Cheng Ling asked: "Brother Jian is here this time. Has the negotiation in the north ended and we can go back to the academy?"
Jian Yinghao said: "Yes, but the Cheng family has another condition, which is that Brother Cheng must return Qingliufang City!"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal to return it. Anyway, I've basically dug all the mines here, leaving an empty shell for them to do whatever they want!"
"What kind of mine? Is there a spirit stone mine here?" Jian Yinghao asked hurriedly, his eyes shining.
Cheng Ling was speechless, and his quick words actually caused him to misunderstand, so he explained: "Brother Jian misunderstood, there are no spiritual stone mines here, I mean, I have earned everything I should have earned this month!"
Jian Yinghao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng's amazing skills are really a blessing to my Famous Sword Academy!"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and was not impressed by his words. Originally, the experience of this trip gave me a sense of belonging to the Famous Sword Academy, but I didn't expect that the good situation I created with all my efforts would be easily destroyed by Cheng Maofa. The top management of the academy is indeed stupid, with constant infighting and short-sightedness!
The future of such a sect is really limited. No wonder it ranks last among the five major academies. He glanced at Jian Yinghao and asked, "When will we set off?"
Jian Yinghao clearly felt the change in his tone, and knowing that he felt unhappy, he said, "Brother Cheng, you can leave whenever you want!"
"Then go back and clean up, and leave tomorrow morning!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Returning to the guest room, he asked someone to call Song Yuan over. Some things still had to follow his own wishes.
Song Yuan came quickly, and now he is completely convinced by Cheng Ling. Not to mention the superb level of alchemy, he only used a small trick to rob the southern monks of their available financial resources. Now, even if the Cheng family takes back the Qingliu Pill Shop, there will be little benefit in a short period of time.
He bowed to Cheng Ling and saluted, and said, "Young master is a genius, I admire him! What are your orders?"
Cheng Ling said: "Song Yuan, we will return to Mingjian Academy tomorrow. The situation of the confrontation in the north has become clear. The two sides have negotiated and compromised. In the future, Qingliufang City will also be returned to the Cheng family."
"I called you here today because I want to ask you what you think. Will you continue to stay in Danpu, follow me to the academy, or let me arrange another place for you to go?"
Song Yuan was shocked, he didn't expect such an ending. It's definitely not possible to stay in the alchemy shop. If the Cheng family comes back, they will have to shave him alive. As for the Famous Sword Academy, it doesn't seem to be a good place. The Cheng family is still powerful. The only thing left is to let Cheng Ling Arrangements were made for him.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I am a sinner of the Cheng family. It is inappropriate to stay here or go to the academy. Please arrange a place for me!"
Cheng Ling nodded and said: "I understand, don't worry, since you are loyal to me, I will not let you be wronged. We will find out by then! Also, I will also take away the two worshipers of the Cheng family. If If they don’t want to, you know what to do!”
Song Yuan felt a chill in his heart and left.
The next day, everyone got ready and gathered in the backyard early. The two alchemy ministers of the Cheng family were forced by Song Yuan and had no choice but to leave together.
Jian Yinghao waited for everyone to arrive, then he took out a flying puppet from the storage ring and explained: "The other staff in the academy have already returned, and I specially asked my uncle for a flying puppet so that I can go back as soon as possible! "
Cheng Ling nodded slightly, without saying anything, and walked directly onto the back of the flying puppet, and everyone also walked up one by one.
Jian Yinghao knew that he was in a bad mood, so he just silently activated the flying puppet
The puppet instantly rose into the air and flew towards the direction of Famous Sword Academy.
The flying puppet is very fast. It originally took five days. Now, in less than a day, everyone returned to the academy.
Cheng Ling said hello to Jian Yinghao and took Song Yuan and the two worshippers back to Zhuyin Pavilion. After not seeing him for a few months, he didn't know what happened to Wu Chenlong. As for the affairs in the academy, he didn't want to worry about it anymore.
Originally, he wanted to contribute most of the gains from this trip to the academy, but now it seems that he should keep it for himself and return to the Wuxiang Sword Sect in a few days. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and the master's death anniversary is coming soon.
Wu Chenlong got the news early and waited in front of Zhuyin Pavilion early. Seeing Cheng Ling and others turning around, they came forward happily.
Cheng Ling looked at him and said with satisfaction: "Yes, he is at the peak of the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It seems that you have also gained a lot from this trip. Tell me, what have you experienced since we parted?"
Wu Chenlong led the four of them back to Zhuyin Pavilion. After everyone sat down, he opened up his chatterbox and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say. The situation was very chaotic at that time. I couldn't resist the attack of those monks, so I could only avoid it temporarily and escape." Into the dense forest.”
"Later, I recovered my cultivation in the dense forest and looked for traces of the boss. But I couldn't find any traces of the boss for a month. It wasn't until I found the movement of Brother Jian crossing the tribulation that I followed the direction and looked for him. Later, we returned to the academy. .Boss, how is your situation?"
Cheng Ling then selected some of his experiences after the separation and told him. Wu Chenlong felt a great pity and shouted that it would have been better if he had found them, and his cultivation would have improved even more.
Cheng Ling was not very interested. After talking about his experience, he sent a few people back to rest. Zhuyin Pavilion is very large, more than enough to accommodate a few people, and there is no need to trouble the academy disciples who are assigned residences.
The days were not boring. Cheng Ling wanted to go back to the academy and visit the Wuxiang Sword Sect, but Jian Yinghao told him when they left, not to run out yet. The academy might look for him, so he could only stay in Zhuzhu. Waiting quietly in the sound pavilion.
