Qian Mei'er and several others were seriously injured, and under the escort of Ling Ning, they returned to Yicheng to recuperate.

Xia Shiqing's medical skills are very good, and even the most seriously injured Wen Xin'er has no worries about her life. With Ling Ning's help, it wasn't until late at night that everyone's wounds were properly bandaged.

On the second day, Ling Ning helped the others to heal their injuries with True Yuan, and everyone's injuries gradually improved, and they were already able to walk.

Ling Ning took out the ring he had snatched from the Broken Soul and opened it to see that there were some clothes, books, pills, and spirit stones, all of which were ordinary items, like these characters with sects, treasures were generally placed in his cave mansion and would not be carried with him, but he did not have any hope of "picking up leaks".

Under careful inspection, many pills he had never seen before, and he didn't know these drugs and didn't dare to take them, so he could only throw them aside. As for the fact that most of the books are evil magic and witchcraft, he naturally disdains to learn, and the most surprising thing for him is the complete secret book of "Nether Ghost Steps", which makes him overjoyed.

As for the spirit stones, there are only more than 50,000 pieces, which can be regarded as a small receipt for him who is "poor".

On the third day, everyone only needed to recuperate, and Ling Ning came to practice outside the city alone.

In the past few days, he only felt that his true essence in the sea of qi was surging, and he was often unable to meditate, he understood that this was because he had absorbed a large amount of true essence from the soul breaker, and although he had temporarily attributed them to the sea of qi, he had not been able to completely "assimilate" them.

Beside the waterfall, listening to the sound of the "whooshing" water, Ling Ning fell silent, he let himself reach the realm of "supreme tranquility", and then ran the "Transformation Divine Decision" to drive the "True Yuan" in the body to run the "True Yuan" in the body for 72 days, and when the exercise was completed, the sky was already dark, and then all the true yuan in his sea of qi was used for his own use.

Back in the small courtyard rented by a few people in Yicheng, Su Jiu, this guy was looking at the moon on the roof and drinking. His naked upper body was wrapped in circles of gauze, and there was still the pitch-black big knife next to him, even Ling Ning had to admit that this guy was indeed very manly.

"Brother Tai has good wine, why do you drink it alone?"

Su Jiu was slightly stunned, although the two lived together for three days, they never said a few words, even if Ling Ning helped him bandage his wounds, he just simply thanked him, and even his name was not exchanged.

Su Jiu raised the wine jar next to him and motioned to him: "In that case, why don't you accompany Brother Tai?" ”

Ling Ning is also a good wine person, he jumped on the roof and raised the wine jar to "grunt" and poured several sips, only to feel that this wine is very strong, and mellow and fragrant, it is really a rare wine!

He drank to his heart's content and exclaimed, "Good wine, good wine!" I haven't seen this kind of wine in my life, so I don't know what the name of this wine is? ”

Su Jiu rarely smiled and said, "This wine is my Jiuyou wine, named 'Amber'. ”

Ling Ning looked down at the amber luster of the wine in the altar in the moonlight, and couldn't help but chant, "'Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light. It turns out that this top-notch wine doesn't have an amber color without a jade bowl, and the little brother is really insightful! ”

"It seems that Brother Tai is also a person who understands alcohol!" Su Jiu took the wine jar and drank several sips.

"It's a pity that there is only one jar of wine, otherwise you will not get drunk and return!"

"I can go out without anything, but there are two things that must be carried, do you know which two are brothers?"

"Oh? I don't know, please advise. ”

"One is my big sword, and the other is a hundred and ten jars of wine!"

"Wonderful, Brother Tai is really a hero in the world, the younger brother admires it, and I don't know Brother Tai's name?"

"In the Lower Nine Shadows, Su Jiu!"

"Brother Su is fortunate to be in the ...... In the next ......, he hesitated slightly whether to tell his real name, but remembered that Qian Meier had already blurted out his name in front of everyone, so why did he hide it anymore?

