Yun Xian really had a setback.
Judging from what had happened before, others should not have been able to see the Taiping Sword, but she had just been scratching at it and yelling and cursing. I don't know when Jimo Shu woke up, so how did she suddenly become fine? It was really strange.
Anyway, I hope she didn't wake me up.
Jimo Shu: "I was woken up by you."
Yun Xian: “…”
Seeing Jimo Shu's full of energy now, and seeming to be completely fine, Yun Xian wanted to ask her if she felt dizzy, nauseous, or wanted to vomit, and if she still wanted to keep the half of the Great Wilderness Pearl that was stained with saliva, etc., but she raised her hand and with one palm, split the Wild Spring barrier that was lingering above her.
Yun Xian was caught off guard and lost her balance, rolling out like a potato. Her head almost made contact with the steps. At this moment, the back of her collar was lifted by something like silk, and she adjusted her direction imperceptibly.
nice shot!
Qiao Lingshan was almost knocked off her horse by Yun Xian Tu Dou.
In everyone's sight, the only thing visible was Jimo Shu's dripping figure. Her hair was still seeping with water, dripping bit by bit onto the yellow sand before evaporating as if burned.
Qiao Lingshan held Yun Xian's head and examined it, finding no wounds. She asked in surprise, "She didn't hit you?"
Yun Xian was very self-aware, "If possible, I should have hit him hard."
Qiao Lingshan: “…” I don’t know what these two people experienced in there.
The Bull Demon and Mei Yanliu who followed were invisibly excluded by the righteous people for a long time. Finally, they welcomed the Saint's return and hurriedly said, "Saint!"
Jimo Shu noticed Liu Shi's gaze out of the corner of her eye. The two looked at each other for a moment and then moved away.
Seeing that the situation could not be reversed, Liu Shi snorted coldly and left with his men.
It's strange to say, although they both went to the Great Wilderness Spring, Yun Xian's realm improved a lot, while Jimo Shu's realm decreased instead of improved, and now she even looks a little weak.
"Let's go." Jimo Shu seemed to have a splitting headache and didn't want to stay here any longer.
Even though she was weak, she was the only one in the Nascent Soul stage present. Excluding Xue Lingxiu who was there to make up the numbers, she was the strongest person. Everyone watched her leave the hall. When she turned around, she seemed to remember something and looked towards the body-building door at the other end with her beautiful eyes.
There were two jade seal halos on Ji Rongxue's body, which were very eye-catching. She didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand and grasped it. The jade seal was subjected to a strong force and was about to fly towards her, but Ji Rongxue clenched her hand in reverse and looked at it coldly.
There was no intention of letting go.
How dare you! You have two on you, and the Saint Lady mercifully took only one, yet you still dare not give it to me? What a provocation! Mei Yanliu was about to speak when she saw Jimo Shu hesitate for a moment, but she didn't say anything and withdrew her hand, ready to leave.
It’s a very friendly way of robbing someone. I’ll try to see if you let go. If you don’t, I won’t rob you.
"What?!" Mei Yanliu couldn't believe her eyes. "Saint, are you tired and don't want to do it? Let me teach her a lesson."
The Bull Demon said, "You are a succubus, how can you teach others how to behave when you don't even know how to behave yourself?"
Mei Yanliu: "What are you trying to do? Do you think you're the second in command now?"
Bull Demon: "I'm just telling the truth."
"Enough!" Jimo Shu looked really tired. She was too lazy to listen to the two people chattering behind her. She thought, it doesn't matter if she can't get the Body Tempering Gate. Yun Xian still has it.
Before she could make a move, Yun Xian threw the half of the Great Wilderness Pearl, which was sticky with something unknown, to her.
The cut surface was unusually neat, as if it had been chopped cleanly.
"I don't know if it's useful, but it's yours." Zhong Changyao's things were also Jimo Shu's things. Yun Xian said this with a clear conscience, "This is the source of living water, extremely spiritual. You will need it someday."
Jimo Shu: “…………”
Yun Xian shouted, "Remember to take it orally! Once a day, half a pill at a time! Don't take this stuff carelessly!"
The corner of her eye twitched as she took a look at the thing, then she casually threw it into the storage ring and flashed out.
As everyone followed her gaze, Jimo Shu heard Mei Yanliu's voice behind her, as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Saintess." He said solemnly, "Don't forget what we are here for."
After Yun Xian came out, he told everyone what he had seen and heard in the Great Wilderness Castle.
"Five hundred years ago, a barren woman..." Xue Lingxiu pondered, "I seem to have seen sporadic records in a book of unofficial history. I didn't expect it to be true."
Qiao Lingshan wondered, "Yun Xian, how did you know that?"