Three days later, as expected, a disciple came to send a message saying that the master of the hospital was inviting him.
Cheng Ling asked: "Master of the main hospital?"
"No, he is the master of our Kendo Academy."
Cheng Ling nodded and followed him.
Half an hour later, Cheng Ling arrived at a peak in the Kendo Academy. I saw that the mountain peak towered towards the sky, like a long sword unsheathed. On the mountain peak, there were low grass and trees, and each one seemed to contain wisps of sword intent!
Cheng Ling nodded secretly. This kind of place is like the residence of a master of swordsmanship. The surrounding environment is affected by it, just like a sword, sharp and pure!
The disciple said: "Senior brother, the mountain is the residence of the master of the academy. The sword in front is too strong. I can't bear it, so I sent it here first!"
Cheng Ling nodded and climbed up the stairs. The closer he walked to the mountain peak, the stronger the sword intent he felt. When he reached the top of the mountain, he felt sharp edges coming from him. Cheng Ling couldn't help but spurt out his own sword intent, confronting the sword intent on the mountain.
Clang!
A harsh sword cry rang out, and Cheng Ling's sword intent collided with the sword intent on the mountain peak, resulting in the sound of gold and iron clashing. His sword intent has increased to 50% in the Agni Fire Cult, and he is already considered the first among his disciples.
The sword intent on the mountain peak was issued by Jian Wuya, the master of the Kendo Academy. After listening to the words of Jian Yinghao and his brother Jian Laodao, he admired Cheng Ling very much. I realized the meaning of the sword when I was in the outer sect, but I don’t know what state it has reached now.
For a while, I wanted to try it when I saw Hunter Xin was happy. The sword intent on his body was strong, and he wanted to see if Cheng Ling could reach the top of the mountain. Jian Wuya's sword intention has reached the level of Dacheng. Although due to the distance, the intensity of the sword intention is somewhat limited.
It's weakened, but it's still amazing.
As soon as Cheng Ling made contact, he felt his heart tremble, and his sword intention seemed to be torn apart. Fortunately, he had experience with the Fiery Sect's sword formation. As soon as the sword intention showed signs of dissipating, his own spiritual power would be poured into it and forcefully gathered together.
In this way, his sword intention is constantly changing between dissipating and gathering, and the concentration of his sword intention is also improving. He even sat down cross-legged, concentrated, and kept fighting against the sword intent on the mountain.
"Huh!"
Jian Wuya had already noticed Cheng Ling's arrival and just wanted to test the strength of Cheng Ling's sword intent. Unexpectedly, he discovered that Cheng Ling's sword intention was so powerful, only slightly inferior to his own, and looking at his current posture, he was obviously using his own sword intention to refine it.
With great joy in his heart, 70% of his sword intent spurted out to help Cheng Ling refine it.
Cheng Ling's sword intent continued to improve and condense during the resistance. From the early 50%, to the mid-50%, and then to the later stage, it was about to break through to 60%. It's a pity that the sword intent on the mountain peak can no longer be satisfied.
He stood up and rushed forward in an instant. The sword intention in front of him was indeed more powerful, and the tempering of his sword intention was improved again!
"It's not enough, there's still a little missing! Senior, please give me a helping hand!"
Cheng Ling's face was distorted, and his sword intent reached the peak of 50%, but it was still far away from 60%. He frantically activated his sword intent and kept walking in the direction of Jian Wuya!
Jian Wuya's heart was trembling. He had 50% peak sword power, which even sword heroes could not reach. This son's talent in swordsmanship was really astonishing. And obviously, now is a critical moment. Whether you can break through to 60% depends on your ability.
He closed his eyes, and after a moment, two sharp rays of light emitted from his eyes, and 70% of the peak sword intent erupted! This is already his highest sword intent. It took more than ten years to reach the peak of 70% from the early stage of 70%!
Cheng Ling felt as if a long sword soaring into the sky was coming out of its sheath in front of him. The edge of the sword was strengthened several times, and it struck him fiercely. His sword intent dissipated instantly, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
"Give it to me!"
The veins on his forehead were prominent. Cheng Ling advanced instead of retreating. He unleashed his mental power to the maximum extent and forcibly gathered the scattered sword intent. Soon, an illusory sword condensed on top of his head. The sword was very short, only about an inch long.
However, the sword, which was almost an inch long, kept growing under the concentration of mental power. From one inch, to two inches, to three inches...one foot, two feet, three feet...!
"Qiang!"
After an unknown amount of time, after a sword cry, the sword above his head finally condensed and took shape, becoming a three-foot-five-inch illusory sword. Sixty percent sword intent, done!
Jian Wuya looked at all this in shock, and slowly withdrew his sword intent. Just one confrontation with the sword intent raised this kid's sword intent to a higher level. Although the improvement between 50% and 60% does not cross a large level, it is still very difficult.
I think it took me almost a hundred years to improve from 50% to 60%, but I didn't expect that Cheng Ling did it in just a few hours. My brother and Yinghao are right, this son is indeed the pillar of the Kendo Academy!
Cheng Ling stood there for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, bowed to Jian Wuya and said, "Disciple Cheng Ling, thank you so much, Master, for your help!"
Jian Wuya looked at him happily. After a long time, he said: "Yes, he is indeed a good candidate for kendo. Cheng Ling, the main academy is nothing special. It doesn't matter if you don't go. From today on, you will be the elder of our kendo academy." !”
Cheng Ling was startled, looked at Jian Wuya in surprise, and thought to himself: What's going on? The promotion speed is too fast. I was promoted directly from employee to general manager. I can't accept it all at once!
