"That's right." Kong Li poked half of his head out from behind Zhao Ning, as if he had gained confidence, "We were the ones who got rid of the devil!"
Qin Keyuan turned to Ji Xiu and said, "There is no evil spirit here."
Ji Xiu's expression turned ugly, "I've searched all over Guiyuan City and haven't found even a trace of demonic energy. Could it be that those dozen cultivators who were possessed by demons just happened to practice together and something went wrong, and their souls were eroded by inner demons at the same time. Already?"
"Not necessarily." Qin Keyuan's words were very simple.
Ji Xiu seemed to be reminded, and his expression became even uglier, "Could it be that the people from Ji Mo Palace are back again? Do they want to turn our Kunxu Cultivation World into the next West Ji Mo Wilderness?"
Kong Li looked at Qin Keyuan and then at Ji Xiu, unable to understand the meaning of their words, "Where is the Demon Wilderness of the West? Isn't the Demon Palace an evil sect from thousands of years ago?"
Ji Xiu said impatiently, "The Jimo Palace is indeed an evil sect from the recent era. They admire the original evil in the beginning and believe that the extraterrestrial demons are the origin of their Tao. Tens of thousands of years ago, in the western extreme area of Kyushu It wreaked havoc and released some heavenly demons in the Earth Demon Abyss, turning all the cultivators in the entire West Pole area into monsters. Although they were later suppressed by several Nascent Soul masters, the demonic energy has not dissipated."
"If the demonic energy doesn't dissipate, wouldn't it mean that all the creatures inside have turned into monsters?" Kong Li covered her mouth in surprise.
"Otherwise, why do you think that place is called the 'Western Demonic Wasteland'?"
The two of them talked about the terrible chaos back and forth, but Qin Keyuan walked out of the hospital. When he passed by Zhao Ning, he paused and said to Zhao Ning, "Come with me."
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Keyuan's back, then lowered her eyes, probably guessing what Qin Keyuan wanted to say when he called her.
There were only two of them in the alley, Qin Keyuan said, "Qingxiao Sect owes you a favor for breaking the Edan Fang. If you want to join Qingxiao Sect, it's not impossible."
Zhao Ning was a little surprised. She never expected that Po'e Danfang was so precious. After all, it was just a Danfang, and the necessary materials and treasures were hard to find, so it was not worth paying for it with a favor.
"The Qingxiao Sect recruits people, whether they are elders, descendants of the sect, or disciples recruited from outside. If you want to join the sect, you must pass the Immortal Recruitment Order once every ten years."
"The Qingxiao Sect's next recruitment order will be in half a year. If your qualifications are suitable for the ancient Taoism, the Qingxiao Sect can grant you an additional ancient Taoist disciple."
Zhao Ning's eyes lit up, and she felt that the gloom on the road ahead was gone. She raised her hand to say thank you, but was stopped by Qin Keyuan.
Qin Keyuan's expression was expressionless, "I have said that if you want to join the sect, you need to pass the Immortal Recruitment Order. The sect will not interfere in the selection of disciples by the Immortal Recruitment Order."
Zhao Ning's eyes were crooked, "Senior Qin, Zhao Ning knows that you are reminding me about the Lingqiao acupoint. The Lingqiao acupoint is damaged, and it is impossible to pass the test of the Immortal Recruitment Order. But Zhao Ning needs senior guidance in the ordinary world, although She has just entered the world of cultivation, but she also found the medical practitioner that Senior Qin pointed out. Zhao Ning must be extremely sincere in asking the medical practitioner for treatment."
Zhao Ning consciously caught Qin Keyuan's hint, but after she explained, Qin Keyuan remained silent.
She hesitated and called, "Senior Qin?"
"Half a year is not a long time, so take your time."
After Qin Keyuan finished speaking, he turned around and paused at the entrance of the courtyard. The people who were talking in the courtyard immediately stopped talking.
Qin Keyuan asked, "Is Tianjiazhuang a cultivation family of the Fengwa Tian family?"
Kong Nan had already stood up. He cupped his hands and replied respectfully, "It is indeed a branch of the Fengwada family."
