It's the beginning of the month, and it's not easy to stick to three updates for a month. Please give me more encouragement and throw all kinds of votes at me!
Cheng Ling said: "It's very simple. This ancient tree is called the Fire Phoenix Tree. It can emit strong fire spiritual power, especially at night. The spiritual energy within the area covered by this tree will be several times that of usual. If my prediction is correct, your mother must often practice under the fire phoenix tree."
Xiao Ling'er thought about it and asked, "That's true, but what does this have to do with her becoming obsessed?"
"The fire spiritual power emitted by the fire phoenix tree is very rich, and it is a treasure for fire monks. But your mother has ice spiritual roots. Ice and fire are in conflict with each other, and she cannot balance the two spiritual powers, so naturally she cannot bear it."
"At worst, the practice may stop at a standstill, or at worst, the practice may go backwards, eventually leading to a madness, the muscles and veins being severed, until it is irreparable!"
Xiao Ling'er trembled, knelt down slumped, and murmured: "So that's it, my mother and I have always regarded it as a treasure, and we are not willing to sell it no matter how difficult the situation is, because this is what my father left behind." Down."
"Unexpectedly, it was the culprit that killed my mother." After saying that, I couldn't hold it in any longer, and my tears fell one after another.
Cheng Ling patted her shoulder lightly and asked, "What about your father? Where has he gone?"
"Dad disappeared before I was born. I heard from my mother that she and Brother Bao went to look for the Nine-Leaf Dragon Snake Grass outside the city, but they never came back."
Cheng Ling trembled all over and cried out: "Nine-leaf dragon snake grass! Does your father have any news about it? Tell me, where did they look for it?"
"I don't know, I just heard my mother say it. But then Brother Bao and the others came back, but my father and Brother Bao's father never came back. Therefore, my mother always suspected that Brother Bao had killed my father and Brother Bao's father. Always thinking about revenge!"
"It's a pity that Brother Bao has a huge power in Jade Capital City, and we can't do anything with our strength alone. In desperation, my mother can only work hard to practice, hoping that one day she can get revenge. Unfortunately, she went crazy because of her practice. In order to cure her Due to his injuries, he almost spent all his spiritual stones and owed a large amount of debt."
Cheng Ling had a vague feeling that things were not that simple. This fire phoenix tree looked like it was a thousand years old, so it was of great significance to the fire cultivator. Maybe Xiao Ling'er's father was coaxed out by Brother Bao and others, and then tried to find a way to seize the Fire Phoenix Tree.
But the most important thing at the moment is the news about the nine-leaf snake grass. With that kind of snake grass, Bai Suzhen has hope of getting into shape.
He carefully looked at the fire phoenix tree and found that there was a trace of formation fluctuations around it. Several mysterious lines flashed across his eyes, and he immediately saw the formation in front of him clearly. There is actually a defensive formation outside the Fire Phoenix Tree, and the level of the formation is very high, reaching the peak of the sixth level.
"Do your father and your mother know formations?"
"Yes, my father is a formation master. Therefore, although his cultivation level is not high and he is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, there are still many monks who are willing to invite him to explore the secret realm together."
Cheng Ling nodded silently. It was obvious that someone wanted to get the fire phoenix tree, but because Xiao Ling'er's father refused to sell it, he couldn't get it by force, so he had no choice but to take advantage of their mother and daughter.
After thinking for a while, I felt calm. Since these people want to get this tree, they will definitely not give up and will definitely come again. By then, he will be able to find out the whereabouts of the Nine-Leaf Spirit Snake Grass.
He glanced at the low courtyard, casually laid down a few restrictions, and said to Xiao Ling'er: "Xiao Ling'er, then I will stay here for a few days. There are 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones here, which is considered as the cost of staying overnight. Bar!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xiao Ling'er was startled and said hurriedly: "Senior, you don't need so much, just give me 10,000 spirit stones!"
"Take it as a thank you for the information you provided. By the way, how many spiritual stones do you owe them?"
"Originally, we only owed them 500,000 high-grade spiritual stones, but five years have passed and we have been unable to repay them. The number of spiritual stones has increased, and now it is 5 million."
Cheng Ling sneered in his heart, this loan shark went too fast. It has increased tenfold in five years, and it is obvious that he wants to attack Huofengshu.
He then asked: "If the prediction is correct, they must have said that if they can no longer repay the spiritual stone, they will use this courtyard to pay off the debt!"
Xiao Ling'er let out a breath and said: "Senior, you are really good, your guess is correct. At that time, Brother Bao reported our debt to the Yamen in Dongcheng. The people in the Yamen said that our courtyard was discounted by 30%. One and a half million, if we can't repay the spiritual stone in another year, we will have to mortgage the courtyard."
Cheng Ling thought to himself, this is obvious. In this jade city where every inch of land is precious, a courtyard is only worth 3.5 million high-grade spiritual stones, and it also has to be built with a thousand-year-old fire phoenix tree. These people are really shady.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Xiao Ling'er led him to the room and said, "Senior, you can live on the first floor. The courtyard here is relatively spacious. I'm on the second floor. If you need anything, you can call me anytime." .”
Cheng Ling nodded slightly and followed him into the guest room. The room is not big, only a few dozen square meters. There is a bed directly opposite. There are several landscape paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. There is a table in the center of the room and a futon on the ground. Judging from the condition of the futon, it is 80% new, so someone must have used it before.
Xiao Ling'er explained: "Senior, this was originally my mother's wing, so I had to make do with it."
