Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Quiet Break
As soon as Gu Xichun's words came out, there was a sudden silence in front of the mountain gate of the Qingteng Sword Academy.
Xu Heshan and Xie Changsheng, who were not far away, also stopped talking, Xie Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head, and mocked slightly: "Even if you have such ambitions, you don't need to say it so openly to show your extraordinary." ”
Xu Heshan was a little convinced, and said softly: "At least he has such a heart." ”
There have been more than a dozen students from cultivation places here, but only three or four of them are qualified to participate in the Minshan Sword Sect Sword Meeting, and among the three or four cultivation places that are qualified to participate, I am afraid that only Gu Xichun dares to say so, and the rest of them also know that their strength is not enough, and they can only be green leaves as a foil in that kind of sword meeting.
Gu Xichun naturally couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get the opportunity to enter the Minshan Sword Sect to study at that kind of sword meeting, but to be able to take this as his goal, compared with the people around him who didn't associate themselves with that kind of sword club at all, his two sentences naturally had some meaning of those of you who knew the ambition of the bird.
Xie Changsheng, Xu Heshan and others felt that Gu Xichun had some proud capital, so they only muttered a few words in private, and did not want to openly refute Gu Xichun's face, but among the students present, some were from prominent backgrounds, but their cultivation was not as good as Gu Xichun's students.
After a short silence, someone couldn't help it, and said lightly: "Brother Gu has lofty ambitions, and we are naturally inferior, but if Ding Ning of this Aries Cave is really the same as An Baoshi of the Lingxu Sword Sect and the Jingliuli of the Minshan Sword Sect, refining qi in January, and then the next cultivation speed is about the same as those two, maybe by the time of the Minshan Sword Society, he will already be your fierce opponent." ”
"Really?"
Gu Xichun looked at the man, smiled slightly, and said: "Then we are idle left and right, we might as well come and play some color, first see if Ding Ning can break through the realm today and refine qi in January." ”
Hearing this, most of the people present felt that it was not interesting.
Because at least until yesterday, everyone can be sure that Ding Ning has not broken the border, and with today's day as the deadline, the chances of winning the bet on Ding Ning to break the border are too slim.
In fact, everyone present felt that it was impossible for the young man in the wine shop in the White Aries Cave to refine qi in January, and it was only because there were records of the two monsters of the Minshan Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect that there was such a statement.
Could it be that Ding Ning was really able to bet on the point, and really happened to reach the Qi Refining Realm within a month?
It is impossible for most people to bet, so even if there are a few people who bet on the possibility, most people will not have many prizes if they win, and they can't gamble at all.
However, at this moment, a voice that seemed a little immature, but unruly sounded: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll bet three mica knife coins, and bet Ding Ning to be able to successfully break through today." ”
Hiss......
In front of the mountain gate of the Qingteng Sword Academy, the sound of gasping cold air sounded.
All eyes were on the man.
One mica knife coin is worth 500 gold, and three is 1,500 gold, so much money, I'm afraid that most of the students present will be difficult to put together for a while.
All beings even thought that the person who spoke out was joking, but when they saw the person who spoke clearly, and saw the three sword coins he took out of his sleeve, everyone understood that this person was really not joking.
Because this person is Xie Changsheng of Baiyun Temple, the Xie family is a huge rich man in Guanzhong, and others can't afford to gamble this thousand five hundred gold, but he can still afford to gamble.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Heshan beside Xie Changsheng looked incredulous.
"Money and things outside the body. Xie Changsheng pursed his lips and replied softly.
In fact, when Gu Xichun was a little ridiculed at the beginning, he was a little unhappy, and just when he saw Gu Xichun proudly proposing the gambling game, he couldn't hold it back.
"Oh?" Gu Xichun saw that it was Xie Changsheng at a glance, frowned slightly, and wanted to talk.
Seeing that as soon as he spoke, this gamble should be completed naturally, but at this moment, another sound of reining in the horse sounded.
"Xie Changsheng, isn't the money in the family money?"
"Do you think you can squander it uncontrollably when it comes to you?"
"Xie Changsheng, do you think that if your father gave you such a name, you can really win for a long time, and you will win every gamble?"
With the clear sound of the horse, angry female voices continued to sound on the mountain road.
Xie Changsheng shuddered, and his face suddenly turned white.
"What's going on?" Xu Henian followed everyone's gaze and saw a tall girl snatching out of the stopped carriage with her eyes in her eyes.
The girl had a good-looking melon seed face, a very well-proportioned figure, and her long hair was coiled with a jasper hairpin, which made her neck even more slender.
"Who is she?" Xu Henian couldn't help but look at Xie Changsheng beside him and asked. He knew from the word Taixiao on the girl's green robe that this girl was a student of the Taixiao Palace. Over the years, Taixiao Palace was also on the list of invitations from the Qingteng Sword Academy, but the number of students who came to Taixiao Palace in the past few years was relatively small, and I had never seen this girl.
"She is my sister, Xie Rou, her name is very soft, but people are not gentle at all. Xie Changsheng said softly with a bitter face.
Xu Heshan couldn't understand it, thinking that even if she was a sister, she didn't have to be afraid of being like this.
