Chapter 53
Shang Bai drove the beast cart and sent Ding Yingying back to the Wild Zen Workshop in Feixian City, and then returned to the mountain gate. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he went out for four days this time, which made the people of the Tianji Academy worry for a while. He didn't say anything about the fact that he had advanced to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, only said a few words, and then ran to ask the Wenge Yinghua Building to find Xiong Bin.
This time, he took the Nine Leaves Ju Lingzhi and entered the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and if he entered the realm too quickly, he was also afraid that there would be trouble, so he had to ask Xiong Bin for advice.
"You're too anxious!" Xiong Bin sighed after listening to him explain the reason, "As long as you enter the middle stage of Qi cultivation within ten years, you can continue to stay in the outer gate for ten years." And with your qualifications, if you don't take that elixir, you will be able to steadily enter the middle stage of Qi cultivation in another half a year, and it is not a strange thing to advance to the foundation building within ten years. I really don't understand why you're in a hurry?"
"The Tianji Academy still has to rely on the title of the disciple's senior brother to rush forward. Shang Bai bowed his head and said, "The title of senior brother is both a banner and an arrow target. In full view of everyone, the disciples cannot retreat or lose. ”
The prosperity of the Tianji Society is supported by the name of Shang Bai, the first person in the outer gate, and once the name of the first person is replaced by others, the Tianji Society is in danger of collapsing. Xiong Bin knew the situation of the Tianji Academy, sighed softly, and didn't say anything, only said: "Your realm is growing too fast this time, and in the next half a year, I hope you don't try to increase your mana again, just consolidate this realm." ”
After the twelve main meridians and the eight veins of the Qi meridian are opened, they will enter the middle stage of qi training. Next, the capacity of each acupoint in the body should be expanded, and when the amount of mana contained in all acupoints is the same as that of the dantian, it is to enter the late stage of qi training.
Xiong Bin asked Shang Bai not to try to increase his mana in the next half a year, that is, to ask him not to expand the acupoint for half a year. As for consolidating the realm, it is enough to insist on carrying mana every day on large and small Sundays, and the time will not be long.
"Then what should the disciple do with this extra time?" Shang Bai asked very humbly.
"Practice spells. Learn more, practice more. Xiong Bin said, "In the past, I was afraid that you would learn too many techniques and delay your cultivation, but now you are not suitable for improving your cultivation, so you should practice more techniques." It doesn't matter how much skill you have, the main thing is to familiarize yourself with your current state through more practice, so that you can strengthen your foundation. ”
This is the experience of an old monk who has missed the road, and it is quite valuable. Shang Bai naturally knew the importance of his remarks, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your advice." ”
In the days that followed, Shang Bai began to study the spell diligently. The Heavenly Fire Divine Power was the one he was most familiar with, but it was only a low-level spell created by a cultivator in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and it was no longer very suitable for him. He went to the second floor of the library building to look for a long time, found a few spells suitable for his current realm, and practiced these spells hard every day. Each time, he practiced the spell, drained the mana, and then quickly replenished the mana with the spirit stone and continued the practice. In this way, although his cultivation did not continue to grow, he did have a much better understanding of his own realm.
Cultivating hard in this way is very beneficial to a solid foundation, and it will also help you master the Fa you have learned more quickly. But there's one downside to it—it's that it costs too many spirit stones.
In the past, when he first learned the Heavenly Fire Divine Power, a spirit stone could replenish the mana in his body ten times, but now that he had reached the middle stage of Qi cultivation, his mana was too deep, and he needed four spirit stones to replenish his mana once—that is, in more than half a year, his mana had increased fortyfold.
Of course, the increase in mana is a good thing, but the consumption of spirit stones also rises, which is a bit of a headache. Originally, he didn't practice his spells so frequently, so he didn't need to spend spirit stones to cultivate, it was enough to have spiritual energy. However, in order to lay a solid foundation as soon as possible, he spent about twenty spirit stones every day.
Twenty yuan a day, six hundred yuan a month, I have to say, this is a huge expense. Although he has the support of the loan from Ye Zenfang, he is not worried about the lack of spirit stones, but after all, such a large number is a little distressing.
However, he didn't feel distressed for long, and a person came over to help him solve this big problem.
That person's name is Ouyang Hao.
Ouyang Hao's house is near here, and he will return home every few days, and by the way, he will take some spirit stones as activity funds. This time he went home, but learned that he didn't open his eyes and actually robbed Shang Bai, which scared him half to death.
What Shang Bai represents, he knows much more than those in the family. He also heard that the Fengming Club where he was located didn't know why he offended the Tianji Society a few days ago, and the people were angry, and then it was the senior sister Pan Xue'er who brought a few beautiful junior sisters to come forward and invite Shang Bai to have a meal before they were resolved. Pan Xue'er is already a high-ranking existence in his eyes, not to mention Shang Bai, who is even higher than Pan Xue'er.
