Verse 20

"Huang Tingguo!" Kong Li was surprised, sensing that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly covered his mouth, whispering and condensing gossip, "It is said that one piece of food can increase for ten years of cultivation, and it can even ignore the bottleneck of the small realm." ”

The peace of the small realm is not to practice qi to build a spiritual platform to build a foundation, but to improve the middle stage of qi training in the early stage of qi training, and to ascend to the high stage of qi training in the middle stage, such a small realm, for monks who are not talented in spiritual roots, only a small realm can be stuck for decades, or even a lifetime, and it is inevitable that they will fight.

"How do we know that the fruit was picked in advance?" The person at the head shrugged his shoulders, he looked indifferent, raised his thick eyebrows, and became more and more sharp and mean, "Come on, people are not dead, we have untied our spirit talismans, and none of us will offend anyone." ”

The male cultivator took two deep breaths repeatedly, and was whispered by his companion twice, then he was unwilling to pinch the trick, and with the charm murmuring, everyone found that the chests of those people in the hall were shining with spiritual light, and a blue talisman appeared, the talisman had a strange pattern, and with the talisman was heard, the talisman turned into ashes and scattered.

A few people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the side room, skimmed the three of them again, and left with a laugh.

It was not good to stay in the ancient medical hall for long, and a few people from Zhao Ning also went out.

Standing at the door, Kong Li let out a breath, "I never thought that I would come to the Ancient Medicine Hall and experience such a scene, and it was really ...... I can't say it, I can't say it. ”

She looked like an old man with vicissitudes of life, and was slapped on the back of the head by her grandfather.

She said coquettishly, "Grandpa, am I not right?" You look at the posture on both sides, if that male cultivator hadn't secretly cast the spirit rune, he would definitely be assassinated by those people in the Spirit Mist Forest, and there would be no thousands of miles to send people to the Ancient Medicine Hall. ”

Zhao Ning also felt strange, "Listening to their words, that talisman is just an ordinary spirit talisman, how can it be so powerful." "Zhao Ning doesn't know much about the talisman, but the Shu Ling Talisman has been seen by the Baiyun Immortal Master, and without him, it is often used to catch ghosts." I heard Sister Xiaoli say that Grandpa Kong is also a person who paints talismans, so I think I must understand the key to this. ”

Kong Nan stroked his beard, "The old man is just a superficial technique, and the paintings are all ordinary dansha talismans, and that person's talisman uses ancient cloud patterns, which contain mysterious powers." ”

"Ancient moire?"

"In ancient times, the moire was written to be a true collection, and the words had the ability to reach the sky, and now the moire is gradually lost, and only a few words are still remembered by the great sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the person wants to come to have some relationship with the great sect. The monks who had been assassinated seemed to be about to receive retribution. ”

Chapter 043

After the ancient medical hall, the grandson of the Kong family took Zhao Ning to walk in Guiyuan City, and in the evening, Zhao Ning invited the two to go to the Baiwei Building next to the central square to eat.

Kong Li swallowed his saliva and endured his refusal, "Don't worry, these spiritual foods are precious, and you need ten lower-grade spirit stones for a meal." ”

Zhao Ning smiled and didn't say much, but led the way straight to Baiwei Building, this time he exchanged three thousand-year-old ginseng for five hundred spirit stones, and there were still spirit stones for a meal.

Kong Li sat in the private room of Baiwei Building with some excitement, "I have lived in Guiyuan City for more than ten years, and I have smelled the fragrance of spiritual objects in the central square for a few years, and I have never had the courage to step into here, Sister Zhaoning, you are really a good person." ”

Kong Nan coughed lightly, grabbed his granddaughter who didn't care about her image, and said to Zhao Ning, "It was Miss Zhao Ning who helped me save Xiao Li, and it was just a trivial matter to take the benefactor to visit Guiyuan City, but it made the benefactor break Fei Lingshi." The old man was ashamed. ”

"Where is Grandpa Kong, Zhao Ning has just arrived, and it all depends on Grandpa Kong and Sister Xiaoli to be familiar with Guiyuan City, so that they will not be at a loss." Zhao Ning beckoned the two of them to taste the spiritual food, "This spiritual food can be seen in the royal palace banquet I have seen in the ordinary world, it is still fragrant and attractive, let's try it together." ”

This came and went, the grandson of the Kong family did not shirk it, Kong Li ate and called it delicious, simply let go, taste some to his heart's content, Kong Nan also nodded while eating, Zhao Ning only felt that this spiritual food and spiritual meat were in the mouth, each flavor entered the throat, and the aftertaste was endless, and there was a faint soft aura in the intestines, chewing and chewing, he began to think, should he ask for some spiritual food seeds to be sent to the Silent Spirit Mansion to plant.

