Time is gradually passing, day and night are changing, and Changling has already entered the hottest season.

The small courtyard in the deepest part of the ink garden was quiet, it was obviously daylight, but the brilliance emitted by countless stars, or the vitality that floated down between heaven and earth from an unimaginable distance, was condensed into a viscous essence that was difficult to see with the naked eye by an invisible force, and finally poured into Ding Ning's body at a constant speed along some fixed lines.

Ding Ning's body exuded billowing heat, and even like the legendary saint, a billowing multicolored cloud was formed behind him.

His skin seemed to have turned into jade, exuding a moist luster.

The most palpitating thing is the countless rustling sounds coming from his body, like countless silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that flowed into the True Yuan in his body from the surrounding heaven and earth, like a dot of impurities from the beginning, had completely merged with his True Yuan, and the True Yuan flowing in his body was like a silver liquid in his perception, crystal clear and transparent through his meridians.

The stronger and more cohesive True Yuan is also constantly changing his body, including his perception.

In fact, it is not that the invisible spiritual power has been strengthened in a short period of time, but as the scope of the absorbed Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi expands, just like the torch held by a person traveling in the dark is getting brighter and brighter, allowing him to see more places.

To see is to know.

The True Yuan, which had originally rejected the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi outside the body, began to be able to perfectly fuse and absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into the body, and it was truly the middle level of the Four Realms.

The true element is one step stronger, it can be stored in the runes for a long time, and the true yuan will be mobilized to flow in the runes with his mind, driving the operation of the sword, which is the next five realms.

From entering the Four Realms for the first time to crossing the Intermediate Level of the Four Realms and even getting a glimpse of the Five Realms for the first time, it may take many years or even half a lifetime for ordinary cultivators, but Ding Ning only took a few summers to complete this process.

......

Amid the sound of cicadas all over the city, a girl wearing a plain shirt and wearing a long sword walked slowly from an alley facing the ink garden.

Her body is very light, and she walks like a cat without making a sound, so she doesn't attract much attention.

However, Shao Killing, who was sitting on the mat, was stunned the moment he raised his head.

The girl just bowed to Shao Killer from a distance, and then walked through the open gate of the Ink Garden by herself, and walked straight to the depths of the Ink Garden.

Her cultivation and age naturally cannot surpass Shao Killing, and she is naturally the descendant of Shao Killing.

In the entire Changling, a girl who can have such a bearing in front of Shao Killing, naturally can only be the next sect master of the Minshan Sword Sect, Jing Liuli, one of the two strongest monsters in Changling before.

Because the other party is already a person who is respected by the same teacher as himself, and he respects the other party very much, so when he didn't approach the small courtyard, Jing Liuli released some breath that he would not normally release.

A cool breeze surged from in front of her, and many cool crystals appeared in the clear mid-air, like tiny droplets of water, reflecting and refracting the colors of the sun, forming a small but beautiful rainbow.

Ding Ning had already sensed her arrival, but after she released her breath, she pushed the door and walked out of her bedroom, and walked out of the small courtyard to greet this girl who should be the next sect master of the Minshan Sword Sect.

Looking at Ding Ning who appeared in his sight, his face had a hint of arrogance and coldness, but it made people feel that she should be so pure and polite.

Ding Ning bowed slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"

"If there is a letter, there will be a reply, your friend Xie Changsheng has prepared a reply letter and some things for you, and I will bring it by the way. Jing Liuli looked at Ding Ning and said, "At the same time, I came to learn from you." ”

Ding Ning was stunned, couldn't help laughing, and said, "What qualifications do I have for you to study?"

Jing Liuli glanced at Ding Ning and said solemnly: "I don't have such a great ability, it only took so much time to cultivate from just passing the Four Realms to the middle level of the Four Realms. ”

Ding Ning's face suddenly became serious, and his brows frowned slightly, "What kind of exercises are you cultivating, and you can even directly perceive the true entry of your cultivation?"

Jing Liuli did not shy away from it, and said directly: "I am cultivating cold mountain snow." ”

Ding Ning raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Jing Liuli had already added: "My sword is the Yingxue Sword." ”

If someone else is different, he can't directly understand the meaning from her two sentences, but Ding Ning knows it very well.

"Being able to directly see through other people's true cultivation, especially the power of the true element, is the real opportunity to dominate the enemy. He glanced at Jing Liuli and said calmly.

