"Hey, you don't understand. The amount of Imperial Liquid that can be obtained by each realm's quota is different. He only has a few years of Taoism in the Foundation Establishment realm, but I can gain dozens of Taoism in the Golden Core realm."
As he spoke, he saw Zhao Ning looking at him with a slightly strange expression, as if he was asking, "So how did you lose this spot?"
Shi Yueze let out a long sigh and leaned back on the couch, just like he did when he was leaning on the clouds in the Jihan Palace to drink away his sorrows. "This is not a small punishment after being away from the clan for decades."
Therefore, Zhao Ning understood that Shi Yueze's punishment at this moment was not just as simple as hosting a sword fighting conference. Speaking of hosting a sword fighting conference, something that was embarrassing in the entire Kyushu, it seemed that it was not a punishment in itself, but more It's like a kind of training, but the real punishment is here, that spot that even Shi Yueze is eager to move and covet.
But "the mountain man has his own clever plan." Shi Yueze's Ji Jian lineage had no other Jindan masters, so he thought about letting Zhao Ning join his Ji Jian lineage.
Zhao Ning didn't seem to give Shi Yueze any face.
"Master Shi, you must understand this clearly. I am an inner disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, and I am under the name of Jihan Palace. If I am under the name of Wanjian Sect again, I don't think I care. The disciples in the sect will also be suspicious of who I am that allows all the major sects in Jiuzhou to take care of me like this."
Shi Yueze seemed to have already thought of the answer, "That's all 'Shen Zhaoning''s business. What does it have to do with you, 'Lin Ying'?"
He was smiling, but Zhao Ning remained calm. In fact, she probably had some guesses in her mind. It was well-founded to think that Shi Yueze arranged for his disciples to meet her. Xu Shijian Zhenren knew that he was going to host a sword fight. I was planning this during the conference.
As expected, he came closer again and said, "Zhao Ning, you were in the limelight in Yanzhou Chihuang City back then, and it was under my name, Shi Yueze. Look, you have to give me this favor." Face. And..."
He had a pained expression on his face and said, "You don't need to give me the 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones. I'll also give you an extra half of the imperial liquid. How about that?"
Zhao Ning was helpless at first. As expected of a sword cultivator, he still remembered the 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones extorted by Ji Zong three years ago, but this Emperor's Liquid was indeed a treasure.
Zhao Ning pondered for a moment and then said, "In this case, I will no longer refute Master Shi's kindness. I will register in front of the sword talent list?"
The Sword Fighting Conference will start three years later, and sword cultivators from all over the nine states will gather here. If you want to compete for the top spot on the sword talent list, you must register on the sword talent list before you can participate in the Sword Fighting Conference.
But without thinking, Shi Yueze said directly, "No, I've already registered it for you."
Zhao Ning paused and looked at him helplessly, her eyes seeming to say, "Master Shi, it's good to kill first and then tell the truth. Everything is ready, just waiting for her to nod."
Shi Yueze probably also realized that there was something wrong with doing this.
He concealed it with embarrassment, "I am a prophet of the future, and I am definitely not going to kill him first and tell him later."
Zhao Ning became even more helpless, "In that case, I should transform into Lin Ying now."
Shi Yueze smiled with satisfaction and made a gesture of greeting.
The brilliance on his body fainted, and then the brilliance swayed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into the cold and arrogant Lin Ying from back then.
Lin Ying glanced at Shi Yueze with cold eyes. Shi Yueze shuddered subconsciously, then reacted and smiled, "The temperament and appearance are completely the same as two people. When I first heard about it, I thought it was Lao Qin who was dressing up as a woman. "
A flock of crows seemed to fly over Zhao Ning's head, trying to protect his uncle's image.
At this moment, he heard the door restraint being pulled. Shi Yueze quickly opened the restraint as if he had escaped a disaster, "Come in."
But he saw a lean young man walking outside the door. His cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building. His features were quite handsome, but he didn't smile.
He came in, looked up, and saluted solemnly, "Yuan Shun has met two real people."
