Verse 95
Seeing that Zhao Ning didn't pursue the matter of messing up, Lin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly glanced at Zhao Ning, and he didn't know how many times it was, but every time he went to explore the cultivation of this little senior sister, he had a feeling that he couldn't see through, in just one year, he went from the seventh layer of Qi training to the ninth layer of Qi training, obviously only one level higher than him, but he felt the invisible coercion, which was more depressing than facing the Great Perfection of Qi Training.
"What kind of performance did Jia Rui perform after he came out?"
Lin Ke hurriedly told everything he knew.
"At that time, Jia Rui was in retreat, and everyone thought that he was going to hit the foundation, but after he came out, not only was he not promoted, his cultivation fell to the second floor, and his condition was also extremely poor, and his expression was always wooden.
"Huh." Zhao Ning sneered very softly.
Lin Ke was slightly stunned, and cautiously turned his head sideways to look at Zhao Ning's expression, but her expression was cold as usual, as if the laughter was not from her.
Lin Ke was more careful in what he said next.
"The sect praised him for his courage, gave him several high-grade Gathering Spirit Pills, and allowed him to go to the Spirit Spring to cultivate, but in the past three months, his cultivation has still not improved."
This is inconceivable for Jia Rui to be so arrogant, after all, he can rush from the fourth layer of Qi cultivation to the seventh layer of Qi cultivation in half a year, not to mention that now he is dropping the level and cultivating again, and the speed is definitely much faster than the first cultivation.
It seems that Jia Rui has not completely gotten rid of the Ten Thousand Laws Sealing Spiritual Technique.
"Is there anyone else around him?"
"Yes." Lin Ke quickly replied in the affirmative, "The little senior sister also knows, it is Huo Hui who participated in the second round of the small competition." It stands to reason that this Huo Hui should directly choose to be a teacher and apprentice to a real person when he enters the inner door through the second round of Xiaobi, but he refused, and he has been practicing penance after opening the cave until Jia Rui comes out, this Huo Hui somehow got in touch with Jia Rui, the two are inseparable, and many of Jia Rui's explanations and arrangements are ordered by Huo Hui. ”
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for this Huo Hui, the three of us wouldn't have been so difficult to get close to Jia Rui!"
"I see." Zhao Ning only responded lightly.
Lin Ke saw that Zhao Ning had been looking at the fish in the pool, and couldn't help but be distracted to identify it, the fish in the pool was called the Silver Frost Fish, don't look at this name ordinary, in fact, it was misled by its silver-like appearance, this is an extremely poisonous fish, its flesh and blood can easily overturn a high-level Qi cultivator.
He subconsciously felt that this was a metaphor, so he asked tentatively, "Little Senior Sister, I heard that there was a big disaster in the second layer of the secret realm, there were monsters to make trouble, and the legendary Haoyang Underground Palace appeared, could this be related to Jia Rui?" ”
Zhao Ning glanced at him sideways, but without answering, Lin Ke shrunk his neck, and listened to Zhao Ning say, "Tell me about what happened this year." ”
"Yes, little sister." Lin Ke thought about it, only to feel that a lot of things seemed to have happened this year, so he had to start from the beginning, "On the sixth day of the second round of Xiaobi, Chen Fill and Ming Luo were embarrassed out of the secret realm, so they reported to the uncle in charge, saying that there was a big disaster on the second layer of the secret realm, and the legendary Haoyang underground palace appeared, causing the disciples of Luoxia Sect and Yuhua Sect to fight and fight, with heavy casualties, and it was also said that a monster was released from the underground palace. Speaking of the little senior sister again, he said that there were loose cultivators who mixed into the secret realm to intercept and kill the little senior sister, and asked the sect to send someone to enter the secret realm immediately. ”
"The uncle in charge knew that the matter was serious, and immediately reported to the real person, who stopped the sect Xiaobi on the spot and recalled all the disciples in the secret realm. He also arranged for several senior brothers and sisters who practiced qi to enter the second layer of the secret realm, who knew that not only did they not find the little senior sister, but they were almost wiped out in the small secret realm, only one senior sister desperately escaped from the secret realm, and the news came out that there were demons wandering on the second layer of the secret realm. ”
"Demons?" Zhao Ning trembled slightly when he heard this word.
Human demons, not extraterritorial heavenly demons, but mortals are obsessed with hatred, breaking through the shackles of heaven, turning demons into demons, thinking of killing, and calming down with blood.
