Chapter 16: The Contest I
In the months that followed, Shi Dong cultivated in this way, and it really benefited greatly, not only the chakra injuries had already healed, but also gradually increased. This indirectly increased the speed of his True Qi cultivation, which was already two percent faster than at the beginning, and was still slowly improving.
However, the physique of the four spiritual roots is really troublesome, and when he uses the Qi Cultivation Pill to absorb the Yin Qi, his cultivation is very fast, but when he absorbs the Yin Qi from the surroundings, it is often mixed with a lot of spiritual energy impurities, so that he can only repeatedly use the chakra to turn the evil spirit, at least three times to get rid of it.
In this way, his overall cultivation speed is not very fast, if he was originally at the bottom of the stream, now he is only in the middle of the stream.
But the benefits are not without it, one is that he is more proficient in the control of the evil qi, and the other is that he is physically strong and powerful, which has a great advantage.
Now that he has more than 200 catties of strength, he can pick up two stone piers at a time and cultivate.
This made Shi Dong quite happy, thinking that even if he couldn't break through the first layer of the Qi Refining Period within a year, with this strength, he would be much stronger than mortals. If you take 10,000 steps back, if you really want to return to Shijia Village, you can at least ensure that your mother and sister can live a good life.
......
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
The mass of evil qi in the stone moving dantian has changed from the original size of a sesame seed to the size of a soybean grain.
Now that you can make persistent efforts and make it as big as a broad bean, you can try to break through the first layer of the Qi Refining Period.
But he ran into trouble, and now he had to take two bottles of Blood Nourishing Pill and two bottles of Qi Cultivation Pill a month, which made his spirit stone unable to make ends meet.
In the first month, he had the cheekiness to ask Wang Baobao for a credit, although the two now have a good relationship, and Shi Dong also helped him introduce a few new disciples to the past, but his cultivation is only the fifth layer of the Qi refining period, and he has to use spirit stones to turn over pills, so he really has no extra resources to help Shi Dong.
Therefore, I can't say anything this month, and I can't pull my face, and I will trouble Wang Baobao again.
Cultivating in an ordinary way, the speed was simply outrageously slow, which made Shi Dong persist for more than half a month, and he really couldn't bear it.
Seeing that if it continues like this, it will become a problem to even break through the first layer of the Qi refining period.
After this day was finished, Shi Dong became anxious, holding the map in his left palm, and secretly thought: "His grandmother's, otherwise, if he gets out, he will find a way to get close to Mao Feifei and dig out Zhou Denuo's "Gambling Ghost Sutra", and he will definitely be able to earn a lot of spirit stones!"
In the past six months, Shi Dong has quietly inquired around, and has obtained some information about the mysterious Senior Brother Zhou, it is said that in the more than 30 years of the Demon Demon Gate, he has gambled on the spirit ghosts a total of seven times, and sold hundreds of spirit stones.
And he often disappears, someone has seen him in the public square market at the junction of Youzhou and Zhongzhou, and he has seen a suspicious figure, and that person also gambled on a few ghosts, and suddenly disappeared.
What's even more strange is that this mysterious Senior Brother Zhou has a large number of spirit stones in his hands, but his cultivation speed is like a turtle speed, and he has never broken through the late stage of qi refining for so many years.
The so-called gas refining period is divided into 12 layers, with the first to third layers being the early stage, the fourth to ninth layers being the middle stage, and the 10th to 12th layer being the late stage.
According to the usual rules, if you can cultivate in the sect for thirty years, even if you can't build a foundation, at least it is in the late stage of qi refining.
But this Senior Brother Zhou, it seems that a lot of time has been spent studying gambling ghosts, and the whole person is chattering, every time Bai Jin expels him, he will take out a spirit stone, so Bai Jin doesn't say anything anymore.
As for Situ Jin, he was an ascetic who had been in retreat all year round, and the management of the following named disciples was completely handed over to Bai Jin.
Since Zhou Denuo seemed to have been protected by Bai Jin, and the others didn't dare to say anything, this person could be regarded as a wonderful flower in Cloud Mist Peak.
But this time, Bai Jin took advantage of the new disciple to enter, and actually expelled Zhou Denuo, which shocked all the old disciples, and quietly discussed it in private, which naturally made Shi Dongda, who had a heart, hear a lot of information.
These messages made Shi Dong even more confirmed his previous speculation - there must be an extraordinary secret between Zhou Denuo and Bai Jin!
And this secret, once you get Zhou Denuo's Gambling Ghost Sutra, maybe it will be cracked.
"The question is...... What opportunity should I find to get close to that Mao Feifei?" Shi Dong's eyes flickered, and he secretly thought in his heart.
In the past six months, he has not relaxed his attention to Mao Feifei at all, and every time he goes out to buy medicine for Wang Baobao, he has to quietly investigate.
It's a pity that Mao Feifei has been practicing hard behind closed doors since he got the light spirit ghost, and occasionally he came out to receive monthly profits, and he went back to the cave after buying some Qi Cultivation Pill, and he didn't stay out at all.
This made Shi Dong unable to find a chance to get close at all, and it would not be good if he rashly came to the door and fell into Bai Jin's ears.
After thinking about it, Shi Dong couldn't think of any good way.
When I was anxious, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside, accompanied by some anxious and excited whispers: "Hurry! Go and see! Mao Feifei and Lei Hao are fighting!"
"Where is it?"
"Martial arts arena, go quickly! Go quickly! It's too late, and there will be no good position!"
