Chapter 12 Is there something going on between the senior brothers?
Bai Luochen hurried forward and told the story. Master Wuchen personally checked the condition of Zhong Ling'er's spiritual roots, then smiled and touched Zhong Ling'er's head and said, "Although I don't know how you did it, it's a good thing that your spiritual roots can slowly recover. This time, I found a Nine-Transformation Golden Lotus for you, I hope it will be helpful for the recovery of your spiritual roots."
After saying that, he handed a jade box to Zhong Ling'er. When Zhong Ling'er opened the box, she felt a shock all over her body. The rich medicinal fragrance rushed towards her body, and even the round beads in her sea of consciousness moved.
In the box was a golden lotus, with layers of petals emitting a hint of spiritual light. This was a ninth-grade spiritual plant, and legend had it that it could only be found in sinkholes and cracks in the ground. In addition to high-level monsters, there were also a lot of spatial turbulence, and almost no one was willing to set foot there.
This was obviously found specially for her. Zhong Ling'er put away the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus and did not say thank you. Instead, she walked forward and hugged Master Wu Chen. She truly recognized this master in her heart.
With the return of the eldest senior brother, Zhong Ling'er finally experienced what Ye Qinglan meant by "verbal encouragement".
In the afternoon, when she was fighting a fifth-level foundation-building monster in the formation, she heard the cold voice of the senior brother, "Are you tickling this monster?"
"The Nine Swords of Tianqiong relies on strength to win. It emphasizes going all out and moving forward courageously. What are you still planning? If your mind is not on the sword, how can you use your sword skills to the fullest!"
"Hey, congratulations, you finally tired this monster to death."
When Zhong Ling'er withdrew from the formation, she saw the eldest and second senior brothers looking at her. The eldest senior brother frowned and was very dissatisfied, but the second senior brother was still calm and gentle as jade.
Ouyang Ruochen suddenly said to Bai Luochen, "The formation you set up for her? Although this protects her from harm, it also greatly reduces the effectiveness of her cultivation. If she really wants to be a sword cultivator, she must have the courage to face danger."
Bai Luochen said calmly: "Junior sister is only twelve years old. It's already very good that she didn't cry when facing these monsters."
Ouyang Ruochen paused as if he remembered something, then turned back and said to Zhong Ling'er: "Junior sister, I will teach you personally in the next two days. If you can defeat the monsters without relying on formations, you can follow me to the Tianyuan Secret Realm in five days. Otherwise, you can stay and practice alone."
Zhong Linger's eyes lit up, "Tianyuan Secret Realm, there must be a lot of opportunities there, can I go there too?"
Ouyang Ruochen seemed dissatisfied and said: "Your second brother said he would take you to broaden your horizons."
Zhong Ling'er didn't care about his attitude and asked happily, "Who's going? Is the senior brother going too?"
Bai Ruochen took over the topic and said, "The Tianyuan Secret Realm has realm restrictions. Only those below the Jindan level can enter. Your senior brother cannot enter, so I am the only one who can bring you, Junior Sister Ye, and two inner disciples."
Zhong Ling'er looked happy to be able to go out and play, but her heart was filled with gloom.
Second Senior Brother died in this Tianyuan Secret Realm in his previous lives. Although the reason is unknown, it will definitely be dangerous to go there this time.
But this secret realm contains the marrow cleansing spiritual spring that she needs for body training, so she must go there, but what about her second senior brother?
Ouyang Ruochen took Zhong Ling'er and walked towards the depths of the forbidden area. Inside, they encountered many monsters, and the levels of the monsters became higher and higher as they went deeper. Finally, they stopped in front of a second-level Nascent Soul monster.
It was a red flame tiger, five meters tall, with fire spiritual energy surging all over its body, emitting a scorching heat like the sun, drying up the grass and trees around it.
Ouyang Ruochen said to Zhong Ling'er, "Junior sister, I will only demonstrate the Nine Swords of Heavenly Qiong once, please watch carefully!"
After saying that, he rushed forward with his sword in hand and fought with the Red Flame Tiger.
Bai Luochen explained, "This is the first move. The sword raises the heaven and earth. The key is the determination to draw the sword. You must have the will to create the world so that the sword in your hand can be fearless."
"This is the second move, Sword Moves the Eight Desolations. The key is the momentum of the sword..."
As Bai Luochen explained, Zhong Ling'er also stared in amazement. The black-clothed young man had mysterious swordsmanship, and his aura became stronger with each sword. In the end, it seemed as if he himself had turned into a sword, dancing in the flames spewed out by the Red Flame Tiger.
The flames and sword energy intertwined, like a raging sea of fire, and like thunder slashing and roaring. The ground was ravaged by the powerful sword energy, like a Category 10 hurricane destroying flowers, plants and trees, and constantly sweeping towards where the two stood.
Zhong Ling'er felt difficulty breathing, her heart was pounding, and she had an urge to escape, but she didn't want to take her eyes off Bai Luochen even a little bit, so she had to move closer to him.
The ground was covered in dust, broken trees were falling, and the gap created by the sword energy continued to spread, but all of this stopped three feet in front of Bai Luochen, as if it was cut off by a sword. Three feet away, the world was turned upside down, but within three feet, there was calm.
Zhong Linger stuck out her tongue. The eldest senior brother was very powerful, and the second senior brother was not bad either. The reputation of the two beauties of Taiqiong was indeed not unfounded. However, such a second senior brother still died in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. How powerful an opponent must he have encountered?
In the end, the Red Flame Tiger fell down with wounds all over his body, having gloriously completed his mission. Zhong Ling'er also gained a deeper understanding of the "Nine Swords of Tianqiong", and of course, a deep understanding of the strength of the two brothers.
At night, just as Zhong Ling'er came back from the Sutra Library, Ye Qinglan came secretly to her and said that there was a good show and invited her to watch it together.
Zhong Ling'er was surprised. The Taiqiong Sect was in a state of chaos and everyone was busy practicing. It was always peaceful and quiet. What good show could there be to watch?
The two of them sneaked to Bai Luochen's mountain and hid in the grass beside the rocks. They saw a young man in white sitting alone in front of a stone table drinking tea and reading a book. The moonlight sprinkled on his body, quiet and beautiful.
If she came to see the beauty under the moon, she would believe it, but where is the fun in it?
Zhong Ling'er looked at Ye Qinglan in confusion. Ye Qinglan took out a jade slip and wrote the word "wait" on it.
The two waited for another cup of tea, and saw Ouyang Ruochen coming on a sword. He stood quietly behind Bai Ruochen, and Bai Ruochen did not move, as if he did not notice.
Zhong Ling'er thought to herself, there is something strange about the two of them. Is there something going on between the two brothers?
After a long while, Ouyang Ruochen said, "The Tianyuan Secret Realm is too dangerous. It's not easy for you to take care of three inner disciples by yourself. Why do you want to bring your junior sister with you? She will only be a burden to you."
Bai Luochen put down the book and turned around, "You don't know Junior Sister. She is different from other children. Besides, the sect competition is coming soon. I have a feeling that many forces will try to get her to compete. So, we need to make plans as soon as possible."
Ouyang Ruochen's expression turned cold. "They can't deal with you and me, so they point their spearheads at a little girl. They are really a bunch of cowards."
"They have been trying to drive Taiqiong Sect out of the top five sects for more than a day or two!"
Ouyang Ruochen walked to another stone bench and sat down, and Bai Luochen poured him a cup of tea.