Before he could speak, Su Jiu said: "When I first arrived in the Mortal Dust Continent, I heard that the Sword Ling Sect has a proud son of heaven named Ling Ning, but this person has been expelled from the sect for betraying the sect and killing his father, I don't know if Brother Tai knows?" ”

Ling Ning sighed and said with a wry smile: "I know I can't hide it from you, what Brother Su said is right, that person is exactly below." However, he did not do such a hurtful thing, this is an unwarranted frame-up! ”

Su Jiu nodded and said, "Brother Ling, I don't know if it's appropriate to say something below." ”

"Brother Su, please speak."

"The eldest husband stands between heaven and earth, he should be honorable and happy, so why hide his head and show his tail and dare not use his real name and surname? Even if the enemy finds it, we just fight to the death, and it's better than stealing our lives! Besides, Brother Ling's cultivation could have already run rampant in the Mortal Dust Continent, so why should he be afraid? ”

Ling Ning's eyes lit up, and he shouted with the strength of his wine, "Exactly, exactly!" I'm Ling Ning, not Ah Qi! Sooner or later, one day I will avenge my father! ”

"That's the real man! Come on, do it! ”

Su Jiu was originally extremely silent, but he respected the powerful people first, and secondly, he drank a few more sips of wine, so he talked a lot. The two were very speculative about their age, chatting for half a night, and then went back to their rooms to sleep after the wine was rising.

Early the next morning, Ling Ning first went to visit Qian Mei'er, who was still recuperating from her injuries, but she didn't expect Xia Shiqing and Wen Xin'er to be there.

Wen Xin'er lost too much blood, and her face was still pale, but her spirit had recovered a lot.

She quipped: "I don't know if I should call you Ah Qi or Ling Gongzi?" ”

Ling Ning smiled awkwardly, obviously they had heard the yelling last night.

"Miss Xin'er said and laughed, there will be no Ah Qi from now on, only Ling Ning!"

Xia Shiqing said: "Ling Gongzi, I don't believe that you are the one who killed your father and betrayed your teacher, there must be something else hidden in this matter." Thank you for your kindness, I owe you a life, and he will definitely help him if he needs it! ”

Ling Ning had a burst of complicated emotions in his heart, he had always been burdened with the responsibility of "killing his father and betraying the family", and now there were finally people besides Qian Mei'er who were willing to believe him, which was enough to make people feel greatly moved.

Qian Mei'er quietly grimaced at him and whispered, "I've always believed in you!" ”

This made Ling Ning's heart warm again.

After bidding farewell to his daughters, he went out of the city again to practice.

Placing the stone sword across his lap, he recalled "Shattered Star, Starfall", which was a move that he naturally used after listening to the sound of the stone sword, and it could be said that it was self-created. He reminisced about what he had learned in the past, and as he tweaked the style, he tried to create new moves. But how difficult it was to create his own moves, he thought about it for five days in a row without achieving anything, so he could only calm down in order to listen to the sound of the stone sword again.

Since that "master", the stone sword has been silent. He reversely practiced the formula of "Broken Star Star Fall", and when the "Stone Sword" was unsealed into "Broken Star", although the power increased dramatically, the consumption of True Yuan also doubled.

He could only forcibly control the consumption of the true element in order to maintain it for a longer time, and in the state of "Shattered Star", the emotions conveyed by the sword body were clearer, and he suddenly understood that if he wanted to hear the sound of the stone sword again, he could only achieve a higher level of cultivation.

The self-"closure" of the "stone sword" is obviously due to the fact that he himself is too weak to support this consumption of it.

After cultivating the "Transformation Divine Decision", the amount of true yuan in his body increased dramatically, so he could withstand the consumption of the stone sword, so he was qualified to hear the sound of the stone sword. With his current true yuan, maintaining this state and doing nothing can only last for half an hour, which is too far from maintaining it for a long time.

On the fifteenth, Su Jiu finally couldn't bear the loneliness, although his injuries were not all healed, he could still act as usual. He followed Ling Ning to the waterfall, and the two of them practiced cross-legged across the stream. Although they are not affected, both of them are secretly competing.

On the sixteenth day, the two finally couldn't bear to fight each other, but in order to avoid mutual injury, although the two swords intersected, they did not use the true yuan, but just tried the moves like ordinary martial artists.

Su Jiu's big knife attack opened and closed, like a clumsy and ingenious, like a surging river! And Ling Ning's swordsmanship was mainly fierce, but unfortunately he could only retreat under the opponent's strong attack. Moreover, this Su Jiu was born with divine power, and the big sword weighed a hundred catties, under such a steady stream of attacks, Ling Ning could only grit his teeth and insist!

