Chapter 142 Everyone has a harvest, the sword demon comes out

The enlightenment tea goes into the stomach.

Ning Qi felt a warm current flowing through him, and a strange fragrance suddenly burst out, which was a hundred times stronger. Not only his body, but even his mind was immersed in the fragrance of this tea.

In an instant.

Rays of spiritual light gushed out like springs.

Ning Qi entered a state of 'pseudo-enlightenment'.

It certainly feels good.

But Ning Qi's expression was a little strange.

"Isn't this... my normal state when I am enlightened?"

This moment.

He understood the effect of the enlightenment tea, which was to allow the drinker's mental state to enter a special realm, thereby achieving a state of "pseudo-enlightenment", but the problem was that even if Ning Qi did not drink tea, he could enter this state at any time.

Ning Qi even often entered the state of 'enlightenment' that ordinary people dreamed of. Although it was not as easy as eating and drinking, as long as he was in a better state and his spiritual light accumulated too much, he would naturally have an 'enlightenment'.

Ning Qi shook his head and laughed.

He realized that the enlightenment tea in front of him was indeed of no use to him.

He had been mentally prepared, so he was not disappointed. He simply savored the taste of the Wudao Tea. Putting aside the effects of the Wudao Tea, it was itself a rare and exquisite tea.

"However, just because Enlightenment Tea is useless now doesn't mean it will be useless in the future. If we continue to cultivate Enlightenment Tea and continuously optimize it, perhaps the tea produced in the future can allow people to truly enter a state of enlightenment!"

Ning Qi had some expectations. If he could reach that point, it would be of some help to him.

As for whether it can succeed.

He has confidence in himself.

He has gradually cultivated some ordinary peach trees into rare exotic fruits. Naturally, there is hope that he can raise the level of Wudao tea trees to a higher level. He will continue researching in this direction in the future.

He sipped his tea leisurely and looked at his other fellow disciples with a smile.

For Ning Qi, this enlightenment tea was just for tasting, but for them it was a godsend.

now.

One by one, they entered a state of 'pseudo-enlightenment', countless flashes of inspiration emerged, and all the accumulation of daily knowledge burst out at this moment.

First it was Luo Wentian.

He has the fake Thunder Tiger Pill implanted by Ning Qi in his body. He has been carefully comprehending it on a daily basis and has already gained some insights and knowledge about the Way of Thunder. Now, under the effect of the Enlightenment Tea, he can control the fake pill almost instantly. In just a short moment, he has achieved what he would have achieved in a month.

Not only that, as his understanding of the fake elixir deepened, he also had different insights into the cultivation of the Gangyuan Realm, and even knew some of the secrets of the Yuandan Realm in advance.

He sat cross-legged, fearing that this opportunity would be wasted.

Then there is Jiang Baishan.

He was the first person among the crowd to set foot in the White Mist Realm, and without the help of the Ninggang Pill, he had been practicing for several years and with the help of Ning Qi, he had made rapid progress. Now, with the help of the Enlightenment Tea, he had a new understanding of the Jade Liquid Realm.

And there is Zhuang Chen.

He was born with sword bones and excellent comprehension. After being broken and then rebuilt, his talent has reached a new level. After these days of training, he is about to condense his internal energy to step into the inner Yuan realm. His foundation is even more solid than before. Now, there are flashes of inspiration in his mind, making him eager to solve some puzzled sword problems.

The rest of the people had different expressions.

All of them have gained a lot.

The fellow disciples were either sitting cross-legged, dancing with swords, or breaking through the air with their fists. They were all experiencing a great explosion of their inner strength under the effect of the Enlightenment Tea. Even if it was a state of 'pseudo-enlightenment', it was something they longed for.

Not everyone is a monster like Ning Qi.

This state lasted until two hours later.

The effect of the enlightenment tea dissipated.

Everyone shuddered almost at the same time and gradually woke up. There was reluctance and loss in their eyes. The state just now was so good that they couldn't help but want to stay in that wonderful state of enlightenment forever.

In just two hours, we gained a lot.

Some of the difficult problems that they had been unable to understand in the past were now solved and all the bottlenecks were broken. Maybe for the time being, the Enlightenment Tea did not improve their cultivation, but it had made their future much simpler and they could move forward easily.

It only takes a little time for your cultivation to experience explosive growth.