Could it be the general in the Yuhua Sect's interrogation, who was riding a giant horse and wearing armor?
"Exactly." Lin Ke was also panicked, "The senior sister who escaped said that the human demon was suppressed by the law of the secret realm, and her strength was only in the middle level of foundation building, which made her escape and pass on the news under the desperate protection of the group." ”
"After the news came out, the sect and other sects completely banned the secret realm, and the three sects sent more than ten elders into the second layer of the secret realm to search for and suppress the human demons. But the Haoyang Underground Palace never appeared again, and the sect suspected that it was Haoyang Ling who was alive, so they were searching for such news openly and secretly. ”
Lin Ke glanced at Zhao Ning, "Little Senior Sister, you said before that Jia Rui may be the reincarnation of Master Haoyang, should we report this news to the sect?" But now may not be a good time to report. ”
Zhao Ning glanced at him, and Lin Ke hurriedly kowtowed, "It's me who is stupid, and I forgot to report to the junior sister in time for something important." ”
He raised his eyes, his eyes flickering and struggling a little, "Master Ling Xiao is back." ”
After a pause, Master Ling Xiao, the Master of Qingxiao Sect who traveled to Kyushu, was also the one who arranged for Jia Rui to apprentice in the sect.
Zhao Ning walked down the rock, "Oh? So it's time for Jia Rui to prepare for apprenticeship? ”
Seeing that Zhao Ning didn't seem to care too much, Lin Ke didn't know whether to be panicked or relieved, and explained honestly, "I heard that Qingxiao Hall is discussing this matter recently, and it may be possible to arrange an apprenticeship ceremony immediately." ”
Zhao Ning walked past him, paused, Lin Ke's head was buried lower, only to hear Zhao Ning chuckle and say, "Who said it's not a good time." ”
Lin Ke looked up in surprise, but in this instant, the condensation that had just stopped beside him had already disappeared.
He stood up and walked around, but he couldn't find the slightest shadow of Zhao Ning, and at this moment his heart was stagnant, and he was extremely glad that he was dedicated to being a little senior sister and did not hide it at all.
Zhao Ning was not in a hurry to return to the sect, but went to Guiyuan City.
She had to wait patiently, and wait for the right time to make Jia Rui ruined, and there would be no sect elders to secretly mediate and support him in disguise.
Zhao Ning met Kong Nan's grandson again in Guiyuan City, and the grandfather and grandson's business had been unexpectedly good in the past year, and they set up a shop to sell spirit runes.
When they saw Zhao Ning, the two almost knelt down on the spot, and respectfully welcomed Zhao Ning into the inner courtyard.
Zhao Ning sat on the top seat, Kong Li served a cup of tea, tea without tea, the color is like citrus, and the smell is with the fragrance of tea and orange.
Kong Li said, "This is fruit tea, a tea that has been very popular in Guiyuan City in recent days, and the owner will try it." ”
Zhao Ning took a sip, the taste was sweet, diluted the taste of tea, drinking it made people excited, it was a good cup of tea, but it did not fit the taste of Zhao Ning, she preferred the mellow and bitter tea.
But she didn't show it, and asked casually, "How did this tea come from?" ”
"It's the East City Pinxiang Building that is selling, and it is said that it has earned a lot of spirit stones." Kong Li thought she liked it, "If the master likes it, I'll go to Pinxianglou to get a pack for you?" ”
"No need." Zhao Ning stopped her and turned to look at Kong Nan, "Is there any news of the auctioneer of the best spirit rune refining method recently?" ”
Kong Nan's grandfather and grandson looked at each other and shook their heads.
Kong Li said, "That person suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, as if the world had evaporated. ”
Zhao Ning knew the mystery of this person in her heart, her focus was not on this, but on the news that the three major sects of Kunxu were secretly investigating the news of Haoyang Ling, and whether this more Haoyang Venerable Yanyue Fairy who seemed to have a grudge would run out again to intervene.
But the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Zhao Ning only let Kong Nan's grandfather and grandson stare at similar clues.
Zhao Ning left the Confucian shop, she walked idly on the Xianlin Street of Guiyuan City, this time the state of mind was no longer the same as when she first entered the cultivation realm, she took away her own cultivation as spiritual pressure, and walked in the crowd without attracting attention at all.
Walking through the central square, Zhao Ning suddenly saw a familiar figure dangling in the crowd, walking hurriedly.
