Chapter 057
After a slight recovery in cultivation, but only one level of Qi training, Zhao Ning was unwilling to stay in Yue Ming's land for a long time.
Just because she used the Thousand Miles of Wind Escape Talisman to escape thousands of miles away from Guiyuan City does not mean that the trouble in Guiyuan City has been solved.
What's more, before escaping, the battle between Tian Yuchang and Qin Keyuan had just begun.
Zhao Ning urgently wanted to know how Senior Qin was doing.
Qin Keyuan blocked Tian Yuchang's killing move against her. If something happened to her because of this, Zhao Ning would feel guilty and could not absolve herself of the blame.
Although Ji Xiu and Yu Jingjue both have a very high opinion of Qin Keyuan's strength, and it is widely said that Qin Keyuan is one of the strongest players in the foundation-building realm of Kunxu Cultivation World, but Tian Yuchang is too weird. The cultivation of others, from the sixth level of Qi training to the perfection of foundation building in just ten days, is no longer something that can be estimated by common sense.
Zhao Ning knew that her cultivation level was low and it was impossible to help Qin Keyuan and others, but Zhao Ning did not want to be the one who ran away.
It is better to die in the battle of slaying demons than to betray others in disaster.
Standing in the center of the tree hole space, within a few days, the tree hole space has shrunk a lot compared to before, and the inner wall has a sense of decay. The stone platform and Tai Ke's corpse in the shadow have long been turned into powder and dissipated in the world, and there is no more in the world. About the traces of Tai Ke.
Zhao Ning closed her eyes and sensed, and the next moment she appeared outside the giant tree.
The swamp with a radius of dozens of feet has dried up, and the ground is charred and black with faint lightning. No monsters or monsters dare to approach. The skeletons that once hid in the ground and attacked people have turned into piles of debris. However, within a few days, everything has changed. same.
She stood under the tree and looked up at the withered giant tree. It was desolate and withered. A gust of wind blew by, and the dead leaves fell from the branches in pieces.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the giant tree trembled.
The space inside the tree collapsed, turning into a clear light that surrounded the tree body. The thunder light contained in the ground around the tree gathered towards the giant tree. The surface of the tree body peeled off, and the giant tree shrunk sharply. The thunder light and clear light intertwined, and finally gradually converged into a nearly three-foot-long tree. branches.
Zhao Ning stretched out her hand, and the branch fell into her palm. The most refined and pure power of Yin Wood and the power of thunder merged into one.
Thunder Soul Wood is a natural and earthly treasure nurtured the day after tomorrow.
If a person's soul has not cultivated to the realm of Yuanshen, and the soul leaves the body, the physical body will decline and the soul fire will be extinguished, making it extremely difficult to walk in the human world with the soul body.
Even a cultivator who has entered the spiritual path can temporarily leave the body due to the strength of his soul body, but it can only last for one stick of incense. Within one stick of incense, the soul will not return and the fate will be the same. However, Tai Ke's soul in the Qi refining period is the same. The reason why it can survive for thousands of years may be due to the influence of the secret method of Jimo Palace, and the external environment is different.
The Yin Qi of Yue Ming's land is extremely heavy with death. The giant tree uses the power of Yin wood to open up a small space, and competes with the thunder of divine punishment. Coupled with the magic of Taixu's six spiritual sources, the genius earth treasure was born in front of Zhao Ning. .
The so-called blessings and disasters are probably nothing more than this.
The Land of Yue Ming is located in the lower middle left part of Lingwu Forest. From the map, the distance across Lingwu Forest from here is the shortest, but there are many dangerous space cracks and big monsters in the straight line distance. Zhao Ning had to bypass these areas if he wanted to cross the Lingwu Forest.
Fortunately, the Breath Concealing Technique is not a secret technique. Although it is not as effective as the spell elixir, and it is not as magical as Ten Thousand Trees Concealing Breath, it can still contain 50% of the breath. Meet a tough monster.
