The secret transmission of the six spiritual sources of Taixu circulated spontaneously, and most of the intimidation was removed. The man's eyes turned sharp, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see through Zhao Ning inside and outside in an instant.
Zhao Ning nodded calmly and turned around, and the glaring gaze disappeared.
"The shopkeeper wonders if there are some medicinal seeds or seedlings for sale here?"
There were so many people outside the door at this moment, it was not a good time to go out directly, Zhao Ning wanted to avoid it.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously, "There is a medicine garden in the backyard. Girl, please come with me."
The shopkeeper led Zhao Ning through the lobby and entered the backyard from the side door on the right. A nursery of less than half an acre was cultivated in the backyard, and many common medicinal materials were planted in it. Zhao Ning glanced at it and roughly recognized it, but it was not what she needed. "There can be Zhicao, Polygonatum, Codonopsis pilosula and the like."
"Yes, but the price is..."
"It can be offset by the price of ginseng just now."
"Girl, wait a minute." The shopkeeper hurriedly went to prepare. Zhao Ning watched him enter the inner room and go into the cellar. Then he brought a package to Zhao Ning, opened the package, and gave her the medicinal seedlings and seeds that Zhao Ning wanted. After looking at it, he carefully wrapped it and handed it to Zhao Ning, "Girl, are you from the Jianghu? These medicinal materials are all life-threatening and healing medicine."
Zhao Ning didn't answer, but the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "These medicinal seedlings need to be planted as soon as possible. The planting conditions are a bit harsh. Girls, please pay more attention, otherwise they will be useless."
He followed him to the lobby and carefully took out two hundred taels from behind the counter, "This is the remaining silver taels, girl, do the math."
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on the Bi Mansion opposite. Everyone outside the door had already entered the mansion. Only a few guards were left staring at the passers-by. The passers-by lingered a few times and then dispersed. At this time, the street returned to its previous appearance. lively.
Zhao Ning walked out of Tonghetang and returned to West Street from the original alleyway.
Just as he was walking halfway, he paused. Huo turned sideways, and a stone passed by him. Then a figure rushed towards him, "Watch the move!"
Zhao Ning threw away the baggage to block the approaching attack, kicked her feet steadily and performed the Seven Deng Yun moves, and flexed her body to avoid the moves.
She jumped up lightly, pressed her feet against the wall, and wanted to climb over the wall, but she didn't want to and a figure suddenly jumped out. It was very fast and jumped very high, directly blocking the light seeping from the top of the alley. Ning only felt a black shadow imprinted on her body, and then the black shadow stretched out its foot and kicked her.
Zhao Ning turned sideways and rolled three times in mid-air to avoid being attacked from both front and back.
She landed on the ground, her sight just stabilized, when she saw the two sneak attackers rushing towards each other with swords. Zhao Ning stepped back repeatedly, sparks flying between her toes and the ground, "Who are you?!"
Zhao Ning asked sternly, but received no answer.
The speed of the two men was getting faster and faster, the tip of the sword was getting closer and closer, and the original passers-by in the alley had long since disappeared.
Zhao Ning stepped back with his right foot, stopped suddenly, then raised his hand and threw out the Jinping Whip. The long whip spun into concentric circles. The moment the two swords entered the concentric circles, the whip body tightened sharply, wrapping around the two of them. The swords are tied together.
The two sides were in a stalemate, Zhao Ning couldn't take their swords, and they couldn't break free of the whips.
"Why did you sneak attack on me for no reason?" Zhao Ning asked again.
But I saw one of them laughing, and instead of answering, he said, "Young lady is really good at it, let me try some more tricks."
With that said, the two of them joined the sword in tacit agreement, and the two swords suddenly buzzed, and an extraordinary force was transmitted through the Jinping Whip to Zhao Ning's arm, almost numbing him.
Zhao Ning shook her hands and changed her moves, loosening her long whip, raising her head to avoid the long sword, and attacked the two of them in the opposite direction.
The two of them were shocked. They didn't expect Zhao Ning to react so quickly. They immediately withdrew their swords and defended themselves. However, they didn't want the long whip to wrap around one person's arm, so they pulled him forward. When he moved again, the whip was thrown on his back. It makes people cry out in pain, "How can it be true!"
