Chapter 134: The Last Five Years of Cultivation Continued
Zhou Ding hadn't guided Nangong Quan for a long time, but now he brought one of the people he didn't want to see the most, which really made Nangong Quan panic. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall what happened during the immortal cultivation test, and he still felt confused about losing, and now that he thinks about it, Ai Ning'er didn't use all his strength at that time. But the killing intent made Nangong Quan lose his sense of battle in the battle, how embarrassing it would be to spread these words, the so-called manly man was iron-clad, upright, and he was frightened by a female streamer...
Thinking about it, Nangong Quan couldn't help but lower his head, but immediately heard Zhou Ding say sharply: "Nangong Quan! Listen carefully! If you don't want to listen to it, don't listen, you think that as an elder, I am not qualified to teach you, so I will leave immediately." ”
Nangong respected Zhou Ding, and he immediately apologized: "Third master, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I ran the anchor, I won't next time." Zhou Ding snorted and glanced at Ai Ning'er, who was sitting in the corner meditating.
Nangong Quan also looked at it, Ai Ning'er, who was sitting quietly, was still beautiful, and she didn't know if she was listening to them. Nangong Quan could see Zhou Ding's displeasure, but most of this was not due to himself, Nangong Quan thought about it, and still had to ask Zhou Ding for an understanding, otherwise it would be really difficult to practice here in the future.
At the moment of rest, Nangong Quan called Zhou Ding to a place where there was no one: "Third Master, what is going on? You know that I am trying to cultivate immortals, why does she want to practice in the place where I refine the pills? What if she recognizes me as 'Nanren'." Besides..."
Zhou Ding interrupted him: "Don't be afraid, he already recognizes you." I really don't understand, why did you show so many feet when you went out this time? I told you not to steal the limelight, now it's okay, the top ten of the immortal cultivation test have all come to the door, what do you still want? Wait for a big immortal gate to point at your nose and say that you have deceived the entire immortal cultivation world?"
Nangong is not stupid: "Do you know about Master Wuxin and Miss Liuli?" but they shouldn't have recognized us..."Zhou Ding rushed to say: "That's because people don't break the way, people give you a step, you really stand up obediently?"
Nangong Quan knew that he was at a loss and didn't speak, and at this moment, Zhou Ding was angry and asked him to scold him, maybe he would have a long memory, don't be so simple. After a while, Zhou Ding sighed, as if most of his anger had disappeared: "That's it, it's okay to say without heart and Liuli, you must not provoke this Ai Ning'er." Don't look at her sitting there without saying a word, you didn't see the way she looked when she threatened me before. ”
Nangong Quan's heart jumped: "Threatening you, it's impossible, you are an elder, a senior master, and a second master..."
"They don't know about it, so don't bother them, just know it yourself. Zhou Ding paused: "Today, she found me." Directly said that it was a fake sect, and there was no threatening tone in his words, but my heart did skip a beat at that time. Her second sentence was, 'Let me practice by Nangong Quan', these two sentences made the conditions and purpose clear, and I thought about it and agreed to it. ”
Nangong Quan was surprised: "Why? She is just in the foundation building period, why are you afraid of her?" Zhou Ding glanced at Nangong Quan: "The foundation building period is the late stage of foundation building! With such a good foundation, how many people in the world of cultivating immortals today are compared to those who are known? Not to mention that in a place like the North Ice Plain, where spiritual energy is scarce, how many people can cultivate for more than ten years to the current realm? This person's achievements will definitely not be under me in the future, if she has a flash of Shu Mountain and the North Ice Field, she will go to war. Do you understand what I mean?" Nangong Quan shuddered, no wonder Zhou Ding, who had always been calm, was so angry, and it was not easy for Ai Ning'er to threaten the elders like this.
After Zhou Ding said this, Nangong felt a lot more relieved, and most of the heart that had been hanging before was also released. Although I don't know what her purpose is, it shouldn't be a big problem to be able to threaten Elder Shushan like this in exchange for a chance to cultivate by Nangong Quan's side.
