Chapter 73
Qi moved out of seclusion. The news spread very quickly. After all, he was not even a hundred years old yet. He rushed to Yuan Ying right after leaving seclusion. Anyone who saw it would find it absurd.
Let the news spread quickly naturally.
But Nan Xi was only surprised for a moment.
Originally, Qi Qian's departure from seclusion was imminent, and Nan Xi had already prepared herself mentally. Secondly, she was in a hurry to go back and continue her sword practice today, so she had no time to think too much.
But when Nan Xi hurried back to practice swordplay, the system was also in a state of panic.
It is not with Nan Xi now, but with Qi Qian.
Originally, Qiqian was released from confinement today and it was in a very good mood, but suddenly, it felt something was wrong on Qiqian's side.
After rushing over, I saw that although Qi Qian was breaking through the Yuanying stage according to the plot, the situation was extremely dangerous. In other words, although his life would not be in danger, judging by Qi Qian's movements, this Yuanying would definitely not be able to break through successfully.
The system was suddenly shocked and the whole thing became unstable.
I feel like I'm on the verge of a crash, but if I don't do anything about it, it will be a disaster.
It didn't care about its limited remaining energy and chose to help Qi Mi break through at the first opportunity.
Qi Qian himself was also gritting his teeth and persevering. Thunder from the sky struck down one after another with extraordinary ferocity. He was enveloped by the energy that was completely refined by that thing and broke through the Yuanying stage.
That energy was also very strong, and Qi Qian originally thought that it would be a natural outcome without much thought.
But who knew that of the nine heavenly thunders in the Yuanying period, only the third one has hit, and the energy has been completely consumed.
His own foundation was unstable and his spiritual power was insufficient, so he could barely withstand the current thunderbolt, let alone the six more thunderbolts that would follow.
Even if he used all his magic weapons and healing pills, he could only last until the seventh level.
The next two paths are extremely difficult.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a force filling his body, an extremely abundant force, so abundant that it made him feel refreshed, and the foundation that had been unstable just now was now stable.
He didn't know what was going on, but when he looked up at the thunder, confidence appeared in his brows again.
God helps me.
Seeing that he had calmed down, the system finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I felt a little weak again.
It really doesn't know why so many things happen in the plot. It has been wandering in the Three Thousand Worlds, and although it hasn't experienced many plots, it is not without experience.
In the past, the world had at most some small situations where it only needed to use a little trick to get what it wanted.
Not like it is now.
I originally thought that the death of the original heroine was already outrageous, but who knew that not only were the NPCs in this world confusing, but even the hero was in constant trouble.
In situations like this, it's really hard not to freak out.
When Nan Xi finished practicing sword skills this time, she also saw Qi Qian's thunder tribulation.
It's hard to say how big the calamity cloud is, but the Tianyun Sword Sect and the Yuxu Sect are close, so the fluctuations of the heavenly calamity can be felt here. The direction of Nan Xi's courtyard is just right, so he can see the calamity cloud over there.
She roughly estimated that this was the fourth thunder tribulation.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and felt that the speed of this thunder tribulation was a little faster than the Yuanying period thunder tribulation she knew.
But such speed does not mean that the power is small. On the contrary, it is fast and urgent, and the process of brewing, striking down, and brewing again is completed in one hour. The color of the thundercloud is purple with red, which is somewhat different from traditional thunderclouds.
This is not mentioned in the plot. When Qi Qian appears again in the plot, he is already in the Yuanying period.
But Nan Xi herself had no idea what this meant specifically. She just found it curious, looked at it for a few more seconds, and then went back to her room to lie down.
At the same time, among the other people from the Tianyun Sword Sect who saw the calamity cloud, several people noticed that something was wrong with the thunder calamity.
This calamity cloud clearly carries sin. It is the nine-fold red thunder used to cleanse sins. Its power is stronger and more fierce than ordinary thunder calamities. But the key is, what sin did Qi Qian commit?
In fact, Qi Qian himself did not do anything wrong. The problem was with the spiritual creature that helped him break through. That spiritual creature came from the Wanxiang Valley and was transformed from the spirit of a cultivator. Over tens of thousands of years, it devoured the lives and cultivation of many Tianjiao. It was an out-and-out evil creature.
Using such things to break through is itself unacceptable to the righteous path.
In fact, this is also a foreshadowing, which will lead to other plots later, but Nan Xi hasn't watched the later plots for a long time and didn't remember it for a while.
This system watched people break through, and when the ninth level of thunder ended, Qi Qian almost fell to his knees on the ground exhausted, but the glory and blessing of a successful breakthrough had already fallen.
It just breathed a sigh of relief and jumped directly back to Nan Xi's side, and suddenly saw some jumping data.
The luck value fluctuated again, this time it dropped by ten points again, and now the luck value is 40%.
The system looked at the data and was silent for a moment, but because it still didn't know what it meant, it pretended not to see it.
Let’s talk about Nan Xi.
After Qi Qian completed the breakthrough, she just woke up from a nap. She glanced in the direction of the Yuxu Sect and found that the calamity clouds had dissipated, so she yawned out of boredom.
I casually thought about the plot afterwards.
Afterwards, she received a message from He Jian, asking her to go to the cave to find her.
Nan Xi guessed that it was time to perform a plot-related mission, so she tidied up her appearance after waking up and headed towards the cave.
As soon as she arrived at the place, she found that in addition to He Jian, there was another person who was lazily leaning on the armchair, sitting in an untidy manner. There was only this one person in the entire sect.
Seeing her coming, Li Yunzheng waved at her casually with a smile on her lips.
"Hey, my nephew is here."
Nan Xi nodded, then looked at He Jian and asked, "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Nan Xi has been talking about the plot too much recently. Whenever He Jian looked at Nan Xi, he couldn't help but wonder if she would talk about some plot points.
But he remained expressionless.
"There has been some unusual activity recently. It seems that a treasure or a secret place has appeared. You and your junior sister are needed to go and investigate."
Nan Xi understood as soon as he heard it.
[Oh yes, that’s the plot. This is actually not a useful secret place at all. It’s just a dangerous place that tricks people. And the plot makes the hero and heroine share the hardships...]
He Jian choked for a moment, and suddenly didn't want to let Nan Xi go.
Now they have almost figured out the treaty between the system and Nan Xi. After thinking about it for a while, He Jian determined that as long as he asked Nan Xi not to go, the system could not blame Nan Xi.
He spoke slowly, "Forget it. I just suddenly remembered that Qi Zhao said he wanted to go. Let him go. You can just cultivate well in the sect."
Nan Xi: “?”
Before she could even say anything, the system suddenly jumped up.
[No! Host, you can't agree to this. No matter what, you must go on this trip. This is an important plot! There can be no room for error!]
It's no wonder the system is so anxious. It can't blame Nan Xi for the ruined plot. It's its power that was deducted. Who wouldn't be anxious?
And if the plot is not well-completed, even if it ends in the end, the energy it can obtain will not be much higher.
But it was in such a hurry to get angry that it completely ignored the sights of He Jian and Li Yunzheng who were looking at it almost at the same moment.
The sight was vague, like a cat discovering a mouse.