There was amazement in everyone's eyes.

"Xiao Jiu, this enlightenment tea is truly peerless!" Luo Wentian couldn't help but admire. His strength improvement was definitely the biggest among everyone. Therefore, he relied on the power of the fake pill and didn't need to spend time accumulating it. He felt that if he activated the fake pill again, he would definitely be one of the top strong men in the Yuandan realm.

"Yes, it's really hard to imagine. It would be great if I could drink enlightenment tea every day and enter that magical state of enlightenment all the time!" Ye Qinghe's eyes showed longing.

There was a look of aftertaste in everyone's eyes.

That state of near enlightenment is truly wonderful.

They shared their recent gains with joy and excitement.

Ning Qi just smiled slightly.

He broke Ye Qinghe's 'beautiful dream':

"Even if I give you Enlightenment Tea every day, it won't always have this effect."

Ye Qinghe was stunned:

"Does this enlightenment tea have drug resistance?"

This is indeed the case with some spiritual fruits; the more you eat them, the worse their effects become.

Jiang Baishan said thoughtfully:

"It shouldn't be. Xiaojiu said that we don't have enough experience."

"The reason why the enlightenment tea has such an outstanding effect this time is because we have accumulated it for a long time. If we drink the enlightenment tea again in a short period of time, even if it allows us to enter that magical enlightenment state again, the accumulation does not come out of thin air, and the effect will be weakened a lot."

Ning Qi smiled and nodded.

"That's right."

Why did he often read Taoist scriptures, classics, and miscellaneous studies?

He was accumulating his own foundation, which could provide nourishment for his enlightenment. However, his speed of accumulating foundation was obviously much faster than that of ordinary people, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

He spread his hands again and said:

"But even if you have accumulated enough, there is no more enlightenment tea to drink. There is only so much in the first year. You have to leave some for the master, otherwise we 'unfilial disciples' will be expelled from the sect by the master."

Everyone looked at the bare tip of the Wudao tea tree and burst into laughter.

"Store it all for a year, drink it next year, and leave it for you to remember."

Ning Qi smiled.

The output should be even greater next year, and we can share some of it with everyone then.

Jiang Baishan's eyes dimmed. Next year... he wouldn't be able to drink it.

Luo Wentian patted his shoulder and smiled.

Jiang Baishan looked at the encouragement in his senior brother's eyes, a smile gradually appeared on his lips, and then he nodded heavily. Everything was said without words.

"Fifth Brother, take care."

Ning Qi looked at the backs of everyone leaving and sighed in his heart.

He has done what he should do, and the rest is up to fate.

The next day.

Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua quietly went down the mountain without disturbing others, and only left a letter.

Arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Baishan turned his head to look at the Zhenwu Mountain that reached into the sky. He was so sad that he could not hold back his tears. He knelt on the ground facing the direction of Zhenwu Mountain and kowtowed three times respectfully. Lin Ruhua looked at him, sighed softly, and hugged him in her arms. After spending a few days together, she could fully understand Jiang Baishan's feelings.

"Let's go." Jiang Baishan said in a low voice.

He only hated that he was not strong enough.

If he could be as powerful as the Great Flame Martial Saint, he could deal with the other people from the Demon Sect and would not have to face such a choice. He had an unprecedented desire for strength.

A moment later.

A soft sigh was heard.

Taoist Longshan stepped out.

As a powerful person in the realm of heaven and man, how could Jiang Baishan leave without alarming him?

Looking at Jiang Baishan's back, his face was full of complicated emotions. If possible, how could he let his apprentice go away? After leaving this time, he didn't know if they would never see each other again.

Ning Qi also stepped out and stood side by side with Taoist Longshan, staring at the two figures in the distance.

He comforted:

"Master, don't worry. I gave Fifth Brother and the others some self-defense items. Their safety will not be a problem. It's just a short separation. We will meet again naturally after the matter is resolved."

Taoist Longshan nodded slowly, suppressing the sadness in his heart bit by bit.

Next.

We must find ways to overcome this crisis.

…

Next.

Ning Qi's life became peaceful and regular again, but the hidden threats from the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang made him more motivated.

But there is no point in being anxious. The most important thing is to work hard to make yourself stronger.

In addition to daily spiritual training.