But this high-intensity attack also stimulated the powerful potential of Ling Ning's body, although his body was several times stronger after the baptism of the "Transformation Divine Decision", it still contained strong potential, but he was not an expert in "refining the body", so it could not be stimulated. Under Su Jiu's "strong destruction" for more than ten days, the potential in his physical body finally awakened, and his divine power came spontaneously!

"Ding!"

The swords intersected, and under Su Jiu's tough attack, this was the first time that Ling Ning had completely parried this thunderous blow! Su Jiu was slightly surprised, the endless back-moves were like monstrous waves coming one by one, but Ling Ning chose to parry them one by one without hesitation!

The sound of "ding" is non-stop!

If Su Jiu's attack was a continuous surging river, then Ling Ning's long sword was the Taishan Boulder, the Dinghai Divine Needle! Wherever his sword moves went, the river immediately stopped, and he couldn't take half an inch anymore!

The two of them fought vigorously, and they simply didn't go back to Yicheng, and they drank and realized the Tao by the stream at night compared to the trial tricks during the day.

On the twenty-fifth day, Ling Ning finally stopped taking half a step back, his strength was actually on par with Su Jiu! But he couldn't repel Su Jiu, and the two were at a stalemate!

On the thirtieth day, Ling Ning finally realized a trick from the waterfall!

He slashed out with a sword, slammed it the broadsword, and then took advantage of his body to take off into the air, spinning in the air for a circle and slashing with another sword! Followed by the third, third, and fifth...... He spun wildly like a big windmill, slashing at Su Jiu's big sword with a sword!

This was the first time Su Jiu had been forced to defend, he was subjected to the impact of sword after sword, like a boulder under a waterfall being hit by the current, and finally, he took a step back!

"Drink!"

The two separated abruptly, and Su Jiu's face changed slightly: "What's the name of this move?" ”

"Shattered Stars: Thousand Heavy Waves Break!"

Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is quite good to be able to force Su Jiu back without using the true element. According to his vision, he will not only use the power of rotation in the air, but also gather many forces such as wrist strength, arm strength, and waist strength to pour out the true element at the moment of slashing, and the faster he rotates in the air, the more the true element output, the stronger the power, until the enemy is completely destroyed!

After another three days, Su Jiu fully recovered, and the two of them no longer used force, but discussed the mystery of sword techniques and sword moves. When Ling Ning talked about how he "listened to the sound of the sword", Su Jiu was silent, he had not thought of "listening" to the sound of the sword so far, which gave him a new understanding.

On the thirty-fifth day, the two of them cultivated separately, and Su Jiu seemed to really "hear" the sound of the big knife, and the whole person seemed to become more deep.

On this day, Ling Ning received a message from Qian Mei'er that Xia Shiqing and Wen Xin'er's injuries had completely healed, and the day of farewell had arrived.

At that moment, the two returned to Yicheng, and the two stayed in the wild for 20 days, and their bodies had long been foul-smelling, like savages, and only after some grooming and dressing up did they come out to see the women.

Qian Meier is already familiar with Xia and Wen, and she is sorry to say goodbye.

"Sister Xia, Xin'er, you have to be careful, remember to return to the sect to send me a message."

"Mei'er, you too, by the way, Ling Ning, do you want to consider worshipping my Xiangzhu Mansion......"

"Stinky girl! Shut up......"

"Hahaha, so charming, I'm just joking with you, where do you dare to rob people with you?"

Ling Ning saw them playing, so he said to Su Jiu, "Brother Su, what are your plans?" ”

"I'm going to go to the Nine Shadows of the Mortal Dust Continent, I got the instructions of the master to continue the in-depth investigation, and after staying here for so long, it's time to leave."