"Master Nephew Yuan, why are you here so early when you are not preparing for the sword fighting competition in the sect." Shi Yueze was very talkative and introduced to Zhao Ning with a smile, "This is Master Jianmi of our Wanjian Sect. A closed-door disciple, a prodigy born with sword bones."
Zhao Ning nodded slightly.
Yuan Shun then added, "The real person next to me is a junior sister of our Ji Jian lineage who has been lost since childhood. Her name is Lin Ying, and she is an honorary elder of our Ji Jian lineage."
Yuan Shun's stern expression was almost cracked by what Shi Yueze said, and a huge question popped out of his cracked expression.
What is "lost since childhood" and what is "junior sister"? Didn't Master Jianzhen and his master pass away a hundred years ago?
But in his life he only accepted one extremely unreliable disciple who gave him a headache just thinking about it.
He suppressed his strange emotions and reminded him carefully, "Master Jian, you are a recognized disciple of the Ji Jian lineage of Wanjian Sect."
Shi Yueze's smile faded and his brows stood up. He thought he could say some words of rebuke, so he heard him say, "Close the door when it's closed. Can't it be opened when the door is closed? This junior sister Lin Yinglin is my substitute teacher." Honor the open door and accept the new disciple."
Zhao Ning had been in contact with Shi Yueze several times and was already very calm about his temperament.
He even explained it to Shi Yueze, "Lin has admired Master Ji Jian for a long time, and he fell in love with Master Shi at first sight, so he accepted Master Shi as his teacher and apprentice."
Yuan Shun's expression cracked for a moment, then slowly returned to his original stern look, and he bowed to Zhao Ningxing again, "I've met Uncle Lin."
Zhao Ning nodded slightly.
Yuan Shun said to Shi Yueze again, "Master Jian, the sect leader invites you, Master Jianxu, and Master Yucheng to return to the sect. In seven days, there will be important matters to discuss in the sect's main hall."
He paused slightly, "Uncle Lin, as an honorary elder of the Ji Jian lineage, should return to the sect for a visit."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be right back."
Yuan Shun bowed to the emperor and retreated silently.
Shi Yueze smiled and said, "Zhao Ning, don't worry, I'm just an honorary elder. The sect won't say anything more. There are still a few years left. Please come with me to Wanjian Sect. I'll also go to Wanjian Sect." Please introduce. There is a Sword Wind Cave in the sect, where you can go to hone your sword intent, and you can also engrave the sword intent into Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak."
Zhao Ning nodded, and then reminded him lightly, "Senior Brother Shi, your name should be Lin Ying."
Shi Yueze was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Yes, yes."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the sect!"
Shi Yueze moved and turned into a stream of light and flew out of the main hall of the helm, followed by Zhao Ning.
The Wanjian Sect is built in the mountains. These mountains are steep everywhere. You can see steep cliffs and jagged rocks everywhere. The buildings of the Wanjian Sect also look very arrogant, and they are all made of bricks with flying eaves. completed building.
Every building is huge and magnificent, and the color of the building is cold, but it is not the tens of thousands of years of frost like the Extreme Cold Palace, nor does it have the huge and oppressive feeling like the Blazing City. It itself exudes an endless sense of sharpness.
What Zhao Ning found strange was that these buildings always had missing corners and sides, and some even had a few spiritual bricks cut out of the walls.
"Look, our Wanjian Sect is much more impressive than the Jihan Palace. That Jihan Palace has no characteristics except for being cold." Since Shi Yueze left the Jihan Palace, he seems to have changed from the former worship fanatic to a Every sentence is sarcastic.
But just now he looked at Zhao Ning proudly, and when he saw that Zhao Ning's eyes were not on the whole building, but on the small details, he coughed awkwardly, simply stopped introducing him, and took Zhao Ning directly to Ji Feng Yiline Go to the main peak.
"Although this sect still has a small fortune, the poor ones are us ordinary sword cultivators who are struggling. It is normal to borrow two spiritual stone bricks for emergencies. Right?"
Zhao Ning turned to look at him and dealt with him seriously, "Senior Brother Shi is right, there are excusable circumstances."