Qin Keyuan's eyes were locked on Kong Nan, "If you two are deceived by the devil, you will become a monster within ten days. Although I have not noticed the monster among you, your consciousness is restless and your soul is unstable. , Do not leave Guiyuan City within ten days to stabilize your state of mind."
Kong Li was shocked and didn't realize anything was wrong with her. She moved to Kong Nan's side in fear, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Are we going to die?"
Kong Nan was calm and raised his hand to Qin Keyuan, "The medical experts have diagnosed me. It is actually caused by excessive fear, joy and sorrow. Thank you, Chief Qin, for your concern."
Qin Keyuan said no more and turned into a stream of silvery white light. Ji Xiu followed the sword and flew up. The two disappeared into the sky, and the patrolling monk in silver armor also left the yard.
Kong Li tilted his head and asked, "Grandpa, when did we ask a medical practitioner for diagnosis? I don't seem to remember?"
"You silly girl, you fainted from crying that night, of course you didn't know." Kong Nan touched the back of Kong Li's head comfortingly, then looked at Zhao Ning and apologized to Zhao Ning, "I didn't expect the girl to come to visit today. , to encounter such a thing, it is really not a good reception."
Zhao Ning recovered from Qin Keyuan's last words and smiled lightly, "I came here to ask Grandpa Kong to help me consign some items, but I didn't know that the two souls were in the way. I also have some things that need to be done early. I'll handle it so I won't disturb you two."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Ning thought that Qin Keyuan was reminding herself that even if she was sincere enough, Yu Jingjue might not be able to cure him in half a year.
Zhao Ning was distracted by this, but was still determined to give it a try. Since this was the only way, he had to speed up his schedule and go to Lingwu Forest to collect all the medicinal materials.
"Wait, sister Zhao Ning." Kong Li called to Zhao Ning, "What do you want to sell? What's the problem? Look at me, I feel refreshed. Anyway, we can't leave Guiyuan City for ten days. Meditation is also practice, you leave it to us and go about your business. Right, Grandpa."
Kong Nan nodded, "Speaking of which, Miss Zhao Ning helped our grandfather and grandson again today. Let us help you handle such a small matter."
Zhao Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, taking out a storage bag and handing it to Kong Nan, "There are five first-level low-grade spiritual weapons in it. Please ask Grandpa Kong for help. Just help check the price."
Kong Li was stunned. When she checked her spiritual sense, she saw five first-level spiritual swords. She opened her mouth.
"You...you refined this?"
"Yes." Zhao Ning responded, "The first time I refined it, my skills were insufficient. If my skills improve, I will tailor-make two low-grade spiritual weapons for Grandpa Kong and Sister Xiaoli."
Kong Nan tremblingly put away the storage bag. He had lived for almost a hundred years. He had never seen so many low-level first-grade spiritual weapons. He was even more shocked when he heard that Zhao Ning said that he would tailor them for them.
"Miss Zhao Ning is kind, but that's too precious, so I won't use it."
Zhao Ning didn't respond, just thanked them for helping with the consignment, then turned and left.

"Instigating and instigating——"
In the misty forest, a figure streaked across at high speed, followed closely by a black line.
The hem of the gradually dyed green skirt passed by, and Zhao Ning spun and flew up. The black line suddenly stopped in its direction, and the black light around him dispersed, revealing a huge python body.
This black python is quite intelligent. It spirals around its body and spits out snake letters, searching for the aura of condensation.
When it noticed the breath floating above its head, it raised its triangular head and opened its bloody mouth, but it was extremely human and stiff. In addition to Zhao Ning, there was also a silver-white sword hovering above it.
The next moment, the sword gesture was drawn out, and spiritual power was injected into the long sword. The long sword buzzed, and instantly pierced the bloody snake's mouth, nailing the black python into the ground.
The black python twisted and stretched its body repeatedly in an attempt to escape, but could not get away.
Zhao Ning landed on the ground, made a sword with two fingers, turned slightly, and the silver-white sword shook. The energy penetrated the python's body, and the black python immediately lost its breath.
