Ji Qingling never imagined that those long years of suffering would only last half a year. Could she be dreaming?
She suddenly remembered something and asked about her cultivation level, "What about my cultivation level?"
"Twelve levels of Qi refining." Ji Qingyuan answered her.
The smile on Ji Qingling's face grew bigger and bigger, and he even felt that the suffering he suffered that day didn't seem too difficult.
Ji Hui guessed what she was thinking, "If I gave you another half year and asked you to stay in that ant nest for half a year, would you be willing to use your head to make a nest for those fire ant babies?"
Thinking about it, he might as well forget it, although Ji Qingling felt that hearing those clumps of fire ants was not as scary as before.
Is it fighting fire with fire?
Too many things have happened in the past six months. Ji Qingyuan gave her a hard education about Ji Qingling going to mine ore alone.
It was thanks to Toothless that day that he waited in the house for who knows how many days and did not wait for Ji Qingling to come back.
The beast ran to Ji Hui alone, not to ask for food, but to drag Ji Hui to Ji Qingling's residence. Only then did Ji Hui gradually realize that something was wrong.
Ji Hui and Yawu stayed at Ji Qingling's residence for a whole day, and immediately went to find Ji Qingyuan without waiting for anyone.
Ji Qingling was not the kind of person who would leave Toothless in the house for a whole day and not come back.
At first, two people and one beast were searching within the sect, and then went to the task hall to ask the deacon disciples. Based on the tasks issued by Ji Qingling, they guessed that she might have gone mining alone.
They went to find Ji Zuo, and many other disciples who had friendship with Ji Qingling went out to look for him.
In an abandoned mine they found Zhou Yanyun's decomposed body and traces of a fight.
Ji Zuo immediately reported the matter to Taiyi Sect. As the unofficial disciple of Taoist Chongtai, the Deacon Hall of the Inner Sect led people to search the surrounding area.
Ji Qingyuan saw the traces left after the talismans were activated. In addition to the explosive talismans, there were other types of talismans. He believed that Ji Qingling had appeared here.
However, the deacon disciples of the inner sect failed to find any clues in the end, and finally discovered that Sun Xiang, another disciple in the same courtyard, was also missing.
Three people in the same hospital, one dead and two missing!
If it weren't for the four members of Ji Qingling's family leaving each other's soul marks, everyone would have thought she was dead.
A month later, the disciples of the Deacon Hall gave up the search. There were so many outer disciples that people disappeared from time to time.
If there wasn't one person who was the unofficial direct disciple of Dao Lord Yuanying, they would have given up long ago.
Ji Zuo was helpless. Taojun Zhongtai went out and did not return. He could only find his familiar senior brothers for help, and Ji Qingwan also went to the task hall to announce the task.
From that day on, Ji Qingyuan and Ji Hui never gave up searching, and Zhou Yan and Guan Yunchao also spent a lot of time helping.
During this period, Ji Hui discovered that Toothless was missing, but she couldn't care about that at this time.
Now that I think about it, Toothless went out to look for Ji Qingling. I don't know what he encountered outside. After advancing to the second level, he awakened his flying skills in advance, and the fire attribute attack spell of the pill he had eaten before was also very powerful.
That day, Toothless suddenly returned to Taiyimen with an injury. After finally finding Ji Hui, he fainted. Thinking that Ji Hui might have found a clue, Han Guangbi helped find Master Mingchang, revived Toothless, and followed him all the way to the ant nest.
But at that time, the queen ant also realized that something was wrong and had already dragged Ji Qingling away.
When everyone found Ji Qingling after a lot of trouble, she had been completely paralyzed by the queen ant.
Fortunately, Master Mingchang was there at the time, otherwise the fourth-order fire ant queen would have been a big trouble for them.
Ji Hui was injured during this period, and it was thanks to Master Mingchang that he treated her injury.
Ji Qingling also told the three of them about Zhou Yanyun's seizure of Sun Xiang's body, but in the end Zhou Yanyun was poisoned, and it is not known whether the seizure was successful.
Anyway, Sun Xiang was gone, and so was Zhou Yanyun's storage bag.
After Ji Qingling returned to Taiyi Sect, the entire Taiyi Sect knew that a disciple in the outer sect had been kidnapped by the fourth-order fire ant queen.
After returning home in half a year, my cultivation level improved from the tenth level of Qi refining to the twelfth level of Qi refining.
Many people speculated that she had been taken away from her. In fact, she would not have been able to advance so quickly after being taken away from her.
Someone from the inner sect came to ask her about what had happened in the past six months.
Ji Qingling knew the reason, but couldn't say it. He was a humanoid cultivation futon? Have you been providing spiritual energy to the queen ant?
Can you tell me? Aren't you looking for death?
She could only pick out some things to say. The ant poison made her often sleepy and unable to use spiritual energy spells. As for the speed of her cultivation, she didn't know why.
…
No matter how outrageous the rumors outside were, Ji Qingling still returned to his original days of practicing cultivation, drawing talismans, and practicing martial arts.
Although the speed of cultivation has returned to the past, the previous rapid advancement made the realm unstable. Ji Qingling spent some time in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.

Zhou Yan walked to the door of her courtyard. She paused for a moment. There was someone inside.
Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the courtyard door and Master Yunzhi was waiting for her in the courtyard holding a bamboo cup.
"Real person."
"Well, you're back?"
Master Yun Zhi put down the cup and said, "You have been a little slack in your practice recently."
"yes."
"I know that your friend disappeared before, and you have been helping to search for it. Now that people have found you, you are still so unwilling to make progress. Should you consider practicing hard in seclusion? You must know that your friend is now at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. We are about to build the foundation. Although we can’t catch up, we can’t be too far behind.”
Alas, Zhou Yan feels that the current state of cultivation and speed are very good, and there is really no need for retreat.
"Real person..."
Master Yun Zhi waved his hand, "Practice well and don't feel sorry for your mother. I will be in retreat recently. I hope you will make progress in your practice when I come out."
After Master Yun Zhi left, Zhou Yan sat in the yard for a while and then ran out. She wanted to find Ji Qingling. Whenever she had any troubles, she would feel better if she talked to someone. This was what Ji Qingling taught her.
Ji Qingling watched Zhou Yan's small mouth keep talking, and she regretted saying something like this when she was unhappy in her heart.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, but if you are the one being talked to, you will feel that this sentence is really wrong.
"I know Master Yun Zhi is doing it for my own good, but he always says that my mother died for me, my father died for me, and I don't want to let them down.
Just like you said, my parents definitely didn’t save me just because they wanted me to succeed in cultivation in the future. They wanted me to live a free and happy life in this world and see the beautiful scenery in this world.
You also know that my cultivation level is not bad, but he always compares me with you, which makes me very unhappy.
Sometimes I want to make it clear to Master Yun Zhi, but I feel that he has good intentions for me and speaking out would hurt his heart. "
Ji Qingling stopped Zhou Yan and said, "I think you can give it a try and make it clear to him. If this continues, this matter will become your inner demon. How will you build the foundation then?"
After Ji Qingling said this, he was stunned.
