Yuan Qing looked at the girl who looked like a fairy in the water in front of him. Strong joy and impulse surged in his heart. The sword energy in his body surged, the Taoist robe automatically moved without wind, and a stream of hot air rushed straight to his head.
He smiled at first, and then picked up Zhu Ling'er and spun her around in circles.
Zhu Ling'er exclaimed, her hand naturally blocking Yuan Qing's neck, her face full of joy.
Everyone around him only said "Look at no evil", and Xu Jingtian also coughed lightly.
After a few rounds, Yuan Qing put her down. Zhu Ling'er's face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of the handsome young man beside her. Yuan Qing was slightly panting in excitement, and his eyes stayed on Zhu Ling'er and could not move away.
The disciples said a few more words of congratulations and then left. Xu Jingtian said at this time: "Using the heaven and earth as spiritual points, the vitality washes the marrow valve body and builds a successful foundation. Look at my Xuanyuan, which I have not seen for hundreds of years. Xu is truly lucky to be able to see this extraordinary talent in person. Junior sister, please prepare as soon as possible and follow me to Shangzong when everything is ready."
The two people who were immersed in the small world came to their senses when they heard these words. Zhu Ling'er asked: "Senior Brother Xu, can this matter be slowed down? I have just advanced at the moment, and my realm is unstable..."
Xu Jingtian interrupted her before she could finish her words: "Junior Sister Zhu, I know what you mean, but the earlier this trip is, the more beneficial it will be to you. Junior Brother Tian will return to the Shangzong in half a year, so you can go with him then. "At the end of the sentence, his tone was unmistakable, with a hint of command.
After hearing this, Zhu Ling'er could only reply: "Yes, Senior Brother Xu."
Xu Jingtian smiled when he heard Zhu Ling'er's reply, and returned to the spring breeze-like Senior Brother Xu and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you two anymore." After saying that, he turned into a blue rainbow and left through the sky.
At this time, there was no one around, but Yuan Qing's face turned red. He took a small step back and said, "Ling'er, congratulations on your advancement to Foundation Establishment."
Zhu Ling'er looked at Yuan Qing who looked slightly embarrassed in front of her, covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she took a step forward, put her hands around his waist, and gently leaned her head on the young man's chest, and heard the strong and rapid heartbeat clearly.
Yuan Qing's blood suddenly surged, his face turned red, his ears became red, his breathing became rapid, and his limbs became stiff, stuck in place like a piece of wood.
Within a moment, Yuan Qing's limbs softened, and he reached out to hold Zhu Ling'er in his arms. His breathing gradually became smoother, and his eyes were full of tenderness that would melt people.
At this moment, it doesn't matter that his life has changed and the world has changed. At this moment, it no longer matters whether we are a couple of gods and lovers enjoying themselves in the world or living the rest of our lives in an ordinary way. At this moment, there is only each other's unspoken feelings. At this moment, there was only this pair of beautiful people embracing each other in the world.
After a long time, Zhu Ling'er gently broke away from Yuan Qing's arms: "Why, hugging this fairy for so long is not enough? Huh, you are such a frivolous person."
Yuan Qing touched his nose, lowered his head and smiled without saying anything.
Seeing Yuan Qing's stupid look, Zhu Ling'er smiled, turned around and walked towards the water pool.
Yuan Qing didn't know why, so he just followed silently. As they walked, the two of them walked side by side. Yuan Qing couldn't help but ask: "Ling'er, just now you told Senior Brother Xu that your realm was unstable and you still needed to retreat. You..."
"I just made a random excuse. I filled my body with the vitality of heaven and earth to build the foundation, so there is no way my state is unstable." Zhu Ling'er interrupted before Yuan Qing could finish.
"What's the difference after building the foundation?" Yuan Qing asked curiously.
Zhu Ling'er smiled when she heard this and said softly: "You remember what Senior Brother Tian said about the difference between immortals and mortals, just like the chasm between heaven and earth. The monks in the Qi Refining Stage have just stepped onto the path of immortality, while the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage have truly entered the Immortal Gate. Hearing and hearing are completely two worlds.”
