When he came to the secret realm, Qi Mingchen didn't see the Sword King soul for the first time.

[It seems that the little sword will not come.] 】

He ignored the voice of the ghost and continued to comprehend the sword intent in it, this time he completed the comprehension of the three sword intents that he had originally comprehended in one go, and continued to prepare to comprehend the next one.

"Do you like swords?"

At this time, a childish voice suddenly came from my ears.

Qi Mingchen looked sideways, a cloud of red energy floated aside, obviously there was only a red cloud, but he could clearly feel the hesitation and timidity in it.

He turned to face the Sword King Soul and replied seriously, "I haven't been in contact with the sword for a long time, so I can't answer your question......

Faced with its apparently lost state, he continued: "But I am sure that I like you very much, because I know you and know you, so I am very clear about this issue. ”

The red energy mass became active, it spun around and asked, "Will we always be friends?" ”

"Of course, we'll always be good friends as long as I'm here."

"Best friend." The Sword King Soul added in a whisper, and then it remembered something, and said, "What about the Ghost Lord who called me out before?" Is it also a good friend of yours? ”

"It's not."

[It's not.] 】

They replied categorically.

At this level of tacit understanding, the soul of the Sword King was also blind, and then it continued to ask, "Then why is the ghost lord with you?" I remember that the Ghost is also the owner of a secret realm, and if it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to show up at will. ”

Qi Mingchen believed in this sentence very much, otherwise the Sword King Soul would definitely not be so easy to fool.

Besides, because of its timidity, it has never dared to show its face, and there are very few opportunities to communicate with people, if it were not for the ghost calling it out in a special way, he would not have had the opportunity to make a contract with it.

"I came across it by chance, and it caught up on its own." Qi Mingchen replied without emotion, and his tone was flat.

[I seem to be very cheap, I'm a famous ghost! 】

Faced with such an exchange, the Sword King Soul hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made up some determination, and it asked, "You really want to be friends with me, right?" ”

"That's inevitable." He nodded affirmatively.

"Then, I'm going to get out of here with you!" The Sword King Soul was afraid that he would regret it, and his voice became even louder.

Qi Mingchen showed a surprised expression and said, "I heard the ghost say that you are very afraid of the outside world, I don't want to force my friends, although I may not have much chance to come back in the future, but I will not forget you." ”

Hearing this, the Sword King Soul became even more determined, "I want to go with you, I can fuse with the sword behind you, so that the quality of the sword can change with your strength, and there will be no problem of being peeped at will!" ”

Qi Mingchen looked at it for a long time, and just when a ghost and a ghost thought that he would agree, he shook his head and said, "Although I also want to take you away, I hope you think about it carefully and don't be impulsive." ”

"I didn't rush ......"

"Ah Jian, you must think about it carefully, okay?" Qi Mingchen looked at the other party seriously and interrupted the other party's words seriously.

The Sword King's soul was very touched, and the red energy began to scurry.

"The next time I come here will be the last time I come here, and if you still want to leave with me, then we can make a contract?"

His voice is soft, and he thinks about the other person at every step.

“…… Good. The Sword King's soul shook his body and strengthened the decision in his heart.

Next, Qi Mingchen began to continue to comprehend the sword intent, there are a total of eight sword intent in fifty points, and he can get four hundred points by comprehending all of these, which should be enough for him to rank in the top twenty-four.

After he used the rest of the time to comprehend all the fifty points of sword intent, just in case, he also comprehended two or three ten points of sword intent.

Before his body disappeared, Qi Mingchen said to the red ball of energy, "See you next time, friend." ”

In the next second, he appeared in the martial arts field.

[You can obviously make a contract with the Sword King Soul just now, why don't you just agree. 】

The Ghost was puzzled by his actions.

If it made a contract with me and left me because of impulse, then it will inevitably regret it in the future, and may even resent me, and as a friend, I should give it the right to regret it.

[Why do you really think of it as a friend?] 】

Qi Mingchen: Only with sincerity can I exchange sincerity for sincerity, although it is true that there is an ulterior purpose, but every sentence is not a lie, and I am also sincerely thinking about it, right?

[You're a little scary......]

Finding the team of the Canglong Sect, he found that everyone had smiles on their faces, except for Li Ming.

"Senior Brother Qi, I didn't expect your method to be really useful, my score is nearly double that of before!" Mo Xixi said excitedly.

Huo Mian said: "Because I am about to break through, I can comprehend a fifty-point sword intent, and my ranking will definitely be stable!" ”

Romu and Nan Ruiga's expressions were also much more relaxed, and they seemed to get good scores.

Li Ming's face was very bad, because he was not convinced, so he didn't follow his way, and his score was still in a very bad state.

Qi Mingchen opened his palm and found that his ranking had appeared.