This time it was not an ordinary conflict, but Ouyang Xia got rich and blocked the road and robbed, which was very bad in nature. If Shang Bai wants to rectify him, the reason is enough, and no one has to say anything. When he heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go back to the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, and shouted: "You guys have made me miserable! If I go back, he will definitely kill me! No, it must have made me worse than dead! I won't go back! I won't go back!"
The old patriarch of the Ouyang family was also very angry at his family's unsightly behavior, and punished Ouyang Xia and the others severely. But now that it's happened, no matter how angry you are, you have to face it. It took them a lot of effort to send Ouyang Hao into the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, so naturally they couldn't give up. Moreover, Liang Zi has already been concluded, even if Ouyang Hao does not go to the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, he can't stop others from coming. If you wait for a few years for the cultivation of the family to increase greatly, and then bring a large number of junior brothers to take revenge, the Ouyang family will be in danger of ruin. So the most critical issue now is to resolve this grudge.
In this case, Ouyang Hao couldn't back down, he had to go back to the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, and he had to solve the problem properly.
The old patriarch Ouyang told Ouyang Hao a lot of truths, from the rise and fall of the Ouyang family to Ouyang Hao's personal future, Ouyang Hao still refused to go back with a look of fear. Later, the old patriarch was angry and said, "If you don't finish this matter for me, I'll beat you to death right now!"
As soon as he said this, Ouyang Hao listened to it, obediently returned to the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, and then went to Canglan Valley to find Shang Bai to make amends.
When Shang Bai heard that Ouyang Hao was looking for him, he knew that this guy was here to deliver bamboo poles to the door, and he was in a much happier mood. Of course, when he met Ouyang Hao, he behaved very unpleasantly, and said with a straight face: "If you don't find a way to squat and do business, why are you coming to me?"
"Huh?" Ouyang Hao was stunned, thinking that I am not a trader, what kind of business are I doing on the side of the road? After a while, he realized that Shang Bai was mocking the Ouyang family for liking to block the road and rob, and his face turned red all of a sudden, and he said: "Those are a few stupid people who don't open their eyes, and they collide with Senior Brother, and please ask Senior Brother to do a lot, don't be like them." ”
"Senior Brother Ouyang, you have such a big face, I was robbed by your family and lost so much face, you want me not to pursue it with the words 'a large number of adults'. Shang Bai sneered, "Senior brother, you have face, but what about my face? Tell me, where did you lose all my face, let me see if I can find it." ”
"Senior brother, don't say that. Ouyang Hao smiled and said, "How can you let you lose face in vain, senior brother?" The old patriarch of our family has already severely punished those fools. The old patriarch also said, in order to let you dissipate your anger, senior brother, we are willing to compensate you, senior brother, well, ruthlessly!"
Shang Bai almost laughed, it was really difficult for such a second ancestor to deal with this matter. However, he still said with a straight face: "Then do you think that I have lost such a big face, how much compensation do I need to be suitable?"
"The old patriarch of our family said-" Ouyang Hao patted his chest and said, "Within a thousand spirit stones, I can be the master!"
Shang Bai no longer looked at him, turned his face to the side, flicked his fingers, and sneered: "It seems that my face is still very worthless." ”
Ouyang Hao's eyes widened—a thousand spirit stones for a face, isn't it worthwhile? I think it's worth a lot!
"Of course, it doesn't matter if my face is worth my money or not. Shang Bai looked at his fingertips and said coldly: "But is this my face-saving business? This is someone who wants to rob the disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, this is someone who slanders the disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao as demons and evil spirits, this is a slap in the face of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, and it is a loss of face for the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao!"
Ouyang Hao heard this cold sweat, and said in his heart: "Senior brother, you actually represent the face of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, your face is really big enough." ”
Shang Bai patted the tea case and looked at Ouyang Hao: "Senior Brother Ouyang, you actually sold the face of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao for a price of one thousand spirit stones, what are you asking me to say about you?
As soon as he slapped the tea case, he scared Ouyang Hao half to death. Speaking of the back, he was even more violent, and he exerted all the divine thoughts in the middle of Qi training, which frightened Ouyang Hao's face pale, and he couldn't say anything: "That'...... Then how many spirit stones do you say are worth now?"
Shang Bai didn't answer this question, there was a trap in this question, he didn't want to step into it, but mentioned another thing: "I heard that you spent 10,000 spirit stones in order to snatch someone else's place to enter the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao...... Pretty rich. ”
Ouyang Hao was shocked, and his whole body trembled: "No...... There is no such thing...... Absolutely nothing!"
"Hmph, the sister and brother of the Nading family are good friends with me. Shang Bai said coldly, "I won't say anything else, you can't be the master anyway." Bring my words to your family patriarch. Tell him that it is life or death, it is up to him to choose!"
When Ouyang Hao brought Shang Bai's words back to the family, the old patriarch said a few times No wonder, his face was bitter, but there was nothing he could do.
Shang Bai's price is very clear - 10,000 spirit stones.
Either hand over the spirit stone, or never die.
The important people of the Ouyang family all got together and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to come up with this ten thousand spirit stones.
