Chapter 43: Seven Years for You
This is more shocking news than the students of Aries Cave being able to participate in the sword sacrifice trial of the Qingteng Sword Academy. And this kind of shaking is definitely not only inside the Aries Cave.
However, the figure of Ding Ning, who caused such a shock, waited until the sun rose to three poles before appearing on the mountain road of Baiyang Cave.
"Isn't that a joke?"
On the mountain road not far from Jingshi Cave, Ding Ning looked at Li Daoji, who was expressionless, frowned and said: "I was told yesterday that I could use that spiritual vein to practice, and it was only one night, and now I am told that that spiritual vein belongs to the winner of the sacrificial sword trial, this change is too fast, right?"
Li Daoji glanced at Ding Ning coldly and said, "At least there is a month before the Sword Sacrifice Trial, and this spiritual vein still belongs to you." If you think the change is too fast, you should have listened to me yesterday and seized all the time to use the spiritual veins to cultivate, instead of staying back in Wutongluo and spending so much time on the road. ”
Ding Ning looked at Li Daoji, who was full of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and said, "I'm not idle on the way back and forth, I will study the Wildfire Sword Sutra." ”
Li Daoji said sarcastically: "It's just that in such a short period of time, you have memorized some of the contents of the Wildfire Sword Sutra?"
Ding Ning nodded.
A trace of hidden anger flashed in the depths of Li Daoji's eyes, but he didn't say anything immediately, he reached out and broke off a branch from the mountain wall beside him, handed it to Ding Ning, and then gestured to Ding Ning to go over to a platform with a radius of less than a zhang next to him: "In that case, can you practice for me?"
"Good. ”
Ding Ning did not refuse, carried the small branch, stepped on the platform, and began to wave the branch.
The twig in his hand looked ridiculous, with a few young leaves on top.
Li Daoji also deliberately made him look ridiculous, so he didn't even break those few young leaves.
Cultivation is the most taboo and arrogant, the Wildfire Sword Sutra is more complex than most of the sword scriptures in the Aries Cave, many sword postures are made up of many sword moves connected together, there are many changes in a sword style, even if he goes to study this Wildfire Sword Sutra himself, it is impossible to remember too much content in just one day, and have some understanding.
However, at the moment when Ding Ning started his hand, a lightning bolt had already crossed his eyes full of sarcasm, and his face instantly stiffened.
The seemingly ridiculous twig suddenly shook into a semicircle in front of Ding Ning's body, and in the next moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded in the air.
The small branches turned into countless tiny sword shadows, enveloping Ding Ning several feet in front of him.
The shadow of the sword was dense, mostly concentrated below Ding Ning's waist, just like on the ground in front of him, a dense grassland suddenly appeared.
The shock in Li Daoji's eyes expanded again, and his eyebrows kept jumping.
He had never flipped through the Wildfire Sword Sutra, but he could see that this should be the starting sword style of the Wildfire Sword Sutra, although there were still many flaws in Ding Ning's sword style in his eyes, but he had already felt that real sword intent.
With just a sword gesture, he sensed that a wildfire was about to rise from the grassland.
That's Shen Yun.
The sword style is not perfect, and the position of the sword body in the air has a slight deviation at every moment, which can be improved through practice, but the sword intent and charm cannot be comprehended through simple practice.
He is now the first swordsman in the Aries Cave except for the cave master Xue Wangxu, so he knows very well that only the kind of swordsman who has really gained Shen Yun can really exert the power of swordsmanship, and in battle, he will naturally let the sword follow the sword intent, so that every place of the sword will appear where it should appear.
And what shocked him the most at this moment was that even the few ridiculous leaves on the branch seemed to have a unique charm, giving him a strange kind of prosperity that was completely different from the wildfire fire, and the sword intent of stamina.
"Maybe I should admit that you are doing this way. But from today onwards, if you're going out of the mountain, I'll arrange for you a faster carriage. ”
He took a deep breath, looked at Ding Ning who stopped, said this, and then said nothing more and turned to leave.
"Thank you, Uncle Li Daoji. ”
Looking at the back of Li Daoji, who didn't say much, Ding Ning thanked him very seriously.
There was no smug expression in his eyes, but an inexplicable coldness appeared.
Yesterday's practice at the Aries Cave went well.
Now, however, it doesn't look as smooth as I thought it would.
Di Qingmei of the Qingteng Sword Academy was indeed at odds with Xue Wangxu and Du Qingjiao as rumored, and in order to satisfy the queen in the majestic palace, he had to take more measures to let her see his attitude.