The silver-white long sword flew back to Zhao Ning's hand. This long sword was made of Han Jing from the hilt to the blade. The sword was two feet and five inches long, the blade was two inches wide, and the blade was extremely thin. It was an eight-handled sword made by Zhao Ning. The sword has the best appearance.
After wiping away the sporadic blood stains on the sword, ordinary monsters were unable to resist the attack from a low-grade spiritual weapon.
This was the third day that Zhao Ning entered the Lingwu Forest. It was the beginning of the day, and the fog in the forest had just dissipated. Zhao Ning found the place where the bergamot lotus grew. When he was about to pick it, he was almost attacked by the black python.
The Buddha's Hand Lotus is hidden in a mountain col. There is a huge space crack hanging at the opening of the mountain col, like a huge wound torn open in mid-air.
This space crack is the mark on the map of Lingwu Forest. Zhao Ning was so shocked when he saw it for the first time that he almost ran away. He originally thought that the mark in the picture was a cave similar to a sinkhole. Unexpectedly, the sinkhole appeared in mid-air from the ground. After calming down, , Zhao Ning had to lament the magic of this world of cultivation.
There is indeed a space in the space crack, but it is filled with thick white mist. From time to time, strong wind blows through the white mist, and lightning flashes around the edge of the crack, making people afraid to get close.
The white mist spreads on the ground from the cracks in the space like a waterfall, as if stepping on the clouds. If it is Haishi, the overflowing white mist will cover the entire forest and make it invisible. What is even more terrifying is that in the thick fog, , the spiritual energy in the body moves slowly, and even feels stagnant. The Spiritual Mist Forest during this period is the most dangerous.
It was already the beginning of the Youshi period. Zhao Ning was ready to pick the Buddha's hand lotus and went to find a place to hide it.
Going around the space gap, in the shadow of the mountain col, a five-petal lotus shaped like a Buddha's hand gathered its petals. Zhao Ning took the "Jiuzhou Spiritual Medicine Encyclopedia" slip bought from Guiyuan City Bookstore and carefully verified the palm-sized spiritual medicine again.
Bergamot, lotus is a medicinal material that likes yin and cold. It has the effect of nourishing the soul and adhering to the origin.
Confirming that this elixir was the Buddha's Hand Lotus, Zhao Ning stretched out his hand to touch it without hesitation, and with his strength, the Buddha's Hand Lotus moved to the garden of the House of Silent Spirits.
Jade Jingjue must not be a bergamot, but a red jade lotus seed that is extremely difficult for the bergamot to bear. It is a mutation of the lotus seed. This bergamot has not yet set seeds, and it is not known whether it will bear red jade lotus seeds, so it has to be placed in the garden and compressed. During the growing year, cultivate it repeatedly until you obtain a red jade lotus seed.
After entering the Lingwu Forest for three days, she barely managed to obtain one elixir, and Zhao Ning was very satisfied.
There are a total of eighteen kinds of elixirs needed by Yu Jingjue. Although most of them are old or mutated, the strange thing is that there is more or less news in Lingwu Forest. I wonder if Yu Jingjue specially picked them out. It's still a coincidence.
Zhao Ning picked out medicinal herbs that were suitable for growing in the nearby environment, and there was another one that matched the requirements, called Rehmannia glutinosa, which requires more than three thousand years.
Rehmannia glutinosa, rhizome, likes dampness and shade, has the ability to protect the pulse, prolong life, and strengthen the soul...
Zhao Ning paused, and there was something strange in her heart. There were also Jiuzhuan Purple Ginseng, Snow Bone Zhicao, Soul Infant Fruit... If she remembered well, these are all medicinal materials that can strengthen the soul and melt the spirit. Yu Jingjue wanted to What kind of elixir should you refine?
"Protecting the pulse, solidifying the soul..."
Phew - A sudden and shrill cry of an eagle interrupted Zhao Ning's murmur. Zhao Ning suddenly looked back, but his eyes were bright red, and he saw a white eagle flying from nowhere hit the crack in space outside the mountain col. The moment it touched, it was gone. It was torn apart by the strong wind, and blood splattered everywhere.
The pupils unconsciously dilated by two points, and the strong wind in this space crack was so sharp.
