Chapter 177: Eating Too Much
Several sword spirit boys gathered together, and immediately chattered non-stop, Bai Ze wanted to interject several times, but found that it was impossible, so he had to smile bitterly.
He said that he came here today, just to absorb enough golden essence true qi with the help of the gold devouring bead to improve his cultivation, seeing that a few boys were chatting happily, the surname Suo did not bother, and he walked up the stone pillar along the steps.
The stone pillars in this sword mound are divided into seven layers, and from the bottom to the top, the quality of the flying sword gradually improves.
The mortal soldiers of the first layer were naturally not taken seriously by Bai Ze, and the flying sword of the second layer was absorbed by him last time, and there was no value of nostalgia, so this time he stepped directly to the third layer.
The quality of the flying swords in the third layer can be regarded as a qualitative leap from the first two layers, and many flying swords have begun to have spiritual consciousness and will choose their own masters.
Therefore, when the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect come to pick swords, they will first put their target on this layer.
However, the law of "Spirit Sword Choosing the Master" is not applicable to Bai Ze, with the "Gold Devouring Bead" in his hand, and his cultivation is high enough, the flying sword at this level cannot resist him.
Bai Ze looked around, and casually pulled out a jet-black arc-shaped sword from the stone wall, and at the same time urged the "Gold Devouring Bead" in the dantian to begin to devour the essence of that sword.
With his current cultivation, devouring this sword is just half a pillar of incense, after half a stick of incense, the sword has become light and fluttering like paper paste, Bai Ze inserted it back into its original position, and then casually pulled out a dark red short sword next to it, drawing a scoop according to the gourd, and devouring it as well.
There are about a thousand flying swords in this third layer, Bai Ze kept an eye on it, walked around the stone pillar, and randomly picked about a third to absorb it, so as not to cause trouble to himself and Yu Hai.
Maybe it's because his cultivation is now high, and it's becoming more and more difficult to upgrade again, maybe it's because he is a fellow practitioner of the three laws, and the true qi he needs is too huge, in short, the hundreds of flying swords in the third layer are absorbed, and Bai Ze's cultivation has not improved qualitatively, so he set his sights on the fourth layer again.
The seven sword spirit boys were still chattering non-stop at first, but after a while, they all fell silent and focused their eyes on Bai Ze.
At this time, Bai Ze had already walked around the fourth layer, and after absorbing hundreds of immortal swords again, he still didn't feel satisfied, and began to aim at the fifth layer.
"What is he doing? Is it fun to draw a sword?" asked the "Autumn Cicada" boy in purple clothes, stunned.
The red-clothed "fish intestine" boy interjected: "Stupid! can't you see that he is absorbing the golden essence qi in the flying sword?"
"Xiao Ye, isn't this kid's cultivation speed a bit exaggerated?" the "Liuli" boy in green clothes asked in disbelief.
"It's indeed an exaggeration, it's only been less than ten years, and it's already advanced from "Qi Refining" to the realm of "Ming surname"!" Xiao Ye said with a smile, glanced at the eldest of several children, the stunned boy, and said, "Even if it is Patriarch Ling Xiao, it seems that his cultivation speed back then was slightly inferior, right?"
The stunned boy glanced at Xiao Ye, and then at Bai Ze, and only then burst out of his mouth four words: "Ten years?"
After absorbing about one-third of the golden essence true qi of the third and fourth layers, Bai Ze's cultivation was finally promoted from the third order of the "Ming surname" to the fifth order of the "Ming surname", but he was not satisfied, and walked to the fifth layer of the sword mound.
The flying swords of this layer, the lowest level is also the peak of the fourth order, and the higher ones have reached the fifth order, and any one of them falls out, I am afraid that it will cause a large number of disciples to be jealous.
Bai Ze's eyes swept at random, and he saw an ancient sword deeply inserted into the stone wall not far in front of him, which did not reach the handle, only revealing a small blade, but only this small blade exuded a rippling light like autumn water.
The hilt of the sword is the head of the dragon swallowing the mouth, the gold wire is entangled, it looks full of momentum, presumably the owner of this sword was once a good person.
Bai Ze saw that this sword was very pleasing to the eye, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it out of the stone wall, and under the rotation of the "Gold Devouring Bead", a suction force was generated from his palm, wanting to absorb the golden essence qi in this sword in the same way.
On the third and fourth layers, Bai Ze's absorption of the Golden Essence Qi could be said to be smooth, but in the fifth layer, the situation suddenly changed.
The sword writhed and jumped in Bai Ze's palm, as if it was unwilling to be restrained, and as it struggled, the other flying swords in the entire sword mound seemed to be sensitive, trembling on the stone wall, and letting out bursts of wails.
Bai Ze was startled, and at the same time, seven sword spirit boys suddenly appeared around him, and Xiao Ye hurriedly shouted, "Quickly plug it back, quickly." ”
Bai Ze can be said to be obedient to Xiao Ye, and when he heard this, he immediately inserted the ancient sword back as it was, and the sword mound regained its calm.
"Good risk, good risk, good risk. Several sword spirit boys said together.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ze still couldn't figure out the situation.
"Boss, you're really good!" Xiao Ye wiped the sweat on his head and said, "In just a while, the golden essence qi in the entire sword shrine will be almost absorbed by you, and if you forcibly absorb it, the entire sword shrine will collapse!"
There is a delicate balance in all things in the world, and once a certain balance is broken, no one can predict the chain reaction it will cause.
Hearing Xiao Ye say this, Bai Ze realized that he had indeed "eaten" too much just now, and the golden essence qi in this sword mound was obviously much thinner than when he first came in.
"So, you've reached your limit today?"
"Hmm!" a few sword spirit boys headed.
"Okay then!" Bai Ze was reluctant to force it, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, he wasn't sure if the improvements he had obtained from his cultivation could guarantee that he would defeat Tingquan tomorrow.
"Boss, are you still worried?" Xiao Ye observed Bai Ze's worries, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten something?"
Bai Ze was stunned by what he said, and subconsciously asked, "What?"
"Haha......" Several sword spirit boys laughed together, and one of them, the boy in Tsing Yi with the most delicate eyebrows, said: "The flying sword of the fifth layer is only at the level of the fourth and fifth order, even if you absorb a few more, it will be difficult to improve your strength qualitatively, but our few sword spirit boys are different!"
Xiao Ye said: "Yes, boss, my brothers and sisters are at least seventh-order immortal swords, which are several grades higher than the flying swords of this layer, aren't you tempted?"
Hearing Xiao Ye say this, Bai Ze Huo Ran remembered that when he first entered the Sword Shrine, the stunned boy had said that once he cultivated enough to withstand the soul impact of the sword spirit when he recognized the master, he could come over and get their recognition.
"Do you mean ......?"
"That's what I meant!" Xiao Ye nodded straight and said, "As long as you can get another brother or sister to recognize you, Tingquan won't have to worry about it!"
