Time gradually passed, day and night changed, and Changling had already entered the hottest season.
The small courtyard at the deepest part of the Mo Garden was quiet, and it was clearly daytime, but the brilliance emitted by countless stars, or the vitality that fell to the sky and the earth from an unimaginable distance, was condensed into a shape that was difficult to see with the naked eye by an invisible force. The viscous essence seen finally poured into Ding Ning's body at a constant speed along some fixed lines.
Ding Ning exuded billowing heat, and even formed a billowing multicolored cloud behind his back like a legendary saint.
His skin seemed to have turned into jade, exuding a moist luster.
The most disturbing thing is the countless rustling sounds coming from his body, like countless silkworms gnawing on the mulberry leaves.
The vitality of the heavens and the earth that flowed into his true essence from the surrounding heavens and the earth has been completely integrated with his true essence from the beginning like a speck of impurities. The true essence flowing in his body, in his perception, It was like a silver liquid, passing through his meridians crystal clear and transparent.
The stronger and more condensed true essence is constantly changing his body, including his perception.
In fact, it is not that the invisible spiritual power has been strengthened in a short period of time, but as the scope of absorbed heaven and earth energy expands, it is like the torch held by a person traveling in the dark getting brighter and brighter, allowing him to see more The place.
To see is to know.
Zhenyuan, who originally rejected the vitality of heaven and earth outside his body, can perfectly integrate and absorb the vitality of heaven and earth in his body, which means he has truly crossed the middle level of the four realms.
The true essence is one step stronger, it can be stored in the runes for a long time without dispersing, and the true essence can be mobilized to flow in the runes with the mind, driving the operation of the sword, this is the next five realms.
It may take many years or even half a lifetime for ordinary practitioners to go from entering the fourth realm to crossing the middle stage of the four realms to the first glimpse of the fifth realm. However, Ding Ning only took a fraction of a summer to complete The process is done.
…
Amidst the sound of cicadas all over the city, a girl wearing a plain shirt but carrying a long sword walked slowly from a street facing the ink garden.
Her body is very light, and she walks like a cat without making any noise, so she didn't attract many people's attention.
However, Shao Killer, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, was stunned the moment he raised his head.
The girl just nodded at Shao Killer from afar, and then walked through the open gate of the ink garden on her own, and walked straight to the depths of the ink garden.
Naturally, her cultivation base and age cannot surpass Shao Killer, and she is naturally a descendant of Shao Killer.
In the whole Changling, a girl who can have such a bearing in front of Shao Killer can only be Jing Liuli, the next suzerain of the Minshan Sword Sect, and one of the two strongest monsters in Changling before.
Because the other party is already respected by the master like himself, and he respects him very much, before approaching the small courtyard, Jing Liuli released some aura that he would not normally release.
A cool wind surged in front of her, and many cool crystal lights appeared in the clear mid-air. Like tiny water droplets, they reflected and refracted the colors of the sun, forming a small but beautiful rainbow.
Ding Ning had already sensed her arrival, but after she slowly released her breath, she opened the door and walked out of her bedroom, out of the small courtyard to meet this girl who should be the next Minshan Sword Sect Master.
Looking at Ding Ning who appeared in his line of sight, there was a hint of arrogance and coldness on his face, but Jing Liuli, who made people think that she should be like this, also nodded in courtesy.
Ding Ning bowed slightly to return the salute, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Where there is a letter, there will be a reply. Your friend Xie Changsheng has prepared a reply letter and some things for you, and I will bring it along." Jing Liuli looked at Ding Ning and said, "At the same time, I will learn from you."
Ding Ning was taken aback, but couldn't help laughing, and said, "What qualifications do I have for you to study?"
Jing Liuli took a look at Ding Ning, and said seriously: "I don't have such a great ability, and it only took so much time to cultivate from just passing the fourth level to the middle level of the fourth level."
Ding Ning's face also became serious immediately, and his brows were slightly frowned, "What kind of technique are you practicing, that you can directly perceive the real progress of your cultivation base?"
Jing Liuli didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "My cultivation is Hanshanxue."
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Jing Liuli added: "My sword is Yingxue Sword."
Others would not be able to directly understand the meaning of these two sentences from her, but Ding Ning was very clear.
"Being able to directly see through other people's true cultivation, especially the power of true energy, is the real opportunity to defeat the enemy." He glanced at Jing Liuli and said calmly.
"Actually, besides cultivation, I also need to learn other things from you."