A month has passed, and Nangong Quan has become accustomed to Ai Ning'er sitting in the corner meditating, and during the month, the two did not say a word. Every time Nangong Quan came here, he could see Ai Ning'er sitting on the futon in the corner early, and the silent Ai Ning'er really didn't have anything else except for the impact on Nangong Quan's fire system exercises and the surrounding temperature. Having said that, there was a pleasing cold beauty sitting next to her, and she had nothing to complain about.
Today, Nangong Quan came to the alchemy house as usual. Sure enough, Ai Ning'er sat in the corner early. Nangong Quan sat down at the table where the herbs were placed, put the delicate small flower pot in his hand on the table, supported his chin with both hands, and his thoughts had long since drifted away, and the five seeds in the pot were unintentionally given, which had not yet germinated.
Nangong Quan has not been in a hurry to alchemy recently, he has learned everything he should learn, but he needs to practice more. Moreover, the competition was approaching, and his mind was completely focused on improving his strength and refining the three-grade spirit treasure for Xiaohong. Nangong Quan has only made a flying sword so far, and now he directly asked him to design a spirit treasure to come out, which really feels like catching ducks on the shelves.
For this reason, Nangong Quan is well-read, thinking about the shape, thinking about the function, thinking about the rune array, choosing materials, etc., seeing that the competition is approaching, he only thinks of a prototype, and he doesn't even try it, it's not that he doesn't want to try, but the materials and workmanship are all a lot of expenses, Nangong Quan believes in his own technology, so he plans to figure everything out and try to avoid being in a hurry, and even he is not satisfied with the things he makes.
Zhou Ding didn't come today, and Nangong Quan didn't want to practice the way of alchemy, so he took out the self-made boxing gloves drawings from the storage bag and continued to "make" the boxing gloves. After a while, Nangong Quan heard a movement outside the house, it was very strange, the person who came was not Elder Zhou Ding, Elder Zhou Ding would not have such a big movement, and listening to the footsteps should be four or five people. Nangong Quan hurriedly put away the drawings, he really didn't know who it was, maybe he was just passing by, maybe...
Nangong Quan really didn't know who it was, he had never talked about this place with the others in the snowy day, only that he was practicing on Elder Zhou Ding's peak. I really couldn't think of the comer, Nangong Quan subconsciously put the flower pot in his arms and waited for the comer to enter the door.
But before the door opened, he listened: "Young Master Meng, don't worry, I've been exploring this place for a long time, and no one is here..." Seeing Nangong Quan and Ai Ning'er in the corner, what he said just now really felt like a slap in the face.
The person who opened the door nodded and bowed his waist, and one hand opened the door and one foot also reached in, followed by three men, standing in a triangle, obviously, the leader was the master, and the two behind him were servants. The scene was silent for a moment, and the young master Meng didn't look at the person who opened the door, glanced at Nangong Quan and Ai Ning'er and said, "What's the matter?" The tone was calm, tepid, but also majestic.
The person who opened the door rolled his eyes: "It must be a coincidence, I have been here for half a month, but today there happens to be someone, I am afraid that the two of them happen to come here." Nangong Quan recognized this person at a glance, this person's name is Lingming, he is an apprentice grandson of Zhou Ding, and now he is also a second-level alchemist, and he is also a second-level alchemist, it is rare that he is only forty years old this year. Of course, Nangong Quan is different from him, he is personally instructed by the elder, and he can be regarded as the elder's personal disciple.
But Nangong Quan knows his position in Shushan, Mingli is a half-job and half-cultivation disciple, and secretly is a hidden disciple of Shushan, and his future is limitless.
Then Young Master Meng snorted and said, "What now?"
Ling Ming's eyes rolled: "Don't worry, my lord, he is just a miscellaneous person, he is usually just a subordinate who prepares spiritual materials in the alchemy room to clean up the mess, and he doesn't dare to rob you if he wants it!" The tone of the latter sentence has increased a lot, and the three words of Young Master Meng are emphasized, which is completely for Nangong Quan. Then he said: "Moreover, don't worry, young master, don't you know the efficiency of small work? I have also found a suitable place for alchemy elsewhere. ”
However, Nangong Quan was unmoved, looking at them blankly, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't say that this was what Zhou Ding found for him, and teach him the method of alchemy here, don't say that they don't believe it, even if their masters are strong people in the Jindan period, I'm afraid they don't believe it.
