Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male protagon...
Chapter 51: Silk rubbing glass rod
Reviving evil things?
Ning Mingmei is keen on capturing key words. But he just frowned and said, "Where did you get the blueprint of this evil thing?"
Just like he knew why a mere gooseneck flask was regarded as an evil thing by people in this world.
"Back then, the relics of Spark Island were all burned in the human world and the fairy world. Those who were related to it were slaughtered, and those who were not related to it were in danger. Even the demon world and the devil world... But you forgot that among the five worlds, there is another world, the ghost world." Gui Ruoxue smiled mysteriously, "I found its dilapidated blueprints in a place in the ghost world."
At a time when the situation was tense, Ning Mingmei actually had the leisure to say to the system: "It's really embarrassing to see him proudly talking about a gooseneck flask as something so awesome in front of me."
Seeing Ning Mingmei remained silent, Gui Ruoxue continued, "But I didn't expect that you also knew this kind of thing. It seems that it is indeed as the rumors say. The leaders of the Immortal Dao, Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower, hate Xinghuo Island on the surface, but their private relationship is ambiguous."
When he was the second master of Minghua Valley, he once heard of a secret. When the evil concubine led the country astray, the disciples of Spark Island, who had disappeared, experienced a revival.
That incident involved a power grab, which wore out the last of the human world's patience with Spark Island. All those who were related to the Demon Concubine and the Starfire Island techniques she practiced were gathered together and slaughtered. No matter old or young.
But there is still a rumor that among the people there were some children who were too young to remember anything during the purge.
They would have been wiped out if they had lost their parents.
But some people saw that they were of extraordinary character and felt sorry for them, so they secretly let those children who had no memory go.
In short, after a group of forgetful children are scattered across the world, few of them can survive on their own. This completes the mission.
Even a great elder of Minghua Valley secretly said that the owner of Yanyun Tower at that time couldn't bear it and brought back several orphans from those children.
In addition, the former Sword-wielding Elder of the Qingji Sect also intervened in the purge.
Ning Mingmei said: "Really? This Lord..."
In a flash, Gui Ruoxue had already taken action!
Minghua Valley is famous for its medicine and poison, and the weapons used for attack are mostly pens, silk threads for taking pulses, and silver needles.
The magic weapon that Gui Ruoxue is proficient in is the silver needle.
There were a total of 7749 silver needles here, shining with cold light. They were so light and small that they were almost invisible. They formed a formation and surrounded Ning Mingmei to launch an attack.
It can be seen that Gui Ruoxue must have learned the art of deploying troops, as the attacking methods of these silver needles are treacherous and have a very organized formation.
Gui Ruoxue stood under the statue, using all her consciousness to control the silver needles, her eyes looking at Ning Mingmei with cold and focused attention.
This was a killer move he designed himself.
Even a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage would not be able to withstand this attack if he was caught off guard!
Sure enough, Ning Mingmei could only use all his internal energy to create a protective shield to block the silver needles. The silver needles were like flowers scattered from heaven, penetrating every hole and changing in a myriad of ways at any time according to his movements.
The silver needles were poisoned. If he was stabbed by one of them, he would be at the mercy of others.
But if the formation is not broken, it is only a matter of time before the trapped people run out of energy.
There was just one thing that surprised Gui Ruoxue: he already had an idea of Ning Mingmei's cultivation level. But Ning Mingmei's Qi consumption was slower than he had imagined.
Much slower.
It was as if he knew some method to set up a chi shield and reduce chi consumption.
This is completely different from the Ning Mingmei in the rumors.
But this was not enough to change the situation. Gui Ruoxue said, "Master Ning Feng, we could have both won. I trapped you here for a few days, and I went to deliver medicine to your disciples. Then I left, and you left later. This is all I want. Why should we fight to the death?"
But Ning Mingmei just looked at him calmly, as if he had everything planned out.
This made Gui Ruoxue frown a little, and she felt that the ruthless swordsman was bluffing.
As we all know, those who practice the ruthless way are like this. They look like their father just died all year round.
Ning Mingmei said: "Gui Ruoxue, do you know what my spiritual roots are?"
Gui Ruoxue said: "Master Ning Feng has a mutated thunder spirit root, everyone knows it."
He said this, but he didn't pay attention to the control of the silver needle.
There are five basic spiritual roots in the world: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Among them, the golden spiritual root can mutate into the thunder spiritual root. Water spiritual roots can mutate into ice spiritual roots. Fire spiritual roots can mutate into wind spiritual roots.
Suddenly, something flashed in Ning Mingmei's sleeve - it was something he cut off from the clothes on his body.
Ning Mingmei asked again: "Gui Ruoxue, do you know what this thing I sacrificed is?"
silk.
A piece of ordinary silk.
And it was silk cut from the sleeves.
Gui Ruoxue frowned: "What do you mean?"
Why did you suddenly become gay in front of him?
Ning Mingmei said nothing and just looked at the gooseneck flask.
——Since glass products already exist in this world. Then lend it to me!
Silk whistled out. Gui Ruoxue saw clearly that it was just an ordinary piece of silk, so she only pulled out one silver needle to chase it, while the rest of the silver needles still surrounded Ning Mingmei.
After all, he had never heard that a sleeve that could be easily cut open could be used as a weapon.
But the next moment, he heard a whistling sound behind him.
The glass gooseneck flask in the statue's hand moved!
"Come here!" Ning Mingmei shouted.
The town of Wangyue was dry at night, and the gooseneck flask was dry as well, with no liquid left in it. In an instant, the gooseneck flask and the silk met and were suspended above forty-nine light silver needles.