"Ah? Me." Yun Xian said calmly, "Jimo Shu told me."
"No matter what, as long as I'm promoted successfully, that's all that matters." Xue Lingxiu waved her folding fan and smiled broadly. "Just now, when you and Jimo Shu came out together, Liu Shi's face was glowing green."
Only happiness built on the suffering of your enemies is true happiness. Look how happy he is smiling now.
Yun Xian stood up and brushed off all the sand and stones on her body. Turning around, she saw Qi Zhiye looking at her with his arms folded, his eyes subtle.
Yun Xian: "What?"
"You are now at the same level of cultivation as me." Qi Xingye tilted his head and said, "Do you want to have a competition?"
"If you have nothing to do, go help Brother Xue with his laundry." Yun Xian hated competing with others the most. She had refused Qiao Lingshan's offer, so how could she agree to a competition with Qi Xingye? "Look at how much laundry he's accumulated. Master Xue must have worked so hard."
Xue Lingxiu's folding fan made a sound when it was squeezed, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared: "...I don't think I ever said I wanted to wash it?"
As everyone chatted, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and there was no longer the atmosphere of ready to punch anyone at any time. Just as they were about to leave, Yun Xian keenly noticed something was wrong and turned to ask, "Did we forget something?"
Qiao Lingshan: "What? You even brought your sword."
Xue Lingxiu: "No."
Qi Zhiye: “I don’t know.”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that this feeling was vague, as if they had really lost something.
Ji Rongxue said quietly, "Zhong Changyao and Tiedan were captured by the Barren Woman and have not returned yet."
"What?! There's actually such a thing!" Upon hearing this, Yun Xian couldn't help but gasp, horrified, and said solemnly, "So that disciple's real name is Tiedan!"
Everyone: “…………”
Is this the point of being so shocked?! Huh?!
Xue Lingxiu then remembered that Zhong Changyao had also been captured by the stone woman and it was unknown when he would return. Yun Xian saw that the place was empty and it seemed that he would not be able to come out for a while, so he simply moved to sit next to Ji Rongxue.
She didn't know why Zhong Changyao was arrested again. Taiping had eaten half of the Great Desolate Pearl, and Jimoshu had taken away half. If he had another chance, he would probably only be able to pick up the shell at the bottom of the spring that held the Great Desolate Pearl.
Apart from anything else, the shell is quite beautiful and should be able to sell for a lot of silver.
It was just that she still cared about the imperial seal.
The two men took out the jade seal, and the faint white light began to gradually become stronger and more vibrant. It was an abnormal state that had never been seen before. Yun Xian frowned and said, "Try again?"
Ji Rongxue said, "Okay."
The two of them input their spiritual power into the jade seal step by step, thinking that there would be some progress this time, but they still returned empty-handed.
Ji Rongxue's cold and elegant face remained unchanged as she put the jade seal back into her sleeve and said, "As expected."
She and Tiedan are the only ones in the Body Strengthening Sect who have reached the eighth level of Golden Core cultivation. They have tried countless times in recent days, but always returned empty-handed and have no clue what to do.
Yun Xian took the jade seal in his hand and fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked, "Miss, do you know where the Buddhist disciples are now?"
Ever since the last battle between Foxiang and Daozong, all the disciples except Qi Xingye have vanished into thin air, and even now, no trace of them has been found. Logically, such a large group of people couldn't possibly be hiding so well. And there was no need to hide. With that defensive formation, if they wanted to take the jade seal, no one could take it away.
Qi Zhiye glanced sideways at this place.
"I don't know. But, you can imagine." Ji Rongxue obviously knew more about the four-way wars of the past than Yun Xian. "This is sometimes what happened in the Buddhist Land in the past. They were entangled by a difficult and brainless monster. They only defended and did not attack. Both sides consumed each other. Unless the monster felt bored and retreated, there would be no end to it."
"Ah?" This was something Yun Xian hadn't expected. "It's been so long, all the monsters would have known to leave, right?"
Ji Rongxue asked in return: "What if it's an Ice Shadow Giant Lizard?"
Yun Xian: “…”
If it was an Ice Shadow Lizard, then she would have a picture in her mind.
Hey, you bunch of stinky bald guys, so annoying, I’ll bite you to death!
Hey, I can’t bite it.
But so what! Hey, you bunch of stinky bald guys, I'll bite you to death!
It’s a vicious cycle.
No wonder Qi Zhiye has been so calm and collected these days, and doesn't seem to care at all. It seems that he is well aware of the personalities of his senior brothers.
"...never mind." Yun Xian silently formulated a plan to rescue the monk. He placed the jade seal on his palm and slowly stated his speculation: "It seems that our method of igniting the jade seal is wrong."
Ji Rongxue looked at her and motioned her to continue.