Ling Ming was about to get angry, his eyes flashed to Nangong Quan's chest, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said a few words in the ear of Young Master Meng, only to see that Young Master Meng also stared at the flower pot in Nangong Quan's hand with burning eyes.
Lingming is very eye-catching, the things in the Nangong Quanhua pot in front of him are vigorous, it must be the seed of some spiritual thing, generally such things are to be planted in the spiritual field, think about Nangong Quan's origin, this thing may have been stolen by him. He is an alchemist, he has a unique sense of heaven and earth treasures, and the seed with such vigorous vitality is by no means mortal, just by a glance he knows that this thing is priceless, although it may not be good now, but if it is really cultivated, it will be amazing.
Ling Ming swallowed his saliva, coughed twice and cleared his throat: "Who is that, I remember that your name is Nangong Quan, you trespassed on this alchemy peak, our Young Master Meng will not pursue it, and our young master decided not to tell the elder about your first offense, but you have to give us some benefits, leave the flower pot in your hand, and you can go." Nangong Quan was angry and funny when he heard it, thinking that this place was your trespassing, and you Young Master Meng didn't say anything about pursuing him, and it was also powerful to use him as a shield, and even moved the elders out, it seems that this Young Master Meng is really a bit of a prodigy, then again, why can't they see Ai Ning'er in the corner!! they are the top five in the Immortal Cultivation Test!!
But he said, "Flower pots, okay, since you like it, I'll give it to you." With that, he took out the seeds and handed them the pots. Nangong Quan has some meaning to play with them, he has always felt that this is an unintentional thing, he is just helping to raise it, but he feels that this kind of child is given to Nangong Quan, at this time, Nangong Quan has been planted for several months, and there is still no response, and he will return it to him after a while.
Ling Ming was about to get angry, only to hear the sound of "click" and "click", his face changed greatly, and he subconsciously thought that Young Master Meng actually took out his sword.
Nangong Quan didn't expect that this little joke would make this person draw his sword against him, his heart twitched, and because of nervousness, his hand subconsciously mentioned it to his chest, and his body couldn't move in an instant, killing intent !!
Nangong Quan's eyes flashed, and he looked at that Young Master Meng tremblingly, this person's expression was indifferent, the flying sword in his right hand, the scabbard in his left hand, and the killing intent emanated from him: "Insult my Meng family, damn it! You want to intervene?" Nangong Quan felt a few drops of warm liquid flowing down from his palm, and the blood flowed from his palm through the cuffs that were dyed red and white, and dripped into the flower pot, and it happened that the drop flower pot soaked in the soil and wrapped the seeds, but the seeds that had not moved for several months began to absorb blood... Nangong Quan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think: Did he really want to kill me? Just because of a joke?
The next moment, Nangong Quan felt extremely cold, and several icicles appeared behind him, the tips of which were extremely sharp and pointed directly at Ling Ming and the others, Nangong Quan's intuition of killing intent decreased sharply, and the cold qi increased sharply, as if the spiritual power was going to freeze the cold air, even Nangong Quan in the foundation building period should not be shivering, this is minus forty degrees, not to mention that this is the daytime, it is impossible to say that the winter of Shushan is not below minus ten degrees, could it be, she made a move?! It was Ai Ning'er who had not spoken for several months, Nangong was very grateful, he didn't expect that the person who wanted his life would one day become his savior.
Young Master Meng's eyes narrowed: "Since it's your person, I won't move, say goodbye!" After speaking, he put away his sword and left, and the other three naturally listened to his words and turned away.
Immediately, the cold ice that enveloped Nangong Quan disappeared in an instant. Nangong Quan shuddered, he clenched his injured hand, turned around and said, "Thank you." ”
Ai Ning'er looked at Nangong Quan's injured hand and frowned with some guilt: "I'm sorry." This is the first time they have talked in months, Nangong Quan doesn't know whether Ai Ning'er apologizes for almost killing herself last time or for what, Ai Ning'er took out a white porcelain bottle from her arms and put it in front of Nangong Quan, slightly angry: "You are too weak!!" disappeared after speaking.