Ning Qi was reading scriptures to gain enlightenment. From time to time, he would take out the silver pages left by Wu Jianghe to ponder and deduce the various possibilities of the Martial Saint's methods. On the one hand, it was to prepare for the future, and on the other hand, he wanted to understand the Martial Saint as much as possible, so that it would be easier to deal with him.

also.

He was perfecting various secret techniques to make his combat effectiveness as strong as possible.

He attaches great importance to the defensive secret technique of Qingxuan Body Protection.

When fighting against the enemy before, the gap was huge, and he was basically suppressed and killed instantly. The Qingxuan body protection technique only played a role when facing the thunder of the sky, but this time was different. If he really faced the Martial Saint, a secret body protection technique would be crucial, and it might be able to turn defeat into victory at the critical moment.

Ning Qi absorbed the essence from many classics in the Sword-Wen Pavilion, hoping to combine it with his own sword intent to take the Qingxuan Body Protection Technique to a higher level.

After all, among the many paths he has mastered now, swordsmanship is the strongest.

The sword can not only be used for killing, but if combined with other methods, it can also be used for defense.

Time goes by day by day.

Until this day.

Chen Xing returned from the Northern Barbarians. She brought a reply from the King of Zhenbei, and also brought a man, General Shenyu.

Zhenwu Hall.

Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian received the two men.

"Hello, Senior Chen Xing, General Shenyu." Luo Wentian was very polite.

One of these two people is a master of the Heavenly Man in the Zhenbei Palace, and the other is a strong man on the Heavenly Man List. If he was not the leader of the Zhenwu Sect now, he would not be qualified to stand here and talk to them.

But General Shenyu smiled and returned the greeting:

"Master Luo, you're welcome."

"I hope you are well, Master."

Taoist Longshan smiled slightly:

"General Shenyu is still as elegant as ever. I still remember the elegance of the general beheading the old demon Lin. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye."

He still remembered that two years ago, General Shenyu was high and mighty. Although he did not show any hostility towards the Zhenwu Sect, the status of both sides was not equal. But now when he came to Zhenwu Mountain again, General Shenyu became extremely polite.

He naturally knew why this was the case.

Tian Jian Zhenren’s reputation is too great now.

General Shenyu smiled bitterly and waved his hands:

"Master, please don't laugh at me. If Master Tianjian hadn't been unwilling to help, I wouldn't have had the chance to take the credit."

He originally thought that Master Tianjian was not as good as him, but facts proved time and time again that he was the frog in the well. Especially his conversation with General Yanwu made him realize the extraordinaryness of Master Tianjian. He now attaches great importance to the Zhenwu School.

Everyone was smiling.

Then Taoist Longshan looked at Chen Xing expectantly.

Chen Xing did not hesitate and took out a secret letter and said:

"Master, the prince already knows all the matters. He takes it very seriously and has already informed His Majesty. This time, General Shenyu and I came here for this matter."

Taoist Longshan was not surprised.

He knew it when he saw General Shenyu coming.

He opened the secret letter.

His frown gradually relaxed.

Ever since he learned that the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang were planning to help him become a Martial Saint, he had been feeling gloomy in his heart. But now, he finally felt a little relieved. At least the Zhenwu Sect didn't need to handle these things alone and had a strong backing.

Whether for Li Ling's sake or for the sake of the Great Yantian Empire, King Zhenbei will not sit idly by.

However, there have been some movements from the northern barbarians recently, and he needed to stay there, so he reported to the court.

The content of the letter mainly consists of two parts.

First, the Great Yan court will do its utmost to stop the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang from planning to achieve the goal of becoming a Martial Saint, and try its best to nip their plans in the bud.

The second is the safety of the Zhenwu Sect. General Shenyu was originally sent to guard Qingzhou some time ago. Now he has gone one step further and taken root in the city closest to the Zhenwu Sect. In this way, if anything happens, General Shenyu and his army of powerful men can rush over in the first place.

We must also be wary of some small moves by the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang, and our thinking should not be limited to the threats from the Martial Saint.

After reading the secret letter.

Taoist Longshan expressed his thanks:

"General Shenyu, I will have to trouble you a lot in the future."

General Shenyu's face straightened and he waved his hand:

"You are too polite, Master. The Demon Sect and Southern Border have evil ambitions and have formed an alliance to subvert our Great Yan. Naturally, I will not sit idly by. Master, rest assured, their plan will definitely not succeed so easily."

