Seeing Jiang Ning's statement, the mysterious old man didn't offer any more words to persuade him. Instead, the young woman's eyes lit up, and a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes, with an extra sign of recognition.
"Senior, I'm ready, we can start." Jiang Ning's face had a trace of solemnity, but there was an extremely firm look in his eyes.
The young woman raised her eyebrows and said nothing, but a terrifying aura burst out from this bumpy body, instantly covering the entire space.
"boom!"
The moment the soul power fell, Jiang Ning felt as if his body was carrying a 10,000-ton boulder. His whole body was directly pressed to the ground by this powerful soul power, unable to move.
"Damn it, get up."
Jiang Ning growled, first raised his body up with difficulty with both hands, and then knelt on the ground.
In this way, Jiang Ning remained in this position for nearly ten minutes, holding on to his body.
"Get up!"
With another low roar, Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and used all his strength to straighten his body bit by bit until he stood completely.
In the slightly surprised look in the young woman's eyes, Jiang Ning took the first step before he could stabilize his figure.
"pain!"
This is a direct feeling of pain in the soul, as if countless insects are eating away at the body bit by bit, and as if the scars on the body are being torn open over and over again.
"ah!!!!!"
Jiang Ning looked like he was crazy, let out a loud roar, and then took five steps in the direction of the young woman in the eyes of the mysterious old man with disbelief.
After five steps, Jiang Ning's soul became more illusory and transparent, and it was like ripples in the heart of a lake, making ripples.
The mysterious old man knew that this was a precursor to the destruction of his soul.
At this time, Jiang Ning's facial features were twisted together in pain, and the originally delicate face became pale and oozing.
"Ho ho ho..."
The sound of a beast struggling before its death finally came from Jiang Ning. At this time, he was speechless and could only try to stay awake through low growls.
The young woman looked at Jiang Ning, who was almost unconscious, and the admiration in her eyes became stronger and stronger. You must know that she didn't expect Jiang Ning to take nine steps. The condition she mentioned was more to test Jiang Ning's character. She didn't expect this now. The situation turned out to be beyond his surprise.
"There are still three steps left, let me see where your limit is?"
Jiang Ning took another step, and on the seventh step, the last trace of clarity in his mind was gone, only the heartbreaking pain, which was constantly tormenting Jiang Ning's soul.
After taking the eighth step, Jiang Ning had completely lost consciousness, his soul was shaky, and his soul was covered with tiny cracks.
"We have reached the limit, come back!" The mysterious old man looked at Jiang Ning's cracked soul and said immediately.
Seeing that Jiang Ning had no reaction, the mysterious old man immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Qin Anlan, don't play with fire. If you take one step, this kid's soul will be shattered, and it will be useless for anyone to come."
"No……"
"I……"
"good!!!"
The young woman was about to take back her soul power when she saw Jiang Ning lift up his right foot, and in the incredulous eyes of the mysterious old man and the young woman, he took the last step forward! ! !
When Jiang Ning regained consciousness again, his face looked sickly pale.
"Are you awake?"
Jiang Ning endured the severe pain and quickly sat up, seeing the young woman looking directly at him.
Looking at the young woman's eyes, Jiang Ning suddenly felt bad and quickly asked: "Uh, senior, how long have I been asleep?"
The young woman's expression was a bit unnatural, as if she was holding back her breath. Recalling that the old man upstairs just used his realm to bully her, she felt an unknown fire.
However, she herself knew this. Jiang Ning's soul was almost completely shattered. If she hadn't taken the last step, withdrawn the soul power pressure in time, and the old man took action, otherwise, Jiang Ning would have become a soulless body.
At this time, I was holding a breath in my heart, which had no place to attack, and my tone towards Jiang Ning became colder: "One day."
Sensing the young woman's emotional changes, Jiang Ning looked confused. Did he do something wrong again?
But then he thought of something and quickly asked: "Senior, did I fail?"
Because his consciousness only stayed at the seventh step, he had no memory of what happened next.
The young woman curled her lips and did not answer Jiang Ning's question, but said: "Even if you pass the first condition, then, as for the second condition, every time you enter the ninth-level pagoda, you must prepare a story. , it’s best to be the kind where the domineering empress subdues the handsome vassal king, and the talented and beautiful ladies fall in love with each other.”
