Chapter 10: Ning Zhe's Odds
Swish!
A dazzling purple light fell from the sky and landed on a large stone in the distance, and a trace of fine lines suddenly appeared on the large stone several feet wide, and then quickly spread, covering the entire surface of the stone.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and the whole boulder suddenly cracked, and the small stone slag splashed several feet high, and then fell to the ground, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, the figure of a man in black emerged, it was Ning Zhe, who had been locked up in Xuanqing Peak and thought about it.
He looked at the stones on the ground, shook his head in annoyance, and muttered: "This thunder trick still can't reach the level of broken stones, but this is not a problem of the exercises, nor is it a problem of this Lei Ze sword, in the final analysis, it is still not enough cultivation, hey......"
Shaking his head, he walked over to the stone next to him, sat down cross-legged, and began to exercise pranayama.
Ning Zhe had been "thinking" on Xuanqing Peak for twenty-five days, and in these days, he had been cultivating day and night with the assistance of the pill, but he had always stayed at the realm of the peak of the seven turns of the Guyuan Realm, unable to break through.
Seeing that the one-month deadline was approaching, in desperation, he had to find a way to practice the technique, and racked his brains to find a sword technique called "Thunder Jue" from his memory, which happened to complement his Lei Ze sword, but he never cultivated to the extreme.
After a while, Ning Zhe slowly opened his eyes and looked at the long sword beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. There are still four days to go, and they are about to go down the mountain, but with the current cultivation, there is no chance of winning against Zhu Wanyan at all......
For today's plan, the only one who can improve his cultivation in the shortest time is the mysterious exercise "Star Picking Record", but he has already seen it earlier, if he wants to cultivate, at least he must also sacrifice the cultivation of the Skill Realm, but now he is still far away.
"No matter, anyway, if you lose on the altar, you will die, and if you go mad, this exercise will also be a death, master, I will fight. After pondering for a long time, Ning Zhe suddenly stood up and muttered in his mouth.
As soon as his mind moved, the golden "Star Picking Record" appeared in his sea of consciousness.
He knew earlier that this "Star Picking Record" exercise was divided into nine steps, or nine stages, but he didn't have the courage to look backwards after reading the introduction. However, now in desperation, he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
He saw the eight big words again: "Nine steps to pick up stars, step by step!"
Pursing his lips, Ning Zhe muttered, "I hope you can be like these eight words, don't let me down." ”
After a moment of silence, he opened the first sheet of the exercise, only to see that it was written: "Step 1: Stars fall at midnight." ”
Ning Zhe's hands trembled slightly, and he finally calmed down, his mind was immersed in the introduction of this exercise, and his hands kept making all kinds of strange gestures.
And at this moment, Ning Zhe, who was closing his eyes, did not notice that the sky on this Xuanqing Peak began to gradually become gloomy, and countless golden points of light kept emerging from the air, and then swept towards Ning Zhe, and finally penetrated into his body.
With the continuous penetration of these golden points of light, Ning Zhe's whole body at this time was covered with a faint golden light, from a distance, the dim sky had already shrouded the earth, at this moment, Xuanqing Peak, as if entering a silent long night, and in the boundless darkness, only a faint golden cloud shone on the top of the peak, dazzling!
Ning Zhe also faintly felt the changes around him, but what surprised him even more was the changes that occurred in his body. At this moment, all the bones and meridians of his whole body were attached with a layer of gold, and even the aura circulating in his body was glowing with a layer of gold.
It was only at this time that he realized that his previous cultivation had advanced so quickly, and he was not entirely relying on the power of Gu Yuan Dan, and it also had a lot to do with these golden points of light.
Thinking of this, he clasped his hands together and shouted in a low voice: "The stars fall in the middle of the night!"
As soon as the words fell, several points of light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, but they paused in the air for a moment, and then smashed down to the peak with a dazzling light.
At this time, Ning Zhe felt the aura in his body gushing out wildly, but it was drained out in the blink of an eye, and there was no longer any aura that could be used to urge the exercises. Shocked, he hurriedly dispersed his skills, released the hand that had been pinched, and the aura in his body no longer overflowed.
And several points of light that fell in the air also suddenly dissipated with Ning Zhe's scattering power, and only one point of light fell on Xuanqing Peak.
Rumble!
At the moment when this point of light fell on the ground, a loud noise came, and Ning Zhe felt a strong shaking of the ground, and the courtyard behind him was directly destroyed by this fluctuation, and he himself was pushed out more than ten zhang and fell on the edge of the cliff.
Look at the place where the light point fell, a huge crater several feet in size appeared, and the stones and trees on the ground had been crushed by this force.
Looking at this big pit, there was a slight coolness from Ning Zhe's back, he turned around with difficulty, only to find that he was standing on the edge of the cliff, if this force was a little stronger, I am afraid that he would become the first monk in the history of Xiuzhen to fall to death.