Zhao Ning ignored him, his eyes were slightly cold, and he attacked the other person. He was dazzled. Under Zhao Ning's desperate attacks, the person retreated steadily. He was really unbeatable. He kept saying, "Little girl, I misunderstood, we are just here." Try your cultivation, there is no malice, don’t move…don’t really move!”
"You said I would believe it?" Before the move stopped, she saw that the man was about to be trapped by the Jinping whip and became a stick. Suddenly, she heard a strange spell behind her. Zhao Ning felt a force rising behind her, and she subconsciously avoided it. But he heard, "Determine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ning saw a stream of light flashing around him, and then his body became incapable of movement and froze in place.
Fear arose in Zhao Ning's eyes, and the Taixu Six Paths of Reincarnation Meridian quickly circulated in his body. A trace of energy flowed through a hundred acupuncture points, but his concentration was not released immediately. It was not because the acupoints were tapped.
She covered up her fear and became calmer, "Why did you two use magical means to deal with me?"
One person came from behind, rubbing his back, and the other person broke away from the Jinping whip and approached.
"The little girl is really capable. My two brothers are almost no match for her."
Only then did Zhao Ning have the opportunity to pay close attention to the appearance of the two of them. They were probably wearing blue piping robes with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on them. They were both handsome and young, about 20 years old. The taller man was quite shy. He cupped his hands and said "Sorry".
Zhao Ning stared at this person, hid her guard, and softened her voice, "If there is a misunderstanding, please explain it to the two young masters, or undo this magical trick and talk slowly."
Another man smiled, "This is not a magical method." He took out a piece of talisman paper with strange runes outlined in cinnabar, "This is a body-fixing talisman, a talisman. It is just a common method for cultivating immortals. It is not Worth mentioning.”
He said it was not worth mentioning, but he still couldn't hide the pain in his eyes.
A trace of surprise flashed through Zhao Ning's heart, Immortal cultivator?
Probably seeing Zhao Ning's astonishment, the two of them clasped their fists and said, "Girl, Immortal Master Baiyun invites you."
Chapter 025
Zhao Ning was brought into Bi Mansion by them.
The moment they said "Baiyun Immortal Master", Zhao Ning guessed that the old man who greeted Bi Mansion's family was the one who invited him. There are so many coincidences in the world, but he didn't expect that the guide he learned from Li Xianghong a few days ago was... To actually appear in front of him like this, he didn't even need to visit Nanjing City.
Zhao Ning felt a little uncomfortable. Just like Li Xianghong said, it seemed as if she had really entered a game, and everything in the world was pushing her towards a certain result.
Especially when these two people directly named Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning became more vigilant, but these two people didn't care much. "In Nanjing, the only one who can still practice Taoism is Huichun Jue. Looking at the girl's age, It must be the one who is behind."
With the talisman passing by in a flash, the test between the two before the exchange, and the old man's intimidating gaze, Zhao Ning had no choice but to move forward, one step at a time. At least looking at their attitudes for now, it didn't seem to be a disaster.
In the main room of Bi Mansion, Immortal Master Baiyun was having a lively chat with Mr. Bi Mansion. They were respectful to each other, and they were polite and slightly flattering. It was unclear who was trying to please whom.
It was inconvenient for Zhao Ning and the others to go in and disturb them at this moment, so they followed them to the resting place prepared by Bi Mansion. On the way, Mo Qingqian was the lively man who kept talking to Zhao Ning. He looked curious and a little unexpected. Being close, so is the other person, Mo Qingkun.
"Miss Zhao Ning really has a great opportunity. She has already practiced Qi at a young age. From now on, we brothers will still need the girl to take care of us." Mo Qingqian deliberately came closer and said with a smile. Looking at Zhao Ning, he was a little confused. Mo Qingkun said, "The two of us are just at the stage of introducing qi into the body, and we are not even at the first level of qi training. The girl is younger, so she has greater prospects than us."
Zhao Ning's eyes were heavy, feeling a little uneasy after hearing this, so she asked what she wanted to ask, "I wonder what the meaning of this level of Qi training is?"
