As soon as Gu Xichun said this, there was a sudden silence in front of the mountain gate of the Ivy Sword Academy.
Xu Heshan and Xie Changsheng who were not far away also stopped talking, Xie Changsheng couldn't help but shook his head, and said slightly mockingly: "Even if you have such an ambition, you don't need to say it openly to show your extraordinaryness. "
Xu Heshan was a little convinced, and said softly: "At least he has such a heart."
Students from more than a dozen places of practice have gathered here, but only three or four places of practice are qualified to participate in the Minshan Sword Sect Sword Association, and among the three or four places of practice that are eligible to participate, I am afraid Only Gu Xichun dared to say that, and the rest of them knew that they were not strong enough, and they could only serve as green leaves as a foil in that kind of sword meeting.
Naturally, Gu Xichun couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get the opportunity to study in the Minshan Sword Sect at that kind of sword meeting, but he could take this as his goal, and those around him didn't connect himself with that kind of sword meeting at all. Compared with others, those two sentences of his naturally have a meaning that you chicks don't know the lofty ambitions.
Xie Changsheng, Xu Heshan and the others felt that Gu Xichun was a bit proud, so they just muttered a few words in private, and didn't want to openly refute Gu Xichun's face, but among the students present, some were from prominent backgrounds, but their cultivation was not as good as Gu Xichun's. student.
After a short period of silence, someone couldn't help but said lightly: "Brother Gu has lofty aspirations, and we are naturally inferior, but if Ding Ning from Baiyang Cave and An Baoshi from Lingxu Sword Gate, Minshan Sword Sect Jing Liuli is the same as the two of you, if you refine Qi in one month, and then the next practice speed is similar to those two, maybe by the time of the Minshan Sword Club, he will already be your strong enemy."
"Is it?"
Gu Xichun looked at that person, smiled slightly, and said: "Then we are idle if we are idle, why not come to win some prizes, let's see if Ding Ning can break the barrier today and refine Qi in a month."
Hearing this statement, most people present felt that it was meaningless.
Because at least until yesterday, everyone can be sure that Ding Ning has not yet broken through. Taking today as the deadline, the chances of betting on Ding Ning to break through are too slim.
In fact, everyone present felt that it was impossible for the boy from the wine shop in Baiyang Cave to refine Qi in one month, and it was only because of the records of the two monsters of Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect, That's why there is such a saying.
Could it be that Ding Ning can really bet that he will reach the Qi Refining Realm within a month
Most people bet on the impossible, so even if a few people bet on the possibility, most people won't have much prize if they win, and they can't bet at all.
However, at this moment, a voice that seemed a bit immature but rebellious sounded: "Okay, if this is the case, then I will bet three mica knife coins, and I will bet that Ding Ning can successfully break through today."
hiss…
There was a sound of gasping in front of the mountain gate of the Ivy Sword Academy.
All eyes focused on that person.
One mica knife coin is worth 500 gold, and three are worth 1,500 gold. With so much money, I am afraid most of the students present will find it difficult to piece it together for a while.
All the students even thought that the person who made the sound was joking, but when they saw the person who made the sound clearly and saw the three sword coins he took out from his sleeve, everyone knew that this person was really not joking.
Because this person is Xie Changsheng from Baiyun Temple, and Xie's family is very rich in Guanzhong, so others can't afford to gamble this thousand and five hundred gold, but he can still afford to gamble.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Heshan beside Xie Changsheng had an expression of disbelief.
"Money and wealth are foreign objects." Xie Changsheng curled his lips and replied softly.
In fact, when Gu Xichun was a little mocking at the beginning, he was a little unhappy, but just now when he saw Gu Xichun raise the bet even more proudly, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Oh?" Gu Xichun saw that it was Xie Changsheng at first sight, frowned slightly, and wanted to start a conversation.
Seeing that as soon as he said it, the gamble should come to fruition, but at this moment, there was another sound of reining in the horse.
"Xie Changsheng! Isn't money at home money?"
"Do you think that once it is in your hands, you can squander it without restraint?"
"Xie Changsheng! Do you think that if Dad gave you such a name, you can really win forever and win every bet?"
Along with the clear sound of reining in the horse, angry female voices sounded on the mountain road one after another.
Xie Changsheng shuddered, and his face immediately turned pale.
"What's going on here?" Xu Henian followed the gazes of the crowd, only to see a tall girl rushing out of the stopped carriage with eyes full of evil eyes.
This girl has a beautiful oval face and a very well-proportioned figure. Her long hair is coiled with a jasper hairpin, which makes her neck more slender.
"Who is she?" Xu Henian couldn't help but looked at Xie Changsheng beside him and asked again. From the word Taixiao on the green robe on the girl, he knew that the girl was a student of Taixiao Palace. Over the years, Taixiao Ligong was also on the list invited by the Ivy Sword Academy, but the number of students from Taixiao Ligong in the past few years was relatively small, and I had never seen this girl.
"She is my elder sister, Xie Rou, her name is very soft, but she is not gentle at all." Xie Changsheng said softly with a bitter face.
Xu Heshan couldn't understand, and thought that even if he was a sister, he didn't have to be afraid of being like this.