Strangely enough, the number of monsters in the Spirit Mist Forest seems to have decreased a lot, and some of the usually active monster monkeys are rarely seen in the forest.
Zhao Ning conducted tests for two days in a row and found that even when the white mist was covering them, these monsters were still huddled and rarely came out to cause trouble. I wonder if Ji Xiu led the elites of the four sect masters into the forest to hunt down the demonic cultivators and give the entire spiritual The foggy forest caused a shock, making these monsters hide as much as they should, and they were extremely honest.
After walking for nearly ten days, even though they were crossing the narrowest area of Lingwu Forest, Zhao Ning still only walked a quarter of the way.
Zhao Ning was a little anxious, so he simply let go of his courage and hurried on while the white mist was rising.
After walking for another three days, it was white fog. Zhao Ning, who often walked in the fog, finally inevitably encountered a difficult monster.
A huge amethyst bear. This monster is very similar to an ordinary brown bear. The biggest difference is that it has a two-inch long diamond-shaped amethyst embedded in its forehead. The amethyst bear relies on this amethyst. Use the spell to emit purple flames. The power of the purple flames is far greater than that of ordinary flames, and its temperature is at least three times the temperature of ordinary flames. If a cultivator does not have spiritual power to protect his body, he will be easily burned to ashes by the purple flames.
The amethyst bear in front of me is very tall, even if it is slightly bent, it is still nine feet tall.
It is rumored that the Amethyst Bear has poor eyesight and can identify the direction by its breath. If it is hostile, temporarily sealing the mouth and nose, holding its breath and hiding, it may be possible to prevent the Amethyst Bear from detecting its location.
Originally, with the blessing of the Zhao Ning Hidden Breath Technique, the amethyst bear would hardly notice her, but what was unlucky was that the amethyst bear suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ning, directly blocking the way, and Zhao Ning couldn't even hide it. .
Although the Amethyst Bear is bulky, it is not slow. At least the speed at which the Amethyst Bear suddenly jumped out of the white mist just now has completely surpassed the speed of the cultivator's wind control.
Zhao Ning paused on the spot, holding his sword vigilantly, and quickly thinking of ways to escape.
This amethyst bear was very irritable and kept roaring at Zhao Ning. He was not worried about the routine. The next moment, he jumped three feet in front of Zhao Ning. A huge shadow cast a huge shadow and waved out the bear's paw. Zhao Ning flew away in an emergency. The bear's paws slapped on the ground and a puff of smoke gradually rose up.
Zhao Ning stepped on the tree trunk and used the strength to run forward against the wind.
Bear Palm followed closely behind, the amethyst on his forehead flashed slightly, and a purple flame shot out towards Zhao Ning.
Unable to avoid it, Zhao Ning had no choice but to turn around and use the Water Shield Technique to arrive. Water was supposed to defeat fire, but she didn't expect that the water shield collided with the purple flames, and the hot temperature instantly burned Zhao Ning's palms. She wrapped the purple flames with the water shield, Forcibly throwing away the purple flame, it burned for three breaths and then went out.
Although the purple flame is strong, it does not burn for long, so this amethyst bear is not a powerful monster in the Spirit Mist Forest. On the contrary, the amethyst on its forehead is often used as a material for refining weapons and elixirs.
It's a pity that Zhao Ning can't reach the first level of Qi training. In the Spirit Mist Forest, both monsters and cultivators are at the bottom of the list.
Zhao Ning didn't want to fight with it at all. She threw away Zi Yan and ran forward immediately, but the guy roared even louder, as if he was determined to intercept her.
The Amethyst Bear jumped up from behind, and the ground seemed to tremble the moment he kicked off. He leaped into the air twice and landed in front of Zhao Ning. He turned around and slapped Zhao Ning, who hit the tree trunk with a Wood Armor Technique. on, and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the Amethyst Bear's slap was only its own power and did not bless the demon spirit power. It was nothing to the cultivator's physique.
