When he came to the secret realm, Qi Mingchen didn't see the sword king's soul immediately.
[It seems that Xiaojian will not come. 】
He ignored the ghost's voice and continued to comprehend the sword intention. This time, he completed the three sword intentions he originally comprehended in one go, and continued to prepare for the next one.
"Do you like swords?"
At this time, a childish voice suddenly came from my ears.
Qi Mingchen looked sideways and saw a ball of red energy floating aside. It was obviously only a red ball, but he could clearly feel the hesitation and timidity in it.
He turned around and faced the Sword King Soul and answered seriously: "I haven't been exposed to swords for a long time, so I can't answer your question..."
Faced with his obviously lost state, he continued: "But what I am sure of is that I like you very much, because I know you and am familiar with you, so I am very clear about this issue."
The red energy blob came to life, spinning around in a circle and asking, "Will we always be friends?"
"Of course, as long as I'm here, we'll always be good friends."
"Best friend." Sword King Soul added in a low voice. Then it remembered something and said, "Where is Lord Ghost who called me out before? Is he also your good friend?"
"no."
【no. 】
They answered categorically.
Seeing this level of tacit understanding, the Sword King Soul was confused, and then it continued to ask: "Then why is Lord Ninggui with you? I remember that Lord Ninggui is also the master of the secret realm. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to Showing up casually.”
Qi Mingchen believed this sentence, otherwise Sword King Soul would not be so easy to fool.
Moreover, because of its timidity, it has never dared to show its face, and has very few opportunities to communicate with people. If the ghost had not called it out in a special way, he would not have had the opportunity to make a contract with it.
"I met it by chance, and it followed up on its own." Qi Mingchen replied without any emotion, and his tone was calm.
[You talk about me as if I’m cheap, but I’m a famous underworld ghost! 】
Faced with such an exchange, the Sword King Soul hesitated for a while, and seemed to have made up its mind. It asked: "You really want to be friends with me, right?"
"That's inevitable." He nodded affirmatively.
"Then, I want to leave here with you!" Sword King Hun's voice became particularly loud for fear that he would regret it.
Qi Mingchen showed a surprised expression and said: "I heard from Ming Gui that you are very afraid of the outside world. I don't want to force my friends. Although I may not have the chance to come back in the future, I will not forget you."
The Sword King Soul became even more determined when he heard this, "I want to go with you. I can fuse with the sword behind you. In this way, the quality of the sword can change with your strength, and there will be no problem of being peeped at will!" "
Qi Mingchen looked at it for a long time. Just when every ghost and every soul thought he would agree, he shook his head and said, "Although I also want to take you away, I hope you will think carefully and not be impulsive."
"I didn't rush..."
"Ajian, you must think it over carefully, okay?" Qi Mingchen looked at the other party seriously and interrupted him seriously.
The Sword King's soul was very touched, and red energy began to flow around.
"The next time I come here will probably be the last time. If you still want to leave with me then, can we make a contract?"
His voice was soft, and he was thinking about the other person every step of the way.
"...Okay." Sword King Hun shook his body and strengthened his decision.
Next, Qi Mingchen continued to understand the sword intention. There were eight fifty-point sword intentions in total. If he understood all of them, he could get 400 points. This score should be enough to rank him in the top twenty-four.
After he spent the remaining time to comprehend all fifty-ten sword intentions, he also comprehended two or three ten-ten sword intentions just in case.
Before his body disappeared, Qi Mingchen said to the red energy: "See you next time, friend."
The next second, he appeared in the martial arts field.
[You could obviously make a contract with the Sword King Soul just now, why didn’t you agree directly. 】
The ghost was very puzzled by his behavior.
Qi Mingchen: If it made a contract with me and left me because of impulse, then it will definitely regret it in the future, and may even resent me. As a friend, I should give it the right to regret.
[Why do you really consider it a friend? 】
Qi Mingchen: Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. Although it does have ulterior motives, every word is not a lie. I sincerely consider it, right?
【You are a bit scary...】
When he found the Canglong faction's team, he found that everyone's faces were filled with smiles, except for Li Ming.
"Junior Brother Qi, I didn't expect your method to be really effective. My score is nearly twice as high as before!" Mo Xixi said excitedly.
Huo Mian said: "Because I am about to break through, I can understand a fifty-fifty sword intention, and my ranking will definitely be stable!"
Luo Mu and Nan Ruiga also looked much more relaxed, and seemed to have obtained good scores.
Li Ming's expression was very bad. Because he was not convinced, he did not follow his way, and his score was still in a very bad state.
Qi Mingchen opened his palm and found that his ranking had appeared.