"Actually, in addition to cultivating, I also have to learn some other things like you. ”

Jing Liuli looked at Ding Ning and said calmly: "Master thinks that I am still too simple, too simple, and I am not qualified for the position of sect master." ”

Looking at the demeanor of the sect leader of the Jingliuli faction, and then looking at the solemn face of Jingliuli, listening to the simplicity she said, Ding Ning couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be funny. Jing Liuli frowned slightly, and continued seriously: "For example, in the matter of killing the palace maid, I will learn from you... There is a rebel in my Minshan Sword Sect, my Minshan Sword Sect wants to clean up the portal, but he holds an important position in the court, and he is deeply respected, if he is killed directly, it will be difficult for my master to explain to Emperor Yuanwu, and that person is extremely shameless, and he lives in a simple place, and does not accept any cultivator's duel invitation at all. Even if I wanted to openly ask him out, he wouldn't fight. I'm going to kill him, it's the same situation you're going to kill the palace maid. Uncle Shao gave you advice, and you immediately felt that the suggestion was feasible and very confident that it could be done, then I could naturally learn from you and see how you did it. ”

Ding Ning looked at the serious and always serious girl and fell silent.

The next sect master of the Minshan Sword Sect is the responsibility that Baili Suxue has given to this girl, and those who have the courage to take responsibility are often more sacrificial.

"This is Xie Changsheng's letter, and what he asked me to bring you. ”

Jing Liuli casually handed the things taken out of his sleeve to Ding Ning, and at the same time said sarcastically: "The Xie family even sent Jiaowei a letter for you, and what he gave you actually has no effect." ”

The things handed over to Ding Ning were very simple, a sealed ordinary letterhead, a fiery red, glowing pearl, and a small seal carved from a golden shell.

Ding Ning calmly opened the letterhead.

The handwriting inside is sloppy, but the person who wrote it is obviously very hard, very cheerful, the pen swims quickly, and the strength is strong.

The handwriting on it is also very simple: "I have arranged what you said." If you have money, you can do things, you take my seal to any of the Xie family's trading houses to withdraw money, if they are stingy, you directly take this night fire pearl of mine as my grandmother, it was left to me by my grandmother, see if they spend a lot of money to buy it back. ”

Ding Ning didn't deliberately cover it up, and Jing Liuli didn't deliberately avoid it, so she directly saw most of the handwriting on the letterhead, and suddenly sneered and said with disdain: "A rich man is a rich man, and he exudes the smell of money anytime and anywhere." ”

Ding Ning didn't respond positively to this sentence, just glanced at her calmly, and said, "You should have heard the story of the Changling Pillar?"

Jing Liuli frowned and said, "What Changling Pillar?"

"Even you have never heard of it, and many respectable things have been annihilated like this. Ding Ning shook his head, looked at the sky of Changling in the distance, and said slowly: "In the past, Lord Shang abolished the old law and changed the new system, and almost no one believed what he said, so he found a piece of wood that was actually easy to erect and issued a reward order, as long as he could erect that wood, he would get a reward." At first, no one tried it, thinking that there was no one in it, but then someone really tried it, and it was easily erected, and Lord Shang really rewarded a thousand gold. After that, everyone knew that Shang Daren would do what he said, and the new system was quickly implemented. ”

Jing Liuli's face gradually became solemn, and she did not make a sound.

Ding Ning glanced at her, and then said: "Another aspect of this matter is that it shows that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and we cultivators don't care about money, in fact, the vast majority of people in Changling who have to live on money care very much. ”

Jingruri's brows slowly relaxed, "So you mean, money is useful... If a person makes good use of money, it is also a kind of ability?"

Ding Ning nodded, laughed, and said, "Xie Changsheng is the best example, he values money the most, and at the same time, he also squanders money the least much. But he was able to win a lot of things, such as the help of others, such as doormen, such as friends. ”

Jing Liuli thought about the appearance of the person who stayed in the Minshan Sword Sect with a dead face, and it was really difficult to have a good impression in his heart.

She looked at her and said slightly, "So a lot of money is very useful for you to deal with that palace maid?"

Ding Ning took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said seriously: "Everything is ready." ”

Jing Liuli's eyes narrowed slightly, and a light shot out from the depths of her pupils like a sharp sword out of its sheath, "Then what are you going to do?"

Ding Ning turned his head to look at the high wall of the Ink Garden that he had destroyed, where many houses had now been converted into houses, all of which were inhabited by neighbors around Wutongluo.

He said slowly in a somewhat vulgar but practical voice: "The most basic thing in a person's life is nothing more than eating, drinking, eating, sheltering, and transportation. ”
