This trip was the most fruitful one for the five of them since they were able to go out, and it was also the most tiring. Therefore, after everyone returned, they returned to the room and fell asleep without saying a word.
After dawn, Qian Chao got up and felt energetic again. There were many things to do, but first he had to smelt some ore he got from outside the sect, and then went to the Chengqi Hall after tidying up a little.
This time when he arrived at the Chengqi Hall, Qian Chao vaguely noticed something different. When he stepped into the Chengqi Hall, some of the monks who were refining weapons inside stopped what they were doing when they saw him coming in. Things were staring at him, and some were whispering to each other while looking at him.
Qian Chao understood that the fights the five of him fought outside the sect had probably spread to the sect. He ignored them and greeted some familiar people with a normal expression, then went to look for himself. The remote location with few people became busy.
In fact, the only thing that everyone knows now is the incident of rescuing Chen Xian. After Chen Xian returned to the sect with two injured people, the news about the low-level monks' victory over the middle-level monks spread in a small area. However, Not many people believed it, and most of the people who heard about it were just doubtful. Most people in the Chengqi Hall remembered that Junior Brother Qian entered the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall on the second floor of the weapon refining hall, but When it comes to fighting with others, they always feel that Junior Brother Qian usually looks weak and doesn't seem to be a master.
What happened to Wang Yizhong and the other four people who were dealt with by Qian Chao and the other five people later will not be reported back to the sect. Wang Yizhong was beheaded by Yan Jing outside the sect with a sword. Yan Jing himself would not say this. , naturally no one will know. It will take a longer time for people to know that Wang Yizhong probably died outside the clan, but no one will feel sorry for him, and many people will even say in their hearts that he deserves it. !
The next five people rescued Shang Jie, and the last time he was bumped into by Cheng Qiantang. The fight has not spread yet. If more people know about these two things, especially the last one that Cheng Qiantang saw with his own eyes, I am afraid that the views of the disciples within Jiu Xuan towards this Junior Brother Qian will be greatly changed.
Tang Ping said that he would refine a few more sets of soul-locking stakes for setting up the soul-locking array, and Qian Chao was still a little dissatisfied with the current function of the soul-locking stakes, so he always had to modify them, and there were other things he could get from them. The formation of the Heaven and Earth Cage needs to be pondered, and the many books obtained from the ruins must also be read. Time is tight, and Qian Chao's work speed has also accelerated a lot.
…
At the same time, at the edge of the purple bamboo forest in Muxiufeng, Li Jian was also preparing to start a day of practice.
He had two major gains from this trip. The first was a sparring session with a sword cultivator. This contest with Yun Xi gave him some unexpected joy. It was exactly what Senior Leng Yue had said about the Qingming of the Sword Heart. He I remember that in the state of clear sword mind, I could indeed grasp the subtle changes in the opponent's mind, but there were still many unknown things that I had to ask Senior Leng Yue for advice again. At this time, Li Jian suddenly I feel that it is really a good thing to become a disciple. For example, now, if he has become a disciple of Senior Leng, he can go directly to ask for advice after returning from outside the sect, but now he has to wait for that senior. Li Jian made up her mind. After passing the Xiaowu Pass, she would take the initiative to come to her door and ask to be her disciple without waiting for the senior to mention it. Of course, not only did he gain something from that sparring session, but Yunxi who fought against him also gained a lot. With the help of that sparring session, she learned some ways to break through the bottleneck of her cultivation. It was with the help of Jianxin Qingming that Li Jian noticed Yunxi's behavior. It was a surprise. It was naturally important to break through the small five levels, but Li Jian was still more willing to let nature take its course, so he was not jealous. Moreover, it was hard to say that it was a good thing that someone like Yun Xi had gone far on the road of sword cultivation. He returned to himself yesterday When he was in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he also passed by Yunxi's small white-walled courtyard, and couldn't help but take a look at it from a distance. It was quiet there, so Yunxi must be studying hard at this time;