"Well."
Jiang Ning was a little confused for a moment, what? excellent work? novel? The domineering empress conquers the handsome lord?
Indeed, there are people on the market who write some story novels, and he once saw some disciples of the Xiao family holding these novels and giggling while reading them.
But he himself has never been interested in these things. He never thought that a young woman would make such a request.
"What? Is there anything wrong?" the young woman said coldly.
Jiang Ning quickly shook his head. This condition was much simpler than the first condition.
After seeing Jiang Ning's agreement, the young woman nodded with satisfaction and her face improved slightly.
"By the way, you are now in the one-star soul refining realm. What do you think?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said: "After I was promoted to the Soul Refining Realm, I felt that I had more control over spiritual power, but I didn't feel much else."
The young woman asked: "How far can you perceive now?"
"From a distance of about ten meters, I can clearly sense every movement and silence within ten meters."
The young woman rolled her eyes when she heard Jiang Ning's answer. One-star Soul Refining Realm can release spiritual consciousness within a ten-meter range, which is five meters longer than mine at that time.
Humph, no wonder that old man treated him like a treasure, but to be able to take nine steps under the pressure of my soul power, this boy's natural soul is indeed very good.
Although she thought so in her heart, the young woman still pretended to be calm and said: "Your qualifications are average, so you have to work hard."
Jiang Ning nodded seriously when he heard this.
"Since you are now in the Soul Refining realm, our Qin Clan, like your Jiang Clan, has its own spiritual arts inherited within the clan, so next I will teach you the Soul Refining Art, which will be of great benefit to your soul. But don’t talk about it to outsiders.”
Jiang Ning nodded and solemnly promised.
The young woman pointed her finger, and a beam of fluorescent light shot into Jiang Ning's eyebrows.
The next moment, Jiang Ning felt that there was a spiritual technique in his mind. Jiang Ning immediately sat cross-legged and quietly digested the spiritual technique in the sea of consciousness.
About half an hour later, Jiang Ning opened his eyes, with an incredible look in his eyes. Unexpectedly, this soul refining technique turned out to be a spiritual technique that specializes in cultivating the realm of the soul. The terrifying thing about this spiritual technique is that it can continuously elevate the monks. The strength of the soul, no matter the realm, is still tempering the soul every moment.
It's really a perversion.
"Okay, you can start tempering your soul."
After saying that, the young woman's figure flew to the trunk of the giant tree. She closed her eyes and didn't know whether she was resting or thinking about something.
Jiang Ning was running the Soul Refining Technique in his body, but as soon as he started running it, he almost fell to the ground.
"hiss!"
This pain made Jiang Ning take a breath. The soul in his body felt like it was fried in a frying pan, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
Holding back the pain, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the ground, his body trembling slightly, enduring the torture of the soul refining technique over and over again.
....
Time passed little by little, and it was not until the third day inside the ninth-level pagoda that Jiang Ning opened his eyes. His soul had almost adapted to the pain caused by the Soul Refining Art.
Although the soul is a little more condensed than before, the body has also reached its limit.
At this time, the young woman's voice floated down from the tree, "That's it for today. I have learned that steel is easy to break. Although one day in the pagoda is equal to ten days outside, your body has reached its limit today. Take a good rest and let your body relax completely. It will be more conducive to practice."
Jiang Ning nodded. He also found that his physical condition was not very good, so he stopped practicing forcibly and said goodbye to the young woman.
After leaving the pagoda, Jiang Ning, who appeared in the room, glanced at the sky outside the window, which had already reached sunset.
At this moment, the ferry trembled slightly and stopped. Jiang Ning was a little confused and left the room directly. When he reached the railing on the second floor, he saw that Liu Tingshan had just landed on the first floor deck with a girl. superior.
The girl, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, looked at so many people around her. Not only did she not feel timid at all, she raised her chin slightly and looked at everyone unscrupulously.
When Jiang Ning saw the girl's appearance clearly, he felt his head go blank with a "bang". All the sounds from the outside world disappeared at this moment, and only the girl's appearance was deeply imprinted in Jiang Ning's mind.
"Aman?!"