He remembered General Yanwu's previous instructions to make the Zhenwu Sect change its attitude and stand on the side of the court as much as possible. He originally thought it would be difficult and was prepared to slowly look for the opportunity. He did not expect that the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang would actually force the Zhenwu Sect over.

but.

He was also somewhat frightened by the plans of the Demon Sect and Southern Frontier to create a Martial Saint.

After all, General Yanwu's attitude at the time was unpredictable to him. He didn't know whether the Great Yan Wu Saint could stand up at the critical moment. Although he had already stood at the top of the Great Yan court, some of the most core secrets were still beyond his reach.

Just thinking about it.

Luo Wentian also finished reading the secret letter and asked:

"May I ask, General, if there is really a martial arts rebirth in the Demon Sect or Southern Border, how should our Zhenwu Sect respond?"

The meaning of this statement is self-evident.

Only a Martial Saint can deal with a Martial Saint.

The rest of the people will only have death if they face him.

General Shenyu was startled, but he knew that he could not show any fear.

He said calmly:

"If that day comes, there will naturally be someone to deal with it. Don't worry, since I am here to guard this place, I will advance and retreat together with the Zhenwu Sect no matter what, and I will not leave."

This is said with absolute certainty.

Luo Wentian apologized softly.

Taoist Longshan smiled and explained the matter. He said:

"If it's not a last resort, it's best not to do this. Instead of waiting for the Demon Sect and the Southern Frontier Martial Arts School to attack us after their birthdays, it's better to kill them at the source. I'm sure the general knows that my Zhenwu Sect offended Southern Frontier because of the Blood King Gu incident, so we can use this as a starting point for investigation."

Regardless of whether the Great Yan Wusheng would take action or not, he could not gamble the safety of the entire Zhenwu sect on whether the Great Yan Wusheng could block the attacks of the other two Wushengs at the critical moment.

Rather than this, it would be better if the two Martial Saints were not born.

General Shenyu nodded seriously:

"Don't worry, Master. The imperial court has already taken action on this matter. There are spies in all thirteen states who have begun to secretly investigate. No matter how deep the people in Southern Xinjiang hide, they can't hide it completely. Those who dare to do such dirty things in our Great Yan land must be severely punished!"

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

Then he said:

"As for the secret method of the Demon Sect to achieve Martial Saint, we have already figured it out. Perhaps it is related to the inner elixir of exotic beasts. Southern Xinjiang is backed by the Hundred Thousand Mountains and is very familiar with the situation there. It is much easier to obtain the inner elixir of exotic beasts. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why the two sides have formed an alliance."

There was a strange look in Longshan Taoist's eyes.

The Great Yan imperial court is still investigating southern Xinjiang, but the news of the Demon Sect's secret method of achieving the Martial Saint was obtained so quickly, which means that there are quite a few spies from the imperial court in the Demon Sect.

So many years of fighting.

I am afraid that mutual infiltration between Da Yan and the Demon Sect is inevitable.

Thinking of this, Taoist Longshan became even more cautious. He knew that he could not trust the imperial court 100%, otherwise he would not know when he would be betrayed by the traitors in the Demon Sect.

The four of them discussed many details.

They are all about the various actions to be taken next, which can be regarded as mutual communication.

Watched Chen Xing and General Shenyu leave.

Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian both breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately told Ning Qi the news.

Ning Qi also felt a little more relaxed.

With Da Yan's help, at least the pressure is not that great.

Even if we cannot completely prevent the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang from giving birth to a Martial Saint, we can at least greatly delay their steps and buy ourselves enough time. If we cannot even gain half a year, then the Great Yan court is too useless.

Ning Qi didn't think that the Great Yan court was only capable of this. Since they were willing to intervene, he might not even have to take action in the end.

But he will not take chances and pin his hopes on others.

The following days.

Ning Qi continued to practice.

The waves caused by Tian Jian Zhenren's killing of Wen Xin Jian were gradually dissipating. The martial world has never lacked new things, and Ning Qi was happy about it. It was not a good thing to focus too much attention on Tian Jian Zhenren.

But soon.

One incident once again shocked the world and attracted a lot of attention.

The Sword Demon, ranked third on the Heavenly List, has come out!