The second one is the clips he got from his own induction that night in Hongxia Valley about the fight between the two white cranes and the guys coming out of the pool. That was the biggest gain for Li Jian during this trip. It is said that the sword's heart is still a bit mysterious, but the swordsmanship is real! Although Li Jian has two swords, he usually only uses one like an ordinary swordsman. This is also his habit. He only uses both swords when necessary. Although he has studied some double sword techniques before, he still uses them. There was not much time left, and he always felt that these two swords seemed a bit cumbersome, as if one sword was enough. But that night, when the two white cranes stood side by side, facing the rising water in the pool, he vaguely realized the beauty of the two swords. To him, the long beaks of the two white cranes were just like two swords. Spirit Sword, when facing an enemy, one of the two white cranes stabs out with its sharp beak first, seeming to lure the enemy and directly attack the enemy's vital points, while the other white crane first leads but does not strike and then suddenly attacks, the other with a long beak then strikes out. But the difference is that the sharp beaks of the two white cranes are in no particular order. They change instantly. They appear to be two white cranes, but they seem to have the same mind, just like a person standing in a pool holding two swords. Like the monsters that emerged from the side, he used his sword without any tricks. One sword drew out the opponent's weaknesses, and the other sword broke the enemy and made achievements. He thought that the battle between such powerful spiritual beasts would be difficult no matter what. The earth-shaking fight lasted for a while, and they were trying to fight each other to the point of shaking the earth. Unfortunately, just such a meeting ended unexpectedly. Because of this, he had a vague understanding of the great truth and simplicity, and his sword skills also improved. It should be so!
It's a pity that he couldn't see the whole battle. His senses were tightly suppressed by the unparalleled power emanating from the water pool at that time, as if someone had forcibly covered his eyes with a cloth.
But to his joy, he later found that his senses seemed to have become stronger than before after being suppressed that time. Unfortunately, such battles cannot always happen!
In any case, I will have to work more on these swords in the future. Li Jian held two green bamboo branches and recalled the scene when the white crane attacked the enemy that night at the edge of the purple bamboo forest. While comprehending the green bamboo branches in his hands, he Dance with it.
…
In Qixia Mountain, Yanxuan arrived at Baicao Courtyard early in the morning. The spiritual herbs obtained from outside the sect had only been roughly packed. If they were to be used to make elixirs or medicines, they would have to be carefully taken care of again.
It took about two hours to select, wash and divide the grass. Then Yanxuan got up and headed towards Nan Yutang.
Alchemy always needs to be refined, and Yanxuan will definitely not give up on alchemy. Even if he becomes his teacher in the future, Senior Zhong, who is not good at alchemy, will only have to put more effort into this alchemy than now.
She only knew Senior Brother Mi in Nanyu Hall. After saying hello, she found a more secluded place. After entering, she completely blocked the screen behind her, then took out the pill furnace that Brother Qian had refined for herself, and prepared to refine it. Give it a try with a few furnaces of elixirs.
If the refining goes smoothly, you can refining a few more furnaces today, or you can try refining the "Chengyuan Pill", and then practice for a while in the evening.
That's what she planned.
But just when she was about to put the selected spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace, she smelled the bitter smell when someone next to her opened the furnace after failing to make alchemy. She couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking that this was really not a good sign. It seems that you need to be more careful when refining alchemy today.
Of course, this is just the habitual thinking of many disciples in Qixia Mountain when refining alchemy. It does not mean that if the person next to him opens the furnace and the elixir is refined and the fragrance of elixir is overflowing, then Tang Ping will be able to get involved in that person while refining elixir today. With the blessing, I have good harvests from every furnace, and I can always make elixirs.
Right next door to Yanxuan, a young man was staring sadly at the charred object taken out of the furnace. The smell of burning was even stronger in front of him, making him frown.
This man is Mr. Qin Suijie, whom he has not seen for a long time. At this time, Qin Suijie's cultivation level is only at the second level of Qi Refining. This is all thanks to the Zhuangling Pill that he was forced to swallow that day.
It was the Zhuang Ling Pill that allowed him to enter the Qi refining stage early and leave Youming Valley early, thus preserving his future practice. But it was also the Zhuang Ling Pill that allowed him to work hard no matter how hard he practiced. He worked hard, but his progress in cultivation became extremely slow, which made him feel very gloomy all the time. At the beginning, he was prepared to use his own hard work to break the curse of the Zhuangling Pill, but it was obvious that he failed. The reputation of the Qin family's Zhuangling Pill could not be broken by a small Qi-refining disciple of his. It can be broken! What's even more painful is that people in the sect will never be blind, so he also unintentionally knew something about Qian Chao, knowing that the damn guy had actually broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but he himself It seems that I will never be able to break through the third level of Qi refining!