Xia Shiqing still looked cold, and she said, "I always feel that the matter of Jiuyou is not so simple...... We're going to go back as soon as possible, so if you need anything else, please feel free to send us a message! ”

Wen Xin'er said: "What about you, Mei'er? Is it a backwater moon? ”

Qian Mei'er said: "Yes, I haven't been back for a long time, this time I went back with Xiao Ning, and by the way, I introduced him to Shuiyuetian." ”

Wen Xin'er knew that this was the case, but she couldn't help but say: "Then congratulations to Shui Yuetian for having another 'Tianjiao'!" Brother Ling, I don't thank you for saving my life, if he is a water moon day...... Hey...... Feel free to come to Xiangzhu Mansion! ”

"I'm willing to open the door ...... Jiuyou"

"Hey, hey, don't be so robbing!"

A few people joked a few words, and after exchanging exquisite jade, they separated.

Qian and Ling went to Shui Yuetian, and the two of them were very comfortable talking and laughing along the way.

Three days later, the two of them came to the foot of the Water Moon Heavenly Peak.

Along the way, some disciples had already noticed them, Qian Mei'er was obviously very popular in Shuiyuetian, and many female disciples came to talk to her cordially, and she was also complacent, chattering non-stop.

The women of Shui Yuetian accounted for the vast majority, and most of the men were outer disciples, so they were rarely seen in the main peak. A group of female disciples surrounded Qian Mei'er and asked questions, naturally they also secretly pointed at Ling Ning, although Ling Ning was uncomfortable, she could only endure it.

Everyone walked halfway up the mountain, and Qian Mei'er said, "Xiao Ning, you wait here." If you go up, non-Shuiyue Heavenly disciples are not allowed to enter, and when I enter to tell the sect master, I will lead you up. ”

Ling Ning nodded, and waited in the pavilion halfway up the mountain.

About an hour or so, a group of disciples came down from the mountain hulala, Ling Ning also said that it was Qian Mei'er, but he didn't expect that the leader was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. This young man was wearing a pale pink robe, he looked like a jade tree in the wind, and he was graceful, and he also brought many young female disciples, obviously because he was quite popular because of his handsome appearance.

He raised his chin towards Ling Ning and said unceremoniously, "Your name is Ling Ning?" ”

Ling Ning nodded.

The young man smiled, noticed the stone sword beside him, and said, "You can also use the sword?" ”

These two sentences were extremely polite, but at this moment, Ling Ning's heart was already much calmer, so naturally he would not bother with him.

"I don't dare to say words, I just understand a little."

"Good." The pink-clothed young man's face turned cold, and he said, "Do the outcasts of the Sword Ling Sect also want me to take them in Shui Yuetian?" What if he betrays me again in the future? If a person of bad character like you has the slightest conscience, he should kill himself! Actually licking your face to come to my water moon? I really don't know how to write the word 'ashamed'? ”

Hearing him say this, the female disciples around him also applauded.

"It's really shameless, you dare to come to my water moon!"

"That's right, I don't know why Mei'er likes him?"

"Yes, where is our young sect master young and promising......"

"Who knows what rhetoric was used to deceive Mei'er......"

Ling Ning was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't get angry at all. He already understood that the young man in front of him must have admired Qian Mei'er very much, so he did not hesitate to speak ill of him, trying to force him to leave, but how could he do what the other party wanted?

"I don't know who your Excellency is? Can you represent the water moon day? ”

"Hmph, I'm Luo Yan, it's Shui Yuetian's personal disciple, I advise you to roll down the mountain honestly, otherwise don't blame you!"

He suddenly released a coercive breath, and an invisible pressure surged towards Ling Ning.

Ling Ning didn't expect that this guy's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the late stage of the Zhudan period, and it seemed that he was a little proud of his capital, but unfortunately he couldn't look down on this strength at all.

Luo Yan had already learned from Qian Mei'er that Ling Ning's cultivation was not high, and he released the coercion to humiliate the other party, if the other party couldn't bear it and knelt down in front of him, it would be ideal, but he didn't expect that no matter how he released the coercion, the other party was just like no one, and there was no other reaction except for the fluttering of long hair at the corners of his clothes.

"Your Excellency, put away the coercion, such little tricks don't work for me. Even if I want to leave, I have to wait for Mei'er to tell me in person. ”

"Mei'er is also your name? You stinky boy, don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink! ”

In front of so many female disciples, how could he lose face? He took a step forward and was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard a person behind him shouting: "Yan'er, don't be rude!" ”

He was slightly stunned, then turned around and saluted, "Welcome Sect Master!" ”