Halfway through dinner, I saw the noise outside the window, but I saw that many of the monks who were setting up stalls in the central square gathered somewhere, and in the center of the gathering were two monks wearing moon-white robes, and the monks didn't dare to get too close, and Zhao Ning could easily see that the two people had the same symbol on their moon-white robes.

"These two people are from the sect?"

Kong Li probe, "It's Danling Valley!" ”

She was excited again, and beckoned to her grandfather hurriedly, "Grandpa, someone from Danling Valley is here, could it be that Danling Valley has recruited disciples ahead of schedule this year?" ”

It was rare to see Kong Nan also excited, one old and one young leaning around the window, staring at the square with a good look, not only them, but the windows of the pavilion near the square were opened, and each window poked a few heads.

Kong Nandao, "Counting the days of previous years, Danling Valley recruits disciples every ten years, it should be half a year later, will it be something else?" ”

Danling Valley is one of the four ancient sects of the Kunxu Cultivation True Realm that has been inherited for nearly 10,000 years, and it is no wonder that the surrounding monks were excited, and Zhao Ning was infected by the atmosphere, and they also stood up and took two steps closer to the window.

I saw two Danling Valley disciples walked straight to the front of the competition platform, they pinched the trick with both hands, and jointly played a spiritual light, the spiritual light shot into the middle of the competition platform, the light exploded in mid-air, and the spiritual light flowed on the competition platform, and a huge Danding appeared, which seemed to be different from the ordinary Danding, as if it was only similar to the Danding, and there was no function of Danding alchemy.

"It's Qingdanding !!" Kong Li was even more excited, and kept shaking his grandfather beside him, Kong Nan was so tossed and laughed heartily, "It's really ahead of schedule." ”

The aura on the mid-air competition platform did not enter the Danding, and a small cyan seal appeared on the Ding.

"Immortal Order."

The disciples of the Two Dan Spirit Valley turned around and clenched their fists towards the group of people gathered in the central square.

"Danling Valley recruits immortals once every ten years, and the disciples of Shangjia are looking for spiritual roots to enter the sect, and tomorrow, the two of us are waiting here."

The steady voices of the two spread around the central square, and in an instant the square opened up in an instant.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I don't know how many places there are this year, my heart of cultivation is firm, if we win, we will be disciples of the ancient sect!"

Zhao Ning was silent, a little puzzled in his heart, during the day, Kong Li was still sad that the big sect only recruited disciples with excellent spiritual roots, not to mention the three spiritual roots, Zhao Ning thought that Kong Li's spiritual roots were similar to her, how could she have expectations for a few places first, but she didn't mention anything about the spiritual roots.

It's just that it's hard to ask these words, so Zhao Ning has to be silent.

But Zhao Ning's silence does not mean that the noise in the central square will be the same as hers.

In the midst of the noise, several voices were extremely distinct.

"Two senior brothers, this monk with good spiritual roots is one in a thousand, all of us know that it is not easy to find in this Guiyuan City, you don't need to say more, it is better to announce that Danling Valley will accept a few ancient Dao disciples today."

"Yes, yes, we don't care about the spiritual root, and we don't care about being ascetics, we have a firm Dao heart, and we just want to enter the sect, so quickly tell us how many places the ancient Dao monks have."

“……”

For a while, the whole square was in an uproar.

Zhao Ning seemed to have gained a hint of enlightenment in the noise, "Ancient Dao disciple, is it a path of cultivation that does not emphasize spiritual roots like medical cultivation?" ”

Kong Nan listened to the voice and told Zhao Ning with a smile, "Exactly, the way of the spiritual root is both strong and fast, although the spiritual root is the most important, but the transformation of the spiritual qi into true qi is extremely strong in the three thousand avenues, and the cultivation can be broken through by borrowing pills or heavenly materials and earth treasures, which is the only way to be established by the great power." It's just that it is rumored that it is extremely difficult for the Linggen Avenue to ascend, as for why, no one knows, the ancient road does not value the spiritual root, but the true qi is weak, and there are many bottlenecks, but it is heard that there is an ancient power to soar, but this has passed hundreds of thousands of years, and only a few ancient Dao methods remain in the great sects, and the treasures of heaven and earth are difficult to find, I am afraid that it is hopeless than the Linggen Avenue to soar. Although the great sect attaches great importance to the spiritual root avenue, it can't bear to break the inheritance of the ancient path exercises, so a few places will be released every ten years. ”

Zhao Ning listened to him, and looked at the excitement of the monks in the central square, "Then why are they so ......?"