Even alchemy always ends in failure!
He didn't really hate Wei Liao (Mr. Shen Wei), his half-brother, but he hated Qian Chao very much, because he knew that all of this was Qian Chao. Caused behind the scenes!
With cold eyes, he reached out and dipped his hand into the burnt black stuff and put it into his mouth, letting the bitter taste fill his entire mouth. While savoring the bitterness, he hated the boy named Qian Chao in his heart. !
It’s just that Mr. Qin doesn’t know now that he will be involved in a storm soon. It was just an accident at first, but then he thought of taking advantage of the situation, because that time he saw revenge hope!
…
In the Houtu Temple, Senior Kang Fu, who was in a good mood in the morning, took his precious apprentice to practice sparring.
A few days ago, Kang Fu was sent out by the sect for something. The matter went smoothly. Later, the sect sent someone to take over, and he returned to the sect. The leader of the people who took over was his good friend Tang Bo. Old man Nian Tang, after returning to the sect, he met his precious apprentice who came back from outside the sect. He was in a good mood and naturally wanted to teach his apprentice more skills.
Naturally, Lu Pingchuan would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Senior Kang Fu only raised one hand, and put the other hand behind his back, saying: "If you can hit me in the chest or make me take a step back, I will reward you with a jar of good wine, come on!"
Master's fine wines are all mouth-watering, so Lu Pingchuan rushed over with a loud drink.
After just a cup of tea, drinking, punching and kicking, Lu Pingchuan found that no matter how he attacked, the master's hand could always block his punches and kicks back like a wall, which made him anxious. .
Then I heard Senior Kang Fu shout loudly:
"Didn't you eat anything in the morning? Why don't you have any energy? Come again!"
Lu Pingchuan couldn't stand the excitement, and immediately roared, and attacked his master again with heavy fists.
…
Tang Ping also had a master, but in Fairy Guhuo's cave, Fairy Guhuo was pulled by Tang Ping to a secluded and spacious corner early in the morning, and she saw Tang Ping taking out a storage box. Bag, and then with a "boom", a ferocious skull as big as a painting boat appeared there. Even though Fairy Guhuo was well-informed, she was still surprised when she saw that thing, and she repeatedly asked her precious apprentice where it came from. Come.
Tang Ping told her master exactly how she got the big skull, and then asked Fairy Guhuo to tell her what kind of monster skull it was.
Fairy Guhuo looked confused after hearing this. She circled around the big skull, touched and patted it, but it seemed that the senior Danjie was also very interested in this thing. I'm curious, but I can't tell much about its origin.
However, after searching through hundreds of years of memories, Fairy Guhuo saw some clues from the big skull, and then she spoke softly to Tang Ping for a while, and then it was Tang Ping's turn to have a look on her face. Confused.
Finally, Fairy Guhuo took Tang Ping into the secret room in the cave.
Through this skull, something buried deep in the ages can be taught to this apprentice.
After all, this apprentice is absolutely unique and different!
…
At this time, outside the sect, in a deep underground cave under an inconspicuous mountain range, under the light, in front of the stone table, a young man with gray hair was sitting there with a smile on his face, listening to Yan Jing's words, While listening, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
It wasn't that the news that Yan Jing brought back made him happy, it was just that he was born with a smiling face.
The news that Yan Jing brought back did not surprise Wen Liang. That Han Tian would definitely not be that easy to manipulate. Even if he knew what he was going to do and had some handle on him, he would never be able to truly understand it without putting some thought into it. He took this person under his control.
