Chapter 716 Chapter 718 Open Space
Rong Xianxian quickly came to Ning Qingyun, pierced several major acupoints on his head with golden needles to relieve the pain, and used the secret technique of transferring spiritual energy to him. Just now, Ning Qingyun was concentrating on deducing the formation and did not notice the changes in the thunder. In a moment of carelessness, his soul was struck by the suddenly stronger thunder, which led to the scene just now.
With the help of Rong Xianxian, Ning Qingyun slowly found the rhythm to resist the thunder. He endured the pain of his soul and practiced the "Soul-Yin Sutra". However, because his soul was severely damaged and his mind was scattered, he was unable to enter the state of cultivation.
Rong Xianxian felt heartbroken when she saw his pale face. She activated the Soul-Calming Bell, attached a wisp of her soul to the sound of the bell, and carefully invaded Ning Qingyun's mind.
Rong Xianxian wanted to check Ning Qingyun's current spiritual state, thinking that a short-term invasion would not cause any harm to him. However, as soon as she entered and saw a world of electric light, she was struck by a bolt of lightning. Her soul was in great pain, and that wisp of soul was annihilated by the lightning.
Although she had only taken a glance just now, Rong Xianxian also saw clearly Ning Qingyun's situation. His sea of consciousness had been completely occupied by the thunder, and his soul was surrounded by the thunder, suffering the torment of soul refining every moment. Fortunately, the purpose of the thunder was only to destroy the soul, and it did not cause any damage to the sea of consciousness. On the contrary, the sea of consciousness seemed to become more solid under the cleansing of the thunder. She could feel that the difficulty of the soul-calming bell sound invading the sea of consciousness had increased a lot.
Rong Xianxian kept transferring spiritual energy into Ning Qingyun's body. Her efforts seemed to relieve some of the pain in Ning Qingyun's sea of consciousness. About half an hour later, the expression on his face relaxed, and with a "puff" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and fell on the grass in front of him.
"Qingyun!" There was not a trace of blood on his already pale face. Rong Xianxian supported Ning Qingyun with a sad heart. Although she had seen Ning Qingyun in this state many times, she had not adapted to it or gotten used to it. Instead, she became more and more worried and frightened.
"It's okay!" Ning Qingyun held Rong Xianxian in one hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the other hand. "Be happy, I'm fine. It's just that I can't accompany you to Duobao Tower tomorrow!" When Ning Qingyun said this, his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle. Xianxian came to this foreign world alone for him. In this completely unfamiliar world, she was isolated and helpless, facing countless unknown dangers. He wanted to be with her so much. Although he knew that with his current physical condition, he could not bring her any help, he still wanted to watch her, accompany her, and stay by her side.
In fact, practicing "The True Scripture of Soul Condensation" can only alleviate the pain of soul refining, but cannot prolong the time for the soul to resist being struck by thunder. Ning Qingyun concealed this fact in order to be able to accompany Rong Xianxian for one more day, which led to the current situation.
"Qingyun, quickly absorb the soul power in the soul jade and return to the Sky-Splitting Plate!" Rong Xianxian took out a dozen soul jades from the misty space and handed them to Ning Qingyun.
Ning Qingyun groaned, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again. He showed a bitter smile on his face. The fierce attack of the thunder just now had split countless cracks in the origin of his soul. At this moment, he was in no condition to absorb external soul power.
Although Ning Qingyun didn't say anything, Rong Xianxian guessed his predicament from his reaction.
Rong Xianxian took out a golden soul-fixing crystal and a soul-binding ring from the foggy space. The soul-binding ring was obtained from the red-robed Taoist priest. The golden soul-fixing crystal was the highest-level item developed by the Yisheng Academy that could protect the soul.
Ning Qingyun shook his head, indicating that these two things were of no use to his current situation. Rong Xianxian once again searched through her collection of items that could affect the soul and accidentally discovered seven lightning-inducing stones.
Two years ago, Ning Qingyun used the method of carving a lightning-inducing array on a lightning-inducing stone to make a thunder-exploding stone. Wearing the thunder-exploding stone can defend against the invasion of alien souls. At the same time, in the process of carving the thunder-inducing array, Ning Qingyun can introduce the power of thunder in the body into the lightning-inducing stone to relieve the pain. For this reason, Rong Xianxian searched everywhere for thunder-inducing stones, and these seven were saved from that period.
In fact, Rong Xianxian bought more than seven pieces at that time, but more than a hundred pieces in total. Because of Rong Xianxian's purchase, the value of the lightning-inducing stone, which was originally relatively rare, increased a hundred times in value in a short period of time.
The reason why there are only seven lightning stones left is that the others were destroyed in the process of Ning Qingyun carving the lightning-attracting formation. After he practiced the "Soul-Yin Sutra", his soul power became stronger, and at the same time the power of the thunder became stronger and more difficult to control, so that he consumed hundreds of lightning stones but did not get a single thunder-exploding stone. After Ning Qingyun learned that Rong Xianxian spent a huge amount of money to buy these lightning stones, he refused to use the lightning stones anymore.
Seeing Rong Xianxian taking out the lightning stone, Ning Qingyun did not hesitate. He told Rong Xianxian to step back a little, used his fingers as a knife, quickly carved a few runes on the lightning stone, and then threw it towards the lake with force. There was a loud "bang", waves splashed, and lightning flashed in the water curtain. The frightened wild ducks that fled in all directions would be killed instantly if they were touched by a little lightning. Ning Qingyun quickly detonated all seven lightning stones, and the pain on his face was obviously relieved.
Although he couldn't carve the uncontrolled power of thunder into runes, he could use the lightning-attracting stones to draw the chaotic power of thunder out of his sea of consciousness. However, in this way, the expensive lightning-attracting stones could only be used as consumables.
Under normal circumstances, the little bit of thunder power brought out by the lightning stone could only temporarily relieve Ning Qingyun's pain, but at this moment, it played a crucial role.
Ning Qingyun could finally concentrate on practicing the Soul Sutra. The two soul jades gradually disappeared in his hands, and his soul slowly recovered. After absorbing the two soul jades, Ning Qingyun opened his eyes, "Xianxian, the origin of your soul has been damaged this time. I don't know how long it will take for you to wake up next time. Be careful here alone, don't take any risks!"
"Qingyun, don't worry, I will be very careful. You should rest well in the Tianlie Plate. Don't worry about me, I will protect myself!" I hope that when we meet again next time, I will have found the Soul-Shaping Grass, Rong Xianxian added silently in her heart. Although she hoped to be together with them, she really didn't want to see Ning Qingyun suffer the pain of soul refining again.
"Did you not close the concealment formation when you came out just now?" Ning Qingyun suddenly asked.
Rong Xianxian looked back and saw an open space behind her all the way to the medicine garden. She walked towards the entrance of the Tianyu Crystal House according to her previous memory, but could not get close no matter what.
