Zhao Jingyi flicked her fingers repeatedly, and the energy condensed between her two fingers shot out one after another, colliding with the flying fire phoenix, making a hissing sound.
The size of the fire phoenix gradually became smaller, but even so, the momentum of the forward charge was still very strong. Zhao Jingyi's expression changed, and she touched her body with her left hand several times. Suddenly, the aura on the two fingers of her right hand became even more dazzling. Like a giant sword, it slashed towards the fire phoenix.
Rumble~!
The two energies collided, causing huge spatial fluctuations. Even the ban ring trembled violently. The old man's expression changed drastically, and he flew into the air. He kept hitting bans one by one with his hands, trying his best to stabilize the bans on the ring.
It's just that the energy between the two collided, and the explosive force produced was really amazing. The large-scale blocking light mask could barely be maintained, but some energy still shot out from the weak points of the blocking. The spectators all moved out of the way, but some spectators were still hurt by the energy.
Looking at the ring, Zhao Jingyi and the female cultivator in white were both half-kneeling, their whole bodies trembling slightly. It was obvious that even they could not withstand the explosion caused by this blow, and they had no strength to fight again in a short time.
Cheng Ling looked at the two women in shock and thought to himself: Such a strong effort. If he was facing such an attack, he would not be sure to take it unless he used the Demonic Sacrifice Technique.
As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Yujing City, and the two women's cultivations are both perfect. But the martial arts and spells they used were much more powerful than what he had seen before. Every time they took action, they seemed to be able to activate the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and increase their own attacks. This method had never been tried by him.
It seems that my cultivation and knowledge are still too low. If I want to survive in Yujing City, I must improve my strength. Not to mention the auctions in this industry have offended too many powerful disciples. If the two women have such strength, the disciples of other big forces will definitely not be much weaker.
Thinking of this, he no longer had the intention to watch the battle. Taking advantage of the fierce energy on the stage, the audience, Master Jiao and others were attracted, and they left quietly in a flash.
After leaving, he flew straight towards Xiao Ling'er's house without stopping at all. Although fighting is prohibited in the city, as long as there is no fighting, no one will care about using body skills to travel. After only a quarter of an hour, he rushed back.
Entering the courtyard, you saw Xiao Ling'er waiting in front of the guest room. Cheng Ling waved his hand towards Xiao Ling'er, meaning not to speak yet. He moved his hands together and knocked down the formation pillars one by one. Soon, dozens of formation pillars were knocked down, and then a formation flag was thrown out.
With a sound of "Buzz~!", a transparent defensive light shield rose up along the perimeter of the courtyard. Not only that, as the light shield covered it, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the courtyard also surged in, and soon the spiritual energy in the courtyard reached ten times that of the outside.
After setting up the formation, he told Xiao Ling'er: "Xiao Ling'er, there are some spirit stones here. You go and pay off all the debts you owe, and the rest will be used for me to buy alchemy materials."
Xiao Ling'er took it tremblingly, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng!"
"I still have many things to ask you. I am temporarily staying here during this period. I will have a few friends coming over in a while. I will bother you again then."
After saying that, he pointed towards Xiao Ling'er's eyebrows and passed the entrance and exit routes of the courtyard formation. Said: "I set up defense and spirit gathering formations in the courtyard. This is the route in and out.
Then no one else can come in. "
Xiao Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes, then I will buy the materials first."
After she left, Cheng Ling sat down under the fire phoenix tree and thought about the future direction of cultivation. It would take Liu Qingyan, Jian Yinghao and others more than half a year to reach Yujing City. During this period, in addition to improving his alchemy, he also needed to improve his cultivation.
After watching the battle between Zhao Jingyi and the female cultivator in white, I deeply felt my own shortcomings. In terms of cultivation, he was far behind the outstanding disciples of several major forces. In two years, he tried to find ways to improve as quickly as possible. There are also body-training techniques, and there are still some Yijin-Forging Bone Pills obtained from the Sword Tomb, which can assist in training.
It's a pity that I didn't get the elixir recipe, so I couldn't refine it myself, so I could only rely on the Fire Spirit Fruit and the Blood Demon Flower to improve it. The most important thing is that he saw the gap between himself and the disciples of the big forces. There is still a long way to go in terms of drawing on the power of heaven and earth.
During the integration stage, I had a vague sense of the rules of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, I had to explore on my own. The techniques and swordsmanship taught by the Golden Page were all top-notch, but they did not teach how to use the power of heaven and earth. These must be studied carefully by oneself. , I don’t know if there is such a training place in Yujing City, I’d better wait until Xiao Ling’er comes back before asking.
Before the Alchemy King Valley is opened, alchemy, body refining, cultivation, and swordsmanship must all be improved at the same time. Otherwise, even if you can enter it, your gains will not be great, your luck will be bad, and you will be killed by disciples of major forces.
Alchemy, body refining, and cultivation can be carried out at the same time. Sword skills can be understood to a small extent. As long as the sword type grows up, it can exert its power. The understanding of swordsmanship can be carried out slowly. Physical training and cultivation can be carried out at the same time, so that the daily time can be divided into two parts.