Seeing that Yuan Qing was deep in thought, Zhu Ling'er raised her hand slightly, and a large area of tiny water droplets suddenly appeared in front of her. In a blink of an eye, she turned into various weapons, birds, beasts, insects, and fish. With a tap of her fingers, they gathered together to generate thunder, and with a wave of her sleeves, they dispersed into mist. The wind moistens the green bamboos on the side.
Yuan Qing looked at the miraculous scene in front of him, his heart was shaken, and he was filled with fighting spirit.
He looked at Zhu Ling'er with burning eyes and said, "Ling'er, can you let me let go and fight?"
Zhu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Okay, let me see the power of Yuanda Sword Immortal with all his strength."
Still at the edge of the pool, Yuan Qing said in a deep voice "Be careful", then slashed down with his sword, and a silver sword energy surged out.
With just a thought in Zhu Ling'er's mind, a layer of aqua-blue light appeared around her body, and the sword energy struck it like a mud cow entering the sea, leaving only a few ripples.
Seeing this, Yuan Qing swung his sword horizontally, and the sword wind swept away it. Countless sword energy hit the light curtain like rain hitting banana trees. After the sword wind passed, the light curtain remained standing.
At this time, Zhu Ling'er said with a smile: "Is Yuanda Sword Immortal only capable of this?" As he spoke, he tapped his fingers, and a ball of water wrapped with arcs appeared out of thin air. In a blink of an eye, he turned one into five, and after a slight pause, he formed a line and headed towards Yuan. The Qing struck.
Yuan Qing looked solemn, held his breath and concentrated, stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand, pointed them together as a sword, and pointed towards the surging mine.
I saw the Lingmu Sword floating in the air, wrapped in a layer of silver light. The silver light suddenly expanded into a sword shadow that was about ten feet long. As the sword pointed a little, it shot through the air like a bolt of lightning.
I heard bursts of thunder, and the sword shadow was like a broken bamboo, cutting through five water mines in a row. The scattered water droplets were swept up by the sword energy, but the sword shadow also dissipated, leaving only a thin layer of silver glow still wrapped around it. On the spirit wood sword.
Then, the wooden sword circled and slashed at the water curtain below. The water curtain shook but eventually stabilized. Instead, two rope-like streams of water separated and trapped the wooden sword.
At this time, Yuan Qing's body was completely empty of sword energy. While he was adjusting his breath, a blue ribbon, like a poisonous snake, instantly tied him up and fell to the ground.
Zhu Ling'er removed the water curtain, picked up the Lingmu Sword, walked up to Yuan Qing, put the sword on his shoulder, and said condescendingly: "How about it, do you want to admit defeat?"
"Fairy Zhu is in the sky and on the earth. She has immeasurable magical powers and unparalleled magic power. I'm going to give up." Yuan Qing shouted helplessly.
After the two of them collected their magic weapons, Yuan Qing asked: "Ling'er, how much power did you use just now?"
Zhu Ling'er thought for a while, first stretched out three fingers, and then changed to one.
"What does this mean?" Yuan Qing asked in confusion.
"If we look at the situation just now, I did use three successful powers; but if I had one or even several top-grade magic weapons in my hand, my strength would have more than doubled. Only monks above the foundation-building stage can use top-grade magic weapons. If the power is exerted to the extreme, judging from this, I’m afraid it’s less than 10%.”
After hearing this, Yuan Qing sighed that the gap was as big as clouds and mud. Zhu Ling'er comforted him and said: "You haven't refined the twelve sword energies yet, and the magic weapon in your hand is no more than low-grade. I believe that when your sword energy is perfected, you will be equipped with a high-quality sword." The magical weapon will have a dramatic change in strength, not to mention after the foundation is established. Why should you be depressed."
Yuan Qing shook his head: "The "Taibai Sword Sutra" is different. I have a feeling that when my sword energy is perfected, it will be the time to form the embryo and build the foundation. At this moment, the sword energy in my body has long been filled, but it has not yet appeared. Twelve sword qi are refined; in the sea of consciousness, only a few bits of the true meaning of the four sword techniques of 'dynamic', 'still', 'hard' and 'soft' remain, but they are extremely tough and the origin of the sword's will cannot be perfected. Alas, I don't know how long it will take He Yue can achieve great success, it is impossible to say that he can only rely on the 'Condensing Spirit Pool' and the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Are you interested in participating in the next competition?"