"The girl doesn't know about the realm." Mo Qingqian's expression was a bit dumbfounded, and he quickly shut up when he realized that his attitude was wrong.
Mo Qingkun said, "Seeking immortality is not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes several realms to transform from mortal to immortal. Every time you break through a major realm, you can gain great power and great fortune. However, we don't know how far the realm is. We only know that The first state of this cultivation is the Qi training period. There are nine levels of Qi training, and it is considered perfect when you reach the ninth level."
Zhao Ning never thought that the "nine orifices are clear and the six internal organs are clear" in the mortal storybook is not worth mentioning in the journey of cultivation. It is just a small entry step. She concealed the shock in her eyes and bowed to the two of them. "Thank you two gentlemen for informing me. Zhao Ning has benefited a lot."
On the contrary, the two of them were embarrassed and waved their hands, "Sooner or later, the girl will know about this journey of cultivation, not to mention that the master is optimistic about it..."
"Shen Zhaoning?!" A sudden voice interrupted the conversation.
Several people had walked to the rest room. The door of the room was open. There was a young man standing in front of the table with a face full of astonishment. He stared at Zhao Ning. To his surprise, Zhao Ning looked familiar. It was Li Wei. .
"How are you still alive! How can you stand here!" Li Wei strode to stop in front of Zhao Ning in a hurry, his tone was urgent and urgent, "If you hadn't taken away the Rejuvenation Art, how could those greedy guys be staring at you?" How could my father die if you go to my ancestral grave!"
Zhao Ning took a small step back, and Li Wei was the embarrassed young man who got off the carriage first in front of Bi Mansion. He also met Immortal Master Baiyun.
Li Wei's eyes were red, and he raised his sword and attacked.
"Shen Zhaoning, I want you to pay with your life!"
Chapter 026
"Qiang——" The two Mo brothers blocked Li Wei's sword, and Mo Qingqian cursed, "Li Wei, why are you so crazy?"
Li Wei was still immersed in the sudden emotion and looked at Zhao Ning with red eyes.
Zhao Ning stood behind the two brothers and persuaded in a nice voice, "Brother Li, if you want revenge, I'm afraid you've got the wrong target. Zhao Ning is just a victim. The real culprit who caused the Qingyun Gang's collapse and Guanshi Li's death. The culprits are members of the Ten Gangs. I know that senior brother is in grief right now, so senior brother can just sit down and relax for a while, why bother venting anger on others."
Zhao Ning spoke slowly but clearly. Li Wei's chest heaved. After a while, he closed his eyes silently and forcefully pushed back the tears from the corners of his eyes. He lowered his sword dejectedly and murmured, "Dad, dad, It's my fault, I shouldn't have left." After finishing speaking, he sat on the threshold, silent.
Mo Qingqian pulled Zhao Ning and said, "Girl, don't worry about him. This guy came out of nowhere to see the immortal master. He's been talking like crazy for a few days. Let's go inside and sit down."
Zhao Ning followed Li Wei into the house, and when she passed by Li Wei, she could still hear him calling daddy over and over again. She thought that she had been feeling guilty since she left the ruined temple that day. Maybe he had gone back to the ruined temple to see it. Li Xianghong appeared to be fine on the outside, but in fact his internal organs had corroded into pus.
Zhao Ning took a sip of tea. As expected of a well-known wealthy family in Ludong City, the tea was fragrant and left an unforgettable aftertaste, even the tribute tea was no different.
After the teacup fell and he returned to the topic, Zhao Ning then asked, "I wonder why Master Xian wants to see me?"
The two brothers smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Girls have heard of the 'immortal who guides the way'. Our master is this 'immortal', the guide for the entire Nanjing Kingdom. The girl has strong immortality, and I am lucky enough to meet you. I will definitely do it." Let me show you the way and lead you into the world of cultivation."
Zhao Ning never thought that things were so simple.
Mo Qingqian winked at Zhao Ning and said, "Master values you very much. He only took one look at you and then ordered us two brothers to invite you here, but I am afraid that you will disappear."
Zhao Ning did not respond, feeling a little overwhelmed by this sudden kindness.
