.
The second elder asked me to take him to 'Lao Ruyi', and I booked a private room there for them to talk to each other individually. ”
After Shi Kaiqiang left, Zhou Qi said to Jin Ziming:
"I really didn't see the wrong person, congratulations on passing the first test.
Now I'll take you to the restaurant first, the second elder has one last interview in the morning, and he will come over by himself after it's over. ”
"Okay, thank you." Jin Ziming smiled and agreed.
Under the guidance of Zhou Qi, the two came to a private room in a restaurant, and after the woman ordered the dishes, she said goodbye and left.
The waiter poured him tea, and Jin Ziming waited patiently while tasting tea.
It didn't take long for Liu Yangjun to come, and as soon as he entered the door, the loud voice sounded again:
"Jin Ziming, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"Second Elder is so polite, I just sat down not long ago." Jin Ziming told the truth.
"It's okay to have a drink, right?"
"Okay."
"Xiao Er, let's serve the food, and have another pound of 'Gujing Brew'." Liu Yangjun commanded.
The food and drinks were quickly served, and the two chatted while drinking.
"Jin Ziming, I see that Zhou Qi's evaluation to you is 'scholar-type', although you are very capable of fighting, I am not going to change her comments, so I will report back to the headquarters."
"Why?" Jin Ziming was surprised.
"Hehe, Jin Ziming, I am very optimistic about you, and your achievements will be not low in the future.
The Landu branch is willing to do its best to cultivate you, so I would like to ask you, would you like to join us after the training at the headquarters? ”
"I like Landu City a lot, I don't care where I go, since the second elder is so up-and-down, then I am naturally willing to come."
Jin Ziming groaned for a while, and then readily agreed.
"Good boy, come, have a drink, we will be brothers from now on." Liu Yangjun was very happy and drank a big cup.
"With your level, there should be no suspense about being admitted to the headquarters, and before the end of your professional training, I will work with the great elders of the branch to ask for someone from the headquarters in the name of the branch.
I can't promise you're coming, some guys at HQ are annoying.
But we'll do our best, and there's hope. Liu Yangjun said.
"What do you need me to do?"
"If the headquarters asks you if you would like to come to the Landu branch, you don't say yes or no, just answer 'obey the arrangement of the headquarters'. Of course, most of them won't ask you. ”
Liu Yangjun showed a "you know" look.
"Okay, I see."
"The final examination of the headquarters, the principle is 'strict in and wide out', it is not easy to come in, and the follow-up elimination rate is also very high.
They value the potential of their new disciples, and they don't pay much attention to how brilliant your past is.
I even wish you were a blank slate, so that it would be easier to identify with the culture and integrate into the sect.
Now it seems that it is not difficult for you to pass the final exam, but it is difficult how we got you. Liu Yangjun sighed.
"Trouble the Second Elder."
"In short, do your best, and see the will of God." The two of them had another drink.
"Boy, I won't let you go to us in vain, there is a message that can be given to you, maybe it will bring you a big opportunity.
There are still nearly four months left before the final exam, and if you are qualified, you can try your luck. ”
"Second Elder, what's a good thing?" Jin Ziming suddenly became interested.
"Jinli Mountain, about 10,000 miles east from the Blue Capital City, has recently had a golden leak.
After investigation, it is said that there is a soul cultivator of the merger period thousands of years ago who was buried there, and now there are many sects gathered there, and there are also many scattered cultivators.
It is said that the condition for entering the tomb is a soul cultivation genius under the age of thirty, and now a group of little guys are tossing and forming a team to enter there, and I will also send reinforcements today.
You can go with our people, or you can go on your own, anyway, there is a medium-sized city called Scarborough Rock City, which can be passed through the teleportation circle.
When you get there, it's up to you to decide whether to contact the people of the Landu branch, Shi Kaiqiang will lead the team over, anyway, you know each other, I'll tell him about it.
However, the latest news from this morning is that the monk can only enter if the divine soul can detect twenty miles.
I see that your registration form says that you can detect seven miles, I don't know if you have any reservations, if you can't reach twenty miles, then you don't need to go. ”
"Okay, thank you, Second Elder! I'll go back and try to see if I can quickly improve my soul power, if I do, I'll go by myself, and I'll contact Senior Brother Shi when I get there. ”
Jin Ziming replied after a moment's thought.
"After you go, don't be reckless when you encounter danger, your life is the most important. Remember, there is hope in being alive. Liu Yangjun advised.
"Okay, I understand that life is more important than chance."
"That's good."
The two chatted for a while, because there was an interview in the afternoon, Liu Yangjun took the lead in getting up and leaving, before he went out, Jin Ziming couldn't help but ask:
"Second Elder, there's one thing I'm curious about, why did you say during the interview that I had been here before?"
"There's no reason, I want to test your kid's psychological quality temporarily."
"Oh, that's right." Jin Ziming was stunned.
"Lao Ruyi" is equivalent to the canteen of the Landu branch, and the meals are all on the account, and Zhou Qi will send someone to settle the bill every half a month.
