Mingjian Academy is located in the south of Canglan Continent. The largest mountain range in the south is the Shiwandashan. One hundred thousand mountains does not refer to one hundred thousand peaks, but to a large number of mountains stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Wherever there are only one hundred thousand, one million is more than enough.
Thousands of years ago, the first generation master of the academy came to the south and saw the environment of Shiwanda Mountain. He was overjoyed and built the academy here. The original name was Sword Academy because the first generation master of the academy studied swordsmanship intensively.
Cheng Ling also complained about this. What do you call a monastic institution? It looks like a university.
Later, when I saw the introduction of the academy on the disciple token, I found out that the third generation master of the academy was a learned scholar. He entered the Tao through books and had amazing understanding. He pushed the reputation of the Mingjian Academy to its peak, so the name was changed to Mingjian. Academy.
It's just that the talents and qualifications of the dozens of generations of academy masters that followed were only average. They could only maintain success and had no ability to make progress. They could only barely maintain the conditions of the academy.
Canglan Continent is so vast, how could there be only one monastic school like this. Over the past thousands of years, various schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, gradually replacing the position of the Famous Sword Academy.
Fortunately, the academy has hundreds of thousands of mountains as a barrier, so it is located in a corner and is stuck in its ways. To the monastic schools in other directions across the continent, it was nothing. Even so, in the south, he is still the undisputed overlord, and no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard.
Therefore, most of Shiwandashan has become the back garden of Famous Sword Academy. Countless resources and the experience of disciples are often drawn from the mountains.
But with more resources, there are also more crises. Among the hundreds of thousands of mountains, many mountains are rarely visited by people, especially the south of the academy, which is sparsely populated and rarely visited by monks. The monsters, plants, swamps, and dense forests in the mountains may all become life-threatening for humans.
Cheng Ling is training in a mountain range in the south. He took on dozens of sect missions, many of which were missions to collect materials and herbs. The best place was naturally the rarely visited southern mountains.
As for the north, the academy disciples have had too much experience. Millions of disciples have almost scraped off a layer of skin from the mountain ranges over thousands of years. It takes more time and is more difficult to collect herbs or minerals.
Therefore, he could only go to the mountains in the south to try his luck. As for the danger, he didn't care. Who says the southern mountains must be more dangerous? Are the northern mountain ranges no longer in danger? Moreover, if you go to the north, you will have more chances to meet other inner disciples, which is not conducive to hiding your identity.
Or do the mountains in the south conform to my own wishes? The sea and sky are vast, allowing me to soar! As long as you don't encounter monsters that are above the transformation level, you should be able to escape unscathed by your own methods.
Now, he is fighting a red-blooded thunder leopard. The Red-Blooded Thunder Leopard is a level five monster. It is very fast and has strong defense, but its attack is slightly inferior. But this way, it was just what I wanted, and I had room to display my two-style sword skills.
"Ningjian Jue", "Mianli Needle"
He kept using two sword skills and fought with the Red-Blooded Thunder Leopard for more than half an hour. The understanding of sword skills is gradually strengthened, and the proficiency is also gradually improved. In just five breaths, you can activate sword skills and prepare defense and attack in time.
"Wind and thunder change"
After continuing to fight for a while, seeing that he could no longer increase the power of his sword skills, he used his offensive sword skills and killed him with one sword.
"Not yet, five breaths is too long. The two are competing, and every opportunity is very important. The pressure is still not enough, we need to fight stronger monsters!"
With a slight stroke of the Thunder Cloud Sword, the claws and teeth of the Red-Blooded Thunder Leopard fell into his hand, and he put them into the storage ring.
Inside, these two materials are exactly what the academy needs.
Now, after understanding the wind and thunder changes, the Thunder Cloud Sword has a second spring. Because it has a 20% thunder attribute bonus, it is not much different from ordinary low-grade and high-grade swords, but is slightly less sharp and hard.
After collecting the materials, continue walking deeper into the mountains. The materials collected now are not enough. He doesn't want to come out from time to time to complete the academy's tasks.
Although there are mission requirements, the academy is also very humane. The tasks of any disciple can be accumulated, that is, you can take on many tasks. After completing them all, you will not need to run for tasks for a long time.
Otherwise, if you have to complete the task at the critical moment of breaking through the realm, you are not putting the cart before the horse. The cultivation of the disciples is always the focus, and the purpose of setting tasks is just to increase the opportunities for experience and maintain the daily expenses of the academy.
Cheng Ling is taking on a year's worth of missions this time. As long as they are all completed, there is no need to go to the mission hall again for a year.
As of today, it is already the third day since I came out, but not a single task has been completed. He secretly regretted that for more than a year, the tasks he took on were basically collection tasks. Each task required a lot of work and was very cumbersome.
Unfortunately, other tasks include delivering letters and killing villains. The distance to deliver letters is too far, and the ability to kill villains is not enough. Currently, the only tasks suitable for him are collection tasks.
"Use it slowly, just think of it as honing your sword skills."
Feeling depressed, I could only comfort myself and collect herbs and minerals along the way. At this moment, he felt something was wrong. The dense forest ahead was too quiet, without any sound, as if he had entered the territory of a powerful monster.
As soon as his consciousness swept away, his expression changed, and hundreds of wind demon wolves surrounded him behind him, each with their mouths wide open, saliva gurgling from their mouths. Looking around again, I found that there were many wolves surrounding me on both sides, but there seemed to be no movement at all in front.