"I can't beat her, and we are studying outside, my father let her take charge of the money, I want to withdraw it from her..."Xie Changsheng seemed to know Xu Heshan's heart, and added softly.
Xu Heshan's eyes were suddenly relieved, and his heart was full of sympathy for Xie Changsheng. After all, he was accustomed to Xie Changsheng's means of spending money, if Xie Changsheng, who was used to throwing money away, had no money to lose, it would be really uncomfortable, and he might feel uncomfortable and affect his cultivation.
"Then what's the matter with her calling you Xie Changsheng?" Looking at the tall girl with an angry face and getting closer and closer, Xu Heshan lowered his voice a little and asked.
Xie Changsheng's face was even more bitter: "My real name is Xie Changsheng... It's just that I think this name is too earthy, so I changed my name to Xie Changsheng. ”
Xu Heshan was stunned, "It's enough soil." But he immediately said: "But no matter how earthy it is, the name given by my father can't be changed casually." ”
"What did you change? You also changed your name?" Xie Rou had already gotten closer at the moment, and vaguely heard Xu Heshan's words, she suddenly raised her willow eyebrows, looked at Xie Changsheng with a frosty face, and said sharply: "You are so bold!"
"Where do I have it. ”
Xie Changsheng's face was unusually ugly, and he argued strongly: "Who here doesn't know that my name is Xie Changsheng." ”
When Xu Heshan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
From now on, Xie Changsheng may only be able to restore his real name to Xie Changsheng.
"Really?"
Xie Rou looked at her younger brother Xie Changsheng, who was not very successful in her eyes, with a gloomy face, "Then you shout loudly here, my name is Xie Changsheng." ”
The previous Xie Changsheng, the current Xie Changsheng suddenly became angry, and shouted: "Sister, what are you doing! Aren't you just gambling with people, anyway, this Ding Ning is also a half-day master, and he doesn't necessarily lose!"
"If you are from an ordinary market, there is no nobleman or gate valve behind you, and I heard that I was injured in a previous turmoil. Xie Rou, a tall and domineering girl, had a sarcastic smile on her face, "If you can break through the realm to Qi refining in January, then I will simply let him be your brother-in-law." ”
“......”
The mountain gate of the Qingteng Sword Academy was suddenly completely silent.
All of them were speechless.
Xie Rou said that he should be Xie Changsheng's brother-in-law, didn't he mean that if Ding Ning's talent was really so amazing, she would marry Ding Ning?
I often hear people say that the women in Guanzhong are heroic, but now it seems that they are very different from the women around Changling... Even if this is just an angry word to teach his own brother, such words are still too surprising for Changling to come out of the mouth of a young girl.
"It's amazing, no wonder you're afraid of her. Xu Heshan swallowed hard, and couldn't help but whisper in Xie Changsheng's ear.
......
"Senior brother, what is Ding Ning's cultivation to the end?" At this time, in the Aries Cave, there were also many students surrounding Zhang Yi, asking about Ding Ning's cultivation.
"It's hard. Zhang Yi couldn't help but glance at the direction of the grass house hidden in the mountain gorge, he understood the emotions of these students, from the beginning of the questioning of Ding Ning, to now many students in the Aries Cave have high expectations for Ding Ning, but he still explained honestly: "He opened the Jade Palace in the middle of the month, according to such a speed of five qi, unless his cultivation realm is stable to the extreme, and it is the same as when he passed through the Xuan in half a day, there are not many obstacles in breaking through the realm, he can only break through to the qi refining realm today." ”
Hearing Zhang Yi's explanations, the students of Aries Cave who surrounded him were somewhat disappointed.
......
In the silent grass house, Ding Ning was practicing calmly.
The Jade Palace in the depths of his Qi Sea had been completely lit up by the colorful Yuan Qi, and at this moment, the five Qi flowing in his Qi Sea had already flowed up from the Jade Palace, forming a pillar of Qi, approaching the brightest space at the top of the Qi Sea in a slow and unusually stable manner.
The brightest space is the Heavenly Aperture.
At this moment, the top of the air column was only a trace away from that bright space.
Just when the Aries Cave students surrounding Zhang Yi dispersed with some disappointment, this last trace of distance slowly disappeared under the slow and steady movement of the qi column.
Ding Ning's body shook slightly.
The sea of qi, the jade palace, and the heavenly aperture are completely connected.
The five qi are like a waterfall, flowing down from the heavenly aperture and flowing endlessly.
Without any stagnation, without any obstacles, under the traction of Ding Ning's mental power, a part of the five qi that Zhou Tian ran began to condense in a mysterious way.
Some milky white true qi, which was many times heavier than the five qi in the body, began to generate and settle down.
The sea of qi began to change, from the initial five qi to this true qi flooding.
This is the Qi Refining Realm.
At this moment, there were many people talking about his cultivation, even Senior Brother Zhang Yi, who had always favored him, had no confidence in his breakthrough, and the beings at the gate of the Qingteng Sword Academy thought that this was absolutely impossible.
However, no one knew that this was an inevitable thing for Ding Ning.
It's just a step-by-step, planned thing.
So in this afternoon, when many people were still arguing about this matter, in this quiet grass house, Ding quietly broke through.
January gas refining.