Four hours are used to refine the elixir, and four hours are used to practice and refine the body.
Once he was determined in his mind, he put aside his distracting thoughts and began to practice. There was enough spiritual energy in the courtyard, so he took out a Chaoyang Pill that he had refined and swallowed it. The sword element is transported within the meridians. The technique taught by the golden page has been expanded to thirteen meridians, and it takes longer to transport the sword element.
However, every time he went around, the amount of real energy extracted doubled from before. The skill is running over and over again, and the sword essence in the Dantian lake gradually rises, heading towards the peak of the mid-stage integration.
Cheng Ling slowly finished his exercises. After a day of practice, his sword energy became fuller, and he took another step towards the peak of the mid-stage clutch body. It's just that one day has passed and Xiao Ling'er hasn't come back yet, so he is a little worried.
Originally, he was going to use the materials brought back by Xiao Ling'er to refine the elixir. Not only can it satisfy your own cultivation, but you can also sell it to get some of the spiritual stones back. Otherwise, just relying on your own cultivation will be in vain.
This is also a preliminary test of the market. If kendo wants to revive, resources are essential. As the largest city in the Canglan Continent, Yujing City consumes so many elixirs that the monks consume. As long as they can find some sales channels and continue to develop, they can expand a business path.
He planned to let Xiao Ling'er take charge of this business line. She is a monk born and raised in Yujing City and is familiar with its ways. The only flaw is that the cultivation level is too low and has not been developed through experience. These two years are just enough time to slowly cultivate him. If he can really become a great person, there is no harm in accepting him as a disciple.
Two more hours passed, and Cheng Ling gradually became anxious. Xiao Ling'er hadn't turned around yet, so she must have been delayed by something on the way. Just as he was about to get up and go looking for it, there was a slight fluctuation in the formation seal.
Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that Xiao Ling'er was back.
Sure enough, within a moment, Xiao Ling'er stumbled to Cheng Ling, still breathing heavily.
Cheng Ling asked: "What happened?"
"It's Brother Bao and the others. I paid back the spiritual stones I owed, but they still refused to give up and planned to buy this courtyard. I didn't want to, so they locked me in the room and wouldn't let me out. Fortunately Brother Bao and I grew up together and couldn't bear my suffering, so he secretly let me out."
"Brother Cheng, these are the materials you want."
Cheng Ling took the storage ring from her, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Bao and his gang have been staring at this place?"
"Yes! There is also the old man from Wanbao Pavilion. It turns out that he has contact with Brother Bao and the others. As soon as he saw me, he asked me where you were and wanted to cause trouble for you."
"Doesn't that mean that you won't be able to go out easily in the future? If I need to buy materials, won't there be no one available?"
"That's not true. I was careless today. I didn't expect them to imprison me directly. After all, I am also an aborigine of Yujing City. As long as I report to the city guards, as long as I don't return to this courtyard for one day, Brother Cheng can invite The guards in the city are looking for them, and if they are found to be imprisoned privately, they will definitely be severely punished!"
Cheng Ling was immediately relieved. The Zhao family was indeed unique in managing Yujing City. Even low-level monks were protected. Although it has not yet reached the point of equality, it is still commendable.
He asked again: "By the way, you said that the aborigines in Yujing City are protected by the city. What if the foreign monks want to become aborigines?"
Xiao Ling'er said: "This is difficult. Although Yujing City is huge, there are too many monks coming and going. It only provides temporary residence for outside monks in the city. The guard house in Beicheng is responsible for handling these trivial matters."
"Every foreign monk who wants to stay in Yujing City for a long time needs to be taken in by the indigenous people, or have a fixed property in the city. If not, they can only live in inns, restaurants and other places, and are not allowed to sleep outside."
"Of course, you can also buy aboriginal real estate, so that you can become an aboriginal in Yujing City. Is Brother Cheng planning to live in Yujing City permanently?"
Cheng Ling nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I need a place to stay for a long time. What is the purchase price?"
"The purchase price is very high, and the average aboriginal people are not willing to sell easily. Currently, the residential areas in Yujing City are almost all full. Unless there is an accident or death, only vacant properties can be put up for auction."
Cheng Ling thought to himself that it seemed that it was not easy to get a place to stay in Yujing City. There was no rush now, so he put it aside and asked about cultivation first.
He asked: "Is there any secret place for cultivation in this Jade City?"
Xiao Ling'er replied: "Yes, there is a training room over there in the north city to help improve cultivation, martial arts and spells; there is a sword tower over there in the west city to improve swordsmanship; there is a secret realm in the void over there in the south city, and I heard that there are It’s helpful to understand the artistic conception.”
"But the most famous one is the Babel Tower in the middle of Jade Capital City!"
"Tower of Babel? What kind of secret cultivation realm is that?"
"The Tower of Babel is a place that reflects the comprehensive strength of a monk. The tower is ninety-nine floors high. It is difficult to get through even one floor. The current record of the Tower of Babel is eighty-one floors!"