"It's okay, just feel free to do it. Don't keep calling me that way, senior, just call me Cheng Ling!"
Xiao Ling'er followed the good example and called out: "Yes, Brother Cheng, it's already late today. If you want to go to Xicheng tomorrow, I'll take you there!"
Cheng Ling agreed, and Xiao Linger walked out, closing the door behind her.
He casually punched a few hidden restrictions on the door and sat down cross-legged on the futon. The information provided by Xiao Ling'er was very useful, and the Nine-leaf Snake Grass already had a clue. However, it cannot be ruled out that the other party is trying to attract the smoke emitted by Xiao Ling'er's father. Tomorrow, I still have to go to the shops in Xicheng to have a look, maybe I can gain something.
Just practice body-building exercises in one night!
The body-training techniques in the Golden Page have been practiced to the second level. All the hair has been tempered, and the next step is the skin. The skin covers a much larger area than hair, but it is easier to practice, and you don't need to be as careful as hair.
During the time along the way, he had tempered his skin to a great extent. Fortunately, the resources obtained from the Five Elements Land and Island Groups, such as Fire Spirit Fruit and Heavenly Demon Flower, are very good body refining materials. It's just that the Demon Flower has to save the Demon Sacrifice Technique for use, so it's not used much.
Up to now, only the skin of the two calves has not been tempered. His consciousness sank into it, he took out a fire spirit fruit and swallowed it. The hot breath spreads from the esophagus to the Dantian, and gradually controls the tempering on the legs.
In one night, the entire body's skin was completely tempered. Cheng Ling took out a low-grade sword and cut it into his skin, leaving only a shallow mark, and his physical defense was greatly enhanced.
Not only that, the sword essence in the body is also completely integrated into the skin, and the sword essence reserves have increased.

It has been improved a bit, and the fighting endurance is stronger.
"The Fire Spirit Fruit is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that it consumes too much. If there are corresponding elixirs, the increase in body refining can be accelerated again. In the future, there will be steps such as muscles, bones, bone marrow, brain, etc. We must find a way to solve the problem of the body tempering elixir."
Take a deep breath and stretch your muscles. The sky was already bright, and he was going to Xicheng to see if there was any trace of other body-shaping materials.
Opening the door, Xiao Ling'er was already in the courtyard. She was practicing her sword skills. Cheng Ling looked at her for a moment and slowly shook his head. Xiao Ling'er practiced fire swordsmanship, and the fire phoenix tree was of great help to her. Unfortunately, the level of the swordsmanship is not high, and there seems to be no one to give guidance. There are many mistakes in the practice, and you can find several flaws with just a glance.
He shook his head and said: "Xiao Ling'er, it's useless for you to practice like this. The foundation is too weak. Even the simple basic sword postures are right and wrong. When you should be light, you can't be light. You should use a heavy sword. It’s powerless again.”
Xiao Ling'er stopped instantly and asked: "Brother Cheng, I made you laugh. It's just that this is the sword technique passed down from my father. My mother told me to practice it well."
"I'm not saying that your swordsmanship is not good, but your practice method is wrong and your foundation is not solid. No matter how strong your swordsmanship is, you won't be able to exert its power."
When Xiao Ling'er heard this, she knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.
Cheng Ling smiled and asked, "Why do you keep kowtowing to me?"
Xiao Ling'er kowtowed three more times and said, "Brother Cheng, please accept me as your disciple and teach me how to practice swordsmanship!"
"It's not that easy to be my disciple. Can you persevere?"
"Yes! In order to seek justice for my parents, I will definitely persevere."
Cheng Ling sighed and said: "In the past, I had the same idea as you, but now it's different. Swordsmanship is profound and profound. Pursuing strength for the hatred in your heart can make rapid progress for a period of time, but it is not a long-term way. Only by understanding The true meaning of swordsmanship is that only by truly knowing what a sword is and what is the purpose of practicing swordsmanship can you go further!"
Xiao Ling'er didn't understand what he heard, but kowtowed blankly.
Cheng Ling said: "Okay, get up first! I will teach you how to practice swordsmanship after I accept you as my disciple. Today, take me to the west of the city to see if I want any materials. I will teach you when I come back." How to practice a sword.”
Xiao Ling'er stood up happily and said, "Yes, Brother Cheng, come with me!"
After saying that, Benten walked out of the courtyard.
As soon as the two of them left the courtyard, several monks came towards them. Xiao Ling'er's expression changed and she whispered: "Brother Cheng, hurry up, they are Brother Bao's minions."
Before he finished speaking, the first few monks rushed over, stopped in front of the two of them, and said, "Xiao Ling'er, you have become more capable. You haven't even repaid the spiritual stones you owe us, and you still know how to steal the business of my Qingzhu Gang. "
Xiao Ling'er's face changed, and she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Kun, how can you say that? Brother Cheng is my friend, and he came to Yujing City to see me, so how can you say that he robbed Qingzhu's business?"
Brother Kun glared and said angrily: "Nonsense, you think you don't know where he comes from. Even you, Xiao Ling'er, have friends outside Yujing City. If you are sensible, get out of here and don't hinder us from doing things!"
Cheng Ling sneered in his heart. Only the leader of the opponent's group, Brother Kun, was in the early stage of becoming a god, and the rest were only in the Nascent Soul stage. This Jade City is really weird. When did the little incarnation monk dare to stroke the tiger's beard of the fusion monk?