Shi Yueze nodded with satisfaction, then he felt something was wrong, and stood on the clouds in the sky to stop Zhao Ning, "No, you call me senior brother, old uncle Qin, then what should I call old Qin, uncle Qin? This What the hell is your seniority?"
Zhao Ning curled her lips slightly and bowed, "I will tell my uncle and accept this gift for my uncle."
Shi Yueze immediately felt a great loss. He wished he could turn back time and space and return to the main hall of the branch. He pushed his way to introduce to Yuan Shun that Lin Ying was the junior sister who accepted the apprentice on behalf of his master. He said loudly that this is his master's disciple and his niece. .
However, if I regret it at the beginning, I will never regret it at the beginning.
"How about I stop that boy Yuan Shun and tell him our seniority again?"
Shi Yueze seemed to be a little moved, and he took a serious look forward. Yuan Shun did not go all the way to Wanjian Sect like them. Yuan Shun had almost entered the inner gate at this time, and he saw Yuan Shun wielding a sword just now. The light flashed across the front.
"Hey, where's the person?" Shi Yueze flew to the location where Yuan Shun's sword aura was before, but he didn't see Yuan Shun.
"Down below." Zhao Ning reminded.
But under the clouds, there was a long and wide staircase of the main hall. Yuan Shun was going to bypass the main hall and go to the rear pavilion, but he was stopped by two people on the cross-mountain corridor. They saw that their clothes were different from Yuan Shun's, but their cultivation levels were almost the same. , presumably an inner disciple.
"Yuan Shun, how on earth did you please the master, and actually let him accept you as a closed disciple? Back then you were not conspicuous at all in the sect's competition, and you were even kicked off the ring by Senior Sister Li. No matter how talented you are, you are like this His cultivation level is nothing more than that."
Another person also sarcastically said, "I'm afraid you have some shameful tricks to trick the Master into taking notice of you. I heard that you are still an ordinary prince. Could it be that you used some ordinary tricks to confuse the Master."
Such intrigues seem so out of place in the Immortal Sect, but these people are sword cultivators and disciples of the Spiritual Root Avenue. Everything they do is casual, with suspicion and calculation in their temperament. This kind of comparison and jealousy It was directly exposed.
Zhao Ning turned her eyes and glanced at Shi Yueze, and saw that Shi Yueze was also frowning.
"This group of disciples of the Spiritual Root Avenue have not been so presumptuous once or twice. I don't know what the sect leader is thinking. Although the sect has the ancient sword cultivation method, it rarely recommends the disciples to practice it. The higher the spiritual root, the better." The more you are allowed to practice the spiritual roots of high-grade immortals, you see, these disciples are also subtly influenced by these spiritual roots, and they do not pay attention to their character at all, they are all bad-tempered."
Zhao Ning had this kind of doubt more than once, but Zhao Ning also knew, "The nature of the mind is more important than the original heart. They are all spiritual root avenues. Some are unaffected and firm in mind, while others are impetuous and lost."
While Zhao Ning was speaking, Yuan Shun was calm, "Have you two junior brothers finished speaking? After that, I will go back and resume my life with the sect master."
"The same sect leader returns to life? Haha, this little mortal bastard has really climbed onto a high branch, thinking that he is going to become the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
"I think it's better for you to go back to the cave and stay there, please the Master more, and ask the Master to give you more cultivation! In case you really get into trouble at the sword fighting competition!"
Yuan Shun seemed to have been stung at a fatal pain point, his expression changed instantly, his eyes were filled with fire, he stretched out his hand, and the spirit sword appeared in his hand.
"You guys are a bunch of bastards. I, Yuan Shun, will ask you two for advice today." As he said this, he raised his hand and the tassel on the spiritual sword was suddenly thrown upwards. The identity token spread out from it, and then turned into a sword. The sword of light gathering is stuck on the bridge.
This is……
"A duel to the death?!" The two provocative disciples were shocked. They never thought that Yuan Shun came up to fight to the death, and they flinched for a moment.