Zhao Ning was only slightly dizzy from the collision and did not suffer any other injuries.
The Amethyst Bear ran towards him in big strides. Seeing it getting closer and closer, Zhao Ning focused his gaze and shot out the newly refined soul-binding needle, hitting the Amethyst Bear between the eyebrows.
Its movements were sudden and sudden, and then it fell to the ground.
Layers of dust swirled up, Zhao Ning exhaled, and finally solved the problem, except that another soul-binding needle was wasted. Recently, there was an urgent shortage of spiritual stones, and Zhao Ning suffered from temporary physical pain.
She got up and was about to leave, but was attracted by a light on the Amethyst Bear's calf.
Zhao Ning came closer and inserted a broken arrow into the Amethyst Bear's left leg. The broken arrow was broken three inches from the wound. Blood flowed out in streams and was covered by thick brown hair.
The exposed part of the broken arrow was engraved with patterns, like the logo of a certain sect. His palm was placed on the broken arrow, and spiritual power poured in, pulling out the broken arrow.
Although the lines are still incomplete, they can still be recognized to some extent.
"Burning Tianmen?"
The wound marks were extremely fresh and must not have been more than two hours old.
Could it be that while the Burning Heaven Clan was searching for and suppressing the demonic cultivators, they wanted to dig up an amethyst and bring it back to refine weapons?
Before Zhao Ning could figure out the reason, she saw the Amethyst Bear twitching slightly and seemed to be waking up.
This... I don't know if it was because his cultivation level was too low to display its power, or because the amethyst bear skin, thick flesh, and soul-binding needle were ineffective. Zhao Ning threw the broken arrow decisively, and Yu Feng was about to run away.
Snapped--
But she didn't want to be slapped by the Amethyst Bear, which suppressed the hem of her skirt and forced it back. Zhao Ning raised her sword and tried to fight back. She saw that the Amethyst Bear was still weak, and it was obvious that she had not fully recovered from the effect of the soul-binding needle. At least the demon soul with a hint of intelligence has not been completely liberated, and now it is completely instinctive.
On the contrary, instinct made Zhao Ning a little confused. This big man was actually rubbing Zhao Ning's calf, just like a small cat coquettishly acting at his feet. However, this big man's coquettishness made Zhao Ning stagger around and almost fall.
When Zhao Ning was stunned, the Amethyst Bear licked the wound on his leg again. There was a shallow clear light on the edge of the wound. It was visibly healed by three points until the clear light completely dissipated.
Amethyst Bear rubbed Zhao Ning again, and Zhao Ning was knocked to the ground. She spread her palms and gathered her spiritual light.
With some thoughts of trying, Zhao Ning put his hand down, and the spiritual light spread and penetrated into the Amethyst Bear's flesh. Sure enough, the wound was slowly healing.
"Did you end up on the path of medical cultivation by mistake?"
There is no mark on the jade slip that The Secret Tradition of the Six Paths of Taixu is a book of medical techniques. Zhao Ning was at a loss, but quickly relieved. No matter what kind of skill it was, as a supreme skill recognized by the House of Silent Spirit, Zhao Ning could not give up.
"Strange, I just heard the roar of the Amethyst Bear coming from here, why is it missing?"
While distracted, voices came from the white mist dozens of feet away.
Zhao Ning was surprised. It had been half a month since she entered the Lingwu Forest and she hadn't met any cultivators.
Perhaps Zhao Ning's previous experiences of meeting cultivators in Lingwu Forest were too bloody, which made Zhao Ning subconsciously not want to have direct contact with cultivators.
He immediately withdrew his spiritual power, climbed up against the wind, got into the dense high branches, and performed a breath-concealing technique.
Seeing that no one was treating its wounds, the Amethyst Bear roared in dissatisfaction, which actually attracted the attention of nearby cultivators.
"Over there! There's a sound!"