Until Immortal Master Baiyun came in a hurry, he couldn't hide the joyful look on his face. His eyes, which were almost squeezed by the wrinkles, stared straight at Zhao Ning, nodding repeatedly, "She is very smart, even smart."
He probably felt a little out of character, coughed slightly, and then acted like an immortal master, sitting on the table, took the tea from Mo Qingqian, took a sip, but still stared at Zhao Ning with a smile, " Being able to introduce Qi into the body at this age and cultivate to the first level, I think it is good to have a spiritual foundation."
Zhao Ning bowed her head and said, "My little girl is stupid and practices in a daze. She doesn't understand what it means to introduce Qi into the body and what spiritual roots are. I wonder if I can ask the immortal master to explain it in detail?"
Immortal Master Baiyun took another sip of tea, "Introducing Qi into the body means using the Lingqiao acupoint as a medium to introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the seven meridians, eight meridians and nine orifices of the body, and cleansing the worldly environment is the first step in practice.
There is only one prerequisite for introducing Qi into the body, and the person must have spiritual roots. The spiritual root is divided into five elements. The purer the five elements, the better the spiritual root, and of course, the faster it will draw Qi into the body.
Don't underestimate this spiritual root. It is difficult to find a mixed spiritual root among thousands of mortals, let alone geniuses with double spiritual roots or single spiritual roots. "
He put down the teacup and took another good look at Zhao Ning, "Looking at your face, you are only thirteen or fourteen years old. It must have only been more than a year since you got the Rejuvenation Art. In just one year, you can draw Qi into your body. You must have spiritual roots." Not weak and pure.”
He touched his chin and smiled with satisfaction, "It seems that I have a chance to return to the sect today."
His eyes seemed to treat people as bargaining chips in transactions. When she heard him boasting about herself, Zhao Ning felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she covered up those emotions and respectfully saluted Immortal Master Baiyun, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for teaching me." , Zhao Ning is grateful to the immortal master for showing him the way."
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes and added, "My little girl's journey into spiritual practice was quite bumpy. It took her half a year to feel a trace of energy in the Lingqiao acupoint. This may be attributed to the fact that the young leader of the Qingyun Gang forcibly poured Lingqiao Powder into her body to survive. …”
"What?!" Unexpectedly, Immortal Master Baiyun stood up suddenly, and most of the gentleness on his face collapsed.
Zhao Ning was startled, "What? It's this Lingqiao Powder..."
"Haha, you took Lingqiao Powder, you actually took Lingqiao Powder." Immortal Master Baiyun didn't say anything, but Li Wei was talking and laughing wildly. Zhao Ning saw his expression, and saw Immortal Master Baiyun shaking his head and sighing, and his heart skipped a beat. Then I heard Li Wei say, "So what if you have spiritual roots and can practice? If you forcefully open the spiritual acupoints, the spiritual platform will be unstable and the foundation will be hopeless. Hahaha, karma is retribution."
Zhao Ning's hands and feet were trembling a little, but she tried to hold it back, but she saw that the two Mo brothers looked at each other, and their expressions were not as close as when they first welcomed her.
Immortal Master Baiyun walked up to her in a few steps and grabbed her wrist. A sharp stream of air rushed into her body and disappeared in an instant.
"Metal...wood...water...earth...as expected, it is a miscellaneous spiritual root, all relying on the spiritual orifice to disperse." He saw Zhao Ning's brows erect very deeply, but it was difficult to get angry, and he sat down in frustration and felt bored. A sip of tea, "I'm happy for nothing, I'm happy for nothing."
Zhao Ning was the only one in the room who was at a loss, but he was also aware of the changes in attitudes in the world.
She remained silent. Immortal Master Baiyun looked at Zhao Ning and said, "You are not the person I am looking for. It was a mistake. Forget it, I won't play tricks on you. I will show you a way."
Zhao Ning lowered her head, her emotions deeply hidden.
"Go southeast, go all the way to the border of Dayue Kingdom, enter Shiwanda Mountain, and pass through Lingwu Forest."
"Let's go."
He waved his hand, Zhao Ning's heart was filled with emotions, but his face remained calm, "Zhao Ning will definitely find it, and I will see you soon after the Immortal Master."