After listening, Wen Liang still smiled and said:
"Well, as expected, he also had murderous intentions towards Wen Zhang. Well... However, Wen Zhang still can't die, at least not together, otherwise our affairs will be in trouble. In short... the thing is Just like Wen Zhang killed his cousin in order to seize the position of the future head of the family, in this way, although we did not completely follow Han Tian's wishes, we still helped him, even if he If he is dissatisfied, he should take action. If he is still not satisfied, then the next step will be to beat him. What he is worried about is nothing more than the woman being forced to marry into the Wen family and marry Wen Zhang. More than one, let him know when they meet next time. If the strength of a marriage between aristocratic families is greatly reduced even if it is not destroyed, then the other family in the marriage will definitely not be willing to continue this agreement. Naturally, Han Tian is worried. Things would never have happened! Although we can't uproot the Wen family, the Han family is much worse than the Wen family. If we are offended, the Han family will be severely damaged, unable to recover, or even die from now on. , I wonder what he, the son of the Han family, will think in his heart!"
After Yan Jing heard this, he was shocked. He originally thought that Senior Brother Wen wanted to kill the Wen family just to deceive Han Tian. After leading him to take action, he would be able to tie Han Tian to his side, but he did not expect that Senior Brother Wen would He really wanted to send someone to assassinate a young master of the Wen family. From this point of view, his previous estimate of the strength of Senior Brother Wen was still much smaller, and he couldn't help but become even more intimidated by Wen Liang.
He heard Wen Liang continue.
"Well, maybe I can tell him personally about this matter. In a few days, when the news of the death of the young master of the Wen family comes, something will happen in the sect. Then I will go back and take a look. Well, you should also go and take a look. There is a special person with important status coming to the Five Spirits Sect. If we can put that person to death in the future, the benefits to us... humph... will be too many!"
"yes!"
…
At this time, outside the more distant sect, this place has already gone far beyond the places around Wuling Sect that only Qi Refining disciples can go to. It can be regarded as the blurred boundary between the two major sects of Wuling Sect and Muyang Sect. In the area, it can even be said to be within the boundaries of Mu Yangzong. The fairy Lengyue whom Li Jian was looking forward to meeting stood with a sword. There were several corpses of monks lying at her feet. Each dead person only had their heart. There was a sword wound, and the bright red blood stains were expanding on the corpse's robe. The deaths of these people were all caused by Senior Leng. When she appeared unexpectedly, those people resisted for a while, except for the two pill-forming The monk barely struggled with her for a moment, but the rest of them were killed by Fairy Leng Yue almost instantly.
Seeing that none of the clothes of the deceased belonged to the Five Spirits Sect, she walked back and forth and checked them. After taking off a few jade medals from the waists of the corpses, she confirmed that there were no more living people before a sword light shot into the sky. rise.
In the air, another monk was looking down. The killing scene of Fairy Lengyue was also happening in several other places. The fighting was still fierce in some places, but he was not worried. This time he came out and brought his own. Everyone is a master in the sect, and they must be very confident in dealing with those guys.
The person in control of the situation in the sky is none other than Tang Ping's sixth grandfather, Tang Bonian.
Seeing Fairy Leng Yue flying over, Tang Bonian knew that Fairy Leng Yue was the fastest at doing things. Although the elder of Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley was usually humorous and free-spirited, even a little bohemian, Tang Bonian always had some appreciation in his heart for Fairy Lengyue, the sword cultivator of Mu Xiufeng, and even That’s respect!
"Fairy Leng, have you done all the cooking?" Tang Bonian asked.
"Senior Brother Tang, the place has been cleaned up. The people who came are not from Muyang Sect, but from Motianya. Some of them have been met before."
With that said, Fairy Lengyue handed over several jade tokens in her hand.
Tang Bonian took the jade tablets in his hand and looked at them carefully, with some doubts on his face, and said:
"That's strange. The people sent out from the sect encountered the same situation before. It seemed that only the people from Motianya were ambushing along the way, but Muyang Sect has been quiet. I really don't know what they want to do. , do you want to watch us complete this matter?"
Fairy Leng Yue said:
"So what, that person is coming soon. As long as we catch them and enter the territory of our Wuling Sect, we will have more arrangements. Even if Mu Yang Sect wants to do anything, it will be too late."
Tang Bonian nodded, but he felt that this matter would not be that simple. It was always wrong for Mu Yang Zong to lead without telling anyone. Maybe he was planning something secretly. He had to take care of himself after receiving that person all the way back to the sect. Just check it out.
"They are coming!" Fairy Leng Yue said, looking into the distant sky.