"Actually, in normal times, no matter how much you fight with the Aries Cave, I won't interfere, I have a whole wall... I don't have the ability to take care of the affairs here, but now it's a matter of my cultivation, the spiritual veins that were given to me yesterday were just overnight, and you seem to have taken them from my hands, but I'm really unhappy. ”
Ding Ning dropped the branch in his hand, looked in the direction of the Qingteng Sword Academy, and said softly and seriously in his heart.
He was really unhappy at the moment.
Unhappy for the more incidents that have arisen, unhappy for the distant name that often appears in his mind recently.
"Ding Ning!"
At this time, he heard someone shouting at him.
Nangong Caishu ran towards him in the sun.
She looked at Ding Ning who was standing on the platform and looking into the distance, and her body trembled slightly.
She ran to Ding Ning's side, and her voice trembled slightly: "Ding Ning, you are really that kind of amazing monster." ”
Ding Ning retracted his thoughts, he looked at her excited look and looked at his eyes that were completely different, he knew that this girl must have gained a lot in the perception of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
So he asked in a calm and soft voice, "Those two essays are useful?"
"I don't know how you find those two essays useful, but they really work for me. Nangong Caishu still couldn't calm down, she said in a trembling voice: "I should be able to break through the second realm soon." ”
Ding Ning said softly: "It's best to help you, you speak for me at the mountain gate, so that I don't owe you any affection." ”
Nangong Caishu was stunned.
Her eyes were full of incomprehension, and even a hint of anger.
"What's going on!"
She looked straight into Ding Ning's eyes, and her face turned slightly red: "What do you mean that you don't owe me anything, I will say a few words casually for you on the mountain road, can it be compared to this? Your help may have saved me seven years, or more than seven years!"
Ding Ning looked at her excitedly, frowned slightly, and was silent for a while.
"Maybe you think that you are a disciple of the Aries Cave, and you are naturally estranged from the students of my Qingteng Sword Academy, but I won't care about these things, even if you don't see me as a friend now, I have to thank you. Nangong Caishu's expression became more serious, she even bowed seriously and bowed to Ding Ning, "You told me about your physical problems, and I know that your cultivation is more urgent than ordinary people, so I hope you must tell me if you need help." ”
Ding Ning's brows furrowed even more, he thought for a while, and said, "If you really want to help me, promise me not to tell anyone that I helped you with the two essays I picked for you." Including your division commander, your father. ”
Nangong Caishu was stunned for a moment, she looked at Ding Ning incomprehensibly and asked, "Why?"
"If you are cultivating to enter the realm quickly, I am afraid that it will already cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Ding Ning said calmly: "If a person who cultivates quickly and advances into the realm is considered to have a strong intuition and understanding of the cultivation classics, it will be even more troublesome. You know I don't have much time, I don't have time to be used, for me, I need to spend all my time on the advancement of cultivation. ”
Nangong Caishu didn't know what Ding Ning really thought in her heart, but she felt that Ding Ning's words were right.
She is well aware that the geniuses who are called monsters will face more challenges and mundane chores after their talents are revealed. And most of those people's future pursuits may be higher positions in Changling, and those challenges and chores will help them stand in a higher position in the future, and they have enough time to manage these, but Ding Ning did not.
"I promise you, I swear I will never tell anyone that it was because the two essays you picked helped me, and that I would find another reason. ”
Nangong Caishu nodded seriously, and then she still stubbornly raised her head and looked at Ding Ning, "But this is not enough... Is there anything else I can do to help you?"
Looking at this girl who was bent on helping him, Ding Ning had a headache, but he still thought about it carefully.
"Is there an elixir that can improve your cultivation?"
He pondered for a moment, said this, and then even felt a little shameless.
Nangong Caishu was stunned for a moment.
If this were another person who said this, she would definitely feel shameless.
Even if the elixir that improves cultivation has some long-term adverse consequences more or less, and even in the legend, it has a greater impact on the cultivator after reaching the seventh realm when he breaks through, but because it can quickly change the body of the cultivator, improve the realm, and even greatly save the time to break through the realm, any pill related to the promotion of cultivation is the most precious treasure in the world.
This kind of elixir is a supreme treasure for a cultivator from a family like Nangong Caishu, and generally when he gets such an elixir, he will use it himself, how can he give it to others.
However, Ding Ning's body did not make Nangong Caishu have his shameless thoughts.
She naturally felt that this could indeed make Ding Ning's cultivation faster, which was equivalent to saving some of his longevity.
"I'll figure it out and do what I can. ”
So after being stunned, she patted her chest very seriously and seriously, and reassured.
"Thank you. ”
Ding Ning's eyes also had a strange taste, he thanked him seriously, and then said softly: "Then can you please tell me about the sacrificial sword trial of your Qingteng Sword Academy... What kind of thing is it?"
