Hearing this, Xu Lan fell into deep thought,

Isn't Sun Hongying's situation tantamount to falling into a dead end?

If left unchecked, the other consciousness in Sun Hongying's body will erode herself little by little, and in the end she will no longer be her.

But if Sun Hongying wants to wipe out the other consciousness in her body, she must use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

But as long as the catastrophe of heaven and man comes, the probability of surviving the catastrophe of heaven and man is almost zero because of her situation.

Both horizontally and vertically are dead.

"The Tribulation of Heaven and Man, what does it look like?"

Xu Lan asked curiously,

Could it be that he landed thunder and turned into a catastrophe as he imagined?

"Each person's cultivation path is different, and the calamities they experience from heaven and man are also very different."

Chen Ci shook his head and said, "I haven't done much research on this aspect. ”

In terms of cliché nature, she doesn't like to plan ahead too early.

Now she is only in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Three Realms, and she is still early before the catastrophe of heaven and man.

"Well, it seems that Sun Hongying is probably going to be disappointed."

Xu Lan said softly: "The inheritance in the cave mansion has long been on me. ”

"Actually, no matter what, her fate will not change."

Chen Ci said softly: "The catastrophe of heaven and man is the condensation of the great power of heaven and earth, and it is definitely not a trick that can be circumvented. ”

The implication is already very obvious,

Even if the inheritance falls into the hands of Sun Hongying, it can't change the ending.

"Who knows what hasn't happened."

Xu Lan stretched his waist and said, "If nothing else, she will come to me." ”

Sun Hongying is not stupid,

Once she discovers that the inheritance in the cave is missing, then the first person she suspects will inevitably be herself.

When the time comes, with Sun Hongying's ingenuity,

It is easy to guess that the inheritance in the cave has long been in his hands.

By that time,

Sun Hongying had to ask for herself again.

"I may not have been there then."

Chen Ci was silent for a moment, and then said: "In about ten days, I will return to Beijing with the people from the Yamen." ”

Ten days later, the officials of the Qingzhou Yamen will return to Beijing to report on their work, and Chen Ci, who is the Hanging Mirror Division, should also return to Beijing.

"I almost forgot, you're from the Hanging Mirror Division."

Xu Lan smiled: "Have you ever thought about staying in Qingzhou?" ”

Speech: ......

What does Xu Lan mean by this?

In an instant, countless thoughts passed through my mind.

Chen Ci looked down at the shadows of the two people reflected on the ground, and was silent for a long time.

In the end, Chen Ci did not answer this question, and Xu Lan did not continue to ask.

Back to Xu's house,

Xu Lan does not have the habit of practicing swords late at night,

So simply wash up and lie down and fall asleep.

As for the Chen Ci in the courtyard next door, he was lying on the bed looking at the roof for a long time and couldn't close his eyes.

's mind is full of Xu Lan's sentence "Have you ever considered staying in Qingzhou..."

The second day dawned,

Xu Lan had already appeared in the courtyard with a sword and started today's sword practice.

Since the Qian family was destroyed, every morning to noon,

The people of the entire Xu Mansion knew that this was the time for their young master to practice martial arts.

And so the three days passed,

Xu Lan's attitude of insisting on practicing swords day after day made Chen Ci admire.

Cultivation itself is a very boring thing, not to mention that Xu Lan's cultivation process is different from others.

His practice of the sword,

It's a sword swing that is repeated again and again.

Although the rhetoric is incomprehensible,

But this does not prevent her from feeling that Xu Lan is a person with great perseverance.

Sometimes she thinks that just watching Xu Lan swing his sword again and again is actually a pretty good thing.

After all, if you practice, the sweat on your body will wet Xu Lan's robe.

At this time, Xu Lan would take off his shirt and continue to practice swords with his upper body naked.

"I should be able to swing the sword 20,000 times today, I wonder if there will be a reward?"

Xu Lan thought to himself while swinging his sword,

When you swing your sword a hundred times, swing your sword a thousand times, and swing your sword ten thousand times, you trigger three rewards respectively.

At this rate, the next reward should be 100,000 swings.

From 0 to a hundred times, very quickly.

From a hundred to a thousand, very quickly.

From a thousand times to ten thousand times, very quickly.

But going from 10,000 to 100,000 times takes a long time.

Xu Lan calculated in his heart,

Based on his current speed of 3,000 swings a day, 100,000 swings would take about a month.

The interval between the two is too long,

He felt a little unreasonable.

So he guessed that when he swung his sword 20,000 times, he should trigger the reward again.

Of course, whether it can be done still needs to be practiced.

Even if he couldn't trigger the reward at 20,000 sword swings, Xu Lan wouldn't be too disappointed.

It's a big deal, just swing the sword 100,000 times in half a month!

"+1 sword swings, 19990 sword swings so far."

"+1 sword swings, 19991 sword swings so far."

"+1 number of sword swings, the cumulative number of sword swings is 19992 so far."

...

"+1 for the number of sword swings, and the cumulative number of sword swings is 20,000 so far."

"Swing your sword 10,000 times, and you've earned the [Edgeworth Technique]!"

Finally, at noon,

Under the scorching sun, Xu Lan swung his sword 20,000 times.

Xu Lan, who was sweating profusely, also stopped the movements in his hand,

Qingluan on the side walked over with a wet towel and carefully wiped Xu Lan's upper body.

I was used to this scene, and I just glanced at it lightly and continued to lean against the pillar, not knowing what I was thinking.

"As I expected..."

A burst of ecstasy surged in Xu Lan's heart,

The reward for the second swing of the sword also verified his guess.

In the next 30,000 swings, 40,000 swings... And so on, and he'll be rewarded again!

And then closed his eyes and thought for a moment,

He had some understanding of the [Edgeworth Technique] he had just obtained.

Edgeworth, as the name suggests, is a method of Edgeworth.

What is the Edgeworth in the air, the Edgeworth, etc., are all basic operations, but the amount of True Qi consumed is different...

At least with Xu Lan's current cultivation, he can't do it, but he can try the simplest sword!

Suddenly, he looked at Chen Ci, who was standing not far away, and his heart moved slightly when he saw the long sword hanging from her waist.

The true qi in the body flowed rapidly, directly urging the Imperial Sword Technique!

"Huh?"

At the same time, Chen Ci seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at the long sword at his waist.

The sword body trembled continuously, and it seemed that a nameless force was drawing its own sword!

But the next moment, Chen Ci put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the sword body no longer trembled.

Everything is back to business as usual.

And Xu Lan also retracted his gaze at this time,

At the moment when Chen Ci held the hilt of the sword just now, he had the illusion that he was shaking the mountain.

"Is it because Chen Ci's cultivation is higher than mine?"