Shi Dong's two eyes suddenly widened, and one jumped up from the bed, followed by rushing out of the cave.
As soon as he came out, he was taken aback, only to see dozens of new and old disciples running out of the corridor, all of them excited and excited, and they all ran outside.
When a new disciple who was quite familiar with Shi Dong saw him, he grabbed him by the arm and shouted excitedly: "Shi Dong, go quickly! Mao Feifei and Lei Hao are competing with spirits and ghosts, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Come with me and take a look!"
Shi moved suddenly, no wonder the competition between these two new disciples attracted so many people, it turned out that what everyone really wanted to see was the contest between the "strong ghost and the light ghost". As soon as these two people entered the door, they opened a spirit ghost, after more than half a year of cultivation, they should already be able to skillfully control the two spirit ghosts, which is better or worse, just about to compete to see.
In this way, Shi Dong also felt inexplicably excited, and immediately ran forward without saying a word, following the man.
The martial arts arena is located on the upper level of Yunwu Peak, everyone ran all the way up, and the people who heard the news along the way joined one after another, and when they came to the martial arts arena, there were already hundreds of people gathered in the three layers and the outer three layers.
Shi Dong squeezed into the crowd, stared at a pair of small eyes and looked around, only to see that this martial arts arena was hundreds of feet in circumference, built in a huge cave in Yunwu Peak.
In the middle is a high platform dozens of zhang wide, one zhang high from the ground, surrounded by a layer of corrugated prohibition, which plays a protective role in the high platform, and there are two people standing in the prohibition.
A tall man with thick lips and a broad nose, at the age of fourteen or fifteen years old, his lips were already full of plush beards, it was Mao Feifei, who looked at the other side with an irritated face at this time.
The person who confronted him, with a handsome face, a blue robe lined with a long and straight figure, and a rather chic figure under his hands behind his back, was Lei Hao. But he looked so tidy, and he seemed to be very proud of the fact that so many people were watching.
Under the high platform was a large open space, and most of the onlookers were new and old registered disciples of Cloud Mist Peak, and there were about a hundred of them.
In the middle of the clearing, there are still a number of huge rocks, on which there are more than fifty monks standing scattered, Bai Jin, Hao Ren and other personal disciples are among them, they are getting together to discuss something; the rest are monks outside the Cloud Peak, Wang Baobao is also among them, should have heard the news and rushed from the gambling ghost shop.
Except for these people, there is no master Situ Jin, or the mysterious senior sister appearing, thinking that such a movement is not worth alarming them, it is enough to have Bai Jin and Hao Ren present to sweep the formation.
Suddenly, there was an angry shout from the high platform, Shi Dong turned his head to look, only to see Mao Feifei impatiently pointing at Lei Hao and said: "Senior Brother Lei, you and I are just testing spirit ghosts, why do you need to make such a big noise and attract so many onlookers? Do you still want to compare? If you don't compare with me, you will go down." As he spoke, he made a gesture and jumped off the platform.
"Hahaha......" Lei Hao laughed loudly, "Senior Brother Mao, if you are afraid and dare not compare, then just go!"
"Nonsense, who is afraid?" Mao Feifei glared and shouted angrily, raised his hand and made a move, and suddenly a white shadow flashed, and the light ghost quietly appeared behind him, floating around like a ghost.
Mao Feifei pointed at Lei Hao and said impatiently: "If you want to hurry, less nonsense!"
"Slow down. Lei Hao bowed to the surrounding audience, bowed in the direction of Bai Jin, and then puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Senior brothers, hello everyone! ”
Bai Jin said loudly on the high platform: "Although you two give it a go, if there is danger, I will help." This battle is related to the strength of my new disciple of Cloud Mist Peak, and I must not shrink my hands and feet and fall into the name of my sect!, understand?"
"Yes!" replied with a bow.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for mentioning it. Lei Hao respectfully added such a sentence, then turned to Mao Feifei and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Mao, Second Senior Brother said, you and I need to do our best in this battle, and we can't fall into the name of my faction." If you're afraid you'll lose ugly later, you can admit defeat now. ”
Mao Feifei's face turned red with anger when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Phew! Why do you speak so badly? When did I, Mao Feifei, be afraid? You went to Surabaya City to inquire, our Mao family blacksmiths are all with this temper, how can they speak well in front of your Lei family, but they are not clean behind your back." Hmph!"
Shi Dong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the big iron pot he bought from the Mao family's blacksmith shop, and said in his heart: "Hehe, the Mao family has this honest and stubborn temper, and the reputation of the iron weapon is good." Well, why didn't I see this Mao Feifei at the time, and I don't know how he got caught here?"
When he looked at Lei Hao in a blink of an eye, he saw that his eyes flashed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Hehe, that's good! Let Young Master Ben see your Mao family's blacksmith's ability to pick up a sledgehammer! ”
"I'll give it to you now!" Mao Feifei shook his hand, and with a flash of black light, five spirit stones fell into the center of the ring.
"Refreshing!" Lei Hao waved the sleeves of his robe, and swept the ground in a dashing manner, and five evil spirit stones were also placed where he passed.
This made the onlookers under the ring couldn't help but whisper, five evil spirit stones are not a small amount, equivalent to five months of monthly profit!
Such a big bet, coupled with the explosive verbal confrontation between the two, made the whole scene suddenly tense, and countless pairs of eyes fell on the two without blinking, expecting a fierce collision.
