The scene seemed to freeze.
Sheng Ning frowned and looked around, only to see the scene of the chirping vines just reaching into the Black Tiger's belly, and Song Bei and the others immediately rushing forward, all stopped.
It's like someone pressed the pause button.
"You want the inner core?"
The voices beside him startled Sheng Ning so much that before he could even turn around, he raised his crossbow and fired it to his side.
"Arrows? You're a martial artist with... five elemental roots? How interesting."
Sheng Ning clearly heard the sound of a short arrow piercing flesh, but the other party's tone of voice remained unchanged.
She turned her head warily, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw that the other person was dressed in white monk's robes, holding prayer beads, and had blood-red eyes on his face.
"what are you up to?"
"Don't be afraid, this is my spiritual space. I didn't expect you to be unaffected by the suppression of my space." Kong Wu came to her barefoot.
"You are a cultivator with five elemental roots? It has been a long time since a cultivator like you has appeared on the continent."
Sheng Ning was watching the scene of the monster hunt just a second ago.
The next second, I was transported to an unfamiliar space.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
She looked up and met his bloodshot eyes, her face tense. "What does it matter to you how many spiritual roots I cultivate? Let me out."
Kong Wuxiao said, "But you want to steal the inner core of the Taixu Sect, don't you?"
"They are the ones who have a grudge against me first. What the Taixu Sect wants is what I want."
Sheng Ning clearly didn't have the patience to waste time with him here.
Seeing that he wasn't hurt, she looked around at this spiritual space and then realized the difference between it and her own spiritual space.
"Why are there living beings in your space?"
It is still full of vibrant plants and animals.
Sheng Ning initially thought he had led her into an illusion, but after experiencing the spiritual energy around her that was different from that of Chongwu Mountain, she realized that he had not lied to her.
Her spiritual space can only hold Gatling guns and bullets, so why can his keep plants and animals?
And isn't he a Buddhist cultivator with blood on his hands? Why is his spiritual space so peaceful and serene?
"This humble monk cannot be considered a Buddhist practitioner; I can only be said to know how to recite a few lines of Buddhist scriptures."
Having his thoughts read, Sheng Ning frowned and pulled out his Gatling gun. "Since you can read minds, you must know the power of my Gatling gun."
"Now, let me out."
Sheng Ning didn't want to be with Kong Wu.
Not to mention his terrifying blood-red eyes, his cultivation level is also unfathomable.
And the string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand—if she wasn't mistaken, they had Buddhist mantras written on them.
Unlike the smooth, rounded jade prayer beads, she clearly sensed a murderous intent emanating from them.
These are not Buddhist prayer beads, but relics.
Relics should only appear after a highly accomplished monk has passed away and been cremated.
The string of beads in Kongwu's hand conveyed no sense of compassion, only murderous intent.
Kong Wu never expected that Sheng Ning knew so much.
His smile deepened, his eyes half-closed, like the Buddha statue sitting in the main hall, compassionate towards the world.
"It was not this humble monk who pulled you in, but rather you who entered this humble monk's spiritual space on your own."
"I never expected you to have such talent. Why don't you join the Lotus Sect and become my disciple? I will then give you the Black Tiger's inner core. What do you say?"
Sheng Ning was speechless. "I'm a woman."
Although she did want to steal the Tiger-Taming Inner Core, isn't entering a Buddhist monastery something only a man can do?
Which Buddha takes in female disciples?
Kongwu chuckled softly, "Very well, this humble monk deems your karmic ties with the mortal world not yet severed. We two are destined to meet. If you wish to enter the Buddhist order in the future, or if you encounter any trouble, you may come to me."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Sheng Ning blinked and saw the Taixu Sect group and Kong Wu again.
"Chirp chirp!"
The voice she heard made her lower her head.
Upon seeing the inner core encased within the vine leaves, Sheng Ning immediately looked up at the empty space.
The latter also looked up, a smile of compassion for the world still playing on his lips.
Sheng Ning shuddered. Just as the original story said, Kong Wu was an anomaly.
It's really not a happy thing to have the female lead's thighs fall on her!
She quickly looked away, stuck a few speed-up talismans on her feet, and ran off with the inner core on the spot.
What a joke! Although Kong Wu is not in a clear mind, his cultivation is powerful. He can easily capture her.
She needed to get her third senior brother to refine these inner cores as soon as possible so that her other senior brothers could take them.
But what about Qin Chuan...?
With her face scrunched up, Sheng Ning, who had been so smug just moments before, became cautious after learning her lesson from Kong Wu.
No longer dwelling on the Nascent Soul stage demon beast beside Qin Chuan, she ran up to her four senior brothers after seeing them gathered together at the foot of the mountain.
"Senior brothers, I'm back!"
"Chirp chirp!"
Lu Qing'an had just come down the mountain. After learning from Yu Ye and the other two that Sheng Ning had not come down the mountain, he was preparing to go up the mountain to look for her when he heard Sheng Ning's voice in his ear.
Lu Qing'an's eye twitched slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you run off to again?"
Before Sheng Ning could remove the talisman that concealed her identity, she took out a mustard seed bag and stuffed it into the other person's arms.
"Senior brother, if you refine these three Nascent Soul stage inner cores, will it help you improve your cultivation?"
Lu Qing'an couldn't see that Sheng Ning looked furtive, as if she was afraid of being caught.
He only saw the mustard seed bag that Sheng Ning had thrown into his arms; it was so heavy that it made it hard for him to breathe.
"Three Nascent Soul stage inner cores? Where did you get them?"