Gui Ruoxue missed and failed to catch the gooseneck flask within the range of her true qi - just by a little bit. He paid some attention to praise: "This thing runs really fast."
Ning Mingmei: "Thank you! This is the optimal flying path planning for the Flying Curse."
Gui Ruoxue was very suspicious - for example, at this moment, he suspected that this was a trick Ning Mingmei used to deceive him, and its real purpose was to make him remove the silver needle so that Ning Mingmei could find a breakthrough.
But he was seriously injured at the moment, and using the silver needle formation was his best way to trap Ning Mingmei.
Therefore, he missed the opportunity.
Ordinary people can only pick up small objects such as hair or paper scraps when rubbing a glass rod with silk.
But it is different for a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Stage with a Heavenly Grade Thunder Spirit Root.
With the assistance of Ning Mingmei's thunder-type true qi, the transfer between the positive and negative electrodes became faster!
At the same time, he used his true energy to apply the silver needle so that the end close to the flask was negatively charged and the other end was positively charged!
Gui Ruoxue looked at Ning Mingmei at this moment and thought that this man was at the end of his strength and was pretending to be profound.
But the next moment, he witnessed a miracle.
The silk flew away into the distance. In just a moment, the gooseneck flask rubbed by silk came close to the forty-nine silver needles. The small silver needle was out of Gui Ruoxue's control and flew straight towards the rubbed gooseneck flask.
Both of them are cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Gui Ruoxue had rich experience in the martial arts world, so even though he was injured, he still had the upper hand.
But now, what he faced was a double beating from the laws of nature and the same level of heavenly thunder spirit roots!
"Ning Mingmei, what kind of magic did you use?" Gui Ruoxue was shocked.
How was his formation broken?
Ning Mingmei said: "With the help of the Celestial Thunder Spiritual Root, the transfer between positive and negative charges is achieved."
You, an evil cultivator, say that I, a sword cultivator from a famous and upright sect, use evil magic. Listen, is this reasonable?
Gui Ruoxue was still dumbfounded: "Positive and negative charges? What are those?"
And that piece of silk flew towards Gui Ruoxue's...face. He looked at his long hair, which somehow floated up and flew towards the piece of silk.
It just happened to completely block his own vision.
There is no spiritual energy, no exercises running... What the hell is this?
At this moment, Ning Mingmei had already taken action. He moved extremely quickly and flew towards Gui Ruoxue. Gui Ruoxue sensed his approach and immediately used her internal energy to try to block the sword's attack.
But the next moment.
There were heavy blows all around.
"Depend on!"
How can you, a sword cultivator, use your sword to cultivate your abilities?
Are you studying? !
All the large acupoints on Gui Ruoxue's body were sealed. He could no longer move, only his eyeballs could move.
Ning Mingmei stopped beside him.
Gui Ruoxue circulated the Qi in her Dantian to resist in order to break open the Xue Dao. But the next moment, he found that the true energy in his dantian was no longer enough.
Less than he expected.
Where did they go?
At this time, Gui Ruoxue finally realized that Ning Mingmei had conducted many tests on the statue during the day, causing madness in advance.
Not just to test the boundaries of the idol.
It was also to consume the true energy of Gui Ruoxue who was already seriously injured.
After all, there is no perpetual motion machine in this world. The energy that the statue uses to produce the holy water must also have a source.
This is a chain of tricks!
"Master Gui, don't panic. I kidnapped you and didn't intend to hand you over to anyone. I just wanted to talk to you." Ning Mingmei said, "After getting to know you well over the past two days, I am very interested in you."
In fact, Ning Mingmei was also very tired. He said to the system: "...quickly shock me."
System: “What’s wrong?”
Ning Mingmei: "The Qi is flowing too far, and it's almost at the end of its strength."
The system was very responsible this time and shocked Ning Mingmei three times, but the effect seemed to be no improvement. Ning Mingmei frowned, feeling heat surging throughout his body.
He asked the system: "Is the male protagonist dead?"
System: "No. Because of his special physique, you didn't hurt him in your fight just now."
Ning Mingmei: "Okay, this kid is really sensible. Let's take care of Gui Ruoxue first, then find him and suck him."
Where did this little brat go? Do you want him to find it himself?
Gui Ruoxue glared at Ning Mingmei who had a vague look in his eyes, but soon, he seemed to notice something and looked to the other side.
Ning Mingmei also noticed the light.
They looked up at the same time and looked at the statue behind them.
The fight between the two men brought about a strong wind, which blew away the dust that had accumulated on the statue for many years. At this moment, Ning Mingmei finally saw the true appearance of the statue.
It's a young girl.
A girl holding a lotus lantern.
The girl is wearing a fairy dress. She is not as dignified and majestic as other statues. On the contrary, she has a round face and looks gentle and amiable as she looks forward.
Ning Mingmei saw "Who is this" from Gui Ruoxue's eyes.
But he noticed something else.
Lotus lantern.
It was exactly the same lotus lamp he had obtained in the secret chamber of his afterlife!
The statue of the lotus lantern is held in the girl's hand. There was a faint light in the lamp, and there was something placed there.
The thing looked shiny and new, and didn't look like it had been there forever.
It seemed like it was released by the statue during the day because some mechanism was triggered.
It's like a gift from the statue's owner to the person who triggers the mechanism later.
Ning Mingmei was frowning, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of Gui Ruoxue's eyes flashing!
Gui Ruoxue has a backup plan!
A silver needle shot out from an oblique angle. This was Gui Ruoxue's final killing move, shooting straight into Ning Mingmei's eyes. It was too late for Ning Mingmei to stop him.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened.