But he didn't dare to move forward. The wolf is a gregarious animal, and it is impossible to be so kind as to leave him a gap. The calm in front of him must be brewing a greater crisis.
Sure enough, within a moment, a powerful momentum slowly came over from the front. A wolf king as big as a cow came into his sight.
Cheng Ling took a breath. This wolf king was at least a level six top monster and was on the verge of transformation. He smiled bitterly in his heart, and had been focusing on collecting materials, but he didn't even know he was surrounded by wolves.
This is terrible. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. How to escape from so many wind demon wolves. He didn't think about confrontation at all. If there were only these wolves, he was not afraid. The most terrifying thing was the wolf king.
Level 6 monsters are no joke. They can still deal with each other one on one, but they can't stand up to the number of others. Looking around, there are at least 500 of them, maybe more.
"Ouch~~~!"
Just when they were about to use their sword wings and find a direction to break out of the encirclement, the Wolf King took the lead and launched the charge with a long cry. The wolves rushed towards him one by one.
Cheng Ling could only cheer up, injected his true energy into the Thunder Cloud Sword, and integrated the sword's intention into it, increasing its lethality, and faced the rushing wolves.
"Wind and lingering clouds"
A large-area sword move was used to temporarily repel the wolves in front of him, but he found that he didn't kill any of them.
"Damn it, it's just too much for the number, and the defense is so high, for God's sake, you are playing tricks on me!"
Cheng Ling cursed, the fifth-level monster, Qingfeng swordsmanship could no longer keep up with the rhythm.
If you play, you can only use stronger sword moves. The swordsmanship changed, and Leiyun swordsmanship was used. Fortunately, there was a sword bonus and a certain degree of lethality.
But this doesn't work. Ordinary sword moves cannot cause large-scale damage to the wolves. If you kill them one by one, God knows how many more wolves will come over. But if you use a killing move, your true energy will be consumed even more, and you don’t know how long it will last.
He started thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and suddenly remembered that his Cloud-breaking Sword was fused from Baiyun Swordsmanship and Yunyin Swordsmanship. After the fusion, the lethality was greatly increased, but the amount of real energy consumed was not much increased. Why not try the fusion? Other sword moves?
Qingfeng Swordsmanship and Thunder Cloud Swordsmanship, although these two swordsmanships are outdated, they are definitely of high grade. If they can be fused to form a stronger killing move, the power of the killing move will definitely not be low.
Just do whatever comes to mind, start with Qingfeng Swordsmanship, and slowly integrate sword moves. The basic swordsmanship of the first thirty moves is relatively simple, and I have already mastered it. It doesn't take much effort to integrate them. After a while, the first ten moves were integrated.
He tried to hit a few swords and stabbed a wind demon wolf. My eyes lit up, there was a way, this method seemed feasible!
The spirit was greatly boosted, and he continued to try to fuse. He used the two sword skills of "Condensing Sword Jue" and "Mianli Needle" to strengthen his defense and temporarily stopped using sword skills that could cause large-scale damage.
Fortunately, the Wolf King claimed his identity and just watched Cheng Ling fight with a group of boys, standing firmly on a big rock and not participating in the battle.
This gave Cheng Ling time to integrate, and the two defensive sword skills gradually improved. Under strong pressure, his defense and counterattack capabilities greatly increased.
The skill is running, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth crazily. Although it is not enough to replenish the consumption, it can make him persist longer.
Sometimes, he was also surprised by the technique in the golden pages. Now it has reached the fourth level. The eight meridians throughout the body are connected, and the operation routes of the exercises are complicated. But relatively speaking, moving a large circle of heaven will produce more real energy, and the cultivation speed will increase very quickly.
But recently, due to lack of combat experience, his cultivation has been stagnant at the early stage of Nascent Soul. Now in the battle, he is constantly consuming and replenishing, revitalizing all the stagnant true energy in the body, and gradually moving towards the initial peak.
An hour later, the Qingfeng Swordsmanship was integrated into the twentieth move, and the power of the attack was already comparable to that of the God of Thunder. The two sword skills of "Ningjian Jue" and "Mianli Needle" have also reached the level of Xiaocheng and are moving towards Dacheng.
Unfortunately, the real energy consumption is gradually increasing, and the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still unable to be replenished in time. Besides, the spiritual energy in the dense forest is not rich enough. Cheng Ling could only reluctantly take out the spirit fruit to replenish the consumed real energy.
Now, there are not many spiritual fruits left on the body, and every one is precious. As for the Xuanyang Fruit, I didn't want to touch any of the twenty remaining ones, just waiting to gather the materials to refine the Xuanyuan Pill.
Alchemy has reached the peak of the fourth level in two months. As long as you gather other auxiliary materials, you can try to refine Xuanyuan Dan. One Xuanyang Fruit can be used to refine five Xuanyuan Pills. Of course, the pills are cost-effective. This is also a major reason why he chose the collection task.
Moreover, the Xuanyuan Pill is effective throughout the Nascent Soul stage, and is definitely the first choice pill to quickly improve one's cultivation level. For this reason, they all had the idea of going to Yanhu to ask for some Xuanyang Fruit. At least from the map, the mountain range where it was located was not far from the Famous Sword Academy.
As for Wu Chenlong, he had already sent a message to him, telling him not to use the Xuanyang Fruit and to save it for the inner sect before using it to refine pills.
But these are all things after returning to the academy. At present, the most important thing is to escape from the siege of the Wind Demon Wolf as soon as possible!