"Looking at the test, it's obvious that it's deliberately trying to make things difficult for us, making it impossible for us to complete it." Yun Xian spoke in a wise tone, "Excluding the possibility of simply lacking quality, the only explanation is that it doesn't want us to ignite it, perhaps because it lacks some necessary conditions."
"That makes sense." Ji Rongxue pondered, "For example?"
"Uh. Well, I don't know for now." Yun Xian blinked twice. "Could it be that he didn't bathe and burn the incense before lighting it? Can't have anyone around him? Is his sitting posture not straight enough? Is his attitude not correct? Is his eyes not clear enough?"
"..." Ji Rongxue looked at her deeply and said implicitly, "Jimo Shu is right."
Yun Xian: “?”
Why are we suddenly talking about the saint again?
With a loud bang, the barrier opened again, and two familiar figures were pushed out by the barrier and flew out, falling heavily to the ground, just like before.
Tiedan was strong and had thick skin and flesh, so he was not hurt at all after rubbing against the ground for a long time. Zhong Changyao was not so lucky. He was caught off guard, in a mess, and suffered a lot of injuries.
But the injuries on his body did not seem to be enough to make his face look so ugly.
The Great Wilderness Pearl in the storybook is gone!
Seeing Tiedan return, Ji Rongxue stood up, reorganized his disciples, and seemed to be planning to leave.
"If there is any progress, you can use this communication talisman to send a message to me, and I will cooperate with your wishes." Ji Rongxue handed the communication talisman to Yun Xian, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said abruptly, "The next time we meet, we may be enemies."
Yun Xian took the message talisman and looked up when he heard it: "...Yes."
Once the ancient battlefield opens, everyone except Qiao Lingshan and Feng Ye should be an opponent.
Ji Rongxue continued to look at her quietly, his expression unchanged, just as before: "You always think too highly of others and are too lenient with them."
Feng Ye almost didn't recognize who she was talking about.
"Sometimes people don't need to be too smart, as long as they are cruel enough." Ji Rongxue looked towards the sky and said coldly but meaningfully, "See you next time, Yun Xian."
Tiedan nodded to Yunxian, and the people from the Body Strengthening Sect followed Ji Rongxue silently and were about to leave together.
"Wait." Yun Xian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong with the young lady? Why are you suddenly saying something so profound?"
Ji Rongxue didn't look back, but paused and said, "After all, I am also a lion man."
Yun Xian: “…………”
Everyone: “…………”
One, two, three, close your eyes and take a deep breath.
The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall... I have never seen such a bad joke in my life!
Ji Rongxue seemed to be restraining the frequency of her saying these things, but Yun Xian suspected that her real personality was rather bad. In fact, she either liked to talk or she liked to see the speechless and choked expressions of others who couldn't speak directly. This was the fun of it.
The people from the Body Strengthening Sect left Yun Xian and his group, who were feeling uncomfortable after being ridiculed, and left.
"Alright." Yun Xian took the jade seal and said with a relaxed expression, "Let's go too."
Xue Lingxiu took emergency measures to treat Zhong Changyao, who was suffering from a heart attack, and he is now fine.
Zhong Changyao stared at Yun Xian intently, dark thoughts swirling in his mind. He wanted to ask directly if she had the Great Desolate Pearl, but he was worried that someone might find out what he had said. He felt extremely frustrated and annoyed, almost vomiting blood, yet he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
It’s always her…it’s always because of her!
Qiao Lingshan had packed everything long ago, but seeing Yun Xian's calm expression, she felt something was wrong.
She and Xue Lingxiu looked at each other and realized that they both felt that something was wrong with Yun Xian.
Come on, Yun Xian is now half a step into the Nascent Soul stage! What does half a step into the Nascent Soul stage mean? This is the strongest cultivation level in the entire field besides Jimo Shu. Even among the four realms, she is a gifted existence. She is no longer the rookie who was chased around by Liu Shi and others when she first entered the secret realm. With her arrogant temper, how could she be so calm now?
How is that possible!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yun Xian wiped Qi Shuang off his sword, put it into the scabbard, and said calmly, "It's not time to be happy yet."
Qi Zhiye: "Why can't I be happy?"
Yun Xian said solemnly, "When your strength increases, you become elated, and you tend to slack off. Once you slack off, you tend to forget your priorities, and once you forget your priorities, you tend to stumble. The more times like this, the more you need to be calm and composed. This is the principle my mother taught me since I was a child, Yun Xian, I will never forget it."
Xue Lingxiu was stunned: "Yun Xian, you..."
He was stunned, and so were the people in the cities outside the secret realm.
"Is this the guy from the East Realm Sword Pavilion? How did he suddenly become a half-step Nascent Soul? This is the strength of a sect leader, it's totally unexpected! So terrifying!"