But before Zhao Ning could think too much, he saw another shadow thrown out from the front, straight towards the crack in space. It was a human!
Zhao Ning didn't even think about it, she kneaded the secret and recited the incantation, and the rattan appeared out of thin air, dragging the person to the ground before they hit the crack.
It was an embarrassed female cultivator. After falling, she rolled around a few times. She stared ahead and backed away in fear. Her eyes flicked toward the direction where the cane was thrown in a panic. Before she saw the figure in the col, she shouted, "Help, help me!"
Immediately afterwards, two figures landed not far away from Yufeng. When she saw these two people, the female cultivator was so frightened that she got up and ran towards Zhao Ning. She was so confused that she stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha!" The two laughed and jeered, "Why is the beauty so scared? We won't eat you, it's just that Lin Zhongbo wants to find you to practice double cultivation."
"Go away! You sluts!" The female cultivator turned over, her hair was messy, but her beautiful facial features could not be covered. "I will kill you!"
Her hands and feet seemed to be weak and she could no longer stand up, so she could only keep leaning towards Zhao Ning.
Unexpectedly, the two of them laughed even harder, "Miss Ziying, where are you asking for help! Do you feel that the cultivation level of the person inside is only the second level of Qi training, and he can't even defeat you! Hahaha, Why don't you just stay with us?"
Ye Ziying only knew that someone had rescued her in the col just now. All her attention was on guarding against the two people in front of her, and she had no extra spiritual knowledge to detect the cultivation level of the people inside.
After hearing what the two said, despair rose in her eyes, and she scratched the ground with her palms, blood seeping into the soil from between her fingers.
The two thieves approached step by step, but there were footsteps behind them. The thieves stopped and looked at Zhao Ning who walked out slowly in shock and disbelief, which turned into a sarcastic laugh.
"The little girl is so smart. Why didn't my brother go in to find you, but you came out on your own?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, with this little figure, you might want to come and keep me company."
The expressions of these two people were extremely wretched, and they were probably at the third level of Qi training. In their eyes, Zhao Ning, a girl at the second level of Qi training, was as weak as a mortal, and they didn't care at all.
Ye Ziying was also stunned. She didn't expect that there was such a little girl in the mountain col who could not protect herself. She shouted anxiously, "Go away, girl, I can't hurt you, you go away!"
Zhao Ning did not respond to Ye Ziying. She raised her head, her brows clear and firm, her expression unchanged, and she only stared at the two guys who were squinting at her.
"Yes, it's only the second level of Qi training." Zhao Ning said slowly, "But I feel guilty if I don't save her."
Buzz——
The silver-white long sword appeared at his side in an instant, and he made a sword gesture with his fingers together, and the long sword struck the two of them.
The blow was caught off guard, and the two men quickly turned sideways. The sword energy cut through the sleeves of their robes, and a trail of blood appeared symmetrically on their arms.
"You stinky girl, how dare you hurt me!"
One of them was so angry that he drew a long brown sword with his backhand. The hilt of the sword was wrapped with blood vines. He grabbed the hilt and approached the wind very quickly. Zhao Ning quickly retreated. With a turn of his hand, the silver-white long sword changed its direction. In an instant, Stand in front of you.
Qiang——
The tip of the brown-yellow long sword was pressed against the body of the silver-white long sword. The collision between the two made a crisp sword sound. The aura exploded on the silver-white long sword. However, there was a "click" and a crack spread from the tip of the brown-yellow long sword to the hilt. The next second it collapsed into dozens of fragments.
"A low-grade spiritual weapon!"
The man exclaimed, but Zhao Ning took advantage of the moment of his shock and kicked up, whirling and kicking the man away. The other man was also quick and immediately flew to catch him.
The two of them steadied themselves, their eyes less contemptuous and more coveted.
"I said, how dare you, a girl on the second level of Qi training, stay alone in the Spiritual Mist Forest? It turns out that you only have a first-grade low-grade spiritual weapon. Little girl, today you and your sword are all fucking mine!" The gray-robed monk rolled his eyes and said, "I want to live!"