Jing Liuli looked at Ding Ning, and said calmly: "Master thinks that I am still too simple, too simple, so I am not qualified for the position of suzerain."
Seeing Jing Liuli's suzerainty, Jing Liuli's solemn face, and listening to her simplicity, Ding Ning couldn't help laughing.
"Don't think it's funny." Jing Liuli frowned slightly, and continued seriously: "For example, in the matter of killing the palace maid, I want to learn from you... My Minshan Sword Sect has a traitor, and I Minshan Sword Sect wants to To clean up the family, but he holds an important position in the court and is highly regarded. If I kill him directly, it will be difficult for my master to explain it to Emperor Yuanwu. Moreover, that person is extremely shameless and lives in seclusion. I don’t accept invitations to duels from any practitioners at all. Even if I want to challenge him openly, he won’t accept the fight. I want to kill him, which is actually the same situation as you want to kill that court lady. Uncle Shao gave you advice, And you immediately feel that the suggestion is feasible, and you can do it with great confidence, then I can naturally learn from you and see how you do it."
Ding Ning looked at this serious and always serious girl and fell silent.
The next suzerain of the Minshan Sword Sect is the responsibility given to this girl by Baili Suxue, and those who are brave enough to take responsibility are often more sacrificing.
"This is Xie Changsheng's letter, and what he asked me to bring to you."
Jing Liuli casually handed the things he took out of his sleeve to Ding Ning, and at the same time slightly sarcastically said: "The Xie family even sent Jiaowei letters for you, and the things he gave you are actually useless."
The things handed over to Ding Ning were very simple, a sealed ordinary letterhead, a fiery red pearl shining with fluorescent light, and a small seal carved from a golden shell.
Ding Ning calmly opened the letterhead.
The handwriting inside is very scribbled, but the person who wrote it was obviously very hard and cheerful, and the pen moved very quickly, and he was exhausted.
The handwriting on it is also very simple: "I have already arranged what you said. If you have money, you can do things. You can take my seal to any firm in Xie's family to withdraw money. If they are stingy, you can directly take my night fire Mingzhu is pawned, it was left to me by my grandmother, let's see if they spend a lot of money to buy it back."
Ding Ning didn't cover it up on purpose, and Jing Liuli didn't avoid it on purpose, so she directly saw most of the handwriting on the letter paper, and immediately sneered and said contemptuously: "A rich rich man is a rich rich man, who exudes the aura of money anytime, anywhere."
Ding Ning didn't respond directly to this sentence, but just glanced at her calmly, and said, "You should have heard the story of Changling's pillars?"
Jing Liuli frowned and said, "What Changling column?"
"Even you have never heard of it. Many respectable things have been annihilated like this." Ding Ning shook his head, looked at the sky of Changling in the distance, and said slowly: "In the past, Lord Shang abolished the old law and reformed the new system. Almost No one believed what he said, so he found a log that was actually easy to erect, and issued a reward order, saying that anyone who could erect the log would be rewarded with a thousand gold. At first, no one tried it, thinking that I don’t know what kind of trap there is, but someone really tried it later, and it was easily erected, and Lord Shang really rewarded him with a thousand gold. Afterwards, everyone knew that Lord Shang would do what he said, and the new system was quickly implemented.”
Jing Liuli's face gradually became serious, and she didn't make a sound.
Ding Ning glanced at her, and then said: "Another aspect of this matter is that there must be brave men under great rewards, and we practitioners don't care about money. In fact, most of Changling depends on money to live. People care."
Jing Liuli's brows loosened slowly, "So you mean that money is very useful... If a person makes good use of money, it is also a kind of ability?"
Ding Ning nodded, laughed, and said, "Xie Changsheng is the best example. He values money the most, and at the same time he is the spendthrift who values money the least. But he can win many things, such as help from others, such as retainers, such as friend."
Jing Liuli thought of the man who stayed in the Minshan Sword Sect with a smug face, and it was really difficult to develop a good impression in her heart.
She looked slightly down and said: "So a lot of money is very useful for you to deal with that maid?"
Ding Ning took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said seriously: "Everything is ready."
Jing Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly, and the depth of her pupils shot out like a sharp sword, "Then what are you going to do?"
Ding Ning turned his head and looked at the high wall of the ink garden that he had destroyed. Many houses have been rebuilt there now, and the neighbors living in the neighborhood of Wutongluo lived there.
He said in a somewhat vulgar but down-to-earth manner: "The most basic thing in a person's life is food, drink, and food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."