The number above has changed from four hundred and twenty-three to twenty-three, and there is only one person missing from being placed in the middle formation!
He breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, he is not going to keep a low profile anymore. Such a rising speed will definitely be noticed, so there is no use in keeping a low profile.
"Junior Brother Qi, what's your rank?" Mo Xixi came over and asked. She was happy because her rank was back within 300, and her whole body became excited.
But when she glanced at the numbers on Qi Mingchen's palm, the expression on her face instantly became dull and she froze in place.
"What's wrong?" Luo Mu, who was not far away, saw this scene and came over to take a look. His expression became exactly the same as that of the person next to him, as if he was petrified.
"What's wrong with you?" Nan Ruijia saw the two people's appearance and was very puzzled. He came over to take a look...
"Brother and sister, what happened?" Huo Mian came over curiously at last. When his eyes came into contact with Qi Mingchen's palm, his eyes slowly widened. Then he pointed at his palm in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Two Two two two twenty three!”
Li Ming, who had been depressed, heard this and quickly came over and saw the numbers on his palm, "How is it possible? Didn't you still do it in the outer formation for the first time?"
Qi Mingchen retracted his palm and said: "I haven't had much rest recently. I'll go back and take a nap before opening the training tower."
He ignored the surprised looks of these people and walked towards the yard.
"No, no, no, wait a minute!" Mo Xixi stopped him, "How did you get to this ranking?"
Seeing several people surrounding him, Qi Mingchen looked at him curiously, and could only explain: "I didn't know how to understand it at first, but then after I knew how to understand it, it became much smoother."
"Is that so?" Luo Mu was sluggish to understand what he meant, but couldn't understand anything after thinking about it.
"Forget it, you go and rest first. Remember to tell us carefully before the next competition." Mo Xixi waved her hands, looking a little dazed, but after seeing Qi Mingchen's slightly tired face, she still Gently let him go back to rest.
Qi Mingchen nodded and left quickly.
The recent practice and understanding of sword intention have really consumed a lot of energy from him, and he has never rested, not even sleeping.
When he returned to the yard, he lay down directly and began to sleep without doing anything extra.
This break ended with the aroma of the food wafting into the house.
Qi Mingchen opened his eyes in confusion, and soon his eyes became clear again.
I slept until dinner time. Although it didn't take long, I was almost rested.
When he walked out of the house, he saw Mo Xixi who was busy cooking. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "I just wanted to wake you up to eat, but I didn't expect you were already awake."
"Because it smells delicious." Qi Mingchen rarely eats stir-fried vegetables. He often eats barbecue or some stewed food.
He doesn't like crowded places, and he doesn't go to the canteen on weekdays, so he rarely has the opportunity to eat stir-fry.
"Then eat more!" Mo Xixi held out a large bowl of vegetables, then placed a piece of steamed bun on it, handed it to him, and said, "There is still more, so eat slowly."
Qi Mingchen took the bowl, perhaps because he had just woken up and his mind was not yet clear. As he ate, the fragrance of stir-fried vegetables emanated from his mouth, and he unexpectedly felt that the atmosphere was not bad.
There is no intrigue, everyone is in the same camp. Although there may be minor frictions and conflicts, they will not be serious enough to harm lives.
Even the loneliness that had always been with him dissipated a lot.
"How do you make stir-fry? There's no meat in it..." Li Ming's complaint interrupted his thoughts.
He took back his previous thoughts. Sometimes, even if they were in the same camp, it didn't mean that they would be united in their hearts.
It is a gathering of people with different thoughts.
Qi Mingchen finished the vegetables and steamed buns in a few mouthfuls, returned the bowl to Mo Xixi, thanked her, and left the yard.
There was still a little time before the training tower opened, and he was going to take a stroll nearby.
After walking for a while, the management in the Sword Pavilion seemed to be relatively strict. There were few fights among the disciples. Perhaps the sword cultivators were relatively cold-tempered. They basically didn't say hello when they met, and just left in a hurry to practice separately.
I have been coming to Jiange for so long, but I have never had a good look at this place.
The only area he can walk within is the outer gate of the sword pavilion. The inner gate is definitely inaccessible. Both the architecture and the landscape here are very magnificent. As long as he walks here, he will calm down unconsciously.
After walking for a while, just when he felt it was time to go back, his steps suddenly stopped.
A beautifully dressed figure not far away seemed to be looking for something, until he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he ran over in a hurry.
"Master Qi! I finally found you!"
Yuan Lu's originally gentle face became vivid due to excitement, and his cheeks turned red.
"Why are you here?" Qi Mingchen asked in confusion.