Unlike other sects, the Wanjian Sect prohibits private fights between disciples. If the disciples of the Wanjian Sect want to fight, they directly throw out their identity tokens to form a sword shadow. With the sword shadow as the center, the area is ten feet or so to explain the arena. , the sword shadow lasts for one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, the sword shadow dissipates and the fighting will stop.
But there is another challenge that has no time limit, and that is a life-and-death duel. The shadow of the sword turns into light, covering a land ten feet away, and there is no end to the death.
"Damn it! These bastards!" When Shi Yueze saw how big the matter was, he knew he couldn't stand by and watched. He turned into a stream of light and ran towards the three of them, accompanied by an angry shout.
"Everyone, stop it!"
Shi Yueze suddenly appeared on the competition ground, kicked one of them, and kicked all three of them away. Then he waved his sleeves and shattered the lightsaber.
He pointed at several people and scolded them, ranging from their behavior to their character, from individuals to the mountains where they learned from.
Zhao Ning watched indifferently from the sky. Back then, when the Qingxiao Sect had not been affected by the demon species, there was widespread division of power among the peaks and intrigues among the disciples.
Sometimes Zhao Ning wonders, are these disciples really capable of seeking immortality?
Later, Zhao Ning vaguely understood that they might want to live forever, but it was too far away, so far away that even an ant in the world would not dare to think about it or have no intention to persevere.
Besides, there is no truly powerful person in all of Jiuzhou. For example, Zhao Ning didn’t even know what the realm above Yuan Shen was a long time ago.
In the eyes of everyone, the Yuanshen is as powerful as the sky. If one can practice the Spiritual Root Dao to the Golden Core Yuanying in the fastest time and with the least disaster, he can become a powerful person above tens of millions of people in Jiuzhou early, and he can look down on Jiuzhou. Isn't it more refreshing and easier than practicing hard on the ancient path? Why search for the ancient road, why search for a legendary realm that may not even exist tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago?
Most people avoid the obvious benefits of unknown trends.
But now that Zhao Ning has put aside many subjective and unintentional prejudices, she is even more confused. When those cultivators of the Spiritual Root Path reach the realm of Jindan and Nascent Soul, they will look back at the path of cultivation, and look up and forward again. With no way to go, will you feel sad or regretful?
At this time, why don't they tell the younger generations that the ancient path is the orthodox path on the road to spiritual practice.
There may be seniors who are unwilling to say it, and there may be juniors who are disdainful to listen, but among the thousands of monks there will always be a few who are clear-minded and know the pros and cons. Instead of letting the Spiritual Root Avenue become more and more popular in Kyushu, the ancient road has almost declined, and the practice has become more and more popular. The nature of the mind becomes a mockery asking for trouble.
All answers seem to be covered with a fig leaf.
"Junior sister Lin, what are you thinking about?" At this time, Shi Yueze had returned. He called out twice in confusion, only to receive a faint look from Zhao Ning in response and an inexplicable question, "Which way did Shi Zhenren leave?" Ancient road or Linggen Avenue?"
"Of course it's the ancient path." Shi Yueze sighed, "My five elements of spiritual roots are a waste of the spiritual root avenue. How could I have the opportunity to practice the spiritual root avenue back then. However, it's good to think about the ancient path now. After all the difficulties, I can still achieve success. Got the top grade golden elixir."
"Then if Master Shi had a single spiritual root and had an unparalleled heavenly spiritual root in the world, would you still practice the ancient path?"
Shi Yueze was silent, his expression was confused for a moment, and then returned to his lazy appearance, "What's the choice? When you first enter the sect, the master who teaches you will put a book of skills in front of you. Let me tell you, you are suitable for this kind of technique, and you can become a god by practicing it, Lin Ying, will you accept it impatiently?"
For a moment, enlightenment seemed to flash through Zhao Ning's mind.
She knew that her thoughts just now were in a deadlock. It was not about how to choose, but because of her rational and rational thinking at that time, she had no choice at all. She had to accept whatever was put in front of her.
Just like herself, if the Rejuvenation Technique back then was not an ancient Taoist technique, but a Spiritual Root Dao technique, she would still practice it without hesitation.