The number above has changed from four hundred and twenty-three to twenty-three, and only one place is missing from being placed in the middle formation!

He breathed a sigh of relief.

From then on, he is not ready to maintain any low-key, such an ascent rate will definitely be noticed, so low-key is useless.

"Senior Brother Qi, how many are you?" Mo Xixi leaned over and asked, she was happy because her ranking was back within three hundred, and her whole person became excited.

But when she glanced at the number on Qi Mingchen's palm, the expression on her face instantly froze and froze in place.

"What's wrong?" Luo Mu, who was not far away, also came over to take a look at this scene, and his expression became exactly the same as the person next to him, as if he was petrified.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Nan Ruijia was very incomprehensible, and walked over to take a look......

"Senior brother and sister, what happened?" Huo Mian finally walked over curiously, his eyes slowly widened while his eyes touched Qi Mingchen's palm, and then he pointed to his palm in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Two-two-two-two-twenty-three!" ”

Li Ming, who had been depressed, heard this, and hurriedly walked over and saw the number in his palm, "How is it possible, aren't you still in the outer formation for the first time?" ”

Qi Mingchen withdrew his palm and said, "I haven't had much rest recently, so before the cultivation tower opens, I'll go back and sleep first." ”

He ignored the surprised looks of the men, and walked in the direction of the courtyard.

"No, no, no, you wait a minute!" Mo Xixi stopped him, "How did you get to this ranking?" ”

Qi Mingchen saw several people surrounding him, looked at him curiously, and could only explain: "At first, I didn't know how to comprehend, but after knowing how to comprehend, it became much smoother. ”

"Is that so?" Romu was sluggish to understand what he meant, and after thinking about it, he didn't understand anything.

"Forget it, you go and rest first, and remember to talk to us before the next competition." Mo Xixi waved his hand, his expression was also a little dazed, but after seeing Qi Mingchen's slightly tired face, he still relented and asked him to go back to rest.

Qi Mingchen nodded and left the place quickly.

The recent cultivation and comprehension of the sword intent have indeed consumed a lot of his energy, and he has never rested, and he has basically not even slept.

When he returned to the yard, he didn't do anything superfluous, just lay down and began to sleep.

This break ends with the aroma of the dish wafting into the house.

Qi Mingchen opened his eyes in confusion, and soon his eyes returned to clarity.

I slept until dinner time, and although it wasn't very long, I was almost rested.

Walking out of the house, he saw Mo Xixi, who was busy stir-frying, and after seeing him, he said with a smile: "I just wanted to wake you up to eat, but I didn't expect to wake up." ”

"Because it smells good." Qi Mingchen rarely eats stir-fried vegetables, he often eats barbecued meat, or some boiled stews.

He doesn't like crowded places, and he doesn't go to the cafeteria on weekdays, so he basically doesn't have the opportunity to eat stir-fried food.

"Let's eat more!" Mo Xixi stretched out a big bowl of vegetables, then put a piece of steamed bun on it, handed it to him, and said, "It's not enough, eat slowly." ”

Qi Mingchen took the bowl, perhaps because he had just woken up, his brain was not yet clear, he ate the fragrant smell of stir-fried vegetables in his mouth, and unexpectedly felt that this atmosphere was not bad.

There is no deceit, everyone is in the same camp, although there may be small frictions and contradictions, but it will not be serious enough to hurt lives.

Even the loneliness that had always accompanied him dissipated a lot.

"How to make a stir-fry, there is no meat in it......" Li Ming's grumbling voice interrupted his thoughts.

He retracted what he had just thought, and sometimes even if they were in the same camp, it didn't mean that their hearts would be unified.

It is a gathering of people with different hearts.

Qi Mingchen finished eating the vegetables and steamed buns in three or two bites, returned the bowl to Mo Xixi, thanked him, and left the courtyard.

There was still a little time before the cultivation tower opened, and he was ready to take a stroll around the area.

After walking for a while, the management in the Sword Pavilion seemed to be relatively strict, and it was rare to see fights between disciples, or perhaps because the people who cultivated the sword were relatively cold, and they basically didn't say hello when they met, and left in a hurry and practiced separately.

I've been in the Sword Pavilion for so long, and I haven't observed it well.

The only range he can walk is the outer gate of the Sword Pavilion, and the inner door must not be able to enter, whether it is the building or the landscape here, it is very grand, as long as he walks here, his heart will unconsciously calm down.

After walking for a while, just as he felt that it was time to go back, his steps suddenly stopped.

Not far away, a beautifully dressed figure seemed to be looking for something, until he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over.

"Lord Kai! Finally found you! ”

Yuan Lu's originally gentle face became vivid because of excitement, and his cheeks were flushed.

"Why are you here?" Qi Mingchen was puzzled.