Thinking of this, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a burst of ecstasy came to his mind, he didn't expect this exercise to be so powerful. You must know that it is recorded in the "Star Picking Record" that the first step can summon meteors to fall from the sky and use them to attack the enemy. He just summoned a meteor, and he had such a huge power, if he refined it to the fullest......
However, as soon as this thought flashed, a wry smile appeared on Ning Zhe's face, and he secretly said that he was obviously thinking too much. Just that meteor just now had already drained all the aura in his body, if it wasn't for his timely dissipation, I am afraid that in an instant, the meridians would be exhausted, and he would explode and die. This exercise must not be used lightly in the future, otherwise, if the enemy does not die and hangs up first, it will not be able to be drawn.
Ning Zhe felt the empty meridians, shook his head, sat cross-legged and began to breathe. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them again, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "It's actually advanced!"
Eight turns of the Guyuan Realm!
The barrier that had not been broken through for twenty days had actually broken through silently, and he knew in his heart that this should be the energy of those golden points of light just now. It turns out that this "Star Picking Record" can not only be used for attacking, but the aura operation mode recorded in it is also of great benefit to the advancement of cultivation.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhe's heart blossomed, he really picked up the treasure this time, Zhu Wanyi, Leng Tianci, your unlucky days are coming, haha......
A few days passed in a flash, and this day happened to be the day when Ning Zhe's punishment was deadline, and it was also the day when Zhu Wanyan challenged him.
Early in the morning, a disciple of the torture hall came to the mountain and asked Ning Zhe to go down with him. When the disciple saw that the original courtyard on the top of the mountain had been razed to the ground, he was stunned at first, then pouted, and secretly despised Ning Zhe: Even if he can't cultivate, there is no need to use the house to vent his anger, and in the end, he will have to rebuild it.
But what he didn't notice was that in the middle of the peak, there was a piece of soil with a different color from the surroundings, that was the big pit that Ning Zhe had made before, but he filled it up later, just because he didn't want others to know his details.
He followed the comer and flew towards Xuanling Peak, but after a moment's effort, he came to the square of the main peak. As soon as he fell to the ground, Ning Zhe was startled, and the entire square was crowded with people, crowded with disciples of the Xuanling Sect.
He walked a few steps quickly, grabbed a disciple who was passing by, and asked in a low voice, "This junior brother, I want to ask, what day is today, why are there so many people here." ”
The man frowned, and said impatiently, "You don't even know this? ”
Ning Zhe hurriedly smiled and said: "I have been in retreat for a while, and I have just come out of the customs, may I ask what ......is this?"
In line with the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the man pointed to the side of the square and said: "See, today is the day when Senior Brother Zhu Wanqi and Zhu challenge Ning Zhe's waste, Senior Brother Zhu rarely does it, everyone is here to see how Ning Zhe's waste hangs up, haha......"
After saying that, he actually laughed out loud.
Ning Zhe looked at him, resisted the idea of beating the other party violently, and continued to ask, "How do you know that Zhu Wanyan will definitely win?"
The man glanced at Ning Zhe in surprise: "Do you still need to ask?Senior Brother Zhu is a master at the peak of the ninth stage of the Guyuan Realm, so Ning Zhe has not made the slightest progress in his cultivation in the past three years, how can he win." I'm not afraid to tell you the gossip, it is said that Senior Brother Zhu has a big killer weapon this time. How about you, would you like to buy some?"
Ning Zhe was stunned: "Buy some, what to buy?"
The man suddenly became excited, pulled Ning Zhe to a wooden sign next to the square, and said in a low voice: "See, these are all bets placed by disciples in the door, the odds of Senior Brother Zhu and Ning Zhe have risen to ten to one, now you know how to choose, right?"
Ning Zhe looked at it intently, and sure enough, Zhu Wanyan's name was densely packed, but there were only a few poor people under his name. He glanced at the disciple next to him, and secretly said I chose you to die, so he turned around and left.
Halfway through, he suddenly saw a chubby figure walking out of the crowd, it was Ning Zhe's little junior brother Shiyang, he pulled Shiyang over, and asked in a low voice, "Shiyang, you also bought this?"
Shiyang saw that it was Ning Zhe, his face turned red at first, and he hurriedly put his right hand behind his back, then nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Ning, you have to be careful for a while, you ......"
Ning Zhe saw his name written on the wooden sign in his hand at a glance, and couldn't help but feel happy: "Little junior sister, yes, you have a vision, you actually buy me to win." How much did you buy?"
Shiyang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I bought you ten spirit stones." ”
Ning Zhe frowned and wondered, "Aren't you, just buying ten spirit stones?" ”
He suddenly turned to Shiyang's back and snatched the wooden card in his right hand, only to see that it was written: "Zhu Wanyan, bet on seventy spirit stones!"
This time, Ning Zhe almost didn't get angry, raised his hand and hit Shiyang's head with a chestnut, and scolded with a smile: "You dead girl, you actually underestimate me so much......"