Yuan Qing looked at her and said softly: "You will go to Shangzong to practice in half a year. I can't fall behind too much. I think that with my current strength, it won't be a big problem to win the first place. In this competition Natural imperative.”
Zhu Ling'er couldn't help but frown when she thought about the impending separation, but then she relaxed and Zhanyan said to Yuan Qing: "You just lost, you should be punished."
Yuan Qing smiled and replied: "I am not as good as others, so I am willing to accept the punishment, act like a cow and a horse, and let me do whatever I want."
Zhu Ling'er smiled slyly: "Then I'll punish you to accompany this fairy on a trip to the mountains and rivers. During this period, you can make tea and cook food, squeeze your shoulders and beat your legs without any neglect. It will last for half a year. Are you willing?"
Yuan Qing's heart was full of warmth at this moment. He gently took Zhu Ling'er's hand and looked directly into his eyes. There was countless tenderness in his eyes: "That's what you wish for!"
The next six months can be said to be the most leisurely days since Yuan Qing entered the mountains. Every day, he accompanied Zhu Ling'er to visit mountains and rivers, explore the mountains and explore the wonders. The two of them visited almost all of Nuo Da's back mountains.
I once watched the sunrise over the forest and sea, and cooked tea under the waterfall; I once entered a cave and marveled at the stalactites in the forest; I also went down to the deep pool to search for rare treasures, but only to be drowned; I cut stones to play chess, but I had no choice but to play chess without knowing the rules; Carving bamboo as a utensil, one person dances the sword and the other plays the flute.
The two of them even encountered a three-foot-long green lin snake that swooped at them with a scarlet snake message coming from its mouth, but it turned into pieces of meat on the grill and soup in the stone pot that night.
Half a year later, Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er stood side by side in a courtyard in the back mountain, while Xu Jingtian was explaining something to Tian Yi on the side.
After a while, Tian Yi came over with a smile on his face and said: "Junior sister Zhu, I'm going to set off soon." He raised his hand and released a blue spirit boat about a foot in size. The spirit boat was good at catching the wind, and soon It became the size of two feet.
Zhu Ling'er bowed and saluted Xu Jingtian: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, for taking care of me for many years. Ling'er will keep it in my heart."
Xu Jingtian returned the courtesy: "Junior sister, there is no need to be polite. I will see you again in the sect."
Then Zhu Ling'er said to Tian Yi: "Senior Brother Tian, let's go now." After saying that, the two of them jumped onto the spirit boat.
Yuan Qing's eyes followed Zhu Ling'er all the way. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, saying nothing. The green light of the spirit boat turned into a blue rainbow and disappeared from the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Yuan Qing retract his gaze, cupped his hands towards Xu Jingtian and said, "If you make Senior Brother Xu laugh, if there is nothing else, Yuan Qing will leave now."
Xu Jingtian said gently: "You can go on your own."
Yuan Qing bowed and turned around to leave. Xu Jingtian looked at his back with a look of surprise in his eyes.
After returning to Qingyuanju, Yuanqing couldn't help but fall into memories, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. Then he collected his mind, breathed in and out, and sank into deep concentration.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the competition. It's still Tai Chi Square, with five people seated and two red lists. The difference is that there are twenty-four people participating in this competition, including many "veterans" left over from the previous competition, and Yuan Qing's name is also on the list.
The contestants had already drawn lots and decided on their opponents a day before. Due to the large number of people, the first round of competition was held over two days.
Yuan Qing drew "A Seven" and was placed in the first game of the next day. His opponent was the tall and thin young man named Zhang Rui who went into the mountain together.
Although there was no game, he still came to watch the game early. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles.
As soon as noon arrived, Jiang Shangzhen walked onto the ring wearing a moon-white Taoist robe. All the disciples called him "Senior Brother Jiang", and Jiang Shangzhen returned the favor with clasped fists.
"This is the first time that Jiang has served as the arbitrator of the competition. If there is any oversight, please let me know. The rules of the competition remain the same. It is a competition between the same disciplines. It only determines the outcome, not life or death. One party leaves the stage or admits defeat. Then the competition ends, and all the juniors can show off their magical powers. Enough chatter, the competition begins. The first game, Ren Hai vs. Qian Jie."