"Zhao Ning, you won't save the country." Kong Li turned sideways excitedly and looked at Zhao Ning with a slight accusation, "Looking forward to the number of disciples of the Ancient Dao is just to enter the sect, when I get to the sect, if I don't cultivate the ancient path and continue to specialize in the spiritual root avenue, the sect will not be able to force us." Besides, some of these senior brothers also entered the sect in this way. ”

Zhao Ning was a little stunned, who would have thought that there would be such a roundabout method, but he also understood that the three thousand disciples who entered the sect may not be able to get the orthodox inheritance, but after entering the sect, the resources, exercises, treasures, spirit stones and spiritual weapons are all easier than scattered cultivation, who cares what entered the sect in the first place.

Zhao Ning was silent, should this be said that their cultivation heart is firm or impure?

But I have to say that Zhao Ning, as a miscellaneous spirit root, looked at the opportunity that the great sect was clearly placed there, and he was a little hesitant.

The voices of the crowd gradually increased, but the two disciples of Danling Valley in front of the stage did not look very good-looking, and even had a little hesitation to speak.

"Say it quickly!"

"How many places are there?"

"I've been waiting for almost ten years!"

"Danling Valley is to test me with the path of conscience this time, and I will also decide this quota!"

"Say it!!"

"Say!!"

The two disciples were forced to speak, and one took a half step forward.

"In accordance with the order of the valley lord of Danling Valley, we will not accept ancient path talent disciples today."

As soon as he said this, he and the other person retreated a few steps in succession, until they retreated to the side of Qingdan Ding.

"What?!" Kong Li almost fell from the window in shock, Kong Nan grabbed her with a solemn face, and when Kong Li turned back again, she was already in tears, and her joy turned to great sorrow, Kong Li could barely react, "Isn't there at least one every time?" If it is tested, I am willing, why didn't I even give it a chance this time, grandpa, are we destined to miss the big sect? ”

Kong Nan hugged his sad granddaughter and forcibly comforted him, "Don't be sad, this Qingdan Valley doesn't want us, there are other three major sects." It's okay, it's okay, don't cry anymore. ”

Xu is Zhao Ning has just entered the cultivation realm, he has experienced a lot in one day, and he is emotionally tired, but he can't afford to be happy and sad in this news, only a pair of calm eyes, staring at the central square outside the window without blinking, and the doubts on the square are about to open a layer of stone roads.

But fortunately, the two disciples of Danling Valley had already prepared, driving the Qingdanding, and a circle of cyan light curtains spread out, no matter how excited the monks in the square were, no matter how much they wanted to burst out, they didn't touch the hem of the Danling Valley disciples' clothes.

After a long time of commotion, the scattered cultivators in the central square were discouraged, and there was no excessive anger, Xu was like Kong Nan comforting his granddaughter, Danling Valley does not want the ancient road, then the master will go to the other three major sects, Danling Valley alone has to go?

The two disciples of Danling Valley wiped the sweat that did not exist, and the two glanced at each other, and then raised their voices, "This matter is discussed between the sect master of the valley and the major elders, although the ancient Dao monks are not in the quota, the spiritual root qualifications can be let go of some, if it is three spiritual roots and above, they can come here for a preliminary test." ”

This mallet is a sweet date, some people are happy and sad, some people are happy and sad, and some people are happy and sad, and it is chaotic and abnormal for a while.

Kong Li cried in Kong Nan's arms again, without him, she was the latter, sad and sad, powerless to resist, but how a twenty-eight-year-old girl could bear it.

"Sister Xiaoli." Zhao Ning tried to comfort her, but she couldn't find the right words for a while, it seemed that she was also a sad and sad person.

Kong Nan sighed, hugged Kong Li and stood up, "Little girl Shen, I'm afraid Xiaoli will be very sad this time, the old man will take her home slowly, I'm afraid this meal of spiritual food will be wasted, the old man will take Xiaoli to apologize another day." By the way, Miss Shen doesn't have a place to go in Guiyuan City, so it's better to go to live in the old man's house, the family is poor but she can also build a bed, if Miss Shen doesn't dislike it, let's go together. ”

"Don't Lao Kong, Grandpa." Zhao Ning shook her head, she still had a medicinal bath every day, and it was inconvenient for her left and right, "I want to live permanently, I have to find a place to live if I say anything, it's still early, I can still find a place to live." ”

Kong Nan glanced at him, nodded and sighed, "The little girl is younger than Xiao Li, but she is alone. The old man can't help Miss Shen with big things, but if he can do it, the old man and his granddaughter will do it. Our family lives in the southeast corner, and Miss Shen can find a place to live, so she can come to the humble room to sit. ”

Chapter 044

At night, Zhao Ning found an inn in Guiyuan City and set up a small courtyard.

The price of the small courtyard is expensive, and five lower-grade spirit stones are needed overnight, which is simply a waste of blood and sweat for ordinary casual cultivation.

There are only three small courtyards in the inn, one is set by several sect disciples, and the other is close to the alley, so Zhao Ning chose a quieter and slightly remote courtyard.