Immediately there were footsteps running towards this side. The Amethyst Bear stood up unsteadily and roared in the direction Zhao Ning left, but Zhao Ning's shadow could not be found, and several cultivators had already entered. Within ten feet, the Amethyst Bear moved his nose and smelled the coming person's breath. He roared angrily and rushed directly towards the cultivators.
"Oops, this beast found him first, get out of here."
I saw three cultivators quickly occupying three sides in the white mist. One of them flew up to a high branch, holding a green long bow. The long bow was pointed at the Amethyst Bear. The Amethyst Bear was attacking the other two cultivators like crazy, and The two were fighting very close to each other, and the cultivator on the high branch had no chance to shoot an arrow, fearing that he might accidentally injure his companion.
Zhao Ning was hiding on a high branch not far away, leaning slightly behind the thick trunk to take a look.
These three cultivators all wear fire-patterned robes, which is the symbol of the inner disciples of Burning Heaven Clan.
The two ran for a few steps and then stopped. The person on the high branch fell to the ground and walked into them.
"Damn it, this beast got away again."
"I have long said not to act when the white mist rises. This amethyst bear has already run away twice. If people from the other three major sects find out, they won't know how to laugh at us."
"This white mist lasted for nine hours. The nearby monsters were frightened by the four major sects' foundation-building true teachings using the Eight Diagrams Soul Refining Formation and did not dare to come out. If we don't take advantage of this period to search for some resources, wouldn't it be that the spiritual mist was in vain? A trip to the forest.”
Bagua Soul Refining Formation? Zhao Ning lowered her eyes. She didn't know much about the battle method, but using the four major foundation-building traditions together would definitely not be easy.
Zhao Ning looked into the vast white mist, wondering if the formation was the true successor of the Qingxiao Sect or not, it was Ji Xiu.
Perhaps it was Zhao Ning's momentary deflection that caused a flaw in the concealment technique. Someone among the three people immediately raised their heads and looked over.
"who?!"
"come out!"
Zhao Ning hesitated for a moment, but still flew down from the high branch and stopped at the edge of the visible limit of the white mist.
Zhao Ning thought that it was unlikely for the three sect disciples who were high-level Qi practitioners to escape quietly.
"A fish that slipped through the net?"
Zhao Ning knew that he was referring to the demonic cultivator who had slipped through the net. After all, it was extremely abnormal for a weak cultivator with a first-level Qi training to appear unharmed in the middle of the cloud forest.
Zhao Ning held up his hand and said, "I have met several senior fellows from the Burning Heaven Clan. The younger Zhao Ning is a casual cultivator in Guiyuan City. A few days ago, I was collecting medicinal materials outside the Lingwu Forest and met a cultivator with ill intentions. I burned the cultivator out of desperation. Because I used the escape technique, I originally wanted to escape from the Spirit Mist Forest, but my skills were not good enough and I ended up escaping into the forest."
She stopped talking, and her calm expression seemed to be covering up her inner annoyance and helplessness.
One of them covered his mouth and snickered, while the other two moved their mouth corners.
"Ahem." The leader gave a fake cough, glared at the snickering person, took a few steps towards Zhao Ning, and softened his tone, "Little fairy, it's not that we don't trust you, but the evil spirit is causing trouble in Lingwu Forest now. , I don’t know when I was planted with evil thoughts, you must come with us to the Fengling Cave and let the medical monks check it out."
Fengling Cave is definitely not a good place for casual cultivators. Guiyuan City is in charge of the Casual Cultivators Alliance. Fenglung Cave is a prison for casual cultivators who disobey discipline and do not follow the rules.
There is a spirit-sealing restriction set by the Great Power. Once you enter it, your cultivation level will be completely sealed, and you will be like a mortal. If you go in, you will be cut off by others, and you will be treated like fish and meat, without the ability to resist.
The man who was snickering actually trusted Zhao Ning 80%, and his smile was obvious, "Little fairy, don't be afraid, if you follow us, at least you won't be destroyed by those beasts without eyes."
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