"It's terrible. I've never noticed this person before... since when did it start..."
"Most people really wouldn't have guessed it. Now that I think about it, Yun Xian's strength has been leaping two levels since she entered the secret realm. Every time she did, she was able to leap a level, without wasting a single bit. Furthermore, she rarely engaged in direct conflict with others. If it weren't for the Great Desolate Spring that immediately propelled her to the forefront of cultivation, I'm afraid no one would have paid much attention to her until the very end."
"Hiss. That makes sense! My impression of her is still that every time I see her, she's always eating apples. I guess she did that on purpose."
"You really know how to hide your shortcomings!"
"Did you hear what she said? She's so knowledgeable at such a young age. She's neither arrogant nor impatient, neither eager for quick success nor complacent. She's also remained calm in the face of such a huge leap in strength. It's truly rare!"
"As expected of a sword cultivator! As expected of a sword cultivator!"
“…”
There was a rare sense of peace in the supervisory seats.
Liu Chang stopped talking and just looked at the projection stone. The Liu Shi inside had progressed from sneezing three times occasionally to a condition that looked like typhoid fever.
Li Pei was also looking at the projection stone. Xue Lingxiu was pinching her nose and throwing cleaning talismans at Yun Xian's dirty clothes.
Su Chi was watching Yun Xian. He was still very lively.
Master Mingguang was chanting the Amitabha Buddha's Calming Mantra, and he could no longer watch.
At this moment, the scenes in the four projection stones gradually overlapped. Liu Chang was stunned and frowned fiercely.
Enemies meet on a narrow road, and the Dao Zong group runs into Yun Xian again!
Nervous, nervous, nervous!
Under the gaze of the crowd, under the dim sky of the secret realm, the setting sun was blood-red, yellow sand was sweeping, and an ancient roar was heard in the distance. The two groups stood facing each other, and undercurrents surged.
Liu Shi looked at the jade seal that Yun Xian was holding in his hand and gritted his teeth.
Yun Xian is no longer the same person he used to be. He is no longer the little swordsman who would turn around and run away when he sees anyone. He is also half a step away from becoming a Nascent Soul like him. Even without talking about their fighting moves, their spiritual power is already comparable.
Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of him.
"Xue Lingxiu, how long are you going to follow her?" Liu Shi said coldly, "And Qi Xingye, you're so addicted to being someone's dog that you don't even want your own senior brother anymore?"
Xue Lingxiu also responded with a sinister smile, "If the effectiveness of provoking others could be ranked, then Fellow Daoist Liu is the worst user I've ever seen."
Qi Zhiye was even more baffled. He sneered, "I'm a dog myself, and everyone else wants to be a dog too. One day, you won't think I'm going to steal your shit, right?"
Liu Shi was furious: "You guys!"
"?!" Qiao Lingshan's pupils trembled slightly. She thought to herself, after spending so long with Yun Xian, these two people's swearing skills seemed to have become so proficient that she was too afraid to recognize them!
Liu Hui was even more shocked. If this continued, it would be bad. I couldn't stop scolding him!
At this moment, Yun Xian was still calm and composed. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please behave properly and don't swear."
Qi Zhiye: “Humph!”
After a moment of silence, Yun Xian slowly turned his gaze to Liu Shi and smiled faintly.
Liu Shi: "What are you planning again..."
"Hey, isn't this Liu Shi? What are you doing here?" Yun Xian suddenly spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and his tone also fluctuated: "You know, this place doesn't accept rude people, you are not welcome!"
Everyone: “?”
"Listen up, Liu Shi. Ji Rongxue and I will soon be launching an incredible ancient battlefield. Anyone holding a jade seal can participate, but guess who isn't invited?" Yun Xian pointed a finger at Liu Shi and said arrogantly, "You—!"
"Go back quickly, Liu Shi. Otherwise, stay and wash clothes for Master Xue!"
The series of moves was completed in one go, with very little room to breathe. Only then did Liu Shicai react. He had never been treated so humiliatingly before, and his blood immediately surged. All the disciples of the Sword Sect drew their swords in unison.
As soon as he grasped the hilt of the knife, Yun Xian swung Qishuang, and the sword body sank straight into the ground an inch with a sharp force. The sword energy of the half-step Nascent Soul swept across in an instant with unparalleled power, and suddenly shocked everyone back a step.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to the promotion just now, so I can't control it well." Yun Xian held his forehead in distress and sighed softly: "The spiritual energy is too strong. If I don't shake, I will be knocked to the ground."
Liu Shi: “…………”
Everyone inside and outside the secret realm: “…………”
This is no longer something that can be described as complacency.
It's simply a villain succeeding! !