"I can't beat her, and we are studying abroad, my father let her take charge of the money, I want to take it from her..." Xie Changsheng seemed to know Xu Heshan's heart, and added softly.
Xu Heshan's eyes were instantly relieved, and his heart was full of sympathy for Xie Changsheng. After all, he was used to Xie Changsheng's way of spending money like water. If Xie Changsheng, who was used to throwing money away, had no money to lose, it would be really uncomfortable, and he might feel uncomfortable all over his body, which would affect his cultivation and advancement.
"Then why did she call you Xie Changsheng?" Xu Heshan lowered his voice and asked, looking at the angry tall girl who was getting closer and closer.
Xie Changsheng's face became even more bitter: "My real name is Xie Changsheng... It's just that I think this name is too rustic, so I changed it to Xie Changsheng."
Xu Heshan was stunned, "It's quite earthy." But he immediately said seriously: "But no matter how earthy it is, you can't just change the name your father gave you."
"Changing what? You changed your name?" Xie Rou was already approaching now, and when she vaguely heard Xu Heshan's words, she immediately raised her brows, looked at Xie Changsheng with a frosty face, and said sharply, "You are so big." courage!"
"Where do I have it?"
Xie Changsheng argued with an extremely ugly face: "Which person here doesn't know my name is Xie Changsheng."
When Xu Heshan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
From then on, Xie Changsheng might only be able to restore his real name to Xie Changsheng.
"Is it?"
Xie Rou looked at her younger brother Xie Changsheng who was not very successful in her eyes with a gloomy face, "Then you should say something loudly here, my name is Xie Changsheng."
The former Xie Changsheng, now Xie Changsheng suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and shouted: "Sister! What are you doing! Isn't it just a bet with someone? Anyway, this Ding Ning is also a half-day master of mystery, and he is not guaranteed to lose!"
"If you were born in an ordinary market, you don't have any nobles or powerful people to support you, and I heard that you were seriously injured in the previous turmoil." Xie Rou, a tall and domineering girl, was full of sarcasm. With a smile, "If you can break through the realm and refine Qi in one month, then I'll simply let him be your brother-in-law."
"..."
The mountain gate of the Ivy Sword Academy was completely silent.
All people are speechless.
Isn't Xie Changsheng's sister Xie Rou herself? When Xie Rou asked him to be Xie Changsheng's brother-in-law, didn't she mean that if Ding Ning's talent was really amazing, she would marry Ding Ning
I often hear people say that the women in Guanzhong have arrogance, but now it seems that they are very different from the women around Changling... Even if these words are just angry words to teach my own brother, but such words are spoken by a young girl. For Changling, it was a bit too surprising.
"Sure enough, no wonder you are afraid of her." Xu Heshan swallowed forcefully, and couldn't help but whisper into Xie Changsheng's ear.
…
"Eldest brother, what is the cultivation level of Junior Brother Ding Ning?" At this time, in Baiyang Cave, many students surrounded Zhang Yi, asking about Ding Ning's cultivation.
"It's hard." Zhang Yi couldn't help but glance at the direction of the thatched hut hidden in the mountain gorge. He understood the emotions of these students. From doubting Ding Ning at the beginning, many students in Baiyang Cave now have feelings for Ding Ning He had high expectations, but he still explained truthfully: "He opened the Jade Palace in the middle of the month. According to the speed at which the five energies are running, unless his cultivation progressed to the extreme, and he and Ban Ri Tong Xuan It is the same as before, there are not many obstacles in breaking the realm, so it is possible for him to break through to the Qi Refining Realm today."
Hearing Zhang Yi's explanations, the Baiyangdong students who surrounded him were somewhat disappointed.
…
In the quiet thatched cottage, Ding Ning was practicing peacefully.
The jade palace in the depths of his sea of qi has been completely lit up by the multicolored vitality, and at this moment, the five qi flowing in his sea of qi have flowed upwards from the jade palace, forming a pillar of qi, moving slowly and slowly. The unusually stable situation is approaching the brightest space at the top of the air sea.
The brightest space is Tianqiao.
At this moment, the top of the air column is only a little away from that bright space.
Just as the Baiyangdong students around Zhang Yi dispersed in disappointment, the last trace of distance also slowly disappeared under the slow and steady movement of the air column.
Ding Ning's body shook slightly.
Sea of Qi, Jade Palace, and Tianqiao are completely connected.
The five energies are like waterfalls, flowing down from the Tianqiao continuously.
Without any delay, without any hindrance, under the traction of Ding Ning's thought power, part of the five qi circulating in Zhou Tian began to condense in a mysterious way.
Some milky white real qi, which was many times heavier than the five qi in the body, began to form and settle down.
The sea of qi began to change, from being filled with five qi at the beginning, it began to be filled with this kind of true qi.
This is the Qi refining environment.
At the moment, many people are talking about his practice, even Zhang Yi, who has always favored him, has no confidence in his breakthrough, and all the students at the mountain gate of the Qingteng Sword Academy think that this is absolutely impossible. possible things.
However, no one knew that this was inevitable for Ding Ning.
This is just a step-by-step, planned thing.
So in this afternoon, while many people were still arguing about this matter, in this quiet thatched cottage, Ding Tranquility quietly broke through.
Qi refining in January.