The innkeeper had already prepared the soup, Zhao Ning took out a small jade bottle from the Silent Spirit Mansion, and dripped a few drops of turquoise liquid into the hot soup, the liquid fainted, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted away.

The liquid in this jade bottle is a concentrated liquid made of various medicinal materials according to the recipe of washing tendons and cutting the marrow, these medicinal materials are carefully cultivated in the East Side Palace, the quality is extremely high, and the year is enough, any one of them is a priceless treasure in the mundane, and it is also a good thing for low-level monks in the cultivation world.

The medicinal liquid concentrated by countless rare medicines is extremely strong, even if Zhao Ning has cultivated into the Tao and is not diluted, this medicinal bath is not a good thing for washing tendons and cutting the marrow, but a venom for breaking tendons and pulling the marrow.

Zhao Ning took off his clothes, dressed in small clothes, meditated cross-legged in the potion, and practiced the secret transmission of the six spiritual sources of Taixu, the medicinal power penetrated into the skin bit by bit, and the translucent complexion was flushed for a while, and sweat fell from his forehead on the delicate collarbone.

Zhao Ning closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, feeling that the meridians in her body seemed to be eroded by a thousand ants, she quickly changed her technique, and her qi came out of the spiritual acupoint and slowly merged into the seven meridians and eight veins, and the discomfort weakened slightly.

The medicated bath lasted for half an hour, and there were some stains oozing from the skin, which were not too obvious, and the turquoise color of the medicated bath had completely faded, Zhao Ning opened his eyes, looked around his body, and washed away the impurities on his skin little by little, but he felt strange in his heart.

"In the past month or so, I have entered the mountains of the Xiuzhen Realm, and I have not had the opportunity to take a medicinal bath, why are there not many impurities of heaven and earth spiritual qi in the body?"

"It's very different from the mundane medicinal bath, the aura of heaven and earth in the cultivation realm is really much purer."

Zhao Ning suddenly remembered that he had bought a lot of books in the introduction of common sense in the cultivation realm at the bookstore during the day, so he simply withdrew the medicinal bath, put on his clothes and returned to the bedroom, and sat on the couch to look through those books.

Zhao Ning was looking at a book called "Kyushu Mainland Chronicles", the book is very thin, but it is quite strange to say, the cloud in the book-

The continent of Kyushu is tens of millions of square meters, bounded by the sea of heavenly moat and mist, and has been a land of its own for millions of years.

Millions of years ago are not examinable, only know that there are heavens and men who opened the world, there are gods and men who burned themselves to protect Kyushu, and there are countless powers that shatter the void and step on the universe, this era is called ancient.

About 100,000 years, the sky shattered and the earth melted, the heavenly demons took the opportunity to erode the continent, the strange aurora shone on Kyushu, thousands of living beings disappeared, and the shadow of death lasted for several years, until the great power made up for the sky, sealed the demons, and finally restored Kyushu, this era was the beginning of antiquity.

After that, the living beings got a glimmer of life in the great destruction, and recovered their prosperity for tens of thousands of years, but after the great destruction, the spiritual energy in the hinterland of Kyushu was exhausted, and only the spiritual veins in the thousands of mountains survived, and the human race also collapsed due to the great destruction, and the people who practiced the avenue were insignificant, and over time, the people who cultivated the immortals and the mortals gradually distanced themselves, and the immortal cultivators hid in the mountains and forests, and the mortals forgot the Taoist system in less than a hundred years of life, and gradually formed the trend of Kyushu today.

There are very few descriptions of ancient and ancient times in the book, and more of them introduce the general trend of Kyushu over the past 100,000 years, saying that Kyushu is divided into nine major cultivation realms, and the nine major cultivation realms are secretly linked to the sixteen mundane powers in the hinterland of Kyushu, and they are fighting with each other for Taoism, spiritual veins, resources, etc.

Until three thousand years ago, a great power was born, stopping the chaos in the world, creating the Spiritual Root Dao, and the Nine Great Cultivation Realms followed this Dao as the orthodox Dao at the same time, and began to focus on cultivating Tianjiao, impacting the high-grade Jindan, no longer fighting, and temporarily achieving harmony.

After that, there is a superficial introduction to the various cultivation realms in Kyushu, and the Kunxu cultivation realm where Zhao Ning is currently located is in the southeast corner of the Kyushu continent, there is no shortage of spiritual veins and spiritual mines, and there are also a lot of basic cultivation resources, but there are few heavenly and earthly treasures to be found, so the strength in the nine major cultivation realms is considered to be superior.

Zhao Ning was curious about how this author knew the strength ranking of the Nine Great Cultivation Realms, could it be that the Nine Great Cultivation Realms sent people to fight?