Jin Ziming walked out of the restaurant, walked along, and unconsciously came to the Jinhe River.
I picked a tea house at random, sat on a chaise longue by the weeping willow, and drank tea while contemplating.
Now his divine soul can detect a distance of nine to ten miles at most, and it is far from twenty miles, and if he wants to quickly improve his soul power, he can only use external forces.
Chen Liangchun's storage ring may have this kind of treasure in it, after all, this is a real person who has explored the small space of the outer land.
Besides, his younger brother is a soul cultivator, and the treasure on his body is likely to be in that ring, why don't you ask the second elder to help break the ban? He quickly rejected the idea.
On his body, only the remaining two and a half lotus seeds can be used to improve his soul power, although it is a bit extravagant, but anyway, it is his own consumption, and it is not a waste.
After Jin Ziming made up his mind, he immediately got up and went out of the city, found a hidden cave in the wild, and closed the entrance after drilling in.
He sat down cross-legged and began to meditate pranayama.
I remember that last time, in order to deal with the sneak attack of those five demon beasts, I ate half a soul lotus, and I was almost blown up by the surging soul power.
Now I have five times the amount in my hand, maybe it can really help me extend the detection distance to twenty miles.
Just as he was about to start trying, he suddenly remembered the soul worm in his head, and hurriedly warned with his divine thoughts:
"Little worm, I'm going to take the soul lotus to improve my soul power, and you are not allowed to devour the soul qi that you inhale for a while, otherwise I will kill you immediately."
"What, Soul Lotus! How many years? ”
"1,300 years."
"Ah, that's the best! What a waste.
If you humans don't refine it into an elixir, you won't be able to absorb 100% of the pure soul qi in it like our soul creatures.
Why don't I absorb it and give it back to you? The worm asked tentatively.
"Don't talk to me, I'm not talking to you, I'm giving you an ultimatum.
If you know each other, be honest, and if you steal food, you will be finished immediately.
Of course, if there is too much soul energy and I can't hold it, I will notify you, and then you can devour the soul energy that I can't absorb, understand? ”
"Alas, I understand, what a tyrannical thing!" The worm lamented.
After dealing with this instability, he still did not take it immediately, but continued to assess the risk.
Last time, the excess soul energy almost burst his Yuan Shen, although it was only a peak realm at that time, and it was far from now, but at that time, there were still three cat demons' divine soul attacks to consume the soul energy.
In case you need to take more soul lotus today, in the absence of the Divine Soul Cultivation Technique, you will all rely on hard bearing, even if you activate that little worm, there is still a lot of risk.
Is there any other way to consume soul energy?
At present, he has a variety of rudimentary Divine Soul cultivation methods, but according to experience, the most consumed is still the sacrificial Divine Soul weapon.
So he decided to simply refine the soul knife, and he could currently send seven swords in an instant, so try the limit number.
Once practiced, while attacking with the cold moon, with the divine soul attack, and then superimposing spells, you will definitely be able to increase your combat power again.
He took out the half of the soul lotus, held it in his mouth, and shattered it into a hundred equal parts with his luck, swallowing one of them.
Immediately, a white mist rose from his body and flew into his head.
The little worm was in the corner of the Divine Consciousness Space, and the passage he had constructed from his abdomen to the upper dantian had avoided it.
The white mist was injected rapidly along this pipe, and the upper dantian spontaneously rotated, sucking it in as it turned, and it could be seen that it was becoming more and more condensed when looking inside.
Jin Ziming began to use the newly added soul qi to refine the flying knife, and instantly transformed into seven handles, and immediately stabilized them and prevented them from dissipating.
Then began to condense the new throwing knives, the eighth handle, the ninth handle...... On the eleventh handle, the soul power immediately failed, and before he could control it, with a "bang", all the flying knives shattered and dissipated.
He swallowed the second lotus seed and did the same, this time until the thirteenth stalk, and then it collapsed.
Jin Ziming kept taking and cultivating, and as he swallowed more and more lotus seeds, the number of flying knives was slowly rising.
By the time he swallowed the ninety-fifth lotus seed, he had already been able to condense forty-nine flying knives.
At this time, he no longer went to increase the number, but used the last five lotus seeds to stabilize the soul.
Let the forty-nine knives gather but not disperse, and steadily arrange them in a seven-by-seven array, the knives are surrounded by colorful soul energy, and the tip of the knife trembles slightly, ready to fire at any time.
Seeing that there was still a remaining white mist in the upper dantian, he simply used the method when he was promoted to build the foundation in the Jiuxia Temple.
Transfiguration of the Dan Furnace, Xuan Bing and the Conduit, all the mist turned into a liquid state, and fused with his own colored soul liquid, this cultivation went smoothly, and there were no accidents, and the little insects in the corner were envious.
I only hate how this little thief was not blown up, so that he could not only absorb the food, but also regain his freedom.
Then it reacted again, "Oh, I can't blow up, or I'm going to have to be finished." ”