"Yun Jinfan?"
Zhao Ning didn't want to do much, but she saw that Yun Jinfan's expression was a little strange, this simple and delicate girl had always been carefree, but at this moment, her expression was as if a big disaster was coming.
Zhao Ning saw her walk into the Pinxiang Building, only to know that the fruit tea was the recipe provided by Yun Jinfan, which is strange, Yun Jinfan has always been lazy, even if the outer door was pitted by the exchange meeting that there were no spirit stones, and when she shouted that she was penniless every day, she didn't bother tossing new things to earn spirit stones.
She took the spirit stone that had been sold recently from the shopkeeper, and told the boss that she would not sell it in the future, and that she was leaving.
After saying that, she left in a hurry, this time, she went straight to the city gate, and walked out of the city in the direction of the Spirit Mist Forest.
"Yun Jinfan."
Zhao Ning stopped her the moment before she burrowed into the Spirit Mist Forest.
Chapter 116
"Zhao Ning?!" Yun Jinfan said in surprise, and ran to Zhao Ning's side without thinking about it, "They said that you encountered a scattered cultivation siege in the secret realm, and there was no news, I really thought something happened to you!" It's great that you're okay! ”
Zhao Ning smiled and didn't answer the topic, "I heard that Uncle in charge ended Xiaobi a day early, but Xiaobi still has results, I don't know how Senior Sister Yun is?"
"Luck, luck, into the inner door." Yun Jinfan smiled shyly.
Zhao Ning took the opportunity to mention, "Senior Sister Yun, this is going out to practice?"
"Uh...... Yes, the sect has been in the sect for a long time and wants to go out to practice...... Well, it's been a journey. Her words were a little vague, Zhao Ning didn't seem to care, and said, "I heard that the Venerable Master Ling Xiao has returned, and the inner gate will definitely open the Dharma altar, and the Venerable Master preached, it is a rare encounter, Senior Sister Yun went out like this, it's a pity......"
Yun Jinfan involuntarily tugged at the corners of his clothes, and after a long time, he felt that Zhao Ning had been staring at him, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence, "I...... You know what I'm most afraid of...... If you don't understand, you won't join in the fun......"
Zhao Ning said again, "Then I don't know which peak Senior Sister Yun worships in the inner gate, seeing that Senior Sister Yun's spiritual power seems to be the same as before, is it that she has not chosen the exercises of her heart?" I stayed in the inner gate for a few months longer than Senior Sister Yun, and I could introduce one or two to Senior Sister. ”
Zhao Ning brought out the matter of "exercises", and in Zhao Ning's observation, this was the key to the mysterious person taking Yun Jinfan into the Qingxiao Sect, and every time she showed extraordinary curiosity and enthusiasm for the Qingxiao Sect's exercises.
However, this time Yun Jinfan said vaguely, "The current exercises are very good, eh, there is no need to change them." ”
was caught by Zhao Ning repeatedly, Yun Jinfan only felt that Zhao Ning seemed to want to take her back to the sect with her, and she began to be a little unable to stay, "That...... Zhao Ning...... I heard that the Spirit Mist Forest will fog up when it is a unitary period, so I have to leave early...... Bow...... Oh goodbye......"
She waved her hand, and without waiting for Zhao Ning to respond, she ran in the direction of the Spirit Mist Forest.
Zhao Ning didn't call her again, Yun Jinfan's attitude was very strange, her heart to leave was too firm, so firm that she seemed to be on the run......
Yun Jinfan ran a few steps and suddenly stopped, she was entangled and tugged at the hem of her clothes, looked back at Zhao Ning, saw that Zhao Ning was still standing in place, and ran to Zhao Ning after a few psychological struggles.
"That...... Zhao Ning...... We are good sisters' ......"
Zhao Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, but Yun Jinfan lowered her head and struggled with how to express it, not paying attention to Zhao Ning's subtle change in expression at all, she thought about it for a long time and said, "Just ...... A word of caution...... If you can go out and practice, ...... early."
Zhao Ning looked at her as if she was hiding a lot of words, and saw that there was a kind of nervousness in her neck, she asked, "Senior Sister Yun's words are a bit clueless, I sound a little confused, but what is going to happen in the sect?" ”
But Yun Jinfan said that he would not continue.
"I didn't ...... Nothing, you just remember. I'm on my way, gone. ”
After saying that, he entered the Spirit Mist Forest, and there would be no turning back.
