late at night.
Yin Xueze suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the knocking on the door outside stopped.
He sat up, straightened his clothes, and asked, "Who is it?"
Jing Yingrong: "It's me."
"……Come in."
Yin Xueze opened the room's restrictions.
Jing Yingrong pushed the door open, turned around and closed the door properly.
Yin Xueze sat cross-legged on the bed, with his back straight and his face expressionless, and asked: "What's the matter?"
Jing Yingrong's eyes fell on his arm and said: "Your cold poison is about to take effect."
She finished speaking, as if to prove that what she said was true, a layer of light black ice crystals suddenly formed on Yin Xueze's fingertips.
The ice crystals spread quickly, wrapping Yin Xueze's palms in a blink of an eye, and were still extending upwards.
Yin Xueze lowered his eyes and glanced down. His expression was calm, as if he was used to it.
The next moment, his arms ignited with black flames. The ice crystals melted and disappeared in the flames, but the clothes he was wearing remained intact.
Yin Xueze raised his eyelids, stared at the reflection in the mirror from bottom to top, and said, "You know a lot."
Jing Yingrong said: "Well, I heard Wan Chengxuan say something about it."
Yin Xueze's eyes flashed: "You once said that you saw him create the "Mingyan Shenwu Baolu", and Dean Song told me that this technique was created by Dean Wan eight hundred years ago, and you are only in the late stage of foundation building. How can one have a lifespan of eight hundred years with his cultivation level?"
Jing Yingrong: "Cultivation is fake, you know."
Yin Xueze did not speak, which was indeed his acquiescence.
Jing Yingrong: "Wan Chengxuan once said that this technique has made rapid progress in practice and is quite powerful, but it has one drawback -"
"It seems you know everything, so what do you want to say to me?" Yin Xueze directly interrupted Jing Yingrong's words.
Jing Yingrong said: "For some reason, there is a ray of ice soul in your body, which makes practicing this method twice the result with half the effort, but also makes the disadvantages worse. In the early stage, you can still use the technique to suppress it. The longer you practice, the higher your level, the better you will be. The pain is unbearable until the cultivation backfires and the Taoist heart collapses."
There was no look of surprise or fear on Yin Xueze's face. He was silent for a long time and said: "You can even tell that I have an ice soul, which shows that you have a good background. In this case, why did you agree to worship at Taichu Temple?"
Jing Yingrong: "I don't reject their kind suggestions."
"I don't understand. Forget it, it's up to you." Yin Xueze said bluntly.
He paused and said: "I was abandoned in the ancient snowfield when I was a child. By accident, the divine power of ice soul deep in the snowfield entered my body, and I planted a ray of ice soul. Later, I was picked up by Dean Song and brought with me Go back to Zhenwuyuan."
Jing Yingrong: "He wants you to practice Baolu?"
Yin Xueze: "Not bad."
"You know the consequences, why did you agree?"
"Repay the favor."
Jing Yingrong tilted her head: "I don't understand."
Yin Xueze: "..."
He took a deep breath, seemed to be trying his best to endure it, and said as patiently as possible: "He hopes that I will grow up as soon as possible, promote the reputation of the Zhenwu Academy, and restore the declining trend of the Zhenwu Academy. He also hopes that I will become a powerful fighter of the Zhenwu Academy in the future. and guards. So he gave me the treasure record and also told me what would happen to me after practicing the treasure record."
Jing Yingrong seemed to have some realization: "In order to repay his kindness of rescuing and adopting me, you are willing to practice this method."
Yin Xueze: "That's right."
Jing Yingrong: "Why do you want to worship Taichu Temple?"
Yin Xueze: "Dean Song said that if I can worship Taichu Guan, I may be able to combine it with the techniques of Taichu Guan and understand ways to alleviate or completely suppress the shortcomings of Baolu."
Jing Yingrong looked directly at him steadily.
Yin Xueze: "What?"
Jing Yingrong lowered her eyelashes, then raised them again, saying, "If you don't have that ray of ice soul, this method is feasible. But if you do, it's not feasible."
Yin Xueze narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you are so sure, then you must know the Taichu Guan technique very well."
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
The look in Yin Xueze's eyes was dark and unclear.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "You are not looking for me just to talk about this. So, do you have a solution?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yes, yes."
Yin Xueze: "If you have any questions, just tell me."
Jing Yingrong said calmly: "Find someone whose skills and physique are complementary to yours, and practice together with them."
"Complementary person?" Yin Xueze was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something and asked: "The Great Sun Xuanyang Manual, the body has fire veins, like this?"
Jing Yingrong nodded: "If you are talking about the core skills of the Di Rong clan, it is just right. Do you know such a candidate?"
Yin Xueze did not answer, showing an indescribable expression.
"I understand, thank you." He said.
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
She added: "Do you still want to worship Taichu Guan?"
Yin Xueze nodded, "It is harmless to worship Taichu Temple, and it does not conflict with staying in Zhenwu Academy in the future."
He looked at Jing Yingrong: "If you have nothing else, please come back."
"good."
Jing Yingrong opened the door and left.
After closing the door, Yin Xueze frowned.
A cluster of ice crystals condensed on his fingertips again, with flocculent black filaments growing inside the ice crystals, making the ice crystals appear light black in color.
The black flames burned away the ice crystals before they could reach his shoulders.
A faint pain flashed across Yin Xueze's eyes.
He lay down again, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and curled up into a ball on the bed.
…
The next day, everyone from the Zhenwu Academy went to the Changhuan Hotel to sign up.
When signing up, Jing Yingrong got a square token. There are no complicated patterns on the token, only a circle pattern is engraved on it, and the word "Taichu" is written on the back.
Jing Yingrong stared at the circle on the token and was lost in thought. Tang Zhile next to her touched her with his shoulder and said, "Don't be in a daze. The people behind are urging you to put the mark of your spiritual consciousness into it."
Jing Yingrong nodded, followed by imprinting the divine mark on the token, and then handed the token back.
After registering and coming out of the hotel, Tang Zhile said: "Don't leave the city too far, everyone. The results should be out soon. At that time, the spirit sparrow messenger will deliver the tokens to everyone."
Yin Xueze turned around and left without saying a word. Tang Zhile quickly asked, "Hey, Brother Yin, where are you going?"
"Go back to the inn."
I don't know who said: "Why are you going back? Come play with us, Brother Yin."
"Not going."
After Yin Xueze left, the male cultivators discussed where to go for fun, while the female cultivators wanted to go shopping.
"I heard that there is an expo garden in Changhuan Mansion, where many rare treasures are on display. Why don't we go there and have a look."
The female nuns gathered together to discuss, and one of them said to Jing Yingrong: "Fellow Daoist Jing, please come with us."
The male cultivators all expressed their dissatisfaction: "What is there to do in the Expo Garden? It's probably all phantoms. It's better to go to the Babao Tower with us. I heard there are all kinds of fun things there."
A group of people started arguing over the question of where Jing Yingrong should go, and the scene was lively for a while.