Zhao Ning looked at her departing back with an uncertain expression, what would happen next, Yun Jinfan didn't even want the exercises in her heart, and left the sect directly in the name of experience, outside the Lingwu Forest was mundane, and she even had great intentions to leave the Kunxu Cultivation Realm.
Zhao Ning turned around slowly, this is a high slope, under the high slope is the magnificent Guiyuan City, and then there are many high mountains, there are eight hundred sects, three thousand families, and tens of thousands of cultivators hidden in the mountains.
Yes...... What happened?
Seven days later, all of them knew that the Venerable Master of Qingxiao Sect was going to accept a disciple, and this disciple was still the famous new Tianjiao Jia Rui.
Qingxiao Sect was very lively today, and everyone was waiting for the Cloud Absolute Bell of Yunxiao Peak to ring six times.
The cloud bell is used to announce the important events of the sect, three bells on behalf of the arrival of distinguished guests, six bells on behalf of the true legend, nine bells on behalf of the achievement of the top grade Jindan, twelve bells on behalf of the new sect master, fifteen bells on behalf of the death of the real person, eighteen bells on behalf of the death of the sect.
Those who have news and no news know that today's Yunxiao Hall convened the real people and true legends of the peaks to discuss the matter, and this discussion is not anything else, that is, the Yuan Ying Venerable Master accepts disciples.
The Yuan Infant Venerable, the entire Kunxu and even Kyushu recognized as the top strength, no one has seen or heard the trace of the Yuan Shen Venerable, Kyushu rumors have all fallen since 10,000 years ago, but there are also rumors that the Yuan Shen Venerable is broken and gone, in short, can be accepted by the Yuan Ying Venerable as a disciple, then the entire Kyushu can basically go sideways.
This is a rare event in Qingxiao Sect in a hundred years, the inner disciples all gathered at the foot of Yunxiao Peak to join in the fun, waiting for someone from the hall to ring the cloud bell on the top of the peak, and the outer disciples simply stayed in the square of the preaching hall and waited for the bell to ring.
The Yunxiao Palace, the white jade paves the ground, the gold is magnificent, the six auspicious cloud crane pillars surround the support dome, and the Jindan Zhenren and True Disciples of the entire Qingxiao Sect are in place, they sit on the circular three-story platform in front of the hall, and support the people who stand up the throne in front of the high platform.
This middle-aged man looks, wearing a wide and simple robe, closing his eyes and recuperating his spirits, and his momentum is full of momentum, it is the Venerable Lingxiao who has returned from the Qingxiao Sect's cloud travel.
The throne temporarily added a treasure chair, the person half-leaning on the chair has been old, there is no spirit of ordinary real people, the twilight of the age, the old man is the Qingxiao sect master Pingxu Zhenren, the real person has been in charge of the sect for more than 300 years, the longevity is about to end, in recent decades, the affairs of the sect have been handed over to the first disciple of the sect Qin Keyuan to deal with, only this kind of sect ceremony will appear.
But the Venerable Ling Xiao was above, and the old man with crane hair was not lazy, so he half-raised the posture of the sect master, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the center of the hall with a smile.
In the center of the hall, Jia Rui straightened up and respectfully replied to the question of the Sect Master Pingxu.
“…… Therefore, on the path of cultivation, we should follow the true truth, temper the Dao heart, and the Dao heart is strong, and the path will be stable and far-reaching. ”
As he spoke, many elders nodded approvingly, and after speaking, the Pingxu Sect Master on the stage smoothed the white beard with satisfaction, and then arched his hand towards the middle-aged man, "Elder Taishang, this son's immortal qualifications are excellent, with a single fire spirit root and fire spirit body, he is a genius that is rare in a thousand years......"
He lowered his voice, "...... It must be able to form a high-grade golden pill, and it is also very possible to achieve a heavenly purple baby. ”
The middle-aged man opened his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on Jia Rui, who lowered his head respectfully.
After a long while, he let out a "hmm", "The qualifications are good, but this son's cultivation doesn't seem to be as strange as you say." ”
Sect Master Pinglu explained, "This is caused by the impact of the foundation building, Elder Taishang doesn't know, in the past hundred years, the Kyushu Spirit Building Platform has become more and more easy to attract demons, I'm afraid it's ...... Not good. ”
He hid a few words that only the only two people knew.
